Leaving the princess's room, it was already very late, Shen Zhezi originally planned to summon Shen Jin to talk again, but seeing that the sky was like this, he also gave up, although he took a nap in the princess's room before, it was not enough to make up for the consumption of most of the past half a year, and now he was tired again, so he simply went directly to the living room next to him to sleep.

Early the next morning, probably because the news of Shen Zhezi's return to the town had not yet spread, or even if anyone in the know, they did not dare to come to the door rashly to disturb it, so the entire industry was still quiet.

Although Shen Zhezi relaxed after returning home, his long-term strict sitting and biological clock were extremely difficult to disrupt, so he got up early in the morning and did not stay in bed until three poles in the morning.

Shen Jin, this kid, was very interesting, and he didn't wait for his brother to take the initiative to summon him, so he waited outside the door early.

After Shen Zhezi finished washing, he asked Shen Jin to come in and have breakfast together. Shen Jin lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes at this time, and occasionally peeked at his brother, his expression was full of apprehension.

When Shen Zhezi saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel that in front of this little brother, he was probably already a stern image who was not close to people. In fact, as early as when he was overseeing the war in the Northland, he found that he did have some emotional problems, he was too depressed, his mood was invisible, and he was not as approachable as he was in his early years.

Originally, Shen Zhezi still felt that it should be due to his own pressure, and it must be known that Huainan's use of things this time seemed to be much better than Shi Hu's southern invasion in the early years, but because of the big picture, this was also a gamble on the future for Shen Zhezi.

Once it is unfavorable, not to mention its own fortune and misfortune, at least in the next few years, Jiangdong will no longer have the strength to launch a large-scale Northern Expedition, and will have to sit back and wait for the opportunity of the Northern Expedition to pass.

Today, this history has long been changed beyond recognition due to his intervention, but many basic laws still exist. For example, despite the strong intervention of the Huainan Army, the ultimate winner of Hebei was still Shi Hu.

Shi Hu is indeed tyrannical and cruel, but he is not weak in ability, for example, now, after knowing that the Jin army will not continue to operate in Hebei, he did not blindly obsessed with the southern invasion, but returned to continue to develop to the rear.

Before Shen Zhezi returned from Heluo, he heard that Shi Hu had sent troops to Liaodi, and he quickly fought with Xianbei Murong. The reason seems to be because Shi Hu used to tempt Murong Hao with the king name in order to unite the forces of Zhuhu, but as a result, the Jin army went around Hebei and went straight to Heluo, with Shi Hu's character, it was naturally impossible to give Murong Hao such a big bargain. Murong Hao was naturally annoyed and angry, but he didn't do anything yet, Shi Hu had already rushed to send troops, and even Murong Ke, who had led the army to help the war, was almost killed in the army and fled north with serious injuries.

The Murong family is quite famous in later generations, and Murong Hao and his sons are described as invincible and heroic. But to be honest, in the confrontation between Shi Zhao and Xianbei Murong, Shen Zhezi was not optimistic about Murong Hao.

First of all, the war is not fought by a few so-called heroes, especially this kind of battle involving the fortune of the clan, the foundation of the Xianbei Murong clan is too thin, when the two Zhao fight, his clan can only collect some leftovers in the cold area, and it will definitely not be Shi Hu's opponent in terms of comprehensive strength.

And the current Murong clan is still trapped in internal strife and can't extricate themselves, Murong Diao passed on the throne after Murong Diao's death, but his other son Murong Ren was not convinced and directly seized Liaodong.

On the one hand, he obstructed Murong Hao from seeking nominal support in Jiangdong, on the other hand, he secretly funded Murong Ren, and did not forget to send a ship to Liaodi to recruit and transport back many refugees who were displaced in Liaodi due to the war in the early years, which made Murong Hao very chicken-feathered and duck-blooded, and the civil strife that should have been pacified long ago has not been pacified.

Murong Ren's current power in Liaodi is not much inferior to Murong Hao, and Murong Hao is also difficult now, and he wants to seek assistance from all sides, otherwise he will not have to seek skin with the tiger. With half of the Murong clan's forces under his control, there is also a Murong Ren in the rear who is ready to replace him at any time, he is not Shi Hu's opponent at all, if it were not for the treacherous terrain of the white mountains and black waters of Liaodi to provide shelter, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even exist.

