Lin Fu had arranged the affairs of the inner house and had some things to do before going to Dongya to discuss matters, so he went to the study to read the manuscripts that had been sent from various places in the past two days. This has become a habit for him. Before dealing with the affairs of Chongzhou and Jiangdong Zuojun,
Visit the prison first
Song Jia, who came first, saw Lin Fu coming in. She bowed her arms and said, "I haven't congratulated you on your new victory in Crane City..."
"Oh!" Lin Fu looked at Mrs. Song in surprise, seeing that her eyes were like pure jade, with graceful light and sparkling energy. He secretly thought that as an old wife of the She family, there seemed to be no need to blatantly gloat and hesitate.
After sitting back at the desk, he suddenly raised his head and asked Song, "The Japanese soldiers left Shengsi and marched north. Five out of ten of the more than five thousand soldiers were killed... Do you think there is still an unresolved crisis on the northern front?"
"The heart of an adult is like a candle in a hole. Whether it is understood or not is determined by the adult's thoughts..." Song Jia also imitated the man's official tone, speaking in a false and true manner, but his eyes boldly and unbridledly stared at Lin Fu's face.
The death of the assassination sent by the She family cut off her last trace of affection for the She family. However, she was unwilling to be the canary for men to fight for, but she was unable to fight for the canary that had been arranged for women in this era.
Fate and cage.
Song Jia was wearing a waistcoat embroidered with gold silk piping outside her purple cloud jacket, and her raven-like hair was casually pulled behind her shoulders, adding to her beauty. Lin Fu didn't feel dissatisfied when Song Jia stared at her, so he sat down and took an official document.
After flipping through the pages, he was still thinking about her words. Er then asked, "How many people in the She family can see the dangers of Crane City?"
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Hecheng military fortress threatens the hinterland of Chongzhou. However, after yesterday's battle, the invaders lost more than half of their troops and their morale was greatly reduced.
The morale was greatly boosted, and the Hecheng military fortress did not pose much threat to Chongzhou even if it was surrounded by bandits. Lin Fu inspected the public land and had deep grudges in Chongzhou. Yesterday, forty or fifty large families came to congratulate them in a hurry. It can be seen that Chongzhou
The situation has been decided - the Jinghai camp is assembled at Jiangmen to see the sea route between the sea and Hesheng, and heavy troops are assembled on the northern front. If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese soldiers should be forced to abandon the Hecheng military fortress under pressure.
"After this defeat, even if the Hecheng military fortress is in the hands of the East China Sea pirates, the threat to Chongzhou is limited. As far as the She family is concerned, Hecheng is too far away from the Shengsi Islands and can easily be attacked by Jiangdong Zuojun's boat division.
Isolated, it is very difficult to divide the troops to guard Hecheng, which is not conducive to gathering troops to attack eastern Zhejiang." Song Jia sat up straight, the Jade Girl Peak hidden in the autumn sweater and coat stood tall, and the clothes were bulging, and said, "But you
At the base of Chongzhou, the field of vision is far beyond Chongzhou. Crane City blocks the sea route from Chongzhou to the north. In addition to the waste of the Huainan salt field, it also threatens Huaikou. In addition to restricting the expansion of the left army in the east of the Yangtze River, the waste of the Huainan salt field makes the Huainan salt field useless.
The price of salt is soaring, and although Jin'an produces little salt, the price of salt is soaring, and Juhecheng's affair with the salt lord can still make huge profits... Isn't it true that no one in Jin'an can see all these benefits?"
"Can the counselors around the Young Marquis see this?" Lin Fu asked.
She Fei Xiong and She Fei Hu are both sons of the Marquis of Jin'an, but She Fei Xiong is the eldest son of Ce Ce, so people used to refer to him as the eldest son. "Shao Hou Ye" refers to She Fei Hu. In addition, there are four other people in She Wenzhuang.
The reputation of his first son was not as long as that of his second son.
He had clashed with She Feihu several times. In Lin Fu's opinion, She Feihu valued Chongzhou more than She Fei Xiong. For men in this world, seizing a wife was a great hatred. She Feihu should be eager to have his bones ripped out and cramped.
