1189 The Karma Army struggled
Shen Mu's statement that he is in charge of the military affairs of the three states is actually an exaggeration. The Taishan County he is currently guarding was originally the only place in the three states where the shape was victorious, and there were also several kings and horns in the realm.
For people from all walks of life, Shen Mu only had temporary supervision and adjustment power, such as when Shi Zhao's army swept south of Qingzhou, he only did his own thing in ordinary times, and there was no clear subordination from top to bottom.
Of course, such a boast is not groundless, after all, the lower reaches of the Yellow River, where Qingzhou is located, were originally an independent war zone, and once a war broke out in this war zone, Shen Mu was the first person in charge. From this point of view, Xie Yi, who guards Tongguan, is indeed slightly inferior to Shen Mu.
In fact, the generals of the king's division, the most powerful is Xie Ai, who is the head of the fang. Even in terms of military strength, Xie Ai himself often used fake festivals, and had independent expropriation rights, so he could launch an attack on Hebei at any time without waiting for the approval of the authorities. This is not only out of practical needs, but also because Xingtai recognizes Xie Ai's ability enough.
Of course, friends belittle each other, where do you care about these details, the fact is that Shen Mu is indeed the first person in his generation, and he is still a little reserved in front of unfamiliar people, and he naturally does not have these particularities in front of Xie Yi and others, especially when he was tricked for a whole day full of resentment, several people slept together at night, and the entire camp was still full of Shen Mu's cynicism towards the other two.
As long as the prescribed field training tasks can be completed, the complexity and simplicity will be arranged by the main general. The reason why Xie Yi wanted to pull his troops out of the old Luo Military City and station in Yanshi was also because he knew that Shen Mu would report on his work in Luo in the near future. Several people depreciated each other, although there was no room for it, but the friendship between birth and death and suffering together was also great.
On the third day, the report of the tiger prison also arrived in Luoyang, and the news that Shen Mu had entered the customs spread one after another, so from the afternoon, old acquaintances went to the military camp where the northern hillside was located to welcome them.
Shen Mu stood outside the gate and personally greeted these friends who came to greet him, laughing so much that his back molars were looming.
Seeing that many good friends came out to greet him, the resentment he suffered in Xie Yijun's army last night was gone, grinning and patting Shen Yun, who was standing behind him with a dark green in the corner of his eyes, and laughed: "Xie Wuyi, that stupid thing can wipe out my reputation in the world by just pretending to be cold, and today you will stare at your brother's reputation for nothing!" I'm not too keen on these gifts of greeting and sending, you should also take the eldest brother as a flaunt, don't be too noisy, feel at ease, get the best, and praise yourself! ”
When Shen Yun heard this unconcealable teasing, the corners of his mouth almost drooped under his chin to show disdain, and at the same time sneered: "In previous years, you didn't leave the town, just worried that those floating deeds would spread to all directions, and you would reprimand your relatives." ”
After Shen Mu heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, but before he could refute, more than a dozen people came on the other side, and the leader was Ji You and Xiao Yuandong, who also returned to Luo to recuperate.
Seeing these people coming, Shen Mu smiled even more, strode up to meet the others and ignored the others first, and said to Ji You from afar: "I returned to Luo this time, and I was determined to go to the mansion to visit, but I didn't want to enter the city yet, but I actually asked my relatives to come out to greet me, which is really too polite." ”
Ji You's face was not good, but after hearing this, his face turned even darker, and he gave up his hand a little after getting off the horse, and didn't say anything else.
On the other side, Xiao Yuandong laughed when he saw this scene, pointed at Shen Mu and said, "How did this pro-contract come about, don't you know?" Ji Wenwen has already been so annoyed that he has broken his liver and intestines, and you still have to preach it in front of people. ”
As soon as these words came out, some people around him who knew the inside story burst into laughter. The Shen and Ji families formed a friendship in the early years when the elder of the country taught General Shen, and they also helped each other for many years. According to the current world style, it is normal for the children of the two families to get married, and Shen Mu's son and the little mother of Ji You's family are also hugged for about a while.
