Yuezhou is the old county of Baling, when riding a horse through the ridge of the West Mountain, the sky is clear, the eye is far away, and you can see the mountains, lakes and rivers for dozens of miles in the west, Han Qian can't help but think of the famous article that was written more than a hundred years later to describe the magnificent landscape of Yueyang

“…… Fubaling victory, in Dongting a lake, the distant mountain, swallowing the Yangtze River, mighty, boundless, morning and sunset, the weather is thousands, this is the grand view of Yueyang Tower, the predecessors of the description is prepared. If the rain is falling, the moon does not open, the wind is angry, the turbidity waves are empty, the sun and stars are hidden, the mountains are hidden, the business travel is not good, the trees are devastated, the twilight is dark, the tiger roars and the ape cries ......"

April is the rainy season in Jianghuai, and this famous chapter also writes about the difficulty of storming Yueyang City in the rainy season.

Yueyang City is close to the lake and the river, and the lake is swinging, not to mention that the Chu army only gathers 50,000 soldiers, that is, the strength is doubled, and it is difficult to deploy in the front of Yueyang City, but the Tanzhou naval army can take small boats and ships to infest the lake, disturbing the left and right, which makes the Chu army tired to deal with.

Although the warships of the Lou Ship Army and the Naval Division were strong, they were only conducive to fighting in open waters, and it was difficult to win in the shallow waters at the head and tail of the lake.

The more orthodox tactics are to choose a direction, fill the river and silt the road, advance step by step to Yueyang City, and then attack it.

This is the tactics that Xinchang Hou Li Pu, Shen Yang, and Zhenyuan Hou Li Jian are familiar with, this is the so-called dignified array, the banner of righteousness, to face a strong enemy, but unfortunately Dachu does not have such calm and generous conditions.

Han Chengmeng, Han Jianji, and Qiao Weiyan finally hardened their heads, took the guards of the county king's mansion, and followed Han Qian to the Yuedong camp in Xishan, stopping at the top of the ridge at this time, watching Han Qian silently looking at the scenery of the lake and river.

Han Qian's old grudge with the second uncle's family and with Han Jun, they are clear in their hearts, and they have all seen the watery Jing Niang, there is nothing different from it, but it is just a vulgar powder, Han Jun went to provoke that woman, to put it bluntly, he wanted to humiliate Han Qian with Han Duan.

Imagine that Han Qian was only thirteen or fourteen years old back then, how could this hatred be easily eliminated?

Han Chengmeng and Han Jianji both feel the same way.

Because this is an era of concubines and eldest sons, Han Chengmeng and Han Jianji, as concubines, and their mothers as concubines, may not be as good as favored slaves and maids in the Han family, and they will even be deliberately suppressed, so that they have not been able to get official positions in the past, and they have managed some chores in the clan.

Even if they have been practicing martial arts since childhood, they have studied military science hard, and they don't even have the opportunity to lead the family soldiers.

And Han Jun was the official residence of the sixth rank at a young age, and Han Duan, as the eldest son of the second house, also presided over the family business early, and they were still favored by His Majesty and the third prince because of the third uncle, father and son.

They can understand the resentment in Han Qian's heart, so Han Qian is indifferent to them and rejects people, and they can bear it, who called them the people of the long house?

Going down the ridge road, there is a halfway up the mountain four or five miles away from the camp in the west mountain.

It is said that it is halfway up the mountain, but it is only seven or eight feet higher than the river a few miles away.

The third prince Yang Yuanpu and Shen Yang, Zhenyuan Marquis Yang Jian, Xinchang Marquis Li Pu and others were also waiting in front of the gate early to greet each other.

Looking at the group of people in front of the gate, Han Chengmeng and Han Jianji were taken aback.

It stands to reason that only the three princes and nine secretaries can deserve such a big gift.

Han Daoxun, Han Qian's father and son, in the eyes of the Han people, are rebellious people, especially during Han Qian's "absconding", Han Daochang, Han Jun, and Han Duan all wanted to knock him on the bone and eat the marrow to relieve the hatred in their hearts, and others did not dare to mention the names of the two of them at all, otherwise they would be reprimanded at the least, or they would be whipped at the worst.

