Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 587

In Baowei Village, Luo Cang is drinking at his residence.The fourth lady snatched back from Hejiazhuang was cooking a pot of meat while bending over to look at the fire.

Luo Cang took a sip of wine, closed his eyes and smacked slowly, with an expression of enjoyment.

This fourth lady was originally given to Jinzhou guard general by He Yuanwai to be a concubine. It is rare to see her husband once in weekdays, and she stays alone in the empty room all day long. How can there be any affection?Being snatched by Luo Cang, although life is similar to before, he can often see his man's face on weekdays, which is much better than before.It's hard to say whether she is happy or not, life just goes on like this.Taking care of Luo Cang's daily life on weekdays, regardless of Luo Cang's affairs, it's just plain.

While Luo Cang was enjoying it, Luo Fu walked in quickly from outside.Said: "Brother, the Jin army attacking Shenshan County has been defeated!"

Luo Cang opened his eyes abruptly.Said: "Their [-] troops, why were they defeated?"

Luo Fu said: "The guard Jiang Min used his troops like a god, and he had already laid a net in the county! The Jin army attacked, and within a long time, they were all killed! Only Jin Shuai, Tarlan, heard that he was instructed by the mountain god. Escape with your life!"

Luo Cang said: "This Song general, Jiang Min, is so powerful, I really underestimated him before! - What does this have to do with us? What are you doing in such a panic?"

Luo Fu slapped his thigh: "Brother, Jin Jun came south, and I don't know how much money they robbed! They went to attack Shenshan County, and the money was behind, and a few Ahexis took care of it. Now that Jin Jun has been wiped out by Jiang Zhao, the money is gone A thing without an owner? Everyone discussed it, wouldn't it be nice to take our flowers?"

Luo Cang said: "Jiang Zhaofu killed the Jin Army, so why didn't he take the Jin Army's property?"

Luo Fu said: "Jiang Zhaofu's subordinates are imperial officials and soldiers. How can they be like us? After the Jin army was wiped out, they didn't go out of Shenshan County, but just guarded the place. Now there is an uproar in the border of Jinzhou, and all the heroes want to take this injection of money Come on. If it is done, aren't we also sacrificing our lives to serve the country?"

Luo Cang scolded: "A robber is a robber, what kind of country do you want to serve? - However, what you said is also reasonable. The gold army is gone, and the money becomes ownerless. Why not take it? The three thousand gold army is gone. , now the defenders of Jinzhou City must be terrified, there is no reason to stop us."

After speaking, I sat in my seat and thought about it.Said: "No, I'm going to see the village owner! If we don't go for this business, I'm afraid we will be robbed by others!"

Luo Fu clapped his hands happily: "That's right! Our brothers have gone up the mountain, but we haven't made any achievements yet. Don't be underestimated by making some achievements this time!"

In the village hall, several chiefs gathered together, and you talked to each other, and came up with all kinds of ideas.Luan Qingshan sat on it, he couldn't let it go for a while.

Luoyang government office, Wang Xiaolie looked at Jiang Min's official documents.It took a long time before it was put on the case.

Wang Ruohai on one side said: "I didn't expect that Jiang Min could wipe out the Jin army in one battle. This is a great victory! With more than 1000 troops and Liang Xing's less than 2000 people, who would have dared to think so before? Look. Come on, our estimate of the strength of the army is still insufficient."

Wang Xiaolie said: "It is indeed an underestimation. I have a huge relationship, so I dare not be too optimistic. With artillery in the army, it is just right to restrain the Jinren. However, I dare not think too much about this advantage. .What if the golden army has a genius who changes its tactics and is not restricted by artillery? The safest thing is not to put the hope of victory in the war on one or two weapons, but to train a truly strong army."

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaolie sighed.

This is the difference between a leader and a general.As a political leader, Wang Xiaolie couldn't simplify the problem. He had to think of all kinds of possibilities and ensure his side's final victory.Jiang Min is different, he can maximize his individual advantages.Even if something goes wrong, Wang Xiaolie will bear the consequences and make up for it from other directions.

