Shen Yang saw that Qin Wen frowned, as if he had a different opinion on Zhang Xian's words, so he asked:

"What do you think about this?"

Qin Wen frowned and said: "The issue of the Western Front is not only related to Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian, who have publicly stated that they want to surrender the Mugyus, and Li Zhihe is likely to surrender to the Mughurs, but more importantly, whether the Liang army can gain a firm foothold in the Heluo area. According to the information provided by the Division, the Liang army is currently entrenched in the Heluo area, although there are still 80,000 soldiers, but there are too many injuries and diseases, and in the past few years, they have been in a disadvantage and gritted their teeth to support the battle, and their combat effectiveness has dropped even more, and there are many people who are cowardly and afraid of war. In the area currently controlled by the Western Liang army, agricultural production has been seriously damaged, and the supply of materials is in short supply, and when the Mengwu people and the Eastern Liang army have rested and recuperated, they will attack Heluo from three sides again, and the Liang army may not be able to withstand it, and the imperial court must consider the possibility that Heluo will fall into the hands of the Mengwu people and the remnants of the Liang army will be completely annihilated. If this situation occurs, the Eastern Liang Army, which occupies the vast area east of Yingshui, will be held back from the western flank, and its main force will be tilted towards the banks of the Huai River. And the Mengwu people who occupied Guanzhong will also be able to go south with all their strength because there is no one to contain them on the flanks, and attack Liangzhou through Fu Luo, Chencang and other provinces, and enter Guanjunzhou through Wuguan Road - at that time, Li Zhihe, who is entrenched in Liangzhou, and then surrender to the Mughu, the situation on the entire western front may be even worse than what Lord Zhang said......"

"What does Lord Qin mean?" Zhang Xian looked at Qin and asked hesitantly.

"We can't sit back and watch Deng Jun and the two states fall into the hands of Tangyi," Qin Wen naturally wouldn't speak for Tangyi publicly, and said with a slight mutter, "I think that the remnants of Li Zhihe will be pursued along the Han River to the west, and only one elite army or the right Wuxiang army needs only one elite to be competent, and the other elite of the forbidden camp can completely go out of Wuguan to attack Guanzhong Huqi." Didn't Han Qian always emphasize that the situation on the Western Front was worried about deterioration, so he insisted that his troops should send troops to fight with the Liang army? I think that now only Zhang Qian or General Zhao Zhen is needed, and one person can take the responsibility of sending troops to Wuguan, and I believe that Han Qian has nothing else to say except for withdrawing his troops and horses from Deng Jun Erzhou......

Qin Wen said this, Zhang Xian could not suspect that he was speaking for Tangyi, in fact, Qin Wen proposed a feasible plan that could make the Tangyi army withdraw from Dengjun and the two states.

However, the question is, can they convince either Zhang Ben or Zhao Zhen to be willing to take on the responsibility of sending troops to the military level?

Defending the dangerous pass to resist the enemy outside the Wuguan Pass, and sending troops from Wuguan to enter Shangluo, or even launching an offensive from Shangluo against the enemy troops entering the Weinan Plain, are completely two different concepts.

Whether it is Zhang Pan or Zhao Zhen, as a veteran general of Dachu, no one will be afraid to guard the Wuguan of Wanfu Moguan, but if they compete with the superior enemy army for Shangluo and even the Weinan area, the battle situation will definitely be several times more tragic than the simple defense of Wuguan and Jingzikou.

Before seeing enough benefits, who wants to easily throw their descendants into a battlefield that is destined to be like a meat grinder?

The Chu army only defended Wuguan and Jingzikou, and the Mengwu people who occupied the pass only needed to send a small number of elite soldiers and horses to block the possibility of the Chu army going north from the dangerous pass on the other side, and they could even ignore the possible changes in Wuguan and directly use troops in other directions such as Sichuan, Shu or Heluo.

The Chu army's entry into the Shangluo region, which was also the northeastern foot of the Qinling Mountains, directly threatened the Weinan hinterland of Guanzhong, and the Mughurs did not even dare to attack Heluo from the western flank until this threat was resolved, or until a solid defensive line was formed on the northern flank of Shangluo.

