"The eldest brother has changed his past and is determined to achieve a career. When he married the Du family, it was inconvenient to walk in Qingzhou and Jiangning, and he never went back to Jiangning to pay respects. After the marriage, he sent his pregnant new wife to Jiangning to serve him.
My parents have been in the military camp all day. Although Qingzhou has many shortcomings compared to Huaidong, my eldest brother is not slacking off at all in Qingzhou." Gu Junxun asked with tears in his eyes, "Qingzhou really can't be defended?"
Lin Fu didn't answer. He took off his coat and got into the quilt next to Jun Xun's delicate body.
"As a woman, I shouldn't say this..." Gu Junxun said with a guilty conscience.
Lin Fu touched Jun Xun's fragrant cheek. She was only twenty-one years old. She was in the prime of youth. In later generations, she would be pampered and pampered. But in this world, she was bound by ethics and education. She could not say a few words for her family.
Be careful and be compassionate and loving.
"You and I, what else should we avoid saying?" Lin Fu took Jun Xun into his arms and let her rest her head on his chest, lying on her side. He could feel her breasts pressing against his ribs.
With his heart beating, he said, "I also know Si Yuan's hard work in Qingzhou, but if I stand up to support Si Yuan this time, I will actually be harming him!"
"..." Gu Junxun leaned half of his body against Lin Fu's strong body, raised his head, and looked at Lin Fu in confusion.
"Jiang Ning supports the formation of the Qingzhou Army. Naturally, he will not let the Qingzhou Army retreat to the inside. Siyuan must at least deploy the main force to the north of Qingzhou, and even advance to the Yangxin line to satisfy Jiang Ning," Lin Fu said, "
If the Liang family can defend Jinan, it will be safe for Siyuan to lead his troops to Yangxin. The key is that I am not optimistic about the Liang family..."
"Don't the Liang family have 50,000 or 60,000 elites available?" Gu Junxun asked.
"If you have soldiers, you must also have food," Lin Fu said. "Zhongzhou was once a large county with tens of millions of people. However, it was ruined by the war that lasted for several years. It included Jinzhong, western Shandong, and Dinghu
There are almost no survivors, especially the local clans. Once these areas are allowed to infiltrate, even if they can be defended, they will be isolated cities... Once Siyuan leads his troops to Yangxin, he will actually be defeated.
Opportunities for the Liang family to shrink southward."
Gu Junxun grew up in front of Tang Haoxin. Tang Haoxin also doted on her and rarely used nuptials to restrain her, which made her more exposed to political affairs than ordinary women. So Lin Fu patiently explained, so she could understand to some extent.
.
"Rights and obligations are always equal," Lin Fu continued. "At this time, Siyuan has two options: advance and retreat in Qingzhou. He can lead his troops to Yangxin to compete for military exploits; once Yangxin cannot defend it, he can also lead his troops back.
, no one will harshly demand that he must keep Yangxin. To be honest, it is not difficult to support Si Yuan to take the position of Qingzhou envoy, and it is not difficult to even support Master Taishan to be evenly matched with Yue Lengqiu in Jiangning - but such a situation
Come on, Siyuan has no choice but to defend Yangxin..."
Once the Liang family shrinks southward, and Gu Siyuan leads the hastily formed Qingzhou Army in front, there will be dangers. Gu Junxun, a woman who is not familiar with military affairs, can also understand.
Gu Junxun lay on Lin Fu's chest and whispered: "I didn't think so much to complain about you, I..."
"..." Lin Fu pinched Jun Xun's nose lovingly and said, "I will write a letter to explain the powerful relationship to your father, Si Yuan. Huaidong currently does not support Si Yuan's defense of Qingzhou.
, it’s hard to say now whether your father and Si Yuan will listen and what decision they will make. Of course, your father and Si Yuan have decided to defend Qingzhou, and Huaidong cannot stand idly by..." At this point, Lin Fu said again
Sighing, he said, "If Siyuan remains the same as before, I have nothing to worry about. There is nothing wrong with retreating when faced with difficulties. With Lord Taishan here, Siyuan's wealth will be indispensable. I am even more worried that he will know
It’s hard to retreat!”
