Between Jiankang and Jingkou, the straight-line distance is not too far, if you are not afraid of the wind and waves of the river, the waterway can be reached in less than two days. The pen and the fun and pavilion www.biquge.info and the land route was not far away, Shen Zhezi and they set out from Qu'a, and after leaving Wang Shu's field of vision, they quickly changed their formation, and the most elite troops of the Long Xi family and the Shen family guarded the Empress Dowager and the King of Langya, and they traveled day and night, and at dawn on the third day, they reached Dantu.

Since the southern crossing, the governance of Jinling County has changed several times, or Dantu or Jingkou, and now Yu Yi is governed by Jinling County in this county. As early as the day before yesterday, he got the news that Xu Mao, who had gathered Dantu, and Shen Ke, who had been in Jingkou, went to meet the Empress Dowager and King Langya together.

Compared with the eldest brother's habitual unkindness, Yu Yi has a more harmonious relationship with the queen mother. As for the other brothers, because the queen mother was still young when she got married, she had a difference between respect and inferiority after she became sensible, but her family affection was not strong.

Although many soldiers guarded her all the way and were safe, she had experienced Jiankang City's hasty escape, and the queen mother could not calm down. Along the way, he held the hand of his second son, King Langya, and when he saw his second brother Yu Yi, he was already in tears: "I'm really afraid that it will be difficult to see my brother again in this life!" ”

Compared with Yu Yi's hesitation, Yu Yi has more experience over the years and is much more mature. The queen mother was so sad, he couldn't help but burst into tears, especially the sudden death of his eldest brother, which made him feel sad. But at the same time, he also knows that he is now the pillar of the Yu family, and the eldest brother has left this mess, only he can support it, otherwise it will really be a ruin of the country.

The great luck in the current misfortune is that the queen mother was rescued from the capital, if not, it will be a catastrophe for the Yu family. Yu Yi knew that his qualifications and prestige were far from being comparable to the eldest brother, and it was even more difficult for him to take on this heavy responsibility by himself. Therefore, Shen Zhezi's rescue of the Queen Mother and King Langya is also a life-saving grace for his family!

While wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Yu Yi whispered to comfort the Queen Mother, and waited until the Queen Mother's mood calmed down, and then she said angrily: "Wei Zhou, this young man, still remembers to rescue the Queen Mother and King Langya from the capital when the disaster comes. Back then, Su Zu was deeply knowledgeable and rewarded, and his eyes were clever, which was really impressive. It is the luck of the queen mother to have such a good son-in-law! ”

Hearing Yu Yi say this, the Queen Mother also felt deeply: "People can't know if it's not this big disaster, how can a woman know that a good son-in-law is rare." Wei Zhou, this Langjun, is loyal and courteous, but it is a pity that he was born at the gateway of the southerners, otherwise there would be no such beautiful person in China and the DPRK. It is also a blessing for the man and the girl to get this couple, and it will benefit the mother's family......"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad, and felt that her life was far inferior to her own little girl. The disaster caused by the eldest brother ruined the foundation of the first emperor, which made her feel a lot of shame and couldn't feel at ease for a long time.

When Yu Yi heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he spoke: "The Queen Mother must not do this trick again, under the king, the difference between people is just a matter of obedience, how can it be divided between north and south." The north may not be virtuous, and the south may not be without righteous people. Now the people of the north and the south are jointly participating in the national disaster and crusading against the rebels, let alone judging the merits of this. ”

"What the second brother said is very true, I shouldn't think about it, let alone say it."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother also nodded again and again to be taught, and then looked at Yu Yi with hope: "Second brother, what should I do in such a situation now?" ”

Yu Yi frowned and muttered: "But for today's plan, counterinsurgency is the first priority. However, the Liyang soldiers were arrogant, and if the divisions of the Qin Kings in various places suddenly rose up and did not respond to each other, it was very easy to be broken by each of them. If Wang Shi loses again, the situation will inevitably become even more erosive. ”

"Although the Empress Dowager returned to the Jin Mausoleum, there was still no communication between the parties. Therefore, the top priority at the moment should be to send an edict to all parties and agree on an opportunity to send their envoys to meet with the Empress Dowager to discuss counterinsurgency matters. ”

Yu Yi's view has also been carefully considered, and now he does not have the prestige and qualifications of the eldest brother, even if the queen mother lives here, if all parties are not subject to the edict, each does its own thing, and if he loses, the situation is indeed worse, even if he wins, the royal majesty will be gone. Therefore, the only plan for today is to first erect the righteousness, and then to make progress.

"I'm already scared right now, and I have to have Brother Lao in everything. The eldest brother is no longer there, and the seal of the Chinese book will belong to the second brother. I hope that the second brother can deeply remember the country's grace and not live up to the high hopes of the emperor in my family. ”

The Empress Dowager said, and handed over the seal sent back by Yu Yi earlier, and at the same time, she also knew the gift of the law, and continued: "I know that it is slightly inappropriate for the second brother to be the middle book at the moment, but at the moment, in addition to the second brother, I also can't trust others to entrust it. He asked the second brother to temporarily take charge of the edict with a Chinese book, which was also a temporary expediency. ”

Yu Yi knelt down to accept the seal, and did not shirk, which is also what it should mean. At the same time, he also reminded: "Later, the queen mother will need to make another edict, and all parties such as Jingxiangjiang, Xu Qingyan, and Huiji will be praised and rewarded." ”

After hearing this, the queen mother also nodded again and again: "What the second brother said is exact, but how to praise all parties, I really don't have an opinion, and I still need the second brother to teach me." ”

