Lord of the House

Vol 10 Chapter 120: Chief

When Su Pinxiao and Chen Huazhang landed on the shore, they bowed their heads and said, "Caomin Su Pinxiao and Chen Huazhang, bow down to the Duke of Pengcheng..." What they were doing at the moment was the ceremony of the chief minister.

Chen Huawen was startled, thinking that his eldest brother would perform the ceremony of the chief minister in broad daylight, and clearly recognized Lin Fu as the master, and he would not be able to deny it in the future. After opening the bow, there would be no turning back, but then he thought about it. Su Pinxiao's self-proclaimed, also felt that the eldest brother really had no choice.

Su Pinxiao was originally a lieutenant general of the former Hanghu Army and was under the control of the Hanghu Army and Navy. Although the Bainao Army was disabled, he still left a considerable number of troops to enter Taihu Lake. At this time, Su Pinxiao was not qualified to be a general and called himself a grass-roots citizen. Naturally, it was his original intention to accept Huaidong's incorporation of the Bainao Army.

Su Pinxiao was attached to Huaidong, but his subordinate remained independent and was not fully incorporated into the Huaidong Military Division, so the Chen family could also maintain a detached relationship with Huaidong. Now that the remnants of the Bainao Army have completely accepted Huaidong's incorporation, can the Haiyu Army still demand independence? What other options does the Chen family have?

Could it be after Huaidong troops and horses completely occupy Jiangning?

Chen Huawen saw that there were no other representatives of the big clan coming over with the elder brother by boat, even if the officials and gentry of Huzhou were perfunctory to deal with the Huaidong troops and horses crossing the border, he knew that most people still did not see the situation clearly.

At this time, it is not the time when Lin Fu suddenly rises. Lin Fu has a strong foundation in Huaidong. Zhejiang, Fujian, Xusi and other places are also included in the Huaidong forces. Even if Huaidong occupies the lower Jiangnan at this time Digestion is not so difficult.

When Lin Fu entered Jiangning City, those who succumbed to the situation and surrendered at that time would have to sacrifice a lot more than they are now.

Although Lin Fu didn't see anyone else, but there were Su Pinxiao and Chen Huazhang who came to greet him, he was satisfied and said, "How can Lin Fu dare to do this ceremony? General Su and Duke Chen please get up..." He originally I didn't meet Chen Huazhang, but I heard that it was him. At this time, I had to introduce Song Fu and Zhou Tongtong to Chen Huazhang and Su Pinxiao.

Song Fu and Chen Huazhang bowed to each other and looked at Chen Huazhang. He looked a little older than his age. He wanted to come to the Chen family for the past two years. All in, can the son escape?

Chen Huazhang also looked at Song Fu. Song Fu became famous very early, but he was less than fifty years old, and he really couldn't understand how he cultivated himself in Quanzhou. Maybe Song's attachment to Huaidong was an early decision, so he did not Worried about Huaidong's harassment of the east coast of Fujian in the past two years?

At least before the war in Mindong, since Mindong was the foundation of the eight clans, almost everyone believed that Huaidong would pay a heavy price to conquer Mindong. If this is the case, and Xie Chaozhong can win victory in western Zhejiang and train the imperial army, it will be possible for Emperor Yongxing to restrict Huaidong's military power-could it be that Huaidong delayed the news of Song's annexation until the last minute to announce, in addition to strict In addition to keeping secrets, is there another reason to deliberately lure Emperor Yongxing into convicting the army of mistakes?

After the fall of Huizhou, Chen Huawen couldn't sit still in Haiyu, and rushed to Jiyang to watch the situation, so he knew the news of Jiangning in a timely and smooth manner, and also knew the various changes in Jiangning City and the palace before Emperor Yongxing abandoned the city. .

In the end, what prompted Emperor Yongxing to leave the west of the city was Wang Xueshan's claim that Huaidong had brought King Lu into the military camp.

Chen Huazhang did not know whether King Lu gave Huaidong access to the military camp, but Lin Bui visited the Hailing Palace before the southern expedition to Mindong, and then directly asked the Huaidong Military Division to take over the defense inside and outside the Hailing Palace. It's not top secret - Lin Fu and Huaidong's behavior seems to be understandable, but it is impossible for Emperor Yongxing to look at these things calmly.

