Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 314
Following Shen Zhezi's chants, the atmosphere in the bamboo building changed from impetuous at first to silent, and then became a little depressed.

This article "Difficult to Travel", the opening chapter brings the rolling river in front of you, and the vision can be described as grand.Even if everyone in the audience is not well-educated, they are all people with family background. After going through the hardships of the world, they may not have tried to make up this old Yuefu title in private, but most of them are just complaining, feeling that they are out of time, like a woman. It's not easy to show in front of people when people whisper.

It can be said that in Shen Zhezi's article, from the first sentence of the title, the artistic conception is much higher than that of the old titles that have been circulated earlier.The next sentence continues, the waves rise suddenly, and there are thousands of feet of waves in Russia. Naturally, it is about the capture of Jiankang by the Liyang rebels.The huge waves are raging, and everyone is as humble as an ant in this turbulent situation. How easy is it to turn the tide?
Arriving here, it can be said that the changes of the current situation and the humbleness of human resources have been written to an extreme.The cross flow of the river can be described as a natural moat, but so what?When the waves come together, there will be huge waves, and everyone will feel uncomfortable.However, why is the hardship of life so much? The Northland is corrupt, the Shenzhou land is sinking, the barbarians are rampant, and there are many bones!Looking north, all I saw was despair!
After chanting so far, the feeling can be said to be oppressive and heavy.People's roads are difficult, and the fate of the country is also difficult, and walking is difficult.However, just when the emotion sank to the trough, there was a sudden reversal, there were no heroes, Huo Hou was lonely, I would like to be armored, and follow the example of the sages to seal the wolf and live in Xuxu!Don't think I'm just pretending to be crazy, I'd like to cut my stomach and let you have a taste of whether it's heroic or not!Although the road ahead is difficult, I am willing to advance in a bloody battle and repeat the glory of the old Han!
"There is no one to hide the bones in the barren mound, and there is less smoke in the old country of Beiguan..."

Suddenly there was an old and hoarse singing voice in the banquet, it was Xun Sui from Yingchuan.He is the oldest person in the seat, and he spent most of his life in the north. He was forced to move his family to the south due to the war disaster, and now he is forced to flee to the east due to the war disaster. At this time, he sang this song "Difficult to Journey", and it was already unbearable. I couldn't help crying, thinking about the past, and the tone of voice gave people a sense of desolation and loneliness, making everyone who heard it cover their faces and sigh, and it was difficult to express their feelings.

In terms of current Yuefu poetry standards, Shen Zhezi's "The Road Is Difficult" can hardly be called a masterpiece.

One of the reasons why the current poetic style is so beautiful and tactful is that it is easy to match the tunes to the music, and most of the singers are women, and the lingering and sorrowful emotions can still be reflected, and it is difficult to fully express emotions that are too passionate with their vocal range.Wu Yin was so profligate that after the Nandu, the Jian'an poetic style disappeared.

But in terms of meaning and rhyme, Shen Zhezi's song is not about one person's misfortune, but about the downfall of the country's fate, and the extreme sadness turned into impassioned passion.In the current season when it is necessary to awaken people's righteousness and integrity, it can infect people enough.Therefore, as the elder Xun Sui's singing sounded, more and more people in the building joined in the singing, and soon it spread from this small island in the river to all sides.

"The road is difficult, the road is difficult! The bloody battle in China, reopen the Han Dynasty!"

Shen Zhezi made this work in response to the occasion, but he didn't have any ambition to get rid of the flashy and poetic style. After all, it is difficult for him to be called a master of the literary world at present.However, the charm of poetry is that even the poets themselves do not know whether they will hit some current disadvantages and arouse widespread resonance.But this did not prevent him from making the best use of the situation. When he heard the echoing voice from the river outside, he kept showing Yu Tiao with his eyes.

Yu Tiao has the most contact with Shen Zhezi, and he already has a tacit understanding in his heart. Seeing his eyes, he should have a clear understanding.He hurried downstairs, called a few attendants to give a few quick instructions, and then sent them out.

