Chapter 79 Two Anglers

Li Xin is an alien of this era. Because of his different values, he is incompatible with the world in terms of his style of doing things and his ideas. However, this kind of alien approach has made him almost invincible over the years.

It is precisely for this reason that the three emperors were somewhat wary of Li Xin because they could not see through what Li Xin was going to do and could not guess what Li Xin would do next.

The first two generations of emperors were fine, after all, they could still suppress Li Xin, but in this generation, the situation was very different.

Emperor Yuan Zhao's talent was even worse than his father, and even worse than his ancestors. Moreover, he grew up with Li Xin since childhood and was a student of Li Xin. He naturally had a faint fear of Li Xin in his heart. Therefore, Emperor Yuan Zhao showed a little over-neck when facing Li Xin.

He placed all the power he could use in the southwest.

After hearing the emperor's words, Zhong Xuantong sighed helplessly. He smiled bitterly: "As Your Majesty said, the Great Jin Dynasty is vast, not only the northern border, but the Great Jin Dynasty is not only the southwest. Your Majesty is the emperor of the world. The situation in the southwest does need to be dealt with, but the northern border cannot be ignored. If the Xianbei tribe makes a comeback again, a Yunzhou city may not be able to defend the northern border."

Speaking of this, Zhong Xuantong lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Jizhou must have an army stationed. If Your Majesty believes that Duke Ye is not trusted, it will be possible to send someone to the northern border. In any case, Jimen Pass, which I have run for several generations of the Jin Dynasty, must not be lost."

Emperor Yuan Zhao looked at Zhong Xuantong and said, "The old general thinks, who can go to Jizhou to take over Ye Mao's errand?"

The Ye family was in the Great Jin Dynasty and had a reputation that others could not reach. Take this incident as an example. Although the Zhenbei Army was almost wiped out, the reputation of Duke Chen's Mansion was high. Ye Mao raised his arms in Yancheng, and many people went to Yancheng to join the army. If someone else went to do this, it would be difficult to do this.

Moreover, the third generation of Duke Ye may not be willing to let others take care of Jizhou.

Zhong Xuantong frowned and said, "If it really doesn't work, I will send someone from the court to serve as a deputy to Duke Ye, responsible for recruiting soldiers from Zhenbei Army. In this way, even if the Zhenbei Army is reorganized, it will not be disobeyed from the court's orders."

Emperor Yuan Zhao shook his head and said, "No one can be sent to you. The emperor is far away. He will die if he says he dies."

Speaking of this, he looked up at Zhong Xuantong and said, "I have always paid attention to the affairs of the Northern Xinjiang. After this incident, the Xianbei tribe could not breathe for at least four or five years. It is unlikely that it would invade our northern Jin Dynasty on a large scale. I have given the imperial edict to the governor of Yanzhou, and ordered him to temporarily lead the Yanzhou soldiers to guard Jimen Pass."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a low tone: "When I solve the problem in the north, I will take out my hand and clean up these remnants of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

Hearing this, Zhong Xuantong knew that the matter could not be discussed anymore. He sighed and lowered his head and said, "How will His Majesty deal with the matter in the southwest?"

"It's said that it depends on the help of the old general."

The emperor said, "Last year, my troops in the southern border of Jin withdrew from Ankang, Hanzhong. All the troops in the southwest are stationed in Xiangyang. The Southwest Army is now ready to move. I am planning to send someone to the former Hanzhong Army as deputy general."

The 100,000 Hanzhong Army was originally led by Ye Lin. Ye Lin led the Hanzhong Army in Hanzhong and confronted the Southwest Army for several years. Later, due to Li Xin's involvement, Ye Lin was transferred back to the capital to serve as Minister of War. Xie Jing, who had originally served as the deputy general of Ye Lin, naturally became the new Hanzhong General.

However... this uncle was so incompetent that he did all kinds of stupid things that the Hanzhong Army was defeated one after another when facing the Southwest Army. Now even the nephew of Emperor Yuan Zhao was a little unable to bear it and wanted to find someone to help his uncle.

Zhong Xuantong lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is old, and I am afraid he cannot take on this important task..."

"Of course, we can't let the old general go."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "The old general's Changsun Zhongheng seems to be an official in the capital. What I mean is to send General Xiaozhong to the southwest, and he is wronged to be a deputy general in the Hanzhong army."

My uncle was an outsider in war, so Emperor Yuan Zhao could only find a way to send him an expert deputy to help. For the marching and war, the Zhong family can be said to be an expert among the experts.

Zhong Xuantong bowed respectfully: "It is an honor for the young children to be loyal to Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"In this way, please ask General Xiaozhong to set out for Xiangyang as soon as possible."

……………………

The court was preparing to deal with the southwest, but the southwest did not make any big moves. Everyone was doing what they should do, but the darkness was already surging.

Let’s not talk about the capital and the southwest for now, a group of people have quietly entered Shaoxing Prefecture, a hinterland of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The city of Shaoxing Prefecture was divided into two parts and was divided into two counties in Shanyin and Kuaiji. In comparison, in any aspect, Shanyin County was relatively ahead. Especially after Emperor Taikang ascended the throne, the Xie family of Shanyin became a veritable royal relative. Many children of the Xie family in Shanyin were able to enter the capital to serve as officials. For a time, the scholarly family in Shanyin County became the most dazzling family in Shaoxing Prefecture. For more than ten years, even the emperor of Shaoxing Prefecture had to come to the Xie family to kowtow to the old lady Xie before taking office.

The Xie family was originally a large family with lush branches and leaves. The clan was divided into several houses, including the eldest house of Empress Dowager Xie. For a time, the natural scenery was unlimited, and the other branches and leaves of the Xie family were much inferior.

A young master Xie Dai was originally from the second room and he was also an official in the capital. Although he was not as smooth as Mr. Xie Jing, he was able to control the imperial guards and was considered a big shot in the capital. However, a few months ago, Mr. Xie Dai was dismissed by the emperor for dereliction of duty in the northern border and rushed back to Shanyin.

The second room was even more declining.

Mr. Xie Dai, who was driven home from the capital, was also a little lost. In addition to occasionally fishing outside the city, he basically stayed away and refused to entertain all local officials in Shaoxing.

On that day, Xie Dai walked out early in the morning with a slender bamboo pole and walked to the place where he usually fished. He skillfully cut the materials and hung the hooks. Then the former Yulin Guard General sat down like an old monk and quietly waited for the fish in the river to take the hook.

I don’t know when there was a young man sitting next to Xie Dai. He held a hook like a young man, and sat down five or six steps near Xie Dai.

The young man looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was extremely skilled in fishing. After a while, six or seven fish were caught. He was much better than Mr. Xie who had gained nothing.

Xie Dai has not had many hobbies in his life, but he only likes fishing. Seeing this, he couldn't help but look at the young man, and then asked, "Little brother, what kind of bait are you using?"

The young man threw another pole into the river, then turned his head and looked at Xie Dai with a smile: "General Xie wants to know?"

Xie Dai frowned slightly.

"You recognize me?"

The young man bowed his head slightly: "Naturally I recognize General Xie."
