Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 321 Abundant Talents
People are always used to consider issues from their own cognition and experience, and Shen Zhezi is no exception.He may be sensitive to the situation and have the ability to understand people's hearts, but family fighting is an unfamiliar field for him.

Although the Shen family is also a big family in Wuzhong, Shen Zhezi himself is the eldest son of the main line, and he has an undisputed inheritance right, and his father has complete trust in him.Although he was criticized for managing family affairs in his early years because of his age, but with the support of his father, he would rather divide the clan than allow the constraints within the clan.As for now, he has developed all the tools of fame, and this is an opportunity to prevent the Shen family from rising, and no clansman will come out to divide his powers and create divisions.

Once I understood this point, many doubts were easily resolved, such as why the envoy from Jingzhou showed signs of being closer to Wang Shuyou.Shen Zhezi didn't underestimate the current Wang family, but in fact, Wang Shu really didn't have the qualifications to recruit Tao Kan at the moment, and Tao Kan didn't need to use the Wang family to achieve any political demands at all.So Shen Zhezi was quite surprised when he saw the envoy from Jingzhou arriving at Jingkou with Wang Yunzhi.

Thinking about it now, the reason for such a sign is probably not Tao Kan's intention, but a private decision of one of his sons, who wanted to obtain Tao Kan's succession to his title and office, so he asked the Langya Wang family for help. .To be honest, this kind of behavior is really stupid and unreasonable, and it almost makes me make a wrong judgment.

Originally, Yu Yi and the others had reservations about Jingzhou because of the weird attitude of the Jingzhou envoy, and they didn't even intend to give Tao Kan the power to control the internal and external military forces.It was only at Shen Zhezi's insistence that he was given the post of governor, but the originally agreed title of Taiwei was deleted.

Although he felt Tao Xia's audacity, as an outsider, Shen Zhezi really couldn't criticize Tao Hong in front of him.Originally, Shen Zhezi didn't intend to interfere with other people's family affairs, but now that Tao Hong was forced by family pressure to ask him, Shen Zhezi really couldn't ignore it.

After pondering for a while, Shen Zhezi nodded: "Nowadays when both inside and outside are employing people, my brother is willing to temporarily serve the country in grief, so how can I refuse. Wronged brother is serving as a military adviser in our army, and I will reward you for success in the future discuss."

Hearing this, Tao Hong's gloomy face was slightly relieved, he got up and thanked him: "Thank you Wei Zhou for your kind help."

After a pause, he said again: "I am waiting for a party to leave in March. Jiangling is already a long way from here. When it was near Jingkou, Xiao Xu detained him, so it was too late."

At this point, it is very clear that Jingzhou's late arrival is not Tao Kan's problem, but someone's selfishness.Now that Tao Kan is still alive, he has acted so indulgently, causing the center to be jealous of Jingzhou. It is no wonder that the tragedy of his brothers' quarrel occurred shortly after Tao Kan's death.

Shen Zhezi first accompanied Tao Hong to the Xingtai Guarding Army Mansion to go through the appointment procedures and agree on a departure date, then hurriedly went to see Yu Yi and told him this new discovery.

After learning the inside story of Jingzhou, Yu Yi was really dumbfounded, and couldn't help but sighed: "Mr. Tao, the elder and important minister of the country, it's really true that he accidentally confuses the family affairs with the public at a critical time... oh, that's all, other people's family affairs It's hard to say. As long as Mr. Tao doesn't hesitate, it's best not to cause any harm."

Speaking of this, he murmured again: "Since that Tao Xiamin is in charge of the family, it's better not to ignore his urgent thoughts. Since this is the end of the mission, you might as well stay on the platform for a while and add casual riders. With this restraint, it shouldn't be too late. Make another handicap."

Shen Zhezi nodded after hearing the words, not only Yu Yi earlier, but even his attitude towards Jingzhou had reservations.Now that the reward has been made public, it is not easy to change it, and respecting his son to make a little remedy is an affirmation of Tao Kan.Based on the wisdom of old history, one should understand why such twists and turns occurred.If there is a mistake in the Xingtai center, it will be corrected immediately, which is the emphasis on Tao Kan.In this way, on the contrary, it highlights Wang Shu's behavior of using Tao Kan's son to alienate each other for selfishness.

In the next few days, some people from all over the place stayed on the platform to escort them, while others returned to their respective posts to prepare for the incident.Now that Xingtai has been established, various administrative and military regulations have been established, so there is no need to be as cautious as before.Xi Jian, who had been isolated for a long time, was finally called into the Xingtai, and was reinstated as Shangshu Commander and Superintendent of the North and South Military Gongwei Xingtai.

Although Tao Kan served as the governor to dispatch the internal and external armies, it could offset Wang Shu's constraints in Wuzhong to a certain extent.But after all, the distance from east to west is too long, and it is difficult to convey military orders in time.In order to ensure the stability of Jingkou Xingtai and Wuzhong, Xingtai could only add thousands of troops to Wang Shu and allow him to stick to Wujun.

In mid-April, Shen Zhezi also led his army to leave Xingtai and head for Daye Pass.One of the Dongyang troops brought by Dad was under his command, while the other stayed in Xingtai and was directly under the direct control of the Hujun Mansion to ensure Yu Yi's right to speak.

Now Shen Zhezi is also an envoy of one party, and there are many generals under his command, such as Guo Song, Xu Mao and other veteran generals who have experienced battles, as well as his family's Shen Mo, Shen Mu and other brave clansmen, all of which are under his control now.This is also the advantage of the children of the aristocratic family becoming an official. They have family resources to rely on, and once they have a high starting point for work.Children from poor families have struggled for half their lives, and the heights they can achieve are not even as high as Shen Zhezi's starting point.

