Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 567
Shen Zhezi lived in Yanshan Manor for five days before finally being able to leave. It was Guangling Xijian who sent troops across the river to meet him.But Yu Manzhi and the others had already crossed the river a few days ago.

The reason why Beijing can become the main habitat of Nandu people is due to geographical factors.The great river is forty miles across, even if the national strength of China and North Korea is so strong, they would not dare to choose this place as the battle zone for the main breakthrough if they planned to go south to destroy Wu for more than ten years.With such a chaotic state in the Central Plains, it is impossible for Jiehu to break through this section of the great river.

The abnormal prosperity of the capital today also benefits from this natural and superior geographical environment.There are many important towns along the great river, and there are also many refugees congregating in each of them, but the development track of the capital cannot be replicated.

After Shen Zhezi and his party crossed the river, they saw the banners waving on the bank, and many people had already set up to greet them.The leading one is also an acquaintance, but Gu He, a member of the Gu clan in Wu County, who is now serving as the chief historian of Xuzhou Governor's Mansion.Arranging for Chang Shi to greet him in person shows that Xi Jian really attaches great importance to Shen Zhezi's arrival.

After exchanging greetings with each other after disembarking, Shen Zhezi and others boarded the car and headed to Guangling Township.

The scenery here in Guangling is different from the desolation in the painting. Although the surrounding fields are empty, there are stacked camps and patrolling soldiers everywhere along the way.In this cold winter season, it is even more chilling.It is separated from the bustling Beijing by a river, but they are two completely different worlds.

A group of people ran in the field for a whole day, and Guangling City was only vaguely in sight.It is not so much a strong fortress as it is a huge complex of buildings.

Surrounding the city are a large number of fortified market towns. As long as there are people living, there must be walls.Even the acres of arable land reclaimed along the city are surrounded by many watchtowers and arrow towers.These iron-blooded buildings alone make people realize that this side is not a pure land, and battles will happen at any time.

Gu He sent Shen Zhezi and his party to a fort near Guangling City, where they joined Yu Manzhi and the others, and then returned to the city to report their orders.Shen Zhezi was not surprised by this, no matter how good he felt about himself, he didn't think he was qualified to let Xi Jian withdraw immediately to meet him as soon as he arrived.

Yu Manzhi and others rushed to greet him after inquiring. This kid didn't realize that he was about to start a family and stand on his own. He arrived in riding clothes. When he saw Shen Yun, he pointed at him and laughed, "Shen Yunraccoon, you always show off yourself in front of me." How excellent is the bow and horse! But now my father-in-law gifted me a good bow and horse, do you want to come and try it?"

Shen Yun has always loved bow and horse, and fortunately he can afford to play at home, especially because he is not upset with Yu Manzhi's demeanor, so Dang even jumped out of the car and put on soft armor, to see how excellent Yu Manzhi's new bow and horse are.A group of people quickly roared away laughing, leaving behind Shen Zhezi and the few children of the Xi family, who were a little embarrassed with each other.

Shen Zhezi came to welcome the relatives this time, and he was also a guest of the Yu family. He really hated Yu Manzhi's inconspicuous posture, so he just said with a dry smile: "Sanlang is simple and pure, elegant or not, Wu There is no lack of proficiency in doing things. In the age of doing things, it is not necessary to stick to one way to show loyalty."

Xi Erlang, who was a recluse with Yu Tiao in the Xi family in the early years, also laughed dryly after hearing the words: "Everyone has their own strengths, and those like son-in-law who are brilliant in literature, outstanding in martial arts, and first-class in masterpieces are naturally rare in the world." Few. Changmin may be lacking in elegance, and it is rare to be pure and innocent."

Come on, when Shen Zhezi heard Xi Erlang's tone, he knew that Yu Manzhi must have revealed his true colors these few days, which made his father-in-law's heart feel cold.But this is also what they deserve, the harm of blind marriage and dumb marriage.When it comes to elegance and catering to the aesthetic taste of the people of the time, Yu Man is naturally hard to compare with Shu Shengta.

Although Xi's family is outstanding in martial arts, there is always a heart of a famous scholar in his heart.For example, the eldest son of Xi Jian, Xi Yin, who is standing in front of Shen Zhezi, is still wearing a broad-collared shirt even in the cold weather, holding a folding fan in one hand, and the tail of a stag in the other. But the panache.

