Chapter 491 Night

"Is the old man still well in Jinling?"

First, An Xiang, Fu Gengwen, Yang Hu and others were sent to the post house to rest, but Han Qian left Han Chengmeng in the mansion to talk.

In any case, Han Qian and Han Chengmeng are cousins. It was originally announced that Han Qian, the old man, Han Daochang, and Han Jun conspired to make money from Gu Zhilong, showing that the Han family was close. Now Han Qian left Han Chengmeng alone to talk about family matters.

, Anji Xiang, Fu Gengwen and others cannot say half of it is not true.

"The old man is still in good health, but he doesn't go out of the house much anymore. There are only a few old men like Fu Mo in Jinling City, who can tell people something..."

When Han Chengmeng talked about the old man Han Wenhuan, in addition to his physical condition, he also hinted at the potential impact of Shang Wensheng's assassination on the Han government.

Han Qian frowned slightly.

Since the Xuanshe Jiedu Envoy Office was established in the Xuanshe Prefecture in the previous dynasty, the aristocratic clans in the two prefectures have formed intricate connections over the course of more than a hundred years. The old man could have been said to be one of the representatives of the Xuanshe aristocratic family, but in fact

Shang was inevitably affected by the slave recruitment and subsequent series of events, and was isolated by the Xuanshe family.

Seeing that Han Qian was silent and silent, Han Chengmeng quickly explained the reason why he came to Xuzhou this time:

"After His Majesty ascended the throne, most of the officials from the former Hunan Province were appointed to serve in the Six Ministries. The old man said that the trees in Beijing were quiet but the wind was not stopping. During this period, I have been idle in Jinling and did not work in the Six Ministries.

, I was thinking of getting a job abroad, but I didn’t expect that His Majesty suddenly decided to activate the Ministry of Education, so I was sent here - but Wei Yan stayed in Shaozhou without any change."

"Oh, you can't help it." Han Qian nodded and said.

He was previously curious about why Han Chengmeng came over, but he didn't ask in detail in front of Anji Xiang and others.

When I asked about it at this time, I didn't expect that it was Han Chengmeng who had been delaying the mission and not planning to go anywhere. When the Hunan Province of Xingshu was reactivated, his official title was still in the Province of Xingshu, so he was directly involved again, which can be regarded as

Unexpected disaster.

Han Qian pondered the meaning of Han Chengmeng's words and secretly felt that the old man was still wary of the current turbulent undercurrent in Jinling.

Otherwise, if Qiao Weiyan and Han Chengmeng stayed in the Sixth Ministry, they would be better than if they were sent to the prefectures and counties.

Compared with later generations, not to mention those remote states and counties or states and counties that were on the verge of enemy territory and in danger. Even the relatively prosperous counties in southern Zhejiang, western Zhejiang, and Jiangxi had sewage flowing across the ground and piles of flies.

When it comes to epidemics, everyone is at risk.

Although Chenzhong is a small city, its city management in all aspects can be said to be at the top level in the world.

Unless you regard Jinling as a place of right and wrong, otherwise, it would be a more appropriate choice to stay in the Sixth Academy Department.

Of course, Han Qian could also understand what Han Chengmeng said when he said that only he and Qiao Weiyan wanted to leave Jinling.

In his generation of the Han family, apart from him and Han Jun, Han Duan is considered the eldest son of the third wife, there are eight other concubines, legitimate sons-in-law, and concubine-sons-in-law, not to mention distant cousins ​​and other Koreans who are more closely related by blood.

Clan people.

Obviously, no matter how worried the old man is, not everyone can truly realize the crisis that the Han family faces in the current prosperous world.

This is because everyone has his or her own ambitions.

Han Qian has never thought about taking the responsibility of the clan on himself. In fact, he has always been a betrayer of the Han clan, at least

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

At this time, he had nothing special to say to Han Chengmeng and Qiao Weiyan who worked in Shaozhou.

