Han Qian signed the order that night and left Feng Yi to have a drink in his tent. Early the next morning, he asked him to rush to East Lake to dispatch a navy to Xuzhou; after the Anfeng Canal weir and embankment were destroyed, the Tangyi navy There is currently no waterway to engage Zuolou's naval forces, so they are idle. Breaking into Chenzhou from the lower reaches can also force Xiying and his son to divide their troops to guard Chenyang, Ruanling and other cities. Why not do it.
However, Feng Yi rushed to East Lake with a warrant and spent a day with Lin Zongjing to assemble two battalions of elite navy troops. However, before they could leave Chaohu Lake and enter the Yangtze River from the mouth of Yuxi River, he was reluctantly pulled away by Shen Yang and Yushi Zhongcheng Zheng Chang. Han Daoming was intercepted by the official ship of the Weaving Bureau.
The Weaving Bureau only has one official ship, which is no more than six feet long from end to end. Since it cannot master the weaving method and special fabrics of Xuzhou cloth sails, it can only use rigid mat sails. At this moment, it is lying across the mouth of Yuxi River, but it is blocking dozens of Tangyi ships. The navy warship is on its way, and Han Qian is asked to come over and have a conversation.
Neither Feng Yi nor Lin Jinghai, even if they did not consider that their uncle Han Daoming was on board, did not dare to launch an attack without permission and rudely ram away the official ship of the Weaving Bureau carrying Shen Yang and Zheng Chang.
Feng Yi, Lin Jinghai and others were forced to lead the navy back to the East Lake Navy Camp, and sent Shen Yang, Zheng Chang, Han Daoming, Yao Xishui on behalf of Cishou Palace, Cao Xiushi, the governor of Chen, Zhou Qinian on behalf of Hunan Xuanhua Envoy Huang Hua, etc. Please come and stay at the inn in East Lake City.
Han Qian delayed for two days before handing over all military and political matters in Shoudong to Lin Haizheng, Zhao Qi, Xi Fa'er and others. He, Guo Rong, Feng Liao and other staff returned to East Lake surrounded by hundreds of guards and cavalry.
After returning to East Lake, Han Qian would not rush to the post house to meet Shen Yang, Zheng Chang and others.
He went back to the inner house first to relieve his sore muscles and bones from the fast horse racing. Feng Yi pulled Wang Zhe over first and shouted his injustice: "Yao Xishui, this woman is really willing to go to the trouble. She doesn't know how to wipe her butt, so she is willing to go to beg for help." Prime Minister Shen, Zheng Chang came forward - it's all your fault that you forced me to drink in Shoudong and delayed me all night, otherwise we would have gone west before they came over, how could it be such a troublesome thing?"
"No matter how powerful Shen Yang is, they are just a broken ship. Considering human feelings, they can't just knock it over and squeeze it away?" Han Qian said angrily.
"We really want to break up? That's not true, right? Besides, if we squeeze them away, Huang Hua will definitely try every possible means to prevent us from passing through at the mouth of Dongting Lake or Ruanjiang River." Feng Yi asked.
"They are blocking the road. If you push them away, it's called a fight? Don't you know that our warship has more conversation on its way back to Xuzhou?" Han Qian said.
"This is indeed the truth, but when I saw the old man Shen Yang, I felt dissatisfied. Maybe he had been scolded too much in Linjiang Marquis Mansion, so I advised Lin Zongjing to retreat first - it's all up to me." Feng Yi was frustrated. said.
"Then take the people to tidy up the hall in the front yard, and then go and invite them over with Mr. Guo and Mr. Yuan." Han Qian said, leaving the reception and other matters to Feng Yi, Guo Rong, and the military supervisors who have been serving as supervisors. Yuan Guowei, who stayed in East Lake and was responsible for the rewards and punishments of military merits, called Wang Zhe to ask about the latest developments in Jinling Jingzhong.
Although Han Daoming was also dragged over by Shen Yang and Zheng Chang, in order to show public and private distinction, he was also with Shen Yang and Zheng Chang at the moment and did not come alone to see Han Qian. However, Wang Che had previously gone to Jinling to deliver a memorial and convey According to the news, this time he was following Han Daoming on the official ship of the Weaving Bureau back to East Lake. He had some knowledge of the movements in Jinling City during the past two days.
