Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 411 Rewards
"Sanju Liu was in Qiande County yesterday, and he should arrive in Xiangyang City tomorrow. You need to prepare early and greet him grandly." Wang Xiaolie said, picking up the official documents on the case. "Ah, Zhang Jun is going back to Xiangyang to report on his work? There are no major events these days. What is he doing when he comes back?"

"Alas—" Wang Ruohai put the official document on the case, stood up, and shook his head. "It should be that there is something going on in his family, but it's hard to say it directly. This Zhang Jun has been very effective in doing things near Yingchang Mansion recently, and he is about to use it. How do you know—"

Having said that, Wang Ruohai couldn't help shaking his head.

Wang Xiaolie took another look at the official document, put it on the case, and didn't ask any more questions.There are two mothers and sons in Zhang Jun's family. Since it is a family matter, who else can it be except his mother?Zhang Jun's mother is charming, and she is really not worrying.

Zhang Jun couldn't ignore Wang Xiao's big hunting victory this time.Specially sent counselor Liu Ziyu from the east of Xingyuan Mansion to Xiangyang to reward Wang Xiaolie and other participants in the battle.Among Zhang Jun's commander-in-chief, Liu Ziyu was the second person, which was extremely grand.

Early the next morning, Wang Xiaolie led the officials and others to meet him ten miles away.Then came Liu Ziyu and his party, who respectfully invited them to the city.

After sitting down in the yamen of Zhenfusi, Wang Xiaolie said: "The counselors have come to work hard. Seeing that it's not early, I prepared a few glasses of thin wine here to cleanse the councilors. Rest early, and we will talk about things tomorrow. How about it?"

Liu Ziyu said with a smile: "I was ordered by the Privy Councilor to come from afar, just to reward you all. This is a good thing, how can I wait?"

After speaking, he took out Zhang Jun and declared his order, and handed it to Wang Xiaolie.He said: "How about the specifics, Zhenfu can go back and read it by himself. There are too many people in it, and I can't read them one by one for a while. However, Zhenfu and several outstanding generals are not allowed to read by myself."

After finishing speaking, he took out another proclamation.Wang Xiao hunted down the incense case and listened to his reading.

Wang Xiaolie was promoted from the observation envoy to the Zhennan army envoy, and was still the envoy of Xiangyangfu, Deng, Ru, and Tangzhou.Li Yanxian was promoted to Zhongwei doctor and Rongzhou observer envoy, and Wang Ruohai, Wei Yang, Xue Cheng and others all received awards.In addition, 200 taels of gold and 3000 taels of silver were given to Wang Xiaohun's army.

Handing the order to Wang Xiaolie, Liu Ziyu said: "Most of the eunuchs in various places are remote county officials. Only Xiangyang is different from other places. The eunuch has become the official envoy. Speaking of this matter, Privy Yang is very emotional."

Wang Xiaolie smiled but said, "Does the Privy Councilor think it's inappropriate? If you think the position is too high, you might as well demote it."

Liu Ziyu hastily waved his hands again and again: "Where are you talking? Zhenfu has made outstanding achievements, and Jiedu is not an exaggeration. What is Chengxuan envoy! Since Zhenfu came to Xiangyang, he rescued Shanzhou twice, Jingmen once, and captured the general of the Jin army. , Beheaded countless! No one in the world can compare!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "The Jin army marched too fast this time, leaving a gap, it's nothing. Privy secretaries commanded the army and held Eriduo so that I could easily enter Jingzhao Mansion. Speaking of which, it's not all mine. Credit."

After saying a few polite words, seeing that the sun was about to set, he set up a banquet in the back office.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Ziyu said: "I heard that Zhenfu and Li Jinglue's army merged to defend against the enemy together. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "That's right. Li Jinglue is now in Xiangyang Mansion, and the Senate has also seen it."

Liu Ziyu looked at Li Yanxian and nodded.After a moment of silence, he said: "With the territory under Zhenfu's current rule and the strength of the troops in his hands, the name of the governor of the four prefectures does not match the real name. The privy thought about it, and it would be more appropriate to change to another official position. It's just that the imperial court has newly appointed governors from all over the country. , Sudden replacement, I'm afraid it will cause doubts. The privy secretary said that the appeasement is at the key position, and going north is the old place of the two capitals, the most important thing. Just do it with confidence, the privy secretary will support you. As long as you resist the gold, you will be a loyal minister of the court !"

After hearing this, Wang Xiaolie cupped his hands and said, "I'm relieved when the Privy Councilor said so. In this world, if you have fewer soldiers in your hands, you can't stop the golden man. If you have too many soldiers in your hands, it is inevitable that some people will say something bad. We are outside Leading troops is really difficult!"

