Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 101
Shen Zhezi went north from Wucheng, and when he passed through Wu County, a thought came to his mind, should he pay a visit to Lu's residence?
After all, the Yan family was his disciple, and after the successive deaths of the elders in Wuzhong, Lu Ye of the Lu family was already one of the most dignified people living in the southern court, and later became the only minister among the southerners who was able to assist the government.

But after weighing it for a long time, he finally gave up on this plan.Regardless of whether the Lu family will abandon the Yan family or not, it is already on the line and has to be done.

Moreover, Shen Zhezi didn't trust Gu and Lu from Jiangdong's first-class noble families.

Years ago, because of the appearance of his teacher Ji Zhan, the Jiangdong scholars were reluctant to unite the front, but with Ji Zhan's death, this alliance gradually disintegrated.The first one to waver was the Lu family. Lu Ye's younger brother, Lu Wan, was imprisoned because he was the chief historian of Wang Dun. In order to avoid being imprisoned, the Lu family contacted all directions.

Originally, the plan provided by the Shen family was to help Lu Wan seek the position of internal history in Xuancheng. Nowadays, Kuaiji and Xuancheng are both the towns of Sima Yushi, the king of Langya, so the county guards call them "internal history".The two counties are located in the east and west of Zhejiang Province, and they can rely on each other and help each other. This can further consolidate the power and discourse of the southerners in the local area, and then strengthen the southerners' camp.

Moreover, Lu Wan is a high-ranking man with high qualifications and qualifications. It is not impossible for him to take the post in Xuancheng for a period of time. After the reputation of rebellion gradually subsides, it is not impossible for him to go south to take charge of Jiangzhou.Once Lu Wan takes control of Jiangzhou, the power of the southerners in the entire court will undergo a qualitative leap, and they can completely fight against the overseas Chinese!
However, the Lu family rejected the Shen family's proposal. Looking at his heart, Shen Zhezi felt that there were no other than two factors.

First, Xuancheng had just passed through the Wang Dun Rebellion, and there were still many rebellious troops raging, and the territory was not peaceful.Moreover, Xuancheng and Liyang are facing each other across the river, and Su Jun's troops are famous for their bravery.Lu Wan was worried that he would not be able to suppress the situation and that he would be oppressed by Su Jun's army, so he did not go.

The second is that although Xuancheng has a favorable location, it does not belong to the prominent position.The predecessor, Shen Chong Township, was born in the noble Wuzong, the successor, Zhong Ya, was at the end of his family, and the successor, Huan Yi, was from an unknown family in China and North Korea. None of them could compare with the first-class Lu family in Jiangdong.Lu Wan is ashamed to be compared with such people, so he can't.

Since the Shen family's proposal cannot be approved, the Lu family naturally needs to seek the strength of the overseas Chinese family. After many twists and turns, Lu Wan has now replaced his brother as Shangshu Zuopushe, second only to Shangshuling's senior officials in Taiwan Province, and his status is higher than that of Xuancheng's own history. worlds apart.

However, the position is respected, and now Yu Liang and Wang Dao in Taiwan are fighting against each other, and Jiyin Bianyi's party is strict, and even Shangshu Ling Xijian has to keep silent, how much energy does this Shangshu Zuopushe have?If you have a good future and a bright future, if you don’t want to be a chief official, you have to get into Taiwan and work as a small boy to cheer for others!

Now the two brothers are both living in Taiwan Province, and they are the most distinguished people in Wu, and Lu Men Xuanhe is also unique in Jiangdong.But so what?Anyone who holds one or two real powers will not take it seriously when weighing the current situation.

Regarding the Lu family's wonderful values, Shen Zhezi is really powerless to complain.His family inherited the tradition of sticking knives in the back of their ancestors, but unfortunately they did not have the matching vision and ability.The one Lu Xun stabbed was Guan Gong of Megatron Huaxia, and the second Duke of Lu Clan is just a plaything in the hands of those in power.

Now that he had given up on the Lu family, Shen Zhezi went straight to Jingkou.