Feng Yi lazily went to the front hall to clean up first. Yuan Guowei, as the military supervisor and nominally the special envoy of Emperor Yanyou, stayed in the post house to accompany Shen Yang, Zheng Chang and the others for the past two days. Feng Liao was here. , Guo Rong, Gao Shao, Xi Rong, the guards and cavalry troops Yuhou Zhao Wuji, Tangyi navy commander Yang Qin, and Wang Jun who rushed back from Liyang City to meet Han Qian after hearing the news.
Wang Che then talked about his situation in Jinling City these days: "The boss and Han Shangshu wanted to know the detailed situation of Heshuo, so they kept me in the house for the past two days. The memorial was handed over to the court. I didn’t see a response, and there was no discussion. Maybe the memorial was only visible to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and other ministers participating in the political affairs. I thought that the lack of response could be regarded as a reaction. I originally planned to go to Taiwan Province in the next two days to inquire about the news. Then he came back, but he didn't expect that at night before yesterday, Prime Minister Shen and the censor Zhongcheng, Mr. Zheng, brought Cao Xiushi, the governor of Chen, and Mr. Zhou, a guest of Mr. Huang, the Hunan Xuanwei envoy, to come to the door to ask the old man to come forward to calm Chen Xu's two days. State dispute - Lord Shangshu was worried about the old lady's old age, so he rushed here on his behalf. When he left Donghua Gate, the weaving envoy followed the Queen Mother's instructions and caught up with him..."
Wang Che spoke more logically than Feng Yi. At least on the surface, it was Cao Xiushi, the governor of Chen, who dragged Zhou Qinian to find Shen Yang. Zheng Chang and even Zheng Yu and others complained, whether it was Shen Yang, Zheng, or they didn't show up. Shou Wang Yang Zhitang and others obviously would not sit back and watch Tangyi take this opportunity to send troops to annex Chenzhou. They could only pull Han Wenhuan or Han Daoming out and forcibly block it.
Of course, what Feng Yi said was correct. It looked like Cao Xiushi and Zhou Qinian came forward in this matter, but it must have been Yao Xishui who realized that he had fallen into a trap and was unable to struggle, so he fled back to Jinling in a hurry.
Feng Liao frowned and said in deep thought: "Your Majesty did not issue the decree and pretended not to know about it. Prime Minister Shen came forward to dissuade him. But Yao Xishui or Lu Qingxia still couldn't pretend not to know about it, so he still had to bite the bullet and say yes. I came here following the Queen Mother's instructions, probably because I was afraid that Prime Minister Shen and us would join forces to sell them out, right? Of course, even Prime Minister Shen and Mr. Zheng may not know Yao Xishui's intention to stir up trouble, but Chen Governor Shi Caoxiu Shi came here on behalf of the Xi family. If he wanted to avoid disaster and save the Xi family, he would definitely tell Shen Yang, the Zheng family and even Huang Hua, the Hunan Xuanwei envoy, about the whole incident. Otherwise, Shen Yang, Even if the Zheng family, Huang Hua and others try their best to prevent Tangyi from sending troops to annex Chenzhou, they will also expel the Xi family from Chenzhou. It is in their best interest to have the Xuanwei embassy directly govern Chenzhou. The whole thing will be Only by explaining the whole story clearly and forcing Yao Xishui and the Wan Honglou or Queen Mother family behind her to come in can Chenzhou have some protection."
Han Qian nodded. In terms of detailed analysis, Feng Liao was really no worse than anyone else. Seeing that Guo Rong, Gao Shao and others had nothing to add, he said, "Then we will use this as a framework. Talk about how they might react when they come over..."

…………
As the prime minister, and as the prince Fu who taught everyone, Shen Yang naturally had to sit behind the Central Committee when he entered the palace. Han Daoming was both the minister of political participation and the elder of the Han family, so he and Zheng Chang sat on both sides of Shen Yang.
The master, Han Qian, sat under Han Daoming, followed by Yuan Guowei, the military envoy who was sent to jail Changyi Army on the emperor's order, Yao Xishui representing Cishou Palace, Zhou Qinian, Cao Xiushi, Qin Wen, Feng Liao, Guo Rong, etc. People sit one after another.
