"Jinan is lost!" Lin Jian stared at Cao Ziang who hurriedly broke in to report the news, he accidentally knocked over the candlestick on the table, and didn't bother to pick up the extinguished candlestick from the brick floor, his eyes looked at Cao Ziang, and he very much expected Cao Ziang to tell him that it was a joke. How could Jinan be lost? Jinan gathered most of Shandong's town army, and there was Lu Jingyan, the general of Eastern Fujian, to assist in the defense, how could it be possible to capture captives who were not good at siege warfare and did not have heavy siege equipment?

Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, thinking that winning the Jinhai victory would threaten the flank of Kou Dongyu and force him to retreat from Jinan in advance.

Such an outcome is difficult for anyone to accept.

Don't talk about Lin Xuwen, Liu Zhi, and Yang Zhishan, even after Lin Tie's victory in Jinhai, he also has the illusion of turning the tide, where can he think that their victory in Jinhai will not affect the overall situation at all, let alone turn the tide.

"It may not be lost," Cao Ziang said bitterly, "The Linqing rebels helped the eastern captives to besiege Jinan, attacking three sides, leaving the south gate alone." In the past 11 days, the captives have attacked the city and lost a large number of soldiers, and they cannot be attacked. It was not until yesterday that the Eastern Captives began to organize their troops to assemble at the south gate, intending to attack the south gate. At noon yesterday, the Zhejiang soldiers who assisted in guarding the southern city of Jinan did not lose a single soldier, but they were too timid to fight with the eastern captives, and suddenly abandoned the south gate and fled into the mountains when there was still a big gap in the encirclement, so that the captives captured the south gate without losing a single soldier. When the scouts I stayed in Jinan rushed out of the city to report the news, the inner city and the northern city had not yet been lost, and General Lu Jingyan, the defender of Zhaowu Town, led his troops to resolutely resist in the northern city, and the captives might not be able to capture Jinan......"

"Brute! Eat the king's food, eat the people of the world, be timid like a snake and a mouse, and steal a living, how different from a beast! Lin Jian patted the table, scolded angrily, and directly cracked the already thin cypress table, and the chopsticks on the table were scattered.

Lin Lian's gaffe slapped the table, which also brought Lin Xuwen and the others back to their senses.

Lin Xuwen said uncertainly: "When the scout left Jinan to report the news, the inner city and the northern city were not lost, I heard that the general of Zhaowu Town was brave and good at fighting, and his subordinates were the elite of a hundred battles who had fought with Li Zhuo for many years, as long as they could retreat to the inner city, Jinan would probably be able to hold ......."

Lin Jian realized his gaffe at this time, he angrily scolded Zhao Jinlong, the general of the Qinwang soldiers who defended Jinan in the two Zhejiang associations, and in fact, he scolded the Qinwang soldiers who were timid and avoided the battle, and Hao Zongcheng, the head of the Inner Servant Province, was not much better than the Zhejiang generals who fled from the south gate of Jinan.

Liu Zhi sat on the side, looking embarrassed, as if he had scolded Lin Zhi.

Ma Yigong, Zhou Tong, Yang Yihang and others betrayed the eunuch Hao Zongcheng in the first battle of Gaoyang, and gritted their teeth with hatred for the Zhejiang soldiers who abandoned Jinan and fled.

The Zhejiang soldiers are afraid of war, if they withdraw early, it will be enough, they will not expect them to defend the city, nor will they arrange him to defend the southern city. Zhao Jinlong wants to be in front of him, Lin Jian can really kill him with one sword!

When Lin Jian was in Jinan, he felt that the Zhejiang soldiers were unreliable, but there were no generals of the Great Yue Dynasty who were absurd, degenerate, cowardly, and disregarding friendly troops to such a point, did Zhao Jinlong think that he could escape today, and the imperial court would not settle accounts with him after the war?

