If you talk about the geographical location, the eastward past Pi County is Tancheng, on the open plain, there is a team of chariots and horses to travel. Two big carts and a team of more than 100 riders dragged and dragged for a long time.

The low hill covered with peach forests on the front half of the slope was a peripheral guard post of the Tancheng Wandering People's Army. Several horsemen galloped down from the low hill and pressed on the chariot and horse.

Here also galloped out a few horses, shouting: "I am ordered by the governor of Jianghuai to come to Tancheng to meet the left guard of the heavenly jacket and discuss the matter of stopping the war, but are you the outpost sent by General Chen to greet you?" ”

Just as Liu An'er asked for a price and wanted to divide the four prefectures of Huaisi to stand on their own, Yue Lengqiu insisted that Chen Hansan lead his troops to withdraw from Tancheng before talking about Zhao'an.

Liu An'er was based in Xuzhou, Yue Lengqiu led the Changhuai army to retreat to the east bank of Surabaya to set up camp, and Pixian and Tancheng in the east were occupied by Chen Hansan.

Yue Lengqiu's decree asked Chen Hansan to lead his troops to withdraw from Tancheng and Pixian first, which was not too much.

The exile army fighting in Huaisi was headed by Liu An'er, but it was actually divided into two groups, one was Liu An'er's army, and the other was Ge Pingtian's army. Chen Hansan originally invested in Liu An'er, and he had to lead the army to the east alone, becoming the left protector of the Heavenly Jacket Army, and his status was relatively special.

Tancheng, Shuyang, and Pixian are all places where Liu An'er wants to take. Even if Tancheng and Shuyang can't come, Pi County, as the eastern shield of Xuzhou, is a must.

Liu An'er planned to station soldiers and horses in Pi County in the future, and did not want to occupy Chen Hansan, thinking that one or two counties in the north would be cut out for Chen Hansan to defend in the future, but this could not be said now.

Yue Lengqiu proposed that Chen Hansan lead his troops to withdraw from Tancheng and Pixian first, and Liu An'er did not resolutely oppose it, but asked Yue Lengqiu to send someone to negotiate with Chen Hansan, so such a chariot and horse team appeared on the west border of Tancheng.

"Who is taking the lead?" The general of the Wandering People's Army drove his horse, whirled around on the overgrown official road, and looked at the chariot and horse team.

"This official is the governor of Jianghuai who participates in the military king's government, dare to ask the name and surname of this general?" An official in a lake-blue official robe lifted the curtain and leaned out half of his body.

"Give you corrupt officials and corrupt officials who are forced to have no food to eat, haha, how can you have a name?" The general of the Wandering People's Army laughed, arrogantly and rudely did not report his surname, pointed at Wang Zheng with Ma Shao, and said, "It seems that you are the leader, you are allowed to take two followers with us, and everyone else will stay here......

"What! Licentious! Seeing that the leader of the bandits was so rude, the cavalry captain in charge of the accompanying escort withdrew his waist knife in his hand and glared angrily, "My lord came to recruit you and give you a way to live." Are you tired of eating leopard gall, and dare to be rude to my family? Do you believe that my family immediately returned to Pixian County and led a large army to wipe out the bandits who were waiting for you and Tancheng? ”

"Adults eat with knives and guns in their hands, you have the ability to suppress it, even if you lead a large army to suppress it, we are waiting here, grandpa frowned and is the turtle grandson," the general of the exile army was not annoyed or angry, but just stood in front of the road and said, "But I'm sorry today, only three of you are allowed to go over, otherwise please go back." ”

"You ......" The guard riding school was so angry that a Buddha ascended to heaven, and he couldn't scold without scolding.

"How am I?" The generals of the Wandering People's Army turned their noses to the sky and disdained the officers and soldiers.

