Han Wenhuan and Han Daochang secretly infiltrated Xuancheng, and passed the word through Fu Mo, who had served as a household Langzhong in the DPRK and was implicated in the destruction of the tomb three years ago and returned to Xuancheng to live in seclusion, and made an appointment to meet Gu Zhilong.

Gu Zhilong was undecided, and he was just thinking about shopping around.

Han Qian sent someone to see him, Gu Zhilong mainly disliked Han Qian's lack of deep foundation, recruiting slaves and maids to join the army and making enemies against the family, and at the same time, he didn't think that the Chishan Army formed by a group of rabble could become a climate.

Moreover, Han Qian sent Zhang Ping, Feng Yi, Feng Yi and others to Langxi City to ask for a meeting, and Gu Zhilong also suspected Han Qian of bad intentions, in addition to contact, the greater purpose was to make Anning Palace and the Chuzhou army suspicious of Xuanzhou.

Han Wenhuan and Han Daochang were able to come over from Yueyang, go to Xuancheng and then make a private appointment, although Gu Zhilong didn't feel that it was time for him to bet into the game, but he was no longer lazy.

In addition to Han Wenhuan and Han Daochang's connections and influence in Xuanzhou, which can be compared with Han Qian, what is more important is that Han Wenhuan and Han Daochang have traveled thousands of miles, and they are here on behalf of Yang Yuanpu, the king of the Three Princes.

If he doesn't even see each other at this time, doesn't talk about it, doesn't show a little courtesy, and does his best to pay tribute, if Yueyang gains power in the future, can he still sell it at a good price in Yueyang?

However, Gu Zhilong was still a suspicious person in the end, especially since the Chishan Army still had eight or nine hundred elite cavalry and more than two thousand foot soldiers stationed in Tingzi Mountain, twenty miles east of Langxi City, how could he guard against Han Qian's tricks to win him, so he brought more than 1,500 soldiers with him and escorted him back to Xuancheng.

After Gu Zhilong left, the second son Gu Zhao and Zhou Yuanhe, the magistrate of Langxi, were responsible for staying in Langxi.

Zhao Wuji and Feng Yi led the cavalry camp, passed through the Miaodian Ridge in the east of Langxi City, and went around to the Xuanlang Post Road in the south of Langxi City, when it was raining heavily, Gu Zhao and Zhou Yuanhe were unaware of Langxi City, and when the rain stopped and the wind stopped, the morning sun shrouded the earth, not only led Zhao Wuji and Feng Yi to lead three hundred fine horsemen to arrive at the pass in front of Honglinbu, Shi Ji also led more than 1,000 horses to bypass Langxi City, and advanced to Baima Chong, 20 miles south of Langxi City, to rest.

Gu Zhao and Zhou Yuanhe, the magistrate of Langxi, reported this matter, and they were in a daze, and summoned the generals in the city to discuss for a while, but they didn't know what the Chishan Army wanted to do.

When the alarm bell of the East City Gate Tower rang loudly, they hurriedly climbed the East City Gate Tower, and saw the dense stubble of people and horses from a distance, under the light of the morning light, crossed the mountain ridge from the direction of Tingzi Mountain, and marched towards Langxi City, and there were many tall siege equipment in the array, and the faces of the people suddenly turned pale.

"Turning the tiger away from the mountain?"

Zhou Yuanhe is more than fifty years old, as a son of the Zhou family in Ningguo County, Xuanzhou, when he served in the Shengzhou Jiedu Embassy in his early years, he was a scribe under Gu Zhijun, Gu Zhilong was transferred to Xuanzhou Assassin History, he was recommended by Gu Zhilong, and went to Xuanzhou to join the army, and he has been Gu Zhilong's descendant all these years.

After the Jinling Incident, Gu Zhijun immediately poisoned Zhong Jitang, the former magistrate of Langxi, and recommended Zhou Yuanhe to replace him, ensuring that Langxi, as the northern gateway of Xuanzhou, was always in his hands, so that he could wait for the price to be sold.

Zhou Yuanhe is also one of the people who know about Gu Zhilong's return to Xuancheng to see Han Wenhuan yesterday.

Seeing this scene in front of him, could he still understand what was going on?

His face was pale, and his hand holding down the battlement wall couldn't help but tremble slightly, he never thought that Han Wenhuan and Han Daochang sneaked into Xuancheng to meet Gu Zhilong, and it turned out to be the bait that Han Qian threw out to lure Gu Zhilong out of Langxi.

