Lord of the House

From Mufu Mountain to the northwest, it is the territory of Xianning County, Ezhou.

Several people came out of the valley, stopped halfway up the mountain, and observed the villages in the mountains.

The village is not big. There are more than a dozen families in the mountains, and the shabby thatched huts. At a glance, you can see that there is nothing to fish for.

"School Deng Zuo," a man dressed as a mountain villager came up from the path and crouched down behind the bushes, as if afraid that the villagers in the col would see it, and reported to the leading man, "There is a stockade outside the col. , there are thirty or fifty village soldiers, and we can't pass until night; let's go back to see the lieutenant..."

The leading man was Deng Fu, the captain of the left department under the jurisdiction of the Yuanzhou Governor's Office. At this time, he fled from Xiayuanbei to the territory of Xianning. He did not have a good rest for more than ten days. Yuelin, with sunken eye sockets and messy beards, was like a lost dog. At this time, they all dressed as ordinary soldiers, took off their fine scales and replaced them with dull ordinary leather armor, and fled to the mountainous area of ​​southern Hubei.

Hearing that there was a cottage outside the col, Deng Fu put his hand on the saber on his waist, and said in a deep voice: "You have to pass through Ezhou, and you need to be in contact with outsiders. The word lieutenant..." He glanced down the mountain, and then led the man down into the valley.

Walking through the steep places, there are hidden paths in the woods and bushes that warn one or two people to enter and exit the valley.

Chen Zishou and the remnants had been hiding in the depths of the valley since the day before yesterday.

Chen Zishou was defeated on the way to Xiayuan, and learned that Zhou Zhi was secretly going to Huaidong. For more than ten days, Chen Zishou led the remnants to flee north all the way, and did not reach the northern foot of Mufu Mountain until the day before yesterday.

Deng Fu and the others walked back, walked to Chen Zishou, who had a messy beard and long cheeks, and said, "Further north, it is Xianning County. Between the hills and mountains, the population is much denser. Although Hu Wenmu wants to strengthen the defenses of Jiangxia and Jingzhou. , after May, a large number of troops and horses were transferred to the north, but in Ezhou to guard against Huaidong, there were still more than ten thousand troops and horses left behind, if we exposed the whereabouts, Hu Wenmu would not be able to let us sneak to Hanjin smoothly..."

Hanjin is on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and more than 300 people run away at night for two or three hundred miles. It is not a big problem, but it is not easy to cross the Yangtze River without a trace.

"According to what I said, I simply set up a village in the Mufu Mountains, and one after another, there were defeated soldiers fleeing from the south. With the reputation of the deputy governor, it was not difficult to recruit three or five thousand people. Birds?" said a black-faced general.

"Mufu Mountain can't be stopped, let alone the whereabouts of the deputy governor," Deng Fu said. "When Yuanzhou's troops were first defeated, the battlefield was on the north bank of Yuanhe River, and 20,000 to 30,000 defeated soldiers fled north to Heshan and Mengshan. There are deserters all over the mountains and plains, and the Huaidong Army has no way to clear them one by one. We are two or three hundred people hiding among them, so we can escape smoothly. If the whereabouts of the lieutenant governor are exposed, will the East China Sea Fox easily let it go?"

Chen Zishou was surrounded by more than 300 direct descendants, and he did not dare to stop to gather up the defeated troops, so he successfully escaped from Yuanzhou Mansion.

"To the northeast of Mufu Mountain is the border of Xiushui County, Jiangzhou Prefecture. We are now in the northwest of Mufu Mountain. In fact, in Xianning County, Ezhou, it is a defense area under the jurisdiction of the Jinghu Army. Donghai Fox doesn't want to let us go, so what can we do? "Chen Zishou was a traitor, mostly from Jiangzhou, and he was quite familiar with the situation in Jiuling and Mufu Mountain. A bearded general did not agree with Deng Fu being too careful and retorted.

Although Chen Zishou's remnants were only two or three hundred people, they were all Chen Zishou's confidants and direct descendants, and many people were familiar with military geography.

"In the early summer, Hu Wenmu, in response to the situation in the Jingxiang area, transferred Jinghu troops to Jiangxia and Jingzhou on a large scale to strengthen their defenses. , we have to establish a foothold in Mufu Mountain, and Hu Wenmu's troops in Xianning can't help us." Another general said.

"Lin Fu lives as a privy envoy and is in charge of the military and government of the world. Although Jinghu is headed by Hu Wenmu, it is also under the jurisdiction of Jiangning in name. Lin Fu is a privy envoy to transfer troops into Ezhou, and there is nothing wrong, especially Lin Fu is also in Yuan Hu Wenmu is even less likely to openly resist Lin Fu,” Deng Fu said, “Take a ten thousand steps back and say that once the deputy governor leaked his whereabouts in Ezhou, Hu Wenmu did not want Lin Fu to have an excuse to transfer troops to Ezhou, and he would definitely I won't sit idly by the Vice-Chairman..."

