"What the hell is going on? Do you know anything that you are hiding from me? ”

During the banquet last night, some generals sneered at Lin Zongjing and others, and Li Zhihe learned that after Li Chong fled back, he claimed everywhere in the camp that Han Qian intended to conceal the matter of Wen Rui's presence in Liangjian, so that his father Li Pu was the main force of the court's court and the main force of the sailors was destroyed in Hongzepu.

At that time, Yang En, Li Pu and others were all present, and Li Zhihe was inconvenient to say anything, so he could only watch Lin Zongjing and others leave angrily.

He rushed to Lujiang City early this morning, and rushed back to the Beacon Mountain camp at night, so he had time to summon Yao Xishui, Deng Tai and others into the tent to inquire about it.

"Although I am not resentful of Han Qian's calculations, I am not a person who does not know the priorities......" Yao Xishui said aggrievedly, indicating that this matter has nothing to do with her.

"I specially found some people to ask today, Li Chong spread these words, and happened to hide them from a few of us," Deng Tai saw that Li Zhihe's face was sinking like water, and his tiger eyes were secretly annoyed, and he looked solemn, and only then did he know that this matter was not trivial, and he sat behind the case and whispered his defense, "And other generals have always had prejudices against the Marquis of Qianyang, even if they didn't take these words seriously, they laughed at it, and they didn't take it seriously, and no one ......came to tell them."

"You, you,"

Li Zhihe patted his forehead helplessly.

Although he believed that Yao Xishui and Deng Tai would not be unable to distinguish between the important and the bad to get involved in this matter, he regarded Yao Xishui and Deng Tai as his right-hand men in Shuzhou, and he had no time to pay attention to too trivial matters, but Yao Xishui and Deng Tai had such a big loophole in this matter, and he also felt powerless.

Now he didn't know what to say, so he held the table with his hand, stared at Yao Xishui and Deng Tai sadly and asked,

"Wen Ruilin escaped from my hands, and now these rumors have spread in Shuzhou first, what do you think Han Qian will think when he finds out? Do you think that the situation in Jianghuai is not rotten enough, and can it continue to be tossed? Could it be that if Han Qian is really forced away from Jianghuai, we will have the ability to control the Jianghuai states independently?! ”

No matter how stupid Yao Xishui and Deng Tai are, they also know that parting ways with Tangyi soldiers at this time is definitely not in the interests of Huaixi, and in the face of Li Zhihe's questioning, they can't justify anything.

It's not that they didn't hear the rumors, but they hid their resentment towards Han Qian in their hearts, and when they heard this kind of rumor that was unfavorable to Han Qian, they subconsciously indulged in it, and didn't restrain it, but they didn't expect that someone would be unable to hold back during the banquet last night, and directly sneered at the people in Xuzhou, provoking Lin Zongjing and the others to leave angrily.

At this time, in the face of Li Zhihe's questioning, they had no way to defend themselves.

"Did you send someone to Tangyi to explain to Han Qian?" Su Hongyu sat beside Li Zhihe, stretched out her wrist as white as snow to caress his shoulder, and asked softly, thinking that the matter had come to this point, and she had to find a way to solve it.

"How to explain, how to explain clearly?" Li Zhihe let out a long breath and asked in a loud voice, "Will Han Qian believe that I don't know?" Wen Ruilin escaped from us, and he was already at a loss for words. ”

At this time, a guard walked in and reported: "Changguo Gong Ye has rested, and said that it is not too late to discuss anything tomorrow - Changguo Gong also said that he plans to leave for Jinling tomorrow to ask for guilt, or if there is nothing that must be discussed by him, he will cross the river directly to the south bank tomorrow, but he will come to say goodbye." ”

Li Zhihe waved his hand weakly, he came back and wanted to invite Li Pu and Li Chong over to inquire about the specific situation, but Li Pu and Li Chong avoided it, and even went back to Jinling directly tomorrow, what could he do?

Li Zhihe could only signal the guards to retreat first.

It has not been a month since the withdrawal of troops from Chaozhou City, and Li Zhihe is still only in Shuzhou to reorganize his troops and re-establish a new defense line on the west flank of Chaozhou, and Li Pu has not returned to Jinling to ask for guilt.

Of course, Emperor Yanyou Yang Yuanpu did not issue an order to summon Li Pu to return to Jinling and investigate the guilt.

Under such circumstances, even if Li Zhihe acted under the edict of the Empress Dowager and firmly controlled the military power of the Huaixi Forbidden Army, he could not restrict Li Pu's personal freedom.

What's more, Li Pu is still his "father", and he is also the father of the current empress, and the current ruler of His Majesty.

Now that Li Pu has found an excuse to shirk his guilt, thinking that he wants to take Li Chong back to Jinling to "ask for guilt", what can he do?

