Lord of the House

On April 11th, Liu Aner's general Wu Shiyi led 20,000 refugee troops to cross Huainan, and then fell into Haozhou and Sizhou.

Although Lin Tingli led the Dongyang Army to guard Shiliang and sealed the hills and valleys that the refugee army descended from the west bank of Hongzepu, the news of the fall of Haozhou again was undoubtedly a shock to everyone in Jiangning.

So far, hundreds of thousands of refugee troops have spread all over the sky along the north bank of the Huai River (the confluence of the Huai River and Hongzepu between Sizhou and Huai'an).

In mid-April, Jiangdong has entered the rainy season. For several days, the drizzle has been lewd and lewd. The whole river is surrounded by hookah, rain and mist. The new willow branches on the riverside are green and fresh. Song Jia and Xiao Man waited next to the stone table.

The bright red and new emerald thin shirts are bright and moving. It seems that the emerald color of the river and mountains is not as pleasant as the two girls.

A large boat descended from the current and emerged leisurely through the mist. Seeing that the boat looked like the Jiangning official system, Song Jia first put down the scroll in her hand and stared at it. After a stick of incense, the official ship approached the Nanya Wharf, and the sails slowly approached the wharf. There was a man standing at the bow of the ship, and shouted to the guard on the wharf: "The Ning Wangfu sends an envoy, and the Jinghai Governor Lin is called. Lord Fu Lin!"

The sound was loud, and it was faintly heard halfway up the mountain. Lin Fu put down the pen in his hand and looked into the river. More than thirty feet apart, the person at the bow was as small as an ant, wearing a green robe, and seemed to be an official. Lin Bie frowned slightly, as if thinking about what the Ning Palace sent an envoy to see him.

Yue Lengqiu led the Changhuai army to retreat to Xuzhou and was almost alone. The intention of the court to appoint King Ning to Jiangning was to make King Ning play a role in the southeast at a critical moment.

King Ning directly sent an envoy to summon him, indicating that in the eyes of the people in Jiangning, they also believed that the situation was corrupted to the most critical juncture.

Lin Fu didn't care what the envoy sent by King Ning and the pier guards were saying, he raised his brows, beckoned a guard outside the mountain pavilion, and instructed: "If you go down the mountain, just say I will go to Shengsi to patrol the army. , I don't know when I'll be back, just ask King Ning's messenger to leave the edict..."

The guard walked down the mountain by the stone path, Song Jia raised her arms and held her hair, Mei Lai gave Lin Fu a fixed look, and then said, "Everyone in Jiangning thinks Jiangdong Zuojun is a divine general, Yue Lengqiu retreats to Xuzhou, and dare not Going out of the city and fighting the rogues to the death, I hope you will lead the Jiangdong Zuo army to cross Huaibei!"

"Do you guess that King Ning's edict wanted me to cross Huaibei?" Lin Fu looked at Song Jia and smiled, "How can you be sure that the edict didn't ask me to guard Huaidong?"

"If you keep Huaidong, will you keep King Ning's messenger out of Chongzhou?" Song Jia glanced at Lin Fu, dissatisfied with Lin Fu's test of her intelligence.

Xiaoman couldn't guess why Lin Fu and Song Jia both guessed that King Ning was calling the Jiangdong Zuo army to cross Huaibei instead of guarding Huai'an. Seeing that the two of them were looking at each other's tacit understanding, he said unconvincingly, "This way. You have the right to participate in politics, it is justifiable to go to guard Huai Zuo, but crossing Huaibei has nothing to do with this side, I think you all guessed wrong..."

"We'll know when King Ning's edict comes up," Lin Fu said.

"Why don't we make a bet?" Song Jia wanted to tease Xiaoman.

"What's the point of the two of you bullying me?" Xiaoman was not convinced, but he wouldn't betray Song Jia. He leaned back to watch the movement under the cliff, and waited for the guard to bring up King Ning's edict.

Between the Jianghuai and the Huaihe River, there are water fields such as Hongzepu and Gaoyou Lake, which are divided into Huaidong and Huaixi. Huaidong includes Huaian, Weiyang and Hailing, and Huaixi includes Dongyang, Haozhou and Luzhou.

