(Ask for a red ticket)

The water is turbulent and rushing eastward, and shallow clouds with fish scales float above the blue sky.

After the pouring rain, the quiet blue of the sky, and the news of the defeat of the Duhuai army, overwhelmed people.

Shanyang County and Feixia Rock face each other, less than 12 or 3 miles apart, under the clear sky overlooking the past, you can see the Feixia Rock head step ride mixed killing, foot soldiers to ride to kill the situation without resistance.

Some people fled back by boat, but the news brought back was too fragmentary, and what can be confirmed is that the rear wing of the Duhuai army was wiped out, Ma Fu and Ma Rulong were killed, and Liu Tingzhou, Xiao Kui'an, Teng Xingyuan, Tao Chun and others were uncertain about their lives and deaths, but they were also fierce and lucky.

Shanyang and Huai'an are forty miles apart, Shanyang fried the pot, Huai'an City also blew up the pot later, the army of more than 14,000 people, and there are Shanyang County elite soldiers to cross Huai'an is likely to be wiped out, for anyone, is not an easy to bear the news.

Huai'an City has Zhang Yubo and Liang Wenzhan in charge, and at this time it is Liu Tao who is in charge of Shanyang County, and the defenders have just transferred a thousand government troops from Huai'an City.

Liu Tingzhou not only incorporated the elite soldiers of Shanyang County into the Huai Army, but also transferred more than 2,000 government troops from Huai'an City, and now Huai'an and Shanyang are separated from the bandits, but the total strength is less than 4,000 people.

Huai'an City Mansion Yaxi Yafang, Huai'an Zhi County Liang Wenzhan and Huai'an Prefecture Soldiers and Horses, Hu Cao, Gong Cao, Fu Xue, Huai'an County Cheng, County Lieutenant, Jiaoyu and other officials all gathered together, gathered around the general judge Zhang Yubo and waited for him to make an idea.

Lin Jian and Liu Tingzhou both crossed Huai to lead the troops, and Huai'an City was headed by Zhang Yubo.

"Lord Zhang, please hurry up and report to the envoy, hoping that the envoy can lead the troops into Siyang in time and rescue Lord Liu......"

"The rear wings are all rounded, Lord Liu is really nine deaths, the control of the soldiers and horses is insufficient, and he has to guard Shukou, and then he is easy to move, there are three long and two short, who will guard Huai'an?"

Without waiting for Zhang Yubo and Liang Wen to speak, the officials below first quarreled into two factions, one was to hope that Lin Tie would lead his troops to save Liu Tingzhou, and the other was to keep Huai'an regardless of whether Liu Tingzhou lived or died.

It is said that the defeat is like a mountain, but they did not expect that Liu Tingzhou's Duhuai army would be defeated so quickly, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they collapsed almost all at once. Zhang Yubo still admires Liu Tingzhou's style of sacrificing his life and forgetting death for the imperial court, if there are still remnants of the Duhuai army in Siyang that are not eliminated, he supports Lin Tie to raise troops into Siyang to rescue Liu Tingzhou, and it is better to do it sooner rather than later.

Zhang Yubo pressed his hand on the table, stopped everyone's quarrel, and said: "If you have any opinions, I will send a fast rider to inform the envoy, but what to decide, presumably the envoy has his own opinions, so we don't have to worry about it......"

"When the envoy sends a reply from Shukou, it will be almost after dark, why don't you ask Mr. Sun to come over and discuss it together?" Liang Wenzhan said.

Zhang Yubo didn't suspect that Liang Wenzhan suddenly invited Sun Jingtang to come over, and Sun Jingtang was still sentenced to exile, but he was actually Lin Binding's right-hand man in Huai'an City, Zhang Yubo naturally did not shy away from looking for Sun Jingtang, but he didn't expect it for a while just now, and when he saw Liang Wenzhan mention it, he nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”

You have to know that the Duhuai army was defeated in Feixiaji, Sun Jingtang entered the city and met Liang Wencheng first, and at this time he was in the Duting Station, only more than 100 steps away from the government, and he was invited over in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the Huai'an people were out of proportion, perhaps because the commander of the male army was on the near side, so they pinned all their hopes on the Jiangdong Left Army, but they were sluggish and couldn't think of saving themselves.

