Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 799
In the seventh year of Xianhe, during the last few days of Dongyue, the situation of Jiangdong Jiankang Center has undergone great changes.This change not only had a profound impact on the current situation, but also had an extremely profound impact on the future situation of Jiangdong and even the entire world.

The main content of the change is several eye-catching personnel adjustments. First, Prime Minister Wang Dao resigned in Taichung due to old illness, and the empress dowager personally issued an edict to retain him. .When Wang Bin of Langya lived in Kuaiji before, he gave a lot of government, so he lost his hometown wish, so he was dismissed from his post and sent back to his hometown.

There are also several other personnel appointments, such as Langya Zhugehui as Yangzhou Governor, Kuaiji He Xi as Danyang Yin, etc.

After this round of personnel adjustments in Taichung, the long-awaited Huainan victory report finally arrived in Jiankang, and the Taifu officials in Jiankang City finally knew exactly how brilliant the victory in Huainan was. : Beheaded more than 3 people, captured more than [-] people, and killed hundreds of soldiers and generals of all ranks, including many villains who were notorious in Jiangdong.As for the captured weapons and battles, there are countless.However, the suppression of the defeated masses in the upper part of the Huaihe River and the southern part of Henan has not yet been completely completed, and there will still be gains in the follow-up.

With such an astonishing record, it can be said that the result of the battle in Huainan alone will disintegrate the possibility of the slave country's massive southward invasion again in one fell swoop!And holding this exaggerated to almost false battle report, the Taifus finally understood why Huainan dared to put on such a tough stance regardless of Taifu's sentiments. It was because of the backing of a strong enough record!

Huainan in the middle of winter is already biting cold.After a new snowfall, the world is completely white.

Located in a garrison fort ten miles south of Shouchun City, nearly a thousand people gathered here.Shen Zhezi was wrapped in fur and stood at the front of the team, his breath was foggy, and his hair crown was covered with dark frost, but he just looked intently at the wilderness south of the fort.

Behind him, in addition to a group of Huainan officials, there are also many township patriarchs and suzerains in Huainan or southern Henan.In such a severe cold weather, the cold air penetrates the body and the hands cannot come out. Standing so dry in the countryside is naturally not a pleasant experience.But seeing that Shen Zhezi and the soldiers around him were all standing silently on the scene, the rest did not dare to show dissatisfaction or impatience.

Instead of daring to be dissatisfied, whenever they sensed that they were being watched, these people tried their best to squeeze out a warm smile on their faces that had been slightly stiffened by the cold wind, to show that they were also in a happy mood at the moment.

These villagers don't know much about the current situation of the Jiankang court, and they don't have a definite idea of ​​the background and background of Shen Zhezi, a son-in-law of Wu origin. Another important minister was sent north to replace Shen Zhezi.After all, in their old conception, the first-class sect in Jiangdong still belonged to the Langya Wang family. The Wu Xingshen family may rise rapidly in Jiangdong, but it is still immature to want to compete in the Central Plains.

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that some people in southern Henan still maintain an indifferent attitude when they come into contact with Huainan.I am worried that if I get too closely involved with the current Huainan Neishifu, it will make the successor officials unhappy.

But this time Princess Danyang entered the town, which greatly dispelled such hesitation and worries.It can be seen from this that at least in the short term, the Jiangdong court has no intention of recalling Shen Zhezi.This is undoubtedly a great encouragement to the hearts of Huainan today. Shen Zhezi has been in the town for a long time, and he led the army and the people to such a brilliant victory not long ago. His prestige in Huainan Town is no longer second to anyone.

If Jiangdong sends a new official here, it will undoubtedly shake the current situation in Huainan.If it is a successor with an extremely tough posture and means, whether it is to eliminate the influence of Shen Zhezi in the town or to establish authority among the villagers, it will bring many immeasurable variables to Huainan.

Shen Zhezi stood at the front of the crowd, but he was not in the mood to figure out what the heads of the township clan leaders were like.Regarding the arrival of Princess Xingnan, he was also in a state of entanglement. Of course he missed it, and he could feel that the princess's arrival in the town would greatly stabilize the people in the town, but he was really worried whether this girl could withstand the severe cold in Huainan. weather.

It is now a small ice age, and the winter weather is extremely cold. This is one of the reasons why alien races in the northern frontier will invade the Central Plains one after another in the future.Even the future court of the Northern Wei Dynasty will have to face the foreign invaders from Rouran in the north when it enters the Central Plains.Natural disasters and man-made disasters are the mainstream of this period.

Although Jiangdong's winter is damp and cold, it is still within the tolerable range, but even Shen Zhezi feels a little bit overwhelmed by this cold winter in Huainan.Moreover, even the soldiers in the army suffered from frostbite on a large scale, and many planned military operations were put on hold because of this.He was really worried that the princess would not be able to stand the severe cold weather after entering the town, and would endure some tribulations that she could not have endured.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, a lot of hot goat cheese paste was sent from the fortress to share with the people to keep out the cold. Some elderly village chiefs asked people to wear fur coats on their bodies and warm their hands The copper furnace was still trembling uncontrollably.

In fact, Shen Zhezi didn't ask these people to go out of the city to greet them at all, he only brought a few hundred soldiers to wait here.However, after getting the news, these people swarmed over. After sending people to dissuade them several times, Shen Zhezi didn't bother to persuade them again, and accepted the face with a smile.

Finally, the sound of galloping horseshoes sounded in the southern field, and soon a soldier from Huainan rode his horse and rushed forward to report, "I want to report to your son-in-law, the princess has already passed Luodu."

