"The eldest brother has changed his past and has ambitions to achieve a career. When marrying the Du family, it was inconvenient to walk on both sides of Qingzhou and Jiangning, and he did not return to Jiangning to salute, and after getting married, he sent his pregnant newlywed wife to Jiangning to serve my father, and he was in the barracks all day. Although Qingzhou has too many deficiencies compared to Huaidong, the eldest brother is not slacking off in Qingzhou," Gu Junxun asked with teary eyes, "Qingzhou really can't be guarded?" ”

Lin Jian didn't answer, took off his coat, and got into the quilt next to Jun Xun's delicate body.

"I'm a woman, I shouldn't say this......" Gu Junxun said with a weak heart.

Lin Jian touched Jun Xun's fragrant cheeks, she was only twenty-one years old, at the prime age of youth, in the later generations it was the time to pamper and pamper, but in the current world, she was restrained by etiquette, and she had to be careful when she said a few words for her family, so that people could be pitiful and loving.

"You and I, husband and wife, what else do you have to avoid and not say?" Lin Lian took Jun Xun in his arms, let her head rest on her chest and lie on her side, she could feel the beating of her heart under her crisp chest against her ribs, and said, "I also know Si Yuan's hard work in Qingzhou, but if I stand up and support Si Yuan this time, I will actually harm him!" ”

"......" Gu Junxun put half of his body against Lin Lian's strong body, raised his head, and looked at Lin Jian in confusion.

"Jiang Ning supports the formation of the Qingzhou Legion, naturally it will not let the Qingzhou Legion shrink to the inner line, Si Yuan must at least deploy the main force to the north of Qingzhou, and even advance to the Yangxin line, so that Jiang Ning will be satisfied," Lin Jian said, "If the Liang family can hold Jinan, it is also safe for Si Yuan to lead his troops to Yangxin, the key is that I am very optimistic about the Liang family......

"Doesn't the Liang family have fifty or sixty thousand elites available?" Gu Junxun asked.

"There are soldiers and food," Lin Jian said, "Zhongzhou used to be a large county of tens of millions of Dingkou, but the war that lasted for several years was shattered, including Jinzhong and western Shandong, and there were almost no Ding households, especially local clans. Once these areas are infiltrated by the captives, even if they can be defended, they will be isolated cities...... Once Si Yuan led his troops to Yangxin, he actually gave the Liang family a chance to shrink south. ”

Gu Junxun grew up in front of Tang Haoxin's knees since she was a child, Tang Haoxin also doted on her, and rarely restrained her with female etiquette, so that she could have more contact with political affairs than ordinary women, so Lin Jian patiently explained, she could understand a little.

"Rights and obligations have always been reciprocal," Lin Jian continued, "At this time, Si Yuan was advancing and retreating in Qingzhou, and he could lead his troops to Yangxin to fight for merit; Once Yang Xin can't keep it, he can also lead his troops back, and no one will be harsh on him to keep Yang Xin. To be honest, it is not difficult to support Si Yuan to sit in the position of Qingzhou envoy, and it is not even difficult to support Lord Taishan to be equal to Yue Lengqiu in Jiangning - but in this way, Si Yuan has no way to retreat except to hold Yangxin......"

Once the Liang family shrinks to the south, and Gu Siyuan leads the hastily formed Qingzhou Army in front, what kind of danger will there be, Gu Junxun is a woman who does not understand military politics, and she can also understand one or two.

Gu Junxun knelt on Lin Xuan's chest and whispered: "I didn't think about it so much, just complain about you, I ......"

"......" Lin Lian pinched Jun Xun's nose lovingly, and said, "I will write a letter to explain the powerful relationship in it to your father and Hei Yuan." Huaidong currently does not support Si Yuan Shou Qingzhou, whether your father and Si Yuan can listen to it and what decisions they will make, it is difficult to say now. Of course, your father and Si Yuan decided to defend Qingzhou, and Huaidong couldn't stand idly by......" Speaking of this, Lin Jian sighed again and said, "If Si Yuan is still the same as before, I have nothing to worry about, and there is nothing wrong with retreating." With Lord Taishan here, the wealth of the first generation of Hei Yuan is indispensable, and I am even more worried that he will not retreat! ”

Marriage is a type of political alliance, and the interests of political alliances cannot be completely identical. Unless it eventually breaks, it is important to be consistent in the general direction.

