Zuo Guangying, Zhang Jiheng combined troops to surround Wuyun, in addition to the north and south banks of Wuyun, Tianshui two villages, Jiangkou and Zhangdu Village are located on Jiangxin Island.

Due to the limited number of troops sent by the Hao family to Zhangdu, the defenders were mainly local village warriors, approached by the warships of the Huaidong naval army, symbolically resisted slightly, and chose to surrender at dusk on the 18th.

The warm spring sunset spreads on the surface of the Yongjia River, shining with golden light.

In the late spring season, dozens of water ghosts who are proficient in water are shirtless, like loaches, drilling in and out of the river waves. If the river barriers are not removed, the warships cannot sail in, so they can only use people to find out the location of the obstacles when they dive into the river, tie the ropes to the sunken ships and hidden piles, or use sailboats or mules and oxen to drag them downstream to clear out the Beiqi waterway one by one.

Although the weather is not cold, it can be carried out day and night, but if you want to let the Jiyun-class warships smoothly enter the Yongjia River waterway, it will take three to five days to clean the riverway.

In addition, although the water battalion strength of the Zhejiang-Fujian army in the Yongjia River is very weak, as long as the Huaidong water army cannot enter, it will always be a threat to those who are in the way of entering the water.

Lin Jian stood on the south wall of Tianshui Village, looking at the distance of Jiangtian.

The frequency of the war is getting faster and faster, the camphor has fallen, and Lin Jian plans to open the Yongjia River waterway between the 22nd, so that the southern Zhejiang army will attack Wuyun; At the same time, the naval warships marched along the west of the river and captured the Ouhai Sea......

After the capture of Ouhai, how will the war in southern Zhejiang develop next?

It is impossible for the luxury family to continue to tolerate Huaidong's rampaging in southern Zhejiang without fighting back at all.

Lin Jian frowned and thought about it, but he didn't notice that Chen Dingbang hurriedly climbed the wall at this time.

"Adult ......"

Lin Lian came back to his senses, looked at Chen Dingbang's expression, and asked, "What's the good thing?" ”

"It's not a good thing," Chen Dingbang replied, "Just now there was a report from the sentinel on the western front, the defenders of Ouhai are crossing the river and retreating north, and it is estimated that before we open the waterway of the Yongjia River, they will all withdraw from Ouhai......"

"Slip up and ...... quickly," Zhou Tong sighed.

"You can't blame them for slipping away fast, and if they don't leave, when the Huaidong warship enters the Yongjia River, they won't ......be able to leave if they want to," Hu Zhiyong said with a smile.

Since the opening of the battlefield in southern Zhejiang, there have been continuous sieges and villages, but they are all small cities and small villages.

Although this time it will allow the defenders of Ouhai to withdraw calmly, Ouhai is a big city with a larger scale than Yongjia County, and it is an exciting thing to be able to take it without a fight.

"The south bank should immediately give up the pressure on Wuyun Village, transfer an elite army to the west, and be ready to seize Ouhai at any time, and prevent the Zhejiang and Fujian army from setting fire to the city......" Lin Jian frowned slightly, the withdrawal of the luxury family from Ouhai was expected, and he was more concerned about how to fight next after occupying Ouhai......

Gao Zongting put his hands behind his back, glanced at the Youyou River under the wall, and said: "After taking Ouhai, it seems that the initiative of the battlefield in southern Zhejiang is still in the hands of Huaidong, but in fact, the situation has changed. Taking Ouhai, Yongjia and Qingtian in the east, Hengyang, Pingyang, and Cangnan counties in the south, and Huipu, Wenling, and Linhai counties in the north of Yueqing Bay are all within our attack range. Yongjia River or Nanxi River goes upstream, the beach is dangerous and rapid, whether it is Qingtian or Yongjia, it is suddenly difficult to attack; Hengyang, Pingyang, Cangnan, located at the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian, and further south is Xiapu County, which belongs to Jin'an Prefecture. Presumably, no matter how stretched the luxury family is, they will not tolerate Huaidong's threat to northern Fujian from the land......"