Shen Zhezi raised his eyebrows after hearing the words, but he couldn't help ordering someone to get on the horse. After getting on the horse, he turned around and said to the people around him, "I'm laughing."

Seeing this, everyone moved their already stiff steps, and with some difficulty squeezed out a smile and said: "Young years are full of love, a good story in the world. There is no need to apologize, and we are also happy to see the reunion of love."

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he laughed loudly, lightly tapped the whip in his hand, followed by a hundred horsemen, and rode the horse towards the south, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.The representatives of the various families who were still outside the fortress dared to stomp their feet and retreat into the fortress to avoid the wind.In fact, a copper tripod heater was already set up in the fortress to keep warm, and more food such as soup was prepared to keep out the cold, but even Shen Zhezi was waiting outside, so how dare they sit in the fort.Going out of the city this time to greet her is just to gather some face, otherwise she would just sleep on a high bed at home, why bother to go out of the city to put on a show and annoy her.

Although it was already afternoon at this time, the sky was overcast with clouds, and there was not a ray of sunlight shining through.The new wind blew up again, and tiny ice particles fell from the sky again.

In winter, the water is exhausted, and the Jiangbei waterway, especially the upper half of Tushui, has been completely out of service.After crossing the river, Princess Xingnan and her party had to travel by land.This time when crossing the river, the scale of the ceremony is several times larger than before. The Empress Dowager seems to want to announce to all the families in the capital that there are more than two hundred servants and servants for the princess alone. Nearly [-] members of the Shen family followed, and thousands of guards escorted them along the way.Along the way, local garrisons joined the escort in Liangjun and other places. When they entered Huainan, the team size had expanded to more than [-] people.

In addition to the people following, there were nearly a hundred vehicles in the team, carrying a lot of things.Among them are the rewards from the garden, and the farewell gifts from various dignitaries in the capital, plus some funds raised by the Shen family themselves recently.If there were really those rebellious army bandits who kept silent all the way to snatch this team, then the richness of the rewards would be astonishing.But now that the itinerary is all inland, there is absolutely no danger of this kind.

On the huge four-look car in the team, the carriages were all covered with thick felt, making it airtight. Although the interior of the carriages was not considered cold, the bumpy northward journey that lasted for more than half a month still made the palace people who had lived in the palace for a long time feel uncomfortable. Unable to bear it, many people along the way have fallen ill due to cold.Although Princess Xingnan hadn't contracted the disease yet, she was much thinner and emaciated, but she was still in good spirits. Every time she walked a certain distance, she couldn't help being asked where she was, and then she hung her head and clapped her fingers to mutter something.

"Princess, we have already passed Luodu, and the front road has sent someone to enter the town first to announce. If the wind and snow can fall slowly, we can reach Shouchun at night."

Cui Ling, the young lady of the Cui family, lifted the felt cloth from the corner of the carriage and slipped in. The thick fur coat on her body covered her slender and light figure. She just shrank in a corner of the carriage for fear of bringing the cold air into the carriage.

After hearing this, Princess Xingnan's eyes became even brighter, and she walked to the car door and lifted a corner of the felt cloth, and then a cold wind rushed towards her face.Seeing this, Mrs. A Ling rushed forward to cover the felt cloth, but she was pushed away by the princess with a wave of her hand, and said with a smile: "I want to take a closer look, how magnificent is the foundation of my husband's achievements in fighting and killing the enemy !"

The scenery outside the car is actually not impressive, as far as the eye can see, it is all barren. There may be some fortresses on the ground in the distance, and thick white smoke is floating and spreading in the sky above them.The north wind became more and more violent, blowing the flags in the team and making a sound, the wind and sand gradually flew up, and the ice particles hit the face already felt extremely painful.

At this moment, a carriage approached from the side, and Yu Bin, who was wrapped in hemp rice dumplings, rushed towards the wind. He was stunned when he saw the princess's protruding face. Quickly get back into the car, if I catch a cold, I really can't explain to Wei Zhou."

"I'm fine, cousin don't need to worry. After passing Luodu, how long will it take to reach Shouchun?"

The princess smiled and waved her hand, then asked Yu Bin full of hope.

After hearing this, Yu Bin's face became a little bad, and he cupped his hands and said, "I came here to tell the princess that the cold wind is getting more and more rampant, and there may be a blizzard later. If the wind and snow are really too strong, we may We will also stay in the nearby fortress for a day."

After the princess heard this, her complexion became dark, but she saw that all the soldiers in the team were walking against the wind, and she didn't want to force people to suffer in the cold wind because of her own private thoughts, but she said in a low voice: " Listen to my cousin's arrangement."

After she finished speaking, she retreated into the carriage, sat on one side of her knees, resting her chin on one hand, with a sad expression on her face: "This annoying snowstorm..."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of violent cheers from the team outside the car, and even the sound of the wind was suppressed for a while.Without turning his heels, there was a rapid sound of horseshoes approaching the driver's place.After hearing this sound, Princess Xingnan's eyes suddenly brightened, and then she raised the curtain to look out, and the slightly blurred outline gradually became clear in her vision.

Soon, a handsome young marshal wearing silver armor and a cloak hood rode through the team, avoiding the people and horses he passed, and soon reined in the carriage, with a smile on his mouth and bright eyes looking straight at her.And behind him, there are hundreds of brave soldiers on horseback, and thousands of soldiers from the original team, who are cheering and cheering for him.
