October 3.

Wang Xiao supervised the battle, Qin Shanhu led his army to capture Hangzhou, and Northern Chu was a great victory. Cen Anguo, the governor of Zhejiang in Southern Chu, led his remnants to Zhoushan.

Wang Xiao told Qinshan Lake not to pursue, and stationed troops in Hangzhou, and acted as if he was weak afterwards.

On the other hand, there was news that Ying Sijie had fled to Fujian with Emperor Longchang of Southern Chu.

Wang Xiao heard the news and just calmly said: "Okay."

If Ma Chaoran and his son who fled to Zhoushan with Cen Anguo at this time learned about this, they would probably be very depressed and thought, "Why can Ying Sijie escape with the emperor, but we were attacked by the Northern Chu?"

Wang Xiao deliberately let Emperor Longchang run away.

This is his strategic intention, which is to defeat Cen Anguo first before attracting Zheng Zhilong to the north.

Why?

The reason is ridiculous, because if Zheng Zhilong wants to join forces with Cen Anguo, it will not be evenly matched.

This is the virtue of these warlords. Only when they confirm that the regime is dominated by themselves will they send troops. Otherwise, Zheng Zhilong could have come to support him before the Northern Chu army crossed the Yangtze River.

If Cen Anguo welcomed Emperor Feng Longwu and stood firm in Hangzhou, then Zheng Zhilong would not have thought that he would send one army and one soldier north, and he would only be in charge of Fujian.

There are many mountains in that place, and if Northern Chu wants to attack the Zheng family, it will take time and effort.

Zheng's family can be divided into one party, and retreat can be waited for a price...

Ying Sijie took Emperor Longchang to get lost in Yixing, and Qian Qianyi turned against Zheng Zhilong, which was a bad thing for Wang Xiaoben.

But Wang Xiao has learned a little bit long ago that bad things will inevitably happen, and what he can do is to find ways to turn bad things into good things.

So he took it easy and took the trick.

He deliberately pretended not to know that Emperor Longchang had turned south and ordered the main attack on Hangzhou, and deliberately allowed Qian Qianyi to send news to Zheng Zhilong.

Only when Zheng Zhilong controlled Emperor Longchang and saw that Cen Anguo was in a diminished state would he feel profitable and would be willing to send troops.

In the eyes of these warlords, it was not important at all that Northern Chu or Southern Chu, and even the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains.

What is important is who can make them arbitrarily and cede themselves, who will be regarded as the truth.

In Zheng Zhilong's original words, what he wants to do is a "phoenix" that "wild and horizontal" rather than a "tiger and leopard" in the "threshold".

He negotiated with Wang Xiao, saying that surrendering is OK, but Fujian should be classified as a vassal state like North Korea and guarded by him.

The four words "Private Scheme of the Portal" are engraved into the bones of these military heads.

Wang Xiao has completely seen through their virtues anyway.

He didn't want to grant Zheng Zhilong a "national lord", so he might as well send Emperor Longchang over there. The meaning is very simple-

"Come on, how can you be the king of the country? You might as well raise an army and go north, be the regent, be the emperor, come on, I will be the one who wins."

Wang Xiao has fought many wars over the years, and has used this method too many times, so he is so skilled that he is calm and clear.

He transferred Qin Shanhe and sent Lin Shaoyuan to Guangdong and Guangxi, pressing Zheng Zhilong behind his butt.

In Nanzhili and Zhejiang, he only left 40,000 soldiers from Qinshan Lake.

In order to attract Zheng Zhilong.

He knew that Zheng Zhilong would come. If he didn't dare to fight this little soldier, he would not deserve to be the king of the Southeast ship and would not deserve to be the phoenix that was scattered.

I believe that Qian Qianyi’s secret letter was also delivered at this time...

Speaking of Qian Qianyi, Wang Xiao didn't think this person was so bad. At least he was struggling in his heart. Apart from his personal integrity, he had never done any evil deeds of doing things in a reverse way.

In addition, Qian Qianyi is mainly famous and has never had much power to rule.

Wang Xiao never regarded him as an opponent, but only regarded him as a weather vane.

It is just a weather vane for the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

The reason why Wang Xiao asked Chen Weizhong what to do was to remind Chen Weizhong to be careful of Qian Qianyi in Nanjing...

~~

When he was in Xuzhou before, Wang Xiao liked to ask Chen Weizhong some boring questions, such as the emotional life between him and Liu Rushi. What he wanted to discuss was probably... how to pursue a talented woman?

But this time when I arrived in Nanjing, Wang Xiao did not talk about this matter with Chen Weizhong, and he never asked a question.

Chen Weizhong knew that the King of Jin must have been in love with a beautiful woman and no longer had this trouble. The King of Jin was now worried about how to avoid being pursued by talented women.

