Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 387 They are not easy

Putting down the official document in his hand, Wang Xiaolie's eyes were a little moist.

The official document was sent by Xue Cheng.In the name of Li Songchen, dozens of leaders of rebel armies in central and southern Jin jointly signed, willing to obey orders and cooperate with Xue Cheng in fighting the Jin army.The wording inside is sincere, expressing the determination to fight bloody to the end.

Standing up, Wang Xiao said: "Since Jingkang, the golden captives attacked the two rivers, and countless rebels rose up. Many people died and died, fighting with the golden army at the cost of their lives. Some people couldn't hold on and had to cross Crossing the big river, such as Wang Yan of Jin Junfang. There are also some people who stick to their homeland and fight against the Jin army under extremely difficult conditions. It is not easy for these people. How can we let them down?"

Wang Ruohai said: "I read from the document that there are quite a few of these rebels. If they can be organized properly, they will be of great use!"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Without training, it is difficult for the rebel army to adapt to the confrontation between the two armies. Looking at the large number, it is of course useful for them to slow down the actions of the Jin army or serve as guides. But if you open up the formation, The combat effectiveness of most armies will disappoint. This is not the fault of the rebels. They are facing such battles and can only become such an army. If they have been trained and equipped, it is another matter. You sent a message to tell Xue Cheng, in the frontal battle with the Jin army, his army should be the main force. Let the rebel army spy on the enemy and disturb the enemy. Also, take advantage of the emptiness in the Guanzhong, send them some money, silk, food, and grass. Let them persist for a few more years After a few years of hard work, it will be of great use when the imperial army counterattacks."

Wang Ruohai said yes.

Li Yanxian said: "More than two years ago, Lou Su ravaged Shaanxi and broke through the Yanyan Road. Many rebels lost contact with the imperial court. Many generals in our army crossed the big river to vote at that time."

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "It is difficult for the rebel army behind the enemy. Without the support of outside forces, it is difficult to form a stable base. Without a base, it is difficult to develop. If it cannot develop, it will always face the encirclement and suppression of the Jin people. Is it easy to stick to it?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaolie paced back and forth in the room for a few steps.Said: "Tell Xue Cheng to find out the road from Jiangzhou to the south, and it is best to leave reliable contacts. After this battle, we can't cut off contact with them. Give some help if necessary."

Wang Ruohai promised.

At the turn of the Song Dynasty, the Northern Rebel Army was so difficult that it had a lot to do with Zhao Gou.In Zhao Gou's eyes, unless there are some special periods, these rebels are more like thieves.Rather than surrendering to the Jin army, Zhao Gou was unwilling to give any support to the rebel army.

Facing the invasion of the Jin army, the frontal battlefield and the rebel army behind the enemy should complement each other, and each is a part of the war.When the frontal battlefield is smooth, the rebel army behind the enemy will develop greatly, providing more assistance to the frontal battlefield.If the frontal battlefield is defeated for thousands of miles, it will be even more difficult for the rebels behind the enemy.

When Li Yanxian was in Shanzhou, the rebels in the south of the East Road could get support.Li Yanxian is in trouble, and it is difficult for these rebels to support them.

With the strength of the Jin army, it is difficult to effectively occupy Hedong and Hebei.Just like East Road, when the Jin army attacked Shaanxi, only Wanyan's very skillful army of about 1 people remained.In most of the states and counties on Hedong Road, the Jin army is only a restraint.The same is true for Hebei Road. Once the army comes out, most of the places behind are empty cities.

If the Song Army has a strong army of 30 to [-], it can hold the Jin Army on the front line.Even if it is a stalemate, within a year or two, there will be wars in the rear of the Jin army, and the undefeated army on the front line will also be defeated.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolie shook his head helplessly.In the battle of Fuping, the Song army lost 20 troops, which was too great a loss.Proper use of the 20 troops can drag the main force of the Jin army to Shaanxi.As long as 3 or [-] people enter Hedong, the Jin army's retreat will be cut off.To say that Zhang Junzhi has great talent and lack of talent is really not wronging him, burying the largest mobile corps in the Song Dynasty at once.

The current Wang Xiaolie distrusts the imperial court and other generals of the Song Army very much.To fight against the Jin army, we mainly rely on our own strength.Even if you need to hibernate for a while, you don't take risks.Yue Fei hadn't grown up yet, and the generals at this time, including the famous general Han Shizhong, had a frightening record in fighting the Jin army.A large-scale battle with the Jin army is most likely to lose the main force of the army.

Wang Ruohai wrote the official document, Wang Xiaolie and Li Yanxian signed it, and ordered someone to send it.

Sitting down in his seat, Wang Xiaolie said: "After the battle of Fuping, the momentum of the Jin army is in full swing. From the perspective of the general situation, the enemy is strong and we are weak. This situation has not changed. Now we do not have a big battle with the Jin army. Basically, you should try to avoid frontal combat. When attacking, attack the weak points of the enemy, and try to use favorable terrain when defending. Don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, and pursue the elimination of the vital strength of the Jin army. In this way, when the Wushu army comes to attack , they gave up Guozhou and retreated to Lushi. We used the hundreds of miles of mountains from Guozhou to Lushi to help us defend. As soon as the Jin army left, they immediately sent troops to break Wei Yi's weak point. At this time, Guozhou was reoccupied, and the entire Guanzhong is right in front of you.”

Li Yanxian said: "What Zhenfu said is true. If I had figured out this rite earlier and voluntarily withdrew from Guozhou, the loss would have been less."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Let's be clear. The Jurchens are rising rapidly, and their numbers are small, so their strength is naturally limited. The elimination of thousands of people is a huge blow to the Jin army, and the elimination of more than [-] Jin troops will directly affect the Jin army. The more troops you accumulate, the greater your chances of victory. In the next few years, you must adhere to this principle. While training troops, you will make the surrounding Golden Army unstable."

Having said that, Wang Xiaolie turned around and said to Wang Ruohai: "Write a letter to Li Songchen. In the next few years, I hope they can persist in fighting and not fight head-on with the Jin army. To achieve these ten Six words. Don’t seek to occupy the city, and insist on victory. Focus on uniting the people so that the Jin army can’t recruit soldiers or food on the Hedong Road. When the imperial army grows stronger, cooperate with the army’s Northern Expedition! "

Wang Ruohai read it silently, and said with a smile: "It looks simple, but it is actually quite learned."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The combat policy for the army must be simple and effective. There are too many principles for everyone to understand. Such a strategic policy should be like a jingle, and everyone can understand it as soon as they hear it."

After pausing for a while, Wang Xiaolie said again: "If you want the rebel army to be famous on Hedong Road, you must unite. Dozens of rebel villages form a whole. As a whole, you can make great strides in battle. Retreat. Let the Jin army lose the support of the people on Hedong Road. Let the enemy lose the support of the people, and we get the support of the people, which is the most important thing."

Wang Ruohai seemed to understand these words, but only recorded them one by one.The military thinking at this time was actually very backward.Officers in the army manage soldiers mainly by class law and severe punishment.The relationship between officers and soldiers is like this, let alone the relationship with the people.

Wang Xiaolie strictly trains the army and pays attention to the relationship with the people, which many people don't understand.It's just that in this era, the authority of the chief is valued, and execution is enough.We have won several big victories in succession this year, and everyone is slowly accepting it.
