Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 570 Xuzhou Chaos
All three members of the Shen family were whipped, which poured cold water on the cheerful atmosphere.Afterwards, no matter what feelings they had in their hearts, they couldn't be more reckless and wanton.

Shen Zhezi's argument of cherishing his own body for the sake of the state and refusing to be obedient was quickly spread through the mouths of Xie Yi and others, and then aroused discussions among the more than 300 children of Duzhong aristocratic families.

Some people naturally sneered at this. The children of these aristocratic families have their own strong backing from the old honors of the court, and they are not like the poor family who can only be humble and useless. They have a lot of time and energy to pursue those mysterious pleasures. He also has little sense of agreement with Shen Zhezi's argument.

However, there are also some people who respect this as holy, and think that this is an old-fashioned and prudent statement that recognizes the current situation and actively prepares for it. Psychological recognition is transferred to practical actions. Mingzhi.

The family welcoming team, which was originally quite happy, gradually divided into two camps because of differences in temperament, interest and cognition.About half of those who agree with Shen Zhezi and those who disagree.

With such a result, Shen Zhezi was still very satisfied.He is well aware that his argument is really difficult to gain mainstream approval nowadays.In a small group of more than 300 people, it is already a very good result to be able to get half of the people to agree and respond.

On the one hand, it was naturally because of his personal charisma, and on the other hand, it was also because of the sons of the aristocratic families who came with him, there were many angry youths who had been hanging around Shen Yuan all year round.Shen Zhezi linked the service to the Northern Expedition, so whether or not to serve the San is not only a matter of personal taste and preference, but has risen to the height of morality and loyalty.

Right now, it is only a discussion among a group of young people. When we return to the capital in the future, this issue will definitely arouse extensive discussions among the people of the time.Controversy is not terrible. What is really terrible is that people do not realize whether it is right or wrong to be obsessed with obedience. When this issue has value to be discussed, there will naturally be a steady stream of people joining the two camps. .

In the past, the Shen family was in a rising period, and it was necessary to make extensive efforts to ask for help in order to increase its influence.But now, his family's status has climbed to a critical point, and he no longer needs to be as good as he used to be. He needs to strengthen his own proposition and purpose. This is the attitude that a leader of a school should have.

The divisions and quarrels among the young people did not affect the progress of the marriage. Yu Manzhi made a timely remedy and finally turned the uncooked rice into cooked rice.When the Xi family came to the manor and saw the mess all over the garden, their expressions became a little ugly. Xi Yin, who was already somewhat dissatisfied with this brother-in-law, was so angry that he walked away.

But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to regret, even if there is sorrow, you have to swallow the bitterness in your stomach.We also need to sort out the send-off team and cross the river to return to Jinling before the New Year's Eve.

The group stayed in Guangling for another two days, and it was not until before leaving that Xi Jian found time to meet Shen Zhezi.

When Shen Zhezi arrived at the Governor's Mansion, the festive decorations such as various lanterns inside and outside had not been removed.Many generals in Xuzhou were still meeting in the main hall, and Shen Zhezi was arranged to wait in the side hall first.

The place where he was and the main hall were separated by a high wall, and there was still a distance of several feet in between.Even so, Shen Zhezi could still hear the quarreling and even roaring there.Hearing a few words vaguely, he outlined the content of the dispute in his heart.

In the Huai area theater, under the current situation of confrontation between the North and the South, there are countless conflicts, large and small, throughout the year.The two parties in the current dispute are mainly the Linhuai front line and the generals of the Guangling headquarters who are arguing endlessly.As for the content of the dispute, some people in Linhuai want to fight for more logistics supplies, which will naturally violate the interests of the generals in Guangling headquarters.

Shen Zhezi waited in the side hall for less than half an hour, and the noise of the dispute continued, even mixed with the sound of armor colliding, one can imagine what kind of chaotic situation Xi Jian was facing.

After a while, the arguing gradually stopped.Then, footsteps sounded outside the hall, and Shen Zhezi got up quickly, and Xi Jian appeared at the door without hesitation.Shen Zhezi took a few glances as he stepped forward to pay respects.

Today's Xi Jian is slightly older than a few years ago, his beard and hair are even grayer, the nasolabial folds at the corners of his lips are deeper, his shoulders wrapped in fur are slightly bent, his eyebrows are still furrowed, and his face is full of Visibly tired.

"I have been waiting for a long time, please sit down."

After entering the room, Xi Jian nodded to Shen Zhezi, forced a smile, then walked in himself, and sat on the upper table.

Shen Zhezi bowed and replied: "Xi Gong is responsible for the frontier defense, and he can take the time to make sense, so it is right to wait. Changmin and I have a deep friendship in the world, and I respectfully meet you. Xi Gong can only be called by name."

Xi Jian looked at Shen Zhezi, who was thoughtful and courteous, and his thoughts froze slightly, but there were many associations in his heart.Since he returned to the town, he has been troubled a lot. Although he has never had direct contact with Shen Zhezi, he has been restrained by Shen's family a lot, but he doesn't feel any respect.

