Chapter three hundred and seventy-ninth homecoming
Feng Liao was about to wink to Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Yang Qin and others, asking them to persuade Han Qian to take targeted actions. At this time, there was a noise from the bottom of the mountain. It seemed that someone wanted to break in, but was stopped by the guards guarding the bottom of the mountain.
stop.
Feng Liao, Tian Cheng and the others looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened. After waiting for a while, they saw Lin Zongjing, who was on duty at the foot of the mountain today, leading two young men in casual clothes up the mountain.
Tian Cheng recognized these two people, they were both Zuo Si's children and were leaders of the state camp.
Tian Cheng frowned slightly. These two people were supposed to be leading his men in the Qianyang camp to conduct intense training and preparations for war. They were also supposed to attend reading classes at night. Unexpectedly, he had rushed to Longya City in the past few days and not returned to Qianyang to stare.
, Du Qianyang didn't know what happened, so that the two formation leaders didn't even wear military uniforms, but wore casual clothes and broke into Longya Mountain without any hindrance.
Tian Cheng just heard a lot of commotion at the foot of the mountain. It seemed that many people had gathered there and wanted to rush up the mountain. However, they were stopped by the guards at the foot of the mountain. Only two people were brought up to see them by Lin Zongjing as representatives.
Tian Cheng stared at the two of them with his sharp eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Shi Ji, Wei Chang, what's going on with you? Who agreed that you leave Qianyang and come to Longya Mountain?"
Shi Ji and Wei Chang fell to Han Qian's side across Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Feng Liao and others, and knelt down on the ground, pleading: "We want to leave Xuzhou, come here and beg for your permission!"
"Are you going to rebel?" Tian Cheng's face darkened, he stared at the two of them sternly and asked.
Shi Ji and Wei Changnai were descendants of Zuo Si. They had good qualifications and extraordinary hard work and tenacity. He also planned to promote and appoint them. Unexpectedly, at this juncture, these two people actually wanted to desert Xuzhou and cross the camp.
The commander and him rushed directly to Longya Mountain to meet Han Qian.
If he asks the reason in a pleasant manner, then where is the military discipline and military law?
Tian Cheng didn't want to let Shi Ji go, so Wei Chang explained something, so he signaled to the guards who had followed him up the mountain to take down the two men and take them back to Qianyang for severe punishment.
In addition to Shi Ji, Wei Chang and others, there are many people making trouble at the foot of the mountain. If they are not cleaned up, the state camp and the state camp will treat the general's orders and military discipline as child's play. How can they still have fighting power?
"Peace," Han Qian motioned to Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and the others to get out of the way. He stepped off the bamboo couch, walked to Shi Ji and Wei Chang, and said, "I remember you. You followed me to Xuzhou.
Yes, but your parents and relatives are still in Jinling. Do you want to go back to Jinling to find your relatives?"
When Han Qian said this, Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Yang Qin, Feng Liao and others all came to their senses.
At the beginning of planning the war to reduce the feudal vassal, Han Qian brought Zuosi's most elite forces, including scouts, detectives, craftsmen, and Zuosi's children between the ages of fourteen and eighteen, nearly eight hundred people into Syria.
Prefecture, among which the descendants of Zuosi have the largest number, up to 500 people.
There are quite a few disciples of Zuosi who are scouts of Zuosi who entered Xuzhou and nephews of craftsmen. They have family members staying in Xuzhou, and their minds have been relatively stable from the beginning.
When the Wuling Army was downsized and returned to the state camp, Han Qian asked Feng Liao to identify these children first and give priority to their complete integration into Xuzhou. He also used various methods and channels to bring their family members who had stayed in Jinling to Xuzhou.
Come, or find a way to gather their family members who stayed in Jinling near Lanting Lane.
During the Jinling Incident, Feng Liao and Zhao Wuji moved thousands of people back to Xuzhou in a timely manner. A considerable number of them were Zuosi scouts, craftsmen and relatives of their children who stayed in Xuzhou, but there were also a considerable number of Zuosi.
The children, their parents and relatives all stayed in Jinling.
