Not to mention Feng Yi, Feng Yi, Guo Rong, and Gao Shao, even several Wen clansmen behind Wen Duqiao were stunned.

Who would have thought that this edict would be in the hands of Wen Duqiao?

Who would have thought that after so many chaotic things, Wen Duqiao would treat this edict as a treasure and keep it close to the present?

Feng Yi, who had been standing patiently behind Han Qian, couldn't help but take a step forward at this time, took the edict over and read it carefully, then handed it to Han Qian, and said in a low voice: "It is indeed the edict that Han Gong received in Lanting back then......

With this original, you only need to find any handwritten letter from Emperor Tianyou to compare the handwriting and seal to distinguish the authenticity - of course, since Wen Duqiao has kept this edict close to him all these years, Feng Yi can't imagine that this edict may be forged.

Of course, thinking that Wen Duqiao could hide this edict by his side in advance, Feng Yi gasped, and couldn't help but laugh at it: "Since Gong Wen expected that one day there would be a time of disaster, why did he act as a tiger in the first place?" ”

"......" smiled at Feng Qian's hunger, Wen Duqiao did not take a moment's breath, and starved against him, if the Feng family had not fallen to the imperial mausoleum case, the choice would have been even more unbearable when the incident occurred, but bowed down to Han Qian and apologized, "The Wen family is indeed a heinous crime, and the crime cannot be forgiven......

Guo Rong, Gao Shao and others were also shocked and speechless at this time, not only shocked that Wen Duqiao actually collected this edict personally, but they knew better in their hearts that there was no such edict or not, and the difference was huge.

Some things will become easier, such as letting Wen Duqiao and the Wen family go, and not pursuing the evil they did in the Jinling Incident, and the people of Tangyi can accept it more in their hearts.

After all, the real culprits who harmed Han Daoxun were Emperor Tianyou and Empress Xu, and Wen Duqiao and the Wen family could only be regarded as aiding and abusive, or at that time, everyone was their own master.

Even if you want to settle the old feud, you can't purge all the people who followed the Anning Palace to launch a rebellion?

And with this original edict, Wen Duqiao and the Wen family cleared the suspicion of directly harming Han Daoxun, so that they could not worry about being liquidated and bloodbathed after arriving in Tangyi.

Then the next negotiation with Wen Bo and the defenders of Luoshan will be easy, and there will be no insurmountable trust barrier that they feared before.

And now it seems that the reason why Han Donghu was able to successfully kidnap Wen Duqiao and the Wen clan to "Tangyi" was not entirely the "threat of purging and exterminating the clan" and Han Qian's handwriting.

Guo Rong and Gao Shao glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but secretly feel that Wen Duqiao was really a treacherous person, and no one who followed the rebellion and usurpation of Anning Palace back then thought that Wen Duqiao would leave such a way out for the Wen family, right?

Of course, some things can be more complicated.

First of all, this edict cannot be made public, otherwise it can only further sever the relationship between Tangyi and Jinling.

However, if it is said that when Han Qian was sending an envoy to Shu to welcome his relatives, Emperor Tianyou had a secret edict to Emperor Yanyou to guard against Han Qian very early, which will undoubtedly explain why before recovering Jinling City, Emperor Yanyou was so eager to take back the military power in Han Qian's hands, and even intended to use his marriage with Wang Jun to prevent Han Qian from returning to Xuzhou.

Or, Emperor Yanyou should have believed that there was such an edict a long time ago, and it was not forged by Empress Xu and Wen Duqiao of Anning Palace, right?

The logic behind this is interlinked.

It is no wonder that after Emperor Yeonyou succeeded to the throne, he would be so impatient, almost unscrupulously conniving at the forces of the Gyeonggi family to attack the military and civilians of Gwangdeok Province!

To put it bluntly, Emperor Yanyou was worried that the truth of Emperor Tianyou's harm to Han Daoxun would be exposed, and there would be no possibility of reconciliation between Jinling and Xuzhou.

