PS: Zongheng is holding an annual celebration again, everyone remember to vote......

Yueyang at the end of August is the time of high autumn and refreshing.

"Good, good!"

As soon as Jiang Shu picked up the steps and walked up the corridor in front of the carrier hall, he heard the irrepressible cheers of the main hall, smiled and stepped aside, and asked Shen Yang and Wang Lin, who had thoughts flying along the way, to enter the main hall and say:

"The letter of Lord Han and Marquis Li came back from Xuanzhou before noon, and the king of Yuzhang County sent his son Yang Fan to step into Yueyang City, at this time, His Royal Highness summoned the messengers Lord Yuan and Han Jun to the carrier hall, and asked the two of them to tell him and the prince of Yuzhang County the details of Lord Han and Hou Ye's plan to attack Langxi and recruit Gu Zhilong.

"The speed of Yuzhang County Wangfu is really not slow!" Shen Yang is such a serious person, and at this time, he couldn't help but tease Yang Zhitang, the king of Yuzhang County.

Jiang Shu smiled slightly, thinking that Han Qian and Li Pu had negotiated all the conditions with Gu Zhilong before sending Yuan Guowei and Han Jun back to Yueyang to report the good news, and Yang Fan, the eldest son of Yang Zhitang, the king of Yuzhang County, could arrive in Yueyang at the same time, indicating that Yang Zhitang had already made a choice when he learned the news that the Chishan Army had captured Langxi City.

Although it is not a charcoal in the snow, it is better than the icing on the cake, which is no wonder His Royal Highness will treat Yang Fan, the prince of Yuzhang County, so affectionately.

"Lord Shen, have you arrived first?" Zheng Yu and Zheng Chang came together, and when they saw Shen Yang, Jiang Shu and others, they greeted them with high interest.

Seeing Han Daoming and Zhang Chao walking into the square from a distance, Zheng Yu, Shen Yang, and Zheng Chang were not in a hurry to enter the main hall, but stood in front of the main hall and waited for Han Daoming and Zhang Chao to come over, and bowed to Han Daoming together, saying: "In front of the Han family, there is the tiger son Han Qian sitting in Jiangdong, so that Anning Palace and Chuzhou have nothing to do, and then there is the reputation of the old lady Han who does not fall into the great Chu Zhang Yi, and seeks Gu Zhilong and the Xuanzhou families to serve Yueyang - the Han family is full of famous ministers!" ”

The cadres and others were full of enthusiasm, as if the strong dissatisfaction with Han Qian and so many micro-remarks in the past had disappeared at this moment, as if they had never existed.

…………

In the afternoon, Yang Yuanpu instructed a little eunuch to send a gift from Yang Fanjin, the prince of Yufu County, to Changxin Palace.

This little eunuch was called by the county lord of Qingyang, and learned the tone of Yang Yuanpu in the carrier hall with the prince of Yuzhang County and other adults, and carefully described the enthusiastic atmosphere in the hall.

A grandmother in the main hall stood beside the county lord of Qingyang, and said with a smile: "The prince of the Yuzhang County Palace, he is known to His Royal Highness as an uncle, but I just saw his face from a distance, but he is several years older than His Royal Highness......"

"Yang Zhitang, the king of Yuzhang County, is the son of the eldest brother of the first emperor, and he is almost fifty years old, how can the prince of the county palace be young?" Qingyang looked at Du Qiniang and asked, "Ah Qi, have you heard of how old this Yang Fan is?" ”

"I haven't heard much about the Yuzhang County Palace, and the prince of the County Mansion is old, but I don't know." Du Qiniang had just been summoned into the main hall by Qingyang, so she figured out what was going on and said.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"The little marquis is indeed six or seven years older than His Royal Highness, and he should be twenty-five years old this year." The eunuch sent by Yang Yuanpu stood aside and replied.

Qingyang walked to the gift that Yang Yuanpu ordered the eunuch to send, picked out a moist and translucent mutton fat jade bracelet from the gold and vermilion lacquer plate, pulled Du Qiniang over, put the bracelet on her white wrist, and said, "Your wrist is really beautiful, this jade bracelet should be yours." ”

"Thank you, Princess." Du Qiniang glanced at the county lord of Qingyang with some uncertainty, and thanked him in a calm tone, without the joy that Qingyang expected.

Du Qiniang is honest and light, usually has leisure time, and prefers to be obsessed with studying medical skills and reading medical books, but she has experienced so many ups and downs in life, how can her mind not be transparent?

Du Qiniang is in the Tan Palace, although it is almost the full-time female palace of Changxin Palace, but after the official marriage of the county lord of Qingyang, there are two female officials of the Shu palace that she has trusted since childhood to marry Yueyang, especially after Han Qian went to Jinling to seize Li Pu's military power, the county lord of Qingyang was obviously alienated from her.

In Changxin Palace, the constraints became greater, and Lin Haizheng, Feng Yi and others all went to Jinling with Han Qian, and her information became relatively closed.

Du Qiniang now knew that a messenger came to Yueyang yesterday to inform that Boss Han Wenhuan had successfully persuaded Xuanzhou Assassin Gu Zhilong to serve Yueyang.

In addition, Yang Zhitang, the king of Yuzhang County, sent his son Yang Fan to Yueyang, and the Tanwang Mansion was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere, but Du Qiniang did not know the specific situation.