In fact, as early as that year, the two parents had the intention of getting married, but at that time, the two children were young, so they postponed the discussion. After Su Jun's rebellion, Shen Mu took in many unruly ladies in the chaos, although his intentions were kind, but he also got the name of a lustful Meng Lang.
In the days when his reputation was the most notorious, Shen Mu was also worried that his notoriety might affect his son, so he agreed with a few bad friends to ask Ji You out to get drunk, and took the opportunity to sign a marriage letter to finalize the matter. Although it is a game, with the respective reputations of the two companies, there will naturally be no more remorse.
was mentioned by the loss friend that these young people were ridiculous, not to mention that Ji You's face was darker, Shen Mu was also a little embarrassed for a while, and said with a smile: "Looking at this world, the parents' hearts are the purest. My court is surrounded by a group of children, and although they are all young, it is sad to think about how they will fit in the future. The bitterness and happiness in it are really not known to those like you who are still thin in blood. ”
When he said this, he was somewhat angry. Of course, everyone is in the prime of life, and they will not be sad because of this, but when they heard Shen Mu's words about the group of children, they were indeed full of envy.
Most of the people present are in their prime, and although they are busy, they are not so busy that they don't even have time to give birth. For example, Ji You is already three sons and two daughters, Xiao Yuandong is less, and he already has two daughters and one son, and even Shen Yun is already a child now. But among everyone, putting aside Shen Mu, even Xie Yi, who has the most children, only has six sons and two daughters, and the two sons died early, but there are still four sons and two daughters.
Shen Mu dared to make such a bold statement, which was full of confidence. This old boy has thirteen sons and five daughters, and the production speed has not shown any trend of decreasing.
From this point of view, his evaluation of everyone's blood heirs is still thin, which is really impossible to refute.
With so many children, even if it is inevitable that they will be damaged now, they really need to plan for marriage in the future. After all, today's Shen family is different from previous years, and there are not many people who can make friends with their family. Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that Shen Mu had finalized a marriage first with extraordinary calculations.
Just looking at Ji You's appearance, it is obvious that he has not forgiven Shen Mu yet.
Not to mention how others laughed, Shen Mu attached great importance to Ji You, a relative, and accompanied him all the way into a hospitality area that was separated from the empty camp, and did not take Ji You's cold face all the way as his intentions, and said with a smile: "Over the years, there is really a hard family to raise my family, if that kid has disobedient deeds, please don't scruple about being with me, just teach me a lesson." ”
Although Shen Mu has given birth to a lot, he is a typical steward, and probably the parents of the Shen family are not confident in his parenting ability. Therefore, except for a few young concubines in Qingzhou Town, the rest of the sons and daughters were raised by their fathers and good wives.
As for the eldest son, Shen Ji, he simply fostered in his father-in-law's house, and now he is a teenager, and he started studying under Zhang Luo, his father-in-law Ji You.
"Anu is quiet and knows etiquette, and he learned poetry and books early, and he is fortunate to be unworthy of his father. On the contrary, he is inferior at home, and he knows little shame, which makes people suffocated. ”
Ji You is not happy with this family business, not because he is dissatisfied with his son-in-law, but mainly because he is unhappy with Shen Mu. On the contrary, he is more dedicated to this son-in-law than his own children, no matter how much he can be said to have done his best, he is probably holding his breath to make this ridiculous marriage no longer laughed at.
At this moment, hearing that Shen Mu was still so shameless, Ji You sneered and said.
Shen Mu felt even more embarrassed after hearing this, thinking of Ji You's friendship for him to raise his son, even if he was ashamed, it was not easy to attack, not to mention that he was already at a loss. He has had more children in Qingzhou in the past few years, but he can't give birth to them on his own, naturally because he has added more concubines to his family.
Today's Wuxing Shen clan is already as powerful as the sun, not to mention that Shen Mu, in addition to the Shen clan's proximity, is also a major general in charge of the front theater of operations. Moreover, the countryside between Qingyan and Xu has not yet been completely flattened, and those rural heroes are strong, and the idea will inevitably hit Shen Mu.
