Yangzhou located in the north of the Yangtze River has no "twenty-four bridges and bright moon nights, where the jade people teach to blow Xiao" of the romantic scenery, not only the severe cold shrouded the earth, the entire city around the city is occupied by the military camp, Huaidong and along the river soldiers and horses gathered, a faction of the coming war of the killing weather. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Tingzhi, who was standing in front of the steps, held a military newspaper in his hand, and in the subconscious force, the thin piece of paper was almost crumpled by his skinny fingers, and it was conceivable how anxious the master's mood would be.

The news in the military newspaper is exactly the same as what Zhang Shijie received, Jiangzhou fell, and he didn't even survive for a day, and he originally estimated that he was more optimistic than the latter, at least it was the ten-day period that passed, and he would not fall into the city until the reinforcements arrived, and he was given a heavy blow, he had no buffer for half a month, and the next step of the Yuan people would only be his Jiangdong Road, and where would the next nail be? He didn't even dare to imagine.

"It's cold, and the husband still has to take care of his body." A soft voice with a Jiangnan glutinous voice came to his ears, making his body relax, and a pair of slender hands draped a large fur-edged leather robe over his body.

In the public, of course he will not have anything to be courteous to be in power, and it is impossible to even hold hands, turning his head and looking at it quietly, it is already the most expressive way of communication between husband and wife, of course, from the affectionate eyes of the lady, Li Tingzhi saw more reluctance, which made him feel heartache.

Although he served in Jiankang early in the morning, but his family has always been in Yangzhou, if it wasn't for this trip to gather troops, I don't know when we will see each other, just when he added the title of governor, the lady also followed the routine from the county lady to the country lady, but all this is not as good as the upcoming ......

"Lady, the army may set off in the near future, Yangzhou...... It will become more and more empty, why don't you take Dalang and them to take shelter for a while, and wait until the situation is a little settled, and then ...... ...... again"

Facing those eyes that can see the bottom of his heart at a glance, Li Tingzhi's lies are extremely difficult, but fortunately, the husband and wife have known each other for decades, although his wife does not ask about things, she also guessed some clues, and did not let her husband be so embarrassed.

"Okay, where do you want our mother and son to go?"

"Jiankang." Li Tingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, the smile condensed on his lady's face froze, she originally thought she was going to her hometown or the rear, but she didn't expect it to be...... Jiankang, from her husband's slightly red complexion, she understood the other party's plan with a smart mind.

"The concubine will take Da Lang to go, can you leave Erlang behind?"

Li Tingzhi didn't nod or shake his head, until tears slipped down his pale face, and he couldn't help but reach out and make the most polite move of the day to wipe it for her.

Jiangzhou is not guaranteed, the Yuan people are about to go down the river, Jiankang City will become the last barrier to support Jiangnan, in this situation, he has no way to sit in person, in order to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people, such a choice is the only one, otherwise, who will believe in the meaning of sticking to it.

"I have already made a move to Jiankang, he will move from Zhenzhou to Jiankang, the city has abundant grain and grass, the garrison is stable, and the people are united, the Yuan people are absolutely helpless, it seems to be dangerous but it is not. Lady, when the enemy of Huaidong and Huaixi is broken, I will personally lead the army to relieve the siege of Jiankang, and at that time, maybe another big victory can be expected. ”

In his mother's mind, it was the first time for her husband to explain the battle situation for her, whether it was peace of mind or nothing, she understood that everything was irreparable, Huaidong was in danger, Huaixi was in danger, along the river was in danger, and there were fewer and fewer pure lands where the Great Song Dynasty could take refuge, so what difference did it make when she went?

In case of a sudden, his family was sent across the river by an official boat that day, and none of the eldest son who was not yet an adult and the young son who was still in Chongling were left, but for Li Tingzhi, this was not the only difficult choice.

The war in Huaidong has not yet begun, in order to seek a maximum victory, he had to gather all the elite generals, only Zhang Shixun and other cadres are left in Jiankang City, and no matter what, they also need a henchman, in desperation, the henchmen who were originally used in the direction of the Zhaoxin Army are the best candidates, and the plan to stabilize the Huaidong war situation in the expected two months will naturally be advanced, without the containment and support of another way, the whole plan is facing rectification.

There are 80,000 enemy troops under the city of Chuzhou, after a month and a half of siege warfare, although there is some consumption, but the Yuan people immediately replenished, from the quantitative point of view did not decrease, take the Zhaoxin army to cut off the enemy's retreat, prevent them from rushing to Huaixi, Miao Zaicheng's troops and horses are now going to Jiankang to defend the city, who will fill in?

"Narrative, if you divide the troops from Yangzhou, or go to the crowd with one drum, first relieve the siege of the Zhaoxin army, and then go to Chuzhou, how about it?"

"The public has a plan, so why do you need to say it to your subordinates." The scribe knew him well and knew that this was not an opinion, but an outpouring.

