"What, how could Han Qian go to Jinling without saying hello?"

Han Daochang received the notice and hurried to the carrier hall, did not enter the main hall, and listened to Han Jun, who was guarding in front of the corridor of the main hall, talk about this, and was stunned for a long time before he asked such a sentence?

When he received the notice, he thought that he had come to the Carrier Hall to participate in the banquet to receive Li Zhihe, how did he think that this would be the case?

"His Royal Highness's intention seems to want Han Qian to replace Hou Ye Li and lead the remnants of the Taowu Army, and also to call Hou Ye Li back and hold him responsible for the loss of his troops...... Han Jun said in a low voice.

"How is that possible? It is taboo to change generals in battle, don't say that the concubine will never agree easily, even if the concubine and His Royal Highness agree, there is also a saying that 'the general is outside, and the king's order is not granted'. The remnants of the Taowu military household, up and down are all descendants brought out by Li Houye, will he easily give up the military power to Han Qian? Han Qian ran to Jinling at this time, did he think that Jinling was not chaotic enough? Han Daochang stomped his feet anxiously and asked anxiously, "What is the attitude of the concubine, has her old man come to the carrier hall?" ”

Han Jun thought that the concubine was not old at all, it was the age of all kinds of charms, and said: "The concubine is unwell, saying that it is angina, and she has not come to the carrier hall, I don't know if she is angry about it." Li Chong and Zhou Yuan got the news, ran to the main hall, and angrily reprimanded Han Qian's move purely to buy people's hearts and bad intentions, and asked His Royal Highness to pass on a letter to denounce Han Qian for not abiding by filial piety and misbehaving, and ordered him to take away his posts such as Xuzhou Assassin History, Counsellor and Military Counselor, but was reprimanded by Shen Yang, so he stopped talking. ”

Han Daochang secretly said that he could only think about buying people's hearts, but he couldn't say it, after all, Yue Yang would never openly say that he would give up so many old and weak women and children, no wonder he would be reprimanded by Shen Yang! But he thought about it again, maybe Zhou Yuan and Li Chong deliberately said this to stimulate Yang Yuanpu?

Han Daochang asked again. "And after that?"

"After that, Lord Zheng Chang suggested that the generals above the Marquis of Duyu in Yueyang's Xingbu Langzhong and Duyu should be summoned to the Carrier Hall to discuss ......this matter," Han Jun said.

Only then did Han Daochang know why he was summoned to the Carrier Palace.

He walked into the main hall with a gloomy face, and saw that there were already forty or fifty people crowded between the halls.

The main generals in Yueyang City have all been summoned.

Li Zhihe, Zheng Hui, Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Shen Yang, and the eldest brother Han Daoming and others accompanied Yang Yuanpu, the king of Tan, to sit on the inside of the hall.

Zhou Yuan and Li Chong sat there and didn't speak, but their faces were red and their ears were red, they must have been arguing for a long time, and they were just reprimanded by Shen Yang.

At this time, the hall was quite quiet, Han Daochang walked to the boss Han Daoming, and asked in a low voice, "What does Han Qian want to do?" ”

"It is said that Taowu has gathered troops to make great contributions to Yueyang, and Yueyang can't abandon it, but what is going on in his head, who can know?" Han Daoming was already angry, and at this time he said to the second child weakly.

Han Daochang was slightly stunned, thinking that Han Jun had just said that Zhou Yuan and Li Chong accused Han Qian of intentionally buying people's hearts in the main hall, and asked, "Han Qian really said that?" ”

"That's how Feng Yi came over to spread the word." Han Daoming said.

Han Daochang saw that there was a trace of disdain on the face of someone next to him, and thought that Zhou Yuan and Li Chong had accused Han Qian of buying people's hearts before, but someone still listened to it.

He diverted the topic and asked in a low voice: "Then what is everyone's opinion, you don't really want to call Hou Ye Li back for accountability, right?" ”

"For the time being, no one has said that they want to hold Hou Ye Li accountable after he is recalled, but since Han Qian has already arrived in Jinling, Zheng Hui and Li Zhihe, the generals in the army, are more concerned about what Han Qian can do in Jinling, and discuss whether Yue Yang wants to help." Han Daoming said.