Marriage is a type of political alliance. The interests of political alliances cannot be completely consistent with each other. Unless they eventually break up, they must remain consistent in the general direction.
Although the differences between them are getting bigger and bigger, just like Lin Fu was determined to take the post of Hailing prefect, but Gu Wuchen didn't agree and finally chose to support it, today Gu Wuchen and Gu Siyuan are determined to defend Qingzhou, and Huaidong doesn't agree but in the end
will choose to support them.
Of course, even with the strong support of Huaidong, the salt and silver from the two Huaihe Rivers cannot completely flow to Qingzhou. If Gu Siyuan can account for more than one-third, it is a very optimistic result.
Lin Fu stayed overnight in Gu Junxun's room without saying anything. He got up early the next day and summoned Lin Mengde, Qin Chengzu, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Hu Zhicheng, Zhou Guangnan, Wang Chengfu and other core figures in Chongzhou to discuss the matter.
.
"The resources of Huaidong are bound to ensure military expansion in eastern Zhejiang," Qin Chengzu said. "Only by dragging down and crippling the She family, and only by ensuring the stability of the southern front, can we finally defeat the Donghu people; secondly,
The key is to protect Huaisi, especially with the unstable factor of Xuzhou. Huaidong cannot place its hopes on being able to defend Yangxin and Qingzhou - it is best if Mr. Gu can persuade him. If he cannot be persuaded, the two sides will not be able to persuade him.
Huaidong cannot completely control the flow of Huai salt and silver. Rather than flowing into other people's pockets and using it in Qingzhou, it is not the worst choice..."
Lin Fu looked at the others. Others were unwilling to waste Huaidong's resources on Shou Yangxin. On Qingzhou, this was the same as the dispersion of troops. Resources should be concentrated and utilized as much as possible.
As for the salt and silver from the Lianghuai River, Huaidong cannot get it. Instead of giving it to others, it is better to give it to Qingzhou, which comes from the same source.
Once Gu Siyuan is in Yangxin, Qingzhou cannot hold it, and the remaining troops retreat south, which can also serve as Huaidong's outer barrier; in addition, Qingzhou and Yangxin are also part of Huaidong's flank front.
"Should we send someone to ask Qinghe and Ziang for their opinions?" Lin Mengde asked.
"Zi'ang and Mr. Fu probably have the same opinion," Lin Fu sighed and said, "Uncle Mengde, go find Zhao Qinmin and tell him Huaidong's opinion without any reservations..."
Lin Meng had to go to the post house to find Zhao Qinmin, but at that moment, the post horse rode into Chongcheng, bringing the news that the Datong defenders had surrendered after running out of food.
Lin Mengde hurriedly told Zhao Qinmin about Huaidong's opinions in the post house, and then went to Dongya with Zhao Qinmin. Lin Fu was in the side hall, lying on the wall to the north of the side hall, changing the Datong logo on the map to represent the Donghu people
of vermilion.
The map hanging on the north wall of the side hall marked the situation so clearly and so shockingly.
The fall of Datong after holding on for seven months meant that the passage for the Donghu people to enter western Hebei from the northwest of Yanshan Mountain was completely opened. Most of northern Shanxi, northern Taihang Mountains and western Hebei also fell. Yanjing and Xuanfu in the north were completely reduced to isolated cities.
The Donghu gathered nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jidong (Jingdong), like a heavy and sharp sword hanging there, cutting off the connection between Yanjing and Jinhai. In the northwest of Shanxi, more and more Yanxi Hu tribes went south
Participate in the war and form an active blockade against the Cao family's troops advancing eastward.
After the fall of Datong, the Cao family lost the motivation and support to advance eastward. Once the Cao family shrinks to Guanzhong, it means that the Eastern captives can mobilize more troops from the western front to attack southern Shanxi or enter Yannan.
Completely blocking the Liang family and Tao Chun's troops from the outside.
