Chapter 5 Sudden Change of Situation

With Lin Fengjin's talent to preside over the logistics work in the army at this time, it can be said that it is easy, and when the characteristics of these people under him are familiar, and then the respective division of responsibilities is planned, no matter how many affairs are piled up, Lin Fengjin is probably busy for half a day every day, and the rest of the time can be the shopkeeper. The people next to him probably inquired, and knew that Lin Fengjin was only temporarily staying here for a period of time at this time, and would not compete with them for any meritorious positions, so they were also very cooperative.

The heavy rain lasted for three days, not to mention that this baggage rear army stayed here at all and couldn't move the nest, even the local people cried out of suffering, and there was a flood, at this time, the rear area far away from the war became so bad, and the Zhongtang people who attacked the city of Yedu Jian probably didn't expect such a thing, right?

However, Lin Fengjin felt that he still couldn't take it lightly, because the people of the Tang Dynasty had accumulated rich experience when they fought with Nanzheng, which was a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and presumably the Zhongtang Dynasty was also very good at fighting in a humid environment and in rainy days.

However, the battle situation sometimes changes the situation, and on the fourth night, when Lin Fengjin was sleeping soundly in the camp tent, he suddenly heard the dull drum sound of "dong dong dong", and he immediately jumped up.

At this time, although Lin Fengjin was sitting here as a guest, he was also very curious about what was going on, so he quickly rushed over, and immediately saw that the Chinese military tent was already crowded with people, but it was neatly arranged, plus they were all silent, but their eyes were all on fire.

But think about it, those who serve as soldiers and eat food are all looking forward to fighting, so that they can fight for this glory and wealth with their own lives. It was stuffy in the muddy water of the chicken song station for a few days. Presumably, maggots have long been stuffed out of the bones, and now the drumming will be beaten all night, isn't it a big opportunity!

Liu Ou was waving his hands and said loudly:

"These gray grandsons probably smell something wrong and want to escape! What should we do? Let's strangle his back road! The handsome man has an order, let us go over to meet them in the rain overnight! Now go down immediately, and pee and eat, and take care of all the for Lao Tzu, travel lightly, bring only three days' rations, and gather outside the gate after half an hour to listen to the sound of drums!"

The generals of the group thundered in unison and replied with the word "good". At the same time, he turned around and walked out, and when he left the big tent, he was still cheering, and there was the sound of high-fives, and it seemed that the morale of the army was usable.

After Lin Fengjin heard this, his heart jumped suddenly! Immediately, a chill arose in his heart: It seems that the people of the Tang Dynasty are not really incompetent, it is estimated that this rain will know that the battle of Yedu cannot be fought in one fell swoop, and it will immediately retreat quickly!!

This withdrawal can be said to be a big surprise to Northern Qi.

At this time, Lin Fengjin had already quickly drawn the terrain west of the Northern Qi in his heart, and the two words immediately flashed in his heart! Jiaobei! That's right, the destination of the withdrawal of troops from the Tang Dynasty. It must be Jiaobei, an important town in the west!

This withdrawal is really just right, as if it was a tentative punch, and then quickly closed the punch after attracting the opponent's defense, just before the opponent's new strength was exhausted. When the old force was not born, what was the purpose of closing the punch? Naturally, it was to punch more violently!

As long as the Central Tang people gained a foothold in the important town of Jiaobei, then at least a quarter of the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty would fall into the hands of the Central Tang Dynasty, plus Xirong's wanton plundering in the northwest. Then after this battle, the vitality of the Northern Qi Dynasty will inevitably be greatly damaged, and the national strength will be lost by at least half.

Wait until Zhongtang and Xirong digest the benefits of eating into the belly. The national strength is bound to soar again, and if we continue to join forces to attack, Northern Qi will be in danger

Therefore, the next step is bound to be, the Northern Qi must not let the main force of the Central Tang Dynasty successfully withdraw to Jiaobei, then it will inevitably be a series of bloody battles, because this is not a battle that will determine the national fortunes of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and now Liu Ou and they are likely to delay the opponent's actions as much as possible when the main force of the Central Tang Dynasty attacks Yedu retreats!

The initiative of the previous war can be said to be held in the hands of Northern Qi, the other party rushed thousands of miles and was trapped under the fortified city, but now, as soon as the Zhongtang people withdrew so early, they immediately broke a series of response plans of Northern Qi, just like the two of them wrestling with each other, and the other party successfully dodged your full force, and the situation was inevitably very passive.

However, there is still a fleeting opportunity left in the Northern Qi Dynasty, that is, the Hurricane Army that was interspersed in advance, if the Hurricane Army can successfully delay the Zhongtang army on the way back to Jiaobei, and prevent them from successfully retreating to Jiaobei, then until the westward advance of the Qinwang army, the Zhongtang army will still die without a place to be buried!

