Chapter Seventy-Eight: Support
After Lin Shidong came to Lu Xinghe's camp, Lu Xinghe met him for the first time.
"I heard that the country has Li Jiuyuan as the general and the governor of the coastal line, I don't know what his ability is? Goshi-sama came from Kyoto, so I think I know a lot"?
"Although not as good as the chief of the guard, he is also a rare genius." When he said this, he was not exaggerating, and in his opinion, this kind of praise was worthy of the name for Ba Niu.
"Oh, there are such young people"? Lu Xinghe had already seen Chu Han's outstanding military talent, and it was not an incredible thing for him to have another Li Jiuyuan. But Lin Shidong misunderstood, he thought he was suspicious. So he said what Ba Niu said at the imperial court and what he said to himself on the Akiyama Peninsula.
When he heard him say that he would give up half of the country, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and when he finished speaking, he slowly let go, and then said, "How do you see him doing business on the Akiyama Peninsula?"
Lin Shidong didn't expect him to ask this question, so he pondered for a while and said, "Although the sparrow is small, it has all five organs." So he introduced to him in detail the official rank system, military rank system, and business model of the Akiyama Peninsula, and said: "I live in a shallow way, so I can't fully understand it, but from the perspective of what I see and hear, it is different from the political structure of Kangle, Dongduo, and Mingshashan. The decentralization of power has also been done very well, and there are six ministries between the three princes and the nine qing, and the six ministries do not have a book, but only set up the principal, so that the situation of the three princes can be limited to the emergence of autocratic power, and avoid forming a party for personal gain, which should be more appropriate to describe it in a reasonable way."
"Reasonable, that's a good word. As long as everything is reasonable, it is fair. If it is fair, it will be able to achieve balance, and when it is balanced, there will be a situation of long-term peace and stability." He tapped his fingers on the table and muttered to himself. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Lin Shidong: "In this way, that Li Jiuyuan is a genius in the world"!
"If it is described as unworldly, it is obviously a bit excessive, but it is not an exaggeration to meet once in a century." Lin Shidong has always admired Ba Niu, which also makes his praise unstingy.
"It's not an exaggeration not to come out of the world", Lu Xinghe laughed: "It's a pity that he didn't come here, if he came here, he and Kang Le, a once-in-a-century genius, would be the opponent of chess, and let him guard the coast, which is a bit overkill."
Lin Shidong knew that Lu Xinghe rarely praised people, and there were not many people who could praise him, and when he praised two people today, it was really a little unexpected: "That Chu Han is really so good"?
"The troops will not move for half a year, and once the troops are dispatched, they will take all three towns in a month. After three months of repair, we will send troops to Dongduo, and hand over Mingsha Mountain to the people of Mingsha Mountain to manage, leaving not a single soldier, you say, who else can do it"?
"What a genius"! Lin Shidong couldn't help but admire. The two of them talked about the things in Kyoto for a while, and then went to bed.
The armies of both sides have been facing off for more than two months without progress. And the southern front has already been fought vigorously.
Xihaihou Zhao Donglou and Huaiyang Hou Kong Lianshun accepted Ba Niu's suggestion. They did not march with great fanfare, but quietly followed the route of Lu Xinghe back then, and attacked Sangancheng again. This time it was simpler than Lu Xinghe's, and after the guard saw Dongduo's banner, he abandoned the city and fled.
No one expected that the Dondorians would dare to take the initiative, and this unexpected surprise attack received unexpected results. When Zhao Donglou and Kong Lianshun took Longshi Fort, marched to Changtu, and pointed directly at Dadu, Kang Le felt the seriousness of the situation. Chu Yuxing immediately transferred Chu Han to the rescue. But Chu Han didn't go, but wrote him a letter explaining the current situation, he thought that the northern front was not enough to worry about, so Zhao Donglou and Kong Lianshun drove straight in, but he was not strong enough, he could attack but not defend, he could defend but not attack, if he attacked and defended, it was the way of self-death. He thought that Zhao and Kong's march into Changtu was just a bluff, and he intended to incite the old department of Yuanming Shashan to make trouble because of this, and he would never attack Changtu easily. With their current strength, holding Longshi Fort, and then dividing troops to attack and harass is the best policy, Zhao Donglou and Kong Lianshun will not be unaware. As for the people of Mingsha Mountain, he has already dealt with it properly, he has implemented a republic system in their capital, so that the six major families can govern together, they contain each other, hinder each other, and it is difficult to reach an agreement on major matters. There was no rebellion in Dead Leaf Town, and the scattered organizations elsewhere were insignificant. In addition, he persuaded Chu Yuxing not to change the current situation, and he believed that this siege strategy would be more beneficial to them.
