Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 695
Shi Zhao's call for the Southern Expedition was not only circulated in the north, but soon the towns in Jiangbei also received the news, and at the same time they were paying close attention to the deployment of various troops in the enemy's territory.

Such a large-scale, cross-regional mobilization of troops can be described as a national battle.Therefore, the towns did not dare to conceal their power, and reported the information they received to the Zhongtai Pavilion.

The snowflakes of emergency documents from all over the country generally floated to Jiankang, and there were almost no memorials that could be called good news.A lot of news is put together to form a frightening and disturbing situation: Jienu has gathered a strong army, and the general population is strong, with hundreds of thousands of people, and they are about to come south in a big way!

Therefore, during this period of time, the princes in Taifu are also very anxious. They have to consider countermeasures, but they must not let the news spread, so that Jiangdong, whose hearts have just been cheered up, is completely messed up.

A similar situation was not expected by anyone.However, when the situation at the beginning of the year was very good, it is really inappropriate to bring up such a topic for more discussion.

But now that the problem is officially in front of us, it cannot be avoided, and we have to gather public opinion to deal with the crisis.Even Wen Qiao, who was suffering from illness, was invited into Taichung to discuss it day and night.

The slave soldiers were about to come to the south in large numbers, and all the towns were complaining urgently, either because of the shortage of soldiers or insufficient resources.But Taichung has nothing to do about it. In the past, the towns controlled the area, and Taichung had little room to intervene.Now that a strong enemy is approaching, it is really frustrating to hope that Taichung can give them some assistance.

However, in the emergency documents of each town, only Huainan town is unique.The memorandum sent by Shen Weizhou only described the enemy's situation, and at the same time briefly described the situation of Huainan's preparations for war, and there was no lack of confidence that it must be guarded, and there were not many words of complaints and urgency.

However, this does not make people happy, but instead makes them more depressed.Why this kid has such a detached attitude, everyone in the stage knows it well.

Nowadays, most of the boats sailing on the many waterways in Jiangdong are going to Huainan, and many people in Jiangdong are happy to send food and goods to this town.Under such a situation, if this kid still complains, it's a shame!

In fact, many people in Taiwan have long been resentful about Huainan's large introduction of Jiangdong private capital.It is not difficult to find out the details of those transactions as long as you pay a little attention.Although Shen Weizhou did not wantonly sell Huainan national materials due to his position, the depth of the Wu Xing Shen family's background was shown in it, which shocked the people of the time again.

Moreover, in this transaction, it was entirely the result of private negotiations between Shen Zhezi or the Shen family and many people in Jiangdong.Although in the end all these funds were invested in the operation and construction of Huainan, in fact, is it not the Shen family's private wealth to support the country's important town?

In Liang County last year, because of Huainan's big victory, many voices of criticism were suppressed.But Huainan and Shouchun are a hundred times more important than Liangjun!The Shen family is still like this, it is really intolerable for the law to completely ignore the pavilion!
If all the border towns follow this, then is there still a royal land in Jiangdong?I'm afraid that thousands of miles of fertile land will become the private land of the wealthy family!
Of course, this argument is a bit unfounded. After all, the entire Jiangdong has enough strength and connections to do this, but the Shen family is nothing more than that.But even if there is only this one outlier, it is enough to make Taige lose all face!If things go on like this, the country will not be the country!
Therefore, when the news that Jiehu was about to come to the south in a big way spread to the capital, some people in Taichung made suggestions and suggested that Taicheng should take this opportunity to send all the guards out of the capital and take back many Jindu waterways to restore Control over the entire Jiangdong private fund transfer!
In this way, Taichung's right to speak will inevitably increase sharply, and it will also be more conducive to the overall deployment and use of the entire Jiangdong people's assets and wealth, instead of only concentrating on Huainan, causing the rest of the border towns to be in a hurry.

However, after this suggestion was made, there was no response from anyone.

One is that things are urgent right now, and it is not yet clear where the slave soldiers will attack. There is no complete preparation in the stage for such a major move, and it is difficult to get things on the right track in a very short time.

