The group took a short rest in the humble environment of this abandoned garden, and before they knew it, it was getting late. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the process, there were also patrol soldiers who walked to this left, but this area of many abandoned gardens and villas was full of devastation, and those soldiers only looked at it from a distance and left, and did not go in to investigate. Now serving as the guard in the capital, it is mainly the remnants of the original Su Guard and the township to form an army, and the military order is still lax compared to the earlier time when it did not fall, so the loopholes are huge.

After the official nightfall, Liu Meng and a few others hurriedly returned, and the wildfire outside the abandoned garden was quickly introduced into the manor.

After most of the half-day rest, Shen Zhezifu became energetic again and got up to greet him.

In addition to Liu Meng and others, the companions also came with Xu Su, the captain of the Shen family's Longxi who stayed in Jiankang City earlier. After Xu Su helped Du He send the king of Langya out of the city, he led more than 200 soldiers to return to the city in the chaos. Except for Shen Ke, who is still in Taicheng, and a few guards around him, this is already the last bit of strength that Shen Zhezi left in the capital.

Although it is difficult for the Liyang Army to completely control the entire Jiankang City, and there are many loopholes to exploit in the middle, it is impossible to arrange a large team of thousands of people.

Xu Su had been lurking in the city for many days, and he had already responded to the uprising when he was waiting for the recovery of Gyeonggi, and he was pleasantly surprised to see Liu Meng and others. When he saw Shen Zhezi after walking to the abandoned garden, he couldn't help but be startled: "Why did Lang Jun come to this dangerous place in person?" If something happens, how can we wait for the main bus? ”

Shen Zhezi motioned to Xu Su to calm down, and led him into a slightly intact house to sit down, and then he smiled and said, "Xu Wei, you are sneaking here at the risk of killing, how can I be afraid of danger." ”

"We have been blessed by the Lord's family for generations, but we have a life and sacrifice our lives. But Lang Jun, you ......"

Before Xu Su could speak out to persuade him, Shen Zhezi waved his hand and smiled: "If you shouldn't come, you've already come, don't talk much." What is the situation in Duzhong recently, I am still chaotic, and I have to listen to Xu Wei, you tell me in detail. ”

When Xu Su heard this, he didn't say more, and then talked about the changes in the situation since the city was broken: "After I returned to the city that day, I lurked in a warehouse near the left side of Nanyuan. There has been a lot of chaos in the city for a few days, and the Liyang army has a big rope for the whole city, and we have no choice but to temporarily go out of the city with the rebellious people......"

Shen Zhezi listened carefully to what Xu Su said, and he also knew that staying in Gyeonggi was a very dangerous task. When he heard Xu Su talk about the fact that when the Longxi soldiers were withdrawing from the city, they were surrounded and killed by the Liyang rebels because more than a dozen people exposed the soldiers they were carrying, and Xu Su could only see death in order to protect the overall situation, Shen Zhezi also felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart, and he felt more and more the heavy responsibility of being a person who gave orders.

For him, it's just a thought in his mind, but these front-line executors often have to pay with their lives to accomplish it! The deceased is gone, and all he can do is do his best to live up to the sacrifices of every one of these faithful family members!

"There has been chaos in the city for more than ten days, and Gaomenhan's furniture has been damaged. It wasn't until the beginning of March that Danyang Zhang Shangshu left Taicheng to rectify the military in the suburbs of Beijing, and we were called back to the city as the rest of the guards, and now I am responsible for guarding a piece of Yongqing Lane in the southeast of the big truss. Because of the lack of funds and wealth in the chaos, and the large donations to marry Shangguan, it has not been completely dismantled, and now there are still 187 people on standby. ”

After talking about the situation of his group, Xu Sucai talked about the detailed urban defense arrangements in the capital now: "Now the person who supervises the six armies in the city is the king of Xiyang, who is the leader, but the specific task is still Chen Liucai's servant. Cai Shizhong is now appointed as the left army by the traitor Jiao Zhao, although he is in the opposite position, but he is still loyal and obedient to what he does. If it weren't for his many protections, the victims of these families in the city would be several times more serious now......"

Chen Liucai is Cai Mo, and Shen Zhezi only learned from occasional discussions with others that Su Jun's father had been supported by Cai Mo's ancestors in his early years. Probably because of this relationship, it may be that in Su Jun's opinion, Cai Mo is a little more trustworthy than other ministers, so he is entrusted with the important task of city defense.

As for the King of Xiyang, Shen Zhezi really didn't know what to say. This king was dragged down by the rebellion of the king of Nanton earlier and was demoted and dismissed, but after the city was broken, he came forward as the elder of the clan to speak for Su Jun, and together with several other sect kings who had fled earlier, they asked Su Jun to govern. This is really a rush to hang, the ghost is holding his heels, so many people haven't spoken out to support Su Jun, and their group of sect kings are very jumpy.

But it is precisely because of this that in the future, Su Jun will be defeated, and no matter who is in the city, he may find a reason to be forgiven, but these kings, if they don't kill them, Su Jun's name of rebellion cannot be qualified. Jingkou has already cut down the prince of Xiyang, Shen Zhezi has no idea of killing people and taking industry, the blame is only that the king of Xiyang is too capable, and he has no reason to save Sima Bo, the prince of Xiyang, who still has some friendship.

