Lu Guogong Liang Xi benefited from his sister, the Empress Dowager Liang, and became a relative of the emperor and an important minister of the court. After the Sumen case, he was in charge of the border army for nearly ten years. Due to the defeat of Chentangyi, Liang Xi was forced by Emperor Chongguan to hand over his military power and forbearance.
In his hometown, due to the construction of embankments on the Yellow River, the people rose up again. He cut the river, Luxi and other places to become a prince, and he could be called a generation of lords.
In recent years, the Liang family has almost cut off Western Lu and established itself in Hezhong. Its disciples have old officials, and the clan power has become complicated. It has long had the momentum of a feudal lord. Even if the rebellion is over, Yanhu will not be able to use it as highly as Yuan Lishan and Chen Zhihu.
The Liang family - Therefore, the Liang family would not surrender easily, but they could not prevent them from surrendering in order to survive when they were at the end of their rope.
The attitudes towards the Liang family, Huaidong and even Jiangning were divided. First, they forced Liang Chengchong to give up his efforts to relieve the siege of Dongping in order to protect himself.
Not only did Jiang Ning treat Liang Chengyi with caution when guarding Hezhong Mansion, the Cao family also stationed troops at Tongguan to put them on tight alert.
Even though the Cao family brazenly marched into Hanzhong and the two Sichuan provinces formed a rebellion, there was a tacit understanding on the issue of Liang Chengyi.
Hezhong Prefecture (today's Luoyang and other places) was the vassal screen of Guanzhong, and Liang Chengyi guarded Hezhong Prefecture, posing no threat to the Cao family; but if Liang Chengyi surrendered to Yanhu, the Cao family would be the first to leave Tongguan to attack Hezhong Prefecture, so as to prevent Hezhong Prefecture from falling into the hands of Yan
Hu Xi hit the springboard in Guanzhong.
In fact, in the later period, Liang Chengchong gave up saving the siege of Dongping and led his remaining troops to retreat to Nanyang, forming a corner with Hezhong Prefecture. This has become the default situation of all forces. In the end, Liang Xi, who was trapped in Dongping City, surrendered to the rebels.
It has nothing to do with the overall situation, but its impact is not trivial.
At this time, in addition to breaking out and surrendering, Liang Xi can still survive in Dongping as long as he can hold on until Yanhu's soldiers and horses run out of food and retreat - Huaidong and Huaixi have heavy troops north of the Huaihe River, and Yanhu will definitely need to
Dongping can only be surrounded by the main force, which puts great pressure on Yanhu's supply of grain and fodder on the southern front.
Unexpectedly, Liang Xi finally left the scene in this way, which made people sigh with emotion and relieved. Presumably Liang Chengchong would completely abandon Caozhou and evacuate the last thousands of troops to Nanyang.
"Since Dongping has fallen, it is expected that the main force of the Yan captives will withdraw northward from Jinan," Ye Junan said. "According to the series of decrees issued by the Lord Yan in Shannan and Henan, the Yan captives also intend to rest and reorganize on the eastern front.
Xuzhou can also have a chance to recuperate for almost a year and a half, which is quite rare for Huaidong, which has been fighting for years!"
"The Lord of Yan sent Na He Xiongqi out to Zhidengzhou and Qingzhou. Na He Xiongqi was a veteran general who had dealt with us several times. He was also an important figure in Yanlu's advocacy of building a water camp. The Lord of Yan sent him to guard Shandong.
The intention of the peninsula is also obvious," Lin Fu said, "and when He Xiongqi goes to the east, Chen Zhihu is likely to come to the west - Yanlu is switching from offense to defense on the eastern front this time, but in terms of specifics,
Wherever you go, wars will still be frequent and endless..."
"But when Chen Zhihu came, Miaozhen was not afraid," Liu Miaozhen said.
At that time, when the Red Coat Army and the Huaisi People's Army were trapped in Huaiyang, they fought extremely hard against Chen Zhihu. Today, he is also called Malantou, and Li Liang and other generals are still frightened. Many generals who defected to Yan and rebelled, probably Chen Zhihu was called
The person whom people fear the most.
"Huaisi and Yizhou, bordering Tai'an and Qingzhou in the north, will face Yuan Lishan and Nahe Xiongqi. When Chen Zhihu comes to the west, Liang Chengyi, Liang Chengchong and Dong Yuan will face greater pressure," Lin Fu stood there
Under the lake pavilion, looking at the vast mountains and fields, he said, "I wonder what it would be like to fight between Dong Yuan and Chen Zhihu?"
