Chapter 38: Three Excerpts
(This is the second update.,The word of today's car yard.,People in the field.,The update tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be a little sorry brothers)
Lin Tie pinned the gourd scoop that scooped cold boiled water to drink behind him, looked coldly at Tao Chun, who was kneeling on the ground and howling loudly, and said: "You are punishing your words, I, Lin Tie, am loyal to the court, and Yue Dou is the spine of Jianghuai, if I have the ability, how can I sit and watch Yue Dou be trapped in Xuzhou and not send troops to rescue me?" "Drag this bastard thing out of front of my eyes!" ”
The four guards on the left and right stepped forward, like tigers and wolves, and dragged Tao Chun out.
Tao Chun is also a brave general, the first time he broke out, there are still gaps to be found, after entering June, Xuzhou day and night in the monitoring of the exile army, he broke out.
He wailed loudly: "My lord, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xucheng are waiting for you to send troops, my lord, you can't die without help!" ”
Although he had great strength, he supported the guards, and did not dare to struggle too hard to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he was killed in vain, his feet pressed on the ground, and the soft sand dragged out two shallow ditches.
Lin Jian threw the scoop into the cool boiled bucket, clapped his hands, and said angrily to Liu Tingzhou: "It's really a joke, God still has the virtue of a good life, how can I be a person who ignores the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou?" Yue Du has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who can't defeat the Liukou, and I can't know what to do, and I took thousands of people to Xuzhou to die in vain! ”
"This, this ......" Liu Tingzhou smiled embarrassedly.
Liu Tingzhou secretly said in his heart: I touched the nail last time, and Yue Lengqiu sent Tao Chun to break through to Huai'an to rescue, and it was really in a desperate situation. If Xuzhou is really broken, the Changhuai army will be destroyed, and it will not be beneficial to anyone, but Lin Bin's attitude is so resolute that he directly sent someone to drag Tao Chun away, and he doesn't know how to persuade him.
"What a joke, saying that I won't save if I die?" Lin Jian was still angry, and said angrily, "I only have 5,000 old pawns and 6,000 new soldiers in my hands. If you want to say that you don't save when you die, Cheng Bing's department still has 20,000 elite soldiers in Jiangning, is it also a death and not rescue? Luzhou also has 10,000 town army elites, why not go north to attack Shouzhou and Haozhou? Lu Guogong had 50,000 elite soldiers in Jinan, why didn't he go south to attack Jining and relieve the siege of Xuzhou? Say I won't be saved when I die! It's really angry with me, it's because I'm so bullied that I can't do it! Speaking of this, Lin Jian threw off his armor and left, leaving Liu Tingzhou there as well.
Zhang Yubo was unwell and returned to the city to escape the heat, and the local officials only Liang Wenzhan of Huai'an Zhixian County were there.
Lin Jian lost his temper, Liu Tingzhou was thrown on the field, he glanced at Liang Wenzhan, called him aside and asked, "Do you think the envoy is really annoyed or falsely annoyed?" ”
"Did Lord Fuzun ask if the envoy really didn't want to save Xuzhou, or if he didn't want to save Xuzhou?" Liang Wenzhan asked.
Liu Tingzhou stroked his beard under his chin and nodded, knowing that Liang Wenzhan was always strategic, he was in Huai'an, Xiao Kuian, and Liang Wenzhan was heavy, he originally wanted to use Liang Wenzhan as the general judge, but Jiang Ning asked Lin Jian to send troops to guard Huai and stuff Zhang Yubo to Huai'an.
He motioned for Liang Wenzhan to continue.
"Tang Gong and Zhang Xiang are so troubled that they can't even do it as teachers and students, how can we understand the grievances between the two? It is impossible for Yue Du to think that sending General Tao over to cry heart-rending can move Lin Lian," Liang Wenzhan said, "Yue Du does not shed tears when he sees the coffin, and he does not scatter eagles if he does not see rabbits......"
"So, the envoy will still send troops in the end?" Liu Tingzhou asked.
Liang Wenzhan nodded and said: "The year before last, the Eastern Captives broke through the border and entered the Kou, and the system made the lone army enter Yannan in the north, and its courage can be called unparalleled in the world. Saving Xuzhou this time seems to be more dangerous than the one that went north to Yannan, but in fact it is not, the key is how to save it......"
"Capture Suyu and Suining, or conquer the enemy in front of Shukou, and join forces with the Shuyang defenders to attack Yancheng, as long as you enter Linyi, the siege of Xuzhou will be lifted," Liu Tingzhou said, "It seems that the troops in the hands of the envoy are indeed ......a little insufficient."
