Four hundred and twentieth chapters terminally ill
Han Daochang and Han Jun escorted the old man Han Wenhuan into the northern foot of Fuyu Mountain. They first sent people to Sitian Dun to contact Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang. Then they waited until Li Pu arrived and then went to Guangde Village to meet with Han Qian.
Xi Rong walked into the Dongkua Courtyard. There was no one in the courtyard. In the hall, besides Han Qian, Feng Liao, Feng Yi, Zhang Ping, Yuan Guowei, the old man Han Wenhuan, Han Daochang, Han Jun and others, there were also Li Pu, Li Xiu and others.
, Li Qi, Wei Zhen, Yao Xishui and others.
At this time, Li Yu's condition was so serious that he could not get up from his bed. After Han Wenhuan came over, he went over for a quick meeting. Li Yu had difficulty even speaking and was a little confused.
Sitting in front of the case, Han Qian, who was originally quite serious, saw a smile in his eyes when he saw Xi Rong walking over. He walked barefoot from behind the long case and walked to the corridor, feeling happy again.
Then he asked with concern: "Why did you come here in person? Was it hard along the way? How is Ting'er doing?"
Xi Rong looked at Han Qian with a smile and saw that he was much thinner than when he was in Xuzhou.
Although after entering Guangde and encountering the scouts and horses of the Chishan Army, Xi Rong no longer needed to disguise herself, but she only took off her disguise on the way and had no time to stop and freshen up.
, people are also extremely trapped and haggard.
However, it is hard to give up on her natural beauty. Under her long eyebrows, her beautiful eyes are full of water, deep and charming.
No matter how rough the first half of Xi Rong's life was, she was now the female head of the Xi family.
And Xi Rong has been waiting by Han Qian's side all year round. Together with Zhao Ting'er, they are the two most important women around Han Qian. Xinchang Hou Li Pu, Zhang Ping and even Han Daochang, Han Jun cannot ignore her presence. At this time, they are all sitting far away.
He watched with various expressions as Han Qian walked to the corridor and took Xi Rong's hand up the steps.
Xi Rong glanced at the people with different expressions in the hall, stood in front of the corridor and whispered to Han Qian: "I left Xuzhou. Mrs. Ting just gave birth to your little son. Both mother and son are safe. Only then can I get away."
I ran over to give you the good news."
"Really!" Han Qian rubbed his hands happily, pulled Xi Rong back to the hall, and said to the old man, "Grandpa, Ting'er just gave birth to a big fat boy for me in Xuzhou..." He asked Xi Rong
Lin sat directly next to him and then remembered something, "Have you given that boy a name?"
Xi Rong bowed to Han Wenhuan and others, then sat down next to Han Qian and whispered: "Mrs. Ting has been waiting for you to name the young master! You haven't mentioned it in several letters..."
Han Qian patted his forehead and sighed shamelessly: "The troops are so arrogant, but I have neglected this important matter."
Han Wenhuan has cultivated his moral character for many years since he became an official. Although he is already 76 this year, which is a rare longevity in this world, this time he came to Jinling through hard work and wind and rain. Han Daochang and Han Jun all felt that it was very hard, but Han Wenhuan
However, he was in good spirits. He stroked his white beard happily and said, "It's such a great joy for our old Han family to have a new baby!"
Li Pu, Wei Zhen and others couldn't hear that anything good had happened to Han Qian, and looked gloomy, but they also congratulated Han Qian along with everyone else.
"If I can actually surrender to Gu Zhilong this time, that would be a great joy." Han Qian laughed and said in a good mood.
Xi Rong was wondering why Han Qian was so convinced that Gu Zhilong could be recruited by Yue Yang, but seeing that everyone here was in high interest, she temporarily suppressed her confusion and listened to Han Qian's words with everyone.
"Master Zhang, Feng Yi, and Feng Liao went to Langxi twice to see Gu Zhilong, but they were driven back by Gu Zhilong's arrows and failed to enter the city to see Gu Zhilong in person," Han Qian said, "Obviously, Gu Zhilong is still
I am worried that the matter of contact with Yueyang will be known to Anning Palace and King Xin - whether it is successful or not, Grandpa, you should temporarily conceal your names and go to Xuancheng first."
Having said this, Han Qian looked at Li Pu again and asked: "Master Li, what do you think?"
"Although Gu Zhilong is stationed in Langxi personally, most of the representatives of various families in Xuanzhou who are familiar with Mr. Lao are in Xuancheng," Li Pu pondered for a while and then said, "Master Lao and Mr. Daochang should go to Xuancheng first.
