Yang Qin led three ships over and also carried a batch of supplies, which was planned for emergency response.

At present, Du Chongtao officially entrusted Li Zhihe to serve as the vanguard general of the left front, and handed over the left flank defense line mainly to the Longque Army, so the supply of money, food and materials in this direction will naturally be coordinated by Xiangzhou City, so there is no need for Yang Qin to temporarily advance the materials brought this time.

This batch of materials, including 2,000 stone japonica rice, 100 barrels of tung oil, and a number of tea and medicine iron Tubu bacon, could not be transported to Jinling for sale at this time, Han Qian asked Yang Qin to immediately arrange for people to unload the materials and transport them ashore.

No one knows how many materials are needed to build a city here?

Han Qian even sent someone to inform Feng Xuan that when the main force of the Dragon Bird Army entered the Han River, they were loaded with supplies and the fleet that was temporarily staying in Yuezhou for standby also followed.

For the four surnames, as long as there is money to be made, they will not be pitted by Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father, as long as Han Qian can settle the money to them in the end, they will not care where the materials shipped from Xuzhou will be transported in the end.

Although Han Qian planned to use the salt matter as the first lever to leverage many things, in fact, it was not easy for him to really control the salt matter here in the first step.

Commercial transportation and sales also need to be issued by the salt and iron envoys to the salt guide, so that the salt merchants can transport salt to the designated place, and the transportation and the opening of salt shops for sale also need to be supervised by the salt officials.

Even in this process, the Anning Palace and the crown prince did not set up obstacles, and according to the normal procedure, the first bag of salt and the waves were transported after two or three months.

When it really happened, the war was stalemate, and Han Qian was very likely to lack skills, and most of the daylilies were completely cold.

After Han Qian waited for most of the scouts of the Zuo Division to gather in Canglang, he stayed in Canglang with Tiancheng first, sent people to carry tea and medicine and other things, went into the mountains to find cottages to send gifts, and first established preliminary contacts to ease the tense atmosphere of the northward march of the Danshui River of the army, and he rushed to Xiangzhou City by empty boat with Yang Qin to meet the third prince Yang Yuanpu.

From the waves along the Han River, one hundred and sixty miles to Xiangzhou City.

There is a remnant road on the north bank, and the soldiers and generals have to walk for two days, and they have to walk for a day on horseback, and sail downstream, only half a day, they will arrive outside the north city of Xiangzhou.

Of course, Han Qian took Xi Ying, who was dressed as a man, to see the third prince, and only let Yang Qin lead a few people to accompany him.

The main battle ship was taken by Guo Nu'er to Yuezhou to find Feng Xuanxun, and the two pulp sailing ships docked at the river beach in the north of Xiangzhou City with Lin Zongjing.

Xiangzhou City, also known as Xiangcheng, is the seat of Xiangzhou Prefecture, after Du Chongtao left the town of Xiangzhou, the key work is to repair Xiangcheng, but in addition to the city is deeper and wider than the Qianyang City of Xuzhou, there are traces of war everywhere in the city.

The most serious destruction of Xiangzhou City was during the Hede period of the previous dynasty, when the bandit leader Qin Zongquan led 300,000 thieves to pour into Xiangzhou. At that time, all the cities were down, only the Xiangzhou wall was high and dangerous, and it could not be attacked for a long time, Qin Zongquan finally drove the people of the four fields to transport earth and stones to fill the Liuzi River, which flows into the Han River from the west of Xiangzhou City, and opened a canal to divert the water of the Liuzi River to the city of Xiangzhou, flooding for more than a month, and finally causing the city wall to collapse.

This battle also caused a great loss to the vitality of Xiangzhou, a famous city known as the iron bucket.

…………

…………

Du Chongtao rebuilt Xiangzhou City, still building Xiangzhou City as a military fortress, and more than one-third of the city was where the state government, the defense embassy and the garrison yamen were located.

The third prince Yang Yuanpu was the deputy marshal, and Du Chongtao also set aside Xicheng Jinxingfang separately as Yang Yuanpu's residence.

Han Qian entered the city and rushed straight to Jinxingfang, and inside and outside the door of the fang, which was opened to the south, had all been replaced by the guards of the Linjiang Marquis Mansion.

At this time, the third prince, accompanied by Chai Jian, had just left Jinxingfang to meet the defense envoy Du Chongtao, Han Qian didn't know how long the third prince and Chai Jianhui would delay with Du Chongtao, and heard the little colonel who guarded the door say that the third prince also specially arranged a house for him in Jinxingfang, so he led them over first.

Walking in the alleyway inside the courtyard, there are wisps of melodious piano sound.

