Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 228 Division of Labor
He talked about his arrangements.Wang Xiaolie said: "After much deliberation, Zhang Jun is the most suitable candidate who can lead the rebel army to the front and establish a guerrilla zone. This matter has been discussed for a long time, so there is no need to entangle. Zhang Jun, would you like it?"

Zhang Jundao: "The last general is ordered! But how big is the guerrilla zone? How many volunteers will be recruited?"

Wang Xiaolie knew that Zhang Jun was concerned about his status.He said with a smile: "Since it is a guerrilla zone, of course the bigger the better, the more troops the better. However, the fundamental function of the guerrilla zone is to protect the safety of the rear, and it cannot be separated from the control of the rear. Looking at it now, we should take Yingchang Mansion, The three prefectures of Chenzhou and Yingzhou are the main areas. Our army takes Rushui as the line of defense, and deploys troops in Xiangcheng, Yancheng, and Caizhou. The guerrilla zone is on the banks of Caihe and Yingshui, trying to control the people as much as possible. In the hands of our army. If the Jin army comes to attack, they will not be able to collect food and soldiers in the local area."

Wang Ruohai said: "The Jin army is different from other armies. It often fights in winter. There are rivers where they ford the ice and it is difficult to stop them."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Ru River does not freeze in most years. Even if it does freeze, it only lasts for a few days, so it is good to prevent it. Compared with the Yellow River, these rivers do not freeze for many days in winter, and pedestrians cannot walk. As long as we If you take precautions, you can help our army."

Zhang Jundao: "That being said, the channel between the Ru River and the Cai River is still too narrow, and it is difficult to stop the army."

Wang Xiaolie said: "I understand clearly, these rivers can help us. To resist the Jin army, of course, we still rely on the army in the rear. When it comes to natural danger, don't think that it is a place where one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it. Make good use of soldiers Or, we should check the geography carefully and arrange them properly. There are indeed too many crossings on the Ruhe River, so we don’t have to defend one place. However, this makes it difficult for us to defend, but it also makes it easier for us to attack. When the enemy comes to attack, our army blocks it, and we can send troops to attack behind The road. When there is chaos in the rear, the enemy troops in front will naturally retreat."

Seeing that Wang Xiaolie was unhappy, Wang Ruohai and Zhang Jun pleaded guilty together.

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "Don't dwell on those minutiae issues, let's talk about the general arrangement today. In a few days, the army will enter Caizhou, and Zhang Jun will lead the army out of Chenzhou. Focus on Chenzhou and build a rebel army. The rebel army and other The army is different. It is required to be easy to gather during a war, and to disperse after a battle. There must be a place such as a cottage where the army can be stationed, and most of the troops should be dispersed among the people. This requires a very familiar with the local geography and human relations, and the support of the people. Organize in Chenzhou as quickly as possible, then go south to Yingzhou, north to Yingchang Mansion, and unite as one."

Zhang Jun said: "I don't know the name of this rebel army?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Let's use the name of the Loyalty Club. The guerrilla army is called the Loyalty Army."

When the Song and Song Dynasties intersected, the folk Loyalty Society was a common organization.Especially in the Two Rivers area, it is everywhere.Many rebels also use the name Zhongyijun, which is a very common name.

Zhang Jun said yes.

Wang Xiaolie said again: "How to build and operate the guerrilla army, there are many things we need to explore, don't rush for success. From now on, the loyal army ahead will take Caizhou as their foundation. Whether it is to learn, to repair, or to For other things, I will go to Caizhou. I want to use Wang to punish and know Caizhou, what do you think?"

When Wang Ruohai came here, he knew that he might go to Caizhou, so he naturally had no objection.

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie sighed: "Until now, our situation is actually very dangerous. Now many people, because of the victory in Shanzhou not long ago, are very excited and feel that they are invincible in the world. How can it be possible! Lou Su only led [-] Jurchen soldiers and was defeated by us after nearly two months after attacking Shanzhou. If the Jin army mainly attacks Shaanxi Road in the next year, we will not be able to save it anyway! And if we attack Xiangdeng on a large scale, with our strength How to resist? If you don’t prepare early, all your efforts will be in vain now! There are no natural dangers in the Xiangdeng area, and you can only barely protect yourself by setting up guerrilla zones. Don’t think this is a small matter, it is related to our Live or die!"

Wang Ruohai said: "The strength of the Jin army is known all over the world. Just defend as you are told, and we will definitely fulfill our mission!"

Wang Xiaolie nodded.He said to Zhang Jun: "You go back today and write me a document about what you are going to do. I read it, Wang Tixing read it, and I will give you advice. One person's wisdom is short, but everyone's wisdom is long. This matter needs to integrate everyone's wisdom .”

Zhang Jun said yes.Seeing that there was nothing else to do, I said goodbye and left.

Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Ruohai: "I have nothing to do today, I have prepared food and wine, and I will drink two glasses with Ti Xing."

Under a crabapple tree in the yard, Wang Xiaolie and Wang Ruohai sat opposite each other.There are four simple dishes and one soup on the table.The dishes are a stir-fried mung bean sprouts, a shiitake mushroom cabbage, a scallion fried lamb, and a roasted rice field eel.The soup is pork ribs and lotus root soup.

After pouring the wine, Wang Xiaolie said, "I've known Ti Xing for more than a year, and I haven't had a good chat with him. It's really a pity."

Wang Ruohai said: "The defense is in charge of several states. It is really rare for the people to be happy in the past year and win a big victory. Wang is not a fool. If you have something to ask, you will never refuse!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Let's drink. Let's talk while eating."

After drinking, put down the glass.Wang Xiaolie said: "This time, there is really no other candidate for the punishment to guard Caizhou. Zhang Jun has been with me for a long time, has made great contributions, and is unwilling to be inferior to others. If it is not for the punishment, the prefect of Caizhou cannot be the prefect. .”

Wang Ruohai said: "I'm not defending the people around me, wouldn't it be more difficult to do so!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "That's right, it's not easy to carry the punishment. However, the punishment is rich in knowledge and has great ambitions, which is incomparable to others. Many things, no matter how clearly I arrange them, other people can't do them, but the punishment can be done."

Wang Ruohai looked at Wang Xiaolie, and asked after a while, "Do you have some confidence in me?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "For more than a year, if I can't even see this matter, I am not good at knowing people!"

Wang Ruohai didn't speak, but looked at the table.After pondering for a long time, he said: "That's what the defense said, it's not easy for the magistrate of Caizhou to do it."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "It's really not easy to do. Not only do you have to govern the local area, but you also need to be on the front line, and you have to take care of the military. In the future, Zhang Jun will be put under the supervision of punishment, and self-determination is enough for non-important matters. Not only that, Caizhou also To support the rebels on the front line, but also manage the enemy's situation, and manage the people in the guerrilla zone. All kinds of affairs are not just about knowing the state."

That being said, Wang Ruohai naturally knew the status of the prefect of Caizhou.The Song Dynasty liked to set up economic and strategic envoys and appeasement envoys in border areas. What Wang Xiaolie said was basically the duties of economic and strategic appeasement envoys.Both the military and the civilians are in charge, and the enemy's situation must also be taken into account.

In terms of official position, Wang Xiaolie naturally does not have the power to decide such an important matter.But at this time, Zhao Gou was still fleeing at sea, and the Song court existed in name only, so who cares what the court thinks?Wang Xiaolie made decisions about the local warlords, of course he had the final say.
