Zhang Ping, Lin Haizheng, Feng Xuan, Feng Yi didn't even bring guards, only under the escort of more than a dozen boatmen and sailors, it took only three days to take a medium-sized fast sailing boat, and they broke through the blockade of the water camps in Jiangzhou and Chizhou day and night, abandoned the ship near the quarrying and landed ashore, and then spent a day and two nights from the quarrying directly from the north of Xuanzhou on foot to Maoshan.

From Yueyang to quarrying, the Yangtze River waterway is more than 1,500 miles long, even after entering the summer, the river is swollen, the water is vast, and it can be completed in three days and three nights, which can also be said to have created a new record in the world.

You must know that in the early years, the old style sailing ships did not dare to sail at night, and this waterway was fast for half a month, and it usually took about six days to use the new fast sailing ships to carry goods from Yueyang downstream to quarry.

Zhang Ping: They were able to break through the blockade, in addition to the fact that a medium-sized fast sailing ship had a small target and did not attract much attention, speed was also an extremely important factor.

Although the oars can reach a speed of more than 30 miles in half an hour, it is faster than the fast sailing ships, but it is difficult to maintain how long the time is, and the more important thing is that the soldiers and horses of the two battalions in Jiangchi saw one or two fast sailing boats rushing straight over, and it is not necessary to adjust the rowing boats to use their milk strength to chase after them, let alone not necessarily be able to catch up.

Knowing that Yueyang was coming, Li Pu and Li Xiu also rushed to the Beilu Manor from the slope to the west of Xiaomao Peak as soon as possible.

Seeing that the Xingshangshu Provincial Party Committee ordered Han Qian to serve as the envoy for recruitment, and used the remnants of the Taowu army to recruit troops to serve as the commander of the capital and the head of the camp, Xinchang Marquis Li Pu was full of bitterness in his heart.

Li Pu could think that at the same time that Han Qian infiltrated Jinling to seize his military power, Feng Yi, Lin Haizheng and others saw Yang Yuanpu in Tanzhou in Yueyang to break this matter, and the time should be excellent.

Regardless of how Yang Yuanpu and the people of Yueyang thought of this matter in their hearts and how they viewed Han Qian's unauthorized seizure of military power, at least on the surface, Han Qian's position as the plenipotentiary representative of Yueyang Xingtai in Jinling was determined.

Zhang Ping and Feng Yi brought Xingtai's latest letter to him was to ask him to return to Yueyang for another appointment, although he could send someone to Yueyang to say that he would continue to stay in Jinling, but Han Qian's name was formalized, and he had to accept Han Qian's moderation if he stayed.

Even in name, is he really willing to be restrained by Han Qian, and is he willing to Xinchang Houfu, who once stretched out a small hand and foot to pinch the little character who could be pinched to death, officially rode to his neck to and pee?

However, could he just flee back to Yueyang without staying?

In that case, in addition to his difficult face, Li Xiu and Li Qian stayed in the three hundred elite palace guards of the Sujun Wangfu and stayed in Jinling, not only could he not exert influence, but how could he know if Han Qian would have any evil intentions?

Han Qian didn't have the heart to care about Li Pu's inner struggle, thinking that Zhang Ping, Lin Haizheng, Feng Xuan, Feng Yi and others would come over, at least before the Chuzhou army had any changes, Zhang Ping and Lin Haizheng would share military affairs, and he would be able to make up for it more or less, and then he asked about the changes in the situation in Yueyang, Jingzhou and even Dongchuan since he left Xuzhou for more than half a month.

"The Yang family took the lead in sending troops, and unexpectedly captured the two stockades of the Wuyuan people in the northeast of Sizhou and the Qianjiang River, although there is no news from Yuzhou, I believe that in the past few days, we should also take action against the Wuyuan people who have lived on both sides of the Qianjiang River for two or three hundred years," Lin Haizheng said, "When we left Yueyang, Li Zhihe had already led Hu Wei to Yueyang to report on his work, and Zhou Tong and Hao Zixia also led their troops to board the ship in Hengzhou. It has been almost ten days since Lord Chai went to Jiufeng City to take charge of the southern defense line, and General Zhou Yan has been reappointed as the ...... of Hengzhou Assassin History."

