Lord of the House

Lin Xuwen and Huang Jinnian successfully requested an order to leave the city to work as a teacher, and Emperor Yongxing was also escorted by a warship from the Jiangning Navy. In fact, it was also a surveillance. I was afraid that Lin Xuwen would go out of the city and go east under the pretext of going to the Jiangzhou Army to work as a teacher. It's impossible to cry.

One official ship and two **** warships, with more than 300 soldiers, escorted Lin Xuwen from the Nanshuimen to the Longzangpuxi River, bypassing the west of the city and entering the Yangtze River, and set the boat against the current to the west. As soon as the boat arrived in Dangtu County, Lin Xuwen encountered a messenger sent by Yue Lengqiu to Jiangning.

Only then did Lin Xuwen know that the big robber Yang Xiong led his army out of Dongting Lake a few days ago, went down the river, entered the mouth of Poyang Lake, and joined forces with Shefeixiong to attack Jiangzhou.

Although Luo Xiancheng, the king of Changle, had no major changes, Hu Wenmu was so overwhelmed that he did not dare to send troops from Jinghu to the east to help Jiangzhou. In Lin Xuwen's view, perhaps Hu Wenmu saw Jiangning's situation in danger and intended to preserve his strength. However, all in all, the situation in Jiangzhou immediately fell into a critical state.

The Jiangzhou army had 60,000 troops, half of which were under the jurisdiction of the former Jiangzhou system and envoy, and half of the troops were drawn from the Hanghu Army and the Huinan Army by Yue Lengqiu.

Yue Lengqiu went to Jiangzhou to supervise the battle, and Huang Binghao naturally couldn't get along with the original Jiangzhou system, so the Jiangzhou army was actually divided into two factions.

However, Yue Lengqiu has the righteous name of the court. The soldiers and horses drawn from the Hanghu Army and the Huinan Army are also attached to Yue Lengqiu. Moreover, most of the money and food of the Jiangzhou Army are supplied by Jiangning, so Yue Lengqiu usually It can also suppress Huang Binghao.

Jiangning called for assistance, Huang Binghao stayed behind in Jiangzhou, Yue Lengqiu led the main force of Jiangzhou army eastward, but after Jiangzhou was besieged, some Jiangzhou soldiers and horses were unwilling to go in with Yue Lengqiudong to relieve the siege of Jiangning. Ask to return to the division to first solve the siege of Jiangzhou.

The weather in Chizhou improved, and Luzhou also transferred some of the military rations to the past, but because of this, they were stalemate in the middle of the road and could not move. Yue Lengqiu was afraid of a mutiny, so he didn't dare to force it.

Yue Lengqiu's messenger went to Jiangning by boat. Lin Xuwen wanted to wait for Lin Tingli to meet across the river, and the three boats continued to wait in the river.

At night, I saw a small group of people on the south bank holding fire, and the boat was far away, so I couldn't see it clearly. Outpost scouts suspected of rebels searched along the river bank.

The Yangtze River flows upstream from Jiangning, actually heading southwest. After the rebels captured Xuanzhou, Xuanzhou was nearly 300 miles away from Jiangning, but Xuanzhou was only a hundred miles away from the Yangzi River.

Lin Xuwen went against the tide by boat all night, and it was not surprising to see a rebel sentry on the river bank at this time.

When the sky was white with fish belly, several warships came from the north shore, and Lin Tingli took a boat to cross the river to meet.

Lin Xuwen asked Lin Tingli to speak on the boat and said, "I haven't seen my second uncle for many years..."

Although Dongyang Mansion and Jiangning are only separated by a river, Lin Tingli will not go to Jiangning if he has nothing to do, and Lin Xuwen will not leave Jiangning if he has nothing to do. Lin Xuwen has been in Jiangning for two and a half years, but he has never had a chance to meet Lin Tingli.

"It's been twenty years?" Lin Tingli said with emotion, "The last time we met, you were still in your prime in the sequel, and when we meet again, your temples are also frosted..."