Seeing that Xiaoman was not fooled, Song Jia smiled and analyzed it to her: "Everyone in Jiangning will not cry without seeing the coffin. Although Haozhou and Sizhou are lost, Yue Lengqiu can still retreat to Suyu and Huai'an along Sishui, how could Jiangning be possible? Jiangdong Zuojun will be sent to guard Huaian? Besides, King Ning really wants to order Lin Fu to guard Huaian, and most of Gu Wuchen's messengers will go to Chongzhou to report the news... Gu Wuchen has not moved, doesn't it imply that the troops here are not moving?"

"What do you mean by holding on to your troops?" Lin Fu asked back, "The main force of the refugee army is in Huaibei, and they are advancing on the Sishui River. Can the Jiangdong Zuo Army be able to reverse the situation with three to five thousand people?"

"I'm not the only one who thinks so," Song Jiayan said with a smile, "Liu An'er was trapped in Sizhou, Wuhe, and Shiliang counties at the beginning of his army in Hongzepu. After Chen Hansan defected in Huai'an, Liu An'er joined forces with him. Haozhou was destroyed, and the city was swept away. The famous Huainan city, Haozhou, was destroyed in the war. Yue Lengqiu went south to reorganize the Changhuai Army, just as the Huai River broke the embankment, there was no chance to rebuild the city of Hao, so the Dongyang Army They can only defend Shiliang, but cannot enter and defend Haozhou. In the eyes of some people in Jiangning, the loss of Haozhou and Sizhou is somewhat taken for granted. Although King Ning sent envoys, in their eyes, they even hoped for the situation. There is still the possibility of recovery... You took a broken excuse to block the envoy back, but didn't you just stand still?"

Lin Fu smiled and didn't argue. When the guard came up with King Ning's edict, he opened it and saw that it was the edict that he led the troops left behind in Chongzhou to cross Huaihe to suppress the bandits.

Lin Bie rolled up Ning Wangzhao and threw it into a paper basket made of bamboo strips.

A little later, the Jiangdong Left Army sent an urgent message from the outpost in Huaibei. Liu An'er led the main force of the refugee army to cross Sishui, and the soldiers were staying at the foot of Yucheng.

Only 4,000 soldiers and horses of the Changhuai Army were left behind in Suyu, and the situation was critical.

If Liu An'er attacked Su Yu urgently, even if Lin Fu decided to raise troops to cross Huaibei, it would take eight or nine days to reach Su Yu, and it would be of no use.

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

On the 14th, the soldiers and horses sent by Yue Lengqiu to assist Su Yu were ambushed by Chen Hansan in Suining, and they fled to the east. Suining fell on the same day. Seeing that Sui Ning was lost, the defenders of Suyu contacted Xuzhou to cut off the refugee army, fearing that they would be encircled, they abandoned Suyu on the 15th and retreated to Shuyang to the east. Qingzhou channel.

Su Yu was in the south of Xuzhou and north of Huai'an, and blocked the passage of the Changhuai Army from Xuzhou along the Sishui Henan to Huai'an.

The source of the Sishui River originates from Quanlin County in the west of Shandong Province, and the economy enters Nansi Lake, flows through Xuzhou and Suyu, and joins the Huaihe River in the north of Huai'an.

Suyu fell, and the main force of Changhuai'an, who retreated to Xuzhou, was almost alone, except for the bordering Linyi to the east.

On the afternoon of the 17th, Jiangning's official ship docked at Nanya Wharf again. The person who came was not an envoy sent by King Ning. Zhang Yubo, wearing a crimson official robe, boarded the wharf during the drizzle.

Zhang Yubo has an extraordinary relationship with this side. Li Chai, the guard on duty at the Nanya Wharf, recognized Zhang Yubo when he was in Jiangning. He didn't waste time reporting, and directly led him up the mountain from the narrow stone path to Linfu.

Lin Bie was having fun at the grass pavilion on the top of the mountain with his only son Xin'er in his arms, watching Zhang Yubo come up the mountain in a crimson official robe that can only be worn by a fifth-rank official, and said with a smile, "Brother Yubo has been promoted, and he came to Chongzhou to ask my congratulations. ?"

