Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 23 Wang Yan and Yue Fei

Tielin Camp is located in the southwest corner of Kaifeng City. It was originally a forbidden army camp.Since the Jin army broke the city, it has been deserted for a long time.

After Wang Xiaolie's army entered, they packed up some Anza troops.Zong Ze brought wine and meat, and the whole army had a good meal.

Early the next morning, after Wang Xiaohun got up, he didn't know what to do for a while, and was in a daze in his barracks.These days, I haven't figured out what to do in the future, and what system should be in the military.In the past, there were things to do every day, either marching or fighting.When I settled down in Kaifeng City, I suddenly didn't know what to do.

The sun rose, and suddenly a soldier came in.Crossed hands and said, "Xiaosheren, there is Taiwei Wang Yan outside to see you."

Wang Xiaohun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Go and prepare tea! I'll go out to meet you!"

After leaving the camp gate, I saw a middle-aged general standing outside.There was a young man next to him.There were also a few soldiers leading the horses.

Wang Xiaohun stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "It's Taiwei Wang who is here? I'm here to meet Wang Xiaohun!"

Wang Yan looked at Wang Xiaohun who came out of the camp gate and nodded: "It really is young Yingjie, otherwise there would be no such big victory!"

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the general beside him and said, "This is Fu Xuan, the lieutenant general of our army. Today, I will meet Xiaosheren with me."

At the banquet yesterday, Zong Ze did not introduce everyone to Wang Xiaohun because the generals attending the meeting were too mixed.Now the generals in the city all know what Wang Xiaohun looks like.On the contrary, Wang Xiaohun knew only two, one Ding Jin and one Han Shizhong.

Wang Xiaohun let Wang Yan and Fu Yuan into the camp, and ordered tea to come.

Wang Yandao: "Yesterday, I stayed in front of you. You said that there were only three generals in the city. It was unexpected with me."

Wang Xiao hunted and said: "The captain led the rebel army to fight against gold in the Taihang Mountains, and how many vicious battles were fought, who knows!"

Wang Yan nodded, smiled and did not speak.

Wang Yan was originally a general in Shaanxi.After the fall of Kaifeng Mansion, he first enlisted the envoy Zhang Suo on Hebei Road to rule the capital, and then recruited a rebel army in Taihang Mountain to fight against the Jin army.Because the situation is too bad, I am afraid of being harmed by others, so I change my residence every night.In order to reassure them, the officers and soldiers stabbed eight characters on their faces: "Serve the country with sincerity, and swear to kill the golden thief".The army led by Wang Yan was called the "Eight Character Army".

According to the memory of the previous life, Wang Xiaohun actually didn't remember Wang Yan.However, his "eight-character army" is really famous. Anyone who has a little understanding of the history between the Song and Song Dynasties will know this name.The Eight-character Army was the turn of the Song Dynasty. Among the Song Army, the combat effectiveness was second only to that of the Yue Family Army.It's just that Wang Yan, different from the other generals, went to military power early.

After chatting for a while, Wang Yan asked about the war in the past few days.

After listening to Wang Xiaohun, Wang Yan said: "Xiaosheren, please forgive me. According to what you said, it is very rare for you to be brave and resourceful in this battle. It's just that you must be the forerunner in every battle, not a general. Lord of the army, if you make mistakes in the battle, you will not be able to predict."

Wang Xiaohun nodded: "The captain said yes. I also feel that I can't lead the army, I can't march, and the command is unfavorable. Now there are only a few hundred people. It's okay to say that once there are more troops, this method will definitely fail. It's just that This army, raised by the King of Diligence, and its soldiers and generals are people from the mountains and fields, who knows how to train?

Wang Yan nodded.After thinking about it, he said, "There is no way to do it. The Jin army is fierce, the official army can't resist, and the mountains and rivers are scattered, so can't we only rely on the rebel army?

Wang Xiaolie nodded.Now the army in Kaifeng Prefecture is mostly rebels, and there are very few official troops.Now Wang Xiaolie knows that Zongze's combat-ready army is about 1 strong.The two largest ones are the Bazi Army under Wang Yan, with about [-] people, stationed in Huazhou.The other branch is Kong Yanwei's department, with about [-] people, stationed near Kaifeng.The other armies, ranging from three thousand to one thousand, were stationed in various places around the area.

