Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1282
Although various pre-war military mobilizations in Guanzhong were in full swing, other affairs did not come to a complete standstill.

The post-Han abuses, the local governors and county guards have too much power, and the military and government are in charge. This is also an important reason for the frequent appearance of powerful officials and domineering mansions.The reason why the Shen family has grown to the point it is today is also due to this phenomenon.

Although in the turbulent era, this kind of arrangement helps to unify the authority in the region, avoid internal friction, and make the response more efficient, but in the long run, it is definitely a hidden danger that threatens the root.

The reason why the Sima family of China and North Korea enshrined their clansmen and granted them considerable real power was also the reason for suppressing this kind of local Fangbo.After all, it was not smooth for the Sima family to win the country, similar to the Huainan Three Rebellions, it can be said that they suffered a lot from it.It's just that the dose of medicine from the Sima family's clan seems to be more toxic than the original Fang Bo's trouble.

A considerable part of the reason why Shen Zhezi transferred Huanxuan away from Xiangyang, the fundamental place, and even spared no effort to make a promise, was also to separate the general and the government.As for the establishment of the military government, it is to supplement the powers taken away by the military leaders of the various ministries after the separation of the military and government, and to reduce the cost of supporting the army.

The truth is on the one hand, but the reality has its own difficulties.Although the transfer of Huanxuan led to the separation of Hanmian, Guanzhong and other places in the military and political aspects, Jingzhou farther away, including Fangtou in Hebei, is actually still under military and political control.

The reason why Jingzhou is like this has its own historical reasons. The so-called division of Shanxi Province, although it does not have the strength to confront Jing and Yang, it is difficult to eradicate the old town for a while.

At present, Shen Zhezi can only adopt the strategy of standing on the top of the mountain and letting them check and balance internally. Although this will increase internal friction, it is better than Jingzhou's harmonious and harmonious circle.If that kind of situation really happened, even if the Jingzhou civil and military had no idea of ​​fighting against Xingtai earlier, once the power was formed, many things would not be diverted by human will.

As for Fangtou, it is purely out of the need of war.As the bridgehead of the Zhidang Jie Kingdom, if there is any inconsistency between the military and the government in Fangtou, the consequences will be disastrous.

Xie Ai was talented enough, and more importantly, he could be said to be the most innocent official in Xingtai. He was born in Hexi and had no roots in Zhongzhou. Even in Liangzhou, he didn't have a powerful clan to rely on.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Shen Zhezi rest assured that Xie Ai was placed in such an important position in Fangtou, and he did not transfer it for several years.If it were any other person, even if it was Shen Mu, Shen Zhezi would learn from the disaster of the Sima clan and give a warning.

It's not because he's lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside, it's just that there is no reason to let the hidden dangers exist but turn a blind eye. Once something is really revealed, it will be too late to regret.

A person like Xie Ai, if he can meet a good master, he will naturally do something.But Han Su's innocent background will always put him in a dangerous situation.For example, in the original history, Xie Ai made great contributions to the survival of Qianliangli, but because he was not from a wealthy Liangzhou family, after Zhang Jun's son Zhang Zuo usurped the throne, he did not hesitate to choose him as the target of Liwei and punish him. , It's really embarrassing.

For Xie Ai's kind of humble talents, Shen Zhezi really loves his talent and cherishes his body. He has always thought in his heart not only to make good use of his previous achievements, but also to improve his reputation behind him.

The reason why he thought of this was because of Wang Meng, another talented person in his bag who was about to meet.

Saihunan criminals, whether it was their statement when they first heard about it or their preparations for a severe attack, although they were all murderous, but Shen Zhezi did not dare to express his confidence in whether he could do his best and wipe out the incoming enemy.It's not because Saihu is too strong, but because his legs are too slippery.

And he had to admit that the current platform did not have the background and energy to fight far beyond the Fortress.The so-called raw and cooked twice, if this time we can't wipe out the invading Saihu and let some of them escape back to Saishang, it is conceivable that the north will not be peaceful in the future, and it is impossible to deploy as heavily as this time every time. , ready to fight.

