"Give up Dongping? Is that really what Zhuzi said?"
The old, noisy voice was a little trembling, like the rustling of the window paper in the autumn wind, with the coldness of the first winter.
Queen Mother Liang's eye disease became more and more serious. In the dimly lit room, she could only vaguely see the figure of Yuan Guizheng sitting opposite. Liang's body became increasingly weak and she was bedridden all year round. Then Yuan Guizheng came over and she
He was also half-lying on the soft couch, but when he heard the news brought by Yuan Guizheng, he got up excitedly.
Now the person trapped in Dongping is no one else but his brother Liang Xi who has been dependent on each other since childhood. At this time, Lin Fu was not only unwilling to send troops to aid Dongping, but also suggested that Dongping should be abandoned here. How could she treat it calmly?
Yuan Guizheng looked bitter and said: "Guizheng dare not hide anything..."
"This is also a crime!" Empress Dowager Liang excitedly patted the carved armrests of the couch and looked up to the sky and sighed, "The Liang family has been full of misdeeds over the years, and now it is her turn to commit a crime. Who can blame her?
ah!"
Yuan Guizheng saw Empress Dowager Liang leaning forward, her skinny hands showing blue veins slapping and beating on the carved handrail, as if she had no idea about the situation in front of her, so he followed her tone and said: "Lin Fuyan gave up.
The situation in Dongping is also pressing. If Chen Hansan is eliminated early, the situation will not be so dangerous; Chen Hansan is like a nail piercing the heart of Hehuai, and no one dares to act rashly. Cheng Chong is also facing enemies from both sides in Jining, and is very
The difficulty..."
Queen Mother Liang closed her eyes in pain. In the past, it was no one else who did not want Huaidong to remove Chen Hansan. It was the Liang family who occupied Shandong who needed Chen Hansan to stay in Xuzhou as a buffer force between Shandong and Huaidong. How could he have thought of it?
Will you be trapped in a cocoon today?
Yuan Guizheng smiled bitterly in his heart. In order to quell the chaos in Huaisi, Yue Lengqiu recruited Chen Hansan as a temporary measure. After recruiting him, he took all kinds of precautions. In addition, Chen Hansan was accustomed to betrayal, and the Yanhu army swept away.
Come on, it is really delusional to think that Chen Hansan can be loyal to the court.
Chen Hansan may have secretly colluded with Yanhu for a long time. He has 20,000 elite troops in Xuzhou, which is located between Jining, Woyang, and Huaiyang. Not only Huaidong and Huaixi do not dare to act rashly, but even Liang Chengchong is in Jining.
It's like thorns on the back, and it's hard to stay in the dormitory. If it weren't for his father Liang Cheng who was besieging Dongping, Liang Chengchong would have abandoned Jining and left west.
Jiang Ning had previously ordered the Changhuai Army to relieve the siege of Dongping, but Lin Fu clearly expressed his support for the Changhuai Army to withdraw into Huaixi. It is conceivable that no one, including Yue Lengqiu, who had just resigned from the post, would not mind Changhuai.
The army conserves its strength at this time.
In fact, the troops and horses that could break the siege of Dongping at this time were: the Huai army led by Tao Chun, with as many as 50,000 troops; and the troops stationed in Guoyang, led by Dong Yuan, with about 30,000 troops.
First, there are nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses from Huaiyang Town stationed in Huaisi in Huaidong to be controlled by Huaidong.
Dong Yuan's troops were quite mixed, with the main force coming from the imperial army who had hardly experienced any war. Their combat strength was quite weak, and it was difficult to confront the Yanhu cavalry in the relatively open Hehuai Plain.
The Changhuai Army can be said to be one of the few elite troops in Jiangning. It was originally based on the elite of the East Fujian Army. Under the leadership of Yue Lengqiu, it has been suppressed for many years and has many elite soldiers and generals.
However, the Changhuai Army has repeatedly expanded in recent years, and its armor supply and personnel training are inevitably insufficient. Moreover, they are all infantry. It is really uncertain whether they can compete with Yanhu's elite infantry and cavalry in a head-on confrontation in the Hehuai Plain.
It is not difficult to understand that Jiang Ning did not want to lead the Huai army to consume the drama, so Yuan returned to power.
