Chapter 434 The approaching Huaizhou strategy has been decided

slippery state.

It is close to the big river, located in the center of the Central Plains.When Li Mi, Wang Shichong and others were still alive, they fought many battles around Huazhou.Occasionally Dou Jiande wants to go south, and sometimes he will use this place.

With the pacification of Hebei, the strategic position of Huazhou declined sharply, and the soldiers and horses in the hands of the governor Du Caiqian were also cut by the court again and again.In the not-too-distant future, the governor of Huazhou will be abolished, and the governor will be replaced to govern the place.

And this was something Du Caicai couldn't accept.

Back then, he was also a member of the Wagang Uprising, and he was the humerus general beside Li Mi.Later, Li Mi was defeated, and Du Caiqian returned to Wang Shichong.

This is the dividing point for Wagang's old generals. For example, Qin Qiong and others directly surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, while Du Caigan first surrendered to Wang Shichong.

At this time, the crown prince Qin Wang was fighting within the Tang court. He secretly joined the East Palace with his soldiers and won the support of Li Jiancheng, so he was able to secure his position as the governor of Huazhou.

But as the news of the Wannian Palace change spread throughout the world, Du Caiqian could not accept the cruel fact of the crown prince's defeat.

At this time, Li Xiaochang sent someone to contact him, wanting to raise troops to serve the king and revive the court.

He said yes!

People make money and birds die for food, and the world is in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, which is a situation of dividing interests.He was born in the concubine of Jingzhao Du's family. His name is aristocrat, but he is from a poor family, so he can only be sent to the army.Originally, he thought that Li Mi, who was born in Guanlong, would succeed, but he failed.Later, he felt that Wang Shichong could make things happen, so he followed Wang Shichong and married Fan Yang Lu's daughter with Wang Shichong's help, but later Wang Shichong lost again!

For the third time, he took refuge in Li Jiancheng.This time, he felt that he would succeed, because Li Tang would definitely rule the world, and Li Jiancheng, as the heir of the East Palace, would definitely ascend the throne as emperor in the future.

The most important thing is that Li Jiancheng has few generals under him, and the East Palace is his best stage to play.

But he never expected that the certainty of the matter would fail!

The prince was murdered for rebellion, and the king of Qi bestowed him with death. In the end, the one who got the upper hand was the king of Chu, Li Zhiyun!
Any prince who got cheap, he would think twice about treason, but only Li Zhiyun, he couldn't tolerate it.

In fact, he and Li Zhiyun have no enmity, and they don't even know each other.However, the relationship between him and the old general Wagang in Shence Mansion is very bad!

These past events are a long story. In short, Du Caiqian and Xu Shiji have a good relationship. He heard from Xu Shiji that Qin Qiong and others took refuge in Li Tang back then because of Li Junxian's persuasion.This made him very unhappy, obviously everyone is a brother, why did you have a choice but didn't tell me, but left me alone.

Because of this, after surrendering to Datang, he never contacted Qin Qiong and others.

Even Huang Junhan, the governor of Huaizhou, didn't contact him.

Putting down the letter, Du Caiqian exhaled softly and rubbed his eyelids.

"Go down and get ready."

"Yes." The staff and lieutenants bowed their hands and retreated.

He lit the letter that Li Xiaochang gave him on the candle, threw it on the ground, and watched the letter burn to ashes.

After a while, Mrs. Lu walked into the study from the wall.

This woman was born in the southern ancestral house of the Lu family in Fanyang. Her grandfather Lu Kai was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the former Sui Dynasty. Her father Lu Fashou was Sima of Sizhou.

Lu Congbi has a beautiful face, with a thin waist and fat hips, and an upright figure. Especially, this woman's breasts are abnormally plump.

Historically, this woman was Li Zhi's nanny.

"Madam is here." Du Caiqian stood up to greet her.

Lu Congbi nodded slightly, and asked, "Husband wants to make trouble?"

"How did Madam know?" Du Caigan was surprised.

"Recently, the people who communicated with my husband are all generals from Huazhou. Since Hebei was pacified, the Central Plains has returned to stability, and there is almost no chance of mobilizing troops. What is the use of my husband summoning generals?"

"As expected of Madam." Du Caiqian asked, "Madam, do you want to stop me from becoming a husband?"

Lu Congbi asked: "I want to know, why did your husband make such a fuss?"

Du Caiqian paced back and forth a little, and said, "Madam must know the news about the change in the Wannian Palace."

Lu Congbi nodded slightly. Who doesn't know about such a big matter, after all, it was the prince of a country who conspired against him.

