The county lord of Qingyang also realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly served Yang Yuanpu to dress.

Yang Yuanpu hurriedly took the salt water brought by the palace maid and rinsed his mouth twice, then walked out of the dormitory and rushed to the carrier hall with Zhang Ping.

At this time, Shen Yang, Zheng Hui, Gao Chengyuan, Guo Liang, Wang Lin and other generals and officials who stayed in Yueyang and were qualified to participate in the deliberations, as well as Xue Ruogu, who was driven out of Xuzhou by Han Qian and recommended by Shen Yang and Zheng Hui to enter the Xingyu Shitai as a supervising official, and Jiang Xu, who was providing more detailed information for everyone to consult, all gathered in the main hall.

Everyone had been discussing this matter for a while, and they were all waiting for Yang Yuanpu to come over.

Concubine Wang Chan'er didn't directly participate in the deliberations for a while, but today's matter was too important, so she sat behind the curtain early in the morning.

Before Yang Yuanpu came over, Shen Yang and Zheng Yu and the others had been arguing about this matter for a while.

Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Han Daoming, Concubine and Chai Jian had a secret discussion last night, and they had already discussed a plan that they could all accept:

The first is to transfer Li Zhihe, Zhou Yi, and other troops to Ezhou, and then strengthen the defense and operation of Ezhou, Huangzhou, and other eastern barriers.

The second is to transfer Xinchang Marquis Li Pu back to Yueyang. Even if he doesn't tear his face, it will be difficult to cooperate with Chuzhou anymore, and it will be difficult for the Marquis of Xinchang to play any role if he only stays in Runzhou with less than 3,000 remnants left.

After Li Pu, Marquis of Xinchang, returned to Yueyang, he could replace Zheng Yu as the privy envoy, and Zheng Yu could return to Huangzhou to ensure that the area east of Yueyang was stable.

Third, it is necessary to make Chai Jian succeed Li Zhihe as the assassin of Shaozhou, supervise the military of Shaozhou and Hengzhou, and take over the defense army and defense line of Wuzhiling, in case Luo Jia and Zhao Sheng, who retreated to Yongzhou, may sweep north at any time.

Shen Yang was unwilling to accept such a plan.

It's okay for Xinchang Hou Li Pu to return to Yueyang, but what about the 3,000 remnants of the soldiers who stayed in Runzhou and the more than 30,000 generals of the Dragon Bird Army?

Although the left and right Dragon Bird Army is currently mainly based on the soldiers who surrendered near Tanzhou and the soldiers in Junzhou, the six or seven thousand soldiers who remained in Jinling are the foundation of the Dragon Bird Army.

At present, there are more than 30,000 small dependents in Runzhou, involving nearly 5,000 elite generals in the Longque Army at this time, and they are all veterans who have experienced the battles of Jingxiang and Cutting Domains.

Transfer Xinchanghou back, so what do these old soldiers think?

Xue Ruogu was close to Shen Yang's concept, and after being driven to Yueyang, he got quite close to Shen Yang, and before Yang Yuanpu came over, he helped Shen Yang fight with Zheng Yu, Han Daoming and others.

Yang Yuanpu came over, Zheng Yu first played the plan they had agreed on, and Xue Ruogu stood up unceremoniously and asked:

"At this time, when the Marquis of Chang returns to Yueyang, do you want to give up Han Daoxun again, and give up these old soldiers and families who followed His Highness at the earliest and made great contributions?"

mentioned Han Daoxun's matter, Han Daoming, Zheng Chang and others were speechless and embarrassed by Xue Ruogu's questioning; Chai Jian, Li Chong and the others looked at each other angrily, and their hearts were itching with hatred, but there was no way to take the humble supervision of the imperial history Xue Ruogu.

Even if Zheng Chang is in charge of the Imperial History Observatory, he has no right to interfere with the imperial history of the Taiwan Ministry and supervise the impeachment of the imperial history.

The concubine sat behind the curtain and coughed a few times uncomfortably, but Xue Ruogu was fearless.

However, in the face of Xue Ruogu's question that the newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger, Zheng Yu said indifferently:

"With what Master Xue sees, what are we going to do? Let Li Houye continue to waste money in Runzhou, it is difficult to do anything, is Yueyang here not doing anything, just standing by? When Hou Ye Li came back, it didn't mean that he had to give up the soldiers and horses and his family that stayed in Runzhou. Take 10,000 steps back and say, the Chuzhou army is pointing directly at Baohua Mountain, these soldiers and horses and their families stay in Runzhou, and they will not fall into the hands of the brutal and unkind Anning Palace, and there should be no danger. Could it be that Lord Xue is worried that His Royal Highness King Xin will kill these people? Or because the enemy can be brutal, we don't do anything? Han Daoxun was brutally tortured, and it was not something that Baishi and Daoming could have expected, Lord Xue, if you entangle this matter again, it will be a punishment! ”

Zheng Yu was famous for his good discernment when he was young, and his skills did not fade as soon as he was old.

