After discussing things, the night was not yet dark, Liang Wenzhan and Liu Tao left, and Lin Jian climbed the stairs.

Song Jia sat by the window, staring at the middle moon in the pond in front of the building, under the light green veil, her skin was snowy, like a crow's hair, she casually tied a ribbon behind her shoulder, revealing a beautiful and bright face.

This is just above the gazebo of the discussion just now, and there are cornices to block the view, but it does not prevent Song Jia from listening to the details of the deliberations in detail. Seeing Lin Jian coming upstairs, Song Jia sat up lazily, pushed the chess pieces on the table in front of him, and said, "It's boring left and right, can adults be in the mood to accompany the concubine to play a game of chess?" ”

"I'll come, I'll come," Xiaoman trotted out, she just accompanied Song Jia to eavesdrop here, Lin Jian and Liang Wenzhan discussed military and government affairs, it was very boring, and they couldn't make a sound, she heard it halfway, so she dozed off and ran away first, at this time, she heard Lin Jian come upstairs, get up from the couch, and regardless of her messy sideburns, she rushed to play against Song Jia, and said to Lin Lian, "I can't get off her alone, you have to help me...... You just talk to the young lady. ”

"Okay." Lin Lian smiled, sat down against the table, and Xiao Man snuggled in his arms, and he was the first to fall.

"You are too old," Song Jiayan smiled, stared at Xiao Man's beautiful and clean little face for a while, tilted her head slightly and asked Lin Lian, "I am very puzzled: why do you bear to leave Miss Su Mei in Jiangning and let this little girl come over and ride on everyone's heads?" ”

Lin Lian hugged Xiaoman's slender and soft waist, let her lean on her arms half-standing and half-sitting, sniffing the faint girlish fragrance coming from her, and just smiled faintly at Song Jia's question, and didn't say anything.

"The young lady is so smart, what else can you not guess?" Xiao Man was sharp-toothed, pampered and leaned on Lin Lian's arms, arguing with Song Jia.

"There are so many things I can't guess......" Song Jia picked up a chess piece and fell.

She has long seen that Xiaoman's identity is different, and Lin Jian is not the kind of person who is easy to confuse women, Xiaoman is just a beautiful maid, but she is more pampered than his wife Gu Junxun and Liu Yue'er, the concubine who gave birth to a son for Lin Bin.

From Xiao Man, he can think that Su Mei's identity is different.

With Lin Lian's power today, there is no difficulty in taking Su Mei as a concubine, but leaving Su Mei alone in Jiangning, there is naturally a secret behind it that is not humane.

Lin Jian refused to say it, and she didn't bother to guess, so she just provoked this matter and said, "For example, the adults are openly recruiting Liu An'er, but secretly stuffing Yue Lengqiu with a murderous blade, I can't guess this." I'm confused, keeping Yue Lengqiu and Chen Hansan really outweighs the disadvantages? ”

"The so-called gifting of sharp blades is just a helpless strategy," Lin Jian said, "Since the eastward advance of the exile army, the land of Huaisi has ten rooms and nine emptiness, and millions of corpses have been ambushed, and the disaster is very fierce. Even if the recruitment of security can be successful, how to settle the four or five hundred thousand displaced troops is still a difficult problem to solve......"

"You're even more afraid that Liu An'er is not an awaiting, right?" Song Jia said, "Even if Liu An'er accepts Zhao'an, it will only be a temporary lurk. Let him occupy Xuzhou, hibernate and recuperate for a year or two, 350,000 elite soldiers are fat and strong, and 450,000 brave men can be recruited at any time, which is really a big trouble. In comparison, it is still less disadvantageous to keep Yue Lengqiu and Chen Hansan......"

"Hundreds of thousands of lives, it's hard to lift a butcher's knife, it's really not what I want to kill," Lin Jian sighed slightly, but acquiesced to Song Jia's guess, "How do you say this Huaisi chaos can be solved?" ”

"What is my best solution? I'm just wondering, this plan is not in line with your nature, who is under your command? Song Jia asked.

