0335 Anointing the Sons of Rice
Even though he has been on the road and left Qu'a for a long time, Ji You's thinking is still not very clear, as if he was in a dream. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info He has long believed in Shen Zhezi, and he knows that Shen Zhezi has always planned and then acted, and will not be willful, but now the fact is that these people, more than 100 people led by Shen Zhezi, plus him and his family, a total of more than 200 people, actually want to recover Jiankang in the hands of the chaotic army!
Even though Ji You has always had a lot of confidence in Shen Zhezi, no matter what he thinks, he feels that this matter is absurd and almost a joke. When Jiankang was lost earlier, there were tens of thousands of guards, and many Taiwanese celebrities were easily conquered by Liyang. He really couldn't imagine how these people would recover Jiankang and rescue the emperor with their current situation.
But looking at Shen Zhezi's attachés, it doesn't seem to be as simple as a joke. Shen Zhezi's more than 100 attachés, in addition to his family's elite subordinate Qu Longxi, there are also Xu Mao, who suddenly became famous because of the war against Zhang Jian, Tao Hong, the grandson of Tao Kan, who is now the governor of the capital, and Yu Manzhi, the son of Yu Yi, the Chinese scholar, and many children of the north and south, such as Kong Ming, the son of Huiji Kong Tan, Xie Yi, the son of Xie Pei, the former great Shangshu, and so on.
The children of these families have either become famous, or they are still unknown. Regardless of the talent, every background is not simple, since they came here with Shen Zhezi, they should have some confidence in this matter, it can't be as simple as sending them to death. Thinking about it like this, Ji You's mood was much more stable.
The group walked cautiously, and there were not too many twists and turns along the way. Although Jiankang has fallen for a long time, and the area around Gyeonggi has been cleaned many times like a plough court sweeping hole, it is impossible to say that it is completely impenetrable and there are no loopholes in the warning, and it cannot be achieved with the current manpower and technical conditions.
Shen Zhezi and his group climbed mountains and waded through rivers and walked along secluded paths, and occasionally encountered some watchtowers and arrow towers built on high posts to monitor the area near the left. These watchtowers are often built at the intersection of the four roads, and do not stand all over the mountains. And many of them have been emptied, and there are no soldiers stationed.
It was inevitable that the war would develop to this point, and all the armies were blocked from all sides, and it was difficult for the formed army to get close to Gyeonggi. Coupled with the shortage of manpower, instead of arranging so many manpower scattered outside to do some useless guards, it is better to retreat to the city to increase the city's defense force.
In the past few years, Shen Zhezi has often traveled to the suburbs of Beijing, and he is no stranger to the surrounding scenery. In just a few months, what I saw was a complete change, many estates and other properties near the mountains and rivers were completely destroyed, large areas of mountains and forests were cut down, the mountains were full of large and small potholes left by the mining of rocks, and there were many corpses that had completely rotted, no one picked up and thrown them in the wilderness.
Most of the villages on the outskirts of Beijing have been abandoned, and there are occasional shacks for refugees between inaccessible ravines, often inhabited by the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the prime-age labor force has been requisitioned.
When approaching the south fence gate outside the capital, the vigilance force on the road increased significantly, not only there were fixed sentry barracks along the way, but there were also many soldiers cruising back and forth on the road.
Shen Zhezi and the others temporarily took refuge in an abandoned manor that deviated from the main road, and then instructed Liu Meng and a few other nimble Longxi pawns to sneak into the city and contact the people who had been arranged in the capital earlier.
Now that they have penetrated deep behind enemy lines, and even in the center of enemy-occupied areas, although the children of the various families who have followed them all the way are not lacking in horror, they are more still novel and excited.
A group of people sat on the ground in the half-collapsed manor house, which was leaking everywhere, and took out the bread and biscuits they carried to eat, and did not complain because of the poor conditions. Although he had seen this scene many times during the trip, Ji You still couldn't help but be a little curious in his heart, and he didn't understand what means Shen Zhezi used to make these anointed children who were accustomed to brocade clothes and jade food so obedient.
Although Ji You stayed behind enemy lines, he didn't suffer too much harsh treatment, but was protected as an example of surrender, so he was quite surprised by the hard-working behavior that these family disciples are now exuding, and couldn't help but ask Shen Zhezi in private: "The law of Wei Zhou Imperial Crowd is really impressive, how can these people be willing to listen to it so much?" ”
Shen Zhezi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, he himself was a big man, and he naturally had no lack of experience in how to rectify these people. What arrogant character or habits people have, they are all used to it, and in the final analysis, there is only one reason, which is not cleaned up.
If someone else were to change to these children of the family, they might still be a little helpless, but in front of Shen Zhezi, the origins they relied on were not very good, and Shen Zhezi naturally would not be polite to them. Earlier, in the Great Cause Pass, it was a drill, a drill to the death, anyway, for him, these people can be used or not, and they are free to stay.
Of course, at the beginning, Shen Zhezi was also criticized by some people, such as having a cold temperament and treating the old harshly, so many people's children couldn't bear the hardships and left with resentment, and Shen Zhezi didn't keep them. However, after the defeat of Zhang Jian in World War I, with the name of this great victory, the original criticism has also changed the style of conversation, and it has become a strict management of the army, which has won praise such as martial arts.
Because of this, more of the children of those families came to join him, and even many of them who quit earlier were beaten by the elders of the family and sent back to the army.