After the conspiracy to reduce the feudal vassal was made public, these Zuosi disciples were able to stay in Xuzhou with peace of mind, but in their hearts they regarded it as serving in a foreign land. Deep down in their hearts, they always regarded the place where their parents were as a matter of concern in their lives.
's hometown.
Shi Ji and Wei Chang were the best among the five hundred descendants of Zuosi, but their parents and sisters were still in Jinling. In the past, they could stay in Xuzhou and serve with peace of mind, but who could have imagined that the Jinling Incident would turn Da Chu
Fall apart in an instant?
At first, they were not that worried, thinking that the remaining soldiers from the Taowu Military Command would be a fighting force that could not be underestimated. By then, all the soldiers would have withdrawn to Qiuhu Mountain, and their families should also be protected.
Who would have thought that the Marquis of Xinchang, Li Pu, would give up Qiuhu Mountain so easily. During the retreat to Runzhou, no matter how much protection he provided for the large and slow team of soldiers and their families, tens of thousands of women and children were captured by the Anning Palace and beheaded as rebels.
At that time, Shi Ji and Wei Chang were entangled in their hearts. At that time, they were thousands of miles away in Xuzhou and could not take care of their families in Jinling. They could only hope that their families would escape the disaster and evacuate to Runzhou.
Be safe.
Until the news that King Xin used Marquis Xinchang as bait to severely defeat the Nanya Imperial Army reached Xuzhou, they could no longer sit still.
Because Han Qian's teachings to the children of his family soldiers and Zuosi's children were completely different from the traditional training of military attachés, they were much more comprehensive and in-depth. As a result, even though Wei Chang and other young military attachés were low-level team leaders, they had already achieved success.
Specific ability to analyze current situation.
Several young military attachés whose parents and families are in Jinling gathered together these days and discussed that it was entirely possible for Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, to abandon 30,000 to 40,000 small families and only lead 3,000 elite generals to fight against the Chu King's army.
We parted ways, bypassed Jinling City, looked for an opportunity to board a ship from the south bank of the Yangtze River west of Jinling City, and escaped back to Yueyang.
In that case, their parents and family will become completely abandoned.
And because all the young and middle-aged people have been spared, and the remaining people are mainly women and children, no force will accept them. Even if they will not die directly from weapons, they will die from hunger and cold!
Shi Ji and Wei Chang discussed with some children whose parents grew up in Jinling, and decided to leave Xuzhou together and return home to find their parents and family to tide over the difficulties together.
Although Tian Cheng insisted that military discipline should not be violated and his heart was as hard as iron in running the army, Wei often expressed his feelings with tears in his eyes when he heard Shi Ji's performance. He was also moved and could not bear to say harsh words anymore.
"You could just leave, why would you risk being punished by military discipline to say goodbye to me?" Han Qian stood in the mountains, looking at Shi Ji and Wei Chang, who came with him when they were seventeen.
In Xuzhou, three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and they have grown from immature teenagers to determined young men.
"My lord served the country and the people and suffered a violent death. You also had the kindness to teach us and give us achievements. Wei often misses his parents and relatives, but if he really leaves like this, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life," the two said sincerely.
He said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty wants to punish us with military law, and we are willing to be punished. I only hope that after you have punished us, even if we can only retain a disabled body after being tortured with a stick, I hope that Your Majesty can allow us to return home."
"Do the people at the bottom of the mountain have the same thoughts?" Han Qian asked, but he did not let Shi Ji. Wei Chang answered on behalf of the others and ordered Lin Zongjing to put the others up the mountain.
Together with Shi Ji and Wei Chang, a total of thirty-six people walked up the mountain, knelt on one knee in front of Han Qian, and said, "We have violated military discipline and left the army without authorization. We are willing to be punished by your lord!"
"Gao Shao, let Cao Ge go to their military posts and forget about other punishments." Han Qian ordered Gao Shao.
Tian Cheng served as Sima and the state camp's military envoy, and Yang Qin was responsible for the daily training and command of the state camp; Gao Shao served as the state camp's military commander and was responsible for recruitment, military registration management, military promotion and demotion, and military discipline rewards and punishments.
