Chapter 60: Unfathomable

It's summer now, but fortunately, I walk by the river, facing the gentle river breeze, but I don't feel particularly hot.

Deng Yu rode his horse and accompanied the carriage, looked at the direction of the boundary monument, there was already a group of cavalry waiting there, grabbed the reins, and said to Yue Lengqiu, who was sitting in the carriage: "Chongguo Gong's heart is unpredictable, does Yue Governor really want to go to Yuzhang alone?" ”

"It's enough to have Yue An and Yue Zhou take care of my daily life," Yue Lengqiu's hesitation on his face at this time was gone, and he went to Pengze County, and hesitation was not his style, and Deng Yu said, "Chongguo Gong's heart is unpredictable, but his strength is not so narrow that I will die on the way, you are in Chizhou and relax......"

Deng Yu was still relieved in his heart: Lin Jian naturally would not kill Yue Du openly, but he had just recovered Jiangxi, and the rebels and bandits in eastern Gandong were dense and had not been completely cleared.

Seeing that Deng Yu was going to persuade him again, Yue Lengqiu intercepted his words and said: "If you go to Yuzhang, you will go to Yuzhang in one or two months at the earliest, or in March or May at the latest, or return to Chizhou, or return to Jiangning, you will know; You can't afford to neglect your military equipment when you are in Chizhou, and with you here, my heart will be at ease. "I have been fighting in the turbid world for half my life, what is the most important, no one can see it more thoroughly than Yue Lengqiu.

Yue Zhi was speechless, and only said to his family members Yue An and Yue Zhou: "Uncle likes to study all night, you have to persuade him to ...... more" When they separated, other words were choked in their hearts and couldn't be spoken.

Yue Lengqiu's departure is not only about his personal name and future, but also about whether it is a smooth road or a dead end in front of the Yue family.

After the Shangrao War, it was natural for the main force of the Huaidong Army to enter Jiangzhou, but at the same time, it also increased the garrison in Yijiang, and at the same time, the third water battalion of Jinghai also carried out a complete blockade of the river area from Yijiang to Jiangzhou, and Chizhou was caught in the middle - on the surface, Lin Tie did not have a clear statement on the defeat of Zongyang, but in fact, no one dared to be sure that Lin Tie did not hide a fierce killing motive behind such a deployment.

Yue An is the old man next to Yue Lengqiu, who accompanied him in his early years, and traveled to the world with Yue Lengqiu. Yue Zhou is a son of a family, he has a diligent leg and feet, and it is also convenient to take care of Yue Lengqiu's daily life on the way - Yue Lengqiu insisted on not bringing soldiers, and if he was guilty of Jing Petition, he should have a guilty appearance for the world to see, so he asked the two of them to accompany him to Yuzhang.

After a long time, he finally walked to the boundary monument.

Tanma also galloped back and reported: "Yu Wencheng, the commander of the third town division of the Changshan Army, led a team to greet Governor Yue at the boundary monument. ”

Lin Jian and Fu Qinghe, Gao Zongting and others were in Yuzhang, and Ao Canghai was temporarily headed by Jiangzhou, and Ge Cunxin also led the third water camp to settle in Jiangzhou. On the basis of the advance army of eastern Jiangxi, Lin Tie attracted the strength of the Jiangxi Resistance Army and established the Third Town Division of the Changshan Army, with Yu Wencheng as the commander. For the time being, Yu Wencheng also took charge of the defense east of Hukou and knew Peng Ze.

Huaidong asked Yu Wencheng to go to the county border to welcome Yue Lengqiu into Jiangxi, and it was difficult for outsiders to say no in terms of etiquette.

Yue Lengqiu heard Ma Yu's report, and asked Deng Yu sideways: "Ziyu, what do you say the next deployment of the Huaidong Army will be?" ”

Now the outside world cannot guess Lin Lian's arrangements for Jiangxi's defense.

From the current point of view, the three town divisions of the Changshan Army, Zhang Gou's division went south through Fuzhou, and attacked the remnants of the luxury family guarding northern Fujian with Zhao Qingshan's division in eastern Fujian; Zhang Jiheng's department was stationed in Yuzhang with Lin Bin; The newly formed Yu Wencheng Department was temporarily responsible for the defense of Jiangzhou.

