Lord of the House

On the slightly higher bank on the east bank of the Yufu River, Lin Bie reined in the reins, rode on horseback and watched the soldiers with high morale return to the Sanyuzhuang camp from his eyes. He smiled and saw the soldiers he knew. Also raised his hand to say hello.

Cao Zi'ang knew the pressure on Lin Bie's shoulders under such a smile. Since entering Jinan Prefecture, Lin Bie's handsome cheeks were cut like a knife when he set off from Jiangning, and he lost more than two laps. Since the decision to go north and enter Yannan, the copper oil lamps in his tent have been kept on all night.

It is certain that the eastern captives will go south to Shandong, but it is difficult to predict whether Jinan will be able to hold on, how long it will last until it falls, and how long the prefectures and counties east of Jinan will last. Although they would avoid the main force of the eastern cavalry, it was still an arduous and dangerous road to go north to Yannan and advance behind the enemy.

At the moment, in addition to patiently waiting for the opportunity to go north - we must wait until the main force of the eastern captives officially launch the offensive against the cities of Dezhou and Linqing, and cut off the connection between Shandong, Zhongzhou (Henan) and Jinzhong, and then the five battalions of the left army will be interspersed in the northeast direction. When the time is right - the fifth battalion of the left army must be fully mobilized and prepared before the march. Once they crossed the Yellow River, and the main force of the Donglu invaded Dezhou, Linqing, and Jinan Prefecture, the possibility of them getting supplies from Dongfu County in Jinan is very small, but to maintain relatively good mobility, the unrelated baggage will be It must be cut down, and supplies cannot be carried enough.

"Although a small victory has nothing to do with the overall situation, the fifth battalion of the Zuo Army must actively look for fighter opportunities in Jinan Prefecture these days," Lin Fu waved his whip and pointed to the direction of the Yellow River to the north. It is necessary to create as many opportunities as possible to surround and destroy the infiltrating Donglu outposts—if Dezhou in the north and Linqing City in the northwest are not lost, the main force of the Donglu cannot come to Jinan Prefecture. Jinan Prefecture is still on the inside, and the infiltrated Dongluo The sentinel cavalry usually ranges from dozens to hundreds of cavalry, which provides a good condition for us to accumulate combat experience with the Donglu cavalry. In addition, frequent and positive small wins not only improve the morale and combat of the fifth battalion of our left army Ruizhi is very helpful, and it can also boost the morale of the defenders of Jinan Prefecture and restore their courage to fight against the enemy. The stronger the will of the defenders of Jinan Prefecture to resist, the more they can attract the main force of the Eastern captives. The pressure after the fifth battalion of our left army advanced to Yannan The smaller it is. If Jinan can hold on to it, the main force of the Eastern Captives will eventually be forced to open up the passage back to Yanshan along the western foot of Taihang Mountain..."

Sun Wenbing led a thin horse, stood behind the crowd, and followed the direction of Lin Fu's whip to look north. Lin Fu's voice was not loud, but he felt an indescribable heroic spirit when he waved the whip and looked north. .

Sun Wenbing came here today to say goodbye to Lin Fu.

Lin Fu decided to lead the five battalions of the Zuo army to the north. After the Xihe congregation lost the boat, they could not provide much logistical assistance to the Zuo army of Qin Wang's division. Sun Wenbing also planned to pack up and lead dozens of congregations to return to Jiangning by land.

Sun Wenbing came to Sanyuzhuang on horseback at noon, caught up with the left army in the north of Jinan City, set up a siege to ambush the Donglu sentry, and also accompanied him to watch the battle. Although this battle was not much exciting, the soldiers of the Zuo Army were especially heroic and heroic compared to the officers and soldiers who were trapped in the city and did not dare to fight.

Seeing those refugees kneeling and thanking them, Sun Wenbing had many impulses in his heart, that is, to follow Lin Fu to the north.

Sun Wenbing couldn't ignore the dozens of Xihe congregations who had gone north with him, and he had to go back to his hometown, Xihe County, and take all the people who stayed in his hometown to Jiangning to escape from the military disaster. The burden on his shoulders was not light. Throw it away?

Sun Wenbing hesitated in his heart, and did not mention the matter of farewell. After the soldiers were all returned to the camp, he talked about the details and rushed back to Jingerhu camp on horseback before dark.

Almost all the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Left Army were transferred from Jingerhu Camp to Sanyuzhuang, ready to set off northward to Yannan. In addition to dozens of Xihe Congregation in Jingerhu Camp, the rest will follow the Xihe Congregation. Disabled soldiers returning to Jiangning by land.

"Wen Bing, when will the fifth battalion of the Zuo Army leave?"

