Chapter 1071 Two Cities
As the end of the year approaches, the festive atmosphere in the government offices becomes increasingly strong.
When fighting, it has something to do with the scholars from the South, but it doesn’t have that much. As the saying goes, one day is counting as one day. Even if you die tomorrow, you have to finish your day first.
Shan Wei entered the palace and ran to the palace for another official career, not only failed, but was also scolded by the powerful Congmei.
She first talked about how important the position of Danyang Yin was, and then talked about the lack of suitable official positions in the court. In short, in one sentence: There is no chance.
Shan Wei knew his family's affairs very well. He didn't say anything to her sister: He is mediocre and is not suitable to be an important official of the Taiwan Pavilion. Maybe it will bring disaster to the Shan family.
After the reprimand, Shan Wei returned to the yamen in shame and complained to Du Yi, who was idle all day long: "Even if he surrendered to the thief Shao, the officials he gave were greater than those of Danyang Yin." >
As they spoke, the officials came in and out, brought in piles of official letters, and took away the ones that had been processed.
It is rare that Shan Gong is in the government office and has to deal with the official duties he has accumulated for many days, especially those related to military affairs, so as not to find others tomorrow.
The matter was so outrageous, and the war was in full swing. Shan Wei either wanted to run for office or went to drink and have fun, so that 600,000 hu of military rations and 100,000 arrows were delayed for ten days before loading and dispatching them away.
"Have you been slapped at home?" Shan Wei asked casually, and quickly finished the official letter.
In fact, most of the official letters were not read much, and they were just right. This speed of handling official duties will be praised as a "capable minister" again - I haven't seen anyone in ten days, and I have finished the backlog of official duties in one day when I come back, and anyone has to praise "Great talent".
"A team of fifty people were drawn," Du Yi said.
"My family has drawn a hundred people." Shan Wei sighed, "I don't know how many people can come back to Jingzhou."
"Mr., what's going on in Jingzhou?" Du Yi couldn't help asking.
His rank is a bit low and the county magistrate does not have a specific position, so the news is inevitable, so he asked when he gets the opportunity.
Shan Wei put down his pen, waved his hand, and asked the officials to withdraw, and then said, "To be honest, I lost my troops and land, and it was a mess. I think the best ending is to save Jiangling, and Xiangyang is definitely lost. But even if it is If Jiangling is preserved, it is just a city. I don’t know what the disaster will be like outside the city. After this incident, Nanjun doesn’t know how long it will take to recover. You don’t manage your property in Jiangling, right? ”
< br>
"No." Du Yi smiled bitterly.
"It's good if there isn't." Shan Wei said.
He didn't ask casually, because too many Guanxi people went south to Xiangyang and Jiangling. After the chaos in Xiangyang began, these people ran to Jiangling and Wuchang. If Du Yi had an industry in Jiangling and Wuchang, Shan Wei would not be surprised at all.
"Tao Shiheng is actually a sensible person." Shan Wei said again: "It is a dead end to defend Xiangyang. So what if the Shao thief army besieged Xiangyang went south? Is there a difference between 100,000 and 200,000? There are too many people and cannot be used. On the contrary, there are still concerns about epidemics and food outages. There are some people in the court-"
Speaking of this, Shan Wei shook his head and smiled, then seemed to think of something again, and said, "The Murong family has begun to attack Yuwen Xianbei."
"So fast?" Du Yi said in surprise.
"It has nothing to do with the court. They want to fight themselves." Shan Wei said, "In October, they plundered Goguryeo and gained a lot. Now, when they turn around and beat Yuwen, the Goguryeo people dare not move, and they are afraid of being beaten. ”
"I think Shao... Shao thief doesn't care about Yuwen's life or death," Du Yi said.
"It's hard to say." Shan Wei thought about it and said with a smile: "What do you care about him? I'll prepare a car the day after tomorrow and follow me out of the city to take you to a good place."
"Thank you for your support," Du Yi said with a flattering smile.
Shan Wei laughed and approved the last official document in hand and printed it.
Maybe it was the last one, he took a look.
The Shen family in Wuxing suffered a series of defeats and asked to surrender.
After posing this posture, the Jiangdong tribes who had helped the court deal with the Shen family also stopped advancing and helped the Shen family plead for mercy.
That's how fucking things are! The court even wanted to admit it when he pinched his nose.
In order to redeem himself, Shen sent five thousand private troops to travel west, join the Jingzhou battlefield, and fight for the imperial court.
This farce has basically ended here.
The Shen family in Wuxing only needs to hand over Shen Chong's family. It is very likely that only Shen Chong, who rebelled, needs to die, and everyone else can survive.
This was how Yixing Zhou family handled it back then, and Shen family was no exception.
With the Shen family's private soldiers, plus the 3,000 soldiers collected by Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang and the wealthy families in Jianye, the Jin court could send 8,000 soldiers to Jingzhou to block Tao Kan's mouth, so that he would repeatedly ask for additional troops. .
Although these soldiers have certain combat effectiveness, they are mostly difficult to defeat Shao Bing in field battles. They can only defend the city or carry out some raids with the assistance of the navy.
"The Shen family has passed this level." Shan Wei threw down the official document and said, "However, the members of the Chen family in Huaipu who stayed in Jianye were not so lucky. They were dead. The best ending was to send mates to the state. ”
Du Yi sighed a little.
When the Chen family in Huaipu surrendered, it was obvious that they had given up their tribe members who remained in Jianye. Things are in a hurry and there is no way to arrange them properly.