Han Chengmeng and Han Jianji are not extraordinarily open-minded people, in such an atmosphere, their situation has become more embarrassing, and they will inevitably have resentment towards the third uncle and father and son.

The change was naturally the day when the policy of cutting the feudal domain was announced to the public, and then they all went to the county king's mansion, to Ezhou, and to the side of the third prince Yang Yuanpu.

Everyone in the county king's mansion has different feelings about Han Qian, but even Wang Lin, Li Chong, Zhou Yuan and others who are jealous have to admit that Han Qian's sword is biased and unpredictable.

At this time, Han Chengmeng and Han Jianji learned step by step about the "Epidemic Water Sparseness" compiled by the third uncle and the inside story of the formation of the Dragon Bird Army by co-opting the infected and hungry people, and learned about the "Notes on the Use of the Chapter" co-authored by the third uncle and Han Qian, and on this basis, Han Qian established Jinyunlou (Zuo Division......

Before learning further news about the Wuling Army, during the Jingxiang War, Han Qian's tactics were even more extreme.

From fighting for the dominance of Deng Xi's defense, to building Canglang City and winning over the cottage forces, to peeking through the conspiracy of the Liang army, persuading the three princes to go out of Xiangzhou City to kill Xia Zhen in Xichuan, and even luring and annihilating the elite of the Liang army to reject the enemy outside the city, even if they were dissatisfied with Shen Yang, Yang Jian and others who were too scheming with their swords and taking risks at every step, they had to admit that in reversing the Jingxiang battle situation, Han Qian played a role that others could not replace.

The foundation of the county king's mansion was also laid.

And "absconding" Xuzhou was a trick that Han Qian took the initiative to offer to His Majesty, and it was therefore the county prince's mansion that won the dominance of this battle to cut the domain.

After learning about these many inside information, Han Chengmeng and Han Jianji saw the three princes leading the generals out of the camp to welcome Han Qian, and they were shocked in their hearts, but they also felt that it was not so difficult to understand.

Han Qian can be said to be the most important man in the life of the three princes, except for His Majesty, right?

Li Pu, Marquis of Xinchang, and Yang Jian, Marquis of Zhenyuan, naturally did not want to deign to go out to meet Han Qian, and even Han Daoxun was not qualified to ask them to come out of Yuezhou to greet them, not to mention that it was not difficult for them to guess Han Qian's intention of coming to Yueyang.

It's just that the three princes all went out of the camp in person, but they had no way to hide and disappear.

The exploits of Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son in Xuzhou over the past year or so should not be ignored by them, otherwise their situation in Yuezhou would be even more embarrassing.

And Han Daoxun, Han Qian's father and son handed over the military power to Zheng Hui, and Han Qian came to Yuezhou alone to meet the three princes, which is enough to prove their loyalty to the imperial court.

It may not be too much to receive such courtesy.

Gao Chengyuan, Guo Liang and others will be warlike and happy, and whoever can help them get the most dazzling military exploits will be able to make him obedient.

Commanding the troops to fight, he always pins his head to his waist at any time, and he doesn't think about things as deeply and maturely as Shen Yang and Yang Jian.

They also did not have Shen Yang and Yang Jian's prejudices against Han Qian, and even looked forward to Han Qian's arrival, hoping to break the deadlock in front of them as soon as possible.

Not to mention Zhou Yan.

Li Zhihe is the one who can best understand the feelings of the three princes for Han Qian, compared to Shen Yang's county prince, perhaps it is Han Qian who really learns from the three princes.

Chai Jian, Li Chong and the others stood aside sourly in their hearts.

"Han Qian has seen His Highness! I have met Mr. Yang Hou, Li Hou, and Mr. Shen Yang. Han Qian stepped forward in fear and bowed to the three princes Yang Yuanpu, Yang Jian, Li Pu, Shen Yang and others.

Everyone surrounded the three princes and Han Qian into the gate and walked towards the big tent.

The banquet had already been prepared, and Yang Yuanpu directly pulled Han Qian to sit beside him, and then asked everyone to sit on both sides of the long case, and then first talked about their parting feelings.

In the eyes of outsiders, compared with Jinling, Han Qian at this time has a little less swaggering edge, and more of the bearing of Yuanyu Yuezhi, talking and laughing in front of veterans such as Yang Jian and Li Pu and Confucians like Shen Yang, there is no timidity at all, it is difficult to imagine that he is a twenty-two-year-old young man.

