Lord of the House

There are no communication facilities such as wireless telegraphy in the world, and the complexity of warfare is often difficult to control and predict in advance.

It was also after knowing that the main force of the Zhejiang and Fujian Army in Shangrao was overwhelmed by the flood, and the Huaidong Army officially broke through the defense line of the Zhejiang and Fujian Army in Shangrao - Lin Fu, Fu Qinghe, and Gao Zongting deduced the changes in the Jiangxi war situation after that. , are based on this basis.

The latest official letter issued by Lin Fu ordering the towns to respond to changes in the situation in Jiangxi was also sent by Kuaiqi to various places after that. When the secret letter arrived in Zongyang County, it was already the night of the 23rd.

Prior to this, the military deployment of the Privy Council on the northwestern front of Jiangzhou was mainly to order the Chizhou Army and Jinghu Army to attack Jiangzhou from the east and west to contain the tens of thousands of troops of the She family in Jiangzhou.

The Chizhou Army advanced from the east wing to Jiangzhou, and it was divided into two main routes. One was from the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the other was from Qiupu to the east. From Yicheng and Zongyang, they attacked Huanglongling on the other side of Jiangzhou and the three divisions of Chen and Han who occupied the remnant city of Huangmei.

Yue Lengqiu is known for his stability in military use. After he defended Chizhou, his early military use focused on the north bank, which was to compete for the southern foot of Huaishan Mountain.

However, Chen Hansan has a strong ambition to guard Huangmei and manage Edong, and the luxury family also has thousands of elites stationed in Huanglongling, south of Huangmei City, making Yue Lengqiu difficult to decide to attack one of them. Therefore, Yue Lengqiu built a joint camp in Xiaocang Mountain to the west of Zongyang, and actually intended to digest the three counties east of Xiaocang Mountain, west of Yicheng, and Yicheng, Zongyang and Qianshan at the southern foot of Huaishan Mountain.

But as Hu Qiaozhong sneaked into eastern Jiangxi, Yu Wencheng, Yu Wenbei, and Uncle Pan Wenshu made a lot of noise in eastern Jiangxi, which made everyone with discernment know that the situation of the luxury family in Jiangxi was precarious, and Yue Lengqiu became greedy to divide the land of eastern Jiangxi.

Seeing that the north bank was difficult to win suddenly, from mid-March, Yue Lengqiu transferred another force from the north bank to the south bank, and settled in the west of Qiupu, hoping to seize the opportunity to seize Pengze and Hukou, which were guarded by the traitor Tian Chang at this time. .

By the end of March, the 50,000 Chizhou troops were distributed in the south, the north, and the north.

Yue Lengqiu's wishful thinking was also very good. He had no intention of taking the entire Jiangzhou, knowing that Lin Fu would not allow the Chizhou army to occupy the entire Jiangzhou Prefecture in the northern plain of Poyang Lake. Yue Lengqiu intends to take the Poyang Lake mouth as the boundary and cede several counties to the west of Jiangzhou Prefecture to Hu Wenmu, and he takes the eastern Jiangxi plain to the east of the lake mouth. At that time, even if Lin Fulei was furious, Chizhou and the Jinghu family would be able to make the whole of Jiangxi fall into the hands of Huaidong.

After crossing the Shangrao line of defense, Lin Fu was not worried that Shewenzhuang would lead Jiangzhou troops to help Shangrao, but he was more worried that Shewenzhuang would lead the remnants to cross the river and learn poor bandits to flee north.

Therefore, Lin Tie sent a secret letter to Yue Lengqiu, asking him to immediately deploy a large number of troops on the north bank to maintain military pressure on Huanglongling, Jiangzhou's beachhead on the north bank, from both land and water, so that the She family could threaten the future on the water surface. Before it was lifted, he did not dare to flee across the river on a large scale.

As long as Yue Lengqiu supported it for three or five days, and when Ge Cunxin led the water camp upstream from the Yi River and merged with the Chizhou water army, they would be able to form a military advantage on the Yangtze River, completely block the Yangtze River, and cut off the way for luxury families to escape north.

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

Yue Lengqiu had his own considerations. He suspected that Lin Bie had deliberately made the situation too optimistic in the secret letter, in order to lure the Chizhou army to intercept it on the north bank.

Once the situation of the She family in Jiangxi can barely be maintained, Shewenzhuang must give priority to assisting Shangrao, rather than desperately crossing the river north. In this case, Yue Lengqiu should have gathered his troops on the south bank, and took Pengze, Hukou, etc. while the Zhejiang and Fujian troops were supporting the south and Jiangzhou's troops were empty.

The matter of the territory has always been whoever gets it.

