Except for Yue Lengqiu, who sent personnel to break through the siege in Xuzhou to ask for help, since mid-June, the Ningwang Mansion and the Jiangning Military Department have issued a document to send an edict to Huai to aid Xuzhou, but Lin Lian refused.

On 20 June, Jingzhong also sent an envoy from Qingzhou to Huai'an, urging Huaidong to send troops to Xuzhou.

Although Lin Jian obeyed the order, he refused to send troops because the major generals were weak and the food was insufficient, and no one entered Huai'an City, and moved into the Green Willow Garden on the beach northwest of Qingjiangpu, and there was no movement.

In the eyes of scholars, Lin Jian has shown the appearance of a tiger and a wolf, and in essence, it is no different from Liang Xi and Liang Chengchong of Jinan and Cao Yiqu who cannot be released from Tongguan.

In the scorching heat of June, the scorching sun was scorching.

In the garden of the Yahou Mansion of Huai'an City, the summer cicada was irritable, Liu Tingzhou couldn't stand the summer heat, sweat was gurgling down, took off his official robe, and the green shirt and gown in the middle were soaked with sweat, standing under the willows by the pool, facing the breeze of the pond willows, and pouring a bowl of mung bean soup to relieve the heat, I felt better, but I was irritable and difficult to go.

Tao Chun was wearing leather light armor, the leather armor was not breathable, and there was an inner lining inside, sweating like pulp, but he sat in front of Liu Tingzhou, and when he bowed down, his waist was as straight as a pillar, and he said: "When Tao Chun came, the thieves built an embankment in the southwest of Xuzhou City, and they had the idea to further raise the flooding in the city. Ten days have passed, Xuzhou will fall at any time, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians are hanging by the limit. Tao Chun came to say goodbye to Lord Liu today, so he rushed back to Xuzhou, and life and death are with Xuzhou! ”

Liu Tingzhou was restless, listening to Tao Chun's generosity and awe-inspiring, his heart was also angry, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "General Tao will stay for a few days." Since the envoy is reluctant to fight, the old man will recruit thousands of brave men in the city tomorrow to go north to aid Xuzhou. The old man is also a handful of bones, useless, for the court, the remnants are not enough to ......"

"Tao Chun is a martial artist, there is nothing to regret in this trip to die nine times, but the boss is tied to millions of Huai'an military and civilian children, and he can't easily cross Huai'an!" Tao Chunbai kowtowed again and again, crying silently.

The special envoy of Beijing was Deng Wei, the superintendent of the Imperial Palace, and he was a student of Zhang Xie.

After arriving in Huai'an, Deng Wei fell out with Lin Tie in just two days, and he also persuaded: "Please Lord Liu take back his life, I don't believe that I can't participate in the swineherd!" ”

Liang Wenzhan said secretly: When Jinan City fell, why didn't Tao Chun sit on the wall with Yue Lengqiu and watch, what face did he have today to accuse the Jiangdong Left Army of not saving him when he saw death?

Liang Wenzhan has disdain for Tao Chun and Deng Wei's tricks, the Liang family and the Cao family are strong and strong, and they all stand still, but they force Huaidong, who is weak in the army, to send troops, Deng Wei's ginseng instinct plays a role, it's really hell.

However, Liu Tingzhou said that he would recruit Zhuang Yong to personally lead Duhuai to Xuzhou, and his expression was generous and resolute, and his determination was not trivial, not like a plan, which made Liang Wenzhan secretly frightened.

Since the rebellion of Hong Zepu, Liu Tingzhou's family was killed by Chen Hansan, and for several years he guarded Huai and resisted the eastward advance of thieves, and his reputation in Huai'an was very high.

Liu Tingzhou was killed by thieves by crossing Huai, which would naturally achieve his reputation as a loyal martyr through the ages, but at the same time, it would also seriously damage Lin Lian's prestige in Huaidong; And the Huai'an salt merchant forces such as Mafu are extremely hateful and repulsive towards Lin Bin.

Liu Tingzhou died, and the imperial court could send another prefect, but Lin Jian lost the possibility of gaining a foothold in Huai'an.

Unexpectedly, Liu Tingzhou would rather take a few thousand people to death, and insisted on not agreeing to the permanent Huaidong envoy.

