Lord of the House: Chapter 57 northward attack

(Second update, I got up too early today, I really want to sleep now, ask for a red ticket)

Yue Lengqiu sent a letter in the name of the governor of Qinwang Division on the southern front, requesting the Jiangdong Zuo Army to march westward, wait for the opportunity to recover Jiyin, Linyi, Dezhou and other cities, and follow and harass the captive soldiers, looking for opportunities to continue to annihilate a group of captives. Although the floodplain formed by the rupture of the Yellow River is not very broad, the Qinwang Division on the southern line of the Jinan line has blocked the road to the north. It is necessary to move eastward along the south bank of the Yellow River to recover Zhangqiu first, and then take a detour to Yangxinlai to bypass it. floodplain.

Lin Fu can ignore Yue Lengqiu's paper order as bullshit, the battlefield is changing rapidly, "the general will be outside, and the emperor will not grant it", not to mention that Yue Lengqiu is only the name of the temporary governor. Since Yue Lengqiu led the troops to recover Jinan, Lin Fu's next step was to march north to support Jinhai, so as to prevent the captive soldiers from Wukou Shuzhai from being pulled out of the Jingdong area.

However, Yue Lengqiu issued an additional military order, requiring the remnants of Shaowu's army to immediately take a detour from Zhangqiu back to Jinan.

Geng Quanshan, Chen Dingbang and others were all generals directly under Dongmin's rule. Without the protection of a prestige and powerful general like Lu Jingyan, they would not be able to fight against Yue Lengqiu.

Jiangdong's left army and Shaowu's remnant army were not under each other's command, and Lin Fu could not protect Shaowu's remnant army from Yue Lengqiu's order.

The sky outside had already cleared up, but the tent was still lit with giant candles, and the candlelight reflected on everyone's faces, shaky and flickering.

"Please, Lord Xu, to discuss matters in the secret room," Geng Quanshan said.

The tent was divided into inside and outside. The outside was the conference hall, and the inside was the lounge. Lin Fu asked Geng Quanshan and Chen Dingbang to accompany him to the inside.

"Sir, now only you can save Shao Wujun!" As they walked inside, Geng Quanshan and Chen Dingbang knelt on the ground together.

"You all go to the Li Bingbu immediately - as long as you don't go to Jinan, you have Yang Xin's merits in defending the war, and surely Yue Lengqiu can't help you," Lin Fu thought that only Li Zhuo could protect Geng Quanshan, Chen Dingbang and others at this time, and said , "To suppress the thieves in Hongzepu, Li Bingbu will be able to use you..." Zuo Shangrong died and the Changhuai Town Army was destroyed in Haozhou. Even if there was no further news, Lin Fu knew that Li Zhuo must be in charge of Jiangdong Bing at this time. to prevent the situation in Jiangdong from continuing to deteriorate.

"If we go to vote for Li Shuai, it will only create big trouble for Li Shuai. Besides, my life and death are trivial matters," Geng Quanshan said, kneeling on the ground, "Yue Lengqiu can't openly chop off the heads of me and Chen Xiaowei, but Yue Lengqiu can do it for the remnants of Shao Wu's army! I will go to Jinan to return with Chen Xiaowei and give Yue Lengqiu an explanation, but Shao Wu's army is left with these brothers. You can't take them to Jinan to die, I beg the adults to take them in! Just pretend they all died in Yangxin!

"Okay," Lin Fu thought about it for a moment, then decidedly agreed and said, "Then said that the Shaowu Army had been dismantled for me before the war and had been incorporated into the Jiangdong Zuo Army to fight, so I can't help Yue Lengqiu. You will take good care of the rest of Shao Wujun's generals, and you will go to Jinan to deal with Yue Lengqiu first..."

"There is also Chu Zheng, he is the commander of the Duwei's personal guard battalion. He follows us to Jinan, and I am afraid that Yue Lengqiu will be killed on the spot. When Jihe was ambushed by the captive soldiers, Chu Zheng was already disabled to protect the Duwei. One arm, the commander asked him to remain anonymous before he died, and I hope the adults can take him in." Geng Quanshan said.

If the general dies, the guards will be killed if they are not killed in battle, and the commander of the guard battalion will not die in battle, but will kill their clan! Shao Wujun fought so miserably that Chu Zheng might not be able to hold the Zhu clan charged, but don't think that Yue Lengqiu would save his life if he had a reasonable excuse.

Lin Bie nodded and said, "I will arrange for him."

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

After all things were discussed, Lin Fu sent someone to invite Song Bo to the camp and said to him: "The Governor Yue wants our army to march westward, pursue the captured soldiers, and recover Linyi, Jihe and other cities. The soldiers will leave the customs from Jingdong, and I should be determined to attack Jinhai and attack its flank. I am determined to lead the Jiangdong Zuo army north to Jinhai, and ask Song Shuban to explain a few things to Governor Yue on your behalf..."