Although the differences between them are getting bigger and bigger, just like Lin Tie was determined to take the position of Hailing prefect, and although Gu Wuchen did not agree with the final choice to support, today Gu Wuchen and Gu Siyuan are determined to defend Qingzhou, although Huaidong does not agree, he will eventually choose to support them.

Of course, even with the strong support of Huaidong, it is impossible for the two Huai salt and silver to flow completely to Qingzhou, and Gu Siyuan can account for more than one-third, which is quite optimistic.

Lin Jian stayed in Gu Junxun's room all night, and the next morning, Lin Mengde, Qin Chengzu, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Hu Zhicheng, Zhou Guangnan, Wang Chengfu and other core figures in Chongzhou were all gathered to discuss this matter.

"Huaidong's resources must ensure military expansion in eastern Zhejiang," Qin Chengzu said, "only by dragging down and crippling the luxury family, and only by ensuring the stability of the southern front, can it be possible to finally defeat the Donghu people; The second is to focus on protecting Huaisi, especially in Xuzhou, which is an unstable factor, Huaidong can't pin his hopes on being able to keep Yangxin and Qingzhou - it's best to persuade Master Gu, if he can't be convinced, Huaidong can't completely dominate the flow of salt and silver in Huaidong, and it's not the worst choice to flow into the pockets of others and use it in Qingzhou......"

Lin Jian looked at the others, and the others were also unwilling to waste Huaidong's resources Shouyangxin and Qingzhou, which is the same as the dispersion of troops, and resources should also be concentrated and used as much as possible.

As for the two Huai salt silver, Huaidong can't get it, rather than giving it to others, it is better to give it to Qingzhou, which comes from the same source.

Once Gu Siyuan can't hold on to Yangxin and Qingzhou, the remnants retreat south, which can also be used as a barrier for Huaidong on the periphery; Moreover, Qingzhou and Yangxin are also part of the Huaidong flank front.

"Did you send someone to ask Qinghe and Ziang's opinions?" Lin Mengde asked.

"Ziang and Mr. Fu's side are most likely the same opinion," Lin Jian sighed and said, "Uncle Mengde, you go to Zhao Qinmin and tell him Huaidong's opinion, don't have any reservations......"

Lin Mengde went to the post house to find Zhao Qinmin, but at this moment, the post horse galloped into Chongcheng, bringing the news that the Datong defenders had surrendered.

Lin Mengde hurriedly told Zhao Qinmin of Huaidong's opinion in the post house, and went to Dongya with Zhao Qinmin. Lin Jian was in the side hall, and he personally lay on the wall on the north side of the hall, replacing the Datong logo on the map with the vermilion color representing the Donghu people.

The map hanging on the north wall of the side hall marks the situation so clearly and so shockingly.

Datong was lost after holding out for seven months, which meant that the passage of the Donghu people from the northwest of Yanshan to the west of Hebei was completely opened, and most of the northern Jin, northern Taihang Mountains and western Hebei also fell, and Yanjing and Xuanfu in the north were completely reduced to isolated cities.

Donghu gathered nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jidong (Jingdong), as if a heavy and sharp knife hung there, cutting off the connection between Yanjing and Jinhai. In the northwest of Shanxi, more and more Yanxi Hu people went south to participate in the war, forming an active blockade circle against the Cao soldiers and horses advancing eastward.

After the loss of Datong, the Cao family also lost the motivation and support to advance eastward. Once the Cao family shrank to Guanzhong, it also meant that the eastern captives could draw more troops from the western front to attack the south of Jinnan, or enter Yannan to completely block the Liang family and Tao Chun's troops on the periphery.

