Lord of the House

The 40,000 elites of the Huaidong Army entered Linzhou, and they were only a hundred miles away from Shouzhang. Linzhou (now Juye) and Shouzhang (now Liangshan) were both on the west bank of Juye Jersey. For a time, the land on the west bank of Juye Jersey was at war with swords. momentum.

Snow covered the world, the four fields were vast, dozens of fast horses surrounded an unpretentious carriage, galloping into Shouzhang City as fast as a meteor.

Yanjing had a decree to send a birthday card, and He Xiongqi went from the tent to the Xingyuan who was summoned to Ye Jiduodi.

Returning from Xuzhou, although the remnants of Zhou Zhizhong finally escaped and returned four or five thousand people, but Xuzhou did not get the Chen Han Sansuo, which could be used as a forerunner of the Southern Expedition, to annihilate and Zhou Zhizhong's army about 15,000 people. More than a thousand people were annihilated and could not return to the north. No matter how you explained it, it was a terrible defeat.

Not to mention that He Xiongqi and Zhou Zhizhong, Ye Jiduodi also wrote to Yanjing to plead guilty, and only ten days later, a decree came from Yanjing.

Na Hexiongqi knew that Xuzhou was defeated, and all the generals from the three princes and the following could not escape the guilt, but he was also worried that Yanjing would change the coach at this time - the battle of Shouzhang was about to break out, and the prince Ye Ji, the prince of Qinyang, was bound to be launched. Luo Rong's elite cavalry was transferred to participate, so that Ye Ji Luo Rong replaced Ye Jiduo as the commander. Continue on.

Na Hexiongqi walked into Ye Jiduodi's house with such concerns. Yuan Lishan and Zhou Zhizhong came over ahead of him and came from Yanjing to pass the decree. Vice-Chancellor Fan Lan.

Seeing Fan Lan coming over, He Xiongqi was taken aback. Could it be that he really wanted the Prince to be handsome?

"This is the handwriting of King Khan, Nahe, come and see!" Ye Jiduo sat in the middle of the Mingtang, talking to Fan Lan, when he saw that Hexiongqi came over, he put the table on the table. The imperial edict was handed to him.

The Beiyan national system was founded, and he was born in the north, so there were no rules. He Xiongqi took the handwritten letter from Ye Jier from Yanjing and stood in front of the hall to read it. The more he read, the more puzzled he became, and he asked Ye Jiduo Dy: "King Khan wants us to wait and see?"

"The emperor thought that the Southern Dynasty was pretending to be arrogant, and the generals of the Southern Expedition must encircle Shidongping and stick to Shouzhang, so as not to allow the Southern Dynasty to take advantage of it, and not to allow the Liang family to break through," Ye Jier wrote in his handwriting. The specific meaning needs to be explained by Fan Lan to the Nanzheng generals one by one, "The defeat of Xuzhou, the Nanzheng army is indeed a lack of caution, but the emperor said that caution is not too much. The three princes are the two counties of Shandong and Henan. The governor-general, a certain envoy to the two counties of Shandong and Henan, and General Yuan also served as Tai'an and Jining. After the war, General Nahe led his troops eastward, and also knew Qingzhou and Dengzhou. General Zhou followed General Nahe to Qingzhou, and also I want General Nahe to train sailors in Dengzhou..."

"Ah!" That He Xiongqi was stunned there, Ye Jiduo was not punished, and he also served as the governor of Shandong and Henan counties, which is not too surprising. After all, if Ye Jiduo was severely punished at this time, it would make The generals have become aggressive, which will be detrimental to future wars, but if Xuzhou is frustrated, Shandong and Henan will turn the offensive into the defensive. This is too unexpected for Hexiongqi.

Fan Lan said: "Luxi and Henan are broken, and it is not easy to raise food. This is also the fundamental reason why Huaidong dares to advance to Linzhou. The southern expedition for food can last for a while now, but the next spring drought will be difficult, and after Dongping is resolved, the army will Go back to rest anyway..."

That Hexiongqi fell into silence, and they had their credit for the ruins in the northwest of Lu, but after a few years, they should have recuperated, but after the army moved south, the ruins of Luxi and Henan were unexpected.

After they entered Yanji and Jinzhong, although the people were impoverished, they were able to order large households to pay grain to supplement their military resources; while in Luxi and Henan, not to mention ordinary people, many gentry and country tycoons also fled their land: their houses were dilapidated. , The land is barren, and there is no one in ten, but there is really a scene of "the bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster in a thousand miles".

It was Shouzhang City. When they came to capture it, there were only more than a hundred soldiers and more than 300 households in the city. They wanted to collect grain on the spot to supplement the army, but they could not. The grass and fodder need to be transferred from Jinan.

The land is frozen, and it cannot be transported by waterway.

Moreover, Xuzhou has already fallen into the hands of Huaidong, and the defense line of Huaisi is complete, and Huaidong has tens of thousands of elites stationed, and it is difficult to fall suddenly. It is far better to adjust the situation at this time and take the initiative in the preparation of attacking Yanji and Ludong Coast at any time, rather than turning the offensive into the defensive.

Ye Jier dispatched Fan Lan to serve as Ye Jiduodi as his deputy to preside over the civil affairs of Shandong and Henan.

Then He Xiongqi asked again, "I'm going to the east, where will Chen Zhihu be transferred?"

