Lord of the House: Chapter 40 chasing tigers

On March 15th, the weather was thin and cloudy. After a few rains, the Takashima Peninsula was also warm and spring, and the vegetation was verdant.

A large group of cavalry in vermilion armor rushed out from the east gate of Gwangju City, the capital of Haeyang County, and took the post road to Naju in the southeast. Since the defeat of Danluo Island, Haiyang County has been in a panic for a while, constantly dispatching troops, and soldiers can be seen coming in and out of Gwangju City every day. In the past few days, some calm has been restored. Today, another large group of cavalry galloped out of the city to the southeast, and passersby were inevitably panicked and uneasy to speculate when they saw it.

In the north courtyard of the post house in the west of Gwangju City, Qin Zitan is sorting books. He lost his arm, and although it was a little inconvenient, the matter of sorting the scrolls was basically done by others, so that the order was messed up, and it would be troublesome to find them next time.

The battle of Danluo Island was the same, and no change would be seen in a short period of time.

After this defeat, Goryeo was quite debilitating. In this way, the Mabu army in Haiyang County and the navy army numbered more than 10,000 people, and they were unable to fight Danluo Island.

After losing the foothold of Seogwipo City, even if Lin Su led the main force of the Huaidong Army to return to Chongzhou, it would not be easy for Goryeo to take Danluo Island. The Donghu people even hoped that Goryeo could concentrate its naval forces north of Hanyangfu to interfere and weaken the Jinhai food route. In the next period of time, it was difficult for the Koreans to organize a large-scale offensive against Danluo Island.

Of course, the Jinhai food route is also one of the lifelines that Huaidong must protect. As long as the Korean navy can effectively interfere and contain the Jinhai food route, it will also be of great benefit to the luxury family.

Of course, even if Huaidong obtained the springboard of Danluo Island, he was still unable to attack the Korean Peninsula.

The situation will temporarily stalemate, but Qin Zitan believes that even if Huaidong temporarily opens up the maritime trade route, but the entire Goryeo is against it, and the situation gradually develops, it will only be more unfavorable to Huaidong.

No matter how weak Korea is, it still has a population of two or three million. Even if Lin Fu controls the entire Huaidong area, there are only two million people, but the area that Lin Fu can really effectively control at this time is limited to Chongzhou.

Donghu envoys Nahexiongqi and Naheazige will leave Gwangju in a few days and go directly back to Liaoyang via Hanyang.

Qin Zitan will return to Jin'an with She Feihu in two days.

It would be much more troublesome for Qin Zitan and She Feihu to go back than the envoys of Donghu. It is no longer safe to go to Kyushu Island, so you must first detour through the western border of Goryeo, cross the sea to Honju Island, and then take the road from Honju Island to go to sea, and you may not be able to return to Jinan before May.

Hu Cong walked in in a hurry and replied, "Mr. Qin, Second Young Master has something urgent to see you!"

"What's the matter?" Qin Zitan asked. He really couldn't think of anything urgent in Gwangju City. Lin Fu couldn't lead his troops to attack Haiyang County unless he took the wrong medicine.

Qin Zitan threw the scroll aside and followed the squire to see She Feihu in the South Courtyard.

Seeing She Zitan coming in, She Feihu said, "General Nahe just sent someone to report. Lin Fu intends to let Zhen Feng and Haiyang County soldiers go back to Korea, so he sent a captured military attache across the sea to Gwangju to report the news. General Nahe. Invite us to discuss things!"

"Ah!" Qin Zitan felt troubled and said, "What a divisive scheme to turn a tiger back into a mountain! How did the Minister of Gao Li and the Governor of the new county deal with it?"

"I have already sent troops to Luozhou, but I didn't tell the envoy Donghu what to send troops to Luozhou." She Feihu said.

"Stupid!" Qin Zitan said, "Zhen's family is in Luozhou, Zuo Jing sent troops to Luozhou at this time, apart from arresting Zhen's family, what else can be good? Since Lin Fu wants Zhen Feng and Haiyang County soldiers If Zuo Jing takes the Zhen family, what good will it do? Maybe someone has already reported to Luozhou. If Zuo Jing can't defeat Luozhou, this play will make him look good. Zuo Jing needs to be a little bit better. You can either welcome Zhen Feng back with a smile and let go of his previous suspicions, or wait for Zhen Feng to find the right opportunity to strike a ruthless hand when he comes back.

