Facing Li Changfeng and the others who came angrily, Han Qian just spread his hands and said:

"Ben Hou really didn't know about this, I'm afraid there was really some misunderstanding. Ben Hou couldn't get out of his body at this time, so he could only let Guo Rong accompany Li Hou to Canglang for a trip, and ask Wen Bo face to face to ask what was going on. Li Hou thinks it's good? ”

Han Qian pushed it all again, how could Xu Jing and Yao Xishui believe him easily?

Li Changfeng pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "Then Benhou will go first." ”

Fighting a war here, there will be no result, now Tangyi soldiers are strong and strong, unless Xiangbei, Huaidong, and Shouwangfu can form a consensus and form an offensive and defensive alliance, otherwise any family will have no way to take Tangyi.

And they hurried to Canglang, and it was only two days.

Running this trip, although people will be extremely hard, but even if they really want to attack Han Qian and Tangyi's army, or even invite Huaidong and Shouwangfu, Zheng and others to attack them in groups, they need to be exact, not bad for three or five days.

Since he decided to go to Canglang first, Li Changfeng did not delay here in Huangchuan, in addition to sending two people to report to Li Zhihe, they went directly to Jiuliguan from Huangchuan.

At the beginning of the first month, the trail at the southern foot of Tongbai Mountain is covered with residual snow, and the galloping horses' hooves trample on the frozen ridges, as if a low thunder is spreading among the mountains and forests.

In order to facilitate the faster arrival in Canglang City, Huo Li led two teams of a total of 120 guards and cavalry to escort Guo Rong on the road, but he brought more than 300 Xibo war horses.

Li Changfeng and Xu Jing didn't suspect anything else, only when Han Qian was pretending to show a posture of figuring out what was going on as soon as possible, and at the same time they were worried that they would make small moves to harm core figures like Guo Rong, so they sent so many guards and more war horses that could replace the footsteps.

Two days later, they arrived in Fancheng.

Chai Jian also led the guards into Fancheng for the first time, and when he saw Guo Rong coming on behalf of Han Qian, he naturally didn't have a good face, and his subordinates even tried to detain more than 100 guards and cavalry led by Guo Rong and Huo Li.

The Luoshan defenders were originally ducks in their mouths, and the Tangyi army came in arrogantly and unreasonably, making the Luoshan defenders independent of the new army outside Xiangbei, which has made the Xiangbei generals full of anger, not to mention that in just over ten days, there was such a moth, and the Xiangbei generals with strong blood, rough temper and direct temper, how many people can bear it?

The two sides were tense, but Li Changfeng and Xu Jing tried their best to mediate, so there was no bloody conflict.

After resting in Fancheng for a night, Li Changfeng ignored the dissuasion of Chai Jian and Xu Jing, and did not ignore the possibility of being detained by Wen Bo, and the next day he set out from Fancheng with Guo Rong and Sima Fei Wenbo, a marching army under Chai Jian, and marched west along the north bank of the Han River, and went to Canglang City to meet Wen Bo to question about the unexplained stop.

Perhaps it was the battle of Zhongli that left a very deep psychological shadow on Xu Jing, he and Chen Ruyi, the regular attendant in the Chongwen Palace, stayed in Fancheng, and followed Chai Jian to watch the development of the situation, but Yao Xishui took his personal maid Ye Feiying and rushed to Canglang City with Li Changfeng and Guo Rong.

In addition to Chai Jian personally rushing back to Fancheng to sit in the town, there were tens of thousands of elites of the Zuo Shenwu Army who had quickly withdrawn from the Fangcheng defense line and moved towards Xichuan and Fancheng as quickly as possible.

And when the new Right Shenwu Guard Army was advancing westward, the local defense system along the way was also activated, and it was in a state of high alert.

Even now, Chai Jian sent scouts through the mountains on the northeast side, and it was confirmed that Wen Bo did not drive troops to attack Canglang City.

