Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 964
Leaving the princess' room, it was already very late. Shen Zhezi originally planned to call Shen Jin to talk again, but seeing the weather like this, he gave up. Although he took a nap in the princess' room before, it was not enough to make up for the consumption of the past half a year. Now Tiredness surged up again, and he simply went directly to the next room to fall asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, probably the news of Shen Zhezi's return to the town had not yet spread, or even if someone in the know did not dare to disturb the door rashly, so the whole industry was still relatively quiet.

Although Shen Zhezi relaxed after returning home, he has been strictly sitting for a long time, and his biological clock is extremely difficult to disrupt. He gets up early in the morning and does not stay in bed until the sun rises.

Shen Jin is a smart kid, he waited outside the door early before his elder brother took the initiative to call.

After Shen Zhezi finished washing, he asked Shen Jin to come in and have breakfast together.Shen Jin lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes at the moment, and occasionally looked at his elder brother with a sneaky look, his expression was full of anxiety.

Seeing this scene, Shen Zhezi couldn't help feeling that in front of this little brother, he probably already had an inhuman and severe image.In fact, as early as when he was supervising the war in the Northland, he found that he had some emotional problems. He suppressed himself too much, his emotions and anger were invisible, and he was not as approachable as he was in the early years. Be cautious and don't dare to relax.

Originally, Shen Zhezi thought that he was under too much pressure. It should be known that Huainan's use of things this time seems to be in a much better situation than Shihu's invasion of the South in the early years, but because the plan is so big, this is also a gamble for Shen Zhezi's future.

Once unfavorable, not to mention the rise and fall of its own misfortune, at least in the next few years, Jiangdong will no longer have the power to make a large-scale Northern Expedition, and will sit back and watch the good opportunity of the Northern Expedition pass away.

Due to his intervention, this period of history has already changed beyond recognition, but many basic laws still exist.For example, despite the strong intervention of the Huainan Army, the final winner in Hebei is still Shihu.

Shi Hu is indeed tyrannical and cruel, but his ability is not weak. For example, now, after knowing that the Jin army will not continue to penetrate into Hebei, he did not blindly invade the south. Instead, he turned his head and continued to the rear. develop.

Before Shen Zhezi returned from Heluo, he heard that Shihu had already sent troops to Liao, and he quickly turned against Xianbei Murong.The reason seems to be that Shi Hu used the title of king to seduce Murong Hao in order to unite the forces of Hu before. As a result, the Jin army went around Hebei and then went straight to Heluo. With Shi Hu's character, it is naturally impossible to give Murong Hao such a big advantage.Murong Hao naturally became angry from embarrassment, but in the end he was still doing well, Shi Hu had already dispatched troops first, and even Murong Ke, who had led the army to help the battle before, was almost killed in the army and was seriously injured and fled north.

Murong's family is well-known in later generations, and Murong Hao and his sons are described as invincible and heroic.But to be honest, in the confrontation between Shi Zhao and Xianbei Murong, Shen Zhezi was not optimistic about Murong Hao.

First of all, the war was not just a few so-called heroes, especially this kind of battle involving the fate of the tribe. The Murong family of Xianbei was too weak. Leftovers, in terms of comprehensive strength, he will definitely not be Shihu's opponent.

Moreover, the current Murong family is still trapped in internal strife and cannot extricate themselves. After Murong Xin's death, he passed on to Murong Hao, but his other son, Murong Ren, was not convinced and directly separated himself from Liaodong.

Shen Zhezi was quite happy to join in this kind of excitement of watching people's internal strife. On the one hand, he prevented Murong Hao from seeking nominal support in Jiangdong, and on the other hand, he secretly supported Murong Ren. The refugees living in the Liao region made Murong Hao very bloody, and the civil strife that should have been quelled long ago has continued to this day and has not yet been quelled.

Murong Ren's current power in the Liao region is not inferior to that of Murong Hao. Murong Hao is also struggling now and wants to seek assistance from all sides, otherwise he will not have to seek skin from a tiger.With half of Murong's power under his control, there is Murong Ren behind him who is ready to replace him at any time. He is no match for Shihu at all. If it weren't for the dangerous terrain of Liaodi's white mountains and black waters for shelter, it may be very difficult to even survive.

