Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 332

Even after leaving Qu'e on the road for a long time, Ji You's thoughts are still unclear, as if he was dreaming.His confidence in Shen Zhezi has been around for a long time, and he knows that Shen Zhezi always plans before acting and will not be willful, but the fact now is that these people, Shen Zhezi led more than a hundred tribes, plus him and a group of family members , a total of more than 200 people, actually going to recover Jiankang from the rebels!

Even though Ji You has always had great confidence in Shen Zhezi, no matter what he thinks, he feels that this matter is absurd, almost like a joke.When Jiankang fell earlier, there were tens of thousands of old guards and many celebrities in Taiwan, all of which were easily captured by Li Yang.He really couldn't imagine how these people would regain Jiankang and rescue the emperor based on their current situation.

But looking at Shen Zhezi's entourage, it seems that it is not as simple as a joke.Shen Zhezi's more than a hundred entourage, in addition to his family's elite trilogy Longxi soldiers, Xu Mao who had suddenly become famous because of his battle against Zhang Jian, Tao Hong, the grandson of Tao Kan who is now serving as the governor, and Zhongshu Yu Manzhi, the son of Yu Yi, the servant, and many children from the northern and southern families, such as Kong Hun, the son of Kong Tan in Kuaiji, Xie Yi, the son of Xie Yi, the former great minister, and so on.

The children of these families have either become famous or are still unknown.No matter how talented they are, every background is not simple. Since they came here with Shen Zhezi, they should have a certain degree of certainty about this matter, and it cannot be as simple as sending them to death.Thinking about it this way, Ji You's mood is much more stable.

The group proceeded cautiously without too many twists and turns along the way.Although Jiankang has been in the fall for a long time, and the area around Gyeonggi has been cleaned up many times, but if it is said that the water is completely impenetrable and the security has no loopholes, it is impossible to achieve it with the current manpower and technical conditions.

Shen Zhezi and the others waded through mountains and rivers, walking along secluded trails, occasionally encountering watchtowers and arrow towers built on high hills to monitor the surrounding area.These watchtowers are often built at the intersection of the four directions, and do not stand all over the mountains.Moreover, many buildings have been empty, and there are no soldiers stationed there.

It is also inevitable that the war has developed so far. Liyang has deployed troops to all sides, and all armies have been blocked. It is difficult for the formed army to approach Gyeonggi.Coupled with the shortage of manpower, it is better to retreat to the city to increase the city defense force than to deploy so many manpower scattered outside to do some useless warnings.

In the past few years, Shen Zhezi has often traveled to the suburbs of Beijing, and he is no stranger to the surrounding scenery.In just a few months, what I saw was completely changed. Many manors and other properties close to mountains and rivers were completely destroyed, large areas of mountains and forests were cut down, and the mountains were full of rocks left behind by mining. The large and small potholes left behind, and many completely decomposed corpses, no one picked up and threw them in the wilderness.

Most of the cottages near the outskirts of Beijing have been abandoned. Occasionally, some shacks where refugees gather can be seen among some inaccessible ravines. The people who live there are often old, weak, sick and disabled.

When approaching the Nanli Gate outside the capital, the security force on the road increased significantly. Not only were there fixed sentry camps along the road, but there were also many soldiers cruising on the road.

Shen Zhezi and the others temporarily lived in an abandoned manor away from the main road, and then ordered Liu Meng and a few nimble Longxi soldiers to find an opportunity to sneak into the city and contact the people who had been arranged in the capital earlier.

Now that it has gone deep into the enemy's rear, and even the central area of ​​the enemy-occupied area, although the children from various families who followed along the way are not lacking in shock, they are more novel and excited.

A group of people sat on the ground in the half-collapsed manor house with air leaks everywhere, took out the bread, biscuits and food they carried, and did not complain because of the simple conditions.Although he saw this scene many times during the trip, Ji You still couldn't help being curious, wondering what method Shen Zhezi used to make these Gaoliang disciples who were accustomed to rich clothes and fine food so obedient.

Although Ji You stayed in the enemy's rear, he did not suffer too much harsh treatment. Instead, he was protected as a role model of surrender, so he was quite surprised at the hard-working behavior shown by the children of these aristocratic families. I can't help but ask Shen Zhezi: "Wei Zhou's method of controlling the crowd is really admirable, why are these people willing to listen to it like this?"

Shen Zhezi couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, he himself is a big dandy, and naturally he has no lack of experience in how to deal with these people.Any extravagant character or habit of a person is a result of being used to it. In the final analysis, there is only one reason, which is not cleaned up.

If it were someone else, there might be nothing they could do to the children of these aristocratic families, but in front of Shen Zhezi, the background they relied on was not enough, and Shen Zhezi would naturally not be polite to them.Earlier in Dayeguan, it was just practice, practice to death, anyway, for him, these people are available or not, and they can stay or stay as they please.

Of course, Shen Zhezi also received some criticism at the beginning, such as being cold-tempered and treating old people harshly, and because of this, many children from other families could not bear the hardship and left with resentment, and Shen Zhezi did not want to stay.However, after Zhang Jian was defeated in the First World War, with the name of such a great victory, the original criticisms have also changed, and it has become a strict military management, which has won praises such as martial arts.

Because of this, more and more children from those aristocratic families came to join him, and even many who quit earlier were beaten by the elders in the family before being sent back to the army.