Han Daochang looked at Zheng Hui and Li Zhihe diagonally opposite, but he didn't expect them to be more or less biased towards Han Qian, and asked, "What is Your Highness's attitude towards this?" ”

His Royal Highness didn't explicitly support the need to talk about other people, so Zhou Yuan and the others jumped out to oppose it first. Zheng Yu and Lord Zheng felt that Yueyang and Jinling were separated by Jiangchi and other states, and Yang Zhitang's attitude in Hongzhou was unclear, so it was difficult to respond. Han Daoming said.

Han Daochang frowned, and suddenly found that there were so many people in Yueyang, and their attitudes towards Han Qian's unauthorized trip to Jinling were all subtly different, and he couldn't tell the difference for a while, and he didn't know if Yang Yuanpu also thought that Han Qian's move was intended to buy people's hearts.

Seeing that many people looked at the two brothers at this time, and also knew that Han Qian was alienated from them again, most people still regarded Han Qian as a child of the Han family, especially when it came to the topic of buying people's hearts, things became more subtle and sensitive, everyone wanted to see what their attitude was at this time, right?

Only, what can they say?

At this time, it doesn't seem appropriate to kill relatives in righteousness!

Thinking of being caught in this whirlpool for no reason, Han Daochang also hated it in his heart, and couldn't help but whisper:

"At present, there are only 3,000 remnants in Jinling, and nearly 50,000 old and weak women and children who have no combat effectiveness, exposed to the fangs and claws of the Chuzhou Army and Anning Palace. Is the human heart so easy to buy? I think he was overinflated, and in the end he ended up with the third child! ”

"......" Han Daoming glanced at the second child, knowing that he would complain a little more in a slightly heavier tone, he should have deliberately said it to the people next to him, and only in this way could he take them out.

He went to Cishou Palace early this morning to participate in the deliberations, and after Li Zhihe entered the city, he came to the Carrier Hall together, and saw almost all the attitudes in all aspects.

Han Qian's arrival in Jinling has become a fact, Zhou Yuan, Li Chong and others actually wish to exchange Xinchang Marquis Li Pu back, but they make trouble, in addition to face, mainly because they don't want Xinchang Marquis Mansion to bear any responsibility for the previous loss of soldiers.

There is another meaning, they don't believe that Han Qian is simple-minded, in addition to stabbing Yang Yuanpu in the heart, they also want to tie Han Qian to the shelf that shelters the old and weak women and children, and make this point confirmed.

It is usually said that the old and weak, women and children, more or less can still draw some young strong men.

However, more than 8,000 households of soldiers and slaves were organized by the Taowu Military Mansion and Changchun Palace, and after the two wars of Jingxiang and Cutting Domain, there were nearly 3,000 young and strong men who had died on the battlefield, and more than 5,000 Jianrui were incorporated into the left and right Longque military camps, and there were nearly 800 scouts, craftsmen and Zuo Si's children in Xuzhou, after the Jinling Incident, Xinchang Marquis Li Pu made up 7,000 men and horses, in fact, the remnants of Taowu military households, young and middle-aged men between the ages of fifteen and fifty, including the craftsmen of the craftsman's workshop, only 3,000 young and strong soldiers remained, The other nearly 50,000 people are either over 50 years old, teenagers and children under 15 years old, or women.

To be honest, Han Daoming couldn't figure it out, what did Han Qian want to do and what he could do when he rushed to Jinling and fought for such a group of people from Xinchang Hou Lipu?

Just as the second child said, even if you want to buy people's hearts, you have to shelter the old and weak women and children back to Yueyang, and it will be done!

If Han Qian could only shelter a small number of old and weak women and children back to Yueyang in the end, it would be strange if Zhou Yuan, Li Chong and the others didn't bite this point of attack!

Feng Yi did not have an official status, but he went to Yueyang on behalf of Han Qian to present his feelings and was able to sit beside Shen Yang.

No one cared about his attitude and opinions, so he could calmly see the reactions of many people in the hall.

Zheng Hui, Li Zhihe, Gao Chengyuan, Chen Jingzhou and others were still somewhat worried about Han Qian's situation, after all, they had fought side by side, and they also knew the significance of Han Qian's visit to Jinling to stabilize the army's morale; And Zhou Yuan, Li Chong, Wen Ruilin, Zhou Shu and others bluffed and made a fuss, and they were vicious.

And Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang and the others had cloudy faces, probably because they couldn't guess Han Qian's thoughts, right? Han Daoming and Han Daochang seemed to be thinking about how to show that this had nothing to do with them.

Yang Yuanpu and Shen Yang's faces were a little gloomy, Zhou Yuan and Li Chong's words still buried a shadow in their hearts, right?

Feng Yi felt that he was a little ridiculous, thinking about his absurd and debauched in the first half of his life, he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, he just wanted to be able to enjoy his life in drunken dreams and death, but he didn't expect that he would have the hot-blooded urge to leave here quickly, hurry to Jinling, and meet the enemy side by side with Han Qian.

If my father were alive, he probably wouldn't have dreamed that he had changed like this, right?

"Everyone is talking about it, do you want to send someone to ask what the concubine means?" Seeing that the generals below were talking about it, Zheng Yu looked at Yang Yuanpu and asked.

Yang Yuanpu looked at Zhang Ping, the prince of the palace who was standing on the side, and said, "You go to Cishou Palace and give the ministers what they have discussed." ”

Zhang Ping's left sleeve hung there empty, bowed, and rushed directly to Cishou Palace.

After waiting for half a burnt incense time, the concubine Wang Chan'er still did not show up, but sent Cishou Palace to envoy Lu Qingxia and Yao Xishui Yin Zhang Ping over, walked to Yang Yuanpu and said: "The concubine said that the old and weak women and children in Taowu are all meritorious and healthy families of the Dragon Bird Army, and Yue Yang cannot abandon it lightly, Lord Han is willing to take on the heavy responsibility, and the concubine she cannot stop it, and this matter is decided by His Royal Highness and the ministers. ”

After Li Zhihe knew his life experience, he saw his wife and cherish the water again, and his mood was different from the past, but he pondered the will of the concubine from generation to generation, and knew that they believed that Han Qian went to Jinling with the intention of buying people's hearts, and he sighed slightly in his heart.

Yang Yuanpu looked at Zhang Ping, no matter what, just because Zhang Ping had saved his life, he still had to trust Zhang Ping more.

Zhang Ping bowed slightly, signaling that this is what the concubine meant.

Yang Yuanpu groaned for a while, and said to Zheng Yu and Shen Yang: "Then this matter is so determined, and Yu Han Qian is appointed under the Privy Council, so that he can organize the remnants of Taowu to collect troops as the Jingnan Army, on behalf of Yueyang, and specialize in the rebellion against Anning Palace, and Lin Haizheng and Feng Xuan rushed to Jinling to meet Han Qian with the banner seal and other things; In addition, Xinchang Hou Li Pu was recalled to Yueyang and appointed separately? ”

Zheng Yu nodded, agreeing with Yang Yuanpu's decision, while Shen Yang frowned and said: "Officially set up a military force outside, and as usual, we will also entrust the military supervisor to supervise military affairs......"

Hearing Shen Yang say this, the people under the hall who felt that they might be named looked down at their feet, thinking that Shen Yang, this little old man, was really troublesome, Han Qian was crazy, and he wanted to break into the tiger's den in Longtan, why bother to pick another person from them and throw him over?

Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Han Daoming and others knew that the errand of the military envoy would not fall on them, but they couldn't help but look away.

Han Qian didn't give him a choice, and even hinted in the letter that Jinling would take away the military power as soon as possible, Yang Yuanpu couldn't have a little resentment in his heart, but at the scene in front of him, he felt sad in his heart, his eyes looked at the hall repeatedly for a while, and he couldn't decide on the candidate, thinking that he would still let Zheng Yu and Shen Yang recommend them, but at this time, he heard Zhang Ping cough behind him, and turned around to see Zhang Ping who seemed to have made up his mind to go around to the long case and said:

"The old minister is willing to go to ......"

Yang Yuanpu was slightly stunned, and then raised his hand and saluted: "Then it will be hard for Lord Zhang to go this way." ”

Shen Yang was also very relieved to see Zhang Ping's willingness to go, Zhang Ping, as the prince of the palace, as a close minister who could represent Yang Yuanpu, he went to Jinling to supervise military affairs, and more or less proved to the generals that the Tan Wangfu did not intend to give up so many old and weak women and children, otherwise it would be really embarrassing......

