After February, spring water gradually flooded and the earth gradually thawed.

Although it occasionally has late spring cold, for example, it will snow heavily in Jiangnan in February. After two or three days, the temperature will rise again, and there will be another snow on the fourth night of the New Year. Then the cold winter seems to have consumed energy and will inevitably turn warm.

"Mr., if you miss the spring plowing, you may not be able to eat during autumn and winter. It is better to put people back first. It will not be too late to recruit them after the spring plowing is over. Just a few people will be in vain if you go to Jincheng." Du, the governor of Danyang County, said softly again on the bank of Huai River (Qinhuai River).

"If you cannot capture Jincheng, if the thieves move south in large numbers, then one by one," Shan Wei shook his head and said.

"Mr., why worry about the navy?" Du Yi smiled and said, "The navy of Liang is far away in Jingzhou and cannot pass Wuchang. Even if he comes, he can sink all his ships. The river defense is unhindered. After repelling the attack of Liang thieves, life will still be passed, and spring plowing must not stop."

"Oh." Shan Wei sighed and said, "Zhao Yin didn't know what kind of battle he fought. The soldiers of the Northern Palace took turns to guard the Huai River, and killed Liang thieves for many years. He boasted that he had strong soldiers. Five thousand people came up, but they were beaten up by the thieves and cavalry. Forget it, it would be in vain if I saw these two or three thousand people. Let's plow first, and go again in late February."

"The mansion is wise." Du Yi praised.

Shan Wei glanced at him and asked with a smile: "When it comes to spring plowing, has your manor been spring plowing?"

"The seeds, oxen and farm tools are ready," Du Yi said.

"Your property management has become more and more prosperous in the past two years." Shan Wei said: "How many shopkeepers are there now?

,

"There are already a thousand households."

"It's really a lot. If Liang's army goes south and fights here, can the manor be saved?"

"What are you talking about in the House?" Du Yi said in amazement: "The people in the north ride horses and the people in the south ride boats, each with their own strengths. With the invincible navy here, how can the Liang thieves cross the Yangtze River?"

Shan Wei smiled and said, "Who can calculate it all in the world? Guangtu (Shan Shihui) was transferred from Zuo Xiaoqi Guard Chief to Shu Gongshi last year. His official position was promoted, but his power seemed to be much smaller. Can he make a turn for the future?

It's hard to say."

"Why is the mansion so pessimistic?" Du sighed again.

Shan Wei shook his head and refused to answer.

Du Yi didn't know how to answer the conversation. To be fair, he got along well with Shan Wei, had a good relationship, and had a very tacit understanding on weekdays. If he could pull him, he would definitely pull him. It would be considered as a matter of having so many years of friendship.

Shan Wei dared not rebel, let alone be. He was not the kind of cruel and crazy person.

So he is tragedy here.

He has clearly seen through many things, but due to various reasons, he has almost no choice.

Du Yi thought he could already grasp Shan Wei's mentality more well.

Just like the two or three thousand Ding Zhuang who had just been disbanded and ordered him to go home to do the spring plowing work by himself, Shan Wei would not object too much.

In fact, I can't beat Jincheng anymore.

After so long, more than 5,000 casualties have been killed or injured. Now, Ding Zhuang is still being recruited everywhere to send it, but I don’t know how many more deaths will be.

Zhao Yin seemed to have lost confidence, but now he is mainly siege and erected the camp to the south mountain opposite Jincheng, confronting the Liang army through a river to prevent its cavalry from rushing straight, and then sending troops to attack the city.

Du Yi felt this was very dangerous.

He didn't know how much food and grass there was in the city, but when it was really critical, the defenders would eat people first and then kill horses to satisfy their hunger. I'm afraid they could last for a long time.

But then again, Zhao Yin couldn't capture him for a long time, and what was urgent was the important officials of the Southern Dynasty. What was his business?

*******

It was the eighth day of the second lunar month and the ice and snow were gradually melting.

Early in the morning, Wang Shu came to Cong Shu Wang Xia's mansion.

"Oh, I didn't expect that at this time, I would be the real county magistrate." Wang Xia said with a wry smile.

Huaide County turned virtual into real things last year, but I didn’t expect that at this critical moment, it would officially implement the river and river tracing, Jurong and each village entered Huaide County, Wang Xia was the county magistrate, and organized manpower as soon as possible to support the Jincheng war.

Wang Xia could not refuse, so he had to take office. But before taking office, there were still some things to do.

"How was Huaizu's manor in Kuaiji?" Wang Xia asked.

"More than 2,000 households in the village," Wang Shu said, "Kuaiji is a good place. My nephew has long wanted to move to that place, which is better than Jianyou."

"I only have 500 burgers in Piling, and I am also a native of Wu who was rewarded by the court." Wang Xia smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone in the world said that Huaizu is not good at speaking, I think they are all out of sight."

Wang Shu didn't seem to think too much about mentioning this matter, and said, "It's really impossible to do anything about Jianye? Yu Tan and Yu Si'ao had just won a big victory and captured more than ten children of the Qian family, but it didn't seem to be that bad."

"Ancestor Huai is beside the King of Kuaiji, don't you know? Qian was defeated, but he didn't die. He just didn't have time to recruit troops and was caught off guard. This matter has been repeated." Wang Xia's face was dark and he sighed, "The state affairs are difficult. I didn't expect that my Taiyuan Wang family has avoided the disaster in Jiangnan, but he still can't escape this disaster."

Wang Shu also didn't know what to say.

Since Yongjia, the Wang family in Taiyuan has made a big mistake.

One branch went to the East China Sea first, then to Jianye, and took root in Jiangnan.

