During the conversation, before I knew it, the sky was quite dark, the maid lit the lamps and candles, and everyone sat in the Ming Ju Hall, and they did not feel tired.

"At present, Yang Yuanyan may be more thinking about using troops, but Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, Zhang Chao, Huang Hua and others are silent, obviously they have no confidence in victory, we can secretly spread the news that the Heluo battle situation is unfavorable to Daliang and the casualties are heavy, so that Jinling may be more looking forward to recovering Huaixi without a fight - when Lord Feng meets with Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang and others, the tone may as well be looser, and he can even ask Chu Ting to send troops to capture Xu Si and exchange Huaixi and Xuzhou with Daliang. With such a reason, the Empress Dowager Changxin also has more room for mediation, so that she will not be led by Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang and others in everything! Wen Ruilin said.

The Empress Dowager Changxin kept Cai Chen and Lei Cheng by her side, secretly expressing an attitude, but the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces and even the scholar Li Min were all aggressive and wanted to take back Huaixi, if she publicly stood up and said that she would give up Huaixi, it would inevitably provoke the discussion of abolishing the legislature, making her completely passive.

And although Zheng Yu and Zheng Chang also choose to stand on the same front with Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang at present, the main reason is that the whole thing has shocked Chu Ting too much, and in fact, the Zheng family is more deeply involved with them.

It is expected that after the delay until April and May, the weather in Lingnan will become completely hot and humid, and enter the period of high incidence of miasma, Zheng Hui and the Right Dragon Bird Army, who are currently besieging the city in Lingnan, will be able to more clearly realize that dispelling miasma wine is an indispensable good thing.

From thrift to luxury, from luxury to simplicity.

If the Right Dragon Bird Army had just entered Lingnan, the miasma would have been in a relatively high incidence stage, and after more than two years of brutal warfare, the replenishment of troops in the rear could keep up in time, and the strengthening of control in all aspects would not have caused too serious problems.

After entering Lingnan, during the most critical last few battles, the plague rate in the barracks rose sharply from a very low level in a short period of time, and the problem would obviously become much more serious.

In addition, Wen Ruilin advocated secretly promoting the ambition of Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters, to abolish the establishment and eventually replace him, prompting Huang Hua and others to be wary of Yang Yuanyan; In Jinling, he also secretly preached the righteousness of the first emperor Zhu Yu's throne, preached the brutality and strength of the Mengwu people, and divided the hearts of the military and people in Jinling......

Under the current circumstances, Wen Ruilin does not feel that there are any substantial and insurmountable difficulties in completing the goal of delaying time.

In the final analysis, everyone in Chu Ting has their own interests, and it is too easy to be divided.

Of course, it does not mean that the generals of the New Liang State do not have their own interests and demands, but under the strong leadership of Han Qian, the interests of the generals of the New Liang State are better concentrated in one direction.

And even if the generals of the old Liang army still miss the former emperor, in addition to the former emperor's last wish to entrust the Liang State to Han Qian, there is another key reason, Han Qian's wrist and mind also made the old Liang army generals have to be convinced, which makes some unnecessary dissent or distractions suppressed.

Of course, all this still has to be guarded by Heluo first.

Only by holding Heluo can the two armies be completely integrated, and Han Qian can completely replace the position of the first emperor Zhu Yu in the eyes of the generals of the old Liang army.

If Heluo can't be defended, in addition to the external offensive and defensive situation of the new Liang State will become extremely bad, it is really difficult to say whether the thoughts of the generals of the old Liang army will become hesitant.

The bright moon shone in the courtyard, as if the clear lake water was spread on the steps in front of the eaves of Changxin Palace.

Feng Yi and Wen Ruilin entered Jinling City, although Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang still advocated cold treatment for the time being, no one could deny that this was a big event for today's Jinling City.

Qingyang stood in front of the court, looked at the moon above the night dome as cold as water, turned his head and asked Lei Cheng and Cai Chen on his side: "Did Han Qian really fight so badly in Luoyang?" ”

"Without the permission of the Queen Mother, neither the old slave nor Lord Cai are allowed to contact Liang in private, how do you know what the Heluo war will be?" Lei Cheng said slowly.

"Are you really that honest?" Qingyang frowned, glanced at Lei Cheng and Cai Chen behind him, and asked.

In the early years, the Cai family was one of the few and leading Qingliushi clans in Huainan, and Cai Chen's great-grandfather served as the head of the household department and the governor of the government in the previous dynasty.

For this reason, after Emperor Tianyou was appointed as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, in order to gain the support of the Shounan clan, he made his sister marry Cai Chen.

