Text Chapter 176 Conditions

(PS: I have something to ask for leave tomorrow)

Han Qian spread out everything and said that Yao Xishui and Li Chong looked at each other for a long time.

King Liang Yong secretly entered Wancheng, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses that the Liang army was marching from Fangcheng to Wancheng at this time were probably the most elite Xuanjia capital of Liang State, which was a great crisis for Dachu, but for the Longque Army of Linjiang Houfu, it was not an unspeakable opportunity?

If the third prince led the dragon bird army to hold the Danjiang River, the huge prestige he won would make him officially qualified to compete with the crown prince and the king of Xin, not to mention many other practical benefits.

What's more, with such a crucial piece of information concealed, it is impossible for the Dragon Bird Army to find an excuse to withdraw, and it is even more impossible for the Dragon Bird Army to withdraw if Du Chongtao and others are truthfully informed.

After all, it was impossible for Da Chu to give up the entire Jingxiang region.

In the end, it could only be that the three princes were arranged in a relatively safe place, and the Dragon Sparrow Army had to fight on top.

Therefore, no matter what, they are bound to give it a go.

Of course, Yao Xishui wanted to understand this, and he also knew better why Han Qian suddenly changed his attitude towards them.

In addition to Han Qian's expectation that Zhoushu's troops could participate in the defense along the Danjiang River, more importantly, the Liang army completely controlled the Jingxiang region, and the north bank of the Yangtze River, Jinling would also be unable to control Tanzhou.

Even if Tanzhou does not set up a banner, it will be de facto independent, and then Tanzhou will directly control the Chenxu Prefectures without consultation and expand its hinterland.

In fact, Han Qian had fewer options than them.

"I'll go see Chai Jian." Yao Xishui gritted her teeth and said, in the end, it was Chai Jian and her stepfather Zhang Ping who had to make the decision.

Li Chong nodded.

In any case, they have invested too many resources in the Dragon Bird Army, even if Li Zhihe's betrayal has caused them heavy losses, it is better than the total annihilation of the Dragon Bird Army.

"Since that's the case, then without further ado," Han Qian stood up and asked Yao Xishui to leave first, but after he stood up, he pondered for a while and said, "Maybe it's better for me to go with Miss Yao to see Lord Chai, so I don't have to run back and forth." ”

"It's best to ...... this," Yao Xi subconsciously responded, but suddenly thought that Han Qian didn't actually think it was difficult to convince them, and even thought of talking directly to Chai Jian and his father-in-law Zhang Ping, the reason why he called her and Li Chong over was that he didn't confirm whether the Evening Red Mansion had anything to do with Liang Guoguo.

Obviously, Li Zhihe didn't care what happened before, but he didn't tell Han Qian everything he knew.

If Han Qian had just confirmed that they were involved with Liang Guoguo, perhaps their first step out of this house would be when their heads landed.

"......" Yao Xishui didn't expect Han Qian's scheming to be so gloomy, and he actually set traps for them everywhere, and his apricot eyes glared angrily.

Han Qian ignored Yao Xishui's frightening eyes, found Tian Cheng, Xi Chang, Guo Nuer and others to tell him about things, and sent someone to inform Zhou Yi, so he called Zhao Kuo and asked Zhao Kuo to follow him to leave.

…………

…………

Chai Jian and Zhou Shu, the third general was stationed in the camp where Guo Liang was temporarily stationed and abandoned.

After Han Qian arrived, he asked Zhao Kuo to continue with two guards and rush to Xuzhou to deliver the letter, while he, Yao Xishui and others entered the camp of the third capital.

“……”

Zhou Shu and Chai Jian saw Han Qian stepping into their military camp with Yao Xishui, and they also looked at each other for a long time.

The third capital is waiting for Zhou Shu, the younger brother of Zhou Yuan, who joined the army, but he is much rougher than Zhou Yuan, who seems to be weak, and he is also a famous brave general in the army.

