0677 The foundation of merit
As Peng Biao's remaining troops were destroyed, the land in Huainan was restored, and the confrontation between the north and the south was restored to the situation when Su and Zu had not rebelled. Shen Zhezi also formally led his troops to Shouchun City, took over the city defense, calmly dispatched troops, divided his troops to guard the forts in Huainan, and divided the reinforcements of various units of Jienu.
At the same time, thousands of light cavalry of Xuzhou army also arrived at the Huai fortress such as Matou Shu in the east of Shouchun to take over the defense.
At this point, the war in Huainan has been a foregone conclusion. If most of Jienu had not gathered in the south and attacked by the surrounding war zones alone, it would be impossible to break through the Huai River and regain Shouchun.
"Wei Zhou, you are really... making me embarrassed! Isn't this a war report presented to Taichung? Isn't this giving someone a handle and attracting criticism?"
With such a large-scale assembly and battle between the Yuzhou army, Yu Yi naturally could not stabilize the rear of Liyang. He had always been in Hefei. As soon as he received the battle report presented by Shen Zhezi, the joy that had originally aroused great victory suddenly disappeared. He immediately rushed to Shouchun, and after meeting, he frowned and sighed.
Shen Zhezi was coming from the camp in the Shishi City outside the city. Before Rong Jia could solve the problem, he heard Yu Yi complaining, and immediately smiled: "Is my uncle talking about this battle report? It is indeed a bit exaggerated, but when the general is outside, there is always a temporary matter. The king's new position must be made, so that he can stabilize the township. If Taichung puts the overall situation first, he should not be responsible for this crime."
"This is not a question of whether the crime is guilty or not. Shouchun was originally an old town of the Zu family. Many of the villagers in this village are far from the king's affairs, and their thoughts are still unpredictable. If you only care about favors but do not show your power, you will inevitably be separated and may cause hidden dangers!"
With the situation in Yuzhou, especially after taking back the reclaimed Feed last time, Yu Yi became more and more aware of the Fangzhen officials, and he gradually stopped paying attention to Taichung's attitude. He was worried that Shen Zhezi's so super-standard show of kindness to the public may make these wall owners more proud and more difficult to control in the future.
"I actually have some considerations about what my uncle is worried about. If I can have time to be calm, I should give my kindness and power, and examine the virtuous, loyalty and righteousness, rather than not asking about the virtuous and foolish, and be generous and overwhelming."
Shen Zhezi's face became more and more serious when he talked about this: "But the problem is that Jienu may not give us this time. He has gone north in the middle of the year and restored the Huainan land in several months. Since the revival, the king's army has not made such a strong attempt to advance bravely. This is a great victory for the world to look at! My uncle must not be self-deprecating. Now the town of Yuzhou is a heroic army that is expected to be shared in the country!"
"You don't have to praise Wei Zhou, you don't have to praise you. Huang Quan and Peng Biao both lost their slaves and generals. This time, Huainan victory is all your support. The soldiers and family members are helping each other! I know this very well if outsiders are confused."
Hearing Shen Zhezi's words, Yu Yi was full of self-satisfaction and was not completely greedy for this reputation. He was in charge of Yuzhou for a long time and had not improved. Shen Zhezi's joining and the Shen family spent all their money to make the momentum of Yuzhou completely explode.
After hearing this, Shen Zhezi sighed: "Although my uncle has such a reputation, how dare I take credit? If I hadn't believed it deeply and trusted me with all my responsibilities, I would have been the only one who could have used it as soon as the emperor advanced to Wuzhong and the imperial family was a relative. How could I use it and become a little bit of a bad reputation?"
"Wei Zhou, you said that, but what did you hear of the wind and alienation?"
After hearing this, Yu Yi frowned and said seriously: "Outsiders may not know how deep the relationship between the two families is, but you, the husband, should not have the idea of self-deprecating! In the past years, my family was burdened by your family's old affairs, so I made a lifelong friendship with your father. Su, the ancestors' chaos arose, and my family was guilty of the country. If it weren't for your father and son's help, how could they have been able to survive until now? The deep love is so deep that they know it, it is not a vulgar eye energy! The family business and life can be shared. If it is just a shallow progress, can't they still prosper together?"
Seeing that Yu Chi's expression was so serious and his words were full of heavy voices, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Perhaps because he judged a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Yu Chi did not have any alienation to him. But there are indeed many people in this world who share difficulties, and not many people who can be rich and noble. Even if Yu Chi doesn't think about this, they should be vigilant and not be attacked and alienated by others.
He was very kind to these people from Huainan, and actually took a little precaution. After Shouchun recovered, as long as he managed to keep the Huainan line, if he did not make any greater progress, he could maintain a long-term confrontation. As a result, the situation in Yuzhou had greatly improved.
It can be said that even without the help of the Shen family, the current Yu family can actually be said to have completely wiped out the decline and stabilized Yuzhou. But without the strong support of Yu Yi, Shen Zhezi might not be able to stabilize Shouchun at the moment.
After all, his age and background are an unavoidable threshold. Although he has already won consecutive victories, Taichung may not be happy to see him if he could hand over the important town of Shouchun so easily.
Sometimes it is not a good thing to be too sharp. The battle to recover Huainan can be said to be the Shen family's support. Once Yu Yi feels a little bit of fear, he will immediately take advantage of it and tear apart the originally intimate cooperation between the two sides.
