Since the servant scattered and crossed the Huai, in just a few days, Lianke Yingkou, Anfeng, Huoqiu, and troops approached Lujiang, Hanshan, and Hezhou, and the edge was strong, and they went straight to the Yangtze River. Qianli Prefecture Yi, mixed in a district, fireworks look at each other, there is no cover, Hu dust rises suddenly, and the stars are scattered.

Among the officials and troops of the Southern Song Dynasty, although there were mediocre talents like He and Yao who only knew astrology and divination or cowardice before fighting, there were also Tian Lin, Li Zhongfang and other powerful generals who refused to resist the enemy thousands of miles away once they took the defense, the former cooperated with Xiao Qinhuai to seize Shouchun as early as June this year, and recently cooperated with Li Junqian for the second time to defend the Lujiang River, and immediately stopped the destruction of the Jin army led by Fu Sanhua; the latter was not only the first person in the martial arts during the Shaoxi period, but also strategized. Resourceful and decisive, although Lin Qian had only been familiar with him in Hanshan for a long time, he felt that the knife in his hand had suddenly changed from ordinary to hateful. In this way, he not only controlled the divine soldiers, but also repaired the intelligence network, and the advantage of the servants over him was gone, and the Song army finally slowly gained a firm foothold in Jiangbei.

However, the next battle of Hezhou, which was about to break out, was unprecedentedly important as the key point of the Jianghuai River and land, and the state controlled Zhaoguan on the left, the Yangtze River on the right, Tianmen to the south, Haochu ring in the north, Jiankang in the east, and Hanshan in the west, and the status was originally the top priority; not to mention the impact of the previous series of wars, the next battle was urgently needed and desired by both the Jin and Song dynasties wherever they were. Therefore, no matter whether Lin Qian or the servants are scattered, they are bound to do their best.

At such a critical juncture, whether it is the army or the people, it is impossible to completely look at Xiao Qinhuai, Lin Qian naturally has to visit the prefect of Jiankang Mansion and the envoy of the Yangtze River system, Ye Shi, who thought that he would wait for the war to ease down and go to the rear overnight, who would have thought that he would go to the front line with his illness, which was really unexpected by Lin Qian.

"Have you forgotten, Senior Brother Wen Xuan's anti-gold thoughts were all taught by this old man Ye's words and deeds. Yin'er said that she was not surprised.

"Don't call Uncle Ye, call Master Ye ......" Lin Qian hurriedly reminded her not to be familiar with herself, such as worshipping the teacher after meeting Cheng Lingxiao......

The two of them went to Ye Shibo's nephew together with Xie Feng, the top ten masters who had retreated to the second line due to injury, and all they saw along the way were wandering Huaimin who had no place to go.

"I only hate that the imperial court has always been dominated by peacemakers, and has neglected border defense construction for decades. Before the sudden decision to go on the Northern Expedition, the frontier was unguarded. Xie Feng sighed. Nine years ago, Yin'er gave this taciturn ten-boss the nickname "No Thanks", and now he can't help but be indignant when he sees these upheavals.

"Once the two Huai are invaded by the Jin army, there may be two or three hundred thousand families in Chuzhou, Xuyi, Anfeng, Luzhou and other counties alone, fleeing in a panic and crossing the river to survive. Lin Qian said that these people were the biggest reason why he wanted to see Ye Shi, and one of the biggest tasks of the Song army while resisting the Jin army was to ensure the lives of the people, however, the people should also have someone to shelter and pacify them on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Approaching the north bank of the Yangtze River step by step, Huaimin was crossing the river in a slightly orderly manner than usual, and Lin Qian and the others felt at ease when they saw this. Lin Qian thought in his heart, the meeting place was here, which showed that Ye Shi thought the same as him. The officers and soldiers of the righteous army are single-minded, and there is nothing that cannot be passed.

From a distance, I saw Ye Wenxuan standing tall and standing tall, standing out among the officials. In March this year, Lin Qian said goodbye to his Daoxiang Village, and then only made friends in the Heaven and Earth Formation, and has not seen him for more than seven months, during which Lin Qian traveled to most of the Jin Kingdom, and Ye Wenxuan also participated in the Kaixi Northern Expedition.

However, Ye Wenxuan witnessed the jealousy and hatred of the local officials and soldiers for the leader of the rebel army Nanlong in the Battle of Suzhou, and failed to stop the Guo warlords' stubbornness, ruined the fighters, and allowed them to betray the deputy general Tian Junmai who went to save their lives for self-preservation...... He almost lost confidence in the task of "gathering the official army and the righteous army", but fortunately he met Bi Zaiyu in Lingbi, and finally saw the light of day and regrouped.

