The autumn moon was cool, and after sending Yang Pu away, it was still early in the sky. Lin Fu sat in front of the window, reading a collection of news from all over the country by the flickering candlelight.
The power of the Donghu people continued to expand north of Yanshan, and the border walls of Datong Mansion and other places at the northwest foot of Yanshan were repeatedly attacked by Donghu cavalry.
The imperial court transferred Chen Zhihu and other troops from the former Eastern Fujian Army, who were in Zhongzhou, Jin and other places to the northern front, to strengthen the defense of Datong, Xuanhua and other places. In mid-August, Chen Zhihu replaced the original guard general and was given the title of Captain of Light Vehicles.
, served as General of Datong.
At this point, after the disastrous defeat at Chentangyi, the empire redeployed nearly 200,000 troops in the strategic military towns of Jizhou, Xuanhua, and Datong on the Yanshan line. However, whether it can defend the Donghu people remains to be seen. The test of time.
Banditry in Zhongzhou, Jinzhong, Xiqin and other places has calmed down a bit, but Jiangxi, Lianghu and other places were hit by severe floods in summer, the refugees were crowded, and the government mishandled the situation, resulting in chaos. The names of bandit leaders such as Luo Xiancheng and Gong Yucai appeared frequently.
Above Tangchao, internal troubles became increasingly serious.
It is useless for Lin Fu to care about things that are too far away. He is more concerned about gathering the movements of Liu An'er's troops on the Sizhou front line. Even after the East China Sea bandits withdraw from the sea and the eastern front is temporarily stabilized, the defense along Hongzepu is still very fragile, especially in the western front defense area.
Recently, in Changhuai Town, the core of the city, there has been a bad incident in which officers and soldiers were overpaying and were forcibly suppressed.
Looking through the Tongzhi from various places, except for the official articles praising virtues, he could hardly find any comforting news. Lin Fu pushed the large stack of Tongzhi to the corner of the table in boredom, thinking that out of sight, out of mind. Liu Yue'er left.
When I came in, I saw his frowning expression and said, "I told you not to be too busy, but you didn't listen. You were upset after reading the pond copy. How can you calm down and recuperate?"
"Even if you bury your head in the sand, these problems don't exist." Lin Fu took Liu Yue'er's smooth and gentle hand and asked her to sit on him. Liu Yue'er was afraid of pressing his injured leg and getting hurt.
She sat on the edge of the soft couch with his thighs close to each other.
Lin Fu gently pinched Liu Yue'er's cheek with his fingers. The skin was very smooth and extremely delicate, with a faint fragrance reaching his nose. His slightly charming eyes were like a clear spring under the moon, attracting people and able to
It can temporarily relieve people from annoying trivial matters.
"What do you want to do? Mr. Wu said, you can't move your legs." Liu Yue'er struggled with shame, her limp body seemed to be rubbing against Lin Fu's arms, trying to stop Lin Fu's hand.
Reach into the lapel of your clothes.
Lin Fu put his hand into Liu Yue'er's arms, and pressed it on her firm, plump, and soft breasts through the silk bellyband. The silk fabric was smooth and thin. Lin Fu rubbed his fingers twice, and the cherry pieces fell into place.
Standing up, Liu Yue'er, as docile as a sheep, leaned in Lin Fu's arms and her breathing gradually became rapid. Her body felt hot and soft, but she still insisted: "You can't move your body..."
Lin Fu's foot injury was really serious and he couldn't move around. He was thinking about how to persuade the traditional and conservative Liu Yue'er to ride on him and do that. Xiaoman pushed the door open and came in, staring at Liu Yue'er's chest for a moment.
The place where Lin Fu was inserting his hand stretched even more, and a blush spread across his face. He said coquettishly: "Really, the injury is not even healed. Be careful of causing the wound on his calf to open again..." He panicked.
Hide out the door.
"You still don't listen," Liu Yue'er struggled to sit up, pushed Lin Fu down on the soft couch, and said coquettishly and angrily, "I made that girl think I was seducing you." She took the quilt and wanted to replace Lin Fu.
On the cover, looking at the firm bulge in his lower body, he thought about reaching out to pat him, but in the end he was too embarrassed to do so, so he leaned over to Lin Fu's ear and said softly, "Can't we wait until the leg injury heals?"
Lin Fu grabbed Liu Yue'er's hand and stuffed it into the quilt. Liu Yue'er started to hide when her hand touched the Hua'er, but Lin Fu grabbed it, and then resigned to his fate and gently held the Hua'er and turned around.
She pressed her face against Lin Fu's chest, too shy to look into his eyes. Listening to the strong and powerful beating of his heart under his chest, she felt very at ease.
