When Sun Zhuang saw that Lin Fu wanted to drive him out, he lamely ran to the yard to get a basin of cold water and poured it on his head. He ran back and said, "It's not on duty. Drinking will not hinder military discipline. I'm sober now. What do I need?"
Just go ahead and come as you are told. If I miss the task, you can chop off my head without any complaint!"
Seeing Sun Zhuang standing in the hall with wet beard and hair, soaking the brick floor all over, others saw the effect of Lin Fu's plan to provoke the generals, and they were somewhat dumbfounded.
"I heard that you were on duty at the Military Intelligence Department, so you ran in to look at this situation map even if you had nothing to do." Lin Fu stood behind the public case with his arms folded, pointing to the map hanging behind him and asked Sun Zhuang, "Just now
A message came from Yiqi that the Datong garrison surrendered, what do you think?"
After Lin Fu came back, he usually handled his official duties in this side hall. The side hall became a forbidden area and no one was allowed to enter unless notified. Normally, he was not so particular. The military intelligence department's prison office was next to this side. Sun Zhuang was in the military intelligence department.
Even if the Secretary has suspended his post as a sinecure, he will not be allowed to come in.
"The officers and soldiers are all such weaklings, why did Datong surrender?" Sun Zhuanghu was surprised when he heard the news that the Datong garrison surrendered, but he would not worry about it if it had nothing to do with him.
Worried about the old emperor who was trapped in Yanjing, he said casually, "The east side of Yanjing is stuck like nails by the Donghu people. If Datong falls again, there will be a tortoise egg in the north? What should I do after drinking Sanhuo wine?"
go."
Since the transfer of Chen Zhihu's troops to the south, although Datong still has nearly 40,000 defenders, there are no elites who can go out of the city to fight in the field. As long as the Donghu people do not withdraw their troops on the periphery, Datong will fall sooner or later... Although some things have been predicted for a long time...
, but it’s still hard to accept that it actually happened.
Lin Fu sat down, threw a sweat towel on the corner of the table to Sun Zhuang, and asked him to wipe the water from his head and face. He didn't mind that he was speaking rudely, and said: "The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough, but what you saw is not bad.
, there is not much hope in the north. Not only is there no hope in the north, you can go to the south of Shanxi and Yanji and take a look - "
From the south of Shanxi to the Yanhe River is the Hehuai Plain. Sun Zhuang knows best what the Hehuai Plain is like. It seems that the Liang family can still muster 50,000 to 60,000 troops in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, but even these 50,000 to 60,000 elites can fight a hundred battles.
The long defense line from Tongguan to the mouth of Zhulong River in Yangxindong is full of holes.
"The Liang family is unreliable. If the Liang family had been reliable, the frontier army wouldn't have suffered such a disastrous defeat -" Sun Zhuang spoke loudly. Both he and Liu An'er were from the frontier army, and they also served as a junior colonel in the frontier army. Although in this life,
He hadn't met Liang Xi, Liang Chengchong and his son yet, but his tone was extremely disdainful, but he stopped abruptly when he said this. He stared at the map on the wall with his eyes like bells. When he looked at Lin Fu again,
With an angry look on his face, he said angrily, "The whole Heze situation is a trap set by you. You want to give Huaidong a backstop!"
"Insolent!" Qin Chengzu, who was standing aside, shouted in a deep voice to stop Sun Zhuang's rude behavior.
When the guards on the side saw Sun Zhuang, they stared at him angrily. They thought he was going to harm Lin Fu and came up to catch him with his sword. Lin Fu waved the guards back and looked at Sun Zhuang calmly and said, "If you arrive,
If you don’t regard yourself as a general of Huaidong today, I can understand your resentment - when I allowed you to lead an army in Suining, it was to separate Huaidong and Xuzhou. You value righteousness and promise.
, is far more trustworthy than Chen Hansan, which is your advantage and also your weakness. Huaidong does not need to station too many troops on the northern front, so that he can free his hands to do other things. You give up Suining and Suyu
, it’s not surprising. Let Liu Miaozhen come in, considering the collapse of the entire northern front and the large-scale influx of Donghu cavalry - the Liang family is unreliable, and Chen Hansan is even more unreliable. I think Liu Miaozhen is more reliable than them.
