(Ask for a red ticket)

When the news of the Yellow River burst came back, Lin Jian called all the generals to his camp tent to discuss the matter, and also invited Zhang Jinxian and Cheng Weiyuan to participate.

The canoles in the camp were beeping and peeling, exuding the aroma of pine resin oil, hanging on the inner wall of the camp tent, which occupied almost half of the map, and roughly described the cities and terrain of the Yanji Plain and the surrounding areas.

The atmosphere in the tent was solemn, Lin Jian stood in front of the wall chart with his chest crossed, frowning and pondering, and saw that all the generals had gathered, so he put down his hand and said: "The Yellow River has burst its embankment, and the specific breach has not yet been explored, but the water has spread to the southwest of Jihe County......

"Damn it," Geng Quanshan scolded hatefully, "The thieves will break the Yellow River, and they will destroy the foundation of our dynasty!" ”

The generals in the battalion were resentful, and although they won the battle of Yangxin, they could not stop the strategy of plundering and destroying the captives.

"26 days ago, the main force of the southern line of the captives was still in Jinan, and the military department sent personnel to the northeast of Zhongzhou County to restrain the Qinwang Division. I predict that it is unlikely that the main force of the captives on the southern front will lead the capture west to Jinzhong, and its greatest possibility is to shrink from Jinan, Dezhou, and Linqing to Xingzhou," Lin Jian sighed softly, pointed to the map, and continued, "Breaking the embankment and breaking the Yellow River, on the one hand, is to flood to block the pursuing troops behind, and on the other hand, it is intended to destroy. According to these two goals, and considering that the water level of the Yellow River is shallow at this time, the Yellow River should be in the south of Linqing and the north of Jinan. The Yellow River to the east of Linqing is the hanging river, the river on the ground, from the bottom of the embankment, can make the water from Linqing to the north to dump, in the plain province to form a floodplain. Not only did it seal the Qinwang Division in the southwest, but more importantly, it also destroyed all the roads in the plain realm......"

At this time, the water potential is not large, but as the weather warms, the river thaws, and the dug breach cannot be blocked in time, and the destructive power will become more and more great. In particular, the ice floe flood of the Yellow River, which will begin in mid-to-late February, is astonishingly destructive.

Perhaps with the dumping of water from the lower layers, the ice-covered structures of the upper layers have begun to be destroyed, and this year's flood season of the Yellow River may be formed first downstream. Once the flood is formed, under the threat of a large amount of ice floe, it will be very difficult to block the breach under the current conditions.

The main force of the captives on the southern front dragged on until this time to retreat, and it was also the right time!

"The main force of the southern line of captives will go north along the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, and then go out of the customs after converging with the main force of the northern line?" Zhou Tong asked.

"Probably so," Lin Jian nodded and said, "But they go all the way to the north, and there are still two final exit channels, one is to go to the west of Beijing, and the other is to go back from the broken border to the Koulai, and the other is to take the Jingdong ......."

"If the captives go to Jingdong, will they go to Jinhai?" Zhou Tong asked.

"It's hard to say," Lin Jian said, "it is said that the number of vortex villages is not on their exit route, but the distance is only fifty or sixty miles, and it is on the edge of the main force of the captive army......

"My lord, General Zhenguo asks to see ......," the officer on duty at the gate came in to report.

Lin Jian did not deliberately block the news of the Yellow River's burst, and led people to welcome Yuan Jianhai in; Zuo Tanggui also followed Yuan Jianhai to the Zhulongpo camp.

"I heard that the thieves dug up the Yellow River?" Yuan Jianhai walked into the big tent and saw that the generals and Zhang Jinxian, Cheng Weiyuan and others were there, he didn't say anything, and went straight to the point. The children of the clan were restricted from participating in local military affairs, and Lin was bound to discuss matters in the camp, and it was just polite to invite Yuan Jianhai to participate, and it was not rude not to invite him to participate.

"Yes, although there is no more specific information back, it is basically certain that the embankment of the Yellow River from Huaiqing to the north of Jinan has been dug in many places, and in order to achieve the goal of destruction, the thieves also consider that the water level of the Yellow River is shallow at this time, and the prisoners should concentrate on destroying the north bank after leaving Jinan......"

"So, the thieves have withdrawn from Jinan?" Yuan Jianhai asked.

"It's very likely, but the specific information needs to be reported back by the scouts......," Lin Jian said, he was sure that the main force of the eastern and southern front had withdrawn, but it was not yet possible to confirm whether it would be left behind on the south bank of the Yellow River.

"Then on behalf of the Lu Palace, I have invited the Jiangdong Left Army to move westward and recover Jinan, since this battle, the Jiangdong Left Army has made great achievements, and the merit of recovering Jinan should also be included in the Jiangdong Left Army...... Yuan Jianhai said.

Lin Jian did not immediately agree to Yuan Jianhai, he was more worried about the safety of Jinhai at this time, he needed a more specific situation now, he needed to know the time when the main force of the eastern southern front retreated from Jinan, he didn't say anything, just asked the army to prepare for the pullout, and wait for further news at dawn at the earliest, and then make a decision.

The main force of the southern line of the eastern captives was engulfed by a large number of captured Dingkou, which was huge and redundant, and the speed of travel could not be fast, and it took half a month to start from Jinan and pass through the northern part of Jinhai; He traveled lightly, and it was a straight trip, and it only took more than two days to get to Jinhai, and he was not afraid of not being able to catch up.

***********

At dawn, the scouts in front returned with specific information back to Jinan, accompanied by a messenger from Yue Lengqiu, the governor of Eastern Fujian.

