Han Qian actually suggested slowing down the pursuit of Shao Heng's two rebels, and everyone was stunned.

Li Chong, who was sitting under his father Li Pu, Marquis of Xinchang, was the first to hold back and asked, "Why did Lord Han suggest this, isn't this the best opportunity to take advantage of victory and chase the enemy?" ”

Han Qian ignored Li Chong, glanced at Wen Ruilin, who was sitting between Li Chong and Chai Jian, and saw that his face was gloomy, and then he took the corner of his eye and looked at Gao Long and Miao Yong, who were sitting under Guo Liang and Gao Chengyuan.

Gao Long looked like he had nothing to do with himself, Miao Yong, who was in his early thirties, was attached to the painting of killing horses, and he was also born in Tanzhou with a brave martial arts, but at this moment, he was the same as Wen Ruilin, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he seemed to be guessing why Han Qian suggested that Shao Heng and the rebels should be let go of a way to live.

Miao Yong suddenly saw Han Qian's fierce eyes looking at him, as if he was startled, but there was no movement, Han Qian just noticed that his hands pressed on the table suddenly sank.

Han Qian quickly withdrew his eyes from Miao Yong, walked to the case of the third prince, stretched out his hand to make tea and quickly wrote ten numbers on the tea: "At this time, if you gather the elite to go south, you will either be frustrated and invincible, or you will be able to defeat Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia within half a month, but after that, Your Majesty will summon His Royal Highness to return to Beijing, can His Royal Highness stay in Tanzhou?" ”

Shen Yang, Yang Jian, Xinchang Hou Li Pu and Zheng Hui all sat on the left and right sides of the Three Princes, the closest distance, but Han Qian blocked Yang Jian's vision with his body, and only Shen Yang, Xinchang Hou Li Pu and Zheng Hui all saw what he wrote in front of the case of the Three Princes with tea.

Shen Yang, Xinchang Hou Li Pu, and Zheng Hui all fell silent for a while.

It was also true that the battle of cutting the domain in Tanzhou was going too smoothly, far exceeding everyone's expectations, so that Shen Yang and the others did not seriously consider the follow-up matters after the war of cutting the domain.

After seeing that the third prince saw these ten numbers clearly, Han Qian stretched out his hand and wiped them out, and then stood up and said to Chai Jian and the others: "The soldiers and horses have been fighting for months, the soldiers are tired and the soldiers are sluggish, and the grain and grass are difficult to continue, which is one of them; Out of Hengzhou and into Yongzhou, the Hunan water flow is dangerous, which is not conducive to the operation of the naval division warships, which is the second also; It was the height of summer, and the roads were muddy, and the landslides and streams were the third; When the miasma is frequent, the epidemic is frequent, and it is the fourth - there are these four points, at this time, the army is gathered to attack and defect in the south, and the chance of victory is only five or five. In addition, the Liang army has gathered troops in Caizhou and can go south to look at Nanyang at any time, and the elite of the Dragon Bird Army needs to be ready to go north for reinforcements......"

The number of ten written in tea is not a reason that can be said publicly, and Han Qian advocated postponing the pursuit of Luo Jia and Zhao Sheng's defections, so he naturally needed other more sufficient reasons to persuade more generals and officials.

Of course, the real reason is the number ten written in the tea.

Everything went well, and it would take half a month or a month to defeat the bloated rebels of Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia, but that also meant that the battle of cutting the feudal domain was completely over.

The task of the Three Princes and the Dragon Bird Army will be completed, and even if the crown prince and the Xin Wang family have no other conspiracy, they will inevitably strongly advocate that the three princes lead the Dragon Bird Army to return to the dynasty, and hand over the governance of Tanzhou after the war to the Privy Council and Shangshu Province to take over.

Although the sharing of the fruits of victory after the war was absolutely indispensable to the Linjiang County Palace, it was not as good as when they fully controlled the military and political power of Dongting Lake during the period when the war was not over.

And they want to demote so many troops to generals, keep the weak and keep the strong, integrate into the county king's mansion, and integrate into the dragon and bird army, how can one or two months be enough?

There is another main reason, that is, what conspiracy is deployed by Anning Palace and King Xin, he still can't see the whole picture, and it is much safer to stay in Tanzhou than to return to Jinling.

Han Qian's current suggestion was to send a group of soldiers and horses to occupy Shaozhou, and then take Ma Yin, Ma Xun's father and son, and other captured rebel generals in Tanzhou to Jinling for disposal.

At this time, the war of cutting the feudal domain has not completely ended, and before there are other huge changes, the imperial court can naturally only continue to hand over the post-war disposal of Tanzhou and the subsequent suppression of the rebels to the three princes......

Xinchang Hou Li Pu and Zheng Hui wanted to understand, and naturally changed their attitudes; Shen Yang sighed slightly, and did not object.

