Lord of the House

Watching Gao Zongting leave, Sun Shangwang felt emotional, secretly thinking that he still had the last hope for the Yuan clan in his heart, right?

After Gao Zongting left, Sun Shangwang boarded the city again, and Lin Xuwen went to another place while he was talking to Gao Zongting. From a distance, he saw a ship docked, and he didn't know whether the ship from Denglai came from Chongzhou. However, as long as they see the ships coming ashore, there is hope for the refugees trapped in the Jinhai Sea.

They hoped that Jinhai would be able to hold on, but the price to pay for filling 300,000 to 400,000 people in Jinhai was too high. As for Huaidong's arrangement, more than 300,000 refugees should be evacuated first, but the 20,000 defenders, including the Huaidong Cavalry Camp, would be left behind until the end.

This so-called "final" actually depends on the reaction of the Donghu people. If you really think that if you fill three or four hundred thousand people here, you will definitely be able to defend Jinhai.

Furthermore, if Jinhai defends, Yanjing will surely be able to defend it? It is expected that Yanjing will run out of food by the end of July. When the food runs out, the test of the morale of the defenders of Yanjing will really come.

The world is chess, and the Huaidong family is not the only one who makes moves on this chessboard.

In any case, Gao Zongting was still Li Zhuo's advisor, and at this time he was unwilling to do everything for Huaidong, which was a pity. Even so, not everyone in Huaidong wanted Gao Zongting to join him and suddenly rise to a high position.

While inspecting the defense of the city wall, Sun Shangwang was thinking wildly. When he walked to Nanzhai, a guard ran over from the main city and told him that a letter had come from Huaidong. Sun Shangwang rushed back to the official hall, and Lin Xuwen, Gao Zongting, Wu Qi, Zhou Pu, Ma Yigong and others had already rushed over.

"My lord, I hope that after the fall of Yanjing, we still have to hold on for as long as possible," Wu Qi said as he handed the letter in his hand to Sun Shangwang. Sun Shangwang was qualified to read Lin Fu's handwritten letter. "The evacuation of people, the adults hope that the evacuation will start from now on without further delay. First, evacuate the people in distress by sea to Laizhou, go down the Jiaolai River, and then go to Jimo, by sea and land, and then transfer to Huaikou. Huaidong has already dispatched personnel to Laizhou, Jimo and other places to make preparations... These people have stayed in Jinhai to consume and sacrifice, and they may not be able to change the overall situation.

When Sun Shangwang took the letter, he glanced at Gao Zongting again. The situation was very clear now. Jiang Ning was ready to support the new emperor and refused to save Yanjing. The mentality is also accurately grasped - Gao Zongting turned his eyes away with shame on his face.

Sun Shangwang unfolded Lin Fu's personal letter from Huaidong: Although the situation in the north is hopeless, the record in eastern Zhejiang is very encouraging. At least on the east front, it has forced the She family to turn from the offensive to the defensive.

To be able to relocate 300,000 to 400,000 people from Jinhai to Daishan, Changguo, Mingzhou and other places for resettlement, and then select the strong ones to join the army, Huaidong said that he can get 300,000 to 40,000 soldiers. This result is better than that in Tianjin. It is better to consume the sea.

When Sun Shangwang was reading the letter, Wu Qi continued: "Yanjing is likely to run out of food by the end of July, and before the end of July, Yanjing is likely to organize a breakthrough. As far as the deployment of the Donghu people is concerned, it is also one of the 'three encirclements'. However, due to the terrain of Jinhai, there is no long-term benefit, and the injured and sick need to be evacuated to Jinwei Island for resettlement in time. Don't give up!"

The Donghu people did not encircle Yanjing with troops under the city, but deployed 50,000 to 60,000 elite cavalry on the periphery. Yanjing wanted to organize a large-scale breakthrough in the direction of Jinhai. Maybe only a few people can be rescued sporadically.

