There was light coming in through the mist, and the room seemed to be shrouded in half-darkness and transparent water.
Lin Fu woke up and opened his eyes to see Song Jia looking at him. Her eyes were extremely beautiful in the morning light, clear and without impurities. He struggled with Song Jia for half a night and fell asleep at dawn. Looking at the dim light in the room, Thinking it was early morning, he asked doubtfully: "How long have I not slept?"
"Oh, you've been sleeping all day. The setting sun has already set. How long have you not slept for?" Song Jia smiled sweetly, turned over and lay on Lin Fu's body, naked, letting Lin Fu feel her skin. As delicate and smooth as satin.
"Then you are still staying in bed with me?" Lin Fu put his arms around Song Jia's plump waist and couldn't help but touch her more elastic buttocks.
The flesh on Song Jia's buttocks is the thickest, full and elastic, extremely tender and greasy, like colloid. Especially when she leans on the bed and bends her waist to ask Lin Fu to come in, her buttocks are like waves, which is so beautiful to watch.
Apart from her charming eyes, Lin Fu liked Song Jia the most.
Song Jia asked Lin Fu to touch his buttocks and tickle his heart. She lay half on his body, moving like a fish in shallow water, and said, "I woke up and looked at the setting sun reflected in the window. It was so beautiful. Who would be willing to get up?" Supporting Lin He looked at Fu's chest and said, "I'm about to get up now, and my stomach is very hungry."
"Since it's already night, why bother putting on and taking off your clothes again?" Lin Fu held Song Jia's waist to prevent her from getting up.
Song Jia stretched out her hand and touched it. Lin Fu stood up fiercely under Lin Fu. He smiled a little shyly and said, "You are really hungry." Hearing that there was no movement in the yard, he knew that others would understand. He came to scratch, straddled Lin Fu, straightened up, sat down with the pestle in his hand, and turned twice as if he were grinding noodles, then he heard someone walking in from the yard, but it was Gao Zongting who reported loudly through the window: "Floating Liang Jixin, the Chizhou army was defeated on the north bank..."
Extremely disappointed, Lin Fu and Song Jia got up and dressed in embarrassment, without even bothering to wash up, and hurried to the lobby to discuss matters.
Su Tingzhan had withdrawn his troops from Fuliang, and Yu Wenbei led his troops to Fuliang, which opened the channel from the west of Chizhou to Shangrao via Fuliang. Even so, the news of Chizhou's defeat was delayed until day and night before reaching Shangrao.
The message sent from Fuliang only mentioned the defeat of the Chizhou army on the north bank. When the message was sent, the results of the gains and losses of the cities in Songyang, Yicheng and Qianshan had not yet been announced.
Lin Fu and Song Jia came in, and Fu Qinghe, Gao Zongting and others had gathered here to visually mark the news on the map.
"On the night of the 23rd, the lord's secret letter was delivered to Songyang. Yue Lengqiu stayed on the north bank, but asked Deng Yu to cross the river to the south bank to assist Yue Zhi. It can be seen that Yue Lengqiu did not take what the lord said to his heart on the 23rd." Gao Zongting said, "On the 24th, Ziang sent people in Luzhou to urge Yue Lengqiu to mobilize his troops northward, but Yue Lengqiu hesitated. In the early morning of the 25th, Jiangzhou suddenly crossed the river, and Yue Lengqiu also There should be no definite plan. Yue Lengqiu was forced to respond hastily, and his troops divided into three groups to attack the north and south of Jiangzhou. The root of the disaster is buried here!"
Lin Fu didn't care about the victory or defeat of the Chizhou army and asked: "Is it possible that the Jiangzhou army will take advantage of Chizhou's defeat to attack Luzhou?"
"For example, when attacking Luzhou, I thought Shewenzhuang might seize Jiangxia first," Gao Zongting analyzed. "When Chizhou was defeated on the north bank, General Cunxin led the third water battalion to march as far as Lujiang. When he heard that Chizhou was defeated, he The third water camp will stop at the Lujiang River. Although Luzhou has few troops, it has the third water camp to rely on, so Luzhou should have no big worries. After the north bank and Chizhou navy were defeated one after another, Chizhou advanced on Peng Ze's troops on the south bank. The horses immediately retreated, and Yue Lengqiu should still be able to gather nearly 30,000 troops and horses in Qiupu..."
Lin Fu nodded: the terrain at the southern foot of Huaishan Mountain is shallow. Unless Shewenzhuang is sure to control the Yangtze River waterway, it would be unwise to march eastward and expose its flanks. Compared with attacking Luzhou, Shewenzhuang would use color in Huaidong.
The remnants of the She family should be eager to gain a certain living space on the north bank. Taking advantage of Jinghu's unpreparedness, gathering troops in Jiangxia and advancing towards the Han River would be more beneficial to the remnants of the She family to gain more opportunities to survive.
"It seems that it is difficult to change the trend of Yan and Hu soldiers heading south. If we take this step, the She family will be in ruins!" Song Jia sighed quietly.
