"Is the old lady okay in Jinling?"

First sent An Jixiang, Fu Gengwen, Yang Hu and others to the post house to rest, but Han Qian left Han Chengmeng in the mansion to talk.

In any case, Han Qian and Han Chengmeng are cousins; When it was announced to the public, it was also Han Qian and the old lady, Han Daochang, and Han Jun who conspired to use tricks to earn Gu Zhilong, showing that the Han family was close. Now Han Qian left Han Chengmeng alone to talk about homely things, and An Jixiang, Fu Gengwen and others couldn't say half of it.

"The old man's health is okay, but he doesn't walk around much anymore, and there are only a limited number of old men such as Fu Mo in Jinling City, who can hand over a word to someone......"

Han Chengmeng talked about the old man Han Wenhuan, in addition to his physical condition, he also hinted at the potential impact of Shang Wensheng's assassination on the Han Mansion in his words.

Han Qian frowned slightly.

Since the establishment of the Xuanshe Jie Du Embassy in the previous dynasty, the family lords of the two states have formed an intricate connection in the blending of more than 100 years, and the old man can be said to be one of the representatives of the Xuanshe family, but in fact, it is inevitably affected by the conscription of slaves and a series of subsequent events, and is isolated by the Xuanshe family.

Seeing that Han Qian was groaning and not speaking, Han Chengmeng then hurriedly explained the reason why he would come to Xuzhou this time:

"The former officials of Hunan Xingshangshu Province, after His Majesty ascended the throne, almost all of them were filled in the six ministries and departments, the old man said that the capital is also quiet and the wind does not stop, during this time I have been idle in Jinling, not to the six ministries to serve, thinking of a dispatch to the outside, but I don't want Your Majesty to suddenly decide to use Xingshangshu Province this time, I was sent over - but Wei Yan has been staying in Shaozhou, no change."

"Oh, you're kind of a little out of your mind." Han Qian nodded and said.

He was still curious about why Han Chengmeng came over, and he didn't ask in detail in front of An Jixiang and the others before.

asked at this time, but he didn't expect that it was Han Chengmeng who had been delaying and didn't plan to send him around; When Hunan Xingshangshu Province was reactivated, his official title at that time was still hanging in Xingshangshu Province, so he was directly involved in it, which could be regarded as a disaster.

Han Qian pondered the meaning of Han Chengmeng's words, and secretly felt that the old man was still wary of the current turbulent undercurrent in Jinling.

Otherwise, Qiao Weiyan and Han Chengmeng would stay in the Sixth Ministry, and they would be better than Waifang Prefectures and Counties.

Compared with later generations, not to mention those remote states and counties or states and counties that are on the verge of enemy territory and in danger, even the relatively prosperous county towns in southern Zhejiang, western Zhejiang, and Jiangxi are full of sewage and piles of flies and insects.

When it comes to epidemics, everyone is at risk.

Don't look at the city in Chenzhong, but the city management in all aspects can be said to be the top level in the world.

Unless Jinling is regarded as a place of right and wrong, otherwise, it is a more suitable choice to stay in the six ministries.

Of course, Han Chengmeng said that only he and Qiao Weiyan wanted to leave Jinling, and Han Qian could understand it.

In the Han family's generation, in addition to him, Han Jun and Han Duan, who are the eldest sons of the three chambers, there are eight concubines, sons-in-law, and sons-in-law, not to mention distant cousins and other Han clan members who are further related by blood.

Obviously, no matter how worried the old man is, not everyone will be able to truly realize the crisis that exists in the Han family at present.

This is also the case where everyone has their own aspirations.

Han Qian had never thought of taking the responsibility of the clan on himself, in fact, he had always been a traitor of the Han clan, at least

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

At this time, he didn't have anything special to say to Han Chengmeng and Qiao Weiyan, who served in Shaozhou.

At this time, Guo Rong walked in.