…………

…………

When the heaven and earth reveal the white of the fish's belly, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is still dark and gloomy, as if covered with a layer of extremely faint blue light, and the scenery in the distance is still black and unreal.

A group of men and horses appeared on the galloping road outside the east gate of Danyang City in Runzhou, and soon attracted the attention of the guards above the east city of Danyang.

There were about seventy or eighty men and horses, and they were coming down the city in a crowd of thirty or forty carts of mules and horses, but the condition was a little bleak.

Most of the generals were not in good armor, as if they had just experienced a bitter battle, many of them were still wounded, their faces were covered with dirt, and their robes were stained with blood, and it seemed that they were attacked on the way back to the city or in the temporary camp, and finally knocked down the attacking enemy, and fled back to Danyang in a hurry.

Not only were the horses under the crotches of the few cavalrymen scarred, but many of the mules and horses pulling the carts were lame and neighing in the morning light.

The more than 30 carriages were quite heavy, the ruts were deeply pressed into the mud and it was difficult to walk, the bodies were full of burn marks, there were many arrow feathers and broken blades still stuck in the walls and roofs of the carriages, and they had not had time to pull them off, and grain was constantly spilled out of the broken carriages.

At that time, the grain in the world was directly loaded and shipped, only the Lanting Lane Warehouse presided over by Han Qian, in order to improve the efficiency of handling, would first use twine to weave bags to load grain, and then load bags of grain into trucks and ships and transport them to various places for sale, but it has not been popularized for the time being.

Once the vehicles and ships directly loaded with grain are damaged, there will inevitably be leaks along the way.

The soldiers defending the city took advantage of the dim morning light at dawn to look at it, and knew that this was one of the soldiers and horses sent out to collect food in the past few days, and they did not know where they were attacked, and returned to the city in such a miserable manner.

"Open the door, open the door! Cao Ni Niang, you turtle grandsons are hiding in the city and sleeping, like his mother is dead, Lao Tzu levied grain, but was attacked by the county soldiers in Jintan when he camped in Zhao's house. Hurry up and report to General Qin, and order all the troops to kill those dog thieves in Jintan, and avenge the blood hatred of your brothers! ”

The conscripts dragged to the city gate, and they couldn't wait to shout loudly at the city, as if they were fed up outside, and then they wanted to sprinkle on the soldiers who were comfortably guarding the city, and their tones were full of exposure, anger, and impatience.

Others walked directly to the city gate and banged on the city gate with their blades.

At this time, there were three or four heavily damaged carriages, which could not be supported when they stopped under the city wall, so they listened to the sound of "squeak" a few times, the ruts broke and the three or four carriages tilted to one side at the same time, and saw Huang Cancan's five or six thousand catties of rice pouring down in the morning light and splashing on the ground.

Several horses and mules were frightened and scattered in all directions, and the grain conscripts were scrambling to catch the frightened horses, and suddenly there was a mess in front of the city gates.

Seeing this scene, the little school on duty was afraid that further delay would cause deeper resentment, so he hurriedly sent people down to open the city gate, but he didn't notice that under the city gate hole that they couldn't see, more than a dozen carriages had turned around, and Kong Xirong, who was wearing heavy armor, quietly got out of the car with more than 100 armor guards, and was standing close to the city gate.

Waiting for the guards inside to remove the thick door latch, the city gate exposed a gap, more than 100 generals suddenly exerted their strength, pushed the city gate open, swords, guns, spears and halberds shot forward and slashed, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen guards behind the city gate were killed crying dad and mother, and blood was splashed on the spot.

"There are enemy soldiers attacking the city and taking the gates, and there are enemy soldiers attacking the city and taking the gates! Quick report: General Qin led troops to reinforce Dongcheng! ”

At this time, the little colonel on duty woke up, and while shouting loudly, he organized the few soldiers around him to kill from the road to the city, thinking that he would take the city gate back and close it again as soon as possible.

Zhao Wuji, Shi Ji, Wei Chang and others were half-squatting in a canal outside Lixu, and behind them were more than 4,000 generals who lurked at night.

