Lord of the House

During the East China Sea War, when Du Rong saw Song Jia by Lin Fu's side, he considered the possibility of Song's defection, but thought that Song Fu was a pragmatic person.

Du Rong and Du Cheli have been in Jeju and Dongzhou for many years. Since the ships sailing from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the Haidong area are basically controlled by Huaidong, Du Rong and Du Cheli will not deliberately go to the Central Plains. The news was blocked, and the news was blocked. This time it was less than a month after landing from Mingzhou. I was still feeling the turmoil of the world and the changes of the current situation. I didn't expect to see Song Fu in Mingzhou and beside Lin Fu.

Seeing Song Fu's moment, Du Rong suddenly understood that the situation in Zhejiang and Fujian has reached the brink of collapse, and the situation has developed to this stage!

"Don't come to Wuxian, Duke Du!" Lin Fu walked over and saw that Du Rong's white hair was still there, and his spirit was much better than when he was just captured.

"The Caomin pays respects to the Duke of Pengcheng!" He Zuyanyong was a defeated general, not to mention that he was still living on the Huaidong site, Du Rong and Du Cheli both came forward to greet Lin Fu.

"Dong Gong, General Du are polite," Lin Fu said with a smile, "You and Song Gong are old friends, so don't inquire about your relatives..."

Du Rong was always worried that he and Du Cheli were captured and surrendered, which would implicate their relatives in Mindong, but in the past few years, the East China Sea has been under the control of Huaidong, and there is absolutely no news from Mindong to Haidong.

"Du Rusong and the Wen family competed for land property, and a case broke out. After the official position was dismissed, no one held an important position in the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian. In the past two years, at the invitation of the old man, more than 300 relatives of the Du family moved to Quanzhou. Living, there is no ups and downs..." Song Fu said.

"Many thanks to Duke Song for taking care of you." Du Rong said with a bow, whether it was Huaidong's intentional arrangement or not, it was always something to be grateful for if the relatives could avoid the disaster of war.

The Du family was a small clan who moved in later in Mindong, and could not be compared with the big clan with eight surnames. Du Rong, Du Cheli, and Du Rusong are the three pillars of the Du family. Du Rong and Du Cheli "died" and Du Rusong resigned. Du's family in Mindong is even more insignificant. It is no accident that the luxury family ignores them. In the end, it was also Huaidong's intention to block the news of their capture and surrender.

"The past is gone, but the future can be pursued. In this battle on the southern front, Huaidong will seize the entire territory of eastern Fujian and drive the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels to the middle and upper reaches of the Minjiang River," Lin Fu said, "Using Fujian to rule Fujian, Only in order to ensure the peace of the place, before the righteousness, will Duke and General Du be willing to contribute to the elimination of the war and the restoration of peace in Eastern Fujian?"

Du Rong and Du Cheli looked at each other, and between these three words, Lin Fu opened his mouth to invite each other, knowing that they were summoned to meet, and he was both surprised and suspicious.

"Due to the trust of Duke Pengcheng, Du Rong is grateful, but at this time, it is hard to answer this question from Duke Pengcheng in a hurry!" Du Rong replied.

Du Cheli was silent and did not say a word.

"It's okay," Lin Bie said with a slight smile, "I have to accompany Duke Song for two days in Xikou, and Duke Du will give me an answer by then."

The Song clan will officially change their flags, and Du Rong and Du Cheli will be "resurrected" again, which will be a strong blow to the morale of the recalcitrant forces in eastern Fujian. The war is also beneficial without any harm - from this point of view, it is more meaningful than Du Rong and Du Cheli's efforts to serve Huaidong from now on.

In addition, we must also consider the governance issues after the recovery of southern Fujian and eastern Mindong - Jiangning's penetration and influence in eastern Fujian is almost equivalent to nothing. Lin Fu will let the Song family integrate into Huaidong, but he will not let Song family control the Mindong area, so as to prevent another gate valve from being raised. One of the main reasons why Rong and Du Cheli left the mountain.

But for Du Rong, since he went to persuade Du Cheli to surrender, he also wanted to save the lives of Du Cheli and many generals, and he did not have the heart to betray Shewenzhuang. Bie suddenly invited him, and it was really hard for him to answer.

Lin Fu asked Chen Hualian to send Du Rong and Du Che away, and invited Song Fu to re-enter the room to talk. Fu Qinghe, Gao Zongting, Ye Junan, Liang Wenzhan, Hu Zhiyong and others all sat with him indoors.

