The luxury family pressed their troops on the western front, from Wuyuan to Chun'an, less than 200 miles, and gathered more than 50,000 elite troops, in addition to 30,000 or 40,000 miscellaneous auxiliary soldiers.

The Tangwu set in the upper reaches of the Xin'an River is the administrative office of the Governor's Office of the Western Governor of Zhejiang.

With Tangwuji as the center, Luxury Feixiong built six camps in Jiangjiaji, Qixi, Baijizhai, Luofengshan and other places within a radius of less than 20 miles on the periphery, stationed 30,000 elites, and maintained the offensive against Yuling Pass in the north.

Entering Huizhou from western Zhejiang, the terrain gives Baiji Mountain and Fuyu Mountain Range a natural barrier. Deng Yu took Huizhou City as the center, and heavily armed the dangerous and important passes such as Saiyuling Pass. Although the Zhejiang-Fujian army has many soldiers and horses, its combat power is also strong, but it has been fighting for half a year, and it is impossible to defeat Huinan.

In addition to the western Zhejiang battalion in Tangwuji, Xufeixiong also deployed more than 20,000 heavy troops in Wuyuan County, a hundred miles to the west, to maintain the offensive against Fuliang County, Jiangxi.

Although the deployment of the luxury family on the western front is to gather troops in one place, it is conducive to the simultaneous use of troops in southern Huizhou and Jiangxi. No matter which direction opens the gap first, it can allow the Zhejiang-Fujian army to drive straight in, advance into the Central Plains, and seize a large area of plastered land.

In the Xingyuan hall, Extravagant Feixiong sat behind the Nanmu Gong case surrounded by red brocade forging, and listened to the generals' report on the battle at Yuling Pass with a gloomy face.

"If I lead people up again, no matter how hard the bones of Yulingguan are, I will gnaw it down. If I can't fight again, I'd rather cut off my generals, and I will never complain! Wang Hui's voice was excited, and he wanted to make a military order.

Wang Hui was originally a good general, but after he surrendered to the luxury family, he also knew that there was no way out, and if he wanted to show his face among the military generals of Jin'an, he needed to work very hard. In the past few months, he has fought Yuling Pass, all of which are under Wang Hui's department, and the consumption is very large, but fortunately, Luxury Feixiong has given him more and more troops in time, and he has not taken the opportunity to weaken him, which makes him grateful, and he wants to earn the first credit for overcoming Yuling Pass.

Yuling Pass is not the only passage from western Zhejiang to southern Huinan, Wang Hui even tried his best to open up a mountain trail from the east side of Yuling Pass, and sent troops to the north of Yuling Pass, and carried out a north-south attack on Yuling Pass. However, without capturing Yuling Pass, a large amount of materials could not be transported from western Zhejiang to southern Huinan, let alone attacking Huizhou and other cities defended by Deng Yue's heavy troops......

"General Wang Hui did his best, everyone can see it," no matter how bad the mood of the extravagant bear is, he also wants to comfort the generals who have served the extravagant family wholeheartedly, and said, "The most important thing at the moment is to prevent Deng Yu from supporting Yuling Pass from Huizhou." There are 3,000 defenders in Yuling Pass, no matter how tenacious and more water grinding work is consumed, it can be captured, and it is impatient...... General Yu and General Tian, you also sent some men to support General Wang Hui. Because of the deployment, General Wang Hui led his troops to the front, but he could not let General Wang Hui lose his troops alone, from today onwards, you will each draw 2,000 elites, hand them over to General Wang Hui for unified control, and take turns to attack Yuling Pass! "Extravagant Fei Xiong ordered Yu Wenshan and other generals from the Zhejiang and Fujian factions to decide to press the elite of Zhejiang and Fujian to attack Yuling Pass at this time, and Wuyuan should also increase the pressure.

Wang Hui was grateful.

At this time, Shi Tianchang, the chief of the announcement, came over outside the door.

Tian Chang was originally the military officer of the Mingzhou Mansion and the military of the Governor's Mansion of the two Zhejiang, and secretly joined the luxury family in his early years, and was the culprit of the destruction of the soldiers of the two Zhejiang counties in the Chang Kingdom.

Extravagant Feixiong led the troops to fight in western Zhejiang, and Tian Chang sat in Huiji to ensure that the grain and straw in Mingzhou, Huiji and other places continued to be transported through the Qianjiang River for tens of thousands of troops in western Zhejiang.

Tian Chang came to Tangwu at this time, and all the generals had doubts on their faces, and they didn't know what was important when he came over to see the eldest prince in person.

"That's all for today's deliberations, and all the generals will follow the instructions......" Extravagant Fei Xiong sent the generals away and asked people to invite Tian Chang in.

"Governor, how is the war in western Zhejiang?" Tian Chang walked in to salute and asked straight to the point about the war situation in western Zhejiang.

Fei Fei Xiong shook his head as usual and said, "It will take a few days......

