The west of Longyang County, Langzhou, is where the estuary of Yuanshui enters Dongting Lake, and the fleet entered Yuanshui from the estuary of the west of Longyang County yesterday night, slowing down the speed of the boat and sailing at night.

At this time, the surrounding mountains and fertile fields have been covered with snow, and the winding Yuanshui River is slowly turbulent between heaven and earth.

In the early morning, the faint mist came out and spread to the snowy fields, and under the white snow covered by Wuling City, it was shrouded in lightness, like a fairyland.

On the deck, Gao Shao and Tian Cheng, who were standing behind Han Qian, were nervously staring at the Shuiying station on the west side of Wuling City.

The Tanzhou Water Battalion has 3,000 elites and dozens of warships stationed there, and is the main combat force of the core generals of the Ma clan, Sima of Langzhou, and Ma Rong of Wuling Zhixian County to control this fertile land in the lower reaches of Yuanshui.

Last night, Han Qian concentrated his main forces on three sailing ships.

At this time, the three sailing ships were at the front end of the entire cone-shaped ship formation, and once Tanzhou dispatched the combat strength of the Wuling Water Battalion and showed signs of intercepting them in the main channel of Yuanshui, they could only use these three sailing ships as the main force to tear the blockade.

What happened to the Feng family should have made Tanzhou give up their illusions about Jinling, but it doesn't mean that Tanzhou will definitely let them go to Xuzhou.

Therefore, before they really enter the territory of Chenzhou, there are still huge variables in everything.

When I arrived in Chenzhou, things were easier.

Even if there are thousands of soldiers and horses in the Chenzhou state camp, like Xuzhou, the Chenzhou state camp is mainly controlled by the native surnames, and they have no intention of being loyal to the imperial court.

Even if the Chenzhou state battalion tried to intercept the convoy, they were confident that they would repel it, after all, the Chenzhou native surname did not have a few decent warships in their hands, and the state battalion was mainly made up of foot soldiers.

Gao Shao and Tian Cheng were also worried that the generals behind them would be suspicious, and once the army was unstable and even mutinied, it would be difficult for them to reach Xuzhou smoothly without Tanzhou's action.

"Han Daoxun, Han Qian's father and son are ambitious, and it is not a blessing for Tanzhou to be neighbors!"

Although after the Jingxiang War, Wen Ruilin once strongly advocated attracting Han Qian to join Tanzhou, and even rushed to Guishan to meet Han Qian on behalf of his son Ma Xun, but at this time, he was beyond everyone's expectations, and stood up and tried to persuade Ma Rong to send troops to seize the fleet that was slowly approaching Wuling City.

Chizhou, Jiangzhou, Ezhou, Huangzhou and other prefectures and counties are not under each other's control, even if they see that the fleet of the Xuzhou Boat Gang is crowded with people and their movements are suspicious, and they hesitate to send military ships to intercept and search, the fleet has already traveled far away.

However, the Tanzhou Jiedu envoy has jurisdiction over the three prefectures of Yue, Lang and Tan, and the spies and tanma are all over the corners of the 800-mile Dongting Lake.

Even if the Yuezhou side did not have time to directly send military ships to intercept and search, and even if there was no clear news from the Jinling side for the time being, through the fishing boats and merchant ships distributed on the Dongting Lake, Tanzhou's eyeline had already touched the situation of the transit fleet this time.

Linked to the fact that the Feng clan moved to Xuzhou in two batches more than half a month ago, Wen Ruilin and Sima Marong of Langzhou and others can basically determine that Han Daoxun, Han Qian's father and son have the ambition to stand on their own in Xuzhou, and even Han Qian himself is very likely to be in the fleet.

The time was too short, and it was too late to send someone to Tanzhou to find the Jiedu envoy or the prince for instructions, whether to detain the fleet, and make way for the passage, and acquiesce to the fleet's passage to Xuzhou again, Ma Rong had to make a decision at this time.

