The cavalry were on alert in the wind and snow, and the thatched roof of the simple work shed creaked in the strong wind. The thatch was constantly blown up and drifted into the distance in the boundless wind and snow.
The square of white silk cloth fell on the snow, and the words "no food" written in blood were particularly dazzling!
Gao Zongting traveled all the way south and suffered a lot. His thighs were bruised and bruised by horseback riding. He didn't get medicine until Shanyang and came over in a carriage. At this time, his beard and hair were messy, his clothes were ragged, his appearance was not much better than that of a beggar, and his physical strength was not much better than that of a beggar.
It was even more overdrafted. If Cao Zi'ang hadn't used old ginseng to give him medicine in Shanyang, it's unclear whether he could have lasted until Yanqing.
There had been rumors in the capital that Li Zhuo had nefarious intentions, which had recently collapsed due to the victory of Songshan. However, if the news that Gao Zongting secretly came to Huaidong at this time was leaked, Li Zhuo would not be able to clear up the suspicion of nefarious intentions with a hundred words.
Lin Fu didn't pick up the blood book on the ground, or even look at Gao Zongting's haggard eyes, which pinned his hopes on Huaidong. He put his hands behind his hands and looked at the heavy snow outside the work shed - his vision was blocked by the wind and snow, and he couldn't see out.
Thirty to fifty steps away, even the cavalry on the periphery had only a vague influence swaying.
Cao Ziang stopped talking, gave up, and stood aside without saying a word.
Song Jia looked at the blood book on the ground, and then at Lin Fu's slightly thin back.
How to cut off food?
The Tianjin-Sea Grain Road maintains the lifeblood of the Gyeonggi Province. Even if it is interrupted due to an "accident", the grain reserves in the Gyeonggi Province and the grain and grass controlled by the Jizhen Military Command Division located in Changli and controlled by Hao Zongcheng can still sustain it for one or two months.
The vast majority of people inside and outside the government believe that it is within easy reach to solve the border troubles in the Liao region once and for all. If it were just due to accidents such as "shipwrecks", "grain dealers' riots" or "Korean attacks" and other unexpected events, the loss of food routes to China Aviation would be
While the imperial court asked the Huaidong Military Division and the Dengzhou Navy to work together to restore the smooth flow of grain routes, it would probably be even more impatient to urge Li Zhuo to use troops from Songshan against Liaoyang.
Even if Huaidong puts forward various threats, it will not work.
Not to mention the Jiangning side, the Yanjing side will probably hold their noses and accept any conditions proposed by Huaidong: that is, the price of grain will increase by 30% or 50%, and the extra grain and silver in a month will only be more than ten or twenty.
Ten thousand liang. The household department cannot survive for a year or two, but it can still survive for one or two months.
Even if Lin Fu threatens to use the Jinhai grain road to become the king, the imperial court may agree first - but the imperial court will put all its hopes on the battle in western Liaoning, hoping that after the border troubles in Liao are completely resolved,
Free up your hands to deal with the powerful eunuchs and warlords like Huaidong.
In addition to Huaidong simply cutting off the grain road, it clearly threatened the imperial court to give up its military adventure in western Liaoning.
By doing this, Huaidong may be able to save the Jibei Army from the brink of destruction, and may be able to prevent the Yanbei defense line from collapsing in an instant, but what consequences will Huaidong bear?
He is a national thief who is criticized by thousands of people!
After the breakup, the Tianjin-Hai grain route could not be maintained, and after Li Zhuo withdrew his troops, the first thing the court would do after this winter was probably to move the capital to Jiangning.
Huaidong General was the first warlord force that the Yuan clan wanted to eradicate after the imperial capital moved south.
If Lin Fu wants to save his life, he can only lead everyone to withdraw from Huaidong and retreat to Haidong - ah, Haidong!
A thought flashed through Song Jia's mind: Is Haidong the escape route Lin Fu left for him?
No wonder Li Zhuo actually thought that Lin Fu would cooperate with him in his plan to drain the firepower. There were not many people in the world who could see through Lin Fu's plan.