In addition, Jinhai is located at the lower estuary of the Guoshui River and Chaohe River. It faces water on one side and land on three sides. It has a wide attack surface of nearly 20 miles. If Tie Xin of the East Hu people wanted to attack Jinhai, it would be difficult to hold such a wide face without enough troops.

Jinwei Island is isolated in the sea, and the terrain on the island is also dangerous. The only disadvantage is that it is too small. Except for the outer fortifications, the interior of the island is only 100 acres in size. Jinwei Island is qualified as the last support point of Jinhai City, but it cannot stay too many soldiers and horses for a long time.

How to keep Jinhai, I have been studying for a long time in the past two months, even the evacuation plan, and several sets have been formulated, and I will wait for the final decision.

"What do you think of the evacuation of personnel, Mr. Lin?" Sun Shangwang asked Lin Xuwen. In any case, Lin Xuwen's orders must be followed in Jinhai.

"Send someone to inform Mr. Huang, and make preparations here. When Mr. Huang agrees, we will arrange for someone to withdraw to Dengzhou first." Lin Xuwen said that the food stock here is only enough to support 300,000 to 400,000 people at most. At the end of July, whether Jinhai will stay or stay, it actually depends on Huaidong's attitude.

Since Lin Fu left Jinhai in early March, Huang Jinnian was so angry that he vomited blood. Since then, he has been unable to take care of his illness, and he has not cared about Jinhai's defense affairs. Fortunately, Huang Jinnian's representative of the Ministry of Household in Jinhai has no other real powers in Jinhai except for the jurisdiction of Jinhai warehouse. He does not show up, and it is convenient for Lin Xuwen and the others not to serve his uncle.

However, when it came to organizing the mass evacuation of people from Jinhai, how could Lin Xuwen tell Huang Jinnian in advance.

"Let me go!" Sun Shangwang said.

Huang Jinnian is probably the only third-rank minister who can travel from the north to the south. If he chooses to be loyal to the new emperor, his status in Jiangning will not be low. Even if high-level civil servants in Yanjing eventually escaped, they would only be fugitives who lost their families. They were incomparable in terms of political prestige with officials like Huang Jinnian, who had to stick to Jinhai and finally had to retreat southward.

Although Huaidong used King Qin as an excuse to attack the west in early March, which made Huang Jinnian curse, but Huaidong still hoped that Huang Jinnian would bow his head in the face of the situation.

It seems that Huang Jinnian is an official in the direct line of Zhang and Yue, but it is not indistinguishable.

If Huang Jinnian is willing to cooperate with Huaidong, Huaidong will certainly spare no effort to support Huang Jinnian's political high in Jiangning. If Huang Jinnian stubbornly holds a grudge against Huaidong, it may be more beneficial to Huaidong for him to end up coexisting with Jinhai and be loyal to the court.

How to deal with Huang Jinnian, Zhang Wendeng and others, Lin Fu had already sent a secret letter to Wu Qi and Sun Shangwang, asking them to deal with them in power.

Sun Shangwang wanted to meet Huang Jinnian in person, so he took this opportunity to test Huang Jinnian's aspirations, and Lin Xuwen would not be touched at all. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Wu Qi and Sun Shangwang, and asked them to go to the side hall to have a secret conversation with him.

Gao Zongting watched Wu Qi and Sun Shangwang go to the side hall with Lin Xuwen, and his heart was ups and downs.

Lin Xuwen wanted to ask Wu Qi and Sun Shangwang what to say, and he could easily guess; in fact, Huaidong had already shown his disregard for ministers and his attitude of not being a minister, and he was no longer a loyal minister. Ryoko's retreat.

"The cunning rabbit is dead, the running dog is cooked", even if Lin Fu has the intention to be a loyal minister and a good son, he will never end up better than the former Jingbei Hou Su Hu.

Isn't the only path that can be taken in front of Huaidong not clear enough?

The generals of Geng Quanshan can't see so deeply. If Gao Zongting can't see it, how can they deserve the praise of "the plan of the world"?

At this point, Lin Xuwen must also make a choice.

