Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 882
The envoy sent by Chen Guang was Gao Xi, a Confucian scholar in his 30s.

After seeing that Gao Xi, Shen Zhezi also had to feel that there are indeed differences in the customs and styles of different places.Naturally, there are Confucian scholars in Jiangdong, but you can feel that they are obviously different from Jiangbei in terms of spiritual outlook. Shen Zhezi saw it when he entered the capital in his early years. Infected by the world, it is quite mysterious and less solemn.

And as Shen Zhezi became more and more famous at that time, although the young people in Jiangdong were restrained in style, they were fierce in martial style, and they often wore beards and swords, and they still lacked a bit of elegance after all.

Although Jiangbei has experienced wars and turmoil for a long time, there are still many righteous people who keep their integrity. Even Xie Ai from Liangzhou has a bit of ancient Confucian style in terms of speech and character.Shen Zhezi does not blindly worship the ancients, but he has to feel that Jiangdong's style is a little frivolous, while Jiangbei still has some traditions that can be maintained, or it is just superficial, such as Chen Guang's emissary Gao Xi.

The generals in Huainan were a little surprised when Chen Guang sent his envoy to see him. After all, in the local battlefield of Chenliu, the Huainan army is currently passive, while Chen Guang makes full use of the advantages of the terrain. Can maintain the current state of confrontation and wait for variables.So they really couldn't figure out what kind of purpose Chen Guang had in mind for sending the envoy here. Could it be to show off his might?
Shen Zhezi was not very surprised by this. He just happened to be in Yucheng right now, so he decided to meet this envoy of Chen Guang in person, and retreated all the generals, leaving only Han Huang and Jiang Xi and Xie Ai and a few others.

Huainan's strategic concept this year is extremely grand, almost planning to cover half of the Central Plains. Although Chenliu County is only a partial battlefield, it is a precursor to other battlefields.The current battle is obviously unfavorable, even if it is necessary to adjust the follow-up battle rhythm, it will not be completed overnight.Therefore, Shen Zhezi will stay in Yucheng for a few more days, so there is no need to rush to make a hasty decision on the next change. After all, the Huainan Army was too hasty before.

So before making a decision, listening to the purpose of Chen Guang's arrival will also help the next trade-offs and trade-offs.

However, before officially meeting Gao Xi, Shen Zhezi actually had some guesses about his intentions.Chen Guang seems to be in the upper hand right now, but in fact he is still at an absolute disadvantage overall.This comparison of strength and weakness is different from the disparity in strength between the Huainan army and the Jiehu army in the early years. Even if Shen Zhezi was defeated in the early years, at least there was Jiangdong as a way out.

But Chen Guang didn't have any room for strategic maneuvering at all. He was just struggling to survive between the two major forces. Even if he had a small upper hand in the battle with the Huainan Army, it was not enough to accumulate it into a qualitative change to reverse the situation.If the Huainan army really wanted to eradicate him regardless of the cost, he really didn't have much room to struggle. Shi Kan or Taobao were not enough to be a strong backup for him to rely on his life.

So for Chen Guang, the way out is nothing more than two directions.After showing their strength, they either hope that the Huainan Army wants to solve him at a relatively small price, and use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate a truce with the Huainan Army and strive for a certain degree of autonomy.Or continue to use the troubles he caused to the Huainan Army, so as to show Shi Kan his energy in exchange for assistance.

So this Gao Xi came to see him, most of the time he came to discuss peace.

As Shen Zhezi expected, Gao Xi came to visit, not alone, but also brought the corpses of the soldiers of the Huainan Army who had been besieged and killed in the previous battle.These corpses are still relatively well preserved, and there are no traces of corpse abuse to vent their anger. Even the armor worn on the corpses and the weapons they carry with them are basically well preserved.

Such a gesture, on the one hand, is naturally showing favor or paralyzing the Huainan Army, on the other hand, it also has the meaning of demonstration, which shows that Chen Guang not only has no lack of fighting spirit when facing the Huainan Army, but also has excellent combat power.