Even if he is the beneficiary, Shen Zhezi can't help but click his tongue at such an unfair phenomenon.It is true that he himself is special, and other gentry children do not have such strong capital as him, but even if the gap is doubled, if it becomes the norm in the whole society, the harm will still be serious.

Although he was the commander-in-chief, Shen Zhezi also knew that military strategy was not his forte, so he gave the clan uncle Shen Mo, Xu Mao and others the marching supervision, and left the specific affairs to others.Like Tao Hong who was in his army, Yu Manzhi, the son of Yu Yi, and several other children, although Shen Zhezi brought people here, he asked them not to seek meritorious service, but to have no faults, and not to interfere. Just go to normal military affairs.

More than [-] people marched in a mighty manner. Although Shen Zhezi was not good at military, he quickly discovered the shortcomings of Dongyang's army.

As the long-awaited junior soldier of the Wuzhong family, the Dongyang Army's luxurious equipment is among the best in both the north and the south. It can be said that it is the best collection of Wuzhong.

The basic equipment is a set of full body armor, a set of half body leather armor, ring swords, long spears, throwing spears, infantry bows, and various miscellaneous ordnance.The most basic soldier, this whole set of ordnance weighs several hundred catties.As for officers above the rank of lieutenant, their armaments are even better.It's no wonder that the selection of soldiers should be based on the best of the best. Wearing such a heavy piece of equipment on the body, the physique is not strong, and standing is a problem, let alone combat effectiveness.

Such extravagant equipment, even in Wuzhong, is difficult to equip on a large scale. Now the more than [-] Dongyang Army has reached a limit of endurance.This is because since the establishment of the business alliance, Wuzhong has benefited greatly from it. With the previous material resources, it would be difficult to afford such a luxurious investment.

The equipment is well-equipped to burn the bag, and the inconvenience caused by this is a significant reduction in mobility.It is naturally impossible to be fully armed for a long-distance march, and the transportation of ordnance alone is a headache.When Shen Zhezi started with 3000 people, he was equipped with nearly 5000 civilian men, and the ox carts and carriages were even more difficult to count, so that the march was not delayed.If such an army moves to fight in the world, even if the combat power is sufficient, the supply and transportation capacity will not be able to reach it.

However, this is not to blame for the enthusiasm of the villagers. In fact, the main purpose of the Dongyang Army at the beginning of its establishment was to guard the Wuzhong countryside.Wuzhong's water network is densely covered, and it has been continuously dredged and repaired every year for these years. The convenience of water transportation can greatly improve mobility without affecting combat effectiveness.

Two days later, Shen Zhezi led the army to Daye Pass.His task is to hold on to the Daye Pass, to ensure that the front of Jingkou is not invaded by the enemy, first to protect the Xiong Pass, and then wait for the military order to enter.

Not to mention Daye Pass itself's complete defense and geographical advantages, the original defenders plus Shen Zhezi's reinforcements already number [-], and the supply road in the rear is unimpeded. It can be said that it is the most stable position in the battle.Because of this, every family in Jingkou who wanted their children to make some meritorious deeds also stuffed them into Shen Zhe's army.However, Shen Zhezi's plan is to always find time to kill one or two people, so that these people realize the seriousness of the war.

Guo Song and other guards went out to greet them. When they saw the excellent equipment of Dongyang Army, their eyeballs could not help but protrude, and they called it a waste.For those of them who are struggling to maintain the situation in the Northland, such sophisticated armaments are a luxury that cannot be imagined in their dreams.Whoever has such a batch of military funds in his hands, if he can't pull out a team of tens of thousands of people, it is considered that this person's leadership is extremely poor.But now these armaments are only armed with one army, and in their view, they are naturally wasteful.

Wu people have been sleepy for a long time, but Chad is relaxed. This kind of emotional venting is really inhumane.Even if there is another army in Wuzhong in the future, it is absolutely impossible to meet the standards of Dongyang Army.

For more than a month, Daye Pass not only resisted Zhang Jian's offensive, but also maintained construction in the rear.Up to now, the scale is not inferior to ordinary cities, with towering walls and huge space inside, and some auxiliary fortresses have been built around it.After the Dongyang army settled in, with the accompanying civilian husbands, the space is not cramped.

To build such a grand pass, Shen Zhezi's subconscious is also increasing the importance of Jingkou in the current situation.At present, when one's own influence is not enough to penetrate into several powerful military states to the west, it is also a better choice to increase the strategic importance of Jingkou.

After entering the pass and resting for a while, Shen Zhezi and the generals climbed up the pass wall to look at the enemy's formation.Guo Song and others deserved to be good generals. While occupying favorable terrain, they did not blindly hide and defend.Before Shen Zhezi left, Zhang Jian was already urging the people to prepare to build a pass to confront Daye Pass for a long time.

But until Shen Zhezi came back, the opposite pass had not yet been built, because Guo Song and the others kept harassing and attacking the enemy.This is the usual way of dispatching the Wubi in the North, using the Wubi as a stronghold to protrude out frequently, or rushing in small groups, or rushing to the camp at night.It is not only used for tired troops, but also can attack the enemy's supplies, preventing them from being besieged for a long time.

Today, within a few miles of the two passes, there are earth, stone, debris, and broken limbs lying everywhere.The camp on the opposite side was always too tall, and it couldn't provide enough protection.Farther away is Zhang Jianbu's tent, which is located on a high slope with a wide view.

With the addition of new forces and such a well-equipped strong army, Guo Song and others, including the later leaders, gradually could not be satisfied with sticking to it, and hoped to be more aggressive, preferably to repel Zhang Jian. In order to ensure the radiation power to counties and counties outside the Guan.