The defense of Canglang City was strengthened before the arrival of the new right Shenwu army, and there were five hundred county soldiers to defend, and most of these people were elite veterans who had retired from the cottage soldiers, and the defenders noticed the abnormality of the new right Shenwu army for the first time, and directly recruited the young men in the city to the head of the city, and there were thousands of people guarding the city wall at this time.

Wen Bo lacked the necessary weapons, and it was not something that could be achieved in a day or two if he wanted to storm Canglang City, not to mention that Chai Jian could also directly send reinforcements from Xiangfan or Xichuan and Jingzikou to Canglang City through the waterways of Hanshui and Danjiang.

The situation has developed to this point, Yao Xishui is also completely confused, and he can't guess what Wen Bo or Han Qian, who is secretly hiding behind the scenes, wants to do.

The Han River and the Danjiang River meet in the southwest of Canglang City, and the northwest mountains stretch and are steep, attacking the Han River from the north and the Danjiang River from the west, thus forming two narrow land passages that are easy to defend and difficult to attack on the east bank of the Danjiang River and the north bank of the Han River.

At present, the newly formed Right Shenwu Army is mainly assembled behind these two narrow passages, and the Xiangbei Army currently does not have a strong naval warship to control the Hanshui and Danjiang rivers, and it is quite difficult to attack the Right Shenwu Army from both flanks.

Rushed to the right Shenwu army in front of the big camp on the north bank of the Han River, Wen Bo made the deputy general Xue Chuan greet him in front of the gate.

Guo Rong and Huo Li could lead the guards directly into the camp, while Li Changfeng, Yao Xishui and others were asked to leave the guards outside the camp, and even a few people who were close to them were strictly searched to prevent hiding short blades.

Wen Bo's posture made it clear that he had colluded with Han Qian, but they had already run to the big tent of the Right Shenwu Army, Li Changfeng was not afraid of being detained, and it was impossible for Yao Xishui to turn around and go back to Fancheng.

A group of people walked into the command tent temporarily set up by Wen Bo in a depressed atmosphere.

Wen Bo treated Li Changfeng politely, respected his status as a squire of the Ministry of War and Minister of Participation, and specially invited him to sit down until the Central Committee's chief case before ordering the left and right guards to withdraw and discuss secret matters.

"Why did the Right Shenwu Army stay in Canglang City and no longer go north, can General Wen give Ben Hou and Lord Guo an explanation at this time?" Li Changfeng's eyes stared at Wen Bo, who was sitting on the left side, and asked in a deep voice.

In the big tent, in addition to Wen Bo, Xue Chuan, Cao Ba, Wen Yuan and others are all the core generals of the Right Shenwu Army, Yao Xishui is also staring at their faces to observe the subtle changes in their expressions, figuring out what happened to cause such a change.

"There is indeed a reason why the last general led his troops to stay under Canglang City and did not leave, but the stakes are very high, and the last general did not dare to decide on his own, and he was worried that the generals of Xiangbei were very wary of the last general, and they did not dare to communicate with him easily, so they could only wait for Li Bingbu and Lord Guo to come over to preside over the big event." Wen Bo said in a deep voice.

Li Changfeng was a squire of the military department at this time, and he said that he Li Bingbu naturally promoted him, but these were all details, Li Changfeng would not be easily bewitched, and asked impatiently: "What is the matter, there are no outsiders here, please General Wen to come." ”

"When the last general went to Canglang, he met more than a dozen merchants, claiming to be the envoys of Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, saying that Wang Hongyi, the prince of Shu, was plotting to frame the Marquis of Changxiang and harm him, and after they got the news, they went from Liangzhou along the Han River to Chu for help...... Wen Bo said.

"Nonsense! Wen Bo really thinks that Benhou is so easy to bully you? Li Changfeng glared at Wen Bo angrily, he wouldn't believe Wen Bo's nonsense, where in the world could such a coincidence?

