Chapter 62: Yue Lengqiu

On Chinese New Year's Eve, I wish my brothers and sisters a happy new year.

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

"Yue Lengqiu is a person who understands," Song Jiayi sat on the side ......of the case, looked at the letter sent by Tang Xitai overnight, and commented.

Although Yue Lengqiu intended to come to Yuzhang to discuss the defeat of Zongyang and the battle of Jinghu, the estrangement and obstacles to each other's status accumulated over the years actually made it impossible for Lin Lian and Yue Lengqiu to fully communicate.

Tang Xitai went to Yuzhang from Luzhou and walked with Yue Lengqiu, of course, it was out of Lin Bin's arrangement, that is, he intended to touch Yue Lengqiu's roots to decide whether the Chizhou army would go or stay. Tang Xitai accompanied Yue Lengqiu during the day, stayed at the post house at night, excerpted the daytime conversation, and sent a fast rider to gallop into Yuzhang and present it to Lin Bin.

Tang Xitai's secret letters are densely written about Yue Lengqiu's discussion of Yanhu, Song Jia read it with relish, and it can also be seen that Yue Lengqiu's deep insights into current affairs are really among the most important people in the world.

Yue Lengqiu's ability, Lin Lian has never denied it, Yue Lengqiu's deep insight into Yan Hu, he also gained a lot from the letter.

Yanhu has invaded the north for more than five years, Henan and Shandong have become a tug-of-war, and it is difficult to operate, but Yanhu is still quite effective in Jinzhong and Yanji's management, and Yanhu's military and political structure is very different from that of South Vietnam, making Yanhu's ability in military mobilization very prominent.

Yanhu gradually implemented the military household system in the north, but the military household system practiced by Yanhu was fundamentally different from the old system of the Yue Dynasty.

The old system of the Yue Dynasty was used by military households to use it for tuntian and conscription. The government allocates land to support military households, and military households cultivate and get food, and draw food for war defense. The military households of the Vietnamese Dynasty themselves had a low status, and in the later period, the military cantonments collapsed, and the military households were often oppressed by the double oppression of military service and hard labor, and they suffered unspeakably.

Yanhu military households, there are the main army households, deputy military households and attached households, the regular military households are often appointed by their own clan, the deputy military households are mostly attached to the Han army, and the attached households are the captives and the people of the north.

The regular army households are in charge of warfare, with the most fields, and can be cultivated by attached households; The deputy military households can plant their own fields, and the families have no surplus, and they can also make the attached households help with farming; The attached households were basically in the position of tenants and serfs.

Taking the Sumen case 20 years ago as a starting point, the Jingbei border army collapsed, and the land and millions of people in Liaodong were all returned to Yanhu.

At that time, because there was no large-scale surrender to the Han army, so there was only the difference between the military households and the attached households, after the Chentangyi War, Yanhu repeatedly invaded the border, all to take the captives as the key, in fact, it was to supplement the lack of attached households.

In the ninth year of Chongguan, he took about 400,000 Ding Zhuang from the three prefectures of Yannan at one time, including a large number of livestock.

It was precisely because of this special military and political structure that Yan Hu was able to raise his clan as a soldier before he invaded and occupied the northern land.

When Yanhu invaded Yanji and other places, a large number of Han troops were subordinated, and sub-military households (also known as Tiejun households) were added between the regular military households and the attached households to settle the Han army.

This kind of military household system, which is essentially different from the Yue Dynasty and similar to the military aristocracy, and the corresponding system of allocating land and attached households, first of all, has a certain role in promoting the recovery of production in the north, and more importantly, it has extremely high efficiency in military mobilization.

When the Yanhu soldiers were separated from production and were in charge of warfare, their own armor and family support could be derived from the exploitation of the attached households, and they did not have to rely entirely on the central finances.

