Lord of the House

There was a burst of autumn rain and a chill, the sound of the rain hitting the treetops in the courtyard and the sound of the bronze oil lamp "beep beep peeling".

Lin Fu was sitting in front of the desk, Gu Wuchen's suicide note was on the desk, recalling every bit of the past eight years from Chongguan, it made people sad-sitting for a long time, seeing Jun Xun coming, Lin Fu was standing with the long desk standing. Get up and go to the mourning hall.

The mourning hall is located in the Beilu Garden, and Mrs. Du has helped Mrs. Tang and Gu go to the side courtyard to rest; Gu Siyuan, Yang Shi, Liu Xilin and others are still vigil in the mourning hall.

Lin Fu and Jun Xun came, burned incense and worshipped, picked up the futon and sat down, and Jun Xun knelt beside him.

Lin Fu asked Yang Shi and Liu Xilin not to be rude, and said to Gu Siyuan: "The situation in the Hehuai River and Huaihe River has been completely corrupted, with hundreds of thousands of Yan soldiers pouring in from the eastern front, and the troops will continue to increase in the later period. Judging from the current situation of Yanhu , which was barely able to mobilize 200,000 to 250,000 troops to go south from the east. The towns in Jiangning were similar in appearance but separated from each other. Chen Hansan was nailed to Xuzhou like a bone spur again, making Lianghuai feel even more chilled. It's going to be a cold winter in the twelfth lunar month, and this winter is the real torment. It is to throw them all away. The front line of the Huaihe River is threatened, and Luo Xiancheng in the west will also be worrying; and once troops are dispatched from the southern line to reinforce the north, the She family will inevitably struggle to the death, and the next situation will become more and more difficult... The world is only difficult, My father-in-law does not want you to indulge in the sorrows of the past, Siyuan, what are your plans in the future?"

Qingzhou fell, Gu Wuchen, Du Juefu, Zhang Jinxian and others died, Chen/Yuanliang's whereabouts were unknown, and the forces they operated in Qingzhou suffered a devastating blow, but many people and resources were still evacuated to Huaidong.

More than a thousand men and horses evacuated from Qingzhou and Linqu were scattered in Yishan. Yang Shi only selected a hundred guards to **** the Tang Gu family and the Du family to Huaidong, but they evacuated from Yangxin with Gu Siyuan and Liu Xilin. The dead soldiers who came down and the rest of the remnants gathered were nearly 2,000 people, and they were not weak soldiers.

In addition, some of the wealth accumulated by Du, Gu, Chen and other families in Qingzhou was also evacuated to Linqu in time to avoid being robbed by Yanhu.

Gu Wuchen's posthumous letter said that the remnant forces withdrawn from Qingzhou would be accepted by Huaidong, but Lin Fu still wanted to respect Gu Siyuan's opinion, but he would soon go north to supervise the war, and there was not much time for Gu Siyuan's sadness to fade away. Talk about it again.

Regarding the remnants of Qingzhou's withdrawal, Lin Mengde rarely expressed their opinion.

Compared with the forces in Huaidong at this time, the remnants of Qingzhou's withdrawal will either dissolve into Huaidong, or remain independent, or even remain hostile to Huaidong. Therefore, the remnants of Qingzhou go and stay, more like family affairs in the inner house.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Gu Wuchen was the first minister to defend the soil and die. Regardless of whether Emperor Yongxing still harbors resentment towards the support, the funerals and awards will be extremely mournful and will benefit Gu Siyuan.

Gu Siyuan still has a political foundation if he is still brooding about the past and does not want to attach himself to Huaidong.

After arriving in Chongzhou, Gu Siyuan's spirit was slightly better.

To say that Gu Siyuan used to be blindly optimistic about the situation in Hehuai, but today that blind optimism has been completely shattered, and naturally he can understand the difficulties of Huaidong. Not allowed.

Gu Siyuan said: "One wrong thought, all bones are withered. In the past, I was very ambitious and involved too many people. When I boarded the ship from Yangxin, I was in despair. When I came to Chongzhou, I could calm down and think about something. My father's suicide note asked me to cherish my useful body, I am not detained by customs, but no matter what, I will first go back to Hutang to erect a grave for my father, while my mother and Lianniang will stay in Chongzhou temporarily, and my sister will take care of me. All loyal and righteous people, I owe them too much, but I can't take care of them, I can only ask you to arrange for them..."

"The family doesn't speak two words," Lin Fu heard Gu Siyuan's willingness to accept the remnants of Qingzhou to Huaidong, nodded and said, "At this time, Yang Shi and Xilin are both useful materials to defend against the Hulu, and Huaidong is also Need - you go back to the lake and pond to set up the grave, and the filial piety is limited to three months, and then you can return to Huaidong. You can use your talents to manage a county or a prefecture. You should do your best, use it, and don’t stick to customary etiquette. What my father-in-law said in the suicide note should also be the same…”

Gu Siyuan nodded, approving Lin Fu's arrangement.

Affected by this setback, Gu Siyuan also had a clearer understanding of himself.

Huaidong's brave generals are like forests. If you talk about the ability to lead the army, Fu Qinghe, Cao Zi'ang, Qin Chengzu and others are all the leaders who can stand alone; Ning Zechen, Ao Canghai, Zhou Tong, Zhou Pu, Ma Yigong, Yang Yihang, Zhao Hu, Tang Fuguan and others are all top-notch military generals in the world; including Liu Miaozhen, Sun Zhuang, Zhang Gou, Chen Zhu and others are also famous generals rising in the refugee army. When it comes to counselors, Gao Zongting, Ye Junan and others have long been known to move the world, and they are all used by Huaidong at this time, while Lin Mengde, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Liang Wenzhan, Wang Chengfu, Sun Shangwang, Yang Zichen and others are all for a while. select.

