Chapter 32 Official Position

(The second update, 4,000 word chapters, ask for red tickets!) )

The sentinel boat was low, and Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhi came from the north in the sentinel boat, and their vision was blocked by the seawall, and they only saw the soldiers lined up on the seawall, but they could not see the past situation of the seawall.

The top of the main mast of the Dongyang is as high as 10 zhang and there is a viewing post, and the weather is fine, and the enemy situation can be seen nearly ten or twenty miles away. It's just that the sentry tower is too simple, and the agile scouts climb up, and they also have to fix themselves on the mast with ropes, so as to observe the enemy situation and wave the flag to transmit messages, and it is inconvenient for Lin Jian to take Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhi to climb up to the observation post to watch the battle, but the top deck of the tail cabin is more than two feet high, and when you board it, you can see the battle situation on the other side of the seawall.

Yang Zhishan was full of suspicions that Lin Jian had falsely reported his exploits, and when he boarded the deck, he was stunned by the situation in front of him.

Standing on the top deck of the tail cabin, in the southwest direction of the vortex village, Nahe Xiongqi was leading six hundred horsemen to gallop towards Wang Dengtai Mountain, and Yang Yihang and Ma Yiwei infantry pursued in a marching array, covering the two wings with only a small number of cavalry......

Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhichu arrived when they first arrived, and they didn't know about the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers, and they all thought that the chasing infantry and cavalry were all Jiangdong Left Army sequences. Pursuing the enemy cavalry with infantry in the field, although relying on twice the number of troops, also made Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhi, and Liu Zhi believe that the two great victories in Cangnan were not all exaggerated, after all, the Qinwang division and the defenders who were cowering in the counties of Gyeonggi were more than three times the strength of the cavalry on the northern line of Dongyu, and they did not have the courage to fight.

Lin Xuwen and Liu Zhi didn't know anything about the military, no matter what kind of thoughts they had when they came over, but when they saw their soldiers fighting with the enemy's cavalry, their blood boiled and they were excited, and they wished that they were the generals who led the army to gallop on the battlefield, Lin Xuwen pointed to the two generals who took the lead in the pursuit formation and hugged the horses, and asked: "Who are those two?" Is it two of the four generals of the Jiangdong Left Army, Zhou Pu, Zhao Qingshan, Ning Zechen, and Cao Ziang? ”

"None of them are ......" Lin Jian said with a smile, Liu Zhi is a minister of the Inner Servant Province, and he should be Hao Zongcheng's person, he couldn't figure out Liu Zhi's attitude towards the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers for a while, so he sold a pass, and did not say it bluntly, at least when this battle is over, if he can accumulate military merits, the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers will also have something to rely on.

Yang Zhishan has served in the military department for many years, although he has no experience in directly leading the troops, but his views on military affairs are much deeper than those of Lin Xuwen and Liu Zhishen, he looked at it for a while, frowned slightly, and said to Lin Bin: "Although the enemy cavalry has withdrawn, the formation is not scattered, I am afraid that it is tempting our army to go deeper." The captives are the best at playing this trick, relying on the speed of their horses, and are accustomed to luring each other with small groups of cavalry, and when they go to the depths, the enemy suddenly appears in ambush everywhere, and our army cannot retreat, and suffers heavy losses repeatedly. The Jiangdong Left Army is brave, and we have already seen it, so is it prudent to be cautious? ”

Lin Xuwen and Liu Zhi gave Yang Zhishan a thorough word, and suddenly felt that the situation in front of them was not optimistic, and they all looked at Lin Lian, afraid that he would be arrogant and underestimate the enemy after his two great victories, Lin Jian smiled and said: "Today's battle is not only this way. The sea wind on the top of the cabin is strong, and the eldest brother and the two adults will follow me to the cabin, and I will tell you in detail......

Lin Jian took the Dongyang as the command ship and the tail cabin as the command post.

