Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 605 Intention to Hedong
When Li Yanxian arrived at the government office in Henan, he saw Wang Xiaolie standing there.Hastily dismounted, stepped forward to salute.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Shaanzhou has won such a big victory. I should have greeted you outside Luoyang City. It's just that my status is limited, so I will inevitably be gossiped by others, so I have to wait for you here early. This big victory is indeed true. Boosting the morale of the people of the country is no small matter. A banquet is prepared tonight to welcome you."

Li Yanxian said: "It's all thanks to Commander Jie's command, how dare I take credit for it?"

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "It would be wrong to say that this victory depends entirely on the lives of the people on the front line. How many officials in the rear are busy day and night? Because the people in the rear have done a lot of things, it is also wrong to say that the front line deserves credit. The war depends on each of us, united, to win the final victory. However, in the process, there are always people who contribute more, and others Less credit."

Wang Ruohai said: "It is a fact that some people have more meritorious deeds, while others have less meritorious deeds. Whose meritorious deeds are more and whose demerits are less? Jie Shuai said that the people on the front line should always contribute more. Life and death are of course different."

After a few gossips, several people entered the government office.

Let the others go to rest, Wang Xiaolie said to Li Yanxian: "Shao Ling and Niu Gao are also here today, we need to discuss what to do next. Of course we have to celebrate when we win the battle, and let other people do it. We have more important things."

Li Yanxian cupped his hands: "What Jieshuai said is exactly what it should be."

Arriving at the headquarters next to the official hall, Wang Xiaolie ordered everyone to sit down.To Wang Ruohai: "Wang Counselor, please introduce the current situation."

Wang Ruohai said yes.Walking to the front of the map, he said: "At the same time as the great victory in Shanzhou, Shao Ling had a great victory in Hucheng. Zheng Jianchong saw that Ba Lisu was besieged in Shanzhou, and Shao Ling quickly sent troops to occupy Lingbao. After all, he did not dare to send troops from Hucheng to attack Lingbao. Respond to the speed of departure. After the overall situation in Shanzhou was settled, Shao Ling came out of Lingbao and took the initiative to attack Hucheng. This battle wiped out more than [-] people under Zheng Jianchong's subordinates, and Zheng Jianchong led the rest to escape. Presumably he was going back to Yan'an Mansion. Qiu just arrived at Longmen, and when he got the news from Shanzhou, he immediately turned around and returned north. In addition, Zhongmu completely wiped out Liu Lin's troops, and Jiang Min's victory in Hedong, we won all three battlefields in this battle."

After hearing this, Niu Gao said to Shao Ling: "This is a great victory, let's see if the Jin people dare to be as domineering as before!"

Shao Ling said with a smile: "If the Jinren are not convinced, send someone to try again!"

Everyone laughed together.

Wang Xiaolie said: "I think the most important thing about this battle is that we have a clear understanding of ourselves. Before, we only knew about Jin Junqiang, but no one can tell how strong he is. This time in Shanzhou, we directly Fight against the Jin army and wipe out Balisu in one battle. This shows that although the Jin army is strong, it is not as strong as us. Now I am confident that the Jin army will not be able to take Luoyang back even if it gathers all-powerful soldiers. Zhang Chi occupied Pinglu County should be the most clear about fighting directly with the Jin army. In a few days, let Zhang Chi return to Luoyang and summarize the situation of this battle in detail."

Wang Ruohai said: "Okay. The commander-in-chief means to use the next few months to review this battle. Don't miss any generals who can participate. A group of soldiers who participated in the battle must also participate. Try to describe the process of the war. Combined with our army's pre-war plan and the changes in the plan during the war, we must understand why we made such changes. Where did we go wrong, where are we right, what is our experience, and what are our lessons? Yes, not only generals and soldiers who participated in the war, but also military academies. After replaying, write these into textbooks and teach them to future generals.”

Li Yanxian said: "Now the whole army is celebrating, this matter can start in a few days."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Let's celebrate ten days. After ten days, our headquarters will start reviewing the war plan, and each army will review the war internally. It will take a month to figure out these things, and after a month, the counselor Wang will conclude Get up, review the whole army. We are not professional soldiers, and we can only learn wars from wars. Before starting a war, we must carefully plan the war in detail, and after the war is over, we will carefully review it. If we continue to do it steadily, we will become more and more familiar with war. I am getting better at war. In this world, things are most afraid of being serious. As long as you are serious, there will be nothing difficult."