If anyone can get to the key points of the Hecheng military fortress, it is more likely to be the counselor around She Feihu.
Song Jia stared at Lin Fu. Hecheng Military Fortress is the real choke point of Chongzhou. As long as someone in the She family can see the powerful relationship, the crisis in Chongzhou will be far from solved. However, Lin Fu was not shocked by the revelation.
, which puzzled her: "Aren't you worried?"
"What's the use of worrying?" Lin Fu asked calmly.
Song Jia seemed to have thought through it, and stood up suddenly and walked to Lin Fu's side, spreading out the sea map of Hailing Mansion on her desk. She did not care about being very close to Lin Fu, frowning and staring at the vast sea outside the river mouth.
, turned to stare at Lin Fu, as if wanting to see through the deepest secret in Lin Fu's heart, and said: "When I was in Jiangning, I heard that there was a group of pirates entrenched on a small island in the north of Shengsi Sea. They were so arrogant that the She family almost
I sent people to contact me, but they ignored me—could it be that this is what you have in mind?"
Song Jia turned her head, her beautiful face was only seven or eight inches away from Lin Fu, and their bodies were almost hugging each other. But the secret revealed this time really shocked her. It seemed that the mystery of Lin Fu's rapid rise in a short period of time was explained.
Even though his hot breath hit her eyebrows, she forgot to move away. She never thought of paying attention to the distance between the man and the woman. When Lin Fu's mouth showed a slight smile, she felt a tremor in her heart, thinking about it.
He stepped back and got out of the way, feeling a little flustered for no reason.
Lin Fu was also stunned that Song Jian could figure out the secret of Changshan Island...
****************
In the late autumn of September of the 10th year of Chongguan, the night in Jiangning was shrouded in the endless light rain, and the whole Jiangning seemed to be covered with a dim light film. The autumn rain was not strong, and the raindrops fell on the leaves, eaves, and tiled courtyards, rustling.
Thin sound.
The main hall of Longzangpu in the south of Jiangning City where Qingfeng was traveling was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Except for the concierge who occasionally poked his head out to observe the hidden stakes hidden by various government offices outside the courtyard, there was no movement.
It was raining, and there were no people on the green brick path along the north bank of the river. There were several shops on both sides with red lanterns on the outer walls of the courtyard, which gave off a dim light and reflected the rain.
The two waiters at the counter were cleaning the counter listlessly with a whisk. The layout of the counter was different from other shops. They were staring at the door of Qingfenghang's main hall. Si Bu, the inspector, was hiding a stake here and staring at She Fei.
Hu wouldn't let him do anything in Jiangning.
Qin Zitan wore a blue cloth coat and walked to the foyer in the front yard. He asked someone to blow out the lights in the room and opened the dark window to observe the movement outside the yard. The several hidden piles that had been discovered were as usual. It took a long time.
It was inevitable that I would be a little slack, and it would not be easy for someone to sneak out with a few people, but I had to be careful this time.
"How about it?"
As soon as the light came on behind him, Qin Zitan quickly closed the dark windows to prevent the dark posts outside the courtyard from discovering the dark windows of the watchtower.
When She Feihu walked in, he was a little impatient. He couldn't calm down and waited for news in his house, so he came to see the situation in person.
"As usual," Qin Zitan said, "waiting for dawn, the young prince also went out to practice swordsmanship as usual, and his reserve boat sailed southwest against the current, pretending to be returning to Jin'an via Jiangxi, and then turned back.
I took the overland route and sneaked to Haiyu - I was afraid that it would be difficult for the eldest son to explain to me..."
"What's not easy to explain? To fight a tiger, you need brothers, and father and son are soldiers in battle," She Feihu said with a raised eyebrow, "Since they can't see through the key points of Hecheng Military Fortress, they think Hecheng Military Fortress is separated from eastern Zhejiang.
If the river blocks the sea, I will go and guard it on your behalf, why not?"
Jiangning and Chongzhou are five hundred miles apart. Except for the official express shop and Tang Post, ordinary people are prohibited from riding fast horses and whipping whips on the post road. The messenger sent by Cheng Yiqun set out from Chongzhou and rode a small road from Gaocheng to Jiangning.