When the Feng clan first crossed Dongting Lake by boat, Wen Ruilin advocated the detention of the Feng clansmen.

At that time, the Feng clan passed through Dongting Lake in two batches, the first batch was a fast sailing boat, and there was no time to communicate within Tanzhou, but the second batch of ordinary sailing ships sailed half as slowly, and the time to enter the jurisdiction of Tanzhou was a few days later, and it was completely too late to be seized.

In the end, it was the Tanzhou Jiedu that made Ma Yin make the decision, allowing the two fleets loaded with the Feng clan to pass through safely.

After all, they really had no reason to intercept the Feng clansmen, and they were even worried that this was a trap dug for them by Jinling, once they detained the Feng clansmen for no reason, Jinling would use this as an excuse to send troops to Tanzhou.

After that, Wen Ruilin stayed in Wuling, but he didn't expect that the second batch of Feng clansmen's fleet had only passed for half a month, and he might have just arrived in Xuzhou at this time, and the fast sailing boats of the Xuzhou Boat Gang carried more than 1,000 people through the road.

Although the fleet entered through Yuezhou and then crossed Dongting Lake for two days, Han Qian himself did not show up to be seen by Tanzhou's eyes, but among the more than 1,000 people carried by the Xuzhou Boat Gang this time, it is obvious that many of them are Han Qian's descendants in Jinling.

This most likely means that this is the last time that the Xuzhou Boat Gang will pass through the territory of Tanzhou, and then the father and son of the Han family will hide behind Tanzhou and form their own family.

Unable to ask Tanzhou for instructions in time, there are people in Langzhou who advocate the seizure of the fleet, just like Wen Ruilin, but more people advocate continuing to turn a blind eye and let the fleet pass.

First of all, in the past year, Tanzhou has built two strong villages in the north of Qianyang City, and there are 1,200 elite combat forces available in the hinterland of Xuzhou.

This is already quite a considerable combat power in the sparsely populated Xuzhou.

In addition, even if Han Daoxun and his son have the ambition to run Xuzhou, it is actually difficult to organize more than 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers, and I believe that the four surnamed clans will be even more wary of the Han family father and son in the future.

This means that unless they get the support of Tanzhou, otherwise, it will be difficult for the Han family father and son to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou.

In the past, Tanzhou naturally hoped to swallow the entire Chenxu Shaoheng Prefectures and make them the deep hinterland of Tanzhou, but the prince Ma Xun led his troops at the northern foot of Dahong Mountain and was tragically ravaged by the Liang army's iron cavalry, which greatly damaged the confidence of Tanzhou.

Regarding the ambitions of the Chenxu Prefectures, most people on the side of Tanzhou have also changed from complete annexation to co-optation and union.

Wen Ruilin stood up at this time and advocated the seizure of the fleet, which seemed a little unusual.

"The third general is not a person who hesitates, do you really want to sit and watch the Han family's fleet pass?" Wen Ruilin stared at Ma Rong and asked.

"If Jinling makes Tanzhou attack the father and son of the Han family, Tanzhou will be able to annex Chen and Xuzhou, and with this as a calculation, we can't detain the fleet at this time; We only need to tell the soldiers and horses who have infiltrated Tanzhou to be on guard, and the initiative will always be in our Tanzhou. "One of Ma Rong's generals has long seen that Wen Ruilin is not pleasing to the eye, and at this time, it is strongly recommended to let the fleet pass first.

"If Jinling wants to borrow the road from Tanzhou to attack Xuzhou, how should Zhou Shen respond?" Wen Ruilin stared at the general with sharp eyes.

"Mr. Wen wants to say that Jinling wants to make a false plan against Tanzhou?" The general glanced at Wen Ruilin with disdain and said, "If Jinling wants to use such a naïve plan against Tanzhou, isn't this a good opportunity for Tanzhou to make a plan?" ”

Wen Ruilin was already out of words, and said to Ma Rong: "Han Qian should be hidden in the fleet, and the three generals may send someone to invite Han Qian ashore for a while, delay him for a few days, and wait for the Jiedu Embassy to make a final decision......"

