On February 12, Li Zhihe received the edict and canonization ceremony in Liangzhou City, and announced to the Liangzhou military and people that Liangzhou was annexed to the Great Liang State. Chai Jian served as the deputy envoy of Liangzhou Jiedu, and concurrently led the history of Jinzhou Thorn, and was named the Marquis of Xunyang, with 300 households, all of which were ordered by Han Qian, the lord of the Great Liang State.

Cao Gan sent his eldest son Cao Zhe to Liangzhou Guanyi, and on behalf of Shu, he officially recognized the merger of Jinliang and Liangzhou into Liang, and negotiated a new national border between the two countries and borrowed Liangzhou's grain and straw.

After these things were completed, Feng Yi escorted the Empress Dowager Wang Chan'er, Xiangwang Yang Lin, Chen De and Chen Ruyi and other eunuchs who were coerced to flee west, as well as Chen De's family, and then there was Chun Thirteen Niang, a total of more than 100 prisoners, and rushed directly to Xiangcheng by boat to see Zhou Bingwu and Zhang Ben, the secretary of the Great Chu Military Department and the envoy of the envoy.

In any case, not to mention Zhou Bingwu, who was transferred from the defense envoy of Yongjiadu to the central government to serve as the secretary of the military department, Zhang Peng, as the general of the three dynasties who chased the former Tianyou Emperor to open up the territory of Great Chu before Li Yujiao, will not be led by the nose of Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters; In terms of political stance, they will not obviously lean towards the side of King Fu or King Shou Yang Zhitang.

Feng Yi took a group of prisoners, took a boat to Xiangcheng to see Zhou Bingwu and Zhang Ji first, and then even if he was escorted or detained by Zhou Bingwu, he rushed directly to Jinling by water, and met with the personnel sent to Jinling from Donghu to negotiate with the people in Chuting, which was the fastest.

With so many people, if you detour from the mountains and mountains west of the Danjiang River to Xichuan, and then pass through Tongbai Mountain to Yiyang to take a boat, there will be too much delay along the way.

Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, Zhong Yanhu, and Yao Xishui, with more than 200 people who followed them in the end, including Zhou Yuan and Zhong Yanhu's families, traveled west along the Han River, crossed the Zibai Mountain west of Hanzhong, and migrated westward with great difficulty before Li Zhihe received the edict.

Between the mountains and valleys in the upper reaches of the Han River, the roads were dangerous, not only could the horses not pass, but in order to save physical strength, they even had to discard more than 200 heavy armors in the territory of Chuyang County.

It wasn't until half a month later that they crossed the Zibai Mountain, where the main peak was nearly 1,000 feet high, and a faintly visible trail appeared between the python mountain ridges from north to south.

"This is Yin Ping Dao?"

Zhou Yuan vaguely remembered that the general location of Yinping Road was between the mountains in a radius of two or three hundred miles around here, but it was a path stepped on by herdsmen and mountain people for thousands of years, not an officially built post road.

If it is Yin Ping Dao, then they are faced with three choices:

Continuing westward over the mountains and mountains, they will enter the Songbo region controlled by the Western Qiang people.

To the south is the Mianzhou area of Bazhong, which is the important defensive town of the Shu army to defend against Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian through Yinping Road.

To the north, Zhao Mengji's subordinates temporarily "borrowed" the past Qinzhou from the hands of the Pingxia people.

Zhou Yuan hesitated, and was about to turn around to discuss with Lu Qingxia and Zhong Yanhu, when a few fast horses galloped over from a dense forest a few miles to the southwest.

"Dare to ask if it's Lu Gong's envoy?" Although the people who came were all dressed as hunters, their crotch was a Songbo war horse, and they rushed to restrain the horse and asked in a loud voice.

Zhou Yuan didn't know which side of the spies belonged to, and when he saw that the other party came up, he directly revealed their identities, and he was secretly frightened, so he thought about seeing how Zhong Yanhu sent someone to deal with him.

"The Marquis of Hejian expected that the envoy of the palace and Lord Zhou would take this road, so he specially sent me to wait nearby, and invited the envoy of the palace and the Lord of Zhou to go to Qinzhou for a ......."

Lu Qingxia was covered with a veil to shield himself from the wind and sand, but the person who came seemed to recognize the embarrassed Zhou Yuan, and he directly admitted his identity.

The Marquis of Hejian was the son of the Mengwu royal family, Wu Sulu, and he was also the mastermind who revealed Li Zhihe's life story to Li Pu in Jinling City and forced them to launch a palace rebellion in a hurry.

Zhou Yuan didn't expect that the Mengwu people and the New Liang Army would have their brains in Heluo, and Wu Sulu, who was actually in charge of Guanjiang Tower, would have the leisure to stay in Qinzhou, and even sent people to wait here for them to pass by.

Doesn't this mean that the Mugultures had already expected that Li Zhihe would be surrendered by Han Qian, and they would be expelled by Li Zhihe passing through here?

Zhou Yuan turned his head to look at Lu Qingxia and Zhong Yanhu behind him.

