(The third watch, asking for red tickets)

In the middle of the night, the kimono took a short rest, listening to the footsteps of the outhouse, Lin Jian woke up, did not sleep enough, his body felt more and more cold, listening to Lin Mengde and Cao Ziang talking softly outside, Lin Jian rubbed his face with his hand, made himself sober, and walked out of the coat.

"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Lin Mengde asked.

"Where can I sleep?" Lin Jian grinned, "What's the ......?"

There is not much time left for them, and before a large number of captives and cavalry counterattack, the villagers of Cangnan Sizhai will be transferred out, and the Jiangdong Left Army will not sleep until they want to complete their rest and concealment, and they will not have enough time.

"Yangxin County sent someone, the county lieutenant, surnamed Cheng," Cao Ziang said, "It is said that it is the labor army, and a lot of good things are pulled by carts, in fact, I hope that the lord will lead the Jiangdong Left Army to Yangxin, do you want to see him?" ”

"Let's see it," Lin Jian said, "Even if you don't go to Yangxin, you can't give people resentment......

"Then you will see him, and we will take care of the rest; You need to rest more. Cao Ziang said.

"As if you don't have to rest...... Lin Jian said with a smile, and asked the guards to bring a basin of hot water, he didn't sleep enough in the middle of the night, and there was nothing more refreshing than washing his face, and then he asked people to invite Lieutenant Cheng from Yang Xin in.

Yangxin is less than 100 miles southwest of Xiaobotou Village, and the news of Cangnan's victory will be the first to reach Yangxin.

Lin Jian led the Jiangdong Left Army to deal with the Yejin Nayan cavalry in the north of Yangxin, and Yangxin County did not send anyone to invite him into the city to hide, but at this time he sent someone to invite him to Yangxin, which may not be too utilitarian.

It's just that at this time, everyone has to share the same hatred, and Lin Jian also reined in his strong temperament, and patiently told Cheng County Lieutenant, who was sent by Yangxin to invite him, that he couldn't go to Yangxin.

Lin Jian led the Jiangdong Left Army to retreat to Yangxin, and naturally took over the defense of Yangxin County in an all-round way. Compared with a big city like Jinan, Donglu didn't have many effective siege equipment, and the small city was easier to defend, at least until Jinan was lost, Lin Jian was confident to hold Yangxin.

Although it is a method to withdraw to Yangxin and according to Yangxin City and ride outside the city, once Jinan Mansion is lost, the Jiangdong Left Army is likely to be trapped in Yangxin City and become the next target of the main attack of the southern line of Dongyu.

In addition, this strategy is too passive to share much pressure for the Jinan government.

Lin Jian did not lead his troops to Yangxin, as long as the Yangxin defenders had a strong will and decision to resist, and made full mobilization in advance, the captives would not risk too much loss to attack such an insignificant small city.

If Jinan had not been defended, it would have been difficult to say how much will the prefectures and counties in Shandong would have left to resist when the eastern troops swept in.

**********

Lin Jian refused to lead his troops to Yangxin, and the county lieutenant of Yangxin was a little disappointed, but he didn't show too much dissatisfaction.

Yangxin County is located in the northern part of Shandong County, and after the river freezes in winter, Yangxin and Hejian Province in the north have no favorable topographical and topographical separation.

The counties of Hejian Province have fallen, and Yangxin County has always been on the verge of falling. Even after the cavalry of the Eastern Capture Advance on the Eastern Front was transferred back to Xingzhou, there were still hundreds of Eastern Cavalry outposts remaining in Yangxin County. Naturally, the villagers outside Yangxin County have fled, killed, and plundered, and the soldiers and civilians in the county town have also been worried in the past two months, and they have not slept well for a day.

In fact, Lin Lian's troops fought with the Dongyu cavalry in the north of Yangxin and the victory in Cangnan the night before was too important for the soldiers and civilians who were trapped in Yangxin City, almost exhausted and about to collapse. The victory in Cangnan was almost the only decent victory for the officers and soldiers since the Dongxin entered the Kou, and it happened in Cangnan, which was less than 100 miles away from Yangxin City, giving the Yangxin army and people hope to kill the Dongyu.

Lin Lian, who commanded the Jiangdong Left Army with Wenchen, his personal reputation in Yangxin also rose to the extreme, even if the county lieutenant of Yangxin was disappointed that he couldn't invite Lin Lian to Yangxin, how could he be dissatisfied with him?