"Yue Lengqiu, Zhang Xie and others have a deep understanding of Yanhu, but the deeper they understand Yanhu, the more difficult it is to get rid of the fear in their hearts. Therefore, when Liaoxi was in western Liao, Li Bingbu captured Songjiang City, but he still knew that he would be defeated if he advanced slowly, while Zhang Xie, Yue Lengqiu and others unrealistically wanted to defeat Yan Hu in one fell swoop......" Song Jia also analyzed Yue Lengqiu's mentality when Yan Ji collapsed from Tang Xitai's paraphrasing.

Before the collapse of Yan Ji, Li Zhuo led the Ji Zhen army to capture Songjiang City, although it was known afterwards that the loss of Songjiang City was Yan Hu's plan to lure the enemy, but if it could be deployed according to Li Zhuo at that time, the imperial court could still gain military superiority in Liaoxi. It was precisely the impetuousness of the government and the opposition that led to the collapse of the whole situation.

In the entire Jiliao war, it can be said that the Yanhu leadership has reached a height in the command of the war that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and it can also be said that the situation has reached that point, in fact, it is irretrievable, but Lin Jian reflected on this battle in the future, and still added Zhang Xie, Yue Lengqiu and others behind the scenes, so that Emperor Chongguan seized Li Zhuoshuai's position as the direct cause of Yan Ji's collapse.

This matter is also where Lin Lian's heart knot is in dealing with Yue Lengqiu at this time.

Lin Jian sighed slightly, and said, "It's a pity that it's an opportunistic ......."

In the ninth year of Chongguan, when Yan Jiqin was king, Lin Jian met Yue Lengqiu.

At that time, Yue Lengqiu supervised Dongmin, and was the official of the feudal territory, and Lin Jian was only appreciated by Li Zhuo and Gu Wuchen to fight the three thousand township troops, and the status of the two was very different, as if they were very different. At that time, Lin Lian and Yue Lengqiu both knew that Jinan was the main direction of attack for Yan Yu, but although Yue Lengqiu had elite Fujian soldiers, he did not dare to defend Jinan, and secretly promoted the division of Shao Wujun's army - from this incident, Lin Lian knew Yue Lengqiu's opportunistic temperament, and he was really not a gentleman with a high demeanor.

Song Jia knew about the grievances between Huaidong and Yue Lengqiu over the years, and it was not surprising that Lin Lian had such an evaluation of Yue Lengqiu, and said with a smile: "Yue Lengqiu should be like Chen Xiyan, he is a humble gentleman, and you will be happy when you meet?" "I also know that Lin Lian commented on Yue Lengqiu like this, and he also thinks that Yue Lengqiu wrote in the deep winter of the twelfth year of Chongguan that the war in Liaoxi suggested that Liaoyang should be taken directly, more out of a risky mentality.

Otherwise, Yue Lengqiu's intentions would be too deep and vicious.

In fact, after the collapse of the Northland, there was also a remark speculating that Yue Lengqiu had sinister intentions, pointing out that Yue Lengqiu hoped that the Northland would collapse so that he could control the South as the governor of Jianghuai at that time.

However, Yue Lengqiu's hesitation in supporting King Ning showed that he actually had no plan before and after the collapse of the Northern Land.

Lin Jian smiled bitterly.

The Chizhou army suffered such a crushing defeat in Zongyang, and it was not something that Lin Jian could have predicted in advance.

It was expected in advance that Yue Lengqiu was an opportunistic person and would not use his strength to prevent the remnants of the luxury family from crossing the river, but he did not expect that the Chizhou army would be so defeated on the north bank.

According to the previous plan, the Chizhou army was undefeated, and the Chizhou army was also called to attack the eastern Hubei to attack the flank of the luxury family after crossing the river, so as not to disperse the main force of the Huaidong army in Jinghu, but the Chizhou army was defeated in Zongyang, which made it difficult to implement the previous plan.

Even there are voices within the Huaidong Army, hoping to take this opportunity to completely defeat Yue Lengqiu, so that there is no possibility of recovery. Lin Jian weighed the pros and cons and made a decision, but it was Song Jia, Gao Zongting, and Song Fu from Jiangning who all suggested that Yue Lengqiu be left behind.