Therefore, before the internal troubles in Xingtai are completely quelled and the north and south are unified, it is a more realistic choice to set up a governor's area in northern Shaanxi that is dedicated to resisting Saihu.As for the candidates, Shen Zhezi made Wang Menglie a key object of investigation after counting the subordinates of Xingtai.

When the general was on his west tour, Wang Meng didn't rush to Chang'an immediately to meet him.Feng Yi is also one of the main settlements of the Diqiang and Hu people in Guanzhong, especially in the counties to the north, where the number even exceeds that of the local Jin people.

These barbarians gather together, it is difficult to be disciplined by government orders, and they are constantly fighting each other, which is a very troublesome problem.After Wang Meng took the post of Feng Yi's farewell, he mainly dealt with this matter, and he was very busy with killing, appeasing, recruiting, or expelling these Hu Zhong.

He waited until Jingzhao's transfer order was delivered, and Wang Meng waited for his successor to arrive, and after handing over the affairs at hand, he hurried straight to Chang'an again.

Li Hong was well-versed in personnel, although he had already recommended Wang Meng to the governor's office to be the governor of Beidi County, but he did not inform Wang Meng himself, but left it to the general.The general favored this young man a lot, and he also supported him a lot. Undoubtedly, the general himself would make Wang Meng feel even more grateful.

So until he arrived in Chang'an and entered the Jingzhao Mansion to report, Wang Meng still didn't know why he was called, but he could also feel the envy and jealousy in the eyes of the officials who came in and out of the county mansion were looking at him. It can't help but make him think about it, and his heart beats suddenly.

"The general summoned me personally?"

Originally, Li Hong, the chief of the third assistant, came to meet him in person, which already made Wang Meng quite excited. After hearing Li Hong's next words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

To be honest, although Wang Meng deeply appreciates the great general's promotion and kindness, he has never dared to consider himself a confidant. The disparity in their identities is too great, which makes him always feel awe when he thinks of the great general.

Knowing that there is another chance to face the great general at this moment, he is unavoidably at a loss.After all, he is just a young man in his early twenties right now.

Seeing Wang Meng's vigorous face, Li Hong couldn't help but sigh with emotion. At this age, he was just a frustrated person in Jiangdong who had a downtrodden family and was full of sorrows. Opportunities to serve as the county magistrate and subsidize the family, but this young man is about to take on the county post of two thousand shi.In time, the black-headed trio can be expected!
"Yes, Wang Lang, you came from the courtyard, and you were appointed by the general personally. Since you took office, you have also made great achievements, and you have lived up to the high expectations of the general."

Li Hong put away his daydreams, said something with a smile, and waved his hand to let the officials lead Wang Meng to the general's residence.

General Shen still lives in Shicheng on the Longshou Plain, and is mainly in charge of the selection and establishment of the Kansai elite army.

Wang Meng and several accompanying officials from the county government rushed to the original place. Even if they were successfully put out of the general's residence, it still felt a little unreal.

"The general is currently discussing matters with Huan Shijun and others, and asked me to enter the side room for a while after Wang Lang arrives."

Chen Kui, a Zhonglang in the General's Mansion, saw Wang Meng approaching, so he bowed and smiled.

Seeing this, Wang Meng quickly returned the gift, and then walked into the small room on the side of the pavilion with Chen Kui.After they were seated, they also exchanged a few words with each other. Most of the time, it was Chen Kui who asked questions, and Wang Meng took the initiative to answer.

The two are similar in age, and both were born in Xinshiguan, so they get along well.

When Chen Kui looked at Wang Meng, there was always a bit of envy in his expression that couldn't be concealed. He was young and energetic, and he had always followed the general's side in and out.

However, Wang Meng is still a backward student of his classmate. Now he has been working abroad for many years, and his achievements are outstanding. .

As for Wang Meng, seeing Chen Kui's dignified and elegant posture, his speech and behavior can be seen as an imitation of the general, thinking that the other party can be taught by following the general and looking up, he is also very envious.