Liu Ziyu said: "Relax your mind, just relax your mind! Now that the Jin army has gathered a large army in Shaanxi, you are scratching your back. Fighting like this in the past winter and this spring, the Zhenfu can greatly support Shaanxi. Such a great achievement, the Privy Council will definitely There is a reward!"

The Jin army entered the Central Plains several times, and the Liangjing area actually became a wasteland.Especially Luoyang, Xijing, has lost its strategic value from an important place in the world, and the Jin army has been occupied by Meng Bangxiong.For Zhang Jun, the greatest value of Wang Xiaolie is not to threaten the two capitals, but to support Shaanxi.Fuping lost in the first battle last year was really embarrassing, Zhang Jun urgently needs to win to prove himself.

It is not true to support Wang Xiaohun's army expansion and shield him from the wind and rain.In the current situation, there are strong people everywhere in Jinghu and Lianghuai, and the imperial court cannot effectively rule at all.Wang Xiaolie's location can support Sichuan, Shu and Shaanxi to the west, support the Huaihe River and Huaihe River to the east, deter Jinghu and Jinghu in the south, and threaten the two Beijings in the north. It has strategic value for the Song Dynasty.From Zhang Jun's point of view, at least at this time, he should give full support.

Generally speaking, the official rank of the Zhenfu envoy is not high, the highest is the Yaojun official.Because of Wang Xiaolie's many military exploits and important status, he became the official envoy.Chengxuan envoy is the former Jieduliu, second only to Jiedu envoy among the martial ranks.However, at the turn of the Song Dynasty, there were too many official positions removed by the imperial court.It is not true that it has entered the imperial court system, and most of them cannot be regarded as true.

While drinking, he talked about the recent war in Shaanxi.Wang Xiaolie attracted Eriduo back to help, and Zhang Jun's pressure was greatly relieved.Except that Fengxiang Mansion was occupied by the Jin Army, Qinfeng Road kept most of the territory, and Liu Ziyu was in a good mood.

After chatting for a while, Liu Ziyu said: "I heard someone say on the way that Zhen Fu wants to reorganize the various armies?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "That's right. The command system was chaotic and inconvenient when I fought against the Jinren a few times. In order to facilitate the battle, my army will be reorganized. The general principle is to increase the command level and set up more generals to avoid temporary defeat. , the entire army lost command."

Liu Ziyu said: "Zhenfu, the general must be dedicated! On the battlefield, the flags are messy, and the golden drum is earth-shattering. Once the general is not dedicated, the soldiers under him will easily be at a loss! Of course, the Zhenfu is the one who commands the troops. There must be a reason for it.”

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "Everyone has their own opinions on how to lead troops. I think there are rules to follow in war, and power cannot be attributed to one person, otherwise it is easy to lose everything. Therefore, in the army, the former generals Arbitrary command, instead of centralized command by several generals. Moreover, the different formations of the army should have different numbers of people and different combat effectiveness to deal with various situations."

Liu Ziyu thought for a while, then couldn't help shaking his head and said: "To be honest, it's not unreasonable for Zhenfu to say this. It's just that the army pays attention to military orders like a mountain. Once there are too many people participating, the command will inevitably be chaotic. Just like the Jin army on the opposite side, Under the order, even if it is a mountain of swords and seas of fire, they are not allowed to look back. When encountering a real bitter battle, they often tie several people together with ropes, and those who turn back will be killed immediately! It is really a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​​​blood. Only in this way can they wipe out Daliao, Break through the Kaifeng mansion! Our army is too weak to fight, and we should learn more about gold talents is the right way!"

Wang Xiaolie smiled.Said: "Counselor, the golden man was born between the white mountains and the black waters. He has little knowledge and is used to suffering. That kind of warfare may be suitable for them, but it may not be suitable for us Han people. When the two armies are fighting, we should use our strengths. Avoiding the enemy's shortcoming, blindly learning from others is probably not enough. If you want to win the Golden Army, you must first start by understanding your own people."

Seeing that Wang Xiaolie could not be persuaded, Liu Ziyu sighed and said no more.In the past two years, Wang Xiaohun has been in Xiangyang, winning consecutive battles, of course he has his own way of fighting.No matter how well said, there is no convincing record.

Since the Jin army invaded the south, the Song Dynasty must study the Jin army and come up with various reasons.However, these reasons are all observed by the people of the Song Dynasty from their own perspective. Some of them are reasonable, and some are not.Most people, the more they study the Jin Army, the more they feel that the Jin Army is invincible.

The so-called know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.If you don't know who you are, it's easy to get confused.If you don't know yourself, you can't talk about change.How can you succeed if you blindly copy others?
