Su Pinxiao and Chen Huazhang landed on the shore, bowed their heads, and shouted in their mouths: "Cao Min Su Pinxiao, Chen Huazhang, knock on the ...... of Pengcheng County" What is done at this moment is the courtesy of the main minister.

Chen Huawen was shocked, thinking that the eldest brother would perform the courtesy of the lord and minister in broad daylight, and clearly recognized Lin Jian as the lord, and he would not be able to deny it in the future, so there would be no turning back when he opened the bow, but when he thought about Su Pinxiao's self-title, he also felt that the eldest brother really had no choice.

Su Pin Xiaoben was the deputy general of the Hanghu Army in front of the Imperial Palace, and the commander of the Hanghu Army and the Navy. At this time, Su Pinxiao was incompetent and claimed to be a grass citizen, so he naturally intended to accept Huaidong's incorporation of the Bai Nao Army.

Su Pin was filial to Huaidong, but the department remained independent and was not fully incorporated into the Huaidong Military Division, so the Chen family could also maintain a relationship with Huaidong. Now that the remnants of the Bai Nao Army have completely accepted Huaidong's incorporation, can the Haiyu Army still ask to maintain its independence? What other options does the Chen family have?

Will it be after the Huaidong soldiers and horses completely occupy Jiangning?

Chen Huawen saw that there were no other representatives of the big clans who came with his eldest brother and came by boat, and that the official gentry of Huzhou were also perfunctory in dealing with the crossing of Huaidong soldiers and horses, so he knew that most people still couldn't see the situation clearly.

At this time, it is no longer the time for Lin Tie to rise suddenly, Lin Tie's foundation in Huaidong is already thick, and eastern Zhejiang, Mindong, Xu Si and other places are also included in the Huaidong forces, and even if Huaidong forcibly occupies the land south of the Yangtze River to digest it at this time, it is not a difficult thing.

If Lin Jian really enters Jiangning City, and then succumb to the situation and surrender to the people, the sacrifice will definitely be much greater than now.

Although Lin Tie didn't see others, Su Pinxiao and Chen Huazhang came to greet him, so he was satisfied, and said: "How dare Lin Tie be this gift? General Su and Chen Gong quickly asked ...... "He didn't have a photo with Chen Huazhang, but he didn't introduce him, and at this time, he had to introduce Song Fu and Zhou Tong behind him for Chen Huazhang and Su Pinxiao."

Song Fu and Chen Huazhang saluted each other, looked at Chen Huazhang, his appearance was older than his age, and he wanted to come to the Chen family for two years. I thought that Chen Mingzhen had been hiding since he left Xiaoshan, and now that Lao Tzu is in the middle of the day, can his son still escape?

Chen Huazhang also looked at Song Fu, Song Fu became famous especially early, but looking at his appearance less than fifty years, he really couldn't understand how he cultivated himself in Quanzhou, maybe Song's surrender to Huaidong was decided early, so he didn't worry about Huaidong's disturbance of the eastern coast of Fujian in the past two years?

At least before the Mindong War, because Mindong was the foundation of the Eight Clans, almost everyone thought that Huaidong would pay a heavy price if it wanted to conquer Mindong. If this is the case, and Xie Chaozhong can win victories in western Zhejiang and train the imperial army, it will be possible for Emperor Yongxing to restrict Huaidong's military power - could it be that Huaidong delayed the news of the Song family's annexation until the last minute to make it public, in addition to strictly guarding secrets, there is also deliberately inducing Emperor Yongxing to make a mistake in judging the army?

After the capture of Huizhou, Chen Huawen couldn't sit still in Haiyu and rushed to Jiyang to watch the situation, so he knew that the news of Jiangning was more timely and smoother, and he also knew all kinds of changes in Jiangning City and the palace before Emperor Yongxing abandoned the city.

What finally prompted Emperor Yongxing to leave the city to the west was Wang Xueshan's claim that Huaidong had brought King Lu into the military camp.

Whether King Lu gave Huaidong access to the military camp, Chen Huazhang does not know, but Lin Tie visited the Hailing Mansion before the southern expedition to Mindong, and then directly asked the Huaidong Military Division to take over the internal and external defense of the Hailing Palace, which is not a top secret - Lin Tie and Huaidong's behavior seems to be understandable, but it is impossible for Emperor Yongxing to look at these things calmly.