Lin Fu said this, and Liu Miaozhen, Ye Junan, Li Wei and others were silent. There are also many Huaidong Army generals who came from Li Zhuo's sect. If the Jizhen Army is also included, the next war will have a sense of fratricide.
, how can people be happy?
"The real pressure is on the Western Front. I don't know how many years the Cao family can hold out. Seeing that Guanzhong cannot be defended, the Cao family took the initiative to retreat to the two rivers. Yanhu occupied Guanzhong. Naturally, Liang Chengyi could not defend Hezhong Prefecture alone, but Yanhu could
Going down from Nanyang, breaking through Jinghu Lake via Xiangyang and occupying a commanding advantage, the situation will become very complicated..." Lin Fu frowned.
The Cao family occupied Guanzhong, and sent troops to Tongguan, and Huaidong sent troops to Xuzhou. Although Yanhu had a passage south through Nanyang and Xiangyang, this passage was very narrow, and the flanks and grain roads were all threatened by Huaidong and the Cao family.
Under this situation, it is impossible for Yan and Hu Duan to go south via the route of Nanyang and Xiangyang before solving the two wings until the last moment.
Once Yan and Hu drive the Cao family out of Guanzhong and occupy it, they can use Guanzhong as a springboard to run Hanzhong and Xiangyang southward without worrying about threats to their flanks. Xiangyang will be the focus of future competition.
"Dong Yuan was in Huaixi, so he probably wouldn't sit back and watch Luo Xiancheng lying on the couch!" Ye Junan said, "Besides, I heard that the remnants of Chen and Han's troops fled into Huaishan, so Dong Yuan shouldn't just sit back and do nothing."
Chang Huai's army entered Huaixi. A total of 100,000 troops in Huaixi returned to Dong Yuan's control. They relied on each other in Huaidong, and it was more than enough to hold the Huaixi defense line. Luo Xiancheng was reluctant to accept the recruitment, and Chen Han's remaining troops fled west again.
Relying on Luo Xiancheng, Dong Yuan was not a conservative person, so it was not an accident to attack Luo Xiancheng.
Just as it was uneasy when Chen Hansan was staying in Xuzhou, now Luo Xiancheng is uneasy when he is staying in Xiangyang.
Once the Cao family is defeated and Yan and Hu troops occupy the middle of the pass, Xiangyang is the way out of Wuguan. It is really worrying whether Luo Xiancheng will defend or surrender. It is better for Dong Yuan to annihilate him at this time.
"Luo Xiancheng is quite cunning. If Dong Yuan uses troops from the east, he may be forced to flee south," Liu Miaozhen said. "If we really want to take action against Luo Xiancheng, we must deploy heavy troops in advance on the passage where he may escape."
"This brings us back to the old topic. Jiangzhou really needs Yue Lengqiu to be in charge, but the Western Front is going to be in chaos, and we'll let them do it." Lin Fu rubbed his hands and said. After these years of management, it was not easy.
After sorting out the Eastern Front, it was useless to worry too much about the Western Front. He could only wait and see how the situation developed.
"All the counties in the world are fighting each other, and there have been many back and forths, but it has made the people suffer." Li Wei sighed bitterly, and then said, "Liang Xi died, Liang Chengchong led the remaining troops to retreat westward, and there may be some refugees in Caozhou and other places southward.
"Yong, I will go back to the city first to make some arrangements..." He then said goodbye and went back to the city.
"That's fine." Lin Fu said.
Liu Miaozhen, Ye Junan and Li Wei returned to Xuzhou city.
***************
Lin Fu returned to Huzhuang and saw Su Yuan and Xiaoman setting up a memorial ceremony in the inner house. He probably also knew that Liang Xi was beheaded by his subordinates in Dongping and comforted his ancestors.
In the Qiuye Prison rebellion, the entire Su family was framed and executed. Liang Xi and his sister, the Empress Dowager Liang, played a very important role in it. The Empress Dowager Liang was living in Chongzhou, so he let her go. Huaidong could not bear the crime of killing the Empress Dowager.
It was a very happy news for the Su sisters to hear that Liang Xi passed away in Dongping this year.
