Red House Shoufu

Chapter 213

Compared with Kaifeng's chill, the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing is full of joy and fascination.

The red lights of Huanghuafang and Linfu were hung high. When the moon was on the branches, Wang Qi and his wife led their three children to worship the moon god in the yard, offering moon cakes, and the family went back to the house for dinner.

Daiyu's expression was a little dazed, she looked at the mooncakes on the plate, and missed her elder brother Lin Shu who was far away in Henan.

"Yu'er, try this sugar-steamed crispy cheese. I made it after learning the recipe of Shishenzhai."

Wang Qi and his wife looked at each other quietly, and Wang Xiaoshi gave Daiyu the dishes on the plate, and said, "Try it, how does it taste?"

Daiyu shook her head, smiled sweetly at Wang Xiaoshi, and took a sip.Crispy and sweet, it suits her appetite.

"It's delicious, and my aunt's cooking skills are better than those of the royal chef."

Hearing Daiyu's praise, Wang Xiaoshi covered her mouth and smiled, and gave some more to her son and daughter.

The population of Lin Wang's family is small, and the dinner table is full of close people, so naturally they don't pay attention to eating and sleeping.Taking advantage of Wang Xiaoshi's culinary skills, they chatted and laughed and used up the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

When a few people were digesting food in the yard and admiring the moon, Wang Qi talked about the Henan incident.

"Today's victory in Beijing is the best news in recent times. Your brother won't have to worry about his age in the future after this battle."

There is a reason for Wang Qi to say that. Lin Shu won the sixth prize and made suggestions.After half a year of being an official, he was promoted to three ranks.

Many people in the court were dissatisfied with the emperor's promotion of Lin Shu, and some people even spread rumors that Lin Shu was a lucky person and was not worthy of inheriting the mantle of Lin Ruhai, the loyal and righteous prince.

Pink eye disease is one aspect, in fact, it is more because Lin Shu is too young. Just now, he has become a fifth-rank Hanlin scholar, and he has also served as the assistant minister of the Eastern Palace.

If it is a few more years, he will not be allowed to enter the six ministries or the cabinet, and if he is less than thirty, he will become the youngest cabinet elder in Dachu.

As soon as today's good news arrived, others were concerned about the victory of the officers and soldiers against the rebels, sweeping away the haze that had lingered on the court for many days.And a caring person like Wang Qi saw the great benefits brought to Lin Shu by this great victory.

Great Chu inherited the Ming system, but also changed it.Although there is no such thing as the culture and martial arts in the Song Dynasty, there are more or less invisible rules of using literature to control martial arts.

Lin Shu, a civil servant, defeated many with less, and wiped out the White Lotus Sect rebels on the north bank of the Yellow River in less than half a month. It can be said that the civil servants are the best at fighting.

Of course, he himself has the blessing of the aura of Liuyuan Wenkui of the Great Chu, and has some extremely high influence among the younger generation.Even if the imperial court just wanted to set up a signboard, it would reuse Lin Shu.

There are many civil servants who talk about military affairs on paper, but there are very few people who can really get on the horse to kill the enemy and get off the horse to govern.The appearance of Lin Shu can give civil servants more confidence when suppressing generals.

After all, so many people went to Henan, and when they fought against the traitors of the White Lotus Sect, most of them defended the city. It was rare for Lin Shu to take the initiative to attack and win a big victory.

In this way, Lin Shu became a benchmark among civil servants for suppressing military generals. In the future, when he "swears" with military generals, he can take it out and poke the lungs of military generals at any time.

As for someone who dares to make an issue of age, it is estimated that other people will spit on their faces: "Lin Liuyuan is capable of writing and martial arts, but you are too old to be confused, but you can only play tricks!"

Wang Qi briefly talked about the impact of today's good news on Lin Shu's future, and comforted Daiyu: "Don't worry, girl, your brother has a large army to protect him, even if he is fighting against bandits, he is only in command of the central army."