"This one doesn't work either, that one doesn't work either, you have to say a good way," the bearded man said angrily, "We can't beat the Huaidong Army, is it even worse than the Jinghu Army?"

"Lin Fu is in Xiayuan at this time, and there is no sign of going north. Huaidong's main force in Yuanzhou is mainly Zhang Xiongshan, who is besieging Xinyu City. For a while, Gu Xiao can't escape into the broken troops between the mountains in northwestern Jiangxi. "At this time, a young general squeezed in from the periphery and said, "In addition, Nanyang is about to fall, and to deal with the critical situation in Jingxiang, Lin Fu should quickly transfer the main troops in the hinterland of Jiangxi to the north after winning Xinyu. Rather than scatter troops and horses between the mountains in northwestern Jiangxi to chase down those defeated soldiers. Also, because of the imminent fall of Nanyang, She and Luo, together with the Beiyan army, are about to go south to attack Jingzhou. We stayed in Mufu Mountain and contained Hu Wenmu in Jingzhou. Nan's soldiers and horses are more useful than two or three hundred people rushing across the river to flee to luxury homes. It is also like Deng Zuo's sentence to the army. If Dad's whereabouts are leaked in Mufu Mountain, Hu Wenmu is likely to transfer troops from Ezhou. Hit us, but then again, can we still beat Hu Wenmu's troops in Ezhou?"

The young general was Chen Zishou's son, Chen Tong. He fought with Chen Zishou in the camp since he was a child. This time he was able to escape together, and did not stay in Yuanzhou to be liquidated by Huaidong.

"Mountain Mufu is also dangerous. Even if three or five thousand people can be gathered, what about the military food?" Deng Fu asked.

Chen Zishou led the remnants to flee north all the way, and did not dare to reveal their whereabouts. Not only did they dare not make contact with other defeated soldiers along the way, they also did not dare to attack the cottages with defensive strength, and the villages living in groups were not easily looted. The eyes of the 300 people have been starving and green for more than ten days.

"Even if you build two or three large stockades, even if the mountains are closed, it should not be a problem to persist for half a year," Chen Tong said, "After half a year, Jingzhou has fallen, Yan rides and drinks horses on the north bank of the Yangtze River, maybe Hu Wenmu will also surrender to Beiyan at that time. At that time, we will have three or five thousand soldiers and horses in our hands, so we will not be looked down upon!"

Further north, in the territory of Xianning County, the hills and mountains are densely populated, and it is also the central area of ​​Ezhou, Jingzhou. Once you leave Mufu Mountain, you must quickly rush to the south bank of the Yangtze River to find a way to find a boat to cross the river.

Deng Fu's plan was to send a few people to cross the river first, contact Yang Xiong, who was guarding Hanjin, and make an appointment to ask Yang Xiong to send a boat to the south bank to pick them up across the river. However, the real problem, Chen Zishou is surrounded by more than 300 people, how can he be taken seriously when he crosses the river to Hanjin?

However, staying in Mufu Mountain is not reliable.

The 40,000 Yuanzhou army was defeated, and there were almost 10,000 soldiers who surrendered. Lin Fu quickly issued a pardon order to the remaining defeated soldiers fleeing northwest Jiangxi in Xiayuan City, allowing them to return home on their own.

Within the specified time limit, the defeated soldiers return to their original places and surrender their military armor, that is, they return to their hometowns and become the people, and they will not be held accountable for their previous crimes.

Deng Fu was not sure whether they could win three to five thousand troops in Mufu Mountain. Moreover, everyone fled north in anger, and many people abandoned their armour. Even if they could win three to five thousand people, their armour would not be complete.

Furthermore, even if the Sheluo family united with Beiyan to win Jingzhou in one go, it would be unrealistic to cross the river further to win Ezhou in a short period of time. Hu Wenmu had Jiangxia and Ezhou on the south bank to retreat, so how could he easily surrender Beiyan? They will stay in Mufu Mountain for more than half a year.

For a while, everyone couldn't decide whether to flee or stay, and looked at Chen Zishou, who had never said a word.

"Let's wait and see the situation at Mufu Mountain." At this time, Chen Zishou settled down in a calm voice.

Passing through Ezhou Prefecture and then looking for a boat to cross the river is very risky. If two or three hundred people cross the east to go to the luxury family, how can they pay attention to the luxury family? If Chen Zishou was someone who was at ease just to survive, he might have followed Huang Binghao all the way to the dark.

