Yangzhou, Huainan Jiedu Embassy.

In the martial arts arena, Yang Xingmi was practicing archery with a strong bow and many arrows, but most of these sharp arrows fell outside the target.

Yang Xingmi has infinite strength since he was a child, and it is not difficult to hold a hundred catties of things in his hand, plus he has been in the military for many years, this is only a few dozen steps away, so he will not miss the target so much.

This can only show one problem, Yang Xingmi has something on his mind.

"Is the festival commander worried about Qian Bi's matter?"

Zhou Yin, the judge of the festival next to him, saw that Yang Xingmi was preoccupied, so he asked in a low voice.

Yang Xingmi didn't speak, picked up another arrow, aimed at the bull's-eye, and then let go of his right hand.

With a pop, the arrow hit the target, but it was a little off.

Putting down the big bow in his hand, Yang Xingmi took a clean white cloth and wiped it on his face, looking at Zhou Yin on the side.

"What do you think about this?"

"Hui Jieshuai, according to the current information, Jiangnan Province, Jiangxi Province and Zhendong Army have all shown signs of transferring troops, and they should have received the will of the imperial court.

If Qian Biao resists the decree, the imperial court is likely to send troops to suppress the navy.

At present, there are only four states left in the town navy, and the strength of the army is only forty or fifty thousand, which cannot resist the imperial army. Zhou Yin is not optimistic about Qian Biao, after all, the gap in strength is there.

"What if Ben Shuai sends troops to help?" Yang Xingmi said suddenly.

"Is the marshal ready to decide?" Zhou Yin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked.

"No, that's what Ben Shuai said." Seeing Zhou Yin's nervous expression, Yang Xingmi's heart sank, but his face did not show any different color.

"If the marshal is sure to unite with Qian Biao, the lower official suggests that the marshal recall the assassins of the states for discussion, this matter is very important, and the marshal must be cautious." Zhou Yin said in a deep voice.

"Master Yan, what about you?" Yang Xing asked Yan Ke for another advisor.

Yan Keqiu was originally Xu Wen's strategist, but because he was reused by Yang Xingmi, he became Yang Xingmi's strategist. When encountering many major events, Yang Xingmi will generally seek Yan Keqiu's opinion.

"Back to the festival marshal, this matter is very important, and his subordinates dare not rashly suggest the festival marshal. As long as the marshal decides, his subordinates will definitely consider all aspects for the marshal. Yan Keqiu also hesitated.

"Then tell me, if Ben Shuai plans to unite with Qian Bi, what should he do?" Yang Xingmi suddenly became a little interested, and asked Yan Keqiu, which could be regarded as a test.

Yan Keqiu pondered for a while, "If the festival marshal insists on this, then the first thing to do is to leave Qian Biao alone." ”

"Regardless of Qian Bi? Why? Yang Xingmi was a little curious.

"Because Qian Biao's strength is weak, he can't hold on for long. Since Feng Hongduo defected to the imperial court, the imperial court's naval division has become increasingly powerful, and as long as the naval division blocks the Yangtze River, Huainan's soldiers and horses will not be able to reinforce Jiangnan.

Without the support of my Huainan army, Qian Biao will definitely be defeated, so naturally he can't take care of him, that will only be a waste of troops. Yan Keqiu replied.

"And what's the first thing you say?" Yang Xingmi asked.

"Send troops to Jianghuai, cooperate with Zhu Yougong to defeat the Right Tiance Army, and help it occupy the entire Jianghuai. If the commander wants to raise troops, he must have allies, and Zhu Yougong is a better ally than Qian Biao.

The court didn't trust Zhu Yougong, and after Qian Biao was resolved, the court would inevitably take action against Zhu Yougong, so he had no choice. Yan Keqiu said.

Yang Xingmi nodded with satisfaction, obviously agreeing with Yan Keqiu's words. And Zhou Yin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, this Yan Keqiu was a little dangerous, this was to take his position?

"And what about the second thing?" Yang Xingmi asked.

"Second...

Before Yan Keqiu finished speaking, someone outside hurriedly came and reported in front of Yang Xingmi, "Qi Qi Jieshuai, the envoy of the Zhen Navy wants to ask to see Jieshuai." ”

"The emissary of the town navy? Who is it? Yang Xingmi looked at the two subordinate strategists, and then asked who came.

This is a little interesting, just now he was still analyzing the situation with the two strategists, but he didn't expect this Qian Biao to send someone so soon.

"Hui Jieshuai, it's Gu Quanwu!"

"Gu Quanwu? I didn't expect Qian Biao to send him in and let him in! Yang Xingmi commanded.

。。。。。。

Hangzhou, Dufu.

The Qiantang Du clan is a local clan, but now the most famous is Du Liang.

Du Liang is one of the eight generals who started with Qian Biao, and the official went to Runzhou to assassinate the history, and later Runzhou was lost to Yang Xingmi, Du Liang briefly served as the Hangzhou assassin and died of illness last year.

Although Du Liang died of illness, his three sons had some achievements, and they all served under Qian Bi. Among them, the youngest son, Du Jianhui, took over the position his father once held--- the capital of Dong'an.

The Badu soldiers were the starting team of Qian Biao in the early days, but then Qian Biao expanded the Badu into thirteen capitals, which is also the core army of the current town navy.

followed by Wu Yongdu, but Wu Yongdu defected from Qian Biao last year and took refuge in the imperial court.

In addition, it is the state soldiers of various states and the tooth soldiers and personal guards of Qian Biao.

As a close force of the Jiedu envoy, the Tooth Army is well paid, but it is not easy to control, and mutinies often occur. Therefore, in addition to the tooth army, the envoys of the festival have formed a pro-army, as the cronies of the section commander, Qian Biao is no exception.

These are the current strength of the town's navy, which has a total of 60,000 men.

Qian Biao only has four states, but he has an army of 60,000, which is really a lot. This is also due to the developed economy of Hangzhou and other places, and there are more taxes, so Qian Biao can raise this army of 60,000.

Du Jianhui is currently serving as the general of Dong'andu, and his two elder brothers are serving as civilians, the eldest brother Du Jiansi serves as the commander of Hangzhou to join the army, and the second brother Du Jianfu serves as the county commander of his hometown Xincheng County.

The second brother is not currently in the state city, so there are only Du Jianhui and the eldest brother Du Jiansi in this mansion.

"Brother, the people of the Jinyi Guard are looking for me today."

In the study, Du Jianhui told his brother about Bai Rijin Yiwei looking for him.

When his father died, the head of the family was naturally Du Jiansi, the eldest brother was like a father, and Du Jianhui did not hide this matter from his brother.

"Jin Yiwei also looked for me." Du Jiansi said in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Du Jianhui was a little surprised.

"Actually, it has something to do with you, now among my three brothers, you have all the soldiers and horses, and Dong'an is stationed in the state city, the importance is self-evident." Du Jiansi said.

"Brother, what should we do then? The festival commander is not thin on my Du family. Du Jianhui was a little hesitant.

"If it was before, you would definitely not hesitate, it is precisely because you are not so loyal to the festival marshal that there is hesitation." Du Jiansi looked at his third brother and smiled.

"Brother, but let me oppose the festival handsome, it's really a little impossible." Du Jianhui was a little embarrassed.

"Actually, you think so, Jinyiwei is loyal to the court. Although the festival commander is good to us, in the face of major rights and wrongs, we also learn to make choices.

After all, the marshal is a courtier, and we are also a courtier, and if we are a courtier, we should be loyal to the court and the saint, not just to the marshal.

Even if we oppose the festival, it does not mean that we are treacherous. ”
