Lord of the House

(I wish brothers and sisters a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and today is still a chapter floating by!)

In response to the collapsed Hehuai situation, in addition to the large-scale adjustment of the Haidong force deployment, at the end of September and early October, Lin Fu also made a series of adjustments to the force deployment north of Chongzhou.

Huaidong is becoming more independent, and Jiangning is also becoming more and more separated. No matter how tight the battle strength of the north and south fronts is, it is necessary to set up a special army to protect the core area from threats.

Ma Yigong was transferred to Haidong, and Zhao Hu took over from Ma Yigong as the commander of the Jinhai Battalion, and assumed the responsibility of Suwei Chongzhou.

The original Jinhai Battalion had four brigades, and the troops on the north and south fronts were very tight. Lin Fu only left Zhao Hu with two brigades and soldiers. Two brigades, one brigade was brought to Haidong by Ma Yigong to strengthen the attack on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula; the first brigade, led by Geng Quanshan, went north and was incorporated into Fengli Camp. The most urgent thing in Huaidong at this time was to strengthen the battle on the northern front Force to deal with the Yan Hu army that will sweep in at any time.

In addition to Geng Quanshan's troops, nearly 2,000 mournful soldiers who were withdrawn from Yangxin were all incorporated into the Fengli Camp, which quickly expanded the Fengli Camp from the previous four brigades to more than 20,000 soldiers in the seven brigades.

Liu Xilin was temporarily incorporated into the Military Intelligence Department as commander and joined the army, while Yang Shi served as the deputy commander of the third water battalion in Jinghai.

Before Lin Fu went to the north to supervise the war, Yuan Guizheng came again to ask to see him.

In mid-July, Yuan Guizheng entered Chongcheng to seek Huaidong's support for the Liang family's retreat to the south, but Lin Fu categorically refused, and the meeting with the Empress Dowager Liang broke up. Afterwards, the Empress Dowager Liang went to Jiangning without the will to act, and still stayed in Chongzhou due to illness.

In just over two months, the situation had collapsed, and there was no response. The Hehuai line of defense was about to collapse, and the Liang family was also wiped out. Naturally, no one in Jiangning thought about urging the Queen Mother to return to the court.

Liang Xi was trapped in Dongping County, and Liang Chengchong had less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jining, which was not enough to relieve the siege of Dongping. Yongchang Hou Yuan, who was tied to the Liang family on a rope, returned to politics and ran back and forth to find a way to rescue Dongping from the siege. .

"Is the Queen Mother and her elderly healthy?"

In the afternoon, the chilly autumn wind swept across the treetops, and the golden-red maple leaves rustled into the courtyard. Lin Bie was in the courtyard outside the Shoujing Hall, accompanied by Gao Zongting and Ye Junan. Yuan returned to politics and first greeted Empress Dowager Liang.

Compared with the last time we met, Yuan Guizheng, who has been running back and forth as a lobbyist for the past two or three months, is even more embarrassed and haggard.

Last time, although the Yongchang Marquis Mansion was oppressed by Xie Chaozhong and other upstarts in Jiangning, after all, he still had Liang Cheng's thick thighs to hug. Today, the Liang family has also become a lost dog, and the Yongchang Marquis Mansion is even more precarious and turbulent.

"The Queen Mother's body is still reluctant, but she is thinking about the Dongping war, sleep and sleep is difficult, and she is getting thinner and thinner," Yuan Guizheng said, "I just came from Jining, and the Queen Mother asked me to ask Lin Hou Ye, when the Huaidong army will be deployed. Can you go north to help Dongping?"

"Master Hou must have gone to Guoyang to meet Master Dong. What did Master Dong think about the Hehuai war?" Lin Fu asked.

"Jiang Ning urged Dong Shilang to send troops to the north to aid Dongping. However, because of personal grudges, Dong Shilang forgot his public grievances, and he supported his troops in Guoyang without moving like a mountain. The time has been delayed for a month, but Lu Guogong pinned his last hope on Lord Lin is on him." Yuan Gui Zhengyan said sincerely.

"I can't afford Duke Lu's heavy entrustment," Lin Fu said. "If the world is good at governing the army and employing troops, Dong Shilang is not reconciled to others. When Dong Shilang decides to fight in Guoyang, he has his own considerations, so it is not simple. Forgetting public grievances for the sake of personal grievances—what personal grievances does Dong Shilang have with the Liang family? To talk about personal grievances, the Liang family and I still have some old grievances unresolved, so how can Duke Lu pin his hopes on Huaidong on the head?"

