"Lord Daochang, tell me how this ice dam was made, this is really a miraculous workmanship and a clever use of heavenly power?"

At this time, the West Garden of Hanfu was full of guests, and they couldn't wait to surround Han Daochang to ask for the details of Wujinling's victory.

Han Daochang was ordered to go to Huaiyang Mountain with Yuan Guowei to work in the army, the road was bumpy, and his chin was thin and pointed, he returned to Jinling City, and the Han Mansion naturally held a feast to wash his dust.

In the past, although Han Daoming was a governor and a secretary of the household, even if there was something in the Dongyuan house where Han Daoming lived, there were not many guests and friends to congratulate him, but today Han Daochang returned, and there were dozens of people in the Xiyuan house who were usually rare to come to the door to comfort the hard work.

The news of Wujinling's victory had only reached Jinling ten days ago, but the news of the victory quickly spread in the streets and alleys of Jinling City, and the Han government was also filled with an atmosphere full of joy.

It's just that the letter that came back from Tangyi is vague, and it just said in a few hundred words about the hard work of guarding Wujin Ridge, and said that the Shouzhou army suffered heavy casualties, but how to defeat the Shouzhou army, only the Liao Liao number of "the night water protruded, swept the river and ice collapsed and rushed to the enemy camp", how can it satisfy everyone's curiosity to spy on secrets?

Not to mention the guests in the hall, the corridor was also crowded with many servants, and they also put their ears on the door to listen to what the second master had seen and heard along the way.

"I rushed to Wujinling with Lord Yuan, the situation of the Tangyi army is indeed a little worrying, Lord Yuan is also true to Han Qian, and he opened his mouth to persuade him to lead his troops to break through from the Longtan River to the west bank of Chaohu Lake, but Han Qian said that the enemy was broken at this time. We still wondered in our hearts, but we were too tired and tired to climb over the mountains to reach Wujin Ridge, and we couldn't see any change after sleeping all night, but by the next night the spring water in the river was rising until it broke through the river ice. And Han Qian had already laid down a few rows of fence logs in the river in front of the enemy's formation, ready to intercept the river ice. That night, Han Qian also dragged me and Master Yuan to drink, and as soon as the two pots of wine were drunk, the outside reported that the ice dam had been completed. The night is dark and unreal, I also didn't sleep all night, I got up at dawn, guess what, the valley of Wujin Ridge is full of water, and I don't know where to borrow it, as soon as the hour comes, the ice dam collapses, and the water rushes to the enemy camp, and then the result, you all know...... "Someone is willing to listen, Han Daochang is naturally willing to speak, but in the face of a group of these guests who see the wind and rudder, the rhetoric is a bit exaggerated."

"You have this ability to speak, why don't you tell a story?" Han Wenhuan stroked his snow-white beard, and in front of the guests, he smiled and counted the words of his second son, Han Daochang, which were too exaggerated.

"It is said that Han Hou Ye knows astronomy and geography, which can be called the Kong Ming of today, and I used to think it was exaggerated, but the victory of Wujin Ling does not just mean that Han Hou Ye has already pinched his fingers and calculated the day when the ice of the Nanqishui River will break, right?" Some people praised it without knowing whether it was true or not, but they just looked at his expression very seriously.

Sent a group of guests away, and ordered the irrelevant servants to withdraw from the courtyard, at this time it was already late at night, and the hall was left with the core children of the juniors such as Old Man Han, Han Daoming, Han Daochang Brothers, Han Duan, etc., as well as Qiao, Chen and other members of the family who had an in-law relationship with the Han family and could be regarded as descendants.

They either have sons and nephews to marry the daughters of the Han family, or they have daughters to marry the children of the Han family.

Qiao, Chen and other families don't seem to be powerful, but they can marry with the Han family, which one in Xuanshe and other places is not a big tree with deep roots, 10,000 acres of fertile land, and a group of slaves and maids?

