Chapter 44

In this era of taking Zhongjun as the archway, Lin Xuwen never expected that Lin Lian would be so bold as to deceive everyone under the guise of King Qin, holding the letter left by Lin Lian for a while, he was stunned for a while, and then came back to his senses, handed the letter to Huang Jinnian, and asked: "Lin Zhizhi has something to do to leave Jinhai temporarily, and it will take three or five days to come back, leaving this letter, Lord Huang, what do you think?" ”

How can it be to leave for three or five days? Huang Jinnian is not a fool, he can't swallow Lin Liansheng at this time, and then he thinks again: Lin Lian withdrew, and the Huaidongqin Wang Army, who originally planned to come by sea, naturally can't be counted on, but one thing is certain, Lin Lian, Lin Xuwen and others will not easily abandon Jinhai.

Thinking of being there at this time, Huang Jinnian asked uneasily: "General Zhou Pu is still in Jinhai?" "If Zhou Pu also led the cavalry to leave, it means that Lin Lian will completely abandon Jinhai, and when the time comes, he will do everything possible to save his life, where will he be in the mood to hate this and that......

"Seventeen said in the letter that the Huaidong cavalry camp is controlled by me and you in Jinhai, so naturally I will not transfer the cavalry battalion away......" Lin Xuwen said, but he was also a little unsteady in his heart, such a big thing, Lin Jian did not reveal a little news to him in advance, if Lin Jian was in the letter and panicked, who would he go to complain to?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuwen glanced at Sun Shangwang, and saw that there was a confused look on his face, thinking that he had just learned about it, so he discussed with Huang Jinnian: "Do you want to gather everyone over to discuss......

As long as his own life is safe, especially at this time, everyone is tied to the broken ship of Jinhai, everything must be guarded by Jinhai, Huang Jinnian can't care about investigating Lin Bin's crime of bullying the king, and it won't be his turn to pursue it-Huang Jinnian nodded in frustration and said, "Lord Lin, you can arrange it......"

Lin Xuwen instructed the attendants in the official hall and said: "Pass on the order of me and Lord Huang, and ask the generals above the rank of Zhaowu Captain and the officials above the seventh rank in the city to come to the official hall to discuss matters, and the news here must not be leaked out......

At this time, the doorman informed Wu Qi, Zhou Pu and Ma Yigong to ask for a meeting.

Hearing that Wu Qi and Zhou Pu were still in Jinhai, Lin Xuwen breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not happy when he thought of hiding such a big thing.

Sun Shangwang didn't know about Lin Bin's plan, but Wu Qi and Zhou Pu definitely knew.

Wu Qi, Zhou Pu, and Ma Yigong walked in, Ma Yigong's face couldn't hide the shock, Lin Xuwen thought that he should have just learned the news that Lin Lian secretly left Jinhai last night from Wu Qi and Zhou Pu, and said in a calm voice: "General Wu, come here!" He walked to the side hall first, waited for Wu Qi to follow, and asked in a suppressed voice, "Huaidong is really bold, such a big thing, why don't you know that it will happen?" ”

"My lord is asking me to explain one or two things to the eldest prince," Wu Qi said respectfully, "This plan is very risky, if the news leaks slightly, the plan will not be sold, and only two or three people in Chongzhou know the overall plan, and everything in the direction of Chongzhou is prepared by King Qinwang in the north." I only found out about my adult's plan yesterday, and that's one of them. Second, this plan is very risky, if the plan is not sold, the crime of bullying the king will not escape, and the adults don't want to leave no room to involve the eldest prince and the Lin family......"

"Alas......" Lin Xuwen sighed, if he had known that Lin Jian had such a plan from the beginning, maybe he would have persuaded him to dispel this idea.

Who would have thought that the situation in the north would suddenly fall into such a predicament, and now more than 50,000 captives have leaked in and are closed in the eastern Hebei region. Linyu, Jizhou, Changli and other cities are precarious. Don't say that the service route is interrupted, and the people of Jinhai who know that Lin Jian is taking King Qin as a child's play, even if the news reaches Yanjing, what ability does the imperial court have to investigate Lin Lian's crime of bullying the king?

