Lord of the House

Vol 10 Chapter 85: turning point

Lin Xuwen and Huang Jin went back to the mansion, and Sun Wenbing was waiting in Lin Xuwen's mansion.

"The emperor's mind has been decided, there is no room for Xie Chaozhong to lead the army to go on an expedition," Lin Xuwen didn't even bother to wash up and see Sun Wenbing again, he told him the result of today's court meeting, and said, "It seems that we want to take the best Prepare for bad consequences..."

"Maybe the consequences won't be so bad?" Huang Jinnian said.

Not many officials in the DPRK and China support Xie Chaozhong's expedition, but most people have the same idea as Huang Jinnian. Even if Xie Chaozhong's expedition is not good, it won't be bad.

Lin Xuwen sighed lightly and said, "In the past, when Hao Zongcheng was replaced by Li Zhuo as the leader, I don't think the consequences would be too bad, but the lessons of the defeat of Western Liaoning and the collapse of Yan Ji have not passed over the past two years, and this is repeated here. This one can't be taken off guard..."

Huang Jinnian was speechless, as far as the facts he knew now, replacing He Zongcheng with Li Zhuo as the commander to lead the Jizhen army was a plot to divide the Yanlu. On the surface, the situation did not seem to have changed much, but the Yanlu seemed to have been beaten by chicken blood. The two soldiers and horses that had been silent for a long time immediately became active, and they almost smashed the ground to the south, until they swept the entire Yanji land.

The whole situation of the Western Liaoning war situation happened, which completely conformed to the gist of "to be right, to win by odds" - Yanlu did this at the beginning, and even took out Songshan City, the gateway to Liaoyang, as a bait. Struggle for power, take the initiative to take this step and make a fool of yourself.

Lin Xuwen sighed: "The She family is originally a trapped beast and still fighting. As long as Jiangning and Huaidong are in the camp, the She family will not escape the end of their demise. Who would have thought that Jiangning would make such a bad move at this time..." Then he said to Sun Wenbing: "The issue of sending troops. It's still a secret, and some preparations must be made, but before Xie Chaozhong officially leads the army, at least Jiangning's side can't make a big splash. If the soldiers and horses of the She family are attacked under the city of Jiangning, the loss of Hekou will be heavy..."

After the Qujiatong bandit case, Quyang Town quickly fell. With Jiyun Club as the head, the party forces of Dongyang Township gathered together, and Hekou Town on the other side of Prison Island rose rapidly. Today, it is the first of the twenty-four towns in the outer city of Jiangning.

It can be said that the party in Dongyang Township in Jiangning has its roots in Hekou Town outside Donghua Gate.

Although the estuary is a prosperous town port, at the foot of the emperor, apart from weaving wicker as the wall, no formal city wall can be built, and the defense is very weak. Once the Huinan Gap is opened, even if only a small amount of Zhejiang and Fujian rebels leak in, Hekou Town outside Donghua Gate will also be one of the main targets of luxury homes.

"Should we withdraw part of the city first?" Huang Jinnian said.

"In the worst case, Jiangning City may not be able to hold it!" Sun Wenbing said, "According to the advice of the adults, if you can evacuate in advance, you should evacuate to the north bank of Chaotiandang. If you can't evacuate in advance, the prison island is the last foothold. Even if the extravagant army comes under pressure, it is not recommended to withdraw to the city!"

"Even if Huinan opens a gap, the luxury family should not be able to capture Jiangning City, right?" Huang Jinnian said.

The Royal Battalion has 80,000 soldiers and horses, and not all of them will be sent to Huinan. Jiangning will retain a considerable number of garrison soldiers and horses.

Jiangning is a majestic city built under the supervision of Emperor Gaozu. It is surrounded by rivers and mountains, and it is extremely dangerous. The city wall is low and the mountain is three feet high. The terrain is easy, and the city wall is as high and steep as a cliff. Jiangning City was built in that year, and Gaozu said that Xiongcheng could hold one million soldiers. It was hard for Huang Jinnian to imagine how many soldiers and horses the luxury family had to send over to capture Jiangning?

Lin Xuwen shook his head and smiled bitterly. To say that the city is steep and the danger of Yanjing is solid, which city in the world can match? When the Yanlu captured Yanjing City, why did it cost one soldier and one soldier?