"Yes or no, or you can ask the envoy of the Changxiang Marquis to come and see you." Guo Rong said slowly.

Li Changfeng exhaled lightly, knowing in his heart that even if he knew that everything in front of him was a play arranged by Han Qian and Wen Bo together, he could only watch them perform the play first, waved his hand, and motioned for Wen Bo to call the so-called envoys of the Marquis of Changxiang in.

After a while, I saw Guo come in with two men, one elder and one younger, the elder was only twenty-four or five years old, and the younger one was only fourteen or fifteen years old. ”

Yao Xishui and Sima Fei Wenbo, the marching army of the Zuo Shenwu Army, both gasped, and suddenly realized that if the identities of Cao Yong and Wang Ang were true, the entire situation that Han Qian had conspired to lay out was far bigger than they imagined.

Guo is a soldier of the Han family, he was only twenty-five or sixteen years old at this time, but he is a very important figure by Han Qian's side; They suffered such a big loss in Chenzhou, which was caused by Guo Ke's targeting.

It was previously confirmed that when Wen Bo led the new Right Shenwu Army to the west, Guo did not appear near Luoshan City, and then they pulled Guo Rong over, and only more than 100 guards in Tangyi accompanied by Wang Wenqian's wife and nephew, and it can also be confirmed that Guo was not among them; Obviously, Cao Yong and Wang Ang rushed to Canglang with Guo to meet Wen Bobo.

This means that the identities of Cao Yong and Wang Ang will not be fake.

Carefully distinguishing, the faces of the two of them are indeed similar to Cao Gan and Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong.

Of course, the so-called nonsense that Wang Hongyi conspired to harm Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, and they had to rush over to ask for help, they would not believe it if they were killed.

Wang Hongyi, the son of Shu, wished that his half-brother Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, would die, but no matter how stupid Wang Xianyi was, it was impossible for him to choose to make a move on Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, when the core lineage Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian led their troops to leave Shu and were attacking the hinterland of Guanzhong.

In fact, they had also expected that Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong might launch a mutiny and usurp the throne, but they thought that Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong would be more patient and would wait until Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian's troops could not get out of the hinterland of Guanzhong before making a move.

However, everything in front of him shows that Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, not only wanted to preemptively attack Wang Hongyi, but also worried that his strength was not enough to succeed, and secretly found Han Qian to borrow troops.

The Right Shenwu Army was the reinforcement that Han Qian promised to lend.

The so-called recruitment of the Liang Bo Department and the Zuo Wuxiang Army to attack Guanzhong is a big lie told by Han Qian; And Cao Yong and Wang Ang came to Canglang with Guo, which can be said to be the protons sent by Changxianghou.

Thinking of all this, Yao Xishui and Fei Wenbo both intuitively felt a chill rushing up from the tail vertebrae, and their hearts were shocked and turbulent, and they didn't know what to say or say at all.

This is when Han Qian sent people to infiltrate Xuzhou to kidnap the Wen clan back to Tangyi, he started to set up the bureau?

They were completely unaware of the whole process, and they were always being used by Han Qian as a chess piece?

Li Changfeng's face was gloomy and extremely ugly at this moment, how could he feel better if he was a character like him, being played with by others?

His deep and gloomy eyes swept back and forth between Wen Bo and Guo Rong, and only after a long time did he try his best to suppress the anger in his chest, let out a long breath, and asked in a deep voice: "You have come to this point in your work, and you can completely disown some words when you come out of this big tent, what else can't you open the window to say at this time?" ”

"Hou Ye Li is really an understanding person, not only will some things not be hidden from Hou Ye, but the East Lake side will also send a secret fold to Jinling to explain everything. It's just that the matter is important, and I can't inform Hou Ye Li in advance, and I have to ask Hou Ye Li for forgiveness! Guo Rong said with a smile.

Li Changfeng was not in the mood to accept Guo Rong's nonsense, but just motioned for him to go on.