Seeing Zhao Qinmin and Lin Mengde coming in, Lin Jian casually threw away the charcoal and said: "The Donghu people are fighting in eastern Hebei with the intention of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and in a short period of time, they will neither attack Jinhai nor Yanjing, but unless they can organize 100,000 elites to land from Jinhai, Yanjing can no longer save ......."

At this time, don't say that 100,000 elites are drawn from the southern line to the north, even if all the soldiers and horses of Huaidong in eastern Zhejiang are withdrawn, it is likely to lead to the complete collapse of the southern defense line, regardless of whether the emperor is in Yanjing or not, giving up Yanjing is already a pragmatic choice at present.

Zhao Qinmin and Lin Mengde were silent.

"Huaidong's opinion, Uncle Mengde should have told Mr. Zhao," Lin Jian put his hand behind his back and said, "I will support what decision Jiayue and Si Yuan's side will make in the end." ”

"Yes, I'll go back to Jiangning right away." Zhao Qinmin said.

"No, Mr. Zhao should stay in Chongzhou first, and let Uncle Mengde chat with you for two more days; Jiayue and Si Yuan, I wrote a letter and sent someone to send it! Lin Jian said.

"That's fine." Zhao Qinmin said that he didn't know what decision Gu Wuchen's father and son would make in the end, and as a retainer, he couldn't interfere with the final decision.

Although wealth and danger are sought, the worse the situation, the more Gu Siyuan can establish a great achievement in Qingzhou, but to hold Qingzhou, it is very arduous, in addition to the fact that Qingzhou's foundation is too poor in Huaidong, Gu Siyuan's prestige cannot be compared with Lin Lian, and it is more to inherit the political legacy left by Tang Haoxin in Qingzhou - he will inevitably go north to assist Gu Siyuan. Lin Lian's meaning was to ask Lin Mengde to tell him more about Huaidong's political affairs, hoping that it would be helpful to defend Qingzhou in the end.

Lin Jian said to the attendant standing at the door: "Send someone to call Sun Gongzi over!" ”

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

Sun Zhuang withdrew from the battlefield of Luohe Mountain due to injury, and first returned to Chongcheng to recuperate from his injuries. He wanted to lead his troops to fight more, and he was very impatient with military analysis and other things, and he also fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and the days faded out. The Military Intelligence Department also considered that he was seriously recuperating from his injuries, did not restrain him, and let him live freely in Chongzhou City.

Tang Shuen's favorite concubine, since Yuntiguan forcibly occupied him, gave birth to a son when he was guarding Suining, and was pregnant again at the beginning of the year, and later brought to Chongzhou. Tang Shuen always wanted to get this beautiful little woman back, but Lin Jian signed a military marriage order at the beginning of the year, and the behavior of officials and gentry to occupy the wives and concubines of generals and gentry was a felony of killing the head, so Tang Shuen gave up his mind. Even his blind mother, Sun Zhuang can be regarded as having a home in Chongcheng. also accepted two veterans with stumps who could no longer go to the battlefield to serve as housekeepers in the house, and the care of Zhang Gou's family was regarded as settling down in Chongzhou.

Zhang Gou became the main general of the eastern, western and southern Zhejiang battalions in the direction of Luohe Mountain, and wrote back to ask his eldest son to learn the art of war and sword skills from Sun Zhuang. Sun Zhuang's resentment towards Zhang Gou did not disappear, but his wife and the little woman received the benefits of the Zhang family, and helped talk to him, he was upset when he heard it, so he took a family member to the tavern on the street to drink and relieve his boredom.

Lin Jian wanted to see Sun Zhuang, and the Dongya guards ran to Sun's house, and searched all the taverns in Chongcheng with Sun's family, and only then did they find him drunk in a small shop in the corner of a small alley - helping him to get on his horse and rush to Dongya.

When Lin Jian saw the drunken Sun Zhuang coming in, he frowned and said, "Stinky coaxing a drunk, embarrassed by the heavy responsibility, change someone else to ......" and he wanted to drive Sun Zhuang out.
