Prison Island is only five or six hundred steps away from the river bank. Dongyang is anchored near the northeastern side of Prison Island. The moonlight is still good, and you can see the blurry shadow of Dongyang while standing on the shore.
The young counselor named "Zi Tan" next to Du Rong and She Feihu stood on the embankment on the east side of the Jinchuan River in black clothes, looking up at the Dongyang ship parked in the northeast of the prison island. At dawn, he quietly withdrew and kept sneaking.
When they arrived in the north of Quyang Town, someone brought horses, and they rode fast horses to Qingfeng's manor in Longzangpu, south of the city.
Neither She Feihu nor Song Jia slept, waiting for Du Rong and Zi Tan to come back.
"Lin Fu is definitely not a man of faith," Du Rong said with a frown, "The Dongyang ship was too fast, and the secret sentry we sent out lost track of the Dongyang ship before it reached Hailing Mansion. What is certain now is that the Dongyang ship
The ship was only anchored outside the Chongzhou River for one day, and its whereabouts were undetermined for three days. At this time, the Dongyang returned to Jiangning. It did not return directly to Jiang'an Wharf, but stopped outside Prison Island to unload cargo. I don't know what they were doing..."
She Feihu had a gloomy face and remained silent. Ever since Lin Fu openly took in assassins who were unfavorable to him, he knew that Lin Fu was by no means a good man or woman. Who is a good man and woman with a little power these days? After being released from prison, Lin Fu will go to prison.
The island's management is so impregnable that outsiders cannot see through the reality of Prison Island.
"Zitan, what do you think?" Song Jia's face was beautiful under the candle, and the summer night was scorching. She was wearing light clothes, and her exposed skin was as bright as snow. She asked the young counselor with a slight frown on her eyebrows.
"It's okay if he's not a good man, but his methods should not be underestimated." Zi Tan sat down, glanced at Song Jia, then turned to the candlelight, and said slowly, "There are some doubts about the Luoyang Lake water battle.
, First, when Qin Chengbo was about to ambush, the warning beacon suddenly burned out, forcing Liu An'er's troops to launch an attack in advance, and the deployment was a lot of chaos. Afterwards, reconnaissance showed traces of fires at the southern foot of Qingyanggang.
Someone must have planned it deliberately. Secondly, the officials of Dongyang took the initiative to escort Qin Chengbo into Luoyang Lake, and it has been found that it was Lin Fu who initiated it. In the water battle at Luoyang Lake, the Dongyang ship can be said to have escaped unscathed, and Qin Chengbo
Although he died, Lin Fu's rescue efforts could not be lost. According to the express report from Yanjing, the imperial court sent a special order to Jiangning to commend him. The honor was comparable to that of Dong Yuan's Shou Xianxia. Thirdly, Liu Miaozhen, a girl in red coat, led the way.
Although the troops successfully attacked and killed the Shanglinli Township Camp, the North Bank's rapid response prevented Liu Miaozhen's troops from attacking the Lin family's mansion in time, so Lin Fu responded in time. Subsequently, the Lin family's withdrawal from Shanglinli was also extremely fast and effective. Liu An'er led
We only rested at Luoyang Lake for half a day, and we didn’t have time to leave Lin Fu in Shanglin..."
"The person who dares to play with the three forces of the Qin family, Hongzepu Water Village, and Dongyang officials and gentry can no longer be described as 'not to be taken lightly'. However, so many doubts focused on Lin Fu cannot be revealed.
"Song Jia sighed softly, "It seems that the kidnapping of Qu Wuyang's only son must have been secretly carried out by Lin Fu..."
"It should be that the place where the Qu family paid the ransom money and disappeared inexplicably was just outside the mouth of Jinchuan River. Although I don't know what tricks they did, they are the only ones who have the conditions to do it secretly." Zi Tan said.
"Did the news be revealed to the Qu family secretly?" She Feihu asked, "The Qu family will definitely not bear this tone."
"It is good to kill with a borrowed knife, but there is no need to inform the Qu family specifically," Song Jia said. "In the past, the Qu family would ignore the most obvious doubts, but they did not realize Lin Fu's hidden strength. Lin Fu sent the Dongyang general Qin family
, the rescue of Luoyang Lake by the Dongyang officials has been known to everyone in Jiangning. If Qu Wuyang still doesn’t understand that he has misjudged the situation, he has really lived in vain for so many years.”
