(The second update, ask for a red ticket)

Lin Jian learned the news of Quan Ciqing's defeat at Longshan on Daheng Island half a day later than Jiangning, and he sent a sentinel to Mingzhou to watch the situation to take a land route to Haiyu, and then go to sea by boat to Haiyu South, and the wind was not smooth, which was much slower than the post horse that went to Jiangning by land, and it was already dusk on the 13th when the ship arrived at Daheng Island.

The ship to cross the sea was provided by the Haiyu Township Battalion, and Chen Huawen also led 2,000 soldiers from the Haiyu Township Battalion to cross the sea in more than 30 warships to join Lin Tie.

Lin Jian attacked and captured Daheng Island yesterday, and the sentry ships of the Haiyu Township Battalion in the East China Sea also transmitted the news of the Jiangdong Left Army's attack on Daheng Island back to Haiyu before dusk yesterday.

When Lin Jian went to sea for the first time in mid-August to attack Dayangshan Island, he invited Haiyu Township to guard Dayangshan Island, but Chen Huawen politely refused in consideration of the situation at that time.

Although Chen Huawen got the news and did not know that the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army led by Lin Tie had finally captured Daheng Island, he also guessed that Lin Tie must have great confidence in this strong attack, so he considered joining forces with the Jiangdong Left Army to establish a solid defensive line along the Shengsi Islands and the southern border of Haiyu County.

However, there are different opinions within Haiyu County and the Chen family, one is worried about whether the Haiyu Township Battalion has the strength to resist the outside world, and the other is that Lin Lian's actions in Chongzhou have greatly damaged the interests of the local powerful clans, and everyone is worried that the joint forces will let Lin Lian's hand infiltrate Haiyu County, and there is a worry that it will lead wolves into the house and raise tigers.

In the end, the opinion was that it was possible to form a good alliance and show mutual solidarity with the Jiangdong Left Army, but it was not appropriate to carry out substantive joint forces.

Who would have thought that a night would turn the situation upside down?

The soldiers of the two Zhejiang counties were defeated in Longshan, and the situation in eastern Zhejiang collapsed - Chen Huazhang, Chen Huawen brothers and the people of Haiyu County were not worried that Lin's hand would reach Haiyu at this time, but that the Jiangdong Left Army would face the strength of the East China Sea Kou and abandon Daheng Island and retreat to Chongzhou. Without the cover of the Jiangdong Left Army, the flanks of Haiyu County would be directly exposed to the threat of the main force of the Donghai Kou.

It was Chen Mingzhen who crossed the sea with Chen Huawen to Daheng Island to see Lin Tie.

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

Listening to the sentry detective's description of the details of the battle in Longshan, Lin Jian frowned.

Compared with the post-riding messenger who galloped to Jiangning to report the news, the information brought back by the sentinel brought out by Wu Qi himself was more detailed and accurate, but it was also limited.

In mid-September, Quan Ciqing gathered nearly 40,000 troops in eastern Zhejiang, and the war against the bandits involved the Xiangshan Peninsula, Liuheng Island, Meishan Island, the coastal areas of Mingzhou Prefecture, Changguo Island, Daishan, and other vast areas and sea areas.

What's more, the defeat of Longshan came too suddenly, and Lin Jian did not take into account that the cautious life of the second secretary of the Quan would rashly attack the main island of Changguo from Longshan before the local battles such as Meishan and Xiangshanling did not improve, so that the rear road was attacked, and the formation was chaotic and collapsed, and most of the routed troops were trapped in the north of Changguo Island, and there was nowhere to escape.

"The luxury family will directly send troops to intervene in this battle, which is no different from raising the rebel flag again," Zhao Qingshan said with a strained face, "In addition, most of the Zhejiang soldiers in Meishan and Xiangshan Mountains have also been defeated, and the situation in eastern Zhejiang is afraid that it will be irreparable." ”

Before the war, there were about 20,000 Kou soldiers gathered in the Changguo area, and then the troops were divided into the northern front, in fact, at this time, the Donghai Kou in the northern front invested nearly 14,000 troops, and the southern line did not exceed 10,000 troops, and on the southern front, Meishan and Xiangshan Ridge had a considerable part of the Kou soldiers to besiege the Zhejiang soldiers, plus the Changguo Island and the Daishan and Tushan islands of the island guarding the island, unless the luxury family directly sent troops to intervene, the luxury Fei Xiong in the East China Sea could not make up the troops to attack the Zhejiang soldiers in the back of the main force of Longshan.