Two layers of tail cabin, the bottom layer of the armor soldiers, the second layer of the cabin periphery to build a ring corridor, standing on the ring corridor can watch the surrounding situation, more than ten knife guards stand on the corridor guard, into the cabin is a two-zhang square flower hall, just in the middle is a large wooden platform fixed on the bilge plate, spread out the topographic map of the south of Jinhai County, Sun Shangwang is responsible for the observation post to detect the direction of the movement of soldiers and horses on the topographic map.

Sun Shangwang saw Lin Tie bring people over, so he stopped what he was doing, and Lin Tie introduced him to Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhi, and said: "Sun Xiucai is Cangnan Xiucai, Cangnan has won many victories, Sun Xiucai is very meritorious, and at this time help me to counsel the military affairs ......"

Sun Shangwang knew that he was not qualified to speak in front of the people who came from Jingshi, so he saluted and stood aside in obedience.

Lin Jian invited Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhizhi to look at the topographic map in front of the wooden platform, and the travel routes and time points of Yang Yihang, Cao Ziang, and Ao Canghai were clearly marked on the map, and pointed to the topographic map to introduce the current war situation to them: "The enemy who is circling with my Jiangdong Left Army in Jinhai is the Dongyu Wang's Tent Commander Na He Xiongqi's department, after our Jiangdong Left Army won a great victory in Cangnan, Na He Xiongqi led more than 5,000 cavalry to counterattack Cangnan, and after Xiaobotou Village was weakened by our Jiangdong Left Army, there were less than 4,000 cavalry left. This is the location where we are located, this is the vortex village, the red arrow is the direction of movement of our army, and the blue arrow is the direction of movement of the captive cavalry. This short red arrow is the chasing cavalry we just saw on the roof of the cabin, in the southwest and due west, one of our troops each engaged the captive cavalry, at the middle point of the direction of the three-way movement, this is Wang Dengtai Mountain, that is, the garrison of the Nahe Xiongqi Department in Jinhai...... Since the Eastern Captives entered the Kou, they have fed the war with war, and they have not relied much on logistics and baggage, so they have no weight in camps. Hejian Mansion has washed and plundered the captives several times in the past two months, and there is not much grain and grass left in the wild, and when Nahe Xiongqi comes to Jinhai to fight with our department, he needs to carry food and hide it all under this Wang Dengtai Mountain, and our three ways are divided into three ways to attack together, which is to force Nahe Xiongqi to fight under Wang Dengtai Mountain......"

Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhi knew that what they had just seen was not an ordinary pursuit battle, but a battle carefully organized by Lin Tie, no matter how the three enemy cavalry responded, they all turned to Wang Dengtai Mountain on all three roads, that is, the captives and cavalry all broke through and fled, and this side could also capture the camp under Wang Dengtai, and capture the enemy's grain and grass, wounded soldiers, and horses, so that the Nahe Xiongqi Department lost the foundation of the entanglement with the Jiangdong Left Army in Jinhai, which was also a great victory.

There is no need for superfluous explanations and proofs, Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, Liu Zhi and the accompanying secretary, Hu Cong and others all believed that the two Cangnan victories were indeed true.

"With nearly 4,000 enemy troops, will the strength of the Jiangdong Left Army be insufficient?" Yang Zhishan asked.

Lin Lian thought that the head of the military department knew some military affairs, and explained: "Although Jinhai and Qingxian were swept by the captives, but the villages such as Wukou, Changlu, and Qingqi still held on. Although the enemy's strength was nearly 4,000, counting his injuries and illnesses, and the soldiers and horses guarding the camp and the village, after blocking the attack of our troops in three ways, there were about 3,000 of them...... If Jinhai can win another great victory, each village should be the first to take the ......lead" After saying this, Lin Lian looked at Liu Zhi, the inner servant, and saw that his eyes were staring at the topographic map, his eyebrows were slightly raised, thinking that he and the inner servant province should know that the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers were holding on here, and said with a smile, "Lord Liu, do you have any guidance?" ”

Liu Zhi smiled and said: "Lin Dujian is really a first-class military wizard, during the first battle of Jiyang, a certain family heard of your prestige, and I won't hide it from you, at that time, a certain family still felt that the war report was exaggerated, and when I saw it today, I knew that Lin Dujian was famous...... "He took out the official letter from his arms and said, "This is an official letter signed by Lord Hao Zongcheng, the director of the Inner Guard, Zhuluqin, Wang Shi, and Lord Zhou Zongxian of the Ministry of War, so that a certain family came to watch the grand occasion of the Jiangdong Left Army......"

