Lord of the House: Chapter 99 False and real

(Today's two chapters add up to 10,000 words, give me a red ticket!)

In the Jinghu where Lin Fu was staying, Song Jia was sitting on Lin Fu's lap, slowly opening a map, looked back at Lin Fu, smiled charmingly, and said, "If Duke Wenzhuang sees this map, he may not be sure. I will vomit three liters of blood!"

Lin Fu hugged the sweet and warm beauty in his arms, seeing her skin like mutton fat and jade, like a crow's hair shining like a waterfall under the lamp, smiled: "This plan is also very dangerous, but in order to end it as soon as possible The war is still a bright world in China, and sometimes I have to take some risks..." Holding Song Jia's body, I felt the touching plump feeling from the sweet and beautiful woman, and I had to calm down and deduce the next step based on the map. development of the war.

Although the trap has been set, whether it can destroy more of the enemy's active forces depends on whether the best opportunity can be grasped.

Compared with the maps shown to Yue Lengqiu and Zuo Chengmu in the Ming Hall of the Council, the route of the Huaishan Plank Road is clearly marked on this map, which is only half the size of a long case.

In order to ensure that the construction of the Huaishan Plank Road would not be leaked in advance, after the beginning of summer last year, nearly 30,000 mountain residents were forcibly relocated from the mountainous areas in the western part of Luzhou and the upper reaches of the Motan River in the name of Lianzhai Guarantee.

Only by looking at this map can you understand Lin Fu's true intentions.

"Zuo Xiang is here!" At this time, Shi Jiang, who had grown into a beautiful girl, came in and said, seeing Song Jia sitting in Lin Fu's arms, Xue Gan's face flushed with blush, as if she was sitting in Lin Fu's arms Similar.

"Oh, please come in quickly." Lin Fu stood up, tidied up his clothes, and asked Song Jia to stand by to welcome Zuo Chengmu in.

Zuo Chengmu came to Qichun, and he was on behalf of the imperial court. In fact, he was still worried that Huaidong would entrap Jinghu. There was a precedent in Nanyang. Bundle.

Zuo Chengmu walked in, and there was no Meiji and concubine standing by Lin Fu's side.

Zuo Chengmu is located in the vice-chancellor and is on the same level as the privy envoy, but as Lin Fu is the prince of the state, Zuo Chengmu has to pay his respects first.

"Zuo Xiang is polite," Lin Fu said with a smile, "I have a good picture in my hand, and I want to invite Zuo Xiang to taste it together..."

Zuo Chengmu caught a glimpse of the map on the long table, but only Lin Fu and the two beauties were left and right. Not only did Yue Lengqiu not be present, but also Fu Qinghe, Gao Zongting, Song Fu and others from Huaidong were present, Lin Fu looked for himself, How could it be talking about the military?

Lin Fu naturally saw the doubts in Zuo Chengmu's eyes, and extended his hand to ask him to sit against the case.

Zuo Chengmu used to be the envoy of the Jinghu system. He had no intention to separate the region and establish himself as king. In the early years of Yongxing, Emperor Yongxing ascended the throne in Jiangning and inherited the great power. Still hope to be able to ZTE Imperial Household.

Zuo Chengmu and Chen Xiyan cooperated tacitly at the beginning, which also greatly improved the situation in Jianghuai. When Emperor Yongxing was stubborn and did not listen to the advice of his ministers, he insisted on using Xie Chaozhong to send troops to Huinan, and finally Huizhou and Jiangning were defeated all the way. Chen Xiyan was in Jiangning. After the recovery, his energy was exhausted and he died, and Zuo Chengmu was also disheartened.

After returning to Jiangning again, Huaidong was in charge of the Jiangning government alone. Although Zuo Chengmu had nothing to do, he was still able to speak out more than Cheng Yuqian and others. Although he could not gain Huaidong's trust, he did not mean to join Huaidong. However, they are increasingly alienated from the officials of Emperor Yongxing and the empress dowager, and have no intention to join forces with them...

Of course, Zuo Chengmu's influence in Jinghu cannot be replaced by others, including a series of Jinghu civil and military officials such as Hu Wenmu, many of whom were brought up by Zuo Chengmu.

Lin Fu had considered letting Zuo Chengmu go back to Jinghu to share Hu Wenmu's power, but Zuo Chengmu was not moved by the power, but he was a tough guy. Even if he was in Jiangning and had nothing to do, he would not return to Jinghu to disturb the situation.

In terms of character, Zuo Chengmu is more worthy of recognition and trust than Yue Lengqiu.

The map on the long case, Lin Fu won't show Yue Lengqiu, and there is no need to show it to Yue Lengqiu, but he can't show it to Zuo Chengmu.