Since that war, Ye Wenxuan and his wife have been running in Lianghuai, committed to the harmony of the high temple and the distance of the rivers and lakes. The results have been remarkable, and it has to be said that although the officers and soldiers in the Lianghuai region also ate and waited for death and the corpses were vegetarian, their attitude towards the rebels was always welcoming, enthusiastic, and even obeying orders, and the battles on the eastern front were not as treacherous as those on the western front and as strange as those on the central front from the beginning.

"Alliance King, Alliance Leader......" The tall Leng Piaoling is also as recognizable as Ye Wenxuan, she inadvertently turned around, and happened to see Lin Qianyin'er and his party of three, and immediately flew off the boat to meet them.

Ye Wenxuan turned his head with joy, although he didn't leave the old man beside him, his heart also flew over. The old man at the bow of the boat was still talking, Ye Wenxuan lowered his head and said a few words, and came down immediately with his permission, followed by a number of officials and generals, who looked obsessed with their little brothers, obviously admiring Lin Qian's name for a long time.

"Alas, it could have been relied on the battle of Chuzhou to become the faith of the people of Lianghuai, but who expected to go crazy and ruin his reputation, which is really a pity. The old man turned around and met Lin Qian from afar on the boat, just nodded to him gently, not arrogant, but with a harsh tone, it was Mr. Shuixin Ye Shi.

"Lord Ye. Lin Qian immediately saluted him, Yin'er was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "I know that people who fight against Zhu Xi will not have a good temper......"

"He's not wrong......" Lin Qian hurriedly pressed Yin'er's head, and Yin'er smiled heapedly, "Ye Lao......"

Lin Qian knew that what this old scholar said was not wrong at all, but as long as he had a little prestige in the hearts of the people of Lianghuai, even if the three generals were like this to him, the Huaimin would not flee across the river in a panic at this moment, and he could only let them, ensure, and accommodate them to escape.

"It is said that Bi Zaiyu and Zhao Chun have the same tactics as you, and would rather stick to Chuzhou, Xiangyang, and Hezhou, and implement the clear field of the wall, but they abandoned Qinghe, self-immolated Fancheng, and it was difficult to return for a while. As a result, our army is actually very far from the first line of defense. "Ye Shi seems to be dissatisfied with this kind of abandoned land to protect the soldiers?

Yin'er immediately didn't pretend, and responded directly, "Ye Lao, who is important between land and people?"

"Since ancient times, the country has not been abandoned, and there is no place to go, so the land is abandoned and the country is defended?" Ye Shi asked, all the time abandoned, all the time abandoned, abandoned until no time, where is the country? And at that time, where are the people, where are the guards.

Before Yin'er came to his senses, Lin Qian already understood what he was talking about, and replied softly, "Lord Ye, Chuzhou, Xiangyang, and Hezhou, since the walls are clear, they will fight to the death and not retreat, and the second line of defense is the limit of the two generals Bi and Zhao and Lin Qian." ”

"I hope you remember the order tonight. Ye Shi smiled at this time.

"Lord Ye......" Lin Qian knew that Ye Shi was testing his determination.

"I understand what you're doing these days, because you've gone mad, so you can only deliberately avoid the people, and evacuate them first in case of a big battle. Ye Shi continued to instruct, "But if you want to hold the second line of defense, it is far from enough for Li Junqian, Tian Lin, Li Zhongfang and others to fight with you, and expect me to take in refugees for you in Jiangnan." ”

"Ye Lao, how do you want to fight this battle?" asked Yin'er angrily.

"Establish a defense system of 'defending the river with the north of the river, and defending the army and the people together'. Ye Wenxuan's voice sounded behind her ears, and she couldn't help but be stunned, "What?" only to find that someone beside Ye Shi had already drawn up a big strategy?

"The people also did not retreat, and together with the army in Jiangbei, they rejected foreign enemies. Ye Shi also looked at Lin Qian and said.

Lin Qian's heart moved, "No." ”

"The people in front of them are panicking, how can they stay in Jiangbei and die?" Yin'er also shook her head at Ye Wenxuan, "This strategy sounds good, but it is unrealistic. ”

"Yes, today, although there is a village on the shore, a boat in the river, a number of antlers and dark trees, and a deep and wide ditch, which cannot be crossed, but the people's hearts have been shaken, and they can only rush to cross, and they can suddenly disturb and disturb the south of the Yangtze River. "Ye Shi also admitted that the most harm is caused by the shaking of people's hearts, if this problem is not solved, no matter how good other defensive measures are, it is useless, but to solve the problem of shaking people's hearts should not be to completely disassemble them and send them away - Lin Qian can only do the same to the four major gangs of Jianghuai, because the contradictions of the four major gangs are difficult to reconcile, but the people and the army are different, they have no clear boundaries, and the people's hearts can be completely saved, not demolished, but should be combined," Panic and anxiety, that is just the people I see now, their hearts have nothing to rely on, their hands are powerless, of course they are uneasy. If you have some confidence, you can rely on the mountains and rivers and protect yourself. ”

"Calm people's hearts, boost morale, recruit heroes, and inspire the people to protect themselves......" Lin Qian sighed, it is good for the military and the people to integrate with each other, the army does not have to free up their hands to protect them from crossing the river, but can get a steady stream of support from them, but since the last time he went mad in Chuzhou, he has become more and more afraid to go with Ye Wenxuan like this.