After understanding the original intention of Shi Ji, Wei Chang and the other thirty-six people to desert the camp, Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and others could not bear to deal with them severely. Perhaps they should be dismissed from their posts and expelled from Xuzhou, in order to respect their feelings towards their parents and relatives.
Sincere heart, right?
"Thank you, sir. If there is no hope of returning to Xuzhou, I hope that in the next life I can work as a horse for you." Shi Ji, Wei Chang and others said in unison, kowtowed a few times, and got up to go down the mountain.
"Wait," Han Qian stopped them and said, "I was the one who brought you to Xuzhou back then. It is my responsibility to send you back to Jinling today!"
What?
After hearing what Han Qian said, Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Yang Qin, and Feng Liao were all stunned.
Even though she understood Han Qian's thoughts best, Xi Rong, who was helping Han Qian pack up the books, accidentally dropped the handful of books in her arms to the ground. She never thought that Han Qian would meet the thirty-six people in front of her at this time.
Are the disciples of Zuo Si going to Jinling?
"Sir!" Feng Liao shouted anxiously.
He hurried back to Xuzhou in the hope that Han Qian would take action on the subtleties of Yueyang's people. He would not be surprised if Han Qian went directly to Yueyang, but he definitely did not want Han Qian to go to Jinling at this time.
That is a certain death situation!
In particular, Wang Wenqian had already noticed Han Qian after the Jingxiang War. Once Wang Wenqian and King Xin knew that Han Qian had arrived in Jinling, why not use all his strength to peel off Han Qian's skin?
Jinling will be completely involved in the melee between Anning Palace and the Chuzhou Army. What can Han Qian do if he takes dozens or three to five hundred people back?
Besides, we must do our best to recruit Shi Ji and others' parents and children back to Xuzhou, and keep this group of young and sincere military attachés to continue serving Xuzhou. Han Qian will definitely send a group of elite scouts there.
Shi Ji and Wei Chang's thirty-six people, if they can find their parents and family members, there will be more than a hundred people at most. They will send a group of elite scouts who are good at concealment and lead them to hide in the mountains and retreat to Xuzhou through remote trails.
, not impossible.
What does Han Qian need to do personally?
Is the situation in Xuzhou and Yueyang not as important as the parents and families of Shi Ji, Wei Chang and others?
"Sir, Shi Ji, Wei Chang never dares to let you take such a risk. Our own death is not a big deal, but if you let the master take risk, we will not be able to feel at ease even if we die!" Shi Ji, Wei Chang turned around and knelt down, urging Han Qian to give up.
The thought of sending them back to Jinling in person.
"It's not all because of you. The main reason why so many soldiers and young people gathered at Taowu Military Mansion was because my father and I wrote an article called "Epidemic Water Treatment". In addition, if you just sit and watch the bloodshed in Jinling,
There are millions of corpses lying in the river. It must be difficult for his father to rest in peace under the Nine Springs." Han Qian took out the blood letter that his father left for him before he was executed, and said behind his back, "Despite the chaotic current situation, I still can't rest in peace."
I feel deeply powerless, and I may not be able to return to Xuzhou to meet you all again, but if I don't try my best and face my father's last wish, I'm afraid this matter will become a knot in my mind that I have been burdened with for the rest of my life.
"
"What, sir, do you think the battle between An Ning Palace and King Xin can really lead to rivers of blood and millions of corpses?" Feng Liao and Tian Cheng asked in shock.
Jinling in the Southern and Northern Dynasties was the old capital of the Six Dynasties. After hundreds of years of development in the previous dynasties, Jinling City and its affiliated counties as Shengzhou had already accumulated a population of millions. Emperor Tianyou captured Shengzhou relatively quickly, and the people's livelihood was not greatly affected.
Chu established its capital in Jinling, and the population further gathered. It can be said that the prosperity of the Jianghuai River for half of its history was in Jinling.
If there is a river of blood in Jinling and millions of corpses are lying in it, it almost means that Jinling will be completely destroyed.
King Xin so sharply inflicted heavy losses on the Nanya Forbidden Army and beheaded General Xu Zhu of Anning Palace. Would it really be so difficult for the Chuzhou Army to attack Jinling City? Would the war really be so stalemate that millions of corpses would be laid to rest?
