In this era where loyal kings are used as memorials, Lin Xuwen never expected that Lin Fu would be so bold as to use King Qin as a cover to deceive everyone. He held the letter that Lin Fu left for him in his hand and was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
He came, handed the letter to Huang Jinnian, and asked: "Envoy Lin Zhizhi has temporarily left Jinhai for business. It will take three to five days to come back. If you leave this letter behind, Mr. Huang, what do you think we should do?"
How could it be that he had been away for three to five days? Huang Jinnian was not a fool. At this moment, he wanted to swallow Lin Fusheng. Then he thought again: Lin Fu left and left. King Huaidong Qin's army, which was originally planned to come by sea, could not be counted on, but there was
One thing is certain, Lin Fu, Lin Xuwen and others will not give up guarding Jinhai easily.
Thinking of being here at this time, Huang Jinnian asked worriedly: "Is General Zhou Pu still in Jinhai?" If Zhou Pu also left with his cavalry, it would mean that Lin Fu had completely given up on Jinhai, and he would do everything possible to think of it.
If you want to save your life, how can you feel like hating this or that...
"Seventeen said in the letter that the Huaidong Cavalry Camp is under my control in Jinhai. Naturally, the Cavalry Camp will not be transferred away..." Lin Xuwen said, but he also felt a little uneasy. Lin Fu did not discuss such a big matter in advance.
He revealed a little bit of news. If Lin Fu panicked again in the letter, who would he go to to complain?
Thinking of this, Lin Xuwen glanced at Sun Shangwang and saw that he also had a confused look on his face. He thought he had just learned about this, so he discussed with Huang Jinnian: "Should we call everyone together to discuss..."
As long as his own life is not in danger, especially at this time when everyone is tied to the broken ship in Jinhai, everything must be done to protect Jinhai. Huang Jinnian will not bother to pursue Lin Fu's crime of deceiving the emperor. It will not be his turn to pursue him.
Investigate——Huang Jinnian nodded in frustration and said: "Mr. Lin, you can make arrangements..."
Lin Xuwen ordered the attendants in the official hall and said: "Send the order from me and Mr. Huang to ask the generals above the Zhaowu School Lieutenant and officials above the seventh rank in the city to come to the official hall to discuss matters. No information here must be leaked..."
At this time, the door attendant notified Wu Qi, and Zhou Pu and Ma Yigong asked to see him.
Hearing that Wu Qi and Zhou Pu were still in Jinhai, Lin Xuwen breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt unhappy at the thought of hiding such a big thing.
Sun Shangwang didn't know about Lin Fu's plan, but Wu Qi and Zhou Pu definitely knew about it.
Wu Qi, Zhou Pu, and Ma Yigong walked in, and Ma Yigong couldn't hide the shock on his face. Lin Xuwen thought that he must have just returned from Wu Qi, and Zhou Pu knew that Lin Fuyu secretly left Jinhai last night.
, said in a calm voice: "General Wu, come here!" He walked to the side hall first, waited for Wu Qi to follow, and asked in a low voice, "Huaidong is really bold. Why didn't you say anything about such a big thing?
"
"Your Excellency is just asking me to explain something to the eldest son," Wu Qi said respectfully, "This plan is very dangerous. If the information is leaked, the plan will not be sold. There are only two or three people in Chongzhou who know the whole plan. Everything in the direction of Chongzhou is based on the north of Qin Wang.
Make preparations. I only found out about your lord's plan yesterday. This is one reason. Secondly, this plan is very dangerous. If the plan is not sold, it will be hard to escape the crime of deceiving the emperor and being deceived. Your Excellency does not want to kill the eldest son without leaving any room.
The Lin family is involved..."
"Alas..." Lin Xuwen sighed. If he had known that Lin Fu had such a plan from the beginning, he might have persuaded him to give up the idea.
Who would have thought that the situation in the north would fall into such a predicament all of a sudden. Now more than 50,000 captives have leaked in and are trapped in the eastern Hebei area. Linyu, Jizhou, Changli and other pass cities are in danger. Don't say that the communication route is interrupted, you know The only people in Jinhai who were making fun of King Qin were Lin Fu. Even if the news spread to Yanjing, what ability would the imperial court have to pursue Lin Fu for deceiving the emperor and worrying about his superiors?
