Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 219 Attack?

Outside the city of Shanzhou, Wang Xiaolie looked at the people on the road helping the old and the young, moving south all the way.Yang Shen arranged special personnel to organize the people to move south.Their diet is in charge of by a special person, and there are rest stops along the road.When to set off and when to rest, all refer to the army.

Chen Yuyi said: "After winning the battle, the people were moved away. Observe, this matter is always a bit strange."

Wang Xiaolie said: "If you can't win the battle, you can't move the people if you want to. The council, the people have suffered too much in the past few years. But whenever possible, we must try our best to make them no longer Suffering. The Jin army in the north is separated by Yanjing and Yunzhong, and they go south every year. If the people are not relocated, they will be robbed by the Jin. What can I do?"

Chen Yuyi nodded, but he always felt strange in his heart.The people are moved only when the battle is defeated, why bother to move when the victory is won?As long as Shanzhou is defended, what if the Jin army comes?Lou Su attacked Shanzhou this year with great power, wasn't he rescued by Wang Xiaohun?
However, Wang Xiaolie understood that the number of Jurchens who attacked Shanzhou this time was less than 3.If the Jin army's focus of attack turns to Shaanxi, the size of the army coming next time will be completely different.I have more than [-] people, not enough to directly confront the main force of the Jin army.

After watching for a long time, Wang Xiao said: "Today Zhai Guan came from Luoyang, and Zhang Shumi also sent envoys to discuss matters in Shanzhou City. Let's go back early. There are so many people here, it must be very lively today."

When the two returned to Shanzhou City, Chen Yuyi went to recruit his subordinates and asked them to follow Wang Xiaolie's instructions to move with the people who moved south.On the way, look at the living conditions of the people, listen to the voices of the people, and see what they think.All this must be recorded, it can be regarded as a historical picture scroll.

In the Shanzhou yamen, Wang Xiaolie was resting in the room alone.In the afternoon, Li Yanxian sent someone to say that Zhai Xing had already arrived outside the city.

Welcome out of the city with Li Yanxian.Then I saw Zhai Xing entering dozens of soldiers, coming with the setting sun behind his back.

Come forward and see the ceremony.Zhai Xing went up and down Wang Xiaolie, and said: "But I haven't seen each other for two years, and I didn't want to observe to be able to do such a great thing! The things in the world are really amazing. At that time, Ruzhou was farewell, and today is today if I don't want to observe!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "When the world is in trouble, as long as you focus on state affairs, you will surely have a bright future!"

Zhai Xing and Li Yanxian said yes together.The three of them walked side by side and entered the city of Shanzhou.

After sitting down in the official hall, Li Yanxian invited tea, and the three of them talked about trivial matters.

Wang Xiaolie repelled the Jin army in Shanzhou, and the nearby Jin army quickly retreated northward.Zhai Xing led his troops into Luoyang City without much effort.After several wars, Luoyang at this time was extremely dilapidated.There are less than [-] households in the city, and most of them cultivate fields, which are worthless.

When the Song Dynasty was founded, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin wanted to make Luoyang the capital.The plan at that time was to set the capital in Kaifeng when the country was first established, and then move the capital to Luoyang when the time was right, and then move the capital to Chang'an in the future.It's just that when Emperor Taizong arrived, he didn't have this plan.Therefore, the largest city in the Song Dynasty was not Kaifeng Mansion, but Luoyang City, which was much larger than Kaifeng Mansion.

The city of Luoyang is large, but its population is not as large as that of Kaifeng. There is a lot of idle land in the city.There are not only garden pools and pavilions for high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, but also many vegetable households grow vegetables.Even in remote places, there are rice fields and mulberry forests.Now abandoned, there is no difference between the city and the countryside.

In the previous life, someone invented a saying that the only city in China that has not changed its name in 3000 years of history is Handan.Wang Xiaolie felt very strange.China has a long history, and there are too many cities that have not changed their names. Why is there only one Handan?For example, Chang'an, Chang'an County has always been there, but Jingzhao Mansion not only has Chang'an County, but also Wannian County.For example, Kaifeng Prefecture, not only Kaifeng County, but also Xiangfu County.For example, Henan Prefecture, not only Luoyang County, but also Henan County.In Chinese history, the division of counties was relatively stable, while the two levels above the county changed more.There are many places like Chang'an and Luoyang, all of which have not changed their names for thousands of years.

