Lord of the House

Lin Fu's original plan was to leave Gu Siyuan to stay in Suining. He led the Jiangdong Zuo Army Shuibu Battalion to take a two-pronged approach to relieve the Siyang siege of the Huai Army.

Liu Miaozhen led the elite cavalry of the refugee army to the south quickly, disrupting Lin Fu's original battle plan, and was forced to leave the water camp to defend Suining. The army converged in the northwest of Siyang.

Because the water camp was left in Suining, after joining forces with Liu Tingzhou, Lin Fu was no longer eager to go north, and rested for two days in this remnant fortress called Gaojiazhai in the northwest of Siyang.

Not only will the remnants of the Duhuai Army get more adequate rest, strengthen their armor and equipment, and restore their ability to advance and fight in motion, but also to provide more adequate treatment for the wounded and dead, so that their injuries can be more stable and able to support the army. transfer.

In addition to the more than 1,000 casualties of the Duhuai Army, the Jiangdong Zuo Army forcibly advanced from Suining to Siyang, and there were also more than 300 casualties.

Although the refugee army once had more than 30,000 troops in Siyang, they did not dare to spread out to encircle Gaojia Village. They only set up three large camps in the northeast, northwest and due east, and moved west to Bianshui and south. The roads of the South Huai River are all given up.

In the middle of the month of July, although the scorching sun was still very hot, it was better a few days ago.

At noon, the cicadas roared loudly, and Lin Bie, accompanied by Zhou Pu and others, climbed the watchtower at the north corner of the village to look at the enemy's situation.

"Looking at this situation, are the rogues planning to withdraw from Siyang?" Zhou Pu put his arms on his hips and looked into the distance. In their field of vision, there were already refugee troops evacuating north. He frowned slightly and said, "It's me, Withdrawing from Suyu and Siyang, and rebuilding a line of defense in the north of Suining, there may be a chance to fight..."

"Yue Lengqiu had only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, and the refugee army surrounded it five times. After more than two months of strong attack, they were not defeated. Liu Miaozhen, Ma Lantou, and Sun Ganzi only had 30,000 soldiers and horses in Siyang. Have the courage to swallow my ten thousand elites?" Ao Canghai said.

Lin Fu went south from Suining and led the Changshan Camp, Fengli Camp, and Cavalry Camp, and there were more than 7,000 elites.

Lin Bie frowned slightly and said, "The generals also know that even if they are used to encircle our army, they will be vulnerable to our army's weakness. It is better to simply withdraw and pack food, grass and livestock as soon as possible. Going north to change Siyang’s army and horses, but they are bloated and inconvenient. Whether all the rogues will be withdrawn is really hard to say, you see they have no determination to attack Gaojiazhai, but we leave Gaojiazhai and leave Kuangyuan withdraws to Huaishui to the south and Bianshui to the west, they may not be able to attack..."

Xiao Kuian was puzzled.

The bandits had more elite soldiers in Siyang, but they evacuated the less effective soldiers, leaving at most 14,000 or 5,000 elite soldiers. No matter how elite these 14,000 or 5,000 bandits are, they cannot compare to the 10,000 elites after the Jiangdong Zuo Army and the Duhuai Army joined forces.

Lin Fu and the generals under his command not only did not mention taking the initiative to attack the three camps of the bandits in the north and east of Gaojiazhai, but worried that when they retreated south, the elites of the bandits would come to cover their way, would it be too conservative?

At this time, Xiao Kuian couldn't see Lin Fu's sharpness when he entered Yannan alone, but he led his troops westward from Shukou some time ago, and even broke the Yishui camp of the bandits, the east camp of Sishui River, and captured Sui. Ning Cheng's sharpness was also completely different.

Liu Tingzhou was silent in his heart, Lin Fu's thoughts, he could guess seven or eight.

