Lord of the House

Vol 9 Chapter 63: The way of separation

"My eldest brother has changed his mind and is determined to achieve a great career. When he married the Du family, it was difficult to walk on both sides of Qingzhou and Jiangning, and Quan never returned to Jiangning to salute. After getting married, he sent his pregnant new wife to Jiangning to serve him. My parents, he is in the barracks all day. Although Qingzhou has many shortcomings compared to Huaidong, my eldest brother is not slack in Qingzhou." Gu Junxun asked tearfully, "Can Qingzhou really be guarded?"

Lin Fu didn't answer, took off his coat, and got into the quilt next to Jun Xun's delicate body.

"I'm not supposed to say these things..." Gu Junxun said with a guilty conscience.

Lin Fu touched Jun Xun's fragrant cheeks. She was only twenty-one years old, and she was at the age of youthful youth. In later generations, it was a time of pampering and pampering, but she was constrained by etiquette in the current world, so saying a few words for her family was also worth it. Be careful, make people pity and love.

"You and I, husband and wife, what else is there to avoid and say?" Lin Fu took Jun Xun into his arms and put her head on his chest to lie on his side. He could feel her chest against her ribs. Heart beating, he said, "I also know about Si Yuan's hard work in Qingzhou, but if I stand up to support Si Yuan this time, I will actually harm him!"

"..." Gu Junxun leaned halfway against Lin Fuxiongjian's body, raised his head, and looked at Lin Fu puzzled.

"Jiangning supports the formation of the Qingzhou Legion. Naturally, the Qingzhou Legion will not shrink to the inside. Siyuan must at least deploy the main force to the north of Qingzhou, and even advance to the front line of Yangxin, so that Jiangning will be satisfied," Lin Fu said. " If the Liang family can defend Jinan, it is safe for Si Yuan to lead his troops to Yangxin, but the key is that I am not optimistic about the Liang family..."

"Don't the Liang family have 50,000 or 60,000 elites available?" Gu Junxun asked.

"There are soldiers and food," Lin Fu said, "Zhongzhou used to be a large county with thousands of people, but the war that lasted for several years has caused a lot of trouble, including central Jin and western Shandong. One or two out of ten, especially the local clans, are almost gone. Once these areas are infiltrated by captives, even if they can be defended, they will be isolated cities... Once Si Yuan led his troops to Yangxin, he actually gave them money. Opportunity for the Liang family to shrink south."

Gu Junxun grew up in front of Tang Haoxin's knees since he was a child. Tang Haoxin also doted on her and seldom restrained her with female rituals, so that she had more access to political affairs than ordinary women, so Lin Fu explained patiently, she could understand a little bit .

"Rights and obligations have always been equal," Lin Fu continued, "At this time, Si Yuan could advance and retreat in Qingzhou, and Jin could lead his troops to Yangxin to fight for military exploits; if Yangxin couldn't keep it, he could also lead his troops back. , no one will harshly demand that he must keep Yangxin. To be honest, it is not difficult to support Si Yuan to take the position of the Qingzhou system envoy, and it is not difficult to even support Lord Taishan in Jiangning and Yue Lengqiu. Come, Si Yuan has no choice but to defend Yang Xin..."

Once the Liang family retreated to the south, Gu Siyuan led the hastily formed Qingzhou Army to the front, how dangerous it would be, Gu Junxun was a woman who was not familiar with military affairs, and could understand a thing or two.

Gu Junxun crouched on Lin Bie's chest and said in a low voice, "I didn't think so much, so I just complained about you, I..."

"..." Lin Fu pinched Jun Xun's nose lovingly and said, "I will write a letter to explain the powerful relationship to your father and Si Yuan. Huaidong currently does not support Si Yuan to keep Qingzhou. Now, it's hard to say whether your father and Siyuan can listen and what decisions they will make. Of course, your father and Siyuan decide to keep Qingzhou, and Huaidong can't just stand by..." Having said that, Lin Fu said another He sighed and said, "If Si Yuan is still the same as before, I have nothing to worry about, and there is nothing wrong with retreating in spite of difficulties. With Lord Taishan here, Si Yuan's wealth is indispensable in his life, and I am even more worried that he will know It's hard to go back!"

