Seeing Yang Qin jumping off the boat, the commander dragged the corpse of Xi Xue Tao ashore, Han Qian instructed Feng Yu behind him: "Prepare a good coffin and put the body of Xi Xue Tao up first." ”

In the past, Han Qian couldn't wait to hang the corpses of his brothers in Chenyang City or hang them on the flagpole in the city to expose the corpses for three months, and then he was thinking about the problems more deeply than before.

Although Zheng Hui himself is from a wealthy family, he is unlikely to be in Chenzhou to push land tax, Tuke nationality and other new policies, but in any case, if it is not necessary, there is no need to particularly stimulate the nerves of Tuhu households.

Han Qian also wondered if it was recommended that the corpses of Xiying's three sons and the families of Xi's family in Qianyang City be sent to Datanzhai by boat.

"When will you attack Yuanling? Attacking Yuanling, it's our turn to play the water camp, right? Yang Qin walked up to Han Qian and asked a little impatiently.

Han Qian "absconded" to Xuzhou and fought a few battles, all of which were infantry battalion soldiers charging in front, and in addition to harassing and blocking the waterway in the water camp over the years, it also sank three enemy ships in the afternoon, which can barely be regarded as a battle.

Yang Qin is completely not addicted to fighting.

Chenyang City is located on the west bank of Yuanshui, the south bank of Chenshui, backed by the hills at the northeast foot of Longya Mountain, and is the junction point between Chenzhou Prefecture Zhiyuan Lingcheng and the southeast town of Lipu.

The Wuling army occupied two places, Jiming Village and Chenyang City, controlled Chenshui, relied on Chenyang City, and cut off the Yuanshui River into the upper and lower reaches, which actually completely cut Chenzhou, which mainly relied on Yuanshui to communicate with the upstream and downstream counties.

If we continue to use troops, one option is to attack Datanzhai in the south and occupy the entire territory of Lipu County, and the other option is to attack Yuanling City in the north and seize the political, economic, and cultural center of Chenzhou.

From the perspective of operating Xuzhou, it is natural to attack Datanzhai in the south first and occupy the neighboring Lipu County of Qianyang County.

With more than one-third of Chenzhou's arable land and nearly half of its population, Lipu County is the only place in the middle and upper reaches of the Yuanjiang River that can meet the standards of Shangxian County.

Although Yang Qin was born as the leader of Shuizhai, he was forced to leave Jiangzhou with the Han family father and son two or three years ago, formed a boat gang to go north, and experienced the Jingxiang War, so his vision came up, and he knew that Xuzhou was still too small.

And if you really want to cooperate with the imperial court to clamp down on Tanzhou, you should send troops from Chenyang to attack Yuanling in the north, and only from Yuanling can you directly threaten the jurisdiction of Tanzhou.

From Chenyang to Yuanling, both sides of Yuanshui are mountains and cliffs, do not want to go over the mountains and mountains from the upper reaches of Chenshui, the waterway is the most convenient and fastest passage in and out of Yuanling.

It's the turn of the water camp to be the main force!

Looking at Yang Qin's eager mood, Han Qian smiled slightly, turned his head and saw Zhang Ping, Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang, who were disguised as men, coming over, and asked with a smile: "Yang Qin can't wait to ask Lord Zheng to ask for his life to attack Yuanling, when does Lord Zhang think we should attack Yuanling?" ”

Zhang Ping's left arm has been crippled, the sleeve tube is hanging empty, when he looks at the gurgling river, but with a little bit of a lonely brigade standing on the riverbank of the bleak feeling, he said in a deep voice: "Don't attack Yuanling, we will sit in Chenyang, lure Tanzhou soldiers and horses into Yuanling, maybe better." ”

During this time, Han Qian and Zhang Ping also got along day and night, and they knew him very well, so it was not difficult to guess that he would say so.

In Han Qian's opinion, in addition to Li Zhihe, Zhang Ping is probably the most insightful person in the Late Red Mansion, and his vision is completely above Chai Jian, Li Chong, Zhou Yuan and others, even if Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, is not as good as him.

He just didn't know how the Late Red Mansion could let such a person hide in the palace forbidden after being cleaned for so many years?

Or is it that Zhang Ping was originally born as a eunuch?

Thinking of this, Han Qian was slightly stunned, his doubts about the Evening Red Mansion in the past seemed to be suddenly torn open by this thought.

The true origin of the Late Red Mansion may be glimpsed from the origins of characters like Zhang Ping.

Yao Xishui was still sighing about the success of conquering Jiming Village and Chenyang City, seeing that Han Qian was quite moved by his father-in-law's words, he should have thought the same in his heart, and asked in surprise: "Don't attack Yuanling, lure Tanzhou soldiers and horses to settle in Yuanling?" ”

"We are mainly from the southwest to contain Tanzhou, does Miss Yao think that after we defeat Ruanling, it is better to contain a part of the Tanzhou soldiers and horses in Wuling County to defend us, or is it more advantageous to directly introduce a part of the Tanzhou soldiers and horses into Yuanling to contain us?" Han Qian asked with a smile.

The introduction of Tanzhou soldiers and horses into Yuanling can lengthen the defensive line of Tanzhou, so that the imperial court will attack Tanzhou from Ezhou, Jingzhou and Hongzhou, and Tanzhou will be more clumsy in coping.

In order to prevent Xuzhou, the Chenzhou forces gathered the main soldiers and horses and military supplies to the southern front, and the Tanzhou soldiers and horses were stationed in Yuanling at this time, so they needed to transfer grain and straw materials from the rear, which would further aggravate the shortage within Tanzhou.