Hao Zongcheng has the support of the emperor behind him, he can betray the Jin Zhong Army, and the Jin Zhong Army is completely disabled, and it is difficult to find trouble for Hao Zongcheng without a supporting character. But the generals of Eastern Fujian are still there, Li Zhuo, Chen Zhihu, Dong Yuan and the generals who stayed in Eastern Fujian, which one will spare Zhao Jinlong?

Thinking about Chen Zhi, the captain of Jiangning Dongcheng, I really don't know how many incompetent, greedy, and timid generals and officials like Chen Zhi and Zhao Jinlong were still crammed into the military system of the Great Yue Dynasty. Zhao Jinlong was greedy for the money that Jinan gave him to help him lead the Zhejiang soldiers to stay in Jinan to assist in the defense, but he stabbed Jinan with the most ferocious knife at the most critical moment. This sword is a hundred times more ferocious than the most ferocious enemy.

How many people are trustworthy in such a Great Yue Dynasty?

Lin Lian suppressed the monstrous anger in his heart and instructed Cao Ziang: "You call the scout who reported the news in, and the adults will ask him about his affection......" But his voice was a little out of shape, showing the suppressed anger in his heart.

"A total of five scouts came from the north, and they were intercepted by enemy outposts on the way, and only one of them was able to come. Cao Ziang said sadly.

There are more than 500 miles in a straight line from Jinan to Jinhai, and more than one day and one night are galloping on horses, even ordinary people can't bear it, not to mention that the scout was intercepted and injured on the road!

Lin Jian clenched his fists and knuckles, frowned, and asked Cao Ziang: "What kind of wind is outside?" ”

"There is no wind at this time," said Cao Ziang, "and I have prepared the first, second, and third battalions to board the ship......

"No," Lin Jian shook his head and said, "If there is no wind for a day, you will have to wait here for an extra day, there will be no such time." I will give you an hour, and you will gather all the cavalry of all your battalions and prepare to go with me!" You stay at the mouth of the vortex and let Zhou Pu lead the foot soldiers to take a boat, and you can meet the best ...... on the way."

"If General Lu can hold Jinan, the Jiangdong Left Army will not be able to enter the inner city to help defend it, and if it is only to contain the captives on the periphery, the strength of the Jiangdong Left Army will be too small to play a big role." Lin Xuwen persuaded that he couldn't watch Lin Jian lead the Jiangdong Left Army, an elite army that had grown up with great difficulty, to Jinan to die......

"I'm afraid Jinan can't hold it," Lin Lian's subordinate Cao Ziang prepared directly, and did not ask Liu Zhi, the deputy envoy of Guanjunrong, to explain to Lin Xuwen, "If you can retreat to the inner city, after the south gate is lost, Lu Jingyan will definitely withdraw his troops to the inner city first, and will not wait until the east city and the west city are lost one after another and still fight to the death with the captives in the north city...... If the inner city can be defended by the elite of Eastern Fujian, the problem will naturally not be the worst, if the inner city will block the elite of Eastern Fujian outside the city, Jinan will really fall into a dangerous situation from which it will not recover! ”

Lin Xuwen sighed, the sudden withdrawal of the Zhejiang soldiers caused the south gate to be captured, and the Jinan place naturally will no longer trust the guest army, and it is very likely that the Eastern Fujian army will be refused to enter the inner city to help defend it. The captives invaded the city, and the Eastern Fujian army fell into the dilemma of being attacked inside and outside only by virtue of the thin city gate tower in the north city, and it was extremely difficult to repel several times the enemy, and most of them were the fate of the whole army being wiped out, and the local defenders in the interior of Jinan, how to combat it, is really worrying.

