In the matter of defense, Lin Jian is only the main point of the outline deed, and Gao Zongting will stay in Fancheng for a few more days to discuss the specific details with Yuan Guizheng and Tao Chun.

After the meeting of the defense council, Lin Jian unabashedly left Taochun at the banquet, and made Yuan Guizheng go back to the post house alone, and ignored Liu Tingzhou's vomiting blood.

Speaking of the grievances between Tao Chun and Huaidong, I'm afraid it will take a while.

In the early years of the Eastern Fujian Army, Tao Chun was an important general second only to the Five Tigers; Li Zhuo was transferred to Jiangning, the Eastern Fujian Army was dismantled, and the two towns of Shaowu and Jian'an were organized, and Tao Chun lived under Lu Jingyan in Shaowu Town.

In the ninth year of Chongguan, Shao Wuqi's army went north to Qinwang, Tao Chun was attracted by Yue Lengqiu, and led his troops to go west to avoid the main force of Yanhu's soldiers and horses, which led to the division of Shaowu's army, Lu Jingyan and thousands of Shao Wu generals died in Jinan, and Tao Chun followed Yue Lengqiu to advance eastward from the western front in the later stage of the war, stealing war exploits, which directly led to Shao Wuqi's army Geng Quanshan, Chen Dingbang, and Chu Zheng's generals as enemies.

Yue Lengqiu formed the Changhuai Army on the basis of Tao Chun's department, and relied on the Changhuai Army to control the military and government in Jiangdong for a long time.

During the Huaisi War, Yue Lengqiu led the Changhuai army to be besieged in Xuzhou, Tao Chun broke through to Huai'an alone, and asked for help from Lin Lian, who was the envoy of Huaidong at that time and led the troops in Huai'an.

When Yanjing fell and the northern land collapsed, Tao Chun, with the support of Yue Lengqiu, officially took full control of the Changhuai army and stationed in the central part of Hehuai. At that time, Yue Lengqiu supported Dong Yuan to go to Shouzhou to form the Huaixi Defense Line, and Tao Chun was merged with Dong Yuan to control until now......

Don't look at anything else, just look at the generals and ministers who were active on the battlefield in the Central Plains from the late Chongguan period to this time, and you can know that Li Zhuo deserves the title of famous marshal.

Chen Zhihu and Dong Yuan were both figures of the Five Tigers of Eastern Fujian at that time, one was the king of Qin by Hu Lu at this time, and the other was the feudal official of South Vietnam; Gao Zongting was the head of Li Zhuo's curtain, and at this time he was in charge of the Military Intelligence Department in the Privy Council with the Zuodian Book Order, and the weight of power was second only to Lin Mengde, Lin Xuwen, Fu Qinghe and other two or three people in Huaidong.

The Privy Council's Military Intelligence Department was nominally set up to provide military intelligence for the war, but with the support of Lin Lian, the Military Intelligence Department had actually developed into the military command structure of the Huaidong Army. In addition to providing information, he was also responsible for drawing up and organizing the implementation of strategic campaign plans and mobilization plans, directing and deploying and coordinating the combat operations of the armies, the battalion defense areas, and the prefectures and counties.

In addition to Chen Zhihu, Dong Yuan, and Gao Zongting, Gao Yi, Leng Zilin, Ao Canghai, Tao Chun, Chen Dingbang, Geng Quanshan, Chu Zheng, Yu Wencheng, Tang Fuguan, Yu Wenbei, Huang Zuyu, and other important generals who lived on the battlefield in the Central Plains were also from the Eastern Fujian Army.

On the battlefield of the Western Front at this time, it was the general Gao Yi who defended the Wuguan on behalf of Chen Zhihu to guard the central and southern gateways, and the commander of the Nanyang Xing Camp and the commander of the Changshan Army, Ao Canghai, who was not only born in the Eastern Fujian Army, was also a general of Chen Zhihu's troops, and Gao Yi was the chief and deputy commander of the forward battalion of his department, and he would fight side by side for ten years.

