"Oh? Mr. Lee, please. ”
"My Central Plains war is in the ascendant, and the lower officials have found out that Nanchen seems to be about to move, and a few days ago, tens of thousands of horses have been quietly sent north out of Jiangyang, and it seems that there is an opportunity to capture Jianghuai Shanyang City."
"Oh?" Yang Er couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the news, he couldn't sit still anymore, he hurriedly looked at the map, got up and walked back and forth a few steps after a while, and asked, "Is this news reliable?" If there is a large army stationed on the front line of Jiangyang and Jiangdu, it must covet the two cities of Shanyang and Xuku, and now Jianghuai has few soldiers, so it is necessary to guard against it. Yang Er thought as he spoke.
"After Master Li went down the mountain, he could quickly go to Wang Bo in Laizhou, mobilize 50,000 sailors, and be led by General Lu Mingyue to board the ship from the Jiaozhou Bay Military Port, and go south along the coastline to the mouth of the Huaishui Sea, and garrison Shanyang City through Huaishui. Even if Nan Chen didn't attack, he could threaten Nan Chen with a naval warship so that he didn't dare to move lightly. ”
"Lord, if the Laizhou army moves south, won't there be a lot of people who threaten Tangbi from the east?"
"It doesn't matter, the Beihai County of Tangbi is not enough to threaten my Donglai, and there is no need for my East Road First Army to enter Beihai County westward, but I ask Lord Li to send someone to inform Lu Zhaolin, so that he can launch an offensive as soon as possible, choose a shortcut to take Jinan Mansion, and implement the beheading plan pre-booked before the war."
"Yes, my lord. Xia Guan went down the mountain and returned to Qi County. ”
"Lord Li doesn't need to be so eager, even if Nan Chen sends troops to invade my Shanyang City, it will not be smooth sailing, rest for one night, and it will not be too late to return tomorrow."
"Then Xia Guan will stay on this immortal mountain for one more night, hehe!"
After the two finished talking, they both laughed easily.
At this time, I saw Zhong Jian leading a person in again, and I saw this person take out a letter from his arms and hand it to Zhong Jian, and Zhong Jian hurriedly handed it to Yang Second.
Yang Er opened the letter without hurry, and immediately laughed.
"The icing on the cake is none other than Pei Yun! Lady Lee, please take a look. After laughing, Yang Er handed Pei Yun's handwritten book to Li Taizhi.
"Congratulations to the lord, so Luokou City will easily return to the hands of our army." Li Taizhi also smiled happily after reading the letter.
"Hmmm! Lord Li will go down the mountain tomorrow and go to Luokou City to meet Pei Yun, pass on the words of the king, and let him take advantage of the situation to divide his troops to attack Luoyang, and go south to take advantage of the weakness to take the Central Plains states, cutting off the retreat of the Central Plains kings. Don't delay. Yang Er said to Li Taizhi seriously.
"Yes, my lord, the lower officials will bring the words of the lord."
"Hehehehehe---" The two of them laughed again.
Jinan Mansion.
In Tang Bi's mansion hall, Tang Bi's face was gloomy, his triangular eyes were slightly closed, and a thin slit left behind shot a cold gaze, scanning everyone in the hall. This made all the civilians and soldiers in the hall fidget, but they didn't dare to speak.
"Smack!" Tang Bi, who was seated, slapped the table and said sharply: "Originally, I thought that Puyang was a fortified city, and there were 80,000 defenders, and there were abundant reserves of grain and ordnance. The government thought it would be able to hold on for at least a month, but it didn't want to lose it after only 20 days. What makes the government even more heartbroken is that Feng Deyi is too loyal and righteous, and he killed himself in the city, which is really painful for the house! Tang Bi was angry again, and he was sad for his friend's death, and he couldn't speak.
"Fujun, once Puyang City is lost, the entire territory of Puzhou will be lost. At present, the Ministry of Yu Culture and the Ministry is trying to try to Yuncheng Mansion in Jeju County, Qi County, and if Yuncheng is lost, Bingfeng will arrive close to my Jinan Mansion. Think about how to keep Yuncheng! Yin Yue, the chief secretary of Jinan Mansion, said.
