Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 371
"Excuse me, is the son-in-law back?"

Outside a warehouse in Stone City, a well-dressed middle-aged man with a smile on his face said kindly to a soldier guarding outside the warehouse.

The soldier stood upright and replied without looking sideways: "I am ordered to guard the envoys, and the rest don't know."

When the middle-aged man heard this answer, his complexion couldn't help but sink slightly, just thinking of the current situation of himself and others, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only suppress it temporarily.

He tried his best to be gentle, looked at the young soldier and said: "The young man is the old guard who surrendered to the king? I don't know where your hometown is? My family has lived in Danyang for many generations, and relatives and old friends are all over the country. It is uncertain whether there is a relationship with each other. Ah! The tyranny of the rebel army has harmed my hometown, and it will be very difficult to reorganize the family business in the future, and we need the help of the villagers."

The soldier glanced at the eager middle-aged man, but his expression was quite cold: "The humble family belongs to Wuxing Great Wall, not Danyang Suwei."

"what?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, his face was a bit embarrassed. After a moment of astonishment, a smile appeared on his face again: "It turned out to be from the Great Wall. In the early years, an elder of my family used to be the Great Wall..."

The middle-aged man talked a lot, obviously trying to show his favor to the soldier, which is really weird nowadays.But what's even weirder is that the soldiers didn't look flattered at all by this overture, and were even lazy to respond.

The middle-aged man also discovered this problem. Originally, he was quite ashamed to accost the soldier by surrendering his status, but now the soldier's obvious perfunctory attitude made him even more angry.As a result, his face gradually darkened, and his tone was no longer polite: "Young man, do you know who I am? Do you know who are you trapped in this dilapidated warehouse?"

"Humble, I don't know, I'm just guarding this place according to the order of the army!"

The soldier replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"You...you don't know, so let those who know decide! I know you humble warriors are proud of your merits, and if you think that you belong to the son-in-law's command and creation, you will be mad, and you will see nothing else!"

When the middle-aged man talked about this, the expression of grief and indignation on his face could not be concealed, he pointed at the soldier and said sharply: "We are neither traitors nor enemy captives, but you are trapped by the stone and cannot return to the capital. ! What is your intention?"

The soldier straightened his chest and stood where he was, but turned his eyes to the other side, ignoring this person.

The middle-aged man was full of grievances and couldn't vent his anger. He stood outside the warehouse door and walked back and forth quickly. Every time he walked a little farther, a few soldiers in front of the warehouse would step forward and quietly surround him. This kind of silent vigilance especially made him feel humiliated. .

At this time, a young general hurried past surrounded by several soldiers.

When the middle-aged man saw the young general, his eyes flickered, he stepped forward and shouted from a distance: "But Xie Jia Erlang?"

Hearing this shout, the young general stopped and looked over. It was Xie Yi who stayed behind in Stone City.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Xie Yixing came over, looked at the middle-aged man with some confusion and said.

"I, I am Xiao Danyang Zhou Zheng, who worked under the post of Xie Shangshu in Zunfu in his early years."

The middle-aged man stood up straight, restrained his anger and said seriously: "It's good to see Erlang. Excuse me, Erlang, I don't know when I can return to the capital? We went out of the city to pay the army at Tao Gong's place a few days ago, but when we returned to the city, we were trapped. here."

"So, I know about this. Earlier, Yuzhou and Liyang were defeated one after another, and the remnants wandered around. In order to prevent these disorderly troops from fleeing to Gyeonggi and ruin the situation, we strictly investigated the past personnel and asked Mr. Zhou Forgive me."

Xie Yi replied with a smile.

The middle-aged man Zhou Zhengzheng looked bitter, and sighed: "Your Ministry is in charge of the capital, I know it. But Erlang, those warriors are humble and stupid, how can we have anything to do with the remnants of the rebel army! Besides, today There were Zhang Shangshu of Danyang, Yin Changshi, etc. who were all in the same company for a long time, but now they all..."

"Zhang Shangshu and others are here too? That's really impolite, but unfortunately I don't have time to pay a visit due to my duties. Please, Zhou Jun, tell you that you will come out later, and you must go to see him!"

Xie Yi's face was serious, and he said seriously.

"These are all small sections. I just want to ask Erlang, when will I be able to return to the capital?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. Although I'm not in charge of this matter, I know that the gentlemen have absolutely nothing to do with the rebels. I'll ask about it later. Please forgive me for being impolite. The son-in-law will lead his troops to Qu Ah Ping Luan, we have just been entrusted with a great job, and we are trembling for fear of making mistakes. There may be negligence for a while, and you are not polite, gentlemen, I am really afraid."

When Zhou Zheng heard Xie Yi say this, his complexion became a little better: "I understand what Erlang said. Both of us are state affairs, so there is no need to embarrass each other. Since Erlang has something to say, I will go back and tell Zhang Shangshu. Thank you. Erlang, please Erlang must remember this."

Xie Yi patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry Zhou Jun, as soon as there is news, I will send someone to report back immediately."

When Zhou heard this, he felt relieved, and told Xie Yi a few more words, and then hurried back to the warehouse behind him.

Xie Yi's face suddenly sank when the other party walked away, and he whispered to the guards: "There is a fence in front of the gate, and they are not allowed to come in and out at will! These fools dared to take advantage of the Jingzhou army to keep the troubled son-in-law. Really think that our Zhaowu army is easy to provoke! How can we be reconciled if we don't avenge this revenge!"

"As ordered!"

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately agreed, and after a while, a high wooden fence was erected around the barn.

