Lord of the House

In May, the whole east of Mindong was full of turmoil, and the city of Jin'an was naturally restless.

Not to mention the operation of Yizhou Island in Huaidong, it is still in the south of Yongjia Prefecture, and continues to strengthen its military preparations in Cangnan, which is divided between Fujian and Zhejiang, directly threatening Xiapu, an important gateway town in the northeast of Jin'an Prefecture.

Including the soldiers of the Shuibu battalion stationed in Hengyang a little north, Huaidong's total garrison in the south of Yongjia Prefecture and directly targeting Xiapu has reached 30,000, while the Zhejiang and Fujian troops in Xiapu and the surrounding docks, including the northern border of Xiapu The total number of troops stationed in direct defense of Cangnan was only 20,000.

Although the Zhejiang and Fujian troops still have 20,000 soldiers in Jin'an City, at the same time, Huaidong can transport more reinforcements by sea from other places, and land directly from Sandu'ao on the east bank of Xiapu, forming a pincer attack on Xiapu.

After entering May, the storm in the East China Sea has increased sharply. It is not a good season to organize troops and horses to directly land on the shore from Mindong by sea, but no one can guarantee that Huaidong will not make a surprise attack. The situation is encircled.

Huaidong's troops in eastern Zhejiang are already close to 100,000. The troops and horses in Shengzhou, even if they travel by land, can travel from the coastal counties of Mingzhou Prefecture, via Huipu and Yueqing to the south of the Yongjia River at a relatively fast speed. , to Hengyang, Pingyang, and Cangnan to increase military pressure on Xiapu.

Since the end of the year, the Bamin forces have gradually withdrawn from the prefectures and counties in southern Fujian, so as not to be divided and attacked by Huaidong, but Jin'anfu, which occupies the core position in eastern Fujian, is the foundation of the Bamin forces, not to give up can give up.

The Song family made a clear statement that they would not give up Quanzhou, and recruited villagers to strengthen the defense of Quanzhou.

By this time, Shewenzhuang was basically certain that the Song family had already colluded with Huaidong, but the Song family had been operating Quanzhou for many years, and at this time they were heavily guarded. The war was brought to an early start at this time.

Not to mention that Huaidong's troops in Yizhou can directly aid Quanzhou, as long as Huaidong uses troops from Cangnan to Xiapu, Jin'an will be under great pressure. Furthermore, even if one knew that the war in East Mindong had to be fought, the later the fight was delayed, the better it would be for the luxury family.

Under this situation, Shewenzhuang could only acquiesce that the Song clan would stay in Quanzhou. While deploying troops and horses from Jiangxi to strengthen the defense of Jin'an Prefecture, he accelerated the migration of the children of the Bamin clan and their families to Jiangxi along the upper reaches of the Minjiang River. .

In order not to cause a collapse-like chaos, and to avoid seriously dampening the morale of the Bamin generals, Shewenzhuang only informed the core layer of the other six clans about the bad situation between Song Jia and the Song family and Mindong.

The real situation is strictly controlled at the upper level, and it is strictly forbidden to leak. It is said that Jiangxi has fields and houses to give, but how can it be easy to ask ordinary generals, officials and people to abandon their homes and move west?

Even if it is to give an explanation to the middle and lower-level generals and the people, the First Battle of Mindong is still impossible. Only when there is a war as an excuse can the people be forcibly evacuated without worrying about causing a strong backlash and confusion among ordinary generals.

We can't give up Jin'an Mansion easily, and we can't really fight against Huaidong in Mindong. We also need to prevent Huaidong from making a surprise attack and suddenly dispatching troops to contain the troops of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army in Xiapu, Jin'an and other cities. - If you change someone else, you may not be able to withstand as much pressure as Shewenzhuang.

At the end of May, it was a scorching summer in Jin'an City. In the Beiyuan of the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang and Fujian, Shewenzhuang was gathering his confidants to secretly discuss the westward withdrawal. She Feihu walked in with a crumpled piece of paper, excited. Said: "Jiang Ning's secret report, I will say that this group of idiots will make mistakes one day..."

Although She Feihu is no longer in charge of troops, and even some high-level military conferences are no longer present every time, but after he returned to Jin'an, he was still in charge of intelligence affairs, and did not leave Shewenzhuang completely idle.