After Yangxin got the exact news of Cangnan's victory, officials such as the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper, and the famous squires in the county did not hesitate much, so they decided to send the county lieutenant to Cangnan together, and in the name of the labor army, they wanted to invite Lin Tie to lead his troops to Yangxin, hoping to use the strength of the Jiangdong Left Army to resist foreign enemies.

Of course, the county lieutenant of Yangxin did not have much hope before setting off, after all, the Jiangdong Left Army was a guest army that was not controlled by Shandong, and it was the division of the king of Qin, and there was no obligation to help Yangxin.

The county lieutenant of Yangxin rushed over with a few sword archers from the county non-stop, and saw the battlefield of the great victory in Cangnan with his own eyes.

Just as fear is contagious, so is courage and morale.

The county lieutenant of Yangxin did not dare to stay in Cangnan for a long time, and hoped to ask for a few heads of the Eastern Barbarians to return to Yangxin to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians trapped in the city.

Although military merit is the most important to win the first rank, it is a real and uncompromised military merit, unlike the number of enemies that can be blown nonsense. However, there are more than a thousand heads, there is no difference between a few more and a few less, Lin Jian just told the county lieutenant of Yangxin that the head should be taken back to Yangxin to encourage the soldiers and civilians defending the city, there is no need to hang it outside the city gate. In a few days, a large number of Dongyu cavalry will counterattack towards Cangnan, and it may not be a good thing to see the head hanging outside the gate of Yangxin County.

It was already dawn when he sent away the county lieutenant of Yangxin, and when he rushed Sun Shangwang back, Lin Jian asked him about the mobilization of the villagers in Sizhai in Cangnan.

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

Not only in the north, but also in the Central Plains, the dock villages are usually the embodiment of traditional clan power, and nine out of ten villagers in Xiaobotou Village have the surname Sun. Even if the East invades, Xiaobotou Village will give priority to accommodating children surnamed Sun. It is also the embodiment of this clan strength and cohesion, when the Dongyu attacked, Xiaobotou Village showed a firm and tenacious will to resist, and never fell into the hands of the enemy.

It's just that these docks are still too thin compared to the city, and the walled wall is a single-walled stone fortress, which can be done to prevent bandits and small groups of enemy soldiers, but they can only prevent bandits and small groups of captives.

The capture of the enemy had not been attacked before, and the gains outweighed the losses by forcibly attacking the fortress. Enough people have been plundered before, and any more will become a burden, and the gold and silver goods are of little value to the Donghu people; For a party's forces, people are the greatest wealth, and silver is a floating cloud. If Lin Jian wanted to defend Xiaobotou Village at this time, he had to consider whether the Dongyu could endure the humiliation brought by the defeat of Cangnan and the killing of the children of the royal family - the possibility of holding it was very small.

If you can't defend Cangnan, you must retreat all the villagers of Cangnan to the south to avoid becoming scapegoats for counterattacking and riding to move anger. On the other hand, it is necessary to take advantage of the retreat of the Cangnan villagers to the south, create the illusion of the Jiangdong Left Army retreating south, and confuse the captive cavalry that counterattacked Cangnan, in order to contain more Dongnan cavalry and reduce the pressure on Jinan Prefecture.

Defending Jinan Mansion was of great significance to the Great Yue Dynasty, not only to keep the prefectures and counties east and south of Jinan Province from the threat of the Donglu cavalry, but also to quickly restore the Cao Road after the Dongyu cavalry withdrew, so as to keep this north-south lifeline unaffected.

Even in the period of the lowest tide of Cao Yun, the annual grain transported to Yanjing through this Cao Road is as high as 3 million stones, once Yanjing does not get enough Cao grain input, the military food of the people of Yanjing and the defenders on the three sides will be greatly affected, which is the most important thing.

At the time of the great victory in Cangnan, all the villagers in Cangnan Sizhai were to be withdrawn, and many people couldn't figure it out and didn't want to leave.

Except for a few respected leaders of the Wuzhai clan, it is impossible to reveal the real intention and deployment of the enemy, so as to prevent someone from accidentally falling behind on the way, and to inform the captives who counterattacked Cangnan in advance of the intention and deployment of the enemy on this side - this adds great difficulty to the mobilization.

Sun Fengyi, Sun Shangwang and other leaders of Cangnan Township were so anxious that their buttocks smoked and they couldn't rest for a moment, and finally they were so anxious that they had no choice, so they ordered the township soldiers to move to Xiaobotou Village overnight. Most of the Wuzhai clans live in the village, as long as the Wuzhai clan leaders are convinced, it is more convenient to use an arrogant and direct method. Wealth and goods are all outside the body, the village can be rebuilt if it is destroyed, and there is nothing left when the people are gone.