Seeing Guo Rong's dusty appearance, Han Chengmeng didn't know where he came from, so he quickly stood up to salute him, and also looked curiously at this figure who had a lot of entanglements with Anning Palace, but finally fell under Han Qian's command.

It is precisely because of this that many people in Beijing think that just because Tan Yuliang has confronted Han Qian before, it cannot be concluded that the riot led by Tan Yuliang in Sizhou is not involved in Xuzhou.

In short, whether the Sizhou civil unrest is implicated in Xuzhou or not is in a stage where the public says that the public is justified and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable.

"Han Gongzi came to Xuzhou this time, and it can be regarded as a long way away......" Guo Rong bowed to Han Chengmeng.

He hadn't met Han Chengmeng before, but just now he heard the guards outside say that Han Qian had left Han Chengmeng, Feng Yi, Gao Shao and others to talk in the hall.

At the beginning of the war to cut the feudal domain, Han Chengmeng, Han Jianji, and Qiao Weiyan went to work under the command of the third prince Yang Yuanpu, and completely threw themselves into the three princes on behalf of the Han family, but they had not come to Xuzhou before, and this was the first time they came.

Of course, there was some irony in Guo Rong's words, which was to say that Jinling's intention to reactivate Hunan Province to clamp down on Xuzhou was too obvious, and the Han family even forced in to intervene.

Han Qian smiled and explained to Guo Rong the reason why Han Chengmeng came over.

Guo Rong was slightly stunned, and apologized for his reckless words just now.

Seeing that Guo Rong didn't speak again, Han Chengmeng also knew that it was time for him to leave, so he stood up and said, "It's not early, I'll go back to the post house to rest first, and don't disturb your deliberations." Oh, by the way, along the way, I mentioned the affairs of Guangde Mansion a few times, and I heard Fu Gengwen's words more or less involuntarily complain......"

Han Qian nodded noncommittally and sent Han Chengmeng out of the courtyard before returning to the house with Guo Rong and Feng Yi.

"Han Chengmeng is not quite the same as the other sons and nephews of the Han family." Guo Rong has not had any contact with the other juniors of the Han family, but in Han Chengmeng's words just now, the meaning of the reminder here is obvious.

"Fu Gengwen's attitude, can he do his job?" Feng Yi asked.

"Fu Gengwen has learned to be very treacherous at a young age, as long as he makes sure he doesn't cause us trouble." Han Qian said that Fu Gengwen had to do his work, but he couldn't put too much energy into it.

"The imperial court's reactivation of Hunan Province is not necessarily a bad thing for Xuzhou." Guo Rong said.

"That's what I said, but it's unlikely that there will be any action in Yuzhou within three or five days, and we can only delay the Chenzhou camp for three or five days, this matter is still troublesome!" Gao Shao said with a frown.

After the reactivation of Hunan Province, Huang Hua and others will strengthen the clamp on Xuzhou.

And if there is really any change in Xuzhou, Hunan Province can also respond to it as quickly as possible, unlike in the past, the surrounding states will have all kinds of considerations, and there is no subordinate relationship between them, and they must first send someone to ask the imperial court to deal with it.

However, having said that, Xuzhou had no dissent, as long as Huang Hua and others did not have the sinister intention of maliciously intensifying the contradictions, and reactivating Hunan Province, it was actually adding a layer of buffer between Xuzhou and the Great Chu Dynasty.

In addition to this, the biggest difficulty at present, even if the Chenzhou camp is delayed for three or five more days before entering the territory of Sizhou, it will not solve their urgent needs.

The speed of doing things in Yuzhou cannot be so fast.

This is also the biggest problem of communication in the world, especially in Xuzhou, which is blocked by mountains and rivers.

Even if Yuzhou is already doing things in Wuchuan County,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

When the news comes back, it will be at least five or six days later.

"What's the latest news coming back from Panlongling?" Han Qian asked Gao Shao.