"Yes, Jinyu is surrounded by blessings, how can ordinary people get close. Now that the north bank of the Yellow River has been swept away, it is estimated that in a few days, the traitors in Henan will be completely pacified soon."

Wang Huan inquired a lot of news from the Imperial Academy, and summed it up: "After Bei'an was purged, as long as the surrounding officials and troops were integrated, the soldiers and horses in Kaifeng City were strengthened, and the internal and external attacks were carried out, it is estimated that the people of the White Lotus Sect would not last long. .”

At this time, Wang Yuan said to several people: "Actually, it doesn't take time to integrate the troops of nearby counties and counties. Now that the north bank has been cleared, Brother Lin only needs to cross the river quietly, take down the wharf north of Kaifeng City, and then contact the British public in the city. Flank attack, just open the passage leading to the city..."

……

After drinking and eating, Lin Shu washed his face with cold water.

He can't drink much, and it's wartime, so naturally he doesn't dare to drink too much.After dinner, he and the Zhang family brothers began to discuss the next battle.

"The lower official believes that the outside of the North City Gate is now controlled by our people. After the White Lotus Sect rebels fail to counterattack, they will definitely change their siege strategy. It is very likely that they will turn to the south of Kaifeng."

Lin Shu pointed to the map and said: "The Guide Mansion to the east of Kaifeng is close to Shandong and Nanzhili, and the imperial court has a large number of soldiers and horses stationed. Nanyang, Ruzhou, to the west is the place of the Fourth World War, and there is no danger to defend. Then they must force To attack Kaifeng City, one must go south to Runing and go to Huguang through the Runing Mansion. After all, the land of Huguang mountains and rivers is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Conquering Kaifeng, an important city in the Central Plains, can make the White Lotus Sect more powerful, thereby attracting more people to join the Sect and strengthening its own strength.

However, the siege for many days not only failed to achieve the original goal, but also lost troops and generals, which made the White Lotus Sect fall into a dilemma.

The White Lotus Sect is now in a difficult position to ride a tiger, so let's continue to fight. At most, we will lose both sides. If the soldiers supported by the imperial court come over, our entire army will be wiped out.Don't fight, making such a big noise and leaving in a desperate manner will do a lot of damage to the prestige of the White Lotus Sect.

Moreover, although the number of soldiers and horses in the city is not as large as that of the White Lotus Sect, the actual combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the White Lotus Sect.

Zhang Li was not very proficient in military affairs, so after hearing Lin Shu's opinion, he turned his attention to Zhang Yue.

"Jinyu is right. If the White Lotus Sect still has some brains, the last solution now is to attack the Runing Mansion. After taking food, grass and weapons, turn to the Huguang area."

Zhang Yue stroked his long beard and said, "Whether the White Lotus Sect has brains or not, we can't let them go south. Huguang is the second largest granary of Chu in the south of the Yangtze River. There are natural and man-made disasters in Henan this year, and they are still waiting for Huguang's food. We must not let them go south." The flames of war burn over there."

Snapped!
Zhang Yue slapped the map with a palm: "From tomorrow, we will organize a counterattack. Even if we delay, we will drag this group of rebellious officials and thieves to death in the territory of Kaifeng Mansion."

Lin Shu nodded in agreement, the British Duke Zhang Yue had the same opinion as him.The state capitals near the Yellow River in Henan have almost lost their harvest. Hundreds of thousands of people are waiting to be fed. The food in Huguang is very important, otherwise there will be losses.

He clasped his fists and said to the Zhang family brothers: "Grandpa, Mr. Ge, when the officials were in Daming Mansion, they sent many people to the south in advance. Now they are integrating troops in counties and counties near Kaifeng City. You can contact them and let them Gradually block the passage to the south of Kaifeng. It is not necessary to stop the main force of the White Lotus Sect, just delay it for a while."
