Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1183
Shen Mu's statement that he is in charge of the military affairs of the three states alone is actually an exaggeration.Taishan County, which he is currently guarding, is originally the only place to gain the upper hand in the three prefectures, and there are also several kings and horns guarding it within the territory.

Shen Mu also only has temporary supervisory authority over various groups of people. For example, when Shi Zhao's army plundered Qingzhou to the south, in normal seasons, they only managed their own affairs, and there was no clear subordinate.

Of course, such boasting is not entirely groundless, after all, the lower reaches of the Yellow River where Qingzhou is located is an independent war zone, and once a war breaks out in this war zone, Shen Mu is the primary person in charge.From this point of view, Xie Yi who guards Tongguan is indeed slightly inferior to Shen Mu.

In fact, Fangtou's Xie Ai was the most powerful of all the generals on the frontiers of Wang Shi.Even if it is not in terms of military strength, Xie Ai himself often uses false festivals, has independent conquest rights, and can launch an attack on Hebei at any time without waiting for Xingtai's instructions.This is not only out of practical needs, but also because Xingtai fully recognizes Xie Ai's ability.

Of course, when bad friends are demoting each other, why would they care about these details? The fact is that Shen Mu is indeed the No. Without these particularities, especially when being tricked for a whole day full of resentment, several people slept together at night, and the whole camp was still filled with Shen Mu's cynicism towards the other two.

Wang Shixiu's field training, his actions and deeds are arbitrary, as long as he can complete the prescribed field training tasks, the general will arrange both complicated and simple.The reason why Xie Yi wanted to pull his troops out of the old Luo army city to station in Yanshi was also because he knew that Shen Mu would come to Luo to report on his duties in the near future.Several people belittled each other, although there was no room for it, but the friendship of going through life and death and sharing adversity is also very deep.

On the third day, the report from Hulao also arrived in Luoyang, and the news that Shen Mu had entered the customs spread one after another, so from the afternoon, acquaintances and old friends gradually went to the military camp where Beiman Mountain was located to welcome them.

Standing outside the gate, Shen Mu personally greeted these friends who came to greet him, smiling so hard that his back molars could barely be seen.

Seeing that many good friends went out to greet each other, the resentment he had suffered in Xie Yi's army last night was gone, he grinned and patted Shen Yun, who was standing behind him with black eyes, and said with a big laugh: "That Xie Wuyi Idiots only pretend to treat me coldly to wipe out the reputation I have accumulated in the world. Today, you stare at your elder brother's reputation in vain! I am not too keen on these empty gifts, you You must also set the example of your eldest brother, don't indulge in too much noise, do things with peace of mind, you will receive special merit, and praise will come from you!"

Hearing this unconcealable show off, Shen Yun almost drooped the corners of his mouth to show his disdain, and at the same time sneered: "In the past, you never left town, just because you were worried that those unreliable deeds would spread everywhere, and that's all for your parents to reprimand you."

After Shen Mu heard the words, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but before he could refute, more than a dozen people came together from the other side, the leader was Ji You and Xiao Yuandong who also returned to Luoxiu for recuperation.

Seeing these people coming, Shen Mu smiled even more, strode forward and ignored the others, and cupped his hands at Ji You from a distance: "I return to Luo this time. It's too polite to come out to greet you before entering the city."

Ji You's complexion was not good at all, but after hearing this, his face darkened even more. After dismounting, he bowed his hands for a while, and didn't say anything else.

On the other side, Xiao Yuandong laughed when he saw this scene, pointed at Shen Mu and said, "Don't you know how this marriage contract came about? Ji Wenxue was already heartbroken with frustration, and you still want to announce it in front of others." explain."

As soon as these words came out, those who knew the inside story all burst into laughter.The two families of Shen and Ji became friends in the early years when the elders of the country taught General Shen, and they have been watching and helping each other for many years.According to the current world style, it is quite normal for two children to discuss marriage, and Shen Mu's son and Ji You's young lady hugged each other at about the same time.

In fact, as early as that year, the parents of the two families had the intention of getting married, but at that time the two children were both young, so the discussion was postponed.After the Su Jun Rebellion, Shen Mu took in a lot of dishonest wives during the rebellion. Although his intentions were kind, he also got the name of a lustful Meng Lang because of this.

