Chapter 95: The crisis is unsolved
(The first update, ask for a red ticket)
Lin Jian had arranged the affairs of the inner house, and there were still some things to discuss before going to Dongya, so he went to the study to read the Tang copies that had come from all over the country in the past two days, which was already a habit he had developed, and before dealing with the affairs of Chongzhou and the Jiangdong Left Army, he would first go to the prison
Song Jia, who came over first, saw Lin Lian come in, and said with a salute: "The concubine hasn't congratulated your lord on her new victory in Hecheng......
"Oh!" Lin Jian glanced at Song with a slight surprise, seeing that her eyes seemed to be pure jade, graceful and graceful, crystal and bright, and secretly said that as an old wife of a luxury family, it seemed that there was no need to gloat openly, and after hesitating to sit back on the table, he suddenly raised his head and asked Song, "The Kou soldiers went north from Shengsi, and more than 5,000 soldiers died in five of them...... Do you think there is still a crisis on the northern front that has not been solved? ”
"An adult's heart is like a candle, and the solution or unsolved is in the thought of an adult......" Song Jia also learned from the man to play an official tone, speaking in a virtual and real way, but his eyes stared at Lin Lian's face boldly and presumptuously. The assassination of the luxury family made her last trace of affection for the luxury family also cut off, but she was unwilling to be the canary for the men to fight for, but she was unable to fight for the fate and fan cage that this era had long arranged for women.
Song Jia was wearing a vest with embroidered gold silk trim outside the purple cloud shirt, and her hair was casually pulled behind her shoulders, adding to her beauty, Lin Jian stared at Song Jia and didn't think it was angry, sat down and took an official document to read, but she was still thinking about her words in her heart, and Orr asked: "The danger of Hecheng, how many people in the luxury family can see it?" ”
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Hecheng military fortress threatens the hinterland of Chongzhou, but after yesterday's battle, the invasion of the land and the loss of more than half of the soldiers, morale was greatly reduced, and the military and civilian casualties in Chongzhou were very small, and the morale was greatly boosted. Forty or fifty large families also came to congratulate him in a hurry yesterday, which shows that the situation in Chongzhou has been decided--to assemble the Jinghai camp in Jiangmen to peep into the sea between Hesheng and Hesheng, and the northern front to gather heavy troops.
"After this defeat, even in the hands of the East China Sea Kou, the threat to Chongzhou is limited - as far as the luxury family is concerned, Hecheng is too far away from the Shengsi Islands, and it is easy to be isolated by the Jiangdong Left Army Boat Division, and it is not easy to divide troops to defend Hecheng, which is not conducive to gathering troops to attack eastern Zhejiang," Song Jia sat up straight, and the Jade Girl Peak hidden in the autumn shirt and jacket stood tall, propped up the clothes, and said, "However, you are based in Chongzhou, and your vision is far beyond Chongzhou, Hecheng chokes Chongzhou's sea route to the north, in addition to abandoning the Huainan salt field, and threatening Huaikou- In addition to restricting the expansion of the Jiangdong Left Army, the Huainan salt field was abandoned, so that the price of salt was expensive, although the salt produced in Jin'an was small, but the price of salt soared, and according to the fornication between Hecheng and the salt lord, it could still make huge profits...... This kind of stakes, isn't there no one in Jin'an who can see it? ”
"Can the strategists around the young marquis see it?" Lin Jian asked.
Luxury Fei Bear and Luxury Fei Tiger are the sons of Jin Anhou, but Luxury Fei Bear is the son of the book, so people are used to be commensurate with the son, "Young Marquis" refers to Luxury Flying Tiger, in addition to the four sons of Luxury Wenzhuang, whose reputation is not as good as that of the eldest and second sons.
has confronted the Luxury Flying Tiger several times, and in Lin Bin's opinion, the Luxury Flying Tiger will attach more importance to Chongzhou than the Luxury Flying Bear. In the world, for men, taking a wife is a great hate, and Luxury Feihu should be eager to debone himself and cramp, if someone in the luxury family can go to the key point of the Hecheng Military Fortress, it is more likely to be the strategist around Luxury Feihu.