To solve the siege of Dongping, the most reliable people to rely on are the soldiers and horses stationed in Huaisi and Huaiyang Town in Huaidong——
The Huaiyang Town Army formed by recruiting Liu Miaozhen's Red Coat Army were almost all Liu An'er's survivors. Liu An'er rebelled and was killed by Chen Hansan, and his troops suffered heavy casualties. In the end, they were almost reduced to a desperate situation where Chen Zhihu killed them all. Almost every time
Everyone has a blood feud with Chen Hansan.,
Xuzhou and Huaiyang are connected on the border. If Chen Hansan is not eliminated or driven out of Xuzhou, it is difficult to imagine that the main force of the Huaiyang town army originally intended to go north to aid Dongping, and then the three cities of Huaiyang with empty defenses were exposed to Chen Hansan.
Under the nose.
The reason behind this is that even Miao Shuo, who is standing by and waiting, can understand that the Liang family has trapped itself in a cocoon and left Chen Hansan to create a disaster in Xuzhou. The siege of Dongping is really a life-threatening situation. Listening to Yuan Guizheng's tone,
Rather, I want to abandon Dongping and Liang Xi, the Duke of Lu.
The dark cold room was silent for a long time. Empress Dowager Liang stood up and asked Yuan Zhengzheng again: "If the Huaidong soldiers advance to Yinan, will my unlucky brother have a chance to survive?"
Yuan Guizheng said: "The Huaidong Army marches to Yinan and should be able to contain part of the enemy's forces..."
"Just talk to Lin Fu about this condition," Empress Dowager Liang waved her hand feebly and said in frustration, "Send someone to talk to Cheng Chong and Cheng Yi again. The idea is for me, a useless old woman, to take it."
Yes, even if their father cannot escape, the two brothers must live up to their expectations and not be looked down upon by outsiders..."
Yuan Guizheng nodded and left with Miao Shuo accompanying him. He really didn't know how useful it would be to go to Lin Fu again.
Although Yinan was still the territory of the Liang family at this time, in fact, if Liang Chengchong wanted to withdraw, he could only retreat westward.
Jiangning has officially classified the area west of Bianshui River as a war zone under Huaidong's jurisdiction. Yinan is almost in Huaidong's pocket. When Yuan returned to power, what confidence did he have to use Yinan as an exchange for Huaidong?
Send troops into Yinan immediately?
Yuan returned to power and returned, requesting that Huaidong send troops to Yinan.
Of course, if Huaidong wants to successfully take over Yinan, it must send troops there before Liang Cheng rushes to retreat to the west. However, how many enemy troops can be contained depends on the number of troops stationed in Yinan.
Huaiyang Town was almost immobile, and the troops Lin Fu could mobilize in Huaisi were extremely limited. Lin Fu only promised to send troops to Yinan in the near future, but did not promise how many troops to send.
After Yuan Guizheng left, Lin Fu also made some preparations to supervise the battle in Beihuaisi before leaving. He went back to Beilu Yaju where Jun Xun lived early from Dongya.
Gu Junxun moved down the mountain, Liu Yue'er, and Xiao Man all moved down one after another. They built a house at the northern foot of Zilang Mountain as the inner house, and built thick protective walls around it, so the guards were naturally very tight.
Chongcheng developed extremely rapidly. The new city built in the early years could not accommodate nearly 40,000 urban households. Large residential areas were planned and built outside the East City and Beicheng. Lin Mengde, Qin Chengzu and others even built new buildings on the periphery.
A plan to build a city wall comparable in scale to Weiyang, Jiangning and other cities.
Lin Fu finally rejected this idea. Firstly, building a solid city wall with a circumference of thirty to forty miles would be very wasteful; secondly, once the inner line is broken through, there is really not much difference between one more city wall and one less city wall.
When I walked to Beilu Yaju, I walked in through the door and almost bumped into Sun Wenwan in the hanging flower hall.
"Sir, are you going north in the next two days?" Sun Wenwan asked softly.
"Yes," Lin Fu nodded, and when he was about to chat with Sun Wenwan, Xiaoman walked out of the room after hearing the voice and said, "My husband is back?"
Sun Wenwan bowed and left. Xiaoman glanced at her back, then gently took Lin Fu's arm and walked in, saying: "Mr. Wu is here. Sister Yue'er has been feeling unwell these past few days. It's just as you said.
You are pregnant again, you are half a doctor..."
"That's okay?" Lin Fu said with a smile, "I was involved in the art of first aid in the military. Besides, I am the father of two children. You can always tell if Yue'er is unhappy or not.
Those eyebrows..." Seeing the slightly lonely look on Xiaoman's eyebrows, knowing that she was worried about her lack of children, he pinched her delicate chin and asked with a smile: "Why, are you anxious to have a child?"
"It's said that even old hens can lay eggs..." Xiaoman responded gloomily.
Although it had been several years since he had brought Xiaoman into his room, Xiaoman was only in his twenties. If in later generations he was still in Zhaohua's prime, Lin Fu would have wanted her to have children in a few years, so he deliberately avoided Yi when they had sex with her.