"That's fine, Wei Zhou, you are a young phoenix with a clear voice, and you sing repeatedly in Jiangbiao. If you don't see Junyan in your youth, you don't know that old age is coming. I have long wanted to see Wei Zhou, but I have been busy with chores and have no time. Wei Zhou, don't you I'm going to leave again, if I don't see him, it will be a pity for me."

Xi Jian said this, but he felt too much emotion in his heart. The influence of this young man in the current situation cannot be ignored more and more.

Hearing Xi Jian's high reputation, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but sit up straight and responded humbly.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xi Jian asked about the personnel changes in the capital some time ago.In his position, although he has been in the border town for a long time, any disturbance in the stage will have a great impact, and it is difficult to be alone.Hearing the strong performance of Yuzhou people from Shen Zhezi's mouth, Xi Jian's complexion gradually improved.

Originally, in Xi Jian's mind, he was willing to echo the Taibao.But it's a pity that creation tricks people, but they are drifting away from each other.As for now, he is more able to feel the Taibao's intention to take him down, and there is even less possibility of making concessions for peace.The power of the Yuzhou family has risen sharply, and there is no direct benefit to him, but it is very good for him to be able to share part of the pressure from Taichung.

"This year's harvest is poor, and the northern front is not peaceful. There are many rebellious soldiers coming to the south. The soldiers are exhausted and the battle is second. There are too many injuries, and the hearts of the people are disturbed!"

Xi Jian sighed again, talking about the dispute in the main hall just now.Jie Nu has been doing more internal affairs this year, and there are not many signs and actions of large-scale southward looting, but it does not mean that Xuzhou will get a chance to breathe and sleep. The small-scale random looting in private makes people tired of coping.Especially among these rebels, there are also rebel generals who are well aware of the situation in Huai. With their guidance, those rebels can go deep into the interior, escape with a single blow, and move swiftly, making it hard to guard against.

Originally, for this kind of military affairs, Xi Jian would not complain to Shen Zhezi, a junior.However, Shen Zhezi has great influence and scheduling ability in the capital. If he wants to get more assistance from the capital, it will undoubtedly be much more efficient to communicate directly with Shen Zhezi.

Speaking of this section, Xi Jian panicked in his heart, originally Jingkou was an extremely important part of his military planning.Although he is based in Guangling, Jiangbei, he also needs Jingkou, a stable and safe base in the rear, in order to revitalize the situation in Huai.But the defeat in Jingkou made him fall into a great passive position.Not to mention going south to deter the Three Wus, even simply maintaining the stability of the Huaihe region is extremely reluctant.

Now that Jingkou has been selected as the accompanying capital again, it has received more attention, which makes it more difficult for Xi Jian to interfere in the affairs of the capital.Without the territory of the capital, among the army leaders in Huaidi, at most, he has older qualifications, greater strength, and a more detached position, and does not have a stronger means of control.

Even when it comes to the connection with the capital, many military leaders are ahead of him.For this marriage, he also wants to use the Yu family's relationship in the capital to obtain a more calm position.Although Yu Manzhi's son-in-law really didn't suit him very much, there was no need to say anything at this point. He just hoped that the substantive support from the capital could be implemented as soon as possible.

"Huaizhong is the Ping Fan in the north of the Yangtze River. If there is no Duke Xi in this bitter town, how can Jiangbiao be at peace. The capital and Guangling are actually two sides of the same palm. The honor and loss are one, and the only one is not complete. At first, there were many people there. There is talk, Liu Gong's return to Taiwan makes people terrified, but fortunately Xi Gong is still there, so there is nothing to worry about."

Shen Zhezi also understands that keeping Xi Jian out of the capital for a long time is really not conducive to the stability of the region.But now that the Beijing government has such a specification, there are many interests involved, and it is by no means that the ownership can be determined within the sect.Even if you want to help a bunch of Xi Jian, you can only delegate power to a limited extent.

When Xi Jian heard that Shen Zhezi did not object to him going further to the capital, his face was also happy.The promises of this young man are only small things, but his attitude can represent the opinions of many people.He also understands that it is impossible for Taichung to allow him to completely occupy the capital, but even a limited intrusion is very precious to him.

After reaching a consensus on this topic, the atmosphere will be much more relaxed.Xi Jian and Shen Zhezi talked a lot about things here in Guangling, and by the way made a pledge to help take care of Tu Zhong's mess.

Xi Jian is also a big shot in the current situation, but Shen Zhezi didn't have the opportunity to have any direct and in-depth contact earlier.This meeting gave me a more comprehensive understanding of Xi Jian.In general, although Xi Jian used to guard the frontier town, he could not be classified as a military commander, but more of a coordinating figure.

Speaking more deeply, Xi Jian, as the commander of a border town, did not come up with an active offensive or defensive military plan like Tao Kan, which is obviously unqualified in military terms.But for the overall stability of Huaidi, his achievements cannot be denied.

Under such an unfavorable situation, although Huaidi is full of military leaders, it can still be maintained as a whole without falling apart.Xi Jian played a huge role in it.