"It's just big words, people's hearts are so exciting. Yin'er put on a straight face, thinking, at this moment, Lin Qian can't just come to one enemy and ten thousand, not to mention, if you want the people to feel at ease, it is not a single hero who can cure the root cause, but also needs the people to participate in winning the battle and taste the sweetness...... Suddenly, my eyes lit up, "Huh......"

Just as he was about to say the strategy he had thought of, he found that others had already thought of it - a literati beside Ye Shi said, "Give full play to the strengths of the southern soldiers, cut down the camp and rob the village." Teachers can organize death squads, there should not be many people, but they must be fine and complete, including both official and righteous soldiers, as well as young people and civil warriors. If not, a reward will be rewarded. Once the Jin army approaches, the army and the people cooperate with the night attack, and the number of times is too much, it will inevitably be inspired, and the people will not just think about fleeing. ”

"In actual combat, the alliance king and alliance leader have some masters. The Warriors who participated in the night raid would not be too dangerous. Leng Piaoling added.

"It's a good strategy. Yin'er smiled, in this way, Lin Qian not only had no worries when he was about to fight, but also had an extremely solid backing, the Southern Song Dynasty had more money, and there should have been more people. Yin'er glanced at the literati who gave advice a few times, thinking that it should be Ye Shi's proud protégé.

Ye Shi, who attaches great importance to teaching and revitalizing learning, is the same peach and plum all over the world as Zhu Xi, this time resisting the Jin army, or giving him a defense on the Yangtze River, or helping him to support the camp and rob the village, and even more, it is Ye Wenxuan, who is a talented Wang Zuo, proposing that if he can stabilize the people, he can teach the people to operate "Tuntian", cultivate his old business and restore his usual peace, and keep his old house and forget his fears.

Yin'er nodded again and again, and Xie Feng also heard himself as a taciturn and unthankful person again.

Ye Wenxuan looked back at Lin Qian and was still pondering, and asked, "Shengnan, is there anything wrong with this 'guarding the river with the north of the river and guarding the soldiers and the people together'?"

"Something is wrong. The soldiers and the people defend together, they must first rob the camp and cut down the village, but this part of the people, before fleeing, will inevitably burn their homes, Jiangbei has no place to stop, I am afraid that it will not be able to achieve great success; if more people stay in the future, before they guide the tuntian, it is even more necessary to resettle them in the village. Lin Qian said and spoke, Ye Shi's face gradually changed, and when he heard the last few words, he invited Lin Qian into the cabin to listen and walk, but Yin'er and the others were blocked by the guards like Leng Piaoling, and there was an illusion that Lin Qian was abducted by Ye Shi and Ye Wenxuan, "This ......"

"I guess it came to Shibo's heart. Leng Piaoling laughed.

In the cabin, Ye Shi couldn't wait to spread out a map and move the lamp to show Lin Qian, the action was so fast and the spirit was full, what was like an old disease?

"My uncle and I had an idea to build a fort dock in Jiangbei. Ye Wenxuan said, "It's exactly what you call Jizhai." ”

Lin Qian nodded, looked at the map for a moment, and said, "Dingshan, Shiba, Guabu." ”

"Katsunan and I coincide. Dingshan, only three miles away from the river, can shield Jing'an; Shiba, close to Jiangjin, can shield quarrying; Guabu, shield Dongyang, Xiashu, protect Liyang in the west, and connect Yizhen in the east. The three forts responded to the emergency and liaison, and the end of the line could indeed form a defense line to defend the river. Ye Wenxuan said to Ye Shi with a smile, "Each fort can be defended as little as more than 100 or as many as 10,000 people, plus thousands of soldiers who dare to die, robbing villages, burning grain, and charging and fighting." ”

In this way, it can not only take in the people of Jiangbei, but also give the soldiers who cross the river a foothold, one is to make the defenders on the south bank move forward bravely, the second is to make the boat division in the river have the advantage of responding, the third is conducive to the sea ships entering the river and fight to the death, and the fourth is conducive to the battle of the armor soldiers in the boat. If the enemy sends troops to attack the forts, because the three forts are relatively close to the river, our troops will attack the enemy in the river with warships and sea ships, so that the enemy will be exposed to the enemy on the belly and back. Lin Qian nodded, but he knew that this idea was still far from reality, "However, the manpower, material and financial resources required to establish the fort are innumerable. ”

"That's not a worry. I will ask the imperial court to allocate money, distribute food, and provide military weapons; besides, if this campaign is carried out, the displaced people will be recruited more and work in lieu of relief, not only to build forts and docks, but also to gather the displaced people, killing two birds with one stone. Ye Shi stroked his beard and smiled.