Dong Yuan controlled the Henan army, Ming and Hu Lu were enemies, and secretly colluded, and Lin Jian used Yue Lengqiu to contain him, the grievances and entanglements in this are really not something that anyone can figure out for a while......

Although Tao Chun's intention to oppose Huaidong in the past was also quite resolute, Ning Zechen led his troops from Xinyang to seize Shouzhou with a surprise attack, and Tao Chun remained silent and immobile in Wuyang: In addition to the many reasons for Dong Yuan's pressure in recent years, Tao Chun also saw that when Ning Zechen entered Shouzhou from Xinyang to the east, he announced that Dong Yuan's ambition to accept the attached army of Suizhou, control the northern vein of Huaishan, and withdraw troops from Yanhu North to restrict the Huaidong army to occupy Jingxiang and Nanyang - Tao Chun had to consider his own way out.

Next, Lin Lian transferred Yue Lengqiu to the north to balance Dong Yuan - Tao Chun was far away from Dong Yuan and close to Yue Lengqiu at this time, in addition to his deep relationship with Yue Lengqiu in the past, many of the generals under the jurisdiction of Voryang Town were promoted by Yue Lengqiu, more realistic considerations, after the Battle of Jingxiang, the road that Dong Yuan could take became narrower and narrower, and although Yue Lengqiu said that he was also opposed to Huaidong in the past, Lin Lian was able to use Yue Lengqiu to go north to balance Dong Yuan, which meant that the antagonistic relationship between Yue Lengqiu and Huaidong began to ease greatly.

Tao Chun came to Fancheng to see Lin Jian this time, just as he regarded himself as a general of Yue Lengqiu's lineage, and wanted to further ease the relationship between Yue Lengqiu and Huaidong.

This is naturally what Lin Jian and the people of Huaidong are willing to see......

used the Suizhou subordinate army as bait to lure Dong Yuan to transfer the soldiers and horses from the hinterland of Shouzhou, and made Ning Zechen directly lead his troops down the river from Xinyang to seize Shouzhou, in fact, he considered the possibility of Dong Yuan's dog jumping over the wall and descending Yan in a hurry-

After several battles of Yanhu's southern invasion, the main force of the new attached Han army that was later given to Yanhu and used for the southern expedition, Chen Zhihu, Yuan Lishan, and Zhou Fansan were all in the situation of the city being trapped and desperate, and then surrendered to the enemy and turned to Hu Lu to be loyal.

For the generals of the Han family, the surrender of Hulu is not a trivial matter, and it needs to cross a big psychological threshold.

It is precisely because of this psychological pass, especially in the later stage of the Battle of Jingxiang, that the Huaidong Army began to represent South Vietnam in the case of recovering its strategic disadvantage, even if Dong Yuan jumped over the wall in a hurry to surrender to Yanhu, the Huaixi generals, and even Dong Yuan's descendants, blindly surrendered to Hulu with Dong Yuan, and it was impossible for them to account for the majority.

Lin Lian, Gao Zongting and others speculated that after the loss of Shouzhou, if Dong Yuan directly surrendered to Yanhu, it was likely to induce the collapse of the Huaixi army.

However, the composition of this psychological barrier is very complicated, before the concept of the national family and the people has not been completely formed, whether they can be loyal to the court and the imperial family is the core of the loyalty standard of the civil and military generals - once Lin Jian abolishes Yuan Yue and establishes a new dynasty, this psychological barrier will be broken suddenly.

Because they were worried that they would be attacked and suppressed by Huaidong, many generals in Huaixi might even take the initiative to surrender to Yanhu by Dong Yuan.

If the problem of Huaixi is not solved well, Lin Jian will not be able to gather enough troops and horses on the eastern front for the Northern Expedition, and it may even be possible that Yanhu will regain his military disadvantage in a short period of time, which will greatly delay the process of the Northern Expedition to recover the Central Plains.

Using Yue Lengqiu to contain Dong Yuan, and even to ensure that in the case of Dong Yuan's sudden surrender to the enemy, Huaishui's defense line from Shouzhou to the west, through the northern foot of Tongbai Mountain, to Fangcheng Pass would not collapse immediately, so that Lin Jian could concentrate the main forces on the eastern front with more confidence, and the Northern Expedition would be much less restrained in the future.

