Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 134 The general trend
Chen Yuyi held a pen and looked at all kinds of people in front of him.Listen to them chatting about where they are from and how they escaped here.How hard it was along the way, what did I see.Talking all over the place, messy.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Chen Yuyi asked everyone to disperse.Sort out the news you heard today and hand it over to the officials.Wrapped tightly in the jacket, I went home facing the cold wind.These days, Wang Xiaolie asked Chen Yuyi to gather the people who fled to Xiangyang and collect their information.At this time, the residence newspaper has long been blocked, and they don't know what's going on around them at all, so let's not talk about major events in the world.

When Wang Xiaolie did this, Chen Yuyi understood.Leading troops to fight, how can we do without news?It's also appropriate to let yourself do it.This matter has little to do with Wang Xiaohun's army, and he is a scholar.

When I arrived at the door of the house, I saw my wife leaning against the door, looking around from time to time.Seeing Chen Yuyi coming back, he rushed to meet him.

Chen Yuyi was surprised.Asked: "What's special today? Why are you waiting here?"

The wife said: "Officials, a few people came to the yamen today, saying that they were handing out things for the New Year. I haven't heard you say that they handed out meat, fish, and a jar of wine. It's been so many days. How can you rest assured about the things that come to your mouth? I am anxious, waiting here for your return."

After hearing his wife's words, Chen Yuyi hurried in to watch the things posted today.

There was a jug of wine on the ground, a few catties of meat tied with straw, two big carps, a live chicken, and a bag of rice.There are several bottles and cans next to it. I only found out after asking, and they said that there were vinegar, sauce, oil, etc.

After counting them carefully, Chen Yuyi was a little confused.I haven't seen Wang Xiaolie in the past few days, and I haven't heard of any distribution.Suddenly someone sent it to my home, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yuyi said: "Since it has been delivered to the home, why bother thinking about it so much? You clean up, there is wine and meat today, let's have a good meal! These days, there is no meat in your mouth, Da Lang Erlang called every day."

The wife turned her head to look at the two sons who were watching eagerly not far away, and hurriedly agreed.On the way to escape, the children really suffered.

Early the next morning, some officials came and asked Chen Yuyi to go to the government office to discuss matters.

Walking on the street, Chen Yuyi felt that today was very different.The entire city of Xiangyang was filled with lively atmosphere.The flow of people seems to be much more than usual, and people have smiles on their faces.

After entering the government office, I saw many more people and tied many horses.There are many people who come and go, people I don't know.

When they arrived at Wang Xiaolie's official hall, Chen Yuyi stepped forward to salute.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Today is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. Look, it's about to celebrate the New Year. Most of the generals in the army have arrived in Xiangyang to discuss matters together and celebrate the lively New Year together. By the way, I sent out New Year's gifts yesterday. No?"

Chen Yuyi cupped his hands: "Thank you for your observation. Received."

Wang Xiaolie smiled and said: "Are you still satisfied? Everything is difficult this year, so let's make up for it."

Chen Yuyi hurriedly said: "Satisfied, of course satisfied! Since Chenliu went south, it has been so many days without wine or meat in my mouth. Of course I am satisfied."

Wang Xiaolie was a little strange.Asked: "You are working in the army. I heard that you have paid a month's salary in advance, but you still can't afford meat?"

Chen Yuyi said: "There are four members of my family, and there were debts a few days ago, and it is enough to have enough food. After paying off the debts, life will get better."

Wang Xiaolie nodded and remained silent for a while without saying anything.After a while, he said: "Get ready. The information collected these days is summed up, and I will tell the generals who come here later. Everyone is stationed in different places and is not familiar with the affairs of the world."

Chen Yuyi clapped his hands and said yes, and left the meeting hall.

Just now I heard that Chen Yuyi still owed the debt, but Wang Xiaolie actually wanted to ask the army to pay it back for him.But after thinking about it, I'm afraid there are still people like him in the army. If he is returned, others will not be returned?Although it occupies a few states, in fact, Wang Xiao is not rich now, so forget it.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Xiaolie remembered that his previous life was a small year.Whether there is such a custom in this era, whether Xiangyang's Xiaonian is today, Wang Xiaolie is not sure.I didn't bother to ask, so I decided to come to discuss the matter today.Chen Yuyi is a petty official, so he doesn't know about it.

As the sun rose high, the generals, Chen Yuyi and others were called into the meeting hall and took their seats.It's just that today's meeting hall is different from the past.In the past, the chief officer Wang Xiaolie sat in the middle, and there were people with seats on both sides.In front of each person, there is a desk and a couch.Then there are people without seats.Today it was all replaced by a table with chairs behind the table.Everyone has a seat, not as serious as the old days.

Cao Zhiyan sat down and said to Xie Linong who was beside him: "Looking at what it looks like here, it must be Zhizhou's idea to not use the old desk. In the past, Zhizhou said many times that sitting on the desk is not comfortable to use the desk. It’s better to change it to this.”

Xie Linong said: "This must be the case. Now there are four prefectures, Ru, Tang, Deng, and Xiang, which are not comparable to Ruzhou. Seeing this, Zhizhou has great ambitions, and it will be different from then on."

The people below were giggling and talking about today's changes.

Wang Xiaolie stood behind the table, watching everyone sitting.He raised his hands and said: "Today's discussion, everyone, be serious, don't laugh!"

Seeing that Wang Xiaolie was serious, everyone shut up and looked up seriously.