*********

As long as the evacuation of the Cangnan villagers is not a problem, Lin Jian will let go of most of his thoughts, and it is easier for the Jiangdong Left Army to rest and recuperate, and it is led by the generals.

The most important achievement of the Cangnan victory is still military merits, with such military merits at the bottom, the Jiangdong Left Army, which was still hastily recruited at the time of departure, will almost be disbanded if it returns to Jiangning.

While boosting the morale of the military and civilians in Shandong Zhufu County, it also made the reputation of Lin Jian and Jiangdong Left Army spread throughout Dongshan Zhufu County.

Although the emperor and the Chu party are both inclined to negotiate peace, no one wants to bear the historical crime of condescending to the enemy and discussing peace, so all kinds of things are secretly operated. No one would dare to openly stand up and loudly advocate peace with Donglu when the three prefectures of Yannan were all destroyed by Donglu, and no one dared to stand up and say that the victory in Cangnan was not a great thing for the morale of the army and the people who were extremely erosive.

In addition to these, a large number of war horses were the main gains of Cangnan's victory.

As a matter of fact, Yejin Nayan's troops forcibly marched to Cangnan, accompanied by more than 2,600 horses, of which nearly 800 horses were not injured or slightly injured and did not affect the ride, more than 800 horses were seriously injured but could be raised, and nearly 1,000 horses were seriously injured or died.

Lin Tie will replace 800 horses from the Jiangdong Left Army for the Cangnan villagers to retreat south, and more than 700 wounded horses will also be transferred to Jimo by land with the Cangnan villagers. Maybe many of these injured horses will not be able to hold on to Jimo, but it will be more beneficial to bring one more horse with them.

Due to the loss of the main source of horses in the Great Yue Dynasty, this kind of horse outside the mouth is particularly precious.

Compared with horses, even if many of the annihilated horsemen were elite soldiers, their armor may not be as good as the ordinary town army, but they captured a lot of good things from Yannan.

The Jiangdong Left Army captured some armor this time, which could only make up for the wear and tear of the Jiangdong Left Army in this battle. There are very few crossbow bows in the east, but the riding bows are quite sophisticated, Lin Jian only selected more than 400 riding bows to supplement the army, and other riding bows, weapons and a batch of seriously damaged, eliminated but barely usable armor were handed over to the Cangnan Sizhai Township soldiers.

In order to facilitate the archery on horseback, the riding bow is much smaller than the step bow, and the strength and range are not as good as the foot bow, but the foot bow with sufficient bow force can not be used, and the riding bow is more suitable for the use of village soldiers.

Cangnan Sizhai Township soldiers are nominally only 600 people, but the Dongyu cavalry is coming, not to mention the young and strong men, even the women have to go to the wall to help defend the village, there are more than 5,000 people in Sizhai Township, except for the old and weak and still young, it can basically be said that the whole people are soldiers. It's just that the weapons and equipment of the township soldiers are very poor, and the other people who have been temporarily organized are only used as weapons to kill the enemy with a kitchen knife or a hoe.

The township soldiers and people of Cangnan Sizhai need this batch of armor and bows and arrows to strengthen.

Nearly 300 people were killed in the battle, and nearly 300 were seriously wounded and could not accompany the army and had to retreat south by sea ship.

Even so, even if the young and strong men of Cangnan were inspired by the great victory in Cangnan and enthusiastically asked to join the army to kill the enemy, but to ensure the mobility and smoothness of the villagers who retreated south, it was indispensable for the villagers who had a certain military training foundation.

Sun Shangwang wanted to move with the Jiangdong Left Army, but Lin Jian persuaded him to retreat south with the villagers.

In order to ensure the mobility of the Jiangdong Left Army that remained in Yannan, Lin Jian reduced the number of workers and battalions that accompanied the army to only half of the establishment, and the remaining half of the formation was led by Sun Wenbing and the young Zhuang among the villagers of Cangnan Sizhai to Jimo by land.

The way for the villagers to retreat south to lure the enemy was not necessarily easy, and Lin Jian asked Sun Shangwang and Sun Wenbing to play a leading role.

When the sky was bright, there was a gust of east wind, and the two thousand-stone boats quickly approached the seawall, and "Jiyun 1" and "Jiyun 2" finally arrived in Cangnan to meet as scheduled.