!" At this point, Lin Fu stood up, looked at Sun Zhuang coldly, and scolded mercilessly, "You stupid head, you idiot, what Zhang Gou has long wanted to understand, Chen
Even if you are a martial artist, you can understand it. Liu Miaozhen and Ma Lantou know it very well in their hearts. But you only suddenly realized it today - you are angry and unwilling! What is your anger and unwillingness? Why do you rebel and kill people?
?”
"..." Sun Zhuang was speechless. When he suddenly thought of Huaidong's overall deployment on the northern line, blood rushed to his head, and he spoke without thinking. At this moment, giving Lin Fu a scolding felt like a slap in the head.
Great!
"Huaidong's work is worthy of heaven and earth, and it is just to bring peace to the people and the land. For these four words, does the blood of Huaidong men bleed less than you? Speaking of scars, do the scars on my body have less than yours?" Lin Fu stroked.
He lifted up his robe sleeves, revealing the arrow scars on his arms, then shook off his robe sleeves and reprimanded, "For decades, natural and man-made disasters have continued, hungry people have exchanged their children for food, and officials have forced the people to rebel. You are angry and unwilling to accept it."
, I can understand that you massacred the city. Liu Miaozhen led his troops and 4 to 500,000 refugees to be chased and slaughtered by Chen Zhihu, Tao Chun, and Chen Hansan. There was no way to go to heaven and no way to escape. I can't bear the death of 4 to 500,000 people.
On the west bank of the water, they risked their lives, tacitly allowed you to let them go eastward, and also asked the children of Huaidong to tighten their stomachs, squeezing out 40,000 shi of rice for Huaisi every month. Why are you angry, why are you unwilling? What does Huaidong have?
I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Liu Miaozhen, I'm sorry for Huai Si's four to five million yuan?"
"I..." Sun Zhuang already knew that Huaidong secretly provided food to Huaisi, so he fell to his knees and said, "The general just talked nonsense..." No matter what Huaidong's plan was, in the Red Coat Army
When there was no way out, it was a great kindness to open up the eastward passage and provide food and relief, so that the four to five million people who were flooded could breathe a little less.
"General Sun served as a junior colonel in the frontier army. He knew how powerful the Donghu people were. He was scared out of his wits a long time ago. Naturally, he saw that Huaidong had ulterior motives." Song Jia smiled brightly next to him, "For such a person, you want to appoint him."
For this important task, I think it would be better to choose someone else as soon as possible!"
"Song Dianshu, please don't slander me. If Sun Zhuang is afraid of death, you are the one who raised him!" Sun Zhuang argued anxiously.
"Bah!" Song Jia didn't expect that this reckless man was uttering nonsense in a hurry. She blushed, spat, and stopped answering his words.
Sun Zhuang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Fu again, saying: "The general will never be afraid of Hu Gouzi. Even if you throw me into the sea now, I will pick a few of Hu Gouzi's heads and give them to you."
Drink!"
"The northern line is broken. The influx of Donghu cavalry is a catastrophe for the people of the world. The people of the world will work together to resist it. I will not avoid it, Master Qin will not avoid it, Song Dianshu will not avoid it, and everyone around you will not avoid it.
The children of Huaidong will not avoid it. Do you think I am setting you up for injustice by letting the Red Coat Army march into Huaisi, in order to harm the Red Coat Army?" Lin Fu asked angrily.
"That's what I thought at first, but when I think about it, I was wrong," Sun Zhuang said.
Song Jia couldn't help but want to laugh. How could anyone else respond like this? What a reckless man.
"In the face of this catastrophic crisis for the people of the world, do you think the Red Coat Army should stay away from them or go directly to the Donghu people?" Lin Fu asked.
"I didn't think so..." Sun Zhuang said.
"Liu Tingzhou and Li Wei represent the imperial court to recruit the Red Coat Army. I also asked Li Wei and Li to explain the situation on the northern front to Liu Miaozhen and Malantou in detail. If Liu Miaozhen and Malantou feel that staying in Huaisi will be used by Huaidong,
You can lead your troops to leave as much as possible, and I will never stop them. I killed the Hu people in Yannan, and the red coat army left, and the children of Huaidong can also block the iron flow of the captives," Lin Fu said, "If the red coat army
Stay and fight side by side with the children of Huaidong to resist foreign aggression - Sun Zhuang, you and Huaidong have been enemies or friends for four or five years. You touch your chest and ask, when did Huaidong stab his family in the back?