"Lord, I originally had 100,000 defenders in Yuncheng, and now there are about 50,000 defeated soldiers who have escaped from Puyang City, all of whom have entered Yuncheng, including Dongfang Huang, Yang Biao, Dongfang Bo, etc., the former Puyang generals. In this way, the number of defenders in Yuncheng is also above 150,000. Yuncheng, which is so heavily defended, should be impregnable. Jinan General Chu De said out of class.
"Hmmm! The loss of Puyang was due to Feng Deyi's failure to deal with the soldiers of other counties, so that the soldiers of the government opened the city gate in a panic and were used by Yu Culture. Alas! It's really a big loss! Yuncheng must not make such mistakes. Tang Bi got up and said to the martial arts of his subordinates, and his words seemed to be immersed in the grief of Puyang's defeat and the death of his friend.
"What a lesson from the past! Master Yin's book and this government ordered your capable people to immediately send 500,000 stones of grain and grass to Yuncheng to ensure that the 150,000 soldiers in Yuncheng will not be short of food for at least 3 months. The government is writing a letter to Tang Jin, ordering him to close the city gate and not let a single soldier or soldier enter the city, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Puyang City. ”
"The subordinate obeys." Yin Yue agreed.
"Lord Wang, I don't know if there is the latest battle report from Tongguan? Some time ago, it was reported that more than 1,000 ships of the Jin army sailors were going up the river, and I don't know where they went? I think there must be something strange in it. Seeing that Tang Bi's complexion was gradually improving, Gao Keren whispered.
"Alas! It's okay for Mr. Gao not to say this, but it's annoying when he does. Tang Bi sat down and continued: "Wang Shichong is incompetent! His thousands of generals and 550,000 horses were blocked under the city of Tongguan for nearly a month, so that they lost their ground and dragged 60,000 elites of the government to them. Tang Bi was angry when he saw Gao Keren mentioning the Allied Army's attack on Tongguan, and said indignantly.
"Lord Wang, this matter is not good! can send a letter to ask the handsome Tang Long to immediately lead the people of the headquarters to return and attack Yu Wenhua and the ministry from behind. If we can persuade Wang Shichong's allied forces to enter Qi County east to help me in Jinan, the danger of my Yuncheng can be solved immediately, and Puyang can be easily recovered. Why should you be blocked in Tongguan, it is useless to spend money and food, obviously it is impossible to besiege the capital. ”
"Fu Jun, Qualcomm's judgment is reasonable! Right now, I'm in urgent need of rescue troops in Jinan, why not let Wang Shichong lead troops to help? Yin Yue also said loudly.
"This government has also thought about this matter for a long time, how can I go to Tongguan thousands of mountains and rivers, the road is far away, and when the government asks it to withdraw from the letter, I am afraid that it has overcome the pass to attack the capital. Let's wait and see! Tang Bi said helplessly.
"Lord Wang, Xia Guan has never known where the more than 1,000 warships of his sailors will go? Is it to transport troops or food? If it is to transport grain from Jiyuan, it is easy to say, but if it is to transport troops, it must be guarded against! Gao Keren has always paid close attention to the movements of the Jin Army's sailors, and there is also a hint of hidden worries. Judging from the signs, it should be to Jiyuan to transport grain or troops to help Jizhou Jin Junyu Culture and Ministry to use troops in Jinan. But there seemed to be no follow-up, which kept him uneasy.
"Alas! That's all for today! Master Yin can go to distribute grain. If there is an update on the battle, it will not be too late for you to come and discuss. Tang Bi, who had always been in a bad mood, didn't want to think about anything that had nothing to do with his war, so he ended the government discussion.
In the back hall, the orphaned family of his friend Feng Deyi is still waiting for him to go over to appease him!
Gao Keren was unwilling, and he slowly dragged himself to the end, still thinking with his head down.
