Chapter 380 Return to Tainan
In August, Wen Qiao, governor of Jiangzhou, led his troops northward and stationed in Xiaodanyang.

After Shen Zhezi heard the news, he went out of the city with Yu Tiao and Yu Bing to meet him.

Compared with the strength of the Jingzhou army, the Jiangzhou army is a little weaker. This time, only 3000 people entered the capital with Wenqiao.But this does not mean that the Jiangzhou army is weak. In the past, Jiangzhou was positioned as the prime minister of Jingzhou, but it also had a restraining effect.

Jiangzhou was originally established by dividing parts of Jingzhou and Yangzhou. When the confrontation between the North and the South was tense and a war of overthrowing the country was about to break out, Jiangzhou was Jingzhou's supplement and backup.But when the situation is stable, Jiangzhou acts as a balance point and a buffer to regulate the upstream and downstream relationship between Jingyang and Jingyang.

Especially in the later period of Yu Liang's administration, Jiangzhou was the only town he could exert influence on. Therefore, Jiangzhou's military strength during this period was extremely strong, not even inferior to Jingzhou.The Jiangzhou headquarters has nearly 5 troops, and there are more than [-] barbarian followers, plus more than [-] county soldiers with less combat effectiveness.At the beginning of the Liyang Rebellion, Wen Qiao urgently recruited Liang's family into the army, and Jiangzhou's military strength reached its peak at nearly [-] people.

Of course, judging from the superficial figures alone, the [-] Jingzhou army is still far superior to Jiangzhou.However, Jingzhou also has many foreign aggressions, and it is necessary to guard against all parties. The military force that can really participate in the war in Jiangdong is not more than that of Jiangzhou Army.It is precisely because of such a huge military force that Wen Qiao was able to contain the main force in Liyang and prevent the war from developing in a worse direction when Su Jun came back and Tao Kan had not decided to join the counter-insurgency.

Shen Zhezi was able to make plans in Jingkou, and even complete the goal of dividing Yangzhou, precisely because the Jiangzhou Army spared no effort in the battle at the beginning of the war.Therefore, no matter in public or private, Shen Zhezi was full of respect and gratitude to Wen Qiao.

Especially at present, although Tao Kan has entered the capital, he is still at a stalemate with Director Wang on certain conditions, and the date for welcoming Xingtai's return to the capital has not yet been decided.Wen Qiao is going north at this time, and his opinion will play a decisive role.

Although Wen Qiao led a small number of troops in the capital this time, the battle was over, and the next important thing was the political contest, and the number of troops was not important.Moreover, the power that Wen Qiao can use around Gyeonggi is not limited to the [-] subordinates under his command. Wang Qianqi, Mao Bao and others who are still active near Liyang in Jiangbei are all members of the Jiangzhou tribe. If necessary, they can Come across the south of the Yangtze River.

After Tao Kan entered the capital, although Shen Zhezi's many military powers were relieved, the most important defense of Taicheng was still in his hands.With the assistance of the Jiangzhou Army and internal and external echoes, even if it rises to armed confrontation, they still have enough strength to counter the Jingzhou Army.

After entering the Jiangzhou military camp, Shen Zhezi and others were quickly led to Wen Qiao's Chinese army camp.As soon as he entered the tent, there was a strong smell of soup and medicine.After smelling this smell, the faces of Shen Zhezi and others changed, and Yu Bing was even more surprised: "Could it be that Duke Wen was injured in the battle? Is it serious?"

It was related to Wen Qiao's health and safety, so Yu Bing couldn't help being nervous.The Yu family is still in a delicate situation in the current situation. Although they have reached an alliance with the Shen family and other Wuzhong families, the Wuzhong people also have selfish intentions. The signs of testing.

Wen Qiao and Yu Liang have always been friendly, and Jiangzhou was also a party town that Yu Liang had operated for a long time when he was alive.Yu Bing has always been deeply influenced by his elder brother, so he naturally regards Wen Qiao as his family's strongest ally and reliance in the future.If Wen Qiao's health is in danger and cannot provide enough protection, then the future of the Yu family is really uncertain.

There were not many soldiers in the tent, and no one answered Yu Bing's question. After they were seated, they waited for a while before a few soldiers brought a couch from behind the tent, on which Wen Qiao was leaning.His face was sickly, he looked a bit haggard, and his whole body was so thin that he was almost out of shape, which was very different from his previous appearance.

Seeing this scene, the brothers of the Yu family hurriedly stood up to meet him: "How could Duke Wen do this?"

Shen Zhezi also stood up and stood behind Yu Bing.He naturally knew why Wen Qiao looked so ill. He had no confidence in the medical level of this era, especially a serious illness like stroke that would be difficult to cure in later generations.Although he had asked Ge Hong for help in diagnosis and treatment earlier, but in fact, the string in his heart has not been relaxed, lest he suddenly hear the news of Wen Qiao's sudden death.

At this moment, Shen Zhezi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wen Qiao's eyes were still hale and hearty despite his dire situation, as if he didn't seem to be dying soon.It seems that what should have happened happened, but the previous efforts were not in vain. Although Wen Qiao had a stroke, but fortunately his life was safe, and he was able to control the army to calmly arrange and kill Su Jun's remnants. Great luck.

Wen Qiao leaned on the couch, and had to be supported to sit up. With a difficult smile on his thin face, he said to the brothers of the Yu family: "At last, there is no reason, because this crippled body and evil disease have harmed state affairs. No, I didn't live up to the great trust of the late emperor and Zhongshu..."

As he said that, his eyes turned to Shen Zhezi, his eyes became more joyful and grateful, and he seemed to be planning to raise his hand as a signal, but his strength was a little lacking, so he finally just nodded to Shen Zhezi.The outbreak of his illness was dangerous, and he knew very well that if Shen Zhezi hadn't gained insight earlier and Ge Hong's moxibustion treatment, his life would have been difficult to save.