From what I saw along the way, the chaos around Jingkou has improved compared to last year.The most notable change is that many newly reclaimed land appeared in the wilderness. On the way, Shen Zhezi also saw many farmers burning wasteland in the wilderness and plowing the land in winter.

However, as we get closer to Jingkou, we can still feel the huge population pressure here.Such as Kuaiji's uninhabited scene in the wilderness, you can never see it here.As we drove, we could frequently see groups of refugees with numb expressions and ragged clothes slowly heading south.

Perhaps in the minds of these refugees, Sanwu, free from wars and wars, is already a carefree paradise, and they instinctively want to go to a better world.However, these people will be disappointed in the end. Even if they go all the way to Sanwu, it is by no means the beginning of a better life, but they will be ruthlessly expelled.

Maybe some of them will be accepted by various manors as shade households, but most of them will probably be exhausted in this meaningless migration.

This fact is indeed cruel, but for the Wu people, what can they do?It is not their fault that the Northland is corrupt, so why are they willing to distribute the land they depend on for their vitality to this group of strangers.

Shen Zhezi couldn't bear the torment in his heart, hoping to do his best for these refugees, so he sent guards to persuade them to go to Dantu.After the Shen family's fleet in Zhoushan has a certain scale, they can go north to Dajiang and go west to pick up and divert refugees to Kuaiji. This will not only fill the population of Kuaiji, but also relieve the population pressure along Jingkou.

Because the imperial edict is not allowed, this kind of thing can only be done in private.As long as you avoid the many eyes and ears on land, and those who handle it have their own interests and needs, a stable refugee evacuation channel can be formed.

However, those refugees turned a deaf ear to it, and even spoke harsh words to Shen Zhezi and his party, complaining that they disturbed their beautiful fantasy.

In this regard, Shen Zhezi could only cover his face and sigh.He didn't blame these refugees for being unreasonable and committing suicide.Shenzhou land sinks, the world collapses, and they cannot be blamed anyway.Homes are destroyed, relatives are killed, how can we force people to have no hostility in their hearts?The only regret is that my energy is not enough to affect the current situation, and many things can only be done intentionally and powerlessly.

The limitations of history, one is that we cannot see a better future, and the other is that we can see it but cannot do it.

In any world, there are rules and regulations.Before he has enough energy, if he wants to do things as he pleases and tramples on the rules recklessly, he will only fall into a desperate situation besieged on all sides. Even those rescued may counterattack and divide and eat them.

With a heavy heart, Shen Zhezi arrived at Jingkou.The purpose of his visit this time is to pay a visit to Xu Mao and invite him to send troops south to attack the Yan family.There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the exile militiamen, Yan's collusion with Jiehu, and Xu Mao's task of patrolling Jingkou to guard against Hu, went south to challenge them, and did not overstep.

In the original history, Gaoping Xijian went out to town Guangling in July to govern Jingkou.Probably the emperor was ill at that time, and he knew his fate would not be long, so he released Xijian to stabilize the important town of Jingkou.

But now, the emperor is still alive and well, and Xi Jian has not yet taken office, and is still in Jiankang as a minister.

Although Shen Zhezi didn't plan to set foot in Jingkou too early, he also knew that if the Northern Expedition was to be made, it would be impossible to bypass the important town of Beifu.His family did not have the capital and channels to seek cooperation with Gaoping Xi's family, so they could only lay the groundwork in Jingkou in advance in their own way, mixed with sand, and Xu Mao, who had a deep friendship with the Shen family, was naturally the first choice.

Inviting Xu Mao to go south this time, in addition to sharing the military pressure, it is also a more in-depth cooperation with Xu Mao to pull him into his own camp.The Yan family is rich, and anyone who can participate in this carve-up feast will be rewarded handsomely.

The Shen family had a lot of contacts with Xu Mao's army, so this time Shen Zhezi was successfully introduced into Xu Mao's barracks. After waiting for about half an hour, Xu Mao, who was in armor, came in a hurry.

"It's rude to make Wei Zhou wait for a long time."

