Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1416
The scale of Lieren City is not very large. A few months ago, there was a big battle that destroyed more than half of the city. Even if some buildings were repaired later, they were all used for storage. General Yijia could only stay in the wild when he drove here.

When Qu Zhou and his party arrived in Lieren City, Tian Ju couldn't help but feel astonished when he learned that the well-known General Shen lived in a small-scale camp in the plains outside the city.

Although he didn't hold any position in the country of Jie, he once went to meet Shihu, the master of Jie, instead of his adoptive father Tian Fu. He saw how large-scale the master of Jie's camp was, with tens of thousands of followers at every turn, and the guard of honor stretched for miles .Judging from the scale of Yijia alone, this Southern General Shen is not lacking in shabbiness, so that a crazy thought can't help but arise in his heart: If there is still a wandering army of Jie soldiers wandering around in this place, they stumbled upon this place...

This thought was so terrifying that Tian Ju didn't dare to think deeply about it.But when he entered the camp, he realized that this idea was also a bit naive and ridiculous.

Although the scale of the camp is small, even the outer fences are buried deep in the ground and thicker than an arm. They are densely packed with horses, like ferocious minions of ferocious beasts. Wide cities are even more difficult to break through.

Although there were not many soldiers in the camp, they were all burly and sturdy, and there was a bloody aura emanating from every gesture.

Especially those soldiers equipped with staffs are so extravagant that it is dizzyingly extravagant. Two stone bows are only standard equipment. The steel-cast sculpture looks as silent as a mountain, which is awe-inspiring.

There is an almost substantive pressure in the camp, and the veteran generals who have experienced many battles feel it more profoundly. No matter where they stand, there seem to be many pairs of eyes staring at them, and the slightest movement will inevitably lead to blood spattering on the spot Tian Ju didn't even dare to relax his breath, and walked slowly, for fear that if he moved too much, he would arouse the solemn murderous aura, and it would turn into a mountain avalanche in an instant.

It is only natural to think about it, this General Shen, who has not met yet, is definitely the most powerful person in the world today, including the ruler Shihu when he was the most powerful, he is far behind him, how could he be in danger Without defense?

After entering the camp, Tian Ju and his entourage were placed in a partial tent and waited. Tian Ju glanced helplessly at Jin Xuangong who had been led away by the soldiers, and then sat obediently in the tent, talking slowly He sipped the tea brought by the soldiers, but the ubiquitous and non-stop scrutiny around him made him feel like sitting on pins and needles, and he was already sweating profusely.

As soon as he entered the camp, he was summoned by the General, and Jin Xuangong was quite flattered, and now he can be regarded as one of the General's disciples, and after entering the account, he went to pay homage: "Jin Xuangong, my disciple, see the General..."

"No need to be too polite, take your seat first, and explain the details of the merits of this trip."

Shen Zhezi didn't have much work to do at the moment, so he raised his hand to signal Jin Xuangong to sit nearby, and there was a bit of appreciation in his eyes. Although he cherished Jin Xuangong's talent, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to make his mark not long after he joined the army. Rather pleased.

Hearing this, Jin Xuangong was a little ashamed. He also thought that his long-distance attack on Shangbai should be regarded as a miraculous achievement, but the various developments in the subsequent war made him understand that the master Hu Run was carefully arranged. With the power of thunder, his move to conquer Shangbai was not as meaningful as originally thought.

However, since the general asked about it, he gave a brief account, and said truthfully: "Conquering Shangbai may be a shame, but there is really nothing to boast about. Fortunately, the general is generous and never held the responsibility of his subordinates for their actions. ..."

"Hu Houze is the commander-in-chief. If he can't even tolerate a small change in his command, it's his dereliction of duty. As for you, you have no negative aspects. It is very rare to be able to stand on your feet and make progress against the current."

Jin Xuangong, as a low-level leader of the army, can not be restricted by the predicament, take the initiative to break the situation and still not go against the official plan, this is the embodiment of ability, the position is different, the standard is naturally different.At least the performance in this first battle did not live up to the general's expectations.

Of course, having said that, in the entire Wangshi system, there are thousands if not thousands of commanders like Jin Xuangong, and many of them have performed well in regional battlefields, but not many of them can really be commended by the general. .

So even though it was just a verbal compliment, Jin Xuangong was extremely grateful and quickly kowtowed.

"Tell me about Guangzong's begging for work."

Shen Zhezi didn't have too many pleasantries to motivate them, so he turned around and talked about the business.

Jin Xuangong quickly corrected his posture, and told all the details of his contact with Guangzong Qihuo.The Qihuojun expressed his willingness to surrender, although Jin Xuangong was involved in building a bridge, but in fact he did not dare to take credit for it, because the Qihuojun already had plans in this regard.

Not long after he captured Shangbai, Guangzong reacted. Hundreds of rangers arrived outside Shangbai City and walked around the city to investigate the details.At that time, Shangbai City didn't have enough defense forces, so Jin Xuangong bit the bullet and shouted at the city gate to invite him to see him. If the begging army refused to negotiate, he had nothing to do.

Fortunately, the development of the situation was in a good direction, and Tian Fu, the lord of Guangzong City, came to Shangbai in person and asked Jin Xuangong to come to his camp to talk in detail.Jin Xuangong also risked his life to get out of the city, so he reached a reluctant consensus.

