(Ask for a red ticket)

After being captured from Xiongjiagang, Haowenzhuang was like ashes, and sat in the prisoner car without saying a word.

Wen Chengyun is not afraid of death, but this defeat made him unwilling in the end, he still can't figure out how Huaidong quietly sent tens of thousands of elites to Chai Mountain to lurk, and then pounced a fatal blow after the main force of Beiyan was tempted to go south.

I don't understand this, how willing is Wen Chengyun to lose?

Wen Chengyun's clothes and armor were forcibly stripped off in Xiongjiagang, leaving only a thin robe, shivering in the cold air, torn to pieces when he was captured, and there were still blood marks on his face that were beaten by the Huaidong soldiers under the handle of the knife, and two front teeth were knocked out; On the contrary, there was no struggle at all, but he did not suffer much.

There is a special and heavily guarded prisoner of war camp on the north side of Zhaohu Mountain, but Xuan Wenzhuang and Wen Chengyun are different from ordinary prisoners of war, but they are directly escorted to the main camp and temporarily imprisoned in a sturdy wooden house.

The hut was isolated from the rest of the barracks, and there were double posts outside, and everything in the hut that could be used to kill or injure people was cleaned and cleaned, and even the oil lamps had only a small amount of oil, and they emitted a dim glow on the table, not even as bright as the light thrown in by the campfire outside.

However, the location of the wooden house is better, through the window, you can see the situation of Zhaohu Mountain, and in the early morning light, you can see the general situation of Zhaohushan camp.

On the slope to the west, there are Huaidong soldiers wearing armor, except for the outlying sentry posts, most of them sit on the ground, it should be the soldiers and horses who have been mobilized and sit there waiting for the military order to set off immediately, and further north, there are also large groups of cavalry in formation......

Seeing the scene in front of him, Wen Chengyun was still shocked: Huaidong went all out to break the defense and chase after him, Lin Tie still had so many reserve soldiers and horses left in the camp, looking at the scale of soldiers and horses on the western slope, I am afraid that there are no less than 10,000 people, and this is only a corner of the entire Zhaohushan camp.

Luxury Wenzhuang escorted him into the wooden house, and sat in front of the lamp, ignoring the situation outside the window - his era is completely over, even if he sees the Huaidong army at this time, what good is it? It's just to increase the bitterness in my heart.

At this time, there was a rustle outside the door, and a group of people came over, Wen Chengyun turned his head and watched the door push open......

Hao Wenzhuang raised his head, his eyesight had decreased a little in the past two years, and the light was dim at this time, but when he saw that the person who came was wearing a skirt, he also knew that the person who came was not Song Fu, but Song Fu's daughter.

"You bitch, what are you doing here?" Wen Chengyun pointed at Song Jia's face and scolded, "Could it be that the fox in the East China Sea is so small that he wants you, a woman, to humiliate Duke Wenzhuang?" Song Fu'er, don't you have the courage to come to see us? ”

"Lin Jian fell asleep soundly after night, and did not wake up; The father was afraid that the old people would see each other, which only increased his sadness. Song Jia thought that the Duke of Wenzhuang was confused, so he came over to see him, "Song Jia didn't mind Wen Chengyun's scolding, bowed to the luxury Wenzhuang, and said, "The concubine is the Song family, and I have seen the Duke of Wenzhuang." ”

"Alas," said Hao Wenzhuang, with a light sigh, "your father has said that this son should not be underestimated, and now it seems that your father is right; Your father doesn't want to see his old man, and I have nothing to hold grudge against? ”

"Xie Wenzhuang is considerate." Song Jia said.

"Is Mingyue good?" Hao Wenzhuang asked.

"Living in a quiet temple and guarding the grave, without outsiders to worry about, is quite fine." Song Jia said.

"Oh," Haowenzhuang didn't ask Mingyue whose grave it was, thinking of other things, he opened his mouth to speak, thought about it and stopped, and after a while, he sighed and said, "I will leave a handwritten letter to tell the people of Jian'an to put down their blades, just to exchange for a glass of wine and a whole corpse ......."

