Li Yu's last wish was to be buried on the spot among the mountains outside Guangde City, and Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, finally sent people to Guangde City to escort his father Li Yu's coffin to Sitiandun with Yao Xishui, Yun Puzi and others.

Li Pu and Li Xiu planned to choose a spiritual cave in Jinzhongling to bury Li Yu, the weather was still quite hot at this time, and the road back to Hongzhou did not know when it would be opened, so they could only be temporarily buried in a foreign land, perhaps after a few years, and then take out the remains and move them back to Hongzhou.

On August 12, the sixth day of the Chishan Army's capture of Langxi City, and on the eve of Li Yu's burial, Feng Yi and Yuan Guowei rushed to Sitiandun to offer condolences.

After Zhang Ping and Yuan Guowei handed over the negotiation with Gu Zhilong and the Xuanzhou families to Han Wenhuan and Han Daochang, not only did they leave Xuancheng soon and return to Langxi, but Han Jun was also able to get out of Xuancheng yesterday and came to Sitiandun together this time.

In addition to hanging Li Yu, Han Jun mainly brought Fu Mo, Zhou Yuanhe and the two to meet Xinchang Hou Li Pu to discuss Gu Zhilong and the Xuanzhou family's service to Yueyang - but Han Jun was resentful in his heart, and did not enter Langxi City, let alone see Han Qian, but came directly to Sitiandun with Fu Mo and Zhou Yuanhe after meeting Feng Yi and Yuan Guowei in the east of Langxi City.

Han Qian has a large number of generals, but when it comes to his status in Yueyang, Xinchang Hou Li Pu is still slightly higher than Han Qian.

And even if Han Qian's attack on Langxi City was not mentioned, Gu Zhilong and the Xuanzhou families were more willing to negotiate with Xinchang Hou Li Pu in addition to Han Wenhuan and Han Daochang.

Han Qian also preferred to hide behind the scenes, hoping that Li Pu would lead more specific matters of soliciting peace.

Thinking about it at this time, Xinchang Hou Li Pu, as a liaison envoy for consolation, has the right to solicit attachments, Han Wenhuan and Han Daochang rushed all the way from Yueyang, which is quite redundant in itself, but who can think of Han Qian in advance as ruthless enough to use his uncle and ancestor as bait?

Although Sitiandun is said to be a prosperous commercial port, it was based on Xujiaji as the core in the early days, plus the surrounding villages, and there were only two or three thousand people who lived and reproduced.

The Qiuhu Army retreated south, and also squeezed into Sitiandun with more than 20,000 Lishui County residents.

It has been less than a month since the Qiuhu army captured Sitiandun, and the grain captured and carried before has not been exhausted, and more than 20,000 people in Lishui County have survived their lives.

"Hou Ye and Li will be really capable, and they have actually put the small Xu family in order, which is very human." Li Xiu and Yao Xishui went out of the village to welcome everyone into the Xu family village, and Han Jun couldn't help but praise when he saw the scene in the village.

After Han Jun came over, he went directly into Guangde Village, and before he came to Sitiandun, which is located between Jinzhongling and Hanging Ridge at the southeast foot of Jieling Mountain, he walked into Xujiaji, and saw that the village was crowded, and the Qiuhu army with a strength of 5,000 people was reorganized, and he thought to himself why the Qiuhu army didn't fight hard, so that all the scenery was taken away by Han Qian's miscellaneous?

In the face of Han Jun's praise, Li Xiu felt a little harsh, thinking that with the background of the county king's mansion, if he couldn't even take care of a village, wouldn't he lose his face to his grandmother's house?

Li Xiu just led the way in front of him expressionlessly, and said, "Han Dianjun and all the adults, please go this way." ”

Yao Xishui stayed by the concubine's side to serve in Yueyang, and Han Jun was the deputy commander of the guards of Cishou Palace, and he had a lot of contact, and he knew in his heart that Han Jun praised Xinchanghou and Li Xiu and others for governing the Xu family in a good way, and there was no sarcasm, but he was even more reluctant to admit the great martial arts of the Chishan Army.

Yes, who would have imagined in advance that Han Qian with a group of mud feet would be able to block the advance of the Xuanzhou soldiers and the Chuzhou army to capture Langxi City? Even though the casualties of the Chishan Army in the three battlefields were extremely heavy, who would dare to ignore the existence of the Chishan Army from now on?

Although several days have passed, Yao Xishui has not yet recovered from his deep shock.

