Standing in front of the window, watching Feng Yi, Kong Xirong and others being persuaded to leave by Feng Liao, Han Qian shook his head and couldn't help but sigh. Looking at Xi Yong's bright and moving face, he smiled bitterly: "I'm more excited now."
I have a profound understanding of what is meant by 'the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop'! Sometimes the wind is not only blowing violently from the outside, but also cannot calm down from the inside!"
"Compared to you, His Highness Prince Tan is right next to a volcanic crater that can erupt violently at any time?" Xi Rong walked to the window, stood side by side with Han Qian, looked out the window at the mulberry trees with fallen yellow leaves, and shook hands.
Finger said, "Foreign troubles aside, my own mother is peeping at power, my brother is like a tiger, my wife and father are like wolves, and my concubine is like a fox. I originally had a master who I could rely on and support, but now I have to hide in the dark and watch his good show.
, how long do you think His Highness Prince Tan can survive?"
"It seems that everything is dangerous, but how many people in the history of the ages can hold such power at this time? Whether he can get out of danger depends on his own destiny and temperament. If I don't know how to protect myself, I will not be able to escape death.
Misfortune, and even if I am willing to sacrifice my life at this time, even if I tell him all the secrets, he may not believe it, and if he believes it, he may not be able to wait for the opportunity. In fact, nothing can be done, and it will not help the overall situation.
In this regard, I am still not as good as my father." Han Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"If you tell Feng Liao about Li Zhigao's secret, can Feng Liao comfort everyone's restless minds?" Xi Yong turned back and looked at Han Qian intently.
"Actually, Feng Liao is the most difficult to deal with. Before the Feng family's disaster, he had the ambition to make a contribution. After the Feng family's disaster, he had the deepest resentment. As for Feng Yi and Kong Xirong, they usually treat Feng Liao poorly.
They are very close to each other, but they also admire his ability to plan things. Others are more simple in temperament, and may be more concerned about whether women and children can get better arrangements. If Feng Liao can feel at ease, others will not have any big problems.
." Han Qian said.
"There's no one who doesn't fall into your scheme." Xi Rong glanced at him and said.
"But life is tiring. Now I can finally put my mind down. This time I can go back to Xuzhou to recuperate for a year or two. Otherwise, I will really grow old as a teenager," Han Qian took Xi Lin's soft and white hand and said
, "Look for me, have I grown a few white hairs during this time..."
Although he said this, he still wanted to pull Xi Yong into his arms.
Xi Rong glared at Han Qian and said angrily: "You keep saying that you want to go back to Xuzhou to mourn. Are you thinking of mourning?"
"In my heart, I respect my father's ambition to save the world and save the people at all costs, but what does that have to do with vulgar customs?" Han Qian said with a smile.
"You are reasonable, but if I indulge your lust and fall into the eyes of others, I will not become some kind of slut like Lord Charm?" Xi Yin stood behind Han Qian and stood behind him.
She took off her bun, picked out a piece of white hair and showed it to him, and said, "You can't pull out white hair, otherwise the more you pull out, the more you will get."
Xi Rong stood behind Han Qian and held his shoulders. Her eyes fell on the book in front of the case. On it were lines of small words written by Wang Jun with a pen. She asked: "Wang Wenqian has withdrawn to Yangzhou. Do you want to move them to Yangzhou?"
How long will my daughter be detained? But it’s difficult to deal with it. Can she be released or kept? I can’t kidnap her back to Xuzhou, right?”
"What do you think we should do with it?" Han Qian turned around, took Xi Ying's soft hand in his palm, and asked.
"Yao Xishui, Zhang Ping, Yuan Guowei and others all know that she is with you, so it seems that they can only hand her over?" Xi Rong stared at Han Qian and asked.
"Let's go together and ask her where she wants to go," Han Qian said.
Xi Rong was not willing to go to see Wang Jun with Han Qian, but she also thought about how Wang Jun, an extremely intelligent woman, would decide whether to stay or go.
Nominally, Wang Jun was still a prisoner of war under custody, so she and her two personal maids lived in a private courtyard in the corner of the mansion, and were usually guarded by several guards.
Han Qian and Xi Yin pushed open the door and walked in. Wang Jun was sweeping up the fallen leaves in the yard with his maids. When he saw Han Qian walking in, he hurriedly said: "I read some idle books last night, but the book you want has not been revised yet."
