Thousands of defeated soldiers were driven down the icy river. She Feihu was tall and majestic in appearance. His clothes and armor were different from those of ordinary generals. Many generals in the Huaidong cavalry camp recognized him.
At the end of the battle, Zhao Bao and other generals let go of other defeated soldiers and ignored the rebel soldiers. They led their armored cavalry and armored soldiers like sharp blades to cut apart the rebel soldiers and defeated soldiers. They stared at them tightly and were surrounded by dozens of guards who resisted.
The unyielding luxury flying tiger...
Zhou Pu and Zhang Jiheng did not compete with their generals for credit. They stood on the stone pond and set up a formation, watching Zhao Bao and other generals surround She Feihu. Ten guards shot him one by one, and She Feihu had arrows hanging on his chest and back.
No more than ten arrows were fired, his clothes and armor were soaked with blood, and he refused to surrender. With his halberd in hand, he advanced and retreated like a madman.
Taking advantage of the two generals on the left and right holding down She Feihu's halberd with their spears, Zhao Bao took advantage of the situation to attack and pierced She Feihu's chest with a spear. Zhao Bao's spear was powerful, and the spear penetrated the thick armor, revealing the tip of the spear through his back.
, blood flowed along the blade of the gun, dripping on the remaining fire under his feet, making a sizzling sound.
A generation of heroes perished. She Feihu sat on the ground and died. Before his death, he roared unwillingly. He was caught in the cold wind, and the tiger's eyes were open and closed under the light of the remaining fire...
When She Feihu died, the generals of Huaidong let out deafening cheers. Dozens of people gathered around Zhao Bao and ran towards Shitang, thinking they were claiming credit. Killing the enemy general on the battlefield was a glorious achievement, and a generation of brave generals perished.
, a generation of brave generals rises...
"Master Baozi, Zhao Bao asked the traitor general's head to be circulated to all the armies!" Zhao Bao said in a loud voice under the stone mound.
"You kid, put away your proud tail. You are indispensable for killing the enemy general. If you don't want to be scolded, quickly find a coffin to bury She Feihu's body and send it to Jiangning..." Zhou
Pu said.
When She Feihu ended up like this, he couldn't blame others, but over the years, She Feihu also had a respectable character. It was inappropriate for the owl leader to circulate among the armies, and Lin Fu would certainly not allow this.
"Master Baozi is really disappointing!" Zhao Bao muttered in a low voice. For their new generation of rising generals, they only desire more dazzling military exploits. How could they think about the problem like Zhou Pu did? Since Zhou Pu gave such an order, Zhao Bao
Bao and other generals did not dare to resist, so they could only send people to find the coffin to collect the body of She Feihu.
Zhou Pu didn't mind that young generals like Zhao Bao murmured to themselves, thinking, wasn't it the same when he was young?
The Zhejiang and Fujian troops who entered the west bank on the right wing were all wiped out. There were still more than 2,000 remaining soldiers on the east bank. They collapsed without a fight and fled southward under the night. Under such circumstances, the enemy troops fled in chaos and it was impossible.
Organized resistance would not cause any serious trouble. The only worry was that the rout of the rebel troops would cause great harm to the people, and would also invade the mountains and establish themselves as bandits. Zhou Pu sent Chen Daozi and three sentry cavalry to intercept them southward along the Yiyang River.
The remaining troops either stayed to clean up the battlefield, or retreated to Yijiang City to rest and recuperate.
Yue Lengqiu had no intention of fighting against the Zhejiang and Fujian troops in Chizhou. With the war developing after the autumn, the battle to encircle and annihilate Zheng Mingjing's remnants in Gucheng should also be coming to an end. Then there will be no big war to fight in the short term...
****************
Although the Tang Fuguan Tribe, Zhao Hu Tribe, Lin Zonghai Tribe and the Second Shuiying Tribe almost controlled the outer city of Jiangning before nightfall on the second day of the lunar month, Lin Fu did not leave Liyang for Jiangning until the fourth day of the lunar month.
Ao Canghai led the Changshan Army with about 10,000 troops. Instead of following Lin Fu into Jiangning City, he marched directly west from Jinshan, passed through Maoshan, and entered the west bank of Yiyang River via Lishui River.
"It was too easy for the She family to evacuate from Chizhou!" Zhou Pu sent people from Yijiang River to send back the good news. Song Fuzheng accompanied Lin Fu northward and rode slowly at sunset. He did not mention that She Feihu died fighting at the mouth of Yiyang River.
It made me sigh with emotion about the situation in Chizhou to the west.
Lin Fuxin left the horse and Song Jia escorted the Queen Mother by water to Jiangning. It was not a fast walk. He did not want to enter Jiangning City too early. It was rare for him to be in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the mountains and rivers under the setting sun.