In fact, he and his brothers Zhou Yuan and Chai Jian were all descendants cultivated in the late Red Mansion, and then went to serve by Li Pu in the Xinchang Marquis Mansion, and Chai Jian married Li Pu's second daughter.

Li Zhihe was indeed the son of the former Li Yu and Li Pu's subordinates, and he was adopted by Li Pu after losing his father, and he was actually separated from the Late Red Mansion by one floor.

Zhou Shu was still with Chai Jian on the front foot of Li Zhihe and Han Qian's wolf ambitions, racking his brains to figure out how to clean up these two people, who would have thought that Han Qian would follow Yao Xishui into their military camp with Yao Xishui, and carry such terrifying news?

Although Han Qian had already burned the portrait that he had drawn for the first time, Chai Jian and Zhou Shu did not doubt his statement.

It's not that Yao Xishui has seen the portrait with his own eyes.

After all, the portrait doesn't mean anything, and the secret sent by Han Qian may have seen Zhu Yu, the king of Liang Yong, in other places.

It wasn't that Han Qian had the courage to step into their barracks and make them think so.

Only when King Liang Yong is in Wancheng can explain why the Liang army's vanguard first arrived and attacked Canglang City and Iron Crocodile Ridge at any cost.

The Liang army just doesn't have two inconspicuous places like Canglang City and Iron Crocodile Ridge, and the combat effectiveness and will of the defenders will be so strong.

When the Liang army kicked the iron plate, they quickly slowed down the offensive, Chai Jian and Zhou Shu once thought that the previous strong attack was the vanguard of the Liang army, and Han Yuan Qi was arrogant and underestimated the enemy, and only after kicking the iron plate did they know that they had to follow the normal steps.

Now it seems that all this should be due to the fact that Liang Jun realized that they had misjudged the combat strength of the Dragon Bird Army guarding Canglang City and the Iron Crocodile Ridge, and deliberately adjusted the rhythm to paralyze this side.

"Fighting, everyone is still a grasshopper on a rope, Zhou Jiang, Lord Chai, Han someone's suggestion, what do you two think?" Han Qian asked abruptly.

"Lord Han, do you really think that the past festivals don't exist anymore?" Chai Jianyin stared at Han Qian compassionately and asked.

"What were the past holidays?" Han Qian pretended to be stupid and asked, "Could it be that Lord Chai is still persuading me and Li to give up your control over His Highness?" Could it be that Lord Chai and Zhou Jiang are really narrow-minded, so that they can't understand the hard work of me and Li Jiang at this time? Could it be that Lord Chai didn't have the slightest luck at this time, and didn't think about how much the situation would have eroded if it hadn't been for me and Li to persuade you? ”

"......" Chai Jian was speechless, he really didn't expect Han Qian to be so upside down.

However, although Han Qian's original intention was not that he was so open-minded, Chai Jian had to admit that it was Han Qian and Li Zhihe who inadvertently destroyed Liang Jun's first step of conspiracy and thwarted Liang Jun's intentions, so that he had the opportunity now.

"If you can't let go of the old things at this time,"

Han Qian untied the saber on his waist, threw it on the table in front of Chai Jian with a "clang", and said,

"Today, I, Han Qian, can be regarded as self-defeating, if I want to kill or chop, please feel free."

Speaking of this, Han Qian got up again and walked over to take the saber back, turned around and handed it to Yao Xishui, and said, "You really hope that my blood will be spattered on the spot today, it is best to ask Miss Yao to do it, I can still leave a trace of beautiful thoughts for the time being." ”

Seeing Han Qian acting like this, Xi Ying felt that he was acting too exaggeratedly, and thought that if she was Yao Xishui, she would pull out a knife and poke this grandson in a hole.

Yao Xishui was so angry that her hands and feet trembled, and she really wanted to pull out a knife to poke this grandson.

"It's useless to say this, just as Lord Han said, we are all grasshoppers tied to a rope, and we should discuss how to deal with the future." Chai Jian has two points of general bearing, and he will not mess up the proportions of Han Qian with just a few words, so he still continues the topic at his own pace.

