Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 844
Xianhe 11th year, 337 AD.

Zhenshui is one of the most important tributaries in the lower reaches of Rushui River. The confluence of its flow and Rushui River is not far to the north, and not far to the north is Rushui, which is now under the administration of the Huainan Dudufu, known as the "Great City in the Sky". The city of Hu hangs in the south.

The city of Xuanhu grew from nothing until it became famous all over the world, and it only happened in the last two or three years.In the seventh year of Xianhe, Shi Zhao, who unified the north of the country of Jie, made a national army. Under the leadership of Shi Hu, the king of Zhongshan, who was the Taiwei of Jie at that time, he rushed south, and he was about to defeat the remnant Jin court that survived Jiangbiao in a single battle. .As for the Jin court in the south, they only used the young soldiers from Wuzhong, but in the end they defeated the Jie army and almost wiped out the whole army.

The result of this battle is jaw-dropping, and the people in the Northland also have different opinions, some relying on the destiny, or relying on geography, and there is no shortage of deep arguments about human feelings.Although there are different opinions and different opinions, the name of Shen Weizhou, the commander of the Southerners in this battle and the young governor, is resounding throughout the Central Plains, and the Huainan King Division he commanded has also become a strong person who is deeply remembered by people from all over the world. military.

The great war a few years ago directly interrupted the prosperity of the Jie country, and the North has been caught in turmoil and disputes since then.However, in this series of turmoil, the Huainan Army, which was so powerful in China due to the First World War, did not make any amazing moves, and even the remnants of the Jie Kingdom who were close at hand did not take advantage of the trend. It can't help but disappoint the Yuanjin people, and they all feel that the glorious battle was probably just a passing luck, it just happened to coincide with the death of Jie Lord Shi Le, and the chaos of Jie country itself.

However, although the Huainan Dudufu did not fight any more shocking battles on the battlefield, it was still widely known in the Central Plains in another form.That is Xuanhu City, which is located near the Rushui River. This city is a place chartered by the Jiangdong court to gather business from all over the world.

Although the northern land is in turmoil today, in the minds of the people at that time, they still looked down on the land of Jiangdong, and regarded it as a land of the southern barren land with limited civilization.But no matter how deep-rooted such thoughts are, once a person arrives at Xuanhu and sees the prosperity and prosperity, such thoughts will soon disappear.There are even many old people in Zhongzhou who said with emotion that the prosperity and prosperity of Xuanhu today can even catch up with Luoyang in the Taikang period of the dynasty!

As Xuanhu's reputation grew, more and more merchants and tourists came here from all over the world.You can travel by boat and vehicle, or on foot, there are many options for the nearby area.But if you are a person from a distant city, the best choice is undoubtedly the boat waterway.Although the land of Runan is prosperous, the Huai River, Ru River and other waterways in the area are strictly controlled by the Huainan Navy. Although civilian ships are allowed to navigate at some times, more time the control is quite strict.

Therefore, secondary waterways like Zhenshui have become the main passages for visitors from all over the world to come and go frequently.

At this time, on the lower waterway of Zhenshui River, there is a large civilian boat waiting in the long queue to transfer into Rushui River.There are many passengers on this ship, and there are more than 20 people standing on the outer deck of the ship, all of them are burly men in their prime, with swords wrapped in leather sheaths hanging from their waists, standing side by side, from that standing posture In terms of style and style, it can be seen that he is quite negative in the ranks.

However, this kind of staffing is not particularly outstanding among the fleets queuing up to enter Tianjin. There are several ships with more people in sight than this ship. With such a strong escort, it can be seen that Not unusual or anything.Maybe they could run amok in other places, but here, they could only line up obediently, and no one dared to fight even if there was an empty waterway for large ships to navigate on the other side of the fleet.

Naturally, this is not because Runan's benevolence has taught everyone to be polite, it's just because they really don't have the confidence to be arrogant.

On both sides of this section of waterway, there are Huainan army water villages standing on each side.There may not be many soldiers in the water village, but the excellent equipment is amazing.Even ordinary sentry soldiers are all covered in full armor, holding a fine iron saber, and a rhinoceros horn bow hanging from their waists.And on the watchtower of the arrow tower, there are several huge bed crossbows, and the armor-piercing crossbows thicker than sharp guns are bundled on one side, which makes people feel awe-inspiring when viewed, and even the body feels aching. Even more afraid to challenge the authority of the Huainan Army.

And on the river, there are often Huainan water troops patrolling. The iron wall spikes hanging on the boats and boats are washed by the water, and they are like huge mouths of fierce beasts that are open and ready to eat at any time. !Although there are not many soldiers on board, except for fine armor and sharp blades, each of them is equipped with a strong crossbow. In this river, where the distance cannot be quickly opened, if there is a conflict at close range, the troublemaker will only be slaughtered !
"It's been more than a year since the eastward march, and there are many heroes in the various places they have passed through. However, it is impossible to see the military and military prosperity before our eyes! With such a powerful weapon, who can be it? No wonder Shi Jilong surrounded the crowd in the early years. , still want to drink and hate this!"

There were several other people on the civilian ship who were seated separately in the cabin. Through the side windows, some people couldn't help saying with emotion when they saw the heroic posture of the Huainan Army soldiers on both sides.Although the Huainan army was only on normal patrols and defenses, there was a hint of the elite atmosphere of strict laws and regulations between actions.And those sophisticated armaments are indeed intimidating, but if they can be fully equipped without affecting their actions, the soldiers themselves can be called elite divisions.

