Lord of the House

Vol 7 Chapter 56: Gu Siyuan

Gu Siyuan’s period of filial piety to his grandfather Tang Hao expired. At the end of March, he left Tongguan and moved eastward along the Yellow River. At that time, eastern Henan and southern Henan were in great chaos. The prefectures and counties in northern Henan and northwestern Shandong were under the control of the Liang family and his son, and the road to Qingzhou was blocked. He was strict and could only pretend to be a refugee army, looking for an opportunity to pass through the Huaisi area.

Yang Pu and Zhao Qinmin led the more than 200 elites to take Gu Siyuan out of Tongguan. Passing through Hezhong Prefecture, Jianrui was selected from the refugees and taken in to the army, and his family members accompanied him, but it became the best cover for entering the Huaisi area to pretend to be a refugee army.

The refugee army was headed by the eight major bandits, but they descended from the top of the mountain, with many poles, and their origins were intricate.

Among the various refugee armies, Liu An'er is the most powerful. Almost every day, there are people who come to take refuge with them, and there are also landlords armed with a tendency to speculate. How can they be suspected of soldiers and horses like Gu Siyuan who are running around with a large number of family members?

After successively capturing several difficult-to-attack stockades on the west bank of the Bianshui River and capturing tens of thousands of stone grains for the refugee army, Gu Siyuan's department regarded Liu An'er as a trustworthy soldier, and in mid-May it was brought into the core theater of the refugee army in Huaisi. , transferred to Qu Shuai Ma Lantou, stationed in the Nanzhai area of ​​Suining.

As early as the first ten days of May, after receiving the secret envoy sent by Gu Siyuan, Lin Fu planned to send troops to pick them up from Huaisi and send them to Qingzhou. At that time, there was no blockade of the rivers of Bian and Sishui by the refugee army, but Gu Siyuan offered to stay in Huaisi and wait for an opportunity.

This stay lasted for two months, until Liu Tingzhou led the Huai Army to enter Siyang, and Ma Lantou transferred the elites of the refugee army in Suyu and Suining. Gu Siyuan only had the opportunity to wait for the opportunity, and he took Suining City with almost no effort.

The crescent moon is like a hook, hanging in the sky, and a faint green light sprinkles down, outlining the shadows of the nearby hills, sparse forests, and rivers. The shadowy shadows are the scattered soldiers of the refugee army fleeing by night. Only complaining that the night was too good, Lin Fu had no excuse for Gu Siyuan to withdraw his troops, let go of these defeated troops, and harvest fewer heads.

For Gu Siyuan, and for the young generals under his command, the dazzling military exploits still need the head to set off. Even though they were still wearing the skin of the refugee army yesterday, most of the soldiers really regarded themselves as part of the refugee army, but it did not prevent them from changing their identities today and attacking yesterday's Paoze.

Gu Siyuan personally supervised the battle under the city, commanding and dispatching his subordinates to hunt down and kill the collapsed soldiers of the refugee army. Zhao Qinmin gave advice and suggestions by his side.

Gu Siyuan recruited refugees in Hezhong Mansion, and the number of troops expanded by more than a thousand. He pretended to be a refugee army and entered Suining Nanzhai. Naturally, he did not stop the pace of expansion. Thousands of people look like.

The Huaisi area has always been prosperous, and food and grass are not a problem. The soldiers and armor can only rely on local private soldiers to capture some supplements, which is still seriously lacking. However, there are more than 200 elite soldiers and armor as the foundation. The four battalions of Gu Siyuan were much more elite than the ordinary refugee army.

Over the years, Yang Pu has lightened his mind about fighting on the battlefield. He plans to pass this matter and hand over this army to Gu Siyuan himself. He will also look back at Wu Chen to be a loyal old servant. At this time, he will come to the city. See Lin Bound.

Lin Bie frowned at the slaughter under the city, and when Yang Pu approached, he came back to his senses and said, "Uncle Yang, you have been tired these past few months."

