Han Qian just returned to the Wujinling camp last night, woke up early in the morning, looked at the morning light outside the window, thought that the weather should not be bad today, got up and disposed of a large number of official letters piled up a few days ago, and pulled Wang Jun out of the camp before noon, to Shenjiajiyan, to see the willow trees that were transplanted after last autumn to draw green.

A few days will be Qingming, the mountains will warm up very quickly, take off the jacket and don't feel a few days, under the bright sun, wear a single shirt to travel, do not feel cool.

The slope and cliff are green, and some fine flowers grow, although they are not gorgeous, and they slowly walk to the Shenjiaji weir, but they feel that it is a good time for spring in the mountains.

The Shenjiaji weir was built in two installments on the site of the ice dam that burst last year and hit the enemy camp.

The dam is built with a width of two zhang and a height of six feet - there is no shortage of stones in the mountain, in order to save trouble and rush the work, they are directly dismantled and transported from the stockade in the mountain, saving the extremely labor-intensive process of quarrying - intercepting a mountain lake with a depth of more than three zhang and a width of 300 steps to three miles, extending seven miles to the south on the inner side of the Wujin Canyon.

Huaiyang County is built on the valley mound on the south side of Shanhu Lake, which can not only add tens of thousands of acres of watering land and improve the irrigation water for spring plowing in the fields along the river, but also make the three main tributaries of the upper reaches of the Nanqishui River have navigable conditions.

After the construction of this weir dam, only a small number of garrisons need to be arranged here, which completely eliminates the possibility of the Shouzhou army attacking Huaiyang Mountain from the south of the Nanqishui River Valley; Unless they dare to risk being hit by the water again.

In addition to the garrison, the households on the northeast slope of Huaiyang Mountain were evacuated and transferred for a year, and the number of people in Dingkou dropped to more than 80,000, and cultivated land resources were no longer as scarce as before.

In addition to the construction of two iron mines and three coal and stone yards, the mountain is rich in medicinal materials, wild tung oil trees and tea tree resources.

Smelting workshops, agricultural tool casting workshops, lime cellars, brick cellars, oil mills, soap workshops, weaving and military clothing workshops and so on were also built during the construction of Huaiyang County, forming a basic industrial system for Huaiyang County, and initially accommodating the surplus labor force of thousands of people, expanding the scale of material production on the northeast slope of Huaiyang Mountain.

The next step is to focus on strengthening the construction of the eight new township divisions and strengthening the rule over the hinterland on the northeastern slope of Huaiyang Mountain.

Han Qian and Wang Jun circled the weir dam, and when they were about to rush back to the tooth tent for lunch, Han Bao's two secret letters from them in Dingzhou were sent to the Wujinling camp almost at the same time.

Only three of the twelve carrier pigeons carried north by Huo Li and Wang Zhe successfully flew back, but the two most critical secret letters were not missing, especially the second secret letter, with Shen Peng and Princess Yunhe's custody, explained the crisis faced by Heshuo at this time in more detail, which was very lucky.

Tian Cheng, Guo Rong, Feng Yi, Xi Fa'er, Han Donghu and others were all elsewhere, panting and hurrying over, Han Qian was sitting in front of the porch and swallowing vegetables and rice to satisfy his hunger, his mouth was full of things, and he vaguely pointed to the two secret letters in front of the case, asking them to read them first.

"......" had read the secret letter, even though they had speculated that the remnants of Shenling Si Heshuo might collude with the Northern Fugitive Clan, and even secretly attached themselves to the Mengwu people for a long time, but after getting the exact news at this time, Feng Yi and Guo Rong couldn't help but gasp.

Feng Yu said with extremely complicated emotions:

"Zhu Yu can't escape this catastrophe. Zhu Rang may not have such courage, but Liang Shixiong was too ruthless and directly sent his son and Zhu Rang's son to Dingzhou as hostages, which was really beyond everyone's expectations! ”

At this time, Wang Yan, who was in charge of Han Qian's office, panted and came over with a pair of scrolls, and everyone started to spread the scrolls on the long case, but it was a topographic map of Heshuo and Hedong Ancient County.

Even if Liang Guomi's secret room successfully sent the news from Dingzhou City, there was no fast and effective means of emergency communication, and the main passage was under the control of the Chengde army, and it would take only four to five days to cross the steep mountains of Taihang Mountain on the north side of Jingcheng with only manpower, and it would take four to five days to reach Zhu Yu's camp under Luzhou City.

