I thought that I could return to Liaodong smoothly, but I didn't think that I was dragged by the Jiangbei refugees halfway.

Wei Shuo first asked Mr. Liu to take people along the way to persuade the displaced people to go north to Liaodong, and then took a boat along the ditch to Huaiyin.

Hangou, south from the Yangtze River south of Yangzhou, north to the Huai River north of Huaiyin, dug in the Spring and Autumn Period, is a canal that communicates the Yangtze River and the Huai River.

Hangou, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the place was divided, and the Three Kingdoms was the place where Sun and Cao soldiers fought, and its transportation was not smooth.

Huaiyin chokes the mouth of the ditch into the Huai, is the hub of the four major water systems of the river, the Huai, the river and the economy, not only the key point of transportation, but also the war in the Jianghuai area, will fight for Huaiyin.

For example, in history, the dispute between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the crusade of Zhou Shizong against the Southern Tang Dynasty in the late Tang Dynasty, all had a major war in Huaiyin. After resisting the hegemony of the northern heroes many times, the rulers of Jiangdong also used Huaiyin as a base.

"Huaiyin's strategic position is very important, and the ancestral assassin history took this as the foundation and tried to expedition north to the Central Plains. But he didn't want to be in the rear, and the family headed by King Langya had no intention of the Northern Expedition at all, and as a result, Zu Shizhi was a big hero and a big hero in Huaiyin for several years! ”

Wei Shuo admired the scenery on both sides of the canal, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion for the fate of Zu Li. In history, Zu Ti finally died of depression, and I don't know if he can escape his original fate in this life.

"The lord sighed with emotion, did he intend to recruit the ancestral army?" Mo Han asked casually by his side.

"Oh, no! Shuo knows that as long as Zu Shizhi exists, the ancestral army will not be disbanded for a day! Zu Ti is the symbol and soul of the ancestral army, and Liaodong has no ability to digest the monolithic ancestral army. ”

"Come to think of it, this is why King Langya has always suppressed Zu Ti, and no one will allow anyone to form a small clique under his nose. Speaking of this stubble, I admired the lord and implemented the policy of dividing the civil and military system early, which fundamentally avoided the appearance of powerful ministers and feudal towns. ”

"Hahaha. Shirong is overrated! ”

Wei Shuo was very proud of being praised by his confidants, but then he began to worry about the situation in Huainan.

"Shirong, due to the intentional connivance of King Langya, the situation in Huainan is a little complicated. Cai Bao, Zu Ti, Su Jun, and Dai Yuan are all unified, and no one is convinced. And they don't like each other. Dai Yuan, as a confidant of the King of Langya, sits in Guangling City, and his main task is to monitor the movements of various homeless commanders in Jiangbei. ”

"Zu Ti felt that although Dai Yuan was famous, he had no talent, and it was he who worked hard to block Hu Lu's soldiers in front and saved most of Xuzhou, but King Langya sent Dai Yuan to pick the fruit, and he was quite unhappy."

"And Xuzhou Sima and Linhuai Taishou Cai Bao are talented, but they are not famous. It is very much despised by Zu Ti and Dai Yuan, who were born in the family. Cai Bao had no choice but to stay in Xuyi County. ”

"That Su Jun is a person who is both talented and famous, but unfortunately he fell out with Zu Li because of the Northern Expedition, and although Dai Yuan values Su Jun, he is just using his momentum to contain Zu Jun!"

Mo Han had a headache when he heard Wei Shuo's introduction to the situation in Huainan, he didn't expect that a small place in Huainan belonged to four people, and the four of them also had their own ghosts.

"No wonder for so many years, even such a powerful character as Zu Shizhi can only nest in Huaiyin and stop! It seems that King Langya is nothing more than that. If you want to rely on him to recover the old capital, I'm afraid there is no hope for Hu Lu! Lord, you have to work harder! ”

"Hahaha. Haven't I been trying hard enough? ”

……

"What? Who do you say is visiting? Zu Ti looked at Zu Cai in disbelief and asked.

"Brother, the history of the Wei Thorn, the history of the Wei Thorn is here!"

"Really? Go, come with me to meet Lord Wei! ”

Hearing that Wei Shuo was visiting, Zu Ti was overjoyed. He has been able to live in Huaiyin all these years, thanks to Wei Shuo's help. Every year, Zhuqi County will send him a lot of aid, so that Zu Ti has the ability to maintain tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

"Oh, Brother Wei, I can be regarded as looking forward to you! I wanted to go north to Liaodong to express my gratitude in person, thank you for your continued support to Huaiyin. Just because he was entangled in mundane affairs. The wish to travel north could not be realized. ”

"Hehe, brother is polite, the younger brother can have today's achievements, and he borrowed your light at the beginning! The day before yesterday, he was summoned by the king of Langya to Jianye to report on his work, and today he walked to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and suddenly thought that his brother was sitting in Huaiyin, so he stopped by to have a look. ”

"Let's go, let's go, let's talk in the house!"

