Gao Shao began to prepare for the evacuation overnight, mainly to load all the materials they had seized from the vicinity of Dongcheng into the car, and then collect more than 200 cattle, horses, mules and other large livestock, and wait until dawn the next day, while the temperature was not yet hot, send someone to find Li Pu to speak, and saw Li Xiu leading a group of soldiers and horses to take over the defense of Dongcheng, so he and Zhang Ping led 2,000 soldiers and horses to raise a camp to Donglu Mountain.

Lishui City is more than 30 miles away from the northern foot of Donglu Mountain, there is a gallop road to communicate, and it will rush to Donglu Mountain at noon.

At this time, the scouts who rushed back from the rear reported that Li Qian led 200 cavalry out of Lishui City before noon, and on the south bank of Dutang Lake, he defeated more than 300 cavalry of the Nanya Forbidden Army who came from Jiangcheng City to spy on the military situation.

In this small-scale cavalry contact battle, Li Qi led his troops to kill more than 100 enemy cavalry on the spot, and his own casualties were less than 10.

Although there are few cavalry under Li Yuan's command, this time it will probably be able to scare the Nanya forbidden army in Pingling, Jiangcheng and other cities into silence, and they don't even dare to scout and explore horses to the north of Lishui County, right?

Gao Shao left his soldiers and horses to rest in the temporary camp at the foot of the mountain, and he and Zhang Ping first rushed to Shangjiabao to meet Han Qian.

“…… Looking at this posture, Xinchanghou can't wait to be unique in Lishui City! ”

In addition to Lin Haizheng, Zhao Wuji and others who led the elite of the first capital of the Chishan Army to stay at the northern foot of Maoshan Mountain, staring at the Nanya Forbidden Army and the Chuzhou Army in the north and northwest, Feng Xuan, Zhou Chu, Zhao Qi, Kong Xirong and others led the second capital, the third capital and the elite of the guard battalion, all of which moved south to Donglushan in the past two days and stationed around Shangjiabao.

A large number of old and weak women and children are also moving south in batches.

At present, the passage to the south through the west wing of Maoshan is completely opened, with the continuation of the war situation, the continuous shortage of food in Jinling and nearby counties, there will be a large number of civilians fleeing south, and there will be more slaves and maids dragging their families to join them, Han Qian needs to hurry up at this time to evacuate the old and weak women and children to the south and east.

Gao Shao walked into the main hall in Shangjiabao and told Han Qian that Li Pu couldn't wait to take over the Lishui family and force the Lishui disciples to kill the prisoners and surrender their names, and he also unceremoniously stabbed Li Pu's intentions at this time in front of Zhang Ping.

Han Qian supported the long case with his hand, sat up straight, stretched him comfortably, and said calmly:

"What's so unsurprising about this? If Li Houye wants to be unique, it is nothing more than sending someone to ask Yue Yang for a new banner. ”

Zhang Ping hesitated for a while, and said: "Since the first emperor created the foundation of Great Chu, he has been trying to limit the scale of each family's private army all these years, and it is not easy to incorporate the forbidden army and the generals of the guards into the jurisdiction of the Zhucang Military Government, and it will no longer belong to any private family. Li Houye is now Xu Tou's attached family, and he directly leads the private soldiers into the battalion, which is somewhat regressive, but I don't know what Li Yu will think when he knows about this? ”

Seeing that Xinchang Hou Li Pu, Li Xiu, Li Qi and other Li children had been honestly stationed in Xiaomaofeng for nearly a month, Zhang Ping could more or less guess that Li Yu was probably hiding in or near Maoshan Mountain.

At present, Yue Yang's soldiers and horses in Jinling seem to have won two or three battles, but in fact they are still pitifully weak, and he does not want to have a serious disagreement between the two because of Xinchang Hou Li Pu and Han Qian's own set, causing Yue Yang's little situation that he has finally opened up here to be ruined.

Neither he nor Han Qian could dissuade Li Pu from going his own way, but he believed that Li Yu's words would definitely carry enough weight.

When he said this, he thought that Han Qian might be able to meet Li Yu officially.

