Chapter 649: Wolf Ambition
Zhou Qinian was stunned for a long time, and it was hard to believe everything Lu Qingxia said.
With the strength of the Tangyi army and the fact that Han Qian has attached great importance to reconnaissance scouts over the years, Zhou Qinian believes that it should be easy for him to rob three or five people from behind enemy lines, but this is completely different from robbing three or five hundred people from behind enemy lines.
If the Sima family is really so easy to bully, so many years before the Jinling Incident, Li Yu and Yang Yuanyan, the king of Xin, led the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou to confront the Sima clan in the lower reaches of the Huai River for so many years, but they have not been able to achieve decisive results, aren't they all real fools?
In his early years, Wen Duqiao was a figure on the same level as Li Yu, Du Chongtao and others, Wen Bo and Li Zhihe and Han Qian have all faced off, and it can be said that the tactical level will not be too different from Li Zhihe and Han Qian
And the resilience and strong combat effectiveness of the descendants led by Wen Bo are enough to prove that the Wen family is a family of generals comparable to the palace of Zhedong County.
Even if a considerable number of the Wen clan's children were under Wen Bo's command and were trapped in Luoshan City at this time, how could the basic defense force within their clan be weak?
Unless the Wen clan takes the initiative to cooperate, who in the world can snatch away the Wen clansmen who are absolutely strong in small-scale combat effectiveness and the best in the world from the nose of the Sima family?
"Madame said it's funny," Zhou Qinian said with a smile, "Even if the Marquis of Qianyang colluded with the Liang army, but Wen Duqiao was one of the culprits who killed Han Daoxun back then, how could the Wen clan not resist and obediently leave with the light soldiers sent by the Marquis of Qianyang?" Madame are you sure that it is not Sima Shi who has any deal with Qianyang Hou? ”
If this is true, Zhou Qinian is more willing to guess what cooperation agreement Sima has reached with the Marquis of Qianyang, perhaps because the Sima clan is worried that Huaidong will send troops to Xu Si, and then intends to curry favor with the Marquis of Qianyang and sacrifice his father's blood feud.
However, can this be regarded as collusion with Liang Jun?
Or maybe this was an opportunity to persuade the Sima clan to submit to Dachu?
Zhou Qinian couldn't digest such an astonishing news for a while, and even Lu Qingxia's words were true or false, he couldn't tell for a while.
"I don't know what means Han Qian used to persuade the Wen clan to cooperate obediently, in hindsight, there was no sign of armed confrontation and hard fighting in his settlement, but the Sima clan was angry, and afterwards divided the troops to chase after several ways, but the hunting and killing of more than a dozen people were all suspicious soldiers, and in the end, the light soldiers successfully escaped,"
Lu Qingxia did not hide that they had quite reliable sources of information in Xu Si, and said in more detail,
"Of course, the reason why the Sima clan was slack and unprepared was that this light soldier sneaked out of Tangyi, and initially pretended that the Liang army approached the north of Xuzhou from the north. After the Wen clan was robbed, the Sima clan sent soldiers and horses to the north to pursue to no avail, realizing that it may be that the south sent soldiers and horses to pretend to be the Liang army to rob people, and the follow-up pursuit was carried out along the south of Xuzhou, but at this time, it was interfered with by the soldiers and horses of the Tangyi army crossing the river from Haozhou during this time, and I did not expect that this light soldier with the Wen clan did not go north, nor did they break through to the south, but went east to the north of Haizhou to cross the sea. It's a pity that we got the news a little late, four days ago the people of Shouwangfu found out at the mouth of the Yangtze River that there would be four warehouse ships in Chishan from the open sea into the Yangtze River waterway. Maybe when Mr. Zhou arrived at East Lake, Han Qian had already seen the bridge with Wen Duqiao......"
Zhou Qinian frowned slightly, he knew that Lu Qingxia had said so many details, which was naturally convenient for him to verify the authenticity, and asked hesitantly: "Madam wants to say that the Marquis of Qianyang kidnapped the Wen clan......
