"Jingshou! Envoy Liu is back!"

Xu Huai and Meng Jie, Xu Kang, Cheng Xiao, Han Qiwen and others discussed the evacuation of the people in Xingyuan Yatang, and Su Sun came in to report.

When Cheng Xiao heard that Liu Xian had come back alive, he stood up in surprise and was about to walk out of the yamen hall to greet him, but he saw Meng Jie, Xu Kang, Han Qiwen and others sitting there after several cases and were still motionless, and suddenly realized:

Twenty thousand soldiers were destroyed so easily. Can Liu Xian guarantee that Xiang Shang's head is bothered? Who would think that he was the governor of Jinghu North Road?

Of course, Xu Huai is not here. Before Xiangyang issued an edict to punish Liu Xian for losing his army, Meng Jie, Xu Kang, Han Qiwen and others had to pinch their noses to recognize Liu Xian as the governor. But Xu Huai is here, what kind of temper does Xu Huai have? How could he give Huaichuan's control and power back to Liu Xian?

Meng Jie and Xu Kang were just an official on Jinghu North Road with Liu Xian. Han Qiwen was the magistrate of Huaichuan and was previously affiliated with Jingxi North Road. They could not even be considered Liu Xian's subordinates, nor were they Liu Xian's private officials. They were just out of the laws of the court and were controlled by Liu Xian and dispatched.

Besides, the main force of Xuanwei Army destroyed Jiaobi. Not only did they not need to take responsibility for this, they also helped Xu Huaichuan to help him stay in Huaichuan. Now that he is full, he is still going with Liu Xian?

People have to be more realistic.

Cheng Xiao stopped and wished he could give birth to an invisible hand out of thin air and drag him back to the next few cases.

"Let's welcome Liu Jun in quickly!" Xu Huai walked on the desk and strided hard outside the yamen hall.

Seeing this scene, everyone stood up and followed Xu Huai out of the yamen hall. They saw that Liu Xian had already taken off his purple robe and put on the robe of ordinary soldiers. He also snatched the beautiful beard under his chin, muddy, and indescribable embarrassment.

""When Xu Huai and the generals walked out of the yamen hall to greet him, Liu Xian cried without tears, "I feel ashamed of Xu Hou and the generals and officials, and 20,000 soldiers called the young man to ruin the battlefield! Fortunately, Xu Hou helped each other in time, otherwise, I wouldn't know how destruction of this situation would make me. I'm confused!"

"Don't say that to the envoy Liu. The enemy's troops are strong and will make a comeback at any time. At this time, I still need to take charge of the overall situation!" Xu Huai said.

"What's the point of taking charge of the overall situation? The only thing I can do now is to go to Xiangyang to apologize!" Liu Xian bowed, "I can only hold the burden on Mr. Xu in this matter! I also ask Mr. Xu to prepare a small boat for me!"

Liu Xian insisted on rushing to Xiangyang to apologize. Xu Huai said: "The situation is so critical that Guangzhou is difficult to defend again, and the soldiers in Chushan are difficult to take care of their rights. I discussed with Meng Langjun and Xu Langjun. Not only did the people of Huaichuan need to cross the river south, but Huangchuan, but Guangshan also needed to evacuate to the south of Jiuli Pass. It may be difficult for me to write a statement with Meng Langjun and Xu Langjun. Since Liu went to Xiangyang to meet Your Majesty, I also asked Liu to report to Chen on his behalf!"

Xu Huai dragged Liu Xian into the yatang and sat down, telling him in detail the current bad situation and the enemy's possible offensives. He took Liu Xian's robe at the time and prepared a boat to send him across Henan and headed for Xiangyang.

In the afternoon, Shi Zhen, Tang Tiande, Jiang Xie and other officials rushed to Huaichuan. Xu Huai handed over many affairs to Shi Zhen to discuss with Meng Jie, Xu Kang, Han Qiwen and others, and he felt relieved.