"Are you thinking about the luxury family?" Lin Xuwen asked again in a lowered voice.
"Yes," Wu Qi said, "My elders said that the terrain in the north is dangerous, and it is a unique opportunity for the She family. It is impossible for the She family not to take advantage of the situation in the south. If there is a loss in Jiangdong, even if Jiangdong is lost, even if it is forced to move east this time, If the prisoners are beaten back, it will be difficult to restore the situation!"
Lin Xuwen had long thought that Huaidong would not place his chips in the north, but Lin Fu was too real in his acting. Furthermore, no one thought that he would be bold enough to use King Qin as a cover to deceive others, so he was deceived like this - at this time, Wu heard that Qi said this, and Lin Xuwen also felt that if the southern line was penetrated by the She family, what would be the use of their hard work in Jinhai?
Not to mention Huaidong, the Lin family's foundation is also in the south.
In addition to being a little unhappy at being deceived, Lin Xuwen also hoped that Lin Fu would look south first for the fundamental interests of the Lin family.
If Jinhai cannot be defended, we can still retreat to the south by sea. Looking at the current situation, the situation in the north is already difficult to recover. At this time, it is even more important for the south to be stable and not cause a big mess.
"When Shi Qi left, did you say how to defend Jinhai?" Lin Xuwen asked again.
"We need to evacuate all the people in Hejian to Cangzhou before Donglu reacts!" Wu Qi said, "Then we have to wait for news from the south - if Yanjing can hold it, it may not be able to hold it, but when the south is stable After coming down, we must gradually evacuate the refugees from Jinhai City to the south! Maybe in the end we have to abandon Jinhai City!"
A small city has the advantage of a small city, like Yangxin, which can be tightly guarded with three or four thousand people, but the city cannot accommodate many refugees. A large city has the advantage of a large city, just like the moats built around Jinhai City , can barely accommodate nearly 300,000 people to take refuge in it, but such a city must have a small number of defensive troops, and at the same time, there should be no weak points that can be penetrated.
Once the Donglu take control of the Jidong region, they will definitely not tolerate the presence of such a close friend on their flanks. Once the Donghu people concentrate their forces to attack Jinhai, it will not be that simple to defend Jinhai.
Whether Jinhai will be defended or abandoned in the end depends on the development of the situation. However, Yanjing has not yet fallen, and when the imperial court still has tens of thousands of capable soldiers and horses in the capital, with the Tianjin Navy and the Huaidong Cavalry Battalion as the main force, it is better to defend Jinhai. No big problem.
Lin Xuwen exchanged opinions with Wu Qi, and then returned to the main hall. Almost all the generals and officials in Jinhai City gathered in the official hall.
In any case, there are only a few people who really know the details.
Even if there is no fear that the court will investigate Huaidong for deceiving Wangshang in the future, it is impossible to publicize it publicly, as that would severely damage the morale of the Tianjin navy and civilians defending the city.
Ordinary generals and officials only knew that Lin Fu temporarily left Jinhai to go to Shandong to supervise transportation and the army.
Once the Jinghai Division at the mouth of the Bohai Sea fully shrinks and moves southward, and the troop transport ships are still reluctant to go northward through the mouth of the Bohai Sea, the Donghu people will naturally understand that the Huaidong Army's northward movement of King Qin is a plan to attack the east and attack the west, and the captive troops in the east of Hebei will naturally Will penetrate and cut into the hinterland of Hejian Mansion without any scruples.
The most urgent thing at hand is to adjust the defense deployment of Jinhai before the Donghu people react. The troops scattered on the periphery are fully reduced to the two cities of Jinhai and Cangzhou. Relying on the sea route, they try their best to secure these two cities.
Huang Jinnian, Chen Wenden and other officials had nothing to say about Lin Fu's withdrawal from Jinhai. The most important thing at the moment was to cooperate with Lin Xuwen to defend Jinhai.
After the military meeting was over, all the generals were ordered to adjust their deployments. Wu Qi followed Gao Zongting and walked out, shouting: "Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao..."
Gao Zongting stopped and waited for Wu Qi to come over.