At this time Guo Rongtong came in.

Seeing Guo Rong's dusty appearance, Han Chengmeng didn't know where he was coming from, so he quickly stood up to greet him, and curiously looked at this person who had many entanglements with Anning Palace, but finally surrendered to Han Qian's command.

It is precisely because of this that many people in Beijing believe that just because Tan Yuliang has confronted Han Qian before, they cannot conclude that the riots led by Tan Yuliang in Sizhou are not related to Xuzhou.

In short, whether the civil unrest in Sizhou is related to Xuzhou or not, we are at a stage where the public is justified and the mother-in-law is justified.

"Young Master Han came to Xuzhou this time, and he traveled thousands of miles away..." Guo Rong saluted Han Chengmeng and bowed his hands.

He had never met Han Chengmeng before, but he just heard from the guards outside that Han Qian had left Han Chengmeng, Feng Yi, Gao Shao and others to talk in the hall.

In the early days of the vassal reduction war, Han Chengmeng, Han Jianji, and Qiao Weiyan came to serve under the third prince Yang Yuanpu, representing the Han family and completely surrendering to the third prince. However, they had not come to Xuzhou before, and this was their first time.

Of course, there was some sarcasm in Guo Rong's words. He was saying that Jinling's intention to re-activate Hunan province to suppress Xuzhou was too obvious, and the Han family also forced its way in.

Han Qian smiled and explained to Guo Rong the reason why Han Chengmeng came here.

Guo Rong was slightly startled and apologized for his reckless words just now.

Seeing that Guo Rong didn't speak anymore, Han Chengmeng also knew that it was time for him to leave. He stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back to the posthouse to rest first so as not to disturb your discussions. Oh, by the way, I mentioned it several times along the way.

Regarding the affairs of Guangde Mansion, I heard Fu Gengwen’s words more or less involuntarily complaining..."

Han Qian nodded noncommittally and sent Han Chengmeng out of the yard before returning to the house with Guo Rong and Feng Yi.

"Han Chengmeng is different from the other nephews and nephews of the Han family." Guo Rong had no contact with other juniors of the Han family, but the meaning of reminder in Han Chengmeng's words just now was obvious.

"With Fu Gengwen's attitude, can he do his job?" Feng Yi asked.

"Fu Gengwen has learned to be very cunning at a young age. Just make sure that he doesn't cause us any trouble." Han Qian said, Fu Gengwen has work to do, but he can't put too much energy into it.

"The imperial court's reactivation of the province of Hunan is not necessarily a bad thing for Xuzhou." Guo Rong said.

"That's what I say, but Yuzhou is unlikely to take any action within three to five days, and we can only delay the Chenzhou camp for three to five days. This matter is still troublesome!" Gao Shao said with a frown.

Hunan Province was reactivated. After Huang Hua and others took office, they would tighten their control over Xuzhou.

If anything happens in Xuzhou, Hunan Province can respond as quickly as possible. Unlike in the past, the surrounding states would have all kinds of concerns and had no subordinate relationship with each other. They had to send someone to ask the imperial court for instructions before they could deal with it.

However, having said that, Xuzhou had no dissent in the first place. As long as Huang Hua and others did not have the sinister intention of exacerbating the conflict, reactivating the province of Hunan would actually add a layer of buffer between Xuzhou and the Great Chu Court.

Apart from this, the biggest difficulty at present is that even if they delay the Chenzhou camp for another three to five days before entering Sizhou territory, it will not solve their urgent need.

The speed of things happening in Yuzhou cannot be so fast.

This is also the biggest problem that communication in today’s world remains unchanged, especially in Xuzhou, which is blocked by mountains and rivers.

Even if Yuzhou has already caused trouble in Wuchuan County,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

When the news comes back, it will be at least five or six days later.

"What's the latest news from Panlong Ridge?" Han Qian asked Gao Shao.

