The affairs of Xingtai are getting more and more on the track, although there are still many things inside and outside, but Shen Zhezi is becoming more and more idle.

Today's Xingtai can be said to be full of talents, each Cao has clear responsibilities, and many affairs are orderly, even such a large-scale military operation as the Western Expedition does not require Shen Zhezi to work hard at all, just sit on the Xingtai and hold the overall situation.

Every morning, Shen Zhezi arrived at Xingtai from the General's Mansion, and there was already a school book to sort out the outline of Cao's affairs on the desk. Reviewing these affairs can be said to be one of the most important tasks of Shen Zhezi's day, so that he can clearly grasp the daily operation of the entire Xingtai.

There are more than 30 school clerks who assist in such affairs, and they are divided by two middle teachers. This small group is the closest subordinate to the general in the entire Xingtai, and it is also Shen Zhezi's most direct assistant in handling the affairs of the entire Xingtai.

The sources of these school books are also quite extensive, such as the outstanding students selected by the museum, the officials who are good at the affairs of each Cao, some of the children of the family who are close to Xingtai, and some of the great generals who have discovered and planned to focus on training.

Although the main task of these people is to copy and sort out all kinds of documents on the stage, because they are close to the generals, they can naturally share the vision of overlooking the overall situation, which has a very significant effect on the training of personal ability.

Although the establishment and operation of the Xingtai is still short, most of these people are still in the process of training, and few of them can hold really important positions, but the entire Xingtai does not dare to underestimate these young people. And being able to get the school book and follow the general's side has also become a goal that the young people of the current era strive to pursue.

If there is nothing very important or of particular concern to the general, it can often be completed in more than an hour. However, this situation is very rare, after all, although the administrative structure of Xingtai is operating, there are many long-standing problems that need to be solved practically, and there are too many such problems.

Therefore, after Shen Zhezi completed the review, he began to summon each Cao official separately to inquire about the specific process of affairs. If there are too many parties involved, it is often necessary to convene various cacao for deliberation meetings of varying scales.

If the general meeting can be finished in the morning, Shen Zhezi will summon guests in the afternoon, or officials from the four counties and counties who have come to report on their work, or envoys and representatives from all parties who have come to pay their respects.

Therefore, this so-called leisure is only relatively speaking, compared to the past, Shen Zhezi no longer has to be deeply involved in a specific matter, but if it is specific to each day, the schedule is still full. Ordinary subordinate officials often have regular rest in the month of October, but he really has a rare time to be truly idle from beginning to end of the year.

After entering July, the most important affairs in Xingtai were naturally the successive victories in the Guanzhong war, and the progress was gratifying. But there are other things that have to be taken seriously.

With the use of troops on the western front of Xingtai, the Hebei side has also been restless recently, and Xie Ai, the head of Fangtou, sent an envoy to report that the number of active Qihu people in the surrounding area has doubled, and they frequently intrude on the garrison strongholds set up by Xingtai in Hebei.

Xie Ai meant that instead of passively defending and responding, it was better to concentrate Hebei's forces and attack him again. In particular, Yecheng, the front line of the current confrontation between the north and the south, has long been dilapidated, and this dispatch of troops may be expected to directly shake Xiangguo.

Xie Ai's proposal was discussed for a long time, but it was finally rejected. It is true that at present, the main force of Qianhu is mainly concentrated in the Youhe region, and if it is as Xie Ai said, the surprise army is suddenly released, it is indeed very likely to go straight to Xiangguo.

However, the current Xingtai was not ready to consolidate and expand the results of the battle, and even the Hanoi cavalry was transferred back to participate in the western expedition, and the current Xiatai troops in Hebei were not sufficient.

In the event of a large-scale battle in Hebei, Xie Ai's troops alone would not be enough to sustain the war, and even the newly operated Hedong might have to go east to join the war. However, once the Hedong military force is withdrawn, there will be loopholes in Xingtai's operation in the north of Guanzhong, even if it can hold Sanfu, but the subsequent dispatch of troops to Longshang and even the recovery of Hanzhong will be affected, and the entire war on the Western Front will be stranded.

Moreover, the Fangtou area is not the most serious place in the north, the Yellow River Naval Army is not enough to defend the river defense line in the west, and in the direction of Qingzhou, many formed troops have broken through the defense line to the south to cause chaos, and Shen Mu, Li Hong and other armies are still chasing and encircling and suppressing and clearing the localities, and it is difficult to mobilize the north to cooperate with the operation in a short period of time.

In fact, for the decisive battle in the north, Shen Zhezi is no longer too eager. Although the current karma is the main opponent of Wang Shi, he also knows very well that it does not mean that after defeating the karma, the world will be peaceful and there will be no more trouble. This momentum will not stop with the demise of the kingdom.

Rather than having to bear the burden of hardship for a while, exterminate the Qianghu, and then be tired of dealing with the challenge of the rise of other border Hulu, it is better to keep the Qianghu for the time being, and let it and the northern Huhu attack each other and wear down their strength. Xingtai continued to work steadily, recovering the lost land in the south, recuperating in deep management, going north to kill Hu in the best condition, and sweeping away all the Hu Lu who dared to peep into the national weapons of Shenzhou.

