Throughout November, the atmosphere in Jiankang City was always depressed, and the only thing that was a little lively was that Bei Zhonglang led Guo Mo to return to the capital to defend Gyeonggi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the day Guo Mo returned to the capital, the east and south gates of Jiankang City were wide open, and the strict security in the city was also relaxed earlier, and the Su Guard Forbidden Army even encouraged the people in the capital to leave their homes to have a glimpse of the army.

On this day, Jiankang City was rare and lively again, and many people poured into the streets to look forward to it. It wasn't until noon that Guo Mo entered the city from Qingxi in the east of the city and led hundreds of knights to slowly cross the street.

Shen Zhezi also sat in the attic on the side of the road and watched Guo Mo's military appearance, and it could be seen that the hundreds of knights, including the war horses, were all strictly selected, with strong physique and majestic momentum, each wearing armor on his body, with a sword hanging from his waist, and a long spear hanging on the side of the horse. As soon as I looked at the past, there was a rushing evil aura rushing to the face, which made people swaying in fear of the military might and unable to control themselves.

Sitting opposite Shen Zhezi were Guo Yu and Ren Qiu, Ren Qiu was still down, he didn't know much about the military, but like the people on the street, looking at Guo Mojun so elite and vigorous, he couldn't help but be amazed: "There is such a dare to fight to defend Gyeonggi, Liyang may not be in trouble." ”

After hearing this, Guo Mo on the other seat sneered, but did not speak, just looked at Guo Mo who was riding a war horse and walking through the long street with a somewhat chilled expression.

Shen Zhezi knew that Guo Yu had a deep grudge against Guo Mo, if Guo Mo hadn't abandoned Li Ju and fled south, the situation in Xingyang would not have been defeated so hastily, even if he didn't support it, he could restrain his subordinates to come south. However, Guo Mo's betrayal accelerated the centrifugation of the Xingyang tribes, and when Li Ju finally came south, only a few hundred people such as Guo Yu followed him, and finally died of hatred.

But now, Zhongshu has a clear attitude and values Guo Mo as a trump card, and appoints him as the rear general to lead the first defense line of the Suwei to defend the northwest defense line of Gyeonggi. Once Liyang comes to the east, it may become the first front to resist Liyang's offensive, and the responsibility is not insignificant. So for Guo Mo, Shen Zhezi is helpless at the moment.

However, for Guo Mo's move in the letter, in Shen Zhezi's opinion, it was really a bad move. Guo Mo may have martial arts, but the biggest disadvantage is that he does not have his own descendants, and the biggest reliance of a homeless marshal is not whether he is brave or not, but whether he has a group of descendants who are loyal and dare to fight. The Chinese book introduces Guo Mo to return to the dynasty, and wants to repeat the old things of the early years of quelling Wang Dun, which is inevitably a little whimsical.

Moreover, Guo Mo is really lacking in discipline, and he has abandoned the army and fled more than once. It is a joke to expect such an unresponsible person to entrust him with a heavy responsibility!

But in any case, the fact that Guo Mogui praised the army was finally of great benefit to the stability of the people of Gyeonggi. The vast majority of people eat this set, and the reason why people are quite jealous of Liyang is because its army is brave and able to fight. But seeing that Guo Mohuai's Northern Army, whose military appearance was not inferior to that of the Liyang Department, returned to the capital, the panic in his heart could be calmed down somewhat. After all, the imperial court still occupies the righteousness, and the army is wide, and the advantages are obvious.

This atmosphere did not last long, in late November, major events happened one after another, first Yuzhou Zuyue sent troops south, and the Liyang soldiers were united. Even though Han Huang and Zhang Jian of the Liyang Department broke through Gu and returned from plundering salt and rice. At the same time, Su Jun officially declared the north and south in Dajiang, and would raise righteous soldiers to punish the traitors.

This news was transmitted to the capital overnight, and the entire Jiankang City was in an uproar, and the city was in turmoil. That night, King Pengcheng and King Zhangwu, who had already been forced to endure by Zhongshu, crossed the city and threw themselves into Liyang, which aggravated the chaos.