It didn't take long before the entire riverside chanted the song "The Road Is Difficult" with a masterful tone, and at first only the patrol soldiers arranged by Yu Tiao sang it.But it sounded over and over again, and more and more people joined in this impassioned chant.The male voice is vast and thick, it is difficult to describe the beauty of the rhyme, nor the beauty of etiquette and music, and even the rhythm is uneven, but when thousands of voices converge into a torrent, it is also breathtaking, spreading in all directions along the river.

Not far from the opposite side of the river is the camp of General Cheqi, Marquis Gao Ping, and Xi Jian, governor of Xuzhou.Compared with the prosperity of Jingkou on the opposite bank, the festive atmosphere here in Huaibei is much lower. In order to prevent the people from gathering together and causing troubles, Xi Jian even sent troops to deploy defenses along the river to prevent the people from approaching the river.

Because of the jealousy shown by the new Minister of Zhongshu, in order to avoid suspicion, Xi Jian withdrew many strongholds and soldiers patrolling the river that the Huaibei Army had deployed along the river.Of course, there is no lack of retaliation in this. After all, if there is no Huaibei Army to monitor Dajiang, the Liyang rebels may march eastward at any time.

Although Xi Jian also knew that Li Yang was rebelling now, it was difficult for him to defend himself.But in this eventful season, Zhongshu is so afraid of him, and he doesn't even call him across the river to see him, but he can't accept it.If he really wants to respond to Li Yang, how can Jingkou be safe!

In fact, Xi Jian's situation is a bit embarrassing now. He was expelled to Guangling by various overseas Chinese families in Jingkou in Jingkou in his early years.He temporarily endured this bad breath, and after crossing the river, relying on his old hope and connections, he quickly quelled the rebellion of Liu Xia's remaining tribe.Although there is still Guo Mo, who was placed by the former Zhongshu, as a constraint here, the overall situation in Huaibei can finally be maintained.

In fact, in Xi Jian's heart, there was always a thought, that is to cross the river and regain control of the situation in Jingkou.Jingkou is the rear of Huaibei. If he does not control Jingkou, no matter what kind of situation he manages in Huaibei, it will be a tree without roots. All rooms will be destroyed!

Moreover, being expelled from Jingkou to Huaibei Guangling back then was an indelible shame for Xi Jian.He also knows that the impact of his unauthorized crossing of the river can be great or small, especially when his predecessor, Zhong Shuhu, ignores all parties, it is even worse to be quiet than to move.Therefore, he just stayed in Guangling with peace of mind, hoping that there would be turmoil in Jingkou itself.

In the past few years, Jingkou has not only not been in chaos, but has even become more and more prosperous.On the contrary, Huaibei, which he himself guards, has closer ties with Jingkou.Although Xi Jian is the superior official of these people in name, the refugee marshal has his own way of life, and he can only advise and be vigilant about this, and cannot directly intervene.

Because of this, Xi Jian had to deepen contact with Wang Taibao, hoping to have a strong echo in Taichung.Otherwise, in the long run, he will be even more dispensable in Huaibei.

It was during such an agonizing wait that Xi Jian finally waited for the big change in the situation.Although there is no lack of regret for Liyang's rebellion, Xi Jian also knows that if Liyang does not rebel based on the political style of his predecessor Zhongshu, there will be chaos in other places, such as Huaibei, which he guards.Therefore, Xi Jian thinks more about Qin Wang's business. As for selfishness, he also hopes that he can represent the imperial court to impose a stronger restraint on the Huaibei refugee marshal.

However, what happened next changed so quickly that Xi Jian had no time to react, and then the situation before him appeared.Originally, the Xingtai was placed in Jingkou, and Xi Jian was also happy to see it succeed. After all, compared with other parties, Guangling was separated from Jingkou by a river, and he occupied an absolute geographical advantage.

However, this superficial geographical advantage has not been transformed into a concrete advantage.Although Xi Jian is supervising the military affairs of the five prefectures, he is the most respected at the moment, but the scope he can actually influence is still the area of ​​Huaibei in the past, and even Huaibei is looming out of control.

