Although Jinan City is the capital of Shandong, in terms of the prosperity of the town and the export of commodities, it is not as good as the Linqing City where the Yellow River meets (the Yellow River intersects with the Caoluwei River and the Tonghe River), the Caoliang Transmission Channel, and the throat of the north-south exchange, and is even slightly inferior to the Jining and Dezhou cities located on the Cao Road, and it cannot be compared with the commercial capitals such as Jiangning, Weiyang, and Lin'an in the south.

Lin Jian arrived at the outer city of Jinan surrounded by more than 100 cavalry, looking at the rammed earth version of the earth-brown outer city wall, some of the vines and grasses that climbed down from the city have withered, as if integrated into the city. There is no moat in the city, the height of the city is only more than a zhang, the city gate is a single-type iron-clad wooden door, and the edge edge that is exposed has traces of decay. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jinan has not experienced any major wars, and it is inevitable that the repair of the city and the repair of war equipment will be slack.

When Lin Jian entered the city, he could already feel the oppression and coldness of the future war in the city, refugees from the north were constantly pouring into the city, and the number of patrolmen at the city gate and on the street was far more than the number of guards on weekdays, and the identity of Lin Jian and others was also extra careful.

Although as far as the imperial court is concerned, it is still a little unclear about the direction of movement of the main force of the Eastern Prisoners, and it is more inclined to think that the main forces of the Eastern Capture will march west into Jinzhong, but as an aspect of the possible invasion of the main force of the Eastern Capture, Shandong has already been under great pressure.

If Dongyu comes to Shandong, he will attack Jinan.

In terms of the situation in Shandong, Jinan is the most important, north of the Yellow River, south of Mount Tai, the land of the three water and land metropolises, the west can not Jinan no ambition to Linzi, the north can not Jinan no question in Huaisi. If Dongshan and Jinan are captured, the whole territory of Shandong will become a piece of loose sand, and it will not hinder its cavalry from plundering the east and west of the prefectures and counties in Shandong; Otherwise, when the Dongyu cavalry enters Shandong, Jinan will be like a thorn in its back.

Shandong Xuanfu envoy Naiyue Lengqiu in the same year Jinshi, with this relationship, more than 10,000 Eastern Min Qin Wang Shi was able to enter the highland in the southwest corner of the city. After Li Zhuo left Dongmin, the imperial court sent elite soldiers from Dongmin to support the northern front, but also left a lot of elite soldiers in Dongmin.

"Yue Lengqiu will transfer all the elite soldiers, so he is not afraid that the luxury family will take advantage of the emptiness of the defense of Eastern Fujian and raise troops to fight again?" Lin Mengde asked in a suppressed voice.

Lin Lian came over to meet Yue Zhiqiu, and in addition to making Ao Canghai lead a sentry team of 180 cavalry to follow the guard, he brought Ao Canghai and Lin Mengde alone.

"The luxury family has been fighting in Eastern Fujian for ten years, and they are already unable to negotiate peace. It has only been a year for the soldiers to disarm and return to the fields and recuperate, and then they suddenly lose their trust and raise troops, which will cause great damage to the prestige of the luxury family itself and the morale of the army, and the controversy within the eight families of Eastern Fujian will be great. In addition, even if the luxury family hastily raises troops, the possibility of rushing out of Eastern Fujian by land is still extremely small," Lin Jian squinted at the shining military camp against the sun, and said, "Yue Lengqiu is also a person who knows the military affairs and the situation, and it is somewhat ......certain that he can get out of Eastern Fujian."

Lin Tie and they stopped far outside the camp gate, and the guards took his name card and went over to post it, and after a while, a lieutenant in his early thirties wearing a military uniform greeted him. Among the three of Lin Tie, Ao Canghai, and Lin Mengde, Lin Tie is the youngest and quite easy to recognize, and the school captain saluted directly towards Lin Tie with his fists: "Yue Zhi, the captain of the Yaying Camp of the Governor's Mansion of Dongmin, has seen Lord Lin, you can follow me to see Yue Shuai......"