The Shen family is rich, famous all over the world, and the power is great, and everyone in the world knows it. With these two representatives, even if Shen Mu has no hobbies, he has to find a little gap by those rural heroes who are swarming around, not to mention that his lustful name is so well-known, you can imagine what kind of means those people will use to express their respect for Xingtai and the Shen family.
In this way, Shen Muse's famous works are naturally more prominent, and it is inevitable that they are often mentioned, and it is not clear whether they are shameful or envious.
But from Shen Mu's point of view, he is not all selfish, after the state of Qiang was repeatedly frustrated around Yecheng, the focus of the army has also shifted, and there are often small armies from the lower reaches of the Yellow River to sneak into Qingzhou. Although Wang Shi is powerful, if it comes to the control of the countryside, after all, it is not as strong as the township clans between the countryside, and it is necessary to maintain a harmonious relationship with them.
If Shen Mu's performance of oil and salt does not enter, the majesty will be preserved, but it will inevitably make people cowardly and dare not get close. A certain degree of harmonious exchanges is also needed by the times, not to mention that these exchanges are indeed enjoyable for Shen Mu.
Those who can make friends with Shen Mu are naturally mostly martial artists, and after getting together to say goodbye, many of the next things are naturally military.
Although the focus of the current downward stage is on the western expedition to Guanzhong, everyone also knows that although the situation in Guanzhong is chaotic, there is no single party that can lead the heroes, so there are not many real fierce battles in Guanzhong in the future. Therefore, the most important thing in the western expedition is to control chaos and rejuvenate the country, and the military does not occupy an absolute position.
For Wang Shi, the biggest enemy is still Hebei Zhao, and the future Northern Expedition is also a big battlefield for them to make a name for themselves. Shen Mu is the coach of Qingzhou, and he has a lot of experience in fighting with the country over the years.
Therefore, after they sat down, everyone couldn't help but ask Shen Mu for more advice. Shen Jin, Huan Huo and others are still recuperating in Luoyang at the moment, and they also attended this rally, they are still in the army, and they lack much experience in fighting head-on with the state of Qian, and when they hear this issue discussed in the audience, they naturally pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"In recent years, the country has also been frank and vain. Not to mention that Fangtou Xie Zhijun made Ye Di Mu a barren field under the fence, and frequently used soldiers to cultivate it. On the occasion of the Qing Yan alone, although the people repeatedly crossed the river to invade the south, they also lacked the strategy of the overseer to conquer the army, and more of them were a group of desperate soldiers who were rushing to seek food, which was difficult to become a big disaster. ”
When Shen Mu said this, his face was a little more solemn: "But these signs are all signs of the general situation. For the real array battle, you should not underestimate this. Shilong was already a wanderer, with a spark suddenly into a prairie fire, Ji Long was deeply preached, and he was also good at it, and his people roared like locusts, and with a little momentum, it could be eroded into a disaster. There is also no shortage of canine and tooth soldiers under his command, such as the evil son Shi Di, Shi Xuan, etc., all of them are the species of wolves and beasts that eat blood, Zhang Jackal, Li Nong and the like......"
Although Shen Mu's personal style problem is not small, he will not joke when it comes to military affairs, and he is also vigilant about all kinds of military affairs: "Regardless of whether the army is brave or not, Wang Shi is the master of weapons, and in recent years, there have been many desperate pursuit postures in the country." Earlier, Ji Long exhausted the country's use, and the popular election bravely fabricated the elite, with Long Xiang as the number, and his people with horse armor and black lance as tools......"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but pay attention to it. In fact, in terms of the quality of soldiers, there is not much difference between the two countries, Wang Shisheng is better than fine weapons, so even if the two armies are fighting in array, they also have a great sense of psychological superiority over the soldiers of the country. However, when he heard Shen Mu talk about the so-called Black Lance Dragon Army, which was not much inferior to the most elite four armies of the Wang Division in terms of armament, he naturally paid attention.
Speaking of these, Xiao Yuandong also interjected to explain. He previously commanded the Fenwu Army in the four armies of Xingtai, which was different from ordinary generals stationed in fixed areas and often fought in turnaround, so he had also heard about the situation of some new armies in the country, and even had combat experience.
