Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 305
Thirty miles away from Yunyang Village, on the flat ground is the camp of General Wang Shu of the Fujun Army.

Earlier, Wang Shu had been stationed in Langya County in Qiaoli, but with the fall of Gyeonggi, he had to move away.This is because Langya County itself has a small area and few people, and there is no danger to defend from the Gyeonggi. Once the Liyang Army turns to attack here, it will be an absolute disadvantage.

Although he left Langya County, Wang Shu did not stay away from Gyeonggi. On the one hand, he did not have a stable place to go, and on the other hand, he did not have enough food and grass.Therefore, the main scope of activities of Wang Shu's department is within the territory of Danyang, and the counties and counties around Gyeonggi. During the march, they collected the children of military households scattered in the counties and counties, as well as food, grass and military equipment one by one.

It's just that, now that Gyeonggi has fallen, everyone knows the importance of manpower and materials.Although Wang Shu has the title of governor, he has no responsibility to govern the people.Therefore, all localities are also seizing this loophole and making many excuses. So far, less than 2000 soldiers have been recruited through this method.Therefore, the main force of Wang Shu's army is only the three thousand Huaibei army that Xijian sent Linhuai prefect Liu Ju to support earlier.

Not having a fixed post is already a big flaw, what is even more serious is the shortage of soldiers.Earlier in Langya County, Wang Shu still had thousands of troops.However, with the fall of Gyeonggi, many of the family soldiers who had been pieced together for him by various families in Langya County fled privately and returned to the village to protect their own property.This is also one of the reasons why Wang Shu was forced to leave Langya County.If they stayed in Langya for a long time, without the need for rebels to attack, nearly half of their troops would flee.

The reason why the more than 3000 people gathered by the Shen family in Qu'a came to conscript at the end was to wait until the subordinates were more powerful, so as to force the Shen family to submit.

After leaving Yunyang Manor, Yang Ben went back to the camp and went straight to the camp of the Chinese army, and recounted in detail what happened in the manor earlier.

"This raccoon really doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth! His family's Wuzong name has only been washed away for a few days, and his name has not been cleared. He is not a military talent? Could it be that he thinks that he is actually the choice of the three? How ridiculous!"

The first person to speak in the tent was Wang Biaozhi. Because of some old grievances in his early years, he had always had a lot of resentment towards Shen Zhezi, even though he lived together in the capital, he had never had any contact with him.Hearing Yang Ben's story of being repelled by Shen Zhezi at this time, Dang even sneered a little bit angrily.

There are many children of the Wang family in the tent, and upon hearing Wang Biaozhi's words, they all laughed at this raccoon's arrogance.Even people like them have to stay in the army and manage a lot of military affairs reluctantly, so why would Wuzhong raccoon dare to make such a big statement?

At this time, Wang Yunzhi, who was present with him, couldn't help coughing twice, and everyone stopped talking one after another, and looked at Wang Shu in the center of the big tent with a somewhat unfriendly expression, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

Wang Shu looked at the unbearable posture of his own children, and his brows were tightly knitted.The experience of this period of time in the past can be regarded as the depression that he has never experienced in his life.Not to mention the perfunctory gestures of those county officials, the many ignorant words and deeds of his own children made him accumulate resentment for a long time.

When Wang Shu's power was at its peak, he also served as the most important person in Shaanxi Province. When it came to military strategy, he was not inferior to his cousin Wang Dun, and he was even more strict in running the army.The Taibao sought a military post for him, and Wang Shu was also happy to see the success, but he was still dissatisfied. Since he had already added the knot, why didn't he go further and pretend to be the governor of Yangzhou?So much so that he is in such a predicament now, he is called the governor, but his authority is greatly reduced. He is more like the leader of the guards of this group of children, and it is extremely difficult to do anything in this chaos.

These remarks of the disciples fell into Wang Shu's eyes, which made him feel even more that his family really lacked successors and had a lot of talents.Not because of his arrogance, he always thought that his son Wang Yunzhi was the No. 1 descendant in his family, even the Taibao's sons Changyu and Jingyu were inferior.

Even though they had never met each other before, Wang Shu also knew that Shen Jiazi was definitely not a mediocre person, so refusing with this reason was just to add to his troubles.To be honest, he didn't force himself to be able to control the Shen family's trilogy at all. Even if these private soldiers were included, it would be difficult to dispatch them.

