After Yao Xishui met with Xinchang Hou Li Pu, he did not hide his whereabouts anymore, and rushed to the Feng family's secret village under the Beizhui Peak in the afternoon to meet Zhang Ping, and happened to meet Feng Xuan on the way and led Shang Hu to see Han Qian.

Shang Hu didn't know who Yao Xishui was, but Yao Xishui hid in the dark last night and saw Shang Hu and Shang Xi, the fifth son of the Shang family, boarding the painting boat, and knew that he was the Shang family's house slave.

Hearing Feng Xuan say that Shang Hu rushed to Maoshan to join the army before noon, Yao Xishui's wonderful eyes were full of suspicion, and he looked at the young man in front of him with a somewhat hideous expression.

Shang Hu was still in the city yesterday, but today he came to Maoshan alone to join the Chishan Army, Yao Xishui didn't know what happened to Shang Hu, how could she not be suspicious?

Yao Xishui thought to herself, could it be that after she left Lishui City yesterday, Shang Xi and Liu Zishu discussed some strategy to make Shang Hu around her pretend to come to Maoshan and then lead the Chishan Army into their trap?

Of course, Shang Hu came to join the army, but Feng Xuan brought him to Beichuifeng Zhuangyuan to see Han Qian as soon as possible, but Yao Xishui could understand the reason.

Before Emperor Tianyou entered Jinling to create the foundation of Great Chu, the Shang family and Xiao Liuyuan were the top families in the Shengzhou Jiedu Embassy.

Although Emperor Tianyou intended to suppress these four surnamed forces, the Shang family had no children who held important official positions in the court except for the head of the family, Shang Wensheng, who served as a minister in the court, but he could not ignore the Shang family's foundation in Jinling.

The crown prince Yang Yuanwu succeeded to the throne and set up his eldest son Yang Fen as the crown prince, intending to invite Shang Wensheng to serve as the prince's guest of Zheng Sanpin, in order to show the Anning Palace's attraction to the power of the old Jinling Dynasty gatekeepers, but Shang Wensheng was very slippery and recuperated in the house with illness.

At the time of the Jinling Incident, Shang Wensheng and his eldest son were in Jinling City at that time, and it was difficult to enter and exit at will after that, but except for some of the Shang clansmen, they fled to Lishui City for refuge, and more stayed in Shangjiabao.

Shang's has more than 2,000 hectares of fields and houses in Lishui, more than 5,000 servants, and Shangjiabao is located in the east Lushan of the south wing of Maoshan Mountain, which is Shang's home, although the scale is not as good as Lishui City, but the fortification of the defense will not be under the ordinary walled city.

The Shang family has more than 300 elite soldiers, who stayed behind in Donglu Mountain under the leadership of Shang Zhongjie, the second son of Shang Wensheng, and then selected the strong from the slaves, and there were almost thousands of guards.

To the south of Jinling, Shangjiabao may not be better than Lishui City and Pingcheng Mausoleum, which are garrisoned by two or three thousand soldiers and horses.

The Shang family had slaves and maids to vote, Feng Xuan brought it over to see Han Qian for the first time, Yao Xishui thought to himself that Han Qian was probably thinking about Shang Jiabao, right?

Zhang Ping was talking to Han Qian in the courtyard of Beichuifeng Village, and when he saw Yao Xishui walking in, he was slightly stunned for a while, and his expression returned to normal.

"Rushing from Yueyang to Jinling, this road is dangerous and difficult, even a strong man can't bear it, Miss Yao really misses me?" Han Qian's eyes were blazing, staring at Yao Xishui's pale and yellowish face after applying the potion.

He was not surprised by Yao Xishui's appearance, thinking that when Zhang Ping came to Xuzhou to deliver the decree, Yao Xishui and Chun Thirteen Niang did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to accompany him, how could they be missing this time?

Of course, Yao Xishui did not go with Zhang Ping and Lin Haizheng, Han Qian guessed that in addition to Yao Xishui's need to contact the people and horses lurking in Jinling in the Late Red Mansion alone, Zhang Ping's political tendencies were contrary to Lu Qingxia and Concubine Wang Chan'er and others, so he should not have won their trust, right?

"Father-in-law, they just left, but the concubine is really concerned about the development of the situation in Jinling, so I rushed over to take a look, Lord Han doesn't have to worry about what qualifications you have to point fingers," Yao Xishui responded coldly to Han Qian's ridicule, and then said to Zhang Ping, "I just went to Xiaomaofeng to see Master Hou, what Lord Hou means is that Lord Han is bent on recruiting slaves and maids into the army, he can't persuade him, but if there is anything that must be cooperated with them, they will do it - always get through the difficulties in front of them first." ”

Zhang Ping glanced at Yao Xishui suspiciously, and thought to himself, but as long as Li Pu didn't stand idly by, it couldn't be regarded as a bad thing after all.

Even if Yao Xishui said that she was coming on behalf of the concubine, Han Qian also left her in the meeting hall and asked Feng Xuan to bring in Shanghu, a slave of the Shang family who came to join the army at noon, for questioning.

"Shang Hu has been a slave in the Shang family for four generations, and usually waits by Shang Wensheng's nephew Shang Xi. Last night's letter was only introduced to Lishui City, Shang Hu and another Shang family slave saw the letter next to Shang Xi, discussing the matter of joining the army, perhaps Shang Xi listened, after going out of the city at night, Shang Xi took advantage of their unpreparedness, pulled out a knife and killed, another Shang family slave was unfortunately killed, Shang Hu fled into the field in a hurry, and survived. He walked back to Shangjiabao early in the morning, wanting to find Shang Wensheng's second son Shang Zhongjie to administer justice, but he didn't want his father to be arrested and tortured at night, beaten to death and hung on the castle. Feng Xuan's brief Dai Shanghu talked about what he suffered last night and the reason why he came to join the army alone.

