Seeing Zhang Song and his second sons Li Zhi and Li Zhen retreat, Li Zhihe eased his face a little and asked Su Hongyu: "What do you have to tell me?" ”

"I didn't know they would act in such a hurry?" Su Hongyu said aggrievedly.

"I don't blame you for this matter - Han Qian asked the prince of Lihou, the Mugwu people were worried that Han Qian would send troops to Hehuai at any time, sow discord in the middle, and wanted to muddy the situation in Jianghuai, his father couldn't sit still, and he was coerced by the plan to make a change, if you didn't persuade them, they would give up and let go. If it were me, it would be difficult to make a choice in that situation, right? Li Zhihe sighed lightly, and felt that he was too strict with Su Hongyu, so he gently put his arm on her shoulder and asked, "On the way over, did you have any hidden piles from Guanjiang Tower to contact you?" ”

"After we passed through Shuzhou, there were local naval forces entangled and harassed all the way, and there was no contact with the land, but Mrs. and Zhou Yuan had a guess that the Mengwu envoy or Guan Jianglou might take the initiative to contact you, but I don't know why they couldn't help but ask directly." Su Hongyu said.

"This fiasco is that they fell into the trap of the Mughu, or Han Qian originally invited the prince of Lihou, and he had the intention of startling the snake, they wanted to ask, but it was difficult to talk about it, right? In addition, the Tangyi soldiers and horses intercepted you to go to Huaidong, and they should have warned you about things like not to collude with the Muguls, right? ”

"Well, Feng Yi boarded the ship to meet at that time, and Ye Feiying was leaving, but he didn't know that Han Qian was not there at the time, Feng Yi said something similar," Su Hongyu said, "How did you guess?" ”

"All of Han Qian's deployments are to send troops to Hehuai without worries, and he will never sit back and watch us collude with the Muguls at this time; And this time, the Tangyi soldiers and horses did not move west, and the same is true, but all this does not mean that they cannot change their plans. For Tangyi, even if it may be delayed for three or four months in terms of time, it can be said that it is an alternative to directly sending troops to Hehuai to capture Dengjun and Dengjun Prefectures first, and then sending troops from Wuguan Dao to Guanzhong. And as long as Zhu Yu can take Heluo and Tangyi and send troops to Guanzhong, the general trend of the world cannot be said to fall into the hands of the Mengwu people," Li Zhihe said, "Everyone thinks about this, even if Madam and Zhou Yuan are unwilling to hand over Pingjing, Wusheng and other passes at this time, and fully withdraw to Suiyang, they also know that they can't provoke Tangyi before the foundation is stable—the Mengwu people should know that it is useless to send someone to see me, but they have sent someone to see Zhoushu." However, I can only pretend that I don't know about it, and I can only hope that they will not bring it up publicly. ”

"By the way, Zhang Song escorted me, Zhi'er, and Ji'er to Jinghaimen before they passed through Sanhe Lane, and saw a pile of fire-starting things in the alley, and several beggars with hidden blades were killed in the corners of the alley. I mentioned this to my wife, who guessed that the dead were from the secret chamber of Tangyi and wanted to prevent us from leaving Jinling City, but Madame's words could not explain who killed these people. I think about these beggars who hide their blades, maybe the assassins of Guanjianglou wanted to secretly prevent us from leaving Jinling City, but they were killed by the secret room of Tangyi," Su Hongyu asked, "After all, those who do everything possible to stimulate you to throw yourself over or drag Tangyi back are still Mugyu, Madame, she said so, she still wants to keep this retreat, right?" ”

"If only you knew it in your heart." Li Zhihe said.

"Will the Mugultures reveal your life story with Xishui?" Su Hongyu asked again.

"They will, but the world is so complicated, what is the use of them spreading such news?" Li Zhihe said with a wry smile.

"Did Han Qian send someone over to meet you?" Su Hongyu asked.

