Lord of the House: Chapter 54 Changhuai New Army

"I hope that the towns of Guoyang and Zhengyang will be ready for the Northern Expedition before March next year." Lin Biexiu started, leaning forward on the long case of Tanmu, to discuss the Northern Expedition with Yue Lengqiu.

It is already late November, and the rivers and Huai River are frozen and snowy. The Huai River has not been frozen this year, but the Ying, Ru, Bian, and Si waters of the Huai River have been frozen solid.

For the Southern Corps, which was dominated by infantry, the most appropriate tactics were to use warships to travel north along the Ying, Ru, Bian, and Si rivers after the beginning of spring when the ice melted and the snow melted. The thawed river is not only very convenient for logistics transportation, but also the river is a natural moat, which restricts the rapid movement of cavalry and provides flank defense for the infantry. , forcing the enemy cavalry to dare not approach both sides of the river.

If it hadn't been seen that the Huaidong Army would have set up a battalion before March next year, Yue Lengqiu and Yue Zhi had also deduced that Lin Bing would organize a northern expedition, and that the main force of the Huaidong Army would have moved from Xuzhou along Bian, Bian, and Yuezhi. Si and two rivers enter.

At this time, Lin Fu asked the two towns of Guoyang and Zhengyang to do the mobilization work for the Northern Expedition and the preparations for the war weapons and food supply before March. Yue Lengqiu and Yue Zhi knew that the two towns of Guoyang and Zhengyang were in the bigger cities. In the sense, it is a chess piece to attract and confuse the attention of Yanhu, Xuchang and Yuzhou, and at the same time make Xuchang and Yuzhou full of grass and trees, and at the same time further attract Yanhu's garrison in the hinterland of Yanji to the Hehuai line of defense.

Perhaps the ultimate role of the troops and horses in Guoyang and Zhengyang is to cooperate with the Huaiyang Army in Xu Shou, attracting troops from Yanhu Shandong and Henan, and at the same time deter Dong Yuan from moving southward.

"In the battle of Chentangyi, the frontier army collapsed in the south. Entrusted by the late emperor, patrolling Yanshan was the beginning of my military and political administration." Looking at Lin Fu, he said, "The sixteenth autumn is like a white horse passing through a gap, and the mirror must be frosted. Recently, I am often exhausted and unable to continue. I also forget things from time to time. what……"

"Oh..." Lin Fu looked at Yue Lengqiu with great interest. Yue Lengqiu was not yet sixty years old, and he was still very energetic. He thought that he shouldn't use a pile of picks to negotiate conditions with himself at this time, just Sit quietly and wait for Yue Lengqiu to finish speaking.

"It's not a long way to come to Haizhou, but sitting on the soft cushion of the brocade couch, I feel like my body is rusted, and I'm really old," Yue Lengqiu said, looking at his nose and sitting upright. Said, "I came to see Duke Chongguo this time, and I have one thing in mind. I want Minister Chongguo to envoy others to supervise the troops and horses of the two towns of Guoyang and Zhengyang, and allow me to retire and return to my hometown. In addition, the two towns of Guoyang and Zhengyang belong to Henan. The military sequence, but in the past two years, Xuchang and Xuchang have also been separated from each other, and there are many disagreements in the middle. Although we can barely maintain it with many mediations, but after all, it is a twisted melon that is not sweet. I want to ask Chongguo Gong Xu Guoyang and Zhengyang to stand alone The first army, commissioned generals and officials to govern it, Tao Chun, Deng Yu and Yue Zhi are also willing to disarm and go with me..."

Lin Bie was sitting up with his arms in his arms and looked at Gao Zongting and the others who were sitting on the right wing. He didn't expect Yue Lengqiu to hand over military power at this time, and he hesitated for a while, not knowing how true Yue Lengqiu's words were. Separation of leave - Yue Lengqiu and Yue Zhi came to Haizhou to meet, indicating that they had no desire to confront, but if they were to say that they would completely give up their military power and their monstrous power, Lin Fu didn't believe it either. Yue Lengqiu said this, More likely to be backward.

