Looking at Xi Yong under the lamp, her face as pink as a flower, Han Qian untied his gown and explained the reason why he didn't return to his base until late at night:
"In addition to meeting Han Donghu today, I also met Xue Ruogu, so I wasted some time."
Xi Rong asked doubtfully: "When you see Xue Ruogu now, is it possible that he will investigate the assassination case again?"
"We just stood by the official road and watched him pass by without standing up to recognize him. Of course, Xue Ruogu himself also realized that his transfer to Lishui was far from being as simple as it seemed." Han Qian said.
"Shen Yang has always wanted to use Xue Ruogu to ease the situation in Guangde Mansion. Xue Ruogu naturally has a very in-depth understanding of the assassination of Shang Wensheng - others may not think it is anything. If he is not suspicious at all, he is too slow. "Yeah," Xi Rong said. At this time, she heard Han Qian's belly growl twice. She smiled and pinched his belly through his clothes, and asked, "You didn't stop to eat some solid food to satisfy your hunger?"
"I just wanted to get into Maoshan as soon as possible. I'm afraid my hiding place will be exposed, so I won't be able to eat anything," Han Qian said.
"I'll go out and see if I can bring you something to eat." Xi Yingti slipped up her skirt, went out to get some dried meat, cooked a bowl of broth, heated two wheat cakes, and brought them into the house to satisfy Han Qian's hunger. .
On the one hand, they have just entered Maoshan and settled down. On the other hand, there may be medicine farmers and hunters coming in. They must hide their whereabouts as much as possible to avoid attracting the attention of the government.
The accommodation and food conditions were quite rudimentary; even the weeds inside and outside the villa could not be pulled out, and the rooms were covered with military tents for sleeping.
Han Qian tore up the wheat cakes and ate the broth to satisfy his hunger. He also told Xi Rong that Han Donghu, Su Lie and other escaped slaves had been secretly colluding with the old soldiers of the Guangde Army to plot an uprising. He frowned and said: "The situation here is more complicated than imagined. I still have to find a way to see Wang Wenqian."
"Isn't it too risky?" Xi Rong asked worriedly, "Although the Forbidden Army captured Chao and Chuzhou, Huaidong first faced pressure to withdraw from the vassal, but Wang Wenqian was too calculating, and Wang Wenqian This person is somewhat headstrong. Chuzhou's previous ambition to plot Jinling was thwarted in your hands. If King Xin and the generals of Huaidong still hold grudges, you may not be without risk when you go to Yangzhou to see Wang Wenqian. And Huaidong is also It may not be tolerated that the insurgents involved in Xuzhou have their backs to Yangzhou and are based on the sand islands in the Yangtze River."
Logically speaking, Huaidong and Xuzhou secretly joined forces to weaken the pressure Huaidong would face. However, when Han Qian went there in person, Xi Rong was still worried that the risk would be too great.
In Xi Rong's view, comparatively speaking, it would be the safest to have Feng Liao or others cross the river to make contact.
Han Qian said: "So we have to go back quickly to catch Wang Wenqian off guard and not give them enough time to react."
Han Qian naturally considered the risks involved, but many things did require him to show up personally in order to be better solved.
Just like this time about Han Donghu colluding with old soldiers of the Guangde Army, Han Donghu did not tell the truth twice when he met Feng Liao. If he hadn't come here in person this time, the incident would have really caught everyone off guard.
"I think you want to meet someone." Xi Rong glanced at Han Qian and said.
"I've been through life and death, and this is what happened when I fell into your mouth?" Han Qian said angrily.
"I didn't say anything. I just felt that someone escaped back to Xuzhou for you and suffered so much grievance. I don't know how many people will make irresponsible remarks after returning to Yangzhou. You can meet me in Yangzhou this time."
There's nothing wrong with that - I won't talk nonsense when I go back." Xi Rong pursed her lips and smiled.
"You are the only one who has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth." Han Qian grabbed Xi Rong's slender hand and looked at her beautiful face under the lamp. Her beautiful eyes were as deep as the stars in the night sky. He hugged her slender hand.
But with a waist that is full of extreme elasticity, he said, "I used to be very disdainful of my father's kind of womanly kindness. But it's really my turn. Making a decision may directly lead to the life or death of hundreds of people.
Only then did I realize that this feeling was not pleasant. Under the counterattack of the aristocratic family, hundreds of old soldiers of the Guangde Army and their families were persecuted, and more than 10,000 people had their fields and homes taken away, as if a raging fire was burning inside a volcano.
It's about to erupt, and once it breaks out, I don't know how many people will be involved. Han Donghu alone can't stop anything. Not to mention how much turmoil this matter will cause, the lives and deaths of so many people are at stake, and I can't just sit back and do nothing.
…”
"Go and see Wang Wenqian. Even if Huaidong can tolerate them entering the Yangtze River, whether they can enter the Yangtze River is still a question - and after entering the Yangtze River, if they block the salt channel, it will also prompt the Wuya Army to attack. These things
It won't be under your control." Xi Rong asked Han Qian to distract himself and concentrate on thinking about the many details, so she sat on Han Qian's lap without resistance and discussed the matter with him.
When Xi Rong followed Han Qian, although she was famous in Xuzhou, she was actually only eighteen years old at that time.
She followed Han Qian for four or five years. Although it was hard to find a job, she no longer had to sink in the dark tragedy of the past. Her beautiful face had more innocence that a girl should have, and her heart became more and more attractive.
Not to mention the temptation brought by her mature and plump body through the thin skirt.