Mufu Mountain is the northern vein of the Luoxiao Mountains. Even if it is unfavorable to stand on Mufu Mountain, there are Jiuling, Heshan, Mengshan, Wugong Mountain, etc. that can be transferred to the south.

Chen Zishou slammed his fist on the rock and fought against Yuan, causing his heart to bleed. In addition to heartache, there was also an unspeakable humiliation. After fleeing all the way to the north, perhaps because he was farther away from the Huaidong soldiers and horses, the fear in his heart gradually disappeared, but the humiliation of this defeat and fleeing in the heart of Chen Zishou became more and more painful, making him almost unbearable.

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

The news that Lin Fuqin led Huaidong elites to capture Yuanzhou soon spread to the north bank.

Fast horses galloped and headed north from Hanjin. After changing three times along the way, they ran into Xinye City in one go. Not to mention stepping off their mounts, the postmen who delivered the letter almost foamed at the mouth.

Hu Zongguo opened the letter, and after reading it, he walked to the long case where the letter was reviewed in Shewenzhuang, and said, "Huang Binghao is so useless, and nearly 40,000 horses have been defeated in such a way that Luxi also fell four days ago. Now, it seems that Zhang Han will bow his head to Huaidong in Tanzhou..."

"Is there any news about Chen Zishou?" She Wenzhuang looked up and asked.

"Chen Zishou wants to escape from the old forest in the deep mountains in northwestern Jiangxi, and he has to find a boat to cross the river through Ezhou. How many troops can he pull out?" Hu Zongguo had no interest in Chen Zishou's ability to escape.

"If Chen Zishou came across the river, it wouldn't make much sense," Shewenzhuang said. "His purpose is to stay in the Jiuling and Mufu Mountains. If you can call Jiangzhou or Ezhou, you won't have to worry about it..."

"Chen Zishou is a native of Yangxin County, Jiangzhou, and is located at the foot of Jiuling Mountain. Most of his direct descendants are from Yangxin County. He is very familiar with the place. The Hu army and the Huaidong army are indeed useful," Hu Zongguo put down his useless complaint against Huang Binghao and said objectively, "I'm afraid he will be discouraged."

When Hu Zongguo said this, She Wenzhuang sighed lightly. To be honest, he was a little surprised that Yuanzhou's troops and horses were so useless and so quick to defeat the Huaidong Army, which had less than half of its troops. Shewenzhuang also hoped that Huang Binghao would be able to drag the main force of the Huaidong Army in Yuanzhou for a while.

In less than half a month~www.readwn.com~ Yuanzhou Prefecture's counties are all called Huaidong.

"Huang Binghao's troops came out of Xinyu, and asked the Huaidong Army to stop and attack. Isn't the timing a bit coincidental?" She Wenzhuang raised his head and asked Hu Zongguo.

"Didn't the governor have long ago asserted that the East China Sea Fox would abandon Nanyang and settle down in Jiangxi first?" Hu Zongguo said, "Since Zhou Zhizheng all secretly invested in Huaidong, the East China Sea Fox can know the timing of Huang Binghao's dispatch in advance and dispatch troops to intercept it in advance, so it shouldn't be an accident. what……"

"Everything is so normal, it makes people feel a little uneasy." She Wenzhuang sighed softly.

Hu Zongguo wouldn't say that people in the luxury village are worried about the sky, and they have been dealing with Huaidong these years, forcing them to have more minds. The more normal something Huaidong is on the surface, the more likely there is a trick behind it.

Furthermore, when using soldiers to the level of luxury, sometimes intuition is very important.

Shewenzhuang felt such a strong sense of unease at this time that Hu Zongguo also took a breath. Hu Zongguo sat down and sat opposite Shewenzhuang, and then carefully deduced the battle situation from the beginning, and nothing happened.

At this time, someone walked into the hall and said, "General Azige, the envoy of Yan, asks to see the Great Governor."

"Quickly, please." She Wenzhuang said.

Nahe Azige walked into the Mingtang, with no solution to the sword, he bowed to Shewenzhuang and said, "Since Yuanzhou is down, Huaidong's troops will soon go north, and we are ready to storm Nanyang, Prince Mu. Send me to Xinye, and ask the Governor to go to Nanyang to supervise the battle..."

"Okay." She Wenzhuang said.

After Zhou Fan led his troops to attack the lower city, Shewenzhuang sent Tian Chang to lead troops to cooperate with Ye Ji Luorong and Zhou Fan to surround Nanyang. Because Huang Binghao was so useless, he couldn't hold back the Huaidong Army for half a month, so they couldn't wait until Nanyang ran out of food before attacking the city... My QT room is open!