Li Pu was present, and Lin Haizheng also addressed Chai Jian quite politely.

Zhou Yi, as a general from a cottage, was transferred to Hengzhou to serve as a thorn in history, in addition to more than a hundred parts around him, there is no foundation in the local area, it can only be a thorn history, and Li Zhihe and Zhou Tong and Hao Zixia were both transferred to Ezhou, and the soldiers and horses left in Jiufengling, Lion Ridge, Wuzhiling and Shaozhou, Chai Jian can easily control them.

With the temperament of the Marquis of Xinchang and the late Red Mansion, before the chaos in Jinling is clear, they will not dare to act easily against the rebels who have withdrawn from Yongzhou, and most of them will focus on operating Hengzhou and Shaozhou, as long as Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia do not make any changes to the rebels, he will not have to worry about what leaks will happen over there in a short time.

Han Qian looked at Li Pu's uncertain appearance, thinking that he probably still wanted to stay, and said: "I am a small soldier in Maoshan and a few generals, if Hou Ye Li can stay with General Li Xiao to help, 50,000 women and children may be able to have more life - if Hou Ye Li is willing, I will write to Yueyang, and ask His Royal Highness and all the ministers to be comforted and ......contacted by Hou Ye Li."

In the face of Han Qian's retention, Li Pu was naturally shocked and suspicious, but he thought that he and Li Xiu led more than 400 elite cavalry to be stationed at the slope post on the west side of Xiaomao Peak, advancing and retreating, and he was not afraid that Han Qian's evil mind would harm him, so he pushed the boat down the river and said: "If I can't bring 50,000 women and children back to Yueyang, I will feel uneasy, so I will write a letter and send it to His Highness, asking to stay or do my part." ”

Speaking of which, seeing that Han Qian was going to introduce the current situation in Jinling to Zhang Ping and the others, Li Pu did not want to see Han Qian Xuanxuan's exploits in the surprise attack on Danyang, let alone Zhang Ping, after knowing Han Qian's deployment in Maoshan beforehand, regretted that they did not dare to defend Qiuhu Mountain before, so he stopped rubbing anything at the moment, and returned to Xiaomaofeng in the west with Li Xiu first.

Seeing Li Pu and the children of the Li family leave first, Yuan Guowei couldn't help but ask Han Qian suspiciously: "Why don't you let Marquis Li go back to Yueyang?" ”

Yuan Guowei knew very well in his heart that Li Pu stayed only to see Han Qian's embarrassment, and even he was worried that Li Pu might stab them in the back if he had the opportunity to avenge the hatred of the soldiers, and at this time he was very puzzled why Han Qian wanted to keep Li Pu just now.

Han Qian shrugged, although Zhang Ping was quite pragmatic, even more shrewd and capable than Li Pu and others, but after all, he was the old man of the Shenling Division, and it was inconvenient to say some things too ruthlessly.

In his opinion, rather than letting Li Pu go back to Yueyang, he would rather keep Li Pu under his eyes and nose to stare at it.

Besides, if Li Pu stays, Chai Jian will not make too big a small move against Xuzhou in Shaozhou.

In addition to the widening of the post road in Xuefeng Mountain, the sale of goods such as cloth and iron, and the smooth progress of Hunan Zhuzhou, the second and third batches of Han Qian also dared to rest assured that more elites were transferred from Xuzhou, especially the military attachés who had been trained for many years and were born as children of Zuo Si came to Jinling.

There are certain risks associated with Lip by his side, but it is also important to see the benefits.

Han Qian diverted the topic and talked about the various events that had happened in the five days since he seized military power from Li Pu, and at this time he also told Zhang Ping, Feng Xuan, Lin Haizheng, and Feng Yi that he had deduced that the Chuzhou army might choose to besiege Jinling.

"The Chuzhou army intends to besiege the city? This may be Wang Wenqian's style, when did Lord Han speculate that the Chuzhou army might choose such a poisonous strategy? Zhang Ping was shocked for a moment before muttering to himself.