Song Jia's eyes stared at Lin Tie, the Hecheng Military Fortress is the real throat of Chongzhou, as long as someone in the luxury family can see the powerful relationship, the crisis in Chongzhou is far from being solved, but Lin Tie did not give the shock of exposing the sore feet, which made her puzzled: "You are not worried?" ”
"What's the use of me worrying?" Lin Jian asked calmly.
Song Jia seemed to think through a little, Huo Ran stood up and walked to Lin Bin's side, and spread out the Hailing Mansion sea territory map on the desk, she didn't care about being very close to Lin Bin, frowning and staring at the vast sea outside the Jiangkou, turning her head to stare at Lin Bin, as if she wanted to see through the deepest secret in Lin Bin's heart, and said: "When I was in Jiangning, I heard that there was a group of pirates on a small island in the north of the Shengsi Sea area. ”
Song Jia turned her head, her beautiful and unprovoked face was seven or eight inches away from Lin Bin, and the two of them were almost embracing each other, but the secret that she had discovered this time really shocked her, it seemed that the mystery of Lin Bin's rapid rise in a short period of time had been explained, even if he gave him a burning snort between his eyebrows, he forgot to move away, and he didn't think about paying attention to the distance between men and women, and when the corners of Lin Bin's mouth showed a shallow smile, she was palpitating in her heart, thinking about stepping back and getting out of the way, and she was a little flustered for no reason.
For Song Canon to peek into the secret of Changshan Island, Lin Jian was also stunned......
****************
In the late autumn of September in the tenth year of Chongguan, the night of Jiangning was shrouded in the boundless light rain, and the whole Jiangning seemed to be covered with a faint film of light. The autumn rain is not heavy, and the raindrops fall on the leaves, eaves, and brick-paved courtyards.
Qingfengxing was loose outside the Longzangpu General Hall in the south of Jiangning City, and there was no movement except for the occasional poke out of the gatehouse to observe the dark piles of the various yamen in ambush outside the courtyard.
It was raining, and there were no people on the blue brick path along the north bank of the river, and there were a few shops on both sides with red lanterns on the outer walls of the courtyard wall, revealing a dim light that reflected the rain.
The two guys at the counter were listlessly cleaning the counter with a whisk, the layout of the counter was not quite the same as other shops, and they were staring at the door of the main hall of Qingfeng Xing, and they were secretly staking here according to the envoy Sibu, staring at the luxury Feihu to prevent him from making any moves in Jiangning.
Qin Zitan wore a green cloth coat, walked to the inverted foyer in the front yard, asked people to blow out the lights in the house, opened the dark window to observe the movement outside the yard, and the several dark piles that have been discovered are as usual, it is inevitable that there will be some slackness after a long time, and it is not easy to detect a few people sneaking out, but this time it is necessary to act carefully.
"How?"
As soon as the light behind him brightened, Qin Zitan hurriedly closed the dark windows, so as not to discover the dark windows of these lookout posts for the dark stakes outside the courtyard.
When Hao Feihu walked in, he was a little impatient, and he couldn't settle down to wait for news in the inner house, and came to watch the situation in person.
"As usual," Qin Zitan said, "When the day dawns, the young marquis will also go out of the mansion to practice swords as usual, and his reserve boat will go against the water to the southwest, making the illusion of returning to Jin'an by pretending to go to Jiangxi, and then turn around and take the land route to dive to Haiyu and go to the sea-I'm afraid that the eldest prince will not be able to explain ......."
"What's there to talk about? Fighting a tiger requires brothers, and fathers and sons need to go into battle," said Yu Feihu, raising his eyebrows, "Since they can't see through the key points of the Hecheng Military Fortress, they suspect that the Hecheng Military Fortress is across the river from eastern Zhejiang and blocking the sea, so why not go and defend it on my behalf?" ”
Jiangning and Chongzhou are separated by 500 miles, except for the official express shop and Tangyi, ordinary people are forbidden to raise their horses and whips on the post road, and the messenger sent by Cheng Yiqun set off from Chongzhou, riding a horse from Gaocheng to Jiangning, and it took more than one day and one night, which is half a day slower than the usual flying horse express, and the luxury Feihu only knew early this morning that the Hecheng military fortress on the northeast corner of Chongzhou had fallen into the hands of Cheng Yiqun.
