Chapter 25: The Tao is Different
The autumn moon was cool, and after sending Yang Pu away, it was still early, so Lin Jian sat in front of the window, peeling off the lightly sounding candle flame, and flipping through the pond copy that collected news from all over the world.
The power of the Donghu people continued to expand north of Yanshan, and the border walls of Datongfu and other places at the northwest foot of Yanshan were repeatedly attacked by the cavalry of the Donghu people.
The imperial court transferred Chen Zhihu, who belonged to the former Eastern Fujian Army and cleared bandits in Zhongzhou and Jinzhong, to the northern front to strengthen the defense of Datong and Xuanhua, and in mid-August, Chen Zhihu replaced the original garrison general and increased the rank of lieutenant to serve as the general of Datong.
At this point, after the fiasco of Chentangyi, the empire redeployed nearly 200,000 troops in Jizhou, Xuanhua, and Datong military towns on the first line of Yanshan, but whether it could defend against the Donghu people remains to be tested by time.
Zhongzhou, Jinzhong, Xiqin and other places are a little calm, but Jiangxi, Lianghu and other places are flooded in summer, the displaced people are crowded, and the government mishandles them, resulting in chaos, Luo Xiancheng, Gong Yuci and other rogue leaders frequently appear on the Tang copy, and the internal troubles are becoming more and more serious.
It was useless for Lin Jian to care about things that were too far away, he was more concerned about gathering the movements of Liu An'er's department on the front line of Sizhou. Even if the eastern front is temporarily stabilized after the East China Sea retreats from the sea, the defense along the Hongzepu line still appears to be very fragile, and in particular, Changhuai Town, the core of the western front defense area, has recently seen a bad incident in which officers and men have been forcibly suppressed.
Looking through the pond copies in various places, except for the official articles that praise merit and virtue, there is almost no comforting news to find one's heart, Lin Jian will be bored and push the large stack of pond copies to the corner of the table, thinking that he is out of sight and out of mind. Liu Yue'er walked in, looked at him frowning and sad, and said, "Don't let you be busy, you don't listen, you are upset after reading Tang Copy, where can you calm down and recuperate?" ”
"Even if you bury your head in the sand, these problems don't don't exist." Lin Lian pulled Liu Yue'er's warm little hand that was as smooth as jade and let her sit on her body. Liu Yue'er was afraid of pressing his injured leg, so she sat next to the edge of the soft couch and sat with him close to his thigh.
Lin Lian's fingers gently twisted Liu Yue'er's cheeks, the skin was very smooth, unusually delicate, with a faint fragrance transmitted to the end of the nose, and the slightly charming eyes were like a clear spring under the moon, attracting people and temporarily relieving people from troublesome trivial matters.
"What do you want to do, Mr. Wu said, your legs can't move." Liu Yue'er struggled with shame, her soft body seemed to be grinding in Lin Bin's arms, trying to stop Lin Bin's hand from reaching into the placket.
Lin Tie's hand reached into Liu Yue'er's arms, and pressed it on her firm, plump, and soft chest through the silk belly pocket, the silk cloth was slippery and thin, Lin Tie's fingers rubbed lightly twice, and the cherry grains stood up, and Liu Yue'er, who was docile like a sheep, snuggled in Lin Tie's arms, breathing gradually became short, her body was hot and soft, but her mouth was still insisting: "Your body can't move......"
Lin Lian's foot injury was indeed quite serious, and he couldn't move, thinking about how to enlighten the traditional and conservative Liu Yue'er to ride on him to do that, Xiaoman pushed the door in, his eyes stared at Liu Yue'er's chest and looked stunned for a moment, the hand that was getting into Lin Lian'er was even bigger, and his little face flew red, and he said coquettishly: "Really, the injury is not good, be careful to cause the opening on his calf to crack again......" Panicked and avoided the door.
"You still don't listen," Liu Yue'er struggled to sit up, pushed Lin Jian down on the soft couch, and said with shame and annoyance, "That girl thinks I seduced you." He took the quilt to cover Lin Tie, looked at the stiff bulge of his lower body, and thought about reaching out to pat it, but he was finally embarrassed to do it, leaned over to Lin Tie's ear, and said gently, "Can't you wait until the leg injury is healed?" ”
Lin Tie grabbed Liu Yue'er's hand and stuffed it into the quilt, Liu Yue'er's hand touched the \/ words and was about to dodge, grabbed Lin Tie, and then resigned himself to holding the \/ words, turned his face against Lin Bin's chest, was too shy to look at his eyes, listening to the strong and powerful beating of his heart under his chest, and felt very relieved.