"If Zuo Jing is useful, why would he play with the Donghu people like this?" She Feihu smiled contemptuously.

The Donghu people support Zuo Jing to control Goryeo's state affairs, and they value Zuo Jing's incompetence and cowardice, but sometimes this is also a big trouble.

Qin Zitan and She Feihu went to see He Xiongqi.

"I just found out the news," He Xiongqi had uncontrollable anger on his face, obviously also furious at Zuo Jing's stupid behavior, and welcomed She Feihu and Qin Zitan in, and said, "Zuo Jing is also sending troops. An hour later, I sent someone to inform this side! I thought about it, but I didn't have a final plan, please come over and discuss with the second son and Mr. Qin."

"If the Zhen family in Luozhou got the news that Zhen Feng would return to Korea in advance, they would definitely send someone to stare at Gwangju. The soldiers and horses have already left the city of Gwangju, and Zuo Jing has murdered the Zhen family. "The matter is urgent, and without being polite, Qin Zitan said what he analyzed in his heart, "It is impossible for Zuo Jing and Zhen Feng to abandon their previous hatred and live in harmony."

"Well, I can think of this too," said He Xiongqi, "I'm not familiar with Zhen's situation, does Mr. Qin know a thing or two?"

"Then what is He Xiongqi going to do?" Qin Zitan asked.

"If the Zhen family's roots in Haiyang County are not deep, I will let Zuo Jing mess around, first pacify Luozhou, and Zhen Feng dares to lead 3,000 Haiyang soldiers to the shore, and send troops to suppress it," Na He said. Xiong Qi said, "Even if Zhen Feng switched to Huaidong, it wouldn't be a big deal."

Qin Zitan knew what He Xiongqi was thinking.

As long as the Zhen family's foundation in Haiyang County can be dug up in one fell swoop, so that Haiyang County will not be chaotic, three thousand foot soldiers are not a decisive force. Even if Zhen Feng takes refuge in Huaidong, the gain to Huaidong's military strength is very limited and cannot affect the overall situation.

Qin Zitan said: "If the Zhen family is prepared in advance, Zuo Jing's troops may not be able to defeat Luozhou for a while!"

That's what He Xiongqi had a headache. He decided to trust Qin Zitan's judgment and said to Azige, "Go to the governor to see Zuo Jing and Jin Chengyue, no matter what means you use, no matter how much you say, they will send them immediately. People will chase the soldiers and horses back!"

It is not possible to eradicate Zhen's power from Haiyang County in a short period of time. It would be much better to let Zhen's power separate from Haiyang County than to let the military power of Gaoli sink into the quagmire of Haiyang County. .

Seeing that He Xiongqi was so decisive, Qin Zitan felt that the quality of the generals of Donghu should not be underestimated. It was not a fluke that he could rise in Liaodong in thirty or forty years. But a veteran like He Xiongqi completely lost his brilliance in front of Lin Fu, just thinking about it makes his teeth itch!

Lin Bie's simple tactic of alienation caused the Koryo generals to be at odds with each other and confront each other sharply, which is really wonderful. But when it comes to using such tactics, it is more like the style of Yongtai Bo Song Gong. Could it be that...

An unexpected thought flashed in Qin Zitan's mind, which he did not dare to mention in front of She Feihu.

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

After a while, Zuo Jing, the minister of the Republic of Korea, Jin Chengyue, the new governor of Haiyang, and the commander of the navy, Du Quanchen, accompanied Azige to the post house to see Na Hexiongqi.

Under the panic, Zuo Jing didn't care about the system, walked in, and said to He Xiongqi: "Zhen Feng was confused by Huaidong and has betrayed Gaoli, why did the envoy prevent me from sending troops to fight against Zhen? Haiyang County has a very deep foundation, and only before Zhen Feng leads his troops back to Haiyang, we can send troops to remove them..."