This is an official letter from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Internal Servants, and Lin Jian did not need to kneel to receive it, so he bowed and took the letter over to read it.

Lin Jian was originally in the name of the supervising army to command the Jiangdong Left Army, so Liu Zhi can no longer use the name of the supervising army, the official letter clearly states that Liu Zhi was entrusted as the deputy envoy of the Jiangdong Left Army to watch the army Rong to come over on behalf of Hao Zongcheng and the military department to "watch the army", in fact, it is the supervision of the army, but the official letter only states that the Jiangdong Left Army should be known to Liu Zhi, and there is no need to discuss everything with Liu Zhi, Liu Zhi can not directly interfere with Lin Zhi's power to command the Jiangdong Left Army, which can be regarded as giving face to the Chu Party.

Lin Jian pondered in his heart the title of "Deputy Envoy of Guanjun Rong", although it was a temporary establishment, but judging from the setting of the title and the procedures of the military department and the provincial office of the internal service, he thought that maybe Emperor Chongguan had made up his mind to use his ministers......

Lin Jian smiled: "I said, how can I have a premonition that I can achieve a big victory in today's battle?" At this time, I realized that it was Lord Liu who came to supervise the battle, and if it was a big victory today, Lord Liu should take the first credit......"

Although Lin Tie was polite, Liu Zhi was also very happy to hear it, and the trace of unhappiness caused to him by Lin Tie's use of Jinhai Zhai soldiers disappeared, and said: "Lord Lin is really good at talking, what credit can a certain family have?" Isn't it the work of Lord Lin who strategized and the generals fought bravely to kill the enemy? ”

"Lord Liu doesn't need to be polite," Lin Jian said with a smile, pointing at Lin Mengde and said, "Lin Gongmengde is my uncle and Brother Xuwen, since I went north, he has taken care of military affairs for me, and I asked Uncle Mengde to introduce the details of the Jiangdong Left Army to Lord Liu one by one!" "People like Liu Zhi are the best way for Lin Mengde to deal with them.

"It's okay to worry, and let's talk about it after this battle." Liu Zhi said.

"Will there be a result of the war for a while and a half, I want to keep an eye on it here, so it is inconvenient to accompany each other," Lin Jian said, "Lord Liu and Lord Yang have come from afar, and it is very hard, I will prepare a boat for Lord Liu and Lord Yang to use, rest for a moment or two, if there is any situation, I will send someone to inform the two ......of you at any time."

Yang Zhishan also took out the official letter of the Ministry of War, he was purely here to verify the military merits of the first two great victories, Yang Zhishan would not stay here for long, Lin Jian asked Sun Shangwang to be responsible for checking the military achievements accumulated in several battles to Yang Zhishan and the two military officials he brought to verify.

Liu Zhi was so tired that his bones were about to fall apart, and Lin Jian wanted to arrange for him to go to rest before discussing the matter, and he did not refuse; In short, I have to leave some time to talk to Lin Xuwen and Lin Lian, the two clan brothers and clan brothers.

After Liu Zhi and Yang Zhishan were dealt with, Lin Jian asked Lin Xuwen: "Why did the eldest brother come over?" ”

"It's still thanks to Lao Seventeen, I asked for an errand to make a good deal to take the right capital to serve as the imperial historian and supervise the military preparation ......of the Hejian Mansion," Lin Xuwen said, and wanted to show the official document to Lin Jian from his arms.