The Jiangdong Left Army was still invincible in the field, but there were three or five thousand elites who were not competent for the siege of the city.
Although the combat strength of the exile army is not as good as that of the Jiangdong Left Army, there is a walled city to defend, which will greatly make up for the lack of combat power.
"I think the system is quite confident, quite sure." Liang Wenzhan said.
"Oh?" Liu Tingzhou asked in surprise, "How can you tell?" ”
Liu Tingzhou knew that Liang Wenzhan had gotten along with Lin Tie a lot in the past half a month for building embankments and civil affairs, but Lin Tie people were here, except for training new pawns, they didn't care about the defense of Shukou at all, how could Liang Wenzhan see that Lin Tie was confident?
"These newly recruited soldiers, in the past ten days or so, have not gone through drill columns, but only practiced defensive operations in detachments. Lord Fuzun, you see the section of the city wall, the cantonment cave, the city gate road, and the ditch on the side of the school field, which are for the new soldiers to practice the art of defense. My lord, what do you think Lin Jian is going to do? Liang Wenzhan sold a pass and asked Liu Tingzhou rhetorically.
"Is the envoy planning to use these 6,000 new pawns to replace the 5,000 elites in the Shukou camp?" Liu Tingzhou's mind turned quickly, but he said worriedly, "These 6,000 soldiers have only been recruited for half a month, can they be used to guard Shukou?" ”
"Don't forget, when the envoy went north to King Qin, he recruited 3,000 people bravely, and when he arrived in Jinan, he dared to fight with the captives. Liang Wenzhan also can't see through the military system of Lin Bin, after all, he can't get in touch with the details of the army, and he stands from a distance to watch, how can he see what is going on?
Speaking of the speed of the army, it is not only the Jiangdong Left Army.
When the Liang family hibernated in Qinyang, they also poured Yunbo Liang Chengyi to lead five or six thousand elites, but when Liang Xi and Liang Chengchong were ordered to attack the rebels in the west, they also recruited more than 10,000 brave men from the local area, and when they were equipped, they were pulled out to attack the camp and pull out the village.
Speaking of the same reason, after the fiasco of Chen Tangyi, the Liang father and son were forced to hand over the military power, but there were also a large number of generals and old soldiers who followed back to Qinyang to relieve their armor and return to the field.
Based on these generals and veterans, the Liang family's strength has expanded by more than 10,000 people, and it is natural that they can be pulled out to fight.
The fact that the Liang father and son can achieve this degree is the accumulation of connections of several generations of the Liang family.
Although the generals in the army also have a tradition of passing on the art of war and tactics, it is mainly limited to the inheritance of the division, and it is far less rapid, effective and formal than the batch training of Lin Lianjian's combat training school!
Hearing Liang Wenzhan say this, Liu Tingzhou put his mind at ease and watched the play, knowing that Yue Lengqiu must have the means to persuade Lin Bin, or the conditions for changing Lin Bin's troops to relieve the siege of Xuzhou.
Of course, these conditions must be a big loss to Zhang, Yue and Gu, Lin, Yue Lengqiu must have ordered Tao Chun, and he can't easily show these hole cards - this is what Liang Wenzhan said, Yue Lengqiu doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin.
Although Lin Tie is young, he can climb to such a high position and have such a reputation, he is naturally not a simple person, what tricks Yue Lengqiu has, he can't see through it, and he can let Tao Chun spit out all the benefits that Yue Lengqiu promised - this is what Liang Wenzhan said, Lin Tie is not a rabbit and a hawk.
Okay, everyone is pretending, Liu Tingzhou will also go back to Huai'an City, Xuzhou will not be extinguished for a while, see how Tao Chun fights with Lin Tie?
Liu Tingzhou secretly said that Yue Lengqiu came over in person, Tao Chun is a military general, and he can compare to Lin Tie compared to scheming? The key is that Yue Lengqiu and Tao Chun have no hole cards to use.
Liu Tingzhou was faint from the sun, went back to the city to eat melons to relieve the heat, and when it was about to get dark, the door official reported Tao Chun to see him.
Liu Tingzhou also wanted to prompt Lin Jian to send troops to relieve the siege of Xuzhou as soon as possible and summon Tao Chun in.
"Lord Liu, these are the three secret folds that Governor Yue asked me to keep even if I die, I want Lord Liu to read them, and then decide which ones to submit to Beijing!" Tao Chun took out three copies of Yue Lengqiu's recitals written in Xuzhou from his arms.
