Chapter 1071
As the end of the year approaches, the festive atmosphere in the government offices becomes increasingly strong.
Is it war related to the scholars of 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 for office again. Not only did he fail, he was also scolded by the increasingly 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. Congmei didn't say anything: He is mediocre and is not suitable to be an important official in 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 Shao Zhe, the officials he gave were greater than Danyang Yin."
While speaking, the young men came in and out, picked up piles of official letters, and took away the processed ones.
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 he quickly finished the official letter.
In fact, most of the official letters were not read much, and they were directly corrected. This speed of handling official duties was spread and they were touted as a "capable minister". I didn't see anyone in ten days. After I came back, I finished the backlog of official duties in one day. Anyone had to praise "Great Talent".
"A group 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 inevitably blocked, so he asked when he took the opportunity.
Shan Wei put down his pen, waved his hand, and asked the officials to withdraw, and then said, "I'm sure,
The army lost its territory and it was a mess. I think the best ending is to save Jiangling, and Xiangyang was lost. However, even if Jiangling is saved, it would be just a city. I don’t know what the disaster would be like outside the city. After this incident, Nanjun didn’t know how long it would take to recover. You didn’t manage your property in Jiangling, right?”
"No." Du Yi smiled bitterly.
"It's good if not." 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 was in Jiangling and Wuchang had an industry, 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 army of Shao thieves besieging Xiangyang went south? Is there a difference between 100,000 and 200,000? There are too many people who can't be used, but there are still epidemics and food shortages. 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 look back, they beat Yuwen. The Goguryeo people dare not move, and they are afraid of being beaten."
"I think Shao-Shao Bidder will not 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 and 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 it's fucked! The court will admit it even if it's pinched its nose.
In order to redeem himself, Shen sent five thousand private soldiers 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 the Shen Chong family. It is even possible 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 of Jianye, the Jin court could send 8,000 soldiers to Jingzhou to block Tao Kan's mouth, so that he would not ask for more troops again and again.
Although these soldiers have certain combat effectiveness, they are mostly difficult to defeat Shao Bing in field battles, and they can only defend the city.
Or just carry out some raids with the help of the navy.
"This level of the Shen family has passed." Shan Wei threw down the official document and said, "However, the members of the Chen family who stayed in Jianye in Huaipu are not so lucky. They are dead. The best ending is to send a mate to the state."
Du Yi sighed a little.
When the Chen family in Huaipu surrendered, it was obvious that they had given up on the tribesmen who stayed in Jianye. Things were in a hurry and there was no way to arrange them properly.
He just felt sad that the rabbit died and the fox was sad.
For the gentry, war is indeed the biggest nightmare. It can make you undecent and unable to fully control your own destiny.
"No one in the capital was pleaded with in the matter between the Chen family in Huaipu?" Du Yi couldn't help asking.
"Why didn't there?" 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 cruel person. But she has no choice. Others can surrender, but she can't surrender."
"Not necessarily." Du Yi said in his heart.
Queen Shan is so young, if she is kidnapped by Shao Taibai, how many children can she get out of it?
"Let's go, go for dinner first." Shan Wei didn't want to work anymore. He walked and said, "Hongzhi,
I tell you, 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 of them gradually faded away.
*******
The Jin court tried its best, and the Jiangdong tribes also supported it many times. During the twelfth lunar month, there were boats standing on the Yangtze River and ships traveled endlessly.
Xiangyang, located on the shore of Mianshui River, is like a forgotten corner.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, Fancheng was attacked twice, but neither of them was a result.
Mao Bao, the military officer of the Jingzhou Shogunate, was left with only about 3,000 men. His morale was low. Everyone knew that they would die, unless reinforcements came to rescue the siege or surrender to Liang State. However, the latter faced a very serious problem, that is, their fate could not be controlled after surrender, and they might be sent to Youzhou or Liangzhou, and they would 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. He had to eat military rations until mid-February. Perhaps he could have been able to plunder the surplus grain for the people for a while, but what is the point when supplies and reinforcements cannot be sent in? It is 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 now Liang Bings stationed in Shangxia Erhui. I'm afraid your house will not be back, right?" Deng Yue asked after sitting opposite Yang Qin.
When asked, he looked at Yang Qin in no trace.
Yang Qin was also an old fox. Knowing that Deng Yue was tempted, he immediately said, "When the nest is over, how can you finish it? At this point, all the knowledgeable people in the world sighed. What is the loss of Yang's family business?"
When Deng Yue heard this, he looked admirable and said, "The northern soldiers went south and there were many people who destroyed their families. Shao Taibai acted so fiercely that everyone in Jingdi must hate it and would fight to the end."
Yang Qin felt aroused and said, "What the Lord of the House said is very true. However, I heard that Mr. Shao is very disciplined in his actions.
Perhaps it is not enough to do anything else, and it is not certain that the people below will do it 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 was willing-"
At the end of the story, it is a bit vague. However, smart people should know the meaning of elegance when they hear the string songs. There are some things that don’t need to be explained too clearly, just click them a little.
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 you know what the situation in Jingzhou will be like?" Deng Yue directly raised another problem.
Yang Tan was confident and said, "The court, like the Eastern Wu at most, can protect the places that can be preserved, such as south of the Mian River and north of the Yangtze River. Because of the existence of Yunmengze, the Eastern Wu defended it. It was precisely because of the existence of these military cities that the Wu people dared to move the capital to Wuchang. However, the Eastern Wu could protect Jiangling, but the State may not necessarily be."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Deng Yue asked with interest.
'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 wanted to get Jiangling very much, and was determined to do so. For this reason, he would not hesitate to kill and injured a large number of soldiers and horses, but he also wanted to force him to take them. What is the situation in 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 to do?"
"Control the navy and build a post."
Deng Yue's forehead was slightly raised.
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 the two countries to fight.
What will Xiangyang look like? But will reinforcements come to rescue it?"
‘Will Shao Taibai be unable to capture Jiangling and eventually be 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 hand." 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 want to protect Xiangyang. Lord, in fact, we are abandoned, and no one will come to save us."