Niu Gao said: "I have learned a lot after fighting in the past few years. It's just that watching the war now is very different from before. Looking at it now, I feel like a child. I think it's not just me, many So does the general."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Yes, as long as we are good at summarizing and learning, we will learn more and more things. What is war? Simply put, war is not just fighting, but also includes more things. In most cases Now, war is the continuation of politics. But this sentence is for mature political bodies on both sides, and it may not always adapt. For example, what political demands did the Kingdom of Jin have when the war started? It was nothing more than It’s all about stealing money. They don’t even want land. Kaifeng was conquered, and Zhang Bangchang was established as a puppet Chu. Zhang Bangchang couldn’t do it, and a puppet Qi Liu Yu was established the year before last. They felt that the territory in the Central Plains could not be occupied, so they set up an obedient one. The son of the emperor, take care of yourself. But after the first battle in Shanzhou, the world knew that we could defeat the Jin army, and this war will be different. In the future, there will be more and more political battles, and more and more battles on the battlefield. few."

Li Yanxian was taken aback: "What does Marshal Jie mean? There aren't so many battles? Then our army doesn't have to work so hard."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "There won't be so many battles, but that doesn't mean the army won't work hard. What kind of army do we want to build? We haven't had a clear answer to this question until now. Even if we can defeat Jin now The army is already in the army, but it is still unclear. What does this mean? It means that the Jin army we are facing is also an immature army. Figure it out."

"There may be fewer opportunities to fight on the battlefield, but you must not slack off in training and learning! It's still the same sentence. If you don't know something, find a way to figure it out. If you don't have anyone to teach you, you can learn by yourself. Not only learn war from war, but also learn from war. Learn warfare from training, and learn warfare from daily life. As long as we keep going step by step, one day, we will be a powerful army in the world!"

Wang Ruohai said with a smile: "We have finally achieved a rare victory, and Jie Shuai still thinks so much. Let's talk about these issues when we have a chance. Now we have to celebrate the great victory, so we can't spoil everyone's happiness."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes, yes, we can't spoil everyone's happiness. How to celebrate, Li Dutong, Wang Shenyi and Chen Shenyi discussed together, don't ask me. The soldiers have worked hard for several months, and they should relax fan."

After chatting for a while, Wang Ruohai said: "Let me talk about the next deployment. Cao Zhiyan's troops went north from Zhengzhou and occupied Huaizhou, Weizhou and Zezhou. Cao Zhiyan is stationed in Zezhou, and he must pay close attention to Longde Mansion, Xiangzhou and Anli. The enemy situation of the army threatened Liu Yu of Daming Prefecture. Shaoxing’s left army went north to lead Hezhong Prefecture, Jiezhou, and Jiangzhou. Shaoxing was stationed in Jiangzhou and paid close attention to the military situation of Jinzhou and Taiyuan Prefecture. The defense of Shangzhou was handed over to Li Xing's rear army is in charge."

Li Yanxian thought for a while, then said: "Jieshuai intends to focus on Hedong Road and ignore Shaanxi Road?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "That's right. Our strategic goal is on Hedong Road. Don't waste too much energy in Shaanxi. To be honest, we occupied Luoyang and firmly established our foothold, which is equivalent to copying the back route of the Shaanxi Jin Army." If we cooperate with the defenders in Sichuan and Sichuan, it is not impossible to completely wipe out the Jin army on Shaanxi Road. But when it comes to cooperation, it is really not easy. Zhang Shumi proclaimed that Sichuan and Shaanxi should be done cheaply, and we must obey orders when we enter Shaanxi. Alas, our army has its own characteristics, and it really can't cooperate with other armies. If we obey the order of Privy Councilor Zhang and suffer another defeat in Fuping, who can bear it?"

Wang Xiaolie said this sentence very bluntly, and everyone didn't speak after hearing it.

There is no need to doubt Zhang Jun's determination to fight against gold, but he also has the problem of self-willedness, ambition and lack of talent.Wang Xiaolie didn't dare to use his army to bet that Zhang Jun would not treat him like this. Once he lost the bet, the consequences would be unpredictable.It is better to simply abandon Shaanxi and directly fight the Jin army in Hedong.

Wang Xiaolie also didn't believe that after the defeat of Shanzhou, the Jin army dared to gather heavy troops in Guanzhong.Wang Xiaolie occupied Luoyang and won a big victory in Shanzhou. Guanzhong became a weak point against the Jin people.It's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to discard it.