After leaving this warehouse, Xie Yi hurried to where the Chinese army was located in the city.When he arrived, most of Shen Zhezi's generals who stayed in Stone City had gathered here.

"Why did Wu Yi come so late? Could it be that he got too drunk last night?"

A familiar young man stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you provoke me again, I will sever ties with you!"

Xie Yi turned around unnaturally, and a strong aroma was emitted from under his armor, but there was still a stubborn smell of wine in this aroma.

"It's not that I was greedy for drinking. It's just that when I came here just now, I was stopped by an old friend from Jiucang for a few words."

Hearing what Xie Yi said, several people in the arena immediately turned their heads to look at him with strange eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't say I would intercede for those idiots, I just chatted."

Xie Yi took a small step back and said a little unconfidently.

"Ha, that's the best! These people are driven here with ulterior motives and cannot be tolerated by Mr. Tao. They happen to fall into our hands, how can we let them go easily! It's best not to say a word to them, just look at their little bewitchment How can you succeed!"

"Yeah, Xie Erlang, don't go to the old warehouse if you have nothing to do. Those people offend the son-in-law and waste Tao Silang's face. Even if they are old, they are old friends from the previous generation. Nothing can surpass the friendship between me and me who live and die together! "

"I know this very well, why do you need to teach me?"

Xie Yi scolded with a smile, and then said: "Yes, what is the meeting today?"

"Marquis Shen has sent a message that the son-in-law has returned to the capital after victory, and ordered us to gather up the troops and organize our luggage. It should be sent for another purpose."

"The son-in-law won a big victory again? This is really... well, it's a pity that he can't join the army in the conquest."

Hearing the news, Xie Yi's face was filled with joy, and then he sighed with regret: "The son-in-law won the victory this time, there is no war around the capital, even if there is a need to send him, there should be no tough battle."

"Yes, after more than half a year of war, I finally found peace again. In the future, I will praise my achievements and rewards, and I can lie in the courtyard and invite friends to drink. It's a pleasure."

"I'm afraid I may not be able to be at ease. Just looking at Jiankang's dilapidated state, we can know how bad Jiangdong's soldiers are. We are also considered meritorious. We may be selected in the future. I wonder if you have any expectations?"

Although the chaos is about to be settled now, there are still many endings, and the platform has not yet returned to the capital, so it seems premature to talk about rewards and appointments.But most of these people on the field are from the old surnames of the north and the south, and the future is not lacking in smooth roads. Now that they have made great achievements, they are inevitably more calm and have much more room for choice.

For example, Kong Hun in Kuaiji, his family was quite powerful in Taichung. With this level of merit, after returning to the court or entering the Shangshu as a Langguan, within a few years, he should be able to add Sanqi or servants, or It is possible to serve as a minister of Cao Shangshu, or to rule a large county.The foreseeable future can already match Zhang Kai in Danyang today, and this feat is worth ten years of experience!

Therefore, it is not unrealistic and nonsense for everyone to gather together and imagine their future according to their own wishes and the suggestions of others.They don't have to rely on merit to have a way out, but having merit will undoubtedly give them more choices.

Both of them are young people, and they have no lack of imagination about the future. Now they are talking freely, and there are different opinions for a while, and the atmosphere is very enthusiastic.

"Wuyi, do you plan to ask for anything in the future? Your family has been passed down from generation to generation, and this time you have spared no expense, which is admirable. It must be hopeful!"

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, Xie Yi lowered his head and meditated, but it was a little eye-catching, so someone came up and said with a smile.

Although the Xie family is also a family with the old surname, Xie Yi's uncle is a well-known famous scholar in Jiangdong, and his father has served as a great minister, but in fact they are not considered important, their population is not thick, and their roots are not deep.Xie Yi is not as respected as his cousin Xie Shang, if he becomes an official, he may not be able to be a noble, but this time Xie Yi's efforts are obvious to all, if he has ambitions in the future, he will definitely be able to fulfill his wishes.

After Xie Yi heard the words, he laughed at himself: "What's wrong with my duties? I hope to be able to serve under the consort's command for a long time. Compared with the rest, the concubine is practical, methodical, and assisting the country to settle chaos. This is the real truth. The calmness and grace of the others are not enough!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes were full of brilliance. Regardless of what others thought, as far as they were concerned, they felt admiration for Shen Zhezi from the bottom of their hearts.They are the oldest people, and even if they have any family background, they are just juniors in the current situation.

But under the leadership of Shen Zhezi, this group of juniors managed to turn the situation around with a tiny effort, and made an astonishing feat!
"Yes, if there is a choice, I would also like to be ruled by the son-in-law. The world is foggy, ugly to the common eye, and it is wise to follow the wise choice. But the son-in-law is too young after all, and it will never be possible to take charge after the chaos aspect……"

"Hey, it's a pity that I'm not as lucky as Du Daohui. I heard that the son-in-law intends to send Daohui across the river to the north to prevent Jie slaves. Yuzhou is already disabled. If Daohui can cross the river and use it, although it is not lacking in danger, it will be dangerous. To be able to not be restrained, and to have a son-in-law to take care of me across the river, can be called a success!"

"Du Daohui is going to Jiangbei? When did it happen? Why did you choose him? Could it be that I can't even wait?"

When Xie Yi heard this, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and then dissatisfied.

"Wuyi, do you still plan to cross the river?"

"Others can pass, why can't I! Since I can establish a career immediately, how can I sit and share the merits! The beauty of the ancestral family is not exclusive. I can make achievements with hundreds of people, and I am going to let the Hulu know that Jiangdong is not empty!"