"If Zuo Xiang is sure of uprooting the Zhen family from Haiyang County, I will naturally not stop you," said He Xiongqi in a sullen voice, "Does Zuo Xiang have this confidence?" In the hall, the tiger's eyes stared at Zuo Jing, and after a while, Zuo Jing, Jin Chengyue, and Du Quanchen were invited to take their seats.

Among Zuo Jing, Jin Chengyue, and Duquan officials, Qin Zitan paid more attention to those who did not have much real power.

Under the circumstance that the warships of the Goryeo navy were completely suppressing Huaidong, Du Quanchen still successfully sent tens of thousands of reinforcements across the sea, and he had the ability that others could not match. As for the subsequent defeat, it has nothing to do with the reminder.

Du Quanchen's expression was stern, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, but the more he did it, the more he showed that he had disdain for the Prime Minister Zuo Jing and dissatisfaction with the envoys of Donghu-perhaps there were many generals in the Goryeo army and the imperial court. Officials have the same idea as the urging ministers, right?

Zuo Jing is also aware of the mentality of his colleagues, so he is so sensitive to the return of Lin Fiefang and Zhen Feng, right?

Qin Zitan glanced at He Xiongqi and thought to himself: Donghu people really expect people from Gaoli to be of great help, but they can't do their best to support Zuo Jing, an incompetent and timid person.

Zuo Jing no longer looked like a prime minister in front of the Donghu people, and was completely deterred by the momentum of He Xiongqi. Seeing that He Xiongqi was so angry, he was afraid that he would be abandoned by the Donghu people, so that his power would not be guaranteed. Zhongchun was so angry that he sat down in the hall, with beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead.

Compared to just coming in, Zuo Jing, who was sitting down, had a sense of defense. He said in a weak and incompetent tone, "I have sent someone to recover the soldiers and horses, but what should I do next? Please come on. Make instructions!"

"Even though Zhen Feng has lost the battle, he also has the merit of hard work. If the Minister of Zuo treats him like this, it will chill the hearts of the people of the country," Na Hexiongqi said in a slow tone when he saw that Zuo Jing had sent people to recover the troops and horses. Ask Jin Chengyue and Du Quanchen, "What do you think of Governor Jin and General Dui?"

"It's all based on the high opinion of the envoy." Jin Chengyue and Du Quanchen said in unison~www.mtlnovel.com~ Qin Zitan sat aside, thinking that Jin Chengyue and Du Quanchen should not be perfunctory.

There are nine counties in Korea, but the north and east are mountainous, and the plain area is mainly concentrated in the southwest. Haeyang County has a population of more than 500,000, making it the largest county in Korea after the first county, Gwannee County.

If Haiyang County is caught in a melee and disabled, it will not only be detrimental to Donghu's current purpose of using Goryeo to contain the Yue Dynasty from the sea, but it will also be of little benefit to the Goryeo people.

At this time, for the Donghu people to use it to contain the Yue Dynasty from the sea, Korea can also take the opportunity to develop the navy and rearmament. Even more difficult.

There is no way to fight against the Zhen Clan. In the current situation, there is no other safer way than to welcome Zhen Feng and the three thousand Haiyang County soldiers back first.

It was impossible to dispel Zhen's wariness. Once Zhen Feng led his troops back, Goryeo's control over Haiyang County would be greatly weakened. Once Haiyang County gained a relatively independent status, the Zhen Clan might even secretly make peace with Huaidong, which is also a big trouble.

Only if the Donghu people can ruthlessly drive Zuo Jing down and support a puppet in Gaoli to come to power again, can Lin Bie's alienation plan be broken. But Zuo Jing's roots in Goryeo are not shallow. It doesn't mean that he can rush out. Forcibly expelled, maybe it will cause even more chaos.

Qin Zitan secretly said: The expedient measures can only force Zuo Jing and Zhen Feng to compromise, return the seat of the governor of Haiyang County to Zhen Feng, and fully retreat to Hanyang, but the Donghu people expect the Koreans to attack at sea. The intention of Jinhai Food Road is to give some discounts. I thought the war on Danluo Island was over, but I didn't expect that Lin Fu would have such a powerful back-up move. The key to this back-up move might be the person he didn't think of before reminding Lin Fu. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
