Chapter 457

It is either snow or rain in the north. Although the temperature along the Yangtze River has decreased slightly, it is still a beautiful scene of wind and sunshine.

The Han Army wantonly transferred to the south, and two countries of the same ethnic group turned to the impending military collision. The situation between the north and the South became extremely tense. The active Han army can be seen everywhere north of the Yangtze River, and the situation south of the Yangtze River is similar.

Xu Zheng came from Pengcheng to the camp on the Yangtze River in Ruyin county. The camp of the Han army should be about 40 li away from Shouchun. Due to the obstruction of the mountain line of sight, he could not look at each other.

There are many water systems around Shouchun. First, there is Yingshui from Yuzhou, then there is huaishui that cuts across, and there is fatty water not far from Shouchun city. These water systems eventually converge to shaopi, 60 miles away from the southwest of Shouchun. It is a swamp lake, covering a very wide area. It has been heard that there are many water thieves.

The Han Army placed the largest number of troops in Shouchun, reaching 100000 troops. Xie Shi stationed in Shouchun, including Shouchun's original 40000 garrison. Should there be 60000 or 70000 Jin troops in this direction?

"Count the people in the city." Xu Zheng is the most energetic moment recently. He sits on the tiger head chair with a golden Sabre only supporting the ceiling, presses the handle of the sword with his right hand and touches the beard of his chin with his left hand: "it is the same for enlisting the people as soldiers and guarding the city."

The cities in the south of the Yangtze River are much more dense than those in the north of the Yangtze River, which is the situation formed by ethnic living habits. There are not only many cities in the south of the Yangtze River, but also many villages in the suburbs. Compared with the few villages exposed in the wilderness in the Central Plains, the reason why there are few villages in the wilderness in the Central Plains is because the Hu people are constantly rampant.

"The Shouchun line is similar to the Dantu line. The Jin army continues to build depth and form a great length of fortifications." Li kuangyou was a Jiangdu order. He saw with his own eyes that the small imperial court had built exaggerated defense depth from scratch: "they also led water into the house, dug deep underground holes to create mud and covered with traps."

The last time yuan Qiao led the slave army and slave army to force Shouchun, the war did not start at all, but some local wars occurred frequently. The biggest trouble encountered was not the resistance of the Jin army, but the trouble caused by the dense water network.

This time, Xu Zheng's southern expedition army not only faced a dense water network, but also the muddy land caused by * * * * by the deliberate indiscriminate excavation of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As Li Kuang said, there were still unknown traps.

At present, although it is winter and the war will not happen immediately, the pre war positional investigation has not stopped for a moment. When the Scouts of the Han Army entered the Jin army controlled area, they did not lose much in fighting with the Jin army. They fell into some swamps and sharp thorn traps, resulting in much more losses.

"They didn't want to fight us in the wild." Ding Yi said with disdain, "what I want is how to rely on the protection of the city wall and hide in the turtle shell to entangle with us."

In this southern expedition, the Han Army did not expect a happy sweep. It was very clear that it was a war to attack the city and pull out the stronghold. The Han Army going south was mainly infantry, and the cavalry could play a limited role in the south. Naturally, it was necessary to cooperate with the corresponding inland water army.

The small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had a large number of naval forces. In addition to the Yangtze River Navy, they also had their own county and county naval forces in various water systems. For example, there was a Jin Army Navy with about 300 or 400 boats in shaopi according to the investigation.

When the Han Army approached the north side of Shouchun for forty miles, the Jin army still shrank in Shouchun city and hid in Bagong mountain not far away. On the one hand, Xu Zheng kept practicing martial arts and soldiers, on the other hand, he did not lack the action of recruiting civilian men from the surrounding areas.

Xu Zheng's enlistment of civilian men was not used to ensure the logistics line, but to gradually flatten the depth of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Can't the Jin army shrink out? Then the things they did became unattended. The Han army made a solid advance in the front, and the civilian men who carried the burden of covering the soil in the rear.

It is impossible for the surrounding people to say they are not worried about being recruited by the Han army. They found that the Han Army had no intention to drive them to attack the city with ants. They just did some rough work and provided two meals a day. There was no need for the Han Army to take the initiative to recruit civilian husbands. The people called friends by word of mouth in order to have two meals a day.

War is constantly going on all over the world, especially in Yuzhou, which has been a battlefield since the second year of Yuanshuo. Without a stable environment, it is impossible to produce. People can't work to avoid war. In fact, people have long begun to eat bark, grass roots and other things that can satisfy their hunger.