Xi Rong thought about the problem seriously. She didn't see Han Qian's response for a long time. She lowered her head and saw that Han Qian's hand had slipped from her waist to her leg. She reached out and pinched the back of his hand hard, then stood up and stopped.
Give Han Qian the opportunity to be indecent.
"You've been tired this day, just sit and talk." Han Qian pressed his hand on her waist seriously, not telling her to go away.
"Then you should speak politely and chop it off if you move your hands erratically." Xi Rong glanced at Han Qian with her beautiful eyes and said.
Han Qian withdrew his charming thoughts and put his face on Xi Lin's soft shoulder. While thinking, he said: "I am also worried that there are too many issues involved and are too complicated. Maybe I will call Feng Liao, Kong Xirong and the others tomorrow to think about it together.
Is there any way to remedy this?”
After Zuo Guangde's army was disbanded, some of the former generals and their families moved to Xuzhou with them to settle down. Some of them were dispersed as soldiers of the Forbidden Army and were incorporated into the military camps in various places. They were almost integrated into the various Forbidden Army units. At most, they stayed in Guangzhou.
Those placed in the De Mansion are mainly generals and their families who have made military exploits or were injured or disabled in the early stage, or those who died on the battlefield.
This group of people are qualified as grassroots generals and military attaches, but they lack the ability to conduct overall planning.
If they start an uprising directly in Guangde Mansion, they may be able to do it in a lively and vigorous manner in the early stage, but if they want to hide it from the eyes and ears of the government and the Jinyun Division, they must first quietly transfer and evacuate some of the children, and they must also secretly evacuate them.
It would be much more difficult to organize a small group of people first and form an elite, and then immediately after the uprising, move everyone through the waters of Taihu Lake and into the Yangtze River to settle down.
During this process, once the news leaks out, or someone becomes unable to restrain himself and conflicts with the local government, or is infiltrated by the eyes and ears of the Jinyun Division and the noble family, the Five Tooth Army Navy only needs to mobilize a small number of elite warships.
It was possible to seal off several waterways in and out of Taihu Lake and the Yangtze River, and then besiege these troops in the area where the Chu army and the clan clans had the strongest power for clearing and suppressing.
It is far from enough for Han Donghu to take charge of the overall situation.
This was fully proved when the slaves in Sizhou revolted. Tan Yuliang and his nephew, and Diao Xiazi and dozens of Xuzhou scouts and military attachés secretly helped each other. In the end, they were unable to resolve some very fundamental issues and strategic choices.
, influencing the overall will of the rebel army.
Han Donghu may not even be able to convince all the leaders who decided to participate in the uprising to lead their troops to leave the Guangde Army and withdraw into the Yangtze River.
If this is the case, even if he goes to Yangzhou and successfully persuades Wang Wenqian to agree to secretly allow the rebels to establish a foothold on Jiangxinsha Island south of Yangzhou, it will be meaningless!
"You always think about taking Xuzhou out, thinking about preserving the reputation of you and the boss, but you are always tied up and unable to do anything." Xi Rong turned her head and looked at Han Qian seriously and said, "You act like a harmless and loyal person again.
It seems that neither the left nor the right can avoid the suspicion of Yang Yuanpu and the princes of the court. According to me, instead of trying every possible way to clear up the suspicion, it is better to simply make them jealous of you, afraid of you, and not dare to do anything to Xuzhou.
good!"
"Yes, looking forward and backward only makes you uncomfortable, and now the space to move around is getting smaller and smaller," Han Qian also said with deep emotion, "This is a matter of wanting to build a memorial arch and being a bitch at the same time.
, and it is indeed difficult to do - according to you, I might as well just ask Han Donghu to use Xuzhou's name and let him go."
After saying this, Han Qian wrapped his hands around Xi Rong's slender waist and put his face against her swollen breasts.
"You bastard, I didn't tell you to let go like this." Xi Rong put her elbow on Han Qian's chest and pushed him away, staring at Han Qian angrily like a tigress and said.
Han Qian smiled and was about to continue teasing Xi Rong. He heard a few coughs coming from the yard and had to let go of Xi Rong and asked, "Is it Feng Liao?"
"It's me," Feng Liao called back in the yard. Perhaps he saw Han Qian and Xi Rong separate from the reflection in the window, and then he pushed the door open and walked in with Guo Rong, Kong Xirong, Feng Yi, Dou Rong and others, and said,
"We were eating just now and thinking about it. We are really worried that Han Donghu may not be able to smooth things over... We had secretly given Tan Yuliang so much support before, and the Sizhou incident was almost out of our control.
, in the end we had to make peace with Yuzhou to bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion."
That's where the difficulty of the matter lies. No wonder Feng Liao and Han Qian coincide with each other.
Han Qian sighed lightly and said: "The Sizhou incident cannot be said to be a complete success in the end. After all, the casualties of the rebels were too heavy."
Seeing that Han Qian could reflect on what he said, Feng Liao's eyes lit up expectantly: "How do you plan to deal with it this time?"
"You and Dou Rong will send money and food on behalf of Xuzhou. You can meet with the main leaders of the rebellion to understand the specific situation first..." Han Qian said.
"Okay!" Although the specific method of intervention will be decided after more detailed information is learned, but compared with the previous attempt to avoid suspicion, Han Qian's decision at this time means that Xuzhou will have to
His attitude had fundamentally changed. Feng Liao was also extremely excited and said, "I will set off at dawn, but to prevent my whereabouts from being exposed, you can go to Baohua Mountain first after dawn. After I met Han Donghu, I went to meet you.
.”
"No rush, I will stay in Maoshan for a few more days. If anyone insists on seeing me, I can invite them to Maoshan to meet me." Han Qian said.