When Liu Xian returned, he mainly fought at night in Huaichuan, attracting the main forces of the enemy on Jiaopi and Chaiji line to the south. Especially when the cavalry of Molihu were at Jiaopi at night, there were only more than 500 people on the Chaiji line. However, the soldiers of Zhong Changqing's troops retreated back to the camps after the night.

Moli and Zhong Changqing's troops withdrew from Huaichuan. In order to prevent the elite Chushan troops from chasing, the troops gathered together, which left a lot of room for the defeated soldiers to move south.

However, even so, at dusk, the defeated soldiers fled south to Huaichuan and the left and right Huai River coasts gathered together, and there were only 3,000 people; even though the other generals and soldiers were not killed or captured at this time, they were still hiding in the river and reed marshes, as the enemy soldiers adjusted their deployment and reeded their absolute superior forces to control the area north of Huaichuan, they would have no chance to escape.

In addition to reorganizing Huaichuan, there were defenders, Xu Huai also handed over the recruitment of the defeated soldiers to Chen Zixiao.

As a water and land, Huaichuan has many boats and ships. When Liu Xian led the main force of Xuanwei army to enter Huaichuan, he also requisitioned two local boat yards to build warships.

Therefore, although Huaichuan gathered a lot of people, it was arranged in an orderly manner and 80,000 people were transferred to the south bank in four days.

At this time, Zhu Han and his orders came to Huaichuan.

"Mr. Liu is really confused!" Zhu Han climbed to the top of the city, saw the ground in Huaichuan City, and saw the enemy's vanguards approaching outside Huaichuan City again, setting up camps more than ten miles north of Huaichuan City, so that Zhong Changqing's troops could advance south in an orderly manner. Unexpectedly, the troops in Chushan could leave Huaichuan to raid, and I felt cold.

The winter war on the Huai Shang Defense Line has just begun, and the troops in the eastern section have been completely lost. Who is willing to face such a situation?

"Liu Xian underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, causing the main force of Xuanwei Army to be destroyed in the first battle. Your Majesty was furious when he heard the news. Zhou and the high ministers were also willing to severely punish him, but Your Majesty still wanted to hear your opinions!" Zhu Qing said in a low voice.

Zhu Han came here, in addition to Xuanyi's remnants of Xuanwei's army south of Jiuli Pass into the Chushan camp, in addition to representing Emperor Jianji to ask Xu Huai about the subsequent defense of Huai, he also represented Emperor Jianji to come to ask Xu Huai for his opinions on the disposal of Liu Xian.

At present, Xiangyang has pleaded for Liu Xian, but more people advocate severe punishment, and some people even believe that they will not kill Liu Xian, and they will be sorry for the generals of Xuanwei's army who were ruined.

"Envoy Liu is guilty of underestimating the enemy and losing his army, but he is sincere in sharing his worries for His Majesty!" Xu Huai said softly.

"" Zhu Wen nodded and said, "I will bring you these words to Your Majesty."

"The current situation is too difficult. Underestimating the enemy will be better than defeating the enemy." Xu Huaiyouyou said.

Dayue still has half of the country, and the dynasties are everywhere. Over the years, Jianghuai, Jinghu and other places have been fully developed, with a large population and abundant supplies.

Underestimating the enemy's move will lead to the loss of troops and generals. The more you can afford it, the more you have suffered so many defeats. You are not afraid of this more often, but you are even more afraid of the spread of fear of the enemy's emotions.

From this perspective, the severe punishment of Liu Xian will not bring better results; the current situation is too bad and too complicated, so you need to be more anxious and endured.

Xu Huai advocated punishing Liu Xian, but it still had to be limited.

Of course, Xu Huai also suggested that what to do with Liu Xian in the end should be discussed with Emperor Jianji and the people in the court.

Zhu Wei nodded, expressing his understanding of what Xu Huai was worried about. After all, many of the things they experienced over the years are the same. He asked again: "Your Majesty is still worried about whether Huai Shang can withstand this winter. Now the enemy has gathered too many troops in Huai Shang!"

