(This is the second update. Today, I am out of town, so I will be a little sorry for the update tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.)
Lin Fu pinned the gourd ladle for ladling cold boiled water behind his back, looked coldly at Tao Chun who was kneeling on the ground and howling loudly, and said: "You are making heart-breaking remarks. I, Lin Fu, am loyal to the court. Governor Yue is
"Jianghuai Spine, if I had the ability, how could I sit back and watch the Governor of Yue being trapped in Xuzhou without sending troops to rescue him?" He shouted to the left and right, "Drag this bastard away from my eyes!"
Four guards on the left and right came forward, like tigers and wolves, grabbed Tao Chun and dragged him out.
Tao Chun was also a brave general. When he broke out for the first time, there was still a gap to be found. After June, Xuzhou was under the surveillance of the refugee army day and night, so he forced his way out.
He wailed loudly: "Sir, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xucheng are waiting for you to send troops. Sir, you can't just die without saving them!"
Although he was strong, he was held up by the guards and did not dare to struggle too hard to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. He was killed in vain with his feet pressed to the ground, and the soft sand dragged out two shallow ditches.
Lin Fu threw the ladle into the bucket of cold water, clapped his hands, and said angrily to Liu Tingzhou: "This is really a joke. God is still kind of good at life. How can I ignore the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou?"
"Human? Yue Du has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who can't fight back the bandits. I can't lead thousands of people to Xuzhou to die in vain without knowing what's wrong!"
"This, this..." Liu Tingzhou smiled awkwardly.
Liu Tingzhou secretly thought: Last time, he hit a snag. Yue Lengqiu sent Tao Chun to break out and come to Huai'an for rescue. It was really a desperate situation. If Xuzhou was really defeated and the Changhuai Army was destroyed, it would be no good to anyone, but Lin
Fu's attitude was so resolute that he sent people to drag Tao Chun away. He didn't know how to persuade him.
"It's a joke that I won't save you at the risk of death?" Lin Fuyou was annoyed and said angrily, "I only have 5,000 old soldiers and 6,000 new soldiers in my hands. If you want to say that I won't save you at the risk of death, Cheng's military department still has troops in Jiangning.
With 20,000 elite soldiers in hand, could it be that he would not save him? Luzhou also had 10,000 elite soldiers, so why didn’t he go north to attack Shouzhou and attack Haozhou? The Duke of Lu had 50,000 elite soldiers in Jinan, so why didn’t he go south to attack Jining and relieve the enemy?
The siege of Xuzhou? You said that I was willing to die without saving you! You really made me angry, because you thought I was easy to bully!" At this point, Lin Fu threw off his armor and walked away, leaving Liu Tingzhou there.
Zhang Yubo felt unwell and returned to the city to escape the summer heat. Only Liang Wenzhan, the magistrate of Huai'an County, was among the local officials.
Lin Fu lost his temper and Liu Tingzhou was thrown on the field. He winked at Liang Wenzhan, called him aside and asked, "Do you think Zhi Zhi is really annoyed or fake?"
"Master Fu Zun, are you asking whether the envoy really doesn't want to save Xuzhou, or is he pretending not to want to save Xuzhou?" Liang Wenzhan asked.
Liu Tingzhou smoothed his beard and nodded, knowing that Liang Wenzhan always had a strategy. He was in Huai'an, with Xiao Kui'an as the military commander and Liang Wenzhan as the military commander. He originally wanted to use Liang Wenzhan as the general judge, but Jiang Ning asked Lin Fu to send troops to guard Huaihe and send Zhang Yubo to
Come to Huai'an.
He motioned to Liang Wenzhan to continue speaking.
"Tang Gong and Zhang Xiang are so troubled that even teachers and students cannot be together. How can we understand the grudge between the two? It is impossible for Governor Yue to think that he sent General Tao to come and wail heartbreakingly.
"You can make Lin Fu moved," Liang Wenzhan said, "The Governor of Yue will not shed tears until he sees the coffin, and the envoy will not let go of the hawk if he does not see the rabbit..."
"So, the Zhizhi Envoy will send troops in the end?" Liu Tingzhou asked.
Liang Wenzhan nodded and said: "The year before last, the Donglu invaded the border and made a lone army to march north to Yannan. Their courage was unparalleled in the world. This rescue of Xuzhou seemed more dangerous than the time of the northern invasion of Yannan. In fact,
Otherwise, the key is how to save..."
"Capture Suyu and Suining, or conquer the enemy in front of Shukou, and join forces with the defenders of Shuyang to attack Yancheng. As long as we enter Linyi, the siege of Xuzhou will be solved," Liu Tingzhou said, stroking his beard. "From this point of view,
The troops in the hands of the arbiter are indeed somewhat insufficient..."