Zhou Qinian was a little stunned by his thoughts, so that he couldn't directly confide in him when he hesitated and hesitated.
"Mr. Zhou has been dealing with Han Qian for more than a year and a half, isn't it clear enough what kind of person Han Qian is?" Lu Qingxia said, "Back then, Han Qian used filial piety to play with His Majesty, and once filial piety became an obstacle to his ambition and power, and he trampled on the soles of his feet, what is there to be surprised about? What can the revenge of killing his father be in the eyes of this kind of character? Besides, if he doesn't admit it, who in the world can say that the Wen clan must fall into his hands? At this time, can Mr. Zhou still say that Han Qian is not determined to collude with Liang Jun in order to fulfill his ambition? ”
Zhou Qinian gasped, thinking to himself, for the powerful fathers and sons and brothers kill each other, I don't know how many, if people like them still believe that the so-called father's hatred is not shared, isn't it self-deception?
It's just that if the Wen clan falls into the hands of Han Qian, especially if the soldiers are bloodless, and they are extremely cooperative with the Tangyi sneakers into Tangyi to hide, then what kind of secret agreement did Han Qian and the Wen clan reach?
At this time, Zhou Qinian somewhat understood why Lu Qingxia, who had never shown his face, intercepted him here.
He couldn't help but think in his heart, if Han Qian and the Wen clan reached some secret agreement, how could Li Zhihe besiege Luoshan City?
Zhou Qinian secretly felt that maybe he didn't have to wait for the Tangyi army and the Luoshan defenders to launch an offensive, as long as the Tangyi army sent additional troops and horses to the two cities of Huangchuan and Le'an, Li Zhihe would not dare to risk an airtight siege of Luoshan City, right?
Zhou Qinian predicted that no matter how fierce the opposition of Han Qian and Shen Yang, Yang En and others in the imperial court was, the Empress Dowager and her party would most likely instruct Chai Jian to cooperate with the Shu army to launch an attack on Guanzhong in Junzhou, but in this situation, how could Chai Jian dare to act rashly?
Lu Qingxia stared at Zhou Qinian and asked, "Mr. Zhou doesn't have a clear understanding of Han Qian's wolf and thief heart at this time?" Mr. Zhou and Lord Huang are a party of the descendants, do you really think that you can have the opportunity to seek common ground with Han Qian? ”
Zhou Qinian naturally would not be easily moved by Lu Qingxia's words, and asked quietly: "According to what Madame can see, the Marquis of Qianyang controls the Wen clan in his hands, and the Marquis of Qianyang can't fight on his side, and the Marquis of Qianyang can't directly send troops across the Gu River, what will he do?" ”
"Wen Bo sent people out of the city to ask the court to surrender directly, and under the manipulation and arrangement of Han Qian, Han Daoming and others, recruited Liang Bo and his troops to continue to guard Luoshan and other cities, who can stop them?" Lu Qingxia asked.
Zhou Qinian nodded, thinking that what Lu Qingxia said was quite likely to happen.
Li Zhihe did not dare to carry out an airtight siege of Nasan Castle at that time, and it was not a way to continue the confrontation in central Gwangju for a long time.
In this case, Wen Bo took the initiative to ask for surrender, and the court did not allow it.
And since it is a surrender, or a recruitment, allowing it to retain a part of its military power is a common practice of first encompassing and then disposing of it.
Whoever wants to resolutely oppose it can do that, but who the dares to storm Luoshan City and annihilate the Luoshan defenders when the Tangyi army is peeping on the side with malicious intentions?
The whole thing is simply a copy of the Sizhou civil unrest.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qinian tended to believe that what Lu Qingxia said was true.
"More than 400 people from the Wen clan have entered Tangyi, so many people, it is impossible for Han Qian to hide it tightly, and no rumors will come out," Lu Qingxia didn't want to force Zhou Qinian too much, and besides, even if Zhou Qinian was extremely trusted by Huanghua, he was only a guest of the Huang family after all, and this information still needed to be brought by Zhou Qinian to the Huang family and the Jiangdong family to digest it, and said, "If Mr. Zhou has a heart, I believe that he will be able to find some clues soon." ”
Zhou Qinian didn't say much to Lu Qingxia, after all, everything was not confirmed, and he wouldn't believe Lu Qingxia's words, and he quickly entered the city after separation.