Seeing that Han Qian was silent for a long time after receiving the edict, Wen Duqiao continued:

"Duke Han came to see me with the edict of the first emperor, and Zhao Mingting was waiting in my mansion at that time. Niu Gengru and Yang Tai and I couldn't persuade Han Gong to surrender, and Empress Xu lost patience and sent Zhou Bin to prison with wine, but Zhang Xinchun insisted that Han Gong should be punished in the market to set an example. Empress Xu's murderous thoughts are too great, and I can't persuade him to do so—of course, Hou Ye was able to get out of the marriage contract in Fanchang back then, and he and his wife must have expected this, and there is no need for Wen to defend himself in the matter of Han Gong. Of course, Wen is indeed guilty of acting for the tiger......"

Hearing Wen Duqiao say this, Gao Shao, Guo Rong, Feng Yi, Feng Yi and others all looked at Han Qian and Wang Jun, Han Qian held the secret edict and trembled slightly, it can be seen that he was emotional in his heart, but Wang Jun was calmer than they imagined, and they knew that what the old fox Wen Duqiao said was true, and they even expected that the edict was in Wen Duqiao's hands!

When many things were in Fanchang, Han Qian had already guessed, but when he really saw the edict, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, and after a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Wen Bo, Cao Ba, and Xue Chuan know about the edict?" ”

Wen Bo knew, but Cao Ba, Xue Chuan and the others didn't know. If the Hou Ye wants them to know, they can know, and they will believe it; And even if they don't know about it for the time being, it won't hinder what the Hou Ye is planning. Wen Duqiao said.

"There is no need to leave so many soldiers and horses to watch over here, but it is necessary to leave the necessary guards and protect the special guests, in case they are taken ......advantage of by the enemy" Han Qian had no intention of negotiating too much with Wen Duqiao at this time, and did not answer his words, but gave an order to Xi Fa'er, Han Donghu and other specific people, then put the edict into the sleeve of his robe and walked outside with Wang Jun.

"Master Hou walks slowly, forgive Wen for the inconvenience of sending it far away." Wen Duqiao bowed and watched Han Qian leave.

Seeing Wen Duqiao like this, Feng Yite wanted to scold him, "I also want you to send it", but thinking that this old guy had left this hand at the beginning of the Jinling Incident, he secretly felt that it was better not to provoke, so he turned his head and followed Han Qian and the others out.

"You stay and settle Duke Wen with General Xi and General Han." Feng Yi saw Feng Yi coming from behind, and whispered to him, asking him to stay, and settle Wen Duqiao and the Wen clan with Xi Fa'er and Han Donghu according to Han Qian's instructions.

Xi Fa'er and Han Donghu are both important by Han Qian's side, and once they get busy, they may not be able to take care of this side, but Wen Duqiao and the Wen clan's side, at this time, they must have an understanding

Anyone who knows the secret can take care of it at any time.

Feng Yi felt that it was appropriate for the idle Feng Yi to take over this matter.

Feng Yi accompanied Xi Fa'er and Han Donghu to stay first, he was still shocked by the edict at first, watching Xi Fa'er and Han Donghu call in the main person guarding here, and ordered most of the guards outside to be withdrawn, leaving only the necessary guards and monitoring manpower, and ordering the guards not to be rude to the Wen family, Feng Yi suddenly thought of one thing, mysteriously pulled Xi Fa'er aside, and asked in a surprised and happy whisper:

"What did Wen Lao Gou mean by what he said to Han Qian just now, does it mean that Wen Bo and the defenders of Luoshan can be used by me Tangyi from now on?"

"Ah, did Lord Feng react?" Xi Fa'er looked at Feng Yi in surprise and asked.

"Hey, I was thinking about the ruthlessness of this old dog's secret edict to leave a way back for himself, and my mind didn't turn around for a while." Feng Yi patted his head and said embarrassedly.

"It seems that it is inconvenient to call Mr. Wen that way in the future." Xi Fa'er reminded.