Sun Wenbing saw Wan Niang, a man disguised as a woman and blackened with charcoal powder, walking out of the camp, carrying a waist knife with her. He handed the thin horse to his entourage to take it to the stable, and said to Wan Niang, "How could I know the specific itinerary? You should be more careful with me. will peel my skin off..."

"You're embarrassed to tell me, if I hadn't helped you, would you be able to do these things?" Sun Wenwan said, "So is our trip to the south settled?"

"..." Sun Wenbing scratched his head and said, "Forgot to mention."

"Forgot to mention? You went to Sanyuzhuang today, didn't you make a special trip to say goodbye?" Sun Wenwan stared at her cousin Sun Wenbing incredulously.

"..." Sun Wenbing told Wan Niang about the field battle in the north of Jinan City in the afternoon, and he didn't say that he was thinking about going north with Lin Fu and the others. He just said, "If you interrupt this matter, you will forget it."

"I can take the congregation to Xihe first, and pick up the grandma and the others to take refuge in Jiangning together..." Sun Wenwan guessed her cousin Sun Wenbing's thoughts and said.

"Really?" Sun Wenbing asked with undisguised joy, "I won't go south with you, can you do all these things well?"

"Is there anything I can't do well?" Sun Wenwan asked back, and added, "But you can't tell my sister-in-law that I encouraged you to go north with the army, or my sister-in-law will hate me to death?"

"Then you're not worried that I will be in danger going north?" Sun Wenbing asked with a smile.

"If the skin doesn't exist, how can the hair be attached? Today's horse leather wrapped in corpse is better than the destruction of the family in other countries," Sun Wenwan grabbed the waist knife in her hand, and said with a stubborn temper rarely seen in some women, "I wish I was also a man. , so that I can go north with you."

"You don't want to be Hua Mulan," Sun Wenbing said with a smile, "When you returned to Jiangning, you said that I had sores on my thighs, I couldn't walk or ride a horse, I couldn't take the mountain road with you to Xihe, and I could only go north with Master Qin Wang— "Don't miss out..."

Wan Niang took the responsibility on her own initiative, and Sun Wenbing was also assured that she had the ability to take the congregation to Xihe first, and then to Jiangning with her old family. Putting this thought aside, Sun Wenbing found a few mature and prudent congregants, carefully arranged the southbound affairs, and rushed to the Sanyuzhuang camp at night with five congregants who were willing to accompany him to the north with the army.

Sun Wenbing drove Lin Fu and the generals out of the camp at night, and only Cao Zi'ang and Lin Mengde were in the camp. At that time, more than a dozen people from Yannan who had fled to Jinan came to the camp. The leader was a scholar from Hejian Fu, also surnamed Sun, Sun Shangwang, thirty-one or two years old. When Sun Wenbing arrived, Sun Shangwang was giving a generous speech. I want to bring more than a dozen people from Hejian House to join the Jiangdong Zuo Army, and I urge you to take them here.

Cao Zi'ang only asked Sun Shangwang and more than a dozen villagers from Hejianfu to rest in the camp first, and everything had to wait for Lin Fu to come back.

Lin Fu did not hide his intention to lead the army north to Yannan, but most people held a skeptical attitude, thinking that Lin Fu was just making a statement in the face of the national disaster to gain some fame. Today's next battle in the city, although it was only a small victory, it also made some people trapped in Jinan begin to believe that Lin Fu has the determination and courage to go north.

Sun Wenbing and Lin Mengde were also familiar with each other. When Sun Shangwang and others were sent to other camps to rest, he directly explained to Lin Mengde and Cao Zi'ang that he wanted to go north with the army.

Lin Mengde personally led the labor camp. In the area where the Donglu cavalry could radiate, the responsibility of logistics and logistics was extremely heavy. Fighting power, Lin Mengde's shoulders are not light. Sun Wenbing was willing to go north with the army, and Lin Mengde was naturally the most delighted. Besides, Sun Wenbing had nothing to trust and was capable. Before Lin Bing came back, he and Cao Ziang decided to keep Sun Wenbing behind.

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

The barracks in the southwest highland of Jinan Kuo City, the cold wind blows, making the sound of ghosts and wolves.

"Tomorrow I'll move to Liaocheng, and then go north to Jinzhong," Yue Lengqiu's face was gloomy and cold under the lamp in the tent, patted the table and looked at Lu Jingyan with open eyes, "If you don't go with you, who wants to? It's up to you to stay with you, and it's okay if you want me to issue a military order, but I want to warn you that if you choose to stay today, there will be no place for you to stand in Dongmin in the future!"

