Ji You left the capital a few days ago, traveled most of Qu'a, and finally met Zhang Jian in a valley southwest of Qu'a.

Today's Zhang Jian is very different from the resolute and calm image in Ji You's impression, his face is slightly pale, his eyes are wandering, his beard is messy, and the whole person seems to be extremely depressed.

And most of his subordinates have already dispersed, and now they are still following him, except for the more than 100 remaining subordinates who have not abandoned after being defeated by Shen Zhezi earlier, there are only a few hundred people left from the Liyang Headquarters, less than a thousand. When Ji You came looking for him, these people were still walking around the valley looking for a way out, as if they were going to cross the mountains and head south.

"I don't expect to see Ji Jun again, but now that I'm like this, I'm ashamed to see the old man, it's really rude."

Zhang Jian sat on the ground on the high post by the river valley, in just a few breaths, his palms kept rubbing his knees, and his eyes frequently turned to all directions, full of a cramped frightened bird, and there was no trace of the eloquent style of sitting and talking with Ji You when he was in Qu'a County earlier.

"Zhang Hou, please rest assured, I only have more than a dozen people under the mountain this time, and there is no other department."

When Ji You saw Zhang Jian's appearance, there was no lack of emotion in his heart, and Wen Yan comforted Zhang Jian.

After hearing this, Zhang Jian squeezed out a bitter smile: "I can trust Ji Jun, I, alas, I am consciously dirty...... Ji Jun, why are you so troubled? ”

"Then Zhanghou, why are you suffering? The vicissitudes of the world, the manpower is poor, and it should be stopped! ”

Ji You was really sad, he walked along the road, and what he saw earlier that Qu A, whom he had tried his best to preserve, was already full of devastation, and many evil deeds were heinous, and then rose to his own guilt. Earlier, he really didn't realize that Zhang Jian was such a person, if he had known that today's Qu A had been victimized so far, he should have spared his life to kill Zhang Jian before!

Zhang Jian smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then said with a straight face: "If I say that Qu A's recent situation is not my doing, nor is it what I want, Ji Jun, do you believe it?" Shocked to hear that Shen Langqi's army raided, recovered Gyeonggi, and created a great achievement. In addition to being stunned, my heart is in turmoil, how dare I plan again, but I hope to be able to run under the lord's account and serve my loyalty! The department is difficult to bind, and the Dongyang army is stationed near the shore like a skull in the throat, in order to get out, the scattered troops take advantage of the chaos to come out......"

When Ji You heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was silent. He knew that by now, Zhang Jian had no need to deceive himself anymore, but if it wasn't for Zhang Jian encouraging those Suwei villagers to invade the villagers, it would make it even more difficult for him to accept.

Zhang Jian saw that Ji You was silent, and the bitterness on his face became even stronger, and he couldn't help but sigh again: "If I had known that the military heart was so available, why should I bother to abolish my subordinates?" Up to now, I myself have been at a loss, obviously Shen Lang entered Gyeonggi alone, raised his arms and shouted, there are thousands of people who surrender to sincerity, and once they have wasted our hard work! However, when they arrived at our headquarters, after those guards got out of control, instead of rushing to the aid of Gyeonggi, they fought separately and raged in the countryside, causing special harm to our army. Ji Jun, you live in Jiangdong and have a family history, can you solve my doubts? ”

Ji You was even more speechless after hearing this, to be honest, at this time, he was as confused as Zhang Jian in his heart, and he didn't know why such an evil thing happened.

"It's rare that Ji Jun is still willing to see me, and after living in Jiangdong for many years, I can get Ji Jun's courtesy, which is not false for me."

When Ji You heard this, he felt even more nostalgic in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Hou, follow me to see the concubine." Qu'a's woe is not your doing, I can trust you. In the days to come, I will defend myself before the horses. Adversity is a foregone conclusion, where can you go? ”

"Where can I go? Hah, where can I go? ”

After Zhang Jian heard this, the burly body trembled, revealing a sense of weakness and powerlessness: "When the northern land was hit by a disaster, the dogs were raging, and the horsemen waved their knives, and those who did it survived. If you are lucky not to die, you can only turn to the south. No one is a natural backbone, the edict of Su Zu Mingtang, Han Ling can be used for the country, flesh and blood, what kind of honor is this? ”

"The world is cold, and the blood is not cold! But what kind of world are we waiting to protect? The inside and outside are sparse, the top and bottom are centrifuged, the officials take suspicion as their own responsibility, and the service is sparse with the door! Hu Lu only took people's lives, but Gaomen even wiped out people's will! We must not be loyal and brave soldiers, what can we do but be traitors? ”

"I am very envious of Ji Jun, and there is a virtuous family like Shen Lang, who is worthy of great talent, his family background is noble, and his ambition is rewarded! It's a pity that Zhang Mou is cold, and it is difficult to enter the eyes of the sages, so he will be rested! It is difficult to live in this life to understand, but to die with peace of mind! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jian's eyes were already faintly flickering with tears, and he stood up and saluted Ji Youchang: "Thank you Ji Jun for giving me a ride, it's hard to see you again in this life, but you can wait for Huangquan to sing together!" After years of fighting, he only got the name of a thief. What a pity for this body, it should have been given to a good friend to make another contribution, but unfortunately the main army was defeated and suffered, and he didn't dare to give up! Leave! ”

After saying that, Zhang Jian turned around and walked down the high post and led the crowd away.