At this time, the three town divisions of the Chongcheng Army, except for the Chen Yan Division, which suffered heavy casualties in the Shangrao Battle and temporarily moved to Ganzhou for recuperation, Tang Fuguan and Liu Zhenzhi's troops all entered Duchang and other cities on the east bank of Poyang Lake for a temporary stay.

The two main infantry battalions of the Huaidong Army are currently concentrated in Jiangxi, with a total of 90,000 troops, but they are scattered everywhere, as if they are scattered everywhere, which makes people wonder through.

Deng Yu looked up at the sky and said: "I thought that the Chongguo Guild would transfer the main force of the Chongcheng Army to Yuzhang for rest, but I didn't expect that he would only lead one town into Yuzhang - what deployment will Chongguo Gong have in Jiangxi, which is incomprehensible?" ”

"Maybe Chongguo Gong wants to show his sincerity to Huang Binghao for peace talks." Yue Zhi said.

"Sincerity?" Yue Lengqiu shook his head and said, "The greatest sincerity is to gather troops under Yuanzhou City, and ask Huang Binghao to bow his head and admit it-maybe Chongguo Gong is still worried that the Cao family will not be able to survive the Autumn Queen, right?" ”

"Jiangning and Jinghu are all looking forward to the Huaidong Army immediately crossing the river to pursue the luxury family," Deng Yu said, "Maybe Tang Fuguan and Liu Zhenzhi's troops will take a short rest in Duchang and then cross the river into Huangmei!" ”

"It's not very likely," Yue Lengqiu shook his head and said, "The luxury family fled north across the river, and it was clear that they wanted to vote for Yanhu; If the luxury family is attached to Yanhu, the entire western front will change dramatically. Now, Luo Xiancheng Mingli did not make enemies with Huaidong and Huaixi, but gave up the Hanshui channel west of Suizhou. If the main force of Huaidong soldiers and horses crossed the river to pursue the luxury family, the remnants of the luxury family would march north along the east bank of the Han River and storm Nanyang. If Luo Xiancheng did not eliminate this threat, would the Huaidong Army dare to risk the flank attack and chase down the narrow passage on the east bank of the Han River? ”

"Also, maybe the luxury family is not destroyed and the flank threat is not eliminated, and the main force of the Huaidong Army may collide head-on with the main force of the Yanhu cavalry," Deng Yu sighed, "Instead of crossing the river in a hurry, it is better to stabilize the position in Jiangzhou first, the dog of the luxury family is not easy to fight!" ”

Speaking of this, Yue Lengqiu, Yue Zhi and the others all looked bitter.

The luxury family is a trapped beast, and the situation in Jinghu is very complicated, and the main force of the Huaidong Army hurriedly crossed the river to the north, which may not be advantageous and may not be able to accurately grasp the fighters.

The key Cao family's choice to stay in Guanzhong is the biggest variable - if the Huaidong army crosses the river to pursue the luxury family, the Cao family fails to hold it in Guanzhong, and the Yanhu cavalry gets a passage from the pass to quickly go south on the western front, and the Huaidong army will be extremely passive.

No one could guess what kind of calculation Lin Jian had in his heart, but with his own people, Deng Yue thought that the best choice for the Huaidong Army at present was to gather troops in Jiangzhou and stabilize Jiangzhou's position first.

Jiangzhou is the northern gateway of Jiangxi, and heavy troops are stationed in Jiangzhou, which is conducive to the stability of Jiangxi's situation.

As long as the Huaidong Army has a firm foothold in Jiangzhou, even if the situation in Jinghu collapses and the Yanhu cavalry moves south, it will stop at Jinghu and will not spread to the south or east in a short time.

The Huaidong Army held Jiangzhou, which could also win more time for Huaidong to integrate the resources of Jiangnan.

As long as Huaidong fully integrates the resources of the south of the Yangtze River, even if Yanhu is asked to occupy Guanshan and Jinghu one after another, at least it will be able to fight against each other, and the situation is not too bad.

Speculating on Lin Tie with the worst mind, Lin Tie should be even more so.

Yan Hu broke through from the western front, and the greatest pressure was on Jinghu Hu Wenmu and Huaixi, who was attacked by Yan Hu on both the flanks and fronts - once the power of Jinghu and Huaixi was completely weakened, who else in the world could stop Lin from taking the Yuan clan's world?