Han Qian frowned slightly, there are more than 100 courtyards in Jinxingfang, since they have been allocated to the three princes separately, there should be no idle people staying here, and the three princes landed from Jiangzhou, and came by fast horse at a speed of no less than three hundred miles a day, there could be no female dependents and musicians with him, how could there be the sound of the piano in the courtyard of the workshop?

Could it be that only two days after he and Li Zhihe left, Du Chongtao sent a musician and a female musician to the third prince for recreation?

Du Chongtao wants to appease the third prince and not cause trouble for him, this is something that Du Chongtao is very likely to do, but listening to the sound of the piano doesn't seem to come from the back house where the third prince lives, is there any low-level officer in the guard camp who has such an elegance?

Han Qian thought wildly in his heart, and walked to the depths of the alley with the little school, the sound of the piano became more and more real and clear, and finally they stopped in front of a courtyard gate, and the sound of the piano came from the courtyard next door.

"Who's living next door?" Han Qian frowned slightly and asked the little school.

"The newly appointed Hou Mansion Supervisor Zhang Ping lives next door to the adults." The Colonel asked.

Han Qian asked Yang Qin to take people into the courtyard to rest, he took Xi Ying to the courtyard next door, and there was no sense of knocking on the door, he directly pushed open the empty courtyard door, and through the weeping flower gate, he saw the atrium where the grass and trees were withered and there was still residual snow.

Han Qian didn't expect to see Yao Xishui, and he was also slightly stunned, but in the blink of an eye, he pouted and smiled, and said:

"Yes, I'm worried about the cold night in Xiangzhou, no one warms my feet, it turns out that the foot warmers are already waiting here." Yao Xishui looked over with a pair of beautiful eyes, glanced at Han Qian with an arrogant expression, but ignored him.

"Miss Yao, as the leader of the Late Red Mansion, doesn't seem to be suitable for appearing in Xiangzhou City, could it be that Mrs. and her old man finally want to open it, and want to reward you to me to warm the bed?" Han Qian saw a short stool beside Yao Xishui, walked over with a hippie smile, and reached out to grab Yao Xishui's slender and white little hand.

As soon as Yao Xi's sailor raised, a cold light flashed, and half of the sharp and snowy short blade slipped through his sleeve.

Han Qian withdrew his hand and said, "When you come here, you always have to have an identity, right?" Zhao Mingting's eyeliner in Xiangzhou City is not necessarily less than that of Jinling. ”

"The people's daughter has been lonely since she was a child, and she has to live in the dust, but fortunately, she was taken pity by Lord Zhang Ping, the uncle of the inner temple, and accepted as a righteous daughter, and served by her side, can you still bear to continue to bully the little girl, Lord Han?" Yao Xishui tucked the short sword into his cuffs, stared at Han Qian with beautiful eyes and asked.

Han Qian saw that there was no one else in the courtyard, and secretly felt that this chamberlain Zhang Ping was either in the house where the third prince lived, or he accompanied the third prince to see Du Chongtao.

Han Qian had already guessed that there would be people from the Evening Red Mansion around Concubine Shi to help deliver the news and take care of Concubine Shi and the three princes' secluded life in the palace.

However, when Han Qian was in Jinling, he didn't hear that the Ministry of Internal Affairs intended to send someone else to replace Guo Rong as the supervisor in the Linjiang Hou Mansion, but he didn't expect that Zhang Ping and Yao Xishui were already in Xiangzhou City at this time, and the speed of action was really not slow!

The third prince had seen Yao Xishui, so it was naturally not difficult to guess the true identity of Zhang Ping, the uncle of the inner temple, and Han Qian had not seen the third prince at this time, and he didn't know what the three princes really thought and felt in their hearts.

Anger or fear?

Han Qian's hand rested on the piano stand, but his heart twitched slightly, and a chill ran down his spine.

I didn't think that seeing the slightest sign of uncontrollability of the three princes, they couldn't live anymore, it was not enough to have Chai Jian, Li Chong and others, the black gauze woman and Xinchang Marquis Li Pu actually arranged Zhang Ping and Yao Xishui directly to the three princes, so as to directly strengthen the control of the three princes to ensure that everything was under their control.

Han Qian glanced at the two maids beside Yao Xishui, then stood up and walked back to the house arranged for him to live in Xiangzhou City next door with Xi Ying.

"Why, seeing that you are not the only smart person in the world, your heart is not happy?" Seeing Han Qian's unhappy appearance, Xi Ying couldn't help but sneer.

"I think you should change your name, don't call Xi Ying, and change your name to Xi Luo in the future," Han Qian glared at Xi Ying and said, "If I'm unlucky, can you end up?" ”

Xi Ying also knew that the ridicule just now was a little too much, she took off the saber on her waist, and took off the heavy robe, the jacket worn by the girl on a cold day, and came over to help Han Qian take off the leather armor she was wearing in the robe.