Seeing Zhao Qinmin and Lin Mengde come in, Lin Fu threw away the charcoal and said: "The Donghu people in Jidong are only trying to encircle the points to provide reinforcements. In the short term, they will neither attack Jinhai nor Yan.
Beijing, but unless one hundred thousand elites can be organized to land from Tianjin Sea, Yanjing can no longer save..."
At this time, not to mention drawing 100,000 elite troops from the southern front to move north, even if all Huaidong's troops in eastern Zhejiang are drawn out, it is likely to lead to a complete collapse of the southern defense line. Regardless of whether the emperor is in Yanjing or not, abandoning Yanjing is already the time.
A pragmatic choice.
Zhao Qinmin and Lin Mengde were both silent.
"Uncle Meng De should have told Mr. Zhao about Huaidong's opinions," Lin Fu put his hands behind his back and said, "I will support whatever decision Jia Yue and Si Yuan make in the end."
"Yes, I will go back to Jiangning immediately." Zhao Qinmin said.
"No, Mr. Zhao should stay in Chongzhou first and let Uncle Mengde chat with you for two more days. I'll send a letter to Jia Yue and Si Yuan!" Lin Fu said.
"That's fine." Zhao Qinmin said. He didn't know what the final decision of Gu Wuchen and his son would be. As a retainer, he couldn't interfere with the final decision.
Although wealth and wealth can be found in danger, the worse the situation is, the more Gu Siyuan can establish great achievements in Qingzhou, but it is very difficult to defend Qingzhou. In addition to Qingzhou's foundation being too far behind Huaidong, Gu Siyuan's reputation cannot be compared with Lin Fu
, more to inherit the political legacy left by Tang Haoxin in Qingzhou - he must go north to assist Gu Siyuan. Lin Fu meant that Lin Mengde wanted to tell him more about Huaidong's political affairs, hoping to help him in the end.
Guarding Qingzhou can help.
Lin Fu then said to the attendant standing at the door: "Send someone to call Sun Ganzi over!"
*************
Sun Zhuang withdrew from the Luohe Mountain battlefield due to his injury, so he returned to Chongcheng to recuperate. He still has difficulty walking and only has a casual position in the Military Intelligence Department. He wanted to lead troops to fight more, but he was very dissatisfied with military intelligence analysis and other matters.
Being patient, he spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, and the days faded away. The Military Intelligence Department also considered that his recovery was the most important thing, so they did not restrain him and allowed him to live freely in Chongzhou City.
Tang Shuen's beloved concubine gave birth to a son when he was guarding Suining since Yuntiguan was occupied by him. She became pregnant again at the beginning of the year and was later brought to Chongzhou. Tang Shuen has always wanted to give birth to this beautiful little woman.
However, Lin Fu signed a military marriage order at the beginning of the year, and the actions of officials and gentry to seize the generals' wives and concubines by force were serious crimes of beheading, so Tang Shuen gave up his mind. Together with his blind old mother, Sun Zhuang was there.
Chongcheng can be regarded as having a home. Two veterans with broken legs who can no longer go to war have been taken in to work as servants in the house. They have been taken care of by Zhang Gou's family, and they have settled down in Chongzhou.
Zhang Gou became the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang East and South Camp in the direction of Luohe Mountain. He wrote back and asked the eldest son of his family to learn the art of war and swordsmanship from Sun Zhuang. Sun Zhuang's resentment towards Zhang Gou remained, but his mother and his wife
He benefited from the Zhang family and helped talk to him. He was upset after hearing this, so he took a family member to a tavern on the street to drink and relieve his boredom.
When Lin Fu wanted to see Sun Zhuang, the Dongya guards ran to Sun's house and searched all the big and small taverns in Chongcheng with Sun's family who was missing his leg, and then found a drunk man in a small shop in the corner of an alley.
He - helped him get on the horse and rushed to Dongya.
When Lin Fu saw the drunken Sun Zhuang coming in, he frowned and said, "A drunken man is so stinky that he can't bear the heavy responsibility. Let's replace him with someone else..." and wanted to drive Sun Zhuang out.
