Lord of the House

Chen Zhihu led his troops to capture Linzi on July 22 and plundered; the news of the fall of Linzi city reached Chongzhou on July 29.

Lin Fu didn't stay in Jiangmen, and rushed back to Chongcheng without stopping. That night, the officials who stayed in Chongzhou were called to discuss matters, and Lin Mengde and Zhou Guangnan had just returned from Jiangning. The lights in Dongya were bright all night.

It rained in the night, and it hit the leaves of the bamboo shoots, rustling and rustling, and the stone steps were slippery. courtyard.

Gu Junxun stood in front of the porch with a complicated expression on his face, mixed with pain.

Seeing Jun Xun like this, Gu Yingxiu put away the rain dripping umbrella and held her hand pitifully; Liu Yueer and Xiaoman listened to the voice and walked out of the room, asking Gu Yingxiu: "Dong How long will it take to discuss the matter?"

"Things haven't stopped, maybe I have to stay up late..." Gu Yingxiu saw Jun Xun's sad face and said, "Why don't you go directly to Dongya and listen to what they have to say? It's better than worrying here?"

Gu Junxun shook his head and said, "Xianggong has gone through untold hardships to get him today, I shouldn't let him embarrass him, but I can't help worrying about Qingzhou - my mother was exiled with my father for ten years before returning. After all the hardships in the world, my sister-in-law has just turned one year old. Yang Xin may not be able to save it, but I thought that I might be able to pick up my mother, sister-in-law and the swaddling child from Qingzhou, maybe in time!"

"It will take seven or eight days to rush to Qingzhou with fast horses and whips. Sending three or five hundred troops and horses over, the speed is even slower," Gu Yingxiu said, "Now we can only wait patiently - Linzi has fallen, and Qingzhou is in To the east, there is always some precautions, and it will not be easy for thieves and captives..."

"Xiang Gong may have made arrangements, if not to ask Miss Song to ask?" Liu Yue'er said.

"That's right, it's better than sitting here and waiting." Xiaoman said.

They all went to Dongya with their female relatives. They were suspected of being women who were involved in politics, and the influence was not good. However, Song Jia followed Lin Fu all the year round, and she was most aware of Huaidong's military and political arrangements.

It's better to call Song Jia to another courtyard alone to ask questions, rather than guessing like headless flies here.

Linzi fell, and Yang Xin's retreat was cut off. It was already a life-and-death situation—in any case, Gu Wuchen and Gu Siyuan were her father and brother, and now they were trapped in Yangxin and at stake, how could Gu Junxun not worry or be concerned?

Listening to Liu Yue'er and Xiao Man's suggestion to call Song Jia over, Gu Junxun hesitated again, afraid that Song Jia would be delayed in the East Yarn, she would send someone to call and she would be disturbed - just as he was hesitating, Juan Er came in from the outer courtyard. , said: "Song Dianshu is here..."

"My lord has called the officials and generals to discuss matters. I don't know when I will be able to rest, so I came here specially..." Song Jia walked into the hanging flower hall and looked at the ladies standing in front of the porch. She paused for a while, her eyes on Gu Yingxiu After looking at his face for a moment, he said, "Let me come over and speak to the three ladies..."

Gu Junxun looked at Gu Yingxiu hesitantly, wondering if Song Jia should be left for questioning, Gu Yingxiu said, "Miss Song, you are always by Seventeen's side, does Huaidong have anything to do with Qingzhou? means?"

"The main force of Huaidong's troops and horses are trapped in the south, and it is impossible to lead the army to aid Qingzhou," Song Jia responded to Gu Yingxiu's words while holding a red silk umbrella, standing under the falling garden trees. Asking questions, he said, "It's not that there is no means to deal with it, but it's hard to say whether it can be used or not..."

"Let's go inside and talk, the rain has splashed my clothes..." Liu Yue'er shouted softly, asking Song Jia to go down to the porch to avoid the rain.

The relationship between Song Jia and Lin Fu is well known to the people in the inner house - this is nothing at all. Song Jia is such a beautiful woman who follows Lin Fu without a name or a role. Generally speaking, the situation is even more pitiful. . But in fact, Song Jia is a female official, and she can still follow Lin Bie for a long time. No matter how generous a woman is, she will have opinions in her heart, and will also be hostile to Song Jia, and her attitude will be cold.

Whether it was Gu Junxun or Gu Yingxiu, they subconsciously asked Song Jia to stand in the courtyard to ask questions; only Liu Yue'er had the mildest temperament and thought of asking Song Jia to speak in the room.

"The military commander sent a lot of people to Qingzhou, and General Wu actually went to the north after May, but no matter how many people he sent, it would be hard to do much in the face of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Yanlu entering Qingzhou. ," Song Jia took the umbrella off, handed it to Zuo Lan, followed into the room, sat down and said, "Linzi fell, and Yangxin's retreat to the south was cut off, but the traitor Yuan Lishan took against Yangxin. It is still the strategy of encircling the three and one, and there is no complete encirclement in the east of Yangxin - the military division is unable to organize troops and horses to support landings. If Yangxin can break through along the Zhulong River, Jinwei Island will also organize some sea ships to arrive. The Zhulong River empties into the sea to respond. But in fact, the opening of the gap by the captive soldiers is also to lure the defenders of Yangxin to flee and facilitate field annihilation. It is also very likely that there are hidden soldiers in ambush on the way from Yangxin to Zhulong River. How many people can break out in the end depends on the fact It's hard to predict! Besides, what Master Gu will do in Yangxin is not within our grasp..."