Liang Wenzhan put down the pu fan, bowed down and said: "The righteousness and loyalty of the Fuzun are the model of my generation, and Wenzhan implores the Fuzun to take back his life." Fuzun went to death with indignation, who can be the millions of people in Huai'an? ”

"Xuzhou and Huai'an, lips and teeth. The city of Xuzhou was broken, Yue Du died, hundreds of thousands of thieves rushed south, with the mantis arm of Huai'an, can you stop the car? Liu Tingzhou asked sadly.

Hearing Liu Tingzhou say this, Deng Wei also said angrily: "Since Lord Liu sacrificed his life to serve the country, Deng Mou does not dare to spare his life, please go along!" ”

Liu Tingzhou Duhuai has the heart to die and refuses to compromise with Lin Tie, Deng Wei even thought that Liu Tingzhou was going to use this to blackmail Lin Tie to send troops, and inviting his peers was an aggravating bargaining chip - Liang Wenzhan thought and laughed in his heart: I don't know if Deng Wei can still have the determination to die generously after catching up with the shelves?

Thinking of this, Liang Wenzhan said: "Wenzhan thought about it again and again, and thought about it again, please speak for ...... adults."

"Please speak to the exhibition." Liu Tingzhou said.

"It is said that under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man. You can't expect others to have the righteousness of the house, so that there is a big reward. The envoy was reluctant to send troops for a long time, and his heart was greedy, and it was obvious that it was revealed," Liang Wenzhan thought about it a little, and said a few bad words about Lin Tie, "I want to ask my lord, Lord Lin sent troops to aid Xuzhou and made great contributions, even if there is no excerpt from Yue Du, he asked himself to set up an envoy to establish Huaidong, will the imperial court allow it?" If Lord Lin fails, even if he hands over Yue Du's fold, there is nothing to worry about......

"In what you said, of course there is nothing to hesitate," Liu Tingzhou frowned and thought, and said: "I'm afraid that I'm afraid that the deputy general here will hand over the fold of Yue Du, and he will not move!" Liang and Cao have the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and this swineherd should not be taken lightly! Mr. Chen is very accurate and will not speak falsely. ”

The notoriety of Lin Bin's swineherd came out of Chen Xiyan's mouth first, and it was very poisonous in the clear stream of scholars, and it was not surprising that Liu Tingzhou had prejudices.

Liang Wenzhan sighed in his heart: The possibility that Liu Tingzhou is worried about does not mean that it does not exist.

The excerpt went to Qingzhou and handed it to Beijing, and it was also said that it would take seven or eight days.

Under the current situation, it is almost impossible for the imperial court to refute Yue Lengqiu's excerpts, but once the Huaidong system is officially established, Lin Jian can still stand still in Huai'an.

Or Lin Lian bluffed across Huai to fight a few innocuous small battles, confess, and then return to Huai'an, others are helpless.

At that time, there will be big thieves in Huaibei, and Lin Jian will have the official name of the envoy, and he may be a little out of reach of Hailing and Weiyang, but Huai'an Mansion will definitely not be able to escape from the palm of his hand.

In the final analysis, Liu Tingzhou is very wary of Lin Bin, and he will continue to pull the skin without restrictions, and this game really can't be solved.

Liang Wenzhan didn't want to see Liu Tingzhou acting righteously, so he really recruited thousands of people to personally take Du Huai to death.

Liang Wenzhan said: "Don't reveal the rumors about recruiting people for the time being, I happen to have something to see Lord Lin, maybe I can take the opportunity to probe his style......

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

Hearing that Liang Wenzhan came over and said that Liu Tingzhou wanted to recruit people to bravely cross Huai to help Xuzhou, when Lin Jian was discussing things in the hall, he remained silent, and when he returned to the house, he couldn't help but complain bitterly: "This old horseman really disdains to be with me!" ”

During the discussion, Song Jia hid behind the screen to listen, and said with a smile: "Liu Tingzhou is also a person of the clear stream, and his style is better than those who claim to be a clear stream, you really can't watch him take thousands of people to cross the Huai to death." ”

Now that the weather is hot, even if she wears a green shirt, it is difficult to hide her graceful figure, especially her bulging breasts, which are just a thin layer of clothes, and she can't hide it.

Lin Wei smiled bitterly: "Deng Wei followed the coaxing, thinking that Liu Tingzhou had the intention of persecuting me, but I shouldn't, Liu Tingzhou will really cross Huai to send me to death...... He's a tough old man, ripping skin, tearing skin, why bother to force himself to death? Although he can't urinate with Liu Tingzhou, Lin Jian also admires Liu Tingzhou's style, which is indeed not comparable to ordinary mediocre officials.