This action naturally enraged the entire Huainan Army in the camp. The soldiers of the Huainan Army who were in charge of receiving the corpse were almost blinded, and almost cut Gao Xi to pieces.

However, when Shen Zhezi was in the camp, he would naturally not condone the meaningless venting of anger by the soldiers, and even ordered the generals to retreat temporarily in order to create a relatively relaxed meeting atmosphere, hoping to learn more about Chen Guang's people through Gao Xilai Current state of mind and feelings.

Being directly summoned by Shen Zhezi in the Huainan military camp, this Gao Xi was obviously a little surprised. After all, even if Shen Zhezi's itinerary was not deliberately concealed, it would never be made public.

After a little astonishment, Gao Xi solemnly stepped forward to pay homage to Shen Zhezi. At the same time, he couldn't help looking curiously at this young man who was much younger than himself but had already been ranked as the uncle of Fang Bo, and even decided the fate of their Chen Liuren. However, the tone of voice did not become slightly negligent because of this: "Gao Xi, a poor scholar from Chenliu, pays homage to Governor Shen of Huainan. I don't know that Governor Shen is here to inspect the matter of Chen Gong's dispatch. Because he is polite and slow, I hope Governor Shen will not commit any crime."

"Gao Jun doesn't need to be too polite. Chen Guang is indeed guilty, but he is by no means arrogant. Now that the two parties are not in a good state, Gao Jun doesn't have to be too polite. You can just tell what you want."

Shen Zhezi signaled the soldiers in the tent to bring Gao Xi into the table, then pointed at him and said with a smile to Zhong Jiangxun in the next seat: "I know or don't know about Sixuan, this Gao Jun is also a friend of your hometown in Yucheng, his ancestor It is the old Wei Liangchen, the patriarch Gao Yuangong Gao Taiwei."

The so-called Gao Yuangong is Gao Rou, the old minister of Cao Wei. If Cao Cao is counted among them, it can be said that he was the elder of Cao Wei and the Six Dynasties. He has survived a lot, from a young official to an official Taiwei, he can be regarded as a senior old man in the Three Kingdoms era.

The Gao Clan in Yucheng was also a family with a good reputation in Chenliu County, but when it came to Gao Rou's grandson, Gao Tao, because he participated in the killing of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, he was defeated and executed, and he was completely hated by the Yue Mansion.So this Gao family naturally did not follow Nandu, but stayed in Chenliu's hometown.

Although his family did not have any outstanding figures in the famous novels at that time, the local roots are not shallow. For example, Gaoshibei near Yucheng and Gaoshibao in Peize, which was occupied by the Huainan Army, are named after the Gao family. And named.This Chen Liugao family is also Chen Guang's main supporter in Chenliu County.

Jiang Xi was a native of Yucheng, so he was no stranger to Wang Zong, a fellow from his hometown.Hearing Shen Zhezi's laughing words, he said with emotion: "The father in the family has a lot of friendship with Gao Jun's ancestors, and I have heard about it since I was a child. It is a pity that the world is in chaos and the hometown is so long. It is really sad that the good family has never met. .”

After Gao Xi heard this, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Hen a few more times. Chen Liu's news was naturally not as good as that in Huainan. Besides, there were many officials in the Huainan Governor's Mansion, and Jiang He had been preaching in Huainan for a long time, so Gao Xi It is also impossible to guess the identity of Jiang Xie from his appearance.

But when he heard the other party say that, he also casually followed the words and perfunctory a few words, and sorted out his thoughts by the way.After all, although there was a secret case before, but Shen Zhezi did not know that Shen Zhezi came here in person, and many of the arguments prepared before were not easy to tell in front of Shen Zhezi, after all, the identities of the objects were different.

Shen Zhezi didn't have too much psychological pressure. Don't say that Gao Xi is just Gao Rou's great-grandson, even if Gao Rou came by himself, he would at most say a few words about the old guy's fate, so he wouldn't look at him differently, let alone What's more, this Gao family is one of the village sects that he must clean up after he wiped out Chen Guang's influence.