The two waited in this room for about half an hour, and there were occasional quite loud disputes in the middle. It seemed that there had been some differences in the selection of several candidates, but often followed by the voice of the general, those loud voices The generals immediately fell silent.

After a while, the voices of the generals saying goodbye came from outside, and then they filed out.Chen Kui got up and smiled at Wang Meng, beckoning him to wait for a while, and then hurried to the square hall.Naturally, Wang Meng didn't dare to sit idle, so he also got up and left the room, walked to the corridor and waited silently.

Not long after Chen Kui entered, he hurried out again, nodding to Wang Meng.Wang Meng understood, so he climbed up the steps and walked in. He saw the general in fashionable clothes sitting in the hall, as if he was reviewing something with his head bowed. Pointing to the seat near him, he casually said, "Wang Jinglue, let's take the seat first."

Wang Meng didn't dare to speak again, so he walked into the banquet.The room was very quiet, only the sound of flipping and rubbing papers in the general's hands could be heard, and of course, for Wang Meng, he could also hear his own slightly chaotic heartbeat.

Wang Meng really didn't have much contact with General Shen. Except for looking forward at some ceremonies in the Xinshi Pavilion in the early years, there was only one meeting before he was elected to the stage and went to Guanzhong, and he didn't talk much about that meeting. What the general looks like is a little blurry now.Now I have the opportunity to look up from close, but I still dare not look around.

The general's reviewing speed was extremely fast, and he quickly flipped through a file and put it aside. Taking advantage of this gap, he turned his head to look at Wang Meng, and nodded slightly.Afterwards, Chen Kui put away that file and presented another file, his movements were smooth and smooth, and that tacit understanding made Wang Meng quite envious.

"Awaited."

After about a quarter of an hour, General Shen's voice sounded again, and he finally finished some finishing matters. After Chen Kui put away all the files, he took a sip of the tea served by the waiter, and at the same time Signal the servant to replace Wang Meng with new tea.

Seeing this, Wang Meng quickly got up and finished the interrupted ceremony. Before he could sit down, the general laughed and said, "You already know where you are going?"

Hearing this, Wang Meng was inconveniently taken aback, and then turned his head to look at Chen Kui in surprise.

Seeing Wang Meng's appearance, Shen Zhezi was also slightly taken aback, and after a while he realized that maybe Li Hong was being too thoughtful, so he smiled again, waved his hands and said, "Sit first, don't be restrained."

Next, Shen Zhezi was not in a hurry to inform Wang Meng of his new appointment. He just looked at Wang Meng with great interest while drinking tea, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. , I didn't expect him to be emotional now.

If I remember correctly, the current Wang Meng is not yet the age of the weak crown. This is one of the reasons why Shen Zhezi still needs to conduct further investigations and not directly finalize the candidate.

He also grew up from a young age, so he naturally knows that age has no direct relationship with talent.But because of this, he also has a deeper understanding than others, and age still has certain restrictions on people's actions.

Being too young will make it difficult for people to invest enough confidence, which will complicate many simple things and increase the difficulty of things.He himself was deeply disturbed by this in his early years, and now when he starts to promote and reuse young people, he has to put this variable into it for a little evaluation, so as to avoid backfiring and overdoing it.

Although the general's gaze was not harsh, it was full of scrutiny, which inevitably made Wang Meng feel cramped, looking down at the small case in front of him, his mood gradually calmed down.

"Wang Jinglue, you are very good. Since the journey to the west, Xiao, Liu and others, including Feng Yixiang, have all praised you full of praise."

After looking at Wang Meng for a while, Shen Zhezi said with a smile again. He paused and didn't wait for Wang Meng's answer before he said, "Within the ups and downs, disputes are inevitable. Objections and attacks, Li Hongdu and the like are still unavoidable. Wang Jinglue can both If you are brave enough to do things well, you can still not waste your reputation, I wonder if there is a unique and elegant voice to teach you?"