This involves the question of whether Gu Wuchen and Gu Siyuan might be able to defeat the enemy. Song Jia said it vaguely, but Gu Junxun was smart, and she immediately wanted to understand. Her face turned pale, she just shook her head and said, "My father has been in exile for ten years. The opportunity to get out of trouble will definitely not be given up..."

Gu Yingxiu took over the conversation and asked Song Jia: "Except for Yangxin, most of the cities in Qingzhou have empty defenses and are difficult to defend. Do you have any plans for Seventeen?" Little, but no matter how you have to pick up Auntie and Siyuan's wife and children, it can be regarded as leaving a root for the Gu family.

"After Linzi fell, if Dengzhou Town did not send troops in, the total number of defenders in Qingzhou counties would add up to thousands," Song Jia said. The road to retreat from Henan will be dangerous - now we can only retreat to Yishan. General Chu went south from Yangxin to Huaidong, but he did not stop. After meeting with the adults in Changguo in early June, he went back to the north again. If the old man If people are willing to retreat to Yishan, Yishan will respond, as long as they enter Yishan, it will be easier to reach Huaidong..."

After listening to Song Jia's introduction, Gu Yingxiu understood that the situation in Qingzhou had completely collapsed. Huaidong's arrangement could help some people escape, but only if the Gu family was willing to cooperate - if the Gu family remembered the previous resentment , at the last moment still insisted on going his own way, and if he did not cooperate with Huaidong, the situation would be even more dangerous.

But for Huaidong, this is the only way to do it, Gu Yingxiu thought, maybe this will make Jun Xun feel better, after all, he is not sitting here watching Gu family go to die.

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

Lin Fu returned to Dongya, and immediately decided to divide the General Intelligence Division into two divisions, the north and the south, to deal with the collection and analysis of military intelligence on the southern and northern lines, and they were led by Wu Qi and Gao Zongting.

Huaidong intends to use Yishan to receive the troops and civilians evacuated from the northern part of Shandong. In order to prevent others from taking over, it is necessary to send a high-level general to sit in Yishan - and Wu Qi is also used to sneaking behind the enemy to work, so the Northern Division has a separate office. The Vice-President presides over the day-to-day affairs.

The situation in the counties of Qingzhou Prefecture is not known yet, but after Lin Fu returned to Dongya, Qin Chengzu asked Qin Chengzu to immediately transfer 200 military attachés from various ministries and war training schools to sneak into Yishan urgently to deal with the military and civilians after the situation in northern Shandong collapsed. Massively fled into the chaos of Yishan.

Except for the main office, there are long chairs attached to the walls on both sides. Lin Fu is in the side hall where Dongya handles official affairs on a daily basis. The round table discussion method has been adopted. Lin Fu, Qin Chengzu, Lin Mengde, Gao Zongting, Ye Junan, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang and others sat around the table.

"Would you like to transfer the Jinhai Navy up?" Lin Fu asked. Even if he draws forty battalions of soldiers and armors, it will take two or three months to form a combat force. He only has three Jinhai battalions left. Brigade pawns can call.

Although the news of the fall of Lizi was only reported to the north, the entire Qingzhou and Dengzhou to the east had extremely limited troops. It was hard to predict how the Liang family would react in the west. The chaos in Qingzhou was also a hindrance. After the collection and transmission of intelligence, further and more detailed intelligence will take some time to come back, but the collapse of the situation in northern Shandong is already something that can be seen with the naked eye.

In order to quickly break the reins on the southern front, Lin Fu considered whether to put all the last reserve troops in~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Qin Chengzu, Lin Mengde, Gao Zongting and others looked at each other, and in the end it was Lin Mengde He opened his mouth and said, "When Zhou Guangnan and I went to Jiangning this time, Huaidong's reputation among the streets and alleys has greatly increased, but the more popular the market is, the more suspicious it will be on the temples - the most threatening to Huaidong, Except for the luxury family and Hulu, Jiang Ning can't be underestimated..."

No matter how deep the conflict with the Gu family is, they still have a bottom line for each other. When Gu Wuchen was in Jiangning, he still controlled the Jiangning water camp, so there was no need to keep many garrison troops in Chongzhou - this time is not the time, as usual, Jiangning must maintain the north-south line of defense. Huaidong is not opened, but in history, there have been countless people who self-destructed the Great Wall. Huaidong cannot be without garrison troops in Chongzhou. This is almost the consensus formed by Lin Mengde and others.

Besides, no matter how critical the situation is, it is only possible to have a part of the reserve force, which is the most basic military principle.

Lin Fu sighed lightly, and also knew that it was not the time to use up the last reserve troops - he could only make plans based on the development of the situation on the north and south fronts.

At this moment, the guards came in to report: "Yongchang Marquis sent a post to see the adults..."

Lin Fu took the invitation, threw it on the table, looked at the people on both sides, and said, "What is Yuan Guizheng doing in Chongzhou at this time?"

"Maybe he came to Chongzhou long ago, but the news of the fall of Linzi forced him to show up and contact Huaidong..." Gao Zongting guessed.

After all, Chongzhou is still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Since Lin Fu has the intention of restricting people from entering and leaving Chongzhou, he does not have the energy. On the side of Empress Dowager Liang and Wang Yuanjianwu of Hailing, Lin Fu is only sending troops to guard the palace, and has no intention of house arrest or surveillance. There is no need for this - Jiangning talked about asking the Queen Mother to return to the court in early July, and it is not so surprising that Yuan Guizheng quietly entered Chongzhou.
