Now, the dust has settled on the raid in Shaoxian.

Zhao Jia and Aqi have been captured and are now being held in the Shaoxian County Jail; Of the more than 20,000 South Vietnamese people, the vast majority were killed or wounded, and only more than 2,000 were captured; Wude, the leader of Luo Yue, who did not participate in this war, took the rest of his clansmen and moved deeper into Nanling......

Although the bloodline of the South Vietnamese clan has not been severed, the young and strong people who have been killed and wounded by more than 20,000 are the vital force of the South Vietnamese clan. This raid on Nanxian has dealt a heavy blow to the roots of the South Vietnamese clan, and in a few decades, South Vietnam will not be able to recover to its current strength, and the dispute between Lingnan and the South Vietnamese clan will not appear for at least 100 years.

For South Vietnam, this was almost a catastrophe, but for Shao County, it was a great joy. The threat of the South Vietnamese clan will not appear again in the next few decades, which is an auspicious blessing for the people of Shao County.

Shen Zegao, Xu Maofeng and others have made great contributions in this battle, and the relevant good news has been sent to Jingzhao. Now, most of the soldiers of Zhichong Mansion and Lingnan Wei have left Shaoxian, and some soldiers have stayed behind to assist Shen Zegao in dealing with the aftermath, guarding prisoners, packing baggage, counting injuries, and so on......

In the past few days, Shen Zegao has been very busy, and he is busy with the aftermath, as for how to settle Zhao Jia, Ah Qi and others such a big thing, it still has to wait for the will of the Ministry of War. Before this, Zhao Jia, Ah Qi and others stayed in the Shaoxian County Jail.

It has been several days since the raid in Shaoxian, and although there are many more soldiers coming and going here than before, the lives of the people in Shaoxian County have basically returned to calm.

Shen Ning, Shen Cai's and the others had already come up from the underground secret room. During the raid, although the sound of Shaoxian's shouting and killing was shocking, they hid underground and didn't feel too real, as if they felt that this raid was just a child's play.

If it weren't for the increase in the number of soldiers patrolling Shaoxian, as well as the mess and corpses outside the city gates, they would have thought that this raid had never happened at all.

"Zhao Jia is a descendant of the Zhao royal family back then? But why did he become the leader of the South Vietnamese clan? I really didn't expect that. In the small courtyard next to the Shaoxian County Ya, Ying Nantu was talking. Because of this raid, Ying Nantu didn't seem to be so busy, and he spent more time with Shen Ning.

He thought about what had happened earlier, and he was still puzzled by this.

"Actually, this is just my guess, if it weren't for the "Lingnan Xinjiang Chronicles", I wouldn't have thought of this possibility. didn't expect that Zhao Jia was really a descendant of the Zhao royal family. Shen Ning took the "Lingnan Xinjiang Chronicles" that had been placed on the table, and explained to Nantu with a smile.

This explanation is both true and not entirely true.

Earlier, when preparing for the peace talks, Shen Ning always felt that Zhao Jia and Shi were two names, as if they had heard of it somewhere. In his previous life, Shen Zejing was in Shaoxian County to quell the turmoil, and Shen Ning was still in Jingzhao, so he didn't know much about the process of quelling the chaos this time, and after Shen Zejing returned to Jingzhao, he rarely mentioned this time of quelling the turmoil.

From the past life to the present life, from Jingzhao to Lingnan, Shen Ning has experienced too many things, and there are some details, perhaps the key, but he can't remember them all at once. Just like when she rescued Ying Nantu back then, if Shen Ning hadn't gone to Kunning Palace and saw the number of camphors in Kunning Palace, she wouldn't have remembered anything about Ying Nantu in Anjing.

This time is no different.

After deciding on the plan to cooperate with Shi and lure Zhao Jia to go to Guangzhou Mansion, Shen Ning felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that he seemed to have missed something. It happened that at this time, Shen Jing sent some books to Shen Ning in the county government's mansion to read them in his spare time to pass the time.

This is the last time Shen Ning went to help Shen Cai's family consult the dowry, and the words he said to Shen Jing were briefly mentioned, if there were relevant books about Lingnan.

Among the books sent by Shen Jing, there is a "Lingnan Xinjiang Chronicles", which is written by Chen Xianyou, a great Confucian in Lingnan, who was a person in the Huihe period, and this book has been written for fifty or sixty years. The above record is the Lingnan place where Chen Xianyou went, and there is such a description:

"At the beginning, there was the king of the Zhao family in Lingnan. Taizu won the championship and waved his army south, and the Zhao family then went up to the table to ask for it, showing that he bowed his head and paid tribute, and paid tribute to the foreign domain...... During the reign of Taizong, Zhao rebelled, led 150,000 people to gather Yue, reclaimed the king, and once occupied Guangzhou Mansion, Xiangshan Mansion and other places...... After the defeat of the Zhao clan, the descendants of the Zhao clan and hundreds of people fled, and went west along the coast by boat without a trace......"

This is Shen Ning's unique content from "Lingnan Frontier Chronicles". There was a king of the Zhao family in Lingnan, which is something that everyone knows, but no one will connect the Nanyue clan with the Zhao royal family back then. More than 100 years have passed since the events of that year, and back then, the Zhao family went west by boat, how could it appear in the deep mountains of Nanling?

