In the city of Hangzhou, Qian Biao stood solemnly on the inner city wall, watching the Xuanzhou army outside the city gradually retreat, speechless for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

What is different from history is that in this life, because of the Yuezhou army led by Gu Quanwu to help, although Tian Yan had the upper hand in the battle situation in Hangzhou, it was not overwhelming, and Tian Yan wanted to break through Hangzhou It was obviously more difficult than in history; On the other hand, the army of Yang Wu and Wang Maozhang was in Huzhou, and they could go south at any time to cut off the return route of Tian Yan, and this practical oppression was obviously heavier than in history.

Therefore, although Tian Yan in this life also sent someone to negotiate with Qian Biao in the end, he only asked Qian Biao for 50,000 yuan of "labor and military expenses" in the end. And Tian Yan in history not only asked Qian Biao for 200,000 yuan, but also asked Qian Biao's son Qian Chuanqian to go to Xuanzhou as a hostage. In addition, the time of Tian Yan's withdrawal was also a little earlier than in history.

However, although the Xuanzhou army has retreated, the blow to Qian Biao caused by the rebellion of Wuyongdu is still a bit too heavy. When he was still fighting hard for Hangzhou before, he didn't feel it, but at this time, when the Xuanzhou army retreated, he was deeply aware of the consequences of the rebellion in Wuyongdu.

Hangzhou is the place where he started, when Dong Chang captured Yuezhou, his ambition was lost, and he only wanted to be the emperor, so he left this rich city to Qian Biao; Qian Biao expanded in all directions with this as the core, and then eliminated him when Dong Chang usurped the emperor, and finally became a local tyrant who divided the two Zhejiang.

In order to run Hangzhou, a place of foundation, he has invested many financial and material resources in the past ten years, and it has avoided many military disasters and has become one of the most prosperous states in the south of the Yangtze River. However, after the rebellion of Wuyongdu, especially the cruelty of those Caizhou people in Wuyongdu, Hangzhou is now in ruins, and hungry people are everywhere, making Qian Biao want to cry without tears.

Not to mention Suzhou and Huzhou, both of which are economically developed and populous states, Suzhou provided him with a lot of money and grain, and Huzhou served as a barrier for Hangzhou to share the pressure from Huainan. Now, with the fall of these two states, the strength of Qian Biao's side has been greatly damaged, and Hangzhou has also completely fallen into the encirclement of Huainan's side, and I am afraid that there will be no more peaceful days in the future.

In addition to the damage that has been done, the instability in the local states has also caused headaches for Qian. For example, Ding Zhang, the general of Wenzhou, took advantage of the chaos in Hangzhou to expel Zhu Ao, the assassin appointed by Qian Biao, and occupied Wenzhou himself.

There is also Chen Zhang, the assassin of Quzhou, some time ago, when Tian Yan besieged Hangzhou, he built a fortress to cut off the road to traffic, Qian Biao was very worried about this, and recruited people who could seize the fortress to reward him with the position of assassin of the state. At that time, Chen Zhang immediately led 300 soldiers out of the city to seize the fortress, and Qian Biao deeply appreciated his bravery, and immediately let Chen Zhang serve as the assassin of Quzhou according to his promise.

But what he didn't expect was that this Chen Zhang immediately became half-hearted about Qian Biao after making a stabbing history, and Wenzhou Ding Zhang swaggered through Quzhou when he sent an envoy to contact Tian Yan, but Chen Zhang turned a blind eye to this and let the envoys of the two sides come and go, so this person's mind is obvious.

In addition, after the death of Chen Sheng, the assassin of Muzhou, his son Chen Shaoqian was able to inherit the position of assassin because of Chen Sheng's merits. However, after the change of Wuyongdu, Chen Sheng's younger brother Chen Xun took the opportunity to abolish Chen Shaoqian and establish himself as a assassin. Because he was worried that Qian Biao would pursue the matter, Chen Xun also colluded with Tian Yan many times during this time, and now he is called a minister under Qian Biao, and he has actually established his own side.

And the Chuzhou Assassin Shi Luyo was only nominally subservient to Qian Biao before the Wuyongdu Rebellion, and his relationship with Qian Biao was just like the relationship between Feng Hongduo and Yang Xingmi at the beginning. Now that Qian Biao's strength has been greatly reduced, Lu Yo's ambitions are naturally even more inflated.