The left army in Jiangdong is still invincible in field battles, but when it comes to attacking cities and demolishing strongholds, they have three to five thousand elites but they are not up to the task.
Although the combat power of the refugee army is not as good as that of the Jiangdong Left Army, it has a fortress to defend, which will greatly make up for the lack of combat power. If it were Liu Tingzhou, he would not be willing to attack the city with all his elite soldiers who have been with him through life and death.
If the stronghold is defeated, the casualties will be huge.
"I think Zhizhi is very confident and confident," Liang Wenzhan said.
"Oh?" Liu Tingzhou asked in surprise, "How can you tell?"
Liu Tingzhou knew that Liang Wenzhan had spent a lot of time with Lin Fu in the past half month to build embankments and secure the civil affairs. However, Lin Fu was here, except for training new soldiers, and did not care about the defense of Shukou. How could Liang Wenzhan know that Lin Fu was confident?
"These newly recruited soldiers have not been marching in formation for more than ten days, but have only been divided into teams to practice defensive operations. Mr. Fu Zun, look at the sections of temporary city walls made of earth, the garrison caves and the city gates beside the school field.
Dao, Haogou is for new soldiers to practice defensive skills. Sir, what do you think Lin Fu is going to do?" Liang Wenzhan gave up and asked Liu Tingzhou.
"Do you plan to use these 6,000 new soldiers to replace the 5,000 elite soldiers in the Shukou camp?" Liu Tingzhou's mind was spinning quickly, but he said worriedly, "These 6,000 soldiers have only been recruited for half a month. Can they be used?"
Are you going to guard Shukou?"
"Your Majesty, please don't forget that when the Zhizhi envoy went north to King Qin, he recruited 3,000 new warriors. When they arrived in Jinan, they dared to fight with the captives. When it comes to the ability to run an army, there is no one in the world who can compare with the Zhizhi envoy.
, Not really." Liang Wenzhan couldn't see through Lin Fu's military system. After all, he had no access to the details of the military. How could he see it from afar?
Speaking of the speed of forming an army, Jiangdong Left Army is not the only example.
When the Liang family was dormant in Qinyang, they ordered Yunbo and Liang Chengyi to lead five or six thousand elites. However, when Liang Xi and Liang Chengchong were ordered to attack the Tianyi rebels in the west, they first recruited more than ten thousand brave men from the local area, equipped them and then sent them out to attack the camp.
Break out the stronghold.
The logic is the same. After the tragic defeat of Chentangyi, the Liang family and his son were forced to hand over military power, but a large number of generals and old soldiers followed them back to Qinyang to disarm and return to their fields.
Based on these generals and old soldiers, the Liang family's military strength has been expanded to more than 10,000 people. Naturally, they can fight with them.
The fact that the Liang family and his son are able to achieve this level of success is due to the accumulation of connections among several generations of generals of the Liang family.
Although military generals also have a tradition of passing on the art of war and tactics, it is mainly limited to the inheritance of divisions, and is far less rapid, effective, and formal than mass training at Lin Fujian's War Training School!
Hearing what Liang Wenzhan said, Liu Tingzhou relaxed and watched the show, knowing that Yue Lengqiu must have the means to persuade Lin Fu, or in exchange for Lin Fu's conditions for sending troops to relieve the siege of Xuzhou.
Of course, these conditions must be very damaging to Zhang, but beneficial to Yue, Lin, and Yue Lengqiu must have ordered Tao Chun not to reveal these trump cards easily——This is what Liang Wenzhan said, Yue Lengqiu
It is impossible not to shed tears without seeing the coffin.
Although Lin Fu is young, he has climbed to such a high position and has such a reputation. Naturally, he is not a simple person. He can't see through Yue Lengqiu's tricks. With a little delay, Tao Chun can make Yue Lengqiu agree.
Spit out all the benefits of coming down - this is what Liang Wenzhan said, Lin Fu is the one who doesn't let go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit.
Okay, everyone is pretending, Liu Tingzhou will also go back to Huai'an City, Xuzhou won't be destroyed for a while, let's see how Tao Chun fights with Lin Fu?
Liu Tingzhou secretly thought that it would be better if Yue Lengqiu came in person. How could Tao Chun, a military general, be as scheming as Lin Fu? The key is Yue Lengqiu. Tao Chun and the others have no trump cards to use.
Liu Tingzhou felt dizzy from the sun and returned to the city to eat melon to relieve the heat. When it was getting dark, the gatekeeper sent a message to Tao Chun asking for an audience.
Liu Tingzhou also wanted to prompt Lin Fu to send troops to relieve the siege of Xuzhou as soon as possible and called Tao Chun in.
