Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1169
In the camp of General Huayin, in addition to a group of civil and military officials, there is also a group of special escorts.

It's not just the township leaders headed by the Xue family from Hedong. After all, the current Xingtai is a behemoth that controls the east of Tongguan and the south of the Yellow River, and it is where the orthodox Jin Zuo is now. There are also some Bianyi representatives staying on the sidelines.

Because Hedong is close to Tongguan, Wang Shi's military expedition to the west is closely related to their local interests, so the number of villagers accompanying the army this time is the largest.

Xue Tao's tent in the camp was often overcrowded, and naturally they were all panic-stricken villagers.

Xue Tao is also really distressed about this. If he was so trusted and respected by the villagers in the past, Xue Tao would probably take pleasure in it. But now the fate of the Hongnong Yang family is in front of him. It is true that the villagers acted like this Putting him on the stove to bake him, I don't know when the bottom line in General Shen's heart will be crossed.

Xue Tao would not be so arrogant as to think that their Xue family in Hedong could be compared with the famous Hongnong Yang family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and that their Xue family is just a little more powerful in Hedong.

Perhaps Xue's family is better than the current Hongnong Yang's in terms of actual rural capital and situation, but after seeing how the Yang family's Wubi was destroyed, he also knows that his family's Fenyin Wubi is really worthless. Beauty is not enough.

"Brother Xue, you are now a staff officer praised by the general. You know a lot about military affairs, and the stone cannons used by the king's army..."

One person in the table couldn't hold back and asked, Xue Tao was already awe-inspiring when he heard this, he waved his hands hurriedly and said: "Military affairs are important, don't dare to talk lightly!"

Even though the rest of the townspeople were full of curiosity, they didn't dare to ask any more questions after hearing this, and there were quite a few people who looked out of the camp with a little timidity, fearing that such a taboo topic would be heard.

Master Wang is powerful, and everyone has seen it with their own eyes. Aside from his bravery and armor, the most shocking thing to these villagers is naturally the general cannon that knocked down a solid dock wall within a few breaths.

Hedong Township has been in chaos for a long time, and the villagers present here are able to survive until now. Naturally, they rely on the high walls of the dock to resist foreign invasion. This is their greatest reliance.Even the Han Zhao Xiongnu and Jie Hu Shi Zhao who ravaged the north in the early years had trade-offs when they chose to attack Wubi. Once they realized that the gain was not worth the loss, they gave up and did not attack.

But now Master Wang has such a heavy weapon, and those Wubi they are proud of are all useless under such an offensive. In other words, once Master Wang chooses to attack them, their personal safety will no longer be guaranteed at all!

This is the reason why these township tycoons really respect Xingtai, because no matter how powerful the Wang Shibu team is, if they want to pull down the Wubi that spreads across the countryside one by one, they have to make choices, and they often give up because the gains outweigh the losses. So choose to compromise.

But now that this level of struggling space no longer exists, they naturally have no confidence when facing the platform, and they must either submit or die.

Especially during this period of time, they have witnessed with their own eyes how the Hongnong Yang family quickly degenerated from a famous family in the world to become a local evil traitor that everyone crusades against. order.

And during this whole process, Wang Shi's army never stopped conquest, and directly uprooted Guo Jing's troops of Jie Kingdom who were entrenched outside Sanfu!
With both powerful military force and such efficient ability to rejuvenate the land, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they really wouldn't believe it.

Therefore, what attitude Xingtai will take to deal with the Hedong issue has naturally become the focus of attention of these villagers.Right now, they have completely dared not have the slightest idea of ​​boycotting and resisting, but they also earnestly hope that General Shen can take care of his hometown and not suppress them too much.

Xue Tao naturally has a deep understanding of the mentality of the villagers, because he himself can't help thinking this way.However, during this period of time, General Shen has been busy with many military and political affairs, and he really didn't dare to take the liberty to ask for a visit and disturb him.

This kind of waiting was the most tormenting, and the villagers became more and more panicked, and came to harass Xue Tao more and more frequently.

Seeing that this situation is getting more and more excessive, Xue Tao couldn't sit still anymore, and decided to go to General Shen no matter what, even if he couldn't ask the travel agency's attitude towards Hedong, he still had to make a brief statement to General Shen , I have no idea of ​​linking up with the rural situation and self-reinforcing the rural environment, so as not to follow in the footsteps of the Hongnong Yang family.

So after sitting in the tent for a while, Xue Tao arranged for his family members to receive these villagers on his behalf, while he went to the outside of General Shen's camp and asked the sergeant to notify him to come in.

After a while, the sergeant went out to lead Xue Tao in.After entering the account, Xue Tao saw that there were piles of documents and documents piled up on the desk in front of General Shen, and he felt a little abrupt in his heart, so he hastily stepped forward to salute: "It's really ashamed to disturb the general when he is busy. "

Shen Zhezi laughed after hearing the words, and leaned slightly in the table to signal Xue Tao to enter the table, and said with a smile: "It is not appropriate for Xue Jun to say that, the king's order is used, and I should work hard. I am not in charge of this situation exclusively. You have to show your heart, Hongnong is the same, and the same is true in Hedong. The rural feeling and poverty are within my duty. Mr. Xue, you are a virtuous and strong man in the county, and the rural feeling is close to you. Since you are here to see me at this moment, I must have to tell you stop?"

Hearing this, Xue Tao felt awe-inspiring in his heart. What General Shen said, it can be seen that the villagers have been thinking about their words and deeds during the recent period, and he is also on the sidelines.Right now everyone is in the camp, which is naturally normal.

What really made Xue Tao feel uneasy was General Shen's words about the use of the king's orders, so he limited the later conversations to only discuss the facts, and no longer talk about the situation based on human conditions.

