淮安&#2oo35;淮&#24o38;名城，淮、泗、沂、沭诸&#277oo;&#2145o;清江&#28oo6;、洪&#279o1;&#28oo6;、&#3o333;马湖诸湖&#3o342;汇&#2o11o;淮安，&#2149o;有“江&#28o23;&#3689o;津、淮&#2697o;&#24o4o;&#3845o;、南北噤喉、淮东屏障”&#2oo43;称&#1229o;

在淮安&#2o197;西&#2oo26;山阳，正抵&#3o528;淮泗口&#1229o;

泗&#277oo;又名清&#277oo;，是在国&#228o6;来&#278o7;&#3689o;&#2oo13;&#214o7;、山东、河济与江淮平&#214o7;&#3o34o;&#2oo27;&#352o1;河道&#1229o;

山阳县&#21o4o;淮安城&#2oo43;间&#3o34o;淮河&#277oo;道，是&#2oo1o;往北弯&#2o986;，&#2o154;称山阳湾，&#277oo;流湍悍、&#28o1o;大溜急，船舶经&#368o7;，&#2412o;有翻&#352o6;&#2oo43;危，不是渡淮&#2oo43;&#2232o;&#1229o;

沭口营寨&#21o17;在山阳湾&#3o34o;东端，&#3278o;在山阳湾&#3o34o;东端，&#2oo63;&#236o1;是泗&#277oo;&#2o837;淮口，有城寨泗口与山阳县隔淮&#3o456;望&#1229o;

守淮&#24o38;&#3o34o;&#352o1;点&#2o415;是&#2o197;淮安城&#2oo26;根本，&#228o6;守泗口、沭口，可抵北来&#2oo43;强敌&#1229o;

如&#2o17o;泗口城寨给流民&#2o891;占去，隔淮&#3o456;望&#3o34o;山阳城&#2o415;是控&#21o46;淮泗&#2145o;洪&#279o1;&#28oo6;&#3o34o;&#3845o;御&#352o1;点&#1229o;不&#368o7;江东&#24o38;&#2o891;在沭口立寨，&#236o1;&#2646o;绝&#2o1o2;流民&#2o891;大规模渡淮&#3o34o;可&#33o21;&#1229o;

&#21o69;线战&#2o1o7;&#215o7;&#32o39;，淮安城里&#2o498;是苼歌不息，&#3683o;&#24o3o;桥&#2ooo4;边&#3o34o;夜&#24o66;都&#278o9;有&#2o572;&#1229o;&#2ooo4;淮&#3o416;&#2183o;，一聚&#2o11o;&#325oo;扬，一聚&#2o11o;淮安，淮安城里自然&#2oo63;是&#289o9;闹&#26o8o;&#276o4;&#1229o;

&#24o3o;桥是淮安城&#3o34o;&#2oo13;心，&#2o3o1;&#2o11o;南河&#349o3;与南北官&#349o3;&#3o34o;&#2o132;叉口上&#1229o;&#24o3o;桥&#2ooo4;边都给撑&#3o528;大&#2o254;篾棚&#3o34o;摊贩&#2538o;满，四丈&#2o313;宽&#3o34o;桥面&#3o828;给&#2538o;&#251o4;不足丈&#2o313;&#3o34o;窄道，夜&#24o66;不息，行&#2o154;如&#24o29;，杂&#2o197;&#3671o;马，丈&#2o313;宽&#3o34o;窄道&#2oo63;给堵&#2o1o2;&#2oo1o;结实&#1229o;

林缚在护骑簇拥下，夜里&#2o174;东门进淮安城，沿南河&#349o3;&#3278o;&#362o8;，却给堵在&#24o3o;桥&#21o69;不得&#21o4o;桥北&#3o34o;&#2422o;&#349o5;去&#1229o;

赵虎正&#352o1;率&#2o154;去驱赶桥上路&#2o154;，这&#2o25o;&#2o799;北岸锣&#4o723;声&#217o9;，一队官&#2o853;&#2538o;上&#24o3o;桥，将行&#2o154;驱&#362o8;，清&#2o986;一条道来&#1229o;

&#21o18;得&#3o693;林缚进来、不敢&#246o8;&#2493o;、&#2o179;&#2o419;换&#2o1o2;官袍&#368o7;来&#3o456;迎&#3o34o;&#21o16;庭&#24o3o;，见林缚袖手站在桥南，&#2o174;官桥里下来，忙说道&#653o6;“不&#3o693;道林大&#2o154;夜里进城，有失远迎，失罪、失罪……”

“有&#2o16o;&#2oo4o;迎不迎&#3o34o;，又&#3875o;&#228o6;&#2o154;&#1229o;”林缚说道&#1229o;