At this time, Henan Prefecture had jurisdiction over two counties, Luoyang and Henan.It was Xijing, Luoyang County in the Song Dynasty.Luoyang is the old name, and it is the name of the county, so people often call it Luoyang.Similar to this is Dengzhou, which governs Nanyang County, but because it is Nanyang County, Dengzhou is sometimes called Nanyang.

The Jin soldiers went south, mainly attacking the eastern and western capitals.After many wars, Luoyang City at this time has long been dilapidated.Moreover, the people fled, and the role as a military base is no longer significant.As long as the Central Plains did not establish a relatively stable rule, Luoyang, like Kaifeng, was almost an empty city.

When Zhai Xing talked about the scene of entering Luoyang City, he couldn't help shaking his head.When the scene is relatively prosperous now, it is almost heaven and earth.

Wang Xiao said: "There is no support from other places. Luoyang and Kaifeng are the places of the Fourth World War. The Jin army went south, and the bandits made troubles, and they have already become empty cities. The imperial court has no strength to resist the Jin army. These two places are Death. It’s better to move the people in this area away, and then move back when they can defeat the Jin army. Without the people, the Jin army will have no food and grass, which is actually not a bad thing.”

Zhai Xingdao: "These days I have been hearing that people are moving south to observe people. When I entered Shanzhou, I saw a steady stream of people on the road. Observation, the Central Plains is a rich and prosperous place. It is worth discussing whether to abandon it or not."

At this moment, the soldiers came to report that Liu Ziyu, Zhang Jun's envoy, had arrived.

Welcoming Liu Ziyu into the city, everyone sat down.Liu Ziyu said: "Although the battle of Shanzhou was difficult this time, fortunately, Wang Xiaolie traveled [-] miles and came to help from Dengzhou. The privy secretary was promoted to his official position, and he was promoted to Luoyao County. , to reward his loyalty to state affairs!"

Zhai Xing and Li Yanxian congratulated Wang Xiaolie together.Wang Xiaolie was originally the governor of Yao County, and in Luoyao County, the Lang and the doctor in front of him went to become the real history of defense.The promotion of military officials in the Song Dynasty was slow, and there were too many ranks, among which Luoyao County was the most advantageous.Although Yaojun has titles such as Defense History and Observation Envoy, his official rank is actually very low.For example, Li Yanxian, at this time, is Doctor Youwu and Ningzhou Observer, and everyone calls him Li Guan, which matches his name.Wang Xiaolie's observation is just a respectful name for him.But when he was discussing the official status, Li Yanxian's real official rank was Dr. Youwu, who was the sixth rank, and had just entered the ranks of important officials.If it is Luoyao County, it will be Dr. Youwu who went to the front. He was an observer when he was an official, and he became a noble official, a real high-ranking military officer.

The generals in Luoyao County are generally promoted or not promoted on the basis of the former Yao County officials, and basically will not be demoted.It is equivalent to ascending many ranks in succession.

Zhang Jun came out of Sichuan and Shanxi, and he had great power.General political affairs can be directly decided, that is, contracted system.For an official of Wang Xiaolie's level, Zhang Jun didn't have to report to the court, he just made the decision, and the court would ratify it afterwards.

Just celebrate.Liu Ziyu said: "Now the Jin army is entrenched in the Longmen area, and they dare not invade Jiangzhou. The river east is empty, and Taiyuan's Wanyan Yinshu can't draw troops to support it. This is a good time for our army to attack! Privy officials intend to gather in Shaanxi The army, cross the Yellow River and attack the East Road! Take advantage of the false attack on Taiyuan Mansion, even if you take Yunzhong, it will not be surprising!"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaolie, Li Yanxian and Zhai Xing were all taken aback.Several people were discussing retreat, but Zhang Jun wanted to attack. This decision was too sudden.Moreover, Wang Xiaolie's troops are not many, even with the addition of Li Yanxian and Zhai Xing, they are not enough to fight against the Jin army.

After being silent for a while, Li Yanxian said: "Sensei, our army suffered a lot in the battle of Shanzhou, and now we are really powerless to fight again. The king's defense force has more than [-] troops, and all the food and grass are transported from Dengzhou, so we can't support it now. If we fight again, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up."