She Feihu was a little embarrassed, after all, calculations and strategies were not what he was good at.
"The troublesome thing right now is that after the Lin family withdrew to Hekou, Lin Fu has become more powerful in Hekou, and he has Gu Wuchen as his backer," Du Rong said with a painful expression, "Whether it's coming openly or secretly, the Qu family
It’s hard to get rid of it without leaving any consequences.” Not to mention the Qu family, their power in Jiangning is also very limited and is no longer enough to pose a suppressive threat to Lin Fu. Moreover, they have given Li Zhuo and other several big players in Jiangning
The crocodile stared, unable to act rashly.
"It's really unexpected that the Dongyang can retreat from Luoyang Lake. Zitan, do you think we need to transfer a few ships from Changguo to be sure?" She Feihu asked. At this time, he realized that Lin Fu could not conquer many people.
It may become a threat to the She family in the future, and he wants to solve this problem violently.
"When we transfer ships from Chang State, it will be difficult for us to find fighters calmly, unless we directly attack the mouth of the river." Zitan did not directly deny the possibility of a violent solution, analyzing, "Lin Jiayong had nearly 300 people at the mouth of the river, and the guards were guarding the river.
Nearly two hundred people, this is the manpower that Lin Fu can mobilize at the mouth of the river. In addition to the Dongyang, Jiyunshe will also get two large ships from the Longjiang Shipyard in the near future. Judging from the Luoyang Lake water battle, Lin Fu's men should
There are people who are familiar with water warfare. Considering the efficiency of Jiangning's water camp dispatch, the time left for us to take action is very limited. We must attack Lin Fu's forces at the mouth of the river as much as possible within the limited time. Changguo will send five large ships
, only with a thousand elite combat forces rushing forward can we have greater confidence, and we must attack the enemy unprepared..."
"..." She Feihu took a breath. Judging from Lin Fu's performance in the water battle in Luoyang Lake, what Zitan said was not an exaggeration. Who would have thought that a character who was so inconspicuous in Jiangning half a year ago could actually
So tricky?
It was not difficult to transfer five large ships from the state of Chang and more than a thousand elite troops to attack Jiangning. The five ships quickly entered the Yangtze River carrying more than a thousand combat forces, set sail and attacked Jiangning, and then turned back. In order to prevent the warships from Jiangning Water Camp and Ninghai Zhenshui Camp from getting entangled
On the Yangtze River, the most critical point is that the ship cannot be delayed or detained at all on the way. In this way, the timing of the ship's arrival in Jiangning will be difficult to control. Since sea-going ships are very different from the large cannon ships commonly seen in the Yangtze River, it is difficult to effectively camouflage them.
If the ship arrives at Jiangning during the day, with Lin Fu's arrangement at the mouth of the river, it is possible for the ship to be detected when it enters the waters twenty miles away from Prison Island. Then it will not be able to achieve the effect of catching the ship off guard and taking it by surprise, and it may even be the other way around.
They were entangled with Lin Fu's private armed warships and waited for the Jiangning water camp to come over to encircle and annihilate them.
"If a sea ship attacks Jiangning, if Uncle Qin Cheng is here, it may take two hours before a war ship is sent to help. Now that Li Zhuo is in charge of Jiangning's armaments, it is difficult to predict the time when Jiangning's water camp will go to war," Song Jia retorted,
"If it's going to be so complicated, it's better to send dead soldiers to kill directly at the mouth of the river at night!"
It is even more impossible to send dead soldiers. The possibility of success with three or five dead soldiers is too low. With more people, it is difficult to keep the operation secret. Furthermore, She Feihu does not have that many dead soldiers at his disposal.
"There are still other opportunities," Zi Tan said, "The relationship between Lin Fu and Qu Wuyang is not just about killing their sons and grabbing silver. Lin Fu built a town at the mouth of the river, which is a threat to Quyang Town, so Qu Wuyang
It is possible to mobilize all the strength of the Qu family to deal with Hekou. In addition to the personal grudge of killing his son to seize the silver, the Qu family and Lin Fu also have a deeper and sharp conflict..."
"What's the contradiction?" She Feihu asked.
