Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 384

Guozhou Yamen, Wang Xiaolie and Li Yanxian lay on the table, carefully studying the map.

Measuring the distance on the map with his hand, Wang Xiao said: "Wushu has arrived in Xin'an, and will soon come to Mianchi. Mianchi is a small city, and it is impossible to stop the Jin army. You should order Shao Yun not to stick to it. If the situation is not right, it will be in time." Evacuate."

Li Yanxian said: "If you can't resist on the road, Wushu will soon come to Shanzhou. At that time, you will be passive."

Wang Xiaolie nodded.Said: "Shao Yun should be ordered to use the terrain to resist the Jin army every day. Shao Yun's first line of defense is Yanxi Town, guarding the west gate of Xin'an. In addition, order Shao Yun to withdraw After Mianchi, rely on Tuhao Town, Ganhao Town, Shihao Town and other important places to defend. If each place can be defended for three to five days, Wushu will be delayed."

Li Yanxian nodded: "That's very good. Luoyang and Shanzhou are all mountain roads, and it will take a lot of effort for Wushu to come here."

Looking at the map, Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and said: "The terrain in this area is steep, the key is to use the terrain, not how many soldiers there are. It is useless not to send reinforcements to Shanzhou. As long as Shaoyun resists steadily, Wushu When we get to the city of Shanzhou, it's time for Wei Yang to occupy Jingzhao Mansion."

At this moment, Wang Ruohai came in from the outside.Holding an official document in his hand, he said happily: "Wei Yang has already sent a list of the food, grass and wealth obtained in Huazhou. I took a rough look and found that there are quite a lot of things."

After speaking, put the official document on the table.

Wang Xiaolie picked it up, took a rough look at it, and said, "A little half of the supplies that the Jin army obtained in Fuping have been transported to Huazhou. Most of them are gold and silver treasures, and there seems to be less food and grass. It seems that the Jin army wanted to send These were shipped back and temporarily stored in Huazhou."

Li Yanxian said with a smile: "It's cheaper for us."

Wang Xiaolie nodded and put down the official document.He said to Wang Ruohai: "Send a thousand cavalry to Huazhou, bring more pack horses, and bring back all the gold, silver, and treasures captured to Guozhou. The food and grass will be distributed to the people on the spot except for those used by the army. When the army passes through the border, the people will not be disturbed." few."

Wang Ruohai said yes.Turned around and walked out the door.

Li Yanxian said: "The Zhenfu army entered Guanzhong, and they are most short of food and grass, how can they give it away with peace of mind?"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head with a smile: "So what about the lack of food and grass? The soldiers have limited stomachs, and they can't take much with them on the march, so they can only give them away. Moreover, the people in Guanzhong have indeed been disturbed a lot after this battle. It is always good to make up for it." .”

Li Yanxian nodded, but did not speak.These days, he and Wang Xiaolie are commanding the battle in Guozhou, and he can feel that this army is different from other armies.The army is lively, and the soldiers are encouraged to hold various entertainment activities when they are free, and the army rewards them.In military training and military operations, the military discipline is strict and the rewards and punishments are appropriate.

Thinking of this, Li Yanxian thought for a while and nodded secretly.That's right, Wang Xiaolie's military discipline can only be said to be strict, not strict.The strictness carried a heavy and oppressive atmosphere, which did not match Wang Xiaolie's army.

This is an army that I have never seen before, with a thriving atmosphere.Although the army has been formed for a short period of time, and there is a special shortage of middle and lower-level officers, the cooperation of the army is not so tacit.But everyone is learning and the army is growing day by day.

What is particularly different is the relationship between Wang Xiaolie's army and the people.The army of the Song Dynasty, with good military discipline, could guarantee that they would not plunder, rob people's property by force, or kill people indiscriminately, which is enough for the people to be called Buddhas.For example, Yue Fei's army's slogan is "don't demolish houses to death from freezing, don't plunder to death from starvation", which is still worse than the later army's "don't take people's needles and threads".Although Wang Xiaolie's army did not have such a resounding slogan, they were not allowed to rob people's property by force and traded fairly, which was basically done.Other military disciplines required by the army at that time, such as killing those who kill people, beheading those who rape civilian women, etc., were strictly enforced in Wang Xiaolie's army.At the beginning of the year, Wang Xiaolie rescued Shanzhou once, and when he came back this time, he was warmly welcomed by the people.