When the Chu Party was at its peak, it covered the sky with one hand in the government and the opposition. When Yan Ji collapsed, Zhang Xie surrendered to the enemy, and the Chu Party fell sharply, if it were not for Yue Lengqiu's meritorious service, it was powerful in Jianghuai at that time, and it was difficult to survive in the early years of Yongxing. When Liu Yefei was defeated and executed, Yue Lengqiu was implicated and resigned, and all the remnants of the Chu Party in Jiangning were expelled from the temple, and Yue Lengqiu's reputation among the scholars and forests fell to the lowest point.

In the later period, Lin Lian and Chen Xiyan both recommended Yue Lengqiu to reinstate Jiangzhou, because they saw that Yue Lengqiu was no longer able to compete with the temple, and his ability to know the army was very critical to the situation in Jiangzhou at that time.

During the war in Jiangning, on the surface, it seemed that Yue Lengqiu had not fought a battle, and he deliberately indulged Chen Zishou in his extravagance, but in fact, Yue Lengqiu still played a very important role.

If it weren't for Yue Lengqiu's tendency to lock the door in Chizhou, during the Jiangning War, Luwenzhuang might not easily give up Jiangning and not defend it; If it weren't for Yue Lengqiu's occupation of Chizhou to lock the western gateway of Ningning, even if Luwenzhuang abandoned Jiangning and did not defend it, retreated to Yijiang and advanced westward with the Huaidong Army in the direction of Jiuzi Mountain, the situation in the entire south of the Yangtze River would have become extremely complicated.

Recommending Yue Lengqiu to supervise Jiangzhou, Lin Jian also boasted that he was quite proud of his clever moves in his lifetime, so naturally he would not ignore Yue Lengqiu's role in the Jiangning War.

When Lin Jian wanted to completely recover Jiangxi, he also relied on Yue Lengqiu to defend the western gateway of Ningxi in Chizhou, so that he could transfer the main force of the Changshan Army from Yijiang South to participate in the battle, otherwise it would be difficult for the Huaidong Army to form a military advantage in Shangrao.

In fact, while considering that Yue Lengqiu and other vassals were disrespectful, defensive and restrained to Huaidong, it was also necessary to see that they also made great contributions to Huaidong.

At present, if the Chizhou army is completely disbanded, it means that Huaidong will have to invest an additional 30,000 to 40,000 troops in the eastern Hubei region, which will disperse Huaidong's current troops, and it will not be conducive to Huaidong's concentrated use of troops in other places.

Secondly, the complete suppression of Yue Lengqiu is not conducive to the division of Huaixi.

The soldiers and horses of the Huaixi are the most powerful in Tao Chun's department.

Tao Chun was also born in the Eastern Fujian Army, but when he broke with Lu Jingyan in Jinan, he was spurned by the generals of the Eastern Fujian Department, but Tao Chun was only valued by Yue Lengqiu, and it was also with the support of Yue Lengqiu that Tao Chun finally mastered the Changhuai Army and went out of the town of Wuyang at this time.

Yue Lengqiu's influence on Tao Chun actually went deep into the generals of the former Changhuai Army.

Due to the existence of Yue Lengqiu, Dong Yuan could not completely win over and digest Tao Chun's department, and once Huaidong took advantage of the defeat of Zongyang to completely suppress Yue Lengqiu, it would prompt Tao Chun to completely throw himself into Dong Yuan.

After the disbandment of the Chizhou Army, a large number of generals, including Deng Yu, Yue Zhi and others, were difficult to use in Huaidong, and were more likely to flow to Huaixi.

At this time, leaving Yue Lengqiu is actually dividing the trend of Huaixi, and you can't simply worry that Yue Lengqiu will control Huaidong.

At this time, leaving Yue Lengqiu can also calm the heart of Jinghu Lake, so that it can defend Jingzhou with all its might. It was Yanhu who borrowed Xiangyang to go south, and Jingzhou was still a key place related to the overall situation. Jingzhou is not lost, even if Yanhu occupies most of Jinghu, it will not be able to fully grasp the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

If the cruel and ruthless suppression of Yue Lengqiu at this time makes Hu Wenmu worry about the death of his lips and teeth, when the Yanhu army goes south to Jinghu and the power makes Jinghu difficult to stop, Hu Wenmu may not have the heart to hold on and not surrender.