Zhou Tong spat viciously, and said angrily: "There must be ghosts secretly attached to luxury families in Liangzhejiang, and it is impossible to have such a coincidence!" ”

In the eyes of Zhou and the former generals of the Jin Army, Hao Zongcheng was an inner ghost who was bought by the Donglu people, hated it to the bone, and was particularly sensitive to this matter.

Jin'an and Mingzhou are thousands of miles apart, and the luxury family directly sent troops to intervene in this battle in Jin'an, to avoid the surveillance of the Eastern Fujian side, and even the timing of the assembly of the army must be just right, not sooner or later - if there is no internal ghost cooperation in the two Zhejiang Governor's Mansions, can someone in the luxury family not know a few days ago that the prophet Quan Jiqing will suddenly lead the main force of Zhejiang troops from Longshan to the main island of Changguo the day before yesterday?

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

Chen Mingzhe also considered the possibility of the luxury family directly sending troops to intervene in this battle, but he was not as sure as the generals of the Jiangdong Left Army to grit his teeth, he saw Lin Jian frowning, his eyes looking at the empty space of the far sea, and his mind seemed to drift elsewhere, as if he did not listen to the judgment of the generals under his command on the war in eastern Zhejiang.

Chen Mingzhen also saw Lin Jian again after that unpleasant contact in Jiangning last year.

When we met in Jiangning last time, although Lin Lian was full of sharpness, he also had the prestige of the bloody battle of Jiyang, but Jiangning Shizi Qingliu looked down on this outlier who was better at raising pig manure than books. Chen Mingzhe was the champion and the first, and when he was proud and arrogant, he was forced to leave Yanjing and return to Jiangdong to forbear, which was the first major setback in his life. And the direct root cause of all this is that Lin Jian and Gu Wuchen teamed up to find out the Qujia gang case and involved his master Chen Xiyan, Chen Mingzhen may not have hostility and hatred towards Lin Jian in his heart?

Time has passed, Chen Mingzhe's mood has also changed in the past year, the Hui people deal with general affairs, learn military affairs, and become more pragmatic, so that they can more deeply understand Lin Bin's talent outside the false name.

Even if the deepest mustard in his heart is difficult to dispel, Chen Mingzhe has learned to restrain his arrogant and arrogant posture in front of Lin Bin, and can seriously examine this character who brought him the first major setback in his life.

Autumn is deep, the north wind is howling, the weather is getting colder, Lin is tied to the green armor covered with a crimson official robe, and the sight is withdrawn from the open sea, the situation in eastern Zhejiang will suddenly collapse, it is indeed beyond his expectations, but the situation in eastern Zhejiang is so erosive, Xiao Taoyuan and Ninghai Town Water Camp This variable will become more dangerous......

"It seems that it is not the time for the luxury family to raise the flag of rebellion again, which is really strange." Zhao Hu said.

When Lin Jian led the army north to Qinwang, Zhao Hu stayed in Jiangning, so his reputation was not as good as that of Zhao Qingshan and Zhou Tong.

Chen Mingzhe looked strangely at the black-faced young general beside Lin Lian, who was only slightly older than Lin Lian, but he was an important general of the Jiangdong Left Army, I don't know why he judged that now is not the time for the luxury family to raise the flag of rebellion again, and said: "The Dongyu is about to break through the pass and enter the Kou, the luxury family may have contact with the Dongyu, and the north and south use troops, which will damage the foundation of the imperial court, is it impossible?" ”

Lin Jian listened to Chen Mingzhe even if he refuted Zhao Hu, his tone was no longer as sharp and aggressive as last year in Jiangning, his tone was gentle, it seemed to refute, but it also had the intention of asking for advice, which would not make people unhappy, and secretly said that he was also the number one person at this time, and it was inconvenient to sneer him, and said: "The time is not right." Dongyu may not know the power of Li Bingbu, but the luxury family has suffered in his hands. Even if he secretly colludes with the Donglu to use troops in the north and south - there is no substantial risk for the Dongyu to break through the pass and enter the Kou, and the luxury family wants to press their lives this time, as far as the luxury family is concerned, even if the flag of rebellion is raised again, it should be launched after the Dongyu breaks through the pass and enters the Kou, and only ......" Speaking of this, Lin Jian eased his tone, "I'm afraid that there will be other big variables coming out!" ”

"Other variables?" Chen Mingzhen asked suspiciously.