It’s over, maybe I’ll give it to you two days later.”
"Yueyang soldiers and horses have captured Jiangzhou. Your father will withdraw to Yangzhou with the Chuzhou army in the next two days. If you want to join your father, I will send someone to take you to Liyang." Han Qian said.
"Ah, Jiangzhou has been captured, so fast." Wang Jun gathered up his scattered hair, looked over the wall of the west courtyard with some melancholy, and looked towards the distant mountains. After a while, he turned back to look at Han Qian.
, asked, "After this battle, will you return to Xuzhou?"
Xi Rong looked at Wang Jun with great interest.
Although they had contacted each other several times, they all abided by their identities and did not get close to each other, so it was not possible to say that they knew each other well. However, even Feng Liao and many other close people could not figure out the matter of Han Qian handing over the military command and returning to Xuzhou.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jun, an "outsider", knows Han Qian's thoughts best.
"..." Han Qian looked at the slightly confused look in Wang Jun's beautiful eyes and nodded reluctantly.
Wang Jun looked down at the fallen leaves at his feet and whispered: "It will only take a month or two for you to meet King Tan. Then you can hand me over to King Tan! Even if Yueyang's soldiers and horses capture Jinling, they will still need
Recuperate and recuperate, and even if we send troops to cross the river, we will attack Shouzhou first. By then I may be able to return to Yangzhou to meet my father."
"Okay." Han Qian nodded and said.

…………
In mid-October, Jiangxi's army of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses was recruited along the river. In less than half a month, it captured the entire territory of Jiangzhou with a devastating force, making Huzhou and Jiangxi completely integrated.
After the Chuzhou Army was forced to withdraw to the north of the Yangtze River due to the threat of the Liang Army, Yueyang still had nearly 40,000 elite combat troops entrenched in the north of Xuanzhou. They almost bit their sharp fangs into Anning Palace with ferocity.
on the neck.
At this time, if all the aristocratic families in the world still cannot understand the overall situation, they are really blind.
On October 19, Zhang Ping, the supervisor of the Guangde Army, arrived at Nanxun City in Huzhou Prefecture. Huang Hua, the governor of Huzhou, came out of the city to greet him. The next day, his youngest son, three young grandchildren and dozens of other relatives and descendants moved with Zhang Ping.
He went to Xuancheng, and then he and his eldest son Huang Tianxing presented themselves to Yueyang, raised the flag of crusade, ordered their troops and horses to ride on more than a hundred large and small warships, and took the Taihu waterway to recapture Jiyang and Wuxi, which the Chuzhou soldiers had left empty.
Jinling, Yanghu and other counties.
At this time, the last batch of Chuzhou troops also exited the south of the Yangtze River by boat and retreated to Yangzhou on the north bank.
At this time the situation became more clear.
Xu Mingzhen, the governor of Shouzhou, was in Chuzhou, and Shouzhou also controlled more than 40,000 elite Shouzhou troops. However, at this moment, he did not dare to act rashly and even had to shrink back the garrison stationed in Shuzhou to prevent it from retreating to Jiangbei.
The Chuzhou Army took advantage of the situation to cross Hongze Lake and expand westward.
Although Anning Palace's garrison in Jinling and its surrounding areas totaled 120,000 to 30,000 troops, they had been suppressed by the Chuzhou Army for the past half year and were unable to breathe west of Baohua Mountain. They did not dare to advance even an inch eastward, and military supplies continued to
In a situation of shortage, combat effectiveness and morale are quite low.
At this moment, the Chuzhou Army was withdrawing to the north. Yueyang's main force of 120,000 to 30,000 troops was moving eastward from the west along the river at lightning speed. To the south, there were nearly 40,000 elite soldiers of the Guangde Army looking at them fiercely. How could they dare to separate their forces?
Seize Dantu, Danyang and other cities in Runzhou to the east?
However, with the left and right Guangde troops dividing their forces to occupy Pingling, Liyang, Liyang, Danyang and other cities, and Huzhou soldiers and horses occupying Jiyang, Jinling and other cities, the Nanya forbidden army did not dare to shrink to the east, and the southern defense line shrank. In a hurry,
He also gradually dispatched 30,000 troops and horses to reinforce Chizhou, thinking of blocking the main force of Yueyang troops to the west of Chizhou so that he could free up his hands to deal with the Guangde army in the south first.