The bandits like Siyang, in order to protect the overall situation of Xuzhou, the 14,000 or 5,000 people left behind must be elites who can go all out and dare to fight hard battles. Since Jiangdong Zuojun can gnaw down this hard bone, the price will be heavy.

If Lin Fu was loyal to the imperial court, he should annihilate the elite bandits in Siyang regardless of casualties.

Although there are 30,000 to 50,000 elite bandits, they have 14,000 to 5,000 elite soldiers in Siyang, and there are more than 10,000 elites from the third division of Chen Han and Sun Zhuang who are blocked on the east bank of Sishui and cannot get there. There are 100,000 soldiers and horses, but the elite soldiers are constantly being transferred away. In Xuzhou, if you can make up 20,000 elite soldiers, it will be the sky.

As long as Lin Fu can ignore the casualties, he will annihilate the bandits in Siyang. However, he will lead his division northward and attack with Yue Lengqiu. The possibility of breaking Liu An'er is very high.

Lin Fufei couldn't, and he didn't want to.

Liu Bu was destroyed, Huaisi recovered, the Central Plains stabilized, Jiangdong Zuo Army suffered heavy casualties, how could Lin Fu be his hero?

It was only at this time that Liu Tingzhou realized that no matter whether he took out Yue Lengqiu's three seals, it would be impossible to change Lin Bing's will. calamity.

Lin Fu looked at the sparse forest in the distance, and his thoughts were far away. Liang's family was in Jinan and Cao's family was in Tongguan. He was trying his best to break Liu An'er's main force besieging Xuzhou, what was the use?

Liu An's elites were lost, and the remnants of the refugee army who were forced to evacuate to Shandong would become Liang's belly Chinese food, and the remnants of the refugee army who were forced to withdraw to Zhongzhou would become the food in the eyes of Cao's family, who left Tongguan in the east. Liu An'er's followers in the Haosi area may join Luo Xiancheng, who has entered Huaishang Shouzhou. At that time, Luo Xiancheng will replace Liu An'er and become a serious trouble in the Lianghuai area again.

Among the three forces of Liang, Cao, and Luo Xiancheng, the one who benefits the most is the Liang.

In the Northern Army of Xuzhou, the Tianpao Army led by Ge Ping was weak, but had the largest number, with nearly 200,000 people from Ding Zhuang. If Lin Fu used his milk strength to break Liu An'er's main force surrounding Xuzhou, the remnants of the refugee army who eventually poured into western Shandong and eastern Zhongzhou would probably be as many as 300,000.

Although the number of 300,000 people was large, the elites were all lost, and the rest lacked clothing and food, the soldiers and armor were incomplete, and the ranks were not organized, like dogs who lost their homes.

At the same time occupying Jinan, Pingyuan, Daming, and Hezhong's four mansions, Liang's troops and horses have been expanded to 50,000 to 60,000 people, and their training has been three or four months.

Once the remnants of the refugee army are destroyed and incorporated by the Liang family, the power of the Liang family will expand again.

At that time, Lin Fu tried his best to **** the milk, and he could not guarantee that their forces in Qingzhou and on both sides of the Jiaolai River would not be expelled by the Liang family.

Lin Fu wanted to drive the refugee army to Shandong, but he also wanted to make the refugee army withdraw to Shandong a hard bone that Liang's family couldn't bite. From a longer-term perspective, even if Xuzhou was given up at this time and occupied by the refugee army, it would be much better than exhausting Liu An'er's troops.

Lin Bie put his hands off the guard building, stood on the muddy ground with a layer of loess floating, and said to Liu Tingzhou, "Should the court allow us to recruit a refugee army? These thieves are like leeks in the spring, one after another. , not only kills, most people are thieves, and they also eat together, who would have the heart to raise a butcher's knife against them?"

"..." Liu Tingzhou was stunned for a moment, the whole situation was slowly changing in the favor of the court, why did Lin Fu suddenly propose the matter of reassurance? He said, "It's not a long-term solution to appease the bandits. Even if you want to recruit security, you have to beat the bandits to death and hurt them. Besides, how can Liu An'er, the leader of the bandits, be a rebellious generation?"