Lin Fengjin quickly interspersed these questions in his mind, so that he didn't even hear Liu Ou call him a few times, thanks to the pro-soldiers next to him strode over to remind him, Lin Fengjin came back to his senses, and hurriedly said sorry to Liu Ou, but Liu Ou asked Lin Fengjin for this, where would he care about these details, and invited Lin Fengjin to sit down with a smile, and then introduced the current situation and situation to Lin Fengjin, Lin Fengjin knew that his analysis was not wrong at all, and at this time, it was estimated that all the soldiers above and below the Wind Army were going to rush to the road where the Tang army retreated to Jiaobei。

And Liu Ou's reaction at this time, Lin Fengjin was not very surprised, Liu Ou's fiery temper, how could he be willing to stay here to be a grain supervisor? At present, it is the time when the sea is crossing, and he wants to show his true heroic qualities, the national fortunes of the two countries of China, Tang and Northern Qi are maintained on the land of more than 390 miles from Yedu to Jiaobei!

If you can make a great contribution to the Tang Army in blocking the sluggish Tang Army, then there is no doubt that it is the first merit of this battle, and even the credit for capturing the flag is not comparable, how can Liu Ou's hot mind not be able to figure it out?

However, this person also knows the severity, and also knows that the responsibility of supervising the grain after this is heavy, he can go, but he can't make mistakes, once something goes wrong, it will at least be the heavy responsibility of losing his position, so Liu Ou's mind is not obvious? Lin Feng listened to him speak, and sure enough, he was going to stuff this matter into his own plan, and Liu Ou was going to take his rear army into battle.

It's just that. Liu Ou wanted to do this, but Lin Fengjin couldn't go his way, firstly, it was not right, Liu Ou was here, Lin Fengjin could use his staff to act in his name, but others were not here, those arrogant soldiers were not vegetarians, and they didn't recognize their relatives.

Secondly, this is the heavy responsibility of overseeing grain. It's also the category of military affairs, Lin Fengjin is also a white person at this time, and the private friendship between him and Lu Yu is good, but it is a big taboo in the court to directly take over the grain supervision of the Houjun in this way, to put it mildly, this grain supervisor has a high and powerful position, rich oil and water, and is at least a five-grade official. Lin Fengjin is even bold. I don't dare to collude with Liu Ou, and I will give the name of this court to each other privately, and once it is taken out as a handle, there is no room for refutation.

So Lin Fengjin didn't play sloppy with Liu Ou, a rough man. In the army, what is particular is a straightforward, very simple way:

"I can't answer what you say, I can't answer your request, and now you're here. I can say that I am a staff member hired by you, and if I am still here after you leave, it will be a great crime of public and private conferral! Lao Liu, you do not have the right to appoint a grain envoy. I don't dare to take it!"

Liu Ou laughed, but there was a hint of shrewdness in his eyes that he had never had before, and he simply took out an official document from the side and stuffed it into Lin Fengjin's hand, and then solemnly took a box from the table next to him.

Lin Fengjin looked at the official document, it should have been written by Liu Ou himself, and it clearly explained all the circumstances of Lin Fengjin's coming, and at the end of the official document, there were a few words:

"Yes, it can be paid for by transshipment. ”

The final inscription is a small bright red seal with the owner of the East Stable.

Of course, Lin Fengjin knew that when Lu Yu sent a private message to his henchman who was born in snake swallowing, the last payment was this "master of the east stable", and then Liu Ou pointed to the box and said:

"This is an expedited delivery just delivered. ”

Seeing Liu Ou open the box, Lin Fengjin took it and found that inside the box was a decree appointing himself as a temporary Dongsan Road transfer envoy, and the official seals and so on were complete, not only that, but there was also a jade talisman, a golden arrow, the jade talisman was engraved with the pattern of the divine beast and the pig, this jade talisman could be divided and combined, and the arrow had the words "If I am here".

For civil officials, these two things seem to be a symbol of authority like the "Shang Fang Sword", that is to say, after Lin Feng took over this "temporary East Third Road Transfer Envoy", although this is a temporary official position, and even the official product is not estimated, the power is so great that it is frightening to death, the jade talisman can suppress the civil ministers, and the golden arrow can control the armies.

Lin Fengjin picked it up and looked at it, and found that Lu Yu didn't say much inside, just a few words:

"The rise and fall of the country, in this battle, such a heavy responsibility, only Qing can make me worry-free. ”

Seeing Lu Yu's words, Lin Fengjin was silent all of a sudden, although this intention was very plain, but a heavy responsibility and trust pressed on Lin Fengjin's shoulders in an instant.

