The Nanya Forbidden Army has retreated across the board to the north of the Shuiyang River, Fanchang to the northeast, and the three counties of Dangtu, Yijiang, and Xiangyuan to the east have also recruited troops along the river. The Youguang German Army has taken them without attacking and stationed them separately.
The soldiers and horses ranging from three to five thousand entered, connected with Lishui, Maoshan, Liyang, Jintan and other places further east, and protected Fanchang, Nanling and other cities on the inside.
Fanchang is not a big and famous city, and the city is small. Even if all the remaining county residents of more than a thousand people are moved out of the city, Fanchang City, which only takes more than 2,000 steps around the city, is far from being able to garrison nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city.
.
In addition to guarding the outer city, the main force of the Jiangxi Recruitment Army was mainly located between Changlu Mountain and Yinyu Mountain outside the city, using the terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack to set up camp.
After Fanchang City was vacated, Chen De and Yang Fan, the crown prince of Yuzhang County, served as the chief and deputy envoys of Wude Division respectively. More than 5,000 elite soldiers and horses under the chief and deputy command were stationed in the city as a bodyguard to personally protect the king of Tan, Yang Yuanpu.
Time was so short that the county government office and nearby houses were simply tidied up and used as a temporary palace for Yang Yuanpu to settle in Fanchang.
After meeting the King of Tan Yang Yuanpu, most of the generals still had to return to their respective fortresses to carry out their duties. The only ones who could really stay in Fanchang City to discuss major strategies were Han Qian, Li Pu, Gu Zhilong,
Zhang Ping, Wu Zun, Chen Fan, Han Daochang and a few others.
After Yang Yuanpu and others were tired of traveling and having a hasty dinner, they took a rest and left the formal discussion to the afternoon of the next day.
Of course, it is not excluded that before convening a formal meeting, Yang Yuanpu will also find Li Pu, Zhang Ping, Yuan Guowei and others to further understand the details of Jiangnan East Road.
Han Qian also temporarily lived in a courtyard to the east of the palace. The bodyguards, led by Kong Xirong, were stationed in the camp outside the city, with only Xi Rong, Feng Liao, Feng Yi, Guo Que and dozens of people accompanying him.
The guards live in the city.
It was snowing lightly at night. Feng Liao, Feng Yi, Guo Que and other guards were living in the outer house. Han Qian walked into the inner house and stood in front of the courtyard door looking at the falling snowflakes. He saw Wang Jun coming from the corridor to look at her.
He seemed to be standing in the yard just now, looking up at the snow, and said: "If the war could have been ended years ago, fewer people would have died; otherwise, it would be cold and icy, coupled with next year's spring famine, no matter how good the relief was in the city and outside,
A group of people will eventually starve to death and freeze to death."
Wang Jun said: "It would be great if we could do that, but it's not easy to surrender to Yangjian, right?"
The Lou Chuan Army has large warships. Although the five-story Lou Chuan, which is seven or eight feet high from the river, seems a bit clumsy, with Jinling City at its back, it is difficult for the Navy of the Five Tooth Army to compete with them on the main stream of the Yangtze River north of Jinling City.
, it is difficult to cut off the connection between Jinling City and Chuzhou, Chaozhou and even Shouzhou in the north.
Under such circumstances, Anning Palace still has more than 70,000 horse infantry to retreat to Jinling City, and the morale of the army will not be too bad. If Yueyang really has to bite the bullet and attack by force, how much will it cost to be able to catch up with him years ago?
Capture Jinling City?
And the war has reached this point, and the situation in Dachu has been restored to Yueyang. At this time, you are still attacking with brutal force, without caring about the lives of the generals. What is the difference between you and a reckless man?
The best choice is to be able to surrender Yang Jian. Even if you can't surrender Yang Jian, you should still use your political skills to disrupt the situation in Jinling City as much as possible, disrupt the morale of the defenders, and divide and win over the enemy.
, to divide and win over the civil and military generals in the city.
After all, after conquering Jinling City, Dachu still had a lot of mess to clean up.