He did not rush to find Huang Huixiang and Huang Hua's son Huang Xi to talk about this matter, but after entering the city, he first went to find Zhang Xian, a fellow villager and a guest under the door of Shouwang Yang Zhitang.
As a guest, Zhou Qinian did not have the qualifications to directly visit Shouwang Yang Zhitang, but he had an excellent relationship with Zhang Xian, a guest of Shouwang Yang Zhitang, and others.
The daughter of Huang Hua was canonized as the queen, and the Huang family is a descendant of a foreign relative, and there is no fundamental conflict of interests with the clan giant Qingshou Wangfu. The prince of Shouwang led the right dragon army to move to Runjiang to control the defense of the river and coastal east of Runzhou, and the Shouwang Mansion also deliberately wooed and befriended the Jiangdong family.
Therefore, Zhou Qinian found Zhang Xian to verify that four sea ships of the Chishan Society had recently returned to the Yangtze River to go to East Lake, and Zhang Xian did not hide it and confirmed that it was indeed true.
The waterway of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River east of Runzhou is the defense area of the Youlongwu Army, and the Shouwang Mansion attaches great importance to the ships of the Chishan Society, even if it will not be blocked for no reason, and even according to the conditions secretly agreed by the two sides, it will not be searched for no reason, but occasionally a few large sea ships enter the mouth of the Yangtze River, how can it be missed?
Zhang Xian could even confirm the time when the two large ships went to sea before and after the Chishan Meeting, which was after Shu Chen Wei Qun sent an envoy to Jinling.
Huang Huayuan was in Tanzhou, and it was inconvenient to pass on the news for a while, so Zhou Qinian said goodbye to Zhang Xian and rushed to Huangfu, where he met with Huang Huixiang and Huang Xian, and talked about Lu Qingxia meeting him halfway.
"I said a long time ago that Han Qian is really not a good species!" Huang Yu said nonchalantly.
When he was on duty in Changchun Palace at the beginning, he partnered with Han Jun, and he preconceived that Han Jun had said too many bad things about Han Qian, where would he have a good impression of Han Qian?
However, Huang Xi would not be so simple as to think that Lu Qingxia intercepted Zhou Qinian halfway, but just wanted to find a stranger to complain, and asked Zhou Qinian curiously:
"However, then again, Lu Qingxia and the others have all taken the second prince into Cishou Palace, is it possible that she has anything else to make peace with us?"
At present, although his sister has been canonized as the queen, if the status of the Huang family is really consolidated, it will have to wait for his little nephew to be established as the crown prince.
It's just that Emperor Yanyou is so young, no matter who he is, no matter how eager he is, he will not mention the matter of establishing a successor at this time.
Don't say that you can abolish the heir after you establish a concubine, now that the prince has not been established, Cishou Palace suddenly took over the second prince born to Li Pu's daughter to raise him, and it is impossible to make Huang Xi have a good impression of Lu Qingxia and these people.
"There are major and minor problems, no matter what Lu Qingxia's intentions are, it is better for Mr. Zhou to see them again." Huang Huixiang said.
Over the years, Lu Qingxia, Yao Xishui and others have manipulated power in front of and behind the scenes, but in the eyes of most people, they are all female officials and eunuchs who are attached to the Queen Mother. And female officials and eunuchs have been in power for thousands of years, and even many people in the government and the opposition like to take this route when seeking power from officials and in the opposition.
In Huang Huixiang's opinion, they may have a fight with Lu Qingxia and others in the future, but compared to the shocking wolf ambitions exposed by Han Qian and Tang Yijun at this time, they still have some room for compromise with Lu Qingxia and others for the time being, so they want to ask Zhou Qinian to contact Lu Qingxia again to see what they have in mind to deal with the current situation.
