Shen Zhezi talked to Yu Yi about this, it was by no means untargeted, or unfounded. Because the location of Shouchun is too important, especially in this situation of confrontation between the north and the south, whether it is the Jiangdong Imperial Court guarding the Huai Baojiang River, or the north coming south, it is the most important strategic place.

Since Yongjia, more than 300 years of turbulent times, northern and southern expeditions, and all large-scale wars, almost all of them are related to Shouchun. Among them, the most famous battle of the former Qin Weishui, its main battlefield is not far from the city of Shouchun Bagong Mountain. The most significant time that the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, Yang Guang, the Yang Emperor of the Sui Dynasty who was the king of Jin at the time, set up his headquarters in Shouchun, controlled more than 500,000 troops, and went south to destroy Chen.

For the northern imperial court, the three main roads in the south, from Xiangyang to the Han Dynasty, from the Han River to the Yangtze River, this road is too far away from the Jiangdong Imperial Court's Jiankang, and there are many variables in the intermediate process.

The disadvantage of crossing Huaiyin from Pengcheng and Xiapi to Guangling is that the river is forty miles wide, which is too high for the naval army and the overall national strength. In addition, the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was fundamentally the people of Qing, Yan, Xu and other people who crossed to the south, and the surrounding area of Guangling has always been an important defensive place of the country, even in the Southern Dynasties, this tradition has been maintained. From there, it is extremely difficult to go south, not to mention reaching the great river, even if it breaks through the middle and desecration of the lower reaches of the Huai River.

And Shouchun this route, its starting point is in the heart of the Central Plains of the Heluo Plain, large-scale personnel and material dispatch is very convenient, from Yingshui straight into Huaishui, Huaishui through Shaobei, Weishui will reach Chaohu Lake, rush through the mouth of the Whiskers to reach the Hengjiang River, once across the Hengjiang River is to sweep the three Wu!

As far as the Southern Dynasties were concerned, the use of troops to the north, mostly from Jing and Xu, was to a considerable extent determined by the old political and military pattern. Jingzhou has been an important town in Shaanxi since ancient times, and as long as Xiangyang starts, it will open a southern gate that goes straight to China. Xuzhou is the foundation of the Jiangdong Imperial Court, with many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and the road back is worry-free.

But this does not mean that Shouchun is not important, and Shouchun is located in the middle section of Huaishui, the so-called place where the eight rivers converge. Regardless of whether the east or the west is sending troops, this is the most important route of response. If the northern regime does not have a strong and stable center, the advance of this road will be enough to split and paralyze the northern regime!

At the helm of Shouchun, for Shen Zhezi, this is the first time he has touched a strategic place that can affect the general trend of the world. All the efforts before can be said to be all for today! Only in this position can he really have the means and ability to directly affect the pattern of the north and the south!

It is true that among the three major towns in Jiangbei, Yuzhou is the most inferior. But at this point in time, Jingzhou Tao Kan is dying, although he is still fighting hard, but once the authority is handed over, it will inevitably make Jingzhou's subordinates have turmoil, and there is no longer more energy to look forward to.

As for Xuzhou, the situation has always been complicated, and the typical defense is more than enough and the progress is insufficient. If the internal contradictions are not sorted out, there will be no opportunity to work together and go all out!

Therefore, although Yuzhou has the shallowest background and the weakest strength, in the current situation where Shi Zhao is about to transfer power and there will be violent internal turmoil, the only one who can seize this opportunity and attack lightly is Shouchun!

Under such circumstances, Shen Zhezi can't allow a fire in the backyard no matter what, and he must ensure that he is close to the Yu family, and he can't give birth to a little suspicion that can be exploited!

Without Yu Yi's strong support, it would be almost impossible for him to sit firmly in Shouchun. Even if there is the support of the Queen Mother, it is difficult, not to mention that the Queen Mother's support for him may not be the kind he is happy to see, and it is more likely that the Queen Mother even wants to transfer him back to the rear of Jiankang, instead of putting him in Shouchun, a place of long-term war.

So before the war, Shen Zhezi sent someone to send Princess Xingnan back to Jiankang, hoping to influence the queen mother and the emperor through the princess, not to believe people's words, and to transfer him away from the Shouchun front.

If this opportunity is missed this year, if you want to remedy it, you may not have this opportunity within ten years! And even if you seize the opportunity in the future, the price you will have to pay at that time will definitely be much greater than now.

If you want to sit firmly in Shouchun, Shen Zhezi's current authority is definitely not enough. Although he now actually has the power to take charge, he is still nominally only a subordinate official of Yuzhou Assassin Shi Yuyi, and even if he wins many times, he is not even qualified to directly submit the battle plan and battle report to Taichung.

In other words, even if Shen Zhezi has recovered Huainan and Shouchun now, if his battle report has not been confirmed and submitted by the Yuzhou Assassin Mansion, if Taichung wants to be restrained, he can not admit this result at all. As for his behavior of showing favor to those Huainan Dock Masters and promising great achievements, it is just nonsense!

Shen Zhezi's current official position is only the general of Xizhong Lang and the Taishou of Liang County. Of course, this general is already considered high, but if it is not worthy of a specific ministry, it is just a title. After the holiday, only then can they independently lead the troops into battle. But these alone are far from enough to sit firmly in Shouchun.

Even if the original old department of Liang County didn't care about Shen Zhezi's position, it would be difficult for these newly voted Huainan Dock Lords to suppress if they didn't have enough names to govern them. Even Guo Yu and Mao Bao, who cooperated with the operation this time, Shen Zhezi did not have the power to directly dispatch, and they had to pass through the Yuzhou Assassin Mansion.