The Han family and the Feng family were able to become the heads of the families in the two states of Xuanxi, and a considerable part of them relied on the support of these in-laws and clans.

Even these families have a very deep in-law relationship with the Feng family, and they are just cutting with the Feng family in the imperial tomb case, and they are embarrassed to lick the soles of the Feng family's brothers at this time.

Of course, the situation has been turbulent and unpredictable in the past few years, even the Han family has gone through several twists and turns, and many of these families are involved in the Han family and the Feng family.

Of course, among them, because Qiao Weiyan and Chen Zhiyong were reused, only Qiao and Chen's two families had a close relationship with Tangyi, and they each took out 100,000 yuan and grain to bet on last year; And the other families are still watching cautiously, and they are very cautious, even if Han Qian's wedding this time, it is just a meaningful gift.

When the news of the victory in Wujinling came, the family members of these families who were not in Jinling also rushed over, and they all wanted to live directly in the Han Mansion and come to the old man to say hello sooner or later.

The situation is so clear, if they don't bet anymore, the daylily is cold, not to mention, if the Han family is resentful in turn, how can they bear it?

In this world, it is not uncommon to pay less attention to the three chastity and nine martyrs, from the beginning to the end, and to divorce the wife and marry again, and the husband to marry again.

At this time, Han Daochang originally planned Han Qian's strategy and implementation since he gathered troops and horses to attack Anfeng Village, so that everyone knew that all this was not a fluke, and also let everyone know that if they hesitated at this time, they would not complain that the Han family would turn their faces and deny people one day in the future.

Han Daoming couldn't help but sigh lightly: "I knew that Han Qian had such a clever plan, and I shouldn't have agreed to the conditions of Cishou Palace in the first place. ”

"Li Zhihe went to control Xiangbei, but Han Qian felt that it was okay, and this time he could justifiably ask the Zuo Longque Army to withdraw from Shuzhou, and then it was logical for the Tangyi army to be expanded to the left and right armies......," Han Daochang said.

Hearing this, Han Duan, who was sitting at the bottom of the house, couldn't help but take a long breath.

Although the Zuo Longque Army was requested to withdraw from Shuzhou to strengthen the defense of Xiangbei, Shuzhou would not be incorporated into the jurisdiction of the Tangyi camp, and the subsequent appointment of officials such as the assassin Shi would be led by the Central Council, but this would also represent that the Tangyi camp would become the only military force of Great Chu in Huaixi in the near future.

And when the Shouzhou army withdraws from Chaozhou City and Tangyi completes the expansion of the army, Tangyi may be slightly weaker than Xiangbei and Huaidong in terms of the scale of soldiers and horses, but at least within the framework of Dachu, it can already keep pace with Xiangbei and Huaidong.

And the ill-intentioned said that at that time, in addition to the guards and pro-army, Tangyi will become the closest elite soldiers and horses to Jinling City, and its influence on the court will be very different from the past.

And think about how long it has been since Han Qian returned to the center?

Thinking of this, Han Duan regretted a little, regretting that he was worried about the situation and did not choose to stay in Tangyi to serve, but rushed back to Jinling.

It's not that he doesn't want to go back to serve in the DPRK, but if he can stay in Tangyi for two or three years, and then return to the DPRK to take up a post, his qualifications will be completely different.

However, more than a year ago, who would have thought that the situation in Tangyi would develop so quickly and completely change in such a way?

"In addition to expanding the left and right armies, what other actions have you made in the near future?" Han Daoming asked.

"This success is directly related to the invasion of the Jin State by the main force of the Liang army with Zhu Yu's northward advance. And after that, even if the main force of the Liang army does not divide its troops to the south, Xu Mingzhen will be more cautious in the north. Tangyi wanted to expand the left and right armies this time, mainly considering that the elite of the Liang army would move south at any time, and there was no spare strength to capture Anfeng Village in the north in a short time. In the follow-up, I also asked Han Qian that taking over the two cities of Chu and Chaozhou and cultivating Huaiyang Mountain is the focus, and there will be no major moves for the time being. Han Daochang said.

