Next, Yuan Guowei talked about the arrangements of the county prince's mansion for Ezhou.

Emperor Tianyou exempted the third prince Yang Yuanpu from the Junzhou assassination history, so that Xu Zhaoling also led the Junzhou assassination history, in the eyes of outsiders is absconding, after he was disappointed in the third prince Yang Yuanpu, he decided to make a certain compromise with his foreign relatives Xu.

However, there are no counties in Junzhou, not only the four cantonment military mansions are under the direct jurisdiction of the county king's mansion and the military palace, but the governor of Junzhou is concurrently led by Chai Jian, and after Zhou Yi was transferred to Ezhou, Junzhou Sima was led by Li Zhihe, in fact, Xu Zhaoling is only an empty assassin in Junzhou, and he has no real power at all.

The third prince, Yang Yuanpu, led Ezhou, Shen Yang was demoted to the governor of Ezhou, Ezhou did not have a Sima, in fact, Shen Yang fully presided over the military and political affairs of Ezhou; In addition, Zhou Yi led 3,000 elites to be transferred to Ezhou to serve as a battalion soldier and horse envoy.

At this time, the imperial court should strengthen its vigilance against Tanzhou, whether it is bright or dark, and the difference is how much effort is invested.

The intensity of investment is large, that is, it is planned to use troops in Tanzhou; The intensity of investment is small, and it is only to strengthen the vigilance of Tanzhou, which shows that the imperial court is weak, and deep down he is more worried about what kind of rash actions Tanzhou has.

Therefore, it is impossible for the imperial court to allocate too much money and grain to Tanzhou on the surface, and Shen Yang and Zhou Yi's preparations for war in Ezhou, including the construction of a water camp berth, ship repair yard, etc., can only be secretly advanced in the name of the county king's mansion preparing warehouses and workshops in Ezhou.

Coupled with the proceeds of extortion from the Han family, the county king's mansion currently has 400,000 yuan in his hands, which seems to be quite considerable, but even if it is preparing for a medium-scale war, it is quite stretched.

Yuan Guowei took the opportunity of escorting Zhang Ping to Xuzhou to announce the decree to meet Han Qian, and when he returned, he would stay in Ezhou to help Shen Yang collect information about the counties of Tanzhou.

When the time comes, if Han Qian has anything to contact, he can send someone to Ezhou, so that he can travel for a few days.

Han Qian talked about the situation in Xuzhou again.

Feng's slaves and maids are more unusable than imagined, and in the future, they can only be used as basic farmers in Linjiang County to expand the scale of farming in Linjiang County, and they cannot be directly organized into military households, so they cannot provide more soldiers, which is also helpless.

The other situations in Xuzhou are similar to what Yuan Guowei and Zhang Ping had before.

Now Zhang Ping and the others know the overall plan to hide from the world, but the Han family's father and son have such a small amount of manpower and resources in their hands, and they really doubt how far they can prepare before the autumn and winter.

At this time, there was a murmuring piano sound, Yao Xishui raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise: "Xuzhou is located in a corner, there is such a person with outstanding piano skills?" ”

Yao Xishui is known as a sword dance, and his piano skills are not as good as Su Hongyu's, but his tasting level is first-class.

"It should be Zhou Yourui, the head of the public hall, everyone is playing the piano." Han Qian looked over the courtyard wall and saw a black and white spotted civet cat lying on the wall, seemingly immersed in the sound of the piano, and said.

The post house is next to the music camp, and the Guanyue Building, which is across the alley from the east of the Furong Garden, is almost the most lively nightlife place in Qianyang City.

"The former assassin Wang Yu died, more than 100 officials in Xuzhou were silent, but a weak woman came out to sell the coffin to help Wang Yu's body return to his hometown?" Yao Xishui asked.

When the world was developed, there was no male and female defense in later generations, and there were even empresses in the previous dynasty, but a strange woman like Zhou Yourui was rare after all.

Han Qian nodded and said, "This is the woman." ”

At this time, another flute sounded, and the sound of the harp was harmonized.