Although Yang Jian didn't see the number ten written by Han Qian in front of the case of the three princes, his attitude was still like that, unless His Majesty had other clear wills handed down, otherwise, it would be better for him to cooperate with the three princes first.

Han Qian, Shen Yang, Xinchang Hou Li Pu and Zheng Hui made their attitudes clear, Yang Jian was noncommittal, and even if the others were full of confusion, there was no room for beaks, so they immediately decided to take Li Zhihe as the main general, and Zhang Han and Zhou Yi as the deputy generals to go south to recover Shaozhou first.

Li Zhihe, Zhang Han, and Zhang Feng have been fighting in a hurry in the past two months, and the attrition is relatively serious, and only 6,000 elites can continue to march in the three departments combined.

In addition, Han Qian also suggested that Lin Haizheng lead a battalion of the Wuling Army to follow Li Zhihe and them into Wugang County, Shaozhou, and try to open up the Xuefeng Mountain Post Road between Wugang County, Shaozhou and Wukou Village, Xuzhou.

Between Xuzhou and Shaozhou, it is blocked by the snow peaks and mountains of six or seven hundred miles from north to south, if you go north to Dongting Lake from the Yuan River, and then go south from the Xiangjiang River to Shaozhou, there is almost 14,500 miles of long waterway, and between Qianyang City in Xuzhou and Wugang County in Shaozhou, there is an ancient post road that was opened in the Han Dynasty.

For Xuzhou, opening up this ancient post road, in addition to directly reinforcing the operations of Li Zhihe's troops in Shaozhou, will also create an important business travel channel with southern Hunan, Yunnan, and even Hongzhou, Yuanzhou and other southern Jiangxi regions.

In addition, everyone also agreed that Yang Jian, Marquis of Zhenyuan, would escort Ma Yin and other rebels back to Beijing for trial first, and the existing battle reports should also be submitted to His Majesty's case.

Xinchang Hou Li Pu, as the main general who captured Tanzhou City, was also fully responsible for all affairs in Tanzhou in a short period of time, and many affairs had not yet been assigned to Shen Yang, Han Qian, and Zheng Hui.

At present, Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, Li Chong, Chai Jian and others are concentrated in the mansion of Ma Zihua, the former governor of Dadu.

After the military discussion, Li Chong returned to the mansion, and the first to ask his father impatiently: "Han Qian, this erector, has always been on the wrong side of the sword, but today he has a great change of heart, and what did he write in front of His Highness's case with tea, and asked his father to change his mind together?" ”

Xinchang Hou Li Pu wanted to speak, Wen Ruilin smiled and said: "Hou Ye and Rong Ruilin guess?" ”

"Mr. Wen, please speak." Xinchang Hou Li Pu said.

"I guess Lord Han is probably worried that the first battle of the feudal domain will end prematurely, and the third prince will be recalled to Jinling, right?" Wen Ruilin smiled calmly.

"Mr. Wen is really talented, I knew this earlier, when I learned about the letter, I asked Mr. Wen to discuss the decision first, and I will not ask Han Qian to steal the limelight today." Xinchang Hou Li Pu said with regret.

The ten numbers written by Han Qian in front of the case of the three princes today can be said to determine the strategic choice of the county prince's mansion in the next one to two years.

Others didn't realize this in time, which meant that Han Qian's position in the minds of the three princes was not something that anyone could replace in a short period of time.

"Lord Han is indeed talented, Wen doesn't dare to compete with him," Wen Ruilin said humbly, "And in addition to this, Ruilin thinks that what Hou Ye has to worry about more is the young man next to Changxiang Hou?" ”

"What's wrong with the boy?" Xinchang Hou was stunned for a moment and asked.

"If Rui Lin is not clumsy, that young man should be a woman dressed as a man, and his posture is definitely good," Wen Ruilin said, "Rui Lin specially asked people to inquire today, that young man and Changxiang Hou Wang Yong lived in a separate room, it should not be Wang Yong with him to comfort the lonely beauty of the hometown - Rui Lin heard that the young daughter of the lord of Shu, Wang Jian, the young daughter of the lord of Qingyang, was young and crowned the Shu capital......"

The Marquis of Xinchang was slightly stunned, he could understand the meaning of Wen Ruilin's words at this time: The target of the county lord of Qingyang to enter Chu with the Marquis of Changxiang this time is the third prince?

Even if Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, disregards the opposition of the Liang State and wants to marry Chu, it is impossible for his daughter to marry any county king of the Chu State as a side concubine, but the third prince has the opportunity to take the throne, so it is different.

When the county lord of Qingyang marries, how can he be a noble concubine at that time, and it will not even threaten the throne of his daughter Li Yao......