Chizhou was indeed too relaxed - not only did Yue Lengqiu not bother to intercept the Zhejiang and Fujian troops retreating westward, but in order to eliminate the hidden danger of controlling the Jiangzhou army, Chen Zishou gave Chen Zishou's nearly 10,000 troops to the She family in vain - Lin Fumi
Seeing the sky to the west as red as the bleeding sunset, he smiled and said: "Rabbits can bite people when they are anxious. Yue Lengqiu can bite people even better than rabbits. It's time to change the role of driving away tigers and devouring wolves..."
At this moment, a group of people came to join them. Lin Fu looked up and said to Song Fu, "Maybe it's Zong Ting and the others who are here."
Entering Jiangning City is easy said and done. No one in the world can stop Lin Fu from riding a tall horse into Jiangning City. However, there are various considerations to enter Jiangning, which also involve various strategies that Huaidong will implement next - Song Fu knew that in
In the formulation and implementation of these core strategies, Lin Fu could not only listen to his opinions.
Not only Gao Zongting came from Jiangning alone, but also Qin Chengzu, Lin Mengde, Sun Jingxuan, Hu Zhicheng, Zhou Guangdong, Sun Fengyi, Li Shutang and other core figures in Huaidong, after learning that Jiangning was recovered, they drove more than 500 miles in two days and one night to arrive in Songjia.
Before escorting the fleet that returned the Queen Mother to the court, they entered Jiangning and met up with Gao Zongting first.
There will be no serious war in the short term. Only Sun Jingtang, Li Shuyi and others are left in Chongzhou. As the situation develops, Huaidong's focus will inevitably shift to Jiangning.
Of course, Qin Chengzu and others rushed to Jiangning to discuss the big plan. Gu Junxun, Liu Yuer and other family members would not rush into Jiangning City...
Seeing that it was indeed Qin Chengzu, Lin Mengde, Gao Zongting, Huang Jinnian and others walking this way, Lin Fu dismounted his horse, stood on the grass slope, and behind him Song Fu, Chen Huazhang and others laughed and said: "I said don't be like this
With such a big support, they don't mind walking back and forth, they are exhausted..."
Qin Chengzu, Lin Mengde, Gao Zongting, Huang Jinnian and others came over. When they got close, Qin Chengzu and others knelt down in front of the slope. Song Fu saw that the etiquette they were doing was wrong, so he and Chen Huazhang walked over and knelt down, too.
Followed by the salute: "I respectfully welcome the lord to Jiangning..."
"..." Lin Fu was slightly startled, and changed the word "Sir" to "Lord". This was another step forward. He squinted at the setting sun in the distance and said with emotion, "I have been away from Jiangning for many years, but the old appearance of Jiangning is still there.
Now, I am back to Jiangning this time, but I would like the war to be less destructive to Jiangning." He leaned over to help Qin Chengzu and said with a smile, "Everyone, get up. This kneeling ceremony will have to be abolished in the future. Once trouble comes,
Secondly, people who kneel will inevitably have the thought in their hearts that 'Princes, generals, ministers, etc. have a certain kind of love'. If you don't kneel, this thought will fade away..."
"I must not have any delusions!" Song Fu and Chen Huazhang thought that Lin Fu's words were a warning to them, and they knelt down again in panic.
Lin Fu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just wanted to slightly change the deep-rooted views of superiority and inferiority in people's hearts. Song Fu and Chen Huazhang only thought that he was playing power tricks to scare them. However, Qin Chengzu, Gao Zongting and others were familiar with him and did not make a mess.
Kneel down again.
Lin Fu leaned over to help Song Fu, Chen Huazhang and the others, and said, "I said it was a big trouble, but you just didn't believe it. Huaidong didn't have this set of rules before, and there shouldn't be this set of rules in the future. Mr. Qin, Uncle Meng De
, Zong Ting and the others are playing this game just to catch the duck, Duke Song and Duke Chen don’t need to take it seriously..."
When Song Fu and Chen Huazhang saw that Qin Chengzu and others did not kneel down again, they believed that Lin Fu's words about "princes and generals" were commonplace. They were a little embarrassed. But how long had they followed Lin Fu? How could they know this?
It is not difficult to think that Lin Fu has reached this stage and is so powerful that he can replace the Yuan family. How can he resist and not enjoy the pleasure of having thousands of people kneeling down? They can't understand this!
*********************
Not in a hurry to enter Jiangning, Lin Fu ordered the accompanying guards to camp on the spot at the ridge at the northeastern foot of Maoshan Mountain for the night.
Before nightfall, several teams of archers were sent to hunt wild animals. In front of the big tent, Lin Fu and others sat around the campfire. The wild deer were roasted on the campfire until they were sizzling with oil, and the aroma filled their noses. They did not feel the cold wind blowing.
How cold it is.
Before nightfall, news came from the south that the Chongcheng Army had captured enemy general Zheng Mingjing, captured Meizi Creek, and recovered the entire territory of Gucheng County. The enemy troops had very few troops in Huizhou, and they also abandoned Xuanzhou, Ningguo, and Jixi outside.
