Lord of the House

Crossing the Huai River will catch up with the first snow this winter.

Since a large number of Hu Qi is operating less than two hundred miles away from Huaiyang, Chen Hansan is quite unstable, Lin Fu crosses Huai, and his whereabouts must be kept strictly confidential. On the Huaiyang side, Liu Miaozhen, Ma Lantou, Sun Zhuang , Li Liang and a limited number of people also informed Lin Fu of the itinerary two days in advance, but they no longer went out of the city to meet them, so as not to cause the enemy to sneak into the spies.

In the vast snowflakes, hundreds of horsemen, surrounded by Lin Fu, Cao Zi'ang, Gao Zongting, Ye Junan, and others, rushed into Huaiyang City, and did not dismount until the post house.

Looking at Liu Miaozhen, Ma Lantou, Sun Zhuang and others who were standing at the inn to greet them, Lin Fu put down his hood, shook off the snow, and said, "It's winter again, I came along the road and saw the Bian River near. Thin ice has formed on the shore, how is the situation north of Huaiyang?"

"It suddenly turned cold the day before yesterday," Ma Lantou said. "The scouts sent out haven't turned around yet. The freezing situation in Baili is not serious. According to the weather, it will take half a month for the ice to solidify..."

Once the river freezes, the low hills and plains on the north side of the Huaihe River will become a paradise for cavalry fighting. The horses that Yanhu's generals ride are also famous for their cold resistance. If there is no last resort, Lin Fu really doesn't want to take his infantry out of the city to fight against Yanhu's cavalry. It's not easy to cultivate some elites.

Lin Fu looked at Sun Zhuang, pointed to his arm with a bandage hanging around his neck, and said, "You also take it easy, Huaidong is struggling with his family, and finally managed to get three or four thousand cavalry, but he doesn't want to be in great use. The knights can't get together..."

Dongping was only 400 miles away from Huaiyang, and all the cities within 100 miles around Dongping were lost except for the two cities of Caozhou and Jining. Relying on the city, the range of activities of the Yanhu cavalry naturally extends to the northwest of Xuzhou, which is less than two hundred miles away from Huaiyang.

In the past month or so, the main force of Huaiyang Town kept the fortress still, but the two cavalry within Huaiyang Town, with Li Liang and Sun Zhuang as their generals respectively, were in the area north of Huaiyang Town and tried with Yanhu Outpost. There were consecutive encounters with the cavalry. During the half-month encounter, Sun Zhuang stabbed the enemy general with a halberd in the shoulder. Although he had armor, his injuries were not minor.

Lin Bie complained, but Sun Zhuang grinned and said, "I'm too careless, what happened to me was a cavalry under the new army. Seeing that the number of people was quite equal, I thought it could be eaten. Eat it in your stomach, and you'll lose a tooth."

Lin Fu shook his head and said, "This is a trick that the enemy generals have set against you. I don't know if it was planned by Yuan Lishan. The military information sent by Huaiyang has been studied by the military commander. The activities in the north are more frequent, attract attention, the enemy will want to lure you to go deep and then encircle and eat. Fortunately, you have a great appetite at the beginning, and you will start thinking about swallowing the opponent when you encounter it. There are other enemy cavalry to outflank - and, you should not underestimate the combat power of the newly attached army. The collapse of Yanji's situation is very distressing, and what is even more distressing is that the elites previously deployed by the imperial court on the front line of Yanshan Frontier army, at this time it is the main force of the newly attached army of the southern invasion. The newly attached army is not as vulnerable as we imagined. The detailed battle report of the first battle of Qijiaji is also sent to you, which cannot be regarded as a special case. From September In the mid-to-late ten days, headed by Yuan Lishan, the newly attached army of nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses traveled from Yangxin to Linzi, crossed the intersection of Taiyi and Yishan, and interspersed with Tai'anxi. optimistic."

Without direct combat, the strength of an army can be generally judged from the state of motion.

In the past, the troops of the Yue Dynasty were divided into inner towns and border towns. Although the problems of the frontier army are also serious, they mainly occur at the first level of the generals. The lower-level officers and generals want to be corrupted, and there is nowhere to be corrupted.

The group of people who initially rebelled with Liu An'er, including Sun Zhuang himself, were mostly low-level officers from the frontier army. There were also a group of people in Huaidong, such as Qin Chengzu, Zhou Pu, and Cao Zi'ang, all of whom came out of the army.

After the collapse of Yanji's situation, the large-scale surrender of the frontier army, which was adapted into the new attached army and became the precursor of Yanhu, just solved some of the original problems of the frontier army.

Although in the battle of Yangxin five years ago, Lin Fu had beaten the rebels to the ground, but at that time, the Donglu mostly used the newly attached troops as cannon fodder. Dengzhou Qijia set a battle.

In the first battle of Dengzhou Qijiaji, Zhao Hu led his troops to repel the rebel general Gao Yi's troops, but he also suffered heavy casualties.

The most important point reflected in the first battle of Qijiaji is that in an era when the people were generally attached to the fields and the rise and fall of the country was only related to the scholar-officials, the rebel generals surrendered their troops and turned around to beat their own family members, and there was almost no psychological burden.

The Yanhu elite cavalry must be taken seriously, but the newly attached army should not be underestimated, and it is a common phenomenon for the Huaidong Army and other troops and horses under Jiangning to underestimate the newly attached army.

Right now, Sun Zhuang is suffering a bit. This is a good thing, and it is better than falling into a big trouble due to contempt in the future.

Liu Miaozhen still wore a bronze mask with rough lines, and her voice came out from behind the mask, and she said: "We also realized that there are some problems. The reconnaissance range of the Huaiyang cavalry has been strictly limited to one hundred and twenty miles..."