Some things are about luck, from insisting on sending Xie Chaozhong to lead the troops to western Zhejiang, to the destruction of the main force of the Hanghu Army in Liyang, until he abandoned the city and fled west, Emperor Yongxing has almost lost all his luck.

After Lin Jian recaptured Jiangning, he asked Emperor Yongxing to return the capital to Jiangning, and Dong Yuan may not dare to stay in Huaixi.

In the past, Lin Jian did not dare to directly abolish Emperor Yongxing, but at this time, with the decree of the Empress Dowager Liang, he abolished Emperor Yongxing and established King Lu, but he was afraid that there would be no too strong opposition in the world.

Now all these speculations are not important, Chen Huazhang sighed lightly in his heart, and this sigh in his heart was like clouds and smoke in the distant sky.

The remnants of the former dynasties such as the Luxury Song Dynasty who fled to Mindong, even after the annexation to the Yuan clan, had a strong sense of insecurity in their hearts, which made the clan have a strong cohesion and a desire to support more martial arts. This is also the root and foundation of the later Ba Min rebellion, and it also made a large number of loyal generals emerge after the rebellion of the eight surnames.

And the Jiangnan clans mostly worship literature and suppress martial arts, and it is precisely the children of the Jiangnan gentry who can enter the official career through the imperial examination relatively smoothly. Even a big clan like the Chen family, which owns thousands of acres of land and has more than 10,000 tenants under its jurisdiction, does not have much thirst for force. After the East China Sea was prosperous, in order to defend the township and protect the land, the Chen family took the lead in forming the Haiyu Army, but most of the generals were from the bottom, not from the clan, in fact, the Chen family's grasp of the Haiyu Army was still very limited.

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

Lin Lian said that Zhou Pu led the light cavalry and Tang Fuguan's headquarters should not exceed fifty miles, Zhou Pu first agreed, but after leaving Deqing last night, he took advantage of the night to rush in, leaving only two sentry cavalry for Tang Fuguan as a guide, in his words, as long as there are cavalry and Tang Fuguan are not far from fifty miles, it cannot be regarded as a violation of the order.

Zhou Pu divided the remaining eight outposts into eight teams and stretched along the southern foot of the Xiling Mountains.

This is Zhou Pu's tactics when they were horse thieves, there are mountain trails, a small group of cavalry three or five horsemen also broke in, infiltration, spying, vigilant and bold, a large force of cavalry along the avenue to the west, the outpost is not sent, directly to the periphery of Liyang.

Although there are many low ridges between Xiling and Fuyu Mountain, there is no dangerous place that cannot be entered and exited, and only by quickly inserting forward can the left wing of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army leave the warning net on the periphery of Liyang to be smashed defenselessly.

In Zhou Pu's view, the biggest special thing about cavalry is that it is flexible and mobile, and it is most suitable for encounters. Sending out outposts, although they can buy themselves time to adjust their troop deployment after encountering the enemy, actually leaves the enemy time to shrink the defensive line and wait for reinforcements.

As long as the flanks are safe, and the front can collide with the infantry in front of the left wing of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army, Zhou Pu will have the pleasure of earning, and he is not afraid of danger at all.

The general deployment of the soldiers and horses on the left wing of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army was still clear to Zhou Pu.

In the upper reaches of the Shahe River and the southwest foot of Xiling, the left flank of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army was mainly concentrated in the low ridge area around Yaojiachong and Qiantang.

Although there is no so-called dangerous place of "one man is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open" when they come down from Ningguo, if the Huaidong Army wants to advance north, it must make a big bend at the southwest foot of Xiling.

The left wing of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army was stationed along the Xiling Ridge, as if a sharp and shining cold light, piercing the vast plain outside the southwest foot of the Xiling Ridge, staring at the flank of the main force of the Huaidong Army to the north.

If it was not detoured from the plain at the southwest foot of Xiling, the Huaidong Army could directly cross Xiling and go north, from Jingyi and Liyang to the north.

Although Xiling is not very dangerous, there are also several mountain roads through it, but Xiling stretches for nearly 100 miles from east to west, and about 50 miles from north to south, and the mountains are continuous.

The main goal of Zheng Mingjing's left flank was to buy more time for the center and the right flank.

Zheng Mingjing learned that the Huaidong soldiers and horses, who had not passed through Hangzhou Mansion for four or five days, suddenly launched at night after resting yesterday afternoon, and knew that the Huaidong Army had finally moved.