After Chizhou Prefecture was divided into Huaidong, there were only two counties left. The three counties at the southern foot of Huaishan Mountain had many lakes and swamps, and they were not places to take root. It is rich and luxuriant, and it can nourish life and life, and it can also divide Huaidong into Jiangxi.

Under all kinds of trade-offs, in addition to immediately moving a navy army that had been transferred to Chizhou for rest to Yanguihu Water Village, Yue Lengqiu temporarily decided to wait and see for three or five days before speaking.

However, Yue Lengqiu's heart was also suffering.

If the situation is as Lin Biezai judged in the secret letter, the remnants of the luxury family flee across the river and the Chizhou army fails to intercept them, what should I do?

At that time, the She family was entangled with Chen Hansan and Luo Xiancheng, which caused great pressure on Jinghu Lake in the west.

Under such circumstances, Jing Hu would not be able to take the risk of offending Huaidong to occupy Jiangzhou, and it would be impossible for the Chizhou army to fight against Huaidong, who had just won the Jiangxi victory!

Yue Lengqiu was very entangled in his heart, and he was worried about the possibility that Jiangzhou was indeed crossing the north, so he decided to stay on the north bank and only told Deng Yu to secretly sneak to the south bank to help his nephew Yue Zhi lead the army. Yue Lengqiu stayed on the north bank because he was afraid that the fighter plane would be delayed, so he would have a reason to speak in the future.

In the early morning of the 24th, several scouts were sent to sneak into Huangmei, Peng Ze, and the hinterland of Jiangzhou, hoping to get more accurate information. But all day on the 24th, the situation in the eastern Gansu area did not change significantly, and there was no direct news that crossed eastern Gansu to Chizhou.

However, the Jiangzhou navy did not retreat to the inner line of Poyang Lake until the night of the 24th, making Yue Lengqiu aware of some abnormalities, but it did not rule out that Shewenzhuang was suspicious in Jiangzhou.

Even if Shewenzhuang wants to help Shangrao, it will definitely try to delay the footsteps of Jinghu and Chizhou troops from the east and west.

On the 24th, Ge Cunxin led the main force of the Jinghai Third Water Battalion to gather from the Yijiang River. Cao Zi'ang also sent messengers to Zongyang in Luzhou, again urging Yue Lengqiu to gather troops and horses on the north bank to prepare for the Jiangzhou army to cross the river and flee north.

On the night of the twenty-fourth day, Yue Lengqiu sat in front of the map all night. Even though he knew that the dispatched scouts did not return the news so quickly, he kept asking questions. Until the early morning, Yue Lengqiu couldn't survive the exhaustion of his thoughts, so he lay down and rested in his clothes.

Yue Lengqiu was awakened by the rapid footsteps in his sleep, and saw his son Du Ming and Deng Yu's second son Deng Wenchang rushed to the tent. Yue Lengqiu stood up and asked in shock, "Jiangzhou soldiers are heading south!"

"Pa", Yue Duming slapped the table ruthlessly, and said, "Also called Lin Fu right, the river section south of Huanglongling after the early morning, thousands of boats cover the river, the luxury family really wants to abandon Jiangzhou and flee north!"

"That's true!" Yue Lengqiu sat up in shock and asked again, "How many soldiers and horses did the Jiangzhou army cross the river last night?"

"Last night, most of the people who crossed the river were relatives, and there were very few soldiers, about 20,000 people." Yue Duming said.

That's right, if the She family wants to flee north, the common soldiers are nothing more than ordinary soldiers, but if you want to finally control the soldiers and horses, the generals and the family members of the clan's children cannot be left behind.

"Director Yue, how should I deal with it?" Deng Wenchang asked.

Yue Lengqiu touched the beard under his chin, and Chen Hansund had Luo Xiancheng and Shejia behind his back. He led the remnants to the east of Hubei last winter, occupying Qichun, Huangmei and other counties in the east of Hubei. Chizhou, Suizhou and Jiangxi exist in the gaps.

Chen Hansan has more than 4,000 troops in Huangmei; and on the south side of Huangmei Remnant City, across the river from Jiangzhou City, Huanglongling, the luxury family has long been stationed in 3,000 elites. Just because Chen Hansan was stationed in Huangmei's department and Huanglongling's horns depended on each other, Yue Lengqiu couldn't eat any of them for a while.

Now that the extravagant family wants to cross the river to escape, they must also use the beachhead of Huanglongling to continuously withdraw people and materials from Jiangzhou City.

"Baby leads the army to advance to Huanglongling by land, and Daddy can supervise the water army to advance westward, so that the Jiangzhou army cannot make a large-scale northward crossing!" Yue Duming said, he was eager to try and fight for the army. Before that, Yue Lengqiu mainly cultivated his nephew Yue Zhi, and Yue Duming was only a staff officer in the army.