Han Qian was willing to talk to Wang Jun about these things when he had time, and he could also get some inspiration from Wang Jun's few words, but he was not in the mood today, so he went into the back room with the fire on to talk to the two girls.
"It's you who taught King Tan the power and trickery. Isn't it hard to use it on you today?" Xi Rong took off the brocade mantle that shielded the wind and snow and said, "Look at it, Miss Wang will tell us the story.
If you go to the state, you can go to Prince Tan as much as you want!"
"Nonsense!" Han Qian glared at Xi Rong to stop her from talking nonsense.
This time he came to Fanchang and brought Wang Jun with him, in order to formally hand her over as a prisoner to Yang Yuanpu's people. However, Xi Rong was really angry today and did not want to treat Wang Jun as a prisoner with Chu State in the future.
Hand over the bargaining chips for state negotiations.
It's just that Han Qian can't forget the death of his father. Wang Wenqian was the instigator. Wang Jixiong died of illness in Xuzhou. He didn't agree to carve out a cemetery in Xuzhou. Unless Wang Jun was imprisoned for the rest of his life, he would take Wang Jun with him.
What to do when you return to Xuzhou?
Wang Jun lowered his head and looked at the slightly wet shoe uppers from the snow. When she heard Xi Yin's willful words, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes and then dimmed, as deep and clear as a deep spring in the middle of the night.
"You go and have a rest. When Zhang Ping returns to His Highness, he will find an opportunity to talk about you. He may send you there tomorrow," Han Qian waved his hand and said, "Even if your father works for King Xin, but
Your grandfather is a famous Prime Minister of Chu, so His Highness should not give you any trouble."
"Yes." Wang Jun responded softly and backed out.
Xi Rong looked at the stove burning in the room and opened the window to allow air to circulate.
The conditions in Fanchang City were poor, the charcoal stove was not connected to the outdoor flue, and closed doors and windows were prone to charcoal poisoning. This was already known to a small number of people at that time.
Xi Rong went out to find a pottery pot, filled it with water, put it on the stove and burned it. After working for a while, when she stood next to Han Qian, she saw Minato scratching his head in front of the stove writing a dictionary, and asked: "What are you doing this time?"
Are we really going to reinstate the military envoys in Guangde and resign the commanders and envoys of the Zuoguangde Army?"
"I've been vaccinated a long time ago. I can't possibly pull back at the last minute, right?" Han Qian said.
"Yes, the Du family met Qiniang after entering the city and talked to his sister for a while. When you greeted King Tan outside the city, Princess Qingyang smiled and guessed to her that you were discussing the replacement of Guang.
Regarding the establishment of German military envoys," Xi Rong said, "What does Princess Qingyang mean when she says this to Du Qiniang? Is King Tan afraid that you won't understand what he means, or is Princess Qingyang arbitrarily asserting that he wants to tell Du Qiniang?
Did you leak the news?"
"Why are there so many guesses?" Han Qian smiled, and Xi ran up to him and said, "Help me think about how to write this glossary so that it appears that I mean what I say - the main thing is that I am easy to use.
Powerful and dangerous tactics can only lead to temporary victory. Without a majestic formation or an emperor's army, if you lead the army for a long time, your general will be impetuous, or if you encounter a strong enemy in a strong city, you will suffer great harm. I deeply feel this, and my heart
I was so frightened that I didn't dare to fight against a powerful enemy again for the past month. I was too exhausted to rest and worry about it. I couldn't eat well or sleep well. I asked Your Highness to appoint another talented person. When the Golden Palace is besieged, I can stay behind Your Highness to make plans and do my best.
, it comforts my heart—everyone should like to hear these words!”

Zhang Ping was the supervisor of the Guangde Army, but when he returned to Tan Wang Yang Yuanpu, he still had to assume the responsibilities of Wangfu Cheng.
More than a hundred people accompanying the palace attendants from Changxin Palace and Chengyun Palace settled down first, and made arrangements to serve His Highness and Princess Qingyang as well as the guards inside the palace. After seeing off the night banquet, Li Pu went to the back house to meet His Highness Weng and his son-in-law.
