Lord of the House

Linzhou City was washed twice by the refugee army, and the city was in ruins. The strong people were either coerced to join the army, thieves, or exiled, and there were not one out of ten people in the city. After the Liang clan recovered Linzhou, although they appointed officials to Linzhou, they just wanted to scrape from Linzhou, and had no intention of investing half a cent of food. To this day, the county government office that was requisitioned for Lin Fu as a hut is also broken and broken and decayed.

The north wind howled furiously, and the tiles on the roof rattled—it was also a temporary solution to garrison the army in Linzhou.

Lin Fu has no intention of guarding Linzhou, so naturally he will not spend his energy to renovate the house, and even completely destroy the city of Linzhou before evacuating.

Linzhou is not far from Xuzhou, about three hundred miles away. In the east of Linzhou, Juyeze, Weishan Lake, Dushan Lake, Zhaoyang Lake, Nanyang Lake and other lakes are connected end to end, forming a group of lakes connecting Xuzhou in the south.

The mighty Sishui River also flows into this lake group from the northeast, and flows out of Xuzhou to Siyang, where it joins the Huaihe River. The freezing period of lake counties such as Weishan Lake is only a little more than two months.

From the geographical situation, the first line of defense in Huaisi is centered on Xuzhou City, and the northern line extends to Linzhou, which is not suitable.

Only Huaidong defended Linzhou, and Yanhu's troops in Henan and Shandong wanted to go west to attack Huaixi, Nanyang and other places. In other words, guarding Linzhou in Huaidong is actually equivalent to taking the vast majority of military pressure on behalf of Dong Yuan in Huaixi and Liang Chengchong in Nanyang in disguise.

Lin Fu was not willing to make wedding dresses for others, so he decided to give up Linzhou, and he didn't even plan to defend Yutai, so he directly withdrew the peripheral defense line to the front line of Peixian County, which was only a hundred miles away from Xuzhou City.

In fact, to make such a decision, Huaidong is also forcing pressure from many sides.

If the outer line of defense is set in Linzhou, it will extend two hundred miles northwards relative to Peixian County. Under the threat of Yanhu Iron Hoof, eight or nine more fortresses need to be built before the line of defense can be filled. Once the fort is built, it will naturally have to fill in more than 10,000 soldiers. Once there are too many troops and resources contained in the northern front, it will inevitably weaken the investment in other areas.

Pei County, facing Guangqi County on the east bank with Weishan Lake, can serve as a vassal outside Xuzhou, while Guangqi County shields Yinan, Yizhou and other places on the inside, and the outer defense line is withdrawn to Peixian and Guangqi. For Huaidong, it is the most economical.

Lin Fu was planning to withdraw the troops in the official hall. Gao Zongting and Ye Junan pushed the door in from the outside, and brought in a cold wind, which made the desk letter "wow".

"The She family is afraid to give up Fuyang." Gao Zongting said.

"Well," Lin Fu threw the dossier in his hand aside and asked Gao Zongting and Ye Junan to sit in front, and said, "Our plan to slow down the troops didn't work!"

Yan Hu was not sure to remove Xuzhou all at once, so he would not be in a hurry to fight further south, and the main force would shrink back to Jinan to rest, which was not unpredictable. After getting through this winter, the pressure on the front line of Huaisi will be relieved a lot.

When the Changhuai Army withdraws to Huaixi and fills in Huaixi, the soldiers and horses in Luzhou and other places will be able to live, and it is possible to suffocate the She family in western Zhejiang from many aspects.

The plan of delaying the army did not sell. At this time, the luxury family decided to break the wrist of the strong man, and decided to give up Fuyang, and transferred all the tens of thousands of elites in Fuyang to the west to seek a breakthrough from the western front. Lin Fu and Huaidong really couldn't do anything about it.

The She family abandoned Fuyang but not Dongyang County. Huaidong's forces in eastern Zhejiang and southern Zhejiang kept its Dongyang County garrison in place and couldn't move, but the Hanghu Army headed by Meng Yishan was able to escape.

After retaking Fuyang, the flank was no longer threatened by Mingzhou and Kuaiji. The Hanghu Army only needed part of the force to block the two narrow openings from Tonglu to Fuyang and Chun'an to Linshui, and the force was obviously quite abundant. .

If Huaidong's forces in southern and eastern Zhejiang can escape, they can be quickly organized to attack the coast of eastern Fujian from the sea, or even go south from Pingyang to attack Xiapu in northern Fujian, which can contain or even disrupt the westward advance of the luxury family. plan.

But can we expect the Hanghu Army to cooperate with Huaidong Water Camp to attack Mindong by sea? I am afraid that after the army of the extravagant family has poured into Jiangxi from Xin and Fu, Jiangning will make a belated decision to transfer the Hangzhou-Hu army westward to support Jiangxi, but it has missed the opportunity, how can there be enough time?

"Can you capture Fuyang first?" Ye Junan asked.

Lin Bie frowned, thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "It is not advisable to spread the troops and horses too loosely. Fuyang and Linshui should be left to Meng Yishan. This will not only reduce the number of troops stationed in Xiaoshan, but also the third water battalion. Can be withdrawn from Qianjiang."

Fuyang is very tempting. If Meng Yishan doesn't realize that the luxury family will completely abandon Fuyang, Linshui and other places, Huaidong will have the opportunity to send troops to occupy it first. Huaidong's biggest problem at the moment is that the troops and horses are too scattered, and they cannot move because of the various defense lines. Many things are passive, and it is difficult to take the initiative to grasp the fighter.

In addition, sending troops to occupy Fuyang first, which is equivalent to digging a large piece from the periphery of Hangzhou, and there will be many disputes with the Hanghu Army and the Wu Party, which is not a good thing.