The She family had nearly 70,000 land and water troops in Jiangzhou, but Yue Lengqiu dared not put the She family's 70,000 Jiangzhou soldiers on the north bank.

The only solution for now is to push the Chizhou navy forces up, forcing the Jiangzhou army to dare not cross the river on a large scale.

As for the land, the communication between Huangmeicheng and Huanglongling should also be cut off immediately, and the enemy of Huanglongling should be restricted from extending eastward.

Unlike other sections of the river, which have large open beaches, the Yangtze River near Huanglongling has a narrow and turbulent surface where the ridges and mountains go straight into the river. Once the Jiangzhou Army is deployed along the southern ridge of Huanglongling along the coast, if the infantry has weapons such as catapults, it can also support surface operations well, which will expand the advantage of the Jiangzhou Navy in the upper reaches.

Whenever it was going to fight against the Jiangzhou naval forces on the Yangtze River, the Chizhou army would always advance by water and land, and its battalion would attack from Xiaocang Mountain, advance towards Huanglongling, and entangle the Shejia garrison in Huanglongling, making it unable to help the navy. .

Huanglongling and Xiaocang Mountain are only thirty miles apart.

On the one hand, Yue Lengqiu was shocked by Lin Fu's statement that Zhongshe's family fled to the north, but on the other hand, he was relieved that his son was able to make a decision so quickly, nodded and agreed to this arrangement, and urgently sent someone to the south bank to contact Deng Yu , so that he led his troops and horses to attack Peng Ze from the south bank.

No matter what, Yue Lengqiu certainly won't let go of the opportunity to take the counties in northeastern Jiangxi.

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

The Feilai Peak on the east ridge of Huanglongling is a huge boulder.

The stone is as white as jade, about seven feet in circumference, hanging above the top of the mountain, as if flying from the sky.

Feilai Peak has now become the most important observation post on the east wing of the Huanglongling garrison.

Shewenzhuang has a sad face, looking at the vastness of the south of the Yangtze River, and seeing the Chizhou soldiers and horses swarming from the east as nothing.

Hu Zongguo, the veteran general around Shewenzhuang and the chief of the Grand Governor's Office, saw that Chizhou's troops were advancing so quickly westward. He seemed to see that there was no counterattack here. Being bullied by dogs, these vicious dogs in Chizhou really don’t know whether to live or die! Yue Lengqiu is also getting old, Duke Wenzhuang, you can see that he sent troops in three ways. Do you just call She Yuan to fight?"

If the Zhejiang and Fujian troops retreated to Jiangxi, Shewenzhuang was worried that the situation in Jiangxi would be difficult to maintain, and the defense line might collapse from Shangrao first.

Chen Hansan led the remnants to the south~www.wuxiaspot.com~ On the bright side, Jiangzhou handed over all the land of eastern Hubei to Chen Hansan to manage, in order to buffer the military pressure of Jinghu and Chichi on Jiangzhou. The north bank only occupies a corner of Huanglongling, and the garrison has also been reduced to more than 3,000.

Lin Fu has been planning to encircle Jiangxi since last autumn. Chizhou, Jinghu, and Tanzhou are all chess pieces in Lin Fu's military deployment. They cooperate with the elites of the Huaidong Army Headquarters to form a joint encirclement of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops retreating to Jiangxi.

Huanglongling looks small, but it is actually the last retreat for the luxury family to escape the encirclement of Huaidong.

Shewenzhuang used the sub-plan of reducing flags and adding small numbers to maintain the five battalions of the Huanglongling garrison for half a year, but the number of troops in one battalion was more than 1,000. In addition to the soldiers who crossed the river first last night, the She family had 10,000 soldiers in Huanglongling.

This kind of subtotal should not have been hidden from Yue Lengqiu. Even if Yue Lengqiu could not accurately detect the number of troops stationed in Huanglongling, he should not let his guard down.

Seeing the direction of Xiaocang Mountain, Yue Duming, the son of Yue Lengqiu, led 10,000 troops to attack Huanglongling, and Hu Zongguo also felt that Yue Lengqiu was getting old.

Shewenzhuang smiled like a cry, his eyes were full of desolation, and he said: "What if the Chizhou army is defeated? After half a year's layout, waiting for this defeat is really panic-stricken! Enemy soldiers, let She Yuan attack! Consider She Yuan, if you can't take Xiaocang Mountain in one fell swoop, the She family will have no way out!"

In addition to defeating the Chizhou Army's troops and horses that were advancing on Huanglongling from the north bank, they also had to break through the Chizhou Army's camp in Xiaocang Mountain. Only in this way can the navy at the foot of Xiaocangshan Mountain and the water village on the west bank of Yangui Lake be exposed, and the Chizhou navy can be forced to flee in panic, and before the Jinghai Camp arrives, it will be possible to make a large-scale effort for the following Jiangzhou troops.