During the days when his reputation was the most notorious, Shen Mu was also worried that his notoriety might affect his son, so he agreed with a few bad friends to take Ji You out and get drunk, and took the opportunity to sign a marriage contract to finalize the matter.Although talking is a game, but with their respective reputations, naturally there will be no regrets.

Being mentioned by bad friends about these young and absurd, not to mention that Ji You's face was even darker, Shen Mu also blushed a little for a while, laughed and said: "Looking at this world, the heart of parents is the most pure. My family is surrounded by children." Groups, although they are all young, but it is really worrying to think about how they will get along in the future. The joys and sorrows in the process are really not something you can know for those whose blood is still young."

When these words came out, some people were outraged.Of course, everyone is in their prime of life, so they won't feel sad because of it, but they are indeed full of envy when they hear Shen Mu's words that their sons and daughters are in groups.

Most of the people present are in their prime years. Although they are busy with their work, they are not so busy that they don't even have time to have a baby.For example, Ji You already has three sons and two daughters, Xiao Yuandong is a little less, and already has two daughters and one son, and even Shen Yun now has both sons and daughters.But among the crowd, apart from Shen Mu, even Xie Yi, who has the most children, currently only has six sons and two daughters. The second son died early, but he still has four sons and two daughters.

Shen Mu dared to make such a bold statement, he had full confidence.This old boy has thirteen sons and five daughters, and the production rate is not going to slow down at all. He has added five sons and two daughters in the past three years just guarding Qingzhou.

From this point of view, he commented that everyone's descendants are still thin, which is really impossible to refute.

With so many children, even if it is inevitable that they will die at the present time, it is indeed necessary to make early plans for how to marry in the future.After all, today's Shen family is different from previous years, and there are not many families who can associate with the Shen family.Thinking about it this way, it is understandable for Shen Mu to finalize a marriage first with extraordinary measures.

Just looking at Ji You's appearance, it is obvious that Shen Mu has not been forgiven.

Not to mention how others laughed, Shen Mu attached great importance to Ji You as a relative, and accompanied him all the way into the empty camp that was separated into a separate hospitality area, and he didn't take Ji You's cold face all the way as a reason. He said with a smile: "These years, I have really worked hard to educate my Anu. If that kid has rebellious deeds, please don't hesitate to show affection to me, just give me a good lesson."

Although Shen Mu had a lot of children, he was a typical example of caring for children and not caring for them. Perhaps the parents of the Shen family didn't have confidence in his parenting ability.So except for the few concubines who were still young in Qingzhou Town, the rest of the concubine's children were all raised by their father and good wife.

As for the eldest son, Shen Ji, he was simply fostered in his father-in-law's family. He is now in his teens, and started to study under the help of his father-in-law, Ji You.

"Anu Dujing knows the etiquette. He learned poetry and calligraphy early. Fortunately, he didn't like his father. On the contrary, he was a poor student in the family, and he didn't know the shame. It makes people feel sad."

Ji You was unhappy with this marriage, not because he was dissatisfied with his son-in-law, but mainly because of Shen Mu.On the contrary, he devoted himself to this son-in-law more than his own children. No matter how hard he raised him, he probably held his breath so that this absurd marriage would no longer be laughed at.

Hearing that Shen Mu is still so shameless at this moment, Ji You said with a sneer.

After Shen Mu heard the words, he felt even more embarrassing, thinking of Ji You's friendship in raising his son for him, even if he was ashamed, it was not easy to flare up, let alone he was wronged in the first place.The extra sons and daughters he had in Qingzhou in the past few years could not be born by himself alone, and naturally it was also because there were many concubines in his family.

Today's Wu Xing Shen family is already as powerful as the scorching sun, not to mention Shen Mu, in addition to being close to the Shen family, is also an important general in charge of the war zone. With such a background and status, it is difficult not to be flattered.Moreover, the rural situation between Qing, Yan and Xu has not been completely leveled off, and those powerful and powerful people in the countryside are waiting to see the wind and fall, and their ideas will inevitably hit Shen Mu.