Liu Tingzhou was puzzled in his heart, what conditions did Yue Lengqiu want to answer Lin Lian, and what would I do if I was involved?
When I opened the first secret fold, it turned out to be a guilty fold.
Yue Lengqiu took the responsibility for Xiao Taoyuan's rebellion, his ineffective suppression of the Liukou, and his ineffective supervision of the transportation of grain, and asked him to resign from the post of governor of Jianghuai.
Liu Tingzhou thought that Yue Lengqiu's determination was still really great, and he knew that Lin Lian would not allow him to continue to ride on his head, and the condition he offered was to resign from the position of governor of Jianghuai.
Since Yue Lengqiu took all the blame for these things on his head and handed him the fold, Zhang Xie couldn't protect him, and there was no possibility of repentance.
This condition is not unattractive, but Yue Lengqiu's removal from the position of governor of Jiangdong does not mean that Lin Lian and Gu Wuchen will benefit from it. Thinking that with this book, Lin Jian would not be moved, and easily agreed to send troops.
Liu Tingzhou opened the second book of excerpts, and actually suggested that the imperial court set up a minister of river defense, the same as the governor, and recommended Gu Wuchen to let him be.
The authority of the governor of Jianghuai is too great, and Yue Lengqiu is guilty of the crime, even if he recommends Gu Wuchen to replace him, it is unlikely that the court will pass.
It is more practical to set up a minister of river defense or a governor of river defense, and recommend Gu Wuchen to let him go.
For the imperial court, this move can also avoid concentrating the authority of Jiangdong County too much in the hands of the Jianghuai governor, and in fact, it does not increase Gu Wuchen's authority too much, and it is very likely that the imperial court will allow it.
Gu Wuchen naturally took another step forward, and he could officially break away from Cheng Yuqian's moderation, surpass Wang Xueshan, Wang Tian, Yu Xinyuan and others, and become a super local official at the same level as the governor of Jianghuai and the secretary of the Jiangning Military Department.
For the imperial court, it seems that the formation of a power structure in the southeast in which King Ning, the governor of King Ning's mansion, and the governor of Jianghuai, the secretary of the Jiangning military department, and the minister of Jiangfang contain each other, seems to be quite good.
Liu Tingzhou felt that the second book of excerpts was quite weighty, and when he reached out to get the third book, he wondered in his heart: Does Yue Lengqiu still think that the first two books of excerpts can't touch Lin Bin's heart?
After pondering for a while, I thought that maybe, after all, Yue Lengqiu, the second excerpt, had no right to decide, but only suggested that he should set up a minister of river defense, and he was not allowed to be in the imperial court.
Liu Tingzhou opened the third fold, and at first glance, he almost threw away the fold.
Tao Chun was present, and Liu Tingzhou was also inconvenient to scold Yue Lengqiu for harming Huai'an, and only said: "After quelling the disaster, most of Huaidong will restore peace, where is the need for a permanent envoy?" Yue Du's twist and turn is absolutely impossible! ”
Yue Lengqiu's third excerpt actually suggested that the imperial court set up an envoy to Huaidong, take Huai'an as the place of governance, and recommend Lin to bind him.
As a local military governor, the envoy has the right to control the civil servants of the prefecture and county in wartime, and it is not permanent, and there are often border towns.
This time, if it weren't for the fact that the disaster was too fierce and difficult to control, Jiang Ning would not have taken expedient measures to transfer Lin Jian to guard Huai in the name of Jingkou's envoy.
Generally speaking, the authority of the envoy is not as good as that of the admiral, but the bad thing is that the Cao family has set a bad example.
Cao Hongfan took advantage of the rebellion of the extravagant family to coerce the imperial court to allow the Cao family's son to take over his father's position, and Cao Yiqu's attack on Cao Hongfan's official position was to consolidate the original system.
As soon as this example was opened, Yue Lengqiu suggested that the Huaidong system should be set up, and Lin Jian would follow the Cao family in the future, designate an heir, and ask the imperial court for approval, and the imperial court could not even use this as an excuse to directly use troops against Lin Lian.
With the means of Lin Binding, Huaidong made it a common-sense official position, and with Huai'an as the place of governance, he was able to turn Huai'an Mansion into his Lin Bin's private territory!
In the matter of the courage of the 6,000 displaced people, Liu Tingzhou was fooled, and he was very wary of Lin Bin, so he felt that Yue Lengqiu's third book was just to get rid of himself and save his life, and he was going to harm Huai'an.