Han Qian had enough gifts, but he remained silent from the moment he welcomed Shen Yang, Zheng Chang and others into the house. Guo Rong or Feng Liao took care of all the greetings and farewells, and even sat down silently. .
Everyone sat down in the hall and suddenly felt that they didn't know where to start.
Shen Yang and Zheng Chang didn't know how to start this. Han Daoming was pulled over because he couldn't shirk away. Seeing Han Qian's attitude, he naturally sat aside and pretended to be deaf and dumb; Yao Xishui wanted to pretend that the whole thing was with She is not involved in any way, and she cannot be the first to jump out and get into trouble.
In the end, Chenzhou Governor Shi Cao Xiushi, who had a bitter look on his face, sat up straight and said: "There is absolutely no possibility of the Chenzhou Xi family colluding with the bandits. Please, Lord Marquis..."
"What do you mean, Lord Cao, is eager to defend? Did I say that you colluded with the bandits?" Han Qian stopped Cao Xiushi and said in a very calm tone, "I was ordered to guard Huaixi to ward off rebellion, but instead I don't want the bandits to have the audacity to loot Xuzhou, killing people and setting fires to all possible means. Speaking of which, as the governor of Xuzhou, I have neglected my duty and neglected to take precautions. I can't wait to fly back to Xuzhou and tear the bandits into pieces. I believe Prime Minister Shen Your Excellencies also feel the same. However, I have the responsibility of guarding Huaixi and cannot live up to Your Majesty's trust. I can only ask Feng Yi and Lin Zongjing to lead the navy back to Xuzhou to strengthen the suppression of the rogue bandits as a comfort. The people of Xuzhou who were plundered and massacred—did I say, or did I, the general of Xuzhou soldiers, say that the bandits were secretly sent by Chenzhou?"
"..." Cao Xiushi was thinking about how to take over the topic, but Han Qian didn't give him a chance to interrupt and continued, "Of course, I didn't say it was related to Chenzhou, but I didn't say it must be related to Chenzhou. It doesn’t matter, everything will come to light once we capture Longtan Mountain and capture this group of thieves..."
No one is stupid. If we really want the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou to attack Longtan Mountain, kill all the horse bandits, and then throw away a bunch of broken armor and broken spears of the Chenzhou soldiers, why don't we just sit down and prove that Chenzhou colludes with the bandits to loot Xuzhou? Guilty?
When the time comes, among a pile of corpses, broken armor and broken spears, can Chenzhou defend himself?
"The horse bandits fled into Chenzhou. Should Chenzhou send troops to wipe them out?" Cao Xiushi said.
"Master Cao, this is ridiculous. Chen Xu is the territory of Da Chu, and you and I are all ministers of Da Chu. If the Xuzhou soldiers really saw the bandits who were causing trouble in this state and flowed into Chenzhou, they should have patted their butts and left. Has Hou become nosy when he is in charge of Huaixi today?" Han Qian slapped the table, stared at Cao Xiushi, and asked, "Master Cao, tell me, which law of Da Chu says that Xuzhou soldiers should watch with open eyes? Once the bandits leave Xuzhou, they should just pat their butts and do nothing!"
The main way to capture thieves is to divide the jurisdiction by states. However, when the horse bandits committed crimes in Xuzhou, Xuzhou soldiers surrounded the horse bandits during the pursuit. Even within the territory of Chenzhou, according to the old law of the previous dynasty, Xuzhou has no reason to withdraw its troops. At most, Chenzhou can participate together.
At this time, Xuzhou had four thousand elites surrounding Longtan Mountain, and they did not refuse Chenzhou to send soldiers and horses to participate in the siege of Longtan Mountain. Anyway, if Chenzhou sent troops and horses to come, they would kill them first. After Longtan Mountain was captured, it would be better to find out the evidence. Whether it's framed or framed, it won't make any difference.
The reason is that not only will the four thousand elites of Xuzhou not withdraw, they will continue to send reinforcements to Xuzhou today to ensure that no bandit who plunders Xuzhou will escape...
