Chapter 8 Impact

On the slightly higher bank of the Yufu River on the east bank of the Yufu River, Lin Tie grabbed the reins, rode on horseback and watched the high-morale soldiers return to the Sanyuzhuang camp from his eyes, smiling, seeing the soldiers he knew, and raising his hand to greet him.

Cao Ziang knew the pressure on Lin Lian's shoulders under such a smile, from entering the territory of Jinan Mansion, Lin Lian's handsome cheeks were like a knife when he set off from Jiangning, and he lost more than two laps, and since he made the decision to go north to Yannan, the copper oil lamp in his tent has always been extinguished.

It is certain that Dongyu will go south to Shandong, but it is difficult to predict whether Jinan can hold on, how long it can hold on before it falls, and how long the prefectures and counties east of Jinan can hold out. Although it will avoid the main force of the Eastern Cavalry, it is still a difficult and dangerous road to go north to Yannan and advance behind enemy lines.

At present, in addition to patiently waiting for the opportunity to go north, it is necessary to wait for the main force of the Eastern Army to officially launch an offensive against Dezhou and Linqing Zhucheng, and cut off the connection between Shandong and Zhongzhou (Henan) and Jinzhong, which is the time for the Fifth Battalion of the Left Army to penetrate in the northeast direction -- it is also necessary to make full mobilization and pre-march preparations for the Fifth Battalion of the Left Army. Once they crossed the Yellow River and the main forces of the Eastern Capture broke through Dezhou, Linqing, and gathered troops in Jinan, the possibility of them getting supplies from the counties east of Jinan was very small, and in order to maintain relatively good mobility, all irrelevant baggage had to be reduced, and it was impossible to carry sufficient supplies.

"Although a small victory has nothing to do with the overall situation, the fifth battalion of the left army is still actively looking for fighters in Jinan Mansion these days," Lin Jian waved his horsewhip and pointed to the direction of the Yellow River in the north, and said to the people who followed him to the river bank left and right, "We must create as much as possible the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the infiltrated Dongyu outpost cavalry - in Dezhou in the north and Linqing City in the northwest, the main force of the Dongyu will not be able to come to Jinan Mansion, Jinan Mansion is still in the inner line, and the Dongyu sentinel cavalry that infiltrated in is mostly in the scale of dozens of cavalry to more than 100 cavalry, This provided us with very good conditions for accumulating experience in fighting with the Eastern cavalry. In addition, frequent and positive small victories not only helped to raise the morale and combat spirit of the Fifth Battalion of our Left Army, but also helped the defenders of Jinan Prefecture to improve their morale and restore their courage to fight the enemy. The stronger the will of the defenders of Jinan Prefecture to resist, the more they can attract the main force of the Eastern Captives, and the less pressure there will be after the 5th Battalion of our Left Army advances into Yannan. If Jinan can hold on, the main force of the Eastern Captives will eventually be forced to open a passage back to Yanshan along the western foot of Taihang Mountain......"

Sun Wenbing led a thin horse, stood behind everyone, and also followed the direction of Lin Bin's horsewhip to look north, Lin Bin's voice was not loud, but the whip looked north, making him feel an indescribable heroism.

Sun Wenbing came over today to say goodbye to Lin Bin.

Lin Jian decided to lead the five battalions of the left army to the north, and after the Xihe congregation lost the boat, they could not provide much logistical help to the left army of the Qinwang division, and Sun Wenbing also planned to pack up and lead dozens of congregations to return to Jiangning by land.

Sun Wenbing rode to Sanyuzhuang at noon, caught up with the left army to set up a siege and ambush the Dongyu sentinel in the north of Jinan, and also accompanied him to watch the battle. Although this battle was not very exciting, compared with the officers and soldiers who were trapped in the city and did not dare to fight, the left sergeants were particularly heroic and heroic.

Seeing those refugees kneeling on the ground, Sun Wenbing had a lot of impulses in his heart, that is, to go north with Lin Tie.

Sun Wenbing couldn't ignore the dozens of Xihe congregations who went north with him, and he had to go back to his hometown Xihe County first, and take all the people who stayed in his hometown to Jiangning to avoid the military disaster, the burden on his shoulders was not light, where could he leave it casually?

Sun Wenbing hesitated in his heart, and did not mention the matter of saying goodbye to the future, and after returning all the soldiers to the camp, he said some trivial things, and rode back to the Jing'er Lake camp before dark.

Almost all the soldiers of the five battalions of the left army were transferred from the Jing'er Lake camp to Sanyuzhuang, ready to set off north to Yannan, and in addition to the dozens of Xihe congregations in the Jing'er Lake camp, there were only a few disabled soldiers who would return to Jiangning by land with the Xihe congregation.

"Wen Bing, when will the fifth battalion of the left army pull out the camp?"

