(The second update, ask for a red ticket)

When the soldiers attacked, Song Xiaobo, the capital supervisor of Hecheng, lost two souls, and scared a few staff members who wanted to flee for their lives.

After those staff members who knew in their hearts escaped, of course they would not follow Song Xiaobo to Weiyang Mansion to receive another connection, and when they arrived in Jiuhua, they parted ways and abandoned Song Xiaobo. Song Xiaobo met Wang Chengfu again at this time, and he didn't need Wang Chengfu's persuasion, he was a little calm, and he could also think of how big the crime of the city defender was to abandon the city and flee first, I am afraid that if his net worth is scattered, he may not be able to keep the head of Xiang Shang.

After thinking about it, Song Xiaobo felt that going to Weiyang to die for a lifetime was more dangerous than guarding Hecheng, of course he didn't dare to go, he also fantasized about abandoning the official and going, incognito, and being a rich man, and felt that this strategy was very difficult to do, and it was really difficult to make up his mind, so he listened to Wang Chengfu's persuasion, so he went ashore in a hurry and went to Chongzhou to try his luck.

Even if Lin Jian refused to agree to send troops to help him recapture Hecheng, the situation would not be much worse.

In order to finally achieve the goal of plotting the grassland of Hecheng, Lin Jian thought about it for a long time in the secret room, and finally decided to follow Wang Chengfu's suggestion and win him over Song Xiaobo, the eunuch of Hecheng, to cover up the crime of abandoning the city and fleeing.

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

Lin Jian and Wang Chengfu walked back to the meeting hall and said to the people guarding here: "Hecheng and Chongzhou are adjacent to each other, and Lord Song, the capital supervisor of Hecheng, has personally come to Chongzhou to ask for help, we can't stand idly by......"

Cao Ziang's heart was clear, he had just exchanged opinions with Fu Qinghe and Sun Jingtang in private, and when he heard Lin Jian say this, he turned over the letter and newspaper handed by the morning sentinel from Hecheng West from the desk, and asked, "This also needs to be revised?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Jian nodded sullenly, since he wanted to cover up the charges for Song Xiaobo, he not only had to send troops to help him recapture Hecheng, but also reversed black and white, and revised the story of him abandoning the city and fleeing first.

"The state affairs are all bad for the hands of such rats, Brother Lin didn't directly tie him up and send him to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for punishment, why did he have to write for him?" Zhao Shuhan and the others, who were waiting for news in the hall, changed their minds in a blink of an eye when they saw Lin Lian, and asked in surprise.

"Alas," Lin Jian couldn't reveal his intention to plot the Hecheng grassland with Gu Siyuan, Zhao Shuhan and others present at this time, but said with a wry smile, "The Hecheng military fortress is lost, Chongzhou is uneasy, and if you want to drive the Donghai Kou into the sea as soon as possible, some things can't be done rashly - the defenders of the Hecheng Division were defeated, but the casualties were not large, and they were all scattered in Chongzhou. There is not much food in the Hecheng military fortress, and if you want to restrict the Kou soldiers from raising food on the spot, you have to clear the wilderness and withdraw all the soldiers and civilians from the Zhudu Pavilion on the left and right, which will not work without Song Xiaobo......

"Song Xiaobo abandoned the city and fled, causing the army to collapse and lose the city, but now it has become him who went out of the city at night to Chongzhou to ask for help, the reinforcements did not arrive, and the defenders were not strong, so the city was taken by Kou lightly - this is indeed a thousand differences," Gu Siyuan said, "However, even if this side covers him up, the truth about the loss of the Hecheng Division will spread from the mouths of others, and how can he excuse him when the time comes?" ”

"This world is originally black and white," Lin Jian sighed, "As long as Song Xiaobo stays in Chongzhou and actively gathers the remnants of the army and assists me in counterattacking Hecheng, what if he escapes?" "I asked Wang Chengfu to go to the side hall and invite Song Xiaobo and Wu Meijiu back to discuss matters.

Lin Jian made up his mind, Zhao Shuhan and they were just guests who came to Chongzhou to attend the wedding, and they objected in their hearts, but they couldn't argue about anything in person, and they also stayed to discuss the affairs of the imperial court together.