"General Yue is polite......" Lin Tie hugged his fists and saluted back, he didn't know that Yue Lengqiu's personal commander Yue Zhi was also surnamed Yue, most of them were Yue Lengqiu's sons and nephews, seeing that he was about thirty years old, with a strong figure, a broad red face, slender eyes but very spirited, wearing armor, not talking much, but his demeanor revealed the style of a scholar.

Lin Jian made Ao Canghai, Lin Mengde and the guards and cavalry go to the camp to rest with the people sent by Yue Zhi, and he went to the big tent alone to meet Yue Lengqiu.

After the defeat of the officers and soldiers Chen Tangyi, the northern defense line of Montenegro and Jinzhou collapsed, and the Dongyu cavalry directly threatened Gyeonggi.

At that time, with Yue Lengqiu's contribution to stabilizing the Yanbei defense line and the Chu Party's power in the center, Yue Lengqiu could have been appointed as the governor of Jixuan and was responsible for the eastern theater of the Yanbei defense line.

At that time, the situation in Eastern Fujian had stabilized, and Yanbei had become the center of gravity of the imperial court's defense, but Yue Lengqiu was willing to go to Eastern Fujian to pick up Li Zhuo's favors, and did not want to stay on the more important northern front, probably because he saw the fragility of Yanbei's defense line and did not want to take responsibility.

It is precisely like this, not only does Yue Lengqiu not need to be involved, but the Chu Party is also convenient to shirk responsibility, and it can also take the opportunity to suppress the noble forces in charge of the Yanbei defense line.

Lin Jian guessed like this, he didn't have a good impression of Yue Lengqiu, maybe he had some ability, but he was more keen on political speculation.

"Hahaha, it is really a talent, Wuchen is a student, and he should be worthy of it......" Yue Lengqiu was convening the generals in the tent, and saw Yue Zhi leading Lin into the camp tent, greeted him warmly, and introduced the generals of Eastern Fujian to him. Yue Lengqiu brought a town guard officer and five deputy generals with a total of more than 12,000 soldiers and horses, and the generals in the account were all generals above the battalion captain, and the lowest was also the rank of Zhaowu captain.

Although Lin Jian said that he had been promoted one level on the march, he was now a seven-rank Xuande Lang scattered official and a seven-rank supervisor officer, but in the tent of the governor of Eastern Fujian where the generals gathered, it still looked bleak, except for Yue Lengqiu's eagerness, the other generals of the Eastern Fujian army were quite cold.

Lin Lian didn't mind, he clasped his fists and saluted, Yue Lengqiu gave him a seat and sat down, waiting for Yue Lengqiu to tell him something.

"I know that you are familiar with military affairs, and we are discussing the disaster of the Eastern Captives, so you don't need to see outside," Yue Lengqiu beckoned Lin Tie to sit down beside him, and said, "You listen to our deliberations, and if you have any opinions, please give me advice, don't have any reservations." ”

"Don't dare to be, Lin Lian's knowledge is really shallow." Lin Lian said, no matter what, Yue Lengqiu still felt very useful when he spoke with such a posture of a second-grade feudal official, but he was still vigilant in his heart. Although he is from the same Chu Party, he is a guest general after all, and it will be very tiresome to casually intervene in the deliberations of the Eastern Fujian Army for no reason. Before he entered the tent, he heard a controversy in the room.

Lin Jian thought to himself: Yue Lengqiu only entered Dongmin in late April to serve as the governor, and in less than seven months, I am afraid that he has not surrendered all the brave generals and officers in the Dongmin army with outstanding military achievements. Although Yue Lengqiu is the governor, the generals are united to confront him, and he is helpless.

Obviously, Li Zhuo's original subordinates were resentful of the imperial court's cold treatment of the old marshal Li Zhuo, and the dismantling of the Eastern Fujian army, which was not so easy to surrender.

Sure enough, Yue Lengqiu judged that the main force of the Eastern Capture would enter Jinzhong in the west, and thought that the Eastern Min Qin Wang Division should leave Jinan immediately, and go west through Liaocheng and the northeast of Zhongzhou to aid Jinzhong. The generals of the Eastern Min Qin Wang Division, led by Lu Jingyan, the main general of Shaowu Town, believed that the main force of the Eastern Captives would enter Shandong in the south, and they should assist the local Shandong garrison to prepare for the captives......