At this time, the third prince Yang Yuanpu had just turned seventeen years old, but it was difficult to find the frivolity and impetuousness of a teenager from him.

In Han Qian's opinion, it is not so much that he and Shen Yang have meritorious teaching, but rather that the more than ten years of fearful palace ban career, the third prince is much more precocious than his peers, although this is not a good thing, but at this time, at least people believe that if the third prince can ascend to the throne one day, he will not be slightly worse than the crown prince or the king of faith.

Naturally, Han Qian would not have just entered the Yuedong camp in Xishan, and he was in a hurry to express his opinion on the next battle arrangement.

He talked and laughed during the banquet, in addition to reminiscing about the past, mainly talking about the current situation of the two states, and did not shy away from the problems of the Wuling Army, he did not even take the initiative to ask about the camp here, but only from the words of others, and the situation described in the past when the three princes sent people to send letters.

Shen Yang, Yang Jian, and even Xinchang Hou Li Pu, they are in high positions, they do not come out of thin air, they advocate one thing, they must have a good reason.

Han Qian's rash proposal to use surprise soldiers to enter the Yuanjiang River at this time could only cause unnecessary controversy.

He first had to understand the specific thoughts and scruples of everyone in the tent who could speak on this matter at this time, so that others could convince others of the necessity of such a use of troops.

At this time, of the 50,000 soldiers assembled in the camp of Yuexishan Mountain, 20,000 were generals of the Longque Army, more than 15,000 were the sailors of the Louchuan Army, and the other 15,000 were soldiers from the state battalions and townships requisitioned from Ezhou, Huangzhou, Jiangzhou and other places.

The real elite combat power in this, in addition to the naval division of the Louchuan Army, is also the soldiers and horses of the Dragon Bird Army.

At the beginning, the Longque Army organized more than 12,000 soldiers, and after the Jingxiang War, the cottage forces were absorbed, plus the soldiers who moved in from Jiang'e and other places, totaling more than 20,000 soldiers and 30,000 Ding Zhuang, which was the result of the bloody battle in Xichuan.

This time, the Dragon Bird Army drew two from the military government and soldiers and organized them into 20,000 elites to fight.

Even if the military government implements a military system, it can be said that the use of troops in this way is the limit, and it has even seriously affected the cultivation of the military government this year.

In this battle, for Da Chu, a tragic victory is a victory, but for the county king's mansion, a tragic victory is a big setback, and I don't know how many branches will come out in the next battle.

Alcohol is forbidden in the army, and today made an exception for Han Qian, but everyone was afraid of making a mistake, so they only dared to drink slightly drunk and finally forbade the banquet.

The others retired, and Yang Yuanpu left Han Qian in the big tent to continue talking.

"The eldest brother advocates using the lead department to meet with Wuling, but everyone else says that it is too risky, and I am also worried about this matter, Master Han, what do you think in your heart, if you think the eldest brother's proposition is feasible, I don't care what others think." Yang Yuanpu said excitedly.

"For generals, there are ten generals, there are hundreds of generals, there are thousands of generals, and the laws of the emperor are different, and His Royal Highness is the commander of an army at this time, and he will be more particular about ruling the people in the future,"

Han Qian patiently said to the third prince,

"I came here this time, firstly, I have been saying goodbye to His Highness for so long, and I am eager to see His Highness, and secondly, I have not yet decided how to fight the next battle, I have always talked to His Highness, Mr. Shen Yang, Yang Houye, and Li Houye first, and know what everyone is thinking in their hearts, so that I can give His Highness further advice."

"Ah, I thought Master Han had a plan." Yang Yuanpu said.

Seeing that Yang Yuanpu inevitably had the eagerness of a young man, Han Qian felt better, and said with a smile: "Sometimes no matter how clever the plan is, it is more likely to make fatal mistakes because the people's hearts are not aligned and the will is not strong. Unlike the battle of Xichuan, even if you have to use a risky strategy this time, you still have to persuade everyone to work together, or you would rather give up. And it is not advisable for Your Highness to expose your inner thoughts too early, in that case, someone will bend to Your Highness's will, but you will not dare to express your opinions, and Your Highness may not be able to grasp more information and make a comprehensive measurement......"