"The chaos in the world is not as good as playing chess with this one. In the troubled times, you and I are just people who go with the flow. World chess is like this, I just follow the situation and keep Huaidong from military disasters, what is there to plan or plan? Lin Jian laughed and didn't say anything else.

Seeing that Lin Tie's mouth was very tight, Song Jia stopped asking questions. She talked to Lin Bin, distracted, and gave Xiaoman the advantage on the chess surface, and then concentrated on playing chess, recovering the disadvantage, Xiaoman abandoned the son and admitted defeat, and complained to Lin Bin, "I want you to help me, and I won for her......"

"Xiao Nizi is greedy, you have won a lot of things." Song Jia smiled, got up and said goodbye and went to rest.

Lin Jian patted Xiaoman's cheeks lightly and said, "Accompany me to send an old man away from Shanyang......"

"Who?" Xiaoman asked, "You have an old man in Shanyang, why don't I know?" ”

"You'll know when you go...... Lin Lian smiled, holding Xiao Man's tender little hand, and went downstairs.

Zhou Pu had already prepared a team of cavalry to wait outside the courtyard, Lin Jian stepped on the horse, pulled Xiaoman to sit on his side, and slowly rode through the ferry port in the north of Beicheng to the north of Shanyang County.

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

Not far from the water barracks, a two-masted sea ship stopped on the ferry, and Lin Tie dismounted in front of the ferry.

Gao Zongting was dressed in a green shirt, standing at the bow of the boat, and when he saw Lin Lian coming, he said with a smile: "I thought that the system made it impossible to get out of my busy schedule......

"The East China Sea is still stormy, Mr. Gao won't stay for a few more days before leaving?" Lin Lian took Xiaoman's hand and boarded the boat and saluted Gao Zongting.

"If you want to say that the wind and waves are evil, and the wind and waves in the north are even worse, how dare you stay for a long time?" Gao Zongting said with a smile, "Besides, Zhang Yan is going to come to Shanyang in the next two days, it's not good to bump into him." ”

Xiao Man had never seen Gao Zongting, but he also knew Gao Zongting's famous name, so he bowed and called lightly: "Concubine Xiao Man has seen Mr. Gao." ”

"It's a good fortune to make a system...... Gao Zongting and Xiaoman returned the salute, but made fun of Lin Bin.

Lin Jian smiled and said, "I am in the world, and I have no other wishes, but to protect the three or five people around me from the suffering of displacement." After Mr. Gao went back, he said to Li Shuai that the East was in danger, and it would be easier for the Central Plains to arrive. ”

"I hope so!" Speaking of this, Gao Zongting was also lacking in confidence, his expression darkened, and he said, "The king of captives and the envoy of the system are bright for a while, and the envoy really doesn't want to go out of the northern frontier of the town?" ”

Lin Jian shook his head and said, "I can't stand the wind and cold of cutting human bones in the northern Xinjiang......"

Gao Zongting saw that he couldn't persuade Lin to tie up, and said in frustration: "Chen Zhihu barely held Datong, but the northern Jin Dynasty was devastated, and I was afraid that the captives would break the siege and leave, and Chen Zhihu would not be able to sit on the seat of Datong town guard, and Li Shuai would break an arm in northern Xinjiang!" ”

"It is also the right thing for the eastern captives to break the siege and leave, and the imperial court to relieve Chen Zhihu of Datong and transfer him to the Central Plains to clear out the bandits. When the northern Xinjiang encounters military danger again, Li Shuai recommends Chen Zhihu to defend Datong again, and who will stop the imperial court? Lin Jian said.

"I hope so......" Gao Zongting said this sentence again, more helplessly.

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

Lin Tie took Xiaoman's hand and stood on the ferry to send Gao Zongting away, in the night, the brig was like an elf fighting the wind and waves on the mighty water.

"The person who the young lady couldn't guess was Mr. Gao?" Xiao Man lowered his head slightly and asked Lin Bin.