"Another point, in order to prevent the Jin State from being confused, when the displaced people are settled, I hope that Lord Ye can investigate the household registration, name, and account books clearly, and be more cautious when reporting to the imperial court. "Lin Qian eats a trench and grows wise, and he can no longer teach Qingluan to fight wolves.

"What's wrong?" Ye Shi asked.

"There is Jin Guo's meticulous work at the top of the court, almost to the point of knowing everything and knowing everything, and I will catch him quickly. Lin Qian's face showed a hint of fierceness.

"I'll keep an eye out for you. Ye Shi nodded.

"About 30 years ago, he became an official in the Song Dynasty, and it is also possible that he replaced a certain official and changed his temperament greatly; the war in Xuyi and Badietan, one east and one west, he was able to regulate or pinch it. Lin Qian said.

"If it weren't for the lurking on the side of Lord Qiu, I'm afraid it would be Prime Minister Han's cronies. Ye Shi nodded, "Don't worry, if you have any clues, I will inform you as soon as possible." ”

Ye Shi was impressed with him since Lin Qian's answer that he did not retreat, no, and inappropriate, and felt that he was worthy of the respect of so many of his protégés, and when it came to the final fort location, financial resources, household registration, etc., he found that he was perceptive and thoughtful, no wonder Wen Xuan never forgot him, so he talked with the two of them at night, forgetting that he was sick, and his condition worsened the next day, but he still didn't listen to the military doctor's return to Jiankang to recuperate.

On the way back, he sighed to Yin'er again and again, "I thought he was a teacher, but I didn't expect him to be a warrior!"

"Alas. Yin'er sighed heavily, "If it would be good for him to guard Yingkou, he would have to meet with the state late." ”

"yes. Lin Qian looked at the other side, who was also waiting for Ye Wenxuan until late at night, and asked him with concern, "What's the experience of your husband and wife for most of the year?

Lin Qian could see that Ye Wenxuan had a large number of old and new supporters of the court in Huaixi, not only because of his humble and gentlemanly personality, but also because of his family background and the cultivation of conversation and conversation on it, and also because of his foresight as a think tank. However, Ye Wenxuan once disliked this place very much, "strayed into the dust net" and "loved Qiu Shan", in the eyes of the world, he deviated from the scriptures for Lin Qian, and went incognito for Leng Piaoling.

Leng Piaoling, not to mention, although after returning to Lin'an, she also found a distant relative like Leng Yixian, sacrificed her father and mother, and found her roots, but she was originally married in Qianxi and didn't ask about human affairs.

"It's worth it. The war outside the mountain is raging, and you can't be a hermit. Leng Piaoling said that she has grown up for most of the past six months, and is willing to see the darkness and ugliness and eliminate them, no longer as a king, but just as an ordinary Song Min.

"There are some things that you feel are not suitable for you to do, and you want to run away from them, but no one is better suited to do them than you, then you have to take care of them. Ye Wenxuan said that he also found his own position.



In the past few days, while the Jin army was still fighting with Xiao Qinhuai, the Song army stepped up the construction of forts and docks in the coastal areas, first in Shiba and Dingshan, and took root together with a group of fierce people recruited first and the official army and the righteous army.

Of course, the first step in setting up Tuntian, Anji displaced people, and soldiers and civilians defending together is to give heavy rewards, recruit more warriors, and rob the camps and cut down the camps of the Jin army that are about to invade.

"Yin'er will help Lord Ye share more of the defense, and leave the attack to me, Wen Xuan and Queen Leng. Within a few days, Lin Qian got a well-trained death squad of nearly 200 people from Ye Shi, and with his and Ye Wenxuan's subordinates, they quietly began to prepare for the "Night Attack on the Jin Army Pioneer Battalion".

That night, the spirit came to report, and the vanguard of the Jin army arrived on the riverbank, led by seven or eight strange people such as Longjing Lake and Sushi Liehuanduan. Tonight, the Song army is in the dark gold army and the army is in the light, and this night attack should not be more tricky than the head-to-head confrontation on the side of the Badian beach.