Shen Zhezi is currently wrapped in a big fur and covers his head with a hood. He still feels the cold wind is unbearable. Seeing Xi Min's attire, he feels the cold for him, and can't help shivering a few times.But Xi Yin stood there with sharp eyes and ruddy face, as if cold and heat did not invade, it simply violated the existence of historical common sense.

Originally, Shen Zhezi guessed that Xi Yin was an unknown inner master in this world, but when they got closer to each other, they smelled a strong smell of alcohol on each other.

Compared with Xi Erlang's polite evaluation, Xi Yin's evaluation of Yu Manzhi's future brother-in-law is much more unkind: "Although I am not lucky, I often hear that Gu Zhongshu has a high standard of elegance, ranking first in Jiangdong. I once crossed the river before and saw Yu Daoan. Although he was in a funeral home, he was still calm and at peace, restrained and calmed his mind. He could save one or two stories of the style of Chinese calligraphy. I didn’t expect that the characters in the same family are so different , it is deeply regrettable!"

Even Shen Zhezi had a bit of air, and when he heard Xi Yin's tone of contempt for Yu Manzhi, his complexion suddenly sank, and he sneered twice. Although he didn't speak, the dissatisfaction in his expression was fully revealed.If Yu Manzhi is a bit guilty, then Xi Jian's son is simply brain-dead, and the marriage between the two families has to be like this. Even if Yu Manzhi is a pile of stinky shit, you, Xi's family, have to hold your nose and eat it, saying These, what qualifications do they have!
Seeing this, Xi Erlang hurried forward to smooth things over, and took Shen Zhezi to visit the fort.

Xi Yin still didn't feel that his words were wrong. Seeing Shen Zhezi and his cousin walking aside, he strode to catch up with Shen Zhezi and said to Shen Zhezi: "I have long admired my son-in-law. I hurried to Jiangnan the other day. See you, I haven't had a long talk. We will meet again today, and I have a lot of questions I want to ask for advice."

Shen Zhezi was surprised when he heard Xi Yin say that.This Xi Yin obviously has a fiery heart of celebrities, but although he is highly regarded, he is mostly famous for his meritorious deeds, and there is no high evaluation in the circle of celebrities.I don't know what question this kid wants to ask when he chases after him.

Seeing Shen Zhezi stop, Xi Min greeted Shen Zhezi and said with a smile: "I have always heard that the son-in-law's family has always worshiped the master. I am also a disciple under the altar. Although the worship is not from the same family, it can be traced back to the same source. Often I am curious about the similarities and differences between Wu Zongzhi's theory and Jiangbei's Fa Chuan, and the son-in-law is here as a guest today, can we discuss it together?"

Shen Zhezi boasted that his mind was turning quickly, but when he heard Xi Yin's words, he still felt a little stuck in his thinking.It took a long while to react in astonishment, and then I almost couldn't help giving Xi Yin a thumbs up.He is not considered a lonely and unknown person in Jiangdong now, even if those who seek to see him do not say anything, they are not much different.However, although there were many people who sought to see him, this was the only one who wanted to discuss religious issues with him.

Shen Zhezi turned his head and stared at Xi Min for a moment, really wanting to smash open the boy's head to see what was inside.But after all, I am a guest here, so my attitude is not too offensive, I just waved my hand and said: "Brother Fang Hui asked me this question, which surprised me. Although my family has a lot of respect for the master, it is just following the custom and following the etiquette. It is really hard to understand. Profound."

"The son-in-law is too humble! Respect the family, and the blessings will last forever. Your family, son-in-law, alas, regardless of the past, now the noble mansion is resounding in the present, as if you are deeply loved by the heavens. To be honest, even my master Chenglu Lu Shijun, I want to invite my son-in-law to discuss mysteries..."

Seeing Shen Zhezi's polite refusal, Xi Min still refused to give up, stepped forward and grabbed Shen Zhezi's robe belt, refusing to let go, looking eager for knowledge.