One branch was mixed with the Huns and was later liquidated, but now only some of the branches of the subordinates remained breathless.

The most important thing is that the Wang family in Taiyuan is gone, how can they become officials in the future and how to maintain their family business? Thinking of this festival, both uncle and nephew were sad.

"Forget it, let's not mention these disappointments." Wang Xia said, "My wife and children will entrust them to their nephew."

Wang Shu nodded and said, "What is your duty."

After saying that, he asked again: "What happened between me and the King of Kuaiji---

The matter of Wang Jianji marrying the King of Kuaiji as the official concubine has been decided, and all the procedures have been almost done, with only a few details left, so obviously I cannot go back on my word.

This was certainly a good thing in the past, but it was very difficult at the moment. Wang Xia didn't have the heart to do this, just because he didn't know what King Kuaiji thought.

"Let's delay first." Wang Xia said, "National affairs are important. Let's make a decision after defeating Shao's thief."

"Okay." Wang Shu didn't say nonsense. After pausing, he couldn't help reminding him: "Uncle went to Jiangcheng and acted carefully. Jincheng would not be able to fight for a while, and the imperial guards and the Northern Palace criticized each other. Last night, hundreds of people seemed to have arrived ashore. The Prime Minister had agreed to help Su Jun attack Tangyi. Although the Liang people could not cross the river for a while, they were not easy. Just let Zhao Yin fight, and his uncle should not take it on his own."

These are all the truths that his own talents told. If you face outsiders, Wang Shu would have to talk about him.

"Don't worry about my ancestors, I can save it." Wang Xia sighed.

While the two were talking, Wang Zhen had already brought his mother and younger brothers and sisters over, and saw them saluting each other.

Wang Shu replied with a bow and said with a smile: "The mountains and rivers of Kuaiji are beautiful, and the land is a good place. If you should study, learn women's classes, and do not waste your time."

"Yes." Wang Zhen took his younger brothers and sisters to salute together.

Wang Jianji looked at the sword on her brother's waist and somehow wanted to shed tears again, so she could hold it back.

A moment later, Wang Ke also came over to greet everyone.

As the eldest son of the family, he wanted to accompany his father to Huaide and train troops.

The sun gradually rose, and the house was gradually empty, leaving only a few old servants watching the gate.

Wang Shu stood quietly for a long time, and finally sighed and left.

The Wang family and the Great Jin Dynasty were so similar, they were just surviving.

*******

The wind is cold and the ships are shuttled.

On the undulating river surface, the overwhelming ships are magnificent.

Su Jun also came to the riverside and looked at the endless fleet on the river.

"Hundreds of miles of ships are shipped in the river, and there are still many rich people in the Wu tribe." Su Jun sighed suddenly.

"Sikong, the people of Wu are both guarding against the Liang thieves and us." Ren Rang, the military officer, said.

Su Jun was already a three-monarch, and he had the privilege of opening the government. A group of guests around him transformed into a civil servant and became a member of the Guangling shogunate, and Ren Rang was one of them.

Su Jun said "Wu people" in public, obviously from Jiangdong.

But it was not his fault. For many years, the Jin court has not allowed refugees from the north to cross the river. They occasionally offer favors, but only a small group of people. One is because they are worried that the refugees are difficult to control, and the other is because they are worried that the local tourists are intensifying. After all, at the beginning, the refugees opened the river and did not stop them, but many things followed, so the refugees could not cross the river.

The second generation of refugees from Jiangbei has even grown up, but they still look like "second-class citizens". How can you make them happy?

The rift exists, not small.

"Now the emperor has fallen into the mercy of Director Wang and the woman, hey." Su Jun walked around with his hands behind his back.

Not far away is the military land that is ready to go, which has expanded rapidly from 7,000 people to both sides.

Obviously, Su Jun Latin enlisted in the army.

The original seven thousand people had excellent equipment, and Jianye often gave rewards. They had been trained for many years and had good combat effectiveness.

The newly recruited troops were much short of those who entered the army. The Guangling Armament was not enough to arm them. Many people were wearing linen shirts for farm work and carrying a wooden spear.

Don't laugh, this is also a soldier.

In fact, most of the time, this kind of infantry is the norm. Only a few people are well-trained and well-equipped, especially in the late dynasty. This kind of soldiers conquer a large number of them, with incomplete equipment, poor skills, and extremely poor psychological quality. They are all targets of cavalrymen to beat the heads.

But Su Jun is too lazy to care about so much.

As a semi-independent warlord, it is an instinct to expand the troops. How could 20,000 people say that they are so powerful today, 20,000 people are lined up in the wilderness, but not for the sake of going to war.

Ren Rang and other core aides also knew that Su Jun was still waiting and watching and did not intend to fight with Liang Renda.

"Send an envoy to Luoyang." Su Jun said, "I heard that the Grand Marshal of Liang has been hanging in the air for nearly two years. I asked for this position. I also asked for the position of governor of Yangzhou to follow Xin Yan's story, and see if Shao Xun is generous enough."

"Where is King Wuling?" Ren Rang asked.

"Hook it first." Su Jun stroked the hilt of the knife and said casually.

Ren Rang knew it and was very happy. The lord finally figured it out!

At this point, he will no longer devote himself to the Jin court. It is true that he will seek benefits for himself and his old subordinates.

Shao Xun's ability to promise Xin Yan to be the governor of Hezhou and still take charge of the old army shows that he may allow surrender to supervise the attack.

Yangzhou may be bigger and richer than Hezhou, but what can I do if I bargain?

Warriors in troubled times still care about this?

"Send someone to contact Changguang again. Chen Yan's troops have gone to Jiangnan. You don't need to be afraid and just guard the city.
