Lord of the House: Chapter 21 Worry down
(only one chapter today)
The night is quiet.
Although he succeeded in repelling the partial division sent by Chen Zhihu, in order to successfully withdraw the people and materials from Dengzhou, Gao Zongting did not publicize the news of victory to appease the hearts of the people-the homeland is difficult to leave, and some people will be out of fear, a little Danger will choose to escape, but more people, born in Sri Lanka, raised in Sri Lanka, farms and family business are here, how easy to give up everything to leave home?
Under the deliberate connivance of Gao Zongting, the pessimism and panic did not stop and spread in Dengzhou city——
Since Dengzhou City was far from the coast, it was necessary to evacuate the people and materials in the city before the main force of Chen Zhihu arrived. The time was very tight, and Gao Zongting could only use panic to drive the people to leave their homeland resolutely.
Under the shroud of panic, people in Dengzhou City were naturally barking, and there was no peace for a moment.
Gao Zongting and Zhao Hu were discussing matters in the temporary government office, and the government sent Yuan Zhixing to rush over and said, "The magistrate of Laizhou has sent people here, and I hope the Huaidong Army can help them evacuate..."
Gao Zongting and Zhao Hu looked at each other, of course they wanted to evacuated the population of the Shandong Peninsula, but they had to have the ability to do so - now they have more than 3,000 remaining combat power in Dengzhou, most of which are concentrated The defense in Qijiaji provides a relatively safe evacuation space for Dengzhou City, which is temporarily on the inside.
As long as the main force of Chen Zhihu's troops entered the west bank of the Jiaolai River, Gao Zongting and Zhao Hu would consider withdrawing the troops from Qijiaji. They simply did not have the strength to fight Chen Zhihu recklessly on the Shandong Peninsula.
Gao Zongting said to Yuan Zhixing: "I will send people to Huaidong again, hoping to transfer more ships from Huaidong... Laizhou, Laiyang, Haiyang and other counties, I also hope that Master Yuan will communicate with them and ask them to try their best to Self-organized evacuation."
Yuan Zhixing nodded solemnly, knowing that Gao Zongting would not be able to send anyone to support Laizhou at this time.
Yuan Zhixing walked over, and Zhao Hu said, "Laizhou has gathered a lot of shipbuilders over the years, should I go for a visit?"
Laizhou Bay, including Laizhou and Changyi, is located at the north mouth of Jiaolai River.
The Jinhai Grain Road increased the number of ships gathered along the coast of Laizhou Bay, and also made the shipbuilding industry along the coast of Laizhou Bay surge. With the fall of the North, the Jinhai grain route has become a cloud of history, and the shipbuilding industry along the Laizhou Bay has naturally declined. industry potential.
"Without manpower, Gao Yi stayed in the southwest of Buling again. To ensure that the evacuation from Dengzhou goes smoothly, Laizhou is beyond the reach of Laizhou," Gao Zongting said: "In fact, before I came to Dengzhou, the military department had We have discussed various situations that may arise and countermeasures. Yanhu cannot be allowed to obtain the shipbuilding ability that threatens Huaidong's position in the East China Sea. This is the goal of our trip to ensure, but we must completely cut off Yanhu's hope of building sea ships and going to sea. , it may not be in the interests of Huaidong..."
After Gao Zongting arrived in Dengzhou, many things happened immediately. Zhao Hu did not have time to fully exchange opinions with him. For a lot of time, Gao Zongting issued orders on behalf of the military commander, and Zhao Hu actively cooperated. The thinking of Yan Hu's strategy, Zhao Hu is naturally far less familiar than Gao Zongting, who was directly involved in the drafting.
Gao Zongting continued: "If Yan Hu completely puts an end to the thought of going to sea, it is very likely that he will block the coast, and focus his troops on the middle or west routes, which is not what the military commander wants to see. If Laizhou and Changyi are given to Yan Hu Go, it's actually just a 'chicken rib' that is tasteless and a pity to abandon, so Yanhu is likely to have a considerable part of the resources to contain the development of the navy..."
Zhao Hu smiled and said: "Give them some hope to develop a navy, after a little bit of scale, they will be put out with all one's power, and then give them some hope to develop a navy... A good strategy for adding oil, the guard is called Yan Hu. suffered all the pain."
"Ye Ji'er, the lord of Yanhu, is also a rare man of great talent and strategizing. It is very difficult to trick him, and it may not be effective. At this time, this strategy is also beyond the reach of Laizhou and Changyi. It is more in line with Shandong's emptying." Gao Zongting said.
"How can there be such a good thing?" Zhao Hu said, "Even if Yejier can see through Huaidong's plans, what can you do? The coastline of Liaodong Peninsula, Liaoxi, Jixi, Yanxi and Shandong Peninsula stretches for thousands of miles. There are more than a thousand islands, large and small, can Yezier really tolerate the Huaidong sea ships threatening these thousands of miles of coastline at any time?"
Gao Zongting smiled, and the tens of thousands of miles of coastline from Yizhou in the south to the Liangliao in the north, as well as the two main streams of the Yangzi River and the Yellow River, would actually outline the territory of the Central Plains regime. The Central Plains imperial court has always despised the development of maritime power. The main reason is that for a long time, except for the scattered pirate power, there has been no serious threat from the sea.
As long as Yanhu has the possibility to develop maritime combat power, even if he knows that he is drinking poison to quench his thirst, how can he be willing to let the thousands of miles of coast go to Huaidong's endless harassment?
Dominance in the East China Sea is indeed an advantage that Huaidong has exclusively, but thinking of another matter, Gao Zongting sighed and said, "I don't know what's going on with Yang Yihang?"