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he couldn't help but look at Xi Yin even more differently. His family suddenly appeared in the current situation, and naturally attracted the attention of all parties. There are all kinds of opinions.But like Xi Yin, he thinks that his family is seeking the blessings of gods and being blessed by gods. Such a strange angle is really staggering.

Standing by the side, Xi Erlang was really ashamed to hear his cousin's mouth full of words, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and tried to persuade him: "The son-in-law is coming far away, and the boat and the car are exhausted. How can Fang Hui be forced to be impolite? Even if he wants to have a deep talk , and let the son-in-law rest for a while to recuperate."

"That's really rude to me, please don't mind me. Then I will leave first, and my son-in-law can rest at ease, and come to ask for advice in the future."

Hearing his cousin's words, Xi Yin smiled awkwardly, saluted Shen Zhezi and apologized, and then walked away calmly.

Looking at Xi Min's thin figure with his sleeves waving in the cold wind, Shen Zhezi couldn't help feeling that the world is so big that there are so many wonders.The so-called Er Xi's slander, he finally saw it today.

Xi Erlang persuaded his cousin to leave, and when he turned his head, his face was full of embarrassment, and he apologized repeatedly to Shen Zhezi: "Fang Hui is obsessed with the law, and his words and deeds may be out of courtesy, but his heart is calm, please don't take offense .”

"Maybe because of my ignorance, I only keep the interest. I am a vulgar person, but I can't understand it deeply."

After hearing the words, Shen Zhezi said with a fake smile on his face, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if Xi Jiajiro also behaved like this, Xi Jian really has no successors.The knowledge of this kind of little-footed old lady was also fortunate to be born in Quanzong's family. If it is an ordinary family, it is unknown whether she can survive in such a world.

With Xi Yin's interruption, Xi Erlang didn't have the leisure to lead Shen Zhezi to visit the fortress, he led him to his residence and exchanged greetings, explained the matter of welcoming his relatives in the future, and then left.

As soon as Xi Erlang left here, someone came to see Shen Zhezi's residence. It was Cao Na, who joined the army in Guangling, who was the father of Cao Li, a student Shen Zhezi accepted in the capital.

Cao Nainian was about 40 years old, and his hair on the temples was a little gray due to the severe wind and frost in the north. Although he was wearing a cloak, his demeanor and demeanor were a bit like an old farmer.It's not that it's vulgar, but it's not lacking in simplicity, unlike a military leader who gathers a crowd.

This Cao Nai asked to see him, and he performed the ceremony respectfully. After he was seated, he bowed to Shen Zhezi and said, "My son came to tell me with a letter from his family. I will go to pay my respects. Fortunately, the son-in-law is in this township, and the last general has been waiting for a long time, eager to see him."

"General Cao, you don't need to be too polite. You wait for the frontier ministers, guarding the town and defending the country, so that the inside and outside can be safe. It can be said that you have worked hard. Your son is polite and respectful, and he is well-versed in personnel. I will not lack for his help in the capital. If you want to say thank you, on the contrary. I would like to thank General Cao for his well-educated education and nurturing talents, which benefited me a lot.”

Finally meeting a normal person, Shen Zhezi was not lacking in politeness to Cao Na, and said with a smile.

After chatting with each other for a while, Cao Na sighed at the table and said: "My son is a disciple of the son-in-law, and the general will not lie in front of the son-in-law. In fact, it is really necessary to send the son to the capital this time. I will wait for the side pawns." Since he is loyal and courageous to worship the king, it is a pity that the princes in Taiwan have not looked down on him for a long time. What a pity for the honor and disgrace of the Han family, but it is deeply regrettable that the sons of the subordinates have done their best to kill the enemy, but they can't live up to the current news... ..."

Hearing Cao Na's emotion, Shen Zhezi couldn't help being silent.Although this remark is not lacking in the intention of embellishing his family's pretending to be their ancestors, it is not because of the disadvantages of the time.The court has a long-standing tradition of underestimating the generals guarding the border, and it has almost formed a vicious circle.Because the centrifugal force is heavy, it cannot be trusted.Because it cannot be trusted, the centrifugation is even heavier.

Nowadays, many frontier generals in Jiangbei are more or less wall-sitters swinging left and right.A family like the Cao family who worked so hard to pretend to be an ancestor in order to gain a foothold in Jiangdong is already a rare loyalty.