Some things are about luck. From insisting on sending Xie Chaozhong to lead an expedition to western Zhejiang, to the destruction of the main force of the Hanghu Army in Liyang, to abandoning the city and fleeing to the west, Emperor Yongxing has almost lost all his luck.

After Lin Fu recaptured Jiangning, he asked Emperor Yongxing to return to Jiangning, and Dong Yuan might not dare to stay in Huaixi.

In the past, Lin Fu did not dare to directly abolish Emperor Yongxing. At this time, he carried the decree of the Empress Dowager Liang to abolish Emperor Yongxing and establish King Lu. I was afraid that there would not be too strong opposition from the world.

Now all these guesses are not important, Chen Huazhang sighed softly in his heart, and this sigh in his heart seemed like a cloud in the sky.

She Song and other remnants of the previous dynasty who fled to Mindong, even after surrendering to the Yuan clan, still had a strong sense of insecurity in their hearts, which made the clan have a strong cohesion and a desire to worship more martial arts and support troops. This is also the root and foundation of the Bamin rebellion in the later period, and it also caused a large number of loyal generals to emerge enthusiastically after the Baxing rebellion.

However, the majority of the Jiangnan clans respected the culture and suppressed the martial arts, which is precisely why the children of the Jiangnan gentry were able to pass the imperial examinations smoothly and enter the official career. Even a clan like the Chen family, who owns thousands of acres of land and has more than ten thousand tenants, does not have much thirst for force. In order to defend the hometown and protect the land, the Chen family took the lead in forming the Haiyu Army, but most of the generals and schools were from the bottom, not from the clan. In fact, the Chen family's control of the Haiyu Army was still very limited.

*************

Lin Fu said that Zhou Pu should lead the Qingqi and Tang Fuguan's troops not to exceed 50 miles. Zhou Pu first agreed, but after leaving Deqing last night, he rushed in at night, leaving only two sentry cavalry for Tang Fuguan to lead, take his words , as long as there are cavalrymen and Tang Fuguan within 50 miles away, it cannot be regarded as a violation of the order.

Zhou Pu divided the remaining eight posts into eight teams and stretched along the southern foot of Xiling.

This is the way Zhou Pu and the others used to be horse thieves. There are mountain roads and trails. Small groups of cavalry also break in in groups of three or five, infiltrating, spying, vigilant and bold. Don't send it, just slammed into the periphery of Liyang.

Although there are many low hills between Xiling and Fuyu Mountain, there is no dangerous place where you can't get out. .

In Zhou Pu's view, the biggest special feature of cavalry is flexibility and maneuverability, which is most suitable for encounters. Sending outposts, although you can gain time to adjust the deployment of troops after encountering the enemy, actually leaves time for the enemy to shrink the line of defense and wait for reinforcements.

As long as the flanks are safe, and if the front can collide with the foot formation in front of the left-wing soldiers of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army, Zhou Pu will have the pleasure of earning, and he will not be afraid of danger at all.

Zhou Pu is still clear about the general deployment of the left wing of the Zhejiang and Fujian Army.

In the upper reaches of the Shahe River and the southwestern foothills of Xiling, the Zhejiang-Fujian Army's left-wing forces were mainly stationed in the low-ridge areas of Yaojiachong and Qiantang.

Although it is said that after coming down from Ningguo, there is no such dangerous place as "one man should pass the gate, and ten thousand men will not open it", but if the Huaidong Army wants to advance north, it has to make a big bend at the southwestern foot of Xiling.

The left flank of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army was stationed at the Xiling, as if a sharp and cold light flashed, piercing the vast plain beyond the southwestern foot of the Xiling, and staring at the flank of the main force of the Huaidong Army heading north.

If they did not detour from the plain at the southwestern foot of Xiling, the Huaidong Army could directly cross the Xiling and head north, from between Jingyi and Liyang to the north.

Although Xiling can't be said to be dangerous, there are several mountain roads passing through it, but Xiling stretches for nearly a hundred miles from east to west and about 50 miles from north to south. , is enough to drag the Huaidong Army tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from it for three or four days - if this is the case, Zheng Mingjing's left wing delay goal will be successfully completed.

The main goal of Zheng Mingjing's left-wing troops was to buy more time for the middle and right-wing.