"The situation is very difficult, but there will be no problems in this winter on Huaihang," said Xu Huai. "Huangchuan, Guangshan and even Luoshan can be abandoned. Even if the enemy crosses the river south, the ice period of the Huaihe River is difficult. As long as you guard Jiuli Pass, Pingjing, and Wusheng Pass are in the back of Xinyang, the enemy hastily crossed the river, at least you will worry about being attacked by our Chushan army on the flank. As for Qingyi Ridge, Shimen Ridge, and Chushan line, after two years of operation, I still wish Yuehai Tower opened my mouth to chew it!"

The Huai River was very short, which made the enemy soldiers dare not transfer their troops to attack Jiuli Pass or Xinyang City before they were trapped in the Chushan New City and Qingyiling front-line defenders. If they were blocked before Jiuli Pass and Xinyang City, the Huai River would thaw in advance due to abnormal weather conditions, they would not be able to ensure the safety of the rear of this army.

This also determines the Huai Shang war, and the focus is still on the western or middle section.

Now the western section is divided into two parts: north and south. Wuyang is stationed by Liu Yan, Fangcheng, and on the front line of Biyang, Deng Gui leads the Right Xuanwu Army to prevent trouble.

Emperor Jianji and the people in Xiangyang were still worried that Chu Shan would not be able to withstand the pressure, so they sent Zhu Han to come over and ask Xu Huai about his detailed defense plan.

Otherwise, how could Xiangyang feel at ease?

Zhu Han then talked about Xiangyang’s many arrangements for Jinghu North Road.

The defeated soldiers of Xuanwei's army once again proved the combat effectiveness of the ban-armed troops under the jurisdiction of Jinghu, Jianghuai and Jinghu and even Chuanxia. Whether from generals or to the lower-level soldiers, they were very worried. At least they could not be placed in one direction alone to be responsible for independent combat.

In the general direction, everyone in Xiangyang advocated transferring troops from the inside to the front line to participate in the war, but the main general of the front line would have the command and control power.

It takes a certain amount of time to complete this matter and communicate with the supervisors of the various routes. However, there has been such a big problem on Jinghu North Road, so we must first take the Jingbei Supervisor to take the first action.

The remaining soldiers south of Jiuli Pass will be incorporated by Chushan, and Xiangyang hopes that Chushan will be expanded to one or two elite troops.

Because Xuanwei's army was defeated too badly, Xiangyang was worried that something would go wrong with Chushan. Zhou He, Gao Chunnian and others all felt relieved. Even if the Tianxiong army only added one to two new troops, the money and food allocated to Chushan could increase to one million stakes.

Of course, these money and grains are subject to confiscation in Jingbei. After all, Jinghu North Road will no longer need to undertake military combat tasks alone, and there is no need to intercept so much money and grains.

The Xuanwei Army will be sanctioned and removed, and the troops who remained in Jingbei Province will be organized into the state’s jurisdiction, forming a system of the governing system of the Ministry of Deployment (Road)-Dujian Office (State). Then, the troops of the state will be transferred in turn to accept the control of Chushan (Xu Huai) or Wuyang (Liu Yan) and participate in the defense of the Huaihang Defense Line.

On the other hand, it is also to strengthen the control of the Privy Council over local soldiers and horses; after all, the formal dispatching power of these soldiers and horses has been directly controlled by the Privy Council.

This is actually a very change.

In the past, Dayue was the governor of the prefecture and the commander of the military commander of the Mama, which actually made the Zhongshu Menxia Province have a greater impact on local prefecture soldiers. The Privy Council usually only has the power to dispatch and command the imperial guards.

For this reason, after Liu Xian, Jingbei would no longer appoint a new strategic pacifier, but directly appointed troops to deploy and receive vertical jurisdiction from the Privy Council.