Du Caiqian said: "Back then, my husband was able to join the prince's family and secure his position as governor of Huazhou. Thanks to Mr. Lu's help and bridge, now the prince is killed by a traitor and Mr. Lu is exiled. How can I turn a blind eye to it? In order to return the crown prince's innocence, I will return the court as a saint."

Lu Gong, that is, the crown prince led Gengling, Fanyang County Duke, Lu Chisong.

Although Lu Chisong was born in the direct line of the Northern Ancestor Dafang, and Lu Congbi was born in the Southern Ancestral House, they cannot write two characters of Lu in one stroke.Du Caiqian is in charge of the army, because the crown prince urgently needs someone, so Lu Chisong is naturally willing to win over this Lu's son-in-law.

Lu Congbi didn't believe Du Caiqian's words.With her wisdom of reading poetry and books, how can she not understand that Du Caiqian is probably worried that the court will liquidate the old ministers of the East Palace and make trouble for him.

As for Du Cai's greater ambition, Lu Congbi didn't want to think about it.

"Are you sure?"

Du Cai said: "Madam, you don't have to worry about these things, you just take care of Da Lang."

Hearing this, Lu Congbi didn't ask any more questions, turned around and went down.

Huaizhou, Hanoi.

"Old Huang, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are quite plump. I heard that you married two concubines again. You kid didn't realize it. When you were in Wagang, you looked like a dog, but now your true colors are revealed."

Cheng Yaojin put his arms around Huang Junhan, reminiscing about the old days carelessly.

Su Lie at the side rolled his eyes, don't use words if he doesn't know how to use them, it will hurt the ears of those who listen.

When he was in Wagang, Cheng Yaojin was famous for his popularity.

why?

Because he is fond of wine, gambling, and lust, and no man can be exempt from these three things.

Even for a gentleman like Qin Qiong, that's quite a drink.

In addition, Cheng Yaojin has a high emotional intelligence, so he can chat with anyone.

Therefore, basically the former general of Wagang didn't have any grievances with him, and the relationship was very good.

Huang Junhan was speechless: "His Royal Highness Chu entrusted you with such a heavy responsibility, and you will tell me these things as soon as we meet. Aren't you afraid that His Highness Chu will blame you for not doing things well?"

He knew Cheng Yaojin's temper, so he didn't feel that this kid was deliberately soliciting connections.

"There is an errand to be done, so don't let me talk. Your Highness is not as persnickety as you think." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and didn't care.

Huang Junhan shook his head and said, "Let's talk about business."

"All right." Cheng Yaojin nodded and asked, "How much do you know about Huazhou's military strength?"

"Not many, it should be about the same as Huaizhou, around [-], even if Du Caiqian temporarily recruits soldiers, with Huaizhou's people's strength, there can be more than [-] troops at most."

When it comes to Du Caiqian, Huang Junhan is inexplicable.

The other party used to be a brother who ate in a pot.

Cheng Yaojin was as careful as a hair, and noticed Huang Junhan's strange tone, so he said: "Okay, don't hurt the spring and the autumn, that kid Du Caigan wants to die by himself, why do you sigh for him?"

"Which ear of yours heard me sigh." Huang Junhan was speechless again.

He was just feeling it.

Su Lie asked, "What about Weizhou?"

"Weizhou." Huang Junhan said with a strange expression: "With me stationed in Huaizhou, Weizhou actually doesn't have many garrison troops, if the local government officials count."

Having said this, Su Lie understood, rolled his eyes, and thought about it.

"Attack the weak and the strong, encircle them, separate the two places, and cut off the connection with the river, so that Du Cai can be isolated and helpless. In this way, Du Ni can be imprisoned. After Xuzhou soldiers and horses are inserted, our army can cross the river and attack the white horse. Straight through Huazhou!"

Huang Junhan was frightened inwardly, this son has such a powerful plan.

"As you said, this campaign will be in Weizhou."

"I would like to lead an army of [-], sneak into Weizhou, and capture Changsun Anye alive."

Huang Junhan asked: "So, what will Du Caiqian do if he leads an army to attack Zhengzhou?"

"Isn't that self-defeating? If he dares to leave Huazhou, I'll cross the river and attack the white horse. In this way, his retreat will be cut off. General Cheng will send troops to Zhengzhou. He will have no way to go to heaven or to earth." Su Lie smiled.

Hearing this, Huang Junhan understood.

Cheng Yaojin laughed, "Old Huang, don't worry, His Highness has already made arrangements."

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll take care of you two."

Su Lie and Cheng Yaojin clasped their fists together, "Let's encourage each other."