Zheng Mingjing learned that the Huaidong army, which had not passed through Hangzhou for four or five days, was about to start abruptly at night after resting in the afternoon yesterday. He knew that the Huaidong army had finally moved.

In order to be more threatening, he transferred another 2,000 soldiers from the Yaojiachong camp. On the early morning of the 28th, he divided into two teams and set off towards the low mountain in the south, making an interception gesture. He himself led another 200 soldiers. Yu Huqi went to reconnaissance on the front line of East Hetang in Guangde, and wanted to kill a few outpost scouts of the Huaidong Army and come to dismount.

In Zheng Mingjing's view, no matter how daring the Huaidong Army is, it will inevitably shrink its defenses and lower its marching speed when approaching, and will not easily expose its flanks to the sharp spears of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army's left flank.

However, at the corner of the sun, Zheng Mingjing, who had just led his troops to Hetang, heard the heavy and dense sound of horses' hooves galloping from a distance, and everyone's faces changed: the Huaidong Army did not send any scouts at the outpost, and a large number of them The cavalry came directly.

After hesitating for a while, he saw the moving cavalry, like a black tide rushing towards the top of the mountain.

At first glance, it seemed that the enemy was several times his own. How could Zheng Mingjing stay there to fight?

If it was someone else, or thought it was a suspicious soldier, or worried that there was an ambush ahead, Zhou Pu felt the cold wind blowing his icy pocket, and shouted in a deep voice: "The sons of the first battalion, change horses to kill the enemy, your swords should drink It's bloody!"

Huaidong did not have the conditions to match two war horses for the cavalry, so when they were on the road, they rode on a walking horse, and the tall and mighty war horse accompanied them.

Zhou Pu said "change horses", and the six hundred armored light cavalry in the front immediately changed into war horses, and the war knives were unsheathed.

Zhou Pu asked Zhao Bao and other generals to restrain the rest of the army, and the rear of the palace slowly followed, and he personally led more than 600 cavalry to catch up in a cone formation.

More than 800 cavalry, between the low ridges and plains of Hetang, like two tides of black and brown, spreading overwhelmingly, the horses' hooves are thundering, and they are screaming to kill the sky.

The Zhejiang-Fujian Army itself lacked the mighty horses with good sprinting ability and long-distance running. Zheng Mingjing, as a general, personally guarded and accompanied horses, only one person and one horse. The new horsepower is full and fast~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I'm afraid that I can't wait to connect with the rear formation, and will be caught up by the Huaidong cavalry. He stopped the horse, led the fierce horse to neigh in pain, and said in a sad voice, "General, remember not to serve my old lady and Sanwazi!" Tie Duo turned around the horse's head and shouted, "The scar on the head is the size of a broken bowl, it's called Huaidong'er. I know that the Bamin soldiers are not afraid of death..." Immediately, dozens of horsemen left the team and rushed back.

Zheng Mingjing endured his grief. He never imagined that the Huaidong Army's outpost cavalry would attack so arrogantly. After all, he still lacked experience in confrontation with the Huaidong Army on the ground. Zheng Mingjing only knew that he could not die. If he died in battle, what would happen to the 20,000 children of the left wing? At this time, the brave general of Bamin was also gripped by fear, and he desperately beat the whip and ran north.

Seeing that the dead men rushed back, Zhou Pu was so excited that he shouted: "Huang Yang'er, there is a big fish ahead, you give Lao Tzu more strength, if the first ten enemies block Lao Tzu's way, Lao Tzu will unscrew your head... ..." There were more than two hundred cavalry, and when they fled, more than a dozen people rushed back, and another dozen stopped, waiting for the dead to block them, no matter how they looked, they knew that they were protecting important people and fleeing back.

"Zhou Leopard, don't send yourself to the door as a big fish." One of the cavalry generals on Zhou Pu's left shouted loudly. Wrapped up, Zhou Pu led most of his troops to miss the flank, only delayed for a moment for the dozen or so dead soldiers, and continued to chase north.

The sky was cold and the ground was icy, the snow was all gone under the ridge, and the ice chips splashed by the iron hoofs seemed to be flying fog. Zheng Ming shouted and launched a suicide attack through dozens of cavalry, but he did not shoot arrows. The two collided in one place.
