Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 698 Jin Zuo survives and dies in this battle

After the boat entered the water, the atmosphere became more and more chilling.The boats are constantly moving on the water, some are full of goods, and some are full of soldiers.

Sima Xun was born in Guanzhong, and it is rare to see the scenery of water towns. In addition, a major event is imminent. He also wanted to relieve his mood a little, so he went to the deck to see the scenery on both sides of the strait.

However, from time to time, barracks protruded from the water to block the waterway, and armored soldiers boarded the boat for inspection frequently.

Especially the vigilant eyes of the soldiers up and down reminded Sima Xun of the miserable years when he carefully avoided the search by the county officials in the capital, so his good mood disappeared for a while.

After sailing for half a day, he finally couldn't bear it any longer, knocked on the door of Li Chong's cabin, and said dissatisfied after a short greeting: "Brother Hongdu, are the soldiers of Liang County abusing their duties? You and I are The dispatched by Taige is under an urgent order, so they should enter the town as soon as possible. Kuangzhou boats are coming from the south, while the enemy captives are in the north, such strict interrogation will make you and me treacherous bandits!"

"After all, the enemy is in front of us, and the military security must be stricter. After entering the county and seeing the son-in-law, the situation will improve. Please bear with me for a while."

Li Chong is not lacking in curiosity about Sima Xun, after all, the name sounds a lot to people's daydreams and cannot be taken lightly.But he is not a person who is curious and voyeuristic by nature, so even if he has some doubts, he hides them in his heart, and only keeps kindness to Sima Xun, neither intimacy nor alienation.

"I'm not a self-willed person. It's just that I have a life in my body and I dare not slack off. After several investigations by soldiers, since I know that you and I are Chinese envoys, at least I should send a boat to lead the way. Save a lot of trouble."

Sima Xun still couldn't help complaining a few words, and when he saw that Li Chong was not interested in talking, he felt that this man was really a coward, who went out of the capital on a mission, and dared not even make a small appeal.

However, Sima Xun still held back his contempt for the secret fate he was carrying this time, exchanged a few words with Li Chong, and then brought the topic to Shen's son-in-law. Marquis Shen is handsome, but recently Yudu has also heard a lot of virtuous and famous people. I heard that brother Hongdu is a good guest of Marquis Shen, so he probably knows it well. I will meet the famous and wise men of Nanxiang later, and I have no lack of heart Huanxin, I would like to ask Brother Hongdu, what is Marquis Shen like? Is it true that he is as handsome as rumors?"

After Li Chong heard the words, he said with a smile: "I'm just looking at people with common eyes, and it's hard to measure the grandeur. The son-in-law is indeed a great talent, elegance and integrity, and can be regarded as an example of Jiang Biao. Especially with the style of ancient sages, please save me." Difficult and virtuous. Seeing him later, I will not be disappointed."

After Sima Xun heard the words, he sneered a lot in his heart, the style of ancient sages?How much to save the virtuous?It's nothing more than a dandy who is proud of his family and is lucky for a while. He has never met him, but he is almost forced to death by his minions if he offends him a little. Virtuous style to speak of!

Of course, he would not say these words out loud. After pondering for a while, he sighed: "Actually, I have a restless heart. When I entered the capital earlier, I had some quarrels with Marquis Shen's subordinates. This time I am entering the county as an envoy. I'm afraid that Marquis Shen will be far away from me in the past, if there is a rude answer at that time, I hope Brother Hongdu will remember the friendship of the same boat, and make a round of one or two."

After Li Chong heard the words, he was a little bit astonished. After a little questioning and understanding the whole story, he said with a smile: "It's just a small matter of soldiers competing for bravery. As long as it's not because of its own morality and rebellion, Pu She really doesn't have to worry about it." .The son-in-law has a comprehensive overview of everything, and may not keep these little things in mind."

After hearing the words, Sima Xun made a gesture of relief, chatted a few more gossiping words, inquired a little about the past of Marquis Shen, as a basis for guessing his temperament, and then got up and left.

The distance between Liangjun and Jiankang was not far. Although there was a lot of delay on the way, the envoy and his party arrived near Liangjun not long after nightfall.It's just that the sky is dark now, and the surrounding area of ​​the county is busy with passenger and cargo transportation, so the group was placed in a nearby camp near Tushui.

After entering the camp, Sima Xun did not feel sleepy. Although he was not lacking in courage, he was still excited and anxious when he thought that the drastic changes in Jiangdong's current situation would start with his plans, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.

He originally planned to have a long talk with Li Chonglou in order to deepen his understanding of the target, but the accommodations are far away from each other, it is not easy to meet directly in this military camp, so he sent his entourage to ask.

After a while, the entourage returned and said that Li Chong's place had been surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, and no one could approach him. It seemed that important people were visiting.

Sima Xun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, even though he wanted to get up to see him in person, after walking a few steps, he decided not to act rashly for the time being, and then sent his entourage to spy on it, and report back as soon as he found the situation.

After more than an hour, it was already past midnight. When Sima Xun was full of anxiety, the attendant returned to report. Li Chong was sending one person out of the camp, because there were too many guards around him, and it was hard to see who it was.

Hearing this, Sima Xun was able to roughly determine who the visitor was, hurried out of the barracks, and hurried towards Li Chong's direction.Halfway through the journey, he saw Li Chong returning to the barracks with several entourages, so he rushed to meet him and said with a forced smile, "Brother Hongdu doesn't sleep at night, but is there a distinguished guest?"