"I'll tell Lin Jiao," Song Jia said, "Does Gong Wenzhuang have anything else to tell Song Jia?" ”

"No more. I wanted to see Lin Tie, but I was still a little unwilling when I was in Xiongjiagang, but now I understand it: what is the benefit of seeing it, and what is the grievance if I don't see it? Hao Wenzhuang said.

Song Jia's bright eyes looked at Hao Wenzhuang for a moment, and saw that his face was as heavy as water, as if a sculpture was standing there, so that people couldn't see any emotions on him, so he bowed and left, regardless of Wen Chengyun who was standing aside.

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

Lin Jian woke up from a full sleep, the sunset was shining outside, and only Song Jia was sitting indoors.

"How long did I sleep?" Lin Jian sat up and asked Song Jia by the head of the bed.

"It's not a long time, it's only eight or nine hours," Song Jia smiled gently, picked up the cold clothes and waited for Lin Tie to put them on, and said, "Duke Wenzhuang is detained in the camp, just asking for a glass of wine......

"Oh," Lin Jian was slightly stunned, looked at Song Jia suspiciously, and asked, "His request is so simple, so what is he doing here?" ”

"He asked about Mingyue, and probably wanted to meet you, but he broke off this idea when he came; He would leave a handwritten letter asking the enemy of Jian'an to surrender, and he didn't say anything else," Song Jia said, "If you have an opinion about him, it's ......good to see him."

"What do I see him doing?" Lin Jian seemed to be asking himself, thought for a while, shook his head again, and said, "It's useless to see......"

"Gong Wen Zhuang also said the same, and he also said: What is the complaint if you don't see it?" Song Jia said, "News has been sent back from Shicheng that Su Tingzhan and Hao Yuan abandoned Shicheng in the early morning. At this time, the news went out, falsely claiming that the Duke of Wenzhuang had surrendered, or he could ask Ye Jiluo Rong to behead Su Tingzhan and extravagant Yuan before the battle......"

It would take three to five days for Su Tingzhan and Hao Yuan to go north against the current and withdraw to Xiangyang, if Ye Ji Luorong believed that the defeat in Eastern Hubei was due to the loss of fighting spirit of Hao Wenzhuang and the first flight of his grandson, Ye Ji Luo Rong could still intercept Su Tingzhan and Hao Yuan before they crossed Xiangyang.

On the contrary, if Hao Wenzhuang decisively went to his death and took the responsibility for the collapse of Eastern Hubei Province, Ye Jiluo Rong would probably not be in a hurry to investigate Su Tingzhan and Hao Yuan for fleeing north; At least they would not order the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang to intercept them when Su Tingzhan and Hao Yuan still had a certain ability to protect themselves.

"You want me to use this trick?" Lin Jian looked at Song Jia's bright and beautiful eyes in the sunset.

"I don't want to," Song Jia shook her head and said, "But there are some things I can't help but say......"

Lin Jian touched Song Jia's face lovingly, and said, "Then forget it, send a glass of wine to Luwenzhuang, I won't see him either." If he really wants to spread the false news, Su Tingzhan is more likely to kill Hao Yuan in front of Ye Ji Luorong to prove his innocence. No matter how I look at it, I don't look like the kind of person who will kill everything. The sooner the situation in northern Fujian can settle down, the better, this mountain and river has already suffered too much damage......"

"If there are people in northern Fujian who are unwilling to surrender, can they have a chance to leave the Central Plains?" Song Jia asked.

"Your sister, you say?" Lin Jian asked, thinking that Song Fu also had a daughter who married a luxury Feihu and had a son, and said with a smile, "If you don't say it, I forgot about it, how can a four- or five-year-old son know what a national hatred is?" If you don't want to leave, it doesn't matter if you stay, they don't owe any blood debt, do you suspect that I don't even have the bearing to accommodate a four or five-year-old child? Forget it, I have to write a letter to Zhao Qingshan and ask him to handle this matter properly. ”

"I'm not suspicious of you, it's just that there are some things that I can't help myself." Song Jia said.