"It's just a few more words of scolding now, I know it in my heart," Feng Yi said happily, "Wen Bo really wants to be able to use it in Tangyi, his father and son are so powerful, I can't hide from them, why should I provoke them?" I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it! Han Qian asked Han Donghu to sneak to Xuzhou to rob people before, and I thought that maybe I could only contain Li Zhihe, Chai Jian and others and not use troops against Guanzhong without authorization, but I didn't expect that we would be able to gain so much......

"What are Lord Feng and General Xi talking about?" Han Donghu had instructed the guards and supervision, and came over and asked.

Feng Yi saw that Wen Duqiao, Wen Zhanyu and others also looked over here, and replied to Han Donghu loudly, saying: "There are a few houses on the adjacent street that have just been renovated, and we haven't decided who will move in......

"Thank you, Lord Xiaofeng, for taking care of me." Wen Duqiao thanked him.

…………

…………

Feng Yi, Xi Fa'er, and Han Donghu quickly instructed these trivial but not sloppy things, and hurried through the misty bluestone long street to Lianyuan.

At this time, it was not yet dawn, and they saw Huo Li from a distance leading the two of them out with their horses, and stopped at the gate of Lianyuan to ask them what they were doing.

"Your Excellency ordered us to rush to Dongguan Town immediately, and Lord Guo escorted Cao Gan to Liyang." Huo Li replied.

Feng Yi asked suspiciously, "What, Han Qian really wants to help the townsman usurp the throne?" But according to Han Qian's previous analysis, even if Wen Bo is willing to lead the Luoshan defenders to surrender to us, or even willing to send troops to reinforce Shuzhong when the situation is urgent, it will not be of much use? ”

Xi Fa'er and Han Donghu were also confused.

There were more than 15,000 defenders in Luoshan, of which less than 10,000 were under the command of Wen Bo.

If it was really as predicted before, the situation in Shuzhong had completely deteriorated, and with 10,000 elites from Wenbo, and then 3,500 soldiers and horses were transferred from Xuzhou, they went to Shuzhong, where they were unfamiliar with the place and had no guarantee of logistics and supplies, and joined forces with the Yuzhou soldiers of the Marquis of Changxiang, which definitely did not play a decisive role.

Huo Li said: "Lord Feng and Lord Guo are also puzzled, Lord Feng said that now let Wen Bo's chess piece come alive before talking about anything else, but he didn't say anything else." ”

"That's right, go and deliver the message, don't delay." Xi Fa'er and Han Donghu asked Huo Li to leave quickly with the people.

They and Feng Yi strode towards the Lian Garden, and when they walked to the study, they saw Han Qian standing under the porch in front of the meeting hall, looking up at the blue and black eaves and courtyard walls looming under the mist, and at the same time instructed Feng Yi, Guo Rong, and Gao Shao on their sides:

"You drafted a letter on my behalf and sent it to Beijing, saying that although we have all kinds of concerns about the development of the war situation in the Central Plains, since Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the princes of the court have decided to join Shu to invade Yongzhou, Tangyi has no reason to stand idly by. However, the Wen thief is stubborn, leading more than 10,000 Kou soldiers to defend Luoshan without surrendering, and containing my Dachu hundreds of thousands of elites can not advance and retreat freely, which is really a great harm to the use of soldiers, please allow me Han Qian to lead the elite of Tangyi, and join forces with the Marquis of Xinjin to attack Luoshan, or surrender or annihilate, this problem must be solved within a month, for my Great Chu to attack Wuguan, Shangluo's soldiers and horses, relieve worries, and avoid unexpected changes in the situation! ”

"If this method is good, we should directly give these people an ultimatum and see if Li Zhihe can capture Luoshan City within a month - if he doesn't have this ability, he should replace us to take over." Feng Yi walked into the courtyard and said with a smile.

