Lin Lian glanced up at Yue Lengqiu, from his wrinkles as deep as a dead tree, he couldn't tell whether his advice at this time was sincere or false, Yue Lengqiu was in a hurry to get out of Yuzhang was certain, who wanted to give someone else an uncertain future in their hands?

Similarly, in Yuzhang, Yue Lengqiu was involved in the military plane, and there was a limit to the military secrets he knew, and if he wanted to cover up Yue Lengqiu, he must first deceive Yue Lengqiu.

"If Nanyang wants to be defended, it is not appropriate to hold Liang Chengyi responsible for the defeat of Ruyang, but also to reassure him, Jiang Ning should send someone to Nanyang to show comfort, who does Lord Yue think is suitable?" Lin Jian asked Yue Lengqiu.

Yue Lengqiu thought that Lin Jian would not sit back and watch Nanyang fall, once Nanyang fell, Yanhu would be connected with Jinghu, and the rebels such as Haowenzhuang, Luo Xiancheng, and Chen Hansan would surrender Yan, so that Yanhu would have another 200,000 soldiers and horses available on the western front.

Although the situation of the luxury family and Luo Chen is becoming more and more clear, after all, Nanyang is divided, so that it cannot take care of each other, which is conducive to Huaidong's calm deployment and attack it.

Once the Jinghu rebels and Yanhu are connected, the problem will be extremely serious, and the military strength of Jinghu will once again develop in an unfavorable direction for Huaidong; Again, Yan Hu made the luxury family as the vanguard in Jinghu to contain a part of Huaidong's troops, and Yan Hu could even mobilize the main force of soldiers and horses, regroup to the eastern front, and attack Huaidong's defense line in Xuzhou.

At present, Huaidong has a heavy army under Xu Sibu, which can resist the impact of Yanhu's 100,000 heavy troops; Once Yanhu gathered more than 200,000 troops on the eastern front, or even 300,000, could Huaidong continue to hold on to the north bank of the Huai River?

Yue Lengqiu thought that it was very unlikely that he would go back to the Chizhou army directly, since Lin Jian would not sit back and watch Nanyang fall, and he would go to Nanyang by himself, which could be regarded as an explanation to the Queen Mother.

At present, the situation in Nanyang is most involved in the minds of the Queen Mother and Yuan Guizheng.

Yue Lengqiu pondered and said: "There are countless ministers around the privy envoy, and I have no good plans to contribute to staying in Yuzhang, but I am quite familiar with Huaixi and Nanyang, and I am willing to go to Nanyang." ”

Nanyang's defense, Huaixi is also very important, and Yue Lengqiu also needs to go on behalf of the center.

Lin Jian frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Lord Yue is willing to take this trip, that's the best." If you want to ask Jiang Ning for a decree, you can go to Luzhou first, and after you get the holy decree, you can go north. When Lord Yue arrives in Nanyang, he can tell the people in Nanyang: When Yuanzhou is finished, the Privy Council can still transfer 30,000 elites to the north in Jiangxi, and there is no need to worry about Yanhu being able to quickly fall into Nanyang......"

Zhou Tong led Tang Fuguan and Liu Zhenzhi to cross the river to Luzhou first, only 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Huaidong only had four town divisions in Jiangxi, with a full establishment of 60,000 people.

It's just that 60,000 soldiers and horses were seriously attrition during the Shangrao war, and they were not completely recuperated at this time, and they were scattered all over Jiangxi.

Yu Wencheng's department was in Jiangzhou, Chen Zhen's department was in Ganjiang, Zhang Gou's department went south from Fuzhou, attacked Shaowu unsuccessfully, and stayed in Yuzhang and Lin Bin's side of the soldiers and horses, only Zhang Jiheng's department and the cavalry camp Zhou Pu's department, but 14,500 people.

The situation in Jiangxi has been initially determined, but the hidden danger has not been eliminated, in addition to the luxury family and more than 10,000 remnants of the army to hold on to northern Fujian and not surrender, Huang Binghao is in Yuanzhou, dragged to this day, and has not yet negotiated the conditions for surrender.

If Yuanzhou Huang Binghao can rest assured and not make trouble, Lin Jian can at least quickly withdraw the two elites of Chen Yan and Zhang Jiheng from Jiangxi and transfer them to Luzhou to prepare for war. In this way, Lin Jian has 60,000 elite infantry and nearly 10,000 cavalry mobile troops in Luzhou, and he will be able to support Xinyang and Nanyang at any time, and the situation will become more optimistic, not as urgent as it is now.