When Lin Fu came back, he saw Su Mei and Xiao Man sitting on the futon in front of the sacrificial table. Their eyes were red and swollen. They must have cried once. After cleaning their hands, they went to put incense in front of the sacrificial table and bowed. They took a futon and sat down, saying:
"Compared to the Sumen case, the country was broken and the people fled. This is a greater crime they committed. When the old country is restored from scratch, this debt must be settled slowly."
"It's not just that I heard that the old traitor Liang Xi died, so I set up a memorial ceremony here to express my condolences..." Su Mei said.
"Oh, what else is good?" Lin Fu asked.
Xiaoman blushed with embarrassment, grabbed Su Mei's lapel and said, "I just reacted, but I'm not sure yet!"
"Ah, I'm really pregnant!" Lin Fu asked happily.
Sun Wenwan happened to come in, heard what was said here, and said: "Doctor Wu, please check your pulse, but the young lady won't let us tell you..."
"It's only been a few months, and my pulse is very weak, how can I count?" Xiaoman lowered his head and said, with joy hidden in the corners of his eyebrows.
Lin Fu happily held Xiaoman's slightly cold hand and said, "Why are your hands so cold? You need to wear more clothes..." He helped Xiaoman sit down in the courtyard, and couldn't help but said proudly, "Look at me.
All the hard work you have put in these days has finally paid off, right?"
Miss Sun Wenwan's family couldn't bear to hear such words, so she blushed and walked out, leaving Sister Su Mei to accompany Lin Fu to fool around here.
Xiao Man was so thin-skinned that when he saw Sun Wenwan, he was so embarrassed that he ran away. When he saw that Lin Fu was still talking nonsense, he blushed with embarrassment. He smiled and went to pinch Lin Fu's cheek. After a while, he fell into his arms again and whispered.
: "I have to raise a baby, but my body is inconvenient. From now on, I will let my sister serve my husband!"
Although Xiaoman's voice was soft, Su Meitong, who was sitting on the couch, heard it. She blushed from the roots of her ears to her neck. She threw her hands and cursed with a smile: "How can there be such a bastard sister like you? Turn around and betray my sister."
Already?" He wanted to escape in shame, but Lin Fu caught him as soon as he stood up.
Lin Fu asked Su Mei to come into his arms and said, "I thought that when I was in poverty, I had no other wish. I just wanted you and Xiaoman to be by my side. Now, what happened back then is all before my eyes. I can't give you a name today."
, do you feel aggrieved in your heart?"
"In this life, I only want to be by my husband and my sister's side. I have nothing else to ask for." Su Mei raised her head and looked into Lin Fu's eyes, put her arms around his waist, put her head on his waist, and said, "You want a concubine?
How can I feel aggrieved when my whole heart is full of love?" He added, "Wen Wan followed us here, and she didn't expect to gain any status, but you can't cold-blooded her heart either!"
Looking back at this, Jun Xun asked Sun Wenwan to follow him to the north, which determined Sun Wenwan's identity. Su Mei knew that if the inner house wanted to be peaceful, one family could not laugh while the other family lived in a cold room. She had performed the courtesy of Zhou Gong with Lin Fu, so she could not throw Sun Wenwan away.
Ignore it.
"Haha, I have to rest for a while from now on. It will be a joy in life to be with you when you are a famous scholar fishing in the lakes and mountains." Lin Fu said with a smile, "Although I don't want to make a big deal about it, we have a double happiness. If we really don't say anything, I won't be afraid of wronging you.
I also have the regret of walking in brocade clothes at night. How about choosing a good time to make a grand ceremony?"
"It's okay if you agree, but Wenwan has an elder in Xuzhou, so we have to ask him to come forward as a witness." Su Mei said.
Sun Jingtang was in Xuzhou. Lin Fu scratched his head and said with a grimace: "No matter how thick-skinned I am, I can't just run up to Sun Jingtang and say: 'I will take your niece into the room in two days. Now,
Say hello!' What kind of thing do you think this is?"
Su Mei and Xiaoman burst out laughing. Finally, Xiaoman made the decision and said, "Invite Mr. Jun An here tomorrow, and I will come forward to ask Mr. Jun An to be the middle man..."
At this moment, there was a strange sound outside the courtyard door, and a figure almost fell down. Then there were footsteps hurriedly walking outside. Lin Fu asked: "Who is outside?"
The maid outside the courtyard door replied: "General Sun eavesdropped for a long time and just left..."
Lin Fu laughed, knowing that Sun Wenwan was even thinner, so he did not pursue her.
