Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 358
After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he laughed, taking a panoramic view of everyone's faces, and his eyes fell on Yu Bing, who was also present today.

After pondering for a while, Yu Bing said: "Li Yang is tyrannical, so don't underestimate the enemy. To tell you the truth, this trip to the platform to gather people to help is also hasty. The thousands of boat divisions look like a large number of people, but in fact their military strength is still weak. Hastily forming an army, we can't Fight lightly!"

This is to say that the thousands of reinforcements are just a bluff, and they will be exposed once the war starts.After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.In the past few days, they have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of reinforcements to divide up Shen Zhezi's affairs and power. To break the current rhetoric, they never expected that the reinforcements they had been looking forward to for a long time turned out to be just a superficial bastard!
However, everyone's patience with Shen Zhezi has reached a critical point. Although Yu Bing had already expressed his position, after a moment of silence, someone said again: "The two armies are fighting against each other. The situation of the battle. The rebels don't know what the situation of the reinforcements is like. Just like the son-in-law's surprise troops broke into the capital earlier, the secret of victory lies in the fact that it is difficult to distinguish between reality and reality, and it is just to attack them unprepared. Taking advantage of their panic, a war may not be impossible!"

Probably because he felt that his performance was too eager and obvious, the man added: "Military strategy is not my specialty, how to fight is still up to the son-in-law to decide on his own."

However, as soon as his words fell, several people in the banquet echoed, all using words to force Shen Zhezi to fight.It's just that the words are too ambiguous, and they don't completely offend Shen Zhezi with the words. Even if Shen Zhezi loses in the battle, they still have room to shirk responsibility.

Although Shen Zhezi sneered in his heart, he said solemnly: "The last general dared to enter the capital lightly the day before yesterday, so how could he avoid the battle today? But right now, there is still a concern. Now there are many newly attached troops in the capital, and his mind is undecided." , if the decisive battle begins, there will be chaos in the end for those who are worried or have ulterior motives. Regardless of the battle ahead, if His Majesty is disturbed, victory will be lost!"

After a pause, without waiting for everyone to speak, Shen Zhezi said again: "There will be a battle in the future, but before that, we must ensure that His Majesty the Emperor is safe and sound. So I ask you to defend His Majesty the Emperor temporarily to Fuzhou Mountain. There will be no more worries, so I will fight against the rebels under the stone, and I will never die!"

When everyone heard this resolute words, they all trembled in their hearts.Many people showed joy on their faces. Now they are trapped most deeply by being oppressed and controlled by Shen Zhezi, and the second is not being able to get close to the emperor.If this arrangement was really to be made, both problems would be resolved, and even if Shen Zhezi was defeated, they would still be able to support the emperor and retreat calmly.

However, just as they agreed, there were successive voices of opposition in the banquet.

"No way!"

"My son-in-law, don't be impulsive!"

Those who opposed each had their own considerations, some were worried about Shen Zhezi, some were worried about the emperor, and some were considering the whole.

Among these objections, Director Wang was the most resolute.In the eyes of others, Shen Zhezi's desire for a decisive battle is either young and energetic and unbearable, or he is too self-confident and eager to win.But Director Wang knew more about the inside story. He knew that someone was making fun of the fate of the country and wanted to put Shen Zhezi to death!

Although he has gradually become unable to understand what this young man is thinking, Director Wang can be sure of one thing, this young man is by no means the kind of person who just wants to be perfect and accept everything.With such a decision this time, it may not be because they really intend to fight the rebels to the death, but it is more likely to go along with the flow and trick the emperor and his officials out of the city, abandon the city and flee!
If such a thing really happened, Director Wang couldn't imagine what the situation in Jiangdong would be like in the future.Now the empress dowager and the emperor are under his control, and even the courtiers are not allowed to be free. If they leave Jiankang, the already clear counter-insurgency situation will suddenly turn sharply downward!

Director Wang had no time to think about how Wang Bin would do such a stupid thing. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that now that the Yu family was relying on the Shen family, how could they be separated by such a clumsy scheme!Doing so is just being a villain in vain, and there will be no substantial gains. On the contrary, due to Jiankang's current special situation, it is very likely that the situation will get out of control.

Seeing that there are many people in the banquet who have not yet realized the seriousness of the situation, they clamored for Shen Zhezi to go out of the city for a decisive battle, as if they would get some benefit by doing so.Because the distance between each other is not too close, Director Wang couldn't see the specific expression change on Shen Zhezi's face, but from his tone, he could already deduce that this son should have become angry, and he might even regard the scene in front of him as his contact with Shen Zhezi. The people persecuted him.

Director Wang is not lacking in vigilance towards the Shen family, but he knows where the bottom line should be set.It is true that defeating the defenders of Stone City is the most urgent task of defending Jiankang City, but this can be handed over to the various kings who came later.In all fairness, Shen Zhezi has done an excellent job in keeping Jiankang under such difficult conditions.Forcing him to leave the city for a decisive battle would actually destroy the current stability.

"The Son of Heaven should live in the main room of the Ming Hall, and he should not move lightly! Especially now that the military disaster is still unsolved, how can the Emperor be separated from the royal court just because of a moment of urgency!"