"Intended for luxury?" Lin Xuwen asked in a suppressed voice again.

"Yes," Wu Qi said, "My lord said that the terrain in the north is dangerous, and it is also a unique opportunity for the luxury family, and it is impossible for the luxury family not to take advantage of the fire to rob in the south." If Jiangdong loses, even if he reluctantly beats Dongyu back this time, the general trend will be difficult to recover! ”

Lin Xuwen had long thought that Huaidong would not bet his chips on the north, but Lin Lian's acting was too real, and no one thought that he would be bold enough to deceive people under the guise of King Qin, so he deceived the past like this - at this time, hearing Wu Qi say this, Lin Xuwen also felt very much, if the southern line was broken through to the luxury family, no matter how hard they worked in Jinhai, what was the use?

Don't talk about Huaidong, the foundation of the Lin family is also in the south.

In addition to being a little unhappy with the deception, starting from the fundamental interests of the Lin family, Lin Xuwen also hoped that Lin Jian would look to the south first.

Jinhai can't hold it, everyone can still take the sea route to the south to retreat - look at the current situation, the situation in the north is already difficult to recover - at this time, it is even more necessary for the south to be stable and not cause a big mess.

"When Seventeen left, did you say how to guard Jinhai?" Lin Xuwen asked again.

"Before the Dongyu reacts, withdraw all the men and horses in the river to Cangzhou!" Wu Qi said, "After that, we have to wait for news from the south - if Yanjing can hold it, it may not be able to hold it, but after the south is stabilized, we must gradually evacuate the refugees from Jinhai City to the south!" Maybe in the end, I have no choice but to give up Jinhai City! ”

The city is small and has the advantage of being small, just like Yangxin, three or four thousand people, it can be guarded tightly, but the city cannot accommodate many refugees. The city has the advantages of the city university, just like the moats on the periphery of Jinhai City are built, which can barely accommodate nearly 300,000 people to take refuge in it, but such a city, the defensive force must not be less, and at the same time, it will avoid the weak points that will be penetrated.

Once the Donghu people control the eastern Hebei region, they will inevitably not tolerate the existence of such a henchman in the flank, once the Donghu people concentrate their forces to fight Jinhai, it will not be so simple to hold Jinhai at that time.

Whether Jinhai will defend or abandon in the end depends on the development of the situation. However, when Yanjing had not yet been lost, and the imperial court still had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi, it was no big problem to hold the Jinhai with the Tianjin Navy and the Huaidong Cavalry Battalion as the main force.

Lin Xuwen exchanged views with Wu Qi, and then returned to the main hall, and almost all the generals and officials in Jinhai City gathered in the official hall.

In any case, there are only a few people who really know the details.

Even if he is not afraid that the imperial court will investigate Huaidong's crime of bullying in the future, it is impossible to publicize it publicly, which will seriously damage the morale of the people of the Tianjin Navy to defend the city.

Ordinary generals and officials only knew that Lin Jian temporarily left Jinhai to supervise the transportation and supervise the army in Shandong.

Once the Jinghai Division at the mouth of the Bohai Sea was fully contracted and moved southward, and the troop carriers were delayed in going north through the mouth of the Bohai Sea, the people of Donghu would naturally understand that the Huaidong Army's plan to go north to King Qinwang was to attack the west from the east, and the captives in eastern Hebei would naturally infiltrate and cut into the hinterland of Hejian Fu without any scruples.

The most important thing at the moment is to adjust the defense deployment of Jinhai before the Donghu people react, and the troops scattered on the periphery will be fully reduced to the two cities of Jinhai and Cangzhou, relying on the sea route, and making every effort to fix these two cities.

Huang Jinnian, Chen Wendeng and other officials had nothing to say about Lin Lian's withdrawal from Jinhai, and the most important thing at the moment was to cooperate with Lin Xuwen to hold Jinhai.

After the military discussion ended, all the generals were ordered to adjust their deployments, and Wu Qi walked out behind Gao Zongting and shouted: "Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao......"

Gao Zongting stood up and waited for Wu Qi to come over.