, Zhang Ping and Jiang Huo braved the light snow to visit various military camps, city gate towers and other defense points in the city.
The matter of imprisoning the guards in the palace was transferred from the tent house to the jurisdiction of the Wude Department, and Chen De and Yang Fan were responsible for it. However, Zhang Ping and Jiang Huo, as the close servants around King Tan Yang Yuanpu, still had to control the guard duty and many other things.
Details, so that omissions can be detected and gaps can be filled, so that no evil person can take advantage of them.
After this busy period, the night has darkened, the snow has stopped, and the wet ground has been blown by the cold wind and frozen solid.
Passing through the quiet handwriting corridor, I saw that the lights in His Highness's room were still bright. Judging from the silhouette of the figure shining on the window, it seemed that His Highness was still reviewing his watches and seals under the lamp. Princess Qingyang stood aside, and Zhang Ping motioned to stand slightly to the left and right.
From a distance, he lowered his voice and asked Jiang Huo: "Does Your Highness really want to keep Master Han by your side this time?"
Although it means the same thing to keep Han Qian at his side and to replace Han Qian with someone else to preside over the military establishment of Guangde and establish the ambassador's office, the way it is expressed is a little nicer.
The former seems to show that His Highness has more trust and reliance on Han Qian, which is what His Highness wants to show to the civil and military officers and the people of the world when he enters the city today; the latter is somewhat heartbreaking.
No matter how stupid Zhang Ping is, he will not directly ask the latter meaning directly.
Jiang Huo said: "The capture of Chizhou resulted in a lot of casualties. Even if you want to come to Jinling, it will be a tough nut to crack. And even if you successfully capture Jinling City and then retreat to Shouzhou, Chuzhou will still be a big trouble. In addition to Lord Han, there are also
There are not many people who can clearly see this complicated situation for Your Highness, right?"
Jiang Huo and Zhang Ping have worked together for more than three years since they joined the Linjiang County Prince's Palace. However, no matter how close they were in the past, when King Tan is about to succeed to the throne, they will reach their respective peaks, even if
No matter how open-minded you are, no matter what you say, you can only stop talking.
Of course, Jiang Huo's words also made it clear.
Han Qian made great achievements, but he was good at seizing military power. He only informed Feng Yi afterwards, and even had the intention of forcing Yue Yang to approve. No matter who it was, it was impossible for him to be totally free of grudges.
Although the plan was based on the same tactics as Gu Zhilong's, they later said that they had planned the plan with Han Wenhuan, Han Daochang and others beforehand, but there can be no airtight wall in the world - such a plan was too vicious and ruthless, and it would not have been possible for anyone else.
No opinion at all.
Of course, His Highness did not inflate himself just because the war situation was going smoothly, mistakenly believing that the situation was under his control. Even if he succeeded to the throne, there would be a lot of internal and external troubles, and he still needed a "Han" who could really make decisions for him.
division".
Since ancient times, it has been said that "the king is the guide for his ministers" and "the rules of etiquette, justice and loyalty between the king and his ministers". The status of the king and his ministers has long been determined. Jiang Huo felt that King Tan who was about to ascend the throne might be a little more eager, but left Han Qian
There is nothing excessive about planning things around you and entrusting others to take charge of the military establishment of Guangde and the establishment of the ambassador's office.
Regardless of whether Han Qian had the intention of retreating in order to make progress, as long as this matter can pass smoothly, Jiang Huo believes that the hidden twists and turns will soon be calmed down...
"Yes." Zhang Ping nodded and said, but looking at the shadows of the trees in the courtyard, as if there were countless demons and ghosts hiding in the dark, he sighed secretly, and walked around the corridor with Jiang Huo to the window to greet him.
After a while, he retreated to the class courtyard next door to keep watch.
"Zhang Ping, Jiang Huo, are you outside?" Yang Yuanpu asked through the window.
"It's the two Wei Chens." Zhang Ping and Jiang Huo said.