Twenty years ago, Lin Tingli was still a small official in Shiliang County, and Lin Xuwen was preparing to go to Beijing to take the exam. At that time, although the Lin family was considered a big family in Shiliang County, they were not even second to none in Dongyang Mansion. Changed, Lin's has the image of swallowing mountains and rivers?

Lin Tingli also knew when Jiangzhou was besieged, and said: "They were all the characters of the two lakes and five heroes back then. Yang Xiong's force of water bandits was not weak, and it was not the main force of Jinghaihai camp that could not win the battle. Jiangzhou..."

"A few years ago, when Luo Xiancheng captured Jichun, Yang Xiong came down to join forces and wanted to cross the river and enter Jiangxi. At that time, Luzhou and Jiangning were also in turmoil, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers. Luo Xiancheng later changed his mind and returned to Suizhou; Yang Xiong was unable to support himself, so he returned to Dongting Lake. , did not enter Poyang Lake," Lin Xuwen said, "Yang Xiongying has long been in contact with the She family, and this time he will be instigated to Jiangzhou, which is not an accident. The old seventeenth is in Xiaoshan, and he is worried about Luo Xiancheng's change. Dong Yuan gave Contained in the north and unable to move, Hu Wenmu may have the mind to preserve his strength, if Luo Xiancheng goes south again, even if Jiang Ning holds it, the problem in the west is still very serious!"

"What choice will Yue Lengqiu make?" Lin Tingli asked, "Should we continue to advance eastward, or retreat to resolve the siege of Jiangzhou first..."

"She Feixiong led troops to attack Jiangzhou, which is also expected," Lin Xuwen said, "I went to Chizhou to see Yue Lengqiu, which is also what the old seventeen meant, hoping that Yue Lengqiu could grit his teeth and insist on going east. If Luzhou can't supply the food and military supplies of the Jiangzhou Army, the old seventeen hopes that Dongyang can provide some - this is the letter from the old seventeen to the second uncle..."

Lin Tingli took the letter, read it quickly, and asked, "Will Yue Lengqiu be persuaded?"

"Yue Lengqiu actually has no choice. If he retreats, the She family's soldiers and horses will probably let Jiangning go, first move to the right wing, come out from Xuanzhou, take Nanling, Qingyang and other places, and then take Chizhou. Stopping the Huaidong Army's westward advance by land, then the two armies of the luxury family will go to attack Jiangzhou," Lin Xuwen said, "Yue Lengqiu's retreat will not only face the threat of attack, but also the grain road will be completely cut off. It will be even more dangerous for Yue Lengqiu to take that step. In the current situation, Yue Lengqiu is worried that after the fall of Jiangzhou, the siege of Jiangning will be difficult to solve. We relieved him of this worry and advised him to continue eastward, and the problem would not be too big."

Lin Tingli nodded, even if Yue Lengqiu didn't go east, as long as he occupied the Chizhou area, and Dongyang and Luzhou supplied food and grass, they would be able to isolate the two main forces of the She family. Shewenzhuang led the 70,000-80,000 Zhejiang-Fujian army to capture Jiangning, but it would still be a tree without roots and water without a source.

If Yue Lengqiu retreated and Shewenzhuang led 70,000 to 80,000 Zhejiang and Fujian troops to follow and then march westward, the problem would become very difficult.

If the Huaidong Army did not follow westward, the Jiangzhou Army would likely be wiped out. From Jiangning to the west, including the entire Jiangxi County, it would fall into the pockets of the luxury family. She family and Luo Xiancheng will form a trend of attacking Jinghu Lake. At that time, only Liang Chengchong was guarding Nanyang, and it was difficult to separate Jingxiang and Yanhu.

The loss of Jiangzhou was a small matter, but the Jiangzhou army could not be lost, but if the Huaidong army followed westward, the situation would be extremely unfavorable for Huaidong.

One is from the northern foot of Yishan Mountain to the north, Jiangning to the west, to Chizhou, which is a vast area similar to a triangle. In this area, from east to west, there are plains, hills, and steep mountain roads in order. To Chizhou and further west, only the narrow area along the coast can pass.