At this time, I have to admire Yue Lengqiu's true ability to see people, obviously he has become a trapped beast in a cage, and he can only rely on this side to send troops to rescue, but he can still catch the last hole card in his hand.

Song Jia said: "But it's also beneficial to let Liu Tingzhou and Deng Wei toss around......

"Confusing the bandits?" Lin Jian asked.

"Well," Song Jia said, "it is impossible for the bandits to be without spies in Huai'an City, and the news of the confrontation between civil and military forces in Huai'an has naturally reached the ears of Chen Hansan and Liu An'er." Liu Tingzhou's recruitment of people to aid Xuzhou is nothing more than forcing you to send troops to cross Huai, and in the eyes of Liu An'er, Chen Hansan and others, the same is true. When the official documents of the government are posted, you will send troops to cross the Huai, and in Liu An'er, Chen Hansan and others, naturally you will be forced by the situation and put on some postures, and first fight a few battles in the Sikou and Shukou areas, which can confuse the ......bandits even more."

Lin Jian thought for a moment and nodded: "But it's a good excuse to take advantage of the situation to adjust the situation of the northern defense line......

In the confrontation with the Liumin Army along the Huai River, small-scale movements are easy to conceal, but it is impossible to hide the eyes and ears of the other side with large-scale adjustments of troops and horses. Nearly 10,000 elites crossed to aid Xuzhou, and it was very difficult to surprise the displaced army suddenly, and it was necessary to use all means to confuse the displaced army and slack their vigilance.

Lin Jian also discussed with Qin Chengzu and others in Huai'an, and was determined to let the situation develop and not respond in advance.

***********

On June 26, the Huai'an Prefecture posted a notice to recruit the Huai people to form an army.

In the more than two months since the Jiangdong Left Army defended Huai, the situation on the Huai River has improved, and in the eyes of ordinary people, crossing the Huai River to aid Xu is not a battle to the death.

Liu Tingzhou emptied the government bank this time, raised the Anjia silver to twenty taels, and distributed half of it on the spot, and the remaining half was distributed in Xuzhou.

There are many displaced people in the south, and there is no place for food and clothing, and there is no place to stand in Huai'an, and enlisting in the army is also a livelihood. Moreover, there were many poor people in Huai'an at that time, and Liu Tingzhou's reputation in Huai'an was indeed not weak, and there were seven or eight thousand recruits on the day of the list.

Liu Tingzhou also recruited thirty or forty military attaches from the Huai'an Prefecture army who voluntarily crossed the Huai River with him, opened the prefecture armory, hastily organized and armed seven or eight thousand people, and transferred two or three thousand people from the Huai'an Prefecture Army to make up the number of 10,000 people to form the Huai Crossing Army.

Time is in a hurry, and there is no guarantee that there will be no meticulous work of the displaced people in the newly recruited seven or eight thousand people's warriors, and there is no practical and effective means to settle these people's families.

In the eyes of Lin Tie and others, using these rabble to cross Huai to aid Xu is child's play, but it does not prevent Liu Tingzhou from making a huge and enthusiastic fight in Huai'an, and even hundreds of scholars generously joined the army to accompany Liu Tingzhou to help Xuzhou.

Ma Fu was the son-in-law of the king of Chu, the king of Chu was trapped in Xuzhou, Liu Tingzhou recruited people to cross the Huai bravely, Ma Fu donated 100,000 silver to help the army, and Ma Conglong led more than 500 elite people to accompany him, which made the prestige of the Ma family in Huai'an recover a lot.

Someone with a heart secretly made a move, and the prestige of Lin Tie, who "did not move and did not save when he saw death", naturally plummeted in Huai'an, and every day there were even many scholars, Qingliu, and village elders who came to invite soldiers to fight, kneeling in front of the Green Willow Garden and refusing to leave.

Zhang Yubo, who supervised and trained the Huai'an Mansion Army in Shanyang County, finally couldn't sit still, and rushed to the green garden on the 28th, and saw a scholar outside the garden who was exposed to the scorching sun and fainted, and then saw Lin Tie playing chess in the garden with Song Jia, the wife of the luxury flying tiger who had occupied it, and couldn't help but be angry: "You can't really let Liu Tingzhou cross Huai to send him to death." You go into the city and take a look, Liu Tingzhou is really going to die, who will let you in Huai'an? Master Gu will also be forced to plead guilty in Jiangning! ”
