Regarding the preparation of the new naval army, Yang Zhitang, Yang Fan and his son talked about Han Qian in the middle of the night, and did not go to the arranged post house to rest until late at night.

Early the next morning, Yang Fan led the Longyouwu army that had participated in the battle before to cross the river and withdraw to the south bank, Yang Zhitang, accompanied by Han Qian, Han Daochang and others, went to Liyang City, Shiquan Daying, Tingshan Daying, and Puyang Daying to reward the meritorious generals, and it was not until March 15 that he separated from Han Qian at the south wharf of Tangyi City, and crossed the river directly from Tangyi to return to Jinling.

Of course, when boarding the ship from the pier, Yang Zhitang did not give Han Qian a formal answer.

Han Daochang also returned to Jinling with Yang Zhitang, standing on the deck, holding the side to look at the new green grass and trees on the north bank, on the river beach on both sides of the wharf, the reeds had already grown out of the river mud, and before you knew it, it was already a warm spring season.

Although the casualties of the Tangyi soldiers in successive battles can be said to be tragic, Han Daochang crossed the river for nearly a month this time, and the Shouzhou army in the north was extremely calm.

Even though more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians withdrew from the peaks and ridges in the southern section of the Wujian Mountains, Chuzhou and Chaozhou did not send troops to intercept them.

It can be seen that in these bloody battles with extremely short intervals, the Shouzhou army suffered more tragic casualties and suffered more serious injuries.

What's more, the so-called Shouzhou army, which has a large number of people, has not yet recovered, the southwest is the Huaixi Forbidden Army under Li Zhihe, who has stabilized its position, and the southeast is the Yangzhou soldiers and horses under Wang Wenqian and Zhao Zhen of Huaidong, and the pressure is not small.

As far as the Shouzhou Army is concerned, if it is careless and encounters irreparable heavy losses on the southern front, it is very likely that the situation that has been reversed with great difficulty will collapse.

Han Daochang thought to himself that Xu Mingzhen, as a figure as famous as Li Yu, also understood these truths.

At present, Xu Mingzhen, Wen Bo and others have slowed down the pace and given priority to stabilizing their positions in Chaozhou and Chuzhou, which is not difficult to understand; Even the cavalry of the Liang army withdrew to the north bank of the Huai River to rest before the Huai River thawed.

The current situation is a rare respite for all parties, to accumulate strength, and wait for the next confrontation to come.

Han Daochang thought of the situation when he accompanied his eldest brother to cross the river to Tangyi two months ago, and it was really hard to imagine that Han Qian could send troops from the isolated city of Tangyi in just two months and expand the depth of defense directly to the east bank of Chaohu Lake......

…………

"Will Yang Zhitang agree to our conditions?"

The boat that Yang Zhitang and Han Daochang were on was getting farther and farther away, and Feng Yi stood beside Han Qian and asked.

He looked at the looming Jinling City on the south bank, and couldn't help but wonder why Han Qian didn't ask for a clear answer when Yang Zhitang left.

"I didn't ask for any conditions,"

Han Qian stood with his hands in his hands, looked at Chu Tian's silhouette, and said,

"Many of my suggestions are also precautions, Yang Zhitang may be able to ignore them, but when the Liang army's sailors harass the Jianghuai coast, first, it is inevitable that some fishermen and salt people will be forced to flee into the mainland and become homeless, and most of them will be evacuated to Tangyi at that time; First, there are no elite soldiers and horses in Huaidong Yanchang and Suxiu Prefecture, and the local soldiers in the prefectures and counties are not brave enough to resist the invasion of a strong enemy, and when the time comes, they can only transfer the right Longwu army to the east to assist in defense. And at that time, even if there is a new compilation of a sailor, and there is a lesson from Hong Zepu first, the princes of the court will not easily let it out to fight-the results that can be expected in the next year or two are actually no different from what I suggested. I believe that Yang Zhitang, a smart person, can already understand these truths at this time, but he is not sure enough whether the Liang army has the intention of attacking and disturbing from the coastal sea when it builds a naval camp and shipyard in Haizhou. As long as he confirms this, we should be able to work happily with him for three to five years. ”

"That's all

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Three or five years? Feng Yi asked with a smile.