Lu Jingyan sat up straight, picked up the helmet and held it in front of his chest, stood up and saluted Yue Lengqiu, saying, "Thank you, Governor Yue, for your accomplishment!"

Yue Lengqiu looked at the military officers who stood up with Lu Jingyan, his face so gloomy that water was dripping.

Yue Lengqiu issued a military order and threw it to Lu Jingyan indignantly; he was extremely depressed in the camp, fearing that if he was not careful, Yue Lengqiu's thunderous anger would turn to him.

Song Bo was also slightly trembling in his heart, afraid that he would be reprimanded if he accidentally did something wrong or wrote a wrong word.

Seeing Yue Lengqiu wave angrily and let Lu Jingyan and many military officers who were determined to stay and defend the place leave his tent, the moment Yue Lengqiu bowed his head, Song Bo clearly saw a sneer flash across his mouth.

This sneer made the hairs on Song Bo stand up. In his heart, he wished that Lu Jingyan would split up with him here.

After the imperial court successively transferred Chen Zhihu and other ministries out of East Fujian, they also left Lu Jingyan and other brave veterans to guard the important places in East Fujian to suppress the extravagant family.

These brave generals in the East Fujian Army all grew up under Li Zhuo's command, and it is impossible to be loyal to the Governor Yue Lengqiu. On the contrary, because the Chu Party strongly suppressed Li Zhuo and restricted Li Zhuo from playing a role in the garrison of Jiangning, Lu Jingyan and other Li Zhuo's old subordinates had a crush on Yue Leng, who was the core figure of the Chu Party and went to East Fujian to pick Li Zhuo's peaches after the war. Qiu also naturally disliked it. From the day Yue Lengqiu took office in Dongmin, he had been fraternizing with him and restraining him in many matters.

It was only then that Song Bo saw a key problem: Yue Lengqiu led the division of the Diligent King this time, and the selected commanders were mostly those who were the most resolute in Dongmin on weekdays.

After Yue Lengqiu went north to Jinan, he decided that the main force of the eastern captives would attack Jinan, and he wished that Lu Jingyan and other generals would stay and defend Jinan.

If Lu Jingyan and other generals cooperated in defending the locality and made meritorious deeds and drove the main force of the Eastern captives out of Shandong, no one could deny that Yue Lengqiu, as the governor of Dongmin, issued a military order to make Lu Jingyan lead a part of the Eastern Fujian army to stay in the Jinan co-defense place; If Lu Jingyan's generals died in battle or retreated in battle, it would naturally no longer be an obstacle to Yue Lengqiu's sole power in Dongmin.

More importantly, no one else can accuse Yue Lengqiu of avoiding the war, because no one can say that the Dongmin soldiers led by Lu Jingyan who stayed behind in Jinan are not his soldiers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ His acting is too good , almost concealed everyone, Song Bo felt cold sweat seeping down his back, he lowered his head and copied the text, not daring Yue Lengqiu to see the strange look on his face.

Yue Lengqiu was thinking about other things, and he didn't pay attention that his strategy would inadvertently be seen through to Song Bo.

In any case, Lin Fu's decision to enter Yannan alone made Yue Lengqiu embarrassed. He finally understood that Lin Fu was Gu Wuchen's disciple, not from the Chu party, and he could easily make Lin Fu easy by promising some small favors. Pulled over.

Yue Lengqiu still couldn't understand why Lin Fu took the risk to go north.

Although the main force of the Donglu would be attracted to Jinan, but in the north of the Yannan area, the Donglu had to guard against the officers and soldiers in the direction of Gyeonggi, and there were not many cavalry left in defense, and it was difficult for the three thousand Jiangdong soldiers to go directly to Gyeonggi. As long as they encounter more than a thousand captives and cavalry in the wild, it is very difficult for the three thousand Jiangdong soldiers to get rid of the danger of the entire army being wiped out. Especially after the fall of Jinan Prefecture and the prefectures and counties east of Jinan Prefecture, the 3,000 Jiangdong soldiers in Yannan will be in danger of being unable to retreat or advance, and supply will be a problem, and the Donglu will be able to draw more cavalry To clear the resistance forces in the Yannan area.

Three thousand Jiangdong soldiers might be able to resist a thousand cavalry, but what about three thousand cavalry, five thousand cavalry, eight thousand or even ten thousand cavalry? In the Yannan area that was looted by the Donglu cavalry, what should I do with supplies?

What kind of fame is worth such a fight? Yue Lengqiu thought to himself that since Lin Fu stated that he wanted to lead the army northward, he had indeed earned a lot of fame in Jinan Prefecture; but no matter how high the fame was, he had to save his life to enjoy it; perhaps he was too young and angry. The blood is too strong!