This is a new army, with new ideas, new discipline, and a new mission.Although it has not been clearly mentioned, it is already like a baby in the swaddle, and it is about to fall to the ground.The combat effectiveness of this new army is showing.

Weinan County Government, Wei Yang put down the official document in his hand.Said: "The order of the Zhenfu Army ordered us to cooperate with the cavalry sent to transport all the gold, silver and treasures stored by the Jin Army in Huazhou to Guozhou. All the grain and grass except for the military use were distributed to the local people. This is not a big deal. We don’t have to do it ourselves.”

Cao Yudao: "What the control said is true. The most important thing now is to attack Jingzhao Mansion. If this battle is successful, we will have made a great contribution! No amount of money can be exchanged for it! The Jin Army only has a thousand people in Jingzhao Mansion, and we will attack with all our strength. , is likely to succeed!"

Wei Yang nodded: "Yes, as long as we handle it properly, the Jingzhao Mansion will be in our hands! The Jin army will guard Lingkou Town with 300 people, in conjunction with the 700 puppet troops recruited locally. There are 500 people, plus There are 200 puppet troops of all kinds guarding Lintong. If these two places are destroyed and the Jin army is completely wiped out, there will not be many defenders in Jingzhao Mansion."

Cao Yu looked at the map, frowned and said, "Lingkou Town is a small place, but if the Jin army sticks to it, it will take some time."

Wei Yang said: "What I'm worried about is that it will take too long and we won't be able to enter Jingzhao Mansion. If we break through Tongguan, Luoyang's Wushu will definitely come to the west. If Wushu captures Guozhou and we haven't entered Jingzhao Mansion, it will be too late." The Zhenfu army retreated, and we were blocked in the pass, which was a dead end. In this battle, there is no room for mistakes, the faster the attack, the better!"

After speaking, looking at the rough map on the table, his eyebrows were twisted into twists.Cao Yu didn't speak, they looked at the map on the table together.

Lingkou Town is not just a post station, but also an important defensive gateway in the northeast of Jingzhao Prefecture, blocking the east-west post road.If you don't capture this place, if you attack Jingzhao Mansion on a large scale, you will leave hidden dangers, and the food and grass behind will not be able to be transported.

After thinking and thinking, Wei Yang said: "Send scouts out tomorrow to find out the defense of the Jin army in Lingkou Town. This battle cannot be a hard attack. Finally, think of a strategy to catch the enemy by surprise and win the battle! Jingzhao Mansion will It's really useless to be blocked under the city more than a hundred miles away!"

Cao Yu said: "Tomorrow I will personally lead the scouts! It's just an army of [-] gold, and it's not a big city. There are always loopholes to find!"

Wei Yang thought for a while, and said: "Okay! Remember to check the situation of the enemy's deployment, and come back as soon as possible. The Jin army is cavalry, don't be discovered by them. It's bad luck, the enemy really spotted it, and retreated in time .I will arrange people to respond here. When the Jin people come after them, they will wipe out all the pursuers!"

Cao Yu promised.With 3000 people on my side, facing [-] golden soldiers, what I am afraid of is that the enemy will stick to the city and not come out.As long as you come out, how can you be afraid of them?As for the seven hundred puppet troops, there is no need to count them.The puppet army that can really fight, such as Wei Yi, has already been sent out.

Wei Yang straightened up, looked at the map on the table, and slapped his hands hard.

After occupying Tongguan, Xue Cheng led his army northward.Chaoyi has been occupied and is approaching Tongzhou.There is no golden army in the same state, and it is not difficult to occupy it.Hearing that the Song army was coming, most of the surrounding states and counties were willing to submit to the imperial court.The victory of the Jin army in Guanzhong is not solid.

Wei Yang led the army to advance westward rapidly. After occupying Huazhou a few days ago, he went up the Wei River and occupied Weinan. Jingzhao Mansion was within easy reach.The Jin army of Jingzhao Mansion hastily fought, and most of them were stationed in Lintong.As long as Lintong County is broken, Jingzhao Mansion will be at your fingertips.