The key to the whole strategy is whether to make Yan Hu Jishe and Luo unaware of the existence of the Huaidong Plank Road, and the other one is that Hu Wenmu can defend Jingzhou.

As a general, the normal military deployment will be organized in echelons - only the longer Jingzhou defends and the more fiercely Huaidong fights on the eastern side of Hubei, can the main forces of Beiyan, She and Luo be gradually attracted. Come to the front.

Obviously, Hu Wenmu would not hand over Jingzhou to Huaidong for defense, but depended on the strength of Jinghu Army to hold Jingzhou for a long time. Will he be unable to resist after Yanhu's fierce attack and give up Jingzhou to withdraw, Lin Bing There is no absolute certainty at this time.

Once Yanhu is called to take Jingzhou, and after September, the large wheat fields around Jingzhou enter the autumn harvest period, the entire plan will be greatly reduced, and it is difficult to achieve the expected effect.

Right now, the one who can persuade the people of Jinghu to stick to Jingzhou as much as possible is also said to be Zuo Chengmu. Of course, Huaidong must also take practical actions to strengthen the determination of the people of Jinghu to stick to Jingzhou.

Lin Bie reached out and asked Zuo Chengmu to look at the map.

Zuo Chengmu, who knew the military and politics, quickly saw the difference between this map and the large map they had seen in the Ming Hall before dark. This was not shocking, but with Zuo Chengmu's self-restraint, he was also startled, and with a flick of his hand, he knocked down the copper oil lamp on the table.

The fire was extinguished, but the hot lamp oil splashed on the instep of Irrijiang's feet, and the girl screamed in shock.

Lin Fu waved and told the squire who rushed in after Wen Sheng to go out, picked up the copper oil lamp, and asked Song Jia to take it and light it again.

Fortunately, there are many candles in the room, but it does not affect the lighting. Lin Fu looked at Zuo Chengmu and said with a smile, "What do you think about this policy?"

Only then did Zuo Chengmu calmly look at the map. In fact, it was not much different from what he saw in the daytime. It was just that in the Huaishan Mountains, a winding road connecting the northwest of Luzhou and the southeast of Suizhou was marked.

Zuo Chengmu sucked in a breath of cold air, raised his head and asked Lin Bie, "How many troops can be dispatched on this route?"

"Three or five thousand people!" Lin Fu didn't tell Zuo Chengmu completely.

"Enough!" Zuo Chengmu didn't think much, and said, "There are three or five thousand dead men sneaking into the heart, as long as the timing is right, it is enough to cut off their food supply! Now Xiangsui and other estates are seriously short of food, and the Yanhu army is heading south. Twenty or thirty soldiers and horses consume a huge amount of food, so they can only rely on the rear to transport food. Duke Chongguo can send dead soldiers to sneak into his heart, even if he only needs to cut off and burn a batch of food and grass from Yanhu, he can call Yanhu soldiers and horses there. The front line is unsustainable, and the siege of Jingzhou is not difficult to solve!"

Of course, Zuo Chengmu would not have thought that Lin Fu had built a passage in Huaishan to send troops. He could imagine that Luo Xiancheng's subordinates had already been bought by Lin Fu, thinking that the three or five thousand elites were lurking in Suizhou in batches through Huaidong. Waiting for the time to move.

"That's what I mean," Lin Fu said, "but this plan is too dangerous. If the news leaks a little, it will be difficult to succeed. On the contrary, it will kill thousands of people. People revealed this plan…”

Zuo Chengmu nodded, frowned for a moment, and asked, "Is the general of Chaishan the king of Changle bandits who is also called Zhong Rong?"

Lin Bie nodded, secretly feeling that Zuo Chengmu did not ignore the situation in Jiangning even though Zuo Chengmu was in an empty position in Jiangning.

"With Wang Xiang helping Huaidong, why can't we send troops to attack Fengshan?" Zuo Chengmu said.

Lin Fu felt a headache in the dark, and if he told a lie, he would use a hundred people's lies to cover it up, especially someone like Zuo Chengmu who was well-informed and quick-witted, but he couldn't fully reveal the truth to him.

Lin Fu said: "The Prime Minister and Chen Hansan are not in harmony, so it is difficult for Chaishan's partial division to attack Fengshan. Chaishan's partial division can only be used once, and if one strike fails, this strategy will be defeated. When the enemy is negligent, cut him off!"

Zuo Chengmu weighed it and felt that Lin Fu's words were reasonable, but it was obviously more in Huaidong's interest to wait for the Yanhu army to congregate on the southern front to cut off their food routes and disrupt their positions.