Yuan Guizheng didn't expect Lin Fu's words to be so naked/naked. Tang Haoxin's death did have a direct interest in the Liang family's plan to seek Shandong at that time. It was just a wedge machine that Lin Fu set up on his own in Huaidong, including the matter of the salt and silver to protect food. Didn't Lin Fu take advantage of Tang Haoxin's death to benefit his own family?

In addition, Tang Haoxin went on hunger strike in Qingzhou, and Emperor Yongxing, who was still King Ning who was transiting from Shandong to Jiangning, could not escape the relationship - no wonder Lin Fu still wanted to go further and talk about the Sumen case, which is a long past. ?

Yuan Guizheng couldn't guess Lin Fu's plan for a while, so he remained silent, only looking at Lin Fu with gloomy and gloomy eyes.

Lin Fu continued: "I believe that Dong Yuan's decision to attack Guoyang was not due to personal resentment... Hehuai can no longer withstand a major defeat, even if Jiang Ning's opinion is to be cautious. Lord Yuan, I am submitting a proposal to Jiangning, suggesting that the Changhuai army should withdraw directly into the Huaixi defense line, under the unified control of Dong Yuan, and organize the defense of the central line; and if the Changxianghou does not want to be in the front, he can withdraw to Nanyang, He and Qinyang Hou, who guards the River Middle House, are like lips and teeth and horns, thinking that the western front is defending..."

Yuan Guizheng was stunned for a while. After the support of the establishment, all the eyes and ears of Yongchang Houfu in Jiangning were abolished. If Lin Fu hadn't mentioned it face to face, it would have been difficult for him to know the court's motion on the Hehuai war in time, and he would not have thought of Lin Fu. Binding such a fold...

If the Changhuai Army retreats north to Huaixi and accepts Dong Yuan's restraint, a heavy army group with more than 100,000 troops will be formed directly in Huaixi. No wonder Lin Fuzhen wants Dong Yuan to be on an equal footing with him?

Looking at the hesitation in Yuan Guizheng's eyes, Lin Fu sighed softly in his heart.

Huaidong has become what it is today. If Lin Fu has no ambition in his heart, he is deceiving himself, but things are prioritized and conflicts are also prioritized.

Compared with Huaidong and Jiangning's mutual detachment and mutual sluggishness, the main contradiction that Huaidong and Jiangning face openly is to work together to block Yanhu's smashing offensive - how can there be any eggs under the nest?

If Yanhu soldiers and horses were to break through the Jianghuai line of defense, they would not even be able to keep half of the country. Huaidong and Jiangning kept going back and forth in secret and calculating each other, but they wanted to provoke jokes and hatred from future generations.

Under the current circumstances, Lin Fu was confident that he could barely hold the eastern front, so he would rather give Dong Yuan all the troops of Changhuai Army Tao Chun's troops and support Changxiang Hou Liangchengchong to retreat to Nanyang, and also jointly defend the Huaihe and Qinling fronts.

Although doing so will directly form a heavy army group with more than 100,000 troops under Dong Yuan's command, Liang Chengchong and Liang Chengyi will also be re-integrated on the western front, and from Nanyang to the south, they can develop forces in the area controlled by Luo Xiancheng. But at least half of the Southern Dynasties can be supported first.

However, for Lin Fu's three-line defense plan to be successfully implemented, there is a premise that they should ignore Yan Hu's plan to encircle the points and give up to Liang Xi's troops trapped in Dongping, and temporarily give up the scorched soil in northern Henan, which has been crippled. Yan Hu...

Yuan Guizheng came here to try his best to persuade Lin Fu to send troops to relieve the siege of Dongping, but Lin Fu in turn asked Yuan Guizheng to persuade Liang Chengchong to give up his father and Dongping.

Yuan Guizheng was stunned for a moment, the understanding and thinking of the two sides were very different, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Abandoning Dongping, Liang Chengchong led the remnants to move west to Nanyang. Yuan Guizheng could not make a decision on this matter. Yuan Guizheng sat for a while before leaving.

Lin Fuli sent Yuan Guizheng out of Shoujingtang, and returned to the East Yap Hall with Gao Zongting and Ye Junan.

Ye Junan said as he walked, "From the past to the present, filial piety is the first, Liang Chengchong is afraid that he will not dare to take the charge of abandoning his father to save his life?"