"Master Liu, these are the three secret books that Governor Yue asked me to keep even to death. I want Master Liu to read them before deciding which secret books to send to the capital!" Tao Chun took out the three secret books of Yue Lengqiu in Xuzhou from his arms.
Here comes the memorial written here.
Liu Tingzhou was confused, what conditions did Yue Lengqiu want to ask Lin Fu, and why did he want me to get involved?
When I opened the first secret book, it turned out to be a confession book.
Yue Lengqiu took all the responsibilities on himself for Xiao Taoyuan's rebellion, his failure to suppress the bandits, and his failure to supervise the transportation of grain. Please resign from the post of Governor of Jianghuai.
Liu Tingzhou thought that Yue Lengqiu was still very determined. He knew that Lin Fu would not allow him to continue to ride on his head, and the condition he offered was to resign as governor of Jianghuai.
Since Yue Lengqiu took all the blame for these things on his head and handed over the certificate, Zhang Xie could not protect him, so there was no possibility of going back on his word.
This condition is not unattractive, but if Yue Lengqiu is removed from the position of governor of Jiangdong, it does not mean that Lin Fu will benefit from it. Gu Wuchen will be able to benefit from it. Presumably, with this book, Lin Fu will not be tempted and easily agree to send troops.
Liu Tingzhou opened the second booklet, which actually suggested that the imperial court should appoint a Minister of Jiang Defense, with the same position as the Governor, and recommended Gu Wuchen to be appointed.
The governor of Jianghuai has too much authority, and Yue Lengqiu has been asked to plead guilty. Even if he recommends Gu Wuchen to replace him, it is unlikely that the court will approve it.
It would be more practical to appoint Gu Wuchen as the Minister of Jiangfang Defense or the Governor of Jiangfang.
For the imperial court, this move could also prevent the authority of Jiangdong County from being too concentrated in the hands of the governor of Jianghuai. In fact, it did not greatly increase Gu Wuchen's authority. The imperial court was very likely to allow it.
Gu Wuchen naturally took another step forward and could officially break away from Cheng Yuqian's control, surpass Wang Xueshan, Wang Tian, Yu Xinyuan and others, and become a super local official at the same level as the Governor of Jianghuai and the Minister of War of Jiangning.
For the imperial court, it seemed quite good to form a power structure in the southeast in which Prince Ning, the Chief of the Palace of Prince Ning, the Governor of Jianghuai, the Secretary of the Ministry of War of Jiangning, and the Minister of Jiangfang restrained each other.
Liu Tingzhou felt that the second booklet was already quite substantial, and when he reached for the third booklet, he wondered: Could it be that Yue Lengqiu still felt that the first two booklets could not move Lin Fu's heart?
After thinking about it for a while, I thought maybe, after all, Yue Lengqiu in the second excerpt did not have the decision-making power. He just suggested that he should be appointed Minister of Jiang Defense, whether he should be allowed to be in the imperial court or not.
Liu Tingzhou opened the third booklet. At first glance, he almost threw the secret book away.
Tao Chun was present, and Liu Tingzhou was not in a position to scold Yue Lengqiu for causing harm to Huai'an. He only said: "After the disaster has been quelled, peace will be restored in most areas of Huaidong. Where is the need for permanent envoys? This memorial by Yue Du is absolutely impossible!"
Yue Lengqiu's third excerpt actually suggested that the imperial court should set up a Huaidong system to set up envoys, make Huai'an the administrative seat, and recommend Lin Fu to serve as the governor.
As a local military chief, the zhizhi envoy has the power to control civil servants in prefectures and counties during wartime. They are not permanent and often appear as border towns.
If the disaster was too severe and difficult to control this time, Jiang Ning would not have taken an expedient measure and transferred him to Lin Fu to guard Huaihe River in the name of Jing Kou's envoy.
Generally speaking, the authority of an envoy is not as high as that of an admiral, but the bad thing is that he set a bad example in the Cao family.
Cao Hongfan took advantage of the chaos in the She family to blackmail the court into allowing the Cao family's son to succeed his father. The official position that Cao Yiqu took over from Cao Hongfan was the Guyuan system of setting up an envoy.
As soon as this case started, Yue Lengqiu suggested setting up the Huaidong system and setting up envoys. Lin Fu would later follow the Cao family's example, designate a successor, and submit a petition to the court for approval. The court could not even use this as an excuse to directly use troops against Lin Fu.
With Lin Fu's method, Huaidong made the envoy a common-sense official position, and using Huai'an as his administrative seat, he was able to turn Huai'an Mansion into Lin Fu's private territory!
Liu Tingzhou was deceived about the bravery of six thousand refugees and was very wary of Lin Fu. He felt that Yue Lengqiu's third book was just to save his own life and was going to cause harm to Huai'an.