Standing up, Wang Xiaolie looked out the window.

It's already late spring, the garden is full of flowers blooming, the trees are turning green, and the grass and warblers are singing in spring. It looks like a thriving scene.After years of catastrophe, the Central Plains has regained its vitality.This spring, when all things are revived, is just like the Central Plains.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Xiaolie said: "From the perspective of Hedong, we have set the tasks of each army a little more conservatively. Reorganize Jiang Min's official documents, and make Li Yanxian, Niu Gao and Shao Ling popular, let them They took a look and told all the armies to give full play to the power of artillery in battle. The enemy army formed a heavy formation and used artillery to bombard it without hesitation. When the enemy fled, the cavalry must keep up and seize all opportunities. Liu Lin The army has been concentrated in Kaifeng, and the battle on the eastern front is about to start. Tell Niu Gao to achieve the suddenness of the artillery, exert its greatest power, and end the battle in the shortest time. After victory, immediately take Mengzhou and Huaizhou, and go north to take Zezhou, and even take Longde Mansion. Tell Shao Ling, we must block the main force of Balisu, and cooperate with Li Yanxian to wipe it out! After the war, go north and take Hezhong Mansion, Jiezhou and Jiangzhou. In this battle, not only must we defend Luoyang, but also occupy Jinnan!"

Wang Ruohai took a breath: "Shuai Jie is so bold!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "I used to underestimate the combat effectiveness of the army. I thought that even if we won, it would be enough to take Mengzhou and Huaizhou and occupy Shanzhou. Judging from Jiang Min's battle in Shenshan County, this is not enough Yes. Not only do we want to occupy Jingxi Road, but we also want to occupy southern Shanxi, taking the entire Central Plains!"

The Central Plains, in the narrowest sense, should refer to the land of three rivers, namely the three counties of Hanoi, Hedong, and Henan.The so-called "Hedong is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Hanoi is the capital of the Yin people, and Henan is the capital of the Zhou people. The Fu Sanhe is in the world, like a tripod, where the king lives, and the founding of the country is hundreds of thousands of years old."

In ancient times, this area developed earlier and had good conditions, and it was the core area of ​​China.Of course, by the time of the Song Dynasty, the vicissitudes of life had already changed, and the three places were no longer the most prosperous places in the world.The reason why Wang Xiaolie wants to occupy these areas is mainly because they are geographically connected with Luoyang, and it is easier to form a whole after they are occupied.Since Du Chong conquered the Yellow River a few years ago, it was not easy for Wang Xiaolie to expand to the lower reaches of the Yellow River, that's all he could do.

The reason for not going west to Guanzhong for the time being is because Wang Xiaolie didn't want to contact the court's regular army prematurely.Once in Guanzhong, Zhang Jun may command his own army, and there will be situations beyond his control.This kind of situation is what Wang Xiaolie tries to avoid.

Wang Ruohai said: "Occupying Jiangzhou, can the Jin army still sit in Taiyuan?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Jurchen only have so many people, and they can only recruit so many soldiers. Over the years, they destroyed Liao, broke Kaifeng Mansion, and attacked Xixia. There are enemies everywhere. The enemy must defend, how can it be Can it be defended? When we fight Shaanxi, we don’t have enough troops to defend Hedong. This is a natural defect. We have already captured Luoyang, so of course we have to fight out. The nearest place is Hedong Road.”

Wang Ruohai nodded: "Jie Shuai said yes. If the Jin army wants to save Hedong, I am afraid that tens of thousands of troops will be dispatched."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Judging from the first battle in Shenshan County, we don't have to be afraid of the Jinren sending out overwhelming soldiers. This is different. We can firmly occupy the Luoyang area and develop our own strength with peace of mind."

After so many years, Wang Ruohai could see that although Wang Xiaolie did not rebel, he did not have much respect for the imperial court.Far away from the imperial court, Wang Xiaolie developed his strength with peace of mind.There are difficulties around, and he never hesitates to rescue, but that's all.
