The complete external statement is that after the three princes first arrived in Xiangzhou, they found that they had been poisoned in the diet, and the secret investigation found that the guard camp was infiltrated by the Liang State spies, but the torture was too strong when the two key people were captured, so that the two fine works were directly tortured to death without giving useful information, and the guard camp could not be completely eliminated in a short period of time, and the guards and horses around the three princes could only be replaced as a whole in the current situation.

The three princes were assassinated shortly after leaving the palace last year, and soon after they arrived in Xiangzhou City, they were poisoned by the enemy, and the matter was very sensitive.

Han Qian immediately accompanied the third prince to see Du Chongtao to report the matter, Du Chongtao saw that the third prince's personal freedom was not restricted, and this incident had not happened, so there was no news leaked out of him.

After Han Qian withdrew the Zuo Si scouts and some of the men and horses left by Li Zhihe from the temporary residence of the three princes, Shen Yang, who was full of solemnity, personally went to Chen De, Guo Rong, Guo Liang, Gao Chengyuan and others to come in to see the three princes.

"Suddenly such a change happened, in order to avoid unnecessary worries, I didn't send someone to inform you in advance," Although six or seven days have passed since the incident, Yang Yuanpu still couldn't hide his excitement in his heart, stared at everyone, and said, "Mr. Shen has selected a group of young generals with innocent backgrounds from the army, and I will temporarily use these young generals around me to serve as his followers - many things around me in the future will also depend on Shen Shengsheng's hard work......"

"Entrusted by Your Majesty, Shen Yang does not dare to slack off." Shen Yang returned the salute, still emphasizing that his loyalty to the Three Princes stemmed from the will of Emperor Tianyou.

Guo Liang and Gao Chengyuan could guess that things were not as simple as they imagined, after all, the expressions of the three princes were not frightened or angry, but a trace of excitement that could not be concealed and the sharp temperament of the sword out of the sheath, it was not difficult for them to see some clues.

However, Shen Yang was able to go to the side of the third prince to take charge and personally select a new batch of guards, which was extremely beneficial to Guo Liang and Gao Chengyuan.

Although Guo Liang and Gao Chengyuan, like Li Zhihe, Zhou Shu and others, are the same as the Duyu Hou of each part of the Dragon Bird Army, the middle and low-level military attaches under them are basically the descendants of the Xinchang Marquis Mansion, so that neither of them can really control the soldiers and horses under them.

Even if Guo Liang is better than Gao Chengyuan, after all, there are still two or three hundred veterans of the original Dragon Sparrow Army who follow him, but they are also commanded by his battalion and led by the team.

At this time, Shen Yang stayed by the side of the third prince to take charge, although he would not be able to suppress the influence of the Marquis of Xinchang immediately, but it was foreseeable that Guo Liang and Gao Chengyuan wanted to select brave fighters from the grassroots generals to train and promote, or they wanted to punish their subordinates for unruly and disobedient military attachés, the resistance was much less than before.

Chen De is not a fool, but his temperament is really much lazier, and seeing that the third prince is fine, he doesn't care about what kind of subtlety is hidden in the overall replacement of the guard camp and how serious the subsequent impact is.

Guo Rong was shocked and suspicious.

He guessed that something terrible must have happened, but he didn't follow Yang Yuanpu to Xiangzhou City by land for the first time, and even none of the people who were waiting by Yang Yuanpu's side in the past few days were his descendants, and there was no way to know what happened at this time, and he could only acquiesce to the fact that it had happened.

However, his eyes when he looked at Chen Ping were full of suspicion, and it was only at this time that he knew that Chen Ping would replace him as the supervisor of the Hou Mansion, which means that from today onwards, he will only serve as the supervisor of the army, and he will no longer be allowed to interfere in the affairs of the third prince.

Such an appointment, he did not hear the slightest wind beforehand, obviously not the will of the Anning Palace; And if this is His Majesty's will, then Zhang Ping should have been sent by His Majesty to assist the Three Princes, but how could the Three Princes, Shen Yang, Han Qian and others deliberately weaken Zhang Ping's sense of existence?

There must be a demon when things go wrong, Guo Rong secretly speculated, Zhang Ping seems to be worth scrutinizing?

The negotiation with Chen De, Guo Rong, Guo Liang, Gao Chengyuan and others was naturally handed over to Shen Yang to lead, Han Qian stood quietly behind the three princes, and saw Guo Rong looking at Zhang Ping for several days, he also felt that his scalp was numb, Xinchang Hou Li Pu's arrangement of the black gauze woman was too stupid and stupid, and he was bent on controlling the three princes and him in the palm of his hand, but he thought that Guo Rong and Anning Palace were blind, so that now there are flaws everywhere, and they can't be blocked.

Han Qian didn't have the energy to take care of too much at this time, at this time, the things he planned to build the city and the boat gang to undertake the defeat of salt, because of this turmoil, it had been delayed for ten days than he expected and did not officially start.

At this time, the war in the north has started, although the war has not yet burned a large area to the Nanyang Basin, but it cannot be delayed any longer, and everything must be put on the right track immediately.

After Guo Liang, Gao Chengyuan and others saw the three princes, they returned to Niushou Village to standby.

Yang Yuanpu invited Chen De, Guo Rong, Shen Yang and Han Qian into the inner hall to discuss matters.

Han Qian strongly pushed Shen Yang to take charge, mainly because in addition to Xinchang Marquis Li Pu, Shen Yang was the only high-ranking official who was qualified to directly submit the preface to the Tianyou Emperor's case.

Of course, the third prince Yang Yuanpu can also hand the chapter to the palace, but the problem is that Yang Yuanpu is still a fourteen-year-old boy who has nothing to do, and even if his opinion is correct and correct, it will be difficult for Emperor Tianyou to get it to the court and hand it over to the privy minister for decision.

