Lord of the House

Vol 9 Chapter 43: deceive you

The She family pressed their forces on the western front, from Wuyuan to Chun'an, less than 200 miles away, assembled more than 50,000 elite troops, in addition to 30,000 to 40,000 miscellaneous auxiliary troops.

The Tangwuji in the upper reaches of the Xin'an River is the Xingyuan Administration of the Governor's Mansion in Western Zhejiang.

With Tangwuji as the center, She Feixiong built six camps in Jiangjiaji, Qixi, Baijizhai, Luofengshan and other places less than 20 miles away, stationed 30,000 elites, and kept facing the north. Lingguan's offensive.

Entering Huizhou from the west of Zhejiang, the terrain is naturally blocked by Baiji Mountain and Fuyu Mountain. Deng Yu took Huizhou City as the center, and placed heavy troops on the Yuling Pass and other dangerous fortresses and fortresses. Although the Zhejiang-Fujian army had a large number of troops and strong combat power, they fought hard for half a year, but they couldn't defeat Huinan.

In addition to the western Zhejiang camp in Tangwuji, She Feixiong also deployed more than 20,000 heavy troops in Wuyuan County, a hundred miles to the west, to maintain the offensive against Fuliang County in Jiangxi.

Although the deployment of the luxury family on the western front, although the troops were concentrated in one place, it was conducive to the simultaneous use of troops in southern Huizhou and Jiangxi. No matter which direction opens the gap first, it can allow the Zhejiang and Fujian troops to drive straight in, advance into the Central Plains, and win a large land.

In the hall of the Xingyuan, She Feixiong sat behind the Nanmu koan surrounded by red brocade, and listened with a gloomy expression to the generals reporting the battle at Yuling Pass.

"I will lead people up again. No matter how hard the bones of Yuling Pass are, I will gnaw it down. If the battle is not successful, I would rather the Governor cut me off. I have no complaints!"

Wang Hui was originally a general in Kuaiji, and after he surrendered to the extravagant family, he knew that there was no way out. If he wanted to show his face among the generals of Jin'an, he needed a lot of hard work. In the past few months, the Yuling Pass was attacked by Wang Hui, which was very expensive, but fortunately, She Feixiong replenished his troops in time, and did not take the opportunity to weaken him, which made him feel grateful and wanted to earn more and more. The first feat of trapping Yuling Pass.

Yuling Pass is not the only way to enter Huinan from the west of Zhejiang. Wang Hui even went to great lengths to carve out a cross-mountain path from the east side of Yuling Pass, and transport troops to the north of Yuling Pass, facing Yuling Pass. Conduct a north-south attack. However, without the capture of Yuling Pass, a large amount of materials cannot be transported from western Zhejiang to southern Huizhou, let alone attacking cities such as Huizhou, which were heavily defended by Deng Yu...

"General Wang Hui is doing his best, everyone can see it," She Feixiong was in a bad mood, but he would comfort the generals who served the She family wholeheartedly, saying, "The most important thing now is to prevent Deng Yu from supporting Yuling Pass from Huizhou. Yuling Pass has only 3,000 defenders. No matter how tenacious it is, it will take a little more time to capture it. You can't be impatient... General Yu, General Tian, ​​you should also dispatch some people to support General Wang Hui. Because of the deployment, General Wang Hui led the way. The top is in the front, but General Wang Hui cannot be allowed to lose his troops alone. From today, you will each draw 2,000 elites and hand them over to General Wang Hui for unified control, and take turns to attack Yuling Pass!" She Feixiong instructed Yu Wenshan, the descendant of Zhejiang and Fujian. Waiting, decided to press Zhejiang and Fujian elites to attack Yuling Pass at this time, and Wuyuan will also increase the pressure.

Wang Hui was very grateful.

At this time, the chief of the door, Shi Tianchang, came over.

Tian Changyuan served as a military preparation for the Mingzhou government and participated in the military of the two Zhe governors. In his early years, he secretly invested in the extravagant family. The post of Governor Shi became She Feixiong's important assistant in ruling Zhejiang, and many people from the Tian family took up important positions.

She Feixiong led the battle in western Zhejiang, and Tian Chang sat in Kuaiji to ensure that the grains from Mingzhou, Kuaiji and other places were continuously transported through the Qianjiang River for the tens of thousands of troops in western Zhejiang to fight.

Tian Chang came to Tangwuji at this time, and all the generals had suspicious expressions on their faces. He didn't know if he came over to see the eldest son in person, what was the most important thing.

"I'm here to discuss matters today, and all the generals will do as they are told..." She Feixiong sent the generals away and asked Tian Chang to come in.

"Commander, how's the war in western Zhejiang?" Tian Chang came in to give a salute, and asked straight to the point about the battle in western Zhejiang.

She Feixiong shook his head as usual, and said, "It will take a few more days..."