It can be said that Huaidong has truly achieved "reduce talents without sticking to one pattern". This is far from the fact that Qingzhou was mainly limited to promoting confidants from the clan. Gu Siyuan also knew that after he was integrated into Huaidong, his own talents could only be regarded as medium. , After being hit so hard, you can only do something down-to-earth.

Yang Shi and Liu Xilin listened to Gu Siyuan's words, and respectfully moved to him and kowtowed. Gu Siyuan knelt up straight, picked them up, and said, "I owe you too much..." Since then, Yang and Liu Er have People are no longer counted as the retainers of the Gu family. As Huaidong's generals, they get along with Gu Siyuan as colleagues, and the kowtow ceremony is considered a conclusion.

The next day, Jiang Ning's edict went to Chongzhou, Gu Wuchen pursued the posthumous title "Zhongjing", and posthumously awarded the title of Dongge Grand Master, Kaifu Yitong Third Division, and Dongyang Bo; Gu Siyuan was demoted to the first-class rank, sealed Shiliangbo, and promoted to Zhengzhou. The fifth-grade Zhongsan doctor; Tang Gu's special gift to the first-grade official wife.

Gu Siyuan had to go to Jiangning to restore the decree and thank him before returning to Dongyang Hutang to erect a tomb for his father. The remains of Yang Pu and Ma Chao were buried in a tomb at the northern foot of Zilang Mountain.

Tang Gu's health was not good, so Gu Siyuan's wife Du took his son to stay in Chongzhou to take care of Tang Gu, including hundreds of people from the Du clan who also settled in Chongzhou.

It was not until the first ten days of October that a clue came to a conclusion. It was also on the second day of October when an edict came from Jiangning, calling Huaidong to send troops from Huaisi, and to receive aid from Yinan to Dongping, and officially agreed to take the Bian River as the line. The areas north of Huaiyang and east of Bianshui, excluding Jining, Caozhou and other places, are all included in the defense zone of Huaidong.

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

On the second day of the tenth lunar month, Lin Fu summoned the special envoy of the Zhen family in Haiyang, Korea, Zhen Qitai, the son of Zhen Feng, the son of Chi Zhou, Chi Yuanji, and Li Ji, the son of the Prince of Danluo, in the Jingguan Hall of Dongya.

After mid-June, the situation in Shandong became increasingly tense, and Huaidong was also stretched thin at that time. Lin Fu was forced to send troops and horses from Haidong to form a partial division and rushed to the periphery of Dengzhou for emergency.

After the incident in Dengzhou, Huaidong's deployment in Haidong can no longer be concealed. It was also at this time that Jiang Ning clearly realized that Lin Fu had been operating Haidong for several years, and his foundation was far beyond what others imagined.

Not only did they build Jeju Castle on Danla Island, but they also formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Saga clan, Jinxiang clan of Fusang, and the Zhen clan and Huaidong of Goryeo Hae-ryung. It became Huaidong's peripheral force in Haidong, and this time it directly sent troops to participate in the war in Dengzhou.

Under the current situation, Jiang Ning could only acquiesce to this fact, and in the edict on the second day of October, the affairs of the Haidong vassal state were put under the jurisdiction of the Huaidong System.

Zhen Feng sent his son Zhen Qitai to Huaidong as a special envoy this time, and he also came to seek Huaidong's support to seize the kingship of Goryeo.

Lin Fu naturally hopes that the Zhen family will expand the scale of the war in Korea, so as to weaken Korea's military support for Yanhu to a limited extent, but Zhen's current strength is still slightly weaker.

The Zhen clan currently occupies a county in Haiyang, with a jurisdiction of more than 500,000 people, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com has more than 30,000 troops; the Li clan of the Goryeo royal family and the state minister Zuo Jing, who is temporarily in charge of the Goryeo king's government, although he has to face He said that he was incompetent, chaotic in governance, and succumbed to Yan Hu externally, which caused the domestic people to suffer, complaining, and the army and the people were divorced, but the land, population, soldiers and other resources under the jurisdiction were several times that of the Zhen family.

If the support for the Zhen Clan was limited to the exchange of strategic materials, it would be difficult to completely involve Goryeo in the war in a short period of time, and it would be difficult to achieve the goal of weakening Yanhu's support of military resources from Goryeo.

Lin Fuyi supported the Saga clan and the Jinxiang clan to use troops directly against Shannan and other counties on the east coast of the Goryeo Peninsula from the east. The island is forever returned to the Saga clan. Second, Lin Fuyu, based on the military and horses of Jeju, united the forces of the Danla Kingdom and the Governor's Office of Dongzhou to form the Haidong Joint Camp Army, expanding the force to 12,000 to 18,000 people. Huaidong and the Zhen family jointly undertake military supplies and attack Hanyang and other counties on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula - thus forming a situation of military use on the third front of the Korean battlefield, not only to ensure that Korea can no longer support Yanhu with military supplies, but also to nail the Korean Navy Impossible to move on the west coast of the peninsula.

Taking into account the limited population resources of the Governor's Mansion in Dongzhou and the state of Danluo, Lin Fu authorized the Li family of Danluo and the Chi family of Dongzhou to recruit soldiers from Huaidong to ensure that the two forces fighting at the same time could maintain more than 3,000 troops.

Lin Fu transferred Zhao Hu back to Chongzhou this time, and Ma Yigong succeeded Zhao Hu as the commander of the Haidong Camp Army.

In addition to dispatching a brigade of elites from the Jinhai Battalion, they also dispatched troops and horses from the Gongyi Battalion to ensure that Huaidong's soldiers in Haidong increased to more than 9,000. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
