The camp is in a mountain col in the southeast of Chenzhong City, next to a township inspection department.

The 800 slave soldiers in the barracks, in addition to the lowest soldiers, the eight team leaders and other military attachés who were promoted to lead the team were also slaves and maids sent by the Yang family from Sizhou to work.

In the past two months, almost every two military attachés led by Xi Fa'er, Kou Rong, Han Bao and others have been responsible for a military attache who is in charge of leading the team, teaching them how to lead the team in training.

In the past two months, I have done this one thing.

Feng Yi brought Yang Hu, Fu Gengwen, Han Chengmeng and others over, and after handing over the military order signed by Han Qian, Xi Fa'er gathered 800 slave soldiers and lined up in the school yard in the center of the camp.

Xi Fa'er also handed over the personnel roster and asked Yang Hu and others to check it, and he, Kou Rong and Han Bao led a hundred-person military attache to supervise and supervise the military attachés also gathered, preparing that after Yang Hu took over these village slave soldiers, they could withdraw at any time.

"Young boy, how can I say it, our Xuzhou didn't take advantage of your Yang family, right?" Feng Yi stared at Yang Hu with a smile and asked.

The 800 Zhai slave soldiers are only simple armaments at present, mainly half-body leather armor and simple knife contradictory cards, no bows and crossbows, and no large bed crossbows and scorpion cannons and other combat weapons.

Since the previous drill mainly used bamboo and wood knives and spears, the real armor was only issued last night, and most of the soldiers were still adapting, and they were more or less uncontrollable excited, so that the queue looked a little messy.

Not to mention Yang Hu, Fu Gengwen and others, even if Xi Shepeng is here, he can't see why.

Yang Hu can generally see the vast majority of the yellow-skinned, timid and fearful slaves and maids two months ago, at this time the spirit is much better, and the body is much stronger, and it can be seen that in the past two months, Xuzhou has not treated these slaves and maids badly in terms of food and lodging.

Although when Han Qian ordered the detention of these slaves and maids, the overseers who were originally sent by Sizhou to take care of them were first isolated, and then the first batch was sent back to Sizhou, but fortunately, there were two people in Yang Hu's side who were specifically responsible for these things before.

Yang Hu and these two attendants discussed privately for a while, at least they could confirm that most of the military attachés standing in the forefront were familiar faces, and there were no nails in Xuzhou, after all, there were still a group of slaves and maids who were quick or strong, which were more eye-catching in the past.

As long as there is no problem with the military attachés, they also have a list of slaves and maids, so it will be more cumbersome for the personnel to do further verification, but there is no danger that there will be any leaks.

Seeing that Yang Hu and Hu Sui had been discussing in a whisper for a long time without a decision, Fu Gengwen also looked over and asked, "How is it?" Will the young prince take over directly, or will he temporarily leave these horses in Xuzhou and let the Marquis of Qianyang continue to supervise them? ”

Fu Gengwen's meaning is also very clear, and Xuzhou did not say that he must return the people to Sizhou at this time, if he is not sure, he still hopes that Yang Hu will not take over rashly.

In this corner, it is not a fun thing for eight hundred slaves and maids to mutiny, and if they are not careful, the eight hundred slave soldiers may tear them to pieces.

Yang Hu hesitated for a long time, and said to Feng Yi in a deliberative tone: "Can you send two hundred Chenzhou soldiers to the camp first, and I will transfer some military attaches from Hujian Pass to take over these slaves?" ”

"And how long is this going to drag?" Feng Yi asked impatiently.

Fu Gengwen somewhat understood Yang Hu's thoughts, and replaced the military attache in Xuzhou, these slave soldiers really wanted to mutiny, and Xuzhou had the responsibility to suppress it; And there is a Hujian Pass, which will not affect the situation in Sizhou.

Moreover, if something went wrong in Xuzhou, Qianyang Marquis Han Qian couldn't get out of it, so it was much safer than directly bringing these people into Hujian Pass and then rectifying.

"If Lord Feng finds it inconvenient, I'll go and ask Master Hou to be tolerant?" Fu Gengwen still has to help Yang Hu speak in this matter.

