When Zhao Chengtai secretly rejoiced in the city, Qian Hongyu also came. Although the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info lived in the royal city, the uninterrupted commotion of the Tang army still made him very depressed, especially the barking of the dogs in the city woke up the dogs raised in the royal city, and they barked harder than other dogs, as if they had inexhaustible strength.

Qian Hongyu sent people to appease and try to calm down these dogs, but it had no effect, and in the end Qian Hongyu had no choice but to have people tie the dog's mouth with a rope, so that he could sleep peacefully for a while.

Qian Hongyu's green eyelids meant that he hadn't slept well, he looked out of the city a little depressed, sighed, and said, "Tang Dog is really hateful." ”

Zhao Chengtai pointed to the dust raised outside the city and said, "Look, the king, the dust is raised there, and there seems to be an ambush by the Tang army. ”

"The ambush is inevitable, Yang Lian just wants to provoke Gu and let Gu be fooled." Qian Hongyu's mind was still very clear, and he looked carefully at the place Zhao Chengtai was pointing at,

"King, you can't go on like this, if this is the case, the soldiers and civilians in Hangzhou will not be well rested at all, and if the war breaks out, their physical strength will inevitably be exhausted." Zhao Chengtai said.

Qian Hongyu knew this truth, he thought about it, and said: "If you want to stop this Tang army, I am afraid that it will not work without Qian Jiedu's cooperation, and if you pass the order, Qian Jiedu will send troops to investigate the movements of the Tang army, if there is no ambush, annihilate this Tang army in one fell swoop." ”

"Whoa!" Zhao Chengtai was overjoyed, walked to the side, and ordered a few soldiers.

Outside the city, Qian Wenfeng got the news, and he was also very puzzled, Yang Lian was like this, in his opinion, it had little effect, it could only affect the rest of the soldiers and civilians near the city gate, and it was impossible to capture the city. It's impossible for Yang Lian not to know, so what is his real purpose?

Qian Wenfeng soon received orders from King Wu Yue, and for this reason, he sent more than fifty scouts to try to figure out what Yang Lian was going to do. Scouts on both sides fought on a large or small scale, long or short on the vast plain between Hangzhou and Yuhang, with scouts dying every day, and Qian Wenfeng did not get much valuable information due to the tight blockade of the Tang army. But judging from Yang Lian's caution, Qian Wenfeng became more and more sure that Yang Lian must have a conspiracy.

But what is the conspiracy? Qian Wenfeng was puzzled. He had no choice but to send more men and keep tempting.

The envoy sent by Qian Hongyu soon arrived in Jinling, the envoy's name is Fan Mengling, a person from Wu County, Suzhou, and now he is the official of Qian Wenfeng, the envoy of the Zhongwu Festival, and he is in charge of the prison lawsuit.

But after all, Wu Yueguo is narrow, especially after the fall of Fuzhou, Wu Yueguo was surrounded by the Tang Dynasty, and the situation became more and more unfavorable.

Fan Mengling came here to disturb the Tang Dynasty and make the Tang Dynasty suspicious of Yang Lian, but what should he do? Fan Mengling hadn't thought about it yet, and after Fan Mengling, who was dressed as a Confucian scholar, entered Jinling City, he walked around Jinling City.

After all, Jinling is the ancient capital of several dynasties, in terms of scale, it is much larger than Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the streets are also very prosperous, even during the war, the faces of the people still have smiles. It had an advantage in the war against Wu Yueguo, and although there were defeats in other places, it was too far away from Jinling, and the people were not too worried.

Fan Mengling carefully observed the various states of the people in Jinling City, and he believed that the Tang Dynasty was actually not powerful, especially the dense brothels on the side of the Qinhuai River, which was enough to prove that the people of Jinling, or the upper class of Jinling, were intoxicated by fireworks.

Fan Mengling actually heard a few street and alley news, when the son had been in and out of these places, but I heard that the son of heaven just admired a few talented women, and had no other meaning. By Fan Mengling's side, it was his son Fan Zanshi, who was now only twenty-one or twelve years old, and Fan Mengling took him with him because he wanted to exercise him.

"Dad, I heard that King Yan and the young prince have an alliance, why don't you go to him?" Fan Zanshi asked.

Fan Mengling shook his head, although it is said that there is an alliance, but this kind of alliance is not reliable at all, otherwise when Wu Yue was in danger, why didn't King Yan persuade the Tang Emperor? And it is said that Zhou Zong was friendly with King Yan, maybe Zhou Zong slaughtered in Wu Yue Kingdom, it was instigated by King Yan, no matter what, King Yan is a Tang person, he has his interests, how can he sell his interests because of the so-called brothers with different surnames? Relying on King Yan is not reliable at all, you still have to rely on your own strength to have the possibility of choosing your fate.