Liu Yue'er stood up and bowed to Zhang Yubo, Zhang Yubo gave Liu Yue'er a bow in return, and smiled wryly with Lin Fu: "Brother Lin Xian, don't make fun of me, I'm for the duck that caught up with the shelf, and I was caught by the poor and pressed Huaian. The government sent me through the sentence," paused, and then said, "I was born in bitter cold, and I was cultivated by the court to be able to have today. The court used me in danger, and I didn't dare to regret it, so I had to bite the bullet and go to Huai'an to serve. I came to Chongzhou because I thought that behind me there were orphans, widows, and old mothers in the hall who were unattended, and I wanted to entrust Brother Lin Xian!"

"Your bitter tactics are of no use to me," Lin Fu said. "You smelled my body, and you just urinated on this kid, and you haven't thought of being loyal to the court for a while!"

Liu Yue'er took her son away from Lin Fu's arms, and the front of Lin Fu's purple official robe was really wet.

Zhang Yubo was dumbfounded.

Lin Fu wears purple at the third rank, and Lin Fu is only from the fourth rank, but he is given the reward of purple. He has become a dignitary at a young age, but such a cherished purple robe is worn by Lin Fu every day to hold his children and urinate. I know this, but I don't know how much trouble it will cause.

Liu Yue'er carried her son back, Lin Tie was wearing a body suit, asked Zhang Yubo to sit down in the grass pavilion, and asked, "Am I controlling Liu Tingzhou, or is Liu Tingzhou controlling me?"

Liu Tingzhou was the prefect of Huaian.

"The situation is so critical, if Huai'an falls again, the bandits going south will be unstoppable, how can those people still be ignorant?" Zhang Yubo said, "Besides, you are the minister of propaganda and ministers, and since the establishment of the dynasty, you can participate in the government and control the county, which is fine. Are there any prefectures and counties who control their participation in politics? This is the edict of King Ning and the letter from the Jiangning Military Department..."

The situation is critical, and it is too late to request an order from the center, UU reading www. uukanshu.com King Ning and the six ministries of Jiangning can handle the military and political affairs of the southeastern counties from the right, which has actually made Jiangning the political center of the southeastern counties.

Lin Fu took the letter and opened it up to see that his official title of Zuo-shenzheng played some role after all. With Zuo-shenzheng as the envoy of the Huaidong Jingkou system, not only the local soldiers of Huai'an government were controlled by him, but Hailing, Weiyang's local government and county military equipment was also temporarily controlled by him. Shi Zhang Xitong, the chief of the Ning Wangfu, attached a seal to the Ning Wang edict. In the face of the situation, he had to bow his head.

At the same time, Lin Tingli served as the envoy of the Huaixi system, and was in charge of the local military equipment of Dongyang and Haozhou. Because the whole territory of Haozhou was lost, Lin Tingli, the envoy of the Huaixi system, just had a good name and did not take Luzhou. The government (Anzheng Hefei), the local military equipment, was controlled by him.

In fact, Lin Fu, the envoy of Huaidong's system, is somewhat worthy of his name. Shen Rong, who knew about Weiyang Mansion, had a deep grudge against him, so how could he listen to him? Hailing House also basically relies on Chongzhou to send troops.

After seeing Lin Fuxing and reading the official letter, his brows were slightly frowned, and Zhang Yubo asked, "I'm going to Huaian today. Jiangning's official ship will not listen to my dispatch, and the adults will send me a ship to Huai'an. In addition, I'm rude to ask, Chongzhou is here. When can we send troops?"

In the past, they were friends and got along casually; Lin Fu took the edict and was his boss, and Zhang Yubo called him as an adult according to the rules.

"The soldiers are very fast. If it is delayed for three or five days, it may be difficult to enter Huai'an City. I will leave today." Lin Fu saw Zhang Yubo's surprise and said with a smile, "You and those people think that I am not moving? King Ning on the 12th When the envoy is sent, Chongzhou will start preparing, and will send troops when you come... Chongzhou needs to guard Shengsi, and there are not many soldiers that can be used, three thousand infantry, one thousand cavalry, one thousand water camp, plus auxiliary Soldiers, workers, a total of 7,000 people, barely able to keep Huaian!"