"Our army occupied Suining, blocked Bianshui and Sishui, reached his waist, cut his throat, and neither female nor female can't tolerate him anymore!" Lin Fu smiled and said, "For recruiting security, maybe we will send someone into Xuzhou. , ask Governor Yue for his opinion!"

Xiao Kuian secretly said: How can it be easy to send someone into Xuzhou at this time?

Liu Tingzhou secretly said: If you can really send people into Xuzhou, although Yue Lengqiu has the name of the governor, the general situation of the war is in Lin Fu's hands, whether it is peace or war, how can Yue Lengqiu be the master? In order to get out, Yue Lengqiu would bite the bullet and beat him down?

Rather than sit back and watch Xuzhou City be destroyed, Yue Lengqiu and Changhuai Army be destroyed, it is easier to accept peace talks.

Thinking of this, Liu Tingzhou said resolutely: "If you want to ask for security, the old man is willing to enter Xuzhou for the messenger! If you want to come to robbers, you won't make it difficult for me, a white-headed old man."

"Then it's hard work, Master Liu." Lin Fu said.

Yue Lengqiu would still benefit from recruiting for peace, but in the current situation, it was the best policy.

Compared with the luxurious family who swallowed up eastern Zhejiang, surrounded Datong and watched the Central Plains, Yue Lengqiu was not a big problem at all. Even if Yue Lengqiu still held the position of governor of Jianghuai, the restrictions on the left army in Jiangdong were quite high. limited. Even Lubei Liang, who recruited troops to buy horses, and Cao, who waited and watched in Tongguan, also had more headaches than Yue Lengqiu.

At this time, it is still beneficial to keep Yue Lengqiu.

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

Sun Zhuang sat in front of the curtain of the big tent, holding the saber in silence~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He wanted to fight, but Liu Miaozhen and Ma Lantou were not allowed.

Sun Zhuang led his troops to aid Siyang, and there were only more than a thousand people. At this time, there were only less than half of them. He wanted to act without authorization, but it was impossible to pull people to attack Gaojiazhai.

The Jiangdong Zuo Army escaped into Gaojiazhai to rest, and Liu Miaozhen and Ma Lantou also arranged to rest, and at the same time arranged for the troops with poor combat strength to retreat from Siyang to Xuzhou first.

These poorly fought soldiers and horses can't be of much help if they stay. During battles, they are often the first to be defeated, forming a chaotic wave of troops that disrupts the entire battle formation. Especially in the battle against the Jiangdong Left Army, the capture of the Yishui Camp and the Sishui Hedong Camp was a precedent.

Liu Miaozhen led the troops to come to aid, of course it would be good to be able to defeat the Jiangdong Zuo Army and regain Suining.

Once this goal cannot be achieved, it is necessary to consider the unfavorable situation of the main attack on Xuzhou.

The east bank of the Sishui River is dominated by the three tribes of Chen Han. Since Chen Hansan joined him, he has never been under the control of him, and he can no longer be controlled at this time. However, Siyang and Suyu, the more than 20,000 horsemen on the corners of Huaisi, have always been the core fighting force of the refugee army. They must support the northward movement. Can't get out on the corner of Huaisi.

Sun Zhuang was unconvinced. He clearly still had the strength to fight in one battle. With hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, Dui also killed Jiangdong Zuojun.

At this time, a fast horse came, and Sun Zhuang looked around, but it was a sentry galloping back from the front base.

I didn't hear the horn, what could be the front base?

"The Huaidong Jingkou system set up envoys in front of the battle, and wanted to see the three commanders of Qu. They said that they were here for security reasons, and they wanted to go to Xuzhou by way!" The sentry knelt before the tent and reported.

Liu Miaozhen, Ma Lantou, and Sun Zhuang were all startled. They walked to the tent together and asked, "Who is the envoy?"
