Lord of the House

Zuo Guangying and Zhang Jiheng joined forces to surround Wudi. In addition to Wudi and Tianshui on the north and south shores, there is also Zhangdu Village on Jiangxin Island at Jiangkou.

Due to the limited strength of the troops sent by the She family to Zhangdu, the defenders were mainly local villagers, and the warships of the Huaidong Navy approached, and they resisted a little bit symbolically, so that they could choose to surrender at dusk on the 18th.

The warm spring sunset spreads over the Yongjia River, sparkling golden light.

At the end of the cool spring, dozens of water ghosts proficient in water, shirtless, like loaches, drilled in and out of the river. If the river barriers are not removed, the warships will not be able to enter. Only when people dive into the river, find out the position of the obstacles, tie ropes to the sunken ship, dark piles, or use sailboats downstream or drag them with mules and cattle on the north bank, one by one. Clear it out, and clear out the North Branch Waterway.

Although the weather is not cold, it can be carried out around the clock in the working day, but if the Jiyun-class warships are to enter the Yongjia River waterway smoothly, it takes three to five days to clean up the river channel.

In addition, although the water camp of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops in the Yongjia River is very weak, as long as the Huaidong water army cannot enter, it will always be a threat to those who enter the water to clear the way.

Lin Fu stood on the south wall of Tianshui Village, looking at Jiangtian in the distance.

The frequency of wars is getting faster and faster, and Zhangdu has fallen. After Lin Fu plans to open the Yongjia River waterway within the 22nd, he will have the southern Zhejiang army attack Wuxi; …

After the capture of Ouhai, how will the war in southern Zhejiang develop next?

It is impossible for She Jiaduan to continue to tolerate Huaidong's rampage in southern Zhejiang without any counterattack.

Lin Bie frowned and thought, but didn't notice that Chen Dingbang hurriedly climbed the wall at this time.

"grown ups…"

Lin Fu came back to his senses, looked at Chen Dingbang with a relaxed expression, and asked, "What's the good thing?"

"It's not a good thing," Chen Dingbang replied, "Just now there was a report from the Western Front Sentinel, the Ouhai defenders are crossing the Jiangbei to withdraw. It is estimated that before we open the Yongjia River waterway, they will all withdraw from the Ouhai..."

"It's faster to slip up..." Zhou Tong said with emotion.

"I can't blame them for slipping fast. If they don't leave, they won't be able to leave if the Huaidong warship enters the Yongjia River..." Hu Zhiyong laughed.

Since the opening of the southern Zhejiang battlefield, continuous sieges and villages have been taken, but they are all small towns and small villages.

Although this time the defenders of Ouhai will be able to withdraw calmly, but Ouhai is a large city in Yongjia Prefecture that is larger than Yongjia County. .

"Nan'an should immediately give up pressing Wuxian Village, deploy a team of elites to move westward, be ready to seize Ouhai at any time, and prevent Zhejiang and Fujian troops from setting fire to the city..." Lin Fu frowned slightly, and the She family moved from Ouhai. The withdrawal of troops was expected, and he was more concerned about what to do next after occupying Ouhai...

Gao Zongting put his arms behind his back, glanced at the long river under the wall, and said, "After taking the Ouhai, it seems that the initiative in the southern Zhejiang battlefield is still in Huaidong's hands, but the situation has actually changed. Taking the Ouhai, Yongjia and Qingtian in the east, Hengyang, Pingyang and Cangnan counties in the south and Huipu, Wenling and Linhai in the north of Yueqing Bay are all within our attack range. Yongjia River or Nanxi River flows upstream. , the beach is dangerous, and both Qingtian and Yongjia are suddenly difficult to attack; Hengyang, Pingyang, and Cangnan are located at the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian, and further south is Xiapu County, which is affiliated to Jinan Prefecture. Presumably the luxury family will not tolerate it if it is stretched. Huaidong threatens northern Fujian from land..."

Cangnan County on the southernmost side of Yongjia Prefecture is the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian, the Fenshui Pass on the southern border of the county, and between Zhejiang and Fujian, except for the west line Xianxia Pass, the most important east line passage is also the only east line land pass. upper channel. Between Xianxia Pass and Fenshui Pass, not to mention the mountains and mountains, it is still a residential area for the barbarian Yue people.

Although the She family is quite passive on the eastern front, the thin and dead camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention that the She family is far from being thin at the moment. At this time, Shejia Duan will not easily give up the Fen Shui Pass, Cangnan, and the eastern passage from northern Fujian to southern Zhejiang.

Huaidong wanted to take Hengyang (now Ruian), Pingyang, and Cangnan counties into his pocket. Between Xiapu and Cangnan, it was difficult to avoid a big battle with the luxury family to decide the outcome.

Huaidong's total force in southern Zhejiang to raid the coast of eastern Fujian was no more than 30,000.

Lin Fu looked at Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong thought for a moment, and said, "I thought that Huaidong would quickly attack Hengyang, even if the She family dispatched elites from northern Fujian to enter southern Zhejiang, there is still Feiyunjiang to the south of Hengyang. Block the troops and horses that the She family has drawn from northern Fujian - as long as we hold Feiyunjiang and Hengyang, we can calmly retake Pu, Wenling, Linhai, Tiantai and other places on the northern front, connecting eastern Zhejiang and southern Zhejiang into one At that time, unless the She family deploys troops from western Zhejiang on a large scale, they will have to withdraw from southern Zhejiang..."

Although it is far less magnificent than the Yangtze River, Qianjiang River and Yellow River, the Feiyun River in southern Zhejiang is still a deep and wide river alongside the Yongjia River and Jiaojiang River.

