The Feng family's secret treasure house is located in the depths of the northern foot of Maoshan Mountain, surrounded by high mountains and deep valleys, and the valley in front is relatively open, which can be stationed with slightly more soldiers and horses, and there is a passage to go to the big Mao Peak and Lei Ping Peak at the middle foot of Maoshan Mountain.

The valley near Damao Peak and Lei Ping Peak is also the main gathering place for forty or fifty thousand women and children, Han Qian stationed the main force at the northern foothills, not afraid of being besieged by a small number of elite soldiers and horses in the valley of the northern foothills, and once the enemy sends elite soldiers and horses to bypass and attack the women and children in the middle and southern foothills, he can also divide troops from the narrow roads in the mountains to reinforce in time.

Before the Chuzhou army and the Anning Palace had further reactions, Han Qian planned to use this village courtyard as his temporary commander to reorganize the troops and horses, so that they could also use the middle and southern foothills of Maoshan Mountain behind them as a deep hinterland to relieve some of the pressure.

Han Qian saw that the night was dark, and directly designated a single courtyard on the west side, imprisoned Wang Jun and two maidservants, and asked Shi Ji to select ten healthy women who could be trusted, and stared inside and outside the hospital, but he had no way to stop and rest.

Although the terrain of Maoshan is available, it is not a majestic mountain like Xuefeng Mountain or Wuling Mountain after all.

In the Maoshan Mountain, where the highest peak is only 100 zhang high, the difficulty of sheltering nearly 50,000 women and children with 3,000 remnants of soldiers is conceivable, not to mention that the two armies of Anning Palace and Chuzhou, which are twenty or thirty times stronger, are close at hand.

At present, the Jiangcheng City controlled by the Anning Palace and the Shouzhou Army is only 30 miles away from the northern foot of Maoshan Mountain, and the Danyang City that was destroyed by a fire after they were defeated today is 50 miles away from the east of the northern foot of Maoshan Mountain, and the Jingshan Nunnery where the vanguard of the Chuzhou Army is located is about 40 miles away from the northern foot of Maoshan Mountain, Dantu City, where the main force of the Chuzhou Army is located, is more than 70 miles away from the northern foot of Maoshan Mountain, and Jinling City is about 80 miles away from the northern foot of Maoshan Mountain.

At such a close distance, Han Qian led 3,000 remnants of soldiers and nearly 50,000 women and children to be said to be at the mouth of the two evil dragons, as long as one of them pounced on them, even if they couldn't kill Han Qian and them immediately, they would be covered in bruises.

At present, in addition to the 3,000 remnants of soldiers, Han Qian has selected 3,000 healthy women and 3,000 teenagers between the ages of 12 and 15 from among the women and children to form a women's battalion and a juvenile battalion.

The soldiers in Taowu were born in the Jianghuai region, and were forced to be displaced by the war, and the fierce folk customs and the years of purgatory-like suffering also made the women of the soldiers fierce and brave and resolute, and were not afraid of life and death.

For a long time, the Taowu military households have practiced semi-military management, and the healthy women with strong bodies and fierce styles are selected and armed for arming, and their combat effectiveness is not necessarily much weaker than that of ordinary local state battalion generals.

There are only 3,000 remnants of soldiers who can't be trapped in Maoshan, whether it is to collect grain or expand their momentum, they have to go out of Maoshan guerrilla prefectures and counties in batches, and Han Qian will inevitably need the women's battalion and the juvenile battalion to supplement the lack of internal guard forces in Maoshan.

Regardless of the grievances of Kong Xirong and Wei Chang, Han Qian designated them to be responsible for commanding the women's battalion and the juvenile battalion, and Guo Nuer was assigned to be responsible for scout reconnaissance, with Zhao Wuji, Yuan Guowei and Dou Rong, who served as the deputy battalion commander in the Shaozhou Army, each commanding 800 remnants, while Shi Ji and Xiao Dahu commanded a 500-person personal guard battalion.

Although the generals from the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and some of the grassroots military attaches were eliminated, Han Qian brought 50 people from Xuzhou in the first batch, plus a group of veterans with rich combat experience were selected from the soldiers to serve as grassroots military attachés, and Yuan Guowei also had more than 20 elite scouts from Jinyun Tower who withdrew from Jinling, and the establishment of 3,000 remnants and the women's battalion and the juvenile battalion was barely maintained.

