Lord of the House

After receiving the Jiangning Newspaper and Gaozongting's secret letter, it has been two days and one night since Emperor Yongxing left Jiangning late at night on the 25th. Lin Fili ordered the soldiers and horses to rest on the spot, and sent people to summon Ao Canghai and Zhou Tongtong to discuss matters. .

Liyang and Jinshan fell on the 24th, and the Zhejiang-Fujian Army's right-wing troops had gathered in Liyang and the upper reaches of the Rouge River as early as the 21st. After Emperor Yongxing left Jiangning, the city fell into uncontrollable turmoil. At this time, the Zhejiang-Fujian Army should have about 40,000 soldiers and horses rushing to Jiangning City, and its left wing is shrinking towards Liyang. The intention is very clear. While ensuring Jiangning and Huizhou, and shielding the right wing, it will also delay the Huaidong Army's main force north. advance speed.

"My team is in the first place. Zhang Jiheng has been raising fat for several days in Changxing. Your Excellency, let's go to Liyang!" Chen Zhu couldn't wait for Zhou Tong, Ao Canghai and others to come over, so he came over to fight.

The generals in Huaidong did not know how many times they had done the war deduction of the battle of Jiangning, so there was nothing to discuss in the military meeting, and they had been waiting for the main force of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops to be attracted to Jiangning City so that they could rush to the battle.

"It's different from what I imagined," Lin Bie said in a breath, "The emperor is running too fast..."

When I first heard that Emperor Yongxing had abandoned Jiangning and fled on the 25th, Lin Bie uttered dirty words in disdain.

Song Fu laughed, laughing at Emperor Yongxing's self-destruction of the foundation.

After the fall of the North, Emperor Chongguan broke through the battlefield of death, and saved some people's hearts for the imperial family, but this time Emperor Yongxing abandoned the capital and fled first. What is the foundation of self-destruction? As long as there is no chaos in Jiangnan, especially Danyang and Pingjiangfu in the east of Jiangning, what will happen to Emperor Yongxing even if he goes to Huaixi?

After Huaidong regained Jiangning, he could naturally invite Emperor Yongxing to return the capital.

Emperor Yongxing refused to return, or Dong Yuan refused to let him go, then Huaidong swaggered to occupy Jiangning and did not leave, respecting Emperor Yongxing from afar. The imperial army was rotten, the Hanghu army was left with only remnants, and the Yongxing Emperor left the capital by himself. Who can stop Huaidong from turning Jiangnan into his own defense zone?

All the generals are crawling up in the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and their tempers have become iron-blooded, but less tender, the Yongxing Emperor abandoning the capital and fleeing to the west will make Jiangning's millions of people fall into a huge disaster, and all the generals have no time to take care of them. , and will not take it into account, they only see the upcoming big battle in their eyes, and they are very excited.

There are many mountains and mountains in Zhejiang and Fujian, and the battles between Huaidong and Shejia were all between the mountains, so they seemed fragmented, and there were few opportunities for field battles on the ground. On the periphery of Jiangning, there are mountains, but the height is no more than a hundred feet. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered in such an open terrain to fight, it is exciting to think about it.

Tang Fuguan, Chen Zui and others still didn't know the plan of Jin Chan's escape from the luxury family, and they only hoped to arrive in Jiangning earlier.

Chen Huawen led his troops to the northeast of the Huaihe River, and prepared both hands.

First, the main force of the Hanghu Army led by Meng Yishan was destroyed, and Jiangning was weak and could not refuse the full penetration of the Huaidong forces. On behalf of the Chen family, he abandoned the Wu Party and joined Huaidong to ensure that the local interests of the Chen family would not be affected. Big loss.

However, even after the fall of Liyang, he still hoped in his heart that Emperor Yongxing, with the assistance of Chen Xiang, could inspire people's hearts and morale, and lead the tens of thousands of imperial battalions, imperial guards and Jiangning government troops who stayed in Jiangning to fight. Nice defensive battle. Huaidong's ambitions were bound to be curbed, and it was not difficult to force Huaidong's forces out of the Taihu Prefectures and counties after the war.

Who would have thought that Emperor Yongxing ran so fast, how could Jiangnan gentry and the public support the imperial family?