"What's the point of being involved..." Yang Pu smiled indifferently, he was still a few years away from the age of sixty, his beard and hair were already frost-white under the crescent moon, and he was wearing iron armor, but he was a clank veteran.

Under the city, only the soldiers and horses of Gu Siyuan were chasing and killing the defeated soldiers. In addition to the water camp, the Fengli camp, the Changshan camp, and the horse camp all entered the city to rest. In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that Lin Fu is going to hand over all the achievements of winning Suining to Gu Siyuan, but Yang Pu, who has deep contact with Lin Fu, knows that Lin Fu disdains taking the heads of these chaotic people to take credit.

At this time, someone rushed to the top of the city to report: "Li Wei, the magistrate of Suining County, committed suicide by hanging on the beam in the back house of the county government. Just found out to the guards that the medical officer has gone to rescue, and is here to report to the adults..."

"Ah!" Lin Bie was also stunned, not knowing which play this was.

With Gu Siyuan as a big undercover agent, Lin Fu knew exactly what officials and squires in Huaisi did after the fall.

The county magistrate, Li Wei, was captured when he was broken in Suining City. Because of his good reputation in Suining, Liu An'er wanted to recruit him as a strategist. Release it.

As long as those officials who succumbed to the refugee army, as long as they did not commit too much hateful misdeeds, Lin Fu planned to help them cover up their guilt and not be held accountable by the court. For officials like Li Wei who have withstood the test, it is natural that they should be rewarded by the court. .

This Li Wei, who lived happily in the bandit prison, had no reason to end his hard life, so he would hang himself by hanging a beam!

Lin Fu didn't know what was going on, but it was not a trivial matter, so he could not ignore it, and took advantage of the situation to order the army to withdraw: "Let Siyuan and Mr. Zhao come back to the city, and go directly to the county government to find us..." He and Yang Puxian Go to the county government house to see Li Wei who committed suicide by hanging.

As soon as Lin Bie and Yang Pu stepped into the back of the county government house, they heard a roar inside: "Miss is hanging! it is good!"

Lin Fu was even more confused. He walked into the courtyard where Mingzhu had a high fever. The medical officer came over and told him, "Master Li just recovered, but luckily I found out earlier..."

"What's the matter?" Lin Bie asked.

The medical officer came a step earlier, but knew the details, and asked in a low voice: "I heard from the woman who was serving that Master Li came out of prison and knew that his daughter was taken by the thief as his wife and that he was pregnant, so he took a knife and wanted to kill him. Girl, I don't know what's going on, I'm hanging myself first..."

Lin Bie sighed lightly, raised his eyebrows and looked left and right, and said, "No one is allowed to spread this matter! Save everyone first." Walking into the back room, he saw Li Wei wearing a shabby official robe, and he was full of tears. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Fu waved and told everyone else to exit first, pulled up a stool, sat in front of Li Wei, and said, "Master Li, why bother?"

"The old man will kill the thief's rebel girl if he can't make a move. The only way to repay the court is to die." Old Li Wei burst into tears. In front of Lin Fu, "Please make the old man Dai to present the table to the court, and die without regrets..."

Lin Fu thought to himself that although this old man regarded his reputation as his life, he still had some humanity. He didn't kill his pregnant daughter with a single sword. The house is broken, the people are displaced and there are thousands of corpses lying in the streets and alleys. As Suining's parents and officials, you don't think about getting up and clarifying political affairs, and you are learning from little women to find life and death. I think you are old and confused! It is the people who are important, or you. How important is Li Wei's reputation? You have figured it out for yourself!" He turned around and instructed his entourage, "Send someone to secretly send Mr. Li's daughter away overnight, and it is said to the outside world that she died at the hands of a thief, and the body is missing. Whoever dares to reveal this, kill! He stood up with his arms up and said to Li Wei, who was kneeling on the ground in a daze, "Now that you have eaten and drank enough, go to the former ya to take charge of official business. There are so many things here, there is no time for you and your sons and daughters to be affectionate here!" Before dawn, I want you to clarify the general situation in the city and report it to me."