"Leave a little further, and don't care about the area north of Mount Mangdang..." Lin Fu said.

Mangdang Mountain is about 70 miles northwest of Huaiyang, and it is almost on a relatively straight east-west line with Xuzhou City. In this way, the range of cavalry activities can be controlled within half a day's journey from the city. Not too far behind, but almost all the areas in the northwest of Xuzhou were given up.

"Okay..." Liu Miaozhen nodded and replied. Although Lin Fu was good at using magic tricks, he was quite cautious in making various military deployments.

Furthermore, it was not easy for Huaidong to gather so many cavalry troops, and he could not withstand such intense consumption of the outpost battle. As the weather gets colder, cavalry activities in the north will become more and more frequent. With the three or four thousand cavalry in Huaiyang City, it is also very effective to suppress and restrict the enemy cavalry...

In Lin Fu's vision, the main force in Huaidong's decisive battle can only be the infantry. The cavalry is mainly used to cover the flanks of the infantry formation. It is purely cavalry against Yanhu, and Lin Fu loses even if he loses his underwear. I can't afford it.

In the plain area, the infantry and cavalry are confronted. Because the cavalry is flexible and has the initiative on the battlefield, the flanks of the infantry are often the weak points for the cavalry to break through. A small number of elite cavalry are used to cover the flanks of the infantry, which is a classic strategy summed up by the ancients. , which is something no one is exempt from or can innovate at will.

At present, Jeju is a relatively stable horse breeding area in Huaidong’s hands. In addition, Huaidong listed Daheng Island for horse breeding and purchases good horses from Fusang Honshu and other places, and can only guarantee the supply of four to five thousand war horses every year. Quantity - Due to the combat principle of shooting horses first on the battlefield, once the cavalry is on the battlefield, the consumption of the horses will far exceed that of the generals; after deducting the needs of the generals and scouts to explore the horses, Huaidong will work **** the cavalry. The scale is maintained at about 6,000 people, and it even needs to select some fine breeds from camel horses and farming horses to supplement it.

After talking for a while at the entrance of the inn, Lin Fu introduced Ye Junan to the generals of Huaiyang, and walked to the inn. Combat power, this is also the main reason why he worked hard to follow Lin Fu to Huaiyang.

In the Xusi area, Huaiyang and Xuzhou are quite special existences, both of which originated from the Huaisi refugee army, and were compiled by recruiting security. Ye Junan sighed that Huaiyang Town was so quietly used by Huaidong.

It was as warm as spring when they entered the room. Liu Miaozhen, Ma Lantou and others were all seated in the center with Lin tie, and they insisted on letting Cao Zian take the upper seat. Afterwards, Liu Miaozhen, Ma Lantou, Gao Zongting, Ye Junan and others sat down on both sides in turn.

Huaiyang Town's name is under the control of the Huaidong Military Division. Lin Fu sits in the center and there is nothing to say, but insisting on letting Cao Zi'ang take the top position is actually calmly setting the title of master and slave. Otherwise, Cao Zi'ang and Liu Miaozhen should sit at the table only in accordance with the rules.

Drinking hot tea, his body that was cold in the wind and snow gradually warmed up. Lin Fu told Ma Lantou and the others, "Since I'm here, I plan to send someone to Xuzhou and invite Chen Hansan and Zhang Yubo to Huaiyang... "

"Chen Hansan probably didn't dare to move the nest~www.readwn.com~ Ma Lantou said.

"I didn't expect him to come," Lin Fu said. "But if he doesn't come, at least he can be charged with disobeying the military order. If he really wants to take the initiative in the future, there are reasons."

Jiangning officially designated the area west of Bianshui as Huaidong's defense zone, including Xuzhou, including the remnants of Shandong's army east of Bianshui, all of which had to accept Huaidong's restraint. Lin Bie summoned Chen Hansan in Huaiyang. If he didn't, it wouldn't be wrong to put a charge of violating the military order on his head.

To attack Chen Hansan, Ma Lantou and the others are the most motivated. They wish that Chen Hansan would be tricked into Huaiyang to kill him tonight. Of course, this is a delusion. You won't fall for this easily. But listening to Lin Bing's tone, no matter whether he can grasp the evidence or not, as long as the situation is favorable, Chen Hansan will attack - this attitude, Ma Lantou, Sun Zhuang and others like it.

The problem of Chen Hansan is very difficult. Chen Hansan himself has 20,000 elites in Xuzhou who are loyal to him, and the main force of the Yanhu army is less than two hundred miles away from Xuzhou. It is almost no pain to remove Chen Hansan's department. If the possibility is lost, send an envoy to Xuzhou. Lin Fu's main purpose is to summon Zhang Yubo to Huaiyang to meet.

In addition to sending envoys to Xuzhou to summon Chen Hansan and Zhang Yubo, Lin Fu also sent people to Guoyang to contact Dong Yuan.

Huaidong was in charge of the eastern front, Dong Chengren was in charge of the western front, and the company commander Huai Army was also placed under his control, half a step away from Jiangning agreeing to withdraw the Changhuai Army into Huaixi and be drafted.

Lin Fu and Dong Yuan were of equal status. They were both the right servants of the Ministry of War and commanding officers. There was no question of who summoned whom. It's just that Jue Lin Fu was conferred the title of Marquis, and his power was above Dong Yuan, and there was something to discuss. Dong Yuan sent an envoy to see Lin Fu, but Lin Fu also had to send someone to inform Dong Yuan that others had arrived in Huaiyang. My QT room is open!