"Alien Chi?" Han Qian snorted coldly, patted the table and said, "These slaves and maids just want to join the army to redeem themselves, hoping that future generations will not have to be slaves for generations. ”

Lin Haizheng, Zhao Wuji and the others present were from humble backgrounds, and their sympathy for Shang Hu's plight may be true, but Yao Xishui was disdainful in his heart, thinking that Han Qian's treatment of his slaves and maids in the past was not harsh? I secretly feel that Han Qian needs to tempt the slave to vote now, so he is so coy, right?

Of course, Yao Xishui didn't believe that what happened to Shang Hu was the truth, and even more suspected that this was a rhetoric made up by Shang Xi, Liu Zishu and others, after all, Shang Hu and her front and back feet to Maoshan were too coincidental, but she would not pierce it at this time, but secretly observed the words.

Shang Hu thought of what happened to him day and night, and there was panic and hatred in his heart, but more of a confusion and confusion, his face was slightly distorted, and the green tendons of his arms clenched into fists were exposed.

Han Qian saw the confusion and hatred in the eyes of the young man in front of him, and asked, "Are you full of puzzlement in your heart, you have been obedient to serving them for so long, and you only have a little idea of your own, why are you being poisoned like this?" ”

"......" Shang Hu raised his head in confusion, looking at Han Qian, who was not a few years older than him in front of him, and at the same time felt restrained by the identity of the two, and he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Family, I hope that you can be slaves for generations, so that their children and grandchildren, even if they are incompetent and lazy, can attach themselves to you and continue to suck blood, and enjoy glory and wealth without doing anything, and I hope that their children and grandchildren can exploit you and your children and grandchildren for generations. Therefore, they can't tolerate the thought of 'the prince will have a kind of Xiangning' in your heart—it will kill them, so once you breed such thoughts, they will become panicked, and they will do everything possible, even at the most cruel and brutal means, to extinguish all the unkind thoughts in your hearts," Han Qian pressed his hand on the table, leaned forward, and looked at Shang Hu with his eyes tight, and said, "But should you accept your fate?" ”

Han Qian's words not only made Shang Hu's pupils shine with blazing light, but also made Lin Haizheng, Feng Xuan, and Zhang Ping, who were sitting on the side, feel shocked when they heard it.

Yao Xishui was secretly shocked, looking at Han Qian in confusion, he didn't know what he wanted to do, did he want to instill such thoughts in every slave and maid who came to join the army? Aren't you afraid that one day you will set yourself on fire?

Han Qian asked Shang Hu about the situation in Shangjiabao for a while, and then asked someone to send him to the camp on the side of Damaofeng that specially recruited slaves to enlist in the army.

"What Shang Hu said may not be credible." Although Yao Xishui was happy to see Han Qian planting a heel and striking a blow to his arrogance, at this time, they were in Maoshan and Han Qian were grasshoppers tied to a rope, reminding him.

"Whether it is credible or not, Master Yuan and Guo Nu'er will be discerning!" Han Qian said.

Han Qian did not keep reading a lot of books in Longya Mountain, but thought deeply about the practical reference significance brought to him by the dream world, and how it was possible to realize his father's unsurpassed political ambitions and the most important "civilian social thought" in his father's political ambitions.

In fact, after Han Qian's situation was not so embarrassing, and he was no longer like a trapped beast trapped in a cage and desperately trying to break free, he was inevitably more affected by the dream world, and his mood was also transformed again and again.

In fact, this also helps him to understand some things in the dream world at a deeper level, so as to implement his practice of commanding and governing the army.

In the current army, in addition to the battalion commander, there was only one auxiliary post at the battalion level to reconnoiter scouts, but Han Qian also set up additional auxiliary posts such as joining the army and counselor military affairs at the battalion level, in order to form a complete command and governance system at the battalion level.

There are also some practical needs for doing this, that is, to recruit slaves and maids to the army, and in the future, it is necessary to move to the coastal areas of Taihu Lake in the east and to the Fuyu Mountains and Yishan (Huangshan) Mountains in the south.

Therefore, if Shang Hu is suspicious, he is the commander, the army and the military affairs counselor at the battalion level to be responsible for screening, not only will he not ask, but Lin Haizheng can't pay too much attention to it.

However, Han Qian's understatement, in Yao Xishui's opinion, was somewhat indifferent to contempt, she thought that she had fulfilled her obligation to inform, and asked Han Qian differently: "You specially summoned such an insignificant person over, do you want to bite Shangjiabao?" As the first wealthy family in Lishui, the Shang family was one of the four valves of Jinling in the early stage, and he gnawed down on Shangjiabao, and there should be tens of thousands of stone rice grains, possibly more, and he could directly incorporate the slaves and maids of Shangjiabao. ”

Han Qian asked Yao Xishui to listen to his questioning of Shang Hu, but he would not tell her the real calculation in his heart.

At this time, in addition to the 3,000 remnants, there were only more than 2,000 slaves and maids who had dragged their families over to join the army in the past three days, and they couldn't draw four or five hundred strong soldiers, and he was not qualified to gnaw on Shangjiabao now.

Even if Yao Xishui looked like he was quite encouraging them, Han Qian was indifferent, but followed Zhao Wuji, Dou Rong, Feng Xuan, Zhang Ping, Yuan Guowei, Lin Haizheng and others who arrived later to discuss the specific plan for dividing troops from Maoshan to the towns and villages in the west to raise grain and grass and recruit slaves and maids into the army.