"Most of the Changhuai Army and the Huaidong Army have already left for the King of Qin. In addition to the Jiangning garrison, in the Yangtze River front line, the only troops that the imperial court can deploy are the Dongyang Army, the Changhuai Army, about ten thousand people, and Meng Yishan's Ning Navy..." Tian Chang said, "The Fang family sent someone to ask again, will the governor go to Fangjiabu?"

She Feixiong looked solemn and asked Tian Chang, "Is the Fang family reliable?"

"Fang Zhenhe has had a personal relationship with the humble post for 20 years, and they are familiar with each other. If he is used by Dong Yuan, he will not be able to hide the humble eyes," Tian Chang said. What kind of trap can there be? Fang Zhenhe can ruthlessly use the more than 100 members of the Fang family to help Dong Yuan?"

"Well, that's the reason..." She Feixiong nodded.

It is the most convenient to enter from the west of Zhejiang to the east and go down the Xin'an River-Qianjiang River.

From Chun'an down the river to the east is Tonglu County. Tonglu County is located on the southern bank of the Jiang, seized by the luxury family, and it is the gateway for the luxury family to connect eastern Zhejiang and western Zhejiang.

Further east is Fuyang County. Fuyang County is on the north bank of the Yangtze River. It is the gateway to the southwest of Hangzhou. In the north of Fuyang County is Linshui County, which is also the only way for the luxury family to go north from the east line. Dong Yuan sent heavy troops to defend it.

In addition to the northward route of Fuyang and Linshui, there is also a trail that can go north in the west of Linshui County.

This trail generally runs northward from Chun'an County along the foothills of Mount Fuyu Mountain. It can not only bypass Linshui County, which is heavily defended, but also lead to Anji County, Huzhou Prefecture in the north, laying down the hinterland of Huzhou Prefecture; it can also start from the southwest of Anji County. Pass through the northern foot of Fuyu Mountain, take Qianqiu Pass and enter Huizhou to fight Deng Yu's belly; or take Dusong Pass and enter Ningguo County in the north of Huizhou Prefecture. In particular, Dusong Pass is an important land route from northwest Zhejiang to Jiangning.

This route was dangerous, but Dong Yuan was not unprepared, and defended Fenshui, Yinzhu, Fangjiabu, Yuqian and other villages along the route. At the same time, this route has a fork that connects with Linshui County, and the intersection of the fork is what Tian Chang said about Fangjiabu, which is the top priority of the route.

The Zhejiang-Fujian army first seized Fangjiabu, and then it was easy to remove other obstacles on the route unexpectedly, and they could move north along the foothills of Fuyu Mountain; but in the same way, if Fangjiabu was sent to Dong Yuan from Linshui to take it back , the Zhejiang and Fujian troops who attacked deeply in the early stage will become the turtle in the urn, and if the retreat is cut off, they will fall into an extremely dangerous situation.

When She Feixiong and Tian Chang formulated this strategy, there were two key points.

One is to wait until the Jiangdong County hinterland is empty, and the elites of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops who have entered in the early stage can make great achievements without obstruction, completely disrupt the deployment of the imperial court on the southern front, and reduce the resistance of the main force to attack from the front.

The second is to want the east of Zhejiang to use troops wantonly on Fuyang and other cities to attract Dong Yuan's forces, while the west of Zhejiang will use Fangjiabu as a platform to attack Linshui. Only by laying down Linshui can we ensure the safety of the flanks of the route at the foot of Fuyu Mountain. At that time, even the main force of troops and horses in western Zhejiang can be transported to the hinterland of Jiangdong through this road, smashing the foundation of Yuanshi in Jiangnan in one fell swoop!

The Donghu people broke through and entered the pirates again. Chen Zhihu was transferred to Qinwang, most of the Changhuai Army was transferred to Qinwang, and the Huaidong Army was also transferred to Qinwang. This is also the best time for the Zhejiang and Fujian troops to break through to the north - Shefei The bear also knew that if he didn't fight, he would have no chance.

Not only can Yanjing be held, but whether Emperor Chongguan can escape, or move the capital to Jiangning, or establish a new emperor in Jiangning, it will be inevitable. In the past two or three years, in order to maintain the lifeline of Gyeonggi, the Yuan clan has collected taxes from Jiangnan and other places to support the operation of the Jinhai food route, and has invested several million taels of silver every year.

Once the capital is moved or a new emperor is established in Jiangning, the resources that the Yuan clan can still have will be gathered with Jiangning as the core.

Apart from the fact that some soldiers and horses from the north will be withdrawn to the south, the millions of taels saved every year from the Jinhai food route alone can allow Jiangning to raise more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

At that time, Zhejiang and Fujian will have many difficulties.

"Transfer Su Tingzhan to fight Fuyang!" She Feixiong thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind, signed a warrant and handed it over to Tian Chang to bring it back, "I want Su Tingzhan to use 12 points of strength!"