It took more than a day and a night, and was half a day slower than the usual flying cavalry express. It was only early this morning that She Feihu learned that the Hecheng military fortress in the northeast corner of Chongzhou had fallen into the hands of Cheng Yiqun.
The Donghai bandits controlled by the She family were now dividing their troops into two fronts: the north was showing off and the south was hiding, the north was making noise, and the south was silent, in order to build momentum on the north line and lure the eastern Zhejiang soldiers to immediately counterattack Changguo. The north line was led by Su Tingzhan.
, Cheng Yiqun, Shu Qingqiu and others were in charge. They had not planned to capture the Hecheng Military Fortress this time. After completing the "Shengdong" mission, their troops would shrink southward and increase their efforts to encroach on eastern Zhejiang - this is
established strategy,
After unexpectedly and effortlessly capturing the Hecheng Military Fortress, Su Tingzhan, Cheng Yiqun, and Shu Qingqiu had disagreements over the subsequent northern front battle plan. She Feixiong clearly ordered that the northern front should be dominated by Su Tingzhan, and Su Tingzhan supported it.
The plan remained unchanged, Cheng Yiqun and Shu Qingqiu privately sent messengers to Jiangning to inform She Feihu of the capture of the Hecheng military fortress.
She Feihu is trapped in Jiangning, like an animal trapped in a cage. Lin Biao hates him for having his wife and sister. He wants to eat his flesh and drink his blood. He is trapped in the house. The one who has studied the most and thoroughly is Chongzhou---
- Take the words of Qin Zitan: "The Hecheng military fortress is to the Jiangdong Zuojun, just like the Tianjin Sea is to the imperial court. It is a vital point. It is a gift from God and needs to be managed well."
She Feihu had long conspired to leave Jiangning, and asked Qin Zitan to frequently contact Cheng Yiqun, Shu Qingqiu and other generals on his behalf, so as not to be left out in the cold. When he learned that he had captured the Hecheng military fortress, he knew it was his time to leave Jiangning.
Without hesitation, he decided to leave Jiangning immediately.
She Feihu went in a circle to Chongzhou. With the support of Cheng Yiqun, Shu Qingqiu and others, it would not be difficult for him to squeeze Su Tingzhan away and take over the military affairs on the northern front——Boss, if you want to encroach on eastern Zhejiang, you can encroach on eastern Zhejiang. You can't encroach on the entire
Donghai is covered tightly, not letting me put a finger in!
"Tap-tat-tat..." Hearing the sound of horse hoofbeats on the green brick path outside the courtyard, Qin Zitan opened the dark window and saw a horse riding in the rain, galloping all the way to the main hall gate. A man on horseback
As soon as he got down, he climbed the steps and knocked on the door.
The copper ring on the gate clanged loudly, and almost all the hidden stakes outside the yard started to stir. Qin Zitan frowned and cursed in his mind: Who is so ignorant of propriety? If it arouses alert from all sides, the Young Marquis will leave tomorrow.
Jiang Ning is afraid that there will be more variables.
"The secret message from Chongzhou is extremely urgent." The door opened and the man almost fell in. He almost lost his strength. "Secret matters are not copied on paper, but passed down orally..."
She Feihu heard the secret message correctly and drove away the others, leaving only Qin Zitan and Du Cheli's two or three close confidants to listen to the envoy's dictation of Chongzhou's secret message.
"Hecheng was defeated, Shu Qingqiu died in battle, Cheng Yiqun suffered four arrows, but was not seriously injured for the time being. Five out of ten soldiers and horses marching north lost, and the Hecheng military fortress has become a lonely place..." The messenger dictated the battle in Hecheng yesterday afternoon.
After She Feihu heard that the main force on the northern front had captured the Hecheng military fortress, he was so determined that he wanted to sneak to Chongzhou to do something big. At this time, he felt as if he had been hit by snow. Who would have thought that in just one day, the situation would suddenly change.
, half of the troops and horses heading north from Shengsi were lost in just one day?
She Feihu was struck by this and was breathing very hard. He stood up slowly while holding on to the table without saying a word. Qin Zitan was still calm and patiently asked the messenger about yesterday's battle and the details of the Hecheng military fortress.