Han Qian said in a dull tone: "After His Royal Highness formed the Wuya Army Naval Division, he decided to transfer Li Zhihe to defend Ezhou, so I think that the Chuzhou Army may try to avoid a hasty decisive battle with the elite of the Shouzhou Army......"

Zhang Ping sighed with emotion, Yueyang transferred Li Zhihe to guard Ezhou, in addition to the shocking victory of the Chuzhou army Jingshan Nunnery, the Zheng family, the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and the concubine, and even His Royal Highness himself had their own calculations, but in the eyes of everyone in Chuzhou, it was more like Yueyang was waiting for the Chuzhou army and the Shouzhou army to fight and lose both, so as to raise an army along the east of the river to seize the benefits of the fisherman.

Great Chu fell apart, but many forces were entangled with each other, and what either side had to face and think about was far more than the reaction of the enemy army in front of them.

Next, Han Qian talked about some of the current situations facing Maoshan.

In addition to the army general Qin Ran led the remnants to re-enter Danyang City, which was burned by a fire, in addition to placing a lot of scouts and horses to monitor the northern foot of Maoshan Mountain, the Chuzhou army has been silent for a day and a night, and there is no new movement.

This may give them a few more days of respite.

Of course, although Zhang Ping and the others went to Maoshan to meet Han Qian, what to do next, they were all in the dark, and they all looked at Han Qian with blank eyes, and they could point out a clearer direction.

Han Qian rubbed his hands and said: "I've been really tired these days, and now His Highness has appointed me as the envoy and the head of the camp, the key is that you come over and can share the military affairs for me......

The women's battalion and the juvenile battalion could not be counted into the official establishment, and only 3,000 soldiers and horses could only be organized into a capital of soldiers and horses, so Han Qian made Lin Haizheng the general (Duyu Marquis), and Zhao Wuji was the deputy general and commander of the first battalion; Yuan Guowei is nearly sixty years old, his muscles are old, he has served as an official in the Inner Government Bureau over the years, and he is also more qualified for the duties of counselor, military affairs, and chief sentinel, and gave up the post of commander of the second battalion to Feng Xuan; The commander of the third battalion was still Dou Rong, who had made outstanding achievements since guarding Xichuan.

Kong Xirong needed to recuperate from his injuries, and he continued to be in charge of the women's camp and the juvenile camp with Wei Chang.

Zhang Ping also came over this time with a piece of news that Han Qian was looking forward to, that is, the Dragon Bird Army garrisons in Tanzhou, Yueyang, Shaozhou and other places, and before they set out, a total of nearly 150 elite veterans of the Dragon Bird Army who were born in Taowu gathered troops fled from the camp and fled to Jinling without permission.

There are currently more than 5,000 people who are included in the Dragon Bird Army, and these nearly 150 smugglers are actually the same as Xiao Dahu, Shi Ji, Dou Rong, and Wei Chang.

Han Qian and the others marched eastward by boat, and the speed was extremely fast, and those who escaped, except for Xiao Dahu and Dou Rong, who had the opportunity to steal horses and escape back as military attachés, and were brave and strong, most of them might have to spend three or five days or ten or eight days before they could sneak back to Jinling one after another.

Yue Yang also made it clear that as long as these people were willing to be used by Han Qian and incorporated into the new army, they would be directly exempted from the crime of smuggling.

These are expected to bring Han Qian a group of extremely precious and loyal and useful grassroots military attachés to his family.

Of course, this requires Han Qian to do his best to protect nearly 50,000 women and children.

After that, Zhang Ping said again: "Lord Han, as a solicitor, has the right to rebel against Jingnan, but the Jingnan Army has never been an official banner. We set off from Yueyang too hastily, and His Royal Highness issued an order letter only to allow Lord Han to compile the remnants of Taowu into an army, but the establishment flag has not yet been decided, and it is still up to Lord Han to decide. ”

"Taowu gathered troops to gather on the shore of Chishan Lake, so let's take the Chishan Army as the number...... Han Qian said.

Since the late period of the previous dynasty, there have been many feudal towns, and there are many banners and names of military towns, Han Qian is extremely tired at this time, but he doesn't have the energy to think of a different and powerful banner, so let's make do with the banner of the Chishan Army first.