But in any case, as long as Yue Lengqiu and Yue Zhi did not intend to confront each other, the new empire would not be short of three or five seats and would not be stingy, nor would they be short of three or five cups of soup to share with them.

Lin Fu pondered for a moment, and said: "The independent army of Guoyang and Zhengyang may be a good idea, and the prophet will tell Dong Yuan about this matter; but even if it is a new army, it needs to know political affairs, such as Du Yue. People who are familiar with military affairs will not go out of their way. In addition, Tao Chun, Deng Yu, and Yue Zhi are all in their prime years. They are serving the country. of……"

"The old minister is really old and frail and can't bear the heavy duty of busy military affairs," Yue Lengqiu said earnestly, bowing his waist, "Yue Zhi has always complained that he was trapped in the army and could not gain knowledge, and he also felt that Jianghuai has been in worship over the years. After Guo Gong's guidance, there were many new atmospheres in the prosperous world, so he decided to leave the army; as for Tao Chun and Deng Yu, they had experienced hundreds of battles and felt a lot of emotion. If you want to use it, the old minister should persuade them on behalf of Duke Chongguo. But if you can persuade, the old minister dare not make a guarantee..."

Yue Zhi stood up and saluted, and said with a firm expression: "Yue Zhi, please ask Chongguo Gong to complete..."

Lin Fu and Gao Zongting looked at each other, Yue Lengqiu insisted, it didn't seem like a false test - since Yue Lengqiu was able to give her a peach, Lin Fu was not stingy in returning it, but how to arrange it was a headache. .

Gao Zongting said: "Guoyang and Zhengyang have an army, and Tao Chun and Deng Yu can be the commanders and deputy commanders. The military and political affairs can be entrusted to Tao and Deng, but it is still necessary for Yue Du to stay in Guoyang to control the overall situation; The general intends to travel, and the Southeast Navy lacks a commander, so maybe Yue Lengqiu can be asked to surrender?"

Lin Bie nodded and asked Yue Lengqiu: "The national disaster is on the horizon, and the Northern Expedition has not yet been completed, so I can only force Governor Yue and General Yue like this..."

Even if Yue Lengqiu is sincerely willing to give up military power, the two towns of Guoyang and Zhengyang should be responsible for keeping an eye on Xuchang, so as not to make Dong Yuan change, Yue Lengqiu still needs to stay in Guoyang.

As for Yue Zhi, it doesn't matter if the deputy commander of the Southeast Navy is assigned to him. Although he no longer holds military power, the position of the deputy commander in Huaidong cannot be considered low.

In fact, Yue Lengqiu was also afraid of kicking Lin Fu into any corner. Hearing Lin Fu's arrangement, he naturally had no reluctance, and said, "I only wish to contribute a little to the great cause of the Northern Expedition—other than that, I have one more thing to bring up with Duke Chongguo."

"Director Yue, please speak." Lin Fu said.

"I have a lot of emotions from Yuezhi Guanhaizhou's military equipment. Even if a new army is established, it may not be like Fengli and Huaiyang. This setting is beyond the capabilities of the new army, and I would like to ask Duke Chongguo to send generals to form the staff of the new army..."

"It's a good thing that the new army wants to implement a new system," Lin Bie nodded and said, "I'll think about it and see if there are any suitable candidates to recommend to Governor Yue..." There was a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he continued, "Long The Huai Army also had a brilliant record under the rule of Governor Yue, but later due to various reasons, the Changhuai Army was no longer in the order. I think the two towns of Guoyang and Zhengyang should have an army, so why not use the Changhuai Army as the designation?"

"Everything is according to what Duke Chongguo said, and all the old ministers obey." Yue Lengqiu replied, but he also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Yue Lengqiu commanded several armies, but the most glorious period was when the governor of Jianghuai ruled the Huai army. The battle of Xuzhou was also the key battle between the Changhuai Army and the Huaidong Army. Since then, he, the Governor of Jianghuai, has not been able to suppress this Donghai fox. Looking back on the past, it has been almost ten years. Years are over.