"He has done so much, and he has to send someone to see me, and he also looks down on me; Besides, I don't have any ambition, and I won't be a dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy," Li Zhihe smiled proudly and said, "Presumably Han Qian also understands in his heart that if I really have the heart to collude with the Mughu, I won't be out of Jinling City." ”

"What are you going to do about the current situation?"

Li Zhihe stood in front of the oil lamp and said: "Tangyi does not attack Xiangbei, or it can be said that the Shu army will not act rashly, but as long as Zhang Ji and Zhao Zhen gather the Right Wu Xiang Army, the Right Wu Guard Army and the soldiers of Jiangxi and Hunan Prefectures, it will be difficult for Xiangying Deng to defend the four states, and we may only be able to barely defend the three states of Liang and Jinjun to watch the changes in the situation in Hehuai." Of course, they don't agree with my proposal, so I won't pick this burden, and if they want to pick it, they will pick it, and we will go to Liangzhou. ”

"Madame will agree to let us go to Liangzhou?" Su Hongyu asked worriedly.

"We must go to Liangzhou, it seems that no one can stop us yet, and there is no reason for Madame to stay in Xiangcheng," Li Zhihe said, "It's a headache at the moment, or Madame, they are not in a hurry to set up a new emperor......

"Now I may be able to dissuade everyone from rushing to join the Mugyu, but if I don't respect the Queen Mother and appoint the new emperor, I'm afraid it won't work on Madame's side, right?" Su Hongyu asked worriedly.

Now they are grasshoppers tied to a tree, and if they are torn apart internally, they may not be able to survive this autumn, and they will be exterminated by the imperial army.

"If you don't set up a new emperor, it's not that there are no workarounds. Or you can follow the example of Your Majesty when he took charge of Hunan Xingshangshu Province and set up Jingxiang Xingshangshu Province above the Xiangbei Prefectures, so that the 'second prince' can serve as the Xingshangshu Order, so as to exercise the military and political power of Xiangbei. In this way, the Queen Mother and the 'Second Prince' can continue to play the value of puppets in the hands of their wives, and they should be able to accept it, right? Li Zhihe said guessingly.

"Put Jingxiang Xingshangshu Province and make the second prince serve as the ...... of Xingshangshu Order"

The Han River was mighty and turbid, and on the boat heading to Xiangcheng, hearing Li Zhihe mention that there was a different policy than they expected, Lu Qingxia asked with hesitation and puzzlement.

"The palace change failed, we and Jinling have become fire and water, there is no possibility of easing, but the province of Shangshu is not in a hurry to set up a new emperor, and the current situation is really unfavorable to us, and we can only show weakness to the enemy. At this time, even if it will not discourage Jinling's determination to send troops to attack, it can delay the timing and strength of their troops, and win more opportunities to breathe," Li Zhihe said calmly, "Even if we don't need to send people to spread the news, Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang and others have probably already come back to their senses at this time - as long as it is delayed until the autumn, Tangyi's dispatch of troops to Hehuai is frustrated, Tangyi will definitely not want to see us die, and their teeth are cold; And Tangyi sent troops to Hehuai and won a complete victory, does Jinling still have the heart to invade Xiangbei in a big way? ”

Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, Chai Jian and others all fell into deep thought, but they couldn't say that Li Zhihe's words were unreasonable.

"Under the order of the Shangshu, what should I do?" Lu Qingxia asked

"The situation is so bad that Zhihe deeply feels that his ability is really limited, maybe he can only run the Liangjin Prefecture well and guard the retreat for everyone, and how to do it under the order of Shangshu is to listen to the orders of Mrs." Li Zhihe said lightly.

Li Zhihe said so, Chai Jian, Zhou Yuan, Zhong Yanhu, Yao Xishui, and Chun Thirteen Niang were all stunned, Li Zhihe was not satisfied with their noisy dominance, and he stacked his own picks, led his descendants to guard the two states of Liang and Jin, and threw Yingsui Deng Junxiang five states to them for disposal?

