Zhou Qinian didn't dare to make an assertion, so he first sent someone to Yueyang five hundred miles to hurry to report the matter to Huanghua, and four days later, Huanghua's reply came back - there are land post roads from Jinling to Yueyang, and there are post shops every thirty miles, so it is more convenient to send a message - Zhou Qinian wants to visit Zhou Yuan's mansion in a private name to see what Lu Qingxia's intentions are.

The two brothers, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Shu, were both generals of the Marquis of Xinchang at the beginning of their careers, and then gradually became reused with the rise of the Dragon Bird Army. After the fall of the Great Chu Naval Division, on the surface, it was also the two brothers who decisively turned the flag, acted on the edict of the Queen Mother, became the Queen Mother's party, and maintained their power.

The mansion of the two brothers, next to Li Zhihe's mansion in Jinling, has a high-walled compound, which is not so much extravagant as it is more like a solid fortress.

Zhou Yuan said that it was Wenchen, but Zhou Qinian rushed over to meet him, and when he entered the room, he saw that the guards with knives in the Zhou family's mansion could be seen everywhere, which made him frown.

Zhou Qinian still subconsciously dislikes Zhou Yuan, a character who is full of yin party palace and lust for power.

Zhou Yuan waited for Zhou Qinian to come to the door in the past two days, welcomed him into the elegant room, and entered the theme straightforwardly, saying: "In the current situation, the Queen Mother does not dare to lightly order Chai Jian to lead the Zuo Shenwu army to attack Wuguan, but Han Qian's ill-intentioned intentions are really hateful, presumably Mr. Zhou never wants to see his ambition succeed, right?" ”

"But I don't know what kind of good plan Lord Zhou has?" Zhou Qinian picked up the teacup, looked at the layout in the room, and asked quietly.

"In the past six months, the government and the opposition have advocated the expansion of the guards and pro-army, but under the control of many parties, it is difficult to do it, doesn't Mr. Zhou think it's a pity?" Zhou Yuan asked.

"It's a pity, but it doesn't seem that I can negotiate with Lord Zhou in private." Zhou Qinian said.

The expansion of the guards and pro-army dragged on until this time, and there was no actual progress, it was nothing more than that all families were trying to compete for the command of the newly expanded guards and pro-army - the Cishou Palace had always strongly recommended Li Xiu to be the commander of the capital, which was a condition that the Huang family could not accept.

Zhou Qinian couldn't understand for a while what Zhou Yuan's intention to bring up this matter had to do with Han Qian's abduction of the Wen clan.

"Why does Mr. Zhou think we can't come up with a result?" Zhou Yuan asked with a smile.

Zhou Qinian's mind moved, and he asked, "What do you say?" ”

"The Marquis of Jiangyin is familiar with military books, serving in the guards and pro-army, and the rigorous management of the army has been praised by the courtiers, if he leads the new guards and pro-army to go out to Guanzhong, I think there will be less controversy inside and outside the court." Zhou Yuan said.

Zhou Qinian had to admit that what Zhou Yuan said was a very heartwarming suggestion.

Since Han Qian secretly controls the Wen clan, the main force of the Xiangbei Army will not dare to act easily, and it is necessary to guard against Han Qian's hidden dissent, but the Empress Dowager and her family seem to be determined to join forces with the Shu army to attack Guanzhong, so from the new formation of a new army and horses, led by the current queen's elder brother, Jiangyin Marquis Huang Shu to attack Wuguan, the resistance inside and outside will naturally be much less - the expansion of the guard army is almost a goal pursued by many forces except Huaidong and Tangyi.

The key to this matter depends on the attitude of the Huang family.

The head of the family, Huang Hua, is currently the Hunan Propaganda Envoy, and Zheng Hui sent troops to clear the Yongzhou rebels in Shaoheng, which is inseparable from the strong support of the Hunan Propaganda Envoy

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

At this time, it was Huang Shu who led his troops to attack Wuguan, and the Zheng clan naturally would no longer strongly oppose it.