After the founding of the Great Chu, Emperor Tianyou suppressed the clan lords of the family, and the Xu family in order to eliminate the disobedient dissident forces in Huaixi, which eventually led to a nonsensical case in Huaixi where only an insignificant member of the Cai clan was involved, which evolved into a major case in which more than 10 members of the Cai family were beheaded and more than 200 people were exiled to the army.

In the end, only Cai Chen, as the eldest princess's son-in-law, was spared.

At that time, he was over sixty years old, his face was even older than Lei Cheng, his face was thin, he was bent down, and he replied to Qingyang's words:

"I have no personal contact with Lei Gong with the people sent by the lord of the country, but the battle in Heluo should not be as dangerous as the outside world has rumored. And the reason why such news is spread is that it should be slackened in the vigilance of the DPRK and China, so that some generals and ministers in the DPRK and China think that they can win Huaixi without a fight......"

"I'll just say, if Han Qian is so useless, what am I going to do with the two of you?" Qingyang glanced at Cai Chen and Lei Cheng coldly, and said, "Since you are so honest, the mourning family will issue an edict tomorrow, and Cai Chen, you will go to see Feng Yi, Shen Yang's old horsemen, shouldn't they stop them at will, right?" ”

"Shen Xiang and Shou Wangye should also be eager to know the truth of Heluo, but the Queen Mother simply went to see Feng Yi and Han Daoming with Weichen, which is too traced...... Cai Chen said.

"I will go over with Yang En, the mourning family is to use the people in the clan, and no one will make any unpleasant trouble." Qingyang said.

Lei Cheng also wanted to say that Yang En's eyes were too poisonous, and it would be too inconvenient for him and Cai Chen to go to see Feng Yi and Han Daoming, but he thought in his heart that the fundamental purpose of the Empress Dowager Changxin was to keep the throne of her son Yang Bin, not to let the Huang family or King Xin succeed, and he was not willing to become the puppet of Daliang, he and Cai Chen also had to take a good measure.

"Weichen went to see Han Daoming and Feng Yi with Marquis Yang, what does the Queen Mother want Weichen to say?" Cai Chen asked.

"What does Han Qian want from the mourning family?" Qingyang stared at Cai Chen and Lei Cheng and asked, "Han Qian is the Lord of Liang at this time, but Huaixi is always the territory of Great Chu, can't he hand over Huaixi?" ”

"The lord of the country took the expulsion of Hu Lu and the recovery of Hehuai as his own responsibility, so he had to be entrusted by the first emperor to the country, and at this time, Mengwu and Dongliang were strong, and Huaixi and Heluo could not be guarded if they were not connected to Huaixi," Cai Chen said, "Only Huaixi and Heluo are united, whether it is King Xin, or Huanghua, their ambitions will be suppressed and will not threaten the Queen Mother......"

"Speaking of which, it's not that Han Qian doesn't want to spit out Huaixi?" Qingyang asked lazily.

"The lord of the country guards Huaixi, Heluo, plus Xuzhou, whose territory is only thirteen prefectures and more than ninety counties, and the Dingkou is less than four million; And even if Great Chu loses Huaixi, it still has Jiangdong, Jiangxi, Jingxiang, Hunan, Huaidong, and Zheng Hui's Qingyuan army of 60 states and 167 million people, and the national strength is far above Liang Shu," Cai Chen said, "However, the biggest problem of Great Chu is not outside, but inside. Your Majesty is not more important, and the Queen Mother is deeply forbidden in the palace, so it is inconvenient to meddle in too many national affairs, not to mention that King Xin and others have a heart of disobedience outside, and the princes and ministers in the court also have their own thoughts, so that although the national strength of Great Chu is strong, it is difficult to twist it into a force, not to mention that the national affairs of Chu Ting are all out of His Majesty's hands. If the Queen Mother wants to change this situation, she can only hope that Her Majesty will grow up and become an adult, so that the princes and ministers will no longer have different thoughts and different intentions. ”

"You say it so well, the mourners won't believe it. Over the years, none of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers were Han Qian's opponents," Qingyang sighed, "The first emperor is not, Shen Yang, Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Zhang Chao are not, and Yang Yuanyan, Huang Hua, and Gu Zhilong are not Han Qian's defeated generals?" ”

"The Queen Mother's brother Chen Bing Yuzhou, is it possible that the Queen Mother is still worried that the Lord of Shu also has the intention of being unfavorable to the Queen Mother?" Cai Chen asked.

"Okay, don't make a lot of noise in front of the mourning family, the mourning family can't directly say that Huaixi will be ceded to Han Qian, but since Han Qian sent Wang Chan'er's thief and maid to Jinling, in order to show the magnanimity of Chu, he can send some people back to the north bank," Qingyang said, "You can discuss with Yang En about arranging this matter as appropriate......

