Lord of the House: Chapter 102 Enemy reappears

After crossing the trestle and rushing to Huaiyang City for fifty miles, Lin Fu and others were already starving. After meeting with Liu Miaozhen and others, they rested against the beacon tower at the end of the trestle.

The garrison is a brick fort of more than ten feet square. On weekdays, Huaiyang Town sends a team of soldiers from the capital to guard and control the trestle.

Lin Fu accompanied the cavalry guards and the team that came out of the city with Liu Miaozhen to meet them, adding up to nearly a thousand people. Don't talk about horses, there is no place to sit when people enter the garrison, and Lin Fu is also casual, just resting outside the garrison, the wind and snow are not unbearable.

The scouts went out to explore the horses, and the cavalry scattered in groups, using horses to block the wind and snow on the periphery, feeding the horses with food and eating hard wheat cakes on the side sheltered from the wind; Set the stove, take the snow and boil the water, put the meat and cook the soup.

On this trip, I went to Huaiyang with Lin Fu to inspect, and Sun Jingtang, Li Wei, Gao Zongting, Tang Fuguan, Zhou Pu and others, together with Lin Fu, Liu Miaozhen, Ma Lantou, Sun Zhuang, Li Liang and others, were in the snowy field. Sitting around a big iron pot that was burning loudly. The pervasive smell of meat came from the nostrils, which made people eat insects.

Materials are in short supply in Huaisi, so many displaced households have to be resettled, and all the snakes and rats in the wild are eaten cleanly. However, the soldiers all supply meat according to the amount, take snow to boil water, wash the salted dried meat and salted dried fish and throw them into the pot. , and then pick some edible wild vegetables and add them to the stew, which becomes the most anticipated delicious meat soup on the hard march.

Li Liang looked at Lin Fu holding a bowl of broth and drank it with relish. He felt strange in his heart and asked, "Does the food in the army taste good even when eaten by the cook?"

"Why doesn't it taste? Well, do you think I can't get the delicious food every day when I hide?" Lin Fu asked back with a smile, and then said seriously, "I don't like wine very much. If Li Shuai wants to drink it, I can accompany you for a few bowls. But I like to eat meat, braised, and prefer pork to mutton."

Li Liang smiled shyly, and Ma Lantou came over and said, "Only rich and noble people can eat meat these days, and noble people like to eat sheep and hate pigs, so Jianghuai raises more sheep and less pigs. The wealthier family only raises a pig to kill one's cravings at the end of the year, but only large-scale pig raising in Huaidong..."

Lin Fu knew that Ma Lantou had doubts and was embarrassed to ask directly, and replied with a smile: "My nickname of 'pig herder' is not for nothing, I am famous for raising pigs in Jiangning - those rich people only know mutton. It’s better than pork, and I don’t know how to make a detailed account.” Lin Fie broke his fingers to settle accounts with Ma Lantou, and said, “A sheep raised from the beginning of the year to the end of the year can only kill 30 to 40 catties of meat, while a pig can kill three or four times as much. The meat can be eaten by pigs in water; the oil can be used to cook vegetables to make wax; the leather of pigs can barely make armor, but it is very useful for making boots, armor, and belts; bristles can make brushes, and bristle brushes are Good things, tung oil should be rubbed on boats, and bristle brushes are good and fast; the hay in pig pens can be composted, and one acre of pig fat is enough for one acre of land, at least one stone of rice grain can be produced. Abandoning pigs and raising sheep because mutton tastes better?"

"I also raise pigs..." Ma Lantou replied with a hearty smile.

"Some people are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and what they say is better than what they sing. The officials and generals in Huaidong, I told them: Don't talk to me about those mysterious and mysterious things, so that you can't starve people in your governance, it is the most basic. Benevolence, the most basic righteousness, and the most basic virtue; they all say that natural disasters and man-made disasters are the greatest violation of morality," Lin Fu added: "As for the distribution of materials, Huaidong's materials are also in short supply now, so he is in the army. Medium-level supply. Officers work harder, so there will be some additional material subsidies for officers, but they are limited. The basic starting point for making these arrangements is to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops and better peace and stability of the people, not to cultivate the style of the officials. ——Whoever contributes the most, who has the highest credit, and whoever is diligent and diligent, will be better protected. If we don’t do this, won’t everyone shrink behind others in wars?”

