The envoy sent by Chen Guang was named Gao Xi, a Confucian scholar in his thirties.

After seeing that Gao Xi, Shen Zhezi also had to sigh that there are indeed differences in the human customs and customs in various places. There are naturally Confucian scholars and other characters in Jiangdong, but from the spiritual outlook, you can feel that there is a clear difference from Jiangbei, Shen Zhezi saw in his early years in the capital, even if it is a young man who is studying in Guozijian and Taixue, he is more or less infected by the world, quite mysterious, and a little less solemn.

As Shen Zhezi became more and more famous at that time, although the young people in Jiangdong were restrained, they were martial and wore swords, but they still lacked a bit of elegance after all.

Although Jiangbei has experienced war for a long time, there is still no shortage of righteous people who claim to be upright, and even Xie Ai from Liangzhou has a bit of ancient Confucian style in both speech and style. Shen Zhezi is not blindly worshipping the ancients, but he also has to feel that Jiangdong's atmosphere is a little frivolous, and Jiangbei still has some traditions that can be maintained, or just on the skin, such as Chen Guang's messenger Gao Xi.

After all, in the local battlefield of Chenliu, the Huainan army is currently passive, while Chen Guang makes full use of the advantages of the terrain, even if he cannot achieve the final victory, he can maintain the current state of confrontation and wait for variables. So they really couldn't understand what kind of purpose Chen Guang was in sending the envoy here now, was it to show off his might?

Shen Zhezi was not very surprised by this, it happened that he was in Yuancheng right now, so he decided to meet this Chen Guang's envoy in person, and retired a group of generals, leaving only Han Huang and a few people such as Jiang Yu and Xie Ai who came with him.

This year, Huainan's strategic concept is extremely grand, almost plotting half of the Central Plains, and although Chenliujun is only a local battlefield, it is a precursor to other battlefields. At present, the war is obviously unfavorable, and even if the rhythm of the subsequent battle is to be adjusted, it will not be completed overnight. Therefore, Shen Zhezi still has to stay in Yucheng for a few days, so there is no need to rush to make a hasty decision on the next changes, after all, the Huainan Army was in a hurry before.

Therefore, before making a decision, listening to the purpose of Chen Guang's envoy's arrival will also help to make the next trade-offs and trade-offs.

However, before officially meeting this Gao Xi, Shen Zhezi actually had some guesses about his intentions. Chen Guang seems to have an advantage at the moment, but in fact, he is still at an absolute disadvantage on the whole. This contrast between strength and weakness is different from the disparity in strength between the Huainan army and the Qianhu army in the early years, even if Shen Zhezi was defeated in the early years, at least there was a retreat from Jiangdong.

However, Chen Guang had no room for strategic maneuver at all, he was only struggling to survive between the two major forces, and even if he had a small upper hand in the battle with the Huainan army, it was not enough to accumulate it into a qualitative change that turned the tide. If the Huainan Army really wants to eradicate him at any cost, he really doesn't have much room to struggle, and Shi Kan or Peach Leopard is not enough to be a strong backup for him to trust his life.

So for Chen Guang, the way out is nothing more than two directions. After demonstrating his strength, he either hoped that the Huainan Army wanted to solve him at a relatively small cost, and used this as a bargaining chip to negotiate a truce with the Huainan Army and strive for a certain degree of autonomy. Either continue to exert the trouble he has caused to the Huainan army, so as to show Shi Kan his energy in exchange for assistance.

So this Gao Xi came to ask for a meeting, most likely to negotiate peace.

As Shen Zhezi expected, Gao Xi came to visit, not alone, but also brought the corpses of the Huainan Army soldiers who were besieged and killed in the previous battle. These corpses are still well preserved, there is no trace of torture to vent the anger of the corpses, and even the armor on the corpses and the soldiers they carry with them are basically well preserved.

Such a gesture, on the one hand, is naturally a show of goodwill or paralysis of the Huainan Army, and on the other hand, there is also a sense of demonstration, indicating that Chen Guang not only has no lack of fighting spirit when facing the Huainan Army, but also has excellent combat effectiveness.