After the Shejia seized Ningguo, there was a 300-mile road from Ningguo to Jiangning, but from Ningguo to the north along the northern foot of Yishan Mountain, via Xuanzhou to the bank of the Yangtze River, the shortest distance was nearly 150 miles; Xuanzhou, taking the road from Nanling and Qingyang to Chizhou, is only 300 miles away.

This meant that it would be relatively easy for the luxury family to intercept the Huaidong Army's westward advance in this triangular area where plains, hills, and steep mountains were intertwined. The Huaidong army will also face an increasingly difficult situation as it advances westward.

The second is that after Shewenzhuang and Shefeixiong join forces, the main force of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops will be gathered in Jiangzhou, and the total force will exceed 100,000. Including the troops of Dongting Lake Yang Xiong, the force will exceed that of Huaidong Army, Jiangzhou Army.

Even if the Huaidong Army arrived in Jiangzhou in time, it would still have to travel far and wide and work on an expedition.

If there must be a decisive battle, whether to choose Jiangning or Jiangzhou, which is thousands of miles away, you will want to understand: Naturally, the battle in Jiangning will be most beneficial to Huaidong, then you must convince Yue Lengqiu to fight Jiang Ning. Even if the state gives up, it must also resolutely move eastward.

"Dongyang Mansion can still squeeze out ten or two hundred thousand stone of grain," Lin Tingli said. "As long as Yue Lengqiu continues to move eastward and reaches Yijiang and Dangtu, it is only one river away from Dongyang Mansion, and food transportation is also convenient. ."

Jiangzhou's 40,000 troops, horses, and Dong aid, plus civilians and brigades, will not exceed 50,000. Dongyang House can supply 200,000 stone grains, allowing Yue Lengqiu to support Jiangning's periphery until the end of the war.

The army has not moved, and the food and grass go first.

The Jiangzhou army has always relied on Jiangning for supply. After the fall, Jiangning has been reducing the supply to Jiangzhou. Yue Lengqiu led the army to help the east, and Jiangzhou could no longer provide sufficient food and grass. Now Jiangzhou has given Shefei Xiong soldiers to the city~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The reinforcements can only rely entirely on the counties along the way.

Led by Lin Tingli, Lin Zonghai and others, the Lin clan has basically controlled the entire Dongyang Mansion. The army and taxes of Dongyang Mansion have basically been controlled by the Lin family in recent years, so Dongyang Mansion has sufficient grain reserves. It was different from Dongyang Mansion. In ordinary prefectures and counties, taxes and grains were collected. In addition to local expenditures, they had to be handed over to the county governor in time. Usually, there were two or three thousand stone grains stored in the warehouse, which was considered quite wealthy.

Yue Lengqiu led the army to pass through the counties in Ningxi, and there was no problem with short-term supplies, but if the stay was long, unless the troops plundered, the supplies would inevitably come out of a big basket. Even if you buy grain from the local area, you must have enough money.

With Lin Tingli's words, there is no major problem with the supply of the Jiangzhou Army. It is really impossible. It is only six or seven hundred miles of water to transport grain from Huaidong.

Lin Xuwen added: "The situation has developed to this stage, and it is impossible for Dong Yuan to have any further changes. Even if he still wants to lead his troops into Jiangning, he will not be able to make it in time. What the old seventeen means is that he wants the Dongyang government army to go south to Chaotian Dang. Assemble on the north bank and prepare to cross the river to join the war!"

Although the army of Dongyang Prefecture was not strong, it actively participated in the campaign of encircling and suppressing the Huaisi refugee army in the early years. Dongyang's army is good at water warfare. When Zhao Hu and Ge Cunxin lead the Hailing army and the main force of the second water battalion to come up, after joining forces, they will be able to threaten the extravagant soldiers and horses that enter Jiangning from the north wing and Chaotiandang. It is Lin Fu. An important part of Sanluwei luxury.

When the situation has developed to this point, Lin's already gasping for the mountains and rivers, Lin Tingli is also quite excited and said, "Sure, I will arrange it immediately when I go back."

Lin Xuwen and Lin Tingli met, and immediately set off the boat to continue westward, and rushed to Chizhou to see Yue Lengqiu; Lin Tingli also immediately returned to Dongyang to prepare. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
