Loushanguan.
After returning to the General's Mansion in Guannei, Luo Xingchen looked at the mountains of documents and shook his head.
No choice, official duties still have to be taken care of.
Nowadays, things in Loushanguan are complicated and cannot be managed by just attacking. Everything must be handled carefully.
About an hour later, Luo Xingchen rubbed his forehead and stood up.
In the living room, Jiao Feilong was already waiting.
Jiao Feilong is the chief of the Keqing Courtyard in Bozhou. He now represents the entire Keqing Courtyard, so Luo Xingchen cannot neglect him.
Luo Xingchen opened the door from the side and walked into the living room.
"General, I have something to say."
Jiao Feilong stood up and got straight to the point.
Luo Xingchen nodded and asked Jiao Feilong to sit down and speak slowly.
"Wei Lingxiao contacted Han Xiezi, the governor of Yuanjing City, and Han was willing to submit to the imperial court." Jiao Feilong explained his intention in one sentence.
"How could Han Xiezi surrender to the imperial court? Didn't he promise to resist to the end?"
Luo Xingchen frowned.
Near Yilong City, there are two larger cities on the left and right, namely Vision City and Longquan City.
These two cities are equivalent to the two gateways of Yilong City, forming a "pin" shape with Yilong City, so that they can look out for each other and help each other. In peacetime, the three cities echo each other and form a city group, so that there is Conducive to economic development.
During the war, the three cities can support each other. If you want to capture Yilong City, you must first capture Vision City and Longquan City.
Otherwise, if they take a detour to attack Yilong City, they may be attacked from the front and rear by the armies of Yuanjing City and Longquan City. In this way, the possibility of failure is high.
"Han Xiezi is a smart man. Yang Yuanhua has already fled to Hongye Pass. Why is he trying so hard?"
Jiao Feilong said.
"Yes, Han Xiezi has been in power for many years and has made enough money. As long as he keeps his life, even if he cannot be an official in the future, he will still be a rich man and his good life will not be lost."
Luo Xingchen said.
From a personal point of view, he dislikes such so-called smart people.
Follow whichever side is strong, feng shui falls on both sides, and there is no persistence or belief.
How can such a person be trusted?
But from the court's point of view, it is precisely the existence of such so-called people who "know the current affairs" that will reduce a lot of killings, and many ordinary people can survive.
Therefore, he is still willing to accept those who surrender.
This also gives a signal to the other side. You see, even people like Han Xiezi can save their lives and wealth by submitting to the court. What do the rest of the people have to worry about? Once things are done, they can just surrender.
"How to deal with it, General, you decide."
Jiao Feilong said.
"Okay, you go contact him."
As for the worry that Han Xiezi would pretend to surrender, there is no need to put it on the table, as long as you are prepared behind the scenes.
…
"Is this a place of seclusion?"
The Crown Prince Yang Xinqi looked at the mist-shrouded mountain peaks ahead and gasped.
In the Prince's Mansion, Yang Xinqi was pampered and had always been in poor health. This time when he entered the deep mountains, he had to climb many places by himself. As a result, he had suffered a lot. Now that he saw the mountains ahead, his mentality was a bit... Some breakdown.
Because he was running to death while looking at the mountain. The peaks in front of him seemed to be in front of him. If he really wanted to cross them, he would not know how long it would take. He felt like he was about to faint. How would he climb over the mountains next?
"Yes, Your Majesty, the place ahead is where our ancestors stay. It is a geomantic treasure."
Standing next to him was Mo Hanxiao, the leader of the bodyguards who was a military general. He was strong and energetic after walking so many mountainous roads, which was in sharp contrast to the frail appearance of the crown prince Yang Xinqi.
"Old Mo, look at me, I really can't walk anymore. If I keep walking, I'm going to die here."
The prince found a stone and sat down directly.
"Your Majesty, we can't stop. As you know, our ancestors value this very much. If the descendants of the future generation can't walk on any mountain road, why are they coming here... These are the original words of our ancestors."
Mo Hanxiao said hurriedly.
He didn't mean to make the crown prince Yang Xinqi suffer...he didn't have the guts.
This is the request of the ancestors. If you want to see him, you must at least come by yourself. If you rely on others to carry you here, the ancestors will get angry and will really drive them away.
If the ancestors couldn't invite him, the Yang family in Banzhou might be wiped out. Who would take the blame? Anyway, he, Mo Hanxiao, is just a rough guy and can't afford it.
"Okay, then I'll hold on a little longer."
The Crown Prince Yang Xinqi sighed.
In fact, he didn't know what his ancestor meant.
He just couldn't hold on and subconsciously wanted to find an excuse, but in fact, he knew it well.
No matter what, he had to bite the bullet.
However, he would stop to take a break and drink some water every time he walked.
The dangers that appeared along the road were all solved by Mo Hanxiao and the guards who followed him. He only had to be responsible for walking. If he couldn't walk through it, he would not only fail to pass the test of his ancestors, but also himself. Look down on yourself.
"In front is Danxia Pavilion."
Mo Han roared.
The crown prince Yang Xinqi looked around and saw a pavilion between the clouds and mist. It was beautifully built and shrouded in the clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
He walked over, entered the pavilion, and looked to the side.
It was evening at this time, and a patch of glow could be seen from the side.
"No wonder it's called Danxia Pavilion. This pavilion is very artistic." The Crown Prince Yang Xinqi took a deep breath. He was very tired physically, but he was still in good spirits.
"Our ancestors built it many years ago." Mo Hanxiao said softly.
It was the first time for the crown prince Yang Xinqi to come to Danxia Pavilion, but it was not the first time for Mo Hanxiao. He had often escorted various materials into the mountains before.
Although the ancestor lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, all kinds of food and clothing were still brought in from outside. Therefore, the ancestor Yang was not a real hermit.
"My ancestor was a scholar. He couldn't stand the darkness of the court in his early years, so he resigned now." Yang Xinqi, the eldest son, said.
"Ancestors are like heavenly beings, ordinary people cannot compare to them."
Mo Hanxiao said this, but he didn't think so in his heart.
He had met the ancestor of the Yang family more than once.
This person has a strong ambition for fame and fortune. In his early years, his so-called seclusion in the mountains and forests was just a way to retreat. Later, when he got older, he really didn't want to get involved with the outside world and just wanted to enjoy life in the mountains and forests.
"Old Mo, let's go down and see our ancestors."
The Crown Prince Yang Xinqi stayed in Danxia Pavilion for a while. After sighing for a while, he got up and walked out of the pavilion after his body recovered a little.
Behind him, a dozen guards quickly followed.
The road going down from the pavilion is well built and is a wide flat road that can pass horse-drawn carriages.
The Crown Prince Yang Xinqi walked for a while, and when he turned a corner, he saw a building in front of him.