"The situation is changing, how can you predict how it will change in three or five years?" Han Qian asked with a smile.

Feng Yi spread his hands and smiled, and said: "This is also true, thinking about what kind of scenery Li Chong was at the beginning, how much he looked down on us, who would have expected him to end up like this?" But then again, I'm also greedy for life and afraid of death, if I am caught by Liang Jun like him, most of them will give in, what will you do to me? ”

"It is said that it is better to die than to live, you, come back and rely there to make trouble, isn't it done? Could it be that playing birds and listening to music for a lifetime is not enough for you to pass the life? Han Qian said with a smile.

"Then I am more reliable in Liang Country, and I can help consume more food from Liang Jun, so I can be worthy of you." Feng Yi said with a salivating face.

Feng Yi had no scruples about talking and laughing in front of Han Qian, but Qiao Weiyan, Han Chengmeng, and Chen Zhiyong, who were standing on the side, were very envious in their hearts.

Speaking of which, when the servant slave beside Han Duan was killed and injured in Lanting Lane, Han Qian was full of sharp and piercing edges in the eyes of everyone in the Han family, and his temperament was gloomy and ruthless, so that people did not dare to get close to him at all.

The main reason is that as concubines and sons-in-law, they are usually not used to seeing Han Jun and Han Duan's domineering attitude, so they have no ill feelings towards Han Qian, and then they also saw the rise of Xuzhou and can look at his dazzling exploits more fairly.

Han Chengmeng and Qiao Weiyan realized the crisis of the Han family earlier, and when they wanted to think about the civil unrest in Sizhou, Han Chengmeng, as a Huanghua attaché, rushed to Xuzhou to show goodwill, but they were not received close to Xuzhou.

Who would have thought that such a drastic change would happen again in just one year?

The Han family is now completely betting on Jiangbei, Han Chengmeng and Chen Zhiyong are also serving in the Tangyi army, but they are under Feng Yi and Gao Shao respectively, and there are not many opportunities to contact Han Qian, and the relationship is not close to now.

Today, I still saw off Yang Zhitang and his second uncle Han Daochang, and they came to the dock together, and they didn't know whether to return to the city first, or continue to accompany them.

When Han Chengmeng, Chen Zhiyong, and Qiao Weiyan were thinking about advancing and retreating, Han Qian remembered something, looked at Qiao Weiyan, and asked: "In the past, I had a bad relationship with my family, and you only had the opportunity to serve in Wugang, third brother, but at this time, unlike in the past, Wugang County is the eastern gateway of the Xuefeng Mountain Post Road, not to mention Chai Jian, Lu Qingxia and others, there will inevitably be people in the court to advise, so as to transfer you from Wugang as soon as possible." Third brother, what are your plans for the future, do you want to return to the DPRK to take up a post? ”

"But if you can do something, you don't care where you are." Qiao Weiyan said.

"King Qin's edict to Wugang, you will be edicted to lead the soldiers of Wugang County, the people to come to the aid, this decision has been above others, I don't really want you to go back to the court to collude and fight, and learn about life - you go to Xuzhou to serve as an assistant in the state government first, will you feel condescending?" Han Qian asked.

Qiao Weiyan was already the commander of Wugang County at this time, and with the merits of the Han family, it was unrealistic for Han Daoming to go further in the political affairs hall, but as a talented descendant of the Han family, the thirty-six-year-old Qiao Weiyan was in the prime of life, even if he could not directly take charge of the military and political affairs of a state, how could he have two positions, Changshi and Sima.

Not to mention the officials, even if Liucao joins the army, in the state and county official system, it is lower than the county order.

However, after hearing Han Qian's words, Qiao Weiyan's expression was shocked, and he said, "How come? The military and political affairs of Xuzhou are different from those of other states and counties, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it as an adjutant. ”

Han Qian's words are very clear, don't say Han Chengmeng, even Chen Zhiyong, who has always been tired of his career, can understand it.

Chen Zhiyong crossed the river with his father-in-law Han Daoming and his second uncle Han Daochang, and it was already a year later, and when his father-in-law Han Daoming made up his mind, the Puyang River

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The battle is over.