Han Qian put down the armor and weapons hidden in the secret vault of the village that night, and also hured up every minute to cut down bamboo and wood, make bamboo guns and spears, make wooden walls and bamboo fences, and prevent horses and deer antlers, and dig trenches in Gukou and other places where the terrain is easy to attack......

Without a staff team headed by Feng Yi and others, Zhao Wuji, Yuan Guowei, and Kong Xirong had to use all the time to familiarize themselves with their men and horses as soon as possible, seize the time to train, and Han Qian could only do it himself.

After taking away the military power from Li Pu, Han Qian didn't close his eyes much, and when he was tired, he just rested against the wall or chair for a while.

Li Pu and Chen Mingsheng occupied a courtyard on the east side, and threw their hands to live in it late at night to rest, but tonight Han Qian was destined not to dare to slack off in the slightest, and he didn't close his eyes on the bed until the light of day.

It's just that he felt that he had just closed his eyes for a while, and when he heard the footsteps outside the room, he woke up again, and saw through the window that the sun had climbed up the treetops, but he didn't expect him to sleep for nearly a while.

Seeing that it was Shi Ji's cautious probe that looked in, looking like he was well-informed and afraid of disturbing himself, Han Qian rubbed his face suddenly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"There is a vote of men, about 300 cavalry, claiming to be the palace guard of the palace of Zhedong County, Hongzhou, and approaching the west foot of Xiaomao Peak before a stick of incense, asking to see the adults; Xinchang Marquis, he and Chen Mingsheng rushed to Xiaomaofeng first! Shi Ji said.

The people of Li Yu?

Han Qian was slightly stunned, his brain was a little wooden, and he didn't understand for a while why the three hundred cavalry guards of the Zhedong County Mansion suddenly appeared at the northern foot of Maoshan across thousands of miles of space at this time, but Li Pu, as Li Yu's younger brother and general, he and Chen Mingsheng rushed to Xiaomaofeng, and the identities of these people should not be fake.

"Are these people sure they want to see me, not offer to see Lipp?" Han Qian asked.

"Yes, he was intercepted by the sentry post we arranged at Xiaomaofeng, and he asked to see the adult by name as soon as possible." Shi Ji said with great certainty.

At this time, Yuan Guowei walked in, and when he heard Shi Ji talk about the fact that the three hundred palace guards of the Zhedong County Mansion rushed to Xiaomaofeng, he was also extremely confused and asked: "Isn't the Zhewang County Mansion being stared at by Yang Zhitang, how can there be a palace guard to come to Maoshan?" Do you want to send a team of soldiers and horses over......

Yuan Guowei was worried that the three hundred guards of the county king's mansion would join Li Pu, and Li Pu might be tempted to regain military power, thinking of transferring a team of men and horses over just in case.

Han Qian looked at the peaks in the south, and he understood a little in his heart, shook his head and said to Yuan Guowei: "Li Yu may also be in Maoshan Mountain. ”

“…… How is this determined? Yuan Guowei asked in shock.

Yuan Guowei, as a veteran who followed Emperor Tianyou to conquer the north and south in his early years, naturally had already seen the demeanor of the first general of Great Chu, but he never imagined that Li Yu was in Maoshan at this time.

Yuan Guowei, as a transactional veteran, is competent in charge of the daily work of Jinyun Tower, even if he is nearly sixty years old, there is no problem in supervising the formation and commanding a battalion of soldiers and horses to charge into battle, but he and Jiang Yu failed to grow into senior generals of Dachu in their early years, and they are indeed inferior to Zheng Hui and Li Zhihe in terms of overall strategy, and they are not even as good as Gao Chengyuan, Guo Liang, Tian Cheng and others, not to mention Han Qian.

Therefore, he still didn't understand it at all at this time, how could Han Qian be sure that Li Yu had left the former residence of Hongzhou, and his people were most likely in Maoshan at this time, and not the palace guards of the county king's mansion were ordered to come directly to serve Li Pu, Marquis of Xinchang?

"Shi Ji just said, people came over and directly named me by name, indicating that they have been lurking near Maoshan for not a day or two, and it is probably Li Yu's strategy to peek through Wang Wenqian's siege!" Han Qian explained slightly.

Yuan Guowei thought about it, these people had been lurking nearby for a long time, they didn't come to serve Li Pu, and they also knew that Han Qian took away the military power from Li Pu, and there was no soldier to meet each other, except for Li Yu, the king of Zhedong County, who else could do it?