Hearing the news that Emperor Yongxing had fled west of the city, Chen Huawen was full of disappointment and frustration.

Emperor Yongxing went to Huaixi, what was the use, and could prevent Huaidong forces from infiltrating the Jiangnan area in an all-round way?

Song Jia was traveling to the north in a carriage. She sat in the carriage and listened to the news that Emperor Yongxing had abandoned the city and fled westward. She sighed in her heart: These chestnuts are finally cooked.

Ao Canghai, Zhou Tong, Sun Wenyao and others who were following the army behind will rush over soon.

He couldn't wait to enter Deqing County to discuss the matter, so he surrounded a shelter with linoleum in the field. Song Fu, Song Jia's father and daughter, and the generals including Chen Huawen and others were all convened to discuss the matter.

"The limelight started to increase in the afternoon, which is a good thing. It means that the fields and roads will be frozen soon. Zhou Pu led the cavalry first and spread out from the northern foot of Fuyu Mountain and the southern foot of Xiling to Guangde and Liyang. Let's go. Tang Fuguan led his troops afterward, and only brought three days of rations, and left all the baggage for the next team to accept. The distance between your two troops should not exceed 50 miles. Make sure that there are no large groups of enemy soldiers within 30 miles of Tang Fuguan's troops. Possibly! You should try to make contact with the left-wing soldiers and horses of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army retreating to Liyang before noon on the 29th, but after reaching the Qiantang and Shahe areas outside Liyang, you must not advance north without authorization and wait for further military orders..."

Chen Huawen turned pale in amazement. The Huaidong Army crossed the river north from Xiaoshan for four or five days. Before passing through Hangzhou, Lin Fu asked the front to cover more than 200 miles in two nights and one day. The road rushed to the periphery of Liyang.

Zhou Pu led two thousand light cavalry, all of whom were Lin Fu's retinue and Lin Fu's main guard.

However, there are 20,000 strong soldiers from the left flank of the Zhejiang and Fujian Army in Liyang. It is necessary to ensure that Tang Fuguan leads the front part to spread his feet and rush forward, and does not allow the left flank of the Zhejiang and Fujian Army to ambush while waiting for work, and can only deploy the cavalry that is flexible and difficult to ambush. At the forefront, can we ensure that the elite soldiers of the three brigades under Tang Fuguan's division will always have a safe distance of thirty miles.

Even in the event of an ambush, the distance of 30 miles would allow Tang Fuguan ample time to rest his followers and construct some simple defenses.

Tang Fuguan and Zhou Pu first led their troops to enter the periphery of Liyang, in order to test out the true intentions of the left-wing soldiers and horses of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops retreating to Liyang, and then test the true thoughts of Shewenzhuang for Jiangning City, otherwise everything will wait for news from Jiangning, at least Delayed by two days.

Two days is too long for a rapidly changing battlefield.

Chen Huawen has never had the opportunity to observe the Huaidong Army up close. After meeting with Lin Fu from Hangzhou, they headed north and spent only two days together day and night. After two days of being trapped by the disrepair of the post road and the rotten snow-melting road, he had traveled less than 70 miles and could not see any difference in the Huaidong Army.

After the military meeting, Song Jia, escorted by dozens of horses in a carriage, separated from the army and headed directly to the northeast, while the rest of the troops and horses rested on the spot.

It was just night, and the fields and roads were gradually frozen solid under the whistling north wind. The riding camp set out first, and a group of two or three hundred riders spread out to the north, and did not go in a group at all.

Although the wheat field will be trampled hard, it is much faster to spread out than to march in groups.

The cavalry walking in the wild at night is not very skillful. After all, the Huaidong Army's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have to make up three or five thousand of the strongest elites, which is not difficult at all.

Next, Tang Fuguan led his troops to go first. The moon and stars are dim, and the light can only be seen more than ten steps away. Each team only had torches at the front, and the middle and rear were hidden in the darkness. With such a dim light, they could only move forward in a man-to-man manner. However, Huaidong's generals were not panicked, and they had been well-trained for this. In the silent night, in addition to the sound of armies fighting each other, there were occasional voices of people talking, which were also used to remind people to move forward. words.