"Okay, let's go over with the three of us, and bother the general to send a coachman to help us catch the car." Wang Zheng said loudly in the carriage behind, lifting the curtain of the car, so that the general of the Wandering Army could see that in addition to him, there were two people sitting in the carriage.

"Thieves are capricious, adults must not take risks rashly!" The guard riding school said anxiously.

"We have our own measure," Wang Zheng said, "When we enter Tancheng, there are righteous soldiers who take good care of us, there are more than you 100 people, less than you 100 people, there is no difference!" ”

The escort of the brigade stopped at the west of the dwarf hill and waited, and more than 100 cavalry of the rogue army galloped out from behind the low hill and entered Tancheng in a carriage carrying the envoys of the Jianghuai Governor's Mansion for peace talks.

****************

Since talking about Zhao'an, Chen Hansan has withdrawn the camp of Narrow Bridge and gathered troops in Tancheng.

Chen Hansan didn't want to express any sincerity, but he was more wary.

Lin Jian opened the blockade of Surabaya, and let Sun Zhuang's troops cross Surabaya and Zhang Gou to lead his troops to Siyang, but continued to blockade Chen Han's three troops on the east bank.

Chen Hansan would not fail to see that his troops were actually alone on the east bank of the Surabaya River, and he had divided his troops in several places in the east of Surabaya, and the Narrow Bridge battalion was in the middle of Shuyang and Shukou.

In case Zhao'an is a trap, this situation is dangerous.

Therefore, Chen Hansan gave up the camp of the narrow bridge, except for guarding Pi County all the way, the main force was concentrated in Tancheng.

In case something happens, the soldiers and horses are in their own hands, and it is easy to get out.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather became cooler, and Chen Hansan rarely took off his armor, changed into a robe, and stood in front of a rockery made of lake stones in the back garden.

This is the Tancheng Duting Station, where King Ning settled when he went to Jiangning to settle down. This is not the most luxurious mansion in Tancheng, just because King Ning has lived in it, he feels that it is of great significance, and Chen Hansan specially takes this place as his own line.

Strategist Ma Zhen hurriedly walked through the moon gate and came in to say: "The envoy sent by Yue Lengqiu has already entered the city, and the leader is the military and royal government of the Governor's Palace, and he is a five-grade official, and his origin is not small-do you want to make it difficult for them again?" ”

"I had the dismount before, but I couldn't drive them away, it seems that there is sincerity in talking, and I can't really drive them away." Chen Hansan said, "I personally went to pick them up and brought them to the house. At home, the generals who were free came to the banquet. You tell everyone to keep their mouths clean and not to spray feces outside when they are eating. Whoever wants to spoil my good deeds, I will be the first to spare him. When eating, you talk to Wang Zheng's two entourages more, and inquire about what Wang Zheng is good about, and give him everything that Tancheng can have, not to lose this benefit, and you must dig out their bottom line. ”

"The Left Protector is wise." Ma Zhen said.

Ma Zhen turned around and went out to run errands, and Chen Hansan took Hu Cong to the long street to personally greet the messenger sent by Yue Lengqiu.

At night, a banquet was set up in the garden behind the line, and the generals accompanied him.

The cups came and went, and there were singing and dancing during the banquet, and the Zhao'an envoy Wang Zheng and the two servants quickly forgot the unhappiness before entering Tancheng, and drank heartily, very happy, but they didn't talk about the matter of Zhao'an and peace.

In the middle of the night, the garden banquet was not dispersed, Wang Zheng and the two servants put their minds on the charming and light skirt dancer in their arms, touching and pinching, which made the dancers in their arms laugh again and again, and also made the generals in the banquet impetuous, and their hearts were unbearable. It's just that there are only a limited number of dancers at the banquet, and besides, these dancers are Chen Hansan's forbidden belly, and they can be used to feast guests, but their subordinate generals have to know the proportions.

The banquet seemed to be going on indefinitely, but Chen Hansan couldn't hold his breath at first, and he was secretly anxious, giving Ma Zhen a look.