When he returned to Gaofu, he met the Gaofu official who was about to go out to find him. Seeing Gao Keren appear at the door, he hurriedly stepped forward and dragged him to the main hall, and said: "Xianggong is finally back, and the uncle is waiting for Xianggong in the front hall!" ”
"What's so flustered?" Gao Keren was shocked, and naturally felt a little bad, so he hurriedly asked.
"Please go to the hall and ask the lord!"
As they spoke, the two entered the antechamber. Sure enough, the patriarch of the Gao family was anxiously bowing his head and walking back and forth, thinking, and there were words in his mouth.
"Brother, what's the matter?" Gao Keren hurriedly stepped forward and saluted his brother.
"Alas! It's messed up, it's all messed up. Brother Kerenxian, do you know? The Jin army of Zezhou crossed the Yellow River from Wenxian and was storming Luokou City, perhaps now Luokou City has fallen into the hands of the Jin army. ”
"Ahh The younger brother was just discussing in the mansion, why didn't he hear Tang Fujun talk about it? Is the message reliable? Gao Keren's first reaction was that what he was worried about had happened. Sure enough, those big ships that left Liyang City went to Wen County in Jiyuan to cross the river.
"Alas! Virtuous brother! The news is true! When one of the sons of my clan went to Luokou City, he saw the Jin army coming from Wenxian Ferry on a boat to cross the river halfway, and its vanguard was heading to Luokou City, and this disciple had just sent back the news. Brother Wei thinks that this is not because Yang Guang is simply using troops against Jinan Mansion, but at least sending troops to invade the Central Plains in the south by two routes. The attack on Puyang has been successful all the way, and if Luokou City is lost again, the gate to enter the Central Plains will be opened. Brother Xian thinks that now all the kings of the Central Plains have placed heavy troops and Tongguan, and want to threaten the capital, and the states of the Central Plains are empty! "The patriarch of the Gao family is also a well-informed person, and he knows the importance of Luokou City, and he has already come to such a creepy result, and Gao Keren is also sweating on his back.
"Brother clan, and wait here, Rong will go to see Lord Fujun again." After that, Gao Keren was about to turn around and go out, but was pulled by his brother by his cuffs.
"Virtuous brother! That Luokou City is not the land of the Tang Prince, it is useless for you to go and talk to him! It is better to think about my Gao family first, and see that the kings are about to be defeated when they rebel. ”
"That's what the clan brother said. In this way, it seems that the kings have turned their backs on the evil and there are few auspicious ones. Wang Shichong's army is far away in Tongguan, and if Luokou is lost, the Jin army will inevitably besiege Luoyang City. If the troops are divided south to capture the states of the Central Plains, the states will be lost. At that time, my Qi County will be alone. After being reminded by the clan brother, Gao Keren suddenly woke up and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"This is also because my brother is anxious to consult with you! If it is then, where will my Gao family go? ”
"Brother, the Jin army is strong, this Jinan Mansion should leave as soon as possible. The family can be divided into two ways to settle down. All the way south into Nanchen, all the way north to Jinyang. There are no military disasters in both of these places, and they are both stable. Besides, Empress Chen or Tang Duke Li Yuan are extremely kind to the family, and it is more appropriate for my family to divide it into two. Gao Keren thought for a while and said.
"Is the virtuous brother really going to give up this Tang Wall? Being a brother has given Tang Bi a lot of benefits in the past few years! Is this just going to be abandoned? Do you want to leave one in Jinan Province? ”
"Brother, judging from the younger brother, this Tang Bi can't be around for a while. Now the Jin army of Jizhou by Yu Wenhua and led the attack on Qi County of the army reached as many as 350,000, that Puyang City is too guarded Feng Deyi old treacherous and cunning people can not hold Puyang City, Yuncheng guard is a straw bag Tang Jin, this Tang Jin in the defense of Dong'an, heard that Langya soldiers abandoned the city and fled. Not only was he not punished by the Tang Dynasty, but he was entrusted with the important task of garrisoning Yuncheng. This alone is enough to see that Tang Bi is not a Ming Jun. Sooner or later, Qi County will fall into the hands of Yang Guang, if our clan is still in Jinan at that time, it will be destroyed by Yu Culture and the clan! ”
"Brother Xian, speaking of Langya, there is a small news here for my brother, saying that Du Fuwei's department has changed its clothes and voted for Yang Guang, the king of Jin, but I don't know if it's true or not?"