"Other variables aside, even if the situation in eastern Zhejiang today is not something you and I have the ability to recover," Lin Tie restrained all his worries and fears, looked at Chen Huawen with a resolute expression, and asked, "Lord Chen and Brother Mingzhen led the soldiers of Haiyu County to join me, and I asked Lord Chen and Brother Mingzhe: Can you trust me Lin Tie?" ”

"Of course......" Chen Huawen may not trust Lin Jian in his heart, but his expression is very sincere when he says this.

"Then, in Lord Chen's opinion, with Haiyu's 2,000 county soldiers, how long can you defend this Daheng Island?" Lin Jian asked.

Xiao Tao is far from a variable; The 2,000 soldiers trapped in Crane City are a variable; With Qin Chengzu and Ning Zechen here, Lin Tie is not worried that Changshan Island will be lost, but there is no sign of the Flying Tiger Department going south, it should still be on Changshan Island, which is also a big variable - the situation in eastern Zhejiang has changed greatly, and even when the East Lu breaks through, there is still a greater crisis about to break out in the Central Plains, and Lin Tie wants to stabilize the situation in Chongzhou as quickly as possible to cope with the chaos in the world, so he must draw troops from Daheng Island to solve the three major variables that Chongzhou is directly facing.

Daheng Island is a strategic location, seeing that the situation in eastern Zhejiang is so changing, Lin Jian is even glad that Daheng Island was attacked one step earlier, and Chongzhou will become very passive because of the lack of strategic depth.

Without the protection of the strategic defense line of the Shengsi Islands, Chongzhou would be directly threatened by the main force of the East China Sea Kou and even the luxury family, how could he run Chongzhou with peace of mind? The luxury family will not give him the opportunity to run Chongzhou calmly.

Daheng Island cannot be lost, but it is contradictory to Lin Lian's desire to concentrate his forces to solve the other three major crises at the moment, so he wants to ask Chen Huawen and Chen Mingzhe to lead 2,000 Haiyu County soldiers to guard Daheng Island for a few days.

Seeing Chen Huawen's hesitation, Lin Jian said sincerely: "Daheng Island shelters the flank of Haiyu County, and it is also the outer line of Chongzhou, in the current situation, it must not fall into the hands of the luxury family - in addition to the three hundred remnants on the island, the luxury family can also see the strategic position of Daheng Island and Shengsi Islands, even if the situation in eastern Zhejiang is not stable, it is very likely to divide troops to seize this strategic location." If Master Chen is not completely sure, he must not be reluctant! ”

Chen Huawen saw that Lin Tie said sincerely, and thought that there was no need for Lin Tie to stay on Daheng Island to die in the current situation, and said: "I don't know the offensive and defensive situation of Daheng Island, so I don't dare to say anything......."

"Zhou Tong, you come to tell Master Chen in detail about the terrain of Daheng Island!" Lin Jian asked Zhou Tong to say that he originally wanted to stay with Zhou Tong and stay on Daheng Island, and among the generals, Zhou Tong was the most familiar with the terrain of Daheng Island.

Zhou Tong described the topography of the east and west of Daheng Island in general with Chen Huawen, and focused on describing the offensive and defensive situation at the northern foot of Jinji Mountain, and finally said: "At the entrance of the inner harbor, the dark piles were driven and the shipwrecks were closed, and there was no favorable terrain for a large-scale landing at the northern foothills. The headland fort and the northern foothill camp were repaired a little overnight and could be defended by the garrison. It is necessary to guard against the remnants of the Kou attacking from the dense forest at the northeast foothills, of course, the supporting Kou soldiers can also land on the beach from the East Peninsula and climb over the northeast slope of Jinshan Chicken; The other is that there is a big gap between the west beach and the north foothills......"

"You can ...... three to five days on Daheng Island," Chen Huawen said.

"That's three days." Lin Jian said.

Lin Tie didn't know that last night, Changshan Island ambushed all the troops, defeated the Luxury Flying Tiger Division, and the Luxury Flying Tiger retreated to the southwest beach, and also planned to take advantage of the night to go south today to grab the beach and land on the East Peninsula of Daheng Island - for Lin Tie, to relieve the difficulty of Changshan Island, and revitalize the elite of the secret camp of Changshan Island and the Fenglibu Battalion, the troops he can use will be much more abundant, counting the time, it is enough to come and go for three days. Xiao Taoyuan's variable still depends on Gu Wuchen's calculations in Jiangning.
