After another two days, the gate of the hospital was still closed.

In addition, the news of the fall of Changsha Mansion gradually spread, and the entire city of Beijing fell into an unprecedented depressing atmosphere.

Xu Song hadn't gone home for three days, Xu He was worried about his uncle's health, and followed Xu Peng to the palace gate to wait for two days.

They didn't dare to approach the palace gate, so they could only stay outside.

Finally, on the third day, Xu Song came out of the palace with a heavy heart.

Seeing Xu He, he beckoned and said, "Let's go back and talk about it." ”

Xu He followed Xu Song into the carriage, and Xu Peng followed on horseback behind.

In the carriage, Xu He took out the warm water he had been preparing and dipped his hand towel to wipe Xu Song's face.

Xu Song's face was very tired, and he knew that he had not rested well in the past three days.

When he arrived at the house, when Xu Peng went to arrange the meal, Xu Song called Xu He to his side and said, "The results of tomorrow's exam should come out!" ”

Although the trial court was isolated from internal and external traffic, the emperor was still able to contact Wu Xingbang in the trial court.

It is estimated that the situation has not been very good recently, and Emperor Zhizheng also felt that the two people in the cabinet were not enough, so he sent a lieutenant to urge him.

But today is thirteen days before the end of the exam, and it stands to reason that the time is about the same.

At this time, Xu He asked the question he was most worried about in the past two days: "Uncle, how is the situation in Changsha Mansion now?" What happened to the two Tan Kings and Ji Kings? ”

The two vassal kings of Tan and Ji died or not, Xu He didn't care.

But their identity is too important, and if they are captured or killed, the impact will be too bad.

Xu Song shook his head: "I'm not dead, I just received the news that the two princes fled to Hengzhou Mansion with their families when the thieves first arrived in Baoqing Mansion." ”

Baoqing Mansion is the Shaoyang of Hunan in later generations, and Hengzhou Mansion is naturally Hengyang City.

Shaoyang is to the west of Changsha, and Hengzhou is to the south of Changsha.

These three places are actually in the shape of a regular triangle.

These two princes are also wonderful people.

The thieves are still in Shaoyang, so they have a hunch that the thieves will not go to Hengyang, but will go straight to Changsha.

I have to say that the two Taiping princes are a bit brainy when they encounter something.

"As long as the two vassal kings are fine, then things will be easier!" Xu He said with a sigh of relief.

Xu Song nodded.

If the two vassal kings really died, then someone in their cabinet would definitely take the blame!

"Is there any countermeasure now?" Xu He asked.

Xu Song nodded: "I suggest that Huguang Governor Che Chun lead troops to garrison Huangmei!" ”

Huangmei?

Xu He frowned, thought for a while, and then smiled: "Uncle is really a clever move!" ”

Originally, Huangmei was at the junction of Hubei, Jiangxi and Anhui provinces in the later generations, and was very close to the mouth of the lake, a strategic place of Jiujiangfu River.

If people who don't understand military affairs encounter the fall of Changsha, they will definitely have to transfer troops to Changsha to suppress it, but Xu Song fell first, but he cut off the route of Huguang's anti-thieves to the north first.

Aren't you going to Jiling Pass to join the thieves of Jiangxi and then go north?

Then I'll garrison your troops near the mouth of the lake first, and when I get the news, I'll block your way.

But that's not enough.

What if the thieves heard that there were soldiers and horses from the imperial court in Jiujiang, then they would either choose to continue north from the east bank of Poyang Lake, or recruit troops and horses in Changsha and not move?

So Xu Song first planted the centaurs in Huangmei.

Near can go south to Yuezhou to coerce the thieves in Changsha.

The east can control the mouth of the lake to prevent thieves from entering the Yangtze River from Poyang Lake.

The north can also monitor the upcoming battle of Lengshuiguan, and count it in one fell swoop.

"Uncle is really old in soldiers, and my nephew admires it!" Xu He was convinced.

Xu Song shook his head and said: "This is also a helpless move for me, others are unreliable, only Che Chun is still a soldier." I can only use him! ”

"Che Chun? Governor of Huguang? Uncle knows him well? Xu He asked.