Of course, if Lin Jian is deployed like this, it will be the most unfavorable to Chizhou.

If Lin Jian wants to stabilize his position in Jiangzhou, he will inevitably transfer the Tang Fuguan Department and Liu Zhenzhi's Department, which are temporarily stopped in Duchang, to quickly fill in Jiangzhou.

With the addition of the newly organized Yu Wencheng Division, Huaidong will gather three infantry divisions in Jiangzhou, and then add the main force of the Jinghai Third Water Battalion, and the total strength will reach more than 70,000 people - by this time, the Chizhou army will also be completely marginalized.

Once the Chizhou Army is marginalized, it will not be far from being dismantled; If Yue Lengqiu wants to retain the establishment of the Chizhou Army, it will be extremely difficult.

Thinking of this, Deng Yu, Yue Zhi and others all felt that the future of the Chizhou Army was worrying.

Surrounded by 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Huaidong Army, Lin Jian still holds the righteousness of the imperial court, and the marginalized Chizhou Army does not even have room to struggle.

Yue Lengqiu squinted at a group of cavalry galloping from the boundary monument, saw Deng Yu and Yue Zhi frowning, and said: "At present, the commander of the Chongcheng Army is Zhou Tong, and the commander of the Changshan Army is Ao Canghai, and it is impossible for Lin Tie to ask Zhou Tong and Ao Canghai to stay in Jiangzhou, so the next deployment of the Huaidong Army may still have big changes, not necessarily as we guessed...... It's just that this change can't be fathomed by outsiders. Yue Lengqiu smiled bitterly.

In addition to the water army, the Huaidong Army has five major generals, one is Liu Miaozhen, who guards Xuzhou; The first is Ning Zechen, guarding Shanyang; One is Zhao Hu, who mastered the Jiangning Forbidden Camp Army; In addition, it is Zhou Tong and Ao Canghai.

Lin Jian will not have the luxury of putting Zhou Tong and Ao Canghai in Jiangzhou.

At present, Ao Canghai is in Jiangzhou, thinking that Jiangzhou is garrisoned, presiding over Jiangzhou's military and political affairs, and Ge Cunxin leads the water battalion as his deputy. Zhou Tong led Tang Fuguan and Liu Zhenzhi to rest in Duchang, and perhaps Zhou Tong's next appointment will determine the direction of the deployment and adjustment of the Huaidong Army.

"Will the Chongguo Guild agree to ask Zhou Tong to go to Luzhou to replace Cao Ziang?" Deng Yu asked.

"I hope so." Yue Lengqiu sighed.

Once Jinghu collapses, the two wings of Huaixi will be hit, and the pressure will be the greatest, and Dong Yuan may not be able to support it. If Lin Jian wants to guard against Dong Yuan's inability to hold on, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of Luzhou. In fact, the Privy Council has invested a lot of resources in Luzhou for more than a year, and in addition to the third brigade of the cavalry battalion organized and trained by the general Sun Zhuang in Luzhou, the scale of the army has also increased dramatically.

From here, it can be seen that Lin Jian attaches great importance to Luzhou and his defense against Dongyuan in Huaixi.

Zhou Tong led his troops to move to Luzhou, which would further consolidate the defensive line on the periphery of Jiangning, but at the same time, it would greatly reduce the garrison on the Jiangzhou side. On the side of Jiangzhou, the Huaidong Army can only defend the river, and it no longer has an advantage in strength against Jinghu on the north bank.

If the Chizhou army goes north, it can still play the role of containing the luxury family from the flank and Luo Xiancheng to aid Jinghu.

As long as the Chizhou Army can still play a role in defense, it will escape the fate of being categorically removed from Lin Bin.

This is the result that Yue Lengqiu wants to see the most, and it is also the result of Yue Lengqiu's efforts to see Lin Tie this time, and it is also the most likely choice to save the Chizhou Army at present; Or persuade Lin Jian to fight Huang Binghao, and ask Huaidong's troops to contain Yuanzhou.

While thinking about it, soon the cavalry greeted by Huaidong was clearly looking, Yu Wencheng drove his horse to greet him, dismounted and saluted: "General Canghai and General Cunxin have military affairs in Jiangzhou, and they can't come from afar to greet them, and the last general Yu Wencheng apologized in front of Yue Xiang......"