Sun Wenbing saw Wanniang, who was dressed as a woman and had charcoal powder on her face blackened, coming out of the camp with a waist knife with her. He handed over the thin horse to his entourage and led him to the stable, and said to Wan Niang: "How can I know the specific itinerary? You should be careful for me, if you sneak away again, my uncle will be embarrassed to skin me, and my father will peel my skin off......"

"You're embarrassed to say me, if I didn't help you, you could have done these things?" Sun Wenwan said, "Is it certain that we will go south?" ”

"......" Sun Wenbing scratched his head and said, "I forgot to say it." ”

"Forgot to say? You went to Sanyuzhuang today, didn't you make a special trip to say goodbye? Sun Wenwan stared at her cousin Sun Wenbing incredulously.

"......" Sun Wenbing told Wan Niang about the field battle in the north of Jinan City in the afternoon, and he didn't say that he thought about going north with Lin Tie, but only said, "As soon as this matter is interrupted, I forgot about it." ”

"I can take the congregation to Xihe first, take the grandmother and them out and take refuge in Jiangning together...... Sun Wenwan guessed the thoughts of her cousin Sun Wenbing, and said.

"Really?" Sun Wenbing asked unabashedly happy, "I won't go south with you, can you do all these things well?" ”

"Is there anything I can't do?" Sun Wenwan asked rhetorically, and said, "But you can't tell your sister-in-law in the future that I instigated you to go north with the army, otherwise your sister-in-law will hate me to death?" ”

"Then you're not worried that I'll be in danger if I go north?" Sun Wenbing asked with a smile.

"If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached? Today's horse leather shroud is better than the destruction of his country and his family in the future," Sun Wenwan grabbed the waist knife in his hand, and some women rarely had a strong temperament, and said, "I hate to be a man too, so that I can go north with you." ”

"You don't want to be Mulan," Sun Wenbing said with a smile, "When you go back to Jiangning, you will say that I have sores on my thighs, and I can't walk or ride a horse, so I can't take the mountain road to go to Xihe with you, so I can only take a car and follow Qinwangshi northβ€”you must not say that you missed ......."

Wan Niang took the initiative to take the responsibility in the past, and Sun Wenbing was also relieved that she had the ability to take the congregation to Xihe first, and then take the old family to Jiangning together. Putting aside this thought, Sun Wenbing found a few congregations who were old and serious, carefully arranged the matter of going south, and rushed to the Sanyuzhuang camp at night with five congregations who were willing to go north with him.

Sun Wenbing drove Lin Jian and the generals to lead the soldiers out of the camp at night, and only Cao Ziang and Lin Mengde were in the camp. At that time, more than a dozen Yannan people who had fled to Jinan came to the camp, led by a Xiucai from Hejian Prefecture, also surnamed Sun, Sun Shangwang, 312 years old, when Sun Wenbing arrived, Sun Shangwang was generously stating that he would bring more than 10 fellow villagers from Hejian Mansion to join the Jiangdong Left Army, and begged to be taken in here.

Cao Ziang only asked Sun Shangwang and more than a dozen villagers of Hejian Mansion to rest in the camp first, and everything had to wait for Lin Jian to come back.

Lin Jian did not hide his intention to lead the army north into Yannan, but most people were skeptical, thinking that Lin Jian was just making a statement in the face of the national disaster to earn some fame. Today's battle in the city, although it was only a small victory, also made some people trapped in Jinan City begin to believe that Lin Jian had the determination and courage to go north.

Sun Wenbing was also familiar with Lin Mengde, and when Sun Shangwang and others were sent to other camps to rest, he directly explained to Lin Mengde and Cao Ziang that he wanted to go north with the army.

Lin Mengde personally led the workers' camp, in the area where the cavalry of the East could radiate, the responsibility of baggage logistics was extremely heavy, and if he was not careful, it would become a burden to drag down the whole army, and the insufficient supply of logistics supplies would seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the whole army, and the burden on Lin Mengde's shoulders was not light. Sun Wenbing was willing to go north with the army, Lin Mengde was naturally the most pleased, and Sun Wenbing had nothing to trust, and he also had the ability, so he didn't wait for Lin Lian to come back, so he and Cao Ziang made the decision to keep Sun Wenbing.

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

In the military camp in the southwest highlands of Jinan Kuocheng, the cold wind blew, making a ghost crying wolf howl.

"Tomorrow, I will move to Liaocheng, and then go north to Jinzhong," Yue Lengqiu's face under the lamp in the tent was gloomy and cold, patted the table, and looked at Lu Jingyan with open eyes, "If you don't go, follow you, whoever wants to stay with you will follow you, and it is okay for me to issue a military order, but I want to warn you, if you choose to stay today, there will be no place for you in Dongmin in the future!" ”

Lu Jingyan sat up straight, picked up the helmet and held it in front of his chest, stood up and saluted Yue Lengqiu, and said, "Thank you Yue Ducheng!" ”

Yue Lengqiu looked at the military attaches who stood up with Lu Jingyan one by one, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water.