It is not only Wu Xingshen's family that is involved in the two matters, both Jingzhou and Xuzhou have similar situations, but it is not as exaggerated as Yuzhou and Huainan.If Taichung intervenes forcefully, people will be disturbed, which will not be conducive to the later defensive battle.

Even if the three of them dispatched the guards, wouldn't the guards be reliable?Right now, there are also distinct factions among the guards, especially after the decline of the various families in Danyang, the Wu people came from behind.Even if the guards are dispatched, it may not be able to receive the effect of restraint and control. For Shen, it is nothing more than handing over the left hand to the right.

What's more, the Taiwanese assistants have to recognize the fact that even if they actually control these crossings, they can't interfere too much with the most important cargo transportation.

Shen Weizhou has enough appeal or exchange of interests to make the people in Jiangdong willing to move the materials out of their own warehouses and transfer them to all parties.They may not have it. If they just control the ferry channel and guard the river, what good is it!

Earlier, the front office was delighted that the separated East Yangzhou had returned, ending the Shen family's dominance of the southeast, so they made concessions on Shen Weizhou's appointment.But now, Shen Chong is still sitting in Kuaiji, dealing with the withdrawal of the state, and it is nowhere in sight to go north.However, Taiwan has already deeply felt the pain of Shen's father and son being separated from the north and the south, and echoing across the river!

"Why didn't you call Shen Wei and Zhou Qiang back to the capital?"

At a meeting of Taiwan's assistants, Cai Mo raised such a doubt, and then made a strong statement: "Before the stage was disturbed by the public, the decision was slightly deviated, so that the small minister ruled the big town. But now, the slave soldiers are coming south in large numbers. , Hundreds of thousands of people embraced the river and cut off the flow. The soldiers are so heavy, even if Shen Weizhou has military strategies, a strong army will definitely not be able to win with wisdom!"

"The power of slave soldiers is one, and the second is to be good at fighting. The commander of the enemy, Shi Hu, is the son of the slave master, the young man in the army, and the Duan family. There is no one who is not a hero for a while, who set an example with courage, and cannot compete with him. Now that the crowd is coming south, its prestige will be even more difficult to prove!"

From last year to now, Cai Mo has been one of the few calm factions in the court, and he has always advocated that it is not appropriate to rush to the north.It's a pity that both inside and outside the government and the public were confused by the frequent news of success, ignoring the fact that Jiangdong's national power is far inferior to that of the northern captives.

As soon as Cai Mo finished speaking, Liu Chao, the doctor of Guanglu, frowned and said, "Cai Daoming's words cannot be agreed with. It is true that Shihu slaves are thugs, but Shen Weizhou is not Jiang Biaojunyan! In the past, Su Jun rebelled, and the king was trapped in the Disordered teachers, all the sages are silent, and it is difficult to protect themselves. Shen Weizhou rode alone into King Qin, which is a great way to calm the chaos! Now he is working in the north, and has accumulated merits many times. He has conquered important towns. And labeling it as a small minister is not the voice of justice!"

Cai Mo sneered when he heard this, and said bluntly: "Guanglu's knowledge is biased. I suffer from Shen Weizhou's inability to keep it. It is because of his past achievements that he has accumulated many times. There are ups and downs in time, and twists and turns in Taoism. Violence and rebellion Although the bandits will eventually perish, when they are strong, it is advisable to avoid them for a while. The ancestors of the Han Dynasty, who were deposed by Bahan, endured humiliation and flattened the city. "

"Where the great wise and sages are raised, King Wen is trapped in Yuli, Taoism is prosperous in Muye. Goujian is humiliated in Kuaiji, and Weishen is in Qiangwu. The slaves have been violent for a long time, and heaven and man hate them. They must lose their way and perish! This will surely perish! It is not appropriate to fight for a quick decision against the bandits. Now that the power of the wolves is raging, fighting with them is to take risks."