Han Qian smiled, tied the saber back to his waist, and said, "I said it all, I came to see Lord Chai and Zhou General, and I came to kill Ren and Chop, Lord Chai and Zhou General, please don't be polite." ”

"Except for Zuo Si and Xuzhou, Lord Han must no longer stretch his hand too long, and he must no longer destroy his trust in us in front of His Highness." Chai Jian said.

"Mr. Shen Yang doesn't want me to stretch my hand too long outside Zuo Si, this is really not difficult, but His Highness's trust still needs you to fight for it, I have nothing to do with other people's eggs, isn't it enough to hold on?" Han Qian said with a smile.

"This also means that the materials in Canglang City, except for those transported by Zuosi and Xuzhou, will be taken over by us, which also means that the copycat soldiers and horses need to be supervised by us, you have no opinion on these?" Chai Jian further clarified the conditions and said.

"It's easy to say this, but the materials that Zuo Si paid before, you have to settle and settle for me, otherwise the hole of more than 30 million dollars, Han Someone has not been able to fill it. In addition, the salt matter is also my painstaking work, I hope you don't fight with me - to tell the truth, there are about 40,000 cottage escapees hidden in the mountains and rivers of Junzhou, even if the salt is sold, it is only two thousand stones per year, at this time it is only of great use in leveraging the cottage forces, and I will cut the price of salt to below three thousand dollars per stone in the later stage, in fact, there is a surplus of two or three million dollars a year at most, just the livelihood of the boat gang, presumably you will not snatch this piece of meat from my mouth, right? Han Qian said.

If it weren't for Han Qian's own words, it would be hard to imagine that Zuo Si would have put more than 30 million yuan of materials along the Danjiang River.

However, Li Chong has been in Canglang City for the past few days, knowing that even if Han Qian is exaggerated, it is limited.

After all, the 6,000 stone salt that was transported from the Xiangzhou Salt and Iron Institute to Canglang City this time was all directly posted by the Linjiang Money Shop in Jinling with 10 million dollars to the Salt and Iron Transfer Envoy.

Han Qian used this batch of hoarded salt to persuade or tempt a large number of cottagers to join the war.

"The salt matter in the future can be indisputable, but at this time, the more than 5,000 stone salt hoarded in Canglang City, if they all belong to Zuo Si, the second brother is afraid that it will be difficult to control the recruitment of cottage troops - this batch of salt should also be in our hands, and the big deal is that the salt money advanced by Zuo Si before will be written off by Cangcao truthfully." Yao Xishui interjected, afraid that Chai Jian would not be able to see through the trap in Han Qian's words.

The materials subsidized by Zuo Si before are easy to calculate.

Since Chai Jian decided not to meddle in Zuo Si's affairs anymore, they can't embezzle Zuo Si's money and food at will, but how to account for the recent batch of 6,000 stone salt, which was personally guaranteed by the Third Prince and Shen Yang, and purchased by Zuo Si to recruit cottage Jianyong, has become the key.

What Han Qian meant just now was that if Chai Jian wanted to take over this batch of materials, he would have to settle the salt price of 3,000 yuan per stone to Zuo Si.

"It is said that women have long hair and short knowledge, if this battle is won, Brother Chai, Li Senjun, Zhou General and others, on how much reward they will get in the end for their military exploits. And I will give up the cottage recruitment, and I will have four or five hundred prisoners in my hands to use, you touch your chest and think about it, how much military merit have I given to you? Do you really want to negotiate with me about the salt profit of 10 million dollars? Could it be that I boiled several hairs white in order to do this before, and it is not worth such a little salt? Han Qian unceremoniously reprimanded Yao Xishui and said.

Zuo Si's deficit in the past few months has been too great, and the more than 30 million yuan collected and borrowed by Linjiang Qian Shop has been used up to him, if there is no salt profit of 10 million yuan to fill the deficit, Han Qian will also feel great pressure......