"Yang Xingfeng wanted to attack Hongli Village yesterday, but Tan Yuliang's son Tan Cheng stopped him with a fire attack. Nearly twenty people were killed and injured, and the state soldiers withdrew back to the foot of the mountain..." Gao Shao said.

Through Diao Xiazi and others, Xuzhou can think of all the tactics that the rebels can think of according to local conditions.

However, the problem is that the Sizhou soldiers have been greatly tempered when they attacked the Wuliao Fanzhai for more than a year. The rebel army's tactical innovation, or the use of strategies adapted to local conditions, has only temporarily stopped the Sizhou soldiers.

At the foot of the mountain, they failed to seriously injure Sizhou soldiers.

Another problem is that the rebels gathered all the women and children into a few core villages. Tan Yuliang failed to persuade Dong Tai, Zhang Guangdeng, Lang Sandao and other generals of the rebel army to agree to evacuate the women and children deeper into Panlong Ridge.

Han Qian hoped that the rebel army would organize hundreds of elite combat forces to break out of the encirclement of Sizhou soldiers to fight guerrillas and continue to expand their influence on the periphery. The tactics and strategic vision could not be realized.

Tan Yuliang is currently the leader of the rebel army, but the generals of the rebel army generally oppose the separation of women and children, and are unfamiliar with guerrilla tactics. This means that Tan Yuliang cannot act arbitrarily.

According to the current mentality of the rebel army, they mainly want to occupy a few core villages that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and fight offensive and defensive battles with the encirclement and suppression troops.

Of course, this is also the influence and continuation of traditional tactical thinking.

In fact, even if the Sizhou soldiers are not elite enough, there is still a big problem.

More than 20,000 old, weak, women and children of the rebel army were trapped in Panlong Ridge. With so many people eating, drinking and eating, they could survive for a month or two. After three to five months of siege, the outer encirclement became tighter and tighter. The relationship between the rebel army and the outside world

Contact has been completely cut off. How to ensure the subsequent supply of supplies?

Xuzhou cannot directly control the rebel army, and through Tan Yuliang, Diao Xiazi's influence on the rebel army is also limited. There is no condition to conduct universal tactical and command training for the rebel generals, and the battalion system has not been straightened out. The situation

It's somewhat of a dilemma.

Han Qian stood in front of the case, pondered for a while, then spread out the paper and ink to draft an order with a solemn expression, handed it to Gao Shao and said: "Transfer the second step battalion, the third step battalion and the garrison rock in Longya City, Linjiang County.

The second water camp of Jizhai will arrive at Chenzhong before noon tomorrow to accept the deployment!"

In order to control military expenditures, the state camp organized a total of seven battalions of horse cavalry and naval forces, each with 400 soldiers.

In addition to the cavalry battalion that also served as bodyguards and was stationed in Chenzhong before, only the eight hundred village slave soldiers who were assembled half a month ago and trained by Xi Faer, Han Bao and others were stationed in the North City Military Camp of Longya Mountain in the south -

—A battalion of navy troops previously stationed in Chenzhong was also transferred by Han Qian to Yanji Village between Qianyang and Chenyang a month ago.

Now Han Qian has transferred the two infantry battalions stationed in Longya City and Linjiang County in the south, as well as the second water battalion that was previously transferred to Yanji Village. The number of soldiers in Chenzhong County will increase to 1,600.

, plus 800 village slave soldiers who have just been formed and can join the team but have not yet been issued weapons.

"Force it?" Feng Yi asked.

"Chenzhou is on guard against Xuzhou. At this time, a thousand elite soldiers from Chenzhou's camp are entering. What's wrong with Xuzhou being on guard against them?" Han Qian said, "Go see Fu Gengwen and Yang Hu tomorrow morning.

Xishe Peng said that I would personally command two thousand soldiers and horses to escort them across the border to Hujian Pass. I also asked Anji Xiang to accompany them and enjoy the scenery on both sides of Chenshui. Tonight, you will distribute the weapons to the Zhainu soldiers.
