Chapter 420 Secret Discussion

Zheng Xingxuan led the guards to stand in front of the corridor to prevent all idle people from approaching the carrier hall.

In the main hall, Shen Yang, Chen De, Zheng Chang, Zheng Yu, Zhou Yuan, Zheng Hui, Gao Chengyuan, Guo Liang, Han Daoming, Jiang Shu, Li Chong, as well as Chun Shisanniang and Lu Qingchen waited for the concubine Wang Chan'er to sit behind the curtain, all of whom were the core figures in Yueyang City who could consult the most confidential affairs.

And Yang Yuanpu convened everyone to discuss a possibility related to Yueyang and the Great Chu Jiangshan Sheji.

That is Gu Zhilong, the assassin of Xuanzhou, is it possible to be recruited by Yue Yang.

Xuanzhou is located between Fuyu Mountain and Yishan Mountain, and to the south is Shezhou.

Starting from Shezhou, it is Raozhou to the west through the ancient post road of Yishan.

From Raozhou along the Xinchang River, across the Ganjiang River is Hongzhou.

Starting from Hongzhou, passing through Yuanzhou is Hengzhou, the southern route directly controlled by Hunan Xingshangshu Province.

At present, Hongzhou and Yuanzhou are under the control of Yang Zhitang, the king of Yuzhang County and the assassin of Hongzhou.

Shezhou and Raozhou are located in the Yishan Mountains east of Poyang Lake, located in a dangerous and sparsely populated area, and in the territory of Dachu, their status is slightly higher than that of Chenxu Prefecture and other remote and non-facing feudal prefectures.

Of course, no one cares about the reaction of Raozhou and Shezhou for the time being.

If Gu Zhilong can recruit Yueyang, the Chishan Army, the Qiuhu Army and the Xuanzhou Army will merge, not only can temporarily alleviate the dilemma of the current shortage of food, straw, soldiers and other materials faced by the Chishan Army and the Qiuhu Army, but also increase the number of troops loyal to Yueyang on the southern line of Jinling to about 60,000, and under the oppression of such a powerful force, Shezhou in the south and Raozhou in the west of Shezhou will also be decided.

Yang Zhitang is also a child of the clan, and the cousins of the crown prince Yang Yuanwu, Xinwang Yang Yuanyan, and Tanzhou Yang Yuanpu, no matter who he supports to ascend the throne, he will not have psychological pressure.

And Yang Zhitang only controlled Hong and Yuan Erzhou, with less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and under the situation that the princes of Zhedong County were almost openly serving Yueyang, there must not be any inappropriate ambitions.

Wouldn't the land passage from Hengzhou to Xuanzhou, which spans more than 1,000 miles, be opened?

And at this point, do they still need to worry about Zhang Ji of Jingzhou and Du Chongtao of Xiangzhou, will they still be at both ends of the rat and ride on the wall to watch?

This is also a possibility that Han Qian mentioned in sending back Yueyang's secret letter.

Yesterday, after receiving a secret letter from Han Qian, Yang Yuanpu didn't sleep all night, and first deduced the development of the situation in the middle of the night with Jiang Shu and Qingyang, and at dawn, he couldn't help but send someone to invite Shen Yang directly into the palace to discuss his affairs.

Wait until the early morning to gather more people to the carrier hall to discuss matters, at this time it is almost noon, Yang Yuanpu's whole person is in extreme excitement, and he has no sleep.

The Chuzhou army won a great victory in Jingshan'an, and Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters, showed dazzling martial bravery and military talent, and the atmosphere in Yueyang was extremely sluggish for a time - eager to transfer Li Zhihe to Ezhou, although there were some careful thoughts including Yang Yuanpu, the main thing was that the progress of the Chuzhou army in Jiangdong was too fast and too fast, and this side needed to prepare in advance on the eastern front.

Han Qian went to Jinling without permission and took away the military power from Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, Yang Yuanpu recognized this matter, but his heart was not at all happy.

After all, for a man who was only eighteen years old and should be high-spirited at this time, no matter how much respect he had for Han Qian in his heart, and no matter how much his early palace ban career had taught him to learn forbearance, he hoped that his will was above others.