There are only more than 70,000 soldiers and horses gathered under the city of Yangzhou, which is still inferior to the Yuan people, and then divide the troops, borrowing someone's mantra: it becomes a clenched fist to stretch out, and poke people with their fingers, which is very unacceptable.

However, thinking of this person, the scribe seemed to mention it unintentionally: "My subordinates remember that Master Liu once had a cloud, and the war was not the business of the Huaidong family, nor was it the business of the Xianggong alone, grasp the overall situation, and make reasonable deployments, so that there is a chance of victory, and now it seems that it is a little prescient." ”

When Li Tingzhi heard him mention Liu Yu, he couldn't help but have a shadow in his mind, as if he had caught something all of a sudden.

"Go and get the map." He turned around and returned to the lobby, and did not go to his seat, so he ordered someone to take a few square tables under the hall, put them together, and synthesized a big case, and at this time, the scribe found the topographic map left by Liu Yu before and spread it out on the case.

The map is clearly marked that in Huaidong, in addition to his soldiers and horses gathered in Yangzhou, the people of Chu and Zhen are under the leadership of Miao Zaicheng, and the Hezhou and Wuwei troops along the river are not much, only Zhang Shijie, who is stationed in Anqing Mansion, can be called strong and strong, not to mention that he is also controlling some of Xia Gui's old troops, Li Tingzhi suddenly thought of why there was such a meeting in Jiangzhou in the first place, everything was like a deliberate arrangement, in order to deal with the current crisis.

"Jiangzhou has been lost, Zhang Shijie must be under a lot of pressure, if he can get his help, transport it to Zhenzhou by water, cross Duliang Mountain after landing, and go straight to Xuyi City, how can the Yuan people think of it, so when the effect of the surprise soldier can be obtained, can you contact him immediately?"

"Xianggong doesn't know, the imperial court has expressed him as a festival envoy, the governor Huaixi soldiers and horses, if there is no Tongyuan people to fight, there should be more than 50,000 people under his command at this moment, and it is very likely to retreat into the Wuwei army area, but such a proposal, the weight of subordinates is not enough, I am afraid that Xianggong will deign to talk to him personally."

The scribe's statement is very euphemistic, Li Tingzhi still doesn't understand what he wants to express, with Zhang Shijie's temperament, it is inappropriate to use his identity to suppress, only like Liu Yu, treat him as a partner who can cooperate, and give the necessary respect, maybe the effect he just said will be achieved.

"Okay, you have a story, and you really won my heart."

Of course, this kind of conversation that the scribe said was not a horseback or a boat for a few days and nights, but with Li Shiyi's subordinates, even if the distance was not enough to make an instant call, he could express his meaning clearly by paraphrasing, thus greatly saving time.

As for whether the other party will agree, Li Tingzhi believes in his own judgment and believes in Liu Yu's vision.

Long before the fall of Jiangzhou, some of the Taiping Prefecture had been abandoned, and the state city was not enough to resist on the one hand, it was too close to Jiankang, so it was better to withdraw the people, so as to save manpower and material resources.

These saved forces, including Yuan Hong, the governor of the state, were all transferred to the neighboring Ningguo Mansion, of course, he was also promoted to Taichang Shaoqing and Zhining Guofu, and stepped into the list of scarlet robes, but in the eyes of Yuan Niangzi, who was about to separate, this kind of promotion was not necessary, because both husband and wife knew very well that they were afraid that they would see each other indefinitely.

“...... Da Lang has always been smart, and he is good to find a master with him, and he will definitely have a future in the future, but I hope that by that time, the world will be too peaceful and worry-free. ”

In front of her son, Yuan Niangzi held back her tears, nodded her head incessantly, and kept her husband's words in her heart, and the sensible son also obediently listened to his father's teachings that might be the last time, until Yuan Hong sent them to the ox cart ruthlessly, only to find that one of his son's small hands was tightly tugging on his clothes, and he refused to let go.

"Da Lang, take care of your mother, if you can't come back for your father, this family will depend on you, remember what your father taught you."

"A man is born in the world, when he carries a three-foot sword and establishes an immortal honor, how can he die between the beds and laugh for the world." His son's tone made his heart sour.

Yuan Hong stroked his head, his tone became unprecedentedly gentle, without the fierce words of the past, perhaps it was this contrast that made the boy who was less than ten years old relax his guard, and his fingers were pried open one by one, until the tall figure suddenly left, and then he cried out with a "wow".

"Let's go!"

With the subordinate officials in the state and the sergeants he recruited, Yuan Hongtou did not look back and got on his horse, and the cry behind him was pasted like a shadow, so that he did not dare to stop the whip in his hand at all.

The people who followed him knew where they were going, and they knew that it was a point of no return, but everyone walked forward without hesitation, because most of them came from Chizhou, which was ravaged by the Tartars, and had nothing left but one life.