In Ruyi Garden, Han Bin walked into the secret courtyard and led him into the wing.

Chen Ruyi was sitting next to She Feihu and talking, Han Bin bowed to She Feihu, and there was uncontrollable excitement in his lowered voice, and said, "Just as Second Young Master expected, today's court meeting, Xie Chaozhong will lead the troops. The expedition has been decided; in order to confuse us, Jiang Ning will claim to use Xie Chaozhong to go to Jiangzhou to replace Yue Lengqiu, but in fact it is intended to be in western Zhejiang... Although this matter is confidential, Wang Chao is so proud of himself that he informs his subordinates in full. "

"This level of tricks to hide the sky and cross the sea, and want to hide the sea from us, really laughed!" She Feihu sneered, seemingly forgetting that he had suffered from Huaidong's loss of hiding the sky and crossing the sea before.

Han Bin smiled and said: "Wang Chao and others, at this time, they have already regarded the military exploits in western Zhejiang as their own, and their words are very frivolous. Looking at this situation, Wang Chao, Yu Bijiang and other young masters in Jiangning City , I also intend to go on an expedition with the army, so as to gain some military exploits to smear the facade, the second son will teach them a good lesson when that time..."

"No," She Feihu said, "I will stay in Jiangning. You should try your best to persuade Wang Chao to give up the idea of ​​joining the army. Wang Chao stays in Jiangning City, and it will be of great use to us. You must also continue to stay in Wang Chao. Super around..."

"Second Young Master stays in Jiangning, so West Zhejiang is..." Han Bin asked in surprise.

"It's good if you know it in your heart..." She Feihu nodded, affirming Han Bin's guess, and then said to Chen Ruyi, "In order to pull Wang Chao onto the boat, you have to make some sacrifices. The hero of the founding of the family, I will also uphold justice for you, and I will not humiliate you."

"Ruyi has no father or mother, and regards the Governor and the Second Young Master as relatives. For the sake of a luxurious family, Ruyi is willing to go through fire and water." Chen Ruyi said.

"Well!" She Feihu nodded and said, "Then spread the news to western Zhejiang immediately. The development of the situation will definitely surprise everyone in Jiangning..."

"The defeat is like a mountain," Gao Zongting sighed after reading the secret letter delivered by Jiangning Express. Emperor Chongguan exchanged Hao Zongcheng for Li Zhuo. It can be said that he was caught in the alienation of Yan's captives, but Emperor Yongxing did not. He took the initiative to take a big bad move, and also disrupted Huaidong's deployment, saying, "If Xie Chaozhong is defeated in Huinan, Jiangning's morale will be severely hit; Jiangning has more than 200 people. I haven't experienced military affairs in 2010, and when the extravagant army is overwhelmed, although there are still 30,000 to 40,000 defenders in Jiangning City, it is very likely that they will be defeated without a fight..."

"The situation is forcing Huaidong to get chestnuts from the fire," Ye Junan said. "If the situation in Jiangning is bad, Dong Yuan's reaction is the most difficult to predict!"

"The Changhuai Army is on the north bank of the Huaihe River, between Haozhou and Shouzhou, and Dong Yuan has not many soldiers and horses to use," Qin Chengzu said, "Dongyang has to send someone over there, even if Dong Yuan really has any ambitions, Dongyang must also Stop the Huaixi soldiers and horses and prevent them from entering Jiangning!"

Dong Yuan led Huaixi troops and horses to aid Jiangning, and there would be a huge gap of six to seven hundred li in the entire defense line of Huai, which could easily be taken advantage of by the captives of Yan. This would be the worst consequence, even worse than the capture of Jiangning City for the She Family.

"Even if Dong Yuan returned to aid, most of them were ordered to do so. The nature of Dongyang's block was serious," Cao Zi'ang said worriedly, "Can Dongyang have the determination to send troops to intercept it?"

"..." Lin Bie looked at the map hanging on the wall with his arms folded, and pointed forcefully at the prison island in the northeast corner of Jiangning City, and said, "From now on, I will lead Zhao Hu and lead Hailing City Commander, and lead the army to be the first in the army. The brigade was stationed in Hailing; with Yang Yihang, Hu Yuer, Chen Enze and other temple-mountain camps, all of them were incorporated into the third water battalion, stationed in Hailing - 10,000 troops and horses were assembled in Hailing, the situation in Jiangning was as expected, those steps Once the fall, Hailing soldiers and horses can be the advance army, with the prison island as the foundation, first block Chaotiandang, and wait for our army to return to help!"

