Chapter 554: A Lifetime of Worry
A few days after Huan Xuan's defeat and retreat to Jingzhou, after Sima Xiuzhi was rewarded by the imperial court, he led all the Le troops back to Huainan non-stop.
Sima Xiuzhi has been stationed in Huainan for a period of time, and during this time, he has nothing else to worry about except for the occasional need to deal with Sima Daozi's letters.
And what he can't stand the most in Jiankang City is the kind of depression that will not disappear anytime and anywhere, as Wei Jie thought, as long as people are in Jiankang City, Sima Xiuzhi will feel that he is an ant-like existence, whether it is Xie An, Sima Daozi, or Sima Yao, he can kill him at any time!
This feeling also made him sit on pins and needles, and it was difficult to sleep and eat, until the moment he stepped out of the Jiankang City Gate, this feeling gradually disappeared, and after returning to Huainan, Sima Xiuzhi had a feeling that he could pass through!
As the Taishou of Huainan, Sima Xiuzhi is undoubtedly competent, from the moment he took over Huainan, he knew that the rise and fall of Huainan City has been completely tied to him, stabilizing the people's livelihood and making great efforts.
Now in Huainan City, Sima Xiuzhi has established enough prestige, and has also won a good reputation praised by the people in Huainan City!
Huainan's change of Wei Rank has a deep experience, when the Fu Rong army pressed the realm, it was the first time he entered Huainan City, even because it was in wartime, Wei Jie can still clearly feel how inactive the current Huainan Taishou is on weekdays, whether it is a residential house in the city, or a city defense, it is a dilapidated and vigorous appearance.
And now Huainan City under the rule of Sima Xiuzhi, but give Wei Jie a sense of prosperity, even if the Qin army goes south in the future, Huainan City is still the first line of defense of the Southern Jin Dynasty, the atmosphere in the city still seems quite peaceful, the panic on the faces of the common people all day long disappears, replaced by a kind of hope and satisfaction.
"People are introspective, Sima Xiuzhi, who deeply feels the crisis, still has this ability!" Feeling the peace in Huainan City, Wei Jie thought with some emotion, and led the horse towards Sima Xiuzhi's Taishou Mansion.
...
"General Wei, why are you here!"
After seeing Wei Jie, Sima Xiu's face was surprised, and there was no hint of falsification in his expression.
"When I have nothing to do, I just want to walk around!" Wei Jie said with a smile.
For some reason, when he saw Sima Xiuzhi this time, Wei Jie's feeling of sympathy, he even felt that Sima Xiuzhi was much luckier than his Wei Jie, at least at this moment, he could stay in Huainan City and be his soil emperor who was not bound by anyone.
"The general is really good at laughing, now the general is a new upstart in the DPRK, naturally the nobles are busy, how can they have the leisure to come to my place?" Sima Xiuzhi also said half-jokingly.
For the Wei Rank, Sima Xiuzhi is sincerely grateful, and it is no exaggeration to say that he can still have this leisurely time in his life to enjoy, all thanks to the Wei Rank.
"People have no long-term worries, although they seem to be stable in Jiankang City at the moment, but Wei Jie's heart is not at peace, so he wants to come to Huainan to find General Sima!" said jokes, Wei Jie's natural first straight to the point.
"I don't know what General Sima thinks of the battle of Jingkou, the duel between the Beifu soldiers and the Jingzhou army?"
As soon as he said this, Sima Xiuzhi suddenly became a little indignant.
"General Wei, Xiu Zhi is really not worth it for you!" I only heard Sima Xiuzhi say angrily.
"In the battle of Jingkou, the situation on the battlefield is not unknown, the reason why the Jingzhou army was defeated and retreated so quickly was entirely because the general's chariot array broke the heavy ironclad infantry of the Jingzhou army!"
"To recover Jiankang, the Beifu soldiers naturally contributed to it, but Xiu Zhi always felt that this time he was able to defeat Huan Xuan and recover Jiankang, or General Wei and your subordinate forbidden army made the greatest contribution!"
"As a result... Alas! ”
Wei Rank smiled slightly, Sima Xiuzhi understood what he meant, most of the credit for recovering Jiankang was led by the Xie family and the Beifu soldiers, and his Wei Rank actually did not get any substantial reward, even the military rank, he was not promoted by half a rank!
"Has General Hugh ever thought about why the guard rank has no complaints about this?" Wei Jie, seemingly nonchalantly, asked.
Sima Xiuzhi was stunned, yes, if this is really the case, with the character of the guard, how could he not express half of his dissatisfaction? At that moment, Sima Xiuzhi fell into deep thought, but after a while, he still shook his head a little blankly, he couldn't figure out the key point.
"General Xiu Zhi can't figure it out, and it's inconvenient for Wei Jie to say more, what Wei Jie can say is that General Yuanfei thinks about this matter is as simple as it is!" Wei Jie, noncommittal, continued.
"Even if there is no chariot formation of the guard rank, the ironclad infantry of the Jingzhou Army will not be able to pass the Beifu soldiers in the end, because all of this is in An Gong's calculations!"
Sima Xiuzhi's face became more and more confused, he really couldn't imagine what it meant that everything was in Xie An's calculations? Could it be that the chariot array used by the guard rank to deal with the Jingzhou army had long been expected by Xie An?
"Is General Xiu Zhi still satisfied with the leisurely days in Huainan City right now?"
Just when Sima Xiuzhi was puzzled, there was a voice of indifferent inquiry in Wei Jie's tone, and he couldn't help but nod at the moment, the current life is the independent life he has dreamed of for many years, how can he not be satisfied!
It was just a sentence from the next Wei Jie, but it suddenly pulled Sima Xiuzhi back to reality.
"It's just a good day for General Hugh, I'm afraid I'm going to cross the road!" Wei Jie's expression was not shocking.
"Why did General Wei say this?" Sima Xiuzhi was shocked and stood up from his chair.
"Could it be that the imperial court wants to take back the position of Huainan Taishou of Xiu? Did General Wei hear any rumors? ”
"How can it be so simple?" Wei Jie, shaking his head, said.
"General Xiu Zhi is a meritorious person, Huainan City has been governed by you in an orderly manner, whether it is city defense or people's livelihood, there has been great progress, how can the imperial court take back your position as a guard?"
"What does the general's phrase mean?" Sima Xiuzhi's face softened slightly, and he still asked puzzled.
"I also hope that the general will guide the maze, the general's great grace, and the rest of the toothless will be unforgettable!"
Maybe Sima Xiuzhi is still blindly obedient to Wei Jie, but compared to anyone in Jiankang City, he still feels that Wei Jie's previous words are obviously not untargeted, he must have sensed some crisis, and he will remind him, at the moment Sima Xiuzhi did not dare to slack off, and asked very respectfully.
"If General Hugh can trust the Wei Rank, or that sentence, if necessary, provide the Wei Rank with help within his ability, and the Wei Rank will definitely be able to ensure that the general is worry-free for a lifetime, and he can live the life like this in this life!"
There was no further explanation, just a simple sentence that seemed perfunctory, Wei Jie stood up, Huainan was not the destination of his trip, what he really wanted to go to was Shou County!