"
Zhang Ping and Feng Yi went to Langxi once, but were driven back by Gu Zhilong's random arrows. Later, Han Qian asked Feng Liao to accompany Zhang Ping to Langxi. They also failed to enter the city, but Gu Zhilong's random arrows drove them away, but they were just
He refused to allow Zhang Ping and others to enter the city, and refused to contact the Chishan Army. However, he had no intention of antagonizing Yue Yang at this time. He just wanted to continue to wait and see the situation and wait for the price to sell.
At present, Gu Zhilong is standing guard in Langxi City with strong walls and clear fields. Anyone entering or leaving Langxi City cannot avoid the eyes and ears of Anning Palace and the Chuzhou Army. However, Xuancheng is surrounded by Langxi City, Magu Mountain in the south, Shifo Mountain and Nanyi Mountain in the west.
The lake protected the inner line, and there was no chance that it would be raided by the Chuzhou Army and the Chishan Army. At this time, except for the 6,000 Xuanzhou soldiers stationed there, there was no special tension in urban and rural life, and there were no restrictions on business travelers entering and exiting the city.
Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, also felt that Han Wenhuan and Han Daochang would go to Xuancheng first and find local representatives who could speak to Gu Zhilong to spread the word, so that they could avoid the eyes and ears of Anning Palace and Chuzhou and meet Gu Zhilong privately.
No matter what Gu Zhilong's mentality is at this moment, he must first meet with his superiors before he can win over him further.
"Okay, it's better to do things quickly rather than later. We'll leave for Xuancheng tonight!" Han Daochang said eagerly.
Han Daochang still couldn't figure out Han Qian's thoughts, and he didn't know how much Han Qian still held a grudge against Lao San's death, so before they entered Guangde, they first sent someone to contact Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, and then asked Li Pu to go to Guangde with Han Daochang to meet Han Daochang.
Modesty.
Since Li Pu didn't have any doubts about seeing him at this time, why should he hesitate?
Let's talk about Zhang Ping. Although the Feng brothers failed to see Gu Zhilong twice and were driven back by random arrows, they were able to reach Langxi City unscathed. Doesn't it just show Gu Zhilong's attitude?
He believed that Gu Zhilong would not embarrass them even if he was unwilling to make a choice at this time.
At worst, just go quietly and then leave quietly.
Seeing that his second uncle Han Daochang no longer had any doubts, Han Qian pressed the long case with his hand and said: "To avoid exposing your whereabouts, I will take Feng Liao and Zhao Wuji to lead the cavalry battalion to inspect the defense of Tingzi Mountain and send you to Tingzi Mountain - after arriving at Tingzi Mountain
, and then a small group of scouts will use the night to escort you from the west bank of Nanyi Lake to Xuancheng. I believe that I will hear the good news from you in three to five days! By then His Highness will be enthroned in Jinling, and I will
All the princes have the merit of serving the dragon, so it should be no problem to be granted the title of marquis! Mr. Li Hou is the father-in-law of the country. In the past, Han Qian had some shortcomings, so he still needs to ask Mr. Li to forgive him!"
Thinking of how after successfully recruiting Gu Zhilong, the Qiuhu Army, the Chishan Army and the Xuanzhou Army would join forces, and at the same time, enough supplies could be obtained from Xuanzhou to last three to five months, the situation would be tilted towards Yueyang, Xinchang Marquis Lipu was also quite excited.
I secretly feel that Han Qian may have had such a plan when he first entered Jinling, and he thought about moving the Chishan Army to the Xuanzhou side step by step, right?
If Li Pu hadn't been cautious by nature and easily avoided danger, he would have thought of going to Xuancheng with Han Wenhuan and Han Daochang to meet Gu Zhilong. In that case, it would also appear that Yueyang was more sincere, and it would be enough to make up for the negative consequences of his many early failures.
Influence.
It took Li Pu a while to suppress the impulse in his heart. He thought that meeting Gu Zhilong at this time might give him the illusion of claiming credit. If he wanted to rely on his sharp tongue to gain a foothold, he could probably recruit Gu Zhilong after he successfully recruited him.
He personally rushed back to Hongzhou to persuade Yang Zhitang to defect to Yueyang.
The doubts in Yao Xishui's heart were still lingering, and he secretly looked at the way Han Qian was talking to Mr. Han, Han Daochang, Han Jun and others. However, Han Qian ignored Yao Xishui and spoke to Xi Rong in a low voice when he had free time, asking questions.
Regarding the current situation in Xuzhou, ask about the progress of the joint attack between the Yang family in Sizhou and Wang Yong in Yuzhou against the Wuliao people...
…………
…………
After the matter was agreed, Zhao Wuji led the cavalry battalion and Feng Liao to escort Han Wenhuan, Han Daochang and others to Tingzi Mountain at the junction of Langxi and Langxi in the west.