Once upon a time, although Han Qian was famous, even people who knew more about the Jingxiang War and the war of cutting the feudal domain were more inclined to think that Han Qian was better at scheming and scheming, and more inclined to think that Han Qian lacked the majestic spirit of being the commander of an army, and before the capture of Langxi, no one thought that the Chishan Army, which was just a rabble, could really have the strength to conquer Jiancheng.

Even from the moment Han Qian recruited slaves and maids into the army and became enemies with the family gatekeepers, Yao Xishui always felt that Han Qian was so domineering that one day she would plant a big heel, but she had to be disappointed again this time.

Of course, after the capture of Langxi City, Yao Xishui expected Han Qian to be proud and carried away in his heart, and expected his attitude towards the family gate valve to be more domineering and tough, but he didn't expect Han Qian to know that he was restrained at the moment when he should be most publicized and domineering.

Yao Xishui was shrouded in a huge shadow in his heart, worried that the situation in Dachu would continue to develop, and he had always been under the guidance of Han Qian, whether it was possible for the eldest brother to replace the Yang family as the lord of Jianghuai, not to mention that one day he would be able to lead the Northern Expedition, crush the bones of Emperor Liang and his family, and avenge the blood feud of the year.

…………

"Zhang Ping, what about Lord Zhang?" In Li Xiu, Yao Xishui, Feng Yi, Yuan Guowei, Zhou Yuanhe, Fu Mo, Han Jun and others led into the side room on the side of the mourning hall, Li Pu thought that Han Qian's killing of a thousand knives would not appear, but Zhang Ping should also go to Sitiandun to mourn his brother.

Yao Xishui was very confused when he went out of the village with Li Xiu to greet Feng Yi, Han Jun and others, thinking that his father-in-law Zhang Ping was the official envoy of His Royal Highness and Yue Yang to the Chishan Army, and Han Qian was reluctant to show up, and it should be his father-in-law who participated in the next negotiations on behalf of the Chishan Army.

Han Qian's posture was very low, and he said that he would never interfere in the negotiations, but Hou Ye was really stupid to believe it.

Without Han Qian's approval of the negotiation results, they don't care, but Gu Zhilong dares to accept and approve?

Today's Red Mountain Army is not the same as it used to be.

"Lord Zhang went to Anji to take over Anji County!" Yuan Guowei explained.

"Ah, the soldiers and horses of Jiudu Mountain have not been mobilized?" Chen Mingsheng, who was waiting in the mourning hall with Li Pu, was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise.

The Chishan Army not only successfully captured Langxi, but also suppressed the elite of the Chuzhou Army in Liyang and could not go south.

Huzhou Thorn Shi Huanghua was worried that Anji County, which was located on the west side of Huzhou and surrounded by mountains at the northeast foot of Fuyu Mountain, would easily be blocked by the Chishan Army stationed in Jiudu Mountain and Xianshan Lake, and the day after Langxi City was captured, the 3,000 Zhou battalion troops stationed in Anji were transferred.

And after Huzhou Thorn Shi Huanghua gave up Anji County, in the past two days, the large and small township gates in Anji County have also fled in a panic, and Anji has almost an empty city left except for small and medium-sized poor civilians.

Of course, they didn't know Han Qian's attitude on their side, and they didn't dare to send troops to occupy Anji City at will, after all, at this time, only the Chishan Army was qualified to occupy Anji County - at least when the Chishan Army was at its peak, no one dared to clash with Han Qian, not to mention that they all knew that Han Qian was really not easy to mess with.

The soldiers and horses of the Chishan Army stationed in Jiudu Mountain did not move, and he did not see that the troops of the Chishan Army stationed in other places were transferred to the Eastern Front, Chen Mingsheng didn't know why Zhang Ping went to recover Anji City?

"Lord Zhang took a few entourages to Anji City, and did not transfer troops and horses from Jiudu Mountain to accompany him!" Yuan Guowei said.

Not to mention Li Pu, Chen Mingsheng, Yao Xishui, Yun Puzi and others, Zhou Yuanhe, Fu Mo and others who rushed to Sitiandun with Yuan Guowei, Feng Yi, and Han Jun all the way, were all shocked at this time, and they didn't know what to say when they opened their mouths.

Zhang Pingnai is a eunuch, in the early years in the palace as a low-level eunuch, the reputation is not obvious, and then to the three princes as a minister, and then as a minister, to the Wuling Army, Chishan Army as a military supervisor, known to others, but there is no special merit that can be remembered by the world.

Zhou Yuanhe and Fu Mo had never contacted Zhang Ping before the battle of Langxi, and they didn't think that a mere eunuch would have such courage!