"Xue Ruogu, the matter of Han Fu Yin, don't mention it again." Yang Yuanpu said to Xue Ruogu in a deep voice.

Han Daoxun's death, Han Qian was extremely sad, but Yang Yuanpu could not feel the same way.

In Yang Yuanpu's opinion, when Han Daoxun went to see Wen Duqiao, he went with the intention of making peace with Anning Palace and the crown prince. He was eager to ascend to the pole, but he couldn't understand Han Daoxun's sincerity of sacrificing himself in order to avoid the disintegration of Great Chu, to avoid heavy casualties and displacement caused by the war, and he even agreed with his mother and father-in-law with Zheng Chang and Han Daoming at that time.

This is also a major psychological factor for him to face the complicated situation and the aggressiveness of Zheng Yu and others, but he finally chose to compromise and did not forcibly regain Han Qian's affection and invited Han Qian to Yueyang.

Therefore, Yang Yuanpu didn't want anyone in Yueyang to be entangled in Han Daoxun's punishment.

Xue Ruogu confessed his guilt and sat back in his seat.

Shen Yang didn't want to entangle with Zheng Yu and them in the details, he needed to pay attention to more important things, and said: "The two rebels of Luo Jia and Zhao Sheng, who withdrew to Yongzhou, have already survived the most difficult moment, and their strength is not weak, we should first concentrate our forces, take Yongzhou, solve the worries of the future, and then consider the issue of transferring the Left Dragon Bird Army to reinforce Ezhou." No matter what aspect it is, the current situation in Ezhou has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to fly to help. ”

"The hasty use of troops is too disadvantageous, the ancients all said, before thinking about victory, think about defeat first, Lord Shen may have considered attacking Yongzhou, what will be the consequences?" Zheng Yu asked.

At this time, they began to prepare for the offensive against Yongzhou, not three or five days to compete, no matter how smooth it was, it would take three or five months to defeat Yongzhou, not to mention that they also had to consider the risk of the war not going well.

Shen Yang looked at Han Daoming and the others, and when he saw their eyes flickering, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, after all, they didn't dare to fight a tough battle, let alone bear the consequences of losing the war, so they just wanted to hold the current territory and then divide it!

At the same time, Shen Yang thought that maintaining the status quo on the Western Front, the people of Li would suffer fewer casualties and not be displaced, maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing?

Shen Yang's mind was contradictory.

He could see through the Zheng family and the people of the Xinchang Marquis Mansion who could not wait to advocate the transfer of Li Zhihe to reinforce Ezhou, but at the same time, he also thought that the Zheng family and the people of the Xinchang Marquis Mansion were content with the status quo and were eager to divide the existing interests, at least they did not need to recruit a large army to attack Yongzhou, and they would inevitably be unable to force Jingzhou and Xiangzhou to submit by force in the future, and Ezhou and Huangzhou were strong and had a complete defense system, and they were more able to block the westward advance of the rebellious army, which allowed Hunan Xingshangshu Province and Jingxiang and other places to maintain a peaceful state without war for a short period of time in the future.

It's not a bad thing to be able to recuperate, right?

Thinking so, Shen Yang fell silent and no longer insisted on the position of using troops against Yongzhou.

"Everything is decided by His Highness, how does His Highness think to deal with these things?" Seeing that Shen Yang died down so quickly, Zheng Yu was a little surprised and urged Yang Yuanpu, the king of Tan, to make a decision.

Yang Yuanpu has mixed thoughts, and he is more inclined to capture Yongzhou first, exterminate the two rebels of Luo Jia and Zhao Sheng, solve the worries of the future, and then transfer the main force of the Zuo Longque Army to the north.

However, whether he was sure to capture Yongzhou or not, and how to deal with the unfavorable war, Yang Yuanpu did not know in his heart, which made it difficult for him to choose.

Yang Yuanpu wanted to send someone to Xuzhou to ask Han Qian's opinion, but as soon as he moved this thought, he subconsciously seemed to feel that the concubine's gaze was falling on his back through the curtain, making him like a thorn in his back, and the psychological shadow in the depths of his subconscious made him hesitate at this moment.

Seeing that Yang Yuanpu hesitated for a long time and was silent, Han Daoming was about to say something, but he saw the envoy of Cishou Palace and the concubine vaguely sitting behind the curtain whispering something, and after a while, he heard the concubine say loudly: "It's a big matter, Your Highness should think more about it before making a decision, and you should also think of a more thoughtful way for Your Highness's reference." ”

Seeing that the concubine did not advocate persecuting King Tan, they no longer urged Yang Yuanpu to make up his mind now, and there would be no big problem if this matter was put on hold for two or three days.