Song Xiaobo saw that Lin Lian had changed his mind, and tried his best to cover up his big crime, and when he walked back, he knelt on the ground again, kowtowed a few times to Lin Lian, and said: "Lord Lin treats me like a parent, don't talk about the next life, it is also the honor of the lower official to be a dog and a horse for Lord Lin in this life......" Speaking of excitement, tears and snot were all pasted together.

Wu Meijiu couldn't help but show disdain, and wondered why Lin Jian suddenly changed his mind, obviously he was eager to get Song Xiaobo out just now?

"Lord Song, sit up and talk about things," Lin Jian wanted to pick up Song Xiaobo from the ground left and right, bring him a stool, and asked him, "Lord Song can carry the seal letter on his body?" In order to prevent the Donghai Kou from collecting grain on the spot and sticking to the Hecheng military fortress, it is necessary to immediately withdraw the Zhudu Pavilion grassland households and salt soldiers, Lord Song has been working hard for half the night, and it is inconvenient to work anymore, but I need Lord Song to issue an order, so I can send someone to do this on behalf of Lord Song......"

"The seal is on my side," Song Xiaobo as long as he didn't go up to die, at this time, everything was tied to Lin, he hurriedly lifted the placket, untied the silk bag from the meat folds around his waist, poured out a paperweight-sized copper seal, held it in both hands and handed it to Lin Bin's case, and said, "If Lord Lin wants to do anything, you can use the seal directly, and you don't need to discuss it with me......"

Wu Meijiu thought to himself that Song Xiaobo was really spineless, although he gave Lin Tie an air in Chongzhou and couldn't do anything, but his official seal would never let Lin Tie get involved, Song Xiaobo actually gave the official seal away, no wonder Lin Tie wanted to protect Song Xiaobo's life, such an obedient puppet is more effective than anything else.

Lin Jian was also stunned, he didn't expect Song Xiaobo to hand over the official seal so bluntly, which caught him off guard in front of Wu Meijiu, Zhao Shuhan, Gu Siyuan and others, smiled wryly, and said: "The seal letter should also be kept by Lord Song himself, and this official cannot exceed the escrow ......" At the moment, he immediately discussed sending a sentinel to carry the order letter issued by Song Xiaobo, sneaking into the hinterland of Hecheng grassland, and ordering the grassland households under the jurisdiction of Zhudu Pavilion to evacuate to the west and to Chongzhou, so that the guards of Duting should assemble in the direction of Jiangmen.

There are nine pavilions under the Hecheng Division, and in addition to more than 9,000 households in the pasture and outdoors, there are more than 400 garrisons.

Zhao Hu guards Jiangmen, the troops are still weak, once the war is ignited, Donghai Kou lands from Jiangmen, Zhao Hu's side will be very tight, and the reinforcements that can be transferred here will also be very limited.

These more than 400 Ding Yong are scattered in various capital pavilions, and they can't play a role in preventing bandits in peacetime, and their combined combat power is also very limited, but after all, they have a certain scale, and if they are rectified, they can also be used as auxiliaries.

In addition, most of the Hecheng troops who fled into the northeast area of Chongzhou, about five or six hundred people.

Some of these routs passed through the west garrison of Hecheng and detained more than 100 people for Liu Zhenzhi, but most of the routs were scattered in the villages, and there were already lootings.

Lin Jian said to Wang Chengfu: "Although you are a guilty body, but you say that the aid is meritorious, I will give you a messenger, Jinghai Division lacks an order, you will be reluctant to make it difficult, and take it first." Lord Song sent a few henchmen to follow you, and I will send you another team of cavalry, you must gather most of the rout troops to the west of Hecheng before it gets dark. He also said earnestly, "The eventful autumn needs to be re-enacted, and if the defeated soldiers dare to disobey their orders, they will be punished as chaotic soldiers, beheaded on the spot, and there will be no mercy ......" instructed Zhao Bao beside him, "You go to order a cavalry, and you must obey the arrangements of the king's officials all the way......"

The order officials are a kind of clerk and clerk, and the status is lower than that of the warden.

The Jinghai Metropolitan Supervisor is the yamen of the Zhengliupin, but except for Lin Lian, who is also the chief official of the Zhengliupin, the other subordinates are all officials, and there is no subordinate official, which is worse than the Hecheng Division's two subordinate officials under Song Xiaobo, the Zhengqipin Metropolitan Supervisor, and the Zhengjiupincang Ambassador.