"Wechen obeys." Cai Chen said.

At the beginning of the year, the people who withdrew north with Han Daochang and Han Duan in advance are a minority, after all, in addition to Han Daoming, Qin Wenwen, Yun Puzi, and the old lady Han Wenhuan and Chen Jingzhou are under house arrest, there are also quite a number of officials involved in Tangyi, and there are currently almost 200 people, all of whom have been imprisoned by the Inner Chamberlain.

In addition, there are currently more than 3,000 veterans of the guards who are from the original Chishan Army, and Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, and Du Chongtao also intend to separate these people and use them as the lowest soldiers, thinking that they will be used by Tangyi again.

At present, one of the main tasks of the people lurking in Jinling is to make use of all kinds of proper placement of these people as much as possible.

Although there are only a hundred of these people who are actually affiliated with the Secret Division or the Red Mountain Society, if they can fight for them to be sent to the North Shore, they can even be ransomed at a huge cost.

…………

Lanting Lane, located in the east city, was once crowded and prosperous because of the opening of warehouses and money shops.

The warehouses and money shops were short-lived, at the beginning of the war and the time of the Jinling rebellion, the soldiers, generals and families living in Lanting Lane, Tieliu Lane, and Gushan Lane almost all flowed out, and no one moved back afterwards, and Lanting Lane became silent again.

After the year, Wang Wenqian and Yin Peng dragged their families with their families, and more than 100 people moved into the old house in Lanting Lane, but the alley was a little lively.

Of course, Wang Wenqian's idea of setting up a college has not yet been realized.

Even if Wang Wenqian still holds the title of a guest of the Xinwang Mansion at this time, Wang Wenqian is Han Qian's father-in-law after all.

Even though Han Qian once established Han Wenxin as the son of Hou Shizi, it was rumored that Han Qian did not like the Wang family at that time, but after all, it was when Han Qian was a Chu minister.

At this time, Han Qianchan succeeded to the position of the lord of the Great Liang State, although he did not canonize the two young sons, but the news from Heluo was finally that Wang Jun was crowned as a concubine and Zhao Ting'er was crowned as a concubine.

Therefore, no matter what, Jinling would not allow Wang Wenqian to make any big moves in the city, and even Jingzhao Mansion arranged for two spies to live in Lanting Lane and watch every move of the Wang family's mansion.

Yin Peng picked up a pot of wine and a few kinds of vegetables and meat, pushed the door and walked into the courtyard.

After moving out of the Xinwang Mansion, the days were cold, for more than two months, the people in the courtyard rarely got a touch of meat, smelling the smell of meat, Wang Wenqian untied the lotus leaves, and asked Xu to take a big bowl and take more than half of it, and give it to each family to taste a taste, and the rest was left, and he and Yin Peng placed it on the stone table in the courtyard to accompany the wine.

"I went to the wine shop to sell wine and went to the back alley of the army to buy mutton, and the stupid Zhao Erji suddenly stuffed a letter to me, saying that it was Junxiao

Sister's letter - Zhao Er, who has lived in Lanting Lane for two months, really didn't notice that Zhao Er, who was full of sheep's anger, would be Tangyi's secret spy! Yin Peng sighed and handed the letter to Wang Wenqian.

Wang Wenqian opened the letter, read it again, and then uncovered the lampshade and burned it into ashes, leaving no trace.

"What did Miss Jun say?" Yin Peng asked.

Jun'er nagged and talked about some things after they arrived in Luoyang, Han Qian was busy with the war, and he didn't think of canonizing the concubines, but it was Zhu Juezhong, Chen Youtong and other ministers who advocated it, so they hastily went through the motions; She also said that if I wanted to cross the river to the north bank, she had a Zhuangzi in Liyang and could run a academy - she really had long wings and knew that she had arranged a retreat for me...... Wang Wenqian said.

Yin Peng peeked at Wang Wenqian's eyes with a few gloomy meanings that could not be hidden, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Although he didn't directly read what was written in the letter, he also understood the meaning that Wang Jun wanted to convey at this time.

Zhu Juezhong, Chen Youtong and others are still conservative in the end, even if the old and new systems are to be integrated, they should still hope to be more biased towards the old system, so after Wang Jun and Zhao Ting'er arrived in Luoyang, they would advocate giving the second daughter a name first in such a tense situation, and then most of them would take them to Luoyang when the time was right.

If Tangyi had always been a feudal town of Great Chu, and they had lived in Jinling after breaking away from Chuzhou, of course there was nothing, but in the current situation, Jinling was obviously no longer their habitat.