Of course, this does not mean that Xingtai is blindly passive tolerated in the north affairs, and the affairs of recruiting Hebei volunteers and infiltrating the hinterland of Hebei have been going on. Similar to the actions of Simbin in the early years, he went behind enemy lines and lured people from the north to the south.

At the same time, the counties and counties of Hebei are also where Wang Shi's small-scale military training is located, and Wang Shi's income from people and materials in this regard is far better than that of the country, and the wind of civil investment in the south is also becoming more and more turbulent. In the attrition of this confrontation, the state of Qiang is far behind.

At the very least, Wang Shi already had stable strongholds such as Fangtou and Hanoi in Hebei, while the state of Qian was never able to build strongholds in Henan after the Central Plains War, and even Liyang, Yecheng and other places were broken and lost one after another, which itself has given Xingtai the initiative to occupy an absolute advantage in the confrontation between the north and the south.

In July, the news that Chang'an had been recovered reached Xingtai, which was a sure victory, but the hearts of the people in Heluo were also greatly inspired.

After Shen Zhezi learned of this in Xingtai, he immediately convened the ministers of Xingtai to discuss the matter, and the pacification affairs that had been prepared for a long time also needed to be formally implemented.

On the Xingtai side, the Jiang Yu holiday festival was used to make the west enter the Guanzhong to appease the masses, and Jiangxia Li Chong was Jing Zhaoyin, Langya Liu Ne was Feng Yi Taishou to go to Chang'an together, and as for the other head of the three auxiliaries, Fufeng Taishou, it was left to Huan Xuan to recommend. At the same time, Guo Yu was promoted to the assassin of Qinzhou and presided over the creation of the military government in Guanzhong.

Before this group of people went west, Shen Zhezi also deliberately talked with Du He in detail and asked him what he thought about the operation and rectification of Guanzhong later.

Jingzhao Du is also a famous family in Guanzhong, especially Du He is now presiding over the affairs of Taiwan, even if he avoids his hometown and does not interfere here, it is not reasonable to completely isolate it from the matter.

"In the old years, the countryside was dilapidated, forced by Hu Wei, had to leave the hometown of Nantou, fortunately the general helped to fall, so that this body will not be poor and withered, and more fortunate to be able to do one or two talents for the king. I have been away from my hometown for a long time, and the situation in Guanzhong is not allowed to go deeper. ”

In the face of Shen Zhezi's inquiry, Du He just replied like this, and did not hide his idea of avoiding this matter.

He has worked with the general for many years, and he can be said to know each other deeply, even if there is no experience of Hongnong Yang's past, from Huainan to today's Tianzhong, you can also feel the general's vigilance and suppression of the local township sect stealing the king's life. Even in previous years, many decrees related to this were issued by him, and now that the same situation is his turn, he can naturally correct his attitude and make concessions to avoid suspicion.

Du He was able to say this, and Shen Zhezi was quite pleased. To be honest, the harm of Guanzhong is even worse than that of the Central Plains, which is also due to the perennial turmoil in Guanzhong. Although Shen Zhezi was not on the front line in the follow-up war, all the generals of the Wang Division also submitted detailed reports, and if Guanzhong was not suppressed, it would be difficult for Guanzhong to achieve long-term rule.

The Jingzhao Du clan is second to none in the Guanzhong family, although there are many deficiencies in the countryside at present, but if they can take advantage of the general trend, according to their family's old reputation and appeal in Guanzhong, the resurgence and development can be seen.

The feelings of the clan and family of the people of the time are not something that can be smoothed out in the short term. Especially in the world for a long time, the practice of using the clan as a unit to survive in the troubled times is a choice full of realistic considerations.

For example, when Jiang Yu went to Chang'an during the holiday this year, one of his tasks was to gather the sages of the realm, compile the Guanlongmen Examination, and appease the hearts of those Jin people and powerful clans in Guanzhong through political recognition.

However, in the long run, suppressing the powerful and powerful of the world is also a policy that must be adhered to, and only by deducting the township capital and people's hearts of those powerful people in their respective hands can we centralize power and rule for a long time.

Du He is Shen Zhezi's long-term trusted and relied on arm, and if Du He has not been helping to preside over labor and government affairs in the past few years, Shen Zhezi would have been so calm. Especially at present, the great business is not completed, and he needs these important assistants to keep the same pace as him, so as not to let the so-called concepts of home and country confuse the strategy of the stage.

Especially the performance of the Yingchuan Yu clan in the Jiangdong coup d'état before, which made Shen Zhezi not trust this ruling model of wealthy families holding together and cooperating. In this Guanzhong matter, he deliberately asked Du He's opinion, but in fact, he was also secretly warning.

He didn't mind that people were choosing to work with him as a way to rebuild their business, which was natural and unavoidable. But at least at this stage, it is far from reaching the time when the public is contemptuous and selfish desires are secret, and he is willing to share the glory of the prosperous era with these meritorious portals, but that must be after the success of the Northern Expedition and the border troubles are settled.

And before that, no matter who paid too much attention to the gains and losses of the portal and ignored the general trend of management, he would inevitably be eliminated from the team, even including their own clansmen of the Shen family.

"Zhuhu has not yet been swept away, and the general trend is far from being determined. Daohui and I will meet for the great cause of the coming year, sharpen each other's minds, and not disturb each other with the dust in the road. ”

Shen Zhezi smiled and patted the back of Du He's hand, and got up to personally send Du He out of his official office.