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

And Zhu Yu led the main force of the Liang army to force the city of Luzhou, one hundred and ninety miles to the south is the city of Zezhou, from the city of Zezhou more than 100 miles, and then over the southern foot of the Taihang Mountain, is the territory of Weizhou across the river from Bianjing.

In other words, even if Zhu Yu received the news in time, from this moment on, it would be seven or eight days at the earliest before it was possible to send the first batch of elite cavalry to Weizhou.

However, it is very likely that the Mengwu cavalry has entered the territory of Dingzhou today, and it will only take three days to enter the territory of Weizhou in terms of galloping 200 miles day and night, and it will only take three days to join the troops with Zhu Rang - the Mengwu cavalry does not need to consider the defenders of Zhaozhou and Qizhou, and can get supplies and footholds in Weizhou, and then stick to the westward gallop road at the southeast foot of Taihang Mountain, and two days later can block the mountain pass of Zhu Yuyan's elite out of the southern foot of Taihang Mountain.

If Zhu Rang had been more bold, he would have sent troops directly to the west today, and in three or four days, he would have been able to take Weizhou by surprise, and then block the passes of Yiguan, Taihang, and Baicheng.

The main force of the Liang army was under the leadership of Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang, and even if the army's morale collapsed immediately, the road back to the south would be blocked.

At this time, the main force of the Liang army could only advance westward along the Fenshui River Valley, cross the Yellow River at Hejin (Longmen), and withdraw into the territory of Hancheng County, the ancient county of Guanzhong on the west bank (the Yellow River is between Guanzhong and Hedong, which flows north-south), in order to be slightly safer, after all, Zhu Yu operated Guanzhong for three years before usurping the throne, and Luoyang, which can be said to be the foundation of Zhu Yu, where it is possible that the generals who should rebel against Zhu Rang, the king of Liang He, and Liang Shixiong will not have the upper hand.

And from Hancheng County to the south to Tongguan, and then from Tongguan to send troops, through the Hangu Pass east into Luoyang, the twists and turns are 500 miles, and there are many mountains and rivers in the middle, the post road is narrow, and it is not conducive to the rapid dispatch of soldiers and horses.

Even if there are no soldiers and horses to intercept this way, even if Zhu Yu's subordinates and generals work together and there is no chaos, and the guards of all the cities along the way are also loyal to Zhu Yu, and there is no problem with the supply of grain and grass, Zhu Yu will lead the elite cavalry to Luoyang by this road, and it will be at least half a month later.

From this moment on, it should be twenty days later.

At that time, let alone Luoyang, Feng Yi and the others estimated that even Hangu Pass might have fallen into the hands of Liang Shixiong and Zhu Rang's rebels.

The crowd soon deduced a general idea of the possible development of the situation in Heshuo and the Central Plains.

At this time, Han Qian had just eaten a bowl full of rice with a few slices of bacon, and was wiping the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with his hand, Feng Yu subconsciously asked, "Your Excellency doesn't really want to send someone to Zhongli City to deliver news to Chen Kuntong, right?" ”

"Shouldn't it?" Han Qian asked rhetorically.

Feng Yi pondered for a moment and said: "After Liang Shixiong and Zhu Rang led the rebels and united with the Mengwu cavalry to occupy Bianluo, Zhu Yu was trapped in Guanzhong, Han Yuanqi and Chen Kun were alone in Xu Si, and Xu Mingzhen was in a dilemma, they may not be able to distinguish the winner in three or five years, this situation is the most beneficial to Dachu and the most beneficial to Tangyi......

In any case, Liang Guo has always been the biggest enemy that everyone faces.

If you can dismember the Liang State first and eliminate this great enemy, even if Huaidong and Xiangbei will follow in the process and gain great benefits, but in any case, it is also the most beneficial for Tangyi.

And at this time, they sent someone to find Chen Kun to report the news, not to mention that this would fall into the criticism of being accused of collaborating with the enemy by the government and the opposition, would Chen Kun believe them with just a secret letter?

And even if Chen Kun believes them, will he give up Haozhou?

Chen Kun's troops were foot soldiers, and it was unrealistic to rush to Bianjing to drive Liang Shixiong before the Weizhou rebels, and he would most likely inform Han Yuanqi to lead the cavalry from Xuzhou to aid Bianjing, while he could choose to stay in Haozhou for the time being.

Taking a step back, even if Chen Kun gave up Zhongli City, they still couldn't speculate on Xu Mingzhen's reaction at this time.

In addition, they could not be sure that Han Yuanqi would be able to expel Liang Shixiong from Bianjing City before the Weizhou rebels arrived, waiting for Zhu Yu to lead the main force

Return.

