These people in southern Hebei can generally imagine that the results of this worship will not be too good, but Shen Mu is so unkind, it still exceeds their original expectations.

If they didn't want to accept such a harsh request from Shen Mu, maybe they had another way, that is, to stop contacting Wang Shi, and wait for Shi Hu, the lord of Qian, to lead his army south, or simply report to the state of Huang what they had noticed, so as to urge the state to counterattack as soon as possible.

But in this way, it is tantamount to completely tearing his face with Wang Shi. And as Shen Mu said, the country of Qian is also not a good thing, even if they return to southern Hebei, they will not end well. According to the temperament of the Lord Shi Hu, in order to eliminate the bad impact of the previous defeat, it is very likely that they will be doubly brutally oppressed.

What's more, even if the army of Shihu came south, judging from the previous battle in Henan, it may not be possible for the state of Liang to turn defeat into victory and drive the Jin army back to Hebei. It is very likely that the two sides will confront each other and attack each other in the southern Hebei region, and a stalemate will be settled.

In the final analysis, it was Wang Shi's great battle to annihilate the Shixuan Department of the State of Xuan, which was too shocking. The difference in strength between the two sides seems to be, and because the Jin army lost the first move, they will fall behind, but after a big battle, the state of Jin was beaten to the point of no resistance, and the image of Wang Shi's strong and invincible has been erected in their hearts, and they dare not have any more hostile thoughts or behaviors against Wang Shi.

These people have been under the rule of the state for a long time, and for them, the appeal of the so-called same culture and the same species, and the legal system of Jin Zuo is still far less convincing than this absolutely powerful and fierce force.

Therefore, after the initial struggle, they still did not dare to oppose Shen Mu's request in person, as for whether they would abide by it in the future, they probably had to wait and see how fierce Shen Mu would be, or if the lord Shihu did not recapture southern Hebei, they would finally decide to fulfill a few points.

So, except for the unlucky plain Jiang Lu, the rest of the villagers bowed their heads, got up and resigned, and said that they would do their best to raise materials and donate money after returning to their hometowns.

Seeing that those villagers had no intention of asking for him, and they didn't even look at him anymore, the despair on Jiang Lu's face couldn't help but become even stronger, and as for whether he regretted that he shouldn't have come to see him carelessly, outsiders didn't know.

In fact, if it is said that this Jiang Lu is looking for death, it is not necessarily true. Although he knew that his foundation was very trendy, he felt that the army of the Jin Kingdom was about to come south, and the Jin army's Wang Division had not yet gained a firm foothold in southern Hebei, so he should also urgently need support from the local villages.

In his opinion, this is where his family's opportunity lies, and to surrender at such a delicate moment, even if it requires a big loss of family assets, it can greatly wash away his family's old inferiority. But Shen Mu is arrogant and unreasonable, not only does he want to aggressive his family wealth, but he doesn't even plan to let go of his entire family's life!

Shen Mu didn't give that Jiang Lu a chance to speak again, and directly ordered someone to take him into custody, and sent a warrant to the people all the way in the plain realm to immediately rush to the Jiang family's hometown and attack and destroy his house.

After that, Shen Mu also went out of this Buddhist temple, and instructed the attaché to dismantle many absurd and evil artifacts in the Buddhist temple, and then turn this place into a warehouse military camp to store the money, food, and materials that were later levied from various counties.

Seeing the scattered people in the southern Hebei township, Shen Mu thought about it, and then asked him to call that Qinghe Cui Zhen again and invite him to return to the Xingguojin military camp.

Cui Zhen's Qinghe Cui clan has long been decadent, so Cui Zhen does not have the worries that other villagers are facing at the moment. Hearing Shen Dudu's invitation, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly walked back to join Shen Mu's team.

This Cui Zhen is not good at riding horses, so Shen Mu also accommodated him and boarded a carriage to invite him to accompany him.

Cui Zhen sat in the carriage tremblingly, not to mention the Shamen in the temple that he had seen before who was tortured by cutting off his belly and died tragically, just what he saw just now, in previous years, those villagers who were arrogant in their respective townships were as obedient as quails in front of this Shen Dudu, and they were silent, and they couldn't help but realize more deeply the Luoyang Xingtai and the power of this Shen Dudu.

Shen Mu asked a few more about the Cui clan's relatives, when he was in Luoyang earlier, the general and several relatives of his family also mentioned that they wanted to help Cui Hui choose a clan relative Shaoxian as his heir.

Shen Mu didn't pay much attention to this, and he and Cui Huiben didn't have a lot of friendship, so what to say about accepting Huijiao and the like was just polite. But thinking that if it really happens in the future, there will be some small and small involvement, so I simply paved the way for a while.