He just felt sad. For the gentry, war was indeed the biggest nightmare. It can make you undecent and unable to fully control your own destiny.
"No one in the capital pleads with the matter between Huaipu Chen?" Du Yi couldn't help asking.
"Why didn't it?" Shan Wei sneered, "But it's useless. It's just a small family, with not many connections and few people. Although they are gentry, they are even more miserable than the Shen family in Wuxing."
After saying that, Shan Wei stood up and suddenly sighed: "My sister is also a ruthless person. But she has no choice but to surrender, she can't surrender."
"Not necessarily." Du Yi said in his heart.
Queen Shan is so young, if she is kidnapped by Shao Taibai, can she get out without having a few children?
"Let's go, go for food first." Shan Wei didn't want to work anymore. As he walked, he said, "Hongzhi, I'll tell you that the man named Ma is dead."
"Which surname is Ma?" Du Yi quickly followed and asked.
"It's the husband of today's biological mother..." The two people's voices gradually faded away.
*******
The Jin court tried its best, and the Jiangdong tribes also supported it. During the twelfth lunar month, there were boats and boats coming and going.
Xiangyang, located on the shore of Mianshui River, looks like a forgotten corner.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, Fancheng was attacked twice, but neither of them was a result.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Mao Bao, the Jingzhou Shogunate, had only about 3,000 men left, and his morale was low. Everyone knew that they would die unless reinforcements came to rescue the siege or surrendered to Liang State. But the latter faces a very serious problem, that is, their fate cannot be controlled after surrender, and they may be sent to Youzhou or Liangzhou, and they will never be able to meet their families again in this life.
Xiangyang City was also attacked once.
There were more than 6,000 soldiers left in the city, but about 2,000 of them were wealthy servants or city owners. Deng Yue, the prefect of Xiangyang, did not trust their loyalty, nor did he trust their combat effectiveness, and was in a dilemma.
In addition, Xiangyang is not a big city, and he did not hoard too much materials in advance. If the military rations are exhausted until mid-February, maybe the plundering of the people will last longer, but what is the point when the supplies and reinforcements cannot be sent in? It's just the difference between dying early and dying late.
At this time, Deng Yue kept the aide named Yang Qin under the pretext of discussing the matter.
"There are Liang Bings now. I'm afraid your house and real estate will not come back?" Deng Yue asked after sitting against Yang Qin.
When asked, he looked at Yang Qin in no trace.
Yang Qin was also an old fox. He knew that Deng Yue was tempted, so he immediately said, "Where can you finish the eggs when the nest is destroyed? At this point, all the knowledgeable people in the world sighed. What is the loss of some family business? Where? ”
When Deng Yue heard this, he looked admirable and said, "The northern troops went south and there were many people who destroyed their families. Shao Taibai acted so fiercely. I believe that everyone in the Jingdi rich people hated him and would fight to the end."
Yang Qin's heart moved and said, "What the Lord of the House said is very true. However, I heard that Mr. Shao is quite disciplined in his actions. Perhaps it is not enough to be restricted, and it is not certain that the people below are doing randomly."
Deng Yue was a little silent.
Having said that, many things are actually very clear, and the two of them have a certain understanding of each other's attitude.
Yang Qin quietly glanced at Deng Yue and tentatively said, "Shao Bing boasted outside the city that he had broken through Ji Nancheng and captured Tao Fujun in Nanjun. This matter may not be false. If Emperor Liang is willing..."
At the end of the story, it was a little vague. However, smart people should know the meaning of elegance when they hear the string song. There are some things that don’t need to be explained too clearly, just click it.
After hearing this, Deng Yue only said "hmm" and didn't respond, but judging from his expression, he obviously remembered it in his heart.
"You are always talented, but how will the battle in Jingzhou be?" Deng Yue directly raised another question.
Yang Qin was confident and said, "The court was the same as the Eastern Wu at most, and it kept the places that could be preserved. For example, the Southern Mian River and the North of the Yangtze River was the existence of Yunmengze. It was precisely because of these troops. Only with the existence of the city, Wu people dared to move the capital to Wuchang. However, it is not certain that the dynasty of the Eastern Wu can protect Jiangling."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Deng Yue asked with interest.
"There is nothing else, Emperor Liang is bound to win." Yang Qin said: "Since Ji Nan City has fallen, the Liang army must have mobilized heavy troops to move south from Dangyang. From this point of view, Shao Taibai really wanted to get Jiangling and was determined to do so. For this reason, a large number of soldiers and horses were killed or injured, and they had to be forced to take them. What is the situation of the court now? It may not be able to be consumed in Jiangling for a long time."
"What does Shao Taibai want to get Jiangling?"
"Govern the naval army and go to Jianye."
Deng Yue nodded slightly.
In fact, he also has this view because it is too obvious.
"Lord." Yang Qin leaned closer and whispered: "Jiangling has become a place for military exchanges between the two countries. What will Xiangyang be like? But will reinforcements come to rescue him?"
"If Shao Taibai was unable to capture Jiangling and was eventually forced to withdraw his troops? In that case, Ji Nan, Dangyang, Shicheng, Anlu and other places may not be able to be kept."
"Even if you really lose from Jiangling, Xiangyang will be firmly held in your hands." Yang Qin said: "How can Shao Taibai be so kind? How can he be willing to have not obtained any land since the Southern Expedition? Even if he sacrifices his life, he will still keep Xiangyang . Lord, in fact, I have abandoned my son, no one will come to save me."
Deng Yue was silent for a long time this time.