"Taiwan is divided into powers now, and the old state is no longer there. General Cao doesn't have to worry about this. He will definitely use it in the north in the future. You can use it if you wait for a long time to serve as a good minister!"

For Cao Na's self-defense and complaints, Shen Zhezi can only comfort him in this way.

"I'm afraid that the wealthy family's desire to rape will not die!"

Cao Na had heard about the personnel dynamics in the capital, and when he heard what Shen Zhezi said, he frowned and sighed again: "I came to see the son-in-law today, and I dared to speak up. Now Guangling is full of undercurrents. Since Gu Junxiao came to the town, he has made appointments with various families. , the last general is also invited. If you don't know what he is doing, it is difficult to conspire, I am afraid that he will be confused."

Hearing what Cao Na said, Shen Zhezi frowned unavoidably.Although Gu He is from Wu, he has been used by Wang Daoju all the way. This is no secret.His purpose as Xi Jian's long history is naturally not simple.But with such a big move, aren't you afraid of arousing Xi Jian's resentment?

Cao Na told himself these things, of course, not to put him on guard.After all, Guangling is Xi Jian's territory. Even if he wants to defend and fight back, it is Xi Jian's business, and it is not Shen Zhezi's turn to go overboard and make irresponsible remarks.

After pondering for a while, Shen Zhezi could only sigh with emotion that the dock masters in these frontier areas were struggling between life and death all day long, and their perception of danger was really keen, even to the point of worrying about gains and losses.There has just been some changes here in Guangling, and each of them has started to prepare for the contingency.

This Cao Na seems to be as simple as an old farmer, but in fact he has a very delicate mind. He saw that the Qingxu family wanted to replace Xi Jian, and immediately began to plan ahead.Telling this, in addition to showing goodwill, I should also hope that the Wuzhong family behind Shen Zhezi can stop the Qingxu family from plotting Guangling.After all, because of his family's recognition of their relatives, it is inevitable that they will be a little embarrassed with Qingxu's family.If Xi Jian is indeed replaced, it is likely to be purged.

"Xi Gong's morality is high and prosperous, the people's hearts aspire, and the country's pillars make the city easy and hard to shake."

When Shen Zhezi said this, his mind suddenly moved, and he said: "Since General Cao is frank, I might as well tell you bluntly. The power of Taichung has been transferred, and the princes have great expectations. Tao Gong of Jingzhou has already mobilized his troops and is going to attack Xiangyang. And Yu Yuzhou in the west is also waiting for revenge, and will implement the old strategy. My good friend Du Daohui is stationed in Tuzhong, which is preset for this purpose. The rain clouds are thick, and they are about to pour down. The big event suddenly appears, and we can see it. "

When Cao Na heard what Shen Zhezi said, his expression changed.To be able to gain a foothold in this world, he is naturally not a simple person, but if he is aware of the changes in the general trend, it is an exaggeration, and he has no vision at all.What Shen Zhezi depicted was a situation where the inside and the outside are united, and they are about to use troops in Jiangbei on a large scale. This is the opportunity for the warriors to show themselves!
It is true that there are many despicable martial arts in this world, but it does not mean that martial artists will have no future.Tao Kan, who occupies an important town in Shaanxi Province, Liu Xia, who died of illness a few years ago, and Su Jun, who was punished for rebellion, are all outstanding fighters who can advance in martial arts!
Cao Na sat silently at the table for a long time before he barely digested the information revealed in Shen Zhezi's words, and then he cupped his hands and said to Shen Zhezi: "My son can be taken care of by a son-in-law in the capital, and my family will really benefit a lot. If you have a job, you will be summoned with a piece of paper, and you will never dare to resign!"

Shen Zhezi nodded with a smile after hearing the words. His family has a good relationship with Xi Jian, but this does not prevent him from poaching Xi Jian's corner.Everyone has the desire to make progress, and there are plans to make progress in border towns all over the world in the future, but here Xi Jian is restricted by the Qingxu family. Even if he makes progress, he will definitely have reservations and cannot provide too many opportunities.

When Cao Na said this, it was tantamount to expressing his position that if Shen Zhezi could control and supervise the Jiangbei army in the future, he would be willing to serve under Shen Zhezi's command.
