Lord of the House

Vol 5 Chapter 32: official position

(Second, 4,000-word chapter, ask for a red ticket!)

The sentry boat was low, and Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhi came from the north on the sentry boat.

On the top of the ten-zhang main mast of the Dongyang, there is an observation station. The weather is fine, and the enemy can be seen nearly ten or twenty miles away. It's just that the observation post is too simple, and the agile scouts climbed up and had to use ropes to fix themselves on the mast to observe the enemy's situation and wave the flag. , but the top deck of the stern cabin is more than two feet high, and when you board it, you can see the battle situation on the other side of the seawall.

Yang Zhishan was full of suspicions that Lin Fu had falsely reported his military exploits, and when he boarded the top deck, he was stunned by the situation in front of him.

Standing on the top deck of the stern cabin, in the southwest direction of Wukou Village, Hexiong Qizheng led six hundred cavalry towards Wangdengtai Mountain, while Yang Yihang and Ma Yipower infantry pursued in a marching formation, with only a small number of cavalry to cover the flanks. ...

Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhi arrived for the first time and did not know about the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers. They all thought that the chariots were all in the order of the Jiangdong Left Army. Chasing the enemy cavalry with foot and cavalry in the field, although they relied on double the strength, also made Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhi, and Liu Zhi believe that the two great victories in Cangnan were not all exaggerations. It is more than three times the strength of the cavalry of the Donglu Northern Front, and it does not have the courage to fight.

Lin Xuwen and Liu Zhi were ignorant of military affairs, no matter what kind of thoughts they had when they came over, but seeing their soldiers driving the enemy cavalry to fight, they were excited and excited, wishing they were the generals who commanded the army to gallop on the battlefield, Lin Xuwen pointed out. After chasing the two generals who took the lead in the formation and were embraced by the other horses, he asked, "Who are those two? They are two of the four generals of the Jiangdong Left Army, Zhou Pu, Zhao Qingshan, Ning Zechen, and Cao Ziang. place?"

"None of them..." Lin Fu said with a smile, Liu Zhi was a minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he should be from Hao Zongcheng. He couldn't figure out Liu Zhi's attitude towards the remnants of the soldiers in Jinzhong for a while, so he sold it out and didn't say it bluntly. At least until this battle is over, if the military merit can be accumulated, the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers will also have a support.

Yang Zhishan has served in the Ministry of War for many years. Although he has no experience in directing troops, he has a much deeper understanding of military affairs than Lin Xuwen and Liu Zhi. If the shape does not disperse, I am afraid that it is tempting our army to go deeper. Captive bandits are best at playing this trick, relying on the speed of horses, they are accustomed to lure each other with small groups of cavalry, and when they go to the depths, the enemy will appear everywhere, and our army will not be able to retreat in time. It's a big loss. Jiangdong Zuojun is brave, we have already seen it, should we be cautious?"

Lin Xuwen and Liu Zhi gave Yang Zhishan a thorough explanation, and suddenly felt that the situation in front of them was not optimistic, and they all looked at Lin Fu, fearing that his two victories would underestimate the enemy, Lin Fu smiled and said: "Today's battle is not only this way. Dinghai is windy, my eldest brother and two adults will follow me to the cabin, I will tell you in detail...

Lin Fu used Dongyang as the command ship and the stern cabin as the command post.

There are two-story tail cabins, the bottom layer hides armored soldiers, and there is a corridor on the periphery of the second-story cabin. Standing on the corridor, you can watch the surrounding situation. More than ten guards with knives stand on guard in the corridor. In the square flower hall, in the middle is a large wooden platform fixed on the bottom of the cabin. The topographic map of the southern part of Jinhai County is spread out. Sun Shangwang is in charge of marking the movement directions of various troops and horses detected by the observation platform on the topographic map. .

Sun Shangwang saw that Lin Fu brought people over, so he stopped what he was doing. Lin Fu introduced him to Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhi, and said, "Sun Xiucai is Cangnan's talent. Hope, help me with military affairs at this time..."

Sun Shangwang knew that he was not qualified to speak in front of the people coming from the capital, so he saluted and stood by the rules.

Lin Fu invited Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhi to look at the topographic map in front of the wooden platform. The travel routes and time points of Yang Yihang, Cao Ziang, and Ao Canghai were clearly marked on the map. The situation of the war was introduced to them: "The enemy of the Jiangdong Zuo army in Jinhai was the commander of Na Hexiongqi, the capital of the Eastern Captive King. After our Jiangdong Zuo army won the victory of Cangnan, Na Hexiongqi led five thousand people. The remaining cavalry attacked Cangnan. After Xiaobotou Village was weakened by our Jiangdong Left Army, there were only less than 4,000 cavalry left. This is where we are, this is Wukou Village, and the red arrow is the direction of our army's movement. , the blue arrow is the movement direction of the captive cavalry. This short red arrow is the chasing cavalry we saw on the top of the cabin just now. In the southwest and due west, our army has one each fighting the captive cavalry, moving in the three-way On the middle point of the direction, this is Wang Dengtai Mountain, that is, the camp of the Hexiong Qi clan in Jinhai... Since the East invaders entered the bandit, they have been fighting to support the war, and they have not relied much on logistics and baggage, so there is no camp. Heavy. Hejian Mansion has been washed and looted several times in the past two months, and there is not much food and grass left in the field. When He Xiongqi comes to Jinhai to fight with our troops, he needs to carry food and hide it under the king's Dengtai Mountain. Our three-way attack is to force Na Hexiongqi to fight at the foot of Wang Dengtai Mountain..."