In the afternoon of the next day, a team of guards rushed directly into the courtyard of the princess's mansion and drove the Shen protégé who was responsible for receiving visitors into the mansion. There should be people in the house, etc., and no unauthorized entry and exit are allowed, and those who violate the prohibition will be beheaded! ”

Hearing this, the servants were even more frightened, and rushed into the palace to find the steward to report it. Jia Ling Diao Yuan hurriedly came, and when he heard the general of the guard repeat the reason, he couldn't help frowning, where is this guard, it is clear that he wants to put the princess's mansion under house arrest.

There are not many Su Guards, but there are only two or three hundred people, and now there are nearly five hundred elite troops of the Shen family gathered in the mansion, and they are not afraid. However, the person who came said that by the order of Zhongshu, it happened that Lord Lang and the princess were not at home to visit friends, although there was enough self-protection in the house, Diao Yuan did not dare to make a claim for a while, so he could only take advantage of the fact that the guards had not yet surrounded the mansion, and quickly climbed over the wall to find Shen Zhezi.

The invitation that Shen Zhezi went to today was a banquet for Kong Ming, the son of Shangshu Zuocheng Kong Tan, and most of the participants were the children of Wu Zhong's officials in the capital. Wu Xing and Hui Ji had earlier organized villagers to arrive outside Gyeonggi to welcome the children of these villagers back to their hometowns.

Among these people, Kong Chao is not very old, and he is not yet in the age of standing, but he is the host. His family was originally a high-ranking family of Huiji, and now his father is a high-ranking official of Shangshu, and his uncle Kong Yuguan is a servant, so there is no doubt that his family's judgment of the wind direction and the current situation in Taichung is more convincing.

Therefore, everyone at the banquet asked Kong Chao about his opinion, but Kong Chao was pessimistic, and sighed: "My father once said that the thief is not weak, and Taicheng may be restless." If you can leave the capital, you should leave early, and if it is inconvenient for a while, you should also close your home and do not walk in the city in disguise. ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Shen Zhezi next to Kong Chao. Shen Zhezi just wore a soft armor suit to go out today, this is because in the early hours of the morning, a small group of rebels attacked Nanyuan, Shen Zhezi led the family soldiers to repel it, and before he returned home to change his clothes, he came to invite.

Kong Chao just relayed his father's words, not Shen Zhezi, as soon as he noticed that something was wrong, he quickly turned around and apologized. Shen Zhezi waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.

To be honest, not only does he not have confidence in Zhongshu, but Shen Zhezi does not have much confidence in those bigwigs in Taichung. It's not that these people are all mediocre and have no wise men, but they all have a plan and too many thoughts, how can they come up with an effective counterinsurgency strategy.

For example, Kong Tan, the father of Kong Ming, Shang Shu Zuo Cheng is already a high-ranking official second only to Shang Shu Ling and the left and right servants, in such a situation, no matter what he thinks in his heart, maintaining the stability of the situation is an unshirkable responsibility. This public has no doorkeeper on his lips, and his repeated strategies have not been adopted, probably because he has a lot of resentment in his heart, and even directly said to people that the thief is so powerful that he will break Taicheng.

Now that Su Jun has started the incident, he has not made further moves after the great plunder, which shows that he is also hesitant in his heart, still waiting for the reactions of all parties, and does not have too sure of the future. As a result, Kong Tan's confidence in Su Jun is even more than that of Su Jun himself, which is really funny. This kind of discourse is said in the current era, not so much as an accurate judgment of the current situation, but a complaint about the Chinese book.

Although he thought this in his heart, Shen Zhezi was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Although the relationship between the Huiji Kong family and his family is not as close and harmonious as the others, the atmosphere between them is also good now, and there is no need for him to offend people with words.

"Yes, Wei Zhou has plans to leave the capital recently?"

Kong Ming's attitude can be said to represent Taichung's opinion, and when everyone asks Shen Zhezi again, they want to hear Fang Zhen's judgment.