And if Liang Chu can better solve this Chanji crisis, they can only go to Liang to find a place to live, but Wang Jun wrote this letter, obviously hoping that when Han Daoming or Feng Yi officially sent someone to contact them, they could take the initiative to settle in Liyang instead of Luoyang, so as to avoid some subtle differences between Han Qian and the old officials of Liang State.

As a father, seeing his daughter completely turn to her husband's house, my heart is more or less a taste, right?

Yin Peng said with a smile: "I want to live in Liyang, although it is only a river away, in summer and autumn, the weather in Liyang is much more refreshing than Jinling, and it is really a pleasant residence - I don't know if Liang Chu can negotiate peace." When I went to sell wine, I saw the carriage and horse of the prince rushing to Shouwang's mansion overnight, presumably I still have to persuade Shouwang to join Chuzhou to send troops to recover Huaixi, whether it will start a fight, it is really hard to say now. ”

"Cutting down the domain and cutting Tanzhou, when did Yang Zhitang really send troops into Hengzhou? And when was the rebellion in Jinling, when did Yang Zhitang send his son to Yueyang? Yang Zhitang is an old man in the rivers and lakes, and he takes a big advantage every time, but he also decided to really use troops against Huaixi, he was reluctant to take out the right dragon martial army, and was the first to rush into Huaixi to fight,"

Wang Wenqian shook his head and said,

"And the guards are guarding Gyeonggi; The Left Wuxiang Army had to defend Chi, Shu, Jiangxuan, and other prefectures to prevent major mistakes on the right wing of Gyeonggi and Jiangxi, Jingxiang, and Hunan; Although Zhou Bingwu, Zhang Pan, and Zhao Zhen had many soldiers and horses on the Western Front, Li Zhihe and Chai Jian were attached to the Liang State, and the Shu army would inevitably form an alliance with the Liang State. The only ones who can move are the Right Dragon Wu Army and Yang Yuanyan's Chuzhou Army, but don't talk about the one in Changxin Palace, Shen Yang, Zheng Yu, Zhang Chao, Huang Hua and others will not just ask the Chuzhou Army to attack Huaixi. If you want to fight, you still have to call the Right Dragon Martial Army to be the first to kill it in the end. Yang Zhitang was reluctant, he had neither the need nor the decisiveness to let go. Han Qian accepted Li Zhihe and Chai Jian at this time, but he also sent Wang Chan'er, Yang Lin and others to Jinling to curry favor in every way, Yang Zhitang would even want to wait and see the development of the Heluo battle situation for two or three months, but he didn't expect Han Qian to win the most critical two or three months, and the most difficult stage would pass, maybe Han Qian would rush to attack the Right Dragon Martial Army first......

"Even if Heluo can survive the Yuhe flood, the casualties will inevitably be extremely heavy, even if Han Qian can get a chance to breathe, he should also prepare for the defense after the autumn and winter, how can he attack the Right Dragon Martial Army first?" Yin Peng asked suspiciously.

"You're right, the arrival of the Yuhe River flood in two or three months will force the Mengwu people to withdraw again, and Heluo will usher in a rare gap of four or five months to recuperate, in order to meet the new offensive between the Mengwu and the Eastern Liang army after the autumn and winter," Wang Wenqian said, "In fact, after the winter, the Jialu River and Yingshui have a three-month ice period, which can give the Eastern Liang army the opportunity to attack Xu Chen Cai Ying from the flank, which will make Han Qian face greater military pressure on the northern front - this is also destined to survive the second stage of the Heluo battle, The Liang-Chu peace talks are still dragging on and not being negotiated, and Han Qian will inevitably take the lead in destroying all the naval forces of the Chu State, so that more elite troops can be transferred to the northern front after the winter-think about it, after the Hehuai War last year, Han Qian led Kong Xirong to lead his troops to capture Deng Jun and Erzhou, but did he hesitate at all? Look at it, whether it's Han Daoming or Feng Yi, during this time in Jinling, he will definitely show weakness in every way, so I don't know how Yang Zhitang will feel when he sees Han Qian's real fangs at that time. ”

"Ah, I really didn't think about it so deeply," Yin Peng was slightly stunned, and said with emotion, "Alas, why is Miss Jun willing to let the adults stay in Liyang?" ”

"Han Qian has never been subordinate to others, and there is no shortage of advisers around him, what use can I have?" Wang Wenqian said quite sentimentally, "Oh, by the way, Jun'er just wants me to go to Liyang, if you have a chance, you can go to Luoyang with Han Daoming and them......"

"I'll just stay with the adults and wait." Yin Peng said.

"What kind of bastard are you talking about," Wang Wenqian said, "If Han Qian can recapture Guanzhong from the hands of the Mughu, the world will return to Daliang, I have a daughter like Jun'er, the history books will not lack a sum of money for me, you follow me, then everything is really delayed......"