It's a pity that Yuan Zhou is still unresolved to this day, which makes Yue Lengqiu wonder if Huang Binghao didn't have the sincerity to surrender from the beginning?

If after the Shangrao War, Lin Jian could grit his teeth, transfer the main force of the Huaidong Army to the west, and gather fifty or sixty thousand elites under Yuanzhou City, maybe Huang Binghao would be forced to surrender under pressure, and he would not fall into today's predicament.

Now that the Yanhu army is about to move south, Nanyang is in danger, Luo Xiancheng is also in a position to defect, and Lin Lian is eager to draw his troops out of Jiangxi to cross the river and go north - the current situation is more favorable for Huang Binghao, the further back it goes, the more favorable it is.

Huang Binghao can even not descend, occupying the wait-and-see situation in Yuanzhou, what can Lin Jian do?

Huaidong soldiers and horses can be said to be the strongest force in the world, and it is difficult to meet opponents in field battles, but siege and land grabbing are different from field battles.

From Yuzhang along the Yuan River to the west, the terrain is more dangerous the west, to the Yuanzhou area, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. No matter how big Lin Tie is, can he use 14,500 soldiers and horses to attack Yuanzhou Jiancheng, which is defended by 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses?

In Yue Lengqiu's opinion, Lin Jian was not decisive enough to ask him to mishandle Yuan Zhou. Of course, Yue Lengqiu hid these thoughts in his heart, and he would not say them unpleasantly.

Lin Jian didn't care what Yue Lengqiu was thinking, and asked him to go down to rest first and prepare for going north to Nanyang. Yue Lengqiu, as the privy deputy envoy, wanted to go north to Nanyang Xuanwei Lao Army, and had to ask Jiangning for orders, all of which were prepared by Gao Zongting, and the horses were sent to Jiangning, and Yue Lengqiu could wait for the decree after arriving in Luzhou.

After Yue Lengqiu left, Lin Tie changed a pair of maps and spread them on the long case, the map was the geography of the mountains and rivers around Yuanzhou, Lin Tie pressed his hand on the map, and said to Fu Qinghe and Gao Zongting: "I'm afraid that Huang Binghao is not greedy enough at this time!" ”

"Will Extravagant Wen Zhuang easily ask Huang Binghao to surrender us?" Regarding the question of whether Huang Binghao is greedy or not, Gao Zongting is even more affirmative, "The conditions that the lord promised him cannot be described as ungenerous, and he has no intention of immediately dismissing his military power, and he is allowed land and money, if he is patient and not greedy, how can he not respond to today?" ”

"Chen Zishou used to be a border general, and Bian Ce, the mastermind around Huang Binghao, was also an official in western Liaoning, and was affected by Chen Tangyi's defeat and deprived of his official position, so he returned to Jiangzhou and recruited Huang Binghao to be a staff member in the past," Fu Qinghe said, "Huang Binghao and Yan Hu should not have direct collusion, but under the influence of Chen Zishou and Bian Ce, between Huaidong and Yan Hu, he will inevitably be more optimistic about Yan Hu, not to mention that Luxury Wenzhuang crossed the river and fled north, and his heart to join Yan Hu is firm, why don't you want to try to drag Huang Binghao on the boat together?" ”

"I'm too worried about Yuan Zhou," Lin Jian said with a smile, "Since Huang Binghao doesn't want to be a man, he has to be a dog, in the current situation, how can he show his loyalty to the future master!" ”

If the matter in Yuanzhou is not solved well, Huaidong will have too many soldiers and horses to contain in Jiangxi.

In order to confront Yan Hu next, Lin Jian didn't even want to waste a single soldier.

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

One hundred and twenty miles south along the Ganjiang River from Yuzhang, that is, Qingjiang County (now Zhangshu City), the Yuan River flows into the Ganjiang River from the north of Qingjiang County; Along the Yuan River to the west, two hundred miles, that is, Yuanzhou City.

The counties of Xia Yuan, Xinyu and Yangle to the east of Yuanzhou City, including Qingjiang County, are all under the Yuanzhou Prefecture.

Lin Jian initially sent Gao Zongting to Yuanzhou to talk to Huang Binghao about the annexation, and Xu Huang Binghao kept 20,000 soldiers and horses to be responsible for the defense of the eastern part of Yuanzhou Prefecture, including Yuanzhou, Luxi, Shangsu Counties and other areas, which was precisely the area that Huang Binghao actually controlled at this time.