"Ahh This ---" Gao Keren suddenly heard the news, and was a little dizzy for a while.
"Brother, most of the younger brother's guesses are true. This Jinan Mansion can't stay for a moment, and Brother Wang's family has already made plans. The clan brother can go to the south Chen Jiankang to vote for the queen of Chen, and the younger brother can lead a group to Jinyang to vote for Li Yuan, so as to keep my Gaomen bloodline. The younger brother is going to see Tang Fujun. With that, he ignored the still stunned clan brother and hurriedly ran out of the door.
Not to mention the two heavy news that Tang Bi got from Gao Keren's mouth, he was so shocked that he almost fainted. Let's just say that Lu Zhao's southward army from the neighboring department.
When he got the news that Yu Wenhua and his ministry crossed the river to besiege Puyang, Lu Zhaolin led the 100,000 Jin troops stationed in Gaomi City, Donghai County, to Jiaozhou Bay in accordance with the agreement with the lord Yang Er, boarded the large sea ship of Lu Mingyue, the general of the naval division here, and went south along the coastline to land in Rizhao County and Shanyang City in Langya County. Lu Zhaolin took Xue Wanche, Zuo Tiancheng and Wu Bao as the main force, and immediately after landing in Rizhao, he joined the Jianghuai army of Fugongshi in Langya County. Rushing all the way to the west, he went straight to the two cities of Dong'an and Xintai, captured the Xintai defender alive, and forced the Dong'an guard Tang Jin to abandon the city and flee back to Jinan Mansion by surprise.
After easily taking the last two strongholds of Tang Bi in Langya, he played the banner of "Jin", disclosed his identity, and let the original Jianghuai Army change its clothes. The Jianghuai Du Fuwei army turned into the Jianghuai army of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, with a new Jianghuai Jin army of 120,000, plus the main force of Lu Zhaolin's southward Jin army, with a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses in the two places.
Lai Hu'er led 20,000 Jin troops to land in Shanyang City, focusing on preventing Nanchen from attacking from the north, so that Lu Zhaolin and Xue Wanche had no worries.
On this day, Lu Zhaolin gathered at the Dong'an City Marshal's Mansion to discuss the attack on Jinan City, and the former Jianghuai Army generals Fu Gongshi, Fu Gongyou, Yin Jie, Xing Kuang and several generals from his headquarters all arrived. Also present at the pre-military meeting was Li Taizhi, a thousand households of the Shandong Military Intelligence Department, who made a special trip to the meeting.
"Generals, Qianhu, this marshal has received the lord's edict brought by Li Qianhu here, and now he needs to adjust his deployment. The Fugong Shi Division, which was originally preparing to attack Rencheng in Lu County to the west, did not move for the time being, and the main Gonggong expected that the Chengshan Xiongxin Department would not dare to use troops against our Pingyi. Leaving 10,000 horses to garrison Pingyi City, General Fu Gongshi rashly returned to Shanyang City with 30,000 horses to garrison, it is reported that Nan Chen has mobilized a large army and Jiangdu, Jiangyang line to go north to capture our Shanyang City. Lu Zhaolin said and looked at Fu Gongshi.
"Don't worry, the last general will return to Pingyi tomorrow, personally lead 30,000 troops back to defend Shanyang, if it is convenient, a certain and general Laihu'er went to take the two cities of Jiangdu and Jiangyang in the north of the Chen River, and also presented the victory of the Central Plains War for the Lord Gong." Fu Gongshi got up and answered, and his bold words immediately caused the generals in the house to laugh.
"Huh! The lord didn't say that he would not let troops attack Nanchen, but the two cities of Nanchen hanging in the north of the river were also coveted fat. Lu Zhaolin whispered to Li Taizhi, Li Taizhi didn't make a sound but couldn't help nodding, his eyes were full of smiles, and he looked at Fu Gongshi and other former Jianghuai generals, which made these generals happy.
