Chen Shou came to the water pavilion, and next to Yuan Xiannian, there was a middle-aged man in white standing. The two were admiring the paintings hanging in the study on the first floor side by side.

When he returned to the Central Plains, Shangguan Jun felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart. Although he was born in Hangzhou, the family motto passed down from generation to generation is that it is rooted in the Central Plains. Sooner or later, he would go back and bury their bones in front of the graves of his ancestors.

Although Chen Shou is very amateur in calligraphy and painting, the original works that are hard to find in his study are hung in his study.

The two of them were fascinated by their eyes and their words were so speculative that Chen Shou did not find out at the first time when he came in.

"Ahem."

Hearing Chen Shou's cough, Yuan Xiannian turned his head and smiled and said, "Brother Shangguan, this is the Zhongyong Marquis of our Great Qi. Marquis, this is the Kaicheng Bo of the Tang Kingdom, and he is currently the Chief of Guanglu Temple."

"Looking for a long time."

"Good luck."

After the two of them were polite, they sat down with the guest of honor. Liu'er came up with a tea tray. Shangguan Jun smiled and said, "I always heard people talk about Zhongyong Marquis. When I saw him today, I never thought that he was so young. It turns out that he has been a young man since ancient times."

"Mr. Shangguan praised it. Shou was just a tiny man, how could he be called a hero? However, Brother Shangguan is now deeply trusted by Emperor Tang, and no one in the country knows it."

The two of them tried their best to put a high hat on each other and left Yuan Xiannian beside him. He chuckled and said, "Brother Shangguan came across the river this time, but he did not hold the Tang Dynasty's quarrels. I think there must be something important to discuss with my marquis."

Shangguan Jun held the teacup, plucked the mist, and smiled and said, "That's it."

"Why did it come from?"

Shangguan Jun wiped his eyelids, put down the teacup, and said seriously: "You may not know that our Tang Dynasty naval commanders have always been doing something that goes beyond the authority. Especially the last time, without the permission of the court, they crossed the river and provoked provocations, which almost caused disputes between us. This is not what our emperor promised. Recently, we discovered that the Zhenjiang naval commanders had close contacts with the Huai Army. Our emperor was worried that they would be unfavorable to Zhongyong Hou, so he specially sent me to inform Zhongyong Hou."

Chen Shou was a little scared. Huai Jun himself didn't even see it. Unexpectedly, they found helpers.

The Navy of the Tang Dynasty, I heard that the combat power is good and there are invincible warships in the world.

His weak navy was just starting out and was even practicing on merchant ships.

If you really fight, you can't take any advantage in the water. The Huai Army was a private soldier of the Wei family. The previous head of the Wei family and the prime minister of the 12th year of the Great Qi family were killed by himself. The Huai Army and himself were enemies who would never end up, and this Liangzi could not be solved at all.

They knew that relying on the separate power of the Huai Army, they could not enter Kaifeng Prefecture at all, because the largest arm of the Wei family, the 100,000 elite soldiers from the Daming Prefecture, were all taken away by themselves.

Chen Shou's face was quiet and cursed in his heart: Jiang Chu had just joined Mongolia, and the Wei family had sex with the Tang navy. Do you know how to find foreign aid?

Seeing that Chen Shou was not speaking, Shangguan Jun finished speaking and was waiting for a reply. He smiled and said, "The Huai Army is not in a state of chaos and the navy may not have much combat power when it comes ashore. If your country is controlled by these arrogant soldiers and generals, we are willing to help at the right time."

Chen Shou nodded and said, "What Lao Yuan said is exactly what I mean."

Shangguan Jun definitely didn't want the army of Daqi to interfere in the affairs of the Tang Kingdom. If it really turned out like that, the career of the government would end after he went back.

The fear of the navy of the Tang Dynasty was far lower than that of the Great Qi.

"We can handle the matters of the Navy ourselves. Among the Navy of the Tang Dynasty, there are only some generals who are unruly and unruly. However, as long as our Majesty issues an order, no one dares not to obey it."

"That's great." Chen Shou said in a deep voice: "Then please ask Lord Shangguan to go back and tell Emperor Tang that the Huai Army is the private soldiers of the gentry of the two Huai Rivers. We will sooner or later solve this group of traitors. At that time, Emperor Tang will also ask Emperor Tang to restrain his navy to avoid harming the fish in the pond."

Shangguan didn't dare to make any decisions about this kind of thing, so he said with a smile: "After going back, I will definitely convey it to His Majesty."

After a while of greeting, Chen Shou asked Yuan Xiannian to place Shangguan Jun in Yexue in Loulan.

Shangguan Jun waved his hand and said, "The ancestors' grave is in Beimang Mountain. It's rare to come back once. I'm just about to go and take a look."

Chen Shou laughed and said, "This is simple, send Gao Bian to escort Lord Shangguan himself."

Yuan Xiannian took him away from the water pavilion. Chen Shou looked at their departure backs and his eyes gradually brightened.

The navy of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be unable to control it anymore, and something big would happen sooner or later.

He frowned his eyebrows, his temples bulged, and sat there motionlessly, studying every word Shangguan Jun said.

After about half an hour, Yuan Xiannian hurried back and asked when he entered the door: "Marty, what does the Tang people mean?"

"I see at least three things that I can be sure of when I see this person's words. First, the navy of the Tang Dynasty has become increasingly vassal and difficult for the imperial court to control it; second, the Huai Army has a great ambition and may have big moves in the near future, so we have to guard against it; third, and most importantly, the Tang Dynasty's ruler and ministers intend to form an alliance with us."

Yuan Xiannian smiled happily and said with a smile: "If Emperor Yuhui had this idea, it would be a good thing for us."

Chen Shou was not very happy and hummed, "It was said that it was a long-distance attack, but in fact the Tang Dynasty was of no use to us. At present, most of our troops were in the east and north. It seemed that we would shrink our troops and end the war between Qingzhou and Hejian Prefecture as soon as possible. I sent an order to Zhang Zhengyuan that I would like to investigate the chaos within one month and then lead our troops back to Beijing."

"The three prefectures in Shandong are almost done, but the thieves in Hejian Prefecture are now at a high risk."

Chen Shou waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I have my own plans for the matter between the rivers."

Yuan Xiannian did not ask about his plan, but looked at the map behind Chen Shou, pointed to the Fen River in Hedong, and said, "Jiang Chucai wanted to attack Baibo Valley, and it was all up to Li Xin to take charge, annihilate the Mongolian vanguard, and repel two attacks. Should all the troops retreated go south to defend the Huai Army, or to divide the troops to Hedong to participate in the war?"

"Hedong is not our battlefield. Your Yuan family and Li Xin can fully gain a foothold. We don't have many people. If we attack from all directions, we will not be able to keep up with the baggage alone. Now my biggest concern is the Huai Army, because it lies between us and the Tang people, so I am afraid that they will collude with the Tang Navy and cut off my trade route."

The grain, iron ore, weapons and even linen for first aid kits needed to be purchased from Datang.

The position of the Huai Army is too important. If they really colluded with the Tang Navy and said that they would cut off their trade routes without any effort.

We must first destroy the Huai Army. In Chen Shou's mind, their priority is already higher than that of Jiang Chucai...

"At the latest autumn this year, when people are strong and horses are fat, we will go to war with the Huai Army."

Yuan Xiannian secretly fought for his family. After finding that it didn't work, he said nothing else. He followed Chen Shou's meaning: "The Marquis has decided to go to war with the Wei family, so from now on, we have to prepare."

"Call Lao Huang and the others tonight and we will discuss what to do next."
