Lord of the House

Vol 10 Chapter 6: Tiger-faced ugly general

After Chen Daozi came back from the north and was reunited with his family in Chongzhou for three days, he would be sent north again to sneak into Yishan and join Wu Qi, Chu Zheng and others.

"The She family's strategy of secretly manipulating the East China Sea bandits and raiding the Jianghuai in the early days was undoubtedly correct - although the She family is already tired, but there are good things in their combat thinking, you might as well learn from it. There is no need to deny this. It's a hostile relationship, and we don't learn the benefits of the enemy. This is not the correct attitude, this is an awkward attitude..."

Lin Fu has been vigorously sending outstanding officers and logistical administrative personnel to the northern line, so that he can more solidly conduct guerrilla operations against the enemy between the mountains and rivers of Yidi. This time, there will be more than 100 people going north with Chen Daozi.

Before all the people going north, Lin Fu would give a mobilization speech in person, and take the trouble to introduce everyone to the situation in Qingzhou, Yinan, Tai'an, and Dengzhou, as well as the main tasks they would perform between the mountains and rivers of Yidi.

"From Taishan to Yishan, from Yishan to Mengshan, to Kunyu Mountain, the entire central part of Shandong is full of hills and ravines. What are these places rich in? Mountain bandits and horse thieves abound. The mountains are connected to Xusi in the west, and they have been the site of the four battles for several years. In the ninth year of Chongguan, the east was captured by the bandits, and Jinan was broken, and a large number of defeated troops fled to the Yitai Mountains as bandits; The number of refugee troops between Si was as high as 40,000 or 500,000, but the number of refugee troops that were successively defeated by the Pingji Army, Changhuai Army, and our Huaidong Army was unknown. Suppressed and fled into the mountains and rivers of Yidi. This has greatly increased the power of mountain bandits and horse bandits in the mountains and neighbors of the entire central Shandong region, and their momentum is no less than that of the East China Sea bandits in the early years..." Lin Fu stood at the Above the lecture hall, the officers and officials who were about to leave for the north all sat under the lecture hall and listened to the instructions.

"...Speaking of this, most of you can understand why I used the She family as an example. Indeed, the mountain bandits and horse thieves in the mountains of Tai, Yi, Meng and Yu are all the objects that we want to take the initiative to unite and resist the Donglu together. ——But there are some things that we need to distinguish clearly. Good experience must be learned, and bad experience must not be learned. It is a good experience for the extravagant family to unite with the East China Sea bandit forces, but it is a good experience to condone the East China Sea bandits to bring harm to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so that the common people will also be harmed. The heavy losses and scourges seem to have severely hit the military potential of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but it also made the She family unable to gain popular support and stabilize its rule even after capturing most of the two Zhejiang areas. The key factor for the situation in eastern Zhejiang is that most of the mountain bandits and horse thieves in the mountains and rivers of Yidi are from good backgrounds. For bandits, there is nothing we can do. For them, we have to let go of the past and actively strive for it. But this is a boundary. After the past, those who still harm the local area are the black sheep. Even if we can't eliminate them in a short period of time, we must not follow them. They are in the same league - and after everyone goes to Yishan, they must resolutely avoid harming the people in the area controlled by Donglu. You must know that in the future, the foundation for everyone to gain a foothold in Yishan, except for the swords, guns, bows and crossbows in your hands What's more important is to rely on the people and mobilize the people. If even the people's hearts are lost, what is there to rely on and mobilize?"

"At this time, the enemy's situation is very strong. After everyone goes north, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one village. You must make good use of the situation, make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and resolutely implement the combat strategy of 'avoiding strong enemies, disturbing the garrison, and fighting tired troops'. Preserve strength. It's not a shameful thing. We preserve our strength today in order to fight the enemy better tomorrow. War is cruel and tortuous. It is not responsible to blindly send soldiers to the front line to sacrifice without a correct understanding of the war situation. Attitude is not conducive to winning the final victory in the future, but the enemy is already tired, and we must be resolute in our attack, not afraid of sacrifice... I hope everyone here can analyze the situation independently , to become a qualified general of the Huaidong Army..."