Sun Jingtang came over and saluted Zhang Yubo, Liang Wenzhan and others. Zhang Yubo respected his identity, asked him to sit opposite Liang Wenzhan, and said: "The north bank is newly defeated, and the people of Huai'an are panicking, and they have sent flying horses to cross Huai to report to the envoy, but when the envoy comes back, I am afraid that it will be after dark, please Mr. Sun come over and discuss the idea first......

Sun Jingtang said: "Feixiaji is defeated, Shuiying should be the first to send a message to Shukou, the system will make the letter not later than here, do not control what decision to make in Shukou, Huai'an and Shanyang have some things that can be done first......"

"Mr. Sun, please." Zhang Yubo said.

"Transferring a battalion of government troops from each of the three southern counties to strengthen the defense of Huai'an City, regardless of whether the envoy returns to defend Huainan or crosses Huai to receive aid from Liu Zhifu, the water camp must be used, and our side cannot expect the water camp to assist in guarding Huai at all times," Sun Jingtang said, "Feixiaji was lost, not only a large amount of grain and grass supplies were taken away by the bandits, but also a considerable number of civilian ships fell into the hands of the enemy, and the bandits were able to organize tens of thousands of people to cross the Huai River in a short period of time, and we could not afford not to guard against it." The Jiangdong Left Army had 2,000 auxiliary soldiers of the Gongjia Battalion in the north beach of Qingjiangpu, which was originally used to build embankments and reclaim wasteland......

Liang Wenzhan said: "Mr. Sun is not familiar with the situation in Shanyang County, I will go to Shanyang with him, and the safety of Huai'an City will be handed over to you, Lord Zhang?" ”

Huai'an County is the first county of Huai'an Prefecture, and Liang Wenzhan's rank is one level higher than that of ordinary counties.

Now Teng Xingyuan, the magistrate of Shanyang, is uncertain about his life and death on the north shore, and Shanyang is only presided over by Liu Tao, the county magistrate. Zhang Yubo is also not familiar with Liu Tao, I don't know if he has the ability to preside over the overall situation, if the exile army crosses the Huai, Shanyang will bear the brunt, thinking that it is best for Liang Wenzhan to go to Shanyang. The Jiangdong Left Army is the best soldier in the world, and although the Workers' Battalion is an auxiliary army, it should be able to reach the three battalions of the government army if it is organized.

Liang Wenbo immediately signed the letter of order, and Sun Jingtang got up and returned to Qingjiangpu in the south of the city to prepare.

By the afternoon, when the workers' camp was about to leave from the south of the city, Lin Jian sent a letter of order from Shukou back to Huai'an.

Lin Bin's order was not much different from Sun Jingtang's suggestion, and the biggest difference was that Lin Jian directly ordered Liang Wenzhan to temporarily take over the post of Shanyang Governor and take charge of Shanyang's military and political affairs.

Lin Bin's Jingkou envoy was sent on a temporary basis, and he had no authority to appoint personnel, not to mention that the officials at the county level were elected officials in Beijing. However, the matter came out of power, and Huai'an Mansion was in a panic, and no one jumped out at this time to question the legitimacy and reasonableness of Lin Bin's letter. As for whether it will be recognized by the imperial court afterwards, that's another story, let's get over the current difficulties first.

Besides, Huai'an County is the first county, Shanyang County is just an ordinary county, Liang Wenzhan does not respect Huai'an County, and if he grabs the seat of Shanyang County, others will not believe it, just when all this is a temporary arrangement.

In fact, in terms of the entire Huaisi terrain, the location of Shanyang County is more important than Huai'an City. In addition, Ma Fu and Ma Rulong died in battle, and most of the foundation of the Ma family is in Shanyang County.

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

Lin Jian didn't expect that the Changhuai army would be defeated so quickly, and he received a direct message from Shuiying from Shanyang, and it was also noon.