"The king of Huainan ordered the heroes to die at the hands of the rebels. Thank you Gao Jun for picking up the bones of the martyrs and returning them. When the matter here is over, there will be compensation."

When Gao Xi heard what Shen Zhezi said, his face suddenly became ugly. His family was exactly what he called a traitor.Unexpectedly, this Dudu Shen would be so aggressive when he opened his mouth. Gao Xidang snorted coldly and said: "What Dudu Shen said is biased. People keep the covenant together, and it is difficult to survive in this world. In the past, there were many thieves who plundered the village and abused the people, but they defended the homeland with swords in their hands. This time, there are also thieves who plundered the territory and disturbed the village. Because they paid for it with death, we only found out after the fact It's Dudu Shen's subordinates..."

"Master Wang was ordered to go north to kill Hu, and the people are like rain. Everyone who is not rebellious and courageous has heard about it. Since Gao Jun knows that he has made a big mistake, I think you will send the soldiers back. I will forgive you today. life, and return home to die."

Shen Zhezi sneered after hearing the words, and naturally he didn't need to be polite to this Gao Xi.

Hearing this, Gao Xi's face turned red with anger, his teeth were clenched even more, and his eyes gleamed with anger, looking straight at Shen Zhezi.

However, Shen Zhezi ignored him at all, just bowed his head and held a file to read it carefully.Sitting close to Shen Zhezi, Xie Ai could naturally see that the dossier in his hand was blank. Seeing Gao Xi's furious appearance but trying to restrain himself, he had seen another side of the son-in-law.

It is true that Gao Xi was almost out of control with anger, but he still managed to retain a bit of reason. After taking a deep breath for a long time, he opened his mouth and said in a calm voice: "It is often heard that Governor Shen has long lost the reputation of being a soldier in the sky. , why are you so arrogant? Is it not in keeping with your reputation?"

"Facing disaster generously, killing thieves bravely, life can still be thrown away, what's the pity for false fame?"

Shen Zhezi's tone was still flat, but the words fell into Gao Xi's ears, and it was like adding fuel to the fire, and his tone even turned slightly sharper: "There are only a group of remnants in the village. Thinking, instead of being harmed by the chaos of the world for a long time, I should ask Governor Shen where the thief is?"

"The people are happy to live, and they are impeccable. Master Wang bears heavy orders, and soldiers point at them. Anyone who obstructs them is a bandit."

At this moment, Gao Xi could also feel that Shen Zhezi was deliberately humiliating to arouse his anger. He clenched his fists in his sleeves frequently, and after a while, he smiled lowly: "Dudu Shen is a young man who is brave and brave. It's just that the world is hard. , Chinese and Korean sages stand side by side, but it is still difficult to prevent the catastrophe of the world. The virtuousness of the grandfather still abandons the achievements of success. Shen Dudu relied on Huainan's heroism, and he usually suffered disasters in the countryside. I really don't know how Shen Dudu laughed. Humiliate the grandfather!"

"That's a good statement. In fact, I don't know why I believe it, or I firmly believe that there are still heroes in this world. Let's try it. It's nothing more than donating this body. Besides, I am ashamed to destroy the crown and belt, and the left lapel is from the The evils of the slaves will be worn together for one day. Whether it succeeds or not, it doesn't matter for the time being, it's just a vow not to live together."

Having said this, Shen Zhezi finally put down the blank file, and looked up at Gao Xi: "Shenzhou Luchen, surrounded by a group of Hus, China is in peril, and there are still unscrupulous evils who are in the pain of carbuncle because of slavery. There is no time for a detailed diagnosis, but I can only endure the pain and cut it out, and mobilize Yu Lie to kill the Hulu. Gao Jun, please go back, listen to my words and tell the villagers that Chen Guang will not die, and the war will continue. If you want to survive, immediately abandon the thief. Otherwise, the king Under the master's blade, no one will be left alive!"