Yue Lengqiu issued a military order and threw it to Lu Jingyan indignantly; The camp was extremely depressed, afraid that if he didn't pay attention to it, he would cause Yue Lengqiu's thunderous anger to move to his head.

Song Bo also trembled slightly in his heart, afraid that he would be reprimanded if he accidentally did something wrong or wrote a wrong word.

Seeing Yue Lengqiu's angry wave of his hand and let Lu Jingyan and many military attaches who were determined to stay and defend the place go out of his tent, the moment Yue Lengqiu lowered his head, Song Bo clearly saw a sneer flashing at the corner of his mouth.

This sneer made the hairs on Song Bo's back stand up, and the more he thought about it, the more chilling he became, ah, where was Yue Lengqiu's indignation? In his heart, he wished that Lu Jingyan would divide his troops with him here.

After the imperial court successively transferred Chen Zhihu and other troops out of Eastern Fujian, Lu Jingyan and other brave generals were left to guard the important places in Eastern Fujian to suppress the luxury family.

These brave and warlike generals in the Eastern Fujian Army all grew up under Li Zhuo, and it was impossible for them to be loyal to the governor Yue Lengqiu. On the contrary, because the Chu Party tried its best to suppress Li Zhuo and restrict Li Zhuo's role in the Jiangning garrison, Lu Jingyan and other Li Zhuo's old subordinates also naturally disliked Yue Lengqiu, who was the core figure of the Chu Party and went to Dongmin to pick Li Zhuo's peaches after the war.

Song Bo only saw a key problem at this time: Yue Lengqiu led the army to King Qin this time, and most of the generals selected were the ones who resisted him most resolutely in Eastern Fujian on weekdays.

After Yue Lengqiu went north to Jinan, he decided that the main force of the Eastern Captives would attack Jinan, and he wished that Lu Jingyan and other generals would stay and help defend Jinan.

If Lu Jingyan and other generals assisted in defending the local area and made meritorious contributions and expelled the main force of the Eastern Capture from Shandong, no one could deny that it was he Yue Lengqiu, as the governor of Eastern Fujian, who issued a military order to make General Lu Jingyan lead the first part of the Eastern Fujian Army to stay in Jinan to assist in defending the place; If Lu Jingyan's generals were to die in battle or retreat in battle, naturally it would no longer be an obstacle for Yue Lengqiu to take sole power in Eastern Fujian.

More importantly, no one can accuse Yue Lengqiu of avoiding the war, because no one can say that the Eastern Fujian soldiers left behind in Jinan led by Lu Jingyan were not under his command.

He acted so well in this play that he hid almost everyone from him, Song Bo felt a cold sweat oozing out of his back, he lowered his head and copied the text, not daring to let Yue Lengqiu see the strange look on his face.

Yue Lengqiu was thinking about other things, and he didn't notice that his plan would inadvertently show Song Bo through.

In any case, Lin Lian's decision to enter Yannan alone embarrassed Yue Lengqiu, and he finally understood that Lin Lian was Gu Wuchen's disciple, and he was not the same source Chu Party, and he could easily win Lin Lian over with a few small favors and promises.

Yue Lengqiu never understood why Lin Lian wanted to risk going north.

Although the main force of the Dongyu will be attracted to Jinanfu, in the north of the Yannan region, the Dongyu must guard against the officers and soldiers in the direction of Gyeonggi, and there will be no shortage of cavalry left behind, and it will be difficult for the 3,000 Jiangdong soldiers to penetrate directly to Gyeonggi. As long as they encounter more than 1,000 captives and cavalry in the wilderness, it will be difficult for the 3,000 Jiangdong soldiers to get rid of the danger of even the entire army being annihilated. Especially after the fall of Jinan Prefecture and the prefectures and counties east of Jinan Prefecture, the 3,000 Jiangdong soldiers in Yannan will fall into a dangerous situation where they cannot retreat or advance, and their supply will become a problem, and Dongyu will also have the ability to draw more cavalry to clear the resistance forces in Yannan.

Three thousand Jiangdong soldiers may be able to resist a thousand captives, but what about three thousand captives, five thousand cavalry, eight thousand, or even ten thousand cavalry? In the Yannan area, which was looted by the Eastern Cavalry, what should be done with the supplies?

How much fame is worth this fight? Yue Lengqiu secretly thought in his heart, since Lin Jian stated that he would lead the army to the north, he had indeed earned a lot of fame in Jinan Mansion; But no matter how high the fame is, you must save your life to enjoy it; Maybe it's because you're too young and too young!