"......," Lin Jian sighed softly and said, "Yes, some things seem to be involuntary. For thousands of years, there has not been a time when it has not been bloody, and the power of habit has often been so strong that it is difficult to disobey. However, if I don't change these bad habits and bad habits, do I expect others to change them? If I don't change it, sooner or later it will be my children and grandchildren's turn. Is there really an iron-clad country in this world? When I go back this time, I'll abolish this set......"

"Really don't see the side of Gong Wen Zhuang?"

"It's gone," Lin Jian sighed and said, "He may have thought that he had really seen me through this time, but how could he have seen me through?" ”

"Yes, if he sees through you, how could he ask Hao Yuan to take his clan to follow Su Tingzhan?" Song Jia sighed.

After the death of Luxury Feihu and Luxury Flying Bear, Luxury Yuan can be said to be the last heir of the Luxury family, but he has been serving as a personal guard by the side of Luxury Wenzhuang for a long time, and has not independently commanded a war in a complete sense, so Lin Jian did not let Gao Zongting list Luxury Yuan and a large number of people with eight surnames who fled north along the Han River with Luxury Yuan as war criminals who must be executed.

Of course, the extravagant Yuan and the eight surnamed relatives will be liquidated and punished after the war, but the vast majority of people did not directly participate in the war, nor did they directly participate in the slaughter of the people of Zhejiang, Fujian and Jingxiang, and their lives are still worry-free, even if they suffer from hard labor, it will not be particularly serious.

Lin Jian smiled, waved his hand, and said, "I'm going to see the sect court and them to see how far the war has developed." ”

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

It seems that they have forgotten about the luxury of the village, and no one mentions the section of the luxury house.

The Chinese army tent was still busy, Lin Jian walked in, asked everyone to be busy with the things in their hands, no need to salute, walked to the sand table, and asked Fu Qinghe, Gao Zongting, Song Fu and others: "What step have you reached?" "The map is so dazzling that it's hard to see for a while.

"There is no further news from Jingzhou for the time being, after all, it is far away, and Su Tingzhan intends to flee alone, and he will also deliberately delay in Shicheng to spread the news to Jingzhou, and I think that Song Gong and Zong Ting believe that Ye Ji Luorong is likely not to know the news of the collapse of Eastern Hubei at this time......" Fu Qinghe said.

Jingzhou is also more than 400 miles away from Huangpi in a straight line on the map, not to mention the mountains, rivers, lakes and marshes between the two places. Stone Castle was originally a key point for enemy forces to connect the east and west shores. Su Tingzhan intended to flee alone, and he would naturally delay the opportunity for Ye Ji Luorong to know the whole picture in Shicheng.

"It's not a big problem for Jingzhou to know a day earlier or a day later," Lin Jian said, "What is the situation in Eastern Hubei?" ”

Lin Liancai didn't care about Hu Wenmu's life or death, Zuo Chengmu stood aside and didn't say a word: Hu Wenmu can't hold Jingzhou, who can he blame?

"Li Baidao and Zhao Bao led more than 4,000 people to ride on foot, and they have reached the southern foot of Dahong Mountain, and entered between Huclaw Mountain and Xiangshan," Fu Qinghe said, "Nearly 100,000 enemies were defeated, and most of them were drowned between Yunmeng and Jingling. The enemy generals Ma Dekui, Ji Shiben and others have been captured, and Sun Jichang is still on the run, and it is impossible to know the enemy's whereabouts. Because Su Tingzhan and Hao Yuan abandoned Shicheng and fled first, taking away most of the enemy's ships in Shicheng, Meng Anchan led the enemy cavalry to retreat to the south of Shicheng, but it was impossible to cross the river from Shicheng to the west bank of the Han River, and it was very likely that he would risk fleeing north between Zaoyang and Fancheng - as early as yesterday morning, Ziang had asked Liu Zhenzhi to lead his troops to Pinglinbu to block the enemy, and he would engage the enemy on the front line of Longzui Mountain and Heishigou at the northern foot of Dahong Mountain before nightfall at the earliest. Sun Zhuang led his troops to annihilate the enemy troops gathered east of Fancheng at Baihetan, but in the situation that Chen Zhihu might lead his troops into Nanyang, there was no chance to seize Xinye in the north, and Sun Zhuang should send a group of soldiers and horses to join Liu Zhenzhi and intercept the enemy cavalry fleeing north......"