The terrain of Siyang has been completely controlled by the Wandering Army, except for some bits and pieces of information from the mouths of the soldiers who have fled, it is too late to send spies to infiltrate Siyang to confirm whether the main force of the Duhuai Army has been completely annihilated.

Further information will not be available until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

Lin Jian didn't have so much time to wait, Chen Hansan, who was more than twenty miles away to the north, would get the exact news before this side, Chen Hansan and Sun Zhuang's troops had more than 15,000 soldiers and horses in the narrow bridge, and their movements had a direct impact on this side.

In the command shed, the Huaisi terrain was spread on the big wooden table, Lin Tie his hands supported the table, and Qin Chengzu, Zhou Pu, Ning Zechen, Zhao Hu and others surrounded to study the current situation.

From the fragmentary news, Lin Jian and the others had already speculated that before the rear wing of the Duhuai Army was completely destroyed, the development form of the enemy and us in Siyang could also speculate some things.

"The cavalry in the Suyu and Siyang areas has no cavalry, and the cavalry that annihilated the rear wing is the department of Sun Zhuang, the vanguard of the Liumin Army," Qin Chengzu pointed to the Feixiaji area and analyzed, "Sun Zhuang's cavalry was delayed for at least half an hour in order to kill the rear wing and capture Feixiaji, and there was no chance to trample on the flank of the headquarters of the Huai Army." This can be said to be quite lucky, Tao Chun sneaked into Siyang a few days earlier, he will not do nothing, if Liu Tingzhou and Xiao Kuian are smart, there should still be an elite to survive, and the exile army in Siyang. But they want to escape, so they can only wait for us to come and get help......"

"Ma Fu and Ma Rulong really deserve to die, if they don't die and escape back, I won't let them go!" Lin Jian said hatefully.

Lin Jian didn't say that they weren't because Ma Fu and Ma Rulong were dead. The Duhuai army attacked the camp of the Wandering People's Army and set up a fish scale formation, with a weak point behind the tail, but leaving the elite of the Ma family's private soldiers in the rear actually made up for the lack of the fish scale array to a considerable extent, which was probably not expected by Ma Lantou, the commander of the Wandering Army in Siyang.

It is true that the main camp of the Wandering People's Army in the north of Feixiaji is a trap, but whether the trap can trap people or not depends on the strength.

If Ma Fu and Ma Rulong had some courage and led more than 1,000 elites to get stuck in front of the north ridge of Feixiaji, since they could protect Feixiaji from being taken by the wandering army, they could also protect the rear flank of the Duhuai army's main formation, and the situation would not be so sinister.

Who would have thought that they would be so stupid as to turn around and flee to Feixiaji, turning their backs to the cavalry of the Wandering Army to cover up?

It's true that more people die of stupidity.

Lin Jian stared at the map for a while before he made a resolute decision and said to Zhao Hu, "I'll leave it to you here." In addition to defending the Shukou camp, I also want you to lead the infantry into Chen Hansan's narrow bridge camp to cover the whereabouts of my main force. You must at least hold out until dark when you enter the camp with a narrow bridge, and then you can withdraw to the camp to hold on! Are you sure you can do it? ”

"Yes!" Zhao Hu said decisively.

"Okay," Lin Jian said, and turned his head to look at Zhou Pu again, "You first lead the light armored cavalry to cooperate with the new guards of the guard battalion to drive all the scouts on the periphery of the Narrow Bridge camp back to the nest, and Mr. Qin and I will lead the phoenix to leave the camp and the heavy cavalry first, and then you will rush to the designated place to meet after dark!" ”

"No water camp?" Zhou Pu asked.

"The development of the situation is a little different from what we predicted before, the Changshan camp will not arrive in Huai'an a day or two late, and the water camp will move, and it will also move with the Changshan camp!" Lin Jian said.

Qin Chengzu said: "The water camp is active on the Huai River, which can confuse the Liumin army, and I also think that the water camp will not be transferred for the time being!" Four thousand elite soldiers are enough to break the enemy camp! We will kill Chen Hansan this time, it is an opportunistic goods. In addition, the South Bank can also take the opportunity to make some arrangements. ”

Lin Jian nodded and said, "Indeed! ”