Only then did Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhi know that what they saw just now was not an ordinary pursuit battle, but a battle carefully organized by Lin Fu. Even if all the captive cavalry broke through the encirclement and fled, the captive cavalry can also be captured at the camp under Wang Deng's stage, and the captured enemy's grain, wounded soldiers and horses will be captured, so that the Hexiong Qi tribe will lose the left army in Jinhai and Jiangdong. The root of the entanglement is also a great victory.

Without the need for extra explanation and proof, Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, Liu Zhi, the accompanying secretary office, the squire and others all believed that the two Cangnan Victories were indeed the truth.

"The captured enemy has nearly 4,000 troops. Will the Jiangdong Zuo army be insufficient?" Yang Zhishan asked.

Lin Fu thought to himself that the head of the military department knew something about military affairs, and explained: "Although Jinhai and Qingxian were swept away by captive cavalry, Wukou, Changlu, Qingqi and other strongholds still could not stand, and our troops went to Jin. After the sea, contact each village, and each village sent out about 2,000 troops to participate in the battle. Although the captured enemy's strength was nearly 4,000, it was counted as wounded and the soldiers and horses were divided into three camps to stop our troops from attacking. There are more than 3,000 villages, and in fact, our troops cooperate with each other in every way, and they are in a situation of fighting more and fighting less... If Jinhai can win another great victory, the villages should take the lead..." After saying this, Lin Fu said. Looking at the servant Liu Zhi, seeing his eyes rolling at the topographic map, he raised his brows slightly, thinking that he and the inner servants should know that the remnants of Jinzhong soldiers are here, and smiled, "Master Liu, Any pointers?"

Liu Zhi smiled and said, "Lin Dujian is really a first-class military wizard. During the first battle in Jiyang, a certain family had heard of your reputation. To tell you the truth, a certain family still felt that the battle report was a bit of a mystery at that time. Exaggerated, when I saw it today, I realized that the Lin Dujian's reputation is well-deserved..." He took out the official letter from his arms and said, "This is the official letter signed by the director of the inner guard Zhu Luqin Wang Shi Hao Zongcheng and the Ministry of War Zhou Zongxian Zhou. A certain family came to watch the grand occasion of the Jiangdong Left Army..."

This is an official letter from the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Lin Fu did not need to kneel to receive it. He bowed and took the letter to read.

Lin Fu originally led the Jiangdong Zuo Army in the name of the Jiangdong Zuojun, so Liu Zhi could no longer use the name of the Jianjun when he came here. "In fact, it is the supervisor of the army, but the official letter only stated that all matters of the Jiangdong Zuo Army should be known to Liu Zhi, and there is no need to discuss all matters with Liu Zhi. Liu Zhi could not directly interfere with Lin Fu's command of the Jiangdong Zuo Army. Power, this is also considered to give face to the Chu party.

Lin Fu pondered the title of "Deputy Envoy of Guan Junrong". Although it was a temporary establishment, from the point of view of the title setting and the procedures of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he thought that maybe Emperor Chongguan decided to use the minister... …

Lin Fu smiled and said: "How can I predict that today's battle will be a big victory? Only then did I realize that it was Master Liu who came to supervise the battle. If there is a big victory today, Master Liu should take the lead..."

Although Lin Fu was polite, Liu Zhi was also very happy to hear it. The unpleasantness Lin Fu caused him by using the Jinhaizhai soldiers disappeared, and he said, "Lord Lin is really good at talking, what credit can a certain family have? Isn't it because Lord Lin devised a strategy, and the generals and soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy?"

"Don't be polite, Mr. Liu," Lin Fu smiled, pointing at Lin Mengde and said, "Lin Gongmengde is the uncle of my brother Xuwen and I. Since I moved north, he has taken care of the military affairs for me. Jiangdong For the details of Zuo Jun, I will let Uncle Mengde and Master Liu introduce them one by one!" For someone like Liu Zhi, it is best for Lin Meng to come out and deal with it.

"Don't worry, let's talk about other things after this battle is over," Liu Zhi said.