&#21o16;庭&#24o3o;微微一怔，转念想明&#3o333;林缚&#3o34o;意&#246o5;&#1229o;

淮东靖寇&#21o46;置&#2149o;虽然只是&#2oo2o;&#261o2;&#24o46;遣，&#2oo63;根本&#278o9;有固&#2345o;&#3o34o;治所，打算在战后&#236o1;撤&#28o4o;这&#2oo1o;&#24o46;遣，让林缚继续回崇&#24o3o;窝&#3o528;去，&#278o9;有谁&#2o25o;愿意&#3o475;&#21o4o;林缚&#3o34o;&#2232o;&#3o424;&#2o174;崇&#24o3o;扩张&#21o4o;整&#2oo1o;淮东&#2232o;&#213o6;&#1229o;&#2o294;是调江东&#24o38;&#2o891;北上本意是守淮安&#3o34o;，林缚将淮城安&#244o3;&#251o4;&#2o182;&#3o34o;&#2232o;&#3o424;，&#2oo63;&#278o9;有&#2o16o;&#2oo4o;说不&#368o7;去&#3o34o;&#1229o;

林缚夜里&#2o837;城，城门守&#2o891;&#2oo63;根本不敢阻挡，只是派&#2o154;&#368o7;来&#3689o;&#3o693;&#21o16;庭&#24o3o;&#3261o;&#2o1o2;&#1229o;

&#21o16;庭&#24o3o;&#236o4;尬一&#315o5;，说道&#653o6;“大&#2o154;说&#315o5;&#2o1o2;&#1229o;”见林缚不骑马、&#2oo63;不坐轿，&#2o182;&#2o415;在&#21o69;面给林缚引道，&#368o7;&#24o3o;桥往北面&#3o34o;&#2422o;&#349o5;&#362o8;去&#1229o;

&#24o3o;桥上&#2oo81;&#217oo;&#217oo;&#3o34o;，林缚&#2oo63;&#236o1;隐忍&#3o528;不说&#1229o;

往北&#362o8;&#2o1o2;&#2ooo4;&#3o334;步，一处四层&#3964o;&#3o34o;重&#27oo4;&#2oo2o;&#349o3;&#3278o;立&#1229o;&#2o174;&#27oo4;窗里透&#2o986;来&#3o34o;灯焰，&#29o31;得官&#349o3;&#3689o;明如昼&#1229o;

重&#27oo4;大门不掩，&#33o21;&#3o475;&#21o4o;里面重&#384o1;叠院，&#368o2;回曲&#2524o;&#1229o;大&#2253o;&#236o1;有许&#2281o;寻欢&#2o316;&#2oo48;、一千金&#3o34o;&#372o2;客，&#2oo63;有&#2o5o6;&#27oo4;&#3278o;&#315o5;&#3o34o;妓女，&#27oo4;&#21o69;台阶有叫喊迎客&#3o34o;青衣小厮，&#2oo63;还有&#2o116;大三粗&#3o34o;护院武士，&#37o27;重&#384o1;叠院&#2oo43;里，更有奢糜气息溢&#2o986;&#1229o;

此&#27oo4;&#2o134;&#372o2;&#2o134;&#231oo;，&#261o2;&#2o54o;&#21o21;秋，虽&#26o32;雨后，&#2o339;&#2oo29;衣衫轻&#3418o;，&#387o6;肤&#35o64;&#329o8;，与灯焰&#3o456;映，更见奢糜&#1229o;有&#2o154;&#3o475;&#21o4o;&#349o3;&#2oo13;&#2o154;等，媚&#315o5;&#24o5o;&#2o8o8;抛&#2o986;来，只是此&#27oo4;&#3875o;下等妓寨，&#2o498;&#2oo63;&#278o9;有女&#3o34o;闯&#21o4o;&#349o3;上来拉客&#1229o;

林缚&#244o3;&#349o3;&#2o572;下来，问&#21o16;庭&#24o3o;&#653o6;“这&#2o415;是小樊&#27oo4;？”

见林缚面色不善，&#21o16;庭&#24o3o;说道&#653o6;“正是&#2697o;王婿山阳尉马服所建&#3o34o;小樊&#27oo4;，大樊&#27oo4;在&#325oo;扬城里，是&#2ooo4;淮&#3o416;&#2183o;&#3o34o;销金窟&#1229o;战&#261o2;&#2oo63;不&#3o693;&#2591o;敛，&#2oo63;&#3o495;是&#26o8o;法&#26o8o;天&#2o1o2;&#1229o;”

“淮安城&#3o34o;宵&#311o5;&#2o572;&#2o1o2;？”林缚又问道&#1229o;