************

After the eight surnames entered Fujian, Quanzhou has always been a big port along the east coast of Fujian, and is one of the earliest developed areas in East Fujian.

The She family and the imperial court used the guise of peace talks to rest and recuperate. They temporarily abandoned Quanzhou, and the imperial court dispatched officials to take over. Then the She family raised the flag of rebellion, and Song Fu led the army to enter Quanzhou first. Quanzhou has experienced many military disasters, but the time is short, and it is not serious.

Retreat Garden is the residence of Yongtai Bo Song Fu after he entered Quanzhou. Song Fu likes the style of Jiangnan, which makes people renovate the Retreat Garden. Now the Retreat Garden has the beauty of Jiangnan's water and beauty, with bamboo and rare stones and shallow pools. The shore willow reveals green in the late spring season.

There was a sound of "ding ding" son falling on the tray from the west garden. Song Bo followed the sound and walked into the west garden. Seeing his father playing chess with Master Weiqi for fun, Master Weiqi stood up and saluted Song Bo: "I have seen Shaojun... "He bowed to Song Fu again, and then left first with the two beautiful maids who were standing beside Song Fu.

People leave, the fragrance is still in the pavilion.

"Father..." Song Bo opened his mouth to speak.

Song Fu waved his hand, interrupted Song Bo's words, and pushed the sandalwood box containing the chess pieces forward, motioning him to accompany him to finish the game of chess.

Song Bo didn't have the heart to play chess, he looked at the chessboard and answered a move. However, Song Fu lifted the piece he had dropped and said, "You should be here, this big dragon in my heart will be cut off for me, so I can't be in a hurry..."

"Huaidong is like a broken bamboo in southern Zhejiang, and the eastern front is at stake. If Zhejiang and Fujian draw troops from the western front, the western front will inevitably turn from offense to defense and become passive," Song Bo said eagerly, "Everyone else is as anxious as ants on a hot pot. , but to my father's side, but I can't be in a hurry?"

"Your chess piece should fall here, and help the big dragon in the heart," Song Fu said slowly and directly to help Song Bo drop the chess piece where it should fall, "You said that everyone else is in a hurry. Ants on the pot, the Grand Governor has more patience than you think."

"Does my father think there is still a chance on the Eastern Front?" Song Bo asked impatiently.

Song Fu then put down the chess piece, raised his head and glanced at his eldest son, and said, "Li Zhuo occupied the Jian'an Mansion back then, and the Grand Governor and the other seven families did not slack off. Although the current situation on the Eastern Front is very passive, it is still incompatible with the situation on the Eastern Front. Compared with the situation five or six years ago, there is still a world of difference. Five or six years ago, most people in Jin'an did not lose their confidence. Could it be that they easily admit defeat at this time..."

"Is this what my father really thinks?" Song Bo asked.

"If Huaidong hadn't attacked Mingzhou in March, the western Zhejiang army led by She Feixiong would have marched north from Fuyang, swept through the old county of Wuyue, and reached the lower part of Jiangning City - really to that point, let alone drawing troops from Jianghuai. King Qin has gone north, and even the so-called Hehuai line of defense will collapse at the touch of a blow from the Yanhu cavalry. Without Huaidong, perhaps the north-south general trend with Jianghuai as the dividing line would have taken shape.” Song Fu threw the chess piece in his hand. On the catalpa chessboard, he leaned back, sat cross-legged on the soft couch, and said, "The situation can develop to this point, I have to admit that Huaidong is an anomaly...but it's not enough!"

"The Zhejiang-Fujian army swept across the two Zhejiang, and the clan was attached to the back, and the benefits of sieging the city and plundering the land were all in their hands. Although the children of the clan were used by the grace, but at this time, the governor's office sent more than 200,000 troops from various places, and the children of the clan were less than ten. One, nine times out of ten, the harm of the people's livelihood and the corruption is that the soldiers of the Eight Fujian wars are also getting more and more tired," Song Bo said. The soldiers depend on their lives. UU read the book www.uukanshu.com to observe the battles in southern Zhejiang, relying on Yueqing, the Huaidong troops and horses attacked from the south to the north, and attacked more than a dozen cities and towns in a row for more than a month. However, over the past few months, Huaidong's generals in southern Zhejiang have not been tired, and their momentum has grown stronger—isn't that enough?"

Song Fu closed his eyes, frowned deeply, revealing deep wrinkles, and said, "It's not like my father didn't see what you said. There must be a battle between Zhejiang and Fujian, otherwise it will be impossible to easily separate. The outcome will be decided. But the Governor is a very patient person. He delays the battle. If Huaidong advances rashly, he will only lead to a quick defeat. Just look at the situation on the Eastern Front. If time drags on, it will be beneficial to Huaidong. It's useless for Zhejiang and Fujian. But if you put your vision farther, if the situation on the east line drags on, there may not be a turnaround for Zhejiang and Fujian..."

"Fake Yanhu's hand?" Song Bo asked, "Aren't they afraid that the Yanhu cavalry will sweep the world and destroy Zhejiang and Fujian?"

"Whether a knife is easy to use depends not only on the sharpness of the blade, but also the toughness of the blade. There are few people from the Yanhu tribe. Use external force to defend it," Song Fu said, "You see that the Lord Yan has vigorously promoted Han officials, and he has also paid more and more attention to the newly attached Han army. Bowing their heads, they would rather bow their knees to Yanhu and keep their wealth. Before the Yanhu cavalry broke through the Hehuai line of defense, the governor would not have put all the chips out at this time; On the front line of the Huaihe River, there is bound to be a battle between Zhejiang and Fujian and Huaidong - just wait and see. As for the Song family, it is not enough until the battle is decided."

Song Bo was somewhat aware of his father's good intentions, and with a sigh, he stopped persuading him. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