"Will there be a conclusion to the war for a while? I have to watch it here, so it's inconvenient to accompany me," Lin Fu said, "Master Liu and Master Yang have come from a long way, it's been very hard work, I will prepare a boat for Master Liu. , Master Yang, take a rest first or two, if there is any situation, I will send someone to notify the two of you at any time..."

Yang Zhishan also took out the official letter from the Ministry of War. He was purely here to verify the military merits of the previous two victories. Yang Zhishan would not stay here any longer. Lin Fu asked Sun Shangwang to be responsible for checking the military merits accumulated over the past few battles to Yang Zhishan. and the two military officials he brought for verification.

Liu Zhi was so tired that his bones were about to fall apart. Lin Fu wanted to arrange for him to go to rest before discussing matters, and he did not refuse; in short, he had to leave some time for Lin Xuwen and Lin Fu, the two brothers and brothers, to speak.

After dealing with Liu Zhi and Yang Zhishan, Lin Fu asked Lin Xuwen, "Why did the big brother come here?"

"It's still thanks to you, Old Seventeen, I'll ask you to get an errand to serve as the censor of Youdu and supervise the military preparations of the Hejian Mansion..." Lin Xuwen said, and he wanted to show Lin Fu the official document from his arms.

When Gu Wuchen first arrived in Jiangdong, he was only the censor of the Youdu and the deputy envoy of the press officer, and later he was promoted to the imperial officer and the governor of the Zuodu. Lin Xuwen's supervision of the military preparations of the Hejian Mansion was only a temporary dispatch. Besides, the Hejian Mansion had been completely disabled, and there was no military preparation in the local area. This is also the reconciliation between the Lin and Gu families. He has made great progress in the officialdom since he joined the Chu Party. He used to be a member of the Ministry of Industry, a fifth-rank official, and he has been in the office for many years.

Lin Xuwen said that Torin Bound's credit was not true at all.

If it wasn't for Lin Fu's two victories in Hejian Mansion and his continued activities in Hejian Mansion, which would make the situation of Hejian Mansion slightly improved, there would be no need for the imperial court to send envoys to Hejian Mansion, which had been completely crippled. Endgame.

If it weren't for Lin Fie's contribution, even if he sent an envoy, this errand would not necessarily fall on Lin Xuwen's head.

"My brother, can I still check your eldest brother's official letter? I should congratulate eldest brother, I will be able to rely on eldest brother in Hejian Mansion in the future." Lin Fu laughed, preventing Lin Xuwen from taking out the official letter and printing it out.

"What do you rely on or not rely on, in the end, I still cooperate with your Jiangdong Zuojun in Hejianfu..." Lin Xuwen said.

Lin Fu thought that Lin Xuwen would come here, and it would be better than other unfamiliar officials who had no friendship. Compared with Liu Zhilai being the deputy envoy of the military, Lin Xuwen used the title of Yuduyu to supervise the military equipment of the Hejian Mansion. It's almost a piece of good news.

Lin Fu led the Jiangdong Zuo army northward, and King Qin fought, but in fact he had no local jurisdiction over Hejianfu. Although Hejian Mansion was handicapped ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the Wuzhai forces in its territory could be regarded as a strong force.

Lin Xuwen served as the censor of Youdu and also oversees the military preparations of Hejianfu. As an envoy, he oversees the local military preparations of Hejianfu and has jurisdiction over the local Wuzhai forces.

Lin Fu thought about it for a while, and knew that this was Zhang Xie and Tang Haoxin providing more convenient conditions for him to use troops in Hejianfu; A real share to the Chu party.

Lin Fu has nothing to give up on this. If he is solely responsible for his military exploits, he may not necessarily be able to seal a great official or gain great benefits. For a period of time in the future, he will always rely on the Chu Party. Besides, Zhang Xie and Tang Haoxin asked Lin Xuwen to share the credit of the Jiangdong Left Army, and it was also to give Lin Fu a face.

Lin Fu was very welcome to Lin Xuwen to come to Jinhai as the censor of Youduyan and the military officer of Hejianfu.

The direction of the imperial court has finally changed completely.

Lin Bie only hated that the wind had changed too late. If the imperial court had steadfastly determined to defend the war before the enemy organized the offensive against Jinan, Yezierhan, the chief of the eastern captives, would not necessarily organize troops to attack Jinan. Now it is bound to wait for the winner of the Jinan World War I to know the next change in the situation.

"...So, the direction of the wind has changed?" Lin Fu asked pretending to be ignorant.

"When we came out, the emperor had already ordered the Minister of War, Zhou Zongxian, the governor of the world's Qin Wangshi, and sent envoys from Shanxi to Zhongzhou to supervise the battle, and the thieves must be driven out from Yanji," Lin Xuwen said, "Zhang Xiang, Tang Shilang I appreciate you all. I hope you will lead the Jiangdong Zuo Army to fight a more beautiful battle in Hejian. I didn't expect that when we first came to Hejian, there would be good news..." My QT room is open!