The counties of Xia Yuan, Xinyu, Yangle, and Qingle to the east of Yuanzhou City were separated and newly placed in Qingjiang Mansion, which was under the jurisdiction of Jiangxi Xingying.

As long as the two counties of Xia Yuan and Xinyu are cut out, and Huaidong picks up one of the cities to station three or five thousand elites, it can honestly stay in the upper reaches of Yuanshui, and there is no threat to Yuzhang below.

This plan is also the best plan to temporarily solve the problems left over from Jiangxi, which will not immediately touch Huang Binghao's authority, but also calm down the situation in Jiangxi. However, Huang Binghao was quite greedy and demanded to take the entire Yuanzhou as his own from the beginning.

Not to mention the three counties of Xiayuan, Xinyu and Yangle, Qingjiang County is located on the west bank of the Ganjiang River and is known as the thoroughfare of eight counties.

Zhang, Gong Ershui is the source of the Ganjiang River, and it is the mainstream of the Ganjiang River after the confluence in Ganzhou, giving birth to Ganzhou as the important place of Jiangxi Tangao. The Ganjiang River travels 800 miles to the north, and after converging with Yuanshui, the water potential suddenly opens. Qingjiang county is built in the place where the Ganjiang River and Yuan Shui meet, it can be said that it is the first important place in Jiangxi, and if the Qingjiang River is lost, then Ganzhou and Yuzhang can not take care of each other, and the contact is interrupted.

Huang Binghao wants to take Qingjiang County as his own, and his ambition is not only to divide the entire Yuanzhou, but actually wants to take the central and southern Gan regions south of Qingjiang County.

However, all the negotiations were asking for a sky-high price and paying back the money on the ground, Huang Binghao made such a condition at the beginning, and Yu Zhang did not believe it.

After all, after the Huaidong Army entered Jiangxi, Huang Binghao's troops and horses mainly gathered in Yuanzhou City. In addition to the following Yuan County as the outer defense line of Yuanzhou, Huang Binghao shouted loudly, but he did not dare to send troops to fight for Xinyu, Yangle, and Qingjiang counties under the nose of the Huaidong Army.

It is impossible for Lin to call Qingjiang County to Huang Binghao, Xinyu is an important town in the lower reaches of Yuanshui, from Xinyu to the east, the terrain is relatively easy, the road extends in all directions, the north can reach Yuzhang through Yangle, and the south can bypass the Qingjiang River and enter the southern Gannan region. If Huang Binghao has to go to Xinyu, the garrison pressure of Huaidong around Xinyu will be doubled - to this day, Lin Tie regressed and agreed to cede Xia Yuan County to Huang Binghao to occupy, but the bottom limit is that Qingjiang and Xinyu counties must be cut out: Qingjiang connects Ganzhou and Yuzhang, and the elite stationed in Xinyu can restrict Huang Binghao from coming out of Yuanzhou.

After the news of Liang Chengyi's abandonment of the river reached Yuzhang, Lin Jian immediately sent people to Yuanzhou again to inform Huang Binghao, Chen Zishou and others of the final surrender conditions, and also agreed to give Huang Binghao an additional 100,000 taels of silver every year to make up for Yuanzhou's lack of money and food.

However, Huang Binghao gathered nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses in the two cities of Xia Yuan and Yuanzhou, and neither divided his troops to fight for the two cities of Xinyu and Qingjiang, nor did he agree to the surrender conditions of the defense of the Lin Tie Division.

Because Xia Yuan had a condescending advantage over Xinyu, Lin Jian did not dare to rashly send troops to Xinyu before the conditions were negotiated. If the troops sent are too small, there is a worry that Huang Binghao will be eaten; Too many troops were sent, which affected the military deployment in the later period.

The matter of Yuanzhou is still dragging on there and cannot be resolved, and the two cities of Xinyu and Yangle are still empty.

It is said that it has been less than two months since Lin Jian entered Yuzhang, and the matter of Yuan Zhou has not been resolved by this time, and there is no delay in it. However, the situation in the north developed too quickly, especially the soldiers and horses in the river were defeated in Ruyang, the Cao family withdrew from Guanzhong, and the passage for Yanhu soldiers and horses to attack Nanyang in the south has been opened.

Nanyang also became precarious, Yanhu was about to join forces with the rebels of Jinghu, and the Huaidong soldiers and horses needed to immediately get out of Jiangxi and cross the river to the north, and the matter of Yuanzhou could not be delayed any longer.