Everyone laughed.

Even in the past year, he has been supported by Huaidong to overcome the difficulties, accepted Zhao'an as Huaiyang Town Army and accepted the control of Huaidong Military Division and is on the right track. Generals such as Ma Lantou and Li Liang are grateful to Huaidong. But Lin Fu himself is more than awe-inspiring but hard to get close to.

After all, I have only seen Lin Fu's fierce methods on the battlefield before, and Lin Fu's reputation in Huaidong has reached a place that no one can replace. Even if Ma Lantou, Li Liang and others are still vigilant, they still look up to them. Look at Lin Fu from a mentality.

When Lin Fu came to Huaiyang to inspect, Ma Lantou, Li Liang and others were also quite surprised. Even though they felt Lin Fu's trust in Huaiyang Town, they felt uneasy and didn't know how to approach in order to be considered appropriate, but they didn't expect it. Lin Fu's tone, manner, and content of what he said made them feel approachable, and all of a sudden, the distance between the two sides was shortened.

Although there are no delicacies from mountains and seas, but in the wild, surrounded by a pot of broth, everyone ate with relish and talked freely, which made Gao Zongting quite emotional.

Lin Fu was about to come to Huaiyang for an inspection. Gao Zongting held an objection. After all, a year ago, everyone was still seriously opposed to each other. Even now, Huaiyang Junzhen still maintains considerable independence and only accepts Huaidong in name. With the restraint of the military commander, who can guarantee that the people in Huaiyang Town have no ambition at all?

Counting the time to cross the trestle to dine in the wild, it was also planned by Gao Zongting, just to use this short time to observe whether the generals in Huaiyang Town were abnormal. Seeing this scene, Gao Zongting knew that someone was born to win people's hearts. When it comes to winning people's hearts, it's nothing more than to know what others need and what you can give.

However, the picnic was not a peaceful one. Lin Bing had drank the broth and stood up with the generals to move their waists and legs. The cavalry led the horses and scattered in line. In the north of Huaiyang City, an infiltrated Yanhu outpost was found...

"Fifteen people in a team, wearing leather armor, holding swords and bows, all with two horses!" Lin Fu took the letter handed over by Liu Miaozhen, looked at it, and said, "It's a standard Yanhu Youshao..." He also Not much to say, if Liu Miaozhen couldn't handle even a few small Yanhu Youshou that infiltrated, it would not be in vain to invest so many resources in Huaisi for the past year.

"Let them in and beat them a few times before they become more honest." Liu Miaozhen ordered.

Yan and Hu's sentries are both on horses, and they are capable of riding and shooting. If they send troops to intercept them before they cross the line of defense, at most they will be driven away, and it will be difficult to bite their tails. Put them in, and two or more cavalry will attack them, and they will be able to bite them fiercely. After a few times, they can make Yanhu Youshao become more honest, knowing that the Huaiyang defense line is not only for the city and can let him be like into nowhere.

There is no way to do this. The number of cavalry in Huaiyang Town is very limited, and the harassing sentry by Yanhu can only be intercepted or outflanked by cavalry; Lure into the opponent's ambush.

During the most difficult time last year, the Huaiyang Town Army killed even the most precious war horses to keep people alive, and the nearly 1,000 elite cavalry soldiers in Liu Miaozhen's hands were all changed to armoured soldiers.

There is no shortage of ordinary mules and horses in Huaidong, and they also support the Huaiyang town army with thousands of mules and horses.

Zhou Pu led the riding camp north to support Jinhai in March. When he returned, there were not many casualties, but the loss rate of the horses exceeded 40%. Zhou Pu cried out in pain. The cavalry battalion was withdrawn to Chongzhou for rest, and a group of excellent equestrian soldiers were selected from the Jinhai battalion and other departments to fill in. The number of soldiers was expanded to six battalions, but the number of horses was only 3,000, and even the standard of one person and one horse could not be achieved. .

In addition to the scouts from each step battalion, Lin Fu also allocated 500 extremely precious and excellent war horses to Huaiyang Town as much as possible.

On the basis of the 500 excellent war horses allocated by Huaidong, and some sturdy and well-footed horses selected from ordinary workhorses, Huaiyang restored the establishment of two cavalry battalions.

