Zhang Ping, Li Chong, Yao Xishui, and Chun Shisanniang cleared out several courtyards in Wuling Military Post House and moved in. They were also guarded by dozens of guards that Li Chong brought here this time. Finally, they no longer had anyone to rely on before.
a feeling of.
"If Wen Ruilin's strategy can be implemented, ending the war in Tanzhou as soon as possible is what everyone expects,"
In the dead of night, Li Chong was afraid that there might be ears through the wall, so he argued with Zhang Ping in a low voice in the small hall,
"Han Qian ignored Wen Ruilin's words because he was resentful of Wen Ruilin's repeated suggestions to kill his father and son, or because he was jealous of talents. But we cannot sit idly by and ignore it."
"I don't know what kind of mentality Wen Ruilin has at this time to say such a thing. Don't be careless." Zhang Ping hung his broken arm on his chest and said solemnly. He didn't believe that Han Qian would be jealous of talents, so he deliberately didn't
Let Wen Ruilin finish speaking.
"Wen Ruilin has some scheming talent, but he may not have much backbone." Li Chong didn't think Wen Ruilin had any intention of deceiving him at this time. Besides, with so many people, who could Wen Ruilin deceive?
? insisted, "Ma Rong committed suicide after defeat, but he pretended to be a wounded soldier and only wanted to escape. At this time, he was unwilling to become a prisoner of war, and always had to show that he was useful."
Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang did not go to the county government office at night. When they saw Zhang Ping and Li Chong, they had been arguing since they came back from Han Qian. It took a while to figure out what was going on.
"There is such a powerful character, who has already seen through Emperor Tianyou's plan to cut down the feudal vassal."
Chun Shisanniang and Yao Xishui were more focused on secretly learning various treatment methods in the medical camp. They had not yet had the opportunity to come into contact with the captured Tanzhou generals. Some things were still unclear. After hearing Li Chong say this, she couldn't help but sigh.
,
"The Ma family and his son really want to take his advice and kill Han Qian in the Dongting Lake two years ago. We don't know how the situation will develop! Probably only such a powerful character can see how powerful Han Qian is.
We should pay real attention to it, but it is a pity that the Ma family and his son are a pair of idiots, and there are really no other characters worth watching in Tanzhou."
"Whether it works or not, it doesn't matter what we say. I will send someone to Yuedong Camp to deliver the message right now." Li Chong insisted.
Seeing that Li Chong insisted on sending someone to report to Xinchang Marquis Li Pu, Zhang Ping was unable to stop him.
Zhang Ping was the supervisor of the army, and Li Chong joined the army as a recorder. They sent people out of the city overnight to deliver the message. The generals guarding the city gate could not stop it, but they reported it to Tian Cheng immediately. Tian Cheng rushed to the county government and sent Han Qian to the county government.
Awakened from sleep.
"I know, it's such a big deal." Han Qian didn't pay much attention to it. He stood in front of the porch and listened to Tian Cheng talking about it, and then walked back to the house to sleep.
Xi Rong stood in front of the corridor with her clothes on, watching Tian Cheng exit. Curious, she opened the door and walked into Han Qian's bedroom. Seeing him snoring slightly again, she sat on the edge of the bed, opened the curtain, and pushed Han Qian away.
Qian Qian asked: "Why are you pretending to sleep, Li Chong? Zhang Ping sent a messenger out of the city overnight, how can you really remain indifferent?"
"It's so late, and I can't sleep for two hours until dawn. What do you care about?" Han Qian yawned and turned over lazily and said.
There were no lights in the room, but the moon was shining brightly and the stars were sparse outside the window. The window was open, but it looked quite bright. Han Qian turned around and saw Xi Rong covered with a layer of gauze, revealing her arms and fragrance, which were as greasy as jade.
He put his arm around her shoulders and put his arms around her slender and charming waist. When he wanted to make further moves, he was met with a look of scornful coldness.
Han Qian honestly put his arm on Xi Yin's thigh, took advantage of the situation to hold her waist, and said: "They are just reporting Wen Ruilin's incident to Xinchang Hou, so there is really nothing to make a fuss about. "
"Wen Ruilin said that he could offer suggestions to end this war as soon as possible. I thought you were really dismissive of it!" Xi Rong grabbed Han Qian's arm to prevent him from taking advantage of his situation and asked.
"My father and I have already made outstanding achievements in the battle to reduce the vassal state. If Wen Ruilin's strategy is presented to us for meritorious service, it will only arouse people's hatred, so this credit must be given away," Han Qian looked at Xi Yiyue. With a beautiful face on his face, he said, "After Tanzhou is pacified, I still hope that Marquis Xinchang can say something for my father and son. At this time, we must let them get some practical benefits."