When Gu Wuchen first arrived in Jiangdong, he was only the deputy envoy of the right capital, and then he was promoted to the left capital and the deputy envoy. Lin Xuwen's supervision of the military preparation of Hejian Mansion is only a temporary dispatch, and besides, Hejian Mansion has been completely disabled, and there is no military preparation affairs in the local area, but Zuodu Yushi is a real official position of the fourth grade. This is also a reconciliation between the two families of Lin Gu, and a great progress in officialdom since he defected to the Chu Party; He used to be a Langzhong in the Ministry of Works, and he was a five-grade official, and he didn't get ahead for many years.

Lin Xuwen said that the credit of Torin was not false at all.

If it weren't for Lin Lian's two victories in Hejian Mansion and his activities in Hejian Mansion all the time, which would have slightly improved the situation in Hejian Mansion, there would be no need for the imperial court to send envoys to Hejian Mansion to clean up the mess.

If it weren't for Lin Lian's contributions, even if he sent envoys, this errand would not necessarily fall on Lin Xuwen's head.

"My own brother, can I still check your official letter eldest brother? I should congratulate my eldest brother, I will be able to rely on my eldest brother in Hejian Mansion in the future. Lin Jian said with a smile, preventing Lin Xuwen from taking out the official letter and printing the letter.

"What to rely on or not rely on, in the final analysis, I still cooperate with your Jiangdong Left Army ......to act in Hejian Mansion," Lin Xuwen said.

Lin Jian thought that Lin Xuwen would come over and it would be much easier to do things than other strange officials who had no friendships; Compared with Liu Zhilai as the deputy envoy of the Guanjun Rong, Lin Xuwen supervised the military preparations of the Hejian Mansion with the title of the right capital, which is simply a great news.

Lin Jian led the Jiangdong Left Army to the north, and King Qin fought, but in fact had no jurisdiction over Hejian Province. Although Hejian Mansion was disabled, the Wuzhai forces in its territory were not weak.

Lin Xuwen was the governor of the Hejian Prefecture as the right capital of the imperial history and the military preparation of the Hejian Mansion, and was the governor of the local military affairs of the Hejian Mansion in the capacity of an envoy, and had jurisdiction over the local dock forces.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Jian knew that this was Zhang Xie and Tang Haoxin's more convenient conditions for him to use troops in Hejian Mansion in the court; Of course, the achievements of the Jiangdong Left Army in Hejian Mansion should also be given to the Chu Party.

Lin Lian has nothing to be reluctant about this, the military merits are monopolized on himself, and he may not be able to be a big official or a great benefit, and he will always rely on the Chu Party for a period of time in the future. Besides, Zhang Xie and Tang Haoxin asked Lin Xuwen to share the credit of the Jiangdong Left Army, which was also to give Lin Lian face, why didn't Lin Lian know how to raise at all?

Lin Xuwen came to Jinhai with the right capital of the imperial history and the governor of the Hejian Mansion, and Lin Jian was very welcome.

The direction of the imperial court has finally changed completely.

Lin Jian only hated that the wind had changed too late. If the imperial court had been determined to defend the war before the enemy organized an offensive against Jinan, Yezir Khan, the chief of the Eastern Empire, might not have organized troops to attack Jinan. Now it is necessary to wait for the victory and defeat of Jinan to know the next change in the situation.

“…… So, has the direction of the wind changed? Lin Jian asked pretending to be ignorant.

"When we came out, the emperor had already issued an order to envoy Zhou Zongxian, the governor of the military department, to the world Qinwangshi, and sent envoys from Shanxi to Zhongzhou to supervise the war, and be sure to drive the thieves out of Yanji," Lin Xuwen said, "Zhang Xiang and Tang Shilang have praised you, and I hope that you can lead the Jiangdong Left Army to fight a more beautiful battle in Hejian, but I didn't expect that as soon as we came to Hejian Mansion, there was good news to be sent back......"
