Since the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, the two Huai regions have become the battlefield of the Song and Jin Dynasty tug-of-war, and because of the southward movement of the northerners, the Huaimin has also become the most important source of soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, and the name of the Huai soldiers has continued until the final destruction of the Battle of Yashan.

Huainan East Road is located in Yangzhou, but Li Tingzhi, the ambassador of the two Huai systems, has no way to return to his own system, because the Taishi, the important military affairs of Pingzhang, Jia Nidao, fled to Yangzhou with his governor's mansion. In desperation, he could only take his 7,000 Huai soldiers into Chuzhou.

In Qingliu County, where the Chuzhou Prefecture is located, in the just-established system department, Li Tingzhi stood under the dripping eaves with his hands, forgetting that the sunset was shining on the horizon, and the distant mountains were stacked on top of each other, and the clouds were steaming and the clouds were beautiful, but his thin face was as heavy as water, and his brows were wrinkled into the word "Sichuan".

Jianghuai's handwritten letter to Wang Lixin, the ambassador of Jianghuai, is on him at this moment, the full text is only more than 100 words, and the words are very plain, not like official documents, but more like the gossip of old friends. However, Li Tingzhi still saw the anxiety of the person who wrote the letter, "If Jiankang falls, the southeast is in danger", he is not a person who does not know soldiers, and the overall situation is still clear.

But what can he do, the Huaidong army is in Yangzhou, and his own department is currently only more than 7,000 people, and the rest of the states still have to bear the heavy responsibility of border defense, where do the soldiers come from? Li Tingzhi's gaze involuntarily turned to the left, which was in the direction of Luzhou, which was already under the rule of Huainan West Road.

Since he himself proposed the division of the two Huai and let Na Xia Gui lead the Huaixi system envoy, Li Tingzhi, the ambassador of the two Huai system, has actually just become a handsome minister of Huaidong all the way. Thinking about Xia Gui's usual dominance, he shook his head with a wry smile.

In the last years of Xianchun, the military generals from all walks of life supported their own troops, but the imperial court was helpless, and had to be careful to entrap them. Just recently, Xia Gui, who fled without a fight, just added Kaifu Yi and the Third Division, which is almost the top of the generals.

"Then Wang Jiyi is still living in the state station?" Li Tingzhi beckoned to a personal soldier.

"Back to Dashuai, that person has been asking to see him yesterday, and then he went back to the post station, but he didn't come today, most of them are still there." The soldiers replied respectfully, and Li Tingzhi's dispatch had a big character, so he was called "Dashuai".

"You go for a trip, if the person is still there, bring it here, the official will see him in the back office, and please be invited, and you must not be lazy." Li Tingzhi waved his hand to send him away, and he couldn't see him all the time, so he had to think about it if he wanted to say it.

Wang Lin sat in his own room in the state post station, chasing all the way from Yangzhou to Chuzhou, but he only handed his father's handwritten letter into the Shuai Mansion, it has been two days, and he can only wait here. From childhood to adulthood, he has always grown up under his father's wings, and he inevitably lacks flexibility.

Knowing that Shuai Si had come to invite him, Wang Lin quickly got up and followed the visitor with his entourage. All the way through the hall to the backyard, the people who came to take them to a big house, so please wait here for a while, and go in to report by yourself.

"No need to be polite, Wang Jiyi should be seated." Seeing that Wang Lin finished saluting, Li Tingzhi owed nothing, so he beckoned him to sit down.

"Chengfu Gong has always been good, Jinghu is goodbye, it's been almost five years, the situation is changing, and now they are all old." Li Tingzhi tilted his head and said as if embarrassed.

"Thank you for your concern, my father's health has always been healthy, but he has been a little troubled recently, and he is a little mentally weak." Hearing others greeting his father, Wang Lin hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Your father's letter has been read, Chengfu Gong is old and not afraid of hardships and dangers, to be honest, Li admires it very much." Li Tingzhi waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and Wang Lin sat up straight and looked at him, waiting for his next step.

"However, you have been to Yangzhou, and you have also seen the situation of Ben Shuai, this Huaidong whole road, a certain number of troops can be mobilized is extremely limited, this Chuzhou Qingliu City, there is a certain number of troops, do not hide it from you, a total of seven thousand." Li Tingzhi said helplessly.