"You are the defense envoy of Xiangbei, and the generals of the three towns all listen to your orders, and Xiangcheng still needs you to preside over it." Lu Qingxia frowned and said.

"Madame, don't be strong enough to know what is difficult, knowing that he is incompetent, and he has the cultivation of his wife, and he has Chai Jian and Zhou Shu to govern the army, Chai Xun, Zhong Yanhu and others are also good generals, and political affairs, taxes, transfers, etc., there is Zhou Yuan to assist Mrs., and Zhihe is really clumsy - only in this way, Xiao Yiqing can't do anything about my life experience," Li Zhihe said resolutely, "The matter of the Jinling Palace change, the news will reach Shu in a few days, and Wang Yong, the lord of Shu, will have the name of recovering Liangzhou, Cao Gan, Cao Zhe's father and son may move at any time in Lizhou, and there is no one in Liangzhou, so we can't even keep a way out. I don't think I'll accompany my wife and the queen mother into Xiangcheng......"

Li Zhihe's attitude was so resolute that Yao Xishui was deeply surprised, and he wanted to persuade but couldn't persuade him.

July in Da Chu is not destined to be a calm month.

First of all, Jinling issued an edict to the new emperor and the empress dowager of the two palaces, reprimanding Lu Qingxia and other palace maids for colluding with foreign races to assassinate Emperor Yanyou, and the palace rebellion failed and robbed the empress dowager and the second prince to flee to Xiangcheng, and the subjects of Chuzhou County rose up to attack it.

And then the Empress Dowager Wang Chan'er painted Ding Scoop in Xiangcheng according to the gourd, and passed the edict Jianghuai to say that Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang assassinated Yanyou and plotted to change, and set up the second prince Yang Lin as the king of Xiangcheng in Xiangcheng, and placed Jing Xiangxing Shangshu Province, and the five-year-old Xiangwang Yang Lin also led the Shangshu order; Appointed envoy Lu Qingxia to be the secretary of Shangshu Province, Zuo Cheng, in charge of Shangshutai's edict and other matters, juxtaposed with the Xuan consolation envoy, Chai Jian led it, and was in charge of Jingxiang's military and political defense; set up the transfer envoy, Zhou Yuan led it, and governed the transfer of grain taxes in Jingxiang Prefecture; According to the procurator, Chen De led it, and was in charge of the supervision of the criminal name.

The Empress Dowager's edict in Xiangcheng was also specially copied to the camp on the south bank of Tangyi in Jiaoshan Gorge, and the so-called "Empress Dowager's edict" in the eyes of everyone in Tangyi was only used to confirm the correctness of the intelligence collected by the Military Intelligence Staff from the Xiangbei scouts.

"Li Zhihe threw the picker to Lu Qingxia and Chai Jian, and hid in the cultivated land in Liangzhou by himself?"

In the tent of the Chinese army in the camp on the south bank, Feng Yi held the edict of the Queen Mother issued by someone from Xiangcheng, and asked with a hint of uncertainty.

"It's not surprising," Han Qian sat cross-legged behind the main case casually, touched the stubble that hadn't been shaved for two days, and said, "Li Zhihe stayed in Xiangcheng, he was able to preside over the military and political affairs of Xiangcheng, but he was restrained by Lu Qingxia everywhere, and he was not happy, and he may not be able to control Chai Jian and Zhou Shu well, it was better to throw the pick to Lu Qingxia, and he would run Liangzhou - until Lu Qingxia, Chai Jian, Zhou Shu, and Zhou Yuan couldn't hold Yingsui Deng Xiang and others, and had to retreat to Liangzhou in a hurry, he could completely suppress Lu Qingxia, Chai Jian, Zhou Shu and Zhou Yuan's voices told all the soldiers and horses to be reorganized according to his will. ”

"In the end, Li Zhihe is still subject to Lu Qingxia, otherwise it would be really troublesome." Feng Yi said with emotion.