When the She family lost Jiangxi, they lost the capital to support themselves. The remnants of the She family fled across the Yangtze River with the purpose of clearing the way for Yan and Hu. After crossing the Yangtze River and entering Jinghu Lake, they were caught between Luo Xiancheng and Hu Wenmu, and there was no way for the She family to survive.
Space, taking Luo Xiancheng and joining Yanhu, is the She family's last choice.
At this point, Huaidong's original strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves has been used to its extreme.
At this time, the main force of the Huaidong Army was still stranded along the Xinjiang River. It had to first deal with the enemy at Hengfeng, and then deal with the trouble of Yuanzhou Huang Binghao before it could finally free up its hands.
The Huanglongling river section is one of the most suitable ferries in the middle reaches of the Yangzi River, and the mouth of Poyang Lake is right at Huanglongling, so the people of the She family in Jiangzhou can board the boat from the inner line of Poyang Lake first, and then leave the lake mouth at night to rush to cross the Yangtze River.
Unless they can advance both by land and water and completely encircle Jiangzhou, it will be difficult to stop the She family from abandoning Jiangzhou and crossing north.
The strength of the Chizhou army was severely weakened. The Jinghu side was isolated and difficult to contact for a while. Huaidong's infantry in Luzhou was only enough to defend the city. Even if Ao Canghai and Zhang Jiheng led their troops to go north first to join the troops of Eastern Jiangxi, it would be difficult to reach them in time.
Rushed to the outskirts of Jiangzhou.
The Chizhou army was defeated on the north bank, and the remnants of the She family in Jiangzhou crossed the river and fled north. It would be difficult to change the outcome. The best outcome is that Hu Wenmu can defend Jiangxia.
However, it would be difficult for Hu Wenmu to defend Jiangxia.
Jiangxia is located to the west of Ezhou, and governs Hanjin, which later became Hanyang, Wuhan. Previously, Hu Wenmu was ordered to invade Jiangzhou from Ezhou, and most of his troops were concentrated on the south bank. The troops stationed in Hanjin were mainly on guard against Chen Hansan.
After Chen Hansan led the remnants of his troops to the south, although he had Luo Xiancheng's secret support, he only managed to amass 10,000 troops in more than half a year. He still had to support himself from both sides and was attacked by Jinghu and Chizhou. How big a threat could he pose to Hanjin?
The troops deployed by Hu Wenmu in Hanjin were very limited, and the Chizhou army was defeated. After the remnants of the She family crossed the river, there was no threat on the east wing, and they could concentrate their forces to attack Hanjin. If Hu Wenmu had reacted a little late, the Jiangxia Mansion
It is difficult to preserve it in the counties in Jiangbei.
Luo Xiancheng was not a man willing to be lonely. From the time he secretly assisted Chen Hansan, Lin Fu gave up his efforts to win over Luo Xiancheng and instead worked hard to divide the Suizhou generals.
Previously, Suizhou was sandwiched between Nanyang, Huaixi, and Jinghu, and the Yanhu soldiers and horses were blocked from the Jianghuai River, so Luo Xiancheng did not dare to make any changes. After the remnants of the She family crossed the river, they would directly become the southern barrier of Suizhou. Luo Xian
It is very likely that Cheng Cheng will openly surrender to Yanhu and use troops against Nanyang or Hanzhong - in this case, will the Cao family still defend Guanzhong alone?
The situation in Huaidong is not that bad. At least the overall situation in Jiangxi has been decided. Even if the Yanhu troops and horses move southward, Dong Yuan will be unable to resist in Huaidong. The main force of the Huaidong army can withdraw from Jiangxi and go north to defend Luzhou and Xuzhou.
Key points.
The situation in Jinghu is difficult to take into account for the time being. At present, we still need to stabilize the situation in Jiangxi as soon as possible and transform Jiangxi from chaos to order. This is the basis for responding to ever-changing changes with stability.
*****************
The situation in Jinghu changed drastically, and Lin Fu couldn't wait to take over Jiangxi in a step-by-step manner.
On the 28th, Zhang Gou marched into Fuzhou, turned south from Fuzhou, and marched towards Shanguan at the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian.
The remnants of the enemy in Hengfeng learned that the She family had abandoned Jiangxi and fled north, so they stopped waiting for help and left Hengfeng City to break out to the west on the 28th. Zhou Tong deliberately gave way to the western passage to lure the remnants of Hengfeng.
They dispersed between Huating and Hengfeng, and took advantage of the water camp to seize the beach in the middle and attack the flanks of the remnant enemy that broke out of the encirclement. To the west of Huating Pass, they defeated the enemy at Hengfeng.
In the next few days, the main force of the Huaidong Army stayed in eastern Jiangxi, and more of them pursued and annihilated the defeated troops.
At the same time, the situation on the northern front was also developing rapidly, and it was changing so fast that it was difficult to cope with it.
As expected, although the Jiangzhou army won a great victory at Xiaocang Mountain, it had lost its vigor and had no intention of attacking Luzhou eastward. It even captured Congyang and then abandoned it.