The reverse is also true, if the Chu army really wants to support the Liang army from the western front to gain a firm foothold in Heluo and avoid the collapse of the situation in Heluo, it must have elite combat power to go out of the military pass and enter the Shangluo area, and even need to further point directly at Weinan to effectively contain the enemy.

Qin Wen pointed out that the core of the problem was whether the responsibility for sending troops from Wuguan was borne by the Tangyi army, or by Zhao Zhen or Zhang Yun's subordinates, rather than simply forcing the Tangyi army to drive out of Dengjun and the two prefectures.

Seeing that Shen Yang was indecisive, Qin Wen said again: "Do you want to go to Marquis Yang's mansion at night to sit down?" ”

In the first Hehuai War, Tangyi took advantage of a lot, but as far as the overall situation of the world was concerned, even before the Ministry Division provided more detailed information, Yang En insisted that the Mengwu people who captured Yongzhou and occupied most of the elite areas of Guanzhong had already gained a strategic advantage.

At this time, if Yang En wanted to express his position, Qin Wen undoubtedly believed that Yang En would agree with his proposition - in addition to the secret guidance of the hidden personnel, some changes were also quietly taking place in the perception of the Mughuls and Heshuo in the DPRK; At the insistence of Changxin Palace, neither the court nor the central government can openly suppress the voices supporting Tangyi - at this time, it is no problem for the Tangyi army to withdraw from Deng Jun Erzhou, but the imperial court must have elite soldiers and horses to enter the Shangluo area from Wuguan, so that Dachu can have a certain initiative strategically.

Shen Yang could naturally guess Yang En's attitude, and said hesitantly: "Zhang Jiao's department is guarding Xiangcheng at this time, and theoretically he should continue to be responsible for attacking and suppressing the rebels in Xiangbei, but Zhao Zhen is willing to lead the troops out of the military pass, and maybe he has to send someone to communicate with King Xin......"

Seeing that Shen Yang was obviously persuaded by Qin Wen, Zhang Xian and Zhou Qinian were not able to refute anything for the time being, and everything else would be discussed after sending someone to communicate with Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters; If Zhao Zhen's subordinates or even more elites of the original Chuzhou army can enter the Shangluo region to fight, they will also be happy to see it.

At this time, Shen Yang's car drove over, and Qin Wen was about to send Shen Yang with Zhou Qinian and Zhang Xiangong to leave the Shangshu Provincial Government Office by car first, but saw Zheng Chang in the imperial history with a few officials, walking towards this side in a hurry.

Shen Yang stopped, he didn't know what was going on in the Yushitai, he needed Zheng Chang to run directly to Shangshu Province with a roar, and he couldn't even wait for the time to send a famous official to report the gift?

"Empress Xu and Emperor Sun Yang Fen have arrived at Jinghaimen Wharf!" Zheng Chang walked over and said in a low voice.

"Empress Xu has arrived in Jinling alive, what about Zhang Xinchun?" Qin Wen was also taken aback, and interjected in confusion.

Zheng Chang didn't mind Qin Wen's interjection, he was still quite unsure at this moment, and said: "I just sent someone to Jinghaimen Wharf to take over the matter, and the person who reported the news said that all the criminals were sent to Jinling for trial, and they should all be alive, right?" ”

Shen Yang frowned, and Zhang Xian and Zhou Qinian also looked at each other.

Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang sent people to escort Yang Fen, Empress Xu, and Zhang Xinchun to the south of the Duke of Chu, and Tangyi sent people to pass on the news to Jinling a few days ago, and theoretically officials from Dali Temple or Yushitai should cross the river to take over the matter.

However, Dali Temple and Yushitai did not move and did not send people to cross the river.

The princes of the political hall also pretended to be deaf and dumb, and even Shen Yang was mentally prepared for Empress Xu, Zhang Xinchun and others to fall ill on the way and become ill, and Tangyi finally sent Yang Fen, the Duke of Chu, to Jinling.

"Han Qian, in order to occupy Deng Jun's second state, such a good opportunity, he won't even take revenge on his father?" Zhang Xian asked with a little contempt and hesitation.

Qin Wen frowned slightly, pondering the meaning of Zhang Xian's words, thinking in his heart that Zhang Xian's gang had already prepared to be impeached once Empress Xu and Zhang Xinchun died violently, and used this as a bargaining chip to expel the Tangyi army from Deng Jun Erzhou?