Wang Yan only recently came to Kaifeng to prepare for the Northern Expedition.Although Kong Yanwei's troops were capable of fighting, Zong Ze's command was inconvenient.There are actually very few troops that Zongze can really command.As for the rebels in the city, most of them were made up.

Wang Xiao's hunters had less than one thousand horses, and they were not impressive at all among the millions of Kaifeng rebels.But when he arrived in Kaifeng, Zong Ze came out to welcome him, and stayed at the mansion to host a banquet, giving him the most preferential treatment.Why?Because the rest of the rebels basically just made up numbers, and Wang Xiaolie could really fight.As for Zongze, as long as he can really fight the enemy, 1000 people cannot be underestimated.

After drinking tea for a while, Wang Xiaohun thought about it.The current situation in Kaifeng Mansion is even worse than he thought.Originally, I thought that there must be heroes in the crowd here, and this is an opportunity for me to broaden my horizons and get to know heroes.It now appears that is far from the case.

Ordinary rebels, such as Ding Jin and others, had already seen Wang Xiaohun.They are talking about tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, and they don't have to take it seriously.Ding Du was inspecting the capital of Kaifeng, and he was considered a combatant among the rebels.But Wang Xiaohun is confident that if he is against himself now, he is not an opponent at all.

What to do next?Wang Xiaohun felt worried.Zongze took the opportunity of the retreat of the Jin army in the summer, and the Northern Expedition was right.What use are these rebels in Kaifeng Mansion?Food wasted in vain.It is better to let them go to Hebei, and the Jin army will come back to fight a good battle.

With the memory of his previous life, Wang Xiaohun said that in Kaifeng City, there were only three generals he had heard of.Now, it looks pretty much the same.Except for Kong Yanwei, who later became a traitor, the rest were just gang thieves, either easily wiped out by the regular army of the Southern Song Dynasty, or surrendered to become a traitor.

After chatting for a while, Wang Xiaohun suddenly said: "Taiwei, if you have nothing to do on weekdays, I hope you can come to Tielin Camp more often."

Wang Yandao: "Why did Xiaosheren say that?"

Wang Xiaohun said: "I'm from Lungmu, and I don't know much about marching and fighting. If the Taiwei taught me, I'm not very grateful!"

Wang Yan smiled and shook his head: "What I want to stay behind day and night is to cross the Yellow River and recover the old soil. Now the weather is hot, and it will be a long time to cross the Hebei, where there is a lot of time."

Wang Xiaolie said sincerely: "Even if you study for a day, it's still good. When the mountains and rivers are drifting away, the army's combat strength increases by one point, and the Jin army will be difficult to come to the south, and the people of the country will benefit. Retreat, when there is no war, this is the right thing to do."

As Wang Yan, it is condescension to visit him today.It wasn't that Wang Xiao successfully defended Gongxian County a few days ago, and he would definitely not come when he mentioned his name in front of Zong Ze.It's a bit of a joke to let myself teach Wang Xiao hunting and training.

I wanted to refuse, but seeing Wang Xiaohun's sincere attitude, I thought for a moment: "Xiao Sheren said so, if I have free time, I can come and have a look. There are many things in the military, how much I can learn depends on Xiaosheren. comprehension."

Wang Xiaohun hurriedly handed over his hands: "The captain is gracious, I will never forget it!"

Wang Yan had been the commander of the capital, and he said that the captain was barely reasonable.However, in the eyes of the Southern Song Dynasty, he was a commander, which was another matter.Historically, when Wang Yan arrived in Lin'an, the imperial court officially appointed him an official, but it was Wu Yilang and Hemen Xuanzansheren, who commanded him. They were not much higher than Wang Xiaohun.And Wang Xiaolie's father was a pass sentence before he retired from office. He was regarded as a mid-level official and respected by everyone.Therefore, calling Wang Xiaohun a Xiaosheren still shows respect for his father.

Wang Yan agreed to teach himself to lead the army in his spare time, and solved Wang Xiaohun's worries.Talk more.Look at the sky near noon, Wang Xiaohun ordered his subordinates to prepare wine and meat, and drink with Wang Yan.

At this moment, the soldiers came in and crossed their hands: "Xiaosheren, there is general Yue Fei outside asking to see you!"

When Wang Xiaohun heard this, he hurriedly stood up, excited in his heart.In this era, seeing Yue Fei is really a big wish.Just as he was about to go out to meet him, he saw Wang Yan's face ashen, and he felt bad about it.