"My lord said that if he can know him, Mr. Gao will also," Wu Qi said, "The matter is confidential, if there is a mistake, for not being able to inform him in advance, my lord wants me to apologize to Mr. Gao on his behalf!" ”

"Knowing the envoy of the forest system, the governor is also," Gao Zongting sighed slightly, "Knowing the news that the envoy of the forest system came to Jinhai, the commander insisted that I come to Jinhai with Quanshan and Dingbang." Dingbang has a stubborn temperament, and he has to stay in Beijing to take care of the governor - the governor lost his temper with Dingbang's insistence, and he couldn't screw him in the end. At first, I was a little puzzled about this, but then I figured it out: the Governor had figured it out from the beginning, Yanjing would fall into a desperate situation, and Lin Zhizhi would not bet Huaidong's chips on the north - this parting was separated by heaven and man......"

Speaking of this, Gao Zongting couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

"Chen Zhihu is still in Yanjing, the imperial court is very dependent on him, and Li Bingbu should be able to be envious!" Wu Qi said.

"The Governor is not the envoy of the Lin system after all, the Governor knows everything in his heart, but he has always crossed the threshold in his heart, making him restrained by traitors everywhere. Hao Zongcheng, Zhang Xie and others know where the weakness of the commander is, Chen Zhihu is a martial artist, he is in Beijing, how can he protect the commander? Gao Zongting said.

Wu Qi sighed in his heart, and he didn't persuade anything, and went separately with Gao Zongting to deal with the pile of things at hand.

***********

On the 17th, after Yang Wenchang, the former official of the Provincial Bureau, a prisoner of the Eastern Captives, surrendered, the Changli Shou General opened the gate of Changli City and led his troops to surrender to Ye Ji Duodi. The Changli military warehouse, which accumulated about 200,000 stones of millet and a large number of armor and ordnance, fell into the hands of the Donghu people in this way.

In addition to the 50,000 captive cavalry who entered the pass in advance, gathered with Changli as the center and attacked the northeastern Hebei city, Ye Zier also personally led 30,000 horse infantry to arrive at the Linyu Pass, and attacked the Linyu Pass with the troops of Nahe Xiongqi, who launched an offensive from the south.

At this time, the strategy of the Donghu people was also undoubtedly exposed, that is, to first concentrate troops to capture the peripheral cities and military fortresses of Yanji and other places, open up the passage from western Liaoxi to Yanji, and then besiege Yanjing for a long time. As long as the supply of grain and grass is not a problem, the Donghu people will not easily retreat to the outside of the pass this time.

Also on the same day, Lin Jian and Song Jia arrived at Xichengshan Island at the mouth of the Bohai Sea by Jinhai and joined the fleet of the Jinghai No. 1 Water Battalion, which had entered this side in advance.

It was also on this day that the troop transport fleet of the Huaidong Qinwang Army also arrived at the waters of the Bohai Sea under the escort of the Second Water Battalion of Jinghai......

The ship's mast is like a wall, standing at the head of Jinzhou City in the southeast corner of Liaoning, you can clearly see that the sails and masts of this sea area are like clouds and overwhelming - after the strong entry of the Jinghai Division, the Goryeo Navy Division was forced to withdraw from this sea area and retreat back to Hanyang Mansion to rest.

At least at this moment, the news that the Huaidong Army marched north to King Qin further confirmed the situation in front of him. The fast cavalry of the Donghu people galloped out of Jinzhou, informing the soldiers and horses of Liaoxi and the eastern Hebei region to be careful to guard against the Huaidong army to land from Jinhai.

Lin Tie stood on the desolate Xicheng Mountain Island with his hands in his hands, looking at the endless southern sky, and said to Qin Chengzu, Ao Canghai, Zhao Qingshan and other generals around him in a suppressed voice: "I can't cut off an arm of the luxury family this time, and I won't have such an opportunity in the future......"

"Counting the time, Qinghe should also return to Chongzhou from Shengsi to convey the secret order of the lord!" Qin Chengzu said, "I just don't know if there has been any change in the deployment of the luxury family's troops in eastern Zhejiang!" ”

"I can't care too much, whether the luxury family's strength in eastern Zhejiang has changed, or if there is no change, this battle will be fought hard!" Lin Jian said, "Let's send the order south!" ”