"Who's playing the flute?" Zhang Ping asked, "There is a melancholy color hidden between the piano and flute." ”

Han Qian glanced at Zhang Ping, and saw that there was no mockery between his eyebrows and eyes when he spoke, but he was quite appreciative of the sound of the flute, and said: "Xue Ruogu, the master of Xuzhou, is good at playing the flute, and it should be Xue Ruogu and Zhou Yourui's flute harmony." ”

When he walked into the post house just now, he heard that Xue Ruogu, Qin Wen, and Li Tang were drinking at Zhou Yourui's place.

Maybe they didn't expect the court to be so soft on his father and son, right?

Han Qian also admired the integrity of Xue Ruogu and Zhou Yourui and others, but not only could he not use them at this time, he wanted to cover the eyes and ears of Tanzhou, and he had to do everything possible to suppress them.

"There are a lot of loyal ministers and good sons in Xuzhou who miss the imperial court!" Chun Thirteen Niang sneered.

Han Qian glanced at Chun Thirteen Niang, got up and said to Zhang Ping and Yuan Guowei: "Then I won't delay here, and then I will order the release of your surveillance, so that you can contact all forces as an envoy of the imperial court." If you have nothing to do, you can also go and listen to Zhou Yourui, Xue Ruogu, and the flute and ......."

Now not only the forces in Xuzhou, but also Chenzhou in the north and Yingzhou in the southwest are full of vigilance against his father and son, Zhang Ping and Yuan Guowei can contact and test these forces when they come, so that his side can have a more targeted response.

"If this Xue Ruogu has any thoughts that are not good for your father and son, do you want us to help you get rid of them?" Chun Thirteen Niang's watery eyes stared at Han Qian like a hook and asked.

"You only need to be responsible for finding out the news, but whether you want to get rid of anyone is not your concern." Han Qian frowned and said in a cold voice.

In the past, in Jinling, Han Qian was still afraid that Chun Sanniang was a person from the late Red Mansion, and he would not treat him harshly, but at this time in Xuzhou, he would not allow Chun Sanniang to resist his power at will.

Han Qian thought that Feng Yi and Kong Xirong were also wandering in the music hall at this time, so that they had the opportunity to meet Chun Shisanniang, and he didn't know if this was correct.

Chun Thirteen Niang's face was stunned, even if she knew her delicate appearance, she really didn't have much status in Han Qian's heart.

Zhang Ping and even Yao Xishui hoped that they could avoid Yuan Guowei and have a chance to talk to Han Qian alone, but Han Qian turned a blind eye, stood up and looked around the room, saw the two large celadon vases used as decoration on the wooden shelves in the corner of the wall, walked over and picked them up, and said, "I have to make some noise, let others know that we didn't have a good conversation this time." ”

After that, Han Qian walked to the front of the porch and smashed two large celadon vases towards the courtyard wall one after another, and there was a sound of "bang", and the sound of the piano and flute on the other side of the music camp also paused, presumably it was such a big movement that also alarmed that side.

The guards guarding the outer courtyard rushed in, their hands pressed on their blades, and they all stared at Zhang Ping, Yuan Guowei and others, not knowing what was going on.

"Let's go!" Han Qian angrily flicked his sleeves and walked outside the post house.

Xi Ying chased him out, took advantage of Han Qian's turn on his horse, and asked, "If Zhang Ping and they only stay in Qianyang City for a few days, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch many big fish, right?" ”

Han Qian nodded and said, "If you want to lure the snake out of the hole, it is indeed not possible to do it quickly in a short time, but what to do, I will talk about it after I have met my father." ”

…………

…………

Today's Furong Garden, the back house of the Thorn Mansion, is even more noisy than when Han Qian first came to Xuzhou.

The guards of Furong Garden are more important than the guards of the entire Qianyang City.

The four clans may not dare to make any big moves, let alone gather a limited number of troops to storm Qianyang City before the situation is clear, but the assassination has not only happened one or two times in this land in the past.

The situation was quite relaxed before, and the Feng family dared to poison the former assassin Shi Wangyu, what else could they not do?