His previous calculations fell into vain, but at this time, he wanted to make a fuss about "father's hatred" and "filial piety", and even intended to highlight Tangyi's ambition for Deng Jun Erzhou?

Qin Wen secretly felt a headache, the situation in the DPRK and China was not very favorable to Tangyi at this time, once Zhang Xian and others were asked to secretly guide and instigate such a discussion, the situation would only be more unfavorable to Tangyi.

"First put a rebel in Taiwan prison, and many will be discussed tomorrow by the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces." Shen Yang didn't take Zhang Xian's words, and said in a deep voice.

Shen Yang could only make such a decision for the time being, Zheng Chang also nodded, and he didn't want to say anything more before there was further news.

"This is the New Year, Shen Xiang can't be idle for a moment, I really don't know what Han Qian thinks!" Qin Wen said "neither yin nor yang", then beckoned the car to come over, and sent Shen Yang away in the car.

Qin Wen then bowed his hand with Zhang Xian and Zhou Qinian, and left the government office to return to the house.

Although after the palace change, the secretary decided to take Qin Wen as the leader and secretly preside over the secret work, but in order to avoid exposure, he would not take the initiative to contact Yun Puzi or Han Daoming unless it was urgent and necessary.

Therefore, even if he was full of doubts in his heart about Tangyi sending Empress Xu, Zhang Xinchun and others to Jinling alive for trial, and knew that Zhang Xian and others intended to make a fuss about this matter, he could only stand still and wait and see how the situation changed - Zhang Xian and others would secretly do things with their hands and feet, Qin Wen believed that Tangyi should have a prediction and didn't need him to remind anything.

The next day was the last small court before the New Year's Festival, Zheng Changshang neglected to play Xu Hou, Yang Fen, Zhang Xinchun and other rebels were sent to the Yushitai Prison to await trial.

Obviously, Qingyang was also quite shocked when he heard this, but he just said that the New Year Festival was approaching, and the matter would be postponed until the end of the year, and the matter would be revealed for the time being.

After this small dynasty, in addition to the necessary officials on duty, everyone else can take a break until after the Lantern Festival before going to the government office, which is equivalent to everyone starting to pay annual leave.

On the first day of annual leave, Qin Wen first wrote a half-day Spring Festival couplets in the house, ushered in a number of officials who sent them to pay New Year's greetings, and in the afternoon, he also deliberately took his eldest son Qin Yu to bring New Year's gifts to Shen Yang, Li Tang, Zhang Qian, Xue Ruogu and other people's mansions to walk around - Zhang Qian served as the military capital supervisor, and after Huaidong cut the domain, Xue Ruogu served as the assassin of Yangzhou - he took his eldest son Qin Yu back to the house, and the sky was already dark.

Seeing that there were two podocarpus trees showing their heads on the courtyard wall across the street, Qin Wen said, "It's rare to have spare time, you should go to Songhe Tower to drink a pot of tea......

"It's the New Year, who is going out for tea at dinner? It's going to snow! His wife, Zhou, complained.

Qin Wen ignored it, and didn't let the eldest son follow, but just asked two old family members to accompany him, walked out of the mansion, and walked towards the Songhe Tower at the east end of the street......

…………

…………

Walking to the Songhe Tower, Qin Wen asked the servants to wait downstairs, he went upstairs and asked for a quiet room facing the street, waiting for the little maid to bring the stove and tea, looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, just boiling the first pot of tea soup, and suddenly opening a secret door on the east side of the quiet room.

Seeing Feng Yi and Han Daoming walking in, Qin Wen was startled and asked, "What happened in Tangyi?" ”

Feng Yi could not easily reach Jinling, and even if he arrived in Jinling, if something important did not happen, he would never meet him easily; Feng Mi's goal is too big and too eye-catching, not to mention that Feng Mi and Han Daoming entered the Songhe Tower at the same time to meet him?

"In the next period of time, the secret secretary will make every effort to create the illusion that the Tangyi army will send troops from Shangluo and Heluo in Jinling to help the Liang army counterattack and seize Yongzhou!" Feng Yu first said the purpose of his coming this time, and then sat in front of the tea table with Han Daoming, took out three tea cups, and poured hot tea soup for himself, Han Daoming, and Qin Wen.

"Why, my lord wants to send another elite to Heluo at this time, why?" Qin Wen suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked.