No matter what Shen Shiju's heart is, bringing such a large part of his family's power into his own order is tantamount to cutting off the Shen family's room for swaying, and at the same time setting an example for other families in Wuzhong.When he got in touch with Yuanzhong Taibao, he won the name of acting as the governor of Yangzhou temporarily, and then took control of the rebels in all parts of Wuzhong.

After pondering for a while, Wang Shu gave the order: "Battle out, move on, and station in Yunyang Township."

Since this son refused to accept the official position he had given him, he would stay in Qu'a and not leave. Anyway, he would wander around elsewhere. The terrain around Qu'a is good, so he can build camps to defend himself, even if the rebels It is not good to attack and resist, and you can also withdraw southward and enter Yixing through Maoshan.

With such a close distance, it doesn't matter if Shen Jiazi doesn't accept the official position he gave him.If you want it again in the future, you won't give it to me!

At the same time, he looked at his son Wang Yunzhi and said: "Later, Shenyou will lead a group to Qu'e County to count the military households and recruit them into the camp. There is also the Suwei Department in the county, and they will be taken over together!"

Wang Yunzhi got up to take orders, and then led two personal soldiers out of the big tent.

-----

After driving away Yang Ben, Shen Zhezi ordered the gathered family members to pack up and set off immediately.Now that Wang Shu has entered Qu'e, there is no need for scouts to explore the way, and he knows that there is no enemy around.

In the past few years, Qu'a has accumulated a large amount of manpower and material resources, and it is difficult to withdraw them all at once.Among other things, these houses and workshops alone cannot be transferred.Moreover, there are still a large number of hired workers, and it is difficult to evacuate with the team.Loss is inevitable and unavoidable.

That's why Shen Zhezi hoped that Ji You would not resist the rebels, and even surrender to Qu Shizhi if necessary, in order to preserve Qu'a's vitality as much as possible.No matter what Su Jun's military purpose is, it is absolutely impossible to pacify Jiangdong with the strength in his hands. As long as Qu'a does not oppose him clearly, he will not waste too many troops in Qu'a.

Before leaving, Shen Zhezi went to consult Ji You again.

"Wei Zhou taught me earlier that I ignored the general situation in the early days. There was no need to shed too much Wu blood when the northerners fought against each other. Zhongshu forced the rebellion against Liyang, so why should the villagers of Qu'a be blamed? I can't because My own stubbornness has caused military disasters for the people of this village."

After making the decision, Ji You inevitably had a bitter expression.He does have obsessions in his heart, not to mention that many clansmen in the family served in the guards and fought to the death outside of the capital, but his grandfather alone protected the Sixth Army when he was alive, which can be described as loyal and courageous.Now he has to follow the thief under the pressure of the situation, which is somewhat unacceptable psychologically, but he also knows that he has to do so at the moment.

Ji You was able to figure it out, and Shen Zhezi felt relieved.Although they evacuated Qu'a right now, it didn't mean they gave up completely.In the future, there will be an upsurge in King Qin's trend, and Qu'a is another bridgehead for counterattacking Gyeonggi. Right now, his family is only occupying the general trend. If they want to achieve the actual division of interests after the war, they still need to make great achievements.

The matter of regaining Gyeonggi, Shen Zhezi must not be left in the hands of others!He wanted to finish this matter himself, and Ji You stayed in Qu'a to pave the way for the next battle.

In order to cheer Ji You up, Shen Zhezi also gave a brief account of his future plans.The current forbearance and not showing up, on the one hand, is indeed a slight military inferiority, and on the other hand, it is to accumulate strength to avoid Li Yang's current momentum.

After hearing Shen Zhezi's plan, Ji You's eyes were also shining brightly: "Weizhou, don't worry, since there are still such plans in the future, I will do my best to preserve Qu'a and not make unnecessary sacrifices!"

Just as he was talking, his family members came to report the latest news about Wang Shujun. His forward had arrived outside Yunyang Village and was digging the ground, as if he was about to build a camp.At the same time, someone from the county government came to Wang Yunzhi to arrive with an order.