"In the land of Jiangdong, there is a new chaos. The people can rest in peace and accumulate less food for the day. It is appropriate to support the people for a long time and accumulate storage. Only then will they rise up in the future and win the decisive victory in the Central Plains. Shen Weizhou was born in Wuzong, and he was a master when he was young. Blue eyes, adopted by the king, fierce determination, few setbacks. Therefore, if you are a little bit outside, you will fight for the time. The meritorious deeds in the past have not yet repaid the society, and it has already caused disaster..."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Cai. I have a doubt. It's hard not to ask. Shen Weizhou caused a catastrophe? Could it be that Mr. Cai thinks that this time the slaves attacked because of Weizhou's resumption of Shouchun? Sent by Zhengshuo in Jiangdong, the slaves in the north are living here illegally." It’s unbearable to use righteousness to avoid evil! Master Wang returned to the land, why should he still look at the eyes of the slaves?”

He Xi was also present at today's meeting. Hearing what Cai Mo said was more biased, he couldn't help but argue: "The slaves and thieves of today are oppressing the country, which has never happened in ancient times. The old stories of the former sages can't be discussed together! China is full of wolves, and the crown Take me away from my hometown. I am a young boy in Wu Tu, and I have never been to the Central Plains in my life. I have heard and heard about it, but I feel that I can't bear it!"

"The so-called changing customs in three years, changing to the local voice in ten years, it has been 16 years since the revival! The small bandits of Jie slaves in the past have now become a great rebellion. If you only care about treating slaves and thieves, fate will decline. What is the time of day?" The year is coming? Who is the slave owner? It’s just a man in a humble village. Who can’t compete with him in his infancy? If he didn’t work hard, how could he achieve the current situation? The slave is still like this, why should the king’s ministers be afraid of slaves and avoid danger!”

He Xi sternly asked questions in the banquet, originally Cai Mo was eloquent, but after hearing the words, he was a little at a loss for words.And there were many people in the table who wanted to speak in line with Cai Mo's words, and after hearing He Xi's words, they all fell silent.

For a while, the atmosphere in the banquet was a little awkward.And Cai Mo also knew that he had used too much force, and it was really inappropriate and contrary to the truth to put the crime of recruiting slaves on Shen Weizhou's head, so he was embarrassed to say anything more.

"He Jun's words are really high-sounding! As a king's minister, he should fight bravely to defeat the thieves, and strive to restore the king's business, and can't think of peace with his slaves."

When everyone didn't know what to say, it was often Wang Daoist who brought the atmosphere back, and this time was no exception.

He first looked at He Xi and nodded in praise, then pointed to Cai Mo, and said: "Daoming's long talk, there is no lack of merit. The slaves are in Huaxia, and everyone is in charge. It is really not to be underestimated. Shi Jilong is a soldier of the poor country. Coming from the south, this is the time when Jiangdong is in peril. Jingzhen and Xuzhen are guarded by veteran generals. Shen Wei and Zhou Chufeng are weak, and it is really worrying."

"I don't underestimate Weizhou, but I have deep hopes that he can live forever, and I can't bear to see him halfway. So I hope, before the battle, can I call Weizhou back quickly and ask a little bit? If he has the heart to fight and must defend, then there is no need to say anything else, the inside and outside are of the same mind, and just wait for the good news. If Weizhou feels that he is intimidating and difficult to appease the crowd, he can also choose the elders as his assistant. Even if he does not defend, he can retreat slowly Cross the river."

Hearing Director Wang's words, everyone nodded in agreement.Even Wen Qiao felt that this battle was too dangerous. If Shen Zhezi really didn't have the confidence to defend it, he might as well cross the river to avoid it temporarily.If you really have a youthful spirit and defend Jiangbei strongly, you will be gratified if you win. If you lose, not only will you die, but even Guozuo will be shaken and disturbed.

Although I also understand that if Shen Zhezi returns to the capital, he will be more or less restrained, but now that Shen Chong has not yet returned to the capital, and there are strong bandits coming, even if Taichung has other ideas, he dare not go too far.

Shen Zhezi is currently in Liang County, and the fast boat trip will only take three or two days, so I hope for peace of mind, and it won't delay too much military affairs.

　The second update arrives, and the status is still being adjusted, but the update will not be delayed. . .I also want face, and I will never bark to you. . .
