Before the lake was dammed on Changshan Island, there was a grotto at the mouth of the valley. Lin Fu, Su Mei and others took shelter in it two years ago. After the dam was built to enclose the lake, the grotto was submerged under the lake water.
A fort was built on the south cliff, and a well was dug in the fort, connected to the grotto, and secretly connected to the dam lake. It was usually just for the convenience of directly fetching water in the camp, but it was also a secret way out of the camp through the dam lake.
Ning Zechen led the elite infantry of Fengli Battalion to go into battle to attract the attention of the invaders. Qin Chengzu sent more than 30 men from the camp to go into the well and swim across Ba Lake. At dusk, they sneaked into the woods to the west of Ba Lake to look for suspicious soldiers.
On the entire northern slope, She Feihu assembled nearly 3,000 troops. Even though he personally led his elite troops to resist Feng Li Jianyong's frontal attack, he still maintained enough troops at the rear and flanks.
If the troops at the rear and flanks were on the front battlefield, they would be able to crush thirty or fifty people into powder. However, at that time, they were all distracted by the fierce battle in front of the camp gate. They did not expect that an ambush would rush out from the forest. As soon as the formation was hit, the soldiers and generals
They were all panic-stricken and caught off guard, and were immediately rushed into chaos by more than thirty people.
Like a small stone dropped into a calm lake, panic quickly spread to the front line. Not to mention the ordinary soldiers, even She Feihu was panic-stricken at that time and could not understand the situation. No matter how capable Tu Feihu was, he could not avoid being punished.
The fate of defeat...
***********
When Qin Zitan woke up, it was already dawn.
The huge pain coming from his left elbow made him want to die immediately. His consciousness was still a little blurry, and he could feel the blurry lights in front of his eyes. He heard someone saying: "Mr. Qin woke up..." Qin Zitan
I felt relieved, knowing that I had not fallen into the hands of the Jiangdong Zuojun. My arm was broken, and I could at least save my life.
He personally planned the attack on Xisha Island last autumn. He and Cheng Yiqun killed more than 2,000 soldiers and civilians on Xisha Island, and killed Fu Qinghe, who was very dependent on Lin Fu. If this fate fell into Lin Fu's hands, it would be really difficult to save his life.
Extravagant hope.
Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, Qin Zitan opened his eyes with difficulty and saw She Feihu and Cheng Yiqun approaching.
He was not worried about how many casualties this battle would cause. After being defeated, the soldiers could flee into the dense forest. The forest was not deep, but the Changshan Island soldiers dispersed and chased into the forest, and the damage they could cause was relatively limited. Cheng Yiqun
You can also send warships along the island to accept the defeated troops - Qin Zitan was worried about She Feihu and others. Under the circumstances at that time, the Changshan Island soldiers would definitely focus on the generals with well-equipped and bright armor to pursue them.
Seeing Qin Zitan struggling to speak, She Feihu said: "Nearly a thousand soldiers and horses were lost. Fortunately, you led the men in time to repair the headland fort, so that when we withdraw, we still have a foothold on the Southwest Beach and will not be defeated.
Rushed to the sea in a hurry..." At this point, he also sighed with luck. If there was no headland fortress on the southwest beach to stabilize their position, at least 70% of the soldiers and horses on the island would be completely lost. At this time
I also regret that I didn’t listen to Qin Zitan’s advice, which led to my current defeat.
Seeing Qin Zitan's broken arm, She Feihu was also heartbroken and said, "It will be dawn soon. In order to prevent the main force of the Jiangdong Zuo Army's boat division from attacking, I plan to hold the Southwest Beach first. The entrance to the Southwest Beach and the shoal are
It is conducive to the formation of our naval division. If the naval division of the Jiangdong Left Army arrives before dusk, I will sail south and rush to Daheng Island at night. At that time, I will lead the infantry to land from the East Peninsula and contain the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army at Daheng Island.
Hengdao. Do you think this arrangement is good?"
Qin Zitan moved his mouth and wanted to speak, but it was very difficult. He was worried that the second young master would get out of the corner and go to attack Chongzhou. It would be great for the second young master to put the overall situation of eastern Zhejiang first. Second Young Master no matter how
No matter what you want to fight with the eldest son, you must first protect the She family.