"There's no time to give any ultimatum now," Han Qian sighed, and said to the people beside him, "Gao Shao, you immediately draft the order letter, and the three soldiers and horses of He Liufeng, Tan Xiuqun, and Su Lie will immediately be ready to wait for my new order after receiving the military order!" At the same time, he sent someone to see Tiancheng, asking him to transfer more people to the embankment, and it was necessary to repair the Anfeng Canal before the beginning of December, and also send people to see Yang Qin, and first transfer 3,000 sailors to Anfeng to stand by, and ignore the matter that the river will freeze next, and gather people to dig the ice by hand is ......"

At present, Kong Xirong, Lin Sheng, Guo Xiao, Zhao Wuji and others led more than 16,000 infantry cavalry to assemble in the two cities of Le'an and Huangchuan in the east of Gwangju.

At this time, if the three brigades of He Liufeng, Tan Xiuqun, and Su Lie, who were already in a semi-assembled state of departure, were transferred to Le'an or Huangchuan, it would mean that they would gather 30,000 elites on the western flank, which ranged from fifty to eighty miles away from Luoshan City.

Han Qian did this, naturally he didn't go with Song Zhe to give some ultimatum to the Great Chu Imperial Court.

When the troops and horses are assembled, he will directly lead his troops to the west and force Li Zhihe to withdraw from Luoshan City, ensuring that Wen Bo's troops can move in the fastest time, instead of continuing to be trapped in Luoshan City.

If you play the trick of "ultimatum", you will get caught up in the intrigue and bargaining with each other for too long and waste too much time.

Time is precisely the last thing he can afford to waste right now.

If it is delayed for a month or two, and finally wins the support of some people in the DPRK and China, and then they send troops to force Li Zhihe to withdraw, the matter is still far away

There is no end.

Even if there is an edict to prove the tragic death of his father Han Daoxun, Wen Duqiao is not the direct culprit, but because of this, because the family is under the control of Tangyi, they will send someone over casually, and Wen Bo will accept it unconditionally and unreservedly?

Even if Wen Bo agrees, he has nothing to worry about, but in the case of not making the edict public, those generals under Wen Bo are all puppeteers, and they will follow Wen Bo all the way to the dark regardless of whether they will be liquidated or not, and they will not mutiny?

Things are not so easy, and there is still time to negotiate with Wen Bo and his core generals Cao Ba, Xue Chuan and others, to carry out the necessary relief, and also to use force to deter, and then to carry out the necessary reorganization and rectification of their departments.

However, after this whole process, when this army of soldiers and horses was barely usable, the daylily was cold.

Therefore, it is necessary to take a two-pronged approach, and even say that the work on the Jinling side is only superficial work, more to create momentum, and in turn to isolate Li Zhihe and Lu Qingxia and others, it is also convenient for everyone to have steps to go down in the future.

By the end of November, the north and south rivers will basically freeze and freeze.

At this time, Han Qian transferred a large number of naval warships to the vicinity of Anfeng Village, where there was no well-defended naval camp, and the warships stayed in the waterways of Anfeng Canal, which was very easy to become the target of the Shouzhou army's surprise attack.

However, if we can invest more manpower and dig river ice along the coast every day, the naval warships can still maintain a certain degree of mobility in the Beiqi River.

Of course, this requires the construction of the Anfeng Canal first.

The more important significance of this is to make Lu Qingxia and Li Zhihe believe that when necessary, after the river ice melts at the end of January next year, the Tangyi Navy will break through the blockade of the Zuolou Boat Army near the mouth of the lower reaches of the Beiqi River at all costs, enter the upper reaches of the Huai River, and join the defenders stationed in Luoshan or Huangchuan, and at the same time, it will also force the Xiangbei Army to be unable to gain a foothold in any city near the upper reaches of the Huai River!

Not to mention that Feng Yi, Xi Fa'er, and Han Donghu, who had just rushed over, had just rushed back, Feng Yi, Gao Shao, Guo Rong and others were also frightened by the edict at this time, and secretly rejoiced that they had the opportunity to directly recruit the defenders of Luoshan, and their minds were floating, and they couldn't keep up with Han Qian's train of thought for a while, and couldn't help asking: "What are the specific plans for the follow-up?" ”

They are also assertive people, even if they follow Han Qian's orders, they must first ask Han Qian's true intentions.