————

With the issuance of Shen Zhezi's military order, in the next two days, a large number of Su Guard rebels who were originally subordinate to Zhang Jian's department flocked to Qu'a County.

There is no way to do this, Gyeonggi has been recovered, Su Jun is defeated again, and everyone knows that this rebellion that has lasted for half a year will be quelled. These guards either fled to the deep mountains and old forests to survive, or joined the big clan and were sheltered by it, or they could only obediently return to the order.

However, these people probably also know how sinful they are doing, so few small units return, and they are often gathered into hundreds or thousands of brigades, probably because the advantages of the personnel can give them a sense of security, after all, the law is difficult to blame.

"Why?"

In the Qu'a County Office, a young guard general sitting opposite Shen Zhezi was stared at by Shen Zhezi's cold eyes.

This young man is not an outsider, but the son of Ji Kuang, the cousin of Ji You, named Ji Chang, who also holds a military position in the guard. Probably because of this relationship, Ji Chang alone brought back 1,500 or 600 guards. And this group of guards is also the most eye-catching, not to mention that the soldiers are carrying a large amount of goods one by one, and even escorting dozens of carts full of grain and silk, you can imagine what kind of evil they have done!

Ji Chang's eyes were bloodshot, his thin and bloodless lips were moving, and he didn't dare to look directly into Shen Zhezi's eyes. Because Shen Zhezi is not only a governor, but also his elder.

"Are you dumb? Do you think I dare not kill you? ”

Seeing that Ji Chang was just full of horror, but he didn't dare to speak, thinking of the tragedy he had seen with his own eyes earlier, Shen Zhezi gritted his teeth with hatred, raised his foot and kicked the door in front of Ji Chang: "Dare to do such an evil thing, are you worthy of your ancestors?" Are you worthy of Danyang villagers? ”

"It's done cleanly and doesn't leak...... Please, please, please, ......"

Ji Chang covered his cheeks, blood had seeped out from his fingers, and his tone trembled.

"Brute! Do you still have the face to see me? How can you do it! ”

Shen Zhezi drew his sword, and the blade of the sword was against Ji Chang's chest.

Ji Chang looked down at the sword blade, his body was already trembling, and then he cried sadly: "The last general deserves to die, it's not a pity to die!" But please don't let me know it, the last general has never ordered to break through a village, never ordered to kill a person, there is no blood on his hands, and he has not suffered a single inch of what he has gained! ”

"Hah! Having done so much evil, you are telling me that you have a clear conscience? Are you as innocent as jade? As a general, you can't control your people, so what's the use of keeping you! ”

When Shen Zhezi heard this defense, he was already angry and laughed.

"But how will the last general stop them? Most of these guards are from good families, and a family of old and young women and children will be pulled out with one life! They have no choice but to follow the thief, they have already cut off the way forward, and they can get one or two treasures by their side, which is the best result. It is true that those villagers are also innocent, but the last general is just mediocre, and those who can plan are only for their comrades...... If death can pay for this sin, what is the point of dying at the end? ”

After Shen Zhezi heard this, his heart was even heavier, he threw his sword on the ground, and said in an astringent voice: "Wang Taibao Taichung has a decree, and the guards who follow the rebels will return to their hometowns, and they will not enter the cantonment, and those who have merit will discuss merit and grant land." ”

"Ah...... How can this be? ”

When Ji Chang heard this, the whole person froze on the spot, and then burst into tears, kowtowed to the ground and wept: "The last mistake is a big mistake, please give the horse death!" ”

"Death? You are not the only one who wants to be killed, which of those thieves and murderers outside should not be killed? Are you going to kill them all? ”

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he hated it even more in his heart. These guards and rebels dare to do such evil, and those who are intimidated are not illegal and do not blame the public. Even if they undoubtedly committed a serious crime, as long as there is no strong sufferer to ask for punishment, for the sake of the stability of the situation, Taichung can only press down this tragic incident and will no longer publicize it.

You must know that if you discuss the crime, not only the thousands of guards outside should be killed, but also the children of a family like Ji Chang and the family behind them will not be exempted. Most of the guards are from Danyang Township, and most of the leaders are from Danyang families like Ji Chang, if they don't let go of this matter, the entire Gyeonggi and Danyang will be turbulent again!

Since the southern crossing, the military and political focus of the imperial court has never been to prepare for the Northern Expedition, but to maintain stability and ensure that Jiangdong is not chaotic! Under the premise of stability, any kind of mistake can be forgiven! After Wang Dun's first rebellion, he returned to the town in a beautiful manner, in order to maintain stability! Yu ** anti-Su Jun caused chaos in Jiangdong, and after the rebellion, he still stood still, in order to maintain stability!

For this so-called national policy, Shen Zhezi doesn't know what to say, because his family benefits from this! With the sins committed by his family, if it weren't for the sake of maintaining stability, he would have been raided many times!

But Shen Zhezi has always been very clear in his heart that even if he can maintain temporary stability in such a government, it is also fake! Because this will make everyone feel that as long as they can hold on to this lifeline, no matter how big the mistake is, they can be forgiven. Even if he doesn't need to go down to investigate, Shen Zhezi knows very well that now between Wuzhong, Jiangxi and even Jingxiang, many local heroes are learning from his family's transformation as an idol and role model! ...