Shen Zhezi couldn't help sighing inwardly when he heard that Wen Qiao's speech was a bit stammering and not very fluent.Later generations commented that Wen Qiao was a first-class figure in the Jin Dynasty. Even if he was not in terms of merit, this gentleman knew that he was suffering from a serious disease, but he still worked tirelessly. , but that kind of calm and sincere state of mind is also difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

"Why is Duke Wen so seriously ill, can you ask a good doctor for diagnosis?"

Not long after Yu Bing sat down, he asked impatiently again, showing that his mind was in a mess.Yu Tiao turned around and gave Yu Bing a glance, implying that he should stop talking.Although the old friendship between the two families is good, and it is reasonable to care and ask, but Yu Bing's tone will inevitably make people have many bad associations.

Wen Qiao smiled, but didn't take it seriously, but didn't answer Yu Bing's question, but said in a deep voice, "Where is A Gong?"

Ah Gong is the nickname of Yu Bin, Yu Liang's eldest son. When they meet each other, Wen Qiao doesn't ask other questions, but only asks about this matter, which shows the sincerity of their friendship with Yu Liang.

Yu Tiao leaned forward and said in a respectful voice: "This child is lucky. He was visiting relatives at his wife's house when the city was broken at the beginning of the year. He avoided the war disaster and has now returned to the capital."

Hearing this, Wen Qiao's face softened, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, tears flickered in his eyes, and he sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity... I have a negative rule in the end, if I can go to meet you in person that day ,not necessarily……"

After hearing the words, Yu Tiao quickly said: "Mr. Wen must blame himself for his duties. When chaos suddenly arises, people are lacking in wisdom. It is not a pity for the elder brother to die in the country. The sky is endless, loyalty and righteousness are all up, and the chaos is right. The elder brother has something to do with the spring." Hearing it is also enough to express one's feelings."

Probably due to the serious illness, Fang's energy was low and his thoughts were blocked. Wen Qiao spoke very slowly, and just listened to Yu Tiao's latest situation in the capital with a calm face.The eyes turned to Shen Zhezi occasionally, but it was a bit complicated.The current chaos has developed to this stage, and the situation has evolved to the present, to be honest, it is really beyond his expectations.

Wen Qiao himself is not a typical overseas Chinese from the south, and he doesn't have much resistance to the sudden rise of Wu people.However, thinking about Shen Zhezi's many actions in this chaos, it really made him feel amazing.

With Su Jun's death, the situation gradually became clearer, and the interest demands of all parties gradually surfaced.

In terms of Gyeonggi, the wishes of Wang Dao, Zhong Ya, Liu Chao and other Taiwan officials are very simple, that is, since the war has been settled, Xingtai should be abolished as soon as possible, and the empress dowager and King Langya should return to the capital, and then talk other.Although Shen Zhezi did not make a clear statement, his will was the same.

However, there was a problem with the Xingtai in Jingkou. A chaotic incident that lasted half a year. Although the Xingtai only occupied a legal position and did not have much actual authority, with the running-in of each other, it has actually formed Some imperceptible rules, surrounding this rule are enough to build up groups of vested interests.

Jingkou, as a place where overseas Chinese live together, is also where many unsuccessful overseas Chinese with old surnames live. It is the first time for them to have such an opportunity to be so close to the center of the legal system. Naturally, they do not want to give up in vain. Human nature.

Although there are Yinjue and Shangmeng in Jingkou that can contact each other, this is only an economic cooperation, and it is not enough to rise to a common political advancement.As early as when he was planning to divide Yangzhou, Shen Zhezi was aware of this problem. The reason for the success of that matter was not only the promotion of the business alliance, but also the common needs of the local people.

It is true that Yu Tiao has a great say in the Yinjue, and with the death of King Xiyang, Shen Zhezi also accepted the huge legacy of the King of Xiyang in the Yinjue, but the family of Yinjue will not become completely resigned because of this. Answerers at their mercy.Especially when there are differences in political intentions between them, it is difficult to resolve them through economic interests.

The Shangmeng also faced such a problem. Although the Shen family had a strong grasp on the Shangmeng, due to the activities of Lu Ye and other Wuzhong elders in Jingkou, many families also tended to move the capital and give up Jiankang.And on this matter, even Shen Zhezi couldn't make it clear that he ignored the wishes of the villagers, and it was inconvenient for his father Shen Chong to show any attitude.

Although it is possible to use the right to speak in these two organizations to forcefully suppress those voices of disagreement, this will undoubtedly bury a hidden danger of disharmony for the still developing Shangmeng and Yinjue.Moreover, things have not yet developed to the point where it is necessary to adopt that kind of split struggle, and it is not that there are no other options.

Shen Zhezi was not the only one who caught fire in the backyard. The Qingxu family headed by the Wang family also had differences on this issue.During this battle, many problems were exposed by the Wang family. Wang Shu and other members of the Wang clan who stayed in Jingkou naturally had to find a way to solve them. On the one hand, Wang Dao's people are not enough to be his help.

As for the other important party is Tao Kan, he also hopes to use this matter to reach a part of the deal with the center, but this is somewhat beyond the bottom line of Wang Dao, and there has been constant see-saw between each other recently.

In short, the return of Xingtai to the capital has entrusted most people's expectations for the future arrangement of the situation. If there is not a plan acceptable to all parties, the return of Xingtai to the capital will be in the foreseeable future.

After listening to Yu Tiao's narration, Wen Qiao pondered for a long time, then looked at Shen Zhezi and said, "What does the son-in-law think about this?"