She Feixiong can’t wait any longer. In two months, it will be the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River. The trail at the foot of Fuyu Mountain will be extremely difficult to travel in the rainy season. Maybe when it comes to flash floods or landslides, the entire trail will be interrupted. Do it before.

"Yes!" Tian Chang rejoiced, he seemed to be able to see the situation after the Zhejiang and Fujian troops attacked Linshui, marched north from the foothills of Mount Fuyu Mountain, and entered Anji and Ningguo! Taking She Feixiong's warrant, Tian Chang returned to Kuaiji on the same day by boat along the Xin'an River, and joined Su Tingzhan, who had been prepared long ago in Kuaiji.

On the 15th, the main force of the land and water troops of the She family in eastern Zhejiang, led by the main general Su Tingzhan and others, advanced along Jiangxi and attacked cities such as Fuyang and Hangzhou...

By this time, from Wuyuan to Chun'an to Fuyang, the 100,000 troops and horses deployed by the She family in western Zhejiang and eastern Zhejiang were all mobilized to attack Jiangxi, Huizhou and Hangzhou simultaneously in three routes. , and he worked hard to make a gap.

The dense river network in the north of Zhejiang could not prevent the infiltration of the navy from the east of Zhejiang. Dong Yuan looked at the warships approaching the city of Hangzhou with a sad face. Although he still has 40,000 soldiers and horses to call in northern Zhejiang, there are only more than 10,000 old soldiers, and most of the others are new recruits after the autumn of last year. Due to soaring food prices, urban households in the market are living hard. In order to stabilize the situation, Dong Yuan was forced to recruit soldiers from Chengfang households. At this time, although it helped to alleviate the contradiction of soaring food prices, it also made the quality of the recruited soldiers poor. Also lacking in armour and training, these newly recruited pawns were far from satisfactory.

Hangzhou City has solid walls and is not afraid of losing, but Fuyang is a small city, the city is low, and it is close to the river, so it is easy to invest troops in the luxury family. Although Fuyang had a garrison of 6,000 troops, it was difficult to say at this time whether it could resist the successive attacks of the She family's 20,000 troops.

Dong Yuan didn't even realize that in the Zhufang Village on the west line of Linshui County, someone had secretly bought the luxury family...

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

On the 15th day of March, Yuan Lishan led his troops to surrender, Songshan, Ningjin and other fortresses in western Liaoning were all lost, and news of 20,000 captives bypassing Linyu Pass into Jizhou and completely besieging Changli reached Jinhai.

For the people of Jinhai, the worst prediction has been confirmed - even if it had been expected, Lin Xuwen had seen the news report that Tanma risked his life, and his hands and feet were suddenly cold; Huang Jinnian and others were also silent.

Gao Zongting was even more hated and speechless. He and the superintendent worked hard for several years, and they were defeated almost overnight, which made him feel good. I wish I could tear up the letter and throw it on the faces of Hao Zongcheng, Zhang Xie, Zhang Ximin and others. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com asked them to open their eyes to see the **** facts.

"Did you send someone to the island to invite the envoy Lin Zhizhi to discuss the matter," Huang Jinnian said. "Calculating the schedule, the Huaidong Army should also go to the Bohai Bay?" Huang Jinnian, who is now in Jinhai, can only regard the Huaidong Army as a A lifesaver to catch.

Lin Xuwen nodded and said yes, although Gao Zongting was also here, but Gao Zongting could not be regarded as Lin Fu's direct line, and sent someone to find Lin Fu who stayed in Jinhai City to contact Sun Shangwang, and asked Sun Shangwang to send someone to Jinwei Island to ask Lin Fu to come over discussion.

After more than an hour, Sun Shangwang left and returned, returning with a letter in his hand, but there was no trace of Lin Bie.

"Where's the envoy Lin Zhizhi?" Huang Jinnian didn't see Lin Fu's people, but when he saw Sun Shangwang getting a letter, his heart skipped a beat. make?"

"My lord left Jinwei Island yesterday, and maybe he will return in three or five days. It happened in a hurry, and I didn't have time to tell Master Lin and Master Huang." Sun Shangwang took a deep breath, he just knew Lin Fu's secret yesterday Leaving Jinhai, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, he even parked the "Lin Zhengjun" on Jinwei Island. He handed the letter in his hand to Lin Xuwen, "This is a letter from my family to Lord Lin!"

Lin Xuwen pondered Lin Bing's intentions for a while, and opened the letter suspiciously—

Gao Zongting didn't need to read the letter. At this time, he was able to fully understand everything in his heart, and he was shocked: Lin Fu acted as a strategy to attack the east and the west, and under the guise of King Qin, he even did not hesitate to deceive the king, deceiving everyone including the court officials. did it again and again!

Lin Bie committed the crime of deceiving the king, who can get him?

Gao Zongting wanted to laugh and cry, no matter how Lin Xuwen was reading the letter, he patted his thigh and walked straight out of the official hall... My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