And Huang Xi, as the queen's own brother back then, served as the new commander of the guards after Guo Liang and Zhang Chao, at least under the current circumstances, no one would doubt that the Huang family would have any dissent to the imperial court.

As far as Emperor Yanyou is concerned, it is impossible to be wary of the Huang family at this time.

Even if there are worries about the future of relatives who are big and difficult to balance, but how many years later, at least for now, Huang Wei is a more acceptable candidate.

Seeing that Zhou Qinian was deep in thought, Zhou Yuan said again: "Of course, the timing of the attack on Guanzhong is not waiting for anyone, and it is impossible for the new guards and pro-army to directly recruit new soldiers from the military government of the camps for training, but they can directly transfer a soldier and horse from the left and right guards and the forbidden army of all departments to be incorporated into the new army - and the vacancies caused by the pro-army of the left and right guards and the forbidden army of the various departments can be requisitioned and transferred from the military government of the cantonment camp to complete the new soldiers, Mr. Zhou thinks this arrangement is good?" ”

When the guards were formed, the generals were all elite soldiers and horses from various departments, and their families were relocated to the cantonment military palace near Gyeonggi; At the beginning, the Huzhou soldiers were recruited into the guards and the pro-army as the most soldiers.

In this way, a new guard pro-army, among which there are a large number of veterans from Huzhou, Huang Xi will be handy when he is in charge; And the Huang family also has no shortage of generals and officials who can assist Huang Shu in managing the army and fighting.

With such conditions, Zhou Qinian also knew that it was impossible for the Huang family not to be moved.

"That's all?" Zhou Qinian stared at Zhou Yuan and asked.

"After Li Xiu was the king of the county, His Majesty praised him as a famous general, and I think Li Xiu should be qualified to serve as the deputy commander of the capital or the military Sima to assist the Marquis of Jiangyin; This is also convenient for us to give an explanation to the Marquis of Linjin and to the spirit of the prince of the county who is loyal to Da Chu. Zhou Yuan said.

Zhou Qinian was a little hesitant.

To tell the truth, among the court, there are many people who criticize Li Pu, but Li Yu made great contributions to Dachu back then, and handed over his military power when he was at the height of his power, and was willing to retire to the countryside, and the vast majority of people saw it.

If it weren't for Li Xiu's generals who led the county prince's mansion to go out of the mountain again and get too close to the Empress Dowager Li Pu's family, there would be no resistance for him to serve as the commander of the new guard and pro-army.

Now people are retreating to the next best thing, just asking to be the deputy commander of the capital, which seems to be a little aggrieved.

From a realistic point of view, even if the Chu army attacked Wuguan from Junzhou, compared to the Shu army's attack on Guanzhong from Liangzhou, it can only be regarded as a partial army, but the use of troops has always been a dangerous thing, and the newly formed guard army has an excellent general like Li Xiu to join, which cannot be regarded as a bad thing.

Seeing that Zhou Yuan had no other conditions, Zhou Qinian sat for a while and then left.

…………

…………

Zhou Yuan sent Zhou Qinian out of the mansion and walked back to a small courtyard in the northeast corner of the mansion, but saw Yao Xishui and Chun Thirteen Niang sitting under the moonlight, looking at the osmanthus tree next to the pavilion where the stamen had fallen to the ground.

Seeing Zhou Yuan coming over, Yao Xishui asked, "Have you explained everything to Zhou Qinian?" ”

"......" Zhou Yuan told the truth about the situation when he met with Zhou Qinian just now.

Yao Xishui asked Zhou Yuan uncertainly: "Will Huanghua agree with our suggestion?" ”

In the matter of Chenzhou, Yao Xishui was hit hard, and now many things seem hesitant and uncertain.