Zuo Chengmu told him honestly, saying: "Jingzhou is still the foundation of Jinghu Lake, and Jiangxia and Ezhou will become ruins if not guarded. Wenmu is worried, and he is worried that Duke Chong has two strategies for advancing and retreating in attacking Ezhou. Since I know Chong The Duke has hidden soldiers in ambush in Chaishan, and will persuade Wen Mu not to worry too much!"

"Everything depends on the Prime Minister's words." Lin Fu said, and after speaking for a while, he asked Zuo Chengmu to leave and go back to the inn to rest.

Lin Bie couldn't rest yet, so he sat down and studied the map.

"Why don't you use Zuo Xiang?" Song Jiayi came over and asked.

"This old man is too straight, it's not a good thing," Lin Fu said with a smile, asking Song Jia to sit on his lap again, look at the map together, point to the location of Suizhou City, and say, "Don't look at Luo Xiancheng's nest in Suizhou for all these years and nothing Great achievement, but its strength is not to be underestimated!"

Luo Xiancheng was as famous as Liu An'er in his early years, and he ran across the central plains of Hunan and Chu, and the local officers and soldiers lost their ashes and abandoned their armor.

When Liu An'er led his troops into Huaisi, Huaidong joined forces with the Changhuai Army and the Liang family. Fortunately, they lured Chen Hansan to turn against the water, and successfully trapped Liu An'er outside Xuzhou city and disintegrated the Huaisi refugee army.

And for a long time, apart from Jinghu, neither Huaidong, Huaixi, or Luzhou soldiers and horses were free to enter the Chaochao Luo Xiancheng, relying only on Jinghu soldiers and horses, they could only cooperate with Luo Xiancheng's troops in Hubei. The East and Han Rivers are tug-of-war.

For a considerable period of time, although the Jinghu Army occupied Hanjin, Huangpi, Huangzhou and other cities near the Yangtze River on the north bank, most of the eastern Hubei area was reduced to a buffer zone between Jinghu and Luo Xiancheng, and became a wasteland.

From the southern foot of Dahong Mountain to Tieshanmen, as well as to Jiajun Mountain and Qishan, Luo Xiancheng's peripheral defense line to defend Jinghu Army and control Suizhou. Luo Xiancheng had been resting behind this line of defense in the early days. In the past two years, his strength has surpassed the Huaisi refugee army in its heyday.

However, Qichun and Huangmei in the southeastern corner of the eastern Hubei area are far from the central area of ​​Suizhou. Luo Xiancheng deliberately turned this into a wasteland. It was not until Chen Hansan led his troops in that it regained some vitality.

After the luxury family crossed north, in addition to controlling the remnant cities such as Qichun, Luotian and Bahe in eastern Hubei, they also won Hanjin, Huangpi, Huangzhou and other cities from Jinghu. East region.

This time, Chen Hansan gave up the cities of Qichun and Huangzhou near the Yangtze River, so he was afraid that the Huaidong Army would rely on the powerful offensive power of the Shuiying to attack along the river, and he withdrew hundreds of miles to the northwest, in fact, on the eastern line of eastern Hubei After retreating to the defense line of Luo Xiancheng's defense against the Jinghu Army, there are now defense villages that can be used, the terrain is also steep, and there is a hinterland of Suizhou behind it to rely on.

However, at the western end, Hanjin, Huangpi and other cities that the She family seized from Jinghu were all intact, so they did not retreat to the southwestern foot of Dahong Mountain, but took advantage of the nearby mountains and rivers of Hanjin and Huangpi to block the Han Dynasty. The water branch and the key point from Huangpi into the Hanshui River Valley at the western foot of Dahong Mountain.

Hanjin (now Hankou, Wuhan) is an alluvial plain formed by the inflow of the Han River into the Yangtze River. The lakes there are vertical and horizontal, and the water conditions are extremely complex.

The She family had no intention or courage to compete with Huaidong for the supremacy on the Yangtze River, but it was still possible to scuttle boats, sink ships, and densely drive hidden piles to block the main channel from the Yangtze River into the Han River.

If the She family did not guard Hanjin, as long as the Huaidong Army infantry could enter both sides of the Hanshui, it would take at most ten days and a half months to clear the obstacles at the Hanshuikou, open up the channel, and allow the Huaidong warships to enter. Hanshui battle - this is obviously not what Shejia and Yanhu want to see.

Therefore, to block the river, it is necessary to build a fortress near the shore. The luxury family blocked the waterway at the Hanshuikou, and Hanjin City was the place where the luxury family must guard. Otherwise, Huaidong warships can directly hit Xiangfan through the Han River.

Of course, Hanjin is not the only place where the luxury family can block the lower reaches of the Han River.