The passage of the luxury family from Wuyuan, through Shangrao, through Xianxialing, through Pucheng, and down the Minjiang River to Jinan is very fast. Jiangning has all kinds of anomalies, and the secret report of making wax pills is quickly passed between the mountains and mountains of Zhejiang and Fujian, only four days later than Xuzhou.

Shewenzhuang took the small piece of paper that was still stained with wax from She Feihu. A small piece of paper could not write many words, but Shewenzhuang frowned more and more tightly. Remove the chip.

Wen Chengyun, Hu Zongguo, Shi Hejin, and Zheng Mingjing, the bodyguard of Shewenzhuang, did not know what kind of secret report came from Jiangning, which made the second son so excited, and made the governor fall into such a long period of contemplation.

After a while, Shewenzhuang remembered that the secret report should be circulated to everyone, and said: "Since the fifth month of May, Emperor Yue has watched the military exercise of the imperial camp in person. Rumor has it that Yue Lengqiu colluded with us..."

At this time, there were rumors that Yue Lengqiu colluded with this side. Such rumors were even considered ridiculous by Shewenzhuang and the others.

Now Huaidong and Jiangzhou have formed a trend of fighting against the Zhejiang and Fujian troops, occupying a great strategic advantage. Shewenzhuang even hopes that Huaidong can fake a fight in East Fujian, so that they can take advantage of the situation to withdraw the main force. into Jiangxi.

Under such a situation, Yue Lengqiu had lost his mind, so he would give up the high position and military power that Jiang Ning gave him, and risked the notoriety of betrayal and surrendered to collude with this side.

If there are several hidden stakes in Jiangning, you might as well put some rumors to confuse the public.

However, after She Wenhu was forced to withdraw from Jiangning, the staff deployed in Jiangning City cleaned Gu Wuchen and Yue Lengqiu several times. The hidden piles that were not exposed were Jin An's last eyes and ears in Jiangning. At the risk of exposure, what about making rumors of little value?

The secret report was circulated in the hands of everyone. Of course, Shewenzhuang and others were more convinced than Huaidong that someone in Jiangning was leading Xie Chaozhong's troops to fight...

"It's really God's help to the Governor!" said the boss Ma Wenchengyun.

Compared with fighting Yue Lengqiu on the western front, the generals of Jin'an Prefecture voted, and ninety-nine out of one hundred people were willing to fight Xie Chaozhong.

It's not without reason that Yue Lengqiu was able to recover from the sinking - Yue Lengqiu was the governor of Dongmin, and there are many people here who have dealt with him a lot. He knows that although Yue Lengqiu's reputation is not as dazzling as Lin Bie and Li Zhuo, he is absolutely He is a first-class official with Dong Yuan and Chen Zhihu...

Yue Lengqiu knew military affairs, and he also had a way of winning people's hearts. The Huinan Army and the Changhuai Army could be said to be powerful armies formed by Yue Lengqiu. Yue Lengqiu led the remnants of the Changhuai Army to defend Xuzhou, and Liu An'er led more than 200,000 Huai Si troops to surround and fight for more than half a year, but he just couldn't get down. This is an impressive record, pushing Yue Lengqiu to the world famous general. Get your seat.

As long as Yue Lengqiu was in Jiangzhou, people from Zhejiang and Fujian never thought that they could easily win Jiangzhou.

Today, Shewenzhuang seems to be constantly drawing troops from Jiangxi, but what is actually left to Shefeixiong to guard the Yuzhang is the elite of the elite, mainly to guard against Yue Lengqiu. Another is the extravagant hope that Yue Lengqiu will cooperate with Huaidong to fight in the post-autumn period, and will be able to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, and let She Feixiong lure Jiangzhou soldiers into favorable terrain to annihilate them in the field.

But obviously, in the face of the old fox Yue Lengqiu, such a strategy is difficult to work, and they did not place much hope in Shewenzhuang.

It was different with Xie Chaozhong.

Xie Chaozhong, as the commander of the imperial army, is one of the most important military figures in Jiangning. Jin An's hidden stake in Jiangning naturally pays close attention to Xie Chaozhong.

Xie Chaozhong was not without merit. He was born as a general, with outstanding martial arts and military exploits, so he was appointed as the commander of the Weiying and went south with King Ning.

Xie Chaozhong's military exploits are the merits of killing the enemy, not the merits of the unified army.

It's not that Xie Chaozhong must not understand military affairs, but Xie Chaozhong had a high position in Jiangning, and he was greedy for **** and wealth. The battalion and army are all under the control, and they must not be supported by their generals. Although Emperor Yue was kept in the dark, those who had a little contact with the generals of the imperial army had a deeper understanding of Xie Chaozhong.