These few people on the boat are all different from the fashion in terms of clothing and accent, but they have a bit of Chinese rhyme.After one person opened his mouth, the rest of the people also started discussing, praising Huainan's strong military posture, but the tone was different, some were full of relief, while others were purely objective evaluations.

Two of them were the most enthusiastic, and one of them couldn't help clapping his hands and said with a smile: "During the Yongjia period, I stayed away from the western frontier, only knowing that the people's lives were in ruins and the country was in ruins. Only by seeing and hearing during the journey can we know that the revival of the king's industry is expected. With the prosperity of this material, the strength of military use, and the support of virtuous ministers, Jin Zuo will surely prosper in this world."

Hearing this person's slight loss of composure, someone beside him frowned slightly, and his displeasure was beyond words.

This group of people has a long history, and they are envoys of the Zhang family in Liangzhou.With the division of the Jie Kingdom, the control over the frontiers has weakened, and there are endless disputes in Guanzhong, Longshang and other places. The court once again resumed contact.They traveled from Liangzhou east to Guanzhong, passed Liangzhou all the way to Jingzhou, and traveled for a long time before arriving at the Huainan Dudu's jurisdiction.

The identities of this team of envoys are also complicated. Among them are local tyrants from the west, and some people who went west to avoid disasters when the Central Plains and Guanzhong were in turmoil earlier.Among them, the one who lost his temper was named Wen Ji, a member of the Wen clan in Taiyuan, that is, the clan of Jiangdong Shangshuling Wen Qiao.He was so emotional and praised the Jiangdong court, which to the ears of some Zhang's subordinates seemed to favor one over another, which was unavoidably displeased.

As soon as Wen Ji finished speaking, an envoy from Liangzhou couldn't help but want to speak, but the leader didn't want to make the atmosphere too embarrassing. After stopping him, he turned to look at another 30-something year old The Confucian scholar said with a smile: "Why is Shi Xin silent? You are the sage of the Western Land who the governor of Huainan Shen said so much and wanted to see. Seeing such a state of affairs in the sky, do you have nothing to say?"

The Confucian scholar called Shi Xin was not conspicuous among these few people, and he was quite weak. He didn't participate in the discussion before, but just read with a volume of books in his hands.When the topic came to him, he raised his head with a humble smile on his face, "Ai really doesn't dare to be called a sage. The younger generation is only a low-level scholar, and he can go to Zhongzhou with Suo Gong and others. It has been a great fortune in my life. I am a backward person with little knowledge, and I have no talent to be praised. I am far away from my hometown, and I am already terrified, how can I dare to speak out."

This is said with respect and courtesy, even a bit humble.When the rest heard this, they all laughed.Wen Ji looked a little embarrassed, he also felt that his previous performance was too revealing, which made these Liangzhou scholars slightly dissatisfied, so he attracted the young man Xie Ailai to mock him.

This time Xiping Gong Zhang Jun sent his envoys to the east with great care. The entire envoy numbered over a hundred people, and the main ones went down the river to Jiangdong Jiankang after arriving in Jingzhou, and they came here on a special trip. Visit Shen Weizhou in Huainan.

Shen Wei became famous in the battle on Monday, and even in Liangzhou, he heard a lot about him, and Huainan sent envoys to Liangzhou the year before last, so Zhang Jun was not lacking in curiosity about him.But Zhang Jun didn't know much about the situation of the ruling and opposition parties in Jiangdong after all, so he didn't use the name of meeting, but met in this relatively private way.

Among them, there are two people who are not from Liangzhou, they are Wen Ji and another Du Mi from the Jingzhao Du family.Wen Ji originally planned to go straight to Jiankang to join his cousin Wen Qiao, but when he arrived in Jingzhou, he found out that Wen Qiao had retired from illness and no longer served as Minister of the Book, and his other cousin Wen Chong was working under the governor's mansion in Huainan, so he wanted to meet him first .As for Du Mi, because his kinsman Du He was able to help Shen Dudu, he naturally came here by way.

The others in the same group had nothing to say, they were all from Liangzhou local surnames Suo, Song and other tribes, but there was one special one that was the young man Xie Ai.Although the Xie family was originally from Liangzhou, they did not belong to Wangzong, and Xie Ai was not a young man with high reputation, at least Wen Ji had not been known in Liangzhou for many years.It is said that he was able to join the mission because the Huainan envoy sent Shen Weizhou a letter to Liangzhou last time. The letter once said that he wanted to meet Xie Ai, so he had to accompany him.

Wen Ji was a little carried away before, so the leader Suo Ning pointed out Xie Ai, that is, to ridicule Wen Ji not to be too complacent, even an unknown junior in Liangzhou is known as a Chinese scholar.

With this episode, the atmosphere in the boat became slightly awkward, and no one was interested in talking about it.And the boat is gradually approaching the mouth of Jin, and after turning into the Rushui waterway, the waterway opens up, and not long after going north, the prosperity of Xuanhu City has already rushed to the face.

　After returning home from get off work, I looked through the materials for a long time, and it was a bit late to start writing. I posted this chapter before I finished writing it, so I’m sorry. . .I can't make it out for the second update tonight, so I will ask for leave tomorrow to make up at home.Time flies, so many things to write. . .By the way, history is really unfriendly to Qianliang. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find the word Xie Ai, so I just made up nonsense. Some book friends who know it hope to correct it and then change it. . .