Now I was thinking that I could delay time, and when I saw Yang Hu entering the city, Feng Yi also did enough, beckoned someone to ask him to rush to the city to ask Han Qian.

Han Qian's instructions were also quickly approved, agreeing that the men and horses would stay in Xuzhou temporarily, and Yang Hu would transfer people from Sizhou to take over, but the food and lodging would also be temporarily guaranteed by Xuzhou, and the settlement would be made with Sizhou after the war.

In addition to this, he also specially sent someone to ask what he meant by Xihua Peng, whether the Chenzhou camp would stay and recuperate for the time being, or go to Sizhou to suppress the bandits first.

Chenzhou is willing to send troops to help suppress, mainly because he doesn't want to see Xuzhou have the opportunity to annex Sizhou.

At present, the situation in Panlongling is quite stable, and Sizhou has 800 new soldiers who can replenish their combat strength, how can Xishu Peng directly lead the elite of Chenzhou to the front line?

Xi Shepeng and his father Xiying discussed, and finally hoped that more than 1,000 elites in Chenzhou would cross Chenshui first, meet with the Zhai slave soldiers, and wait for the Yang clan to successfully master these slaves, and then go west together.

…………

…………

After discussing for two days, Han Qian agreed to many conditions proposed by Yang Hu and Xi Shepeng, and first arranged a ferry to take more than 1,000 soldiers from Chenzhou to the south bank of Chenshui.

However, by the time Yang Hu transferred more than 40 veterans loyal to the Yang clan from Sizhou through Hujian Pass to reunite, it was already September 24.

There are many inconveniences in the communication of the world, coupled with the fact that Chen Xuye thinks of mountains and rivers, this efficiency is already extremely high.

Yang Hu transferred his manpower, and there was no way for the eight hundred slave soldiers to set off immediately.

The military attache of the pipe belt should be replaced, the new military attache should be familiar with the generals below, the personnel should be further verified, the basic rectification should be carried out, and it must be determined whether these slave soldiers obey the control, and it rained for three days in a row, and when Yang Hu felt that he was sure enough, he officially asked Han Qian to resign, and when he wanted to return to Sizhou with his men and horses, another ten days had passed.

Chenzhou Fan camp in front, 800 Zhai slave soldiers in the center, Han Qian personally led 1,000 Xuzhou soldiers to march in the rear, from the south bank of Chenshui to embark on the road to the west, the speed is naturally not fast, it took two days to reach the village on the other side of Gaozhiyu.

Nearly 3,000 men and horses crossed the river again to the north bank, and it took another day.

An Jixiang, Fu Gengwen, Han Chengmeng and others followed Han Qian to live in the Qingniu Township Inspection Department under Gao Yiyu, and it was already the sixth day of October.

At dusk, standing in the open space in front of the courtyard of the Township Inspection Department, watching Kong Xirong and others command more than 1,000 horse infantry to enter the temporary camp on the left side of the Shu Courtyard in an orderly manner, and on the post road farther away, Yang Hu and Xi Shepeng led the village slave soldiers and Chenzhou soldiers to continue to march towards Hujian Pass.

They are mainly afraid of Xuzhou's ill-intentioned intentions, and they don't think that the civil unrest in Sizhou can really become any climate - Fu Gengwen temporarily accompanied An Jixiang to stay east of Hujian Pass, and he was not in a hurry to go to Sizhou, but he was also worried about this.

Now that Han Qian is guarding himself, Sizhou has nearly two thousand more fresh troops, in their opinion, how can they fight for some strength and successfully inflict heavy losses on the chaotic army, they believe that they will be able to go back soon.

Early the next morning, it was confirmed that Yang Hu and Xi Shepeng had led their troops into Hujian Pass to rest, Fu Gengwen thought about asking Han Qian to resign, and he and Han Chengmeng first went to Sizhou to see the progress of the war to quell the civil unrest, but they didn't want Yang Hu to suddenly turn back and hand them a letter that shocked them.

"How could this be, the Shu army stepped over the temporary demarcation line the night before yesterday and entered the Wuchuan River Valley?" Fu Gengwen took the letter, and after reading it, his voice trembled a little.