The Shen family is rich and famous all over the world, and its popularity is great, and everyone in the world knows it.Carrying these two representatives, even if Shen Mu didn't have any hobbies, he would still be found by those swarming rural tyrants, not to mention that he is known for being lustful. And I know what kind of means those people will use to express their respect for Xingtai and the Shen family.

In this way, Shen Mu's works of color and fame are naturally more prominent, and it is inevitable that they are often mentioned by others, and it is not clear whether it is shame or envy.

But from Shen Mu's point of view, he is not all selfish. After the Jie Kingdom suffered repeated setbacks around Yecheng, the focus of its troops has also shifted. There will often be small Jie troops who secretly cross the lower reaches of the Yellow River and rush into Qingzhou to serve as soldiers. disaster.Although Master Wang is powerful, when it comes to controlling the countryside, he is not as powerful as those clan lords in the countryside. It is necessary to maintain a harmonious relationship with them.

If Shen Mu's performance is not good, the majesty will be preserved, but it will inevitably make people cowardly and afraid to get close.A certain degree of harmonious exchanges is also required by the times, not to mention that these exchanges are indeed enjoyable for Shen Mu.

Those who can make good friends with Shen Mu are naturally mostly warriors, and after getting together to say goodbye to each other, most of what they say next is naturally military.

Although the focus of the current campaign is on the Westward Expedition to Guanzhong, everyone knows that although the situation in Guanzhong is chaotic, there is not much of a dominant party that can lead the group of heroes, so there will not be many battles in Guanzhong that will be really intense.Therefore, the most important thing in the Western Expedition is to stabilize chaos and promote governance, and the military does not occupy an absolute position.

For Master Wang, the biggest enemy is Jie Zhao in Hebei, and the future Northern Expedition will be the real battlefield where they can make their name and meritorious service.Shen Mu is the coach of Qingzhou, and he has very rich experience in fighting Jie country over the years.

So after each sat down, everyone inevitably asked Shen Mu for advice.Shen Jin, Huan Huo and the others are still recuperating in Luoyang, and they will also participate in this meeting. They are still after joining the army and have little experience in fighting head-on with the Jie country. When they heard this issue being discussed in the meeting, they naturally felt very uncomfortable. Listen carefully.

"In recent years, the country of Jie has also been frank and false. Not to mention that Fangtou Xiejun used the land of Ye as a barren field and frequently used soldiers to plow it. In Qingyan alone, although the people of Jie have repeatedly crossed the south of the river and invaded, they are all exhausted. What’s more, the general plan of the Governor General’s conquest is more like a group of desolate soldiers fleeing in search of food, which is unlikely to cause serious trouble.”

When Shen Mu talked about this, his expression became a little more serious: "But these signs are all about the strength of the general situation. You should not underestimate the real formation of the battle. It suddenly became a prairie fire, and Ji Long was deeply preached, and he is also very good at it. His crowd roars like locusts, and if he uses a little power, he can rot into a disaster. Xuan and others, all of the wolf dens are blood-eating beasts, Zhang Jackal, Li Nong and the like..."

Although Shen Mu's personal style problem is not small, but when it comes to military affairs, he doesn't make jokes, and he is very vigilant about various things in the Jie country: "Let's not matter whether the troops are brave or not, the master Wang has used them in recent years. The country of Jie also has a tendency to chase after it. Earlier, Ji Long exhausted the country's use, general elections were brave and brave to fabricate elites, named Long Xiang, and all of them had horses and armor, and black spears as weapons..."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help paying attention.In fact, in terms of the quality of soldiers, there is not much difference between the two countries. Wang Shisheng wins in fine weapons, so even if the two armies are fighting in battle, they still have a great sense of psychological superiority over the soldiers of Jie Kingdom.But when Shen Mu mentioned that the so-called Heilongjun Army of Jie Kingdom was not inferior to Wang Shi's most elite Fourth Army in terms of armaments, he naturally became concerned.

Speaking of these, Xiao Yuandong interrupted to explain.He previously commanded the Fenwu Army of the Xingtai Fourth Army, which was different from ordinary generals stationed in fixed areas and often fought on a turnaround basis, so he had heard about the situation of some new troops in the Jie Kingdom, and even had experience in battles.

Although Shihu can only destroy Hebei right now, Hebei also has a lot of essence. Its people began to focus on building an elite army. It may not be able to catch up with Wang Shi's accumulation over the years, but the momentum is not small.