Wang Xiao said: "Since Yang Jin rebelled and attacked Luoyang from Zhengzhou, he was defeated by us and passed Lushan Pass. He fled all the way south and was not wiped out until he was on the bank of the Han River. In recent years, Yang Jin can be said to be the leader of Beijing. The number one thief on the West Road! Was killed by Shao Ling and Niu Gao by the Han River, congratulations!"

Everyone applauded and congratulated Shao Ling and Niu Gao.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Where Yang Jin passed by, the guards of Dengzhou, Guanghua Army, and Xiangyang Mansion all fled. What should we do if there are no officials? We have to take care of it for the time being. Before there is an imperial edict, I will take care of it." In Xiangyang Prefecture, Niu Gao is in charge of Dengzhou, Cao Zhiyan is in charge of Ruzhou, Xie Li is in charge of Tangzhou, and Yu Huan is Guanghua Army. Each prefecture has a garrison of 300 troops, which are used to defend the city. Local affairs, each form a Xiang army, and the garrison is not allowed to intervene."

After hearing this, Xie Linong said: "Three hundred garrisons are enough to control the place, and each of them must build another Xiang army? The Xiang army can't fight, they just eat food."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The garrison is a regular army, fighting against foreign countries. Strictly speaking, if it is not the Jin army, there is no need for the garrison to fight. But now besides the Jin army, there are also many rebels everywhere, so the garrison has to destroy the rebels. You Don't underestimate this matter, once the army fighting the war is used for local security, its combat power will decline. The garrison is a regular army, of course it is different."

What is the difference, the people below actually don't understand.But after hunting with Wang Xiao for a long time, knowing that he thinks so, he doesn't say anything.

Wang Xiaolie said again: "In addition, all the troops are stationed in Xinye. Xinye is a good place. During the Three Kingdoms period, the main army was stationed here. It is different from before. It will no longer be wandering. With the assistance of Prime Minister Zhuge, Cheng Cheng The overlord of one side. It’s just that the water conservancy is not repaired now, there are many puddles, the land is not conducive to cultivation, and the population is sparse. It is the place where the Baihe River and the Chaoshui River meet. The transportation is convenient and it is convenient to go to various places. Shao Ling is the commander-in-chief, he practices diligently and prepares for battles at all times."

These were all discussed by Wang Xiaolie and the generals before, and there is no objection to saying it now.

Xinye is an ancient city, but at this time it was deserted and there was no county.Wang Xiaolie decided to station the army there because he was in the center of several states under his control.No matter where there is war, it can be reached quickly.After all, the generals in charge of several states are mainly for deterrence, and the management still depends on the officials below.The real strength of Wang Xiaolie is the army, and the territory provides money and food.In troubled times, there is nothing more reliable than the army.

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaolie said: "There is one more thing to do today, which is to understand the general situation of the world. These days, the former Chen Liujian Jiu Chen Yuyi is a counselor in the army, focusing on collecting intelligence from the world. Let him explain it to everyone .”

Chen Yuyi had never seen such a scene.Standing up, I didn't know what to do for a while.

After repeated urging, Chen Yuyi stepped forward and stood in front.

Clearing his throat, Chen Yuyi said: "I have talked with the people fleeing south these days, and I have a great understanding of the situation in the world. Since last winter, the offensive of the Jin army has been much smaller than last year. Its attack direction is mainly east and west. "

"In the west, the main purpose of the Jin Army was to clear the passage between the East Road and the Shaanxi Road. In September, the Jin Army attacked the Yongxing Army, and the strategy made Guo Yan abandon the city. Originally, the Yongxing army fell. In October, the Jin people surrounded Shanzhou, and Li Yanxian, the prefect, repelled the Jin people. In the same month, the prefectures and prefectures were able to ask for gold. So far, except for Shanzhou, there is no danger from Hedong Road to Shaanxi Road.”

Hearing this, Wang Xiaolie nodded.Obviously, in the eyes of Jin people, Jingxi Road is worthless, and their main goal on the western front is Shaanxi Road.Occupying Shaanxi Road, you can march to the Chuan Gorge.Chuanxia Silu, which is later known as Sichuan, is a coveted land of prosperity.

Chen Yuyi said again: "In the east, the Jin people are clearing the route to the south. Dongping Mansion and Jinan Mansion were attacked by the Jin soldiers. A few days ago, Tokyo Du stayed to guard the Yellow River. The river flowed into Surabaya, and the Jin soldiers were temporarily blocked."

"Besides, this winter, most of the cities defended by Hebei Road and Hedong Road were captured by Jin soldiers. North of the Yellow River, there were no imperial troops. Last year, the Jin army broke Jingxi Road, and all the treasures and population were robbed. , now it seems that Jin Bing has no intention of attacking here again for the time being."

This is the current state of the world.Unlike last year, the main goal of the Golden Army this year is to pull out the nails.The cities defended by Hebei and Hedong were focused on attacking and fell one by one.At the same time, the Jin Army opened up passages from Hedong Road to Shaanxi Road, and from Hebei Road to Jingdong Road and Jianghuai Road.Except for Li Yanxian who stood firm in Shanzhou on the western front, most of the rest of the Jin army achieved their goals.On the eastern front, due to Du Chong's decision of the Yellow River, the offensive of the Jin soldiers was temporarily blocked.

Wang Xiaolie estimated that next year's war should focus on Shaanxi Road.At the same time, on the Eastern Front, the Jin soldiers will inevitably pursue Zhao Gou.On the contrary, the Central Plains area in the middle has temporarily become a safe place.