In addition, although the Wuling army captured Jiming Village, Chenyang City, and controlled the entire territory of Chenyang quite smoothly, and annihilated the main force of Chenzhou soldiers in Laoyaao and Qixingpo, the soldiers were really brave and belligerent, so that the Wuling army still accumulated thousands of casualties on such a dominant battlefield.

The forces surnamed Chenzhou did not surrender, and Xiang Jianlong, Yang Zaili and others would not be completely without thought in Xuzhou, relying only on the three or four thousand soldiers and horses of the Wuling Army, it was difficult to control the entire territory of Chenzhou and Syria at the same time, and then to contain a part of the elite combat power of Tanzhou.

At this time, not only was it not appropriate to storm Yuanling, Han Qian even felt that there was no need to rush to storm Datan Village, there was no need to rush to take the entire territory of Lipu County, they just had to firmly control Chenyang City for the time being.

Through the old dragon head, it is also more convenient to transport soldiers, horses, and materials from the south of Longya Mountain.

If Jinling didn't dare to categorically cut down Tanzhou at this time, and wanted to continue to squeeze the potential of the Wuling army, Han Qian felt that such a court really had no aftertaste of loyalty.

Han Qian and Zhang Ping exchanged views, and then went to see Zheng Hui together.

Zheng Hui also knew that it was not advisable to excessively squeeze the potential of the Wuling Army, the chips in their hands were too few and too small, they could only win and not lose, and even if they were slightly frustrated, the local surnames in the territory would be ready to move, and if they were not careful enough, it would be a tragic ending from which they could never recover.

Han Qian said that the corpses of Xiying's three sons would be sent to Datanzhai, and Zheng Hui also agreed.

"Please ask the three adults to allow the coffin to be transported to Da Tan Village." Xi Xunqiao pleaded in the council hall.

Han Qian was slightly stunned, looked at Xixunqiao and said: "Tanzhou is undecided, Xiying will never easily hand over Datanzhai and Lipu County to surrender at this time." ”

"Xiying is scheming, even if he won't give up Lipu County easily at this time, he won't kill me easily," Xixunqiao said, "And when I went to Datanzhai, I didn't think about persuading Xiying to surrender, I just wanted to persuade Xiying to stay still and wait and see how things changed!" ”

Han Qian looked at Zheng Hui and asked for his opinion, and nodded slightly.

Since Xixunqiao has the courage to go to see Xiying, if he can persuade Xiying to stay still, it will also be extremely beneficial to them.

The potential of Lipu is too great, and if Xiying continues to squeeze it, he will still be able to gather two or three thousand soldiers, and even large Hakka families will send troops and food under the threat of strong force.

They didn't want to storm Datanzhai at this time, but Xiying sent troops from Datanzhai to attack Chenyang, Wukou and even Qianyang City, and they undoubtedly had to bear great pressure.

Being able to persuade Xiying to stay still will undoubtedly allow them to concentrate their forces and better attract and contain the Tanzhou soldiers and horses who entered Yuanling.

Chenxu Mountain Yue Fanmin, and lack of people of insight like Xixunqiao, but the lack of a stage for its play, and there is no lack of brave generals like the Tiger Wash, but a lack of commanders who can control it well.

Han Qian recently sorted out the historical fragments in his dream, and found that when the Central Plains was shattered by the Liang and Jin wars, there was a very strong Shanyue surname in southwest Hunan and central Guizhou, which once divided the upper reaches of Yuanshui and ruled for hundreds of years, until four or five hundred years later, when the land was reformed and returned to the stream, it was completely integrated into the rule of the central power.

Han Qian also didn't know whether there would be stronger heroes in Jingzhou and even the upper reaches of Qianzhong Prefecture in the future, but he believed that the historical trend of Chenxu and the two states had been reversed by him to a certain extent.

"Since Xunqiao is willing to go to Da Tan Village to lobby Xiying, then I will go to Jiming Village now and widen the post road from Jiming Village to Longya City!" Han Qian said.

If Xiying had been persuaded by Xixunqiao to agree to stay in Da Tan Village, in order to show his sincerity, the water camp warships would not have been able to pass through the Yuanshui River in front of Da Tan Village, so as not to irritate Xi Ying's sensitive and fragile nerves.

In that case, pass through this old post road in Dragon's Tooth City and hand over the main lifeline that maintains the connection between Xuzhou and Chenyang.

Zheng Hui and Zhang Ping commanded the troops in Qianyang City to contain the enemy army, and Han Qian was in charge of logistics and heavy matters, so he naturally had to be more busy at this time.

"If Lord Han doesn't dislike it, can you take a look at the mountains and rivers on the northern slope of Longya Mountain with Lord Han?" Yao Xishui's beautiful eyes stared at Han Qian and asked.

Han Qian glanced at Yao Xishui, thinking that if Zhang Ping, who was over forty years old at this time, was a eunuch before he lurked in the palace, then what was the origin of Yao Xishui and Chun Thirteen Niang?

At Yao Xishui's age, when Da Chu Jianguo and the Late Red Mansion appeared in Jinling, she was only four or five years old, and Chun Thirteen Niang, even if she was older at the time, was only eight or nine years old, what was their origin?

Or is it purely an orphan girl abducted or adopted from elsewhere by the Late Red Mansion and the Marquis of Xinchang?

"What, Lord Han doesn't want to?" Yao Xishui saw that Han Qian was silent for a while, and asked again.

Han Qian was slightly stunned and said, "Miss Yao is not too hard, then come with me." ”

During this time, Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang lived in Longya City with Zhang Ping, and showed great interest in the repair of Wuliuxi watershed weir and Longya City, and the implementation of the Tuke nationality and the new tax on acres of land in Xuzhou.

Han Qian didn't care whether Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang were secretly learning anything, so he took them to say goodbye to Zheng Hui and Zhang Ping together and returned to Jiming Village.