Li Pu, the envoy of Xinchang, serves as the deputy envoy of Ezhou Jiedu and the deputy commander around the third prince. His status is slightly higher than that of Shen Yang. He is naturally the main strategy maker for the battles in Tanzhou.
However, the war against rebellion has been going on till now. Needless to say, the achievements of the Han family, his father and his son, and Zheng Hui in commanding the troops in Yuanjiang. Shen Yang governs Ezhou, and the pre-war preparations and military affairs are in order. This is a great achievement. Yang Jian mainly commands Lou. The navy and navy cooperated with all aspects of the battle, which was also a great achievement. Li Zhigao even made bold suggestions and led his troops to advance into the Yuanjiang River to join forces with the Wuling Army to capture Langzhou. However, the performance of Li Pu and Chen De was really mediocre.
In his early years, Chen De was only a mid-level military attache at the level of battalion commander. He was only given important position as a relative of the concubine. No one expected him to have any outstanding performance in military strategy. He only needed to be loyal to the third prince. As a meritorious general of the older generation, Marquis Xinchang's performance this time was mediocre, which really damaged his reputation.
"Are you sure you didn't dig a hole to bury them?" Xi Rong knew Han Qian's grudges with Xinchang Houfu and Wanhonglou, so she stared at his eyes suspiciously and asked.
"It's a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of generals. No matter how bold I am, how dare I do anything in this matter?" Han Qian asked dissatisfied, "Are you too suspicious of me?"
Taking advantage of his dissatisfaction, Han Qian used his strength to pull Xi Yin over unprepared.
Xi Rong was unprepared, put her hands on Han Qian's chest, stared into his eyes, and said coldly: "I have to serve you after all. In the eyes of others, I am also your concubine. You don't dislike my body. There is no way I can refuse, and I shouldn’t refuse.”
"Are you still brooding over Xi Cheng's death?" Han Qian asked.
Women's childbirth in this world is a hellish gate. In fact, girls' bodies have not yet grown up, and they are pregnant and have children before they have truly reached the age of maturity. The risk of dystocia is particularly high.
There are only a few people that Han Qian can really trust. He doesn't dare to let Zhao Ting'er take this risk. Sometimes he will ask Zhao Ting'er to stay with him for the night, but it's just a courtesy. He has to wait until Zhao Ting'er is twenty before he can truly Take her as your concubine.
It's just that Xi Rong's attitude has always been cold, which makes Han Qian feel somewhat unwilling.
"How could I still be interested in men and women after being tortured by Mr. Feng?" Xi Rong said.
Han Qian sighed slightly and said, "If you wake me up, you have to sleep with me before you leave." He stepped in and let Xi Yin lie down.
Xi Rong did not hide anymore this time. She let Han Qian go over to her side, gently hugged his broad shoulders from behind, and left quietly after he fell asleep...

On May 20th, Xinchang Hou Li Pu led Guo Liang's troops and landed at Shishou in a naval warship.
Guo Liang's three thousand elite troops stationed in Shishou City, mainly to completely cut off the escape route of Ma Yuanheng's troops who were trapped in Jiang'an City to escape eastward. However, Xinchang Marquis Li Pu did not stop at Shishou City, and rushed out of the stone with his guards the next day.
The first city crossed the Dongting Lake West Plain, which was no longer defended by invincible soldiers, and entered Wuling City on the 22nd, joining Han Qian, Zhang Ping and Li Chong.
Xinchang Hou Li Pu served as deputy commander. After entering Wuling City, even though he did not explicitly order the war on the western front to be under his control, from this moment on, he still had to take command of everything in Wuling City.
Of course, when Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, went to Wuling City, he did not ask Wen Ruilin directly, but invited Han Qian to discuss: "Chong'er sent someone to send a message saying that after Wen Ruilin, the counselor next to Ma Xun, was captured by you, you deliberately
Come over and pledge allegiance to His Highness?"
"I suspect that his so-called surrender has ulterior motives. Besides, he is such a person, and we cannot let him have the opportunity to get close to His Highness." Han Qian said.
"After all, we still have to listen to what he has to say," said Xinchang Hou Li Pu. "Not only Wen Ruilin, but also if anyone in Tanzhou sincerely submits to the imperial court, His Highness will be willing to treat him with courtesy."
If Marquis Xinchang could come, he must have persuaded the third prince to agree. Han Qian did not bother with him and said, "I will have Wen Ruilin brought here. Everything will be done according to the Marquis' orders."