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

After a day's discussion, Lin Fu was also exhausted at the end of the day, so Zongting Gao and Wu Qi invited Yue Lengqiu, Yue Zhi and the Guoyang generals who accompanied him to a banquet on his behalf, while he returned to Xingyuan with Song Jia and Liu Miaozhen to rest.

"This is a complete solution to a problem," Song Jia looked at Lin Fu with a smile and asked, "What are you going to do with Chang Huai's family in the future..."

Yue Lengqiu's problem no longer became a problem after the battle of Jingxiang, but Lin Fu was still quite happy that it could be solved so thoroughly.

"Recently, Hu Qiaozhong was transferred from Ganzhou to Guoyang to serve as the military staff officer of the Changhuai Army," Lin Fu said, "As for the long-term, I am not a cold person, and everyone in the world is staring at me, I think it is nothing more than Adhering to the principle of 'adding the new without eradicating the old' will not hurt people too much."

Song Jia nodded and sighed again, it is easy to fight, but difficult to sit in; After the establishment of the new dynasty, how to ensure that heroes and marshals will not harm the imperial power? In history, there have been countless examples of cunning rabbits dying and running dogs cooking. This is also the fundamental reason why Yue Lengqiu was still reluctant to go to the post even at the last moment.

After all, it only counts when the military power is in his own hands. Who knows if Lin Fu is so kind at this time, will he turn his face and deny him in two days? Tell Yue Lengqiu to let down his guard. After the battle of Zongyang, Lin Fu also used a lot of thought.

Thinking that Dong Yuan was at a loss in the battle of Jingxiang, it was impossible to let down his guard against Huaidong.

Lin Fu was in the Privy Council at this time, and he also adhered to the principle of "adding new but not removing old".

Lin Fu transferred Wang Chengfu, Sun Shangwang, Li Shuyi, Zhu Ai, Chang Sun Geng and others into the center, but Lin Mengde, Sun Jingxuan and others were still important ministers of the Privy Council, and their actual status was not threatened. Although the power has been diluted, it is not serious, and there are many affairs in various aspects. Under Lin Fu, everyone does not have the thoughts and delusions of centralizing their own power; At that time, Wang Chengfu, Sun Shangwang and others gradually took over the power of the Privy Council, which could form a smooth transition.

The same as the Changhuai Army that will be newly established~www.mtlnovel.com~ Lin Fu can not disband it immediately, will not send those many generals home to farm, and will retain their general positions, but will guarantee Their intention to give up the separatist regime was nothing more than filling the Changhuai Army with more military staff, commanders, military commanders and other auxiliary officers, and formed a smooth transition in three to five years or even ten years. Everything has to be bloody.

"What about the Cao family and Dong Yuan, what do you plan to do?" Song Jia asked.

"I opened my heart and said to Cao Yiqu and Dong Yuan: I will disregard the past, and I will ensure that you enjoy wealth. Even if Chen Zhihu surrenders to me at this time, I am willing to save his life, but will they believe me?" Lin Bie grinned and put his hands on his sleeves, secretly feeling that the most rare thing between people is trust. Everyone wants to take the initiative in their own hands. When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, no one is willing to compromise or give in. Thinking of this, he said again. , "If they don't give in, then drive them westward. After the Northern Expedition, Yanhu loses Yanji and Liangliao, and the remnants will also retreat westward, allowing them to join forces on the westward escape. Only in this way can we There is an excuse to keep marching westward..."

"Anyway, don't let me lead the troops any more." Liu Miaozhen laughed. They knew that Lin Tie was in the recovery pass, and they didn't stop to use troops to the northwest.

Although there is a suspicion of using military force, but if we don't continue to use military force, the armament will be reduced, and the arms purchase market will also be reduced. At least in the early stage of the development of new learning and new industries, this is not a good thing.

Another one, in Lin Fu's mind, the northwest territory of the new empire, from the Rouran Sea to the north and the Yili River to the west, how could it be possible to stop using troops after the recapture of Guanzhong? The tactic used in the luxury family back then will be used again this time. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
