Shen Zhezi's suggestion was not a whim, in fact, when thinking about the Jingzhou issue, he had always had such a plan.

A considerable part of the reason why the political situation in Jiangdong has always been complicated and entangled lies in the division of military power. Jing Yang confrontation, Jing Xu confrontation, and Jing Jiang confrontation, the four major lords alternately govern, no matter which one has been able to obtain a complete military power, in times of crisis or can seek common ground while reserving differences, tolerate each other for the country, but once the pressure on the north is slightly relaxed, the struggle will become the main theme.

Yu Yi is worried that he will not be able to follow the conventional way to take charge of Jingzhou, which is very reasonable, but the main reason is not that he is not worthy or has low popularity, but because the distribution of military power in the entire Jiangdong itself has gradually become unbalanced, which is quite a hidden danger.

The newly built town of Huainan has sprung up, because it has almost the entire Wu group behind it, continuously providing food and equipment, and shining in the war last year, even if the strength is still insufficient in the short term, but the high growth can not be ignored.

As for Xuzhou, since it could not be condensed into a complete whole, and Xi Jian's political position had been lost, and militarily it was more and more subordinate to Huainan. Therefore, today's Xuzhou no longer has the ability to monitor Sanwu.

After the Huaishang War, the Shen family has repeatedly played triumphant songs in politics, in addition to the fact that Shen Chong's father and son are quite outstanding, what is more important is that there is no hard power in Taiwan that can check and balance and suppress the Shen family's military power. This is also the most important reason why Shen Zhezi must solve Wang Shu in Jiangzhou before the official Northern Expedition, only in this way can the manpower and material resources invested by the Shen family in the north and the results achieved be transformed into a force that can be mastered to the greatest extent.

Therefore, who Jingzhou belongs to in the future is the most important event that determines the future trend of Jiangdong's current situation. In this case, don't talk about Yu Yi, even if Yu Liang is resurrected, as long as he does not completely break with the Shen Wu people, it is impossible to get Taichung Gong to take charge of Jingzhou. Because today's Jingzhou has become the only hope to be able to balance the Shen family and the Wu people!

Shen Zhezi knew very well in his heart that if he followed the official channels of the resolution in Taiwan, the people who would take charge of Jingzhou in the future would inevitably have a bad relationship with the Wu people, and even hated the Wu people. Only in this way can the political situation in Jiangdong once again be restored to balance and return to the distant track.

And Shen Zhezi also knew that as long as he still wanted to take the lead in the Northern Expedition, he would never allow such a situation to happen, and he must make Jingzhou a friendly party. In the future, Jiangdong must no longer fall into the situation of internal strife and attrition. Otherwise, Huaishang's great opportunity for a big victory and a great chaos in the slave country will only be missed in vain.

Similar situations are not uncommon. For example, in the later battle of Weishui in the original history, although the subsequent Northern Expedition achieved certain results, as Xie An withdrew from the ruling sequence with the spirit of high wind and bright festivals, he failed to fully use the excellent opportunity of the collapse of the former Qin.

It is true that in terms of personal style, Xie Anqi is impeccable, but from a political perspective, his concession can be said to have indirectly caused the demise of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, the Xie family actually had the opportunity to integrate Jing Yang's military power, because Huan Chong, the head of the Huan family, died soon after the Battle of Weishui, and the Xie family was in full swing. But Xie An did not get rid of the ruling idea of "Jing Yang is balanced, and the world is peaceful", and ruled the three states with three Huan.

After the battle of Weishui, the former Qin collapsed, Zhuhu quarreled endlessly, a large number of displaced people in the north poured south, and the power of the border towns surged, and then gave birth to the last clan power of the Sima family, Taiyuan Wang Gong twice in a row contacted Fang Zhen to raise troops to crusade against Sima Daozi, the king of Huiji, and Liu Jiaozhi, a fierce general with great achievements, could only become a bargaining chip and a victim of the struggle. Huan Xuan raised troops to usurp the Jin, and also relied on the flow of militia from Yongzhou and other places at that time.

In the next period of time, due to the turmoil in the north and the increase in the number of displaced people, all the towns in the north will inevitably have a period of strength growth, so once they fall into internal fighting, the intensity will be extremely high, and it is very likely that they will get out of control, resulting in the subsequent Northern Expedition plan dying halfway through.

In such a situation, even if he used extraordinary means, Shen Zhezi would never allow Jingzhou to become a vicious force, and he wanted to keep the towns in Jiangbei consistent with the tone of the outside world.

Of course, even if it is through normal channels, it is possible for Yu Yi to take charge of Jingzhou. After all, now that the overseas Chinese in Yuzhou are gradually improving, and the Yu family is the mother of the queen mother after all, Yu Yi is in charge of Jingzhou, which is also in line with certain political logic, but the premise is that Yu Yi must abandon the Shen family, an old ally.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi did not give Yu Yi a chance to face this dilemma at all, and directly proposed to seize Jingzhou by force. Such a plan will undoubtedly increase the risks that Yu Yi himself needs to face, so Shen Zhezi also has to explain these things clearly to Yu Yi.