Wen Ruilin has been under house arrest by Han Qian for the past few days. At this time, he was brought into the hall in a daze. But when he saw the people in front of the hall, he immediately became energetic and immediately bowed to Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang who was sitting behind the case.
Said: "Wen Ruilin has met Mr. Li Hou!"
Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, confirmed that he had never met Wen Ruilin. He could identify his identity at a glance and secretly praised him, saying: "His Royal Highness sent an edict to combat rebellion, but he never forgot his intention to recruit virtuous people. Han Sima praised Mr. Wen
He has great talent, Your Highness will order Li Pu to come over and see Mr. Wen."
Wen Ruilin glanced at Han Qian suspiciously, but then glanced at Zhang Ping, Li Chong and others who were sitting on the lower left of Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, and then bowed to Han Qian and saluted: "Master Han, please pass me by, Mr. Wen
People are just prisoners, so there is no such thing as great talent."
His actions showed that he could guess that it was Zhang Ping and Li Chong who sent the message, which was why Xinchang Hou Li Pu went on today's trip. However, on the surface, he had to follow Xinchang Hou Li Pu's wishes and express his gratitude to Han Qian.
Han Qian dismissed Wen Ruilin's clever little plan, but Xinchang Hou Li Pu's eyes were bright, and he did not conduct any more tests, so he went straight to the point and asked: "Han Sima said you have a plan to get peace as soon as possible."
There is war in Tanzhou, what plan do you have, can you tell me if you can?"
"The Ma family father and son are indecisive. If Ma Yuanheng does not surrender Jiang'an City, they will have some luck in Yueyang. The Marquis should cut off the return route of the Ma family father and son before they retreat south to Tanzhou. Then Tanzhou can spread the word and
Determined." Wen Ruilin said.
"How can we cut off the return path of the Ma family and his son? Are there still ten thousand elites guarding Tanzhou City?" Li Pu couldn't restrain his excitement and leaned forward and asked.
"Gao Long, the guard of Baimao City at the entrance of Xiangjiang River to Dongting Lake, married Ma Yin's daughter and Ma Xun's sister. She was trusted by the Ma family father and son, so he was able to lead his troops to guard the gate of Xiangjiang River. Ma Yin's daughter was ugly but fierce in nature.
Long once had a beautiful concubine secretly. When Ma Yin's daughter found out, he captured her and stuffed her into a wine vat, steamed her, and sent her to Gao Long's case during the night banquet as a warning. Only three or five people in Tanzhou knew about this secret.
But let me ask Lord Li, Gao Long seems to be loyal to the Ma family at this time, but in his heart he really wants to die for the Ma family?" Wen Ruilin asked.
Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, had not heard of these secrets beforehand, but he could not confirm that Wen Ruilin had not made them up, so he hesitated and said nothing.
Wen Ruilin continued: "If Wen can go there, he will be able to persuade Gao Long to surrender Baimao City. By then, the Marquis will command his troops to occupy Baimao City, and the Xiangjiang River southwest of Baimao City seems to be open, but the river is shallow and silted, and large ships can't pass it.
The channel is extremely narrow, and if seven or eight large ships are scuttled and sunk to the bottom of the river, the channel will be blocked and the Ma family and his son will be blocked from returning. Will the rebels surrender just by spreading the word?"
Of course, it was impossible for Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, to listen to Wen Ruilin's one-sided words, so he made a decision and temporarily arranged for the guards he brought over to escort Wen Ruilin first, and then asked Han Qian: "Han Sima, do you think this strategy is feasible?
?”
Han Qian said: "After Han Shou's garrison fled eastward, it withdrew into Baimao City. At this time, there were four thousand garrison troops in Baimao City. From Yuankou, it was a hundred miles away, whether by water or land.
Cheng Zuo, please ask the Marquis to decide whether Wen Ruilin's policy should be used or not."
At this time, the soldiers and horses gathered in Shoucheng of Han Dynasty led by Zheng Hui had already taken over 20,000 troops. Before the Ma family and his son led their troops to escape back to Tanzhou, their military strength had exceeded that of the garrison in the cities of Tanzhou. That is to say, Wen Ruilin could not
He persuaded Gaolong to surrender in Kaicheng and withdrew from Baimao City to Yuankou and Hanshou, a distance of more than a hundred miles.
As for Wen Ruilin, he fell directly into their hands after Wuling City was broken. There was no need to worry about who Wen Ruilin could conspire with to set up a trap to lure the elite Longque Army into the trap they deployed.
Xinchang Hou Li Pu pondered for a long time and said to Han Qian: "Let's take Mr. Wen to Hanshou City to meet Zheng Hui!"