Xie Shi, who is in Shouchun, is not willing to watch the Han Army destroy the offensive and bury the traps. He is still more willing to fight out of the city, but the orders from Jiankang strictly prevent him from leaving the city.

The credentials of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were presented by Chi Ying to Linzi. LV Yi, a scholar of the Han Dynasty, took over the credentials. The national credentials were presented. Chi Ying not only didn't get any reply, but even the proper diplomatic etiquette was not implemented. The only time he saw the senior level of the Han state was LV Yi when presenting the national credentials. Since then, it has been hanging.

No answer is the best answer. Chi Ying was supposed to leave Linzi and take some canonized gifts to the Han territory. He just packed up his things to go out, but he found that the house had been blocked by the Han army. The reply was that the Han state was discussing to respond to the letter of state and asked him to stay in place and wait.

Chi Ying was put under house arrest in disguise, but Yu Yi's movement was unimpeded.

Yu Yi didn't ask to see Liu Yan. He just stayed in Linzi for a day and left the city. He took his family's younger generation to Changguang county. The previous trip to the martyrs' Park didn't come to an agreement. Since the accompanying group had settled in Linzi, he obviously had to go to the martyrs' Park.

Xie Shi basically had no attitude towards a large number of aristocratic families going north before the war, or even the aristocratic family owners going north in person. Xie Yizhong's talk about the prince of the Han Dynasty was actually written by him.

The policy of the aristocratic family has always been very complex. Xie Shi is the chief inspector of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Yes, he is leading the army to fight with the Han army who is about to invade the south, but it does not prevent him from leaving a way back for the family. Even in the face of the strong approaching of the Han Army, he still couldn't prevent him from paying close attention to whether there was any response from the Han king.

"Lingjiang is a beautiful woman. Many people ask for it but can't. My brother doesn't need to worry too much." Xie Wan is Xie Shi's fourth brother. The official worships Zuo Xiaowei. Ling Jiang in his mouth is Xie Daokai. He covered the wine bottle in his hand and said, "I don't know where Anshi is now."

Xie Li has six sons. Xie Yi is the oldest. Xie Ju, the second son, died early. Then there are Xie an, Xie Wan, Xie Shi and Xie tie. According to the nine grades being formulated by the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Xie family is a top-grade family. Their family background determines that it is not difficult for the legitimate men of the family to be officials. However, not everyone in the Xie family is willing to be officials. For example, Xie Yi, who has been reluctant to become an official for a long time, Xie an, who did not want to be an official, is very interested in being an official.

Xie Daoyi, a member of the Xie family, is a talented woman with a wide reputation in the south of the Yangtze River. A popular saying is that he wants to ask the people he marries to line up from the Yangtze River to Jiankang. There are also many candidates who are worthy of him.

It was probably in the sixth year of Xiankang that Wang Xizhi tried Xie Yi's attitude at a banquet and wanted Xie Daoqian to have a baby kiss with Wang Ningzhi. At that time, Xie Yi neither agreed nor refused. The Wang family where Wang Xizhi lived actually regarded Xie Daoqian as the daughter-in-law of the Wang family from that time.

With the initiative of the Wang family, Xie Daoqian, who was not a few years old, often played with Wang Ningzhi. According to the original trend, the two little guys went on as childhood sweethearts until they got married together.

This time, the Xie family wanted to bring Xie daokan to Liu Yan. They had not communicated with the Wang family in advance. When the Wang family learned the news, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had to stage a big play.

Not long ago, Wang Xizhi caught Yu Yi and scolded him. His peerless calligraphy was destined to make people swear. The article rumored that later generations exposed the drama of a woman marrying a king in the Xie family. Wang Xizhi of Jiankang went to find Xie Yi first, but set out to Shouchun without any results.

Xie Shi was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Wang Xizhi at a routine military meeting. The background is that the Han Army did not stop when winter came. He pushed ten miles south from Xiacai, less than thirty miles away from Shouchun, which is heavily guarded by troops.

When the literati broke out, they didn't care about military affairs. As soon as Wang Xizhi appeared, he looked angrily at a group of civil and military forces, and stared at Xie Shi and Xie Wan, who were slightly stunned.

"Go back to their headquarters and wait for the next consultation." Xie Shi first let the civil and military out, and then stood up to meet Wang Xizhi. He was full of doubts and asked, "Yi Shao, but what great event has happened? Why is it dusty and angry?"

In the final analysis, the Xie family really did not make any commitment to the Wang family. The decision to marry the baby is the wishful thinking of the Wang family. Xie Shi has enough confidence in the face of Wang Xizhi.