Waiting for the city, they went to Huizhou in the south and gathered at Yuling Pass. The Chongcheng Army was expected to regain the entire territory of Huizhou soon.
"The She family is unable to defend central and western Zhejiang. Its troops in western Zhejiang are likely to retreat to Shangrao, Wuyuan, etc., and make every effort to ensure that the connection between central Fujian and Jiangxi is maintained, and to block the passage of our army from the west to eastern Jiangxi."
Gao Zongting sat across from Lin Fu, lighting the bonfire with fire sticks, and said, "I think that next, the southern route in East Fujian should focus on rest and recuperation, while Zhao Qingshan maintains military pressure on the upper reaches of the Min River in Jin'an.
But on the middle line, after the Zhejiang and Fujian troops abandon the western and central Zhejiang areas except Shangrao, Wuyuan and other places, Huaidong should resolutely send a main force to enter, and strive to keep the remaining Zhejiang and Fujian invaders in Shangrao, and Wuyuan will not be relaxed, so as to
To open up the passage from the west to eastern Jiangxi; on the northern route, we must drive Yue Lengqiu to work hard to regain Jiangzhou and other northern Jiangxi..."
"Yue Lengqiu even gave Chen Zishou's subordinates to the She family in vain on this trip. If he wants to fight for his life with the She family, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Lin Mengde said.
"Tolerating him is only for a while," Lin Fu said with a smile, "I thought that Qingyang and Nanyang must be separated from Chizhou and a new government should be built with Yijiang. I can give more soldiers and horses to Yue Lengqiu, but the territory
He was only given the land west of the Qiupu River, which would not allow him to fight hard to the west..."
"Will the Changshan Army be stationed in Yijiang from now on?" Gao Zongting asked.
"Well," Lin Fu nodded and told everyone his thoughts, "Ao Canghai led his troops to march westward. I just planned to ask him to take advantage of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops to flee westward and capture Qingyang first; Emperor Yongxing still
We have to welcome them back, but there is no need for the Yuying Navy and Yuma Prisoners to come back, leaving it to Yue Lengqiu and Dong Yuan, which can be regarded as giving them some benefits - what do you think of this arrangement?"
Gao Zongting, Qin Chengzu and others nodded.
Emperor Yongxing fled west, accompanied by almost 20,000 troops.
Huaidong wanted to welcome Emperor Yongxing back to Jiangning, but he could not call back the troops of the imperial camp, so he could only throw them out as bags.
In addition, if you want Yue Lengqiu to fight westward, you can't do it without giving him a naval force. Giving Yue Lengqiu's naval force to Yue Lengqiu can be regarded as a condition for him to support Huaidong.
At this time, we can't push Yue Lengqiu into a panic, we can't make Yue Lengqiu jump over the wall in a hurry, we can allocate the Royal Camp Navy to him, and even temporarily let Jiangning bear all the money and food for the Jiangzhou Army, but as long as we capture Qingyang first
, and stationed heavy troops and elite troops in Qingyang, Yijiang and other cities to prevent the Jiangzhou army from crossing the Qiupu River and advancing eastward. Yue Lengqiu had no chance to gain a foothold in Chizhou and wait and see the situation.
To the west of the Qiupu River, there were only two cities still in the hands of Yue Lengqiu. Yue Lengqiu gave up his old life and fought westward. As time went by, Huaidong gradually digested the land south of the Yangtze River. Yue Lengqiu
Even if you have 100,000 elite soldiers, without enough territory to support them, you are just a tree without roots and water without a source.
"What should we do with Dong Yuan?" Sun Jingxuan asked.
Negotiations with Huaixi failed, and Dong Yuan insisted on supporting Emperor Yongxing to stay in Lu and establish another capital. The problem would still be difficult.
With Yanlu as a formidable enemy, the southern half of the country will inevitably maintain a superficial unity.
Yue Lengqiu and the Jiangzhou Army were relatively easy to deal with. After all, Dong Yuan still controlled a thousand miles of land from Xinyang in the west, Sizhou in the east, Woyang in the north, and Luzhou in the south——
"Dong Yuan's performance is meritless. If Dong Yuan is forced into a panic, he will do far more harm than Yue Lengqiu," Gao Zongting said, "But compared to the fact that Jiangzhou Army can only control Yue Lengqiu better,
Dong Yuan still cannot fully grasp the situation in Huaixi, which is an advantage for us..."
Lin Fu nodded. Huaixi's basic base would not touch it, but Huaixi's complex relationships could be used to restrain Dong Yuan, Liu Tingzhou, Xiao Kui'an and Tao Chun from each other so as not to pose a major threat to Huaidong.
Compared with Dong Yuan, Yue Lengqiu, Jinghu, and Xiangtan are far apart. In terms of distant friendship and close attack, the conditions for Jinghu and Xiangtan can be more relaxed to show their traction. The more critical issue at hand is what kind of power Huaidong has