"Xuzhou is delaying time in every possible way, just waiting for the moment when the Shu army enters the army, so that he can have an excuse to send troops into Sizhou!" Yang Hu said angrily.

"Is this the case, let's not discuss it for the time being, let's go see the Marquis of Qianyang first." An Jixiang's expression was solemn, Shu was sending an envoy to talk about the alliance between the two countries in Jinling City, and at this time, there was a large-scale crossing of the border by the Shu army, the situation was really extraordinary, he didn't dare to make a decision, and decided to see Han Qian first.

Yang Hu believed that Han Qian's handover of the slave soldiers was to delay the opportunity for the Chenzhou camp to enter Sizhou to fight, and rushed to see Han Qian with Yang Hu and Fu Gengwen.

"Presumptuous!" Han Qian patted the long case, stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Hu angrily, and reprimanded, "Just based on your nonsense, I made you blood splashed on the spot and your body in front of Lord An and Lord Fu today, do you think the court will accuse me of mishandling?" ”

Hearing Han Qian's angry reprimand, Kong Xirong, Han Bao, Kou Rong and other accompanying military attachés stepped forward with murderous knives to detain Yang Hu.

"Master Hou is angry, and Young Master Yang is also in a hurry." An Jixiang also stepped forward in horror to make peace for Yang Hu.

"You guys retreat first," Han Qian waved his hand, telling Kong Xirong and them to retreat first, but his face did not change with anger, and he stared at Yang Hu murderously, "The Liang army invaded Jingxiang, and I plotted to retreat from the enemy; Ma's rebellion in Hunan, it was me who plotted to level the domain; Jinling's shocking change, it was my birth and death that reversed the crisis, I am loyal to Da Chu, even His Majesty wants to call me 'Master Han', what kind of thing are you, dare to talk nonsense in front of me, and slander me to collaborate with the enemy? I really want to take you Sizhou, I need to collude with the Shu army? Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, is also a generation of heroes, he doesn't have the mind to Mousizhou, but he is kind enough to help me go to Mousizhou? What the hell is all that you bastard, what the hell is in your head? ”

When Yang Hu came in, An Jixiang, Fu Gengwen, and Han Chengmeng, Feng Yi was pulling Guo Rong over to find Han Qian for tea.

At this time, he also held the tea bowl in his hand and did not put it down, and looked at Guo Rong with wide eyes.

If he hadn't been involved in the planning from the beginning, he couldn't help but believe that all this had nothing to do with Xuzhou.

"Hou Ye is angry, Hou Ye is angry," Fu Gengwen looked at the Xuzhou sword and tiger Ben outside the hall, and when he saw Han Qian so angry, he was also frightened, and said, "Now the situation in the Wuchuan River Valley is unknown, everyone is anxious for the Great Chu Jiangshan Society, don't hurt the harmony." ”

Yang Hu felt that his legs were a little weak at this time, and when he saw An Jixiang and Fu Gengwen handing over his eyes, he could only admit his mistake first: "It's Yang Hu who is in a hurry to lose his words, please ask Hou Ye to see the crime." ”

Han Qian was furious, and continued to point at Yang Hu's nose and scolded: "What kind of bastard did you say just now? What time am I going to delay? If I really collude with the Shu army, wouldn't it be the most beneficial for the Shu army to cross the border when the Xijia, the Yang family and the mob thief army are inseparably killed and both are defeated? At that time, who had an excuse to prevent Xuzhou from sending troops into Sizhou to block the enemy? Now you have 2,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Hujian Pass, and you can be transferred to the north of Shiqian County at any time to block the southward movement of the Shu army, and the situation is still under your control. You are worried that I have ill intentions, I will now lead the soldiers and horses back to Chenzhong, and the consolation envoy should also go to Tanzhou to take up his post at this time, you send someone to ask the consolation envoy Huang, and transfer the Shaozhou soldiers and horses into Sizhou, it will only take half a month, and you will not be unable to support it for even half a month! ”

Han Qian delayed in every possible way, but Feng Yi hurriedly went to Yuzhou to lobby the Changxiang Marquis, and the two sides were blocked by mountains and rivers, and they could not cooperate closely at all in terms of timing.