"The land of Hebei has been abused for a long time, and many Chinese people are not prosperous because of the world, but it is not the fault of the children of the family. Military affairs aside, my family and the Zun Mansion can also be regarded as in-law portals. Since there are no outsiders at this moment, I will not shy away from Cui Jun with some words. ”

After another moment, Shen Mu's attitude became serious: "Since Master Wang has crossed the river, there is no reason to turn around and return, and after that, the southern Hebei realm will definitely prosper." And the former residence of the Zunfu in Tobu City, there is actually no strategy at the moment. Those townsmen invited you to come to see me, which shows that the friendship between the two relatives is no longer private in Hebei. Later, the army may use this to harass the Zun Mansion, and Wang Shi may not be able to take care of it for a while. ”

When Cui Zhen heard this, his mood also became a little nervous. In fact, he had vaguely heard of this kinship before, but it was really not very clear how it was. And speaking of which, in fact, before meeting Shen Dudu, Cui Zhen and the others of the Cui clan were not very keen to talk about this matter.

Although the Wuxing Shen clan is in the southern country of Xuanhe, Hebei is still the territory of the Shi clan of the Qianguo State, and it is difficult for their native Cui clan to benefit from this, and they often talk about it, but they may cause trouble.

Another point is that compared with the Cui family, the Shen family is only a new door in Jiangdong after all, but it is not a glorious thing for their Cui family's concubine to be committed to being a new concubine.

For example, Cui Zhen, who is a little younger and has almost no impression of his cousin Cui Hui, is in a state of decay and has no ambition, and he doesn't have much feeling about it. But some of the older elders in the clan occasionally talked about it, and they wanted to blame Cui Hui for not being able to keep his body upright and doing such a stupid thing of self-inflicted humiliation. It is precisely because of this that when those township tyrants came to the door, some old people in the Cui family refused to come forward, but Cui Zhen, the younger generation, went to the scene.

Cui Zhen's trip, not only realized the power of Xingtai and Wang Shi, but also realized that his family was not completely indifferent to the relationship with Cui's family, and his heart couldn't help but be more hot.

At this moment, when he heard Shen Mu talk about this festival, he hurriedly said: "The township has been dilapidated for a long time, and the lintel is only maintained. This time, I came to see the emperor in a hurry, and I also had the high hopes of my relatives, and begged the governor to have mercy, and lured my clan relatives to leave this chaotic area of benevolence and righteousness, and return to righteousness in the south......"

Hearing Cui Zhen say this, Shen Mu smiled and nodded, he didn't have a good impression of this Cui Zhen, and felt that he had neither the pragmatic talent of the world, nor the so-called big clan edification, but he was not completely self-aware, and he still had a little bit of interest.

"Since your family also has such traces, then I am not a strong man, I will send a traveling division later, follow Cui Jun back to his hometown to pick up his family, and then stay in Jinkou for the time being, and after I ask the general, I will arrange for you to cross the river into Luo."

Speaking of this, Shen Mu's expression became serious again: "Cui Jun can come to see me, I am really relieved, I should have been entertained with personal affection." But you came with a group of villagers in southern Hebei, I actually don't like it in my heart. You and I have two families, and we have our own in-laws and private relationships. However, Wang Shi's Northern Expedition used all kinds of things, all of which were related to the glorious cause of reviving Sheji and rebuilding China, and must not be confused with personal feelings! ”

"Your family is originally a surface family in Hebei, with a long old reputation, and no one dares to underestimate it when you walk north and south. However, the legacy of the ancestors and the protection of the family are by no means inexhaustible, and being cautious and self-denying is the reason why the children of the great sect do not lose their deeds and cherish the voice of their families. Mixing with those villagers who are traitorous is a foolish act. ”

Shen Mu raised his eyes to look at Cui Zhen, and his tone was a little more awe-inspiring: "Martial artists must be direct when they speak. What I said today, Cui Jun, whether you agree with it or not, or whether you can remember it, I will not force it. But one thing should be remembered, in the future, if there is a dilemma for the general, there is indeed no shortage of brave and righteous people who solve problems for the general! ”

These words were not subtle at all, and it could be said that they were not polite at all, so after listening to it, Cui Zhen's face suddenly flushed with anger, and he felt that Shen Mu was arrogant and almost unsightly. He wanted to refute a few words, but he really lacked confidence in his heart.

And after Shen Mu said this, he also closed his eyes, and by the way, he closed his eyes to recuperate. He naturally understood that he didn't like what he said, but he didn't plan to maintain any intimate relationship with this Cui Zhen or the Qinghe Cui clan behind him, and there was no need to take into account the other party's feelings when beating.

After the team marched into the Xingguojin camp, Shen Mu was still busy with many military affairs, and he casually sent a member of the army to be responsible for receiving Cui Zhen, and then left.

In this half-day scene, Cui Zhen's mood can be described as ups and downs, first because he learned that his uncle Cui Hui and Wuxing Shen have a close relationship, because he felt that this was an opportunity for the whole family, and then Shen Mu's unfriendly attitude made him feel uneasy, and he couldn't be sure whether the clan Nantou was good or bad.

But no matter what he thinks in his heart, it doesn't really matter. Their family, or the Qinghe Cui clan where Cui Zhen was born, has no more choices at the moment.

And listening to Shen Mu's words, he was very disgusted with his family and those township sect portals again, in other words, if his family did not move out according to Shen Mu's arrangement, he was afraid that he would lose at least the protection from Shen Mu, and he had no room for bargaining at all.