This move naturally made the Huainan army in the large camp extremely angry, and the officers and soldiers of the Huainan army who were in charge of receiving the corpse were almost completely blinded, and almost cut off this Gao Xi by inch.

However, Shen Zhezi was in the camp, so he naturally would not condone the senseless anger of the soldiers, and even ordered the generals to temporarily retire in order to create a relatively relaxed meeting atmosphere, in order to be able to learn more about Chen Guangbu's current mentality and feelings through Gao Xi.

was directly summoned by Shen Zhezi in the Huainan Army camp, this Gao Xi was obviously a little surprised, after all, even if Shen Zhezi's itinerary was not deliberately concealed, it would never be publicized to everyone.

After being stunned for a moment, Gao Xi solemnly stepped forward to worship Shen Zhezi, and at the same time couldn't help but look curiously at this young man who was much younger than himself but had already ranked among the honorable people of Fang Bo, and even decided the blessings and misfortunes of their Chen Liuren beings, but his tone was not a little slacking off because of this: "Chen Liu's ugly scholar Gao Xi, meet the Governor of Huainan Shen." Chen Gong's dismissal, I don't know that Shen Dudu is here to inspect, because he is polite and slow, and he hopes that Shen Dudu will not be guilty. ”

"Gao Jun doesn't need to be polite, Chen Guang is admittedly guilty, but it is by no means arrogant or anything like that. Now that the two parties are not good, Gao Jun does not have to be polite, he might as well go straight to his senses. ”

Shen Zhezi motioned to the soldiers in the tent to bring Gao Xi into the banquet, and then pointed to the other party and said with a smile to Jiang Yu in the side seat: "Si Xuan knows or doesn't know, this Gao Jun is also your friend of Sangzi in Yucheng, and his ancestors are the late Wei Liangchen and the elder Gao Yuangong Gao Taiwei. ”

The so-called Gao Yuangong is Gao Rou, the former minister of Cao Wei, if Cao Cao is also counted in it, it can be said that he is a veteran of the six dynasties of Cao Wei, who lived to be more than ninety years old, and did not die until the late Wei Emperor Cao Huan, who was much more able to survive than Sima Yi, Emperor Xuan of the Jin Dynasty.

The Gao clan in Yucheng is also a gateway with a high reputation in Chenliu County, but when it came to Gao Rou's grandson, Gao Tao, because he participated in the killing of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, he was defeated and completely evil in Yuefu. Therefore, this Gao clan naturally did not follow Nandu, but stayed in the land of Chenliu.

Although his family did not have famous people at that time, the local roots were not shallow, such as the Gao family near Yucheng and the Gao Fort occupied by the Huainan army in Pizezhong, which was named after this Gao family name. This Chen Liugao clan is also Chen Guang's main supporter in Chen Liujun.

Jiang Yu himself is a native of Yuancheng, and he is no stranger to this fellow villager Wangzong. Hearing Shen Zhezi's laughter, he said with emotion: "There is no lack of friendship between the father and the ancestors of Gaojun in the family, and I have heard about it since I was a child, but unfortunately the world is chaotic now, the nostalgia is long, and the good family is not knowing each other, which is really sad." ”

After Gao Xi heard this, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Yu a few more times, Chen Liu's news was naturally not as accessible as Huainan, and there were many subordinate officials in the Huainan Governor's Mansion, and Jiang Yu had been preaching in Huainan for a long time, so this Gao Xi couldn't guess his identity by Jiang Yu's words.

But when he heard the other party say this, he also casually followed the words and said a few perfunctory words, and sorted out his thoughts by the way. After all, although there was a case before, I didn't know that Shen Zhezi was here in person, and many of the arguments prepared before were not easy to say in front of Shen Zhezi, after all, the identity of the object was different.

Shen Zhezi didn't have much psychological pressure, not to mention that this Gao Xi was just Gao Rou's great-grandson, even if Gao Rou came by himself, he would at most sigh a few words that the old guy was really hard, and he wouldn't look at it differently, not to mention that this Gao family was one of the township sect gates that he would inevitably clean up after sweeping away Chen Guang's forces.