Liang Shixiong was in Bianjing at this time, and there were not many descendants who could be called by him, and after launching a mutiny, he had to suppress other soldiers and horses near Bianjing who supported Liang Emperor Zhu Yu, but Liang Shixiong was a famous general of the Great Liang, and he had been secretly planning this for a long time.

In Feng Yi's view, it is most advantageous for them to choose to sit back and watch the complete collapse and chaos of the Liang Kingdom, and if they choose to report to Chen Kun, there are too many variables and it is too difficult to control.

Feng Yi looked at Tian Cheng, Guo Rong and the others, seeing that they were silent and did not speak, and knew that they were also more inclined to his opinion.

Han Qian was not busy convincing others, and looked at Wang Jun: "What do you think?" ”

"At this time, you shouldn't sit back and watch the chaos in Liang Realm, but just with this secret letter written by Shen Peng and Princess Yunhe, how to win the trust of Chen Kun and Han Yuanqi is also a big problem?" Wang Jun frowned and said.

"Then you can only gamble," Han Qian stood up with his hands in his hands, looked at Feng Yi and the others who were still trying to persuade with blazing eyes, and said in a gentle tone, but there was no doubt about it, "It seems that the chaos in the Liang Kingdom is the most beneficial to Dachu and Tangyi, but have you ever thought that this will also leave plenty of time for the Mughurs to completely digest Heshuo and the ancient county of Hedong." When the time comes, which of you will be sure to occupy the Central Plains before the Mughal cavalry? In any case, after the Wei and Jin dynasties, the history of blood and tears that Hu Ma ravaged the Central Plains for 160 years cannot be repeated in my hands. The government and the opposition said that I was collaborating with the enemy, so they said that it would be better to go. ”

Hearing Han Qian say this, Feng Yu was also stagnant, standing there and looking down at the topographic map of Heshuo and groaning, he also had to weigh the possible changes in the overall situation of the world from a larger perspective.

Even when Emperor Liang was forced to withdraw his troops and flee westward, Luzhou did not fall, and the main force of the Jin army was almost disabled, not to mention that Shi Chengzu, the prince of Jin, and Shi Jiyuan, the king of Lu, were still in civil strife.

At this time, even if Wang Yuankui could not capture Luzhou City, he could still chase the main force of the Liang army, and then occupy Zezhou first and control this important town, which can be called the gateway to Heshuo.

The Liang State fell into a great chaos and had no time to take care of itself, and the Mugwu people took the Chengde army as the forerunner to eliminate the Jin State and occupy Hedong and Heshuo, which may only take two or three years at the shortest.

At that time, the civil strife in Liang did not subside, and the Mengwu cavalry could take advantage of the situation to go south, and at that time, could the Chu army be ready to compete with the Mengwu cavalry in the Hehuai Central Plains?

And if the civil strife in Liang subsides by then, the soldiers and horses of Great Chu will still be limited to the south of the Huai River and it will be difficult to go north, at most to recover the territory of Huaixi, which will not take much advantage, but the Mengwu people can continue to deeply digest the Hedong and Heshuo regions.

I didn't expect Wang Jun, a female streamer, to be able to see more thoroughly for the first time, Feng Yi was also embarrassed in his heart, but the most critical question at the moment was as Wang Jun said, how to win Chen Kun's trust, and how to persuade Chen Kun to honestly hand over Zhongli City?

Otherwise, it would be a great loss for them to send someone to ventilate the news.

"I will go to Zhongli City to see Chen Kun with the secret letter, I should be more sure than anyone else." Xi Ying said at this time.

"Mrs. Xi......" Guo Rong and Tian Cheng were all shocked, they knew that in order to win Chen Kun's trust, there must be enough people to go over in person to have a greater possibility, but all the men here are dignified men, and there is no reason for a woman and child to take this risk.

"Aren't Yun and Princess Yun under the control of Han Bao? I went over, even if Chen Kun didn't believe it, even if he didn't let Zhong Licheng go, he wanted to detain me, but it wouldn't embarrass me, and it was a big deal that you would take Yun and the princess to redeem me in the future,"

Seeing Han Qian frowning and trying to dispel her thoughts, Xi Ying said firmly,

"And at the meeting of Guishan back then, only me, General Tian, and General Zhao were present, and I met with Chen Kun and Han Yuanqi, and General Tian and General Zhao had to lead the troops and horses, is there a better candidate besides me? If you've made up your mind, I'll go, and I won't delay it any longer. ”