In recent years, apart from the so-called Heilong Longxiang, the new army formed in recent years, and the Donggong Lishi formed by his son Shi Sui are said to be warriors who can fight lions and tigers with bare hands.In addition, there are the Death Battalion formed by Shangbai Qihuo Yubu and the Six Heavenly King Guards formed by many miscellaneous warriors.

Just listening to fame, each of them is full of murderous intent.Some of these newly formed armies have already appeared on the battlefield in Hebei, and some have been fighting against the Hu tribes such as Xianbei in the north. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, they are far stronger than the old army that was previously dominated by Jie Guotu. .

After some discussions, everyone also had a full understanding of Jie Guo's current strength.In the past few years, although Master Wang's strength has been increasing sharply, the country of Jie in the north has not stagnated at this point.Regardless of the recovery of various systems and vitality, at least in terms of military strength, the country of Jie is still impressive.

After knowing the real strength of the enemy, the generals will also be able to better understand why the general must first cut off the threat of flanking before focusing on using troops in Hebei.The country of Jie still has considerable power, and it is difficult to expect a war.

If the main force of Master Wang rashly went north and was entangled in the heat of Hebei, and the hidden dangers suddenly broke out on the flanks, it would be inevitable to lose sight of the other, and it would be difficult to calm down on both sides.

In the current situation, even though Shi Hu still had some strength, he did not dare to put all his eggs in one basket and fight from the south of the country.Taking advantage of each other's fears, they each exert their efforts to wipe out those hidden hidden forces on the sidelines, and wait until they are completely calm before fighting Hebei. This is the current strategy adopted by both the North and the South.

Everyone met on Mount Mang, and following the order of Xingtai to arrive at Hulao, the soldiers of Shen Mu's troops were able to enter the pass, so they did not stay outside for long, and set off for Luoyang in a mighty manner.

After arriving outside Luoyang City, all the soldiers went into the old Luojun City to settle down. Shen Mu also bid farewell to his friends and went straight to the Xingtai to report to his orders, and then went to the nearby General's Mansion.

Knowing that his uncle Shen Chong and many of his family members were going north to celebrate the New Year, Shen Mu was also cautious, and asked the family members around him that he was relieved to learn that his father was not accompanying him this time. Shi Shiran rode his horse to the general government.

In front of the mansion, there were naturally a group of family members waiting for a long time to welcome them. Shen Mu descended into the mansion surrounded by a group of family members. When he entered the courtyard, he suddenly found that the number of family members around him decreased sharply. When he turned around, he saw Shen Zhezi, Shen Yun, Shen Jin and others. They all stood in front of the attic window on one side and looked over expectantly.

Seeing this scene, he felt a warning sign in his heart, and quickly turned his head and shouted: "I really made a mistake in my busy schedule, I almost forgot that I still have an appointment with Ji Wenxue..."

"Where to go!"

There was a loud shout, Shen Mu's knees softened, and he looked sideways, only to see his father Shen Ke rushing out from the side corridor, throwing a dark wooden staff at him in his hand.

"Uncle has passed the year of destiny, and he can still be vigorous and domineering when he is striving forward. In the past, he was often trapped in family affairs and could not use his talents to the fullest. It is really a waste of his talent, otherwise he will be the only one out there!"

Standing on the attic, Shen Zhezi watched Shen Mu run away with his head in his arms after being beaten by his second uncle's stick, and he couldn't help saying with emotion that he felt that his family's name of Martial Ancestor was not just for nothing, but indeed had a profound background.

Shen Yun and Shen Jin both nodded after hearing the words, especially Shen Yun was murdered first yesterday, and now hearing Shen Mu's howl was even more joyful, and he did not forget to flatter Shen Zhezi: " Brother, you asked your family members to hide uncle’s voice and lure him into the house, because you wanted to shut yourself up in the court. If the stick is used outside the court, the second brother will definitely lose face. I hope he can understand this painstaking effort in the future.”

Shen Jin was still silly and happy at first, but he couldn't help being stunned after hearing this exchange, and even though he felt that he was still too young, after all, he was still a little less accomplished in the way of being black-bellied and flattering.