"It's good to lay a solid foundation for the time being, but it's not easy to worry about it." Han Daoming said with emotion.

Thinking of the days when Han Qian led the raid soldiers and horses to the north, Han Daochang thought that it was really not very good, and asked: "The two palaces, the Shouwang Mansion and Huaidong, have there been any recent movements?" ”

"What do they want to do, but what can they do? They can't complain that Han Qian won too quickly and too suddenly in Huaiyang Mountain, right? Han Daoming said with a smile.

Han Daochang nodded, this is also the place where the victory of Wujinling is of the greatest significance to Tangyi and the Han family.

Except for Huaidong's division of troops to occupy Shiliang County, it was basically ensured that no one would come to steal the fruits of their victory.

Although he couldn't decide anything, Han Daochang didn't agree with Han Qian's surprise attack at first, because he knew that if Han Qian's use of troops was not smooth, it would be fine, and once the use of troops was too smooth, all kinds of things would emerge one after another.

And in history, there have been endless failures due to internal friction.

It's just that he didn't expect Han Qian to use troops in Huaiyang Mountain, one moment he was still in danger, and the next moment he won a big victory, and the change of victory and defeat was so sudden, naturally it also made everyone want to do something and delay their feet.

The news of the victory in Wujinling was strictly sealed in the early stage, and Deng Tai, who was temporarily in charge of Li Zhihe's command of the Zuolongque Army, had not yet reacted when the Tangyi soldiers controlled the defense of the Longtan River along the river.

Otherwise, the jurisdiction of the area on the west bank of Chaohu Lake will give too many people an excuse and opportunity to argue.

And because the Tangyi Navy first took over the defense of the Longtan River and completely separated the Lujiang defense line garrisoned by the Zuo Longque Army from the Shouzhou Army, they were able to openly and justly demand that the Zuo Longque Army withdraw from Shuzhou.

Huaixi confronted the Shouzhou army, and the Zuo Longque Army was no longer needed.

In the future, Tangyi will expand the left and right armies, the size of the men and horses will more than double, and the military funding gap will also double.

The biggest advantage of this victory is probably that a large number of ready-made farms and houses can be requisitioned from the hands of the wealthy people in the Huaiyang Mountains for the distribution of the generals' ration fields and family residences, and there is no need to invest additional money and grain for reclamation, and the gap in a short period of time is not as big as when Tangyi was first obtained.

"How many households are there in Huaiyang Mountain?" This is also the question that Han Daoming is most concerned about, and asked with concern.

Not to mention before, after the founding of Great Chu, Shouzhou has long been the core area of the military confrontation between Liang and Chu, with constant wars, great local changes, and people leaving their hometowns at every turn.

In the early years, when the infected and hungry people were recruited into the Longque Army in Gyeonggi, there were a large number of displaced people who fled from Huaixi.

Among the generals in Xuzhou, a large number of people such as Gao Shao, Ji Xiyao, Guo Ke, He Liufeng, Wei Xu, and Xiao Dahu are all from Huaixi, not to mention the 100,000 displaced people who were incorporated into the Tangyi soldiers by Han Qian in the later period.

Too many practical conditions have restricted the local government and household departments from accurately counting and grasping the Tibetan fugitives in the Huaiyang Mountains.

Han Daoming served as the assassin of Chizhou in his early years, and his knowledge and ability may not be able to match Yang En, Shen Yang, Wang Wenqian and others in the world, and he was also first-class in the world.

Han Daoming has always been aware of the importance of Dingkou.

What's more, after Tangyi's secret talk, earth-shaking changes took place within the Han family, Han Daoming's thinking changed, and he quickly accepted and digested the model promoted by Han Qian in Xuzhou.