Lin Fu enjoyed it for a moment, but things couldn't stop. The sound of footsteps could be heard in the yard downstairs again. Ao Canghai asked Wu Wei under the yard: "Have you slept, sir?"
Liu Yue'er blushed and took out her hand. Lin Fu sat up and asked through the window: "What else happened?"
"The commander of the army camp, Xiao Baiming, and the battalion commander, Lieutenant Chen Qianhu, asked to see you outside the courtyard..."
"No," Lin Fu said crisply, "Don't make up any excuse that you were not feeling well and went to bed early. If you don't see me, you just don't see me."
Xiao Baiming came to get close to Xiao Tao on behalf of Xiao Tao. Even if we don't talk about last year's Chongzhou boy robbery case, Hu's raid on Xisha Island, and the army's fortress and navy's standstill, resulting in more than 2,000 casualties among the victims of Xisha Island, Lin Fu would never fight with Xiao.
Tao Yuanxu's resignation was superficially perfunctory, otherwise what would the refugees resettled on Xisha Island think about it?
Even though Xisha Island is adjacent to Junshan Village, it would be extremely stupid to have any illusions about Junshan Village because of Xiao Baiming's visit. Lin Fu asked Ao Canghai to blast Xiao Baiming and Chen Qianhu away, thinking that they would still be there in the future.
You have to find a way to remove this nail before you can feel at ease.
***************
The courtyard where Lin Fu lived was not big. Xiao Baiming could hear the conversation between Lin Fu and Ao Canghai at the entrance of the courtyard. The military guard on duty at the entrance of the courtyard stared at him jokingly. His fair and white face like a scholar turned green for a while under the moonlight.
There was a burst of redness, and the veins on Chen Qianhu's neck jumped wildly.
Xiao Baiming grabbed Chen Qianhu's lapel and told him not to lose his temper. He waited for Ao Canghai to come out before saying goodbye and leaving, insisting on showing the cultivation of a scholar.
"It's such a shame that he is still a traitor. We visited him several times and he didn't even see us. It's really shameless." In the corridor, Chen Qianhu lost his temper and cursed, "Is he really going to do it for Xisha?"
Are those untouchables on the island falling out with the captain?"
"Anyway, the captain is benefiting from him this time. It doesn't matter whether he pays attention to us or not. We have to make a gesture to show to others," Xiao Baiming's gloomy face under the moon chuckled a little evilly, and he glanced back
Taking a look at the courtyard where Lin Fu lived, he said, "He is so arrogant and successful that it is helpless to tolerate him. The captain should be in the courtyard of the envoy. Let's go there together. Don't talk nonsense..."
"I know," Chen Qianhu said in a low voice, "Young Master Gu and the staff member named Zhao next to Gu Wuchen are easy to talk to. I have to lose my temper in front of them. I just don't like this. Xisha Island is next to Junshan Village, so always
It’s a headache, hindering the captain’s deployment..."
"That's all we can do now," Xiao Baiming sighed softly. Xiao Taoyuan arranged all his cronies in Junshan Village because he was afraid that the Chongzhou boy case would have a convenient place to stay. The distance between Xisha Island and Junshan Village was only two thousand.
Yu Bu, if the Chongzhou boy case is exposed, Xisha Island will be the biggest threat and obstacle to their bargaining with the imperial court. But now Lin Fu's popularity has increased with Gu Wuchen, and even the Chongzhou people have changed their attitude and begun to agree with Xisha
The fact that the island can help protect the south of Chongzhou, they have nothing to do at this time. If they want to pretend to be pirates and disturb the refugees, they cannot settle on Xisha Island. They must also consider the existence of Jiyun Weiyong and Xisha Island Xiangying. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Baiming said again, "
Lin Fu currently has the name of disaster relief, but he will always evacuate all his people from Xisha Island, so we have to be patient and wait."
Xiao Baiming and Chen Qianhu walked to the house where Gu Wuchen temporarily lived in Jiyang County. When they saw Xiao Taoyuan's guard in the yard, they went over together to ask to see Gu Wuchen.
***********
It should be said that it was Xiao Taoyuan's passive avoidance of the war in the early stage that caused the counties along Taihu Lake to be so devastated by the East China Sea bandits. Coupled with the failure of the battle on the north shore of Taihu Lake, Gu Wuchen, as the inspector, had the power to supervise the military impeachment. He wanted to impeach Xiao.
It was not difficult for Tao Yuan to kick him out of the position of commander of the Sixth Battalion Navy in Ninghai Town.