"If everything is according to the plans of the Marquis of Changxiang and Wang Yong, it will only make the overall situation of the world completely eroded and difficult to clean up, and if they really want to make trouble, they have to let us directly participate in it - you come in with me." Han Qian asked everyone to walk in with him, so that he could explain more clearly his plan to deduce the night with Wang Jun last night......

…………

…………

From Dongguan Town, go to the southern foot of Xuwei Mountain to Liyang City, and the round trip is only one hundred and ten miles.

The mountain dwarf horses in Nanzhao and Guizhou have good endurance and can bear hardships and stand hard work, but the speed of rapid marching is too slow, and the daily travel of 100 miles is almost the limit.

However, the best Western Tibetan war horses were able to run a record of 200 miles in three hours.

The sound of horses' hooves "clicking" is like thunder rolling on the post road in front of the southern foot of Mt. Sumi.

Huo Li rushed to Dongguan Town with people to deliver the message, in the early morning mist, Guo and Huo Li led more than a dozen cavalry to escort Cao Gan to Liyang City, the morning mist had just dissipated, and the pale and weak sun had just climbed to the treetops.

Yesterday, they obviously met at the mouth of the Yuxi River, and rushed to Dongguan Town together to settle down, but in addition to seeing Feng Yi and Guo Qi at night, Han Qian suddenly said that he had something to do and left Dongguan Town, and he didn't even show his face again, and Cao Gan was also extremely worried.

He didn't know if something had happened to Tangyi, or if Han Qian had guessed his intentions and had no intention of supporting them in their scheme, so he suddenly decided to avoid it.

At this time, Liyang was already in a cold weather, and he rode his horse all the way, and Cao Gan, who was wearing a robe and dressed as a businessman, was covered with dense beads of sweat on his forehead, and he didn't have time to wipe it, so he walked into Han Qian's mansion in Liyang City with Guo Ke and Huo Li with a little apprehension.

In the study, only Feng Yi and Guo Rong stood next to them to discuss something, and the others didn't know where to go, or they were busy green.

Feng Yi saw Cao Gan and Guo walking to the front of the porch, and came over to ask Cao Gan and them to go in; Han Qian was writing a letter by himself, and did not ask Guo Rong or Huo Xiao to do it for him.

Cao Gan hesitated for a while, and when he saw Han Qian raise his head, he arched his hand and asked, "Master Hou suddenly left Dongguan Town last night, but I don't know if something happened to Tangyi suddenly?" ”

"Yesterday, there was a very special guest in Liyang City, and he suddenly said that there was a handwritten letter left by the first emperor of Great Chu back then, and he wanted to hand it over to me in person - I was anxious to identify the authenticity of the first emperor's handwritten letter yesterday, and I asked Lord Cao to forgive me for my negligence,"

Han Qian put down his pen, stamped the written letter and put it in the envelope, asked someone to take it and seal it with fire paint, and motioned to Feng Yi to take the edict of Emperor Tianyou who harmed his father from the desk to Cao Gan, and said,

"By the way, please also ask Lord Cao to help me refer to this handwritten letter of the First Emperor of Great Chu, whether it is true or false......"

Cao Gan was about to say where he could recognize Emperor Tianyou's handwriting, but when he took the edict and looked down at the contents inside, the whole person was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.

Regarding how Han Daoxun was harmed by the Anning Palace, Cao Gan naturally heard a lot of rumors that were true and false, but he didn't expect that there would really be such an edict, let alone that this edict would fall back into Han Qian's hands at this time.

"Master Cao, can we open the window now and say something?" Han Qian's eyes stared at Cao Gan and asked.

Cao Gan felt like a thousand heavy objects pressing on the palm of his hand at this moment, and his intention had already been hinted at to Feng Yi, believing that Han Qian did not need to take a forged edict from the Great Chu Emperor to cover his words.

And if this edict is true, the meaning it represents is too complicated and too important, so complicated that he can't help but have a dry mouth.
