From Yunpanling to the north, there are mostly low mountains and hills, and to the north through the rebel-controlled area, the elite team of men and horses can choose from countless field paths, so they don't have to worry about the blockade and interception of the rebel scouts.

Han Qian and Jiang Shu were escorted by Zhao Wuji, Xi Fa'er and other guards, and in only four days, they passed through the low mountains and shallow hills in the west of Langzhou without danger, went to the riverside to find a fishing boat to cross the river, and entered Jingzhou City to meet Zhang Jiao, the assassin of Jingzhou.

Yang En also happened to have just come from Ezhou at this time, preparing to take a boat from Jingzhou to Yiling, which was controlled by the Shu army.

To tell the truth, even if the Shu army is no longer willing to let the Great Chu completely take Tanzhou into the bag, it is unlikely that they will kill the Chu envoy, but the road is dangerous, Yang En can face this trip so lightly, but Han Qian admires his courage.

"Even if Tanzhou and the Liang army can't guess the intention of the imperial court to negotiate peace with Shu, but Yang Hou stepped into Shu, and the spies of Tanzhou and Liang Jun lurking in Shu will be ready to move when they hear the rumors. There are a few teenagers around me, who are good at scouting and spying on things, and I asked Yang Hou to take them with him to protect the loopholes in the matter. In the banquet hall of the back house of the Jingzhou Thorn Mansion, Han Qian asked Yang En to agree to bring Zhao Wuji, Xi Fa'er and others to him to protect his personal safety after entering Shu.

Zhang Ji would send a warship to send Yang En to Yiling, and the escort work after arriving at Yiling was mainly responsible for the Shu army, but the Shu army was bound to be full of disagreements and disputes over the peace negotiations.

Generally speaking, no matter what the outcome of the peace negotiation is, Yang En and the Shu lord Wang have established an old friendship, and the Shu army will not openly harm Yang En, but what if someone deliberately shows a flaw in the matter of the guards, so that the assassins of Tanzhou or Liang can succeed?

"Yang Hou Mo wants to resign, if you have an accident in Shu and it is difficult to make peace, I don't know how many more lives of generals will have to be sacrificed." Zhang Jiao, as a general of the same rank as Du Chongtao, naturally has no need to be enthusiastic about a junior figure like Han Qian, but he also feels the same way for Han Qian's concern for Yang En's envoy to Shudi.

Even if Han Qian didn't send people, he would send a few elite veterans from his side to personally protect the safety of Yang En after entering Shu.

The Ma family also knew that it was difficult to support too much on the front of Tanzhou, and could only hope that the Shu army and the Liang army could restrain the main force of the Chu army and force the imperial court to acquiesce to the fact that the Ma family had seized Tanzhou.

At this time, the Ma family had an embassy in Shudi, and they knew the news of Yang En's envoy to Shudi, how could they not risk their lives to sabotage the Chushu peace talks?

As for Han Qian's decision to use troops against Tanzhou, he advocated using the Louchuan army warship to send a part of the elite soldiers and horses to the north of Chenzhou to join the Wuling army, but Zhang Qian was noncommittal.

The benefits of using strange and strange, but the danger in this is also great, not to mention that the internal line of Tanzhou is also extremely fast to adjust the deployment of troops, and finally from the Yuedong battalion elite into the Yuanjiang River valley to join the Wuling army, it may not be able to play much role.

Of course, even if the troops are dispatched, it is the elite directly under the county king's mansion that is mobilized, and the heavy casualties are also a setback to the strength of the county king's mansion, and this determination needs to be discussed by the generals of the county king's mansion; As an outsider, Zhang Ben is even more difficult to say.

Jingzhou is still under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, and Zhang Peng, as a general of the same level as Du Chongtao, only needs to obey the emperor's decree and cooperate in the battle.

Han Qian and Jiang Shu stayed in Jingzhou for a long time, and after exchanging the current situation of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses and the Wuling army, they resigned with Yang En and Zhang Peng, and took the warship of Jingzhou Water Camp down the river to the camp in the east of Yueyang City, where they met with Yang Yuanpu, the third prince.

Han Chengmeng and Qiao Weiyan also returned to Yuedong Camp with Han Qian and Jiang Shu again.

Although Zheng Hui left Jinling for Xuzhou in mid-September last year, Emperor Tianyou did not issue an edict until the end of the year to remove Ma Yin, Zhao Sheng, Luo Jia and others from their official positions and summon them to Beijing.

At that time, Han Qian was ordered to "abscond", and the matter of merging Xuzhou with his father Han Daoxun could be regarded as a public statement.

For the Han family, this matter can really be described as a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Sad for more than a year, frightened, panicked, and I don't know how much money was extorted by the county king's mansion, although the third prince said afterwards that the money was borrowed to spend military funds, but in the end it was not returned, can you still ask for it?

Naturally, the third uncle and father and son turned out to be "loyal ministers and good generals" who acted on orders, so the Han family would be implicated before, in fact, it was Your Majesty who wanted to deceive Tanzhou, so they were wronged during this period, and Your Majesty would naturally have some compensation.

Han Daoming was transferred to the Ministry of Servants after the year, and the Yandang Jizhuang Courtyard was re-given to Han Qian's name, temporarily handed over to the Han family to operate, and the Han family was additionally rewarded with more than 1,000 acres of farmland, Han Daoming's two adult concubines Han Chengmeng, Han Jianji, two sons-in-law Qiao Weiyan, Chen Zhiyong and Han Duan, the eldest son of the second house, were given official status, and Han Chengmeng, Han Jianji, Qiao Weiyan, and Chen Zhiyong were specially ordered to serve as deaciners and other positions in the county palace.

Emperor Tianyou's intention to arrange this, the Han family naturally knew it in their hearts.