Cangnan County, the southernmost side of Yongjia Mansion, is the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian, and the watershed pass on the southern border of the county is the most important eastern passage between Zhejiang and Fujian, in addition to the Xianxia Pass on the western line, and it is also the only land passage on the eastern route. Between Xianxia Pass and Dividing Water Pass, not to mention the lofty mountains and mountains, it is still the residential area of the Barbarian Yue people.

Although the luxury family is quite passive on the Eastern Front, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention that the luxury family is far from being thin at the moment. At this time, the luxury family will not easily give up the water dividing pass, give up Cangnan, and give up the eastern passage from northern Fujian to southern Zhejiang.

Huaidong wants to pocket the three counties of Hengyang (now Ruian), Pingyang, and Cangnan, and it is difficult to avoid a general battle with the luxury family between Xiapu and Cangnan to decide the winner.

Huaidong's total strength in southern Zhejiang, plus the raids on the coastal areas of eastern Fujian, was only more than 30,000 people.

Lin Jian looked at Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong thought for a moment, and said: "I thought that Huaidong would quickly capture Hengyang, even if the luxury family sent elites from northern Fujian into southern Zhejiang, in the south of Hengyang, there is still Feiyun River that can block the soldiers and horses drawn from northern Fujian by the luxury family for us - as long as we hold the Feiyun River and Hengyang, we can calmly capture Pu, Wenling, Linhai, Tiantai and other places on the northern front, and connect eastern and southern Zhejiang!" At that time, unless the luxury family transfers troops from western Zhejiang on a large scale, they can only withdraw from southern Zhejiang......"

Although it is far less magnificent than the Yangtze River, the Qianjiang River and the Yellow River, the Feiyun River is still a deep and broad river alongside the Yongjia River and the Jiaojiang River in southern Zhejiang.

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

After the eight surnames entered Fujian, Quanzhou has always been a large coastal port in eastern Fujian, and it is one of the earliest developed areas in eastern Fujian.

Under the pretext of peace and recuperation, the luxury family and the imperial court temporarily abandoned Quanzhou and were taken over by officials sent by the imperial court, and then the luxury family raised the flag of rebellion again, and Song Fu led the army into Quanzhou first. Quanzhou has experienced many military disasters, but the time is very short, and it is not serious.

Retreat Garden is the residence of Yongtai Bo Song floating into Quanzhou, Song Fu likes the style of the south of the Yangtze River, makes people transform the retreat garden more, now the retreat garden has the divine essence of the water show in the south of the Yangtze River, repairs the bamboo strange stone, the shallow pond bank willow, and exudes the green in the late spring season.

Song Bo followed the sound into the West Garden, and saw his father playing chess with the Go master for fun, the Go master stood up and saluted Song Bo and said, "I've seen the young gentleman ......" and bowed to Song Fu, and then left with the two beautiful maids who were standing on Song Fu's side.

When people leave, the fragrance in the pavilion is still there.

"Father......" Song Bo opened his mouth to speak.

Song Fu waved his hand, interrupted Song Bo's words, and pushed the sandalwood box containing the chess pieces forward, signaling him to accompany him to finish the game of chess.

Song Bo didn't have the heart to play chess, he looked at the chessboard and responded casually. Song Fu picked up the chess piece he had fallen and said, "You should be here, this big dragon in the heart of the belly is about to be cut off for me, I can't ...... in a hurry."

"Huaidong is like a broken bamboo in southern Zhejiang, the eastern front is in danger, if Zhejiang and Fujian draw troops from the western front, the western front will inevitably turn from offensive to defensive, and fall into passivity," Song Bo said eagerly, "Everyone else is as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but they are in a hurry when they come to my father's side, but they are in a hurry?" ”

"Your chess piece should fall here, give the big dragon in the heart of the heart a hand," Song Fu slowly and methodically directly helped Song Bo drop the chess piece where it should fall, and said, "You said that others are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and the Metropolitan Governor is more patient than you think." ”

"Doesn't my father think there is still a chance on the Eastern Front?" Song Bo asked a little impatiently.