After pondering for a while, Xue Tao didn't intend to say anything else, and said directly: "As the general has seen, the country has been disturbed by bullshit for a long time, and all the people are eager for the restoration of the king's rule. Xue is just a commoner in the county. , all relying on meager strength to live, never having a clear reputation and prestige, only because I was lucky to be the general Yazhong when I walked into the ranks earlier, and because of this, I can be widely loved by the villagers..."

Shen Zhezi couldn't help smiling when he heard that Xue Tao was eager to get rid of his fame and status as the leader of his hometown.It is true that the Hongnong Yang family is well-known, and killing his family will inevitably have sequelae, but it is not without positive significance. At least in this area, if those villagers still want to collude with the village, then Think about whether you will encounter the same fate as Hongnong Yang's.

Although he had this thought in his heart, Shen Zhezi was still very gentle on the surface: "Mr. Xue said so, I can't agree with it. Xingtai was established in Heluo for several years. I also have a lot of knowledge about the situation in the northern counties. I understand. From my point of view, the Zunfu is somewhat different from the old Yang family in this area. The so-called old reputation is nothing more than ancestor Yu Ze. People can be beautiful, but they can't be relied on, especially not to do evil."

"In a turbulent world, talents come forth in large numbers. Xue Jun is not the only one who can make a name for himself in the world. Even I belong to this category. Born in this world, one can achieve one's own achievements, one's talent is high or low, and there is really no need to rely on dead bones in graves. Xue Jun has been sticking to one side, and without losing his chastity, he is a first-class virtuous person in this world. If no one is intimate and respectful because of this, it will be a country wind thief and a decline in virtue..."

Although General Shen had given him a high evaluation when they met on the platform, but hearing such similar words now, Xue Tao couldn't help but feel more deeply.Going deep into the fundamentals is nothing more than no matter how you evaluate it at the time, there is always a bit of empty rhetoric, which has nothing to do with interests.

But now that General Shen still treats him so courteously, it can be regarded as a real guarantee.The destructive power displayed by Master Wang is one that people dare not underestimate.If General Shen really wanted to make things difficult for his family, there was no need for him to speak ill of him at all. This was the case with the Hongnong Yang family. If there was a disagreement, the family would be wiped out immediately!

"Right now, Hongnong has made a preliminary decision, and Shangluo's thieves have been wiped out. Even if Xue Jun doesn't come to see me, I plan to invite you here to discuss how to deal with the situation in Hedong."

Hearing General Shen's words, Xue Tao immediately lifted his spirits, and then asked a little curiously: "Master Wang's streak of victories is going strong right now, so why don't we just stop at the moment and stop taking advantage of the victories?"

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he said with a smile: "Master Wang's victory lies in the majesty, the use of life by the soldiers, and the clear rewards and punishments. It is not about taking advantage of the situation to travel, and it doesn't matter to take advantage of the situation to be exhausted. It is deep winter now. , if Master Wang goes deeper into the Sanfu, everything will be in a hurry, and if the army moves, the people will inevitably suffer, and they can no longer live in simplicity, wandering the countryside, lacking comfort, and I don’t know how many people will not be able to survive this harsh winter.”

"The great general thinks about his actions and plans, and his benevolence persists. He really deserves his high reputation in the world, and the king's order is reused!"

After Xue Tao heard the words, he flattered him a little, and at the same time, he was moved by the strong self-confidence expressed in these words. Master Wang is strong because he is strong in himself, so he doesn't need to be coerced by any situation to go deep.

The meaning revealed beyond these words is naturally that the military operation is temporarily over, and the next step must be to digest the results of the battle, and at the same time to broaden and consolidate the rear channels to support further conquest operations.And an important link in this is naturally the rule of Hedong.

Regarding Hedong, in fact, Shen Zhezi already had a preliminary plan. Unlike Hongnong who completely broke the order of the nostalgia and then created a new order from the wreckage, he was planning to temporarily maintain the current state of Hedong. , without drastic changes.

The reason for doing so is also based on several considerations.

On the one hand, the current focus is on Guanzhong. Although the war has come to an end now, after the spring plowing in the coming year, it is inevitable to raise troops again and attack the Sanfu in Guanzhong.During this period of truce, various resources such as manpower and material use are not inexhaustible, and there must be choices.

Hongnong is already like this, and with the addition of Shangluo, if he insists on bringing the whole of Hedong into the scope of rectification, it will inevitably be a bit too heavy, and it will be difficult to achieve perfection in a short time.After all, the prosperity and governance of a place cannot rely solely on force. The establishment of order, the appeasement of the living people, and the relocation and granting of farming all require a lot of manpower and material input. A slight negligence in doing these things in the cold winter will affect countless people. The lives of the people are needlessly damaged.

On the other hand, the pressure on the frontier defense under Hedong is also very high. Although Shi Sheng was defeated, he still retained a certain strength, especially with Pingyang, Taiyuan and other places as his back, and obtained the most precious strategic depth for fleeing. Difficult to solve in the short term.

As for Guo Jing being wiped out so easily, it was because all parties surrounded him tightly within a limited area. In the face of head-to-head encounters, Wang Shi came with great momentum, so naturally he could fight quickly and encircle and annihilate him.

Before Guanzhong was pacified, Shen Zhezi did not plan to open another front.In other words, his current requirement for Hedong is only to ensure that the side roads of the Western Expedition will not be disturbed.

Based on these considerations, he decided to leave a buffer transition period for Hedong, so that Hedong can be relatively smoothly integrated into the order of Taiwan, and he does not strive for temporary success.Of course, it is impossible for the people in Hedong to completely maintain the old state, and necessary adjustments and changes are inevitable.

　I am a bit exhausted today, so I will update it first, and make up for it tomorrow. . .