Marriage is a type of political alliance, and the interests of political alliances cannot be exactly the same. Be consistent in the general direction unless it eventually breaks.

Although the differences between them are getting bigger and bigger, just like Lin Fu wanted to take the post of Hailing prefect at the beginning, and Gu Wuchen did not agree with the final choice to support, today Gu Wuchen and Gu Siyuan want to keep Qingzhou, although Huaidong does not agree, but in the end will choose to support them.

Of course, even with the full support of Huaidong, the salt and silver from the two Huai Rivers would not be able to flow to Qingzhou completely. Gu Siyuan could account for more than one-third of the total, which is quite optimistic.

Lin Bie stayed overnight in Gu Junxun's room, and got up early the next day, and gathered together Lin Mengde, Qin Chengzu, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Hu Zhicheng, Zhou Guangnan, Wang Chengfu and other key figures in Chongzhou to discuss the matter. .

"Huaidong's resources must ensure military expansion in eastern Zhejiang," Qin Chengzu said. "Only by dragging down the extravagant family and destroying them, and only by ensuring the stability of the southern line, can we finally defeat the Donghu people; The key point is to protect Huaisi, especially with the unstable factor of Xuzhou, Huaidong can't pin his hopes on being able to defend Yangxin and Qingzhou - it is best for Master Gu to persuade him. Huaidong cannot completely dominate the flow of Huaiyan silver, and it is not the worst choice to use it in Qingzhou instead of flowing into the pockets of others..."

Lin Fu looked at the others, and the others were unwilling to waste Huaidong's resources on Yangxin and Qingzhou. This is the same as the dispersion of troops, and resources should be used as much as possible.

As for the two Huai salt and silver, Huaidong can't get it either. Rather than giving it to others, it is better to give it to Qingzhou, which has the same source.

Once Gu Siyuan couldn't hold back in Yangxin and Qingzhou, the remnants retreated south, which could also serve as a barrier for Huaidong on the periphery; besides, Qingzhou and Yangxin were also part of Huaidong's flank front.

"Did you send someone to ask Qing He and Zi'ang's opinion?" Lin Mengde asked.

"Zi'ang and Mr. Fu probably have the same opinion," Lin Fu sighed and said, "Uncle Mengde, go to Zhao Qinmin and tell him Huaidong's opinion, don't have any reservations..."

Lin Meng had to go to the post house to find Zhao Qinmin, but at this moment, the post cavalry rushed into Chongcheng, bringing the news that Datong defenders had surrendered.

Lin Mengde hurriedly told Zhao Qinmin about Huaidong's opinion at the post house, and went to Dongya together with Zhao Qinmin. Lin Fu was in the side hall, lying on the wall on the north side of the side hall, and replaced the Datong logo on the map with vermilion representing the Donghu people.

The map hanging on the north wall of the side hall marked the situation so clearly and so shockingly.

The fall of Datong after seven months of holding on, meant that the passage for the Donghu people to enter western Hebei from the northwest of Yanshan was completely opened, and most of northern Shanxi, northern Taihang and western Hebei were also occupied, and Yanjing and Xuanfu in the north were completely reduced to isolated cities.

Donghu assembled nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jidong (Jingdong), as if a heavy and sharp knife was hanging there, cutting off the connection between Yanjing and Jinhai. In the northwest of Shanxi, more and more Hu people of Yanxi went south to fight, forming a positive blockade against the troops and horses of the Cao family advancing eastward.

After the fall of Datong, the Cao family also lost the motivation and support to advance eastward. Once Cao's family retreats to Guanzhong, it means that the Donglu can draw more troops from the west to attack Jinnan, or enter Yannan to completely block the Liang family and Tao Chun's troops on the periphery.

