Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 560
Tao Kan wants to regain Xiangyang, this strategic goal is not small.

Xiangyang is an important town in Han Mian, and its gains and losses are extremely important to the strategic significance of the entire middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River.From Shen Zhezi's heart, he very much hopes that Tao Kan can succeed.Among other things, if Tao Kan can regain Xiangyang and hold it, the situation in Yuzhou will also improve. At least Jie Nu dare not go south to plunder on a large scale, which can make Shen Zhezi prepare for the war more calmly.

Jingzhou is divided into an important town in Shaanxi, and Tao Kan is also a veteran general who has been honed in battle. Since he dared to think about it, it must be targeted, and it is not an adventure that is divorced from reality.

Although Jiangdong suffered a toss after the Sujun Rebellion, Jingzhou as a whole suffered little damage.Chenghan in the west is also a mess now, and it is still reluctant to keep it, and it is weak to plunder.Jiehu in the north, on the other hand, has entered the late period of Shi Le's rule, and now it is shrinking and defending as a whole, digesting and solving internal contradictions by itself, and has no strong desire to attack.

Now Shizhao's governor of Jingzhou is named Guo Jing, and he is in an embarrassing position. Even if he occupies Xiangyang and plunders, he is actually more separated from Shizhao's court than Jiangdong.If Tao Kan fights with him, what can be guaranteed is that even if Shi Zhao has reinforcements, it will definitely not be too timely.Therefore, from a military point of view, the competition around Xiangyang is actually a partial battle between the north and the south of Jingzhou.

On the whole, it is true that Jiangdong's counterattack is weak, and Shi Zhao's current situation is not enough to support large-scale military operations.Shi Le's many actions to support Hanchen have already made his subordinates Hu generals have hidden resentment, and each of them more or less showed some intention of supporting their own self-respect, which can be described as very unstable internally.

But Tao Kan's current predicament, whether it is big or small, is half due to his own fault, and half is an accident of no reason.

Although Jingzhou is also a vast area, it is the place of the Four World Wars. Especially since Tao Kan took over, Taichung has consciously suppressed it since the era of Yu Liang's administration, so Jingzhou itself has some difficulties.Although Tao Kan solved some problems by countering the rebellion, but then Wang Shu left Zhenjiang Prefecture, which made his rear a little unstable.

Not long ago, Tao Kan snatched Xiangdong from the Qingxu family, which made Wang Shu increase his blockade of Jingzhou.There is little communication between the two states right now.

Of course, the lack of communication at the top cannot completely cut off the communication at the bottom.Therefore, Jingzhou can still get some supplies from Jiangzhou intermittently.

But this situation came to an abrupt end after Shen Zhezi vigorously developed the Jiankang market and attracted many Jiangzhou people into the game.For the same materials and goods, it is more profitable to go to Jiankang, and the transportation is more convenient, so Jingzhou is naturally not attractive.

If it was an ordinary year, Jingzhou would be more than enough to be self-sufficient, but if it wanted to launch such a large military operation, the accumulation would be somewhat insufficient.Tao Kan did not give Shen Zhezi too many problems through Tao Hong. If he wanted to start a battle and occupy Xiangyang in the future, there would still be a vacancy of about 20 dendrobium in Jingzhou.

20 dendrobium grains, this amount is not small.In the early years, the Shen family was known as the leader of Jiangdong. With such a large food shortage, the family was almost forced to die.But for the current Shen Zhezi, this number cannot be said to be too big.

But if he directly provides assistance to Jingzhou, not to mention the difficulty of raising funds, the difficulty of transportation and consumption along the way alone will exceed the difficulty of raising money.

Shen Zhezi directly met Yuzhang's surnames Deng, Luo, Xiong, etc., and even the Hu family of his disciple Hu Run.Although Dingcang is still a new venture at the moment, and it has not yet reached the time of great profit, but the prospect is promising, so these people are also very enthusiastic about Shen Zhezi's invitation.

"I invite you all this time, and I actually have something to ask for."

After the host and guest were seated, Shen Zhezi went straight to the point and spoke directly.

"My son-in-law said that, it would be too far-fetched. If I can do something, it's my honor, so don't ask for it."

Xiong Song, a member of the Xiong clan who had been staying in the capital and was already quite familiar with Yu Tiao, said hastily after hearing the words, his expression was not lacking in compliments, but the others were not disdainful because of this, and echoed their views one after another.

These people's attitudes are so correct, on the one hand, it is naturally because Shen Zhezi did not favor the cold, and brought them together to make a fortune.On the other hand, I saw with my own eyes not long ago that the Shen family directly fought against the Langya Wang family, and the result was already very clear. Even an old wealthy family like the Langya Wang family could no longer suppress the Shen family. There is no need to offend a new door.

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he said with a smile: "Since everyone is full of kindness, then I will not make more lies."