"Most of the Changhuai Army and the Huaidong Army have already set off to go north to King Qin. In addition to the Jiangning garrison, on the front line of the Yangtze River, the only troops that the imperial court can draw are about 10,000 people from the Dongyang Army, the Changhuai Army, and the Ning ......Navy of Meng Yishan," Tian Chang said, "The Fang family sent someone to ask again, will the governor leave Fangjiabu?" ”

Extravagant Feixiong's face was solemn, and he asked Tian Chang: "Is the Fang family reliable?" ”

"Fang Zhenhe has been a personal friend with a humble position for 20 years, and he is familiar with each other; If he gives it to Dong Yuan, he can't hide it from his humble eyes," Tian Chang said, "Besides, after the Governor sends light troops to seize the lower home port, and the army follows him, what kind of trap can he have?" Can Fang Zhenhe be ruthless and use more than 100 people from the Fang family to help Dong Yuan? ”

"Well, that's ......," Fei Fei Bear nodded.

It is most convenient to go east from the west of Zhejiang and go down the Xin'an River-Qianjiang River.

From Chun'an down the river to the east is Tonglu County, Tonglu County is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, to the luxury family to take over, is the luxury family to connect the east of Zhejiang, the west of Zhejiang two places of the pass.

Further east is Fuyang County, Fuyang County is on the north bank of the river, is the southwest gateway of Hangzhou, and is an important town for Dong Yuan's troops to block the luxury family from the east line to the north. In the north of Fuyang County is Linshui County, and it is also the only way for the luxury family to advance north from the eastern front, and Dong Yuan sent heavy troops to defend it.

In addition to the northward route of Fuyang and Linshui, there is also a trail that can go north in the west of Linshui County.

This trail generally goes north from Chun'an County along the eastern foot of Fuyu Mountain, not only bypassing the heavily defended Linshui County, but also leading to Anji County, the capital of Huzhou in the north, and laying the hinterland of Huzhou Prefecture; It can also pass through the northern foot of Fuyu Mountain in the southwest of Anji County, and enter Huizhou to beat Deng Yu's abdomen after winning the Qianqiu Pass; Or seize Dusong Pass and enter Ningguo County in the north of Huizhou Prefecture. In particular, Dusongguan is a land artery that enters Jiangning from northwest Zhejiang.

This route is dangerous, but Dong Yuan is not unguarded, and along the line is placed in Fenshui, Yinzhu, Fangjiabu, Yuqian and other villages to defend. At the same time, this route has a fork in the road and Linshui County, and the fork is the Fangjiabu that Tian Chang said in his mouth, which is the top priority of the route.

It is also easy for the Zhejiang-Fujian army to seize the lower home port first, and then remove other obstacles on this route by surprise, and then it can advance north along the eastern foot of Fuyu Mountain; But in the same way, if Fangjiabu sends troops to Dong Yuan to recapture it from Linshui, then the Zhejiang-Fujian army that attacked in the early stage will become a turtle in the urn, and if the retreat route is cut off, it will fall into an extremely dangerous situation.

There are two key points in the development of this strategy.

First, it is necessary to wait until the hinterland of Jiangdong County is empty, and the elite of the Zhejiang-Fujian army that entered in the early stage can make great achievements without hindrance, so as to completely disrupt the deployment of the imperial court on the southern front and reduce the resistance of the main force to attack from the front.

The second is to use troops in eastern Zhejiang to attract Dong Yuan's troops in Fuyang and other cities, while western Zhejiang will use Fangjiabu as a jumping platform to attack and seize Linshui. Only by laying the waterfront can we ensure the safety of the flanks of this route at the eastern foot of Fuyu Mountain, and even the main force of soldiers and horses in western Zhejiang can be transported to the hinterland of Jiangdong through this road, and the foundation of the Yuan clan in the south of the Yangtze River will be broken in one fell swoop!

The Donghu people broke through the pass again, Chen Zhihu was transferred to King Qin, most of the Changhuai Army was transferred to King Qin, and the Huaidong Army was also transferred to King Qin-this is also the best time for the Zhejiang-Fujian army to break through to the north-Luxury Feixiong also knows that if he doesn't fight, there will be no chance.

Not only can Yanjing be defended, but no matter whether Emperor Chongguan can escape, or move the capital to Jiangning, or set up a new emperor in Jiangning, it will be unavoidable. In the past two or three years, in order to maintain the lifeline of Gyeonggi, the Yuan clan has collected taxes from Jiangnan and other places to support the operation of the Jinhae grain route, and has invested millions of taels of silver every year.

Once the capital is moved or a new emperor is established in Jiangning, the resources that the Yuan clan can still control will be gathered with Jiangning as the core.

In addition to the fact that some soldiers and horses from the north will be withdrawn to the south, only the millions of taels of silver saved every year from the Jinhai Grain Road can allow Jiangning to raise more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

At that time, Zhejiang and Fujian will be in difficulty.