Now Chen Weizhong is troubled...

If you ask him if he has any Liu Rushi in his heart? The answer is yes.

But there are many reasons why he rejected her, such as he was already married and did not want to let Liu Rushi be a concubine;

In addition, even if he accepted Liu Rushi, his wife's character, talent and talent would definitely not be able to outweigh Liu Rushi's glory, and his wife would definitely be wronged at that time...

So he swung his sword of wisdom to cut off the love thread.

Afterwards, Liu Rushi married into the high school, and Chen Weizhong was sincerely pleased with her.

But now, Qian Qianyi is afraid that the disaster will come, and Chen Weizhong will inevitably be concerned about Liu Rushi. He is afraid that she will be implicated by her husband, afraid that she will be sad, and afraid that she will be unlucky.

He pleaded for Qian Qianyi in front of Wang Xiao, saying "Every word is heartfelt, and he is absolutely selfless." He really thought so at that time.

But when he looked back and asked himself again, he couldn't tell whether he had selfish thoughts or not.

On the other hand, because he once rejected Liu Rushi, Jiang Nanfeng commented that he was deeply in love with his wife, but now he was worried about another woman while also caring about her. Chen Weizhong still felt sorry for his wife.

In short, my desires are not clear, and I have been a little confused recently.

Even so, Chen Weizhong can still do his official duties well.

He was in charge of Nanjing City, recovering the accumulated debts, and after giving Nanjing gentry a warning, he had already begun to implement a new policy in Nanjing.

Just wait for Wang Xiao to completely defeat Zheng Zhilong and Cen Anguo to use the momentum of great victory to change the Jiangnan.

In comparison, those love for children is actually a trivial matter...

On this day, Chen Weizhong also received the battle report from Hangzhou.

He knew Wang Xiao’s strategic intentions and understood that Zheng Zhilong might be heading north next.

Then, Qian Qianyi's value has been used up, and no matter how Qian Qianyi does, he will not change the situation.

At this time, Chen Weizhong decided to remind Qian Qianyi so that the other party would not get angry and continue to mix in certain things, causing a big disaster to his family.

On October 6, Qian Qianyi was invited to meet Chen Weizhong on the shore of Xuanwu Lake.

Back then, on the shore of Xuanwu Lake at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain, they gathered together to discuss academics, establish society and establish alliances, and were determined to save national destiny.

Now it’s the autumn wind is rustling again, and most of the scholars of the past have fallen...

Seeing that there were many guards behind Chen Weizhong, Qian Qianyi turned his hand on his back, shook his head, and couldn't help but sarcastic words.

"Wozi is now in a prosperous official career, and he is relied on by the King of Jin, which makes the scholars in Jiangnan dare not look at each other. Even when he goes out, he will be hugged and hugged him."

Chen Weizhong felt a little embarrassed and bowed his hand, saying, "Mr. Qian misunderstood. It is because the students have offended many people. The King of Jin was worried about the safety of the students, so he sent someone to guard him."

He turned to the guard leader beside him and said, "Would you please let me talk to Mr. Qian alone?"

The guard leader first glanced at the entourage behind Qian Qianyi, and then took the people to guard the surrounding area.

Chen Weizhong raised his hand and asked Qian Qianyi to take a walk along the Xuanwu Lake together, saying, "I ask Qian Gong to forgive the students for taking the liberty. I invite Qian Gong to come today, because I want to persuade you..."

He hesitated a little and said slowly: "Please ask money to announce your retirement and return home and live in seclusion for a while. How about it?"

Qian Qianyi was unhappy because he was well-educated and did not say anything bad.

"I studied hard all my life, not to wander around the forest."

"Mr. Qian is the master of my Chu Dynasty poetry and prose. However, my career has been bumpy all my life and the road ahead is even more dangerous. Why do you turn around earlier?"

Chen Weizhong said that Qian Qianyi's career was bumpy but it was not false...

More than 40 years ago, Qian Qianyi was a senior high school student and was taught as an editor of the Hanlin Academy. As a result, his father passed away in the same year and returned to his hometown to worry.

When he became an official again, he became the chief examiner and encountered fraud in the imperial examination;

He became an official again, and was expelled by the eunuchs and dismissed from office.

Qian Qianyi works at home every day to study, write articles, and fame. His status as a scholar is rising step by step, becoming a famous scholar all over the world. However, his official experience is quite lacking, and he has never done serious practice, but has only done some editing.

It was not until Emperor Longchang that Qian Qianyi was honored to serve as the Minister of Rites.

Chen Weizhong said it tactfully, but the implication was "You have no official experience and can't play with it, so go back early."