The reason for the incident was that the Marquis of Changxiang was worried that after Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian led their troops to capture Guanzhong, Wang Hongyi's position would become increasingly stable, and Yuzhou would eventually be purged and even bloodbathed, so he and Cao Gan, Jing Qiongwen and others decided to launch a mutiny and usurp the throne when the Shu army joined forces with Chu to attack Guanzhong. At the beginning of November, Cao Gan secretly arrived at Donghu to seek assistance, and the majority of my family tried hard for several days, but it could not discourage Cao Gan and their determination to start a mutiny. The lesser of the two powers, seeing that the Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong's mind has been decided, my family can only be forced to choose to help the Xianghou make trouble......"

"You only have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses here, even if no one drags you back, 12,000 soldiers and horses can all advance westward along the Han River, and the defenders left behind by Wang Hongyi and Zhao Mengji to defend Liangzhou will never be careless if they evacuate, and it will never be possible for you to easily seize Liangzhou and cut off the return route of Zhao Mengji's army - the Marquis of Qianyang should have other deployments, right?" Li Changfeng stared at Guo Rong and asked.

Although Li Changfeng no longer commanded the soldiers and horses for more than ten years, and was mainly idle in Hongzhou, the military strategy was still first-class in the world.

Wen Bo brought Cao Yong and Wang Ang up, and almost unveiled the cards, how could he not guess what Han Qian's intentions were in the northern front?

However, after Changxiang Hou Wang Yong took charge of Yuzhou, his power has become much stronger in recent years, but his influence is mainly concentrated in Yuzhou and other southeastern Shu regions.

Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, is very well planned, he can take advantage of the unpreparedness of Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, and Wang Hongyi, the prince of Shu, to suddenly send troops to occupy Shudu, and it is even very likely that he will successfully usurp the throne in Shudu, but except for a few places such as Yuzhou and Shudu, how can other places in Shu succumb to him as a usurper?

In any case, these places will first maintain a wait-and-see neutrality.

At this time, as long as Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian lead the army back, most of the states and counties in Shu will probably fall into the arms of Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian, and even if Wang Hongyi dies, the soldiers and people of Shu can also support Wang Xiaoxian.

The only chance for Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong was to cut off the return route of Zhao Mengji's army in time, or to wait for Zhao Mengji's army to suffer irreparable heavy losses in Guanzhong, so that he would send troops to occupy Shu and launch a mutiny to usurp the throne, so that he would have enough time to control the situation in other parts of Shu.

From the current point of view, the conspiracy between Han Qian and Changxiang Hou must be to use Wen Bo to lead his troops to raid Liangzhou to cut off the retreat of Zhao Mengji's army to return to Shu in the south.

The problem is that Liangzhou, as an important town in northern Shu controlled by Wang Hongyi, the prince of Shu, left behind in the elite of the Shu army of more than 10,000, and is also the core general of the Shu Shizi line.

"There are already 5,000 elite cavalry guards in Xuzhou and Tangyi, and they are approaching Liangzhou along the Lychee Road under the guise of heavy soldiers and people who are escorting grain from Yuzhou," Guo Rong said, "As long as General Wen leads the right Shenwu army to advance westward along the Han River and attract the main force of the Liangzhou defenders from Liangzhou City, it will not be a problem to capture Liangzhou City." ”

Hearing Guo Rong say this, Li Changfeng couldn't help but ponder.

Liangzhou has six counties under its jurisdiction, and there are two cities adjacent to Junzhou, which are located on the north and south banks of the Han River, and are also the gateway to the east of Liangzhou.

Of course, no matter how fooled the main force of the defenders is, Liangzhou City is its foundation, and the number of troops left behind will definitely not be less than 3,000.

In other words, others may not dare to say that relying on 5,000 strange soldiers can forcibly capture a city with at least 3,000 elites left behind, but if it is said that 5,000 strange soldiers are the elite combat power that Han Qian drew from the Tangyi army, the probability of success is really not low.