"Song knows." Song Bo said, thinking that Yue Lengqiu didn't expect Lin Fu to follow his orders.

Lin Fu added: "When the remnants of Shaowu Town escaped into Yangxin, there were only six or seven hundred people left. In order to ensure the fighting strength of Yangxin's defense of the city, I had already evacuated the remnants of Shaowu and incorporated them into the Jiangdong Zuo Army, except for Geng and Chen. Weiwai, the Shaowu Town Army no longer exists. If Governor Yue insists on reinstating the remnants of the Shaowu Town Army to Jinan, please be patient. Governor Yue."

"..." Song Bo glanced at Lin Bing in surprise, but he didn't expect that he decided to protect the remnants of Shaowu.

However, this excuse is difficult to refute. It is not at the expense of weakening the Jiangdong Left Army's combat strength, forcibly pulling out the remnants of the Shaowu Army. Yue Lengqiu really wants to tear up and toughen up, and Lin Bie can also bite to death and not let go. This lawsuit was brought to the Ministry of War, but it was of no use. People were all eaten by Jiangdong Zuojun, and could they spit it out again?

What's more, the military exploits of the Jiangdong Zuo Army are so brilliant, and there is always something to favor the Jiangdong Zuo Army.

Song Bo is only responsible for sending letters, and Lin Fu has any words to say, he is only responsible for sending back to Jinan, he will not have any disputes with Lin Fu, and he also behaves well in everything. He also knew that Yue Lengqiu's scramble for merits would make the Jiangdong Zuo army generals who had truly fought hard and made outstanding achievements very despised. In this regard, he is also very helpless, but he does not expect Jiangdong Zuojun to be so close to him.

The matter was decided in this way. Geng Quanshan and Chen Dingbang first followed Song Bo to Jinan to return to Yue Lengqiu. They only took a small number of personal guards to leave first, and the others went north with Jiangdong Zuo Army.

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

The Jinzhong army led by Zhou Tong was not subject to Yue Lengqiu's restraint at all, and naturally followed Lin to the north without a doubt, but the issue of the Jinzhong army's way out was also mentioned on the agenda, Zhou Tong was also frowning, Yue Lengqiu was A narrow-minded person, Hao Zongcheng is not an open-minded person.

Before the whole army set off northward, Lin Fu had other things to do. He invited Zhang Jinxian, the magistrate of Yangxin County, and Cheng Weiyuan, the county magistrate, and said directly: "I hope the prisoners will be disbanded immediately, and each person will be given a piece of cold clothes and food. Twenty catties and a thousand copper coins will be left to them after that. If they stay in Yangxin, Yangxin will also treat them as refugees to avoid disasters, not as prisoners. In addition, I will **** more than a thousand rebel soldiers. They go to Jinhai..."

When Yue Lengqiu led the army northward, he was bound to borrow from Yangxin. Lin Fu would not be so foolish as to leave the captured civilian husbands and rebel soldiers to Yue Lengqiu to beheaded as his merits. If these things are not handled well, he can't leave Yangxin immediately.

"Do as Lord Lin wants." Zhang Jinxian and Cheng Weiyuan were also extremely disgusted by Yue Lengqiu, who fled before the war and came to fight for merit after the war. They knew best in their hearts who was the greatest hero if Yang Xin could be preserved. , If Yue Lengqiu had stayed in Shandong, the situation in Shandong would not have been so bad.

"I asked Captain Chu and the guards who were still in front of Captain Lu. Captain Lu stopped at Yangxin and couldn't go north with us. They wanted to stay and guard the coffin for Captain Lu," Lin said. Bie said, "I also hope that Master Zhang and Master Cheng will take care of it..."

"Can Yangxin keep them?" Zhang Jinxian asked.

Lin Fu knew what Zhang Jinxian meant. Yang Xin now has more than 1,000 troops on the ground. Although he has been tested by the war, his training and combat experience are far inferior to those of the regular army. The strengthening will be significant.

Chu Zheng and others were all Lu Jingyan's personal guards, and Lu Jingyan died in battle. Even if they offered mercy outside the law, Chu Zheng and others would at least be sentenced to the side of the army. Zhang Jinxian, Cheng Weiyuan and others are the representatives of the local forces in Yangxin, and besides the chaos, they naturally have the ability to cover a dozen or twenty people. Lin Bie nodded and said, "You need to ask their own opinions, if Yangxin can I have no problem keeping them here."