After the Chishan Army captured Shangjiabao and its troops extended to the northern area of Xuanzhou, Langxi City, as the northern gateway of Xuanzhou, recruited family soldiers, and the garrison soon increased significantly to 6,000 people.

However, among the 6,000 guards, the most elite was the 1,500 tooth army led by Gu Zhilong, that is, Gu Zhilong's pro-guard battalion expanded on the basis of the 300 soldiers.

After deducting the 1,500 elite members of the tooth army, the remaining 4,500 or so guards were all recruited on the basis of the original Langxi county soldiers, and were composed of the children of the family, the elite slaves and maids, and the county citizens.

In order to ensure the interests of the Xuanzhou families, the children of the family and the young and strong slaves and maids were recruited into the army, and Gu Zhilong also allowed the young and strong slaves and maids to be directly led by the children of the family, and merged into the banner of the Xuanzhou Assassin in the name of the clan soldiers and clan soldiers to accept the unified command.

Although there are still more than 4,500 people in the Langxi garrison, there are no 1,500 elite people in the tooth army led by Gu Zhilong, the difference is too great.

Whether it is the former Langxi County soldiers, the newly recruited children of the family, as well as the slaves and maids attached to the army, and the county citizens, although they are all strong and well-armed, and they have been trained diligently and fed enough in the past two or three months, there are not many veterans who have really seen blood on the battlefield.

Gu Zhilong is here, he can use the old soldiers to take the new soldiers to defend the four city walls, and then concentrate a part of the elite of the Ya Army to respond in the center, and he is not afraid that the Chishan Army will have the ability to storm Langxi City in a short period of time; And for a long time, in addition to the fact that they can transfer reinforcements from the hinterland of Xuanzhou, the Chishan army will be even more concerned about the threat from the Chuzhou army on the flanks.

In the current situation, the Chishan army is obviously going to take Langxi City in the shortest possible time at all costs, can their more than 4,000 soldiers defend until the reinforcements arrive?

"Quickly send a probe horse, go around to Xuanzhou from the west of Nanyi Lake, and report to the assassination history to know about it!" Zhou Yuanheqiang suppressed the panic in his heart and said to the second son, Gu Zhao, but he could feel that his voice trembled slightly......

…………

…………

Li Pude Yao Xishui sent people to report the news, at dawn and his young son Li Qi with more than 100 elite horsemen all the way to Tingzi Mountain, to descend to the general, the former Wuling County Wei Zhou as the Marquis of Yu, to the official slave and maid, Zhao Qi, who was later given to the Han family as a slave by the third prince Yang Yuanpu as the deputy capital of the Marquis of Yu, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the front general has advanced to a pass less than three miles away from the east gate tower of Langxi City to rectify the formation, depending on the situation is to establish a siege position there.

"Gu Zhilong went to Xuancheng to meet with Master Han, showing that he already has the will to join Yueyang, and your reckless sword use at this time will only completely anger Gu Zhilong and completely disrupt the situation that the western flank of the Chishan Army has finally stabilized," Li Pu was so anxious that his face was red, regardless of the presence of the left and right army generals, he shouted at Han Qian, "Don't say that you may not be able to capture Langxi City before the Chuzhou army moves south." Even if you capture Langxi City and Gu Zhilong leads the Xuanzhou troops to Chuzhou, can you resist the joint attack of the Xuanzhou soldiers and the Chuzhou army? ”

Gu Zhilong waited for the price to sell, he may not be able to vote for Yueyang, but he will never choose this time. Guangdezhai grain storage can be supported for ten days at most, and after ten days, Li Houye, you said that the Chishan Army should attack Huzhou or Xuanzhou, or which is easier to attack, and which one is more sure to attack and choose which one to attack first? Han Qian pursed his eyes slightly, looked at Li Pu calmly and asked.

"So, Master Han and Han Daochang traveled thousands of miles from Yueyang to come and surrender, and they were all things that you had planned for a long time?" Li Pu never thought that Han Qian would use his grandfather Han Wenhuan as bait, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and asked, "You are so ruthless, are you really not afraid of harming Boss Han's life?" ”

"It is a great honor for grandfather and second uncle to be loyal to His Royal Highness, don't worry about it!" Han Qian said.

"Where is Yue Yang's faith?" Lipp said.

"Your Highness and my courtiers want to talk about faithfulness to the Great Chu Sheji, and to the people of Great Chu, but for people like Gu Zhilong, who are at both ends of the head and serve the price, is there still a need to talk about faithfulness? Could it be that the Hou Ye followed the county prince to learn military affairs, and he didn't know the words 'soldiers are not tired of cheating'? Han Qian said.