In any case, now is by no means the time to counterattack Yongzhou, the conditions are not ripe in all aspects, and the people are too tired; The main purpose of sending Kong Xirong from Wuguan to Shangluo was also to contain the Mengwu soldiers and horses occupying the Weihe Plain from the southern flank, and to alleviate or share the military pressure on Heluo and Sichuan Shu.

At this time, Tangyi sent another army and horses into Henan Mansion (Heluo), there must be other purposes, and in order to cover up this purpose, it is necessary for the secret secretary's hidden personnel in Jinling to actively carry out activities, spread false news from all levels and angles, and mislead the princes of the court.

Just for what reason is it necessary to induce and mislead Jinling in this way?

"Emperor Liang is critically ill, I'm afraid I won't be able to last a few days......" How to spread the news in the court, so as to divert the attention of Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, Zheng Yu and others at a critical time, Qin Wen also needs to jointly formulate a more detailed response strategy, and the key information naturally cannot be hidden from him.

"Emperor Liang is critically ill, why did he invite Tangyi's elite soldiers and horses to enter Henan Mansion?" Qin Wen asked suspiciously.

He thought in his heart that Emperor Liang's critical illness or death would most likely seriously hit the morale of the Liang army and be taken advantage of by the Mughu, but if the Liang army wanted to ask Tangyi for assistance, it should also ask the Tangyi elite to strengthen the containment of the Mengwu soldiers and horses in Guanzhong and the Liang army in the east of Bianxing, where to invite the Tangyi elite to directly enter the Henan Mansion, the core of its current rule?

"Could it be that there was something wrong with Zhu Zhen, the king of Liangluo?" Qin Wen asked hesitantly, thinking that Zhu Zhen, the successor of Liang Emperor Zhu Yu's energy, if there were some accidents unknown to the outside world when he broke through from Yongzhou, Zhu Yu could only pass on the second son who was only twelve years old or a younger son, which would make the situation in Heluo more fragile at that time, and he would indeed need more direct and powerful assistance from Tangyi, but this would not need to mislead Jinling in every possible way?

Qin Wen thought of another possibility, jumped up in disbelief, and asked according to the tea case, "Or is it?" ”

"Yes, it's really the same as you guessed," Feng Yi smiled slightly, and said, "Zhu Zhen, the king of Liangluo, is doing well in Shangluo at this time, and there was no accident when he broke through from Yongzhou City, everything was arranged by Emperor Liang at his insistence, Lei Jiuyuan, Gu Qian, Zhu Juezhong, Jing Hao, Chen Youtong and other Liang ministers were escorted to the rebel prisoners before, and secretly rushed to Liyang to discuss the matter of Yingli!" ”

"Emperor Liang is a real master, he has long understood that only adults can take on the heavy responsibility of reunifying the world!" Qin Wen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He really couldn't imagine that when Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang was critically ill, he would give up the idea of appointing his son Zhu Zhen, and make Heluo and Tangyi twist into a force to resist the southern invasion of the Mughu.

Qin Wen couldn't help but ask: "Emperor Liang arranged it like this, Lei Jiuyuan, Gu Qian and other ministers of Liang State have no objections?" ”

"How can there be no objection? Conservative and stubborn people can still entangle for countless years on the issue of establishing a successor or a virtuous person, not to mention welcoming outsiders as the new master," Feng Yi shook his head, and explained the twists and turns to Qin Wen in detail, and said, "It is also thanks to the fact that the adults are generous enough, in order to resist the southern invasion of the Muslims, they can resolutely let go of their former enmity, and they have done their best to assist the Liang army over the years. If it weren't for that, there would be no hope for this......"

Qin Wen also sighed deeply, Heshuo was shocked, Tangyi's choice was even he was deeply surprised, Emperor Liang returned to Caizhou through Huaixi, and the strategy of hiding the sky and crossing the sea to help the Bianjing army and civilians retreat south, which finally prompted the Western Liang army to preserve such a foundation now.

These are the real foundations, and sending Xu Hou, Zhang Xinchun and other rebels back to the south can only be said to be the last test or test to eliminate the scruples of the generals and ministers of the Liang State, right?

"However, in order to prevent unnecessary turmoil and prevent the enemy army from taking advantage of the turmoil in the hearts of Heluo to launch a war, it is necessary to transfer 20,000 elites to enter Henan Mansion with the adults......"