Afterwards, the development of the situation was recorded in detail in the Hurun Journal. Jin Xuangong temporarily stayed in the begging army as a hostage, but he didn't know much about it.

After asking a few more details, Shen Zhezi also had a certain understanding of Guangzong's begging work, so he stopped talking in this regard, and said to Jin Xuangong: "You don't have to go to Hu Houze's army, first stay and win the Wu army. Temporarily serve as a lieutenant in the army, and then go to Shahe with the army to listen to him."

Finally, he had meritorious service, not only failed to accumulate meritorious service, but his military rank was downgraded by one rank, but Jin Xuangong was not disappointed at all, instead he was very pleasantly surprised and thanked him again and again.Originally, the Fourth Army of Xingtai and the Guanzhong Zhenwu Army were added. These powerful armies were already one level higher than the other main forces, and the Shengwu Army was the strongest of the strong armies. If a Lieutenant of the Shengwu Army It is not surprising to be sent abroad to serve as the regular main force leader.

Jin Xuangong is even more delighted that the right-wing war has come to an end for the time being, and as the cold winter comes, there will be no major battle plans for the time being.Xie Ai's attack on Xiangguo from the direction of Shahe will definitely be put on the agenda later, and the general will use him there at this time. This kind of emphasis on cultivation really surprised him.

When Jin Xuangong left with tears of gratitude, Shen Zhezi summoned Tian Ju from Guangzong again.Regarding the placement of Guangzong's begging work, he already had an idea in his mind. The specific arrangement, of course, depends on the attitude of Guangzong's people.

Tian Ju walked into the camp full of apprehension, and then bowed his head to pay homage. He didn't even dare to take a look at the powerful minister of the Southern Kingdom sitting on the head. Looking up, there was obvious surprise on his face at first, and then he lowered his head in a hurry as if he felt that he was rude.

Seeing this scene, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but smile.He doesn't know what kind of image he should be in the imagination of these Hebei people, but recently he has summoned people from Hebei, and similar reactions are not uncommon. It is obvious that his image is somewhat different from the imagination of these Hebei people.

It was not his fault that he was too handsome, and he would not feel inferior because of it, nor did he need to cover his face with iron armor in order to maintain his majesty and evil spirit.

"The name of begging for living, I heard it in the early days of the old year, and I couldn't bear to cry. Yanzhao is so heroic, it is the backbone of my Xia, what kind of worldly harm makes the people so weak? I don't know why you can share a little bit for me. speak?"

Tian Ju was still amazed at the amazing character of General Shen, when he heard this question, he couldn't help being slightly surprised, and couldn't react for a while.Naturally, he also thought about what many general Shen would ask, but this question still exceeded his expectations.

Why did the begging army come here? To be honest, even Tian Ju is considered a high-level figure in Guangzong's begging work, and he doesn't know much about it.A group of suffering people struggling on the verge of death, making a living is difficult, and there is no tradition of believing in history.Moreover, in the past few years, the continuation of the begging force has also been very tortuous and difficult. If it is not for the perseverance of the internal group, it will inevitably be crushed by the torrent of the trend.

But since General Shen asked such a question, he had to answer it.So Tian Ju could only bite the bullet and narrate the development process of the begging army after he became aware of the matter. The words inevitably involved all kinds of tyranny in the Jie country. The situation of Guangzong Qihuo did not improve at all.

Shen Zhezi listened carefully, occasionally asking some detailed questions.Based on some knowledge of later generations, he also has a certain understanding of the Qihuo Army, but the Qihuo Army is not the mainstream force in this world. After thousands of years of dissemination of only a few words of records, it will inevitably become completely different.

Although it has been a long time since I have been based in this world, I really don't know much about the begging army.So Shen Zhezi was willing to meet Guangzong's envoy more out of curiosity.

For the begging army, Shen Zhezi had complicated emotions. Apart from sympathy, there was also a kind of intolerance of the superiors.Hu Run has already reported Guangzong's request for begging for work. Under the general situation of Master Wang's recovery of Hebei, he still wants to seek an existence independent of Wang Fa. Apart from being naive, it is really pathetic.

However, Shen Zhezi also understands that the Qihuo Army's pursuit of independence is completely different from Hebei Shiliu's struggle to preserve the rural power.They are a group of truly poor people at the bottom. Although they have their own armed forces, they are far from reaching the level of having political opinions and lacking in long-term planning.

If you want to make an analogy, Liu Laozhi of the Jiangbei Prefecture in later generations is similar to the beggar army. He has a strong force, but he has no political demands of his own or is unable to realize his own demands. Minion Butcher Knife.

But the Qihuo army is more tragic than the Beifu soldiers. At the very least, the Beifu soldiers have a hero like Liu Yu, who took advantage of the opportunity of the Jiangdong family to fight for power and profit, and jumped onto the political stage to become the protagonist.

However, from the beginning of its establishment to the final demise of the Qihuo Army, it has never been given such an opportunity.Perhaps the cooperation between Li Nong and Ran Min was the most likely when the Jie Kingdom collapsed in later generations, but with the execution of Li Nong, the begging army as a force will no longer have such an opportunity.