Du Qiniang saw the Qingyang County Lord rewarding the jade bracelet at this time, and wondered in her heart that there was something that made the Qingyang County Lord's attitude towards Xuzhou change subtly, but she didn't test anything, and she didn't know how to get close to the Qingyang County Lord.

"This Nizi's mind has always fallen on Xuzhou, accepting such a good bracelet, and her temperament is still so cold." A middle-aged grandmother stood behind Qingyang, looked at Du Qiniang's departing figure, and said with a frown.

"Her brothers, mothers and sisters are all in Xuzhou, and they are also very favored by Han Qian, if a bracelet can make her forgetful, such goods, isn't there enough in this Changxin Palace?" There was a hint of chill in Qingyang's beautiful eyes, but he didn't care much about Du Qiniang's cold reaction.

When she first arrived in Yueyang, she was isolated, and Du Qiniang was sent to serve by Yang Yuanpu's order, and at that time, whether the eldest brother needed the support of Xuzhou in Yuzhou, or she was forced to compromise with Han Qian, she was also quite close to Du Qiniang.

However, in addition to Yang Yuanpu's agreement after getting married, she left the two Shu Palace maidens who had been taken care of since childhood in Changxin Palace, and she had cronies around her who could use them, and at this time, there were some foul words that were unfavorable to her and Han Qian circulating in the dark corners inside and outside the Tanwang Mansion.

She could guess that it was most likely that Cishou Palace was making trouble, but this kind of rumor circulating in the dark corners of the private world, she couldn't stand up and argue anything, so she could only pay more attention to avoid suspicion.

Han Qian went to Jinling to seize Li Pu's military power, and Yang Yuanpu, the king of Tan, could not be recognized afterwards, outsiders may not be able to guess what Yang Yuanpu thought in his heart, but she watched by the pillow every day, how could she not be clear in her heart?

When Han Qian recruited slaves and maids into the army and promised to reward the field, he looked at it before

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The relatively neutral forces in Xuzhou, such as Zhang Chao, Zhang Han and others, have also undergone great changes, and even heard that even Zheng Hui had a slight remark about what Han Qian had done, so she did not hesitate to kick Du Qiniang aside.

At this time, the joint attack of Yuzhou and Sizhou Yang also made key progress, and the dependence on the warships built in Xuzhou also decreased significantly.

It's just that who would have thought that the situation would change so quickly?

Han Wenhuan used his body as bait to lure Gu Zhilong to lead the elite of the Ya Army back to Xuancheng, and then Han Qian led the Chishan Army to capture Langxi City, which was empty, and finally prompted Gu Zhilong to join Yueyang, and was even willing to hand over all the heirs of the family to Xinchang Hou Li Pu as hostages.

Although the whole process is a little different from the details that Yue Yang originally sent Han Wenhuan, Han Daochang and others to the east to solicit, Gu Zhilong came over in the end!

At that time, Yueyang's morale was low, and they were inclined to think that Jianghuai, Jiangdong and other places would soon fall into the hands of Chuzhou.

Who would have imagined that after Han Qian arrived in Jinling, in the past two or three months, a few seemingly unreasonable steps could fundamentally reverse the situation on the periphery of Jinling?

The merger of the Xuanzhou Army into the Qiuhu Army has also entered the implementation stage, and there are only a few things, such as the establishment of the embassy in the three counties of Langxi, Guangde, and Anji, and the adjustment of the Qiuhu Army and the civil and military generals of Xuanzhou, etc., and we have to wait for the final confirmation from Yueyang.

Yang Zhitang, the king of Yuzhang County, sent his son Yang Fan to Yueyang to seek officials, so that he could serve Yang Yuanpu on his behalf, and at the same time, Yang Zhitang asked to resign from the post of Hongzhou Assassin and Hong Yuanxing's battalion soldier and horse envoy on the grounds of frailty and illness, and recommended Li Yu's eldest son, Li Changfeng, the Marquis of Linjin, to replace him, which means that Yueyang's recruitment of Yang Zhitang has also made substantial progress, and it can be said that the situation of the entire Great Chu has completely tilted towards Yueyang.

The Chishan Army and the Qiuhu Army held Xuanzhou, and the two states of Yuan and Hong were connected with Yueyang, so the next two states of Rao and She to the west of Hongzhou and the ownership of Fuji, Jiangxi and Shao Prefectures to the south were just a matter of transmission.

Compared with the Anning Palace's control of the seven states of Shouchao, Shujiang, Chichu and Jingzhaofu at this time, the king of Xin, Yang Yuanyan, mastered the six states of Chuyangtai, Surunchang, and Yueyang, after the surrender of Yang Zhitang, the king of Yuzhang County, will soon be able to master the resources of the nineteen states.

If the people of Yueyang did not have enough confidence in the third prince Yang Yuanpu finally ascending to the throne of the Great Chu Emperor at this time, it would be too unoptimistic.

The most headache now is probably whether Yang Yuanpu will succeed to the throne in Yueyang now, or will he succeed to the throne after capturing Jinling City, right?

Although Yang Zhitang's annexation will directly change the balance of power between Yueyang and Anning Palace and Chuzhou, no one can deny that Han Qian's arduous and fruitful exploits in the periphery of Jinling played a crucial catalytic role.

Qingyang also knew very well in his heart whether Yang Yuanpu had any suspicions about Han Qian going to Jinling to seize military power without prior notice, but the admirable "Han Shi" on the surface was back.

And Han Qian's unauthorized recruitment of slaves and maids into the army has become even more insignificant, as long as the negative impact does not continue to expand.