The procedures of engagement between aristocratic families are very complicated. Exchanging the eight characters of birthdays is only one of them. Necessary gifts should be accepted and collected. The family elders of both sides should pay red posts to each other before they can be considered as a formal engagement. Xie and Wang didn't take any of the above steps. According to common sense, Wang Xizhi couldn't attack even though he was full of anger when Xie shichuai understood and pretended to be confused.

Who is Wang Xizhi? He is a world-famous great poet, calligrapher and metaphysician. After being respected and flattered, many things are taken for granted.

"The chief inspector thought that Wang's family was declining and could be bullied at will?" Wang Xizhi was once the son of the largest gate valve in the south of the Yangtze River. Although Wang is now at the bottom of the four gate valves, his influence and strength can not be underestimated. This time, Wang casually took 20000 private troops as the regular army. He stared at Xie Shi with wide eyes, raised his hand impolitely, and angrily said, "it's understandable that Xie wanted to leave a way back, but he attacked the king's daughter-in-law. It's too much to deceive others!"

In the eyes of some people who don't know the truth, Wang Xizhi, a great poet, calligrapher and metaphysician, should be a gentle and elegant person, but no matter what his status is, he should be human, and he should have a temper. He can hang high when he doesn't commit it, and he will be angry when it is related to the honor and disgrace of the family,

The Xie family is definitely lying if they don't take the anger of the Wang family into account. Who doesn't know whether Xie Daokai is a talented woman or a coveted aristocratic woman. Everyone likes the great beauty. It was a misunderstanding that was not a misunderstanding years ago. In the face of the anger of the Wang family, Xie has his own choice.

The general situation of the world should be clear, it really becomes very clear. The new Han Dynasty will soon recover the Central Plains, showing the posture of a military power. Looking at the Han Army's attacks everywhere, it was not difficult at all. Multi line operations had never been weak. It can be imagined that the worst situation of the Han country was to control most areas of the Central Plains and would become a powerful country in the world.

The small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was in a state of mind when facing the large-scale southward movement of the Han army. It looked like it was going to fight to the death, but if the Han state showed an attitude of being willing to ensure the interests of the aristocratic family, it was another matter. Under this complex psychology, not only Xie is looking for a way back, but the Wang family also has their own actions.

"Yi Shao, take it easy and don't be impatient." Xie Shi kept smiling on his face. He didn't want to tear his face completely. For example, he poked out that the Wang family had children going north. He asked Wang Xizhi to sit down. He was rejected by brushing his sleeve. He said with an unchanged smile, "it's not true not to say the engagement. You know that Ling Jiang always makes his own decision..." he dragged an end and said softly and hard: "brother dotes on Ling Jiang. What Jiang asks is what he must agree to."

"Nonsense!" Wang Xizhi retorted, "it is well known that Ning Zhi and Ling Jiang have no guess since they were young. They regard them as future partners."

Xie Shi didn't talk nonsense about this matter. Xie Daoyi was really interested in Liu Yan from scratch. Especially when the state of Zhao in Shijie continued to retreat, she just answered "it's better to be with such heroes than with weak people" when asked by the family elders, which gave the elders a very clear answer.

"What the world knows." Xie Wan didn't want to speak. Seeing that Wang Xizhi was the aggressive one, he couldn't hold his breath and said, "Lingjiang and Ning are playmates, but they have nothing to do with each other."

Wang Ningzhi is only eleven years old this year and has not taken any calligraphy. The relationship between Xie Daokai and Wang Ningzhi is a playmate. It's impossible to say how Xie Daokai likes Wang Ningzhi. On the contrary, as a talented woman, Xie Daokai should say that Wang Ningzhi, who seems very mediocre, is just playing well, or the kind who wants to hide somewhere.

"It's inappropriate to talk about this when the Han army is approaching." Xie Shi deliberately eased the atmosphere, smiled and said to Wang Xizhi seriously, "let's put our children's private affairs before the military affairs?"

Wang Xizhi smiled angrily and said something he shouldn't have said: "if you're going to be in law soon, can you still focus on military affairs?"

At that moment, Xie Shi's face was very ugly. Xie Wan, who was younger and more energetic, directly scolded him for "lack of strategy".

"Xie an is one of the great generals of the puppet Han Dynasty. The daughter of the Xie family is the puppet king's concubine right away. Xie must have a wealth and glory." Wang Xizhi sneered and brushed his sleeves again. Before leaving, he put down his words: "the matter of family income will never rest!"