Ma Zhen comprehended and said to Wang Zheng, the envoy of Zhao'an: "Governor Yue is in Pi County, and it is very urgent to urge our army to withdraw from Tancheng, but seeing that Lord Wang is coming, it seems that he is not in a hurry, so Ma Zhen is a little confused......"

"Don't worry, don't worry," Wang Zheng was just in his early thirties, with a short mustache, and the official robe was pasted for the soup, but he didn't mind, he hugged the slender waist of the dancer in his arms and touched it, feeling the delicate skin, and only after hearing Ma Zhen say this, he was distracted and responded, "The left protector is so generous, and he has invited so many generals to accompany him, and he is accompanied by beautiful women, so it is only appropriate to talk about Fengyue, and it is too bad to talk about official affairs." The matter of soliciting peace and negotiating peace will not be hindered by talking about it two days later. ”

Chen Hansan understood that this Wang Zheng thought that there were too many people here, so he drank all of them, so he asked the generals to disperse first, leaving only Ma Zhen and two cronies to continue to accompany him during the banquet.

At this time, a middle-aged Hu Cong who followed Wang Zheng into Tancheng pushed the dancer in his arms away, and stared at Chen Hansan: "Staying here, are all people that the Left Protector can trust?" ”

Chen Hansan asked several dancing girls to retreat, glanced at Wang Zheng, the servant, and didn't pay much attention to him at first, but when he saw him talking, he felt that he had an extraordinary bearing, and his appearance was quite familiar, and said: "They are all brothers who were born and died with me, what secrets can't be heard?" Dare to ask the name of this gentleman, have we seen it before? ”

"The left guard has been fighting with my family commander for so long, but he didn't inquire about my family's appearance?" Wang Zheng laughed beside him.

"What!" Chen Hansan's color changed in shock, and he subconsciously pulled out the saber at his waist and placed it in front of him, and the two generals on the left and right stood up in shock, as if Yue Lengqiu led thousands of troops and horses to attack, causing their expressions to collapse.

Yue Lengqiu calmly picked up the light jade cup on the table, slowly drank the wine inside, and then said: "I have admired the Left Protector for a long time, and I rushed to Tancheng to meet the Zuo Protector in the name of peace talks. If it's really better to see than to hear, the real heroes and heroes of the Left Guardian Army are also ......"

Only then did Chen Hansan realize that he had overreacted, put the knife back into the sheath, squinted at Yue Lengqiu's face, and argued in detail, the middle-aged man in front of him was really exactly the same as the rumored appearance of Yue Lengqiu, the governor of Jianghuai.

Chen Hansan didn't blame Ma Zhen for not finding out his identity earlier, who would have thought that Yue Lengqiu, the governor of Jianghuai, would disguise himself as his subordinate to enter Tancheng? Even if someone saw the suspicion of his appearance earlier, I am afraid that he would be the first to deny this possibility.

Yue Lengqiu's words were beautiful, but Chen Hansan was shocked and suspicious, he was not a three-year-old child, how could he believe that Yue Lengqiu had entered Tancheng in order to see him, so he disguised himself as a servant of his officials.

"Although Tancheng is not a Longtan tiger's den, Yue Du can break in person, he is a real hero and a real hero," Chen Hansan laughed, wanting to cover up the gaffe just now, "But Yue Du also knows Han San's temperament, maybe there is a gap between him and the real hero and true hero in Yue Du's eyes, isn't Yue Du afraid that it is easy to get in and difficult to get out?" ”

"I'm here to save your life, and I'll give you another rich road to go, why should the Left Protector stay in trouble for me?" Yue Lengqiu asked rhetorically.

"Yue Du's words are good," Chen Hansan said, "I have lived all these years, and I only know that my life is earned by myself, and wealth cannot be forced, I don't know how Yue Du saved my life, and how to give me a way to wealth and wealth?" ”