After that, Wen Bo led his troops to bypass the interceptors, entered Liangzhou City, and resisted the counterattack of Zhao Mengji's army after meeting with 5,000 strange soldiers......

Seeing that Li Changfeng, the Marquis of Linjin, was actually moved by Guo Rong's words, Fei Wenbo objected loudly:

"Nonsense, my Da Chu and the Shu army agreed to attack Guanzhong, and at this time, I will send troops to help the townsmen rebel and usurp the throne, how will the people of the world think of my Da Chu?"

"The Queen Mother will never sit idly by and watch the treachery of the soldiers and horses of Great Chu, nor will she sit idly by and watch anyone break the alliance between Great Chu and Shu without authorization!" Yao Xishui also said sharply at this time.

She didn't know what means Han Qian used to break the trust barrier between Tangyi and the Wen family, but Han Qian was so relieved to use Wen Bo's department to raid Liangzhou, which already showed that Han Qian's infiltration and control of the newly formed Right Shenwu Army was far beyond their imagination.

At this time, it was too late for them to do everything possible to weaken the Right Shenwu Army, how could they watch them help the Marquis of Changxiang usurp the throne of the Lord of Shu, and how could they watch Han Qian's power grow further?

In any case, they must not give Wen Bo the opportunity to easily lead the Right Shenwu Army to attack Liangzhou, let alone let him easily use the strategy of attacking the east and the west, and lure the main force of the defenders out of Liangzhou City, so that the Tangyi ambush soldiers who infiltrated Shu have the opportunity to attack Liangzhou City.

Fei Wenbo continued: "I still advise you to rein in the precipice as soon as possible, at this time General Chai has rushed to Fancheng to take charge, and the Marquis of Jiangyin and his people are in Jingzikou, even if you threaten the life of the Marquis of Linjin at this time, it is impossible to shake the will of General Chai and the Marquis of Jiangyin - if you dare to act rashly, tens of thousands of elites will swoop directly from both wings, and you will wait for the disaster of destruction to come!" ”

Yao Xishui also stared at Wen Bo and Guo Rong with cold eyes at this time, and couldn't help but sneer, thinking that no one was holding back, Han Qian's strategy of attacking the east and the west and attacking Liangzhou might be successful, but they didn't even capture Canglang City now, and the food in the army may only be enough for three or five days, Chai Jian didn't need to ask the Marquis of Jiangyin to transfer troops from Jingzikou, he only needed to command the Right Guards to attack from both wings, and the defenders of Canglang City should be combined with the outside, maybe it only took three or five days to defeat the new Right Shenwu Army.

Could it be that they still expect Chai Jian to cooperate with them?

Yao Xishui couldn't help but want to laugh at their whimsy.

Li Changfeng looked at Wen Bo and Guo Rong's calm expressions, and couldn't help but sigh, and asked with a gloomy expression: "Qianyang Hou has been planning for so long, it is impossible to leave such a big flaw, is Lord Jiangzhou Assassin Zhou in the waves?" ”

Zhou Yu in the waves?

Yao Xishui was so shocked that she almost jumped up, and Fei Wenbo even knocked over the tea cup in front of him, and they panicked in a hurry, but they didn't expect Han Qian to have this move.

"If you really can't hide anything from Hou Ye Li," Zhou Yan, who was tall and thin, was wearing a civilian robe, walked out from behind the screen, and bowed his hand and said, "The old mother is seriously ill, Zhou Yi is very worried, and he can't wait to report to the imperial court, so he secretly rushed back to Canglang, I didn't expect to meet Hou Ye Li here, and I want to ask Hou Ye Li not to make a noise, so as to encourage Zhou Yi to be reprimanded by the imperial court......"

Zhou Yan's words were humble and polite, but Yao Xishui's heart was half cold at this moment, and he looked at Guo Rong, Zhou Yan, Wen Bo and others stupidly.