, to stumble? In terms of facing the enemy's killing array, when did Huaidong let others stand in front and take the knife, while he hid behind and enjoyed the gains? Or do you mean that you resented me for demoting you as a general because of the loss of the city? "
"I have no resentment. I was confused for a moment," Sun Zhuang said, leaning his head on the brick floor. "I understand now. I was wrong just now. Please spare my life and let me do more for you."
Kill some bastards!"
"Your dog's life is worthless. It's useless for me to come. Stand up and speak." Lin Fu said with his hands on his sleeves. "The Donghu people leaked in. Huaisi is likely to be the main battlefield. Datong has been lost. Let us make preparations."
Time is running out - I will not let the Red Coat Army stand in front unprepared. No matter how tight the fighting is on the southern front, Huaidong will do its best to allocate a batch of supplies to support the Red Coat Army. Once the southern front can draw out
If they have enough troops, they will not hesitate to march north to Huaisi to fight - of course, this requires the Red Coat Army to agree with the imperial court and Jiang Ning's order even in name. The two adults Liu Tingzhou and Li Wei have already discussed with Liu Miaozhen and Ma Lantou
It’s almost time. Mr. Qin will go to Huaisi on my behalf. Mr. Qin will exchange Huaidong’s experience in resisting and attacking the Donghu cavalry without reservation with the generals of the Red Coat Army. I wanted to let you serve as
I think it would be more helpful to the Red Coat Army to command the army to accompany them - your performance just now really disappointed me..."
"I was wrong. Please give me two more whips and let me accompany Mr. Qin there." Sun Zhuang went to his knees and begged Lin Fu not to change his mind.
"You won't make any monsters for me on the road?" Qin Chengzu asked from the side.
"No way, Lord Qin, please rest assured." Sun Zhuang said.
"Go back and tidy up. I'll give you half an hour. After that, don't blame me for waiting for you." Qin Chengzu said.
Sun Zhuang kowtowed, turned around and left. When he returned home, he wanted to inform the blind old woman and the pregnant young woman before leaving.
Watching Sun Zhuang leave, Qin Chengzu said to Lin Fu: "Today we will untie the knot in his heart. From now on, Huaidong will have one more general. If necessary, should we let Sun Zhuang lead an elite force into Huaisi and Hong Kong?"
Are the soldiers fighting side by side?"
Lin Fu nodded and said, "It depends on the situation. I hope the Liang family can handle it for a little longer."
When the situation has developed to this point, the red coat girl and the generals of the Huaisi refugee army have basically accepted Huaidong's suggestions and the court's recruitment. Of course, the estrangement and wariness are difficult to completely eliminate in a short period of time. The death of Liu An'er and the death of Chen Zhihu
The ruthless massacre is two scars that are difficult to erase.
If Huaidong wants to join forces with the Red Coat Army to resist Donghu, and even wants the Red Coat Army to bear more pressure in the early stage, it needs to convince the Red Coat Army to deploy as much as possible in Suining, north of Huaiyang, both in terms of strength and defense lines.
, we should also make more preparations for confrontation with cavalry in the organization and training of soldiers.
Resources are limited, and the resources of the Red Coat Army are even more limited. If Liu Miaozhen and Malantou were always worried that Huaidong would stab him in the back, how could they possibly be fully prepared before Donghu cavalry infiltrated into Huaisi on a large scale?
Sun Zhuang is a key figure. At present, only Sun Zhuang can convince Liu Miaozhen, Malantou and the generals of the Red Coat Army to lower their wariness against Huaidong as much as possible and focus on preparing to resist the Donghu cavalry.
For now, we can only consider whether the coalition forces can be integrated into Huaidong in the future. Sun Zhuang is also a key figure.
When Sun Zhuang, Zhang Gou, Chen Zhi and many other refugee army generals integrate into Huaidong and become important generals relied upon by Huaidong, they can subtly eliminate the sequelae left by Liu An'er's death and attract the generals of the Red Coat Army to take the initiative to Huaidong.
Get closer and put down your guard against Huaidong.