Shen Zhezi was happy to watch this kind of dog-eat-dog drama, and previously sent an envoy to Murong Hao, saying that as long as Murong Hao bowed his head and accepted the question, he was willing to help contain Shi Hu a little. However, it will take a long time for the envoy to reach Liaodong by sea, and I hope that Murong Hao will be able to survive until that time.

In other words, Shen Zhezi was quite happy to see Murong Hao's youngest son Murong Ba, if he was really sent as a hostage, if he was really not good at teaching, he might as well be killed directly. He may have a great future, but for this kind of alien race who uses the blood and flesh of the Jin people to sell their merits, even if they are killed directly, Shen Zhezi has no psychological burden.

The rest are also related to Zhongqi Qiangfu and Yao Zhi, and they can do this if they have the opportunity. At present, Liaodong is still a remote place, but Guanzhong has become a siege, and Shen Zhezi is extremely happy to directly cut off the inheritance of these heirs of Chief Hu.

However, he also knows that the key is to be tough, the five Hu ugly categories are thriving one after another, and there are certain rules, even if those who are famous in the world, they are born at the right time, rather than the fortune of gathering on someone and making waves. Even if you get rid of those people, if your own strength is still not enough, there may not be no replacements.

Thinking of those brave Hu chieftains in the future, Shen Zhezi's eyes fell on his little brother again, he thought about it, and deliberately said in a softer tone: "Ah He, so you have decided not to enter the Xinshi Pavilion anymore?" ”

When Shen Jin heard this, his shoulders couldn't help shaking, which showed that Brother Ah was very powerful. He sat upright and bowed his head to Shen Zhezi and said: "I know that my brother has high hopes for me, but I am indeed a limited endowment, and I have seen many achievements in the north, and my mind is even more difficult to peace, I just want to invest in my brother's account, and dedicate myself to the king's affairs and family business!" ”

"When you think so, it doesn't mean that you have limited endowments, but it seems that you feel that you are superior in ability and are not willing to be lonely. Wang Shi marched north, it seems that he has won many battles, but how much do you know about the hard work? Your brothers seem to have infinite scenery, and how much can you bear the hard work of their fierce battles and bloody battles? ”

Shen Zhezi said this, there was already a bit of sternness in his tone, he was a pragmatic character, and he didn't look down on the high-level masters, in his opinion, Shen Jin was eager to surrender, and he was indeed a little impetuous.

"In previous years, the family reputation was shallow, and the fathers and brothers were despised by the world, so they had no choice but to use force. I myself have also made meritorious achievements, so I will not talk to you about any remarks about the world, but I just want you to understand that in the past years, my family was famous for martial arts, not because of its talent, but because there was no choice! ”

Shen Zhezi said this, and motioned Shen Jin to come closer: "You say that you are already skilled in arching and horses, and you can go north to chase merit, and you can get fame and fame at your fingertips?" I'm not belittling you, like yours, there are tens of millions of choices under my account, and in the martial arts alone, your skills are only worthy of the last ......"

"Brother, I'm ...... I may not be able to live up to my father's and brother's expectations, but I have never slackened. It is precisely because I know the length of my endowment that I don't want to waste time doing something that is destined to be impossible. My father and brother are willing to make me knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and I will no longer seek progress with my life, but now my family is prosperous, and my relatives and elders are brave to do things, but I am still in the court, drinking ** fine, using it beautifully, people may envy me lucky, but I am always ashamed of this state! ”

Seeing that Shen Jin was a little blushing with excitement, Shen Zhezi was stunned for a moment, although he had a lot of knowledge, but in fact, there was no lack of conservatism in his heart, especially for those close to him, it was inevitable to cover up. As he said before, the name of Shen's martial arts sect is just a way out, and now that the family is getting older, he also hopes that his children can have more choices, instead of not trying, completely following the old path, and boasting about the world with martial arts.

It is true that martial arts are the heaviest in troubled times, but there will always be governance after chaos. What's more, in view of Sima Jiayin's past, Shen Zhezi didn't want his children to completely use force to make trouble, and now the general situation is uncertain, and it is true that he needs to rely on his family. But in the future, as the order gradually settles, people like Shen Mu and Shen Yun, no matter what Shen Zhezi's intentions are, they must dilute their presence in the army.