"Huh? Pu She hasn't rested yet?"

Li Chongzheng was walking while bowing his head in deep thought. After hearing Sima Xun's voice, he raised his head to see him, and said bluntly: "The son-in-law came to see him earlier, so I didn't say goodbye. I just left."

After Sima Xun heard the words, his face was full of regret: "I passed by Xianliang, my sleepiness is really a mistake!"

After complaining for a while, he said anxiously: "Brother Hongdu had a discussion with Marquis Shen, did you hear Marquis Shen dislike me?"

Li Chong seemed to be full of thoughts. He didn't react for a while when he heard this, but he remembered it after a while, and smiled: "Pu She don't need to worry about this, I also talked about Pu She with the son-in-law, and the son-in-law is not different. I just want to meet the newly naturalized talents if I have the opportunity. You don’t have to feel sorry for Pu She, you will see him when you enter the county tomorrow. It’s late at night, so it’s inconvenient to talk in depth, Pu She should go back to sleep early.”

After speaking, Li Chong left in a hurry.

Sima Xun looked at his back, but his mood was complicated. He was a little thankful that Shen Zhezi didn't blame him, and he was ashamed that the other party probably didn't take himself seriously at all!

In the early morning of the next day, some elite soldiers from the Liangjun city went out to the camp and led the envoy and his party into the county.The posture of greeting is not small, and it can be regarded as giving a lot of face.But Sima Xun was not happy because of this. He originally thought that the Huainan army should spend more time defending and preparing for the battle in Shouchun, and Liang County is very likely to be very empty.

But what I saw along the way was quite a lot of soldiers and soldiers, and what I could see alone was thousands of people.This also made him a little disappointed. It seems that it is very difficult to find a fortune in Liangjun City, so he can only hope that he will be on the way and completely obey the arrangement of the instigator.This unavoidably made him a little regretful. He couldn't complete the task better, and it was really not enough to show his courage and ability.

Outside the gate of the county government office, a group of officials were already waiting here.Sima Xun took a look, and saw the young general who was surrounded by people, who was really a bit too much.But from the appearance, it is as rumored, it is indeed handsome, even though it is in military uniform, it does not damage the elegance, but has an unforgettable demeanor.

But Sima Xun didn't have a good impression of him, not to mention the old grievances that he was almost trapped and killed by his minions, the fact that at his age he commands an army of tens of thousands, and such a high position makes it even more embarrassing. The viewer feels ashamed of himself.

This also exacerbated Sima Xun's ardent desire to stand out. The other party is just a southern hero, but he can still go so far. As a remnant of the imperial family, how could he be willing to fall behind for a long time!
He strode forward, dozens of well-dressed people followed behind him, and before he approached, a sense of majesty rushed towards him.There are many elite soldiers guarding nearby, even if Sima Xun is proud of his bravery, he dare not make delusional thoughts at this moment.

"Brother Hongdu used to work hard, and we are really lucky for each other. If you come half a day late, I will leave the county to go to Huai, so I will miss it."

Shen Zhezi walked forward, first took Li Chong's hand and said with a smile, then turned to look at Sima Xun and nodded slightly, and said: "I have heard the name of Pu She in Bianjun. The northern land is cruel, and it is difficult for those who wear it to wear it." Jieyi is independent. Although Jiangbiao is far away from home and customs, but Wang Hua Zhongxing is here, the foundation of her husband's achievements, and her Taoist heart has never been alone."

Even if Sima Xun had prejudice against Shen Zhezi for a long time, when he actually met him face to face, he couldn't help feeling that the words and smiles of the other party really made people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

A group of people went back to the county mansion, and when they were introduced to each other at the banquet, Sima Xun couldn't help being more impressed by the power of the Shen family in Jiangdong.

Earlier in the capital, he would go to various houses to beg him, but now, those families who rejected him with arrogance are mostly the guests of this son-in-law.During the conversation, there was no lack of flattery in his eyebrows and demeanor, but he was not ashamed, as if he had long been used to it.

While Sima Xun was still thinking about it, Shen Zhezi, who was sitting at the table, had already said, "I have heard about the reason why you are here. Slaves and soldiers from poor countries came south, and Jiang Biao was shaken. It is inevitable to think deeply about state affairs, and it is really kind and loving to send an envoy to ask questions."

"In fact, Taiwan is not alone in internal confusion, and even the county is not lacking in turmoil. I know that I am young and look down, and even if I am poor, it may not be able to make people feel stable. However, age is just a mediocre opinion. Stone thief is nothing but In Wuxiang in the north, there are a lot of humble households, who are vicious and murderous, and they harass the Central Plains, and the disrespectful and shameless people compete for their gates."

"Brother Hongdu entered the county today. He was ordered by Taiwan to ask questions. He was supposed to go to the court immediately for training, but the military affairs are too urgent to make time. I also take this opportunity to respectfully tell the king, Taifu and the sages of the world. The responsibility of the country is very important, and I dare not have my life for private purposes. A strong man will never die in a hundred battles;

At this point, Shen Zhezi had already stood up, pressed his sword and looked around at the crowd, and then said loudly: "Ten years of sharpening the sword, just to kill thieves. Jin Zuo survives and dies in this battle! The battle is imminent, and I dare not say victory , but to defend the Huai River to the death, as long as I have a piece of armor in Huainan, I will not let the slaves ride across the river!"

　This scene was conceived when the book was opened, and it was finally written, which is not easy. . .
