The Founding of the Red Chamber

This time the battle going south was due to Duan Tianyu's famous generals, but Lin Jing, Tu Xiaosan, and even General Lu were also famous generals in this world.Even from what Tu Xiaosi said, General Bai, who once rumored that Lin Jing was delicate, was extremely ferocious in battle.

The first large-scale battle took place in Xiangyang, and even Duan Tianyu was in Xiangyang City. The war lasted from March to June, and Duan Tianyu had no choice but to retreat.

Chen Qibao was overjoyed when he received the battle report of Xiangyang's victory, and ordered the cabinet to discuss meritorious service and reward the three armies.

At this time, it was Lin Jing, and Chen Qibao had no tricks, and gave Lin Jing the false title of General.The army took advantage of the victory and pursued them all the way to Jingzhou. Duan Tianyu fought and retreated, and finally abandoned Jingzhou altogether and went south by boat.Now, even if the army wanted to chase him, they would be unable to chase him, without him, without a boat!

Lin Jing said, "It seems that Duan Tianyu intends to take advantage of the natural danger of the Yangtze River and occupy half of the south of the Yangtze River."

Lu Qing also agreed with Lin Jing's point of view. The key point now is that if there is a water battle, there will be no boats available for a while, and there is no way out. The army will have to garrison in Jingzhou.

If the court wanted water warfare, it had to start with shipbuilding.Lu Qing and Lin Jing discussed the battle in the south of the Yangtze River. Lin Jing said, "At the moment, there are no ships. Second, we don't know the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River has been defended, so Zongduan Tianyu will occupy the south of the Yangtze River, but the north of the Yangtze River still belongs to the imperial court."

Lin Jing walked to the topographic map of the south of the Yangtze River and pointed to the topographic map, "From the upper reaches, the upper reaches guard Yiling. The mountains and rivers here are steep, and water warfare is not convenient, but this is the most important strategic place in the upper reaches. Guard Yiling, It also held the middle of Shu. The middle reaches are the generation of Hanshui, Xiangyang and Jingzhou. From these two places, you can go to Chang'an, Luoyang, and then to the imperial capital in the north to transport grain and grass. This is the line, and you can go directly to Jianghan in the south. Moreover, in the future, the training of the navy and the organization of food and grass will all be in the Jianghan Plain. The lower reaches are the area around the Huai River. According to the military strategy, the Huai River must be defended first. Convenient location."

"That's why, at the moment, the defenders will first defend the two areas of Xiangjing and Jing, and then move along the Yangtze River and divide the troops into two groups, one to Yiling and the other to Lianghuai." Lin Jing said, "I don't think this is a good battle. After all, even if the ship is built, it will take a few years to grind.”

"Ah Jing is worthy of being born in the general family." Lu Qing praised, "This is talking about the big picture, but when talking about the details, Ah Jing has thought about it?"

"It's nothing more than looking for news about the south of the Yangtze River. I think the general has made arrangements for this. There is one matter that I have always wanted to confront the general, hoping that the court will punish the King of Jinling in writing." Seeing Lu Qing's distressed face, Lin Jing said , "General, don't worry about whether the King of Jinling is wronged or not. The court has not made a clear statement. Should the Jiangnan area obey the King of Jinling's order? Moreover, there is no clear statement about the King of Jinling. Those officials in the south of the Yangtze River What kind of statement is it? No way, some of them follow the rebellion in a daze."

Lu Qing said seriously, "I will definitely report this matter to the court."

"Don't ask the court to come up with an accurate statement!" Lin Jing said, "Even if the King of Jinling was forced by the rebels, if he really had integrity, he would have died by himself! He's not going to die!"

Lu Qing was quite speechless to Lin Jing's words, Lu Qing said, "Ah Jing, I heard that sister Ling..."

"My father died in battle in the Muzhou Mansion. If he was willing to surrender the barbarians, he must have survived. Our family has the blood of my father. Even if I lose to the rebels, I would rather die I won't surrender." Lin Jing was quite righteous, but in this matter, Lu Qing believed that Lin Jing had such blood.Don't look at Lin Jing who looks a bit delicate on weekdays, but in fact he is quite tricky, definitely the ruthless one among ruthless people.Such a ruthless person is not only able to deal with others, but also with himself.

Lu Qing said, "Don't say that, our generation is getting old, and what the court will do in the future depends on you."

Lin Jing waved his hand, "Major General, let's take this opportunity to increase our troops. We have lost a lot of troops in the past six months."

Lu Qing smiled, "A Jing, you can see through everything I think."

Lin Jing smiled, "Now is a good time. I don't know how many people want to go south to earn military merits."

Lu Qing said, "To replenish the source of troops, first replenish the soldiers outside the pass."

Lin Jing said hastily, "Naturally, the Imperial Capital Army should be the first."

"Don't argue with me about this." Lu Qing smiled, "I also have plans."

"Ah Jing, you grew up in the imperial capital, and I won't hide it from you. The imperial capital has always been in a complicated situation. What's more, we even received generous rewards from His Majesty for the two cities of Kexiang and Jing. Those who went south with us were all in the imperial capital. They are gaining power. The situation of suppressing bandits is very good now, and the next ones are mostly teenagers. My old face, there are times when I can’t get rid of it. I will make up for the foreign army first, and I also want to use Ah Jing to kill these gangsters People have trained themselves to prepare for the retake of Jiangnan in the future." Lu Qing always cited Lin Jing as his confidant, and naturally he had his own considerations, one is that Lin Jing is a person who can discuss military strategies; the other is that in his army, he is Don't be such a bad face.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I have always had a bad reputation." Lin Jing said, "Since my lord has such a plan, I will not be disrespectful. Another thing, I have to tell my lord first, I don't care about humanity."

"What I want is that you don't care about humanity."

Lin Jing turned back to discuss the matter with Tu Xiaosan, and Tu Xiaosan said, "It seems that those who have backers and those who are hard to talk about will all be assigned to us."

Lin Jing said, "This time, most of them are of this kind. To tell you the truth, I'm afraid there are no backers. No matter how the general divides up, there are not many good ones for him to keep. They are nothing more than borrowing our name. Let’s start with a shock, let’s set up the rules first, and it will be easy for him.”

"I don't think General Lu seems to be a fearful person."

"General Lu is not afraid of things, he can't offend those people in the court too much. After all, he is not the imperial capital right now, who knows what the rules of the imperial court are."

Tu Xiaosan said, "With an identity like a general, you must be careful of Ruosi."

"Yes."

However, General Lu really made his promise, saying that the troops outside the pass would be replenished first, that is, the troops outside the pass should be replenished first. Lin Jing soon received reinforcements from the imperial capital, and the whole army also saw Lin Jing's methods of managing troops. !