"My lord says that the one who can know others must be Mr. Gao," Wu Qi said, "This matter involves confidentiality. If there is any mistake, and I couldn't inform you in advance, my lord wants me to apologize to Mr. Gao on my behalf!"
"Knowing that Lin Zhi sent an envoy to Jinhai, the commander-in-chief is also the commander-in-chief," Gao Zongting sighed slightly. "Knowing that Lin Zhi-zhi's envoy came to Jinhai, the commander-in-chief insisted that I come to Jinhai with Quanshan and Dingbang. Dingbang has a stubborn temper and will live and die.
I had to stay in the capital to take care of the Commander-in-Chief - the Commander-in-Chief lost his temper at Dingbang's insistence, but couldn't get rid of him in the end. I was a little confused about this at first, but then I figured it out: The Commander-in-Chief had figured it out from the beginning.
, Yanjing will be in a desperate situation, Lin Zhizhi will not bet all Huaidong's chips in the north - this difference separates heaven and man..."
Having said this, Gao Zongting couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
"Chen Zhihu is still in Yanjing, and the imperial court relies heavily on him. Li Bingbu should be able to have no envy!" Wu Qi said.
"After all, the commander-in-chief is not Lin Zhizhi. The commander-in-chief knows everything in his heart, but he always crosses the threshold in his heart, causing him to be restrained by traitors everywhere. Hao Zongcheng, Zhang Xie and others know where the weaknesses of the commander-in-chief are.
, Chen Zhihu is a martial artist, how can he protect the commander-in-chief even in the capital?" Gao Zongting said.
Wu Qi sighed inwardly, and without any advice, he and Gao Zongting split up to deal with the things at hand.
On the 17th, the prisoners of the East were surrendered at the request of Yang Wenchang, the former minister of the Provincial Bureau. After holding on for half a month, the general of Changli opened the gate of Changli and led his troops to surrender to Ye Jiduo. He accumulated about 20 grains.
The Changli military warehouse containing thousands of stones and a large amount of armor and weapons fell completely into the hands of the Donghu people.
In addition to the 50,000 cavalry who entered the pass early and gathered around Changli to attack the city in northeastern Hebei, Yejier also personally led 30,000 horse infantry to Linyu Pass and attacked from the south with Nahe Xiongqi's troops.
Linyu Pass.
By this time, the strategy of the Donghu people was also undoubtedly exposed, which was to first concentrate their forces to capture the peripheral cities and military fortresses in Yanji and other places, open up the passage from western Liaoning into Yanji, and then besiege Yanjing for a long time. As long as the supply of food and grass is not a problem
, the Donghu people will never retreat easily outside the pass this time.
On the same day, Lin Fu and Song Jia took the Jinhai and arrived at the Xicheng Mountain Island at the mouth of the Bohai Sea, where they joined the fleet of the Jinghai No. 1 Water Camp that had entered here earlier.
Also on this day, the troop transport fleet of Huaidong King Qin's army, escorted by the Jinghai Second Water Battalion, arrived at the mouth of the Bohai Sea...
The ship's masts are like a wall. Standing at the head of Jinzhou City in the southeast corner of Liaoning, you can clearly see the sea area with sails and masts like clouds, covering the sky - after the Jinghai Navy forcefully entered, the Goryeo Navy was forced to withdraw from this sea area.
, retreated to Hanyang Mansion to rest.
At least at this moment, the news that the Huaidong Army marched northward to King Qin further confirmed the situation at hand. The Donghu people's fast cavalry galloped out from Jinzhou, notifying the soldiers and horses in western Liaoning and the eastern Hebei region to be careful and alert to the Huaidong Army's arrival from Jinhai.
shore.
Lin Fu stood on the desolate Xicheng Mountain Island with his hands behind his hands, looking at the endless southern sky. He lowered his voice and said to Qin Chengzu, Ao Canghai, Zhao Qingshan and other generals beside him: "This time I can't kill a member of the She family.
Support your arm, there will be no such opportunity in the future..."
"Looking at the time, Qinghe should return to Chongzhou from Shengsi to convey your secret order!" Qin Chengzu said, "I just don't know if the She family's military deployment in eastern Zhejiang has changed!"
"We can't control too much. Whether the She family's military strength in eastern Zhejiang changes or not, we will have to fight this battle!" Lin Fu said, "Send the order to go south!"