Although the vast majority of the Huzhou soldiers and the township lords of Anji County withdrew from Anji City, leaving an empty city, who among them dared to take a few people into Anji City to take over the military and political power?

Who is confident that just a few people can straighten out Anji's chaotic military and political affairs at this time?

Of course, if Zhang Ping can gain a firm foothold in Anji and successfully take over the affairs of Anji County, the benefits to the Chishan Army are obviously obvious, which means that Han Qian can not only get more resources and territory from the Eastern Front, but also further reduce the garrison in Jiudu Mountain and Xianshan Lake, strengthen the military strength of the Western Front, and suppress the Chuzhou Army to the north of Jieling Mountain, and dare not go south!

Yun Puzi glanced at Xinchang Marquis Li Pu, smiled slightly, and said, "Lord Zhang, he is doing his best to help Han Zhao at this time!" ”

Although Yun Puzi did not directly interfere in the cultivation of secret spies of the Jianghuai Branch of the Shenling Division when he was the envoy of the Shengzhou Jiedu in his early years, he did not know the details of the secret spy list of the Shenling Division in the Jianghuai region and the secret operation, but these days in Guangdezhai, no matter how blind his eyes are, he has long recognized Zhang Ping's identity.

At this time, he couldn't help but laugh at Li Pu's command that there was obviously a figure like Zhang Ping, but he couldn't be entrapped, but instead asked him to risk his life to serve Han Qian and the Chishan Army.

Li Pu's face was gloomy, in front of Zhou Yuanhe, Fu Mo and others, but it was inconvenient to say anything, and after leading everyone into the mourning hall to worship, he arranged for Zhou Yuanhe, Fu Mo and others to go to the side courtyard to rest first, leaving Feng Yi, Yuan Guowei, Han Jun and others to continue to speak in the side room on the left side of the mourning hall.

Li Pu didn't play dumb with Feng Qian, and he also knew that Yuan Guowei was loyal to His Royal Highness, and Feng Yi was the one who really represented Han Qian, and said: "Lord Feng, there are no outsiders here, what does Han Zhaowei think in his heart, you have to give us a quasi-number, otherwise there is no way to talk about this matter!" ”

Feng Yi glanced at everyone present, and at this time, he no longer acted coyly, and immediately put forward Han Qian's request.

Gu Zhilong is ambitious, but his ambition is currently only to obtain a higher position or power in Great Chu, and for the time being, at least he has no intention of ceding land and becoming a man, let alone others who don't.

To say that it was judged that Gu Zhilong would never easily surrender to Yueyang, the main reason was that the Chishan Army was a rabble in the eyes of the vast majority of people, and there was a serious lack of supplies, and the vast majority of people believed that the Chishan Army could barely survive only by going east and fighting with the local forces in Huhang.

In this case, many people don't think that Yueyang has the possibility of deciding the future of Da Chu, where would they think of cooperating with a group of rabble under Yueyang in the south of Jinling?

However, when the Chishan Army showed its sharp fangs and showed enough strong combat power, Gu Zhilong truly realized that the third prince Yang Yuanpu had the hope and possibility of ascending to the throne and ruling the Great Chu River, so that Gu Zhilong could see the serious consequences of not making a choice at this time, Gu Zhilong's surrender was not a difficult thing to imagine.

Besides, Gu Zhilong has never officially stood on the opposite side of Yueyang, and it is too late to serve Yueyang at any time, even this time, it is Gu Zhilong's plan, and he has not revealed a clear posture.

However, Gu Zhilong wants to be able to serve him sincerely, no longer half-heartedly, and he doesn't have to worry about what the third prince will do to him after he ascends the throne, and he will not believe in him.

It's really a choice that doesn't have any psychological burden.

As long as the Chuzhou Army or Anning Palace intervened strongly, no one thought that it would be difficult to recruit Gu Zhilong to join him.

In fact, at this time, more to be talked about was the military power of the Chishan Army, Gu Zhilong, who had surrendered, and the military power of the Qiuhu Army south of Jinling with Li Pu, Marquis of Xinchang, and the military and political tasks to be undertaken.

And in this process, it is also necessary to ensure that there are enough restrictions on Gu Zhilong, to prevent him from having the possibility of repetition, and at the same time to let Gu Zhilong have a sufficient sense of security.

Han Qian's core demand, the first point is to jointly ask Yueyang with Xinchang Hou Li Pu to agree to separate the three counties of Langxi, Guangde, and Anji, and set up an embassy outside Xuanzhou and Huzhou to accommodate more than 200,000 families of the Chishan Army; The original soldiers of the Dragon Bird Army are small and so on, and after recovering Jinling, they can move back to Taowuji for resettlement.