Fan Mengling walked for a while, feeling hungry, so he took his son to a wine shop at random, the wine shop is on the edge of the Qinhuai River, the scenery is particularly beautiful, on the Qinhuai River, the boat lady rows the boat, and there is a song from time to time, there is not much difference from Suzhou, Fan Mengling was stupid for a while, and couldn't help but sigh.

"If this world is still the world of the Tang Dynasty, how can there be so many wars and chaos, and there will be so many life and death?" Fan Mengling said, although he is a person from Wu County, but in fact his ancestors are not from Wu County, the ancestor Fan Lubing once served as the prime minister, and his ancestral home is from Pizhou, and later because of the war, he settled in Wu County. Even after leaving Pizhou for many years, Fan Mengling thinks about his hometown all the time, because that is his roots.

"That's a good point." As soon as Fan Mengling's words fell, a man of about twenty-five or sixteen years old walked over, he was dressed in a purple robe, and his face was free and graceful.

"This person is not an ordinary person." Fan Mengling thought in her heart, stood up, arched her hand, and said, "This brother smiled, Fan just had a momentary feeling." ”

The person who came groaned, he was a little strange, because although Fan Mengling's accent was a Jiangnan accent, it was not a Jinling accent, and it was not implicated in Changzhou, but somewhat with a Guanzhong accent. It was the strangeness in my heart that the person who came forward to talk to him.

Fan Mengling waved his sleeves and said, "Listening to Brother Tai's voice, it doesn't seem to be a person from Jinling." Fan Mengling also heard it.

The person who came arched his hand and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm just a person who came to Jinling to be a hostage." ”

Fan Zan was younger, couldn't hold his breath, and said in a lost voice: "You, are you the Jin prince of the Great Zhou?" ”

The king of the Great Zhou Jin Dynasty is Guo Rong, but he did not get Guo Wei's personal canonization, Guo Rong was already a hostage in Jinling at that time, and afterwards, Guo Wei sent someone to send the gold seal, which was a kind of appeasement.

Guo Rong glanced at the young Fan Zanshi with some surprise, in fact, he was not a few years older than Fan Zanshi, but the status of the two was more different. "Hehe, this brother actually knows me, a waste." Guo Rong shook his head, this is really his name.

"I have long heard of the name of King Jin, and when I saw it today, it was really lofty and extraordinary." Fan Zanshi said.

Guo Rong is still puzzled, how can this person know himself? He is clearly not a Tang man, could it be that there is some conspiracy between these two people? Guo Rong was thinking nonsense for a while.

Fan Mengling saw Guo Rong's doubts, so he explained with a smile, Fan Mengling knew that Guo Rong was from Zhou, and he came to Jinling as a hostage, but he was actually unwilling, otherwise he would not have formed a righteous alliance with the second son of Qian. This person is in Jinling, Datang, and will only make trouble in secret.

Fan Mengling thought about it, and finally made up her mind, and said: "King Jin, don't hide it, Fan Mou came to Jinling to have a heavy responsibility. ”

"Oh? What's the heavy lift? If Brother Fan can be trusted, he might as well say it directly, maybe Guo can help. Guo Rong seemed very enthusiastic, just because King Yan was a little unreliable now, so Guo Rong went around, looking for opportunities, but he didn't expect to be really found by him.

Fan Mengling glanced around very vigilantly, called the running hall, asked for a box, and asked his son Fan Zanshi to wait outside the door, while he and Guo Rong discussed things in the box.

"Dare to ask King Jin, if you are in a position today, who has the possibility of unifying the world?" Fan Mengling asked.

Guo Rong's expression froze, and he knew that he was going to get down to business, so he said: "Brother Fan, the Central Plains Imperial Court is rich in land and resources, and the people are more fierce, and the army's combat effectiveness is not weak, so it naturally has the strength to dominate the world." ”

"If the Central Plains Imperial Court is so strong, how can the King of Jin come to Jinling as a hostage?" Fan Mengling was unceremonious at this time and uncovered the scars on Guo Rong's body.