Seeing Li Zhihe sitting there, looking exhausted, Yao Xishui couldn't bear it, and said: "Han Qian is extremely brave in Tangyi, and he desperately needs Huaixi soldiers to contain the Chaozhou guards, I think even if there are rumors that are unfavorable to him, it is impossible for him to turn his face with us - and Li Chong is just not angry with Han Qian's calculations and is just quick to talk for a while, even if the Duke of Changguo takes him back to Jinling, the princes of the court will not listen to him, I don't think things will have any immediate impact." ”

"I wish so!" Li Zhihe stood up with his hands on the table and said, "You all go back to rest first, what kind of impact this matter will have, maybe it will be possible to wait for my father and them to return to Jinling." ”

"Li Xiu and Li Qi may go back to Jinling with Changguo Gong tomorrow, do you want to ......," Deng Tai asked.

Li Xiu and Li Qian are the most outstanding generals of the younger generation of the Zhedong County Palace, and the more than 1,000 cavalry led by them to break through can also be said to be the heritage of the Zhedong County Palace.

Whether it is Yao Xishui or Deng Tai, they all hope that they can stay here for use, and they also hope that they can become the backbone of the Huaixi Forbidden Army.

The problem is that Li Zhihe did not come forward to keep him, Li Qi was the youngest son of Li Pu, the Duke of Changguo, and Li Xiu was the nephew of Li Pu, the Duke of Changguo, and they might really be able to follow the retreat to Jinling to rest.

Of course, Li Zhihe, as their stepbrother and cousin, came forward to keep them serving in the Huaixi Forbidden Army, which is also justified.

"The casualties of the Right Shenwu Army are too heavy, if they want to go back to Jinling to rest, I can't bear to stay; Besides, if I really leave them in Huaixi, I will have no way to defend the rumors. Li Zhihe said bitterly.

"When the battle situation stabilizes, the Marquis of Qianyang may not really be so important; Before the battle at the mouth of the Puyang River, Han Daoming and Han Daochang led the Han children to cross the river to Tangyi. Yao Xishui said.

"Han Qian completely controls the Han clan, maybe he already has the idea of being his own in his heart, but this is not the time to part ways with each other......" Seeing that although Xishui kept saying that he knew the priorities, his vigilance against Han Qian was too strong after all, Li Zhihe couldn't help but warn bitterly that he didn't want her to make any more extraneous things.

"......" Yao Xishui nodded, indicating that she knew this, thought of one thing, and said, "Xu Jing returned to Xinling, recuperated for nearly a month, and found his wife a few days ago, hoping to serve the eldest brother in front ......of the account."

"Okay, he can come over and preside over the scouts, and I can have more than one assistant." Li Zhihe knew that Xu Jing still had some ability, and agreed to let him serve in the Huaixi Forbidden Army.

Even if Li Chong made him anxious, he had too few people to use, and he still needed to bring Xu Jing, Zhou Shu, Zhou Yuan and other generals of the former Xinchang Marquis Mansion over for his own use.

It is precisely like this, it is more difficult for him to clear his name for Li Chong, and it seems that he can only sit and wait for the changes to see if there is any possibility of explaining one or two and easing the relationship with Han Qian in the future.

Li Zhihe was in a dilemma, and it was inevitable that he would be lucky, but for Yao Xishui, Deng Tai and others, they decided that Han Qian would suffer this dumb loss, and they didn't take this matter to heart.

Yao Xishui, Su Hongyu, Deng Tai and others accompanied Li Zhihe and Yang En to the river, and saw off Li Pupu, Li Chong, and others, who were about to cross the river to Tongling on the south bank and then change horses and rush to Jinling.

Li Pu and the boat they were going to take had not yet left the simple dock by the river, and a sentry boat quickly approached the shore like an arrow off the string, and the two soldiers jumped off the boat and said to Li Xiuyu: "The Marquis of Qianyang claimed that the Changguo Mansion slandered his name, ordered the detention of our brothers who stayed at the mouth of the Wanshou River, and said that he would send a warship to seek justice from the Changguo Gong!" ”

"What!"

Li Xiu and Li Zhen led their troops to fight out of the enemy's encirclement, and more than 1,500 people with men and horses withdrew to the bank of the Yangtze River.

The night before, Lin Zongjing led the battle camp of the Xuzhou Water Battalion, and only sent Li Xiu, Li Mo, and the first batch of more than 500 men and horses to the Beacon Mountain camp, and more men and horses were still left in the camp at the mouth of the Wushou River waiting for the Xuzhou Water Camp to vacate the boat to see them off.

These soldiers who came by sentry boat to report the news were Li Xiu's subordinates who stayed at the mouth of the Wushou River at the western foot of the Great Thorn Mountain, and they even had their armor taken away, and they rushed over unarmed to report the news.

Who would have thought that Han Qian would directly order these horses to be detained, and send warships to seek justice?

Don't say that Li Xiu and Li Qian were caught off guard and didn't know how to deal with the current situation, Li Zhihe and Yang En were also stunned, they didn't expect Han Qian to have such a big reaction to the rumors.

"Han Qian is so a thief, is it possible that he wants to fight with the Huaixi Forbidden Army?" Li Chong asked angrily at this time.