"My lord's actions really set Du Rong on fire," Song Fu said, knowing the personnel affairs of Mindong the most, "Back then, Shewenzhuang was able to use Du Rong to sneak into Jiangning, including Shu and Cheng Zhu's family, who were secretly invested. Du Rong is directly in control of them, and it is not easy to see Du Rong repeatedly..."

It is precisely because Song Fu is very familiar with the affairs of Mindong that Lin Fu invited Song Fu to come over to be a staff advisor for the war in Mindong, and the change of flags in Quanzhou was handed over to Song Yi and Song Bo.

Lin Bie smiled slightly and said, "I can understand that when working behind enemy lines, one must have an exceptionally firm revolutionary will."

Song Fu was slightly startled, and the words in Lin Bing's mouth were very fresh. Thinking about it, it made sense...

Returning to the topic before Du Rong came, Lin Fu asked Song Fu: "It is possible that Shewenzhuang has left Jin'an Mansion?"

"The news is blocked very tightly, but according to what I know about Shewenzhuang, the Battle of Western Zhejiang is the only chance for him to disrupt the entire southern battle situation. I'm afraid he won't let him go all out," Song Fu said. " Especially the problem between the Song family and Quanzhou, it is impossible to hide from him..."

Gao Zongting, Ye Junan, and others who were accompanying them also felt the same way: if the Song family was of the same mind with the She family, the She family could barely defend Jin'an Mansion. It would be really unwise for Shewenzhuang to have realized that there was something wrong with the Song family long ago, and still insisted on guarding Jin'an Mansion.

Since Song Fu judged at this time that Shewenzhuang secretly left Jin'an House and went to the west of Zhejiang to preside over the war, on the one hand, it means that the resistance of Huaidong to recover the east of Fujian will be further reduced, but on the other hand, it means that the west of Zhejiang and the south of Huizhou will be further reduced. The development of the situation along the way is likely to develop according to the worst situation expected before.

Is it necessary for Huaidong to adjust the previous strategy and deployment of troops at this time?

Lin Bie frowned, thought about it for a moment, and said slowly: "This Mindong still has to fight, Mindong doesn't fight, the situation is deadlocked there, it seems to be able to suspend the crisis, but the next dilemma is more difficult to solve... …”

"Even if Shewenzhuang can lure Xie Chaozhong into the west of Zhejiang and annihilate him, if he wants to completely disrupt the situation on the southern front, he will inevitably occupy Huizhou and bring his troops to Jiangning," Gao Zongting said. Home in Wuyuan and Chun'an, there are at most 30,000 elites, and no amount can lure Xie Chaozhong to go deeper, but after Shewenzhuang defeated Xie Chaozhong in western Zhejiang, he wanted to occupy Huizhou, and he had to direct his troops to Jiangning. Jiangning is overwhelmed, and 30,000 troops are far from enough—after Shewenzhuang defeated Xie Chaozhong in western Zhejiang, where will they urgently transfer troops and fill them in from Yuling Pass?"

Gao Zongting looked at Song Fu, and hoped that Song Fu, who was familiar with Shewenzhuang, would answer this question - Song Fu's judgment on Shewenzhuang was the most valuable reference.

"The county along the Minjiang River is too far away, and there are only two routes for Shewenzhuang to urgently deploy troops to the west of Zhejiang, one is the troops from Eastern Jiangxi to the east of Poyang Lake, and the other is the troops and horses in the middle of Zhejiang from Dongyang and Quzhou Prefecture. They can all be transferred to the west of Zhejiang and enter Yuling Pass at a relatively fast speed, directly threatening Jiangning," Song Fu said, "If Shewenzhuang can win Yuling Pass relatively smoothly, he will transfer Dongyang County and Quzhou troops... …”

"Shewenzhuang will give up Guyuan in central Zhejiang?" Ye Junan asked in a raised voice.

"Abandoning sons and vying for the first place!" Lin Fu said, breathing in a breath of cool air, "Even if Zhejiang and Fujian voluntarily abandon Guyuan in the middle of Zhejiang and cannot judge the development of the situation, we still can't go deep into the western part of Quzhou, otherwise we will have the worry of being attacked by the enemy on both sides."

"It doesn't go deep into the western part of Quzhou, but as long as Dongyang County and Zhuji County can be won, the situation in eastern Zhejiang and southern Zhejiang will be complete, which will benefit Huaidong without any harm." Ye Junan said.

By winning Dongyang County, even if the eastern gateway of Guyuan in central Zhejiang, eastern Zhejiang and southern Zhejiang can be completely integrated, as long as a small number of troops and horses in Huaidong use favorable terrain to block the enemy soldiers in western Quzhou, eastern Zhejiang and Zhejiang can be guaranteed. South is safe. Huaidong's defense line in the two Zhejiang provinces can be shortened by more than half, which means that the garrison can be reduced by more than half.