After that, the situation in Jinling was unpredictable, Yang Yuanpu's mind fluctuated, but he never found a calm and confident way to hold his hand in the world, and his temper became somewhat anxious and impatient.

But what if Gu Zhilong could really be used by Yue Yang?

Yang Yuanpu's eyes were blazing and staring at His Royal Highness, and his slightly pale face, which had not slept all night, had a hint of excited flushing.

"Gu Zhilong served as a general in the Shengzhou Jiedu Embassy in his early years, but my father secretly said that he would surrender to the first emperor, but he was sleek. He didn't send troops to attack the Chishan Army, but he might not be willing to bet all his chips on Yueyang at this time, right? Han Daoming had several contacts with Gu Zhilong, and he had read the secret letter sent by Han Qian, and he always felt that Han Qian's judgment of Gu Zhilong and Xuanzhou was too optimistic.

If Yue Yang took Jiangzhou at this time, and also collected the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Yang Zhitang, the king of Yuzhang County, and Hong and Yuan Erzhou, he believed that Gu Zhilong might meet the wind and rudder and add icing on the cake.

However, even if they can open up the narrow land route from Hengzhou to Xuanzhou, which is sandwiched between poor mountains and bad waters, it is of great significance.

The elite combat power they can call, the Dragon Bird Army and the Wuya Army are still stationed in Yueyang and Ezhou on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and Jinling is separated from Jiangchi and other states.

And the Wuya Army is grass-created, and the surface combat power is weaker than that of the Lou Boat Army that has surrendered to the Anning Palace.

In Han Daoming's opinion, even if Gu Zhilong surrendered, the chances that they would be able to defeat the Anning Palace and the Chuzhou Army in a short period of time would not exceed forty percent.

In this case, will Gu Zhilong stake his net worth and his life?

"Lord Han is in Jinling, and his judgment of Xuanzhou and Gu Zhilong should be more direct and accurate than ours, and no matter what, it's still worth a try!" Zhang Chao of the Execution Department said according to the case.

Zhang Chaonai is the head of the Zhang family and the elder brother of Zhang Han, the assassin of Hengzhou.

During the war of cutting the feudal domain, Zhang Chao and Zhang Han led the family and 5,000 township soldiers in the north of Langzhou to join them, and made great contributions to the rapid suppression of the Ma rebellion later.

Gao Long and Miao Yong, as generals, are currently serving as the Marquis of Duyu under Chai Jian, but they are too deeply involved with the Ma family, and their local influence at this time is far from being comparable to the Zhang family.

Zhang Chao served as the head of the execution department at this time.

Han Qian recruited slaves and maids into the army in Jinling and made a promise to grant Tian Zhi, as the head of the Zhang family who owned a large number of slaves and maids and farm houses in Langzhou, Zhang Chao's dislike of Han Qian could be said to be not under the Zheng family.

However, in the face of the temptation of the greater good, there will always be some subtle changes in people's attitudes.

Zhang Chao's words also represented the voices of most of the people present, and they suddenly felt that Han Qian was not so hateful, and this matter was completely worth a try, if he couldn't persuade Gu Zhilong to join at this time, what could Yue Yang have to lose?

Han Daoming looked at the expressions of the people on the left and right, and also knew that the next discussion should be on how to solicit, not whether to solicit.

"Since it was Lord Han who persuaded Gu Zhilong to be used by the first emperor, this matter may need to be done by Lord Han himself." Zheng Yu, the privy envoy, pondered and said.

"My father ...... him" Thinking that his father Han Wenhuan was already seventy-six and might not be able to withstand the toss of the road, Han Daoming wanted to push off the matter for his father, but then he thought that his father would not get out of the horse in this matter, so he had to sneak to Jinling to meet Han Qian's erection in person, so he kept his mouth shut.

"Gu Zhilong is willing to be used by Yueyang, he deserves to be rewarded by the national prince for his merits, and his children and grandchildren will be replaced by hereditary succession, except for the crime of great rebellion, all the remaining sins will be forgiven!" Yang Yuanpu pressed the armrest and said excitedly, he also knew that he couldn't be stingy at this critical point, and he had to open a chip that was enough to make Gu Zhilong's heart move in order to make this matter successful.