Although the situation on Daheng Island is still unclear, since the Jiangdong Zuo Army attacked at night, the warships will definitely be damaged a lot when grabbing the beach. The warships here will not suffer any losses, even if they meet the main force of the Jiangdong Zuo Army's boat division at sea
, it was not without its doubts, but Qin Zitan figured out a long-standing doubt and expected that Lin Fu would not use all the strength of the boat commander in his hand to fight with them on the sea.
"Send someone to Jiyang and ask Xiao Taoyuan if he knows about the Chongzhou boy case. It can be said that he is attached to the She family!" Qin Zitan's lips wriggled and he said this with difficulty. He felt that the strength of his body was exhausted and he fainted again.
.
"Xiao Taoyuan? Chongzhou boy case?" Cheng Yiqun was extremely surprised. He had no idea why Qin Zitan said such an inexplicable sentence when he woke up. He didn't even know the details of the robbery in Baisha County, so how could he understand Qin Zitan?
The meaning of this sentence.
However, Qin Zitan gave She Feihu enough reminder. What's more, what Qin Zitan said at dusk meant that he suspected that the Changshan Island group had colluded with Lin Fu long before he became famous.
She Feihu frowned, and only then did he consider the possibility.
************
When Du Rong persuaded Tushan Island bandit Zhao Laoyao to secretly join him, She Feihu designed Du Rong to invite Su Mei to Baisha County, and also had Zhao Laoyao lead his troops to infiltrate and rob him, as Zhao Laoyao's surrender.
Name certificate, this is the beginning of the robbery in Baisha County.
With the help of Du Rong, Zhao Lao was successfully robbed. However, Zhao Lao and his men disappeared for no reason afterwards, and Su Mei, Lin Fu, Fu Qinghe and others who were involved returned to Jiangning one after another without envy.
She Feihu, Du Rong, Qin Zitan and others have never been able to figure out what went wrong. No matter how powerful Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe were, they would not be able to lurk on the ship and kill Zhao Lao and dozens of other people.
The subordinates who licked blood at the edge of the knife to earn a living quietly killed and rescued Su Mei's master and servant, right?
After the autumn of last year, Lin Fu neglected Jiangning and focused on Chongzhou, and made frequent moves on Xisha Island.
The She family had already laid out the secret plan of Guangjiao Temple in Zilang Mountain. At least before Guangjiao Temple was uprooted by Lin Fu, She Feihu and the others were fully aware of the movements in Chongzhou, and thus knew the place where Chongzhou first surrendered to Lin Fu.
The powerful force was no one else but Hu Zhiyong and Hu Zhicheng brothers who lost their nephew in the Chongzhou Boy case. They investigated the background of the Chongzhou Boy case at that time.
According to public information, a few days before the robbery in Baisha County, Chongzhou County was raided by a group of pirates. All the children from the county school were robbed and a ransom of 30,000 yuan was demanded. This group of pirates gave Ninghai to Ninghai on the southwest beach of Xisha Island.
Zhenshuiying found out, but managed to escape, and the kidnapped boy's family later paid the ransom in full. However, there was never a trace of the kidnapped boy, and it was suspected that the pirates tore up the ticket.
Strangely, no one in the East China Sea knows who is responsible for this case.
Although the bandits in the East China Sea that were not controlled by the She family before were very scattered and had many factions, they all had some rules: after receiving the ransom money, there was no reason to fight anymore - which one would dare to do this?
This caused other Donghai bandits to attack in groups.
Qin Zitan suspected that Xiao Taoyuan was a ghost at that time.
Xiao Taoyuan was greedy and ruthless. As a fourth-grade military attache of the imperial court, he personally led more than a hundred of his followers to intercept a small group of pirates. What good intentions could he have?
Qin Zitan suspected that the pirates who had committed the robbery had actually been annihilated by Xiao Taoyuan on Xisha Island. The ones who had a chance to escape were disguised as Xiao Taoyuan's cronies. The ransom money was secretly taken away by Xiao Taoyuan. Of course, he would not do it again. Leave those alive. Those children who were killed may have been thrown into the sea or abandoned on some desert island.
Since Hu Zhiyong and Hu Zhicheng brothers are not well-known figures, the Hu family can only be considered a small clan in Chongzhou. Qin Zitan and the others did not conduct an in-depth investigation into the Chongzhou boy case. Even if they suspected that Xiao Taoyuan was evil, it was just suspicion without evidence. You can't threaten such a person if you have it in hand.