"I, I, I ......" Li Pu felt that he was not vomited blood by Han Qian on the spot, he was already considered kind-hearted.

"The arrow is ready to be sent, Hou Ye is here to argue with me about these haves or not, it is better to keep an eye on the movements of the Huzhou soldiers carefully with the Qiuhu Army," Han Qian looked at Li Pu and said, "I led my troops to attack Langxi, and the Chuzhou Army in Liyang will definitely be dispatched, and as Hou Ye said, even if I capture Langxi, Gu Zhilong still has the opportunity to surrender to the king in anger, and I need to transfer the second elite of the Chishan Army to the Western Front as much as possible, and the pressure on the Qiuhu Army may be slightly greater at that time!" ”

Li Puqiang suppressed the urge to pat his head, he had already guessed that it would be no good for Han Qian to let Qiuhushan occupy Sitiandun, but he didn't expect Han Qian's idea to ask them to withstand the pressure of the Huzhou soldiers in front of them to ensure that there would be no leaks on the eastern front of the Chishan Army.

It's just that as Han Qian said, the Chishan Army has already arrived at Langxi City, like an arrow on the string, it is already a situation that has to be launched, what other choices can he and the Qiuhu Army have?

Even though Li Pu knew that the situation had changed, when he was leaving, he couldn't help but ask: "You, you, why didn't you lead the Chishan army to attack Huzhou?" ”

"Xuanzhou is easy to moo." Han Qian didn't want to talk too much nonsense to Li Pu, so he ended the topic in four words.

Han Qian said this, what else could Li Pu have to question? At that moment, he took his young son Li Qian and left in a hurry surrounded by more than 100 guards.

"If Gu Zhilong doesn't dare to kill the old lady, if the old lady is killed in Xuancheng, the infamy you will bear will be heavy." Xi Ying was wearing leather armor, riding a jujube red horse next to Han Qian, and said in a low voice.

"When my father went to see Wen Duqiao, he didn't know the situation in Jinling at that time, and he was not alone in his ability to turn the tide, but he still did not hesitate, and even prepared to be ruined - the Red Mountain Army is difficult step by step, and when it comes to this step, it is still impossible to get out of the quagmire, and a little step back is the abyss, where can I care so much?" Han Qian said.

In the eyes of many people, the situation was more favorable for the Chishan Army to advance eastward.

Even if Changxing, Anji, Nanxun and other fortified cities are difficult to attack, but Huhangxiuyue Prefecture, located on the south shore of Taihu Lake and on both sides of the Qiantang River, the terrain is flat, the soil is fertile, and the reproduction of people is also extremely dense.

However, the problem is that Huxiu Hangyue Prefectures are located in a rich area, and the people's lives are relatively stable, and after the Chishan Army marches eastward, because of the hatred of the clans in the prefectures, they cannot get the opportunity to peacefully redeem grain and grain, and every time they plunder, it will even arouse the common people to stand up against them.

At that time, the chaos around Jinling will not be alleviated in the slightest, and the situation in the entire two Zhejiang provinces will become more and more chaotic.

At that time, the situation will change rapidly, and both the east and the west will face more and more urgent threats, and Han Qian will have no time to stop and do something to resume production.

Han Qian's fundamental purpose in entering Jinling this time was to reduce the damage of the war to the ordinary people and reduce the destruction of the war on the Jianghuai region.

At this time, he led the Chishan Army to stop at Guangde, whether it was to reclaim the slopes, promote the merits and grant fields, and open schools, it was an urgent matter for the Chishan Army to build itself.

At the same time, this is also destined for a long time to come, the foundation of the Chishan Army is in Fuyu Mountain, in the old county of Guangde at the northern foot of Fuyu Mountain.

Gu Zhilong didn't make a choice at this time, and waited for the price to sell, but he would one day make a choice and bet all the chips in his hand on the chess game.

Could Han Qian still wait for Gu Zhilong to make a choice before considering the security of Guangde's western flank?

In contrast, the Huanghua of Huzhou Thorn Shi and the family forces further east and south could make a choice later because they were isolated from Jinling by the Chishan army.

In fact, Han Qian led the Chishan army to stop at Guangde, and he was already destined to defeat Langxi first.

It's just that few people believe that he will really protect those old and weak women and children at all costs, so they seem so shocked.