"This is beneficial to Huaidong without any harm," Song Fu said, "but to ensure that Dongyang County is successfully captured after the troops are drawn in Shewenzhuang, then Huaidong's troops and horses in Shengzhou and other places can be deployed in advance. To prevent the chaos in Jiangning - Shewenzhuang is also fighting for time. Huaidong troops and horses can't help Jiangning in a short time, Shewenzhuang will have relatively ample time to toss Jiangning..."

For more than half a year, Huaidong has been in a state of turmoil on the eastern front, and the direction of the attack has also fluctuated between central Zhejiang and eastern Fujian.

The She family drew troops from Jiangxi and strengthened their forces considerably in Jin'an Prefecture and Dongyang County. The strength of the Zhejiang-Fujian army in Yuzhang was roughly reduced to 50,000, and the strength of the western Zhejiang was 30,000. In the middle of Zhejiang (Dongyang County and Quzhou Prefecture) and Mindong (Jin'an Prefecture and along the Minjiang River) each deployed more than 40,000 elites, just to resist Huaidong's possible offensive from these two lines after the autumn.

Even if the She family spares time for the troops and horses of Dongyang County and Quzhou Prefecture, as long as three or five thousand troops are left behind, Huaidong will use all his strength to use troops from Shengzhou—then naturally they cannot transfer Shengzhou troops to Xiaoshan to be ready at any time. Prepare to support Jiangning.

If the main force of Ao Canghai's army was transferred to Xiaoshan ahead of time, so as to be prepared for any changes in Jiangning, and if in the end there were only three or five thousand defenders in Dongyang County and couldn't take them, it would be extremely deplorable.

Seeing that everyone in the seat was silent, Song Fu said again: "Song Fu has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not..."

"Song Gong, please speak." Lin Fu said.

"Dong Yuan does not move in Huaixi, Jiangning is in chaos, what harm is there in Huaidong?" Song Fu said.

As soon as Song Fu said this, Ye Junan and the others were thinking: If there is a daughter, there really is a father!

When Xie Chaozhong's leadership of the army first surfaced, Song Jia wanted to talk about taking chestnuts out of the fire. When he came to Song Fu, he even suggested to condone the chaos in Jiangning - even if the luxury family captured Jiangning~www.wuxiaspot.com~ separated by the Yangtze River, in a short time The root of Huaidong can't be impacted by the inside, and the land in the south of the Yangtze River that will really suffer is the last foundation of the Wu Party and the Yongxing Emperor.

As soon as Song Fu's words were spoken, he could feel the abnormal atmosphere, and he just looked at Lin Fu quietly.

Fu Qinghe supported his knee with one arm, and said, "Huaidong can be today because he has experienced blood, fire, and rebirth from ashes. If the land in the south of the Yangtze River is slaughtered, it will not be Huaidong's fault. Huaidong cannot shoulder this responsibility. Otherwise, how to cut the mess with a quick knife..."

Fu Qinghe has always been sympathetic to the people and soldiers, and he also agreed with Song Fu, which surprised Gao Zongting, but thinking about it, Song Fu said this at this time, not without intention.

It is true that Song Fu, on behalf of the Song family, invested in Huaidong, but it is not without distinction:

If Huaidong does not have great ambitions, and still presses the court everywhere, then the Song family will be limited and not complete. Even if they use troops against Mindong this time, the Song family will first guarantee to defend Quanzhou and will not take the initiative. To launch an attack on Jin'an Mansion from the south——

If Huaidong has great ambitions, then the Song family's refuge at this time is from Longzhigong. Whether it is to fight Mindong this time or other things in the future, the Song family will do their best.

Thinking of this, Gao Zongting also said: "If you have the opportunity to take Dongyang County, you should take Dongyang County to ensure that the situation in eastern Zhejiang is complete..."

Taking Dongyang County first is in line with the interests of the local forces in eastern Zhejiang. Ye Junan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The situation on the eastern front has improved, and if Jiangning ever changes, Huaidong can really safely pull out the troops..."

Liang Wenzhan and Hu Zhiyong still had doubts, and Lin Fu made up his mind and said: "Okay, order Ao Canghai, Zhang Gou and other troops to hold their troops in Shengzhou and Luohe Mountain. If Shewenzhuang sends troops and horses from Dongyang County, eastern Zhejiang can take advantage of the emptiness. , that is, organize troops and horses to take Dongyang and Zhuji cities."