After guessing that Lin Fu might have colluded with the Changshan Island group at the beginning of his rise in Jiangning, Qin Zitan suddenly linked the robbery in Baisha County with the Chongzhou boy case, thinking that the Chongzhou boy case was probably the case of Zhao Lao He led his men to Baisha County to do private work when passing through Chongzhou. Only in this way can the many doubts and coincidences be explained clearly and the time can be made right.
Just as they didn't know that Zhao Laoyao led his men to pass through Chongzhou to do illegal things and rob children, Xiao Tao was far from aware that Zhao Laoyao, who he had annihilated on Xisha Island, had robbed Su Mei in Baisha County, and Xiaoman's master and servant Fu Qinghe They were taken off the boat in Baisha County. Lin Fu also killed people and launched the boat in Baisha County. However, they secretly hid on the boat and waited for an opportunity to rescue Su Mei and Xiao Man's master and servant. It was not impossible with the skills of the two of them.
She Feihu suddenly realized that he was as stupid as a pig. Judging from the sudden close relationship between Lin Fu and Su Mei after returning to Jiangning, he should have guessed this. This was simply a certainty.
When Xiao Taoyuan led his troops to attack Zhao Lao Yao, Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe who were hiding on the boat should be able to take advantage of the chaos and rescue Su Mei, Xiaoman's master and servant.
With Lin Fu's wisdom, it should not be difficult to see through Xiao Taoyuan's intention at that time, but there were not many enemies at the time, so the four of them could only continue to hide in the boat and follow them out to sea. After going out to sea, they sent Xiao Taoyuan's men pretending to be pirates to kill him. Die, rescue the kidnapped boy——As long as Xiao Taoyuan personally leads a large number of subordinates to go to sea, with the skills of Fu Qinghe and Lin Fu, it is not difficult at all to secretly kill several of Xiao Taoyuan's confidants after going to sea.
This also explains why Fu Qinghe took a long time to return to Jiangning, and why brothers Hu Zhiyong and Hu Zhicheng took refuge in Lin Fu at the risk of breaking with the local government before Lin Fu had no power in Chongzhou----Xiao Taoyuan With great power and military power, Lin Fu, Fu Qinghe and others did not dare to expose the Chongzhou boy case.
Perhaps at that time, Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe colluded with the group of people who had just arrived on Changshan Island. Fu Qinghe took the kidnapped Chongzhou boy to temporarily live on Changshan Island, while Lin Fu returned to Jiangning to secretly coordinate - ---This also explains that when Lin Fu rose in Jiangning, Jiyun Society was initially engaged in merchant shipping affairs, and also explains that this group of people cleared wasteland, built dams, and built forts when they first occupied Changshan Island two years ago. .
Without Lin Fu's support in Jiangning, and without Lin Fu's talent, how could ordinary pirates manage a small desert island to be impregnable in two years?
This also explains why Changshan Island turned to Lin Fu. Changshan Island was developed with the support of Lin Fu.
This can also explain why Xiao Taoyuan paid extra attention to the situation in Chongzhou after the Chongzhou Child Case, and even deployed troops to garrison the village - he was just in case the Chongzhou Child Case was suddenly revealed to someone one day.
After the battle in Jiyang, Gu Wuchen deliberately gathered Xiao Taoyuan, and Xiao Taoyuan also became close to Gu Wuchen. However, Lin Fu and Xiao Taoyuan vowed to be at odds with each other, forcing Xiao Taoyuan to surrender to Yue Lengqiu - at the same time
It can explain why Lin Fu tried every means to force the Ninghai Zhenshuiying forces out of Chongzhou.
The most fundamental point is that She Feihu and Qin Zitan couldn't figure out why Lin Fu gave up the great opportunity to attack them with the Changshan Island ambush and took the risk to attack Daheng Island, even leaving his base camp Chongzhou without troops.
Lin Fu was afraid that the battle at sea would severely damage the Jiangdong Zuo Army's naval division and would be unable to deal with Xiao Taoyuan's rebellion.
In other words, once the Changshan Island secret chess surfaced, Xiao Taoyuan should be able to guess everything.
It was because they couldn't see through this that they fell into Lin Fu's trick and were defeated by the Changshan Island ambush yesterday.
************
She Feihu clenched his fists and felt uncomfortable being played with by others. Although everything was still a guess by him and Qin Zitan, it was very simple to confirm. All he had to do was send someone across the sea to see Xiao Tao immediately.
Yuan. If the guess is true, Xiao Taoyuan will definitely betray him.