After Xuanzhou takes effect, it will belong to Hunan Xingshangshu Province with Guangde, Langxi, and Anji, and temporarily ignore Anji County.

However, if Han Qian agreed, then the land grant and the resettlement of the Chishan army generals would be abandoned halfway.

In order to solve this contradiction, Han Qian considered that the Han family had previously resold 140,000 mu of land in Xuanzhou to the families cheaply, and he, as the only son of the third house, had every reason to redeem one-third of the farmland.

In addition, the Feng family had more than 170,000 acres of land and houses in Ningguo, Xuancheng and other counties confiscated at the time of the imperial mausoleum case, and at present, they are mainly public property belonging to the state and county.

Han Qian asked Xuanzhou to take out these two parts of the field house to resettle the large families who fled from Guangde and Langxi before the war, so as to solve the field house disputes that may arise after Xuanzhou surrendered to Yueyang, and also enabled the Chishan Army to continue the granting of land and the resettlement of small families in Guangde and Langxi.

In addition, the second requirement set by Han Qian was that Li Pu should lead the Qiuhu Army to move westward, and after collecting and merging the Xuanzhou army, he would make an offensive from Xuancheng to the northwest.

As for how to compromise between Li Pu and Gu Zhilong, after the Xuanzhou army was merged into the Qiuhu Army, the power between them was so distributed and balanced, and Han Qian's side would not interfere.

Han Qian also believed that with Li Pu's caution, he did not have to worry that the Qiuhu Army would suffer from Gu Zhilong and the Xuanzhou Clan.

"Jinling Incident, Dao Xun Gong was brutally tortured and died, but when he was about to be sentenced, he was still worried about the people who were not living under the scourge of war, and he asked to come to Jinling, but also for the last wish of Dao Xun Gong, and when the matter was over, the envoy will return to Xuzhou to mourn and keep filial piety, please don't think about it!" Feng Yilin said.

Xinchang Marquis Li Pu didn't believe that after recovering Jinling, Han Qian would honestly hand over the military power and return to Xuzhou to continue to guard filial piety, but he had to admit that Han Qian's two requirements were not too much, and even quite beneficial to them, which was equivalent to putting the lead in the follow-up recruitment into his hands.

Feng Yi still had something to do and rushed back to Guangdezhai, and the rest of the matter was handed over to Xinchang Hou Li Pu to discuss with Yuan Guowei, Han Jun, Yao Xishui, Wei Zhen, Li Xiu, Chen Mingsheng and others.

"What do you think?" Li Pu looked at Wei Zhen, Yao Xishui, Li Xiu, Han Jun and others, although he knew that Yuan Guowei was loyal to His Royal Highness, but Yuan Guowei and Jiang Shu were too close to Han Qian, and he no longer trusted Yuan Guowei.

"The Chishan Army has suffered heavy casualties and is anxious to rest, so I hope that after the Qiuhu Army collects and merges the Xuanzhou Army, it can stand up to the front, right?" Chen Mingsheng pondered for a while, and said hesitantly, "There is nothing wrong with this, but will Gu Zhilong agree to merge the remnants of the Xuanzhou Army into the Qiuhu Army?" ”

The elite of the Chuzhou army was twice frustrated by the Chishan Army composed of broken soldiers and a bunch of mud legs, and was suppressed in Liyang at this time and did not dare to go south, which made Chen Mingsheng's fear of the Chuzhou Army and King Xin greatly reduced, and he also secretly regretted that during the attack on Langxi City by the Chishan Army, they should also take the initiative to attack, if they could also capture a city and a place at this time, their face would be much better.

Collect and merge the Xuanzhou Army, and the Qiuhu Army will be officially expanded to more than 15,000 people, stationed in Xuancheng or a little north of Xuancheng, standing side by side with the Chishan Army, and becoming an existence that can really affect the situation in Jinling.

"After the Xuanzhou soldiers were merged into the Qiuhu Army, Gu Zhilong was appointed as the commander!" Xinchang Marquis Li Pu said magnanimously, "In the eleventh year of God's blessing, Gu Zhilong was still leading troops to fight against the Fujian army in southern Zhejiang, I have to admit that he came to command the Qiuhu army, and he should be more handy than me......