After being frustrated in the battle with Sun Zhuang's troops on the outskirts of Yicheng, Chen Hansan was worried that Songyang was too prominent and might be outflanked by the Huaidong Army from land and water, so he retreated to Xiaocang Mountain, west of Songyang, at the junction with Huangmei.
A river-crossing passage to protect the remnants of the She family.
The remnants of the Chizhou Army retreated to Qiupu. Without land support, the Jinghai Third Water Battalion had no obvious advantage on the river, making it difficult to attack westward against the current. They retreated to the Lujiang River and settled along the coast of Chao.
The She family took advantage of the remaining momentum from the victory at Xiaocang Mountain to use Jiangzhou navy to cover the east wing, and requisitioned hundreds of large and small fishing boats to rush Jiangzhou people and horses across the river. Only three days from the 26th to the 28th, or voluntarily,
More than 90,000 soldiers and civilians were either coerced into fleeing with the She family across the Yangtze River from Jiangzhou.
Affected by the rout of Chizhou's army, Jinghu's troops in Ezhou also became hesitant. Since they had no courage to advance to Jiangzhou City and delay the She family's attempt to flee north across the Yangtze River, they were reluctant to abandon Jiangzhou immediately and mobilized
Soldiers strengthened the defense of Jianghan hinterland.
On the 27th, the She family's advance troops who crossed to the north bank, including the elite of the She family's headquarters, Tian Chang's troops, etc., numbered nearly 40,000. Taking advantage of Huaidong's lack of troops in the direction of Luzhou, the Chizhou army made a new attack
In the face of a major defeat, they retreated to Qiupu and were unable to contain their troops from the east. The soldiers and horses of the She family who crossed the river and entered the north bank quickly moved west, towards Hanjin, and to the north bank of the Han River.
The She family troops who withdrew from the hinterland of Jiangxi, including Su Tingzhan, Han Li and other troops, as well as the remaining troops who stayed in Pengze, Hukou, and Jiangzhou cities, numbered about 20,000. On the first day of May, they all crossed the river and entered the north bank.
.
Taking May as the dividing line, after experiencing the tragic defeat in Shangrao, the She family abandoned Jiangxi and successfully fled to the north bank of eastern Hubei.
After Su Tingzhan led his troops across the river, he succeeded Chen Hansan and stationed in Huanglongling and Huangmeicheng. Jiangzhou Navy Yang Xiong's troops were dependent on Su Tingzhan and Han Li's troops on water and land, with 40,000 soldiers and horses on land and water.
Keep the luxurious family behind.
Chen Hansan led his troops to march westward from Xiaocang Mountain in early May, and joined forces with the main force of the remaining Zhejiang and Fujian armies of Shewenzhuang, Sheyuan, and Hu Zongguo to attack the north bank of the Han River.
Hu Wenmu was forced to abandon Hanjin City, which was isolated on the north bank of the Han River, and rebuilt a defense line on the south bank of the Han River.
Under Ao Canghai's order, Yu Wencheng and Yu Wenbei led their troops to recapture Pengze and Hukou in early May. After the Chizhou Army retreated to Qiupu, they have not dared to make any big moves. After Chen Hansan led his troops to withdraw from Songyang, Yue
Leng Qiu did not dare to send his troops westward, but gathered up the defeated troops in Yicheng.
The remnants of the She family deployed in the direction of Hanjin, with the frontline pointing directly at the flanks and rear of Jinghu Lake. Hu Wenmu no longer dared to advance into Jiangzhou, and instead moved troops from Ezhou to the west to secure the hinterland of Jingzhou on the south bank of the Han River.
First, Hu Wenmu did not dare to anger Huaidong at this time. Second, Jinghu needed more guards on the south bank of the Han River and could not divide his troops in Jiangzhou.
Su Pinxiao led the water battalion to land on the northwest bank of Poyang Lake on the fifth day of May and recaptured the almost empty city of Jiangzhou. With support from the upper reaches, Ge Cunxin also led a warship of the third water battalion to boldly march westward to Jiangzhou.
Joined with Ao Canghai and completely controlled Jiangxi.
She Wenzhuang also knew that after the Huaidong Army adjusted and deployed, especially after the main force of the Huaidong Army entered Jiangzhou, the main force of the Jinghai Battalion would also move westward to the Jianghu line, and its navy would not be enough to defend the Jiangzhou line.
Competing with Huaidong for the peak.
In order to prevent the Jinghaihai Battalion troops from advancing along the river, the She family also intentionally shortened the defense line along the north bank of the river.
As the Huaidong Army gradually took control of Jiangzhou and other places, the Shejia Army gradually abandoned the area along the river at the southern foot of Huaishan Mountain in early May, shrinking its forces westward until it retreated to Qichun territory, building a defensive line at the eastern and southern foot of Huaishan.
The south bank of Qichun is Ezhou, the defense zone of Jinghu. As long as Hu Wenmu does not abandon Ezhou, and the west of Qichun is nominally the defense zone of the Chizhou Army, the She family can temporarily avoid confrontation with the Huaidong Army.
The remnants of the She family would rather abandon the area east of Qichun than temporarily avoid the military front from Huaidong.