After all, the current trend of Xuanxuan has not yet reached its peak, and there are only a few really noble overseas Chinese families, and they can do it as an official while lying down, and there are only a few who are admiring and enterprising. More people still need to be brave and enterprising, and create achievements in order to be useful. Such a major event as counterinsurgency is naturally a good opportunity to get ahead.
Shen Zhezi here, on the one hand, has an amazing record, and on the other hand, his own identity is here, and it is obvious that he can have more opportunities to get ahead by taking refuge in him. And now that the Shen family is big, it is an indisputable fact, and Shen Zhezi is also sure of his future appearance, not to mention the black-headed three dukes, even if he enters the dynasty to govern, it is a predictable future. Joining his command to form a friendship with his colleagues, even if he has no merit, it is a good political capital to be familiar.
So now Shen Zhezi's camp can be said to be a concentration of the second generation, and Shen Zhezi has always been willing to bury a shadow for others, so naturally he doesn't talk about it at all. In addition to the extremely intensive drills, the children of these families in his army even had to be assigned to do the miscellaneous work done by many people. In the current atmosphere of unanimous optimism about him, if anyone who is unable to withhold himself from the camp will be embarrassed and useful, and it will be a disservice to his future political future.
If it can succeed in infiltrating Jiankang this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first contribution to the entire counterinsurgency war. If anyone comes with the team, it is really an extremely heavy grace of support, which can be used as a lifetime of political capital to show off. Therefore, when selecting attachés, in addition to considering the role that these people's respective backgrounds can play, the main thing is the closeness of these people's daily performance and relationship.
Tao Hong needless to say, Shen Zhezi mainly relied on him to get direct communication opportunities with Tao Kan of the Western Army. Yu Manzhi is Yu Yi's son, Jiankang was lost from the Yu family, and the Yu family made efforts to recover Jiankang, which was very helpful for future arrangements. Huiji is the base camp of his family, and bringing Kong Tan's son is also very helpful for the operation of Dongyangzhou.
Shen Zhezi's cousin Shen Yun is the son of his third uncle, although he is still far from entering the office, it does not prevent him from coming to make a meritorious service in advance. If it weren't for the fact that the baby was not easy to bring, Shen Zhezi even thought about sending someone back to his hometown to bring his little brother Shen Jin, but the food was inevitably a little too ugly.
The other dozen or so people are also in the north and south of the family and have a good relationship with the Shen family. Of course, these people also have a certain amount of force value, and they won't drag their feet too much. It is said that even if they die in the turmoil later, at least they can still get a piece of mourning, and their families can't complain about Shen Zhezi.
Among them, there is also a special one, that is, Chen Jun Xie Yi. The Xie family had a Xie Kun earlier, so his family as a whole flaunted Xuanfeng, and politically it was more leaning towards the Qingxu family such as the Langya Wang family. Although his father Xie Pei served as the Great Shangshu for a period of time, the whole family is actually still in decline, and the Chen Jun Yuan family, Chen Liuruan family, Yang Zhai Chu family, etc., which are currently married, have either declined or have not yet risen.
Shen Zhezi was willing to bring Xie Yi, in addition to selling Yu Tiao to save face, there was also a reason for Chu Jiye. Chu Jiye did him a big favor, and now his butt is sitting upright, but because he is in Jingkou Xingtai, it is inconvenient to summon him, so he will bring his brother-in-law. And Xie Yi also performed well in the army, although his personality was slightly irritable, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Shen Zhezi.
After leaving the barracks, there was no such strict relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the atmosphere among everyone was harmonious, and they sat around to discuss the current situation. Although they were full of confidence and followed Shen Zhezi all the way to the outskirts of Beijing, they didn't know much about Shen Zhezi's specific plan. Earlier, it was because Shen Zhezi ordered not to ask too much, but now that he has arrived outside the capital, everyone is curious about what Shen Zhezi thinks.
Hearing someone ask about this, Shen Zhezi smiled and said: "Although there is no shortage of plans in my heart, after all, the recent evolution of the situation in Duzhong is too chaotic, and I have to contact the people in Duzhong first to understand the latest situation in Duzhong, so I can look forward again." ”
Although he still answered the question, everyone was a little relieved to hear that Shen Zhezi still had arrangements in the capital. After all, with Shen Zhezi's earlier victory as a foreshadowing, and now they are also in danger together, if they are not sure, Shen Zhezi will not take them to the dangerous place.
"Raccoon dog, you go and take charge of the vigilance. After Liu Wei and the others came back, they immediately attracted here. ”
Sleeping in the open all the way, day and night, everyone was really tired, Shen Zhezi sent his cousin Shen Yun to be in charge of the sentry.
When Shen Yun heard this, his face fell, he was already young among the crowd, his physical strength was lacking, and he was also tired. But since the lord will come down, he does not dare to disobey the order, so he can only get up and rub and go out.
Xie Yi patted the crumbs on his body and stood up and said, "I'm going with Gorou." ”
Looking at Shen Yun's sad face, Shen Zhezi's heart rippled with evil pleasure, this kid's mouth was too cheap, he was absent from school at home in the early years, it was this kid who went to make a small report, and he was reprimanded by the third uncle a lot. Now that he has the opportunity to rectify him, how can he miss it. Besides, he didn't expect Shen Yun to go into battle to kill the enemy, and he could get a few more points if he worked a little harder in the future.