"King Xin is unruly, and Han Qian has exposed such great ambitions, so replace me

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

If it is Huanghua, he will do everything possible to regain control of the army, in case the situation changes in the future," Zhou Yuan said, "Even if Huanghua does not agree, the Jiangdong family clan lords are increasingly afraid of Han Qian, will they agree to Huanghua give up such an opportunity to regain control of the guards?" ”

Huang Hua is sophisticated and sleek, but he has always been the representative of the Jiangdong family, and he must take into account the interests of the Jiangdong family.

Although in the later period of the Jinling Incident, the Jiangdong family clan lords did not have a violent conflict with Han Qian, and the Chishan army did not really invade Jiangdong, it does not mean that the Jiangdong family clan lords were not vigilant against Han Qian, who implemented new policies in Tangyi and Xuzhou.

At present, all forces are directly in control of elite soldiers and horses, such a moment of chaos, the internal instability of Great Chu is also extremely unstable, Zhou Yuan and they are worried that when the Liang army is divided and unable to contain Great Chu, Han Qian may take the lead in launching a civil war, and he does not think that the Jiangdong family clan will be able to sleep soundly at this time.

And Huang Xi led the newly formed guard army, and the new guard army was mainly responsible for cooperating with the Shu army to attack Guanzhong, Zhou Yuan also thought that this was the least resistance.

Even Shen Yang, Yang En and others are unlikely to strongly oppose it anymore.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan sighed lightly again and said, "What is really a headache now is Tangyi!" ”

Hearing Zhou Yuan say this, Yao Xishui's pretty and tender face suddenly became gloomy like a dark cloud, of course, at this moment, she still had a sense of powerlessness in her heart.

They plan so much and are so thorough, but they are always and everywhere subject to Tangyi, and every time they can make Tangyi take advantage of it, so that they have to compromise and trade with other forces, so as not to make the situation completely unfavorable to them, in other words, whose heart will be comfortable?

"By the way, Xu Jing sent a message yesterday, saying that Wang Ji went to Luoshan three days ago to discuss the division of defense between the two armies on the northern front, and went to Luoshan City to observe the movement of the enemy. At the beginning, Xu Jing and the others saw that it was indeed Han Qian's letter of persuasion, and they didn't pay much attention to it, but when Wang Ji opened his bow and shot arrows, it seemed to be attached to other letters, and it was too late to stop it at that time. In a hurry, a dispute broke out, and in the end, it was inconvenient to detain the person and put Wang Ji back in Huangchuan. Zhou Yuan thought of one more thing, and said to Yao Xishui and Chun Thirteen Niang.

Hearing this, Yao Xishui couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes several times.

Although she also knew in her heart that she really wanted to detain Wang Ji, it was undoubtedly an excuse for Han Qian to directly increase troops to the front line of Huangchuan to interfere in the battle situation in Luoshan, but thinking that Han Qian actually instructed someone to openly bring the secret letter written by Wen Duqiao into the city in front of the generals of the Xiangbei Army, she was also angry for a while.

"Wen Bo wouldn't really believe that Han Qian would let him go of the Wen family's father and son, right?" Chun Thirteen Niang asked suspiciously, "Even if he accepts the surrender, he shouldn't be more inclined to the Tangyi army!" And he thinks that the Wen clan is safe, even if they don't want us more, they should remain neutral. In my opinion, Han Qian's bravado should be ignored, and the Zuo Shenwu army should attack Wuguan as originally planned......"

"The key is not to know what means Han Qian used to persuade Wen Duqiao and the Wen clan to obediently cooperate with them to escape from Xuzhou, now the situation in all aspects is delicate, it is better to be careful in everything, and it is not harmful to use Huang Xuan to lead the new army." Zhou Yuan said.

Over the years, they have never taken advantage of Xuzhou and Tangyi, where does Zhou Yuan still have the confidence of Chun Shisanniang, completely ignoring Tangyi's motives and schemes and doing his own thing?