The distance from each other is not very far, and it will take a little time for the family to get ready.Shen Zhezi led more than a hundred Longxi soldiers to accompany Ji You to the county office to deal with Wang Yunzhi, and then deal with Wang Shu's affairs when he came back.

Qu'a was originally the leading county in Danyang. Although it is no longer what it used to be after the split, the county office has inherited the scale of the old Wu, comparable to an ordinary county government.At present, there is no tradition of being an official and not repairing the government office. Ji You has been with Shen Zhezi for a long time, and he has a lot of money. Based on the past, he will expand the county office, so the scale of the county office will be even larger.

Wang Yunzhi did not enter the county office, but just waited in front of the gate with his army.He dispatched an army of nearly 2000 people this time, just to force Ji You to submit with a tough stance. After all, he saw that his father had plans to stay in Qu'a for a long time, and it was extremely important to force the local chief to submit to cooperate with the military.

Seeing Ji You and Shen Zhezi walking side by side, Wang Yunzhi was not surprised. He rode his horse up to meet him, then got off his horse, cupped his hands and said, "A certain military officer is here, so it's inconvenient to complete the ceremony. Please don't blame Ji Mingfu. How are you, Weizhou?" , It’s a great fortune not to be trapped in the capital, but now it’s inconvenient to celebrate, don’t blame it.”

Both Shen Zhezi and Ji You also stepped forward to pay respects. Although they didn't deal with each other, they still had to maintain the etiquette in face.

Immediately after Wang Yunzhi mentioned what had happened, Ji You also nodded repeatedly and said: "It is a blessing for us and the villagers to make you a state official, and to supervise this township. There are more than 230 military households in the county, and there are [-] food collection Dendrobium, it has been prepared for a long time, Brother Shen You can take it directly without waiting, so as not to miss the military."

This was also what the two of them discussed when they came here. Since Wang Shu brought so many people to fight against the autumn wind, it is not good to spend nothing, so he should treat it as a waste of money to avoid disaster.

When Wang Yunzhi heard this, his eyes flickered slightly. Ji You's attitude was straightforward, but this gesture was to quench his thirst and not to satisfy his enjoyment. For a while, he didn't know whether to make trouble or not.After pondering for a while, he decided to skip this section first, and said: "Our department will be stationed in Qu'a for a period of time, and these can be discussed again. There is still an important matter at the moment. Most of the guards are in exile, and the Lao Ming Mansion will help to count the returned troops."

When Ji You heard this, his face became embarrassing: "In order to make the king work, it should be divided. It's just that when the guards fled, they mostly mixed with the villagers in the suburbs of Beijing. Now there is no record of the guards. It is really not good. It’s easy to count, I don’t know if brother Shen You taught me anything?”

When Wang Yunzhi heard this, he was almost choked. The guard's register was in the Military Mansion of the Central Guard in the capital.Ji You's remark was clearly an excuse, he had a lot of guts to keep Su Wei in Qu'a.

"National disasters are ahead, everything can be done according to expediency! The Ming government is so evasive, ignoring the national crisis, it seems to be contrary to the loyalty and family tradition of the Zunfu!"

Speaking of this, Wang Yunzhi's tone was a little blunt.

When Ji You heard this, he immediately sneered again and again: "In the previous battle outside the capital, my thirteen members generously spilled blood! I don't know how many people in the Zunfu donated their lives for the national disaster? I was appointed by Taichung as the township, It depends on you, Wang Shenyou, and not me!"

It is true that the Wang family is high-spirited, and the Ji family is also not weak, especially in this land of Danyang.Even if Wang Yunzhi came aggressively, if he dared to use force against Ji You, it would be even more difficult for Wang Shu to take control of the old guard in the future based on the reputation of the Ji family in the old guard.

Shen Zhezi also took a step forward calmly and stood behind Ji You, and all the Longxi soldiers came forward one after another. He looked at Wang Yunzhi and said, "We are both for state affairs, why do you bother brother Shenyou?"

Seeing Wang Yunzhi's unbearable resentment, deeply hating how the two of them ignored the overall situation, Shen Zhezi couldn't help sneering in his heart.Who the hell doesn't have a big picture in mind?Who must follow whose overall situation?But immediately he couldn't help but smile wryly, if not for each family's own calculations, the fate of the country may not be so difficult.But having said that, who is willing to give up a game of chess for others?