"News came from Yanjing that Chen Xiyan is going to be appointed as prime minister today. However, if Chen Xiyan wants to be prime minister, he must first clear the resistance set by the party. Zhang Xie and Tang Haoxin are not easy people to deal with. The recent relationship between the two factions
There must be a dispute," Zi Tan analyzed calmly, "Chen Xiyan lived in seclusion to photograph Shanxi Creek, and Gu Wuchen was still the spokesperson of the Chu Party in Jiangning. On the surface, there was no contact between the two, but in reality it was not the case. If Qu Wuyang were not Chen Xiyan's cousin-in-law, Chen Xiyan would have
Why did he choose to live in seclusion and photograph Shanxi Creek after he became an official? I guess that the massacre of the refugees at the mouth of the river was caused by Chen Xiyan using the Qu family to stab Gu Wuchen, the upstart of the Chu Party. At that time, Chen Xiyan had the intention of seeking power, but at the beginning, no one
Ignore Lin Fu. After the Hekou refugee tragedy was solved by Lin Fu brilliantly, especially after Qu Wuyang's only son disappeared, Chen Xiyan and the Qu family were forced to choose to endure."
"Although you are forbearing, it will definitely happen?" Song Jia asked softly.
"Yes," Zi Tan asserted, "when it comes to the phase dispute, Lin Fu is just a poor pawn who can be sacrificed at any time. Gu Wuchen is the weakness of the Chu party and is close to Chen Xiyan; Lin Fu is Gu Wuchen's weakness.
Don't expect Lin Fu to be powerful in the river mouth, but there are too many doubts. It's just that others can't catch his sore feet. At this time, Gu Wuchen is supervising the battle in Dongyang. If he can lift the lid of the river mouth at lightning speed, Gu Wuchen will be able to cover his head even if he wants to.
No, I think as long as there is an opportunity, Chen Xiyan will definitely use the Qu family to attack Hekou again, forcefully lift the lid of Hekou, expose the many secrets hidden in Hekou to the world, force Gu Wuchen to withdraw from Jiangning, and attack the Chu Party."
"Jiang Ning hopes that there will not be a few people who can bring down Gu Wuchen," Du Rong nodded, "Chen Xiyan may indeed take action..."
"What should we do, or sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" She Feihu asked, "If the Qu family fails, won't it mean that Lin Fu will be further entrenched in Jiangning's foundation?"
"We can no longer sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers this time. We should secretly wait for an opportunity to stab him hard." Du Rong said sinisterly.
"It should be like this. If we are waiting for an opportunity secretly, there is no need for Changguo to send large ships and a large number of people. A few ebony wooden ships can hide hundreds of elites disguised as cargo ships and park nearby to wait for opportunities to rob them. Regardless of whether they succeed or not, these people will follow the river afterwards.
"And we are going to withdraw from the Yangtze River," Zi Tan added: "In addition, in April, the Emperor Chunwei personally selected Chen Mingzhe, Chen Xiyan's disciple, as the top one on the gold list. Jiangning people regarded Chen Mingzhe and the singer Su Mei as 'talented scholars and beauties'.
Model, Lin Fuke and Su Mei have an extraordinary closeness! There is also something to be done here."
"Hmph, let's put it this way, Gu Wuchen still has this inextricable relationship with us." Song Jia snorted lightly and looked at She Feihu with her beautiful eyes.
She Feihu touched his nose in embarrassment. They even suspected Lin Fu. Su Mei already knew that he was the real culprit behind the robbery in Baisha County, but he would not worry about this. He has not won over Lin Fu now.
thoughts.
Zi Tan didn't dare to talk about the matter between the Young Marquis and his wife. He continued to analyze: "Apart from these two, I think it is not impossible for Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen to separate? Lin Fu has just established his power. Once he becomes...
If he loses Gu Wuchen's trust, he won't be able to achieve anything."
"How to separate? When I look at Gu Wuchen, I wish I could marry my daughter to Lin Fu!" She Feihu asked.
Gu Wuchen was able to gain a foothold in Jiangning because of Lin Fu's great contributions. Gu Wuchen was not an idiot. Even if Lin Fu cultivated his own power, he would never pose any threat to Gu Wuchen. How could he let him cut off his arm?
"Aren't you not married?" Zi Tan chuckled and said, "The Young Marquis said that Gu Wuchen should be eager to marry his daughter to Lin Fu. According to me, Gu Wuchen's daughter is seventeen years old and has good looks and character.
, but you haven’t promised anyone else yet, and you haven’t promised Lin Fu yet. Don’t you think it’s a little strange, the Young Marquis?”
"What's weird?" She Feihu asked.