The two oarboats sailed over from the river port, and no matter that the messenger in the blue official uniform stood on the deck and jumped and invited Han Qian to come ashore to talk to Sima Marong and others in Langzhou, the fleet had no intention of lowering the sails and slowing down, and passed at full speed from the middle of the river.

Several crossbow arrows "swished" into the river in front of the two oars, warning them that if they got any closer, they would mercilessly shoot the fleet on the spot.

Han Qian looked at Wuling City on the north bank of Yuanshui, which was only three or four miles away, and he could even see the surprised and dignified expressions of Ma Rong, Wen Ruilin and others standing at the head of the city with a look of surprise and solemnity, and ordered Gao Shao behind him, saying: "You let people shout, saying that after I arrive in Xuzhou, I will send someone to invite General Ma Rong to Qianyang City to talk about the old feelings." ”

"You're afraid that the meat buns will beat the dog, and you won't be able to get out when you enter Wuling City, and Ma Rong won't necessarily be stupider than you?" Zhao Ting'er muttered quietly behind him.

The boat passed through Wuling County, and then went southwest, both sides of the river are lofty mountains, and the river surface in the deep gorge has become much narrower.

Although the wind was blocked by the high and dangerous mountains, fortunately, in the cold season, the flow of the water was slow, so that even if the fleet could not hire a slender man, it was still able to continue to move at a speed of 1,200 miles a day, and finally reached the river beach outside Qianyang City on October 12.

It's just that outside Qianyang City at this time, it is very different from what Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Lin Haizheng and others imagined.

At this time, the city gate of Qianyang City was closed, and the tower of the city gate was lined with soldiers, looking like a great enemy pressing the border.

In addition to the first batch of people who settled in the newly built Yangtan Water Village in Wufeng Mountain, more people arrived in Xuzhou half a month ago, and at this time they were all stranded on the river beach near the wharf, a mess.

Including the Feng clan, it is forbidden to enter the city, Feng Yu has wanted to send people into the city to find Han Daoxun many times, but he can't even enter the city gate, let alone meet Han Daoxun.

At this time, the situation is like the small city of Qianyang, besieged by thousands of refugees in exile in Xuzhou.

"My lord, my lord closed the city gates, this is to refuse us to enter the city?" Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, and Lin Haizheng looked at each other, but they didn't expect to encounter such a scene when they arrived in Qianyang, Xuzhou.

What are they going to do, is it possible to force the siege?

Thinking of this, Tiancheng and their scalps are going to explode!

"Han Qian, what does Lord Han mean by closing Qianyang City and keeping us out of the city?"

Although Han Qian absconded directly to Xuzhou so early, Feng Yi was very surprised, but thousands of people were stranded on the river beach for half a month, and the people in the chaotic camp were flustered and restless.

Feng Yi couldn't figure out what the situation was in front of him, and he couldn't figure out why Han Daoxun would close the city gate and refuse them to enter.

Han Qian looked at the Qianyang City Gatehouse three miles away, he sighed slightly in his heart, walked back to the cabin and untied the robe on his body, bare-chested and bare-chested, and put a few thick and soft wattles on his back, lifted the curtain, let the cold wind blow, and shivered with cold, and asked Lin Haizheng to tie his hands behind him.

"The adults go to see the boss and explain it clearly, there is no need to suffer this, right?" Lin Haizheng asked suspiciously.

Han Qian wanted to go directly to the city and have a secret conversation with his father, but he was even more afraid that he would kill his relatives without waiting for him to enter the city, and directly ordered him to be shot.

If this is the case, who will he go to before he dies to cry out for injustice?

Han Qian thought about it, tied himself up and ran to the city to ask for guilt, it would be safer.