Leaving Yue Lengqiu, the most important thing is to hide from the sky and cross the sea, to use Yue Lengqiu to hide people's eyes, and also to completely confuse the luxury family for Huaidong's next military action.

Of course, Song Fu, Gao Zongting, and even Song Jia and others have another thought, that is, Yue Lengqiu is not a high-spirited person who would rather die than give in, it is precisely his opportunistic nature that makes Song Fu and others see that Yue Lengqiu has the possibility of winning over Huaidong.

Therefore, Lin Tie didn't like Yue Lengqiu's opportunistic temperament, but Song Jia hated Lin Tie for being cheap and behaved.

Yue Lengqiu wants to follow Gao Feng Liangjie, Jie Zhen Zhiming, and he is a complete royalist, so there is no doubt that even if the strategy of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea does not work, he must take this opportunity to completely suppress him.

It is precisely because Yue Lengqiu has the possibility of winning over Huaidong, and it will also involve the disposal of Huaixi forces in the future, and the opinion of Gao Zongting and others is to let go of the defeat of Zongyang and not pursue it, and ask Yue Lengqiu to lead the Chizhou army to cross the river and enter Huangmei. Only in this way can the main force of the Changshan Army stay in Jiangxi, and Lin Jian transfers the Chongcheng Army to Luzhou to rest, so that it can look seamless and make the enemy unalert.

Thinking about things and having a headache, Lin Jian was inevitably distracted, and pulled Song Jia to sit in his arms.

Song Jia looked at the doors and windows without hiding, and sat in Lin Lian's arms half-pushing, but pressed his hand not to let him touch him, and asked him to get down to business first.

The clothes were light and thin, next to Song Jia's smooth and slightly cool skin, Lin Jian looked at the official letter at will, but it was very fragrant.

At this time, Zuo Yan pushed the door in, saw the fragrance in the room, blushed prettyly, and said: "There is another letter from Luzhou," handed over a stack of letters, and whispered, "In broad daylight, adults and ladies should also pay attention to the influence ......of intimacy" turned around and went over, to help Lin Jian and Song Jia cover the doors and windows, so that they could have fun during the day.

Song Jiafen's face was slightly red, and she scolded with a smile: "Dead Nizi, I ate the marrow last night, and I came to arrange it today, right?" After a long time, I am also tired, so I will wait for you to wait for the adults to read the official letter. ”

Song Jia propped up her body to stand up, Lin Jian put her hands around her soft waist, Song Jia's body was weak and weak, and she fell into Lin Lian's arms again. Plump and glamorous, sitting between Lin Lian's abdomen and thighs with his buttocks through his light clothes, the big insect under Lin Lian moved stupidly, and he stood angrily in a few breaths, and his heart trembled against Song Jia's soft body.

"......" Song Jia pinched Lin Lian's thigh, her eyes were resentful, and she wanted to ask Lin Lian to save her some face in front of the maid. Lin Jian just shouted to cover the doors and windows to go out Zuo Yan: "Yan'er, you come to help Mrs. ...... clothes"

The Zuo sisters followed Song Jia to the south to serve Lin Tie, and the joy of sex naturally got a share of the soup, no longer knowing the joy of men and women, and often replaced Song Jia when his physical strength was exhausted, so that Lin Tie enjoyed the blessings of all people.

Although Zuo Yan was shy, he also listened to Lin Yan's order and came over to help.

Song Jia couldn't bear to be ravaged by Lin Jian in front of the maid, so when Zuo Yan came over, he tied her hands and stripped her skirt, and scolded with a smile: "Dead Nizi, punish you to sit over and serve the adult...... Lift her skirt, peel off the silk pants, reveal the white buttocks like snow, and let her sit down......