In order to be more threatening, he transferred 2,000 soldiers from the Yaojiachong battalion, divided into two teams early in the morning of the 28th, marched to the low ridge in the south, and made a gesture of interception.

In Zheng Mingjing's view, no matter how bold and reckless the Huaidong Army is, it will inevitably shrink its defensive position and slow down its marching speed when approaching, and will not easily expose its flanks to the sharp spears of the left flank of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army.

However, at the corner of the day, Zheng Mingjing, who had just led his troops to Hetang, listened to the heavy and dense sound of horses' hooves galloping from a distance, and everyone's faces changed: the Huaidong army did not send a single outpost scout, and a large force of cavalry directly collided with it.

After a moment's hesitation, he saw the moving horsemen, as if a black tide was rushing up to the opposite ridge.

At first glance, it seemed that the enemy was several times his own, and Zheng Mingjing dared to stay in battle, holding the reins, and fled back with his cavalry.

Changing to someone else, or thinking that this was a suspicious soldier, or worrying that there was an ambush in front of him, Zhou Pu touched the cold hood under the cold wind, and shouted in a deep voice: "The sons and daughters of the first battalion, change horses and kill the enemy, your war knives should drink blood!" ”

Huaidong did not have the conditions to equip the cavalry with two war horses, so when he was in a hurry, he rode a walking horse, and the tall and mighty war horse accompanied him, and he did not ride when he was chasing the enemy or rushing to kill.

Zhou Pu said "change horses", and the six hundred armored light horsemen who were at the forefront changed into war horses, and the war knives were unsheathed, and the snow reflected the remnants of the snow at the head of the distant ridge, which was murderous.

Zhou Pu asked Zhao Bao and others to restrain the rest of the army, and the queen of the palace slowly followed, and he personally led more than 600 horsemen to chase down in a conical formation.

More than 800 riders, between the low ridges and plains of Hetang, as if the two tides of black and brown are spreading all over the world, and the horse's hooves are thundering, shouting to kill the sky.

The Zhejiang-Fujian army itself lacks a powerful war horse with good sprint power and long-range endurance, Zheng Mingjing as a general, the personal guard and the horse are only one person and one horse, and they have walked for a long time, which is not as powerful and fast as the new horsepower that the Huaidong cavalry has just replaced.

I'm afraid that I can't wait to connect with the infantry formation in the rear, and I want to catch up with the Huaidong cavalry, Zheng Mingjing is a member of the personal guard general gritted his teeth and grabbed the reins with great strength to stop the horse, leading the fierce horse to neigh in pain, and said sadly: "The general remember not to lose my wife and the three children!" Tie turned back with the horse's head and shouted, "The scar on the head is broken and the bowl is big, so that Huai Dong'er knows that the soldiers of Fujian are all ...... who are not afraid of death" Immediately, more than a dozen horsemen broke away from the team and rushed back.

Zheng Mingjing endured his sorrow, he never expected that the outpost cavalry of the Huaidong Army would be so brutal, in the final analysis, he still lacked the experience of fighting with the Huaidong Army on the ground. Zheng Mingjing only knew that he couldn't die, and if he died here, what would happen to the 20,000 children of the left wing? This brave general of Fujian, at this time, was also grasped by fear, and desperately whipped the horsewhip and fled north.

Seeing that there were dead soldiers rushing back, Zhou Pu was so excited that he shouted: "Yellow sheep, there is a big fish in front of you, you give Lao Tzu more strength, if the first dozen enemies in front of you block Lao Tzu's way, Lao Tzu will unscrew your head ......" More than two hundred horsemen, more than a dozen people rushed back desperately when they fled, and more than a dozen horsemen stopped, waiting for the dead soldiers to block them, no matter how you look at it, you know that they are protecting the important people to flee back.

"Zhou Leopard, don't send yourself to the door as a big fish." A cavalry general on the left side of Zhou Pu shouted loudly, stabbed the horse's buttocks with a spur, and divided dozens of horses to wrap up the dozens of Zhejiang and Fujian cavalry who collided head-on, Zhou Pu led most of his troops to miss from the flank, only to delay for a moment for these dozens of dead soldiers, and continued to chase north.

The sky is cold and the ground is icy, the residual snow under the ridge has been exhausted, the ice chips splashed by the iron hooves are like flying fog, Zheng Ming launched a suicidal impact with a dozen horsemen, and did not shoot arrows, the two collided in one place, swords and guns were struck, flesh and blood were flying, and more than a dozen people on both sides fell off their horses at the moment......