The reason why Chen De was able to serve as the deputy commander of the Dragon Bird Army was purely because he was the only relative of the concubine in the court, and he was only a low-level military attache before.

However, Chen De, as the deputy commander of the army, and Guo Rong, as the supervising military envoy, have the right to speak in the internal resolutions of the Dragon Bird Army, while Chai Jian, Chen Ping, and Li Chong, who were entrusted with important tasks by Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, can only sit on the side and listen.

"On the north bank of the Han River and on both sides of the Danjiang River, there are as many as 30,000 or 40,000 fugitives who have taken refuge in the mountains for decades due to war, and most of these people are controlled by the defeated army that has been defeated in previous wars, and they have strong armaments and will to resist, and it is difficult to force them in a short period of time," Han Qian stood on the lobby and said his plan eloquently, but he also deliberately reduced the actual number of escapees in Junzhou, "These cottages, salt and iron and other things are extremely scarce, and His Highness lures them with salt and iron and other things, so that they can be used by His Highness." ”

"Thirty or forty thousand people, two thousand stones of salt are needed every year, if the communication can be smooth, it can be exchanged for three or four thousand people for the left wing of the Dragon Bird Army garrison, but the problem is that I and His Royal Highness are negligent at this time, Your Majesty supports it, and the salt matter in the three counties of Xu Dengxi will be dealt with as a special case, and it will take two or three months before the boat gang can transport the first package of salt, I am afraid that it will be difficult to quench the thirst of the distant water!" Shen Yang knows the practice, and after listening to Han Qian's brief words, he knows what loopholes he wants to exploit, but the problem is that it is not easy to solve the urgent needs in front of him.

"It's up to the right to do things," Han Qian said, "It is common sense that the seven thousand generals of the Dragon Bird Army, with five thousand people accompanying the army, should also match the corresponding materials for the Dragon Bird Army." Of course, this matter requires His Royal Highness and Mr. Shen Yang to go to Lord Du to negotiate before it is possible. ”

Han Qian's plan was for the third prince and Shen Yang to come forward and find Du Chongtao to report the false accounts of 5,000 people first, and receive the corresponding material supplies to offset the consumption in the early stage.

This is also the significance of the Dragon Bird Army's participation in the war this time to make up for the lack of military funds.

Using salt and iron to lure the cottage to make it strong to build a city in Canglang and assist in the defense of the left front is a plan that must be announced and implemented, and Han Qian is not afraid that after Guo Rong learns about it, he will send the news back to the Anning Palace.

As Guo Rong, as a military envoy, it is his duty to supervise military affairs, but Han Qian is not worried that he will arbitrarily obstruct the normal military strategy, presumably Guo Rong also knows very well in his heart that as long as he dares to arbitrarily obstruct legitimate military affairs, Emperor Tianyou will find an excuse to kick him out.

At that time, the biggest eyeliner of the Anning Palace in the Linjiang Marquis Mansion and the Dragon Bird Army will also be removed.

Chen De's relationship with the Marquis of Xinchang has become close recently, and he is also aware of the existence of the Late Red Mansion, but the power of the Dragon Bird Army can become stronger, which is in line with his own interests and position, and there is absolutely no reason to oppose the use of salt and iron to build the city and consolidate the defense line of the left front.

After discussion, it was finally decided that Shen Yang would accompany the three princes to Du Chongtao to negotiate the matter, and Han Qian would be solely responsible for the specific implementation.

Guo Rong and Chen De were also tired of traveling and boating, and when such a big thing happened, everyone was not in the mood to stay for the banquet, so they went back to the courtyard arranged in Jinxingfang to rest.

Shen Yang's residence in Jinxingfang was quite close to Han Qian's temporary residence, and they left the mansion of the third prince together.

When there were no idle people waiting on the left and right, Shen Yang still couldn't help but ask: "The purpose of what you are discussing today is probably to establish a new Junzhou, and secretly promise to help Li Zhihe get out of Junzhou?" ”

"......" about the new Junzhou, Han Qian had only communicated with a very few people such as Xinchang Hou Li Pu, the Black Gauze Woman and Li Zhihe beforehand, but they felt that he was in a bit of a hurry, but he didn't expect Shen Yang to deduce so many details so quickly, and he also knew that it was meaningless to deny it, so he kept silent.

"Alas, you and Li Zhihe are both ambitious and colluded, but you don't want to think about what a bad situation Your Highness will face when you return to Jinling, and you have wasted His Highness's trust in you." Seeing that Han Qian was silent, Shen Yang knew that many speculations were true, and he accused him unceremoniously.

"It was Marquis Xinchang who destroyed His Highness's trust in them, and this matter can be relied on by me and Li Zhihe?" Han Qian asked rhetorically.

It's just that Han Qian also knew that his rebuttal was not too strong, after all, he couldn't tell the real conspiracy of Marquis Xinchang at this time, and in Shen Yang's heart, the crisis around the three princes was far from being solved with military advice.

Shen Yang really followed up and asked: "Not to mention the rest, if the Dragon Bird Army is maintained, the Xinchang Marquis Mansion will still need to subsidize forty or fifty thousand stone of money and grain every year, and Zuo Si's loopholes today are getting bigger and bigger, can you really afford this?" ”

"Li Zhihe led his troops to make achievements on the left flank, and Junzhou could be newly established, and the gap could be filled." Han Qian said.

"What if you can't?" Shen Yang asked.

"Under the tired eggs, how can I have any other way to retreat?" Han Qian could only say so resolutely.

"Alas!" Shen Yang let out a long sigh, didn't say anything to Han Qian anymore, and took the two family members to push the door and walk into the courtyard arranged for him.