Shen Zhezi was happy to watch this kind of dog-eat-dog scene, and earlier sent an envoy to Murong Hao, expressing that as long as Murong Hao bowed his head and accepted hostages, he was willing to help restrain Shihu a little.However, it will take a long time for the envoy to reach Liaodong by sea, and I hope Murong Hao can survive until then.

In other words, Shen Zhezi was quite happy to see Murong Ba, the youngest son of Murong Hao, if he was really sent as a hostage, and if he was really not good at teaching, he might as well kill him directly.He may have a great future, but Shen Zhezi has no psychological burden on this kind of foreign race who uses the flesh and blood of Jin people to show off their achievements, even if they are killed directly.

The rest are related to Zhongdi, Qiangfu, Yao and others, and they can do the same if they have the opportunity.Right now, Liaodong is still a remote place, but Guanzhong is already under siege. Shen Zhezi is very happy to directly cut off the inheritance of these Hu chieftains' descendants.

However, he also knows that the key is to be tough on himself, and there are certain rules for the rise of the five beards and ugliness in order. Those who become famous, even if they are leaders in the world, are born in response to the times, not because their luck is concentrated on one person to make troubles.Even if you get rid of those people, if your own strength is still not enough, there may not be no substitutes rising up.

Thinking of those Hu Chieftains competing for bravery in the future, Shen Zhezi's eyes fell on his little brother again. He thought for a while, and said in a softer tone: "Ahe, so you have decided not to enter the Xinshi Pavilion again. learned?"

Shen Jin couldn't help shaking his shoulders when he heard this, which shows how powerful his elder brother is.He sat upright facing Shen Zhezi and bowed his head and said: "I know that brother has high hopes for me, but I am indeed limited in talent, and seeing the many achievements made in the Northland, my heart is even more difficult. I just want to cast myself under brother's account. Contribute all you can to the king's affairs and family business!"

"If you think this way, it doesn't mean that you feel that your endowment is limited. It seems that you feel that you are superior in ability and unwilling to be lonely. Master Wang went to the north and seemed to win many battles, but how much do you know about the hard work? How many of you Elder brother seems to have unlimited scenery, but how much do you think you can bear the hard work of their fierce battles and bloody battles?"

When Shen Zhezi spoke up to this point, his tone was already somewhat severe. He was originally a pragmatic character, and he didn't think much of people with high eyesight and low abilities. In his opinion, Shen Jin was eager to join the army, and he was indeed a bit impetuous.

"In the past years, the reputation of the family was shallow, and the generation of father and brother was despised by the world. They had no choice but to fight with weapons. I myself am also known for my meritorious service, so I won't talk to you about the paradox of the world. Let you understand that in previous years, my family was famous for martial arts, not because I had real talent, but because I had no choice!"

When Shen Zhezi talked about this, he signaled Shen Jin to come closer: "You said that you are already proficient in bow and horse, so you can go north to pursue meritorious deeds and become famous all over the world at your fingertips? I'm not belittling you. It seems that your martial arts skills are not worthy of my tent. There are tens of millions of choices, but in terms of victory in the military alone, your skills are only worthy of the lowest level..."

"Brother, I... I may not be able to meet the expectations of my father and brother, but I have never slacked off. It is because I know the length of my talent that I don't want to waste my time doing things that are destined to be impossible. My father and brother are willing to make me knowledgeable Learn, don't rely on your life to make progress, but now my family is prosperous, and my parents are all brave enough to take care of things, but I still abandon the family, drink fine wine, spend a lot of money, people may envy my luck, but I am Always be ashamed of this attitude!"

Seeing that Shen Jin blushed a little with excitement, Shen Zhezi was stunned for a moment. Although he had gained a lot of knowledge, he was actually conservative in his heart, especially for those close to him, it was inevitable to cover up.As he said before, the name of Shen's Martial Ancestor is just a forced way out. Now that his family background is growing, he also hopes that his children will have more choices, instead of not trying, completely following the old way, and boasting about the world with martial arts.

It is true that martial arts are the most important in troubled times, but there will always be governance after chaos.What's more, in view of Sima Jiayin's past, Shen Zhezi didn't want his children to use martial arts to make things happen. The current situation is uncertain, and it is true that he needs to rely on his family.But as the order gradually settles in the future, people like Shen Mu and Shen Yun, regardless of Shen Zhezi's own intentions, must downplay their presence in the army.