Even if Lei Jiuyuan, Gu Qian and other core figures of the Liang State have approved of Yingli's matter, if the whole thing really becomes a reality, there will inevitably be some turmoil in the middle and lower ranks of the Liang army and the local forces in Heluo.

At this time, Wusu Dashi and Zhu Rang attacked Heluo from the east and west wings, and Han Qian did not have the elite of his lineage, so it was difficult to command the Liang army, which was not subordinate to each other before, to hold the two wings of Heluo.

On the other hand, not everyone in the Liang army is willing to see that it is not the son of the Zhu clan who succeeds to the throne, and the following things have not happened together in the past hundred years, and there are no descendants to accompany him, Han Qian only took hundreds of guards to Luoyang, and his personal safety may not be guaranteed.

Therefore, it is inevitable to transfer elite soldiers and horses to follow Han Qian into Luoyang City to succeed to the throne.

However, in addition to guarding against the Mugwu and the Eastern Liang army taking the opportunity to make trouble, what we must guard against is the reaction of Jinling's side.

For the Mengwu people and the Eastern Liang army, Heluo will spread the false news that Zhu Zhen, the king of Liangluo, is unfortunately infected with a serious epidemic in the early stage, and the Liang emperor wants to appoint his second son Zhu Ye as the prince - the Liang army and the Tangyi army will maintain a high degree of military vigilance against the Mengwu soldiers and horses and the Eastern Liang army at this time and in the future, and the Mengwu people and the Eastern Liang army will not be fooled, and the problem will not be too big.

However, Zhu Zhen, the king of Liangluo, was with Li Zhen at this time, and in fact, the generals of the old dragon and bird army under Li Zhen were still in the Taowuji Military Mansion, even if the Jinling side could not win Li Zhen over, but in addition to the secret spies of the Ministry Division, even the military department secretly sent people to contact the generals under Li Zhen and his family, wanting to spread the false news that Zhu Zhen, the king of Liangluo, was unfortunately infected with the epidemic, and it was difficult to hide it from Jinling.

Therefore, for Jinling's side, we can only use other fake news to cover up the true intention of Tangyi's elite to enter Heluo.

Especially in the early stage, we must not cause extraordinary attention in Jinling because of the mobilization of the Tangyi army and the north.

And after Han Qian officially entered Heluo, the news must be promulgated to the counties of Xiliang Zhuzhou, and even if the Jinling side does not hesitate to meet each other with swords, it will take a while to mobilize soldiers and horses and recruit the army, which will also give Tangyi an extremely rare buffer.

And Tangyi must also attack Yongzhou before Jinling has a reaction, and complete a fuller military mobilization and assembly in advance, so that there will be more advantages at that time, and urge the people of Jinling to finally choose a peace plan acceptable to both sides.

"......" Qin Wen took a long breath, he didn't need Feng Yi to explain more, he also knew why the whole thing had to be more guarded against Jinling's reaction.

If this happens, Han Qian will no longer be a courtier of Chu, but will be the emperor of the new Liang State.

And even if Han Qian followed the example of Shu and claimed that the lord of the country was not busy claiming the title of emperor and was a vassal to the Great Chu, after Tangyi and Heluo merged and merged, he would in fact become a new Liang State independent of the Great Chu.

At that time, the southern border of the New Liang State will be separated from the Great Chu Imperial Capital, which will not only directly threaten the ruling core of the Great Chu, but even have an enclave located in the southwestern heart of the Great Chu Empire.

Not to mention Yang Zhitang, Shen Yang, Yang En, Zheng Yu, Yang Yuanyan and others, even if everything is biased towards Tangyi Changxin Palace at this time, once they realize that this possibility happens, they will inevitably stand up and do everything possible to oppose and obstruct, and may even hesitate to fight each other......

If Emperor Liang really dies soon, the only plan that can be accepted by the princes of the court is for the Liang generals to support Zhu Zhen as the new lord, and Zhu Zhen will exchange the necessary assistance for the vassals of Great Chu.

At present, it is the jurisdiction of Deng Jun and the two states, Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, Yang Yuanyan, Huang Hua and others are calculating in every possible way, how can they be willing to see Han Qian become the lord of the new Liang State?