In terms of time, Qiao Wei Yan Yuan should have relied on his own decision when he didn't know these things in Shaozhou, ignored Chai Jian's obstruction, and made up his mind to lead the soldiers and people of Wugang County to serve the king of Zhaoqin.

That's why Han Qian said that his decision was above others.

Han Qian sent Qiao Weiyan to Xuzhou as an assistant, not intentionally to give in, in fact, it was another sense of trust.

Han Qian was sitting in Tangyi at this time, but Xuzhou, as the foundation, must not be lost.

It's just that a large number of officials have been transferred to Tangyi, and how to maintain stable rule and development in Xuzhou in the future is not out of order, and there is great consideration.

Han Qian is in this context, hoping that Qiao Weiyan can serve in Xuzhou, how can he be regarded as condescending to him?

It's just that Xuzhou implements a new policy, and the system in all aspects is different from other states and counties, Qiao Weiyan is obviously not directly qualified for important positions such as Changshi and Sima, and replaces Han Qian in charge of government affairs or defense in Xuzhou, and may not even be able to take charge of the government of a county.

Chen Zhiyong knew in his heart that Han Qian's expectations for his brother-in-law Qiao Weiyan were, at least at this time, above him and Han Chengmeng.

"I believe that with the talent of the third brother, he will soon be able to adapt to the affairs of Xuzhou, and the uncle can be the deputy minister, and the eyesight of choosing a son-in-law will not be bad," Han Qian said with a smile, and said to Han Chengmeng, "The water of the river is gradually rising, and the Liang army is also stepping up time to build warships - the big ships built in Xuzhou in recent years, except for a few ships for Huaidong, all others will be incorporated into the navy, even if some merchant ships will be transformed into warships in the near future." For a considerable period of time in the future, Xuzhou goods will be transported to Zhuzhou County, and the transportation will become fragmented. I also thought of taking this opportunity to hand over these things to the Chishan Society, and Lin Sheng, Guo Quan and others would take care of their affairs - and by my side, it was originally Feng Yi who controlled the Chishan Society, but Feng Yi, as a long history, had too many things, and in the future, I would have to ask my eldest brother to disturb Feng Yi more in the future. ”

Feng Yi, Gao Shao and Guo Rong are the main assistants around Han Qian, Han Chengmeng said that he joined the army, but he actually served under Feng Yi, but there is no full-time affairs at present, mainly to do chores.

At present, Han Qian wants him to assist Feng Yi and be responsible for contacting the Chishan Society, so that he can really have something under his control.

The Chishan Society is based on the old department of the Zuoguang German Army, and it is nominally a Jianghu Gang, but it mainly inherits the role of the Xuzhou Boat Gang in the past and undertakes the business and trade between Xuzhou and Tangyi and the outside world.

In addition to the development of the Chishan Society itself, it will also undertake important tasks such as recruiting displaced people for Tangyi and Xuzhou, and spying on the intelligence of prefectures and counties.

At the beginning, the nine leaders of the Chishan Society, Han Qian transferred Han Donghu to his side as the commander of the guard battalion, Su Lie served as the deputy capital Yu Hou under Tian Cheng, Guo Xiao and Lin Jiang served as military officers under Gao Shao, and followed Guo Ke and Xi Fa'er to learn intelligence military reconnaissance and analysis.

Due to the importance of the Red Mountain Society, Han Qian needed to have someone by his side who was fully responsible for contacting the Red Mountain Society.

Before the war of cutting the domain, Han Chengmeng, as a concubine, was not allowed to be an official, and he had always assisted Han Daochang, the second uncle, in managing the family property with Han Duan, who was capable and had a stable personality.

Han Qian didn't trust Han Duan, but he could still trust Han Chengmeng.

During the civil turmoil in Sizhou, Han Qian had long known the kindness released by Han Chengmeng, but at that time, considering his situation and the identity of Tan Yuliang and others to be kept absolutely secret, he deliberately snubbed Han Chengmeng.

Chen Zhiyong has a lazy temperament, likes poetry and songs, and Feng Yi is a pair, and he has not shown any extraordinary talents in the past, and Han Qian can only ask him to be idle first.