Zhang Ping suggested that Han Qian go to see Li Yu, and Gao Shao, Yuan Guowei and others also felt that if Li Yu was near Maoshan, it might be more advantageous to see Li Yu.

Han Qian shook his head, but he didn't think that this was the time to see Li Yu.

If the time really comes, Li Yu will appear, why do he need to send people all over the mountains to look for it?

And he didn't think that going to see Li Yu would really have any good results.

Han Qian's state of mind has changed many times before and after, and he may know better than anyone what the younger generation of the Li family thinks and Li Yu's helplessness.

Once upon a time, where did he identify with his father's political ambitions?

Once upon a time, wasn't he full of thoughts about his father's political ambitions, which was an obstacle to him, and he didn't try to overcome this obstacle in every possible way?

Li Yu didn't come forward, and Li Xiu and Li Qi led the crowd to join Li Pu, they should also know very well what the younger generation of the county king's mansion thinks, right?

What Han Qian wants to do at this time is not to invite Li Yu, who is unwilling to show his face, to come out and force Li Pu, Li Xiu, Li Zhen and other young generals of the Li family to take the lead, but to take advantage of the situation, let Li Pu and others play their due role, and get through the difficulties in front of them first.

Seeing that Gao Shao, Zhang Ping, Yuan Guowei and others were still full of complaints, Han Qian comforted them and said:

"The military is a normal situation, the law is amorphous, and when it is urgent, it is even more necessary to act under authority. Li Houye's insistence on doing so is not necessarily a bad thing. King Xin also ordered the establishment of a new military government in Beigushan yesterday, and recruited strong slaves and maids from the three counties of Dantu, Danyang, and Jingkou as soldiers to make up for the shortage of troops in the battalions. ”

"From these three counties, the Chuzhou army can recruit thirty or forty thousand strong people into the camp, right?" Although Wang Wenqian's queen Jun had already broken this point and predicted that it would alleviate the resentment of the family when Han Qian ordered the conscription of slaves and maids into the army, Zhang Ping and Gao Shao were still shocked.

After all, in addition to the resentment and hostility of the family lords, the threat from the Chuzhou army and the Anning Palace was more direct and urgent.

The strength of the Chuzhou army on the south bank of the Yangtze River will soon exceed 100,000, and then they will no longer divide their troops on the southern front on a scale of two or three thousand as if they were adding oil to the lamp, as in the past, and it is very likely that 230,000 men and horses will rush south.

Especially in the battle of Shangjiabao, the Chishan Army should have attracted enough attention from King Xin and the Chuzhou Army.

Han Qian held his hand on the long case and said: "So, the situation is critical and changing rapidly, and it is always a good thing that Hou Ye Li is willing to do more things and bear more." ”

As far as Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, is concerned, since he chose to stay after being seized of military power, he must be unwilling to be subordinate to him; Yao Xishui chased Zhang Ping and Lin Haizheng and they rushed to Jinling, but they did not show up for the first time, let alone a master who kept to himself.

From Li Pu and Yao Xishui taking the initiative to ask to fight Lishui City, Han Qian was very clear about what they thought in their hearts, and it was not surprising that they could easily take Lishui City and that they couldn't wait to form their own after absorbing and surrendering the family.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties fell to the previous dynasties for more than 1,000 years, the imperial court did not have a special institution, and the training of military attaches and middle and senior generals was mainly completed by the inheritance within the Jiangmen - which also had an extremely complex and deep-rooted relationship with the social and political foundation of the family gatekeepers.

Li Yu, as the first general of Great Chu, even if he has been in hiding for many years, is only Chai Jian, Li Chong, Zhou Shu, Zhou Yuan, Chen Mingsheng and the like, which does not reflect the true heritage of the Li family as the first general since the rise of Great Chu.

The rise of Li Xiu, Li Qi and other young generals of the Li clan will shine dazzlingly on the battlefield when they have the opportunity, what can be surprising?

Under the hard work of Li Xiu, Li Qi and other young generals of the Li family, it was easy to take Lishui City, Li Pu's confidence swelled, and he wanted to form his own line according to Lishui and no longer be restrained by his side, what was surprising?

As for Li Pu's regression and adoption of the military system, the integration and surrender of the family, and the permission for the children of the family to directly control the private soldiers into the battalion, Han Qian was not surprised.