Gao Zongting smiled lightly and said, "Isn't it rare for brothers to fight for power and power in the past and present? What's more, Liang Chengchong and the Empress Dowager Liang are the shields. As long as it is within the Liang family, the decision to give up Dongping comes from Empress Dowager Liang instead of Liang Chengchong, Liang Chengchong would not be so difficult to be a man! Of course, this will inevitably lead to the breakup of Liang Chengchong and Liang Chengyi brothers, and the western front still cannot be twisted into one, hugged together... Relatively speaking, Liang Chengchong withdrew to Nanyang, It is still located inside Liang Chengyi's shelter, and the conflict with Luo Xiancheng is inevitable."

Ye Junan is also more observant of Confucian rituals, and his calculations are not as deep as Gao Zongting.

Regarding the discussion between Ye Junan and Gao Zongting, Lin Fu was noncommittal. He just walked and looked at the yellow leaves in the courtyard. Winter is here again. Except for the Huai River, the rivers north of the Huai River will soon be severely frozen. You have to get through it before you can see the dawn of victory.

Ye Junan thought of a question and asked, "Dong Yuan left Huaixi, and he left all his troops and horses in northern Zhejiang to Meng Yishan. Did he anticipate the situation today?"

Lin Fu stopped and looked at Gao Zongting.

No one knows Chen Zhihu and Dong Yuan better than Gao Zongting. Gao Zongting and Dong Yuan have known and worked together for more than ten years. If Huaidong wants to accurately judge Dong Yuan's motives, there is no one other than Gao Zongting.

Gao Zongting said: "After Dong Yuan sent his troops north to Guoyang, he would not be able to advance. Guoyang is still three or four hundred miles away from Jining, so naturally there is no way to contain the main enemy forces encircling Dongpingwei. But we can't complain. Dong Yuan did not move, and it was less than three months before Dong Yuan left the town of Huaixi. In addition, as Mr. Jun An said, Dong Yuan left almost all of the northern Zhejiang army he brought out from Hangzhou to Meng Yishan, and led the north to go out. The town of Huaixi is the Imperial Battalion Army, which was adapted from the Jiangning Guard Army. In addition to Xiao Kuian's troops, Dong Yuan's 30,000 soldiers and horses assembled in Guoyang at this time are far from elite. The terrain is flat. On the broad Hehuai Plain, Yanhu had assembled more than 100,000 troops on the outskirts of Dongping, including more than 40,000 elite cavalry. Who was confident enough to lead 30,000 to 50,000 infantrymen? Dong Yuan will be excused by 'a clever woman is difficult to cook without rice' - in this situation, to avoid a rash decisive battle and lead to a larger-scale loss of troops ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Withdrawing the Changhuai Army and filling it into the center line is the next step. The normal way of thinking... Of course, with the vision of the emperor and Chen Xiyan and others, the Changhuai army was withdrawn into Huaixi and put under the jurisdiction of Dong Yuan, and he was not afraid of Dong Yuan's ability to support his troops. Dong Yuan could see the reality of this step. Not surprising..."

The first and foremost point of being able to have troops and self-respect is whether there are enough relatives and generals to control the army. Obviously, after the Changhuai Army withdrew into Huaixi, even if a heavy army group with more than 100,000 troops was formed in Huaixi, due to the complicated source of the generals of the entire army, almost all of them were not direct descendants of Dong Yuan. It is impossible - in this case, the Wu Party forces such as Emperor Yongxing and Chen Xiyan will also support Dong Yuan more assuredly to lead the Huaixi army.

Lin Fu touched his chin, looked at the yellow leaves in the courtyard, and said, "Zong Ting's words are not finished yet, Dong Yuan also takes into account the development of the situation on the southern front..."

After giving Lin Bie a little wake up, Ye Junan immediately wanted to understand, patted his thigh and said, "It's a good plan! Shemin's decline on the eastern front has already become a reality, our army or the army in northern Zhejiang can retake Fuyang, northern Zhejiang and Suhu as long as it can be recaptured. The plains will become a relatively safe interior line again, and Meng Yishan's troops can be mobilized to go north to support the war against Yanhu, which is also the meaning of the title. At this time, Dong Yuan gave up the northern Zhejiang army before going north to Huaixi. The direct line will return to his grasp again - at this stage, it will be possible for Dong Yuan to digest Huaixi soldiers and horses as his own. Dong Yuan is really a good man and a good planner!"

Gao Zongting said with a wry smile: "Even if he knows that he may have such a plan, at the moment Huaidong can only support the Changhuai Army's withdrawal to Huaixi..."

Lin Bie smiled lightly and said, "Since ancient times, there have been many people who have arisen in troubled times, and many people have succeeded because of the situation, but how many people can achieve things through conspiracy alone?"