Lin Tie wanted to give Yue Lengqiu, Tao Chun, Deng Yu, Yue Zhi and others more reassurance, of course, Yue Lengqiu and others also had to give Lin Tie and Huaidong people more reassurance - so during the banquet, the things that Lin Tie, Gao Zongting and others talked about with Tao Chun were much deeper and more detailed than what they discussed when Yuan returned to politics before the banquet, and it was decided that the Privy Council would send observer military attachés to the cities of Wuyang, Yucheng and Zhengyang to liaison, and the grain and straw transported through Haosi would also be transported into the defense area through the Vortex River by a fleet sent by Huaidong. Strengthen the connection between them in various ways.

Coming, Lin Jian said: "This hospital has a lot of experience in learning characters recently, and I want to give you a poem to encourage you and all the people of Wuyang...... "Ask someone to bring a pen and inkstone, and write down the fourteen words of "Crossing the catastrophe and brothers, meeting with a smile and enmity", and gave it to Tao Chun.

Tao Chun's heart was as strong as iron, but when he read this sentence and looked at Gao Zongting, Ao Canghai, Chen Dingbang and others who accompanied him during the banquet, he was also full of emotion for a while, and his eye sockets were a little wet - but he also knew in his heart that Lin Jian wrote these fourteen words, not so much as a feeling for the past, but a promise for the future.

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

Yuan Guizheng, Liu Tingzhou, and Tao Chun will remain in Fancheng for a while, Gao Zongting will also postpone his return to Jiangning for a few days, and Lin Jian will return to Jiangning by boat along the Han River on the 19th.

In addition to Song Fu and others, there were more than 10,000 elite infantry troops led by Zhao Hu and the second water battalion led by Ge Cunxiong, which will be reorganized into the main force of the Jingjiang naval army in the future.

At the same time, Song Jia set off for Xuzhou to meet Liu Miaozhen.

Lin Jian personally supervised the battle of Shangrao and Jingxiang, during which he was still in Yuzhang for two or three months, and did not return to Jiangning for a year, and during this year, only Song Jia was accompanied by Lin Jian among the women.

Lin Jian asked Song Jia to accompany him, and Song Jia also knew about the military, and his strategy was not under the three or five men.

The daughters of Jiangning can also understand this in their hearts, but no matter what, it is also Song Jia who has been favored by Lin Lian's side for a year, how can the daughters of Jiangning not be jealous at all?

Song Jia didn't accompany Lin Tie back to Jiangning, because she didn't want to go back to Jiangning to set fire to the hearts of the girls before Lin Tie extinguished the hearts of the girls.

Since there is no Song Jia to accompany him, Lin Jian is also like an arrow.

Leaving Ge Cunxin, Zhao Hu and others to lead the naval army and the main force of the forbidden camp to march slowly in formation, Lin Tie was accompanied by Cao Ziang, Song Fu, Zhou Pu and others, and called several warships and more than 1,000 guards by boat, and went first along the river.

On the way, he only stopped in Jiangxia for one night, and had a small gathering with Fu Qinghe, and other generals along the way saw it, and they all went to the designated place to board the boat and accompany him for a period of time before getting off the boat.

Jing Xiang made a victory, completely reversed the low morale of the Jianghuai army and people after the collapse of Yan Ji, and the Northern Expedition was also popular in Jiangning, and the Huaidong people naturally wanted to make a big noise for Lin Jiao's return to Beijing this time; Hu Wenmu's early entry into Jiangning was just to pave the way for this matter.

Under the progress of Hu Wenmu and other ministers, the soft grinding and hard bubbles were set, and the gift of "the suburbs of the Son of Heaven was welcomed" to show that the forest bound Jing Xiang and won the victory.

In order to "welcome the suburbs of the Son of Heaven" so that there are enough soldiers and horses to strengthen the momentum, Zhao Bao and other cavalry generals took the first step to lead the cavalry camp back to the east, gathered in the quarry, and planned to escort the overland division back to Jiangning in the quarry......