"At this time, I can't count on Dongyang's determination, and Huaidong's own troops and horses are the most assured. Blocking Chaotiandang, so that Huaixi troops and horses can't cross the river, no matter how ambitious Dong Yuan is, but for his own safety, he will not May give up the defense of the line of Haozhou and Shouzhou!" Gao Zongting said.

After She Feixiong led his troops westward into Jiangxi, he stayed behind in western Zhejiang and controlled the troops and horses of Chun'an, Tonglu and Wuyuan.

Tian Chang and Su Tingzhan, who is guarding Dongyang County, although they are both from Zhejiang County, but both Tiexin and the She family go to the dark side, and they also gain the trust of the She family's father and son. of fresh blood.

It was already mid-July that Jiangning used Xie Chaozhong to lead troops to send troops from southern Huizhou to attack western Zhejiang.

The Qianjiang River is in the east of Tongziwu and joins with the Daqing River which originates from Huaiyu Mountain in Huizhou, and the water potential becomes magnificent. Tongziwu was originally an inconspicuous dock on the north bank of the Qianjiang River, but the Zhejiang-Fujian Army could not capture Yuling Pass from the Huinan Army, and was then forced to take the defensive. In order to prevent Huinan from going south from Yuling Pass, it had to To strengthen the Heguwu Fort along the Daqingxi River, Tongziwu controls and guards the Daqingxi mouth, which is located at a key point, and Tian Chang will set up the commander's tent here.

Tian Chang had less than 20,000 troops in western Zhejiang. In addition to guarding against the Anhui Southern Army leaving Yuling Pass, he also had to guard against the Hanghu Army and Huaidong's advance along the Qianjiang River to attack Tonglu in the lower reaches. The mountains in western Zhejiang are high and the water is dangerous, so there are only a few tunnels where soldiers can be used. Although Tian Chang has not many soldiers and horses~www.wuxiaspot.com~, relatively speaking, it is easier than Su Tingzhan, who guards Dongyang County.

When Yue Lengqiu went to Jiangzhou to supervise the war, he transferred some troops and horses from the Huinan Army. The strength of the Huinan Army was only about 20,000, but it did not mean that the number of Huinan troops increased to 60,000 or 70,000. Tian Chang could not feel it. pressure.

From Huizhou to West Zhejiang, Daqingxi River Valley is the most convenient road, and the most dangerous place is Yuling Pass.

Yuling Pass is located between Fuyu Mountain and Tiantian Mountain. Even so, the altitude of Yuling Pass is as high as 300 zhang, and the ridge walls on both sides cannot be climbed - but from Yuling Pass, it enters Daqingxi. Although the road in the river valley is far from being comparable to that of the plains, it is also not a risky one.

Xie Chaozhong led the troops to attack western Zhejiang, and told the She family to see a silver lining strategically, but it was not easy for Tian Chang to actually command the battle.

The second son sneaked to Jiangning via Tongziwu, but the governor did not authorize the second son to preside over the war in western Zhejiang, and the eldest son could not get away in Yuzhang, no wonder the burden was on him?

Tian Chang sat at the table and looked at the secret letter from Jiangning, thinking that he had to shoulder the important task of western Zhejiang alone, not much excitement, but more of a breathless pressure.

To cope with Xie Chaozhong's use of troops from southern Huizhou to western Zhejiang, only Chun'an, Wuyuan, and Tonglu are far from enough troops, but Jiangxi, Dongyang County, Jin'an Prefecture, Jian'an Prefecture, where can there be soldiers and horses to draw?

"General Tian, ​​don't come to Wuxian!" The guards led a person in, but it was Zheng Mingjing, the personal guard of Shewenzhuang.

Tian Chang stood up and asked, "Why is the governor willing to let General Zheng come over!" He thought that Zheng Mingjing had come to western Zhejiang to lead the troops on his behalf.

"The Jin'an convoy is just outside the gate of the mansion, and the governor is hiding in it. General Tian must not disturb others." Zheng Mingjing said. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