She never thought that Han Qian was really exhausted, and he had already asked Zhou Qian to sneak back to Canglang from Jiangzhou in advance to plot a secret.

The so-called mother's illness is just a deception to the world and a deception.

And Zhou Yi and Chen Jingzhou are both representatives of the Junzhou cottage forces, Junzhou in the west of Canglang City, the north bank of the Han River newly placed Jingyun County, the county governance is in the early years of Zhou Yi ruled Jingyun Village foundation expansion.

Originally, Han Qian requisitioned the cottage people who built Canglang, mainly from Jingyun Village, all of whom were under Zhou Yi, and the earliest group of households in Canglang City also moved from Jingyun Village and other places.

After that, these people and a large number of other people from the Qinling Mountains established great achievements in guarding Canglang and Xichuan.

After the war, led by Zhou Yi and Chen Jingzhou, these generals were regarded as copycats close to Han Qian in the left and right dragon bird armies. Zhou Yi and Chen Jingzhou were ostracized and suppressed, and were successively transferred out of the army, and a considerable number of cottage military attachés were also suppressed, so they withdrew from the camp and returned to the locality.

Although the copycat forces of the Dragon Bird Army were dismembered, it is undeniable that these military attaches quickly became the backbone of local forces after retiring to the countryside.

Zhou Yi's appearance here also means that the Right Shenwu Army is very likely to have the ability to take the two cities of Canglang and Jingyun without bloodshed, and can get a certain amount of grain and straw supplies from the villages in the mountains.

In this way, they have a city to defend on the bank of the Danjiang River in Hanshui, and they are not worried about the shortage of grain for a short time, and they are not afraid of Chai Jian's troops attacking from both flanks.

Or maybe Zhou Yi had secretly met with the guards of Canglang and Jingyun and reached a conspiracy.

The two cities of Canglang and Jingyun are located behind the Deng Jun defense line, and they have always recruited three to five hundred county soldiers to be responsible for the defense of the city and the arrest of thieves - Jingyun County borders the eastern border of Liangzhou, and its strategic position is still extremely prominent, but since the two countries reached a peace agreement, neither side has stationed elite forbidden troops in the bordering counties.

Although the main official positions such as county commanders, county officials, county lieutenants, and lords in these two places are directly appointed by the imperial court, considering the emotions of taking care of the cottage generals, almost half of them are from the cottage generals, not to mention the six chambers below.

After all, over the years, the cottage system has made great achievements for Emperor Yanyou's accession to the throne, and no matter how to cross the river and tear down the bridge, there must be a limit.

In addition to most of the official positions held by Zhou Yi and Chen Jingzhou, the county soldiers of the two counties were mainly elite veterans of the cottage soldiers.

Over the years, they may not necessarily recognize Han Qian, but Zhou Yi and Chen Jingzhou are their old village owners, old bosses, and old family owners - Yao Xishui really can't imagine that Zhou Yi appeared under Canglang City at this time, and there are 10,000 taels of elite generals of the newly formed Right Shenwu Army led by Wen Bo, do they still have the ability to prevent Wen Bo from sending troops to lure the main force of the Liangzhou defenders out of Liangzhou City?

"After the Marquis of Changxiang promised to succeed, in addition to paying a vassal to Dachu, respecting His Majesty as a brother, and paying an annual tribute of 200,000 yuan, he will also return the two states of Liang Kip to Dachu," Guo Rong said, "Cao Yong and Wang Ang, the prince of the Marquis of Changxiang, came to ...... with a letter of state."

Obviously, Guo Rong entered Wen Bo's big tent with them, Li Changfeng didn't know when he first saw the so-called "national letters" brought by Cao Yong and Wang Ang from Guo Ke or Wen Bo, it is estimated that these are the conditions that Han Qian and the Marquis of Changxiang negotiated in advance, right?