Now the situation is very simple, Shu will definitely not tolerate them, continue to go west into the Song Domain controlled by Zhuqiang, with only their manpower, it is extremely difficult to take root.

"We are the people who see the chases, who live in heaven and earth and are useless...... "Lu Qingxia sighed faintly.

"Don't be discouraged by the envoy of the palace," the man at the head of the group had a beard on his face, jumped off his horse and approached, and hugged his fists, "Wang Chip has heard that his father-in-law and Lord Xiao often mention the name of the envoy of the palace of Lü, and the loss of the palace of Cishou is also because the Marquis of Hejian fell for Han Qian's plan and forced the envoy of the palace to act in a hurry. If there is a mistake, it is also our miscalculation. And this time, Han Qian got Emperor Liang Zhu Yu to trust him with the country, and the prince and Lord Xiao also felt that they had made a mistake, and the envoy of the Lu Palace couldn't calculate this son, it was really nothing. ”

Wang Jingrong secretly attached Xiao Yiqing and founded Guanjianglou in the Jin Kingdom, and adopted more than a dozen righteous sons to take charge of it, Zhou Yuan and they had only seen two or three of them before, and they had not heard much of Wang Chip's name before.

If this were not the case, if it weren't for the fact that they were extremely familiar with the terrain of the mountains west of Hanzhong, even if they could guess in advance that they would be expelled by Li Zhihe, it would be difficult for them to meet in this vicinity!

"How is the battle going in Heluo?" Zhou Yuan couldn't help but ask, he was now eager to see Han Qian being killed in Heluo, and wanted to see what Li Zhihe's face would be after knowing the news.

"The Yu River in Yan, Lin and other places north of Hejin has melted ice, and there is an outbreak of Ling Flood between the two mountains of Cuixiang, and the army is forced to withdraw to Mengzhou, and it may be delayed for another half a month before it can attack the Tiger Prison Pass again," Wang Chip said bluntly, "Lu Gong envoy, Lord Zhou and Han Qian have been fighting for more than ten years, and they are very familiar with the Tangyi army, and the prince and Lord Xiao expected that Han Qian would surrender Li Zhihe, but they would not tolerate you, so they specially ordered the Marquis of Hejian to come with me to greet him, and he will ......treat him with the secretary of state in Mengzhou."

The alluvial plain of the lower reaches of the Yiluo River is conducive to large-scale soldiers and horses fighting, and the cavalry is used to intersperse in a roundabout way, but this area is blocked by Luoyang City, bordering Pishan in the north and Songyue in the south, which is a standard pocket terrain, and is not familiar with the scale of the Tangyi army's operations, and at the same time the mouth of the Yiluo River will be threatened by Lingxin at any time, and the soldiers and horses assembled in Mengzhou in early February are unable to seize the Hugao Pass on the east flank and the Pishan Dongling on the west side of the mouth of the Yiluo River, and they do not dare to rashly advance into the territory of the deeper Yanshi.

The fierce battle between the two sides for more than half a month was concentrated on the alluvial plain more than ten miles deep between the mouth of the Yiluo River and the Tiger Prison Pass, mainly fighting for the defense fortress west of the Tiger Prison Pass and between the hills and ridges at the northwest foot of Songshan Mountain.

Although certain results were achieved, Lingxun came as scheduled, considering that the north and south of the Yuhe River would be blocked during the Lingxun period, and even the Eastern Liang army could not attack the Tiger Prison Pass from the east, and was even forced to abandon the several defensive fortresses captured on the west side of the Tiger Prison Pass, and all of them were withdrawn to the north bank to rest.

Although Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, Zhong Yanhu and others were expelled from Liangzhou like lost dogs, although they have been fighting with Han Qianming in secret over the years and have never gained the upper hand, it is undeniable that when it comes to understanding Tangyi and Han Qian deeply, there are probably not many people in the world who can match them.

Li Zhihe almost broke with Lu Qingxia and them at the end of last year, and even let them retreat to Liangzhou to recuperate after relieving Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, Zhong Yanhu and others of their military power - of course, the situation directly determined that Li Zhihe would only choose to make peace with Han Qian, while Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, Zhong Yanhu and others were obstacles to Li Zhihe's peace with Han Qian.

Therefore, Xiao Yiqing gave up sending envoys to Liangzhou, and sent people to wait for the exile of Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan and others, of course, he also expected that Li Zhihe was unwilling to bear the notoriety of ingratitude, and he did not want Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan and others to continue to stay by his side to influence the generals of the late Red Mansion in the Central Plains of Liangzhou Soldiers and Horses, and the exile of Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan and others was the most likely choice for Li Zhihe.

Zhou Yuan was faintly excited, he didn't mention going to Mengwu before, mainly because he was worried that they would look like lost dogs, and they rushed to Qinzhou, they were suspected of sticking a hot face to a cold ass, and they would not be taken seriously, so it was better to go to Songbo first to watch the situation for a while.

At this time, since Xiao Yiqing and Wu Su Dashi were afraid that Hejian Hou Wu Sulu and Wang Tuo would come to invite, he felt that there was really no need to be coy......