In the battles of Qingzhou and Dengzhou, although Chen Zhihu had his flaws, he had to say that his achievements were far greater than his faults. Yuan Lishan also served as both Tai'an and Jining. Although Chen Zhihu had few troops, his status should not be lower than Yuan Lishan's.

Fan Lan said: "When the fighting here stops for a while, after General Nahe goes to Dengzhou, he will send Chen Zhihu into Henan. If the Changhuai Army does not retreat, he will use Chen Zhihu to fight the Changhuai Army. If the Changhuai Army retreats, Liang Chengchong is very likely. Withdrawal to the west, relying on Liang Chengyi for life, then use Chen Zhihu to beat the Liang brothers and Huaixi..."

"Li Zhuo is in the East Fujian army, Dong Yuan and Chen Zhihu have the reputation of shield and spear, we can see whether Dong Yuan's shield is thick or Chen Zhihu's spear is sharp." Ye Jiduo said with a smile.

Although it is best to be able to pierce the Hehuai line of defense in one go, if you can't go all out, most of Shandong and a small part of Henan have been captured in the past six months, the Qingzhou army has been wiped out, and the Liang family has been crippled, which is also a great achievement. Too much and indigestion, and even throw away the fruits of victory over the past six months.

"No matter what, Liang Xi cannot be allowed to escape from Dongping!" Yuan Lishan said.

Liang Xi couldn't escape. Even if the brothers Liang Chengchong and Liang Chengyi could still support each other, they were two families after all, and their strengths were divided and weak. If Liang Xi was allowed to escape, the Liang family would be able to unite under Liang Xi, and if the Liang family were to retreat south with the Changhuai army, it would still be a headache.

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

The northern and southern dynasties fought at Shouzhang and Linzhou for more than ten days, and the Changhuai army suddenly withdrew from Daliang and returned to the south. Ye Jiduo divided his troops to occupy the main beam, but he had no intention of pursuing them. He let Changhuai's army retreat south, and Yanhu's troops in southern Jin also did not move.

At this point, the people who had been confused by the tense situation on the west bank of Juye Jersey suddenly understood that neither the northern nor the southern dynasties had the determination to fight hastily at this time.

Yuan Guizheng stood at the head of the ruined city of Linzhou, looking at the vast snow field to the north, with an uncontrollable sadness in his heart.

He originally accepted the cruel reality of abandoning Dongping, but after the victory of Xuzhou, Lin Fu brazenly led 40,000 elites northward, making him mistakenly think that the siege of Dongping could be solved. At this time, I realized that all this was just a show for the world to see.

The siege of Dongping was resolved, Liang Xi did not die or surrender, and the Liang family could unite under Liang Xi and compete with other forces; at this time, although the brothers Liang Chengchong and Liang Chengyi were preserved, Liang Chengyi was guarding the Hezhong Mansion, and both Huaidong and Jiangning agreed with Liang Chengchong. After withdrawing to Nanyang in the west, can the Liang family escape the ending of playing with others?

"Master Hou is still enjoying the scenery at the top of the city!"

Yuan Guizheng turned his head and saw Gao Zongting on the top of the city. He smiled bitterly and said, "Does Master Gao think I am in this mood?" He asked again, "The Changhuai Army has withdrawn without authorization, when will the Huaidong Army withdraw? ?"

"Changhuai Army has a large number of people returning south, and the speed can't be fast. We have to stay in Linzhou for two more days. If we withdraw, Caozhou's flank will be exposed, and we need Liang Houye to make a decision in Caozhou. Only after that can we finally decide to withdraw our troops from Linzhou and return to the north," said Gao Zongting~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Mr. Liu should be able to come from Caozhou tonight..."

Yuan Guizheng had an indescribable hatred for Gao Zongting's calmness.

The Changhuai Army withdrew first. If they did not fight Shouzhang, the Huaidong Army would have no responsibility. At this time, Liang Chengchong was forced to withdraw first, and the charge of not saving Dongping was placed on Liang Chengchong's head. Cheap.

Thinking of this, Yuan Guizheng couldn't help but say aloud, "Huaidong really took advantage of it this time."

Gao Zongting opened his eyes to Yuan Guizheng, thinking that he couldn't help but speak ill of him, and said in a retort, "Compared to Sheji, how much is the safety of Duke Lu alone? The conscription horses are restrained in Shouzhang and unable to move, so that the Changhuai Army and Liang Chengchong's troops can withdraw safely, so as to preserve their strength for the sake of the society and the imperial court, which advantage will Huaidong take?"

Yuan Guizheng was speechless at Gao Zongting's retort, but Gao Zongting still refused to let him go, saying: "You know that this battle won't start, you know how many ministers in the imperial court, how many of you do not know? The main force of the army and horses is holding Shou Zhang, and the Duke of Lu does not think about breaking through in Dongping, who can complain?"

After breaking up with Yuan Guizheng, Gao Zongting returned to Xingyuan in Linzhou. Seeing Ye Junan who had just left Xingyuan to rest at the post house, he also came here. Gao Zongting asked, "What happened?"

"The news just came from the south, and the She family ignored our plan to delay the troops. The troops and horses in Fuyang and Linshui have been advancing westward in batches in the past few days. It seems that they are determined to turn around and attack the western front." Ye Junan said.

"It's not just the issue of the Western Front, it seems that the luxury family will decisively give up Fuyang..." Gao Zongting said.

"Give up Fuyang?" Ye Junan was quite surprised and said, "In the beginning, for Fuyang, the luxury family filled so many lives, can you really give up at this time?" My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