Jiang Shu set off from the Yuedong camp and sneaked to Chenzhou, and Han Chengmeng and Qiao Weiyan also ignored the danger and followed them through the enemy territory, hoping to see Han Qian and the third uncle Han Daoxun.

However, Han Qian did not treat them well in Yunpanling, and even refused to allow them to go to Qianyang to meet his father Han Daoxun.

Han Qian decided to go to the Yuedong camp to meet the three princes in person, so they could only bite the bullet and follow all the way north.

Han Qian didn't take the initiative to talk to them along the way, they forced themselves up, and Han Qian also ignored it.

The Yuedong camp is located on the remnant veins of the northwest foot of Mt. Makufu.

The low mountains and hills in this area are only thirty or fifty zhang high, compared with the thousands of zhang high Xiongqi Peak meat donkey on Wuling Mountain and Xuefeng Mountain, it is by no means high, but the mountain is close to the riverside, but it also seems rugged and steep.

Yuedong Daying is built along the mountain, stretching for nearly ten miles, the east is Yunxidu, and it is also a major post station in the east of Yueyang City.

At present, the army has set up a large camp on the western slope of Qiushan Mountain, forming a trend of attacking Yueyang City, while a large number of grain and more men and horses are assembled at Yunxiyi in the east.

At present, the third prince Yang Yuanpu is here, in addition to nearly 50,000 soldiers, there are also more than 50,000 soldiers and civilians recruited from all over the country, plus nearly 10,000 mules and horses, and the daily consumption of grain and horse feed is as high as four or five thousand stones.

For such a large-scale war, the three directions of Jingzhou, Hongzhou, and Wuling Army are not counted, and only in the direction of Yue-Hubei, the expenses for half a year will have to be 1.45 million yuan to be worth.

Han Qian took a boat to the yard in front of Yunxi Station

The head got off the boat and landed on the shore, and when he saw the boats gathered and the traffic was busy here, he secretly felt that it was also thanks to Emperor Tianyou to raid the Feng family and make a lot of money, so that he could still have the strength to launch the reduction of the Tanzhou domain after making up for the expenses of the Jingxiang war.

Shen Yang, Li Pu, Yang Jian and others were all in the camp in the west, and Yunxiyi Dazhai was mainly led by Chen Jingzhou, Zhou Yuan, Zhang Qian and others to garrison and sort out the grain and grass transport.

Han Qian landed on the shore, Chen Jingzhou, Zhou Yuan, and Zhang Qian all went out of the village to greet him, in addition to a team of guards led by Han Jianji.

"Your Highness has an order, when you land on the shore, I will invite you to meet you at the camp in Xishan." Han Jianji said stiffly.

Han Qian glanced at his cousin Han Jianji, and did not say no, but first talked to Chen Jingzhou, Zhou Yuan, Zhang Qian and others.

Zhou Yuan naturally had a deep resentment towards Han Qian in his heart, but he also had to admit that the Han family's father and son were indeed capable of what others could not.

Although the role of the Yuanjiang direction was not paid much attention to when the imperial court officially deployed the cutting of the feudal domain a few years ago, and it was far less important than the Hongzhou and Jingzhou directions, the progress in the other three directions was slow at this time, and only the Wuling army went down the Yuanjiang River, like a bamboo.

The father and son of the Han family not only resolved the worries of Tanzhou contacting Wuxi Fanman in Xuzhou, but also annihilated more than 4,000 elites in Tanzhou, but also successfully contained nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in Tanzhou in the lower reaches of the Yuan River, reducing the pressure of the imperial court in the other three directions.

Otherwise, Tanzhou could at least draw 20,000 more soldiers and horses to strengthen the defense in the three directions of Jingzhou, Yuezhou, and Hengzhou.

Zhou Yuan joined the army as Cangcao, the county prince's mansion, and this time in the army, he mainly assisted Shen Yang in charge of logistics and other matters, he knew very well that His Royal Highness sent Jiang Shu to Chenzhou to ask for advice, and he did not necessarily have to come to Yueyang, so he could naturally vaguely understand Han Qian's intention to come to Yueyang in person.

Zhou Yuan has his own views on which direction to strengthen the use of troops in the future, but he also understands in his heart that in front of Han Qian, it doesn't matter what his opinion is, and it is Han Qian, Shen Yang, Hou Ye and Yang Jian who can finally decide the next direction of using troops in front of the three princes.

If they were in dispute, they would have to send someone to Jinling to ask for advice.

After a shabby while, Han Qian said goodbye to Chen Jingzhou, Zhou Yuan, Zhang Qian and others, "I'll go to see Your Highness here, and I'll catch up with you when I'm free." ”

Han Qian and Jiang Shu were accompanied by several guards, and they didn't pay attention to Han Jianji, who came to greet him with the guards of the county king's mansion, and when the guards brought the horses, they had to get on the horse and rush to the Xishan camp.

Qiao Weiyan and Han Jianji muttered for a while, and then they came over and said, "Second uncle, he personally escorted several ships of grain and grains over, and he was in Yunxi Station at this time, and he was also about to leave to meet His Royal Highness." ”

"Han Daochang is not in Yunxi, what does it have to do with me?" Han Qian glanced at his cousin-in-law Qiao Weiyan and asked with an angry face.

Qiao Weiyan was stunned, seeing that Han Qian called the second uncle's name in front of everyone without any scruples, he obviously would not let go of his old grudges easily.

"Since you all come to work beside Your Highness, then I advise you to be cautious, don't make any mistakes and let me know, otherwise I don't mind the world praising me for killing my relatives with righteousness."

Han Qian dropped these words, turned on his horse, galloped onto the post road west of Yunxi Station, and rode towards the camp of Xishan......