Lin Jian enjoyed it for a while, but things couldn't stop, and the sound of footsteps sounded in the courtyard downstairs, and Ao Canghai asked Wu Wei under the courtyard: "Have you slept?" ”
Liu Yue'er blushed and pulled out her hand, Lin Jian sat up and asked through the window, "What's the matter?" ”
"Xiao Baiming, the commander of the military cottage, and Captain Chen Qianhu, the commander of the battalion, asked to see the adults outside the courtyard......"
"No," Lin Jian said neatly, "Don't make up any excuses for not being in good health and sleeping early, if you don't see it, you won't see it." ”
Xiao Baiming is close to Xiao Tao on behalf of Xiao Tao, even if not to mention last year's Chongzhou boy robbery, the lake robbery attack on Xisha Island, and the army's cottage water army did not move, resulting in more than 2,000 casualties on Xisha Island, Lin Lian will never be far away from Xiao Tao and have a superficial perfunctory, otherwise what will the displaced people resettled on Xisha Island think in their hearts?
Even if Xisha Island lives next to the military cottage, if you have any illusions about the military cottage because of Xiao Baiming's visit, it would be really stupid, Lin Jian asked Ao Canghai to blast Xiao Baiming and Chen Qianhu away, thinking that in the future, I still have to find a way to pull out this nail to feel at ease.
***************
The courtyard of the wing where Lin Tie lived was not big, Xiao Baiming could hear the conversation between Lin Tie and Ao Canghai at the gate of the courtyard, and stared playfully at the Wu Wei on duty at the gate of the courtyard.
Xiao Baiming grabbed Chen Qianhu's shirt and asked him not to lose his temper, or wait for Ao Canghai to come out before saying goodbye and leaving, insisting on showing the cultivation of a scholar.
"This dog's loss is still a trick, we came to the door three times, and he didn't even see him, it's really shameless," Chen Qianhu lost his temper and scolded in the middle of the road, "Is he really going to turn his face against the captain for those untouchables on Xisha Island?" ”
"Anyway, Du Wei is benefiting from him this time, he doesn't care about us, we have to make a gesture to show others," Xiao Baiming's gloomy face chuckled a little evilly, and he glanced back at the courtyard of the wing where Lin Jian lived, "He is rampant, and it is helpless to tolerate him for three points." The lieutenant should be in the courtyard of the envoy, let's go over together, don't talk nonsense......"
"I know," Chen Qianhu said in a loud voice, "The son of the Gu family is good at talking to the staff member surnamed Zhao next to Gu Wuchen, I am guilty of losing my temper in front of them, I just don't like it." Xisha Island is next to the military cottage, which is always a headache, and it hinders the deployment of the captain......"
"It can only be like this now," Xiao Baiming sighed lightly, Xiao Taoyuan arranged all his cronies in the military cottage, just because he was afraid that the Chongzhou boy case would have a foothold, Xisha Island and the military cottage were only more than 2,000 steps apart, if the Chongzhou boy case was exposed, Xisha Island would be the biggest threat and obstacle for them to bargain with the imperial court from the military cottage, but now that Lin Jian followed Gu Wuchen's momentum, Chongzhou also changed its attitude and began to agree with the fact that Xisha Island helped protect the south of Chongzhou, and they had nothing to do at this time, If you want to pretend to be pirates and disturb the homeless people who can't settle down on Xisha Island, you also have to consider the existence of Jiyun Weiyong and the Xisha Island Township Camp, after thinking for a while, Xiao Baiming said again, "Lin Lian has the name of disaster relief at the moment, but he always has to withdraw his people from Xisha Island, we have to be patient and wait." ”
Xiao Baiming and Chen Qianhu walked to Gu Wuchen's house in Jiyang County, and saw Xiao Taoyuan's guards in the courtyard, so they went over together to ask to see Gu Wuchen.
***********
It should be said that Xiao Taoyuan's passive avoidance of war in the early stage led to the destruction of the prefectures and counties along the Taihu Lake by the East China Sea Kou, coupled with the defeat of the battle on the north shore of Taihu Lake, Gu Wuchen, as the inspector, has the right to impeach the supervising army, and it is not difficult for him to kick Xiao Taoyuan away from the position of the commander of the sixth battalion of the water division in Ninghai Town.
The town army is a relatively closed system, kicking Xiao Taoyuan away, most of the generals who replace Xiao Taoyuan will be selected from the Jiangning water camp, there is no obvious benefit to Gu Wuchen, Zhao Qinmin suggested that instead of falling out with the town army in this matter, it is better to show goodness and let Xiao Taoyuan go, in exchange for the support of Xiao Taoyuan and other town army generals in many affairs.