Shen Jin is still young at the moment, and he doesn't need to devote himself to the front line of the family business struggle too early, so Shen Zhezi really hopes to cultivate him into a more comprehensive talent, rather than just a martial arts career.

This is what he and his father are planning, as for Shen Jin's intentions, they actually don't care too much. Even Shen Zhezi himself, when he first came to this world, he was forced to work hard for his family business, and he was in the general trend and did not have much choice of his own. The so-called ideal or the value of life and the like, it is just a kind of extravagant thinking without sorrow, moaning without illness.

However, Shen Jin's confession made Shen Zhezi realize that in addition to ignoring Shen Jin's wishes, he also ignored a teenager's psychological endurance, especially when there was such a contrast in the court, the pressure Shen Jin was under can be imagined. In many cases, pressure is motivation, but if the pressure is too great, it can also directly pull people down.

"Since you want to join the army, then I will not obstruct it, how dangerous the world is, you must experience it to know. Father and brother can't protect you for a lifetime, and if a catastrophe comes, the scholars can't be spared. At present, the king's affairs are just improving, not being called Dachang, in order to win, your brother is still in danger of death. It is indeed useless to be able to raise the court for a long time. ”

After Shen Zhezi groaned slightly, he first agreed to Shen Jin's request, but he still did not intend to give up on Shen Jin's cultivation. Although he will not let his brother start from the low, but the cruelty of the real war will not be deliberately concealed for him, I hope that this kid will be able to restrain his impetuous temperament a little after being tempered.

"Brother promised me?"

When Shen Jin heard this, he couldn't help but jump up from the seat happily, and after a while, he was busy reining in, and then remembered the advice of several friends, and saw that the elder brother's demeanor was still normal, so he said cautiously: "Actually, in addition to me, Xie Wu and Huan San are also eager to make progress......

Shen Zhezi frowned slightly after hearing this, slightly dissatisfied. In the past, the world was trapped in retreat, far from martial arts.

However, due to Shen Zhezi's frequent achievements over the years, the world has changed, and then it has transformed into a kind of fiery and excessively hot martial atmosphere, especially for young people like Shen Jin, who are not very old and have not yet been completely stereotyped, which has a greater impact, making them think that killing the enemy and seeking merit is a very simple matter, and they are vying to join the army.

It is true that this change is benign, but if it is not controlled, it will still accumulate many disadvantages. Even before, a group of young people from all over the capital made a commotion and went north to seek merit, and actually attacked a prisoner of war camp placed by the Huainan Governor's Mansion between Liang County and Huainan.

They didn't even know the location, but when they saw that there were many Hulu people living in the camp, they were complacent and thought that they had penetrated into the Hulu occupation area, and the great achievement was just around the corner!

Huainan military law has always been known for its strictness, but if there are really children from the north and south who join the army, it is inevitable that they will be cared for. This is not something that can be prohibited by law, and even if the major issues of right and wrong can still be upheld, it is inevitable that some minor and trivial matters will be taken care of.

Therefore, today's Huainan Army is already extremely cautious about the children of Gaomen joining the army. Even if the addition of these people is not enough to reduce the overall combat effectiveness, the difference between the high and low ranks of the soldiers will cause many disputes and grievances.

Shen Zhezi was already thinking about whether to organize some summer camps and other activities on a regular basis, specifically for those high-ranking disciples who were too excited and enthusiastic to vent, so that they could see how cruel the real war and the army were, which would surely be able to dispel those people's unrealistic delusions, and at the same time select some available talents.

However, for Shen Jin's request, Shen Zhezi thought about it and agreed, but he was even deprived of the preferential treatment plan prepared for Shen Jin, and planned to send them directly to the most laborious camp to sharpen for a few months, so as not to have the courage and strength to hold a knife when he really went into battle.

Shen Jin mentioned Huan Huo, and Shen Zhezi inevitably remembered his brother Huan Wen, so he asked casually: "Huan Saburo has lived in Jiangbei for a long time, I don't know what happened to his family?" Can there be correspondence in the past? ”
