In the eleventh year of Xianhe, 337 A.D.

Zhenshui is one of the most important tributaries of the lower reaches of Rushui, and its flow is not far from the confluence of Rushui to the north, and then not far to the north is now under the rule of the Huainan Governor's Office, which is known as the "Tianzhong Dayi".

From scratch to fame, the city has only happened in the last two or three years. In the seventh year of Xianhe, Shi Zhao, who unified the north, sent a soldier in the country, and under the leadership of Shi Hu, the king of Zhongshan who was the captain of the state at the time, surging southward, there was a great tendency to break the remnants of the Jin court that survived the river. As for the Jin court in the south, it only used the young soldiers of Wuzhong, but in the end, the army of the state of Jin was defeated and lost, and the whole army was almost wiped out.

The outcome of this battle can be described as jaw-dropping, and the people of the Northland also have different opinions, either by the mandate of heaven, or by geography, and there is no lack of deep human feelings. Although there are different opinions and opinions, the name of Shen Weizhou, the commander of the Nanren battle and the young governor, is resounding throughout the Central Plains, and the Huainan Wang Division under his command has also become a strong army that all the characters in the world remember deeply.

The great war a few years ago directly interrupted the state of the country, which was in full swing, and the subsequent northern convenience has been plunged into turmoil and strife. And in this series of turmoil, the Huainan Army, which was shocked by the First World War, did not make any more amazing moves, and even the remnants of the Qiang Kingdom that were close at hand did not take advantage of the situation to exterminate it, which inevitably disappointed the people who went far away, and they all felt that the glorious battle was probably just a temporary luck, and it happened to catch up with the opportunity for the death of the lord Shi Le, and the chaos of the Karma Kingdom itself.

However, although the Huainan Governor's Mansion did not fight any more shocking battles on the battlefield, it was still widely known in the Central Plains in another form. That is the Hanging Gourd City located near the Rushui River, which is a place where the Jiangdong Imperial Court chartered and gathered the Quartet for trade.

Although the northern land is in turmoil now, in the minds of the people of the time, the land of Jiangdong is still quite contemptuous, and it is considered to be a southern wilderness with limited civilization. However, no matter how deep-rooted such ideas are, once they reach the hanging gourd and see the prosperity, such ideas quickly disappear. There is even no shortage of old people in Zhongzhou who said with emotion that the prosperity of today's hanging gourd can even be traced to Luoyang during the Taikang period of the Chinese Dynasty!

As the fame of the hanging gourd grows, the more businessmen and tourists from all over the world come here. There are many options for boats and cars, or on foot. But if you are a person from far away, the best choice is undoubtedly the boat waterway. Although the land of Runan is prosperous, the Huaishui, Rushui and other waterways in the region are strictly controlled by the Huainan Navy, although some times will also allow civilian ships to navigate, but more times the control is quite strict.

Therefore, a secondary waterway like Zhenshui has become the main channel for visitors from all over the world to travel to and from this place.

At this time, on the lower waterway of Zhenshui, there is a large civilian ship waiting to turn into Rushui in a long fleet. There were quite a few passengers on this ship, and there were more than twenty people standing on the outer deck alone, all of them burly men of prime age, with swords wrapped in leather sheaths hanging from their waists, standing side by side, and from the standing posture and bearing, it could be seen that they were quite aggressive.

However, this kind of staffing is not particularly outstanding in the fleet of ships queuing up to enter Tianjin on the left, and there are as many as several ships in sight alone than this ship, and it can be seen that it is not ordinary to have such a strong force accompanying the escort. They may be able to run rampant in other places, but here, they can only line up obediently, and even if there is a free waterway on the other side of the fleet for large ships to navigate, no one dares to fight.

This is naturally not because Runan is cultivated by benevolence and morality, but because they really don't have the confidence to be arrogant.