Song Fu put down the chess pieces, raised his head and glanced at his eldest son, and said, "Li Zhuo occupied all the Jian'an Mansion back then, and the Metropolitan Governor and the other seven families did not slack off. Although the current situation on the Eastern Front is very passive, it is still very different from the situation five or six years ago. Five or six years ago, most people in Jin'an did not lose confidence, could it be that they easily admit defeat at this time......

"Is this what my father really thinks in his heart?" Song Bo asked.

"If Huaidong hadn't attacked Mingzhou in March, the army of western Zhejiang led by Luxury Feixiong would have gone north from Fuyang, swept through Wuyue's hometown, and reached the city of Jiangning - really to that point, not to mention that the troops from Jianghuai would go north to King Qin, and even the so-called Hehuai defense line would collapse under the impact of Yanhu cavalry. Without Huaidong, maybe the general trend of the north and south with Jianghuai as the division will be roughly formed," Song Fu threw the chess pieces in his hand on the catalpa chessboard, leaned back, sat cross-legged on the soft couch, and said, "The situation can develop to this point, I have to admit that Huaidong is an outlier...... But it's not enough! ”

"The Zhejiang-Fujian army swept through the two Zhejiang, and the clan tail was attached to it, and the benefits of attacking the city and plundering the land fell into its hands. Although the children of the clan were favored and used their lives, at this time, the Governor's Mansion sent more than 200,000 troops from all over the country, and the children of the clan were less than eleven, and eight or nine out of ten were harmed by the withering of the people's livelihood. Looking at the battles in southern Zhejiang, Huaidong soldiers and horses rely on Yueqing, attack in the south and attack in the north, attack more than a dozen walled cities in a row in more than a month, and there are hard battles and hard battles in almost ten months, but the rest of the month, Huaidong's generals in southern Zhejiang are not tired, and the momentum is getting stronger and stronger - this is not enough? ”

Song Fu closed his eyes, frowned, revealing deep wrinkles, and said, "It's not like my father didn't see what you said. Zhejiang, Fujian and Huaidong must have a battle, otherwise it is impossible to easily distinguish the winner and loser. However, the Metropolitan Governor is a very patient person, procrastinating not to fight this battle, if Huaidong rushes forward, it will only invite a quick defeat - just look at the situation on the eastern front, time drags on, which is beneficial to Huaidong and not beneficial to Zhejiang and Fujian. But if we look further, if the situation on the eastern front drags on, there may not be a turnaround for Zhejiang and Fujian......"

"Fake Yanhu's hand?" Song Bo asked, "Aren't they afraid that the Yanhu cavalry will sweep the world and destroy Zhejiang and Fujian together?" ”

"Whether a knife is easy to use or not, in addition to seeing whether the blade is sharp enough, but also whether the blade is tough enough - the Yanhu tribe is sparse, even if they can take advantage of the edge of the army to lay down a large piece of territory, but after all, they have to borrow external forces to defend it," Song Fu said, "You see that Lord Yan vigorously promoted Han Chen, and paid more and more attention to the newly attached Han army, this is the reason - the Metropolitan Governor and the other six surnames saw it very clearly, even if they had to bend their knees and bow their heads again, they would rather bow their knees to Yanhu and keep their wealth and wealth." Before the Yanhu cavalry broke through the Hehuai defense line, the Metropolitan Governor would not have put all his chips out at this time; But when the Yanhu cavalry advances to the front line of the Huai River, there will inevitably be a battle between Zhejiang, Fujian and Huaidong - you just wait and see. As for the Song family, it is far from enough before the victory or defeat is determined in that battle. ”

Song Bo somewhat understood his father's good intentions, sighed lightly, and stopped persuading anything.