Shen Jin is still young at the moment, and there is no need to devote himself to the front line of family business struggle prematurely, so Shen Zhezi really hopes to train him into a more comprehensive talent, not just tied to martial arts all the way.

This was his and his father's plan. As for Shen Jin's intentions, they didn't really care much.Even including Shen Zhezi himself, when he first came to this world, he had to work hard for his family business. He never had too many choices for himself.The so-called ideals or the value of life are just a kind of extravagant thinking without worries, moaning without illness.

However, Shen Jin's confession made Shen Zhezi realize that in addition to ignoring Shen Jin's wishes, he also ignored a young man's psychological endurance, especially in the case of such a comparison in the courtyard, Shen Jin could bear it. The pressure can be imagined.In many cases, pressure is the motivation, but if the pressure is too great, it can directly pull people down.

"Since you want to join the army, then I won't stop you. You have to experience it yourself to know how dangerous the world is. Father and brother can't protect you for life. If catastrophe is imminent, all soldiers and commoners will be unavoidable. Right now, the king's affairs are just getting better, not impossible. Call it Dachang, in order to win, your brother is still in danger of death. It is really useless for people to be raised by the gate of the court."

After Shen Zhezi pondered for a while, he first agreed to Shen Jin's request, but he still did not intend to give up on Shen Jin's training.Although he won't let his brother start from a low level, he won't deliberately cover up the cruelty of real war. I hope this kid can restrain his impetuous temper after going through a lot of training.

"Brother promised me?"

When Shen Jin heard this, he couldn't help jumping up from the table in joy, and then calmed down in a hurry, and then turned to remember the advice of several bad friends. Seeing that brother's expression was still normal, he said cautiously: "Actually, apart from me, Xie Wu and Huan San also have the desire to improve..."

Shen Zhezi frowned slightly after hearing the words, feeling a little dissatisfied.In the past, the morals of the world were trapped in retreat, far more than martial arts.

However, due to Shen Zhezi's frequent achievements in recent years, the world's style has changed, and then it has turned into a hot and overheated style of martial arts, especially for young people like Shen Jin who are not very old and have not yet fully formed their personalities. Thinking that killing the enemy and seeking merit is a very simple matter, they rushed to join the army.

It is true that this kind of change is healthy, but if it is not restrained, it will still be full of disadvantages.Even before that, a group of young people from all over the country went north to seek merit, and actually attacked a prisoner-of-war camp placed between Liang County and Huainan by the Huainan Governor's Mansion.

They didn't even know the direction, but they saw that there were many Hulu living in the camp, so they were complacent and thought that they had penetrated into the Hulu-occupied area, and the great achievement was in sight!
Huainan military law has always been known for its strictness, but if there are children from northern and southern families who join the army, it is inevitable to take care of them.This is not prohibited by law. Even if you can still uphold justice on major issues of right and wrong, it is inevitable to take partial care of some trivial matters.

Therefore, the current Huainan army is already extremely cautious about the high-school children joining the army.Even if the lack of participation of these people lowers the overall combat effectiveness, the difference in level between soldiers will cause many disputes and grievances.

Shen Zhezi is already thinking about whether to regularly organize some activities like summer camps, especially for those high-school students who have no way to vent their enthusiasm, so that they can experience the cruel existence of real war and the army. It must be able to dispel the impracticality of those people The delusion, but also to pick out some of the available ranks.

However, for Shen Jin's request, Shen Zhezi agreed after thinking about it, but even deprived Shen Jin of the preferential treatment plan, and planned to send them directly to the hardest camp for a few months before they really go into battle. Sometimes I don't have the courage and strength to hold a knife.

Shen Jin mentioned Huan Huo, and Shen Zhezi couldn't help thinking of his elder brother Huan Wen, so he asked casually, "Sanlang Huan lived in Jiangbei for a long time. I don't know what happened to his family? Do you have any correspondence?"

　Correct a mistake. In the previous chapter, Murong Hao was mistakenly written as Murong Jun. The name of this family is too messy to distinguish. If you are not careful, you will make a mistake.The previous chapters are locked and difficult to change. Please correct them here. When you see them, you can replace them in your mind.Be sure to pay more attention in the future to avoid such low-level mistakes again. . .