Hearing the general's question, Wang Meng was also taken aback for a moment, and after a while, he cupped his hands and said, "With little strength and talent, it's too much to be diligent in doing things. I really don't have the energy to take care of the rest. Fortunately, the dust is all thanks to the general's kindness." Perhaps because of this, Shiliu paid more attention to it, and because of his low reputation and low position, he was far less important than Li Shijunyong's state affairs. Shiliu devoted himself to what he liked, and praised him in front of the general. Ashamed."

"You are not humble, even when I..."

Shen Zhezi wanted to casually say that he was not as good as Wang Meng at this age, but then he thought that even if Wang Meng directly served as the prefect of Beidi, he would be far worse than himself at the same age in his early years.After finally getting a chance to rely on the old to sell the old, he could only end up with an embarrassing smile.

Wang Meng couldn't keep up with the general's train of thought, seeing the general hesitating to speak, and saying that he was inappropriate in answering, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered.Although he didn't dare to be intimate with the general, he deeply felt the kindness of the general, so he hoped that he could be perfect in everything and live up to the kindness of knowing him.

After a pause, Shen Zhezi looked at Wang Meng again and said directly: "You probably already know about the fact that Saihu is going to invade the South, right? The governor's office has issued an order to give you the post of governor of Beidi County. Do you have the confidence to temporarily govern the county affairs and also help the military?"

When Wang Meng heard the new appointment, he couldn't help but be surprised.He naturally knew about this matter. The news came through Feng Yi. At first, he was thinking about how to deal with Xingtai, but he also heard about the posture of the general afterward. , No one can be insulted, and it makes their followers feel very proud.

Wang Meng had some regrets before, and felt that it might be difficult for him to participate in this matter. After all, he was transferred to Feng Yi at the beginning of the year, and Feng Yi's county affairs were also very busy, so he did not dare to expect to be transferred again in a short time.However, he did not expect that such an important appointment was waiting for him when he came to Chang'an this time!
"I, Humble... Thank you for your trust, the General, I will do my best to do this, and I will never tarnish the wisdom of the General!"

Wang Meng hurriedly stood up, bowed deeply and said.

Shen Zhezi smiled and beckoned him to return to the table, and then said: "This time it is deployed to the north, and the situation is different. Although there were heavy troops from the king's army waiting for the battle, Saihu's cunning and wandering souls often broke through the territory and plundered them." Dangerous, although you are called to help, sometimes you also need to fight against bandits. Military and political affairs need to be planned, and if you are negligent, you will inevitably fail. ,understand?"

Wang Meng nodded quickly again, expressing that he would not dare to relax.

Shen Zhezi originally wanted to ask Wang Meng what strategy he had for this appointment, but then he thought about this battle. There are too many variables, and the consideration is still the ability to adapt to the situation. What kind of strategy is forced in advance, but it will be implemented later. will become rigid.

So he didn't say any more, and then wrote an order in hand, and then granted Wang Meng the temporary supervisory position, and told him to go to the governor's mansion to ask for a talisman order, and then followed the soldiers who marched northward one after another to go straight to the post.

Wang Meng waited until he left Shicheng, feeling a little unreal even touching the warrant in his arms.

Originally, the general had surprised him by letting him transfer to Beidi to be in charge of county affairs, but later he was given the power to take charge of military affairs temporarily. It's only a temporary one, but it also means that he has the right to mobilize the garrisons within the county and can directly command operations in the later military process!
Wang Meng's hand tightly covered the warrant stuck to his heart through his clothes, and he felt that the warrant was emitting a surge of heat, which made his heart boil.

Although the meeting time this time was also short, and the general did not show any attitude of handing over the details, and there was nothing to talk about with each other, but such military and political affairs were all delegated to him, and there was something hidden in it. His trust was so thick that he always felt that there was nothing he could do to repay him.

Although he is also curious about why the general gave him such a generous use, even exceeding his own self-esteem and expectations of himself.

But thinking about it, there will be no answer to this doubt, and he doesn't need an answer at all. As a human being, he can be so confided in his heart. He can say that he has no regrets in his life, and he only needs to do his best to achieve the ultimate good. I will never make second-class requirements!