After all, the trend of mystery has not yet reached its peak. Among the many overseas Chinese families, there are only a few who are really dignified.More people still need to be brave and enterprising and create meritorious deeds in order to be effective.Such a major event as counter-insurgency is naturally a good opportunity to stand out.

Shen Zhezi's here, on the one hand, has an amazing record, and on the other hand, his own identity is here. It is obvious that there will be more opportunities to stand out if he takes refuge with him.Moreover, it is an indisputable fact that the Shen family is now in power, and Shen Zhezi is sure to be famous in the future. Not to mention the black-headed three men, even entering the court and ruling is a predictable future.It is a good political capital to invest in his subordinates to form a fellowship, even if there is no meritorious service.

So now Shen Zhezi's camp can be said to be a gathering place for the second generation. Shen Zhezi has always been willing to cast a shadow on others, so naturally he doesn't show any sympathy.In his army, the children of these aristocratic families, in addition to extremely high-intensity drills, even many chores done by civilian husbands have to be assigned to them.In the current atmosphere that is unanimously optimistic about him, if anyone can't bear the hardships in his camp and withdraws, it will be a sign of embarrassment, and it will be a kind of harm to the future political future.

If the infiltration into Jiankang can be accomplished this time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is the first contribution to the entire counter-insurgency war.If anyone comes with the team, it is really an extremely heavy favor of supporting and supporting, which can be used as a lifetime of political capital to show off.Therefore, when selecting the entourage, in addition to considering the role that these people's respective backgrounds can play, the main thing is the daily performance and the degree of intimacy of these people.

Needless to say, Tao Hong, Shen Zhezi mainly relied on him to obtain direct communication opportunities with Tao Kan of the Western Army.Yu Manzhi is Yu Yi's son, Jiankang was lost from the Yu family, and the Yu family's efforts to recover Jiankang will be very helpful for future arrangements.Kuaiji is the home base of the family, and bringing Kong Tan's son is also very helpful for the management of East Yangzhou.

Shen Zhezi's cousin, Shen Yun, is the son of his third uncle. Although he is still far away from becoming an official, it does not prevent him from coming to make some merit in advance.If it weren't for the fact that it was not easy to bring a baby boy, Shen Zhezi even thought about sending someone back to his hometown to bring his little brother Shen Jin with him, but that would be a bit too ugly.

The other dozen or so people were also from the northern and southern families who had a good relationship with the Shen family.Of course, these people also have a certain force value, so they won't be too slow.In other words, even if they died in the turmoil later, at least they could earn some honor, and their family members could not blame Shen Zhezi.

Among them, there is also a special one, that is Chen Jun Xie Yi.The Xie family had a Xie Kun earlier, so his family flaunted Xuanfeng as a whole, but politically it leaned more towards the Langya Wang family and other Qingxu families.Although his father, Xie Po, served as the great minister for a period of time, the whole family is still in decline. The Yuan family of Chenjun, the Ruan family of Chenliu, and the Chu family of Yangdi, etc., who are currently married, have either declined or have not yet risen. .

Shen Zhezi is willing to bring Xie Yi, besides selling Yu Tiao's face, another reason is Chu Jiye.Chu Jiye did him a great favor, and now his buttocks can be regarded as sitting upright, but since he was in Jingkou, it was inconvenient to call him, so he brought his brother-in-law with him.Moreover, Xie Yi performed well in the army. Although his personality was slightly irritable, he didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Shen Zhezi.

After leaving the barracks, there was no such strict restraint of superior-subordinate relations, and the atmosphere among the people was considered harmonious. They sat around to discuss the current situation.Although they were full of confidence and followed Shen Zhezi all the way to the suburbs of Beijing, they actually didn't know much about Shen Zhezi's specific plan.Earlier, it was because Shen Zhezi ordered not to ask too many questions, but now that they are outside the capital, everyone is curious about what Shen Zhezi is thinking.

When someone asked about this matter, Shen Zhezi smiled and said: "Although I have a lot of plans in mind, after all, the situation in Duzhong has been too chaotic recently, so I have to contact the people in Duzhong first to learn about the latest situation in Duzhong. , so we can make further progress."

Although the answer was still irrelevant, everyone felt a little relieved when they heard that Shen Zhezi still had arrangements in the capital.After all, Shen Zhezi's previous big victory was the foreshadowing, and now they are also in danger together. If he is not sure, Shen Zhezi will not bring them to the dangerous place.

"Yun Rao, you go to be in charge of security. After Liu Wei and the others come back, they will come here immediately."

All the way, eating and sleeping in the open, and going out at night, everyone was really exhausted, so Shen Zhezi assigned his cousin Shen Yun to be in charge of guarding.

When Shen Yun heard this, his face collapsed. He was young among the crowd, lacked in physical strength, and was extremely tired.But since the Lord gave the order, he didn't dare to disobey the order, so he could only get up and go out.

Xie Yi patted the crumbs on his body and stood up and said, "I will go with Wulang."

Seeing Shen Yun's sad face, Shen Zhezi's heart was full of evil pleasure. This kid is too cheap. In the early years, he was absent from family studies at home. It was this kid who gave a small report, and he was reprimanded by his third uncle.How can I miss the opportunity to rectify him now.Besides, he didn't expect Shen Yun to go into battle to kill the enemy, and he would get more points if he worked harder in the future.