Chu Yuxing was furious about this, and he wanted to transfer Chu Han back immediately, and Chu Feng would take over the front military. It was Chu Xiong who struggled to dissuade him before he was willing to stop. But the order was given, and the garrison on the northern front returned to help.
The Northern Route Army had 200,000 people, and after the general Yu Fengzhi received the edict, he immediately asked the partial general Yu Fengming to lead 50,000 horses to save Changtu. After Xihai Hou Zhao Donglou and Huaiyang Hou Kong Lianshun got the news, they immediately returned to the division, and at the same time transferred back to the Sanggan garrison, preparing to hold Longshi Fort. At the same time, he asked the imperial court for instructions on whether to withdraw or hold on, and suggested that Lu Xinghe march in the army, so as to reduce the pressure on his side.
When Mai Tiezhu received this news, he immediately sent it to the front line, so that Lu Xinghe could go with love.
"Why does Lord Goshi think so"? Lu Xinghe asked Lin Shidong, who was reading the letter.
"Your Majesty's intention is naturally to send troops to the head of the guard, otherwise the letter will not be sent to the front. However, with the current situation, it is difficult to guarantee victory in attack, and there is a possibility of losing the defensive advantage that was originally established.
"However, if the troops do not move, Xihaihou and Huaiyanghou can only withdraw to the territory, and the original places must be returned. Lu Xinghe seemed to have an idea, and he spoke extremely calmly.
"Then, you want to start a war with Chu Han"? He believes that Lu Xinghe will never fight with the enemy when he knows that he is invincible.
Lu Xinghe really shook his head, and said with a smile: "I will personally go to save Dragonstone Castle, and then, let the two geniuses meet."
In the first half, he understood, and in the second half, he was confused again: "You personally went to save Dragonstone Castle, who do you want to defend here?" This place is more important than Dragonstone Castle, and if it is lost, won't Kyoto be in danger?"
Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Lu Xinghe explained: "Naturally, an extremely important person is needed here to defend. What I mean is to let General Zuo Qu Weiran go to the coast to replace Li Jiuyuan, and let Li Jiuyuan come here, so that the two geniuses will not meet"?
Lin Shidong suddenly realized, unconsciously impressed by his military talent, such a method can only be imagined by top military geniuses. But he was still a little worried: "Although General Zuo Qu Weiran is also a famous general, it is still a question whether he can defend the coast."
Lu Xinghe nodded, agreeing with his point of view, but at this time, he had to take a risk: "I don't expect that the navy of the Kangle people will not attack so soon." Judging from the confrontation in the past few months, Chu Yuxing probably wants to let their northern front, which is now Xihaihou and Huaiyanghou, follow up after Chu Han breaks through our defensive line. They think the same way as we do, break through one line and follow up on the other two. I expected that he would inevitably transfer Chu Han and ask him to rescue Longshi Fort, but Chu Han did not move, so he transferred Yu Fengzhi and Yu Fengming. That Chu Yuxing knew very little about military affairs, and he refused to give up power, so he did not advance on three fronts, so that the fighters were delayed and delayed again and again."
Lin Shidong actually didn't know how much risk Lu Xinghe was taking. Once the judgment is wrong, the Kangle people will land from the coast, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
"However, I still need to wronged you for a few days." Lu Xinghe suddenly looked at Lin Shidong and said with a smile on his face.
"What does this have to do with me"? Lin Shidong really didn't understand why he was involved in himself. But then, he understood.
"The situation on the southern front is not optimistic, I must go to support immediately, but Li Jiuyuan will not arrive in half a month, and during this time, only you can be wronged to defend here."
Lin Shidong was so frightened that his face was like earth, he almost didn't stand firmly, and sat down on the ground. He straightened his mind and hurriedly said, "Chief Guard, this matter is no joke. Lin thinks that it is extremely difficult, but this important task, don't say that half a month, even a day, can't keep it"!
Lu Xinghe laughed, patted Lin Shidong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Young people should have confidence in themselves, what's so difficult about defending the city?" As long as you walk according to My moderations, nothing will go wrong. And I have arranged everything else, and there will be no mistakes!"
"Then, what if Chu Han comes to attack the city?"
"Then it's up to you, 30,000 people are in your hands, you have to fight and defend, it's not up to you to decide"? As he spoke, he burst out laughing again.