The next day, Han Qian went out of the city on behalf of the three princes to send Li Zhihe and other troops south, and only after reaching Caozhiling, thirty miles south of the city, did he restrain his horse and look at the soldiers and horses carrying supplies for seven days to go south.

Shaozhou is located in the southwest of Tanzhou, although there are streams and rivers into the Hunan water, but the flow of rapids and beaches is dangerous, not conducive to the southward movement of the naval division of the Lou Boat Army, Li Zhihe and they decided to lead the troops to take the land route, from the valley road at the west foot of Hengshan Mountain, into the territory of Shaozhou, but if you want to go to Shaoyang County, you still have to take six or seven days, as far as 400 miles of land to arrive.

Even if everything goes well, if we want to see each other again, I'm afraid it will be two or three months later.

As the army moved away, the sky changed abruptly, and it rained heavily.

Although the weather was much cooler, seeing the turbid streams and rivers in the mountains swelling, a large number of dead branches and broken trees rushing out of the mountains, and the roads becoming muddy, Han Qian secretly felt that even if it was not out of selfishness, it should be a blessing to suspend the pursuit of Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia.

Otherwise, more than 20,000 elites rushed south, and I really don't know how many accidents will happen on the way.

When the rain stopped, Han Qian, escorted by Xi Ying, Xi Fa'er and others, slowly returned to the city.

The south of Tanzhou City did not suffer the devastation of the war, the fields were idyllic, the green trees were shady, the mountain flowers were splendid, and they walked slowly, and only returned to the Jiedu Embassy when it was nearly dusk.

At this time, Yang Jian, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, escorted the rebel head Ma Yin, Ma Xun and his son, the Ma clan, and the captive generals and more than 5,000 people from their families, and they had also left Tanzhou City and embarked on a journey back to Jinling to report the victory.

Yang Jian all the way to assemble the sailing ships down the river, after the summer water is strong, it will be the first day to arrive at Jinling, that is to say, half a month soon, a month later, Han Qian in Tanzhou City will be able to receive a new reward from Emperor Tianyou.

Han Qian was going to the main hall to find the third prince to send him off, and entered the front office of the Jiedu Embassy, and took Xi Ying, who was dressed as a man, to walk on a stone bridge across the Qingshui Pond, and saw that Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, was walking out of the main hall to the stone bridge with a young man pretending to be the lord of Qingyang.

"I heard that Lord Han is good at scheming, Da Chu can reverse the disadvantage of the Jingxiang battle situation, and this time the cutting of the feudal domain can be so smooth, many people say that Lord Han has made a great contribution," Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, stood under the stone bridge and asked, "Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia's rebels can be said to be at the end of the road, and the soldiers and horses of Da Chu should take advantage of the victory to pursue and compete for all the merits, Wang Yong thought to himself that Lord Shen might be cautious in using troops, but he never thought that it was Lord Han who advocated taking Shaozhou and Hengzhou first - can Lord Han solve Wang Yong's doubts?" ”

Han Qian glanced at Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong, and saw that they had just come from the Third Prince's side, and he didn't know if many things were directly told to them by the Third Prince, so he just smiled and said:

"Han is a small official of His Royal Highness, so where is the turn of Han to talk a lot about such a military event, and the Marquis of Changxiang has transcribed - by the way, the Marquis of Zhenyuan has already set off to escort the prisoners of war back to Jinling, why didn't the Marquis of Changxiang go with him?"

Xi Ying was more interested in the young man next to Changxiang Hou Wang Yong, and the young man seemed to be more interested in Xi Ying, and the two looked at each other.

"Ben Hou and His Royal Highness are also familiar at first sight, how can they meet in a hurry and say goodbye in a hurry? Ben Hou asked Chen Shilang of the Ministry of Rites to go to Jinling with the two Yang Hou Ye first, and Ben Hou was in Tanzhou for a few more days, presumably your lord would not blame. Seeing that Han Qian deliberately diverted the topic, Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, did not continue to entangle, but just said with a smile.

"Tanzhou may not be as prosperous as Shudu, but the scenery is also good, and Changxianghou may be able to make a few more masterpieces." Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong was willing to stay in Tanzhou, and Han Qian was not qualified to drive him away, so he just said with a smile.

"Speaking of masterpieces, Ben Hou just read the Defense Envoy's "Epidemic Water Sparse" from His Royal Highness, which is called a hand-me-down Xiongwen, Ben Hou has a few small words, it is really not worth mentioning, if you have the opportunity, you should meet the Defense Envoy." Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong looked at Han Qian expectantly and said.

Han Qian didn't expect the three princes to take out the epidemic water and sparse all to show Changxiang Hou Wang Yong, at this time, seeing Changxiang Hou Wang Yong seemed to be more interested in his father, and he also secretly felt a headache, so he said a few perfunctory words, so he said goodbye and rushed to the main hall to see the three princes.