"I don't know when the situation in the Liang Kingdom will settle down, this matter is sooner rather than later, everything will have to be hard work, and Lord Han will suffer from the turbulence." Zheng Yu arched his hand towards Han Daoming, and he couldn't wait to persuade Yang Yuanpu to summon Han Wenhuan into the carrier hall to teach him face-to-face.

"I'll go back to my house and talk to my father about it." Han Daoming should be inherited.

"Lord Han is old, maybe it would be safer to ask Lord Han Daochang and Lord Han to accompany him." Shen Yang was still pondering with the secret letter sent back by Han Qian in his hand, but at this time, seeing that everyone was inclined to reward Gu Zhilong, he hesitated for a while and said.

It's not that he didn't think about suggesting that Han Daoming go along, but Han Daoming left Xuanzhou very early to serve as an official abroad.

In contrast, Han Daochang, who stayed in Xuanzhou all the year round to preside over the affairs of the Han clan, was more familiar with Gu Zhilong and other local figures in Xuanzhou, and had a deeper friendship, so he suggested that Han Daochang accompany Han Wenhuan.

Of course, Han Daochang's level was slightly lower, and he was not summoned to the Carrier Hall to participate in the deliberations today.

"There are many things, so I bothered Mr. Shen to accompany Master Han to Han Gong and explain to Han Gong." Yang Yuanpu said.

At this time, it is still unknown whether it can be done, but if he directly summons Han Wenhuan, who has been in seclusion for many years, into the palace to discuss matters, it is easy to make Anning Palace and Chuzhou lurk in Yueyang's eyes to see the horse's feet, and it would be safer for Shen Yang to accompany Han Daoming to the Han Mansion on his behalf to arrange many things.

Shen Yang didn't shirk either, and glanced at Jiang Yu again, how to pass through the blockade of Jiangchi and the two states, and send Han Wenhuan and Han Daochang to Jinling to meet Han Qian as quickly as possible, Jiang Shu and Jinyun Lou needed to make more specific arrangements.

Han Jun was originally on duty in Cishou Palace today, but it was Lu Qingchen and Chun Thirteen Niang who accompanied the princess to come back from the Carrier Palace, so they knew what kind of teacher they were mobilizing today.

He didn't care about the concubine's Chunmei eyes that left him to be on duty at Cishou Palace at night, and immediately took leave to leave Cishou Palace and returned to his house.

Han Daoming took Shen Yang home to discuss secrets in the name of a family banquet.

Han Jun rushed back, and in addition to his grandfather Han Wenhuan, father Han Daoming, second uncle Han Daochang and cousin Han Duan, there was only Shen Yang in the Ming Jutang.

Not to mention under the corridor, idle characters are not allowed in the courtyard, Han Chengmeng personally led people to guard outside the courtyard.

"I escorted my grandfather and second uncle to Jinling." Han Jun stepped into the Mingju Hall from the cloister and said happily.

"You are on duty in front of the concubine and have a lot of responsibilities, where can you walk away casually?" Han Daoming frowned slightly and said.

"There must always be someone who is more familiar with Xuanzhou to protect my grandfather and second uncle. For this reason, the concubine should grant me a few days off from being around. Han Jun said.

Gu Zhilong is a slippery character, as long as they can reach Xuanzhou smoothly, even if they can't convince Gu Zhilong to join Yueyang, there will be no danger - of course, if he doesn't dare to take risks at all, won't he be ridden by Han Qian to and pee on his neck for the rest of his life?

He is currently the deputy warden of the Cishou Palace Protector Mansion, and his position is higher than that of the deputy capital Marquis Yu, and he can be regarded as entering the sequence of middle and senior generals, but he knows in his heart that he can take this position because of the Han family escorting the concubine back to Yueyang and trading with the Zheng family and the Xinchang Marquis Mansion, but not many people recognize his ability and talent, let alone compare with Han Qian.

He was not reconciled, nor did he want to miss the only opportunity to make a great contribution at the moment.

Otherwise, when will he be able to stand alone?

Han Daoming looked at Shen Yang; Of course, Shen Yang was noncommittal.