Speaking of this, she sighed again and said: "Actually, I can't let go of the most in my heart, that is, my son-in-law Wei Zhou is still white. In the past, the eldest brother was too harsh and polite to my family's virtuous son-in-law, but I failed to speak out to persuade me, and I have been ashamed to think about it recently. Second brother, I want to take advantage of this to restore Wei Zhou, how about it? ”

When Yu Yi heard this, he also nodded and said: "Wei Zhou has an elegant pattern, and he may not be obsessed with MG. But he is indeed rewarded for his great achievements, and he is personally promoted by Su Zu, and there are still many things to do in the future, so it is really not appropriate to be in vain for too long. ”

"Then the second brother thinks it should be given to Wei Zhou? He is my family's son-in-law, and the county magistrate may not be able to. But after all, he is still young, and I am afraid that Qilu will seriously hurt his reputation, so how about being a second-class marquis? ”

The Queen Mother has actually been thinking about this matter for a long time, and now she just wants Yu Yi to see if her idea is feasible.

Even if he already admired Shen Zhezi very much, when he heard the words of the Queen Mother, he couldn't help but sweat. Not to mention that the empress dowager herself felt that the county prince who had been rewarded too much, even the second-class marquis she identified at the moment was too heavy for a person like Shen Zhezi who had not yet become a leader. It must be known that even the generals of Jingzhou's hundred battles share the heavy responsibilities of Shaanxi, and now the title is only a second-class marquis!

"In this matter, I think we should still ask Wei Zhou's opinion. He came behind His Royal Highness, and these two days should be almost there, so there is no need to rush at once. ”

Although he felt that something was wrong in his heart, Yu Yi's personality was not as strong as that of the eldest brother, so he only delayed it tactfully.

When the queen mother heard this, she shook her head and said: "Since there should be a reward, how can there be a reason to inquire about it." Besides, Wei Zhou is polite and righteous, how can he be a direct invitation, why embarrass the juniors. ”

After Yu Yi heard this, he didn't dare to continue this topic, and turned to something else. In the end, they agreed to establish a platform in Jingkou in mid-April, and before that, they would allow all localities to defend their homeland in the name of rebellion and not be trapped by thieves.

Next, Shen Ke and other merchants from the north and south of Beijing greeted the Queen Mother, each with offering materials and rituals to comfort the Queen Mother.

Shen Zhezi fell behind, not all of them were the queen of the palace, he had a more important thing to do, that is, to completely block Wang Shu's passage to the east.

Between Jiankang and Jingkou, although the road is not long, it is not a horse and a flat river to arrive in an instant, and there are many hills and ravines along the way. For example, Qu'a, because it is located in the remnants of Maoshan Mountain, a little repair between the mountains can build a camp as a line of defense.

And further east, after Jurong, there is also such a dangerous place in the territory of Dantu, called Daye. Daye is known as the Jingkou barrier, where a camp is built, and the garrison is firmly defended, which can block the eastward advance of the western army. Whether it is to stop Wang Shu or to resist the eastward advance of the Liyang army, there is no room for loss here.

Earlier, Yu Tiao was responsible for the evacuation of refugees from the two counties on the outskirts of Beijing, and Shen Zhezi had already signaled to him to prepare sufficient manpower and materials here in Daye in advance. When the Empress Dowager and others marched, Shen Zhezi's rear army converged with Yutiao, and immediately mobilized the labor here to devote themselves to the construction of the camp.

It is true that strategically it is necessary to despise the enemy, and Shen Zhezi also knows that even if Liyang is powerful, it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time, but he cannot but pay attention to it tactically. Although his army was slightly inferior, and he had never directly led the troops to fight with the Liyang Army, he was well aware of the brilliant achievements of the Liyang Army.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi also attaches great importance to this great cause. While there are many factors that can determine victory or defeat, and it is not just a matter of relying on a strong fortress, it is not too much to be well prepared while there is still time to do so.

A large number of rocks mined from the mountains near the left have been continuously transported here, as well as cement that was expensive and could not be mass-produced and was only used as a military emergency reserve. Here has been close to the entrance of Beijing, the material configuration is extremely convenient, regardless of the cost of investment, thousands of people day and night to work, in just a few days, a majestic camp across the valley has risen from the ground!

The style of this camp is made in the form of a dock wall that Du He is familiar with. Guanzhong has experienced turmoil, and since the Eastern Han Dynasty, there have been frequent wars, and it has not recovered so far. Therefore, this kind of dock wall has been tested by many wars, and technically it is a little bit repaired at the cost of life, as long as the supply of materials continues to be extinct, it can block several times the enemy's onslaught and cannot be broken!

Duhe was also amazed at the cement, which was far more cohesive than mortar, and in his opinion, if this kind of city-building weapon was popularized in the north, it would be possible to build a city of several zhang in ten days, and advance step by step, step by step, and the crude siege methods of the slaves would not be a problem.

Therefore, he couldn't help but pull the Shen family craftsman to ask about the cement making skills, but where did ordinary craftsmen know about this secret method. When Shen Zhezi smiled bitterly and explained Du He's doubts, Du He realized that the high cost of this seemingly unsightly dust was really daunting. Where such a camp is made of earth and stones, it is clearly a copper coin base!

This is also where Shen Zhezi is distressed, in fact, the cement that his family has fired with a lot of money is slightly inferior to the local cement of later generations. The only advantage over today's mortars is that they set faster and the bond strength is only slightly higher. If you are not in a hurry, it is really not worth replacing mortar.

But sometimes things are just a matter of seizing the day, and when this camp was erected not long after, the army of Wang Shu chased after him.