After returning from the post house, Han Qian went directly to the west courtyard of Furong Garden to meet his father.

More than a dozen officials were summoned by Han Daoxun to Furong Garden to ask about things, Fan Xicheng, Zhao Kuo, and Feng Yi also sat in the hall to participate in the discussion, and when they saw Han Qian walking in, they all stood up and saluted: "I've seen Lord Sima." ”

Han Qian was in a trance for a moment, and then he thought that after Zhang Ping went to Xuzhou to announce his decree, he was now the Sima of Xuzhou, and he was the second person in Xuzhou after his father and mastered the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, and he could officially intervene in the affairs of Xuzhou in the future.

In addition to the history of assassination, the core official positions of Changshi, Sima, Bing Cao and Qianyang County Commander who held the local military and political power in Xuzhou have been in the hands of local surnames such as Xiang Xiyang and Xiang Xi for a long time since the middle and late dynasties, and they have been in the hands of local surnames such as Xiang Xiyang and Xiang Xi for a long time, and it has been as long as 200 years before and after.

Since the founding of the Great Chu, tradition has also been followed, and the only difference is that the Xi family has been eliminated in the inner bar of the native surname.

After Han Daoxun went to Xuzhou, the state Sima Xiang Jianlong wrote to Jinling before asking the state Sima to resign, so as to test the imperial court's attitude towards Xuzhou.

Jinling did not reply to Xiang's letter for a long time, and it was delayed for more than a year, and this time it was officially removed from Xiang Jianlong's position as the state Sima and replaced by Han Qian.

Han Qian glanced at the officials present, except for Xue Ruogu, Li Tang, and Qin Wen, who deliberately alienated themselves from this side, the officials with the local surname were still nowhere to be seen, but most of the officials sitting in the place were obviously untrustworthy, and even now they are not sure how many of them have been co-opted by Tanzhou.

Thinking of this, Han Qian glanced at Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo again.

Han Qian didn't see any flaws in Zhao Kuo until now, thinking that he might be like Chen Jitang and Zhao Qi, he had a past that could not be made public, and the Han family was just his place to stay, right?

Han Qian arched his hand to the official Shi present and said, "I have something to discuss with my father and Fan Ye, and I would like to ask you to sit here for a while." ”

Han Qian, his father Han Daoxun and Fan Xicheng went to sit down in the room, signaled Zhao Wuji and Xi Fa'er to stay in front of the corridor to prevent anyone from approaching, and then told his father about the arrangements of the county prince's mansion in Ezhou:

"Your Majesty will not have too much patience, and if we are not prepared before the winter, Your Majesty will also issue an order to cut down the feudal domain. Ma was unwilling to give in, and the Dragon Bird Army would advance westward from Ezhou. At that time, we will not be able to send troops to cooperate in Xuzhou, and it will be difficult to be loyal ministers! ”

Han Daoxun could understand what Han Qian meant, Emperor Tianyou made their father and son divide Xuzhou, but they were actually gambling.

If the Dragon Bird Army sent troops from Ezhou, there would be no action on the Xuzhou side, not to mention the mouth of the world, and Emperor Tianyou and the three princes would never trust their father and son again.

"Can we prepare for winter yet?" Han Doxun asked worriedly.

"If we go according to the plan, we won't be ready before winter." Han Qian said that the situation in Xuzhou was originally countless times more complicated than ordinary states and counties, where could they have the opportunity to completely control the situation in Xuzhou step by step?

Fan Xicheng knew what Han Qian was talking about, and the forces outside Xuzhou didn't say it, within Xuzhou, the four clans and the forces infiltrated in Tanzhou were too cautious and vigilant, and the walled city guarded was high and far away, and it was extremely dangerous.

They only have more than 1,000 people in their hands, and even if they storm a village, the casualties may not be able to withstand it, not to mention the Chinese city and the Fanzhai controlled by the four clans.

"What strategy do you want to use to break the current deadlock?" Han Daoxun asked Han Qiandao.

"The only way to scare the snake and lure the snake out of the hole can be used." Han Qian said.