"Yang Xingfeng wanted to attack Hongli Village yesterday, but was stopped by Tan Yuliang's son Tan Cheng with a fire attack, killing and wounding nearly 20 people, and the state soldiers withdrew to the bottom of the mountain...... Gao Shao said.

Through Diao Blind and others, the tactics that Xuzhou can think of for the rebel army according to local conditions can already be said to be extremely effective.

However, the problem is that the Sizhou soldiers have also been greatly tempered when they attacked the Wu bureaucracy Fanzhai for more than a year, and the rebel army's tactical innovation, or the use of tactics according to local conditions, has only temporarily stopped the Sizhou soldiers at the foot of the mountain, but has not been able to recreate the Sizhou soldiers.

Another problem was that the rebels gathered all the women and children into a few core villages, and Tan Yuliang failed to persuade Dong Tai, Zhang Guangdeng, Lang Sandao and other rebel generals to agree to evacuate the women and children deeper into Panlongling.

Han Qian's tactical and strategic vision of organizing hundreds of elite combat forces to break out of the encirclement of Sizhou soldiers to fight guerrillas and continue to expand their influence on the periphery could not be realized.

Tan Yuliang is currently the leader of the rebel army, but the rebel generals generally oppose the separation from women and children, and they are also very unfamiliar with guerrilla tactics.

According to the current mentality of the rebel army, they mainly want to occupy a few core stockades that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and fight offensive and defensive battles with the encirclement and suppression of soldiers and horses.

Of course, this is also the influence and continuation of traditional tactical thinking.

In fact, even if the Sizhou soldiers are not elite enough, this is a big problem.

More than 20,000 old and weak women and children of the rebel army were trapped in Panlongling, so many people ate and drank Lazar, and they could hold on for a month or two, but after three or five months of siege, the outer encirclement became closer and closer, and the contact between the rebel army and the outside world was cut off, how to ensure the follow-up material supply?

Xuzhou could not directly control the rebel army, and the influence of Tan Yuliang and Diao Blind on the rebel army was also limited, there was no condition to conduct general tactical and command training for the rebel army generals, and the battalion system could not be straightened out, so the situation was somewhat overwhelmed.

Han Qian stood in front of the case, pondered for a while, then spread out the paper and ink with a solemn expression to draft the order, handed it to Gao Shao and said: "The second and third battalions stationed in Longya City and Linjiang County, as well as the second water battalion stationed in Yanji Village, will rush to Chenzhong to accept the dispatch before noon tomorrow!" ”

In order to control military expenditures, the state battalion was composed of seven battalions of horse cavalry and naval troops, each with 400 soldiers.

In addition to the cavalry battalion stationed in Chenzhong, which was also the guard before, only half a month ago was assembled, and the 800 slave soldiers who were trained by Xi Fa'er, Han Bao and others were stationed in the military camp in the north of Longya Mountain in the south - a battalion of sailors who were previously stationed in Chenzhong was also transferred by Han Qian to Yanji Village between Qianyang and Chenyang a month ago.

Now that Han Qian has transferred the two infantry battalions stationed in Longya City and Linjiang County in the south, as well as the second water battalion that was previously transferred to Yanji Village, the number of soldiers in Chenzhong County will increase to 1,600, plus the 800 Zhai slave soldiers who have just completed the formation and can walk the team but have not yet been issued weapons.

"?" Feng Yi asked.

"Chenzhou beware of Xuzhou, at this time, a thousand elite soldiers of the Chenzhou Fan Battalion have entered, and Xuzhou is on guard against them, what can't be said?" Han Qian said, "You go to see Fu Gengwen, Yang Hu, and Xi Shepeng tomorrow morning, and say that I will personally lead 2,000 soldiers and horses, escort them across the border to Hujian Pass, and ask An Jixiang to accompany you to enjoy the scenery on both sides of Chenshui - tonight, you will distribute the weapons to the hands of the slave soldiers......"