Guo Rong's face turned slightly red, and explained: "Brother Fan, although Guo is a hostage, what cannot be underestimated is that the Great Zhou still has the strength to dominate the world. However, the vast land area of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the strong combat effectiveness of the army cannot be ignored. ”

Fan Mengling said: "This seems to be very reasonable, according to the words of the King of Jin, but there is a strong enemy in the north of the Great Zhou, with the current situation, the Tang Dynasty is fully expanding in the south, if the Tang Dynasty unifies the south, the situation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties will be formed, I am afraid that the war will continue." ”

Guo Rong shook his head and said, "No, if Guo can return to Kaifeng, as long as it takes just a few years, he will definitely be able to strengthen the country and eliminate the barbarians." ”

"These are all on paper, the King of Jin has not returned to Kaifeng, even if he returns to Kaifeng, will the position of the Emperor of the Great Zhou be the King of Jin?" Fan Mengling said, after all, Guo Rong is only an adopted son, and the Great Zhou Tianzi still has his own son, and it is impossible for the throne to be passed to Guo Rong. If Guo Wei's son inherits the throne and is a rotten wood, how can Guo Rong talk about the great cause of revival?

Guo Rong's expression gradually dimmed, what Fan Mengling said was not wrong, would the position of the Great Zhou Tianzi be inherited by him? If not, everything is just an illusion, and there will always be a time when it will be shattered. Guo Rong bit his lip, he was unwilling, but in the current situation, he couldn't do anything for a while, he was weak in Jinling, and King Yan was inseparable from him, so that many of his strategies could not be implemented.

Fan Mengling said: "King Jin, don't hide it, Fan's identity is the official of the Zhongwu Jiedu envoy, and now he is rushing to Jinling, which is a heavy responsibility." ”

"It's Qian Wenfeng Qian Jiedu." Guo Rong was stunned for a moment, and he immediately remembered that Qian Chengli was Qian Wenfeng's son, but he didn't understand, why didn't Qian Chengli come, but sent a pusher?

"What is Brother Fan doing here?" Guo Rong asked impatiently.

Fan Mengling said: "In today's situation, Fan Mou thinks that King Jin must be very clear that with the defeat of Zhou Zong, only Yang Lian is left in the Tang army that has penetrated into the hinterland of Wu Yue. Although our lord is fully sure to hold Hangzhou and defeat Yang Lian, the biggest problem now is the lack of Wu Yue's water division, once Yang Lian is defeated, he will flee back to Jinling by water. ”

"Brother Fan don't worry about this, Guo and King Yan have already guessed this, so once Yang Lian is defeated, we will set up an ambush in Runzhou and capture Yang Lian in one fell swoop." Guo Rong said, clenching his fists, is this day coming?

"What if Yang Lian doesn't go to Runzhou, but from the canal through Suzhou, Changzhou, to Jinling?" Fan Mengling said.

Guo Rong was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to have considered this, the Grand Canal built by Emperor Yang of Sui back then was very spacious and could drive the Wuya battleship, so theoretically, Yang Lian's battleship could also travel.

"Furthermore, if Yang Lian is defeated, he will not return to Jinling, but to Shanshan and Dongyunzhou, so what?" Fan Mengling said again.

Guo Rong couldn't help but gasp, he only thought that if Yang Lian was defeated, he would definitely return to Jinling, but he didn't consider other possibilities. What Fan Mengling said is not wrong, if that is the case, the ambush in Runzhou will not have any effect at all.

"Brother Fan, do you have any good ideas?" Guo Rong was not ashamed to ask.

Fan Mengling's voice became a little quieter, and said: "A few days ago, Yang Lian had a private meeting with the envoy of Zhongwu Jiedu, and secretly thought that he could start from this aspect, and now after Yang Lian arrived in Yuhang, he did not move troops for a month. ”

Guo Rong thought about it carefully, he hated Yang Lian, he couldn't wait to get rid of him, as long as there was any chance, he would never give up, nodded immediately, and talked to Fan Mengling for a while, and finally finalized the matter, Guo Rong asked Fan Mengling about the inn where he lived, stood up, and hurriedly left, he was going to find someone to plan this matter.

Fan Mengling sent Guo Rong away, and Fan Zanshi walked in and said, "Dad, did King Jin agree?" ”

"Now it is a combination of two benefits, and a division of two harms, the king of Jin is a hero, how can he not see the pros and cons. Looking at the situation, he seems to have some way, as long as he can let the Tang Dynasty know Yang Lian's sins, no matter whether he is to blame or not, this news will reach Yang Lian's ears, and at that time, he will definitely make mistakes under pressure. Fan Mengling said.

"Daddy is wise." Fan Zanshi said, patting the ass silently.

Fan Mengling couldn't find a better way for a while, so she could only pin her hopes on Guo Rong first. After talking with Guo Rong for a long time today, he was thinking, perhaps, he could defect to Guo Rong in the future, after all, Wu Yueguo has always served the Central Plains Dynasty as Zhengshuo, even if he wants to serve the Great Zhou, it is reasonable.

At this time, Fan Mengling remembered that he had come to eat, and after talking with Guo Rong for a while, he actually forgot to eat, so he told Fan Zanshi to order a few side dishes and eat first.
