Chapter 397: Retreat as advance

After Lin Chunhong captured Li Dingguo, his army was stationed in Fangcheng and moved into rest.

More than 30,000 Jingzhou troops forced their way to Yuzhou from Fangcheng, and then divided into two groups. From Dengfeng and Gongxian, they advanced to capture Ainengqi in one battle. Russia led the army south to rescue Ruzhou, and then circled with Li Dingguo in Funiu Mountain, and finally captured Li Dingguo.

In just one month, the Jingzhou army won consecutive battles. Just as the troops from all walks of life were playing cards one by one, it was surprising that the Jingzhou army actually retracted back to Fangcheng without a sound and began to doze off.

In this regard, Lin Chunhong said to Lu Shiming and the generals: One thing is to relax and relax, the way of civil and military. Now the court, Henan local army, Qin Liangyu, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng have all tightened their strings, for fear that the Jingzhou army will step over the line and steal the cake at hand. Since this is the case, the Jingzhou army might as well take a step back and help them loosen their strings so as not to be so nervous.

When the Jingzhou Army fought desperately in Henan, they were one hundred dissatisfied. I want to see what Henan would become if we left Henan! At that time, they would be thinking about the goodness of the Jingzhou Army again.

As Lin Chunhong said, when the Jingzhou army retreated to Fangcheng, Li Shaoyi breathed a sigh of relief. Li Shaoyi took the credit for himself as his own and believed that his early resistance played a key role. Lin Chunhong was defeated in front of the upright Li Shaoyi and suddenly realized.

Xiong Wencan has always doubted whether his heart can still bear it when fighting with Lin Chunhong and Li Shaoyi a few more times. He adhered to the idea that it is better to have less than more things, and did not express any attitude towards Lin Chunhong's withdrawal from Henan. He only reminded Li Shaoyi: "If the Jingzhou army withdraws from Henan, it is probably difficult for Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai to control it."

Li Shaoyi didn't take it seriously and sneered: "Ai Nengqi, Li Dingguo was awarded the title of head, Sun Kewang lost half of the soldiers, how could Zhang Xianzhong have the ability to jump around? It's a matter of time before the destruction. As for Luo Rucai, let's deal with the Baigang soldier in front of him first..."

Li Shaoyi may not take it seriously, but Huang Degong, Liu Zeqing and other generals must not take it seriously. After all, they are the ones who are on the front line. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.

So, Liu Zeqing deployed all his troops along the Yellow River under the pretext of handling the Yellow River, and he was almost crossing the river northward.

Huang Degong found even more reasons. He was named as some of the bandits scattered into Ruzhou and harming the people everywhere. The Beijing camp wanted to attack the bandits and gain a stable rear. He retreated to Ruzhou City and joined forces with Qian Zuoxiu, but refused to leave the city even if he died.

Qian Zuozheng was still scared of the battle to defend Ruzhou, so he naturally offered Huang Degong a delicious food and drink, but was afraid that Huang Degong would leave Ruzhou.

Since then, in addition to the Baigang soldiers still fighting alone, the entire Henan has stopped, and Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai have greatly increased their room for maneuver, and the situation is becoming more and more beneficial to them.

When Qin Liangyu was in Yunyang, she received a secret order from the Ministry of War, which made her feel relieved. The charge of leaving the garrison without authorization disappeared. More importantly, the court was very insightful about Lin Chunhong's attempts and took some precautions, which made her feel much more relieved.

She couldn't help but slow down her journey, watching the customs and customs of Nanyang all the way, slowly heading north. When she passed Nanyang Prefecture City and reached Bowangpo, she suddenly learned that the Jingzhou army retreated south to Fangcheng to rest, Huang Degong retreated in Ruzhou, and Liu Zeqing retreated north...

She was shocked and cried: "My son is over!"

Qin Liangyu fought for most of her life, but she was not a civil servant or scholar like Xiong Wencan, Li Shaoyi, and she could see at a glance that Ma Xianglin's more than 7,000 white-rod soldiers were already in extreme danger. If she was not careful, she would be the ending of annihilation of the entire army.

Although Zhang Xianzhong lost Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo's two adopted sons, the main force of the elite still exceeded 50,000. Seeing that Ma Xianglin became an isolated army, there was no reason to let him go. Ma Xianglin had been entangled with Luo Rucai and could only deal with Luo Rucai. If Zhang Xianzhong was thrown into the battlefield again, the consequences could be imagined.

Qin Liangyu burst into cold sweat. After thinking for a while, he called Qin Yongcheng and ordered: "You should go to Xin'an immediately. After seeing Deputy General Ma, he should immediately ask him to retreat westward. Even if he retreats to Tongguan, he will do whatever he wants! You can set off immediately without further ado!"

Qin Yongcheng was a little embarrassed and said, "How can the last general issue an order to Deputy General Ma?"

Qin Liangyu suddenly realized, untied a short sword from his waist, handed it to Qin Yongcheng, and said, "This sword has been with me for many years, and everyone in Deputy General Ma will recognize it. Hold this short sword and order the entire army. If anyone violates the order, take it first and then report it!"

Qin Yongcheng was surprised. Qin Liangyu understood his meaning very well. Even if Ma Xianglin disobeyed the military order for retreat, Qin Yongcheng had the power to take action first and then report. Has the situation been corrupted to such a point?

Sure enough, Qin Liangyu sighed and ordered: "You should set off quickly, just do your best, and I don't know if it's too late!"

Qin Yongcheng stopped talking, hugged his fists, and left.

After Qin Yongcheng left, Qin Liangyu felt more and more confident. Ma Xianglin and Luo Rucai had been fighting for more than a month, and the army was in battle, so how could it be so easy to retreat?

What if Ma Xianglin fell into a desperate situation?

Qin Liangyu thought about it and thought that Lin Chunhong was the one who could save Ma Xianglin. Thinking of this, Qin Liangyu was even more troubled. It is said that there was no substantial conflict of interests between Shizhu Tusi and Jingzhou, and the two sides even complemented each other's advantages and cooperated happily. The only contradiction was that due to Zhang Fengyi's affairs, Ma Xianglin and Lin Chunhong regarded each other as enemies. A conflict broke out in Yuzhou some time ago, and Ma Xianglin even let the roads in the Lu family mountain area go to the mountains.

The root of the disaster was buried at that time. If Ma Xianglin had been stationed in Luonan, how could he have suffered today?

Nemesis on each other? Qin Liangyu shook his head and smiled bitterly. The so-called hatred is probably just Ma Xianglin hated Lin Chunhong. Lin Chunhong has three beautiful wives and concubines. How could he take Zhang Fengyi, who is so beautiful? Everything is probably the hatred imagined by Ma Xianglin.

Thinking of this, Qin Liangyu finally felt a little better and more confident in persuading Lin Chunhong to send troops to rescue him.

However, Lin Chunhong would not get up early without any profit. He made such a big fight just to take over Sichuan. If he couldn't get enough benefits from her this time, how could he agree to send troops casually?

Although Qin Liangyu had great military achievements and Zhu Youjian relied heavily on it, he was just a general after all. Apart from the stone pillar, how could he give the benefits of Sichuan to Lin Chunhong?

This matter has to be started with the court.