Lin Fu, Qin Chengzu, Gao Zongting and others personally sent Chen Daozi and others to embark on the journey. In order to save time, they would directly ride horses through the Yinan area controlled by the Liang family.

Looking at the cavalry team heading north, Gao Zongting said with emotion: "If this work could be done a year earlier, it would be great."

"Longfu to look at Shu," Qin Chengzu smiled slightly, saying that Gao Zongting was not greedy enough, and said, "A year ago, the Liang family still tightly controlled Yinan; the Gu family knew that Huaidong sent people to Yishan, and they might send troops directly into Yi. Sanjin Suppression - how could they have the foresight to know Huaidong so painstakingly, but also to leave a way for them?"

Gao Zongting smiled bitterly.

Lin Bie said indifferently: "Although the situation is more urgent, there is no shortage of time..."

Zhou Pu rode a horse, galloped from the city, turned over and dismounted before him, and said cursingly: "The Liang family of dog days really has no seeds - the news just came from the north that Liang Chengchong abandoned the plain at the end of July. , and all the troops and horses were withdrawn to the south bank of the Yellow River. Because of the ferry boat, they pushed each other and drowned thousands of people!"

In the Sumen case, the Liang family was one of the masterminds, and the generals and officers promoted by the Jingbei Hou Suhu in the frontier army were almost all suppressed by the Liang family, and there were even many people who disappeared inexplicably without any news— - Qin Chengzu, Zhou Pu and other old generals of the Su family have absolutely no good feelings for the Liang family and their sons.

"The situation is even more urgent!" Gao Zongting said with a frown and smack of lips, "The Donglu soldiers captured Linzi and threatened the Liang family's flank, but Liang Cheng rushed to the plains, so why didn't they threaten the Donglu's entry into Qingzhou's flank? Withdrawal, Yangxin was completely isolated. In the absence of a flank threat, Ye Jiduodi was able to send more troops and horses to enter Linzi directly from the east line before Yangxin was pulled out... The Donglu was in Linzi To gather more troops and horses, there are two options: one: you can go to the southwest, pass through the low hills between Taishan and Yishan, forcibly insert Tai'an, and cut off the back road of the Liang family retreating from Jinan to the south..."

"This choice, Ye Jiduodi probably won't choose," Qin Chengzu said, "Once Tai'an falls, Liang Xi, Liang Chengchong and his son's retreat will be cut off, but the west is the defense line of the Changhuai Army, and Liang Chengyi is in charge of the west. The defending Hezhong Mansion has support, but it has not yet fallen into a siege. It must be based on Jinan... No matter how stupid Liang Xi, Liang Chengchong and his son are, there are 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses in their hands. As long as there is no shortage of rice in Jinan, How can we hold on? For Ye Jiduodi, it is better to put pressure on the front, forcing the Liang family and their son to abandon Jinan and flee to the south of Jinan.

"If from the front, the Liang family and their sons were forced to abandon Jinan and escape from the Pingyuan Mansion, and Ye Jiduodi led a main force to slowly enter the Pingyuan Mansion, it would take some time. Then he can do the second thing on the Eastern Front. The choice is to use Chen Zhihu as the vanguard, intersperse eastward, and capture Dengzhou Water Town!" Gao Zongting said in a firm tone, "Your Excellency, you should immediately make a secret message to the imperial court, please withdraw the Dengzhou Navy, and destroy all the water in the Denglai area on the spot. Building facilities and sites for ships, forcing craftsmen to go south..."

"The imperial court ordered Ye Liufei to refuse to implement it. How should I handle it?" Ye Junan asked.