"Lin Dujian is good at knowing the military affairs, which side do you think the main force of the Eastern Capture will deviate to?" Yue Lengqiu squinted his eyes, and he was not annoyed that the generals were refuting him in front of outsiders, and he also asked Lin Lian's opinion gently.

Lin Lian's back twitched, knowing that Yue Lengqiu would definitely not be as kind as he seemed on the surface, most of them were characters with a knife hidden in his smile and Yue Buqun.

Yue Lengqiu most likely also judged that the main force of the Eastern Capture would enter Shandong in the south, but he was unwilling to take the risk of defending Shandong for the Lu people, so he wanted to immediately move west and turn towards Jinzhong, so as to miss the main force of the Eastern Cavalry. Even if Shandong loses in the future, he does not need to be responsible, after all, he is actively "marching", and maybe he will pick up some achievements to put on a façade after entering Jinzhong.

The generals of Eastern Fujian have been promoted one after another after ten years of war in Eastern Fujian and the accumulation of military exploits, even if they are no longer under the command of Li Zhuo, but their ambition and arrogance will not fade easily, and they regard themselves as elite, since they believe that the main force of Eastern Fujian will enter Shandong in the south, they want to help defend Shandong to obtain more military achievements.

Under the surface of the discord between the generals and commanders of the Eastern Fujian Army, there is a fundamental difference between Yue Lengqiu's speculation and war avoidance and the main battle of the generals.

Lin Jian pretended to ponder for a while, and only said: "My knowledge is really shallow, seeing that there is a possibility for the east to go west, and there is also a possibility to go south, which is higher, I can't judge." I have been stationed in Wohu Mountain for nearly half a month, and in the past three or five days, I have no contact with Jiangdong Shuai, dare to ask Yue Shuai, what is the latest instruction from the imperial court to all kinds of diligent kings? ”

"There is also controversy between the DPRK and China, and it is only rumored that the Zhulu Qin Wang Division should actively seek the enemy to fight......" Yue Lengqiu couldn't see Lin Lian's posture, thinking that he was really not a simple person, and he couldn't be taken lightly.

Lin Jian scolded secretly in his stomach, the thief's.

The main battle between the DPRK and China, the main and the two factions, secretly clashed endlessly, and the main forces of the Eastern Capture were inclined to be unclear in their judgment, and they also made the Zhulu Qin Wang Division separate from each other. Mingli sent a message to the armies to actively seek out the enemy and fight, but he did not send envoys to the governor Zhu Lu Qin Wang Division to unify the command of the battle against the enemy. Since there is no need to take any responsibility, especially after Yang Zhaoqi dies on the battlefield, how many people will fight hard with the Dongyu cavalry? In fact, the central government still has the intention of negotiating peace, but if it is delayed in this way, it will only cause the situation in Shandong to completely erode. Even if there is a desire to negotiate peace, there must be capital to negotiate peace, where can you negotiate peace with the enemy without fighting or winning a war?

What a bunch of rotten trees in the temple!

The ministers in the court were so unbearable, and judged that Yue Lengqiu was just an opportunistic politician, Lin Lian's heart was already extremely cold, and he sat there respectfully, like a piece of rotten wood.

At this time, there were heralds in the tent camp to pay respects, and the Lu Wangfu sent people to invite Yue Lengqiu, Lu Jingyan and others to the Yamen of the Admiral's Mansion to discuss matters.

Wang Fan was not allowed to interfere in local military and political affairs, but there was no official with a higher rank than Yue Lengqiu in the Shandong County Division, and the promotion of King Lu was a sign of respect for Yue Lengqiu, a guest general. Besides, King Lu is a distant cousin of today's saint, and bringing out King Lu can also morally restrain the guest soldiers, but the deliberations still have to go to the Governor's Mansion, and the main personnel are still the officials of the Shandong County Division.

In addition, the Shandong County Division also knew that Lin Jian had entered the city, and the people who came also invited Lin Jian to go to the Yamen of the Admiral's Mansion to discuss matters.

Lin Bin's official position is not high, but after all, he is the representative of Jiangdong Qinwang's division in Jinan Mansion, and he actually has more than 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command, so he is qualified to participate in a meeting of this level.