The slaves and maids at the bottom were exploited miserably, the vast majority of them were illiterate, weak, dragged their families, bloated and clumsy, in the eyes of Xinchang Hou Lipu, who had experienced the formation process of the Taowu Military Mansion and the Dragon Bird Army, it may not be so unbearable, but the Taowu Military Mansion incorporated the hungry people into an army, and it took more than half a year before and after before and after it had a dazzling performance in the Jingxiang War.

Can they raise enough food to raise so many men and horses in Jinling for more than half a year, and can they have an undisturbed camp with an area of more than 100,000 acres to house slaves and maids, so that they can settle their hearts?

Many of the problems caused by the recruitment of slaves and maids by the Chishan Army and the rapid expansion of soldiers and horses cannot be concealed by the capture of Shangjiabao, and Li Pu naturally sees it in his eyes!

Not to mention that the position of Xinchang Hou Li Pu and others is naturally opposed to the low-level slaves.

Allowing the children of the attached family to lead private soldiers into the camp and acknowledging the absolute control of the family over the private army will make Li Pu have limited control over the newly formed soldiers and horses, and only stay on the control of the attached family, but as long as the families of the families are concentrated in Lishui City, they will actually become hostages under their control, at least for a short time without worrying about their loyalty.

This can also reduce the pressure on them to raise food and salaries to the greatest extent, reduce the difficulty of mobilizing and organizing troops and horses to the greatest extent, and also avoid dispersing the limited elites in their hands.

To tell the truth, if Han Qian hadn't been burdened with his father's last wish, he didn't want to see Jinling starving all over the wilderness, and if it weren't for the fact that there was still an extremely narrow road to walk, he wouldn't be willing to carry this huge and fragile snowball on his back.

Even if there are lessons to learn from the dream world, Han Qian knows very well in his heart that under the current social conditions, it is too difficult to successfully mobilize, mobilize, and organize the people at the bottom.

Li Pu can do that in Lishui City, Li Xiu, Li Mo, Yao Xishui and others should all agree.

In any case, the more Li Pu made a big noise in Lishui City, the more he could reduce the pressure on their western flank.

What did Han Qian do when he went to Li Yu at this time, didn't he even have this patience with Li Pu?

Han Qian not only did not go to Li Yu, but also thought about escorting the children and clansmen of the various families captured when he captured Shangjiabao to Lishui and handed them over to Li Pu for compilation, and said to Zhang Ping: "I also want to trouble Lord Zhang to go and send these people to Lishui ......."

"Huh?" Zhang Ping was very surprised, how arrogant Han Qian was in the past, how could detaining these people be a kind of containment to the families who had joined Li Pu, and asked uncertainly, "Do you really want to send these people to Lishui City?" ”

"I don't have a habit of killing prisoners, leaving these people to eat and drink will cost two or three hundred catties of grain every day," Han Qian said, "Unless Marquis Li's side is unwilling to take over, I can only continue to imprison them in Shangjiabao ......"

"Hou Ye Li may claim that these people are begging for them from you, Lord Han." Zhang Ping said.

He didn't think that Li Pu would refuse, after all, taking these people back to Lishui City would only be more conducive to his control and entrapment of the Tou Clan, but he secretly felt that with Li Pu's temperament, he might claim that these people were forcibly obtained by him from Han Qian.

"How could I let Hou Ye Li take advantage of me? I would say that Master Zhang forced it from me. Han Qian said with a smile.

"I don't dare to take the credit." Zhang Ping said modestly.

"Tide over the hardships and dangers together, if you want to be safe and sound, you have to ask Lord Zhang to put more effort into it." Han Qian said.

He didn't give Zhang Ping this favor in vain, the reason why he gave this credit to Zhang Ping's head was also to facilitate Zhang Ping's contact with Donglushan in Lishui, and also to make Li Pu feel better in a short period of time, expand his confidence a little more, and take a bigger and firmer step.

Zhang Ping pondered for a while, he always felt that Han Qian's reaction to Li Pu's actions in Lishui was too flat, and he thought that Han Qian couldn't really think that he could be at peace with the Marquis of Xinchang, so he nodded and responded to this matter.