On the east bank of the Han River, Yan Hu's descendants were mainly the 20,000 cavalry under Meng Anchan. It is better to let Zhong Rong and Luo Xiancheng go for the time being, and also focus on encircling and annihilating Meng Anciao's department.

Lin Jian nodded in understanding and asked, "What about the enemies of Fengshan, Tiemen Mountain, and Xiaochang?" ”

"Chen Hansan broke away from Fengshan, he still has a certain strength, and he avoided the Flag Mountain, and I have ordered Yue Zhi to lead his troops to chase and suppress; In addition, Deng Yu led his troops to the front line of Dawa Mountain, and according to the news before dusk, he was still sixty miles away from Xiaochang City. It is estimated that he rushed to the city of Xiaochang, Zhong Rong and Wang Xian'er had abandoned Xiaochang and fled north," Fu Qinghe said, "With Zhong Rong and Wang Xian'er retreating to Xiaochang, there are still fifteen or six thousand enemy soldiers, who may flee through Suizhou and Lishan to the northern foot of Huaishan to join Luo Xiancheng." In the north of Xiaochang, Ziang led two brigades of soldiers and horses to guard Lishan, Zhou Tong supervised the battle in Suizhou, there were six brigades of soldiers and horses, and there were more than 3,000 remnants in the inner city of Suizhou who had not surrendered, and I was afraid that there was no spare strength to set up an ambush between Suizhou and Lishan to intercept Zhong Rong......"

"Tell Ziang to occupy Zaoyang and send troops to pierce between Huaishan and Tongbai Mountain, and ask Luo Xiancheng and Zhong Rong to enter the northern vein of Huaishan and have no chance to escape to Nanyang." Lin Jian said.

"Luo Xiancheng can't enter Tongbai Mountain, and from Huaishan to the north, there is a mighty Huaishui in the middle of Xinyang Mansion, so Luo Xiancheng can't cross it, he is desperate and has no escape, and it is really possible to vote for Dong Yuan." Gao Zongting said.

"Isn't Dong Yuan the idea of fighting, why don't you ask him to take away those remnants of the defeated army? Let's tell him to lose even his bottoms and pants this time, what's the point next? Lin Jian laughed and said, "Draft a Privy Council order for me, and send someone to send it to Dong Yuan: He will collect those remnants of the defeated army, but I must see the heads ......of Luo Xiancheng and Zhong Rong."

Zuo Chengmu listened to the strange: after Luo Xiancheng and Zhong Rong converged, there were still sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses, and the road for them to flee north was blocked, and there was indeed the possibility of surrendering Dong Yuan begging for his life - Huaidong would not be rare Luo Xiancheng's surrender at this time, but Dong Yuan, who was already greedy, would inevitably starve.

Dong Yuan is based in Huaixi, and over the years, he has carefully suppressed Tao Chun and Xiao Kuian, and cultivated his own lineage. Huaixi's 110,000 soldiers and horses, now there are 60,000 or 70,000 people who are his descendants, and then ask Dong Yuan to collect Luo Xiancheng and Zhong Rong's troops, and the strength will increase sharply again, what confidence does Lin Jian have to ask Dong Yuan to obediently surrender the heads of Luo Xiancheng and Zhong Rong?

Although Huaidong will occupy an absolute advantage after this battle, after all, there is no generation of self-reliance. If Dong Yuan bypassed the Privy Council and directly asked for an edict from Emperor Yongxing to pardon Luo Xiancheng and Zhong Rong, Lin Jian would not be able to help him in a short time, right? Lin Jian couldn't directly send troops to conquer Huaixi at this time.