Xu Song nodded: "Che Chun is your grandfather's student!" ”

"Oh?" Xu He looked at Xu Song in surprise, he really didn't know that Xu Fan's students had now achieved the position of a provincial feudal official.

"Well, in fact, he is not a student, Che Chun is a native of Bailoushan, Shangyu, Zhejiang, the word Bingwen, when he was young, because he was squeezed out by his classmates and instructors in the county school, although his knowledge is good, he almost wants to lose the qualification of the county student."

"That year, your grandfather happened to be the deputy envoy of Zhejiang University, and when he was studying in Linxian County, he found that Che Chun's article was good, and he made up for Che Chun's life on the spot, and punished three instructors of the county school, and squeezed out twelve county students of Che Chun."

"From then on, until Che Chun was admitted to the Jinshi and watched the political and military department, Che Chun has always claimed to the outside world that your grandfather is his reborn parents, and he will be called a teacher for the rest of his life."

"Two years ago, he was appointed from the political envoy of Fujian Zuobu to the right deputy capital of the Jindu Procuratorate, the governor of Huguang, and the military affairs of Zanli!"

Xu He nodded, no wonder Xu Song's parent, Xu Feng, went to Fujian, it seems that Xu Song also wants his senior brother to take care of his son.

Officialdom, it's not all like that.

To put it bluntly, it's a dense web of relationships like spider webs.

From this Xu He, it can also be seen that this Che Chun may be Xu Song's supporter among the ministers.

Thinking of this, Xu He said: "Uncle, you have fallen out of the bureau, how should you arrange it in the bureau?" ”

Xu Song said: "I have ordered that the wolf soldiers in Guangxi follow the trail to chase the anti-thieves, as long as the other party leaves Changsha, they will be harassed immediately, and this group of people must not easily cross Liling and merge with the anti-thieves in Jiangxi!" ”

Xu He nodded and said: "Yuezhou, Chengui, Jingzhou, and Chenyuan are close to the four military roads to encircle Changsha, not to fall into the city, only to surround three missing one, forcing the thieves of Changsha not to stay in Changsha for a long time, otherwise they will be full of wings, and they will easily have one or two hundred thousand, and then the trouble will be big!" ”

Xu Song nodded: "That's what I arranged." ”

"But now there is a problem, this road between Liling and Zhuling Pass is the road of defeat that we left for the thieves, but I don't know which team to send!"

Xu He said with a smile: "Naturally, it is the Tusi soldiers in the area of Weiheyou County and Chaling in Yuanzhou, Jiangxi, as long as they have a lot of money, ......."

Halfway through his words, Xu He suddenly stopped.

Xu Song frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu He shook his head and said, "Uncle, where is Yutu?" ”

Xu Song knew that he must have thought of something again, and hurriedly asked someone to get the map from the study.

Xu He placed the picture on the table, followed the line between Changsha and Liling, and slid his fingers over it.

To go to Liling in Changsha, you must first go south through Shanhua, Xiangtan, and Zhuzhou, and then turn east to reach Liling.

There are waterways along the way, which is indeed very convenient and fast.

But if according to their own ideas, if the thieves go to the Zhuling Pass east of Liling to join the enemy in Jiangxi, and finally go north together, this ...... Isn't it taking off your pants and farting?

Thinking of this, he returned his fingers to Changsha Mansion, which actually has a river to the north......

That is the Liuyang water, that is, the Liuyang River in later generations, he first east and then north, and finally Dawei Mountain crossed the boundary of the governor of Huguang to reach ...... Jiangxi copper drum!

And the copper drum ...... To the north is Ningzhou, Wuning, Ruichang, Jiujiang!

Or take the repair water directly into Poyang Lake.

At that time, the soldiers in Jiangxi gathered in Yuanzhou, and they would .................. Fluttering?

Thinking of this, Xu He's forehead was sweating profusely!

"It's a pity that there is no picture of a tomato!

Interested readers may need to consult the map on their own!"
