Under the marriage agreement, Liu Pinglan is naturally in a good mood. First, it is indeed rare to be able to marry someone you like and who you like, in this era of paying attention to the life of parents, the words of matchmakers, and even not knowing what the other party looks like. Second, being able to marry a great and high-ranking official like Qian Yuanshan, who has great military achievements and is a high-ranking official, may become a general from the dragon in the future, is also a good marriage that many women dream of. Therefore, Liu Pinglan is not only happy, but also full of longing and expectations for her future.

As the other party to the marriage contract, Qian Yuanshan's mood is also getting better and better, no longer frustrated and decadent at the beginning, but has become energetic and morale-high. Not only did he do a conscientious job in assisting Zhang Weixin and Xu Shaoan in presiding over Jinghu affairs, but he also took the initiative to ask Zhang and Xu to personally lead the army to exterminate bandits in Hunan. After obtaining the approval of Zhang Weixin and Xu Shao'an, together with Xu Shao'an, Zeng Zhilin, and a group of senior officers, in view of the specific situation of bandits in Hunan, taking into account their own superiority in equipment, training, and morale, as well as the favorable conditions that some local soldiers and horses have been reorganized and can be used in anti-bandit operations, and on the basis of drawing on some experiences in suppressing bandits and anti-guerrilla warfare in their previous lives, they established the policy of dividing into different areas, attacking from multiple routes with small units (about 1,000 people), and using scattered to scattered bandits. A set of effective anti-bandit jihua was worked out, and immediately began to implement it.

Correct strategy and tactics, strong strength of soldiers and horses, proper command of the commanders and generals, coupled with the general environment of people's minds, made the new round of anti-bandit operations that began at the end of November and early December of the 10th lunar calendar of Xiande proceeded very smoothly, and it took only two short months to reach the middle of February of the first year of Jianlong (the end of December of the 10th lunar calendar of Xiande, and the later Zhou court issued an order to change the 11th year of Xiande to the first year of Jianlong) in the middle of February of the lunar calendar, except for a few stubborn bandits who hid in the deep mountains and old forests, the banditry in the entire Jinghu area has been basically quelled. The situation was thoroughly stabilized.

Compared with Liu Pinglan and Qian Yuanshan, the mood of Zhang Fei and Zhang Yan's brothers and sisters can be said to be extremely bad. On the one hand, with the change of the tactics of the Jinghu garrison to suppress bandits, and with the addition of a large number of local soldiers and horses who were familiar with the terrain, those rebels who originally relied on favorable geographical conditions to fight with the bandits and counterinsurgency soldiers and horses, and used the whole to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the army, no longer had the advantage of being divided and rounded up by the officials and troops, and were eliminated one by one. Not only did the huge amount of money and effort spent by the Zhang brothers and sisters to incite this rebellion go down the drain, but in the process of encirclement and suppression, some of the "Feiyantang" spies who participated in the rebel ranks were killed under the swords and guns of the official army. On the other hand, as more and more agents from the Ministry of Intelligence ("Dark Feather") entered the land of Jinghu, the situation of the Zhang brothers and sisters and the remnants of the "Feiyantang" under them became more and more dangerous. If it weren't for the genuine "temporary residence permit" issued by the Langzhou Yamen in their hands, I am afraid that their brothers and sisters would have been taken away for interrogation by the spies of "Dark Feather". Rao is like this, and the brother and sister still feel the aura of danger.

It's just that danger is danger, and he is absolutely unwilling to let his brother and sister leave Langzhou or even Jinghu now. According to Zhang Fei, although his previous actions caused some trouble to the Chai Zhou court and the Beiping army's control of Jinghu, in the end, they only slowed down the other party's progress for about half a year, which was far from his original plan. If you leave now, you are really a little unwilling. Therefore, whether it is Zhang Fei or Zhang Yan, all they want at this time is to create some more incidents, add some trouble to the Chai Zhou court and the Beiping army, and then leave when the other party is in a hurry. As for what kind of trouble to add to the Chai Zhou court and the Beiping army, the brother and sister invariably stared at Liu Pinglan. First, his brother and sister have a life-saving grace for Liu Pinglan, and they have some business cooperation with their uncle, and the other party has no defense against him. Second, now that Liu Pinglan is engaged to Qian Yuanshan, one of the "Qingyuan" brothers, she can use this condition to try to get close to the senior officials of the Beiping Army. At that time, no matter what they do, their influence will expand rapidly because they involve high-ranking officials of the Beiping Army, which is far more effective than gathering stragglers to rebel and harass those remote prefectures and counties.

Originally, according to the Zhang family's brother and sister, Jihua planned to use his relationship with Liu Pinglan to get close to Qian Yuanshan, and then when the other party was defenseless, the dead soldiers sent by him suddenly attacked him. At that time, whether or not you can kill Qian Yuanshan, it will cause an uproar in the land of Jinghu. You must know that since the "Qingyuan" brothers have been worshipped, although they have experienced many dangers, difficulties, and big battles like the Battle of Youyun, among their brothers, except for Fan Wucheng, who died in the hands of their own people, the others have not even suffered a little skin injury, which can be called smooth sailing and safe journey. In this case, if a brother is injured or even killed, it is impossible to say that the other "Qingyuan" brothers will be furious and furious, and finally vent their anger on those local officials in Langzhou and even the entire Jinghu land. And once the "Qingyuan" brothers take out anger on local officials, it will inevitably cause a backlash and resistance from the other party. As the saying goes, "a strong dragon is hard to suppress the head snake", no matter how strong the Beiping army is, it will not be easy to defeat those local officials who have been officials in Jinghu for many years and have deep connections. At that time, the land of Jinghu will be completely in chaos, and its purpose will be achieved.

However, not long after the assassination of Qian Yuanshan's Jihua began, with a message coming at the end of the second lunar month of the first year of Jianlong, the Zhang brothers and sisters decided to change their goals. Because Liu Pinglan inadvertently told them during a casual chat that in order to commend her fiancé Jun and several brothers such as Zhang Weixin, Xu Shaoan, Zeng Zhilin, as well as local officials, including her uncle, for completely quelling the rebellion in Jinghu, their fourth brother, Song Guogong, the Taishi of the inspection school, the Tongping Zhangshi, the palace front Sidu Dianjian, the general of the Zuo Wei, and the Beiping military festival envoy Wang Kunjun will arrive in Langzhou on the tenth day of the third month of the lunar calendar to comfort the four brothers and local officials in Jinghu and reward the three armies.

After learning that Wang Kunjun was coming to the land of Jinghu, the Zhang brothers and sisters almost immediately did not hesitate to turn the target of assassination from Qian Yuanshan to Wang Kunjun. In their opinion, if they can successfully assassinate Wang Kunjun, the impact will spread from the land of Jinghu to the entire Chai Zhou, and even shake the world. At that time, not only will the land of Jinghu be completely chaotic, but I am afraid that the entire Chai Zhou court will fall into turmoil, and it will even collapse like the previous Liang, Tang, Jin, and Han dynasties, and be replaced by others. In this way, not only can their brothers and sisters sleep in peace in the south of the Yangtze River, but when the time is ripe, they will join the new monarch in the north and reproduce the past glory of "Feiyantang". Therefore, such a good opportunity must be seized and used well no matter what.