The town army is a relatively closed system. If Xiao Taoyuan is kicked out, most of the generals who will replace Xiao Taoyuan will be selected from the Jiangning water camp. This will not be of obvious benefit to Gu Wuchen. Zhao Qinmin suggests that he should not quarrel with the town army on this matter.
If there is a stalemate, it is better to show kindness and let Xiao Taoyuan go in exchange for the support of Xiao Taoyuan and other generals of the town army in various matters.
Gu Wuchen could not ignore these practical benefits, especially since the Pingjiang Prefecture had strong opinions on the Ninghai Navy's passive avoidance of war. It would be more effective to win over Xiao Taoyuan and other naval generals.
Lin Fu told Xiao Baiming that Xiao Taoyuan had come over to lure him outside Hongzhi's door. Gu Wuchen met Xiao Taoyuan in his temporary residence.
Xiao Baiming and Chen Qianhu walked into the courtyard. Xiao Taoyuan was sitting at the bottom of the hall and respectfully listening to Gu Wuchen's instructions. Gu Wuchen saw two generals walking into the courtyard. He remembered that they were Xiao Taoyuan's subordinates and said in a faint voice: "Why are you here?
Are you forced to stand in the yard? Come in and talk."
Xiao Baiming and Chen Qianhu walked in and saluted Gu Wuchen first: "Xiao Baiming, the commander of Junshan Village, and Chen Qianhu, commander of the battalion, have met your Excellency..." Then they walked and stood behind Xiao Taoyuan.
"Have you been there, Mr. Lin?" Xiao Taoyuan asked.
"Xisha Island was attacked by lake pirates in early August. Although we had the responsibility of guarding Chongzhou, we made a big mistake after all, causing heavy losses to Lord Lin's subordinates. Lord Lin should not forgive us..." Xiao Baiming replied
, Akari didn’t even mention the matter of being sent out by Todoroki.
"It is also my responsibility," Xiao Taoyuan blamed himself, "I will go with you to apologize later..."
"That's not necessary," Gu Wuchen said, "Lin Fu was seriously injured in this battle and is in poor health. He doesn't receive many foreign guests. This may not necessarily be because he refuses to forgive Jun Shanzhai for the loss." Since he no longer pursues the Ninghai Water Control Division.
Passively avoiding the responsibility of the war, naturally he would not pursue the attack on Xisha Island and the military camp stood idly by; besides, it would be unseemly to let Xiao Taoyuan go to plead guilty to Lin Fu as a cavalry captain.
"Alas," Xiao Taoyuan complained, "in the battle on the northern shore of Taihu Lake, our troops also wanted to fight the enemy bravely. The soldiers forgot about life and death, but the result was a miserably defeat. It's not that we didn't dare to fight the enemy, it's just that the navy
The warships have not been replaced for several years. The hulls are severely corroded and will break when they hit the rocks. The soldiers' war gears are also corroded and broken when they hit the rocks. I am afraid that if this naval force fails in battle and is exhausted, Jiangdong County will have no door.
If someone comes to guard me, then I will be the biggest sinner of the court."
Yang Pu stood behind Gu Wuchen and watched Xiao Taoyuan's wonderful performance with cold eyes. As a military general, Xiao Taoyuan has a huge body, which may not be too fat. After all, he is a navy general. If he is a cavalry infantry general, I really doubt that he has
Unable to mount a horse.
Yang Pu thought to himself: Lin Fu did not say anything clearly, but he was very dissatisfied with Xiao Taoyuan's passive avoidance of the battle and the banditry along the Taihu Lake. He even bluntly suggested that Gu Wuchen use the power of impeachment to remove Xiao Taoyuan from Ninghai Town when he was in Chongzhou.
The commander of the Sixth Battalion Navy kicked off his position, let alone the navy generals of Xiao Taoyuan's line during these days of recuperation in Jiyang, and he avoided them as enemies. However, your Excellency followed Zhao Qinmin's advice on this matter and told Xiao Taoyuan.
If it's good, it's hard to guarantee that it won't give Lin Fu a chill.
Even as a father, Yang Pu hoped that his son Yang Shi would have a greater future in the Dongyang army, but Lin Fu was not a stupid person, so how could he not have any ideas about Dongyang's personnel arrangements?
"It makes sense for General Xiao to think this way, otherwise there would be no victory in the battle of Donglaihe," Zhao Qinmin said from the side, "Over at Xisha Island, Mr. Lin is too serious about the refugees..." In any case, Lin
Lin Fu used the resources that should have been used to train Dongyang Xiangyong to provide disaster relief and resettle the refugees on Xisha Island. Zhao Qinmin could see that Gu Wuchen had some opinions in his heart, but Gu Wuchen could still tolerate Lin Fu doing this at this time.