The Donghai Kou controlled by the luxury family is divided into two lines in the north and south at this time, the north is hidden in the south, the north is noisy, and the south is silent, that is, to create a big momentum on the northern front, lure the eastern Zhejiang soldiers to immediately counterattack Changguo, the northern line is responsible for Su Tingzhan, Cheng Yiqun, Shu Qingqiu and others, there is no plan to capture the Hecheng military fortress this time, after completing the "Shengdong" task, the troops will shrink to the south, and increase the encroachment on eastern Zhejiang - this is the established strategy,
After unexpectedly and effortlessly taking the Hecheng military fortress, Su Tingzhan, Cheng Yiqun, and Shu Qingqiu had differences in the follow-up battle plan of the northern front, and Xu Feixiong explicitly ordered the northern line to be dominated by Su Tingzhan, and Su Tingzhan supported Since the plan remained unchanged, Cheng Yiqun and Shu Qingqiu privately sent messengers to Jiangning to inform Hao Feihu of the news of the capture of the Hecheng military fortress.
Extravagant Feihu was trapped in Jiangning, like a beast trapped in a cage, Lin was bound to him had the hatred of taking his wife and sister, eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood, trapped in the house, the most studied and most thorough is Chongzhou - take Qin Zitan's words: "The Hecheng army is to the Jiangdong Left Army, just like the Jinhai is to the imperial court, all of them are throat points, and they can be God-given, and they need to be well managed." ”
Extravagant Feihu had long conspired to leave Jiangning, so that Qin Zitan frequently contacted Cheng Yiqun, Shu Qingqiu and other generals on his behalf, so as not to be left out in the cold, and when he learned that he had taken the Hecheng military fortress, he knew that it was the time for him to leave Jiangning, and without hesitation, he decided to leave Jiangning immediately.
Extravagant Feihu went to Chongzhou in a circle, with the support of Cheng Yiqun, Shu Qingqiu and others, it was not difficult for him to squeeze Su Tingzhan away and take over the military affairs of the northern front - boss, if you want to encroach on eastern Zhejiang, you will encroach on eastern Zhejiang, you can't cover the entire East China Sea tightly, and don't let me insert a finger into it!
......Listening to the sound of horses' hooves on the blue brick path outside the courtyard, Qin Zitan opened the dark window and saw a rider coming in the rain, galloping to the gate of the main hall, and the man on horseback turned over and came down and knocked on the steps.
The copper ring on the gate knocked on the bell, and the dark stakes outside the courtyard were almost alarmed, Qin Zitan frowned and scolded in his heart: Who is so ignorant? If it arouses the vigilance of all parties, the young marquis will leave Jiang Ning tomorrow, I am afraid that there will be more variables.
"Chongzhou secret letter, 100,000 urgent," the door opened, the man almost fell in, and the person almost lost his strength, "the secret is not copied on paper, but passed on by mouth......"
Extravagant Feihu listened to the secret words correctly, and dismissed the miscellaneous people, leaving only Qin Zitan and Du Cheli's two or three henchmen to listen to the messenger's dictation of Chongzhou's secret letter.
"Hecheng was defeated, Shu Qingqiu was killed in battle, Cheng Yiqun was wounded with four arrows, there was no major problem for the time being, five of the soldiers and horses in the north were lost, and the Hecheng military fortress had become a lonely place......" The messenger dictated the battle in Hecheng yesterday afternoon.
After hearing that the main force of the northern front captured the Hecheng military fortress, he was also determined to sneak to Chongzhou to do something big, at this time his heart was like being splashed with snow, where did he think that it was only a day, and the situation changed abruptly, and the soldiers and horses from Shengsi to the north lost half of them in only one day?
Extravagant Feihu was hit by this, and his breathing was also very difficult, so he slowly stood down on the table without saying a word. Qin Zitan was quite calm, and patiently asked the messenger about the details of yesterday's battle and the Hecheng military fortress.