On both sides of this section of the waterway, there are Huainan military water villages towering. There may not be many soldiers in the water village, but the well-equipped ones are amazing. Even if it is an ordinary patrol pawn, he is covered in full armor, holding a fine iron saber, and a rhino horn strong bow hanging from his waist. On the watchtower of the arrow tower, there are several huge bed crossbows, and the armor-piercing crossbow arrows that are thicker than the sharp spear are bundled on one side, which makes people awe-inspiring when they look at it, and even their bodies are faintly painful, and they dare not challenge the authority of the Huainan Army.

On the surface of the river, there are often Huainan naval troops cruising back and forth, and the iron wall spikes hanging on the outside of the boats are exposed under the water current, as if they are open one by one, ready to choose people and devour the huge mouths of fierce beasts! Although there are not many soldiers on the ship, except for the fine armor blade, each of them is equipped with a strong crossbow, in this river that cannot be quickly distanced, if there is a conflict at close range, then the only thing that greets the troublemakers is the fate of being slaughtered!

"For more than a year in the east, there is no shortage of heroes in all the realms that have passed, but the warriors are strong and vigorous, and there is really nothing more than in front of them! With this heroic weapon, who can be it? No wonder in the early years, Shi Jilong was surrounded by the crowd, and he still wanted to hate it! ”

There are several other people on the civilian ship who are seated in the cabin, and through the side window, they see the heroic posture of the Huainan soldiers on both sides, and some people can't help but sigh with emotion. Although the Huainan Army is just a normal patrol and defense, there is a trace of the elite atmosphere of strict laws and regulations between the actions. And those well-armed are certainly intimidating, but if they can be fully equipped without affecting their operations, the soldiers themselves can be called elite divisions.

The people on the boat are different from the times in terms of clothing and accents, but they have a bit of Chinese rhyme. As one person spoke, the rest of the people also began to discuss, praising Huainan's strong military posture, but the tone was different, some were full of satisfaction, and some were just simple and objective evaluations.

Among them, two of them were the most eager, and one of them couldn't help but high-five and laughed: "On the occasion of Yongjia, avoid the west, only the common people are in deep calamity, and the society is declining. After seeing and hearing on the way, I knew that the revival of the royal industry was promising. With the prosperity of this material, the strength of this army, and the combination of virtuous and virtuous ministers, Jin Zuo will surely prosper this world again. ”

Hearing this person's slight gaffe and emotion, someone on the side frowned slightly, and his displeasure was overflowing.

This group of people has a long history, and they are envoys of the Zhang family in Liangzhou. With the division of the Qiang Kingdom, the control of the border areas was weakened, and Guanzhong, Longshang and other places were also in dispute, among which there were many people who were attached to the Zhang family in the west, and the Zhang family also made great progress, and took this opportunity to restore contact with the Jiangdong court again. They traveled from Liangzhou to Guanzhong in the east, all the way through Liangzhou to Jingzhou, and after a long journey, they arrived at the jurisdiction of the Huainan Governor's Office.

The identity of this group of envoys is also complicated, including the surnames of the Western local tyrants, as well as the people who went west to avoid disasters when the Central Plains and Guanzhong were in turmoil earlier. Among them, the person who was emotionally out of shape, named Wen Ji, was a member of the Wen clan in Taiyuan, that is, the clansman of Jiangdong Shangshu Ling Wen Qiao. His people were so emotional, praising the Jiangdong Imperial Court, listening to the ears of some Zhang's subordinates, there was a sense of favoritism, and it was inevitable that they were a little displeased.

As soon as Wen Ji's words fell, there was already a Liangzhou envoy who couldn't help but want to speak, but the leader didn't want to make the atmosphere too embarrassing, and after stopping him, he turned to look at another Confucian scholar in his thirties on the side and said with a smile: "Why didn't Shi Xin speak?" You are the wise man of the Western Soil who the Governor of Huainan Shen wants to see, don't you have nothing to say? ”