Lin Xuwen persuaded again: "Since General Lu is fierce and unlucky, it will be useless for you to lead your troops to Jinan again." ”

"No, I'm not going to Jinan, I'm going to Yangxin," Lin Jian said, turning over the map from the pile of official brochures, pushing the other miscellaneous items on the table directly to the ground, spreading out the map, pointing out the location of the Yangxin area, and saying, "Jinan is the gateway for the captives to ride east into Shandong. Before the war, the main forces in Shandong were concentrated in Jinan. Jinan fell, Shandong not only lost the shielding portal, Shandong also had few soldiers left, the thieves only needed to send some cavalry to the east, and the prefectures and counties in eastern Shandong would be difficult to resist. We must not only defend Yangxin, but also turn into a sharp knife against the waist of the captives who want to enter Linzi eastward, so that they dare not attack Linzi, let alone enter the area east of Linzi in a roundabout way. I want to enter Yangxin before the day after tomorrow, and Dongyu should be able to draw troops from Jinan and march east today...... Yannan has already been disabled, and Shandong can't be disabled anymore! ”

"I'll go with the adults to keep the yang letter!" Ma Yigong, Yang Yihang, and Zhou Tong asked for battle together.

Gao Yang was defeated, Admiral Yang Zhaoqi was killed in battle, and Hao Zongcheng, who was almost wiped out by the Jin Zhong soldiers, was promoted to become wealthy, and was entrusted with the general responsibility of the director of the Tianxia Qin Wang Division, they no longer had the slightest confidence in the imperial court, and naturally they had no loyalty, and they didn't know who they were fighting for. Agreeing to join forces with the Jiangdong Left Army was also to get rid of their own predicament. After the victory in Jinhai, the accumulated military merits at least prevented them from being held accountable after the war, and they were depressed and had no desire to lead troops to fight in this imperial court. Maybe he will continue to mix in the town army system, or maybe he will degenerate from now on, no different from other generals, or he may slip away at a critical moment, regardless of the life or death of his allies.

The encounter of the defenders of Jinan, Lin Bin's anger of departure stimulated their most sensitive and painful nerves, and Lin Tie was not afraid of difficulties and selfishness to go to Yangxin to save the danger, which also stimulated their fighting spirit to follow Lin Tie to guard Yangxin.

If Jinan falls, the 50,000 or 60,000 captives and more than 10,000 rebels on the southern line of the eastern captives are all alive together, and there is no containment, but Yangxin is a small city in the south of Hejian Funan, and guarding Yangxin is like guarding a sinking reef between the stormy waves.

Ma Yigong, Yang Yihang, and Zhou Tong could think of the dangers of going to Yangxin, but they couldn't control these dangers.

"No," Lin Jian refused, "If Jinan falls, the situation will be completely active for the prisoners, the thieves can use more chess pieces, and the power to counterattack Jinhai may be more ferocious," Lin Jian said, "I hope that the Jinzhong army can assist Lin Duqi to hold on to the three villages of Changlu, Qingqi, and Wukou, and I will also make Cao Ziang lead the third battalion to stay, maybe you will fight harder!" ”

Ma Yigong thought for a moment and said: "The captives and cavalry are coming back, we can only defend the village, and it is useless to keep the cavalry, we can gather three hundred cavalry, and let Zhou Tong take Lord Lin over......"

"Okay! Just let Zhou Tong go with me. "Lin Tie considered that the withdrawal of three hundred cavalry is not much weakened here, the key is that the cavalry of the Jiangdong Left Army is too weak, this is difficult to achieve in a short period of time, from Jinhai to Yangxin there are more than three hundred miles, long-distance gallop assistance, the test of the cavalry is very big, Lin Tie must also consider the situation that the forward cavalry of the captives has arrived in Yangxin, there is no cavalry to see, it is really not good.

Lin Jian arranged everything, and only then did he think of Liu Zhilai, the deputy envoy of the Jiangdong Left Army, and asked: "Lord Liu, do you want to go with me to stay in Yangxin, or stay to help Lin Du guard Jinhai Sanzhai?" ”

Liu Zhi's face was cloudy, considering that it was still safer in the vortex village, it was a big deal for the captives to fight back, and fled to the island to live for a few days, and said after a while: "I'm not good at horseback riding, this is the first time in my life to take a boat in the past two days, the world is spinning, it's really unbearable, I'll stay and help guard Jinhai, Jiangdong Left Army also has a battalion to stay...... "He knows that going to Yangxin is also a decoration, and it is impossible for Lin Jian to let him meddle in military affairs, so why bother to eat this danger?"