Once the war becomes fierce, it is necessary to carry out a large-scale deployment of troops, and it is okay to do it once or twice, but if you frequently leave the Assassin Mansion aside, you will regard Yu Yi as nothing. No matter how good the relationship is, it will become awkward.

Therefore, if you want to justifiably govern Shouchun, Shen Zhezi must take a step forward in terms of fame. Even if he can't open the government for the time being because of his age, Huainan Taishou is the most basic, and militarily he must obtain the post of supervising the army.

In the future, even if Shen Zhezi still has to be subordinate to Yu Yi's Yuzhou Assassin Mansion, if he wants to preside over the war in the coming year, he also needs to separate Liang County and Huainan into a separate combat zone, which he will completely control.

Therefore, these problems should be explained to Yu Yi in advance, so as not to cause any unnecessary discord between each other. And Yu Yi is honest, or because he has an overly strong brother, he is not a strong person, which is also one of the prerequisites for the Shen family to be able to walk with the Yu family now.

If Yu Bing is replaced and Yu Yi, who is not yet in the climate, is in charge of the Yu family, the two will inevitably part ways when they cooperate to this point.

Now that the boundary of Yuzhou Town is directly advanced to Huaishui, there will inevitably be a large-scale adjustment in the personnel structure. Since Shen Zhezi has decided to sit in Shouchun in the coming day, then the rear of Liang County, he hopes to hand it over to Yu Tiao.

Yu Tiao is now in Linchuan, Jiangzhou, although he was also considered at the time, but now it seems that Yu Tiao's role in Jiangzhou is far less than in Jiangbei. In the future, Yuzhou and Xuzhou will inevitably have closer ties, and Yu Tiao was quite popular among the military leaders in Guangling in his early years because of the relationship between the hidden lords.

Yu Yi originally hoped to transfer Yu Yi, the youngest of the brothers, to Liang County, which would serve as the most important supply base in the Huainan region in the future, which was not too dangerous and had enough experience.

But Shen Zhezi already regarded Liang County as his own private land, and no matter how he compared, he felt that Yu Tiao was still a little more suitable than Yu Yi. If you really want to choose Yu Yi, it is better to directly let Du He stay in Liang County. So he simply refused on the grounds that Liang County was heavy and Yu Yi's qualifications were still shallow. I don't know how he has the confidence to say such things, you must know that Yu Yi is also his brother-in-law in terms of seniority, and he is much older than him.

But Yu Yi just listened to Shen Zhezi's words, and at the same time couldn't help complaining that the eldest brother suppressed the brothers too much when he was alive. Yu Yi is now approaching the age of establishment, but he has not been useful, he is still white in his twenties, and he can't come up with a convincing enough resume when he is employing people now.

Yu Tiao was transferred to Jiangbei, so the Yu family would no longer stay in Jiangzhou. This is a pity for Yu Yi, although Taichung has intended to let Yuzhang Taishou Zhong Ya take over Jiangzhou in charge of Tao Kan in the future, but with the great trend in recent years, Yu Yi also has this idea.

Now the brothers of the Yu family, except for Yu Bing, who is scattered in the capital, occasionally shows his presence in the center, and the rest of the three are all concentrated in Yuzhou. Hefei and Huainan have been regained one after another, and Liyang has also become a stable rear.

Now that he has arrived in Shouchun, Yu Yi is not in a hurry to leave, and simply comes forward to appease the villagers in the realm.

In the early years, the slaves sent troops, but they only hit the ancestral covenant who was sitting in Shouchun, and took away nearly 20,000 households on the left side of Shouchun City. As for the farther countryside, the damage was not great. The middle section of Huaishui is one of the concentrated areas guarded by the dock wall, especially around the periphery of Shaobi, with convenient water conservancy and no lack of fertile land, which is enough to recuperate.

After Shen Zhezi settled in Shouchun, he took over the information obtained from the Qiannu's exploration of the surrounding dock walls and Dingkou in the past two years. There are hundreds of large and small dock walls in this realm.

In the past two years, Peng Biao has either broken through or coerced here, and nearly 200 families have disappeared, and this part of the population is now directly controlled by Huainan. Among them, in addition to the more than 3,000 households who directly stayed in several cities such as Shouchun, there were also more than 1,000 households who were dispatched to various Tuntian forts.

Therefore, in the first battle of Huainan, the direct population harvest alone reached more than 30,000 people.

As for the remaining dock walls, more than 100 of them still live deep in the mountains and wilderness, and they are closely concerned about foreign affairs. For these people who do not know the current affairs and pretend to live in Taoyuan, Shen Zhezi will not be polite, and will be the main target of the cleanup in the next few months.

If the families who took the initiative to take refuge were divided into clans, there were also seventy or eighty households. It doesn't seem like much, but these people who dare to poke their heads out in the chaotic battle to make trade-offs are not weak. Among them, the least of them gathered nearly 100 households, and there were five or six households with more than 1,000 households, all of which were tyrants of one township sect.

In this way, in the Huainan War alone, not to mention the land and cities gained, the simple people obtained amounted to 120,000! Of course, most of them can't be directly grasped at the moment, but this number is enough to make Yu Yi and Shen Zhezi overjoyed.

Although the production of cantonment depends on the season and is cyclical, if such a large number of people are under control, many problems that were originally difficult to solve can be solved! Such an astonishing harvest is quite a joy of getting rich for people like them, who are accustomed to taking in wasteland and running it from scratch. 8)