Seeing that Kong Xirong and his people had already deceived the city gate and entered the city, without waiting for Han Qian's order, Zhao Wuji, Shi Ji, Wei Chang and others followed the established plan, and led the men and horses to climb the river embankment one after another, killing the east gate of Danyang like a flood.

They had to take Danyang City before the defenders of the city could react, kill and defeat the defenders as much as possible, and expel them from the city.

Yuan Guowei was guarding Han Qian's side, and he was also staring intently at the movements of Danyang East City.

He never thought that Han Qian would take over the military power from the hands of Xinchang Marquis Li Pu, and reorganize the 3,000 remnants of the army a little, and the first step was to recapture Danyang City, which was garrisoned by 2,000 elites of the Chuzhou army.

Of course, he didn't expect it, and the Danyang defenders didn't expect it, that the scout spies of the Chuzhou army were just staring at the movement in the direction of Jinling.

However, it is easy to deceive the city gate, and it is not difficult to control the east city gate while it is unprepared, but it is not difficult to resist the counterattack of the enemy army, and finally occupy Danyang City before the enemy aid comes.

Not to mention that they still have nearly 50,000 old and weak women and children exposed to Yanling Port, which is thirty miles away, which is a weakness that the Chuzhou army can easily attack.

After only a while, Yuan Guowei couldn't sit still, and said to Han Qian: "I'll go to the front and take a look." ”

Han Qian sorted out his clothes and armor, led the war horse over, turned over the horse, and put a six-foot-long straight ridge slashing horse sword in front of him, and was about to drive the horse to the city.

Yuan Guowei was shocked and said: "There is still a scuffle ahead, and it is too dangerous for adults to go." ”

The Chuzhou army is the best at surprise attacks, the front is still in the melee, and the main general is the easiest to be beheaded by a surprise attack when he enters the battlefield, Yuan Guowei grabbed the reins of Han Qian's crotch and persuaded him to stay here and sit in the town, and he went to the front to watch the development of the battle situation.

"I don't go into battle, I don't know how many more people will have to die to take Danyang. How can we afford to wear out these manpower? Han Qian snatched the reins from Yuan Guowei's hand and shouted loudly without question.

Three thousand remnants of the army are the real remnants of the remnants, there are women and old men, and there are also sick men who have been sick for many years, before Li Pu took them to throw away their armor and abandon their armor, many of them are not complete, Han Qian pretended to be a business traveler, and he would not carry too much armor and weapons, and the current strongest combat effectiveness and a team of men and horses were the two hundred people around him.

If he didn't personally lead the elite of the personal guard battalion into battle, if Kong Xirong and Zhao Wuji didn't withstand the counterattack of the Chuzhou army after they entered the city, and even failed to defeat the Chuzhou army in the city in the first time, so that the other party could react, they might all be disappointed.

When he came to Jinling, he wanted to fight for a glimmer of life in nine deaths, where could he be afraid of encountering accidents on the battlefield?

Yuan Guowei couldn't persuade Han Qian, so he could only bring a war horse and kill him next to Han Qian.

Han Qian rushed to the city, Kong Xirong and they had already controlled the east city gate, and on the long street inside the city gate, dozens of corpses were lying horizontally.

For the vast majority of the generals, wearing battle armor and holding blades and crossbows, running from the river canal to the city for a long distance, even if there was no fierce fighting, they were a little out of breath, but Han Qian did not allow them to occupy the east city gate to rectify the formation, let alone stop to rest, grab the reins, and shout loudly: "Don't stop, go to the city to kill!" Your wives and children, young and old, were driven out of the city by them two months ago, and how many of your brothers died two months ago at the hands of their schemes! ”

Han Qian urged the whole army not to stop in the slightest, and ordered them to enter the city, and immediately kill them along the spider-like streets and alleys to the depths of Danyang City, not even planning to leave men and horses to guard the east city gate.

Their formation is chaotic, but the defenders have not reacted at this time, and they can't figure out their details, which will only be more chaotic.

If they want to succeed in capturing Danyang City, they must not give the defenders a little time to react, and even try to make the situation in Danyang City more chaotic and chaotic......