Yang Yihang transferred all the limited troops and warships from Jinwei Island and waited at the mouth of Zhulong River, giving the last line of hope for the main force of the Qingzhou Army trapped in Yangxin to escape——
Huaidong and Qingzhou are entangled in grievances and grievances, and regardless of the intertwined relationship between Dongyang Township and the party, Gu Wuchen is Lin Bie's teacher and father-in-law no matter what - some words are not spoken by everyone, but they are deeply worried about Gu Wuchen , Gu Siyuan and his son will choose to join the enemy after they are forced into a desperate situation!
Gu Wuchen and Gu Siyuan's father and son led the Qingzhou army to surrender, which was a great blow to the Dongyang family and Huaidong.
Looking at Yue Lengqiu's embarrassing position as a daughter-in-law in Jiangning today, you can imagine how badly Huaidong's reputation will be hit in the future; Lin Fu is Gu Wuchen's son-in-law, and this fact cannot be changed.
And how does Gu Junxun deal with himself in Huaidong is a problem, how can Lin Fu's family accident have no impact on the overall situation of Huaidong, and how can the Huaidong military and civilians easily accept the daughter or sister of a person who surrenders to the enemy for glory?
In addition, if Jiangning used an excuse to purge the Dongyang township party that was involved in the surrender, Huaidong would also be hit; Huaidong and Qingzhou had the same origin, and even if they were torn apart because of their support, it would be difficult to draw a clear line.
Even if Gu Wuchen and Gu Siyuan's father and son escaped and the entire Qingzhou Army was lost, this result would be easier for Huaidong to accept.
When this matter was in Chongzhou, Lin Fu didn't mention it, but Lin Mengde and Qin Chengzu both talked to Gao Zongting.
Therefore, when the strength of Dengzhou was the most tense, Gao Zongting still insisted that Yang Yihang lead his troops to guard the mouth of Zhulong River.
****************
Under the danger of the city, people panic.
The Liang family concentrated their forces and retreated to Jinan, which made the Yanhu troops and horses easily advance to the banks of the Yellow River and Xiaoqing River, while Yangxin City was completely isolated. He thought that if he won another battle and drove Chen Zhihu away from the hinterland of Qingzhou, the siege of Yangxin would be solved in no time. However, until today, there is no more exciting news from the south. All the signs, otherwise, are to verify Huaidong's judgment, and Chen Zhihu's deceitful plan to defeat is just to seek Dengzhou.
The most despairing and crumbling thing, the hope that suddenly sprouted, was silently snuffed out.
Yang Xin did not have many guards, but on the contrary, there were too many guards.
After the end of the ten-year Yangxin Guard War in Chongguan, Yangxin's city defense was greatly strengthened, but the scale of the city did not expand, and it was still a small town with more than a thousand small households.
The small town of a thousand households is now filled with more than 24,000 Qingzhou army main force and almost the same number of young and strong people. This number is too many, and the number is unbearable.
Yangxin's defenders were so "strong" and had a fortified city to defend, so Yanhu's troops naturally did not dare to attack, but it was also because of the large number of people that Yangxin's grain storage was lost two months after the siege. There is a danger of a chime.
When the evening wind blew, Gu Wuchen's white hair fluttered, and his eyes were desolate. After waiting for more than two months, no one of the reinforcements was seen, and his hair and beard were all dyed white.
"grown ups……"
Gu Wuchen turned his head and saw Yang Pu approaching without saying anything, then turned to look at the vast and desperate night outside the city~www.mtlnovel.com~ Sir, the enemy did not know that Yang Xin was about to run out of food at this time , so there is no siege, and it can't be too long to break through! "Yang Pu said.
"How can I break out of the siege?" Led by the traitor Yuan Lishan, there were 80,000 to 90,000 troops of the newly attached troops assembled around Yangxin, and there were 20,000 horsemen peeping around. Yue Ye stood at the head of Yangxin City, looking out from afar, he could see that under the crescent moon, the enemy camps were endless and desperate, Gu Wuchen said in a hoarse voice, "The enemy has surrounded Yangxin three times, but it's just one. Force the Qingzhou army out of the city to fight in the field! It is three hundred miles from here to the south to Qingzhou. The Qingzhou army is not the elite of Huaidong, how can they escape under the pursuit of tens of thousands of iron cavalry?"
The Qingzhou Army had only four or five thousand elites in the early days, and then it was incorporated into the Yunjun Army and recruited people's brave, and it only increased to more than 30,000. The Qingzhou Army was formed for too short a time, and the armor, training, and military officers were severely lacking. It was okay to defend the city. Gu Wuchen had no confidence in pulling out of the city to kill the blood from the encirclement of the enemy army that was several times his own.
"Huaidong has a sea boat at the mouth of the Zhulong River. From Yangxin to *wei, as long as you travel 80 miles, you can see the sea!" Yang Pu said.
"It's impossible for Huaidong to prepare a ship for 50,000 people at a time. I understand what they mean by preparing to disembark at the estuary." Gu Wuchen closed his eyes in pain and said, "But the soldiers and civilians in this city are all trapped because of me. So, I have the face to abandon them and run away alone?"
"..." Yang Pu's mouth was clumsy, and he didn't know how to persuade him. He looked up and saw that Gu Wuchen's face was full of old tears.
Over the years, Yang Pu followed Gu Wuchen from birth to death. No matter how hard his life was during the ten years of Liubian, he never saw Gu Wuchen look like this. He was stunned there for a while, forgetting what to say.
"You go and call Si Yuan over, I told him..." Gu Wuchen said. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