In response to the conditions set by Han Qian, Li Pu pondered how he and Gu Zhilong could compromise in order to reach an agreement, and they could trust each other with confidence, the best plan was for him to replace Gu Zhilong to take over the Xuanzhou Assassin History, and then move the state to Ningguo City, which was further south, near the depths of Yishan Mountain.

In this way, he could ask Gu Zhilong and the other families to move the family to Ningguo City for protection.

In this way, it can be ensured that Gu Zhilong will not have a repetition.

The Xuanzhou soldiers were merged into the Qiuhu Army, and in terms of troops, generals, and military attachés, the Xuanzhou family was the majority, and Gu Zhilong replaced him as the commander of the Qiuhu Army, which basically ensured that Gu Zhilong really grasped the command of the Qiuhu Army, and did not have to worry about being overtaken by Li Xiu and Chen Mingsheng, two deputy generals.

As the commander of a town, the official position and authority are higher than the state assassin history, after all, since the previous dynasty, the state of Guangzhi Prefecture, the state of Dachu and the state of the Qin and Han dynasties are not the same state at all.

There are more than 50 states in Dachu, and the state assassins are moved from the civil and military generals above the fifth rank and the fourth grade.

As for the hereditary duke's reward proposed by Yang Yuanpu in Yueyang, Li Pu didn't want to mention it now, he believed that Gu Zhilong knew about it, and he didn't have the face to ask for the hereditary duke's reward at this time.

Whether Langxi fell or not, the situation before and after was very different for Gu Zhilong.

And Li Pu was willing to hand over the military power at this time, in addition to his ability to control the Qiuhu Army as a liaison envoy, and the most important thing was to successfully recruit Gu Zhilong and Xuanzhou soldiers, which would pave the way for the two states of Sherao, as well as the Hongzhou Assassin Shi and Yuzhang County Wang Yang Zhitang.

This is what he is good at, and he doesn't want to give Han Wenhuan, Han Daochang and his son all the follow-up and more important recruitment credits.

He's the right ambassador for comfort.

"The Han family's field house in Xuanzhou, this time it will be replaced for free to settle the generals of the Chishan Army, and there is no problem?" Yao Xishui glanced at Han Jun and asked.

Han Jun gritted his back molars and said, "No problem." ”

Looking at Han Jun's expression, Li Pu guessed that Han Qian should have asked Zhang Ping or Yuan Guowei to communicate with Han Wenhuan in advance, and got Han Wenhuan's approval.

These farmhouses were originally instructed by the Han family to be instructed by the first emperor of the Han family to resell the Xuanzhou families at a low price, and the goods obtained in exchange were mainly to fund the three princes' use of troops in Tanzhou, and it was naturally not a problem to redeem them at the original price afterwards, but the Jinling Incident was unpredictable and there was no time to do it.

And Han Wenhuan is old and retired, after all, he is still the head of the family, he agrees, Han Qian, as Han Wenhuan's grandson, is willing to divide one-third of the farm house for corresponding replacement, of course, there is no problem.

However, Yao Xishui asked Han Jun this question at this time, probably to confirm that Han Daochang and Han Jun did not succumb to Han Qian because of Han Qian's strength, right?

The split Han family is finally a situation that everyone is happy to see, otherwise it would be too much of a headache.

As for Han Wenhuan, he is seventy-six years old at this time, and after this toss, Li Pu believes that he probably doesn't have a few years to live, right?

Li Pu discussed many details with Wei Zhen, Chen Mingsheng and others, confirmed that they were safe, and asked Yuan Guowei: "What does Boss Yuan think?" If there is no problem, I will ask Lord Zhou and Master Fu to come over and discuss important matters. ”

"Please ask Lord Hou to deal with everything." Yuan Guowei sighed slightly in his heart, knowing how much compromise Han Qian and the Chishan Army had made in order to unite many forces as much as possible and calm down the chaos in Jinling as quickly as possible, as long as Li Pu and Gu Zhilong could negotiate the conditions as soon as possible and achieve the goal that Han Qian expected, of course he was noncommittal.

Zhou Yuanhe and Fu Mo came over, and when they heard Li Pu talk about the merger, they also felt that it was not a big problem, but after all, they had to rush back, and Gu Zhilong would take the idea.

Li Pulin asked Wei Zhen and Han Jun to accompany Zhou Yuanhe and Fu Mo to Xuancheng to meet Gu Zhilong, and strive to finalize this matter in the shortest possible time.

As long as Gu Zhilong agreed, he would directly lead the Qiuhu Army to Jilong Mountain in the north of Xuancheng, and then wait for Yue Yang's further will to determine the name, and then send people to Shezhou, Raozhou, and Hongzhou......