It's a pity that the situation is no longer on the side of Anning Palace at this time.
Compared with the action of Huang Hua, the governor of Huzhou, Wu Zun, the governor of Hangzhou, and Chen Fan, the governor of Xiuzhou, took action slightly later.
Before October 27th and 28th, Wu Zun and Chen Fan personally led more than ten thousand local soldiers and horses from two states, thousands of carts filled with grain, and thousands of cattle and sheep, and rushed to Langxi to accept the Guangde army.
Establishment and dispatch of envoys.
Han Qian did not ask them to set up camp outside Langcheng, but ordered them to continue marching westward.
Han Qian stood in front of the city gate tower, looking at the dark soldiers and horses marching westward outside the north city gate. The ground was frozen solid, and the sounds of shoes and horse hooves trampling on the frozen soil came together, as if the cold wind was howling.
After the winter in the south of the Yangtze River, the weather was wet and cold, which was not too unbearable. However, the most painful thing for marching was at noon, when the frozen soil was about to melt due to the sun, and the mud ridges were trampled into a soft and muddy mess.
, one foot is stuck, and it takes a lot of effort to pull out and take a new step, so the march is usually carried out in the early morning or at dusk when the muddy road is the most frozen.
Most of the generals' robes are not thick, but they are very energetic.
Han Qian had no intention of competing with Li Pu, Gu Zhilong and others. It was time for the family members to fight for the new emperor's accession to the throne.
The Southeast Road, including the Huxiuhang Three Prefectures and the Guangde Army on the left and right, only has 60,000 troops. Before the main force of Yueyang arrives, it is undoubtedly a foolish move to directly advance to Jinling City.
No matter how dedicated Li Pu, Gu Zhilong and others were to making great achievements, they would not make this mistake.
Han Qian did not need to send Zuo Guangde's army as the main force, but as an envoy, all the troops and horses were under his control, and he had to make the final confirmation of all the southeastern road battle plans.
Han Qian first ordered Huzhou governor Huang Hua to lead the main force of Huzhou soldiers to garrison Yanghu and Jinling cities, ordering them to contain the enemy forces south of Baohua Mountain from the east, consolidate the local forces in the three prefectures of Su, Run and Chang, and guard against Chuzhou
The army might be able to fight back, but they did not expect the Huzhou soldiers to play the role of the main force, nor did they ask them to go straight to Baohua Mountain to fight the main force of the Nanya Forbidden Army.
Han Qian's second order was to order Lin Haizheng to lead his troops to station in Maoshan, and Chen Mingsheng to lead his troops to station in Lishui. From the south, he would stare at the Nanya Imperial Army stationed in Jiangcheng and other cities in the north.
The third was to order the soldiers and horses coming from Hangzhou and Xiuzhou to march directly westward, join the Youguangde Army led by Li Pu, Gu Zhilong and others, and march directly westward along the northern foot of Jiuhua Mountain.
The Yangtze River waterway starts from Jiangzhou City and ends at Jinling. The flow direction is almost an oblique straight line from southwest to northeast.
In other words, starting from the post road between Xuancheng and Jilong Mountain, going straight west, and capturing Nanling and Fanchang counties, we can then drink on the Yangtze River and cut off the connection between Chizhou and Jinling from the east.
Fanchang, as a large city near the river and the relay point between Chizhou and Jinling, was heavily guarded. Once it encountered a strong attack, it was impossible for the Nanya Imperial Army to fail to provide assistance. Therefore, Han Qian did not count on Li Pu or Gu Zhilong to attack Fanchang immediately, but instead asked for help.
They rushed to capture Nanling County, which is located at the northern foot of Jiuhua Mountain and eighty miles west of Xuancheng before the end of November.
In order to protect the area along the river between Chizhou and Jinling, more than 5,000 Nanya Imperial Guards have been stationed in Nanling County.
Regardless of the city, the size of the garrison, or the distance from Xuancheng, they are all very suitable for the Youguang De Army's first choice for success.
In November, the Jiangxi Recruiting Army completed the siege of Chizhou City. At the same time, Li Pu and Gu Zhilong led 10,000 troops from Youguangde, as well as an army led by Wu Zun, the governor of Hangzhou, and Chen Fan, the governor of Xiuzhou.
Thousands of local soldiers surrounded Nanling City...