Even if the imperial court protects the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River, it does not want the shipyards and craftsmen in the Dengzhou Navy and Denglai area to fall into the hands of Yanhu. The only thing to worry about is Liu Yefei. The Dengzhou navy army retreated south, but Liu Yefei, as the prefect of Dengzhou, could not retreat south. If Liu Yefei was loyal to the court, he would naturally follow the order; if Liu Yefei had already decided to surrender to Yanhu at this time, he would do everything possible to obstruct the Dengzhou water. The division goes south, in order to obtain more capital to surrender in front of Yan Hu...

"Kill those who resist the decree, and what nonsense is there to talk about with those who intend to rebel?" Lin Fu said coldly, and instructed Ye Junan to say, "Mr. Ye, please go and draw up the book with Zong Ting, and send someone today. Deliver it to Jiangning... Please come to the secret order, and go directly north to Dengzhou from Jiangning by sea, and the time should be in time."

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

In the Yahou residence of Linzi Mansion, the dog Lu Xiong sat in distress under the shade of the willows by the small pond, half-squinting at the lotus pods and green lotus leaves in the pond. For the past year, what he didn't understand was that since he and Chen Zhihu wanted to avenge the commander-in-chief, why did they help Donglu attack the city and loot the land and kill the city? And those who have been favored by the emperor, look serious, and are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, why are they rushing to join the Eastern captives?

Lu Xiong is as powerful as a tiger, but he can't figure out many things, but the commander-in-chief drugged him to death, which filled him with resentment, like a murder weapon. Chen Zhihu drove him to attack the city, like a slaughter; Watching the house and guarding the courtyard, he could only pin his affection for the commander-in-chief on Chen Zhihu.

"You go back and tell the surnamed Liu, there is no chance to bargain in front of me. I gave him a condition today, and the Three Kings or the Emperor of Heaven will not allow it in the end. It's not all nonsense," came the low voice like spring thunder from the room with the carved window open. "Liu's heart should also understand what Dayan needs. As long as he can keep these for Dayan, he still has no way out?"

After a while, several people came out of the house. Even in the inner courtyard, these people looked very uneasy.

Pulling the carriage directly to the inner courtyard, the carriage was covered tightly~www.readwn.com~ no seams were exposed. Seeing those few strange figures got into the carriage and never showed up again, the dog Lu Xiong stood up and beat him. Hitting his waist, he said to himself, "Damn it, why don't you take your face off for fear of showing your face?"

The carriage drove out of the house, and Chen Zhihu came out of the house.

Chen Zhi had a huge back, and even in the inner house, he was wearing soft armor. There was a large spot on his face, like a tiger pattern. The left forehead was naturally sunk in, and his lips were cut open, which made his appearance look extremely ferocious and ugly.

This defect in appearance caused him to be abandoned by his parents when he was young, and adopted by a monastery to become a monk since childhood. Even as a monk, he was bullied so much that the old monk who adopted him died at the age of thirteen. The fire burned down the monastery, and the grass fell into the hands of bandits.

The dog boy Lu Xiong asked, "Master Tiger, is there still a battle to be fought?"

"Maybe!" Chen Zhihu said lightly, when he opened his mouth, his mouth cracked even more, like a living tiger's face.

"Master Tiger, do you think Mr. Gao knows that we help the Hu people fight, will he blame us? Will the commander-in-chief blame us when he is in the palace of the King of Hell?" asked Lu Xiong, the dog boy.

"Since you've made up your mind to avenge the commander-in-chief, are you still afraid that the commander-in-chief will blame you?" Chen Zhihu asked back, seeing the dog Lu Xiong scratching his forehead inexplicably, he smiled, and then looked into the distance with his brows fixed, thinking to himself: Handsome, don't blame me, I've done my righteousness to you, and there is nothing in this hellish court that deserves my allegiance...

Chen Zhihu touched the ugly spot covering half of his face again, remembering the humiliation and torture he suffered in his childhood, and recalling that at first he was summoned to the temple by Emperor Chongguan. For the land under his feet, Chen Zhihu only had incessant resentment in his heart. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