In order to avoid falling into the eyes of interested people, after Li Pu once again visited his eldest brother lying on the hospital bed, he took Li Xiu and Li Qi back to Sitian Dun, surrounded by hundreds of fine riders.
Yao Xishui, however, could never trust Han Qian. When sending Li Pu and the others away from Guangde Village, she expressed her doubts: "Han Qian and the rest of the Han family are incompatible with each other. They shouldn't get along so well."
With ah?”
"In the face of unparalleled feats, what can't be tolerated?" Li Pu said generously, sitting on his horse, looking at the setting sun of the Western Mountains like blood, "The Chishan Army should not have ten days of food reserves left, right? Han Qian was not sure.
Huzhou opened a gap, and at the same time he wanted to attack Guangde. It is human nature for him to be eager to negotiate peace with Xuanzhou. I believe that in three to five months, it will be the time for the third prince to return to Jinling."
"I hope so." Yao Xishui said with an empty heart. After seeing off Li Pu and others, she took her maid Ye Feiying back to Guangde Village and the yard where Li Yu was recuperating. She turned around and turned around at night, unable to sleep.
In the early morning, she heard Li Yu coughing violently. She put on her clothes and went to see the maid, Ye Feiying, carrying a copper basin and walking out of the house. There was another pool of black blood.
"Is the prince in good spirits?" Yao Xishui asked the maid.
"I woke up a little bit just now and asked about Lord Marquis's visit today. After Taoist Master Yun said it, he sighed twice inexplicably." Ye Feiying, the maid, replied.
"Huh?" Yao Xishui raised his eyebrows. He walked into the bedroom and saw Yun Puzi sitting in front of the hospital bed taking care of Li Yu. There was no other outsider, so he asked, "Does the county prince also think there is a problem with this matter?"
Li Yu stared at the tent on the top of the bed with his turbid sick eyes, but did not respond. His chest was wheezing like a drum, and he could see that there was more air coming out and less air coming in.
Seeing this scene, Yao Xishui also sighed slightly in his heart. Since ancient times, beauties have lamented the old age, and heroes are not allowed to see their hair grow old. Everyone in the world thinks that Li Yu is the number one general in Chu. He never thought how miserable he was lying on the bed. Li Xiu was busy with military affairs.
He couldn't stay on his death bed until his death, not to mention that his eldest son Li Changfeng was thousands of miles away.
"I'll play the piano for the Prince's Palace. It's just that my piano skills are not as good as Sister Hongyu's. I hope the Prince will take care of me a little more." Yao Xishui asked the maid to bring the piano over, and then started strumming the piano in front of Li Yu's sick bed.
It is true that Yao Xishui said that his piano skills were not as good as Su Hongyu's, but he was also a rare master in the world.
Li Yu looked a little better as he listened to the music, but no matter how Yao Xishui tried, he refused to say anything.
The next day Li Yu was in better spirits, and his face was as rosy as if he was recovering from an illness. In the afternoon, he specifically ordered the guards to invite Han Qian over.
"Unfilial piety is one of the ten evil crimes." Li Yu asked Yao Xishui to help him sit up in front of the hospital bed and talk to Han Qian.
"The prince of the county also said, 'It is ridiculous to laugh at the vast sky of the Chu River, but it cannot wash away the grievances of direct ministers.' Han Qian has never been so forward-looking and backward-looking when planning affairs," Han Qian said.
Yao Xishui looked at Han Qian and Xi Rong beside him, and couldn't guess what kind of conspiracy Li Yu was playing with Han Qian.
"If my words are effective, I will definitely tell my brother and Xiu'er not to be your enemy, but unfortunately I am about to be buried and no one will listen to what I say." Li Yu sighed and said, "Yao Yatou, Yun
Even the old Taoists feel that I have been famous all my life, but now I am somewhat miserable."
"Everyone has his own opportunity, so why should the prince insist?" Han Qian said.
"Gu Zhilong should bite the hook now, right?" Li Yu asked.
"I have a thousand cavalry near Tingzi Mountain. Gu Zhilong was afraid of changes on the way, so he took 1,500 cavalry back to Xuancheng - I also just received the letter." Han Qian said.
"You didn't hesitate to use Mr. Han as bait to lure Gu Zhilong and his elite to return to Xuancheng for secret talks. You want to beat Lang Xi! What a ruthless plan you have!" Yao Xishui looked at Han Qian in shock. She always felt that there was something wrong with Han Qian.
, but never thought that Han Qian would try every possible means to deceive his grandfather Han Wenhuan, just a bait to lure Gu Zhilong to bite the hook!
Han Qian's face trembled slightly, and he stared at Yao Xishui with dazzling eyes. After a long while, he silently led Xi Rong away.