Either retreat to the south and be loyal to the new emperor, or join Huaidong. After that, the second of the three Lin clan branches was owned by Huaidong. If Huaidong can integrate the Jinhai forces, his strength will definitely leap to a new level, and he will surpass the Liang clan and become the head of the Nanchen.

With Lin Xuwen's qualifications, he can also squeeze into the center of Jiangning and become one of Huaidong's spokespersons in the Jiangning regime. In the future, if Huaidong can really take over the world, Lin Xuwen will naturally have the honor of being a king and a duke.

However, with the depth of Lin Bing's calculations, the last layer of thought, apart from a few people such as Lin Mengde, Fu Qinghe, Qin Chengzu, Cao Zi'ang, etc., probably won't talk to Wu Qi, Sun Shangwang and others.

Gao Zongting thought to himself: Lin Xuwen will probably have to go to Chongzhou to know the exact answer, and it is impossible for Wu Qi and Sun Shangwang to give him an accurate answer.

Thinking of this, Gao Zongting asked bitterly in his heart: Superintendent, superintendent, how do you want Zongting to deal with me? Commander-in-chief, do you want to see Huaidong take over the world?

At this time, a small school hurried in and said, "There is an abnormality in the Eddy River. Compared with noon, the water level has dropped by two inches..."

"Ah!" Gao Zongting was stunned when he heard it, and Lin Xuwen, Wu Qi, and Sun Shangwang heard the sound and rushed out from the side hall. At this time, the rainy season is coming, and the upstream rainwater is enough, and there is no possibility of stopping the flow. The water level of the Eddy River continues to drop. There is only one possibility, that is, the Donghu people intercept the flow upstream.

Lin Xuwen and the generals hurried out of the main city and rushed to the river port wharf in the south. From the water moss on the dam rock of the wharf, the traces of the river's decline could be clearly seen.

There is no doubt that the Donghu people intercepted the upper reaches of the Eddy River. Wu Qi frowned and ordered, "Send someone to check the water level of the Chaohe River!" The small school that received the military order didn't go far~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The scouts over the Chaohe River sent the news that the water level of the Chaohe River had dropped.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Before the troops of the Donghu people could encircle them, they began to cut off the waterways of the Eddy River and Chaohe River. This is not a good sign.

"All ships must immediately withdraw from the Guoshui River and Chaohe River. For the two fortresses of Kan and Li, it is necessary to take earth and build a high platform, and to build a platform road connecting with the main city. The evacuation of the people starts from the low-lying areas! " Gao Zongting suggested.

The way to attack and defend a city is the most important terrain and water potential.

Seriously speaking, if you really want to build Jinhai City, Wang Dengtai Mountain in the west is the only sloping terrain on the left and right that is not afraid of flooding, but Wang Dengtai Mountain is more than 30 miles away from the coast.

Jinhai was located on the side of Yanjing, and the imperial court could not allow Jinhai to establish a fortress defense system extending from the seaport to the inland depths of thirty kilometers. In the later period of Jinhai, only a small outpost was built on Wangdengtai Mountain, but there was almost twenty-four or five miles of space to come from Wangdengtai Mountain. Before the Donghu people encircle them on a large scale, this side will abandon the Wang Dengtaishan outpost and withdraw the 100 soldiers and horses there.

Building a city by the sea in Jinhai is the convenience of the seaport and river estuary. It is also the best choice at the beginning of the construction of the city in Jinhai under such difficult and embarrassing circumstances. Especially in the west of Kan and Li Erzhai, the terrain is the lowest, forming a gap extending to the main city, which is the most fatal weakness of Jinhai City.

The Donghu people intercepted the vortex water and the Chaohe waterway before encircling the city. It is very likely that they have seen the weakness of the Jinhai city defense. Their next step is probably to guide the water potential of the two rivers into the low-lying area to the west of Jinhai City.

Gao Zongting was secretly shocked: It is really impossible to peep into the East Hu people. Donghu has recruited a lot of talented people over the years. The more patient Donghu people are, the harder it is for Jinhai to defend. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