What choice would Lin Fu make? Would he give up the Huaidong foundation that had finally been built to such a scale for the sake of the Yuan family and the people of the world?
What would Fu Qinghe, Lin Mengde, Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang and others think of this matter? Will they agree with any decision made by Lin Fu?
I don't know how long it took, but Lin Fu slowly turned around, looked at Gao Zongting, and asked: "Mr. Gao, tell me: If I withdraw from Huaidong, will the Yuan family have a chance to restore the rule of Zhongxing?"
The two-character blood letter "Food Break" contains too much information, but for Lin Fu, Gao Zongting, Cao Ziang and others, there is no need to use too many words to explain anything.
Song Jia knew that Lin Fu would not sacrifice anything for the decadent Yuan clan. The Yuan clan could restore the rule of Zhongxing, and the people of the world would not suffer from the chaos and make a living for the world. Lin Fu was willing to cut off food first before withdrawing from Huaidong - Li
Is Zhuo confident that he can help the Yuan family restore the rule of Zhongxing?
Gao Zongting pursed his lips and rubbed his cotton robe with exposed hem. Lin Fu's eyes were sharp and deep, and the question was pressing directly on him, like a huge weight. It was difficult for him to answer, and he vomited several words in his throat.
A meaningless syllable, but finally unable to say a word.
"Please, Mr. Gao, please bring three words to Li Shuai!" Lin Fu sat cross-legged, picked up the white silk cloth and spread it on his knees, pulled out the short knife from his waist, cut the middle finger of his right hand, and wrote three words in blood: "
Qingjun side"!
Compared with the two words "cut off food", the three bloody words "Qingjun side" are more shocking!
"Qingjun's side!" Gao Zongting did not accept the blood letter handed back by Lin Fu. Looking at the three words written in blood on the white silk cloth, his face showed not surprise, but a bitter smile.
Song Jia secretly calculated in his heart: Lin Fu immediately gave up the southern offensive, gathered elite troops from Huaidong and went north to join forces with the Tianjin Navy. He could get 20,000 elite infantry and 3,000 elite cavalry.
Although the Yanjing camp has **00,000 soldiers and horses garrisoned around it, as long as Li Zhuo is willing to cooperate, in the name of attacking Liaoyang, he will mobilize some of the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp to strengthen the defense of Datong and Linyu. Lin Fu will lead the elite troops.
The possibility of landing from Tianjin Sea and successfully entering the "Qingjun side" of Yanjing is not low.
Li Zhuozai quickly imprisoned Hao Zongcheng and others, and took control of the Jibei Army-Huaidong. He quickly organized the labor camp into an army, and the number of soldiers and horses could be quickly expanded to 70,000 to 80,000, completely controlling the situation in Huaidong, including Weiyang Mansion; Gu Wuchen controlled
Jiangning Shuiying and Lin Tingli control the Dongyang Army; Dong Yuan and Chen Zhihu are all Li Zhuo's old troops. Even if they don't make an immediate choice, they will probably choose to wait and see - Yue Lengqiu and Zhang Xitong have not established a new emperor in Jiangning.
possible.
The next step is to compromise with Liang Xi and Cao Yiqu...
Of course, this is just an ideal situation. The building may collapse suddenly, but the consequences will not be more serious than "food shortage".
Song Jia sighed inwardly when she saw Gao Zongting not accepting the blood letter.
Cao Ziang could see clearly from the side. Gao Zongting's expression undoubtedly showed that he had proposed this strategy to Li Zhuo. He thought to himself: If Li Zhuo could be ruthless enough to use this strategy, he would not be Li Zhuo! He said: "The situation in the North may not be unsolvable.
.As early as two months, but as late as March, the spring will warm and the ice will melt in Liaodong Bay..."
"I hope so!" Gao Zongting said something. Cao Ziang said this just as a word of relief. He bowed to Lin Fu again and said, "I would also like to trouble Huaidong to prepare a ship to send me to Jinhai...