Yang Yuanpu breathed a sigh of relief, and after leaving everyone to have lunch in the Carrier Palace, he returned to Changxin Palace.

The county lord of Qingyang is not only more beautiful than Li Yao, but also has a much more active temperament, and when he met in Tanzhou in the past, he could talk or anything, which could match his temperament.

More importantly, although Li Yao was very soft, Yang Yuanpu always felt that there was a huge shadow behind her, which made him depressed.

"King Xin's heavy attack on the Nanya Forbidden Army, what is the reaction of the ministers?" Unlike Li Yao, who has a restrained temperament, the county lord of Qingyang does not have so much self-restraint, and when he saw Yang Yuanpu coming back, he directly asked about the results of the deliberations in the Carrier Palace.

Yang Yuanpu was also hesitant in his heart, and Qingyang inquired, so he told the opinions of many people one by one, and asked: "Do you say I want to send someone to Xuzhou to ask Han Qian's opinion?" ”

Yingying, the lord of Qingyang County, said with a smile: "In my homeland, I often heard my father say that the lord is suspicious of the ministers, and over time, the courtiers will be arrogant to deceive the lord, which is the source of the country's disaster." If the husband has no idea at all, he can ask a few more ministers for advice, but he can't ask only one person, as if the husband has no other capable ministers besides him, which will also show that the husband has no knowledge. And if the husband already has an idea in his heart, then he must take his own idea as the basis and firmly implement it. In that case, the husband has prestige, and the province of Xingshangshu is consistent and indestructible. ”

Qingyang thought that even if she wanted to cooperate with Xuzhou, she would also want Xuzhou to ask for her, and she would never want to become a puppet controlled by Xuzhou-besides, men are cautious, she was captured by Han Qian to Dachu, if she spoke for Xuzhou everywhere, who knows if Yang Yuanpu would think of going elsewhere?

Hearing Qingyang's discussion, Yang Yuanpu's expression perked up, and he said with a smile: "I didn't expect Qingyang that in addition to being good at poetry and rhythm, you also know political affairs." ”

"Of course. When my mother concubine was alive, she led the Shu Land Shenling Division to help my father achieve the foundation of Bashu, although I was very young, my mother did not die of illness, but my father often mentioned old things to me, and I thought that one day, I will also help my husband to achieve hegemony. Qingyang's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and he glowed with a strange look.

Qingyang told Yang Yuanpu about her father's early years of dominating Sichuan and Shu with the help of the Shenling Division of Shu, and did not shy away from the fact that she and the mother of Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong were the core figures of the Shenling Division in Shu in the early years.

And Qingyang said it thoroughly, but Yang Yuanpu trusted her more.

With Qingyang's previous words as a foreshadowing, Yang Yuanpu only revealed his true thoughts in his heart at this moment:

At present, there are still tens of thousands of remnants of the Nanya Forbidden Army who have withdrawn into the Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard, which still blocks the passage of the Chuzhou Army to Jinling City, there are still more than 70,000 rebels in Jinling City, and Xu Mingzhen can cross the river at any time with the elite of Shouzhou, I think the follow-up war of the Chuzhou Army may not be very smooth. And the remaining soldiers and horses of our Dragon Bird Army in Jinling, if they can make a good living, they may not be able to play a role......"

Even if Yang Yuanpu was under pressure from the concubine, the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion and the Zheng family, and at the same time, he didn't want to show too much dependence on Han Qian, and he didn't want to send people to Xuzhou to ask for advice at every turn, but one thing he was very clear about was that if he could not let his father-in-law Xinchang Marquis Li Pu come back too early, it would be better not to let him return to Yueyang too early, otherwise his hands and feet would be tied up by more people.

On the other hand, deep down in his heart, he also tended to transfer Li Zhihe to guard Ezhou.

Ezhou is only more than 300 miles away from Yueyang, and is connected by the Yangtze River waterway, if something really happens in Yueyang, he will transfer Li Zhihe to lead his troops back to Yueyang, which is much faster than transferring Li Zhihe back to Yueyang from Shaozhou.

It's just that when he was discussing the affairs in the Carrier Palace, he was a little undecided, perhaps because he relied too much on Han Qian and Shen Yang in the past, and was worried that his ideas would not only not be supported by the concubine and the Zheng family, but would even be opposed by Shen Yang, and he would not dare to say his ideas easily.

Hearing Qingyang's words, Yang Yuanpu's mind became clear......