Yang Pu sighed slightly, thinking that there is really no way for others to deal with it as neatly as Lin Fu. At this time, I am afraid that no one will pay attention to him. He is only twenty-three years old.

Lin Bie flung his sleeves and left, Li Wei knelt on the ground as if he was dead, and could not hear the chariots and horses in the yard next door. He picked up his crying daughter and the maid and old woman who served him. It took a long time before he got off the ground. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and instructed left and right: "Burn a bowl of spicy noodle soup and go to Qianya..." Then he went to Qianya to act as an official.

Gu Siyuan and Zhao Qinmin withdrew their troops and returned to the city, Lin Fuxian returned to the post house for a walk, and they rushed to see him. Gu Siyuan and the others were still unfinished, and asked, "What happened in the city, the night is fine at this time, and until tomorrow, the defeated soldiers outside the city will flee far away."

"The confused officials do stupid things, don't talk about it, it's good to be rescued." Lin Fu is not a long-speaking woman, and there is no need to talk about the family affairs of Li Wei, the magistrate of Suining County, and ask Gu Siyuan and others to sit down and talk, and said, "There are more important things to do than chasing down fleeing pawns and taking one or two hundred more heads. Let's sit down and discuss the next step..."

"It seems that defending Suining and breaking the siege of Liu Tingzhou can not only threaten the rear wing of the main force of the bandits who surround Xuzhou, but also cut off their food supply. Yue Lengqiu can defend Xuzhou, and the bandits can only go north to Shandong, just in time. Let them fight the Liang family..." Gu Siyuan said.

I don't know if there is Zhao Qinmin behind Gu Siyuan's opinion, but compared to Gu Siyuan, who played around with Wang Chao, Fan Zhimei and other Jiang Ning sons when he entered Jiangning, he has matured a lot. Than, to be impressed.

The refugee army is too concentrated in the periphery of Xuzhou, and there is not enough food on the spot~www.wuxiamtl.com~Siyang, Suyu, Tancheng, Yuntiguan and the west Linhuai, Hao, Si and other areas are the mainstay of the refugee army. Food raising area.

Lin Shui led his troops to occupy Suining, and there were water camps and warships blocking Bian and Sishui.

Under such circumstances, Liu An'er would either go all out to conquer Xuzhou before the shortage of food and grass, or withdraw from the encirclement.

The initiative in the war is no longer in the hands of the refugee army.

Lin Fu thought that Liu An'er might not be willing to give up, and Yue Lengqiu was not a good stubborn. Right now, it was the top priority for Liu Tingzhou to return to the south, and Ma Lantou and Sun Zhuang could not be allowed to calmly rectify their forces in Siyang and Su Yu. Liu An'er sent troops from Xuzhou to attack Suining.

The key is a quick word.

Liu An'er's reinforcements from Xuzhou should have just been dispatched, and they are still about a hundred miles away from Suining.

"I will raise troops in the morning and go south to Siyang, but when I get to Siyang, the bandits who want to come to Xuzhou will also be pushed to the bottom of Suining City. When I rescue Liu Tingzhou, and then send my troops north to support Suining, it may take two days and two nights to delay. time," Lin Fu looked at Gu Siyuan and asked, "How much troops do you want me to support you in order to defend Suining?"

Perhaps it is most suitable to stay with Qin Chengzu to keep Suining, but regardless of whether it is public or private, Lin Fu will let Gu Siyuan come to be the leader of the way. With Yang Pu and Zhao Qinmin as their supporters, Gu Siyuan can also stand on his own.

"Ma Lantou and Sun Zhuang still have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Suyu and Siyang, and they are all elite soldiers. The key to saving Liu Tingzhou is to be quick, and the soldiers and horses can't be less. I have a water camp to rely on, so I'm not afraid of the future. The road is cut off," Gu Siyuan said, "You have extra weapons, armor, bows and arrows, lend me some, and I will stay in Suining for two days, waiting for you to return to the division..."