Gu Wuchen couldn't ignore the benefits of these realities, especially the local opinion of Pingjiang Prefecture on the passive avoidance of the battle by the Ninghai Town Naval Division, and it would be more effective to win over Xiao Taoyuan and other naval generals.
Lin Tie said to Xiao Baiming on behalf of Xiao Taoyuan that he came over almost to bang outside the door, and Gu Wuchen met Xiao Taoyuan in the house where he was temporarily staying.
Xiao Baiming and Chen Qianhu walked into the courtyard, and Xiao Taoyuan was sitting at the bottom of the lobby and listened respectfully to Gu Wuchen's teachings. Gu Wuchen saw two generals walking into the courtyard, remembering that it was Xiao Taoyuan's subordinates, and said in a hazy voice: "How can you stand in the courtyard?" Come in and talk. ”
Xiao Baiming and Chen Qianhu walked in, and saluted Gu Wuchen first: "Xiao Baiming, the military cottage supervisor, and Chen Qianhu, the battalion commander, have seen adults, ......" and walked behind Xiao Taoyuan and stood.
"Lord Lin has been there?" Xiao Taoyuan asked.
"Xisha Island was attacked by lake thieves in early August, although we have the duty to guard Chongzhou, but after all, it was a big mistake, causing heavy losses to Lord Lin's subordinates, and Lord Lin refused to forgive us, and we should also ......" Xiao Baiming replied, and Mingli did not mention the matter of blasting out of the door.
"It's also my responsibility," Xiao Taoyuan said to himself, "I'll accompany you over to ask for guilt later......"
"This is not necessary," Gu Wuchen said, "Lin Jian was seriously injured in this battle, his health is not safe, and he does not receive outsiders, but it may not be that he is unwilling to forgive the loss of the army cottage." Since he no longer held Ninghai Town's sailors accountable for passively avoiding the war, he naturally would not exhaustively pursue the attack on Xisha Island and the military cottage standing by; Besides, it would be unseemly to let Xiao Taoyuan go to Lin Tie to take the blame for Lin Tie as a cavalry captain.
"Alas," Xiao Taoyuan complained, "In the first battle on the north coast of Taihu Lake, our combat strength also wanted to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and the soldiers forgot about life and death, but the result was still a fiasco." It's not that we don't dare to fight the enemy, it's just that the naval warships have not been replaced for several years, the hull is seriously damaged, it will be broken when it hits the reef, and the soldiers' war equipment will also be corroded, and it will be broken when it knocks, I am afraid that if this naval army loses the battle and is exhausted, the gate of Jiangdong County will be guarded by no one, and I will be the greater sinner of the imperial court at that time. ”
Yang Pu stood behind Gu Wuchen and looked at Xiao Taoyuan's wonderful performance coldly, as a military general, Xiao Taoyuan was huge in size, not necessarily too fat, but he was a general of the navy, if he was a cavalry general, I really doubt that he would have the ability to ride a horse.
Yang Pu thought in his heart: There are some things that Lin Tie did not say explicitly, but he had great opinions on Xiao Taoyuan's passive avoidance of war and the fact that the shores of Taihu Lake were plagued by this banditry, and even when he was in Chongzhou, he bluntly suggested that Gu Wuchen use the power of impeachment to kick Xiao Taoyuan away from the position of commander of the Sixth Battalion Naval Division in Ninghai Town, not to mention that in these days when he was recuperating from his injuries in Jiyang, he avoided Xiao Taoyuan and his generals like enemies, but the adults followed Zhao Qinmin's advice in this matter and showed Xiao Taoyuan good, and it was difficult to ensure that Lin Tie would not be cold.
Even as a father, Yang Pu hopes that his son Yang Shi will have a greater future in the Dongyang Army, but Lin Lian is not a stupid person, so how can he not have any ideas about the arrangement of Dongyang's personnel?
"It makes sense for General Xiao to think so, otherwise how would he win a big victory in the battle of Donglai River," Zhao Qinmin said beside him, "On Xisha Island, Lord Lin is also too serious about the homeless...... "Anyway, Lin Jian used the resources that should have been used to train Dongyang Xiangyong to relieve the disaster and resettle the homeless people on Xisha Island, Zhao Qinmin could see that Gu Wuchen had some opinions in his heart, but Gu Wuchen could still tolerate Lin Jian doing this at this time.