The team of tens of thousands of people set off in almost a stick of incense and disappeared into the vast darkness.

Next, Lin Fu personally led the main force of the Chongcheng army, leaving the three thousand Haiyu army at the end, and another general led by Ao Canghai, who was also in the rear, and Chen Huawen followed Lin Fu and the second echelon of troops. .

The situation has developed to this stage, and Chen Huawen can only show greater sincerity and loyalty as much as possible. Chen Huawen wanted to lead the 3,000 Haiyu Army to rush ahead to show more performance, but the Ye Marching Army was not the director of the Haiyu Army, so he could only stay at the back, but if Chen Huawen stayed at the back, he would be afraid of the people in Huaidong. Suspected that he was playing tricks to preserve his strength. He simply separated his pawns and handed over three thousand soldiers and horses to Ao Canghai for restraint to show his sincerity.

The soldiers and horses of the second echelon also moved forward with only a small amount of luggage. The luggage and ordnance abandoned by Tang Fuguan’s troops on both sides of the post road, including a large number of shield carts, bed crossbows, and scorpion crossbows with wheels, which affected the marching speed, were all thrown away. , and leave it to Ao Canghai to send someone to receive it.

In a hurry and speechless all night, before noon on the 28th, they rushed to Meixidu between Anji and Changxing, and the army stopped at Meixikou to rest. In the early years, Lin Bie entered Meixi Lake, where he fought with the Shu family who had secretly invested in the extravagant family.

Meixi Lake is the largest lake in central Huzhou.

The post road extends to here, and there was a nine-hole stone bridge connecting the two sides. After the collapse in the early years, the ferry has been used to cross the river.

However, after Zhang Jiheng led his troops to Changxing earlier, he built two pontoon bridges here. Tang Fuguan also rushed to cross Meixi River at sunrise, and should stop forty miles away to rest.

Counting the time, Tang Fuguan's department took a little more than a night to travel 134 miles in a hurry. This speed really scared the front teeth. If it weren't for the sun rising and the temperature getting warmer at this time, the road would be rotten and difficult to travel in the afternoon~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Tang Fuguan's department had to stop to rest, otherwise they would be able to enter Liyang tonight.

Chen Huawen couldn't help but wonder, if Meng Yishan led the remnants of the Hanghu Army to stick to Liyang, would the advance of the Huaidong Army be so swift and violent?

The current situation in Jiangning, even if it is not entirely facilitated by Huaidong, must be attributed to Huaidong.

Of course, before Liyang descended, the Zhejiang-Fujian Army had more than 50,000 troops on the Liyang and Guangde fronts. Even the left flank of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army took the initiative to attack and entangled Tang Fuguan's troops, who were exhausted and rushed, and there was not enough time to annihilate them. There will be big problems.

After Lin Fu arrived at Meixikou, the letter he received came from Jiangning on the 26th.

It has been determined that on the 26th, the Zhejiang-Fujian Army's right flank and the middle route troops and horses were all gathering in Jiangning, and the Huaidong water camp was only able to enter the Moling territory due to the silt beach, headwind, and reverse current in the middle of the river. Fortunately, the Zhejiang and Fujian troops did not have the conditions to storm Prison Island, and Gao Zongting and others led his troops to take over the imperial city completely.

The army stopped at Meixidu to rest, and Lin Fu waited for further details of the Jiangning direction on the one hand, and on the other hand, waited for news that Zhou Pu and Tang Fuguan's troops in front of them had taken the initiative to fight the left wing of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army.

In the afternoon, three warships sailed from the direction of Taihu Lake, with the flag of Su Pinxiao hanging on their masts - here, Lin Fu personally went to the ferry to meet him, Song Fu, Chen Huawen and others accompanied them, and saw that in addition to Su Pinxiao. In addition to filial piety, the elder brother Chen Huazhang also stood on the bow.

Chen Huawen knew at this moment that the Chen family had no other choice, and the eldest brother also rushed over to welcome the new master. If it is really delayed until the Huaidong Army recaptures Jiangning City and then makes a choice, the Chen family may not be able to have good fruit to eat. My QT room is open!