Xu Maoxing came into the hall, smiled warmly at Shen Zhezi, and praised him generously: "Farewell to the next year, Weizhou's demeanor is even more outstanding, and the sound of Qingyue resounds throughout Jiangdong, making me proud to know Weizhou. Brother Shiju With Lin'er like you, I have no regrets!"

"Thank you Minggong for your praise, I am really flattered!"

Shen Zhezi got up to salute. Seeing that Xu Mao was much thinner than when he met last time, with a tired look on his brows, he couldn't help asking: "Ming Gong looks tired, is it possible that the situation in the north is turbulent again?"

Xu Mao sat in the table, and laughed after hearing the words: "The two thieves attacked each other and killed corpses all over the field. They are temporarily unable to commit crimes in the south, and the situation in Huaibei is relatively stable."

Shen Zhezi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He only had a general idea of ​​the chaotic situation in the north.

"The purpose of Weizhou's trip, I already knew the letter from Brother Shiju earlier. Although I am ignorant, but my hometown Sangzi has been reduced to the minions of Hu thieves, I am ashamed in my life, and I swear that I will not drink the water of the same river with Jie slaves!"

When Xu Mao said this, his face showed a bit of sternness, and he said in a deep voice: "Yan's dog thief, who dared to collude with Jie Nu in spite of his cruelty, should be punished for his crime! Brother Shiju's righteousness, it is my duty, Kill all these shameless people!"

Hearing Xu Mao's statement, Shen Zhezi praised his high righteousness, and then agreed on the details of sending troops.

The three thousand troops under Xu Mao's command are all the elite soldiers of the exile militia, and they can fight fiercely with Jiehu all day long.The fall of the Northern Lands, the rulers of the chaos should bear the first crime, and the responsibility cannot be entirely attributed to the generals and soldiers.

From Jingkou to Jiaxing in the south, the land route is long and passes through several states and counties. It is difficult to keep the military traces secret, and it will also affect the hearts of all parties.Shen Zhezi is not proficient in military affairs, so he dare not speak rashly.Therefore, Xu Mao decided that when he dispatched troops, he would lead thousands of elite troops east to the Yangtze River, south to Haiyan, and join Shenchong Kuaiji County soldiers by water to attack the Yan clan across the sea.

On land, the Shen family's tribes blocked along the Tiaoxi River, trapped the Yan family to death in Jiaxing, and wiped out them all in one battle!
After discussing the details, Shen Zhezi remembered something and asked Xu Mao: "Did Minggong go to Huaibei to visit Quanlinggong recently?"

After Xu Mao heard the words, he sighed, shook his head and said, "Although I still belong to the Quanling Ministry, I'm getting estranged day by day, and I haven't visited for a long time."

"It's not a bad thing to do so. I've heard people say that Duke Quanling is plagued by illness, and I'm afraid that the Spring and Autumn Period will be over."

Shen Zhezi reminded, click on it.Liu Xia will die of illness next year, and there will be turmoil in Huaibei at that time.It would be a good thing if Xu Mao could stay away from it.

"I've also heard about this matter. Thinking about the old kindness of Lord Quanling, and now being isolated by villains, I can't see and greet him face to face. I really can't feel relieved."

Xu Mao's tone was slightly gloomy, Liu Xia was his benefactor, but it's a pity that the exiled militia under his command were full of conflicts, and they were like a mess.He asked himself that he had not subdued the majesty of many giants, so he could only stay away to avoid disaster.

After chatting with each other for a while, Shen Zhezi told Xu Mao about his family's settlement in Wukang. After having a stable retreat, Xu Mao was in a much happier mood.

When Shen Zhezi was about to leave for a rest, Xu Mao hesitated to speak a few times, and finally moved the seat to Shen Zhezi's side, leaned over and said softly, "Have Wei Zhou heard of the five-level three-promotion and the hermit salary?"

Seeing Xu Mao's mysterious face, Shen Zhezi suddenly became confused.

　Suddenly, I felt a pair of dark eyes watching me, and I didn't dare to drive indiscriminately. . .so awkward. . .