..." He wanted to go ashore from Tianjin Sea and then go to Liaoxi to join Li Zhuo.
Lin Fu hesitated to speak. He hoped that Gao Zongting could stay in Huai'an, but seeing that Gao Zongting was determined, he would not be able to speak. He waved his hand dejectedly and said to Cao Zi'ang: "Zi'ang, you can make arrangements!"
Cao Ziang helped Gao Zongting onto the carriage, bowed to Lin Fu, got on his horse, and led dozens of mounted guards, walking back and forth, and soon disappeared into the wind and snow - the situation in Huaisi was also tense, and Cao Ziang did not dare
I've been away from Shanyang for too long.
Lin Fu was not in the mood to see Zhao Qinmin who had just gone to Yanqing. He climbed onto the carriage, called Zhou Pu to his side, and said, "After tonight, we will go to Yanqing tomorrow..." After getting into the carriage, he was exhausted and tired.
Feeling of exhaustion!
Lin Fu didn't say where he would spend the night, as long as he didn't go to Yanqing to see Zhao Qinmin this year. As it got dark, Zhou Pu led his cavalry westward and camped in Jianling County. He also sent someone to Yanqing to inform Sun Jingtang.
Let him find a way to hide Zhao Qinmin; Song Jia also got into the carriage to take shelter from the wind and snow.
Heading westward in the wind and snow, the cavalry moved very slowly.
Lin Fu fell into a deep sleep in the carriage. When he woke up, he had not arrived at Jianling City yet. The sky was completely dark, and the wind and snow howled outside the carriage window. His sleep did not restore his strength, but he became increasingly exhausted.
I have a chill, but my forehead is very hot. Maybe I am sick.
Lin Fu's illness caused Song Jia, Zhou Pu and others to panic.
Lin Fu is a martial arts practitioner, and his muscles and bones are tortured, so he won't get sick easily. If he does get sick, it will be more troublesome than ordinary people.
Zhou Pu wanted to send someone to Chongzhou to ask for a medical officer, but Lin Fu did not agree. He only said that he was not that delicate and would just go to Jianling to rest for a night. However, his body still shivered uncontrollably.
Song Jia recalled what Lin Fu said when he was guarding Tang Haoxin's tomb. The person who had the most profound influence on Lin Fu in this world, besides Tang Haoxin, was probably Li Zhuo, whom he had only a close relationship with. If Li Zhuo hadn't reached the end of his rope,
How could Gao Zongting come to see Lin Fu with a blood letter?
In order to plan for Huaidong, Lin Fu refused to cooperate with Li Zhuoxing's plan of "cutting off food and drawing off salary". Lin Fu's heart was hit harder than outsiders imagined.
If we talk about a hero, Lin Fu may not be qualified to be called a hero. His heart is not dark enough, his methods are not vicious enough, and he has too many worries in his heart - maybe after this test, Lin Fu will not have so many worries and worries in his heart? Maybe this
This is where Lin Fu is better than others.
There may be no shortage of ruthless heroes in the world.
Song Jia held Lin Fu, who was shivering, in her arms, trying to make him feel warmer with her body temperature that had a faint fragrance.
Lin Fu was sick and felt uncomfortable, and his head was dizzy, but his brain was not burned out. He lay in Song Jia's arms and sang softly: "I read the sword when I was drunk, and I dreamed of blowing the trumpet company. Eight hundred miles away."
Moxibustion under his command, the sound of fifty-stringed strings turning outside the Great Wall. Autumn troops on the battlefield. The horse is flying fast, and the bow is like a thunderbolt. The strings are frightened. The king's affairs in the world have been solved, and he has gained fame before and after his life. This pity happened in vain!"
Song Jia didn't know that Lin Fu was reciting someone else's words. Listening to him singing softly, although the words were full of heroic spirit, she thought he was talking about Li Zhuo, right? Only what Li Zhuo was thinking about was "the affairs of the king and the world"
, think about the ending of Li Zhuo's devoted and dedicated loyalty to Yuanshi.