Shicheng (now Zhongxiang), 300 miles northwest from Hanjin, is also a major city on the east bank of the Han River.

However, Jingmen on the opposite side of Shicheng is a key point in the northern part of Jingzhou. It is guarded between the foot of Jingshan Mountain and the west bank of Hanshui River. It is a peripheral pass for defending Jingzhou.

Considering that Jingmen may not be able to be defeated smoothly, the main force of Yanhu soldiers and horses wanted to bypass the Jingmen pass and go directly to Jingzhou, so they could not block the Hanshui waterway near Shicheng in advance.

After Beiyan won Nanyang, they would attack Jingzhou directly, and build a defensive line to protect the flanks in Hanjin, Huangpi, Tiemenshan and Fengshan, which was what Lin Fu and the others could have expected in advance.

This time, Lin Fu's most fundamental purpose is to attract Yanhu and more troops from Shejia and Luo Xiancheng to eastern Hubei when they attack Jingzhou. Luo Xiancheng will also be in the north of Tongbai Mountain. Retaining a part of the troops to cooperate with Chen Zhihu's troops to contain Huaixi Dongyuan's troops - in this way, the three troops of Yanhu, Shejia, and Luo Xiancheng with a total strength of 400,000 actually formed a pattern of concentration on the north and south sides and an empty central area.

Not only Luo Xiancheng's garrison in many cities in the heart of Suizhou will be greatly reduced; after Yanhu goes south, as long as he does not realize that his flanks will be threatened, it is impossible to leave many troops in Xiangyang, Fancheng, Xinye, Nanyang and other cities to defend.

From Chaishan to the west, through Lishan, Suizhou, Zaoyang, to the hinterland of Xiangfan, the area with a depth of almost 600 to 700 miles will become a hollow area without soldiers stationed.

The Huaishan Plank Road can send tens of thousands of Huaidong elites stationed in the northwest of Luzhou directly through the Chai Mountains into this hollow area.

All the plans are in place, and the worst result is that even if the city of Suizhou cannot be taken down, a team of tens of thousands of elites suddenly burst out from the side and behind, cutting off the back road, which can also cause the enemy soldiers entering the Eastern Hubei defense line to be in chaos. Then cooperate with the main force of the Huaidong Army and the Chizhou Army to violently attack the Eastern Hubei defense line from the front, and defeat the enemy soldiers who entered the Eastern Hubei defense line~www.mtlnovel.com~ will become a piece of cake.

Of course, Lin Fu's expectations were higher this time, and he wanted to ask Yan Hu to make a big somersault in Jingxiang, in one fell swoop to reverse the power balance and pattern of the confrontation between the north and the south.

Of course, if the main force of Yanhu did not attack Jingzhou after winning Nanyang, but all the troops and horses came directly to eastern Hubei, wanting to fight with the main force of the Huaidong army, it would be more like a forest bound.

Yanhu's main force attacked Jingzhou, and its grain route was on the west bank of the Han River, and the grain route was relatively short and straight. Unless the troops and horses of Luzhou can directly take down Xiangyang and Fancheng, it is possible to cut off the food route; and the main force of Yanhu goes straight to the east of Hubei, the food route is on the east bank of the Han River, which is straight and long, and the Luzhou troops are cut off. Its food will become easy.

Huaidong and Chizhou army unite together, there are hundreds of thousands of giants, and they are guarded by the river. Even if Yanhu spends 400,000 troops and horses to go south together, it will not take ten days and half a month to clean up the 100,000 elites of Huaidong. The main force of Yan and Hu all gathered in eastern Hubei, and once the food supply was cut off, it would be extremely difficult to think of persisting for ten days and a half months.

Considering that it is very difficult for Yanhu to transport grain to the south, and the food that can be raised for them in the hinterland of Suizhou is extremely limited, and the Huaidong Army is fighting against the Yangtze River, which can advance or retreat, Lin Fu believes that Yanhu cannot be stupid. Go straight to the east of Hubei and go to seize the power of Jingzhou.

Even if there is no Huaidong plank road to make a surprise attack, if Yanhu concentrates his troops and goes straight to the east of Hubei, the Huaidong army will shrink to the front line of Qichun and Huangmei, and Yanhu will return without success.

Lin Fu and Song Jiazheng were seriously debating the battle situation. At this moment, Gao Zongting broke into the room, and he didn't care to avoid suspicion, and said breathlessly: "The city of Nanyang is broken, Liang Chengchong led his troops to break through to Biyang, and they were defeated in Tanghebei. I don't know if I live or die; Ye Jiluorong ordered the slaughter of Nanyang City for three days the day before yesterday!" My QT room is open!