On the day of conception, she did not expect that it would cause her psychological burden and make her depressed.
Lin Fu smiled and took Xiaoman into his arms and said, "That's because we used to get together less and stay apart more often. In the future, you will always stay by my side, and it will become..."
"I do, but you are going to Shanyang in two days. I don't know how many days it will take to see you." Xiaoman was still depressed when he thought about parting, so he just hugged Lin Fu's waist under the eaves.
, until he heard the voices of Gu Junxun and Liu Yue'er talking, he reluctantly let go of his hand.
Seeing Gu Junxun and Liu Yue'er walking hand in hand as close as sisters, Lin Fu put his hands on his hips and said: "The war on the northern front is going to be long-lasting. Once I leave, I don't know how long I will live in the north. Fortunately, Shan
Yang has also prepared a house over there, so you can move there with me."
His trip to Shanyang this time was to formally establish the Shanyang Xingying Yamen in Shanyang, including the Military Intelligence Department, the Northern Department, the War Training School, etc. There will be a team of people starting from Sun Jingtang, Gao Zongting, and Ye Junan.
They all went north with him to deal with the war on the northern front, and it was no longer a temporary war supervision.
Lin Fu even wanted to go one step further and designate Shanyin as the first county of Huai'an Prefecture, and move the Huai'an Prefecture government office from Huai'an County to Shanyin County.
Lin Fu didn't want to be separated from his wives and concubines for a long time, so he thought of taking them to live together.
Gu Junxun shook his head and said: "How can I leave my mother's child alone in Chongzhou? Besides, Huaidong will always be based on Chongzhou. I am a womanly person and have no great use. If I stay in Chongzhou, I will always
Those who can help you calm down - let Sister Yue'er and Xiaoman accompany you to Shanyang."
"Why should I go to Shanyang with him with a big belly?" Liu Yuer held her slightly bulging belly. Even though she wanted to go to Shanyang, she finally decided to stay in Chongzhou with Gu Junxun.
Xiao Man remained silent and looked pitifully at Liu Yue'er and Gu Junxun. She wanted to follow them to Shanyang, but was afraid that she wouldn't be able to go alone.
Liu Yue'er smiled and said: "There must be someone taking care of your husband, Xiaoman, just follow him. You can't ask Miss Song to do everything!"
After experiencing so many things, Gu Junxun has matured. As the mistress, she has to manage the inner house for Lin Fu. She can no longer compete with others and have to sacrifice a lot. She said: "Xiao Man is taking care of my husband, and Yue'er and I are here."
Sister can rest assured in Chongzhou..."
Xiaoman turned his head and looked at Lin Fu with a smile on his face. Lin Fu couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't expect that Liu Yue'er, who was usually the most docile, would try to tease him - he couldn't categorically deny the "adultery" between him and Song Jia.
Xiaoman thought that if he could go to Shanyang with him, he would not compete with others for forest ties during his stay in Chongzhou. After dinner, he and Liu Yuer went back early.
Gu Junxun and Lin Fu were sitting in the room talking, and said: "These years have passed in the blink of an eye. When the Sun family sister met you, she was only eighteen years old. She is already twenty-three this year. Her marriage cannot be delayed forever.
What do you think we should do? There is also the matter of the Su family sister..."
Lin Fu pursed his lips, thinking of how he bumped into Sun Wenwan when he came back.
At first, Su Mei wanted to get along with him and Sun Wenwan, but things were unpredictable, and many things happened by mistake. In order to take care of the affairs of the Xihe Society, Sun Wenwan didn't have a family until she was eighteen years old.
The older woman is left behind.
However, when the Sun family settled in Chongzhou, they were already a well-established family in Huaidong. If the Sun family was willing to marry, other families would not care about Sun Wenwan's age. However, her marriage was delayed, and Lin Fu never
I heard someone mention it.
When Gu Junxun mentioned it at this time, Lin Fu didn't know how to respond.
"Xiao Man will accompany you to Shanyang. We must have some manpower. How about asking Sister Sun to accompany you?" Gu Junxun asked.
"This," Lin Fu was stunned for a moment and said, "I can't decide this either!"
Sun Wenwan has never agreed to marry her, and Lin Fu will not pretend that this matter has nothing to do with him. However, the reputation and status of the Sun family in Huaidong today are far from what they used to be. Lin Fu must respect Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, and always
Sun Wenwan could not be allowed to follow him without fame and status - at this time, the national crisis was looming, his father-in-law Gu Wuchen had just died in Yangxin, and Lin Fu had no shame to marry a wife and take concubines at this time.