Among the ministers who were used by Su Jun as Xu Su said, one of them caught Shen Zhezi's attention, that is, he had helped him a lot earlier to force Sima Wuji, the king of Langya, Hu Zhi, to retreat.

After experiencing the turmoil in the early years, King Qian was soon alienated and suppressed by a group of Taiwanese ministers, although he was not driven out of Jiankang City in the end, but since then, King Qian has rarely had the opportunity to appear in front of people. After Shen Zhezi's wedding, there was no shortage of contacts with the kings of the clan, but he rarely had the opportunity to meet King Chen. Because of the hatred with the Langya royal family, this king seems to be forgotten, and few people mention it.

When the city was broken, King Qian was also trapped in the city, although he did not support Su Jun as clearly as the King of Xiyang and the others, but his clan identity was not fake. Now King Qian has been appointed as the squire of the Yellow Gate, leading a part of the soldiers to be responsible for the guard of the Tongyuan, including the West Pool.

These conditions are only basic defenses in the city, and they are only shallow forces used to maintain the stability of the situation in the city. As for the real power of city defense, it is still in the hands of Su Jun's generals.

Because there is no city wall to protect it, there are three geographical guards around Jiankang City. One of the most important of these is naturally Stone Town, where nearly 10,000 soldiers live and are led by Su Jun's brother Su Yi, who is responsible for the defense of a large area southwest of Jiankang City.

The second is Jiang Ling's overthrow of Zhoushan, and it was from there that Su Jun broke through the city to prevent fire and burn the city, and also attached great importance to the defense work there. After breaking through Jiankang City, the first time he mobilized the people to build a camp around Jiangling, and threw many iron ropes on the river to prevent the water army from the east and west of the river from approaching. Originally, it was the Yuzhou army Zu Jian who was responsible for guarding there, but Zu Jian was recalled by Zu Yue to attack the Yuzhou traitor Huan Xuan, and he has not returned. But now there are still more than 2,000 troops stationed there, and it is very difficult to hope that the naval army will attack on the river.

The third location is the Longdu Ferry in the southeast of Jiankang City, which is a junction of the water network in the south of Jiankang City, connecting Yunyang, Shangrong and other streams to the east, and is also an important node connected by Pogangdu. If you go north and turn to Qingxi, you can go straight to Jiangling, and if you go west to enter the Qinhuai River, you can go directly to Stone Town. Because of the convenient water transportation, it is also an extremely important grain and grass concentration point for the Liyang Army around Jiankang.

Among the three important strongholds outside Jiankang City, Shen Zhezi is most familiar with Longdu Ferry, and it can even be said that the reason why Longdu Ferry can become an important stronghold of the Liyang Army is not decided by Su Jun, but by Shen Zhezi.

Among these water network nodes in the south of Jiankang City, the first freight center is not Longdu, but a small lake in the northeast of Longdu. Compared with Longdu, Hushu originally followed the waterway from the old Wu to connect the Qinhuai River, and was closer to Pogangdu, so it was a freight distribution center in the south of the capital very early.

Moreover, there are mountains in Hushu, and there are even military facilities built during the period of Sun Hao, the old Empress of Wu. But this is not the case in Longdu, the four fields and the flat river, the water network is intricate, and there are large reeds, which is extremely difficult to defend.

However, after Shen Zhezi bought a house in Qu'a, because of the large number of goods and materials to and from Gyeonggi, he consciously went to the height of the weight of the Longdu ferry, and a large number of goods were transferred. He not only built a navigation tower near the left side of Longdu at his own expense, but also built a large number of warehouses and the like. Purely from the perspective of water transportation, Longdu is indeed more convenient than Hushu, coupled with the supporting facilities built by Shen Zhezi around here, so many families in the capital, including merchants from the north and south, are gradually accustomed to coming to Longdu.

The flow of people was attracted here, and the construction was naturally much faster, so the lake was gradually surpassed by the dragon capital, and then the original ditch was also abandoned, and it could no longer lead directly to Qingxi. This kind of small-scale canal channel, as long as there is no regular dredging and dredging, it will not take a year or two to be navigable because of the depletion of the water flow, and the construction of Longdu Navigation Dai itself is to divert this part of the water power to the past.

The Liyang army came to rebel, not to dig a ditch, even if it mobilized the people's forces to rebuild the dredging lake and waterway, it could not be completed in a few months. Besides, the two ferries are not far from each other, so instead of spending so much manpower and waiting for a few months to covet the little military role of the lake, it is better to directly choose a ready-made Longdu ferry, which is a choice that normal people will have. And for the rebels, they themselves don't know what will happen in a few months.

Regarding the defense work of Jiankang City, Xu Su learned so much here. As for the defense situation around Taicheng north of the more core and more important truss, that is not something that he can access at the level he has now mixed into. But if he can't learn about the latest situation in Taicheng, Shen Zhezi really doesn't dare to act rashly, otherwise he will be born and die outside, and he will rush into Taicheng to take a look, and his fucking brother-in-law will hang up first.

If that situation really happens, not to mention that his wife is not easy to explain, Shen Zhezi will not be able to accept it. Not to mention his personal good impression of the emperor, in order to stabilize the situation after the rebellion, the emperor cannot afford to lose. So after learning about it, Shen Zhezi still sent Xu Su back to the city to try to contact Shen Ke in Taicheng and exchange the latest information.