Otherwise, let the Chenzhou soldiers and horses go over first, and the Shu army will not be able to dispatch for a long time, and Xuzhou will fall into a dilemma.

Yang Hu, An Jixiang, and Fu Gengwen were speechless when they were reprimanded by Han Qian at this time.

Han Qian didn't care about Yang Hu, An Jixiang, and Fu Gengwen, and said angrily to Gao Shao and Kong Xirong: "Order all the people, let's go back to Chenzhong, this mess, we don't care about Xuzhou." ”

An Jixiang and Fu Gengwen stood there, very at a loss, worried that they would leave and stay, but they would fall into Han Qian's trap, and watched Han Qian leave in a bad mood.

Next, I saw Gao Shao, Kong Xirong and others galloping to the temporary camp in the west to give orders, and soon saw thousands of soldiers and horses assembled at a very fast speed, and drove towards the ferry below, as if they really wanted to return to Chenzhong with Han Qian.

Seeing that the generals in Xuzhou were empty with Han Qian, except for a few small officials from the Township Inspection Department in the courtyard, there were only a few of them left in the empty hall, Fu Gengwen asked An Ji at a loss: "Lord An, how is this good?" ”

Yang Hu was also a little confused, standing there not knowing what to say.

Although Han Chengmeng couldn't understand the situation, his mind was a little calmer, and he suggested, "Either we go to Hujian Pass first?" Lord Sizhou Thorn Shi Yang may have been in Hujian Pass at this time, right? ”

An Jixiang and Fu Gengwen looked at Yang Hu.

Yang Hu nodded, signaling that his father Yang Xingfeng was indeed in Hujian Pass at this time, and after getting the news that the Shu army occupied the Wuchuan River Valley, he led three hundred elites to reinforce Hujian Pass at the fastest speed.

An Jixiang didn't dare to stand by at this time, so he decided to go to see Yang Xingfeng with Fu Gengwen first, and said to Han Chengmeng when he left: "Chengmeng, you go to see the Marquis of Qianyang first, and persuade him to focus on the overall situation and not be angry about the young son's nonsense." ”

Seeing that An Jixiang and Fu Gengwen were still worried that Han Qian was using a plan to capture him, Han Chengmeng didn't say anything, and chased after the ferry with two servants.

Han Chengmeng rushed to the ferry, and Han Qian had already led the guards to cross the river with Guo Rong, Feng Yi and others first.

Fortunately, Kong Xirong did not embarrass him, and arranged a boat to send him across the river first.

Han Chengmeng delayed for some time, hurried all the way, and almost followed Han Qian into Chenzhong County before and after, but Han Qian didn't have any opinion of him at this time, and he could only live in the post house first.

After nightfall, Fu Gengwen, who was heading to Hujian Pass, sent someone to meet him.

At this time, Han Chengmeng did know that the more than 1,000 Xuzhou soldiers and horses stationed in Gaozhiyu had also returned to the south bank of Chenshui one after another, and were retreating along the post road on the south bank to Chenzhong, and after An Jixiang, Fu Gengwen and Yang Xingfeng met, in addition to first dividing a part of the soldiers and horses to rush to Shiqian County, they also decided to send people to Tanzhou to see the Xuanhui Huanghua first.

The people sent back by Fu Gengwen were going to borrow the road from Chenzhong to Tanzhou.

Han Chengmeng hesitated, and after sending away Fu Gengwen's messenger, he decided to go to see Han Qian head-on.

Han Qian didn't turn him away at this time, and sent someone to lead him in.

After passing through the hall and walking to the back house, he saw that Zhao Ting'er was taking the letter from Han Qian's hand to avoid, he bowed to Zhao Ting'er, and only after there were no other outsiders left and right, he said: "Lord An and Lord Fu have sent people to Tanzhou to spread the message, and their meaning is also to advocate the transfer of Chenzhou soldiers and slave soldiers to Qianjiang first, and then suggest that Xuanwei make Huanghua transfer troops from Shaozhou to the west ......"