Qian Biao owned eleven states before Wuyongdu, but now Suzhou and Huzhou have fallen, Wenzhou, Muzhou, Quzhou, and Chuzhou nominally belong to him, but in fact they have a great intention of self-reliance, so that now he can actually control only the five states of Hangzhou, Yuezhou, Mingzhou, Taizhou and Wuzhou, and the loss is so great that Qian Biao is heartbroken.

"My lord, should I just watch them withdraw safely?" Behind him, watching the Xuanzhou army slowly retreat, the generals showed unwillingness on their faces. Not to mention the heavy losses after more than three months of struggle, in the end, they had to pay "labor and military expenses" to Tian Yan, and the two culprits Xu Juan and Xu Zaisi could only watch them go free.

Qian Biao sighed, he naturally knew the thoughts of the generals, but when he said that he was unwilling, was there anyone more unwilling than him?

"Generals, Tian Yan is also a military senior, although he has reached an agreement with our army, how can he be defenseless? After more than three months of hard fighting, our army finally repelled the enemy, and now the soldiers have long lost the will to fight, and our army is afraid that it may not be able to achieve victory if it catches up! Du Jianwei explained on the side.

Now there are only 20,000 troops in the city, while there are nearly 40,000 troops on the side of Tian Yan, and the gap between the two sides is too big.

"Yes, what's more, the reason why Tian Yan retreated is not that he can't beat us, but that he was recalled by Yang Xingmi's envoy, if our army goes out of the city to attack them at this time, I'm afraid it will give them an excuse to continue attacking." Gu Quanwu also opened his mouth and said: "What's more, Tian Yan has never been very obedient to Yang Xingmi, and he was used by Huainan this time, the resentment in his heart is difficult to dissipate, and in the opinion of the last general, Tian Yan will definitely rebel next!" ”

Qian Biao became interested at this time, "You're right, Lone also sees it this way." Therefore, at this time, our army not only could not go out of the city to attack Tian Yan, but also found a way to make friends with him, relieve his worries, and let him rest assured to boldly rebel. With Tian Yan's strength, as long as he rebelled, Lone believed that the losses caused to Lone by the rebellion of Wuyongdu would definitely make him Yang Xingmi taste it again! ”

At the end, Qian Biao gritted his teeth a little. Compared with Tian Yan, Yang Xingmi was even more resentful in his heart. First, compared with Tian Yan, Yang Xingmi successively captured his Suzhou and Hangzhou, and said that the harm caused was naturally greater.

Second, when he fought against Sun Ru, when Yang Xingmi was in the most difficult time, Qian Biao once helped Yang Xingmi. Although this is just out of the idea of "cold lips and teeth", but help is help, and now Yang Xingmi not only does not want to repay his kindness, but falls into the well when he is in the most difficult time, Qian Biao naturally hates him even more.

"King, Yang Xingmi is unkind and unjust, so we naturally don't need to be polite to him. However, now we have the oppression of Huainan outside, and Muzhou, Wenzhou, Chuzhou, Quzhou and other places inside are not satisfied with the king, and under the internal and external troubles, please try to stabilize the inside first! ”

When Gu Quanwu in history persuaded Qian Biao to ask Yang Xingmi for help, he praised Yang Xingmi as a benevolent elder who would never do anything to help thieves and cause trouble, but now he naturally doesn't think so. However, after all, he was sober-minded and had a thorough understanding of the current situation, knowing that what Qian Biao needed to do most at present was not to take revenge on Huainan but to stabilize the interior as soon as possible.

Qian Biao nodded, he knew that what Gu Quanwu said was right, turned around and looked around at everyone, and bowed deeply: "Now that the situation is difficult, please cooperate sincerely and work together to overcome the crisis!" Qian Biao is grateful! ”

Everyone was startled, but they were also deeply moved by Qian Biao's actions, and immediately bowed to the ground: "I am willing to serve the king!" ”

The surrounding soldiers were also touched by the sincerity of their king, and they bowed down one after another: "I am willing to serve the king!" ”

The sound shook Siye, and everyone's spirit was shaken, and the wounds caused by the bitter battle of the past three months seemed to be healed at this moment.