When Shen Zhezi heard this question, he sighed for a while and said with a smile: "Most of us are white, even if we are in office, we are not Taichung dignitaries, not commanders of the army, and state affairs cannot be discussed." Retreat to think and seek a life, and each can choose a safe place. As for me, after all, I have to ask for an edict from the garden before I can decide to stay. ”

The implication is that he is also in favor of everyone returning to their hometowns. If you want to go, hurry up, don't stay in the capital and stir up people's uneasiness.

While he was talking, Shen Zhezi saw Ren Qiu standing outside the hall gesturing to him, so he went out of the house with a confession, and when he heard Ren Qiu tell him about the situation in the house, his face suddenly sank. After a short silence, he returned to the hall and said, "There is a sudden matter at home that you want to say goodbye and take a step forward, if you want to leave the capital, you should make a decision as soon as possible." Qu Aduo has a boat and car, which can be used by the villagers. ”

When the people heard this, they got up and sent each other off.

After going out, Shen Zhezi turned over and got on his horse, and then led Guo Yu, Liu Meng and others to gallop away. Now martial law is imposed in the capital, and it is strictly forbidden for idle people to gallop in the city. In order to facilitate his actions, Shen Zhezi moved a position as a marquis in the south of the city in the Protector's Mansion, and handed over the title to Liu Chang, and he became a supernumerary subordinate of Liu Chang's private placement instead of a group of subordinates. Of course, this is just a cover-up, so as not to be attacked and blatantly violated in the current atmosphere.

Today's Wuyi Lane is not as noisy as in the past, and even if there are families coming and going on the street, they are all quiet and quiet. The Heng Gate in front of each house is no longer bright, or covered with silk, and some are simply demolished, probably for fear that after the rebellious army enters the city, these past honors will become a source of disaster.

Shen Zhezi and his party rushed directly across the long street without hindrance, and soon came to the door of their house, and even saw that a circle of horses had been formed in front of the gate of the house, and there were guards with loose military faces walking in front of the door.

Seeing this scene, Shen Zhezi felt angry, picked up the longbow hanging on the saddle, and shot the string, even though one of the guards fell with an arrow in his arm, rolling on the ground and howling.

"Haiyan man, do you dare to defy the ban on Chinese books and attack the guards? You have to rebel and rebel! ”

A young general in the palace gate rushed out, stood behind the rejection of the horse, pointed at Shen Zhezi and shouted loudly.

After seeing this person's appearance clearly, Shen Zhezi laughed angrily, this person is not a stranger to him, it is Zhang Mu of the Danyang Zhang clan who ran for the emperor's son-in-law with him in the early years. Originally, the Danyang Zhang family has been depressed a lot in recent years, but with the large-scale preparation of the guards in Zhongshu, the Zhang family gave full support and gradually improved.

Shen Zhezi didn't ask, but he knew that this Mu was bluffing with tiger skin, and took the opportunity to announce his personal vendetta. He didn't bother to answer to this person, his chin raised slightly, and Liu Chang stepped forward from behind, pointed at Zhang Mu with his hands on his waist and said loudly: "Which one is the guard?" Who ordered the army to harass the Eldest Princess's Mansion? I am the Marquis of the Protector's Mansion, and if you can't hand over the edict, I will immediately take you into custody and hand you over to the Protector's Mansion for interrogation! ”

That Zhang Mu really wanted to embarrass Shen Zhezi, and listened to his father's words in the morning because the sect fled to the enemy because of the smuggling, so he deliberately imprisoned many clan nobles in the capital, so he took it upon himself to come to the princess's mansion to avenge the old revenge. At this time, seeing that Shen Zhezi didn't even talk to him, and only let a slave speak to reprimand him, he was even more angry in his heart, and shouted: "Haiyan man, dare you insult me like this? ”

"It seems that there is no edict, and I will capture them all!"

Chief Liu was not small, pointing at Zhang Mu and the others and yelling, as if he was enjoying himself, and then turned back and smiled at Shen Zhezi, not completely forgetful.