"The She family can be so cruel, and they can gather 100,000 elites on the western front; it seems that Ganzhou is doomed this time." Gao Zongting said.

When the She family seized Zhejiang County, they successively captured Xinzhou and Fuzhou prefectures that were originally affiliated to Jiangxi, and inserted Jiangxi in the middle. In order to facilitate the prevention, Jiangxi was divided into Ganzhou and Jiangzhou, and the envoys were divided into two divisions for defense.

The Ganzhou system actually includes most of the area from Yuzhang (now Nanchang) to the south, the upper reaches of Poyang Lake and the banks of the Ganjiang River.

The Jiangzhou system includes the lower reaches of Poyang Lake and the area along the river in Jiangxi.

The luxury family is getting more and more difficult in the east, and it is impossible to suddenly capture Jiangning. Going west is to expand the living space, occupy the central and southern regions of Jiangxi, and first control the Poyang Lake and the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River. It is undoubtedly the only choice that the luxury family can have at this time.

"If Ganzhou can survive for two months, the situation may not be too bad." Ye Junan said.

"Yeah, the key depends on whether Ganzhou can last for two months." Lin Bie said with emotion.

Now Yanhu has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses piled up in Shouzhang, whether it is the Huaidong Army, the Changhuai Army or the Huaixi of Dongyuan, if they want to retreat south, they can't hastily, they have to retreat south slowly, without leaving the slightest flaw, and they can't give Yan Hu cavalry pounced on it.

The Hehuai line of defense must be stabilized, and it will take at least two months to transfer troops from the northern line to support the southern line. In addition, it must be confirmed that Yan Hu will not pose a threat on the northern line for the time being before daring to deploy reinforcements from the north to the south. .

At this time, Liu Miaozhen and others came in, and Gao Zongting and Ye Junan sat down on both sides in turn.

Lin Fu and Liu Miaozhen said: "The She family is likely to use troops against Jiangxi in the next few days, or they may give up Fuyang. You are in Linzhou, not only to guard against the direction of Shouzhang, but also to guard against the possibility of Liang's surrender to the enemy. When the Changhuai and Huaixi armies have withdrawn, I will take care of you in Xuzhou."

"Miaozhen will follow your orders." Liu Miaozhen leaned down and bowed.

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

Due to changes in the situation in Fuyang, Lin Fu did not wait until the end, but let Liu Miaozhen lead his troops behind the Linzhou Palace, and he first retreated to Xuzhou.

Two days after Lin Funan returned to Xuzhou, news came that She Feixiong had divided his troops into two routes, starting from Wuyuan and Shangrao in Xinzhou, and advancing westward along the Wujiang and Xinjiang.

Jiangxi is in danger, but it has little impact on Xuzhou, and Xuzhou is still immersed in the Yuqing of the great victory.

Jiangning's awards to Lin Fu and Huaidong generals also arrived in Xuzhou with Zhang Yubo returning from his debriefing in Jiangning.

Lin Fu was conferred the title of Duke of Pengcheng County, the second-rank and fourth-class noble, with 2,000 households in food towns, and he was the real leader; he was appointed as an envoy in Huaidong and Zhedong, and he also led Xuzhou as an envoy. Liu Miaozhen and other generals were given military titles such as Commander of Light Vehicles.

Liu An'er only executed Chen Hansan after accepting the recruitment. Although this plan was due to Yue Lengqiu, but Chen Hansan rebelled, Jiang Ning naturally put all the confusion on Chen Hansan's head, and officially named Liu An'er as Uncle Fengyang and General of Haozhou~www.readwn .com~ From his son to his rank, there are five hundred households in the town.

Food towns are divided into real and false, ordinary fiefs are just false grants, and finally converted into food town money and received by the person receiving the title.

Five hundred households in food towns only receive forty or fifty taels of food town money every year. Who is still short of dozens of taels of silver every year?

Lin Fu actually led 2,000 households, which meant that the 2,000 households that were classified as Linfu-led towns had their tax rights separated from the local government, and Lin Fu could directly send tax collectors there. In a world where the right to tax is almost the same as the right to govern, these two thousand households also become Lin Fu's subjects, meaning very different.

This is also due to the fact that the achievements of southern Zhejiang and Kuaiji were not rewarded, and the victory in Xuzhou was delayed. Jiang Ning could not delay the reward for his meritorious deeds, and he was afraid that he would be awarded the Duke of the State all of a sudden, and then there would be no room for the reward.

Nowadays, the only one who has different surnames and crowns the king is the Cao clan in Guanzhong. Jiang Ning didn't dare to confer the king's title to Lin Fu easily.

Zhang Yubo is also a minister of merit. He has been with Chen Hansan for several years and has played a great role in containing and restricting Chen Hansan. At the critical moment, he cooperated with Liu Xilin and the palace guard camp to defend the Chu palace and successfully seized the city—— said It was Zhang Yubo who first proposed the strategy of swindling and enticing the enemy.

Zhang Yubo has merit and promotion is due, but it was Lin Fu who officially recommended Liu Miaozhen and knew Xuzhou who finally prompted Zhang Yubo to return to Jiangning to serve as the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Not only Zhang Yubo will leave Xuzhou, but King Yuan Hancheng of Chu will also move his vassal to another place.

First, Yuan Hancheng and Huaidong have always had problems, and there will be no fundamental changes because of this incident; second, the Chu palace was almost destroyed by war twice, and the family was almost wiped out twice - Lin Fu intends to Xuzhou was built into a pure military town, and it was located on the periphery and frontier of the two armies on the opposite side. Naturally, it was no longer suitable for the residence of Wang Fan. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