Because the warhorse is too precious, if it wasn't for Lin Bing, Liu Miaozhen would rather let Yanhu Youshao come in and use the bow and crossbow infantry to ambush and intercept it. Even if the enemy is scared away or some infantry is lost, it will be better than damaging the precious warhorse. Make it acceptable.

In Huaiyang and on the west bank of the Bian River, in the past six months, Huaiyang Town and Huaisi Workers’ Camp have tried their best to repair the remaining Tuweizi as a resettlement place for displaced households. Don't be afraid to cause a lot of damage.

Of course, 30 or 50 people from Yanhu Youshao tentatively penetrated the Huaiyang defense line, and cavalry was dispatched to intercept them. Although it was easy to stop them, they could not avoid the damage of the war horse. There are times when the cavalry shoots at each other on the horse, and it is not the people who suffer the most, but the horses with bigger targets.

It was easy for Yan Hu to obtain war horses, but Huaiyang Town offered 500 war horses as treasures.

And when the scale of Yanhu Rangers reaches three to five hundred people, even if all the cavalry are sent out to intercept them, even if they fight recklessly, they may not be able to ensure victory, and it will be even more troublesome at that time.

On the contrary, if the Yanhu cavalry came in on a larger scale, they could have dispatched infantry to intercept them. After all, even when a large group of cavalry is marching, the formation and deployment range will be extremely wide, and it is difficult to ensure that the flanks will not be bitten by the infantry.

This time, Liu Miaozhen wanted to ensure that Lin Fu's trip would not be disturbed by the infiltrating Yanhu Sentinel. In addition to ordering the cavalry in Huaiyang City to outflank the enemy cavalry, he would also accompany him to the west bank of the Bianshui River to meet Lin Fu's more than 300 people. The cavalry was handed over to Li Liang to lead, and he was asked to spread out the formation in front to ensure that no Yanhu Youshao would come in.

"Tao Chun and the Liang family eat shit, and we really want us to wipe their butts..." Li Liang said angrily when Yanhu Youshao leaked into the Hehuai defense line.

"I didn't bring many cavalry troops this time, but I can also help you..." Lin Bie laughed, called Sun Zhuang to him, and handed over a battalion of cavalry to **** him to lead, and cooperated with Huaiyang Town to intercept the infiltration. The Yanhu Youshou, who came in, said to Liu Miaozhen and Ma Lantou, "If you are willing, I will transfer another battalion of cavalry soldiers from Chongzhou to Sun Zhuang to lead them to assist you in intercepting the Yanhu Youshao. Give Yan Hu an easy touch..."

Due to limited resources~www.mtlnovel.com~, there are too many refugees to be resettled in Huaisi. Except for the refugees in the Huaiyang area who can avoid the soil and surrounding areas, on the east bank of the Bianshui River, between Suining and Suyu, more For the convenience of reclamation and farming, many people have set up shanty towns in the wild. Once a small group of sentries is allowed to infiltrate, casualties will be difficult to avoid.

People are panicking, and the forces of displaced households that have finally settled down are going to rush to the south again, causing new turmoil.

At this time, Lin Fu didn't care about pity for the loss of war horses, but more to buy time. When hundreds of earthen enclosures, defense fortresses, and defense villages lay between Huaisi, Yanhu was called by tens of thousands of cavalry. , and as long as you go all the way recklessly, you can never think of the tactics of detouring and outflanking within the range of Huaisi.

As for Yan Huyou's whistle leaking in at this time, Lin Fu guessed that it was also a leak from the area under Tao Chun's jurisdiction.

The Liang family had some cavalry in their hands, and they had been operating Pingyuan Mansion and Jinan Mansion for three years, so they still had the ability to intercept the infiltration of minority sentries. The only cavalry in Tao Chun's hands could not even meet the most basic requirements for exploring horses, and he had just retreated to Daliang.

Compared with the Yanhu sentry that appeared in the north of Huaiyang at this time, Lin Fu was more concerned with the sentry that Yanhu penetrated into Linzi, Qingzhou and other places. Obviously, the Qingzhou army's ability to prevent the penetration of the Yanhu cavalry was better than the Changhuai Army. It's a few cuts.