This messenger is not an outsider, it is the brother of Song Jia, the wife of the extravagant tiger, the son of the Song family in Jin'an, and Song Bo, the secretary of the Governor's Mansion of Eastern Fujian.

Yue Lengqiu had already led his army into Jinan at noon last night, and had already recovered several cities in Linqing, and the Dongyu had just as Lin Jian had expected, forcing the captured Qingzhuang to break more than a dozen openings on the north bank embankment from Linqing to Jinan, nearly two hundred miles north of Linqing, in just three or four days.

Lin Jian slept for less than an hour, dragged people out of the bed, and read the letter written by Yue Lengqiu in Jinan under the lamp, his cold and cunning face appeared in his mind, and he was on fire in his heart, eager to tear the letter to shreds in front of the messenger Song Bo.

"I know, please go and rest first, when Lord Song wakes up, he will get my reply to Yue Du!" Lin Jian said coldly.

"Then don't bother Lord Lin." Song Bo saluted before leaving the camp under the guidance of the guards.

Walking out of the camp tent, the dawn gradually became clearer, the main battlefield of the Yangxin defense battle was in front of the southeast, although Song Bo was a little tired after driving more than two hundred miles, but when he saw the situation on the battlefield, he couldn't help but be in high spirits. In the valley in the southeast, the corpses of the traitors and captives have only been sorted out slightly, and they have not yet been buried, and they are all the traces of blood and fire at the head of the city.

My sister said in the letter that Lin Lian was afraid that he was the most outstanding person in the rise of the southeastern counties after Li Zhuo, and it was not obvious at this time, but the situation was not the opportunity. This is really not true at all, Jinan has only been separated for more than two months, and the Jiangdong Left Army has won all four battles, all victories, and Yangxin's first battle, which has further prevented the strategic intention of the captives to advance eastward. The work of meritorious service, in the thousands of horses and horses of the Qin Wang Division, can be called dazzling.

Two months ago, who would have thought that the weak brigade of the Jiangdong Left Army would repeatedly achieve such miraculous feats, and who would have believed that it would be a 22-year-old young man who would lead the Jiangdong Left Army to such a brilliant record?

Song Bo glanced back, Lin Lian's figure was reflected on the tent by the candle, this was the cowhide tent left by Dongyu, he saw Lin Lian slamming the things on the table to the ground, no sound came out, thinking that Lin Lian probably threw Yue Lengqiu's letter to the ground.

Indeed, Yue Lengqiu's behavior is somewhat shameless.

At the beginning of December, Yue Lengqiu led part of the elite combat forces of the Eastern Fujian Qin Wang Division to leave Jinan and enter Jinzhong to the west, but in fact, he did not go deep into the hinterland of Jinzhong, and made a detour from the hole in the middle section of Taihang Mountain to disturb and plunder into the ribs of the prisoners, and contain the prisoners, so they stayed in the small city at the southeast foot of Taihang Mountain for nearly a month.

In the middle of last month, seeing the change in the direction of the imperial court and the strong winds of the war, and also seeing the momentum of the main force of the eastern captives to continue to attack, Yue Lengqiu led the army south out of Taihang Mountain and entered Hebi in the southwest of Linqing to garrison.

Yue Lengqiu, as the governor of Eastern Fujian, is a local member of the second grade, and gathers the generals and officials of the Qinwang Division in Zhongzhou, with Yue Lengqiu's status being the most respectful, and his person is the core figure of the Chu Party. In mid-January, the imperial court sent envoys to Hebi to comfort the army, and specially appointed Governor Yue Lengqiu to assemble the armies of the Qinwang Division on the Southern Front in Shandong, Zhongzhou, and Jinzhong to unify the command of the war on the Southern Front.

Seeing that the Jiangdong Left Army had made great achievements on the Eastern Front, Yue Lengqiu would only do these opportunistic and trivial personnel for merit and profit, Song Bo, as a member of the account of the governor of Eastern Fujian, was ashamed of what Yue Lengqiu had done, but the reality was so ridiculous and cruel, the great merit of recovering Jinan was taken away by Yue Lengqiu, and the credit for the defense of Yangxin, Yue Lengqiu, as the governor of the southern front, also had to take one or two points.

Geng Quanshan and Chen Dingbang hurried over; Song Bo made a gift, Geng Quanshan and Chen Dingbang ignored him coldly, and went straight into Lin Bin's big tent to discuss matters. Song Bo looked at their hateful eyes, but the anger in their hearts was understandable, Lu Jingyan died in battle, and the Shao Wu army who assisted in defending Jinan could almost be called the annihilation of the entire army, and Yue Lengqiu, who had to take responsibility for this, became the governor of the southern front and became a great hero in the recovery of Jinan.

Yue Lengqiu not only pointed fingers at the direction of movement of the Jiangdong Left Army, but also asked Shao Wu's remnant army to pull out the camp and return to Jinan to assemble when he received the military order.

Lin Lian can still rely on his merits without being restrained by Yue Lengqiu, but Geng Quanshan and Chen Dingbang are the generals of the Eastern Fujian Qin Wang Division, and they dare to disobey Yue Lengqiu's military orders without Lu Jingyan's protection, and Yue Lengqiu most likely dares to cut off their heads to establish authority.

After a while, Zhang Jinxian of Yangxinzhi County and Cheng Weiyuan, the county lieutenant, also hurried over, and they were accompanied by Zuo Tanggui of King Lu's Mansion. Zuo Tanggui didn't invite Lin Jian to discuss matters, he was sent by General Zhenguo to invite Song Bo to the city to discuss things.