As he spoke, he recounted what Tao Kan had asked for, and then said with a smile: "The dry city of the Principality of Tao worked hard for the country, and conquered the captives to open up the frontier. Since I am troubled by this, I have a duty to sue. 20 dendrobium grain, As far as I'm concerned, it's not too small, but it's not too much. But there's only one thing to worry about. One is at the head of the river, and the other is at the end of the river. They live in the east and west of each other, and the journey is long. Besides, this is for military use. If there is a delay in the time, it is a mistake. It is a serious crime for the country, so we must be cautious. So I want to ask you, can you help me?"

Everyone was still smiling eagerly, but after hearing Shen Zhezi's words, they all cooled down, and there was no lack of embarrassment in their expressions.They thought that Shen Zhezi's troubles were only related to their own affairs, and if they could help, it would be a favor, but they didn't expect that this matter would involve Jingzhou, so it would be a bit difficult.

Shen Zhezi said this because he wanted to ask them to help Jingzhou.In fact, it's not like they haven't done this kind of thing before.After all, the family has a big business, so it is natural to place multiple bets.But the current situation is that it is obvious that Jiankang has a much greater opportunity than Jingzhou, not to mention that Wang Shu is short of directly tearing his face with Tao Kan. In this case, they will help Tao Kan, and it will cost money. , and may offend the superior Shangguan, which is really embarrassing.

What's more, 20 dendrobium grains!No matter which family it is placed in, it is a big number. Nowadays, not everyone has the arrogance of this son-in-law. For a total of 20 dendrobium grain, only one evaluation is no more, no less.

Seeing that everyone suddenly became silent, and the atmosphere of the banquet was slightly awkward, Shen Zhezi was not surprised.Of course, he can't directly accuse these people of only caring about their own private interests and disregarding the use of the country. That is totally unreasonable.Anyone can say big words, but now that they are about to open their mouths to come up with white rice grains, how many people have the noble sentiments to destroy their families and relieve their difficulties?

What's more, in the eyes of the people at the time, Tao Kan wanted to regain Xiangyang, was the purpose purely for loyalty to the country?I'm afraid Tao Kan himself wouldn't think so.

"Since I have this request, of course I will not make it difficult for you. I will divide the 20 dendrobium grains into ten shares. Please claim them according to your ability. After the grains arrive in Jingzhou, please issue a receipt from Jingzhou. With this to the capital, I will The original amount will be paid, and [-] hu will be added for every [-] hu of grain. In addition, the construction of the Neidong City in the capital will be completed soon after the next year. If you help today, I will repay you in the future."

Shen Zhezi set out his own conditions, and then said: "This is a private friendship within the family, and it does not involve the theory of justice. It is helpful today, and I will keep it in my heart."

When everyone heard the conditions offered by Shen Zhezi, the embarrassment on their faces gradually faded away, and then they began to bow their heads and think.It is true that 20 dendrobium grain is not a small amount for each of their families, but if it is only [-] to [-] dendrobium, it is not impossible to raise money with a little money.

As Shen Zhezi said, raising food is only a trivial matter, and transporting food is the most difficult thing.But in the past, they actually had transactions with the Jingzhou Army in this regard. In fact, there were channels, but they gave up because the cost was far less than the profit of transporting to Jiankang.

Shen Zhezi offered [-] Dendrobium grains to give [-] Dendrobiums in compensation, which would be generous if water transportation was convenient in summer and autumn, and there would be a surplus after deducting the consumption.But now, the water transportation in Jiangzhou itself is not as convenient as in Wuzhong, and it is the dry season in early winter. If people and animals are transported alone, the cost will increase greatly.In fact, two thousand dendrobium grains could not fully supplement their transportation consumption.

However, they also need to consume food to transport it to Jiankang.After offsetting each other, even if there is a loss, it is completely within the acceptable level.This little loss can not only show favor to the Shen family, but also gain a favor in Jingzhou, and Shen Zhezi has more promises.Such a sum made them feel excited.In this way, Wang Shu's resentment is nothing.The Wang family has lost such a big face and can't get it back. How dare they suppress them because of such a trivial matter?

The first person to react was Xiong Song, who stood up under Yu Tiao's winks and said loudly: "Although the Han family lives in Jiangxi, they still believe in loyalty. I will do what I can, and I am willing to claim three shares. To help the son-in-law's troubles, it will not be overdue."

With this one taking the lead, others also jumped up and claimed each other.There were six or seven companies present, and the mere ten seats were quickly sold out.

That Xiong Song claimed it first, and got three shares. Seeing other people who didn't get the shares turned to look at him, he couldn't guess what those people were thinking, so he said: "The son-in-law is entrusted by Mr. Tao, although it is a private discussion among the sects. , but the heart is still open and honest. What kind of subsidy of [-] hu, my family really can't accept it with shame..."

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he quickly raised his hand to interrupt: "It has been agreed before that this is a private friendship within the family, and it does not involve the theory of justice. Everyone who helps me today, I have five feelings, and there will be retribution in the future. Kindness Fist, I am really flattered, and I may still have to work a long time in the future, it is strange to thank you so much, I send my love to the cup and drink the Holy Spirit!"

After everyone heard the words, they raised their glasses one after another.It's just that each of them had some thoughts about what Shen Zhezi said in their hearts.Will it be long labor in the future?It seems that the Shen family still has strength for the current situation, and there is no shortage of great prospects!