One of the most obvious manifestations is that when he convened a group of subordinates to discuss how to deal with the Huaibei Army in the future, nearly half of them were absent!Of course, these people have good reasons on the surface. Some have a deep old friendship with Su Jun so they want to avoid suspicion, some lack supplies and it is difficult to dispatch, and some want to guard the place to prevent Jiehu from looting.But in private, Xi Jian is sure that these affirmations are more or less communicated with the other side!
For these refugee commanders who hold powerful soldiers and guard the turbulent borderlands for a long time, crossing the river is the biggest temptation.Not to mention that Su Jun, who now controls the capital and shakes the world, and Xu Mao, who stayed on the other side of the river earlier and is now making a lot of money, and Liu Xia's former subordinates have already made these people envious.Now that the imperial court urgently needs to recruit people to counter the rebellion, it is a rare opportunity for these people.

If the situation in Huaibei could be fully controlled earlier, then Xi Jian could use these people's intention of crossing the river to test and persecute Jingkou Xingtai at this time, but now, these people have their own schemes, and private contact with the other side has exposed Huaibei's situation. Weaknesses.Xi Jian also deeply hated the subordinates who had their own ghosts.

But in fact, he has nothing to do about it. Just from his own title of military governor, it can be seen that the current forces in Huaibei are in chaos. Difficult to twist into a whole.When Liu Xia was alive earlier, he could only maintain this chaos and try to appease and balance all parties.Although Xi Jian has an old reputation, what he can get in exchange is only a superficial politeness.

Even if Xingtai is willing to pay enough price, these people are afraid that they will no longer maintain their superficial politeness, and there will definitely be no shortage of people who will rise up to replace him.

Therefore, even though he held a heavy army on the surface, Xi Jian did not dare to cross the river by force.And Xingtai is also worried that if others make noise, no one will be able to replace Xi Jian in a short time to stabilize the situation in Huaibei.Each other has their own scruples, and they can only be in such a stalemate for a while.

On the day of Shangsi, after the camp tour, Xi Jian was about to go back, but he faintly heard some movement from the opposite side, so he looked to the left and right and asked, "Can you hear any sounds from the other side of the river?"

Several other people listened for a moment and nodded, but the voice was too vague to hear clearly.

"Humble across the river to have a look."

General Li Hongyue came out to ask for instructions, and Xi Jian nodded slightly after hearing the words. Although he was still maintaining a estranged attitude, he was also very concerned about the situation on the other side of the river.

Li Hong led the crowd to the ferry to board the boat and headed for the other side of the river.Xi Jian stood by the river for a while, knowing that Li Hong would not come back for a while, so he went back to the camp to deal with military affairs.

It was not until late in the afternoon that Li Hong returned in a hurry, and described in detail the scene he saw on the other side of the river where people were celebrating and singing "The Road is Difficult". The so-called, when the country is in crisis, how can you still indulge the people here!"

After listening to it, Xi Jian was silent, sitting in front of the desk and writing down the song "Difficult to Journey".Although he has a celebrity style, he just uses it to blend into the atmosphere of Jiangdong. In fact, he is not keen on poetry and prose. Besides, this old Yuefu title is not a good work in his opinion. The words are too risky and the affection is too strong without restraint.

What moved his heart even more was Li Hong's detailed description of the gathering of old and young people on the other side of the river, celebrating the festival together, and the scene of tens of thousands of people singing this poem together.Close your eyes and think for a while, Xi Jian can feel the grandeur of the scene.And the meaning revealed behind this is unavoidably more thought-provoking.The Jingkou Xingtai has not yet been established, but the people are not affected by the military incident. This inevitably makes him think deeply about how the opposite side of the river can calm down the most difficult to appease.

After pondering for a long time, Xi Jian said, "Get ready, I want to cross the river."

"My lord has finally decided?" Hearing this, Li Hong thought that Xi Jian was determined to break the situation with martial arts, so his face also showed joy.

Xi Jian shook his head after hearing the words: "I don't need to bother my teacher, I can cross the river by myself."

Although they are only separated by a river, the existence of Jingkou has cut off his communication channels with the Gyeonggi Taibao and Wang Shu. Xi Jian actually does not have a keen and intuitive perception of the changes in the situation.Crossing the river this time is not necessarily to show any attitude, he hopes to deepen his understanding of the situation before making his own decision.