"The king of Huainan ordered the martyrs to die at the hands of the traitors, thank you Gao Jun for collecting the bones of the martyrs and returning them, and when the matter is over, there will be a reward."

When Gao Xi heard Shen Zhezi say this, his face suddenly became ugly, and his family was exactly what he said to be a traitor. I didn't expect this Shen Dudu to be so aggressive when he opened his mouth, Gao Xidang snorted coldly and said: "What Shen Dudu said is biased, the royal road is declining, and Shenzhou is in trouble. In previous years, there were many thieves who plundered the countryside and abused the people, but they swore to defend the countryside with the sword in their hands. This time, there were thieves raiding the countryside and disturbing the township, because they repaid them with death, and only later did they find out that it was the Shen Du Governor's subordinates......"

"Wang Shi was ordered to go north to kill Hu, and the people were like Mu Ganlin. All those who are not against the liver and courage have heard of it. Since Gao Jun knows that he made a big mistake, I think you will send the soldiers back to the heroic corpse, spare your life today, and return to your hometown to die. ”

Shen Zhezi sneered when he heard this, and naturally there was no need to be polite to this Gao Xi.

When Gao Xi heard this, his face turned red with anger, his teeth were even more clenched, and his eyes were full of anger and looked directly at Shen Zhezi.

However, Shen Zhezi ignored him at all, and just lowered his head and read a file carefully. Xie Ai sat close to Shen Zhezi, and naturally he could see that the file in his hand was blank, and when he saw Gao Xi's angry but forced self-pressing, he could be regarded as seeing the other side of the horse.

Gao Xi was already so angry that he was almost out of control, but he could still retain some reason, he took a long breath before he spoke again: "I often hear that Shen Dudu has long been famous as a Chinese scholar, I am courteous today, why are you so arrogant?" I'm afraid that this doesn't match the reputation, right? ”

"Generously going to hardship, heroically killing thieves, and his life can still be abandoned, what is the pity of being famous?"

Shen Zhezi's tone was still flat, but these words fell on Gao Xi's ears, which was like adding fuel to the fire, and his tone even changed slightly: "There is just a group of remnants of the disaster in the township, who survived and survived, and never thought of harming people, but suffered from the chaos of the world for a long time, but I want to ask Shen Dudu where the thief is in his eyes?" ”

"The people are happy and impeccable. The heavy life of the king's division and the fingers of the soldiers, all those who obstruct are thieves. ”

Gao Xi could also feel that Shen Zhezi was deliberately humiliating to provoke his anger, his fists in his sleeves were clenched frequently, and it took a while before he chuckled: "Shen Dudu is a young man and a hero, and he is honestly strong." It's just that the world is hard, and China and North Korea stand side by side, and it is still difficult to stop the universal disaster. The meritocracy of the ancestor still abandons the achievements of the pendulum. Shen Dudu relied on Huainan bravery, and he usually suffered in the countryside, I really don't know why Shen Dudu laughed and insulted his ancestors! ”

"This is a good saying, in fact, I don't know why, or I am convinced that there are still Zhuxia heroes in this world, so let's try it, it is nothing more than donating this body, and I am ashamed to wear it for a day with the destruction of the crown and belt, and the evil seed of the left slave. Success or not, for the time being, just vow not to coexist. ”

When Shen Zhezi said this, he finally put down the blank dossier and looked up at Gao Xi: "Shenzhou Lu Shen, the group of Hu is surrounded by inside, in the autumn of China's peril, there are still unscrupulous species because of the slave situation vainly seeking non-division, the pain of carbuncle, there is no time for careful diagnosis, only endure the pain of cutting, and invigorate Yu Lie to kill Hu Lu in anger." Gao Jun, please go back, listen to my words and tell the villagers, Chen Guang will not die, the soldiers will not stop, if you want to survive, abandon the thief immediately. Otherwise, under the blade of the king's master, there will be no living mouth! ”