Han Qian glanced at Han Chengmeng and said, "That's just right, it's thankless to save Xuzhou, and it also causes a commotion." ”

Han Chengmeng could only say this, chatted some homely things and got up to leave.

"Han Chengmeng suspects that you want to capture and indulge at this time, and wants to persuade you not to be self-defeating, should we send someone to see Tan Yuliang? At this time, Tan Yuliang should be able to persuade the generals of the Tianping Army to agree to send an elite army into Shiqian County. Gao Shao suggested.

The hearts of the 800 slave soldiers are unstable, but under the strict monitoring of the Chenzhou soldiers and the Sizhou people, it is difficult to succeed, and Tan Yuliang needs to persuade the generals of the rebel army to send elites from Panlongling to rush over to respond, so as to completely stir up the situation in Sizhou.

"The more we get to this time, the more we have to calm down," Han Qian shook his head and said, "Even Han Chengmeng doesn't believe that we can get out of the way, let alone act rashly at this time." ”

"Huanghua, this person is not easy to deal with......" Han Qian said that it was easy to calm down, but Feng Yi was somewhat unable to sit still, thinking that according to their temper, the emperor of Xuzhou Mountain is far away, what are you afraid of if you really raise troops to annex Sizhou?

Han Qian ignored Feng Yi's advice.

Feng Yi glanced at Guo Rong.

Guo Rong pondered for a while and asked Han Qian: "Is it your lord who has concluded that Huang Hua can't move Chai Jian's soldiers and horses?" ”

Han Qian nodded and said, "The Shu army is suddenly in trouble, and no one knows how long the soldiers and horses will be stationed in Shiqian to resolve the crisis—even if you don't consider how difficult it will be to supply thousands of soldiers and horses, how can Chai Jian not worry that these soldiers and horses will get out of his control after being stationed in Sizhou for a long time?" Don't forget, re-enable Hunan Province, appoint Huang Hua and others as consolation envoys, in addition to our Xuzhou, Chai Jian also has an extra golden hoop on his head, can he feel comfortable? The elite battalions of Hunan Zhuzhou have been drained by the forbidden army, and most of the remaining are old and weak, and the elite combat power that Huanghua can mobilize nearby is only Chenzhou soldiers, but does Xiying dare to let Chenzhou vacate it? ”

Chai Jian served as the commander of the Zuo Shenwu Army, and also led the Shaozhou Assassin History, and his status was originally equivalent to Gu Zhilong (out of southern Zhejiang), Zheng Hui (sitting in Xiangdeng Jun), Zhang Ben (sitting in Jingzhou), and Li Zhihe (sitting in Shuzhou in charge of the rebel troops in Anning Palace), and only needed to be directly responsible to Emperor Yanyou and the Privy Council.

The reactivation of Hunan Province, so that Huang Hua, Wu Zun, Chen Fan and others were in charge of the military and civilian consolation, criminal name investigation, and financial transfer in Hunan Prefecture, in fact, Chai Jian's status was also downgraded, and everything needed to obey the control of Hunan Province.

It is not difficult to predict that Hunan Province and Chai Jian and the Xinchang Marquis Mansion behind Chai Jian will inevitably have some disputes over the ownership of the command of the Zuo Shenwu Army.

If it were someone else, they might follow the arrangement of the imperial court, but for the Marquis of Xinchang, Li Zhihe was not a person with them, and the Zuo Shenwu Army was the only soldier and horse they directly controlled.

They have been so eager to grasp the military power in their hands all these years, and dare to easily risk that a soldier will be out of their control?

Thinking of this, Guo Rong couldn't help but sigh and said with a smile: "It's really timely." The Marquis of Xinchang Mansion has been fighting with adults for many years, and they are really likely to help adults this time! ”

Han Qian smiled slightly, Emperor Yanyou used Huanghua to go out of Hunan, which was beyond his expectations, but he asked Feng Yi to go to Yuzhou, as long as he succeeded in persuading Changxiang Hou to send troops to invade Wuchuan, and Sizhou had to divide his troops to defend the Qianjiang River, the initiative would fall back into his hands......