Although Shi Hu has to destroy Hebei at the moment, Hebei also has a lot of essence, and its people began to focus on building an elite army, which may not be able to catch up with Wang Shi's accumulation over the years, but the momentum is not small.
In addition to the so-called black lance dragon champ, the new army formed in recent years also has the Donggong wrestlers formed by his son Shi Di, who are said to be warriors who can fight lions and tigers with their bare hands. In addition, there is also the death battalion formed by the remnants of Shangbai Begging and the Six Guards of the Heavenly King formed by many Zahulis.
Just listening to the fame, one by one is full of murderous spirit. And some of these newly formed armies have already appeared on the battlefield in Hebei, and some have been crusading against Xianbei and other Hu tribes in the north, and their combat effectiveness alone is far stronger than the old army that had won the power of the previous Qianguo disciples.
After some discussion, everyone also had a full understanding of the strength of the current state of Qian. In the past few years, although the strength of the royal division has been surging, the northern kingdom of Qian has not stood still. Regardless of the recovery of various systems and vitality for the time being, at least in terms of military strength, the country is still very impressive.
After understanding the strength of the real enemy, the generals can better understand why the general should first cut off the threat of the flanks before focusing on using troops in Hebei. The kingdom still has considerable power, and it is difficult to hope for a war to be decided.
If the main force of the Wang Division rashly goes north and is entangled in the hot fight in Hebei, the hidden dangers on the flanks suddenly erupt, and it is inevitable that one side will lose the other, and both sides will not be calm.
In the current situation, even though Shi Hu still has some strength, he does not dare to make a desperate bet and fight in the south of the country. Taking advantage of each other's jealousy, each of them exerts its strength to sweep away those hidden forces that are waiting and seeing, and then fights a decisive battle against Hebei when it is completely calm, which is exactly the strategy adopted by both the north and the south at present.
Everyone met on the mountain, and with the summons of Xingtai to arrive at the tiger prison, the sergeant of Shen Musuo was able to enter the pass, so he no longer stayed outside for a long time, and set off to Luoyang.
After arriving outside Luoyang City, the sergeants all marched into the old Luojun City to settle down, and Shen Mu also said goodbye to his friends and went straight to Xingtai to resume his life, and then went to the nearby general's mansion.
Knowing that his uncle Shen Chong and many of his family members had gone north for the New Year, Shen Mu also had a careful experience, and asked his family members around him to learn that his father was not accompanying him this time, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and Shi Shiran rode his horse to the General's Mansion.
Shen Mu entered the mansion surrounded by a group of family members, and when he entered the atrium, he suddenly found that the family members around him had decreased sharply, and when he turned his head, he saw Shen Zhezi, Shen Yun, Shen Jin and several others standing in front of the attic window on one side and looking over with no lack of expectation.
Seeing this scene, he was alarmed, and hurriedly turned his head and shouted: "I really made a mistake in my busyness, I almost forgot to have an appointment with Ji Wenwen......"
"Where to go!"
A broken cry sounded, Shen Mu's knees weakened, and he looked sideways, only to see his father Shen Ke rushing out of the side porch, holding a dark wooden staff in his hand and smashing it at him.
"Uncle has already passed the year of the Mandate of Heaven, and when he is forging ahead, he can still be tiger and tiger, domineering and leaky, and in previous years, he was often trapped in family affairs and could not be used to the fullest, and it was really a waste of his talents, otherwise how could he allow his children to show off alone!"
Shen Zhezi stood in the attic, watching Shen Mu being beaten by his second uncle's cane, and couldn't help but say with emotion, and felt that the name of his family's martial arts sect was not obtained for nothing, but it was indeed profound.
Shen Yun and Shen Jin both nodded again and again after hearing the words, especially Shen Yun was poisoned yesterday, and he was even more happy when he heard Shen Mu's howl at this time, and he didn't forget to pat Shen Zhezi on the back: "Brother, you asked your family to hide your uncle's news and lure him into the house, and you also want to keep your family ugly in the court for self-determination." If the stick is used outside the court, the second brother will definitely be even more shameless, I hope he can experience this painstaking effort in the future. ”
Shen Jin was still stupid, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this answer, even though he felt that he was still too young, and he was still a little less accomplished after all.