From the performance of Jiangdong Zuo Army, Jinzhong Army, and Shaowu Army in defending the city for more than ten days, Zhang Jinxian, Cheng Weiyuan and the others knew that it was extremely beneficial to the locality to keep Chu Zheng and others behind. Even if the matter is revealed, there will be culpability, but for the sake of local interests, in order to welcome the next invasion of the captive soldiers, it is appropriate to take these risks.

Zhang Jinxian and Cheng Weiyuan did not delay any longer, and immediately prepared according to Lin Fu's wishes.

Lin Fu called the generals and instructed Tong Zhou: "We are escorting the rebels north, and it is very likely that we will be harassed by a small group of captives. I decided that you should lead the troops first, serve as the forward, and cover the left front wing of our army. Twenty miles is appropriate, and then release the scouts for about ten miles..."

He also said to Zhou Pu, "The formation of the army for the descendants to go north is a big problem. I decided to immediately distribute weapons such as spears, swords, shields and other weapons to the descendants. You will recruit a hundred capable old soldiers from the army to temporarily serve as commanders of the army. , the flag head. When marching, you and Zhao Qingshan will lead the troops to cover the left and right, and I will personally lead the remnants of Shaowu, and together we will be the central army; Ning Zechen will lead the troops to cover the left rear wing."

The military attachés in the captive and surrendered troops had their heads beheaded, and the organizational system of the captured and surrendered troops was completely dismantled. The distribution of weapons and temporary formation was not a big problem, but the morale and combat effectiveness of such a temporary army were too weak. If it becomes slag, it is very likely that it will become a rout after a charge of the captive cavalry. The most important thing to consider at the moment is that in the event of a confrontation with the captured soldiers on the way, these defeated soldiers cannot be allowed to impact the main formation. Covering on the inside, bluffing is good. As a result, all the injuries and illnesses were moved to Zhulong Bay to board the ship, and their troops going north along the coastline seemed to be about 4,000 men.

Lin Fu asked all the generals to prepare, and strive to leave Yangxin and go north before dark.

It is sunny today, and the night is likely to be a good moon. You can march at night. If you force to the north of Cang County, you will have scattered docks to rely on, and the march will be much safer. Although the wind direction is unfavorable and it is not easy for the ship to travel north, the ship that is connected to the south of Jinnan will also appear in the waters of Cang County tomorrow afternoon.

At dusk, everything was ready, and the injured and sick were moved to Zhulong Bay to board the ship as early as noon. I was afraid that they had already reached Zhulong Bay at this time. The sentry and scouts were also released twenty miles away. Let Zhou Tong lead the cavalry first, and he, Zhou Pu and Zhao Qingshan also lead the troops to set up camp at any time.

Looking at the people all over the city kneeling on the ground, Lin Fu was also hard-hearted and did not say a word, Yuan Jianhai and others stood on the Beicheng Tower to see off ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The small county owner Yuan Yan's thin body can be seen from a distance There was a bright spring flower at the head of the city, Lin Fu smiled slightly at that, and bowed with Zhang Jinxian, Cheng Weiyuan and other Yangxin officials who were seeing off the city, and then reined in the reins and turned the horse's head north.

As soon as the army on Lin Fu's side opened up, the civilians who were still on Zhulongpo followed him.

Although Yangxin has provided them with food, clothing and travel expenses, most of their hometowns have fallen to the enemy, and there is no recovery and nowhere to go.

Some people thought they had a way to go, and they stayed in Yangxin until the war was over before returning to their hometowns. Most of them were poor tenant farmers. After this catastrophe, the family members were either kidnapped, killed, or fled to a foreign land. Most of them have lost their homes, so what is the use of a cold coat, twenty catties of grain, and a thousand copper coins?

Besides, they are also worried that staying in Yangxin will give the local settlement.

Although the Jiangdong Zuo Army captured them, they had provided food and clothing for the past two days, and today they had Yang Xin send them cold clothes, dry rations and travel expenses. In the hearts of the drowning people, Jiangdong Zuo Army and Jiangdong Zuo Army commander Lin Fu had no doubt. It is a life-saving ship in the turbulent waves. Apart from following the Jiangdong Zuo Army to the north, what other good way out is there?

So many civilians formed a wave of refugees behind, which seriously affected the marching speed and formation. Lin Fu initially sent people to drive them away twice, but these people scattered and reunited, and followed the army.

Lin Fu could not make Zhou Tong lead his troops to Jinhai first. For a small town like Wukou, two hundred elites arrived, which was a very strong support; Ning Zechen and Zhao Qingshan were transferred to the left wing to cover the army. , He, Zhou Pu and Ao Canghai slowly marched towards Jinhai with the army and four or five thousand scattered civilians.