"Let's not be busy helping her solve the mystery first, let her suspect for a few more days." Lin Jian smiled slightly, admitted Xiaoman's guess, saw that the night was dark, and then picked her up and sat on the horse, and rode slowly towards the city.

Since Lin Shouhuai, he has been in contact with Li Zhuo. He originally hoped that Li Zhuo would persuade the imperial court to agree to secretly transfer the elite from Jibei to the south by sea, and the joint forces would inflict heavy losses on the Liumin army. However, the Dongyu Siege Datong did not go, and the imperial court did not dare to use this risky strategy, and Gao Zongting had secretly come to Huai'an for half a month.

Although Liu An'er will be forced to accept Zhao'an today due to the situation, his strength has hardly been substantially hit.

For Liu An'er, all he lacks is time and territory to recuperate. There are 200,000 soldiers and horses in his department, more than 40,000 elite soldiers, and 200,000 miscellaneous soldiers in Geping's department.

At this time, let him rest and recuperate in Huaisi, and give him a chance to make a comeback on another day, how to control him?

What's more, Liu An'er has always been disconnected from the luxury family. With Liu An'er's wariness of the imperial court, the possibility that he will be in the same breath as the extravagant family is far higher than that of him being loyal to the imperial court from now on.

After the loss of Shinshu, the passage from eastern Fujian to Jiangxi was completely cut off.

Yu Wangao did not want the whole army to be annihilated, so he was forced to lead his troops to withdraw from Jian'an Mansion and break through to the south. After crossing the mountains and mountains, he withdrew to Jieyang, the southernmost part of Dongmin County, and barely stood firm, and was unable to prevent the luxury family from connecting northern Fujian and southern Zhejiang.

Compared with the strength of the luxury family, the defense line established by Dong Yuan in northern Zhejiang is a little thin.

In time, once the army of the luxury family successfully breaks through the defense line established by Dong Yuan in northern Zhejiang, or invades Jiangxi on a large scale, will Liu An'er continue to hibernate?

With the disaster of Haozhou first, Lin Jian would not easily believe that Liu An'er was the kind of person who had the ambition to save the people from fire and water, Gao Zongting hoped that he could borrow a knife to kill people here, and Lin Jian agreed to push the boat along the way.

Lin Jian is sure to hit Chen Hansan's department hard, but under the current situation, what does it matter if Chen Hansan is left alive?

Chen Han was born in a third-rate horse, and at this time, he also had 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, of which seven or eight thousand elite soldiers could be relied on, and he could be regarded as a hero, but his reputation in the exile army was far from being comparable to Liu An'er.

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

Lin Jian and Xiaoman returned to the Love Garden, but they didn't expect the lights of the water pavilion to be extinguished, and Song Jia, who had said that she was going to rest, was still sitting in front of the window sorting out the chess pieces.

"Young lady, why haven't you rested yet?" Lin Jian raised his head and asked through the window.

"I heard that the adults were going to send people, I wondered who had such a big face to let the adults go out of the city at night to send them off," Song Jia said separately, "I think I understand, the adults don't want to raise the butcher's knife, but Li Bingbu is loyal to the imperial court, and he doesn't mind lifting this butcher's knife." I'm puzzled again, if the butcher's knife of the Li Bingbu is raised towards the Jiangdong Left Army in the future, how will the adults deal with themselves? ”

"Curiosity grinds people," Lin Jian smiled, "Why do you have so many doubts?" ”

"If it were someone else, he would never save Liu Tingzhou, so the concubine has such doubts."

"If I don't save myself when I die, how is it different from others?" Lin Jian asked rhetorically, "When it is the turn of the Li Bingbu to meet with my soldiers, the Yuan clan will have a Zhongxing atmosphere, the world is so big, how can there be no place for me to live?" I'm going to ask the other way, how will the young lady deal with herself then? ”

Song Jiafen blushed and said: "I'm just a prisoner in prison and a bird in a cage, what do I don't get along with myself - this topic is really boring, I knew it was like this, I didn't wait for you to get to this time." ”