Lin Mengde and the others don't mind this kind of superficial thing, the warden is the pawn, and there is nothing inconvenient about doing things.

Zhao Bao is Zhao Hu's younger brother, and the three brothers, plus the younger brother Zhao Mengxiong, are all embryos of martial arts. Zhao Bao is only eighteen years old this year, and he can lift four or five hundred pounds of heavy objects, and his two arms are terrifyingly strong. Lin Jian originally arranged a dark stake on the body of the Seventh Lady to protect her, and usually only acted as an ordinary banker, and also taught Zhao Bao to learn riding and archery. Zhao Bao studied for two years, polished his rough fists and feet, practiced a good skill, became a naturalized person in the township camp, and followed his mother to protect the seventh lady on weekdays.

After Gu Yingsleeve went to Chongzhou with a group of orphans and widows, more than 200 private soldiers of the Lin family stayed in Jiangning to listen to Lin Xulu's dispatch, and Zhao Bao followed him to Chongzhou to serve in the guard camp and exercise with Lin Lian.

The forces of the cavalry battalion and the Chongzhou infantry battalion could no longer be dispersed, and Lin Jian could only draw people from the guard battalion to follow Wang Chengfu to collect the rout.

Zhao Bao listened to Lin Bin's order, took the letter talisman, and quickly went to the barracks on the southeast slope to order the cavalry of the Qi Yidu team, and Wang Chengfu, who took the letter of Song Xiaobo's order, rushed to the north of Chongzhou to collect the rout.

Song Xiaobo abandoned the city and fled first, and there was no prestige in the Hecheng garrison, but Lin Jian could only use Song Xiaobo's name to collect the rout at this time, worried that the rout would not obey the order, and gave Wang Chengfu the additional authority to kill the rebels.

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

In addition to gathering as many troops as possible, the Koto Left Army must also make adjustments.

Lin Tie didn't like Song Xiaobo, so he asked Hu Zhicheng to transfer a few carts and twenty township soldiers to him, under the pretext of letting him go to Jiuhua to bring his family here to settle down, and drive him away from his eyes and nose. However, in Chongzhou's defense affairs, Lin Jian would not hide Wu Meijiu, who was the magistrate of the county, and also invited Gu Siyuan, Zhao Shuhan and others to stay and participate in the defense together.

"The coastal waters east of Chongzhou and Gaocheng are all shallow water," Lin Jian hung the map of Hailing Mansion on the wall that he had spent a lot of effort making, and he couldn't find a more accurate and detailed map than this, and even marked the tide lines along the coast on the map, "Donghai Kou chose to invade the coast, and it was also purposeful to use the shallow water and shallow terrain of these offshore areas to restrict my large warships from entering the war." In this way, the Donghai Kou gained the advantage of having many people on the ship, and was not afraid of our boat master outflanking his back road. At this time, the Donghai Kou occupied the Hecheng military fortress, and used it as a stronghold to invade the Huainan Salt Farm in the north, and even attack Qingjiangpu and Huaikou as far away, so we no longer need to worry that the Donghai Kou will rashly invade the estuary. The Jiangdong Left Army will make two adjustments: First, the main force of the boat division will assemble in the direction of Jiangmen Island, and the main force of the infantry and cavalry will assemble in the west of Hecheng, and the above deployment must be completed before dark. The Chongzhou side must complete the assembly of the village warriors and civilian ships within three days to reserve combat strength. If the Kou soldiers force their way into the mouth of the river, they will have to use any ships that can be mobilized. Whoever dares to obstruct this matter will not be punished by wartime military law. Lord Wu, I will ride to Hecheng at noon, and you will have to take more responsibility for this matter. ”

The clouds of war have shrouded the sky of Chongzhou, listening to Lin Tie's deployment, directly threatening the Hecheng military fortress with foot cavalry, making a momentum of attacking the city and seizing the wall, and the boat division can go out to sea from Jiangmen Island at any time to outflank its rear road, Wu Meijiu secretly thought that the Jiangdong Left Army was really going to fight with the Donghai Kou controlled by the luxury family.