Seeing Zhao Qinmin and Lin Mengde come in, Lin Fu threw away the charcoal and said, "The Donghu people are fighting in Jidong with the intention of encircling the point and helping them. In a short time, they will neither attack Jinhai nor Yan Beijing, but unless 100,000 elites can be organized to land from Jinhai, Yanjing can no longer save..."

At this time, let’s not talk about drawing 100,000 elites from the southern line to the north. Even if Huaidong’s troops and horses in eastern Zhejiang are drawn out, it is very likely that the defense line in the south will collapse completely. No matter whether the emperor is in Yanjing or not, giving up Yanjing is already the current time. Pragmatic choice.

Both Zhao Qinmin and Lin Mengde were silent.

"Uncle Mengde should have told Mr. Zhao about Huaidong's opinion," Lin Fu said, putting his hand behind him, "I will support what decision Jiayue and Siyuan will make in the end."

"Yes, I'll go back to Jiangning right away." Zhao Qinmin said.

"No, Mr. Zhao should stay in Chongzhou first, and let Uncle Mengde accompany you to chat for two more days; for Jiayue and Siyuan, I will send a letter to send it!" Lin Fu said.

"That's fine." Zhao Qinmin said, he didn't know what decision Gu Wuchen and his son would make in the end. As a retainer, he could not interfere in the final decision.

Although it is said that wealth and wealth are at risk, and the worse the situation is, the more Gu Siyuan can make great achievements in Qingzhou, but it is very difficult to defend Qingzhou. In addition to the fact that Qingzhou's foundation is far worse than Huaidong, Gu Siyuan's reputation cannot be compared with Lin Fu's. , more to inherit Tang Haoxin's political legacy in Qingzhou - he must go north to assist Gu Siyuan. What Lin Fu meant was to ask Lin Mengde to tell him more about Huaidong's political affairs, hoping it would be helpful to defend Qingzhou in the end.

Lin Fu said to the attendant standing at the door again, "Send someone to call Sun Ganzi over!"

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

Sun Zhuang was evacuated from the Luohe Mountain battlefield due to his injury~www.wuxiaspot.com~, so he first returned to Chongcheng to recuperate from his injuries. Up to now, he is still unable to walk, and has only taken an idle job in the Ministry of Military Intelligence. He wanted to lead troops to fight even more, and was very impatient with military situation analysis. The Ministry of Military Intelligence also considers his wounds to be the most important thing, not restricting him, and letting him live freely in Chongzhou City.

Tang Shuen's favorite concubine, since Yunti Pass was forcibly occupied by him, gave him a son while guarding Suining. At the beginning of the year, she became pregnant again, and was brought to Chongzhou later. Tang Shuen always wanted to get this beautiful little woman back, but Lin Fu signed a military marriage order at the beginning of the year. The behavior of officials and gentry to occupy the wives and concubines of generals and soldiers was a serious crime of beheading. . With his blind old mother, Sun Zhuang can be considered to have a home in Chongcheng. He also took in two veterans whose stump legs could no longer go on the battlefield, to be the servants in the house, and to take care of Zhang Gou's house, so he settled down in Chongzhou.

Zhang Gou became the chief general of the east-west and south-eastern Zhejiang camp in the direction of Luohe Mountain, and wrote back to ask the eldest son of his family to learn the art of war and swordsmanship from Sun Zhuang. Sun Zhuang's resentment towards Zhang Gou did not disappear, but his mother and the little woman had benefited from the Zhang family and helped him talk. .

Lin Fu wanted to see Sun Zhuang, so the guards from Dongya went to Sun's house, and they searched all the taverns in Chongcheng with the family who lacked feet in Sun's house, only to find a drunk in a small shop in the corner of a small alley. He—helping him to mount the horse and rush to Dongya.

When Lin Fu saw the drunk Sun Zhuang coming in, he frowned and said, "A stinky drunk, embarrassed and heavy duty, and someone else..." Then he drove Sun Zhuang out. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