"Mobilize Su Tingzhan to gather troops to fight Fuyang!" After thinking about it for a long time, he finally made up his mind, signed the warrant and handed it to Tian Chang to take back, "I want Su Tingzhan to use twelve points of strength!" ”

The Flying Bear can't wait any longer, and in two months it will be the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, and the trail at the eastern foot of Fuyu Mountain will be extremely difficult to navigate in the rainy season.

"Yes!" Tian Chang said happily, it seems that he can see the situation after the Zhejiang-Fujian army attacked and seized Linshui, marched north from the eastern foot of Fuyu Mountain, and entered Anji and Ningguo! Tian Chang took the warrant of the extravagant flying bear, and on the same day, he took a boat down the Xin'an River to return to Huiji, and met Su Tingzhan, who had already prepared in Huiji.

On the 15th, the main force of the land and water soldiers and horses of the Hao family in eastern Zhejiang marched along the west under the leadership of the main general Su Tingzhan and others, attacking Fuyang, Hangzhou and other cities......

By this time, from Wuyuan to Chun'an to Fuyang, all the 100,000 soldiers and horses deployed by the luxury family in western and eastern Zhejiang were mobilized, and they attacked Jiangxi, Huizhou and Hangzhou at the same time in three ways.

The river network in northern Zhejiang is dense, and it can't stop the infiltration of the extravagant Zhedong water division, Dong Yuan looked at the warship approaching the city of Hangzhou with a sad face. Although he still has 40,000 soldiers and horses to call in northern Zhejiang, there are no more than 10,000 old soldiers, and most of the others are newly recruited soldiers after last autumn. Due to the soaring food prices, the urban households in the market are living in difficulty. In order to stabilize the situation, Dong Yuan was forced to recruit soldiers from Chengfang households. At this time, although it helped to alleviate the contradiction of soaring food prices, it also made the quality of the recruited soldiers poor. Lacking armor and training, these new recruits were not fighting well enough.

The city of Hangzhou is full of soldiers, and it is not afraid of losing, but Fuyang is a small city, the city is low, and it is close to the river, so it is easy to invest troops in the luxury family. Although Fuyang has 6,000 garrisons, it is difficult to say at this time whether it can resist the repeated attack of 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Hao family.

Dong Yuan didn't even realize that in the Zhufang Village on the western front of Linshui County, someone had secretly bought the luxury family......

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

On the 15th of March, Yuan Lishan led his troops to surrender, Songshan, Ningjin and other western Liaoning cities were all lost, and the news that 20,000 captives had bypassed Linyu Pass and entered Jizhou and completely besieged Changli reached Jinhai.

For the people of Jinhai, the worst prediction was confirmed - even if it had been expected, Lin Xuwen read the letter sent back by Tanma at the risk of his life, and his hands and feet were suddenly cold; Huang Jinnian and others were also silent.

Gao Zongting was even more speechless, he and the superintendent worked hard for several years, and they were defeated almost overnight, which made him feel good. I can't wait to tear up the letter and throw it in the faces of Hao Zongcheng, Zhang Xie, Zhang Ximiao and others, asking them to open their eyes and see this bloody fact.

"Did you send someone to the island to ask Lin Zhizhi to come over to discuss the matter," Huang Jinnian said, "Counting the schedule, the Huaidong Army should also go to Bohai Sea, right?" "Huang Jinnian, who is now in Jinhai, can only use the Huaidong Army as a lifesaver.

Lin Xuwen nodded and said yes, although Gao Zongting is also here, but Gao Zongting can't be regarded as Lin Lian's descendant, so he sent someone to find Sun Shangwang, who Lin Lian stayed in Jinhai City to contact, and asked Sun Shangwang to send someone to Jinwei Island to invite Lin Lian to come over to discuss the matter.

After more than an hour, Sun Shangwang went and returned, and came back with a letter in his hand, but there was no trace of Lin Bin.

"What about the envoy of the forest?" Huang Jinnian didn't see Lin Bin's people, and when he saw Sun Shangwang getting a letter over, he chuckled in his heart, didn't care about decency, stepped forward and grabbed his hand, and asked, "What about Lin Zhi's envoy?" ”

"My lord left Jinwei Island yesterday, and he will return in three or five days, and he was in a hurry, so he didn't have time to say a word to Lord Lin and Lord Huang," Sun Shangwang took a deep breath, he also just learned that Lin Jian secretly left Jinhai yesterday, and in order to hide people's eyes, he even parked the "Lin Zhengjun" on Jinwei Island, and he handed the letter in his hand to Lin Xuwen, "This is the letter that my family left to Lord Lin!" ”

Lin Xuwen couldn't figure out Lin Bin's intentions for a while, and opened the letter suspiciously-

Gao Zongting didn't need to read the letter, at this time, he was able to fully understand everything in his heart, and his heart was shocked: Lin Tie was a strategy to attack the west, under the guise of King Qin, and even did not hesitate to bully the king, and deceived everyone, including the ministers of the court!

Lin Jian committed the crime of bullying the king, who could help him?

Gao Zongting wanted to laugh and cry, and regardless of the fact that Lin Xuwen was reading the letter, he patted his thigh and walked straight out of the official hall......