"Tao Gong's departure has been decided, and the weight of Jingzhou's division of Shaanxi must have been included in the calculations of each family, and there is no tolerance for concessions, and it may not be decided in the short term. However, the chaos in the north has been decided, and it is a good opportunity for all the kings and divisions to advance bravely, and if the ownership of Jingzhou is hesitant, the situation in the border areas will change dramatically. Extraordinary times, extraordinary measures. If you want a quick decision, you must first go down to the city, and then report to the center. ”

Shen Zhezi first talked about the reason for doing this, and after Yu Yi heard this, he was also unmoved.

He is a person who is good at scheming and lacking the bearing of seriousness, otherwise he would not have compared himself to Ban Dingyuan in order to prevent Shen Chong from making trouble, so his reputation is not high. He is also very aware of his own flaw, and if he wants to be recognized by Taifu as the head of Jingzhou, the chance is really slim, and even if he can succeed, it will take a lot of time.

Seeing that Yu Yi was about to speak, Shen Zhezi said again: "This matter is very important, and there are no lack of risks in it. Although Tao Gong showed goodwill, whether he was still at peace with the world is still between the two. The situation in Jingzhou is complicated, there may not be no hidden piles lurking, if Tao Gong is not there, the uncle is single into the town, it is inevitable that it will be single, and it will be difficult to control the public. ”

There is more than one family that has plans for Jingzhou, for example, Chu Yu sent his cousin Chu Jiye to Wuchang as a taishou early in the morning. And the Langya Wang clan actually still exists in Jingzhou. Shen Zhezi really couldn't be sure whether Tao Kan was still alive or not, after all, Tao Hong had been away from the town for many days, and even if there was news, it was a long time ago.

Moreover, Shen Zhezi was not sure whether Tao Kan had informed other parties of the news. Therefore, it is possible whether it is safe for Yu Yi to go to Jingzhou this time, whether he will be intercepted and killed halfway, or assassinated in the town. Even if he succeeds in entering the town, without Tao Kan's cooperation, it will be very difficult to take over military and political affairs.

In addition to personal safety, the political risks of doing so are also enormous: "This risky trip preceded the king's mandate after all. Therefore, even if he enters the town to take charge, what to discuss in the coming day, and why the Tainan will complain about his uncle, will be a long-term trouble. Although I dare to take risks, I still have to think deeply about how to choose. ”

After Yu Yi heard this, he was also silent for a long time, and after a long while, he laughed at himself: "The safety of my life, or the praise and disapproval of the reputation, is a small section for me. I know that this is not the choice of the times, and if I rely on the fate of Taiwan, the result is not optimistic. I am not greedy for the weight of Shaanxi, if it is purely talented, even the old Yuzhou is reluctant. But as Wei Zhou said, the great victory in Huaishang in the old year is a good opportunity for Wang Shi to advance bravely. If you still have to cling to the battle for fame and position inside and outside, you will really live up to the blessing of heaven. ”

"In the past years, the eldest brother deacon was tired of the people of Jiangdong, and it was difficult to pay for this crime, so he could only use his life to comfort the public, and he did not dare to be cowardly, but he only wanted to live up to the wishes of the people. Tao Gong's old honor is brilliant, I don't dare to say anything about it, but if I can use the stupid quality to quell the Jiangdong name dispute, I will definitely not be able to shirk! ”

When Shen Chong heard this, he interjected and said: "Uncle doesn't have to be sad about this, born in this world, in fact, who is not reluctant to work?" There is no shortage of virtuous people in China and the DPRK, but they are not respectful to their duties and are not sincere in their work, and as a result, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the people are crying blood. Even if my generation is not virtuous, but can have the idea of prudence and scrupulousness, even if it can't revive the society, but it can also be maintained in the old state, a hundred years later, there are children to succeed, and the long-cherished wish can finally be achieved! ”

Hearing that his father was relieved by the gesture of his confidant brother, the corners of Shen Zhezi's mouth trembled, and he continued: "Since my uncle dares to choose difficulties, I naturally can't sit back and watch my uncle fight alone. Now it's boring to stay in the capital, and when my uncle goes west, I will also quickly return to the town, rectify the armor, and then jump into Runan, and then look at Nanyang. At that time, we will advance in the Central Plains, even if there are shortcomings, not enough long-term worries. ”

"To have Wei Zhou to help me, this trip has been decided. No matter how people look at me at the time, if I can benefit the community, I naturally have no reason to retreat! ”

Yu Yi finally crossed his heart and asserted.

Now that the decision has been made, it is natural to start it as soon as possible. Yu Yi also needed to gather a group of cronies, so he left the Shen family in a hurry. Shen Zhezi quickly ordered someone to inform the people of Liang County to move westward and gather with Yu Yi outside the capital. Shen Chong was also not idle, and after discussing some details with his son at home, he returned to Taicheng to negotiate with Taichung with full of morale.

Yu Yi left the capital to the west and sneaked into Jingzhou without permission, if this matter is revealed, you can imagine how much waves it will set off in the current situation. Under such circumstances, Shen Zhezi really couldn't stay in the capital for a long time, and he might not be able to leave calmly if he delayed any longer, so he temporarily gave up other requirements and agreed to King Wuling to go to Liang County, in exchange for the support of Zhuge Hui, and finally won the most important opening of the mansion.

Once the ministry was agreed, Shen Zhezi didn't even have time to stay in the capital to preside over the division of Dingcang, so he could only leave it to his father. After Shen Yun got married, he immediately pulled up a group of people from Huainan and almost fled across the river to the north.