"Brother Wang Xian listened to a certain first, and it was definitely not a shirk to say this. In the states of Huaidong, it goes without saying that the Xuyi army of Haozhou on the border is too far away, and even if you want to transfer, you can't get there. There is still one Zhenzhou left, there are more than 2,000 infantry troops and 1,800 naval troops. ”

Li Tingzhi saw that Wang Lin wanted to speak, so he stopped him first, and then slowly told him about his situation.

Wang Lin looked at Li Tingzhi at the top, who was about the same age as himself, but he was already a high-ranking and powerful minister. There is a faint white hair oozing out of the temples, the so-called capable people work harder, probably that's it, thinking of his father's full head of white hair, it was difficult to sit still, and he had to stand up.

"The commander, a certain also knows that the situation is difficult, how can the Tartars be powerful, the soldiers of Jiankang Mansion are outnumbered, and I hope that the commander will think twice. Not for a father and son, just look at the people of the southeast, hoping to lend a hand, no matter how much, as long as the banner of the commander can be inserted on the riverbank, it is the luck of the house. ”

After saying this, Wang Lin took a deep look, this was the third salute he made to Li Tingzhi today, and Li Tingzhi was also a little moved when he heard this. stood up and helped Wang Lin up, and he was still a little contemptuous of this ya's thoughts, but he also put it away.

"In this way, a certain person went to Wenhuai Xixia Gui, and did not ask him to lead troops to help, as long as he went out of Luzhou and went straight to Hezhou, he would be able to fight with a certain east and west. A certain department will be pulled out tomorrow, and the virtuous brother will go to ** with a certain one, and then send you directly across the river. ”

Wang Lin nodded gratefully, he knew that this was already the best that Li Tingzhi could do, how Xia Gui was no longer something that others could grasp, Li Tingzhi was just doing his best, hoping for anything in case.

In the yamen of the Jiankang Prefecture Department, Wang Lixin, who has been ill and has been reduced, is playing chess with Meng Zhijin, originally this is the work of Hu San Province, since Hu San Province was arrested by Liu Yu Zhuang Ding to manage the treasury, Wang Lixin found Meng Zhijin, who had nothing to do, to accompany him.

Meng Zhijin's chess strength was average, and he was a little uncertain, so he fell behind in less than a moment, and just as he was thinking hard about how to deal with it, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door. After a while, I saw a personal soldier hurrying over, in front of the two, clasping his fists and saluting.

"Greetings, there is a messenger from Lin'an Mansion, and he is now outside the door, but he wants to be summoned in?" Wang Lixin glanced at Meng Zhijin when he heard this, and his heart moved, it should be that he had a palindrome for his protection.

A pile of documents handed over by someone came, in addition to the palindrome of the officials, there are also family letters from his wife, as well as the latest newspaper of the imperial court. Wang Lixin put down the palindrome and family letter, opened the newspaper first, and was stunned when he opened it.

The newspaper published a chapter of Chen Yizhong, a member of the Privy Council, which listed the crimes of Jia Rudao Weifu who ran rampantly, feared the enemy and fought timidly, lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and even lost several state capitals along the river. The Empress Dowager Xie, who was directly in charge, was removed from her post to investigate and investigate her crimes, and when she turned it over, she saw the approval of the Empress Dowager Xie.

"It seems that the Tao is industrious for three dynasties, how can it be that once you sin, you will lose the courtesy of the minister?" Wang Lixin shook his head, Chen Yizhong finally started, although the Empress Dowager Xie disagreed, but it didn't take long, although the will asked the opinions of the ministers, but the trend of overthrowing Jia has become inevitable.

"Zhijin, I'll trouble you to run and send this to Ziqing." Wang Lixin handed the palindrome to Meng Zhijin, with this, Liu Yu's right to know Jiankang Mansion is justified.

After Meng Zhijin was ordered to leave the house, Wang Lixin took the family letter and the mansion newspaper into his study, skimmed the family letter, and looked at the family letter, which was nothing more than some short trivial matters in the family, thinking of his old wife who had been with him for more than 50 years, he couldn't help but sigh.

Picking up the newspaper again, Chen Yizhong's article is not long, but his words are quite intense, and he has the tendency to not stop if he does not pull Jia Yidao off the horse. Wang Lixin thought about it for a long time, and finally spread out the paper, slowly dissolved the ink, and considered the words as he shook it. When the ink was formed, he took the pen and dipped it, and then wrote it on the paper.

"Duanming Palace, along the Yangtze River, Jianghuai recruited envoy Wang Lixin Fu begging Empress Dowager, the dynasty has been in the Ding Ding for more than 300 years"