Saying that, Zu Ti took Wei Shuo's arm and walked towards the mansion, followed by Zu Gai, Mo Han and others.

"Brother, the younger brother took the liberty to visit today, one is to see the elder brother, and the other is to ask for something."

Seeing that Wei Shuo asked him for help, Zu Ti hurriedly said, "Oh? I don't know what's going on? Brother Wei might as well say bluntly, as long as it is within the scope of his brother's ability, he will do his best! ”

Over the years, Zu Ti has been helped by Wei Shuo, and he has long wanted to find an opportunity to repay one or two, but today Wei Shuo begged to come to the door, but he was in his heart.

"When crossing the ditch and going north to Huaiyin, the younger brother saw that a large number of displaced people had gathered on the north bank of the Yangtze River and were waiting to go south to Jiangdong, but as far as I know, King Langya had made it clear that he would not accept the displaced people to cross the river, and in order to stop the displaced people, he also sent a sailor to intercept them. The younger brother couldn't bear the suffering of the displaced people, so he wanted to send a ship to take them to Liaodong to live. ”

"Nowadays, Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and a large number of people are urgently needed, so the displaced people do not have to worry about having no place to settle in the north. Besides, King Langya did not mean to settle the displaced people, and the north of the river is narrow and densely populated, if the displaced people have been stranded on the north bank, a crisis will inevitably break out after a long time. If the displaced people are introduced to Liaodong, it will not only eliminate the hidden dangers for Jiangbei, but also enrich the population of Liaodong, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone! ”

"Well, Brother Xian is right, and he was worried about the gathering of displaced people in Jiangbei before. He also reported to King Langya on this matter, but unfortunately King Langya let Xuzhou solve it himself. Brother Jin Xian is willing to accept the homeless, which is a good thing! Okay, that's it! ”

Zu Ti made a final decision, to be honest, he has had a headache for a long time for the homeless people, in the face of the surging homeless people in the north, not to mention that the Xuzhou Thorn Mansion is powerless to help, even if the king of Langya is not powerless? Wei Shuo was willing to send a boat to pick up the displaced people to the north, and he was very willing.

"Good! Since the elder brother has no opinion, the younger brother will send a boat to pick up the people! But General Dai, Cai Taishou, and Su Neishi have to rely on their brother to dredge up! ”

Hearing this, Zu Ti agreed after a little hesitation, he himself is the assassin of Xuzhou, occupying the name of righteousness, and then an announcement will be issued that the other three will not be demolished in this matter.

……

The news of Wei Shuo's stay in Huainan soon reached the ears of King Langya through Dai Yuankou, which once again aggravated King Langya's suspicion of him. King Langya didn't believe that Wei Shuo's reluctance to return north was for the sake of 'outcasts', in the eyes of King Langya and other nobles, the homeless people were inferior pariahs and had no value at all.

King Langya thought that Wei Shuo's stay in Huainan must be conspiring with the Jiangbei feudal towns, and he had been lukewarm to the great cause of the Northern Expedition planned by Zu Ti over the years, and Zu Ti had long been disappointed in him. It can be seen from Zu Ti's support for Zu Yue to leave Yuzhou that he no longer pins his hopes for the Northern Expedition on King Langya.

For this reason, King Langya is very worried that Zu Ti will 'collude' with Wei Shuo again after being disappointed, Zu and Wei have had a happy cooperation before, who can guarantee that they will not come together again in the future?

Originally, King Langya was not very worried about those feudal towns, and if Zu and Wei formed an alliance again, the pressure on King Langya would be too great, but at the moment he had no good countermeasures. King Langya said that he was the lord of Jiangdong, but in fact, the real master of Jiangdong was a big family, and he just looked glamorous.

The Jiangzuo family dared to ignore King Langya's orders again and again, and assassinated Wei Shuo several times.

King Langya finally thought about sending a secret letter to Dai Yuan, asking him to closely monitor the every move of Zu Wei and the others, and immediately report to him as soon as there was any trouble.

Wei Shuo's stay in Huainan stirred up a large storm, not only by the attention of King Langya. Even Cai Bao, who was stationed in Xuyi, and Su Jun, who was stationed in Suiling, also sent people to send invitations, asking Wei Shuo to go for a while.

"It's just that Su Neishi sent someone to invite me, after all, he and I are old people, and we had a brief exchange when we were in Qingzhou. But why did this Cai Taishou send someone to invite me? I've never seen him before? What did he ask me to do in Xuyi? (To be continued.) )