At the moment, it was Yu Yi who had not thought about this or others had not reacted, but Shen Zhezi had to think of it. After all, he was just a southerner. In the past, he had no huge benefits as temptation, and everyone could look down on it indifferently. However, Huainan is now fully settled, and his background issues will be grasped by those who are interested in it, in order to win the results.
Therefore, for others, the Battle of Huainan has ended and it is time to divide the results. But for Shen Zhezi, the Battle of Huainan is just the beginning, and the next is a battle that he has really prepared for a long time. Whether on the battlefield or in the court, if this battle is won, there will be no worries in the future!
The family fortune accumulated over the years was poured into Jiangbei, and only Huainan could not meet Shen Zhezi, nor could he meet his requirements for determining his family fortune and national fortune in one battle!
"I will naturally remember this from my uncle. The love between the two families is as deep as the sea. Although they are not connected by flesh and blood, they share weal and woe! But what I am talking about is not this point, but Huainan's small victory is not a pleasure. If you and I are just like the other one, Su and Zu. Moreover, when you get Huainan this time, how will your uncle think the stone thief Shilong react? "
When Shen Zhezi talked about this, he was already worried and had no intention of doing anything, but he really did not dare to relax.
Yu Yi was a little stunned after hearing this, and then pondered: "Weizhou's eyes are vast and broad-minded. It is true that Shouchun is located, which is a place where everyone looks around. Shi Shilong lost it for a moment. He will fight the soldiers in the future and want to retake it. However, you don't have to worry about Weizhou. The people of Liang County will be in control here in the future, and Liyang will also recruit more powerful troops. Within a few months, this realm can be gathered for more than 30,000 people. All of them will be dispatched by Weizhou. You must guard this realm!"
“Not enough, not enough!”
After hearing this, Shen Zhezi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The loss of slave thieves this winter is not Shouchun. Jingzhou Tao Gong strongly drove his troops, Xiangyang has been restored, and Han Mian is all looking forward to it. Xuzhou Xi Gongye has arrived in Huai, and will gather people to fight in Xuyi in the future. All the towns in Jiangbei have made progress over the years. This is a sign of Wang Ye's great prosperity after a long hibernation!"
"Although the slave thieves have swallowed the Central Plains and widely accepted their homeland, there is actually no great governance in the territory, and there is a glimpse of all directions. This time, the king's army advances greatly, and the enemy's court will be in a state of turmoil. If they come to attack, they are definitely not from the crowd. It is very likely that they will raise all the enemy troops and attack the country! They must use the landslide to defeat the rampant enemy, use this to intimidate the four fields, and continue the enemy's fortunes."
When Yu Yi heard this, his face changed and said in a stern voice: "It's just a long spring, and the slaves and thieves have not yet obtained it. Now they lose it again, it's reasonable, and they may not be able to..."
"It is possible or not, and it is difficult for us to make assertions. However, we cannot count the gains and losses of the country and the thieves' thoughts. This consideration may be alarmist, but it is better to be prepared for it than to respond hastily. Therefore, we cannot always regard the safety and gains and losses of Shouchun in the future. We still have to do our best and dare not keep our efforts. Even if the slaves and thieves do not conquer the country, we must prepare for the troops and horses in order to drink horses as soon as possible!"
Shen Zhezi said seriously that although Jienu did not launch any major wars to the south during this period of history, Jiangdong did not use troops to the north on such a large scale in history.
What is certain is that during this period, the Jienu was extremely unstable, with cracks from top to bottom, and various contradictions can be said to run from the court to the countryside. Under such circumstances, large-scale failures frequently came from the south, which was a huge shock to the surroundings and inside. The best way to suppress and transfer these contradictions is to launch a war, a large-scale war!
Therefore, Shen Zhezi felt that Jie Nu was very likely to launch a large-scale military operation next year, no matter which direction it was.
Therefore, we must take advantage of this great victory and gather enough military strength in Shouchun as quickly as possible. If Jienu really attacks Shouchun, then we will naturally fight to the death to seize the city. If we attack elsewhere, it is better. Taking advantage of the emptiness of the interior, we will go north from the Ying River along the Huai River to sweep Heluo!
Therefore, no matter from any perspective, the next year's Shouchun will inevitably be the starting point and center of a war. Yu Yi's concern that showing kindness too much will make the people in Huainan form a group and accumulate hidden dangers is not enough to cause trouble. Show the people of the country with kindness and show the enemy and the enemy with their power! If you can really establish your authority through battle, these accumulated hidden dangers can all be turned around and cut the mess quickly and solved!
Yu Yi pondered for a long time before speaking in a slightly hoarse tone: "If the slave thief really wants to attack the country next year, will you have the confidence to defend Shouchun?"
After hearing this, Shen Zhezi said in a deep voice: "There is no permanent victory in the world, and no one is a man of heaven. How dare you say that you will win? It's just a matter of life. Since you have already reached this far, this city is the place to bury your bones, and this city is the foundation of your achievements! I hope my uncle can help me and have this ambition!"
"What are you saying? I am just a mediocre person in the portal. Wei Zhou, you are the son of the century-old family business. Your father is willing to send you to me to take the order. That is the importance of the family business! I am also talking about crazy words, and we will advance and retreat together, not be alone in our own efforts or live alone!"