But Shen Ning knew that Zhao Jia must be a descendant of the king of the Zhao family. Although I don't know how the descendants of the Zhao family returned to the deep mountains of Nanling, in the past hundred years, the hundreds of people back then, if they follow the normal development trend, are compatible with the 30,000 ethnic groups in South Vietnam today.

What's more, after reading this paragraph, Shen Ning finally knew where she had heard of the names Zhao Jia and Shi Zhi. These two names were said casually by Shen Zejing in the previous life.

It was when Shen Ning and Shangguan Changzhi made a marriage contract, Shen Zejing and Shen Yu had returned to Jingzhao from Lingnan, and her parents were discussing her marriage, talking about the date set by Si Tiantai and other such things, and also talked about the situation in Lingnan Road.

"I didn't expect that Shi would be a descendant of the Zhao royal family back then, and what I didn't expect was that Shi was still a retainer of the Zhao royal family......" Shen Zejing said this sentence back then.

After thinking of this sentence, Shen Ning began to feel that there was a huge loophole in the plan he had made with his uncle Shen Kaishan before. And the cooperation between Shi and the Shen family, perhaps, is just a cover.

Since Shi is a retainer of the Zhao family, how can he have the ambition to compete for the big leader? Although the previous dynasties have not had retainers who have betrayed their masters, the king of the Zhao family has been able to exist for so many years, and he still has a retainer surnamed Shi by his side, and he is also the leader of the three major departments of South Vietnam. Then, this Shi family must be loyal to the king of the Zhao family, and the Shi family must also be extremely trusted by the king of the Zhao family.

Since there is such trust and loyalty between the king of the Zhao family and the Shi family, why is there still a discord between Shi and Zhao Jia? How could Shi still cooperate with the Shen family? How could Zhao Jia be introduced into that kind of dangerous place?

Come to think of it, it's all impossible. However, Shi came to Shao County, and also started secret negotiations with the Shen family, and even sent people to Guangzhou Mansion to investigate the deployment of Zhechong Mansion. Everything Shi did was to win the trust of the Shen family and Shen Zegao, to show that he did have such ambitions.

Then it is even more illustrative: Zhao Jia and Shi have other plans.

Is their purpose really Guangzhou Mansion? If it was according to the plan of the Shen family and Shi Zuo, then the soldiers of Zhichong Mansion would be frustrated, and Shen Zegao would take the soldiers of Shaoxian County to Guangzhou Mansion to make meritorious contributions. Then, here in Shaoxian, there must be an empty guard, if the South Vietnamese clan invades, Shaoxian must have no power to resist!

Thinking of this, Shen Ning had cold sweat seeping, and hurriedly asked Qiu Wu to tell Shen Zegao: The target of South Vietnam is not Guangzhou Prefecture, but Shao County!

After Shen Zegao listened, he would say what he had said to Xu Maofeng. It's dangerous! Originally, the Shen family planned to use the deployment of Zhichong Mansion as a bait to combine the forces of Zhichong Mansion and Shao County to annihilate the Nanpan First Division. Unexpectedly, the plan of the Nanyue clan was in Shao County, and the Shen family almost fell for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Knowing the relationship between Zhao Jia and Shi Zuo, and figuring out the collusion, the next thing will be easy to do. That's why Xu Maofeng went to Lingnan Wei to find Yuan Huan, with the help of 30,000 soldiers, and asked the people of Shaoxian to put on soldiers' clothes, leave Shaoxian at the time, and march to Guangzhou......

And the real Shaoxian soldiers still remain in Shaoxian.

Of course, in order to make this plan foolproof, in order to ensure that Zhao Jia would not escape, Shen Zegao also took hundreds of soldiers, equipped with well-equipped crossbows, and waited at Sanli Pavilion, the place where Nanling must pass.

With this opportunity, the details of this plan were perfected as much as possible, and Zhao Jia's defeat was not too difficult.

"In this battle, many soldiers in Shao County have lost their lives, and the court's pension must be indispensable. Uncle is really, he has to take the soldiers to Sanli Pavilion, if there is an accident, the third aunt may not be worried. This great achievement is not easy to achieve. Shen Ning thought of the causes and consequences of the raid in Shaoxian, and his tone was not high

When the two sides fight, there will be dead and wounded. It was not only the people of the South Vietnamese clan who lost their lives, but also the soldiers of Shaoxian, Zhechongfu and Lingnanwei. Although unfortunate, it is their duty and mission.

There is no peace that can be achieved without bloodshed. Shen Ning knows this very well. The times are like this, although there are sighs and compassion, but they will still stride forward.

"Time is not with me! It's not time with me! In the dungeon of Shaoxian, Zhao Jia sighed, thinking of this raid and thinking of those clansmen who died, his feelings were extremely complicated. There is unwillingness, there is repentance, and more is the helplessness of defeat.

In order to regain the glory of his ancestors, in order to expand the way out of the clansmen, he must take the clansmen out of the mountains, otherwise, in the deep mountains of Nanyue, no matter how many clansmen there are, what is the point of the power of the Nanyue clan?

This is Zhao Jia's choice, and it is also the choice of being a descendant of the Zhao royal family.

It's just that after this raid, the power accumulated for decades was almost overturned in one night, and since then, the Zhao royal family has never appeared in the history of Dayong.

His choice is not right or wrong, he just goes with the flow of the times, nothing more.

And no matter what his choice is, Lingnan Road here will still move forward according to its due trajectory.