Yuan Guowei asked again: "Where does Lord Han think that Prince Li may be hiding?"

In the middle of the hermitage, I will lead someone over and invite him to meet him? ”

"Since Li Yu doesn't show up, there is a reason why he doesn't show up, what are we forcing him to show up?" Han Qian said, "Let's go see the guards sent by Li Pu......

Although Li Yu handed over the military power very early, he was named the king of the county and returned to the former residence of Hongzhou to live in seclusion, but the county king's mansion was organized with a battalion of elite guards as Li Yu's personal subordinates, and was only responsible for the Gongwei county palace and the Li family, and was not restricted by the local state government.

This battalion of elite guards is also a soldier carefully cultivated by Li Yuzhishi over the years of seclusion, and its combat effectiveness is by no means measurable by ordinary elite cavalry.

Han Qian didn't expect this elite cavalry to obey his command, but as long as they stayed near Maoshan and fought together, they could share a considerable part of the pressure for them.

"Xiu'er, Moo'er, when did you arrive in Jinling?"

Seeing his nephew Li Xiu and his youngest son Li Qi, who was thrown into Hongzhou for foster care many years ago, standing in front of the mountain with a horse, Xinchang Hou Li Pu was so excited that his eyes were full of tears, he had been bullied by Han Qian, a dog thief, in the past few days, thinking about the grievances of the past few days, he couldn't help but say in a trembling voice,

"If only you could come four or five days earlier."

Chen Mingsheng was also very excited, thinking that Li Xiu, Li Qi and others would lead the three hundred elite palace guards of the County King's Mansion five days in advance, and if Han Qian dared to seize the military power, they would be able to cut him into meat sauce on the spot, but it didn't seem too late at this time, he secretly pulled Li Pu's sleeve.

There are only 300 remnants at the western foot of Xiaomao Peak, and there are only more than 100 guards around Han Qian, so they can completely take 300 guards to break over, kill directly to the Zhuangyuan, control Han Qian's gang, and regain military power.

Chen Mingsheng didn't notice that Li Xiu looked embarrassed when he faced Li Pu's questioning.

"We actually came here a long time ago, but Uncle and Brother Xiu went to Jinling first, and asked me to take someone to hide in Jilong Mountain, and it wasn't until last night that I was notified to lead the guards to Maoshan to see my father." Li Zhen looked aggrieved, ignoring Li Xiu's previous warning, and directly pointed out that his uncle Li Yu was nearby, but he hid in the mountains and did not show up.

Xinchang Marquis Li Pu was shocked and inexplicable, stared at Li Xiu in disbelief and asked, "Your father is also here, where is the other?" ”

Li Xiu looked embarrassed and said, "My father didn't let me say where he was, but just asked me and Li Qian to come over and help Han Qian guard Maoshan as much as possible!" ”

Xinchang Hou Li Pu was completely punched in the chest at this moment, and sat down on the stump of the fallen tree on the side.

If it weren't for Wang Jun's strategy to break the siege of the Chuzhou army, he might not understand why his eldest brother Li Yu would make such an arrangement, but he still can't figure it out at this moment, it's too stupid.

His eldest brother is the kind of fool who longs for the world to stop the war as soon as possible and return the people to recuperate, so he handed over the military power so easily, but he didn't mean to help the gods at all.

At that time, he and his eldest brother quarreled and parted ways, except for putting his young son in Hongzhou foster care, he did not have much contact, and even did not pass a letter for ten years.

His eldest brother should also have seen through the siege strategy of the Chuzhou army, and he couldn't bear to see the millions of people in Jinling under the siege too bad, so he ordered Li Xiu to lead the guards to come over to help Han Qian, instead of serving him.

After all, his eldest brother never took him to heart.

At this moment, Xinchang Marquis Li Pu was both frustrated and annoyed in his heart, but when he saw the grievance on Qi'er's face and Li Xiu's rather difficult appearance, a fire ignited in his heart......

Yes, his eldest brother is broad-minded and bright-minded, but it does not mean that the juniors who grew up in the Li family have no desire and ambition for secular power and meritorious achievements, and his eldest brother's illness is getting worse, is it possible that he can forever suppress the ambition of Li Xiu and other Li family athletes to pursue fame and fortune?