At this time, Lin Fengjin also understood, it was obvious that the withdrawal of the Zhongtang Dynasty had also disrupted Lu Yu's plan, and the previous arrangement of luring the enemy deep and cutting off his grain route was almost completely broken, and at this time, it was almost imperative to immediately pursue him.

Otherwise, once the Tang Dynasty people successfully retreated to the important town of Jiaobei, then the active and passive momentum was reversed all of a sudden, and the Northern Qi army was originally waiting for work at ease, relying on the geographical advantages of the city wall to calmly wait for the other party to attack, and the result was to become the reversal of the Tang Dynasty defending the city and the Northern Qi attacking the city, and the chances of winning were not great.

Therefore, this pursuit battle must be fought in a hectic situation! And it is obvious that the people of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably anticipate this scene first, and prepare first, while the Northern Qi Dynasty is as if they are being led by others to fight this battle, and they are very busy up and down, and in this hectic situation, it can be said that the busier they are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and the easier it is to be confused.

However, the rest of the chaos doesn't matter, Lu Yu's request for the rest of the troops is to pile up the troops and contain the opponent's actions, and the snake swallower under his leadership can do a good job of attacking, breaking through the enemy's defenses, and then beating the water dogs. However, in terms of grain logistics, there must be absolutely no chaos, especially in such weather, as long as there are two food cuts, then the combat effectiveness of the soldiers can be said to be inevitably reduced by more than half!

At this time in a hurry, Lu Yu couldn't wait to send Hubu Shangshu to the front line, but the old man of Hubu Shangshu went all the way from Yedu to support the command, but he was afraid that he would lose half of his old life before he reached halfway!

At this time, Lin Fengjin suddenly appeared, as if he had really solved a big problem for Lu Yu.

In terms of talent, Lu Yu is very clear about Lin Fengjin, and he is also at ease, and there are practical examples to support it. In terms of qualifications, although Lin Fengjin is not well-known among the rest of the armies, the top and bottom of the Snake Devouring Army still respect him - the biggest thorn is not a problem in front of Lin Fengjin, and the rest of the army is simple, so Lu Yu still took into account the problem that Lin Fengjin could not convince the public, and handed over the jade talisman and the golden order arrow together.

Of course, after Lu Bu was betrayed by Tian Wu at this time, his loyalty to the generals was also very important, and Lin Fengjin's whole family, including his wife, was in Yedu, and the "hostage" of such a scale was captured in Lu Yu's hands, plus the experience of sharing hardships several times before, so Lin Fengjin's trust can be said to be unprecedentedly large, and Lu Yu's hopes for him are also extraordinarily heavy.

After reading Lu Yu's will several times, Lin Fengjin took a deep breath and said:

"Okay, I'll take this transfer! Liu Ou, can you go? But before you leave, you must leave a thousand people for me, and you must have a fierce personality and dare to fight and kill!"

"What?" After Liu Ou listened to Lin Fengjin's words, he was also taken aback: "The transfer envoy of the East Third Road, this, this, I thought you were the transfer envoy of the Hurricane Army." ”

Lin Fengjin shook his head, and suddenly laughed and said:

"The Zhongtang people withdrew so quickly, our army will inevitably chase after the tail, but there must be no adequate preparation in terms of heavy grain and grass, if it is in peacetime, then it is easy to solve a little, but on the way to pursue, either it has been poisoned by the thieves of the Zhongtang Dynasty, and there is no way to organize an effective army support model, or it is trapped in this muddy place to be the transfer of your Tempest Army, what is the difficulty, do you need me to go out? It can be regarded as a bit of a challenge to be able to support the grain and grass logistics system of the Qinwang Army that was ordered to pursue when supporting your Tempest Army!"

Liu Ou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if he saw countless terrifying numbers dangling in front of him, and the sound of crackling abacus beads sounded in his ears, and he hurriedly shook his head:

"Then I'll go and prepare for the dispatch of troops first, by the way, Mr. Lin, you are taking over the baggage transfer, what do you want a thousand fighting men to do, I will transfer you two thousand auxiliary soldiers with thick shoulders and round waists!

Lin Fengjin shook his head and said lightly:

"In this situation, even if you send me 20,000 auxiliaries, it is not easy to do it! In troubled times, heavy canons are used, and in this situation, you can only use a knife to speak so as not to drag the king back!"

Lin Fengjin said lightly, but Liu Ou heard the cruel and bloody meaning, he suddenly came back to his senses, and gasped:

"Sir, you, who are you going to knife again?"

Lin Fengjin didn't speak, just raised his head quietly and looked at the overcast iron blue sky in the distance:

"This battle is related to the national fortune of our Great Qi, and there must be no mistakes! For this reason, even if we act excessively, there is no way, otherwise, there will be no Great Qi, where can we take care of so much?" (To be continued......