When everyone heard Director Wang's words, they couldn't help being a little surprised. They felt that forcing Shen Zhezi out of the city to fight was not all for themselves.If Shen Zhezi left Taicheng, Director Wang would naturally become No. 1 before the emperor. Why would Director Wang refuse such an obvious benefit?Could it be that he was trapped for too long and the pain of losing his son made the Tai Bao lose his judgment on the current situation?
Shen Zhezi naturally understood why Director Wang objected, but he did not intend to calm down. After hearing the words, he said solemnly: "The younger generation came to the capital as King Qin. If it is not forced, how dare you disturb the emperor! As you all said, rebellion The army doesn't know the details of the reinforcements, but if they still don't give up on Gyeonggi, they will definitely launch a strong attack while the new reinforcements are still uncertain. A battle in the future should be inevitable. The younger generation dare not take chances, and all the troops will go to the battlefield at that time , may not be able to spare the energy to defend His Majesty the Emperor and the princes."

"Yeah, since this battle is inevitable, why not strike first!"

This point in the discussion of the topic really surprised everyone. They thought they had benefited from Wang Zhi's objection, but Shen Zhezi had a strong fighting spirit.Although it felt a bit weird, it didn't prevent them from advancing according to their own ideas, and they all spoke in agreement with Shen Zhezi.

Sitting at the table, Director Wang felt really mixed feelings.This son-in-law should have suspected himself, and he doesn't intend to stick to the Taiyuan to protect this group of people who have tigers and wolves in their hearts.

He really wanted to remind this group of people that even if the emperor was transferred to Fuzhou Mountain, Shen Zhezi's troops would still be responsible for protecting them. How would that be any different from being in Taicheng?At that time, if Shen Zhezi used the excuse that the war was unfavorable and threatened Jun to retreat, what reason and ability would they have to stop it?At that time, let's not talk about the problem of face. If the opponent in the chaotic army finds someone disliked, he will definitely kill him once and never need a second blow!

The emperor must not be allowed to leave Taicheng!The hard-won order in front of you must not be destroyed!

Director Wang had this thought in mind, and pondered for a long time in the banquet, before slowly opening his mouth and saying: "King protects the king diligently, and all ministers have this responsibility, how can we be strict with the governor alone! If the rebels attack on a large scale in the future and the army is short, You might as well move the officials out of Taiyuan to reduce the pressure on the guards in Taichung, but the governor must guard Taiyuan so that His Majesty the Emperor will be safe and secure!"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall was completely silent, and everyone looked at Director Wang in surprise. They did not expect that such a vicious strategy of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot would come from Director Wang!If the rebels really attack on a large scale, the whole city will be turned into scorched earth, and if they are driven out of Taicheng, it will be death without life!

Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Director Wang couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. He has always adhered to the principle of lenient punishment and simple administration.But now, in order to stabilize Shen Zhezi, he can only say this, in order to calm down the resentment in Shen Zhezi's heart, and don't be too angry to take the emperor away, abandon the city and flee.

Seeing Wang Dao's slightly desolate expression, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.Wang Dao would rather hurt his own hope and gather public grievances on himself than dare to take the risk of letting the emperor leave Taicheng.Looking into his heart, he or they Wu people are no different from Su Jun in Wang Dao's mind, they are the source of disaster, and they may even be more vigilant towards Wu people than Su Jun and other refugees.

What people really think is always revealed subconsciously at critical moments.There is nothing wrong with smart people, nothing wrong with stupid people, the most terrible thing is to pretend to be confused while pretending to understand.Director Wang used to give people the impression of being friendly, and even learned Wu dialect in order to win over the Wu people, but in fact, after thinking about it, he was always vigilant towards the Wu people.

Shen Zhezi didn't mind this, he never thought of creating an atmosphere of sincere cooperation with Director Wang, and since the other party took the initiative to hand over the handle, he had no reason to waste it.So after pondering for a while, he stood up and said: "This matter is of great importance, and it is difficult for this junior to decide alone, so I have to discuss it with the generals. Please wait a moment with the Tai Bao and all the gentlemen. When a decision is made, this junior will Let me tell you guys."

Seeing Shen Zhezi leaving the table in a hurry, everyone couldn't help being even more dumbfounded. Is this going to follow the trend and agree?Is this to drive them out of Taicheng?Thinking of Shen Zhezi's harsh treatment of them recently, many people are already sitting on pins and needles, and cold sweat can't help but flow down.

Thinking of the tragic end that they and others may face, many people looked at Director Wang with a little unkindness.Some people couldn't help but shouted: "If the battle is tight in the future, we should defend the king and go to life and death together, so that we can live alone! The Taibao's suggestion is really ill-considered. If the Emperor's Majesty's eyes disappear, the loyal It’s hard to find, and there are only a group of warriors left, what a sad situation!”

These words seemed to be a clarion call to attack. Those in the palace who were worried about being expelled all spoke out to criticize Director Wang. In their opinion, this gentleman really lost his head, and even made such a nonsense suggestion!And the most terrible thing is that they may lose their lives because of Wang Dao's sudden insanity!

Director Wang didn't make much defense, but just drooped his eyelids in the banquet as if he was in meditation, and turned a deaf ear to all the noise around him.

As time passed, everyone became more and more uneasy. Some people couldn't help getting up and walking to the front of the hall, but suddenly found that the number of soldiers guarding outside the hall had more than doubled compared to before. After thinking about it for a while, they felt dizzy!
　The third is more likely to be late. I will eat some food first and rush out around the early morning. . .