At least in terms of winning people's hearts, Xie Chaozhong is a thousand miles away from Yue Lengqiu - when it comes to the qualifications of a general, the most important item is the royal man. The royal man can't do the law, and the military book can't be used by memorizing it.

The battle of Changping in history is a living example.

More importantly, Xie Chaozhong was scrambling to lead the troops to fight at this time, so he saw that Zhejiang and Fujian were weak and wanted to jump out to grab the military exploits. With this kind of mentality, he is most likely to underestimate the enemy and rashly advance, and it is easy to enter the Internet...

Jiangning really wants to use Xie Chaozhong, and it is good news for the people of Jin'an if they come to them.

The long history Hu Zongguo said: "Chen Xiyan is not an idiot, and Huaidong is unlikely to let Xie Chaozhong mess up the situation... Xie Chaozhong has Yu Xinyuan's support behind him, and the other ministers in Jiangning seem to have no performance!"

"Emperor Yongxing doesn't seem to trust foreign soldiers..." Hu Mingjing said.

"It's a big taboo to change generals before the battle. With the lessons of Western Liaoning ahead, Jiang Ning is afraid that he will not easily use Xie Chaozhong to replace Yue Lengqiu," Shi Hejin said, "Furthermore, if Yue Lengqiu can come back to the governor, it should be the Yue Lengqiu. This is what the emperor likes. Even if he is suspicious of foreign soldiers, the Emperor Yue has no reason to withdraw Yue Lengqiu at this time..."

"Huinan," She Wenzhuang said calmly. Although there is not much information so far, he has made the same judgment as Huaidong. Only by judging the right direction can he make arrangements. Nan open another front for us! If he wants to lead the army to fight for success, this is probably the only choice he has at this time..."

When Shewenzhuang said this, Wen Chengyun, Hu Zongguo, Shi Hejin, Hu Mingjing and others had mixed reactions.

Now Huaidong and Jiangzhou are fighting against them, which makes them extremely painful. Jiangning will increase troops to South Hui, and then start a front to attack western Zhejiang, even if Xie Chaozhong is an idiot, 50,000 or 60,000 troops will flow from Yuling Pass. Coming to the west of Zhejiang, this cheap is also difficult for them to pick up. What's more, Huinan and Deng Yu, the old rival ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, are hard to chew.

She Feihu's eyes were bright, and he squeezed his fist excitedly, and said: "Xie Chaozhong came out from Huinan, that is the best. From Huinan through Ningguo, you can directly threaten Jiangning, Jiangning is in Huaidong, Taihu and Jiangzhou. , Huaixi's troops and horses will be deployed in chaos..."

"The gap in Huinan is not easy to open!" She Wenzhuang said.

From the west of Zhejiang to the south of Huinan, the Yuling Pass Road is an inevitable key point. Even if Xie Chaozhong led his troops from Yuling Pass to the west of Zhejiang, it was impossible not to garrison Yuling Pass to guard the back road.

"If Xie Chaozhong can be lured in and annihilated, even if the gap in Huinan cannot be opened, the result will not be worse than now!" She Feihu said.

Xie Chaozhong sent troops from Huinan. It seems that they have to deal with three routes at the same time, but in fact, Huinan Dengyu has always been a threat to western Zhejiang. Jiangning will strengthen Jiangzhou without strengthening Huinan, which makes Yue Lengqiu launch from Jiangzhou. The offensive is more severe.

Now that Xie Chaozhong is sending troops from Huinan, Jiangning will strengthen Huinan and weaken Jiangzhou.

Yue Lengqiu is a relatively conservative person. She Feixiong guards the Yu Zhang, at least there is no need to worry about problems in Jiangxi.

On the coast of East Fujian, it has long been secretly agreed to give up, but giving up Jin'an House and retreating to the middle reaches of the Minjiang River is too heavy a blow to the prestige of the She family and the morale of the generals. The government has been keeping an eye on Huaidong's deployment of troops on the southern front.

If we can give up Jin'an House and fight a victory in western Zhejiang, we can resist the negative impact in this regard. Even if the Huinan gap cannot be penetrated, it will be beneficial and harmless.

If it can penetrate the gap in Huinan and hit the heart of Nanyue with a single punch, the meaning is too great - She Feihu did not dare to imagine this possibility, and resolutely said: "I will go to Jiangning!" My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
