Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 638

Lin Shengyuan and Wang Qingxiu were overjoyed when Wang Xiaolie agreed to marry Lin Xi.Busy, start the various procedures of marriage, choose the day.It's just that no one asked if Lin Xi was willing.That's right, what right does Lin Xi have to be unwilling?

The Dragon Boat Festival was about to be celebrated, and Liu Ziyu came back from Shou'an County.

It turned out that the news that Wushu had started to retreat from Shaanxi reached Zhang Jun's ears, and it was impossible to attack from east to west, so he ordered Liu Ziyu to return to Fengzhou as soon as possible.

After entering Luoyang City, Liu Ziyu went to the Henan government office to meet Wang Xiaolie.

After drinking tea, Liu Ziyu said: "During these days in Shou'an, I met Jieshuai's military academy, and then I realized that Jieshuai's army is very different from other armies. After I return to Fengzhou, I will report to the Privy Council that I can You should learn something."

Wang Xiaolie said: "My army no longer pays attention to individuals, but to the organization of the army. The so-called famous generals are those who have repeatedly made military exploits in the war, and use facts to explain their achievements. Which other army will pay attention to these now? It’s rare for the councilor not to think that I’m doing this despicably.”

Liu Ziyu thought in his heart, if you hadn't won consecutive battles and proved that the Jin army was no match, I'm afraid I wouldn't have liked this method.How to use soldiers to train soldiers, the works of the predecessors are overwhelming, but you have to be different from others, which one will you like?

Gossip for a while.Wang Xiaolie said: "There are roughly two types of people doing things in this world. One is unorganized and the other is organized. In most cases, organized is better than unorganized. The army is highly organized. If you want to have combat effectiveness, you must find a way from the perspective of organization. Just to strengthen the organizational ability of the army, you must study and work in a down-to-earth manner. It is useless to talk big. However, there are many people who like to talk big. If you let them They can know everything from the opening of the sky to the opening of the earth, from the sun to the moon. But if they are asked to do things, they will be in a hurry and can't do anything. What we need now are people who do things in a down-to-earth manner, not A bombast."

Liu Ziyu cupped his hands: "Thank you, Marshal Jie, I know that."

Wang Xiaolie didn't know how much Liu Ziyu understood, and he couldn't say much, so he prepared a banquet to see him off.

Human history has been disturbed and chaotic, but in fact there are traces to follow.Our understanding of a matter is always from superficial to profound, from only knowing its superficiality to understanding its essence, step by step.Things in human society always change from unorganized to organized, from simple to complex, and then to complex until the organizational strength begins to decrease, the entire structure collapses, and then starts from scratch.

The military is highly organized, and combat effectiveness is highly related to organizational capabilities.From the fact that one Han was the Five Hu in the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, they were not able to defeat the Xixia, the Khitan, the Jin Dynasty, and the later Mongolia. This can explain one thing.That is, the organizational ability of the Han army is decreasing, while that of the surrounding ethnic groups is increasing.

Looking for other reasons, such as the fact that the Han people were afraid of death and could not fight, the low status of soldiers who respected culture and martial arts, and the lack of horses in the army, all these were not the most fundamental reasons.The most fundamental reason is to start with the positioning and organization of the military and analyze the decline in the organizational capabilities of the military.

Since Wang Xiaolie paid attention to the organizational construction of the army, his army has undergone earth-shaking changes.This change was reflected in the combat power, which far exceeded Wang Xiaolie's own estimation, and even exceeded the estimation of other people.

After sending Liu Ziyu away, Wang Xiaolie received the imperial edict.Due to the retreat of Wushu to the north, Wang Xiaolie agreed to reorganize Wang Yan's army.

Putting down the imperial edict, Wang Xiaohun had mixed feelings.Thinking back when I was in Kaifeng Mansion, I didn't know anything about military affairs, thanks to Wang Yan's help.Unexpectedly, a few years later, Wang Yan would become his subordinate.Moreover, Wang Yan only has 3000 people, and it is not considered an important force to be incorporated into Wang Xiaolie's army.

On the sixth day of May, Wang Yan arrived in Luoyang.

Wang Xiaolie went out of the city to welcome Wang Yan into the city.

When he arrived at the government office, Wang Xiaolie set up a banquet and invited some old people to welcome Wang Yan.

Everyone took their seats, Wang Xiaolie said: "Zhenfu came to Luoyang this time, we are working together. I hope to work together to make a career!"

Wang Yan smiled wryly: "Jieshuai, I am not a town governor anymore when I arrived in Luoyang. Recently, I got an edict that Jieshuai will be the Xuanfu envoy for Beijing Southwest, North Road, and Hedong South Road, and there will no longer be a town governor under his rule. , Fang Sanzhou was originally under the jurisdiction of Jingxi Road, and it has been abolished."

Li Yanxian has not returned yet, but Wang Xiaolie, the edict of his promotion, already knows.

The power of the Xuanfu disposition envoy is slightly heavier than that of the Xuanfu envoy, and he can dismiss subordinate officials cheaply, and is a real commander in chief.The most important thing for Wang Xiaolie is that this position is the same as that of Zhang Jun who founded the mansion in Qinzhou, so he no longer has to worry about him controlling his own army.

Wang Yan's appeasement envoy was withdrawn, so he had two options.One is to return to Zhang Jun's subordinates, and the other is to come to Wang Xiaolie.After the Battle of Fuping, the relationship between Wang Yan and Zhang Jun was not happy. After thinking twice, he still came to Luoyang.

Seeing that Wang Yan was depressed, Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "After you come to Luoyang, you will be the staff officer of the Counselor and Disposal Envoy. Like Chen Qiudao, Chen Yuyi, and Wang Ruohai, you will help me with the military. I have established a command headquarters, and there has been a lack of a secretary in charge. Zi is willing, so how about serving as a secretary in the headquarters?"

Wang Yandao: "I'm in Jinzhou, and I still know a little about the affairs of Jieshuai's army. I'm not familiar with many rules in the army. I'm afraid I can't do it well."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "There is no one who is born knowing it. If you do it for a long time, you will know everything."

Wang Yan thought about it and nodded: "Everything is arranged by Jie Shuai."

He remembered that when he was in Kaifeng Mansion, Wang Xiaolie had hundreds of people under his command, who didn't understand anything, only relying on their enthusiasm.I hit it off with him and had a lot of contacts, which helped Wang Xiaohun a lot.Unexpectedly, a few years later, Wang Xiaolie had more than [-] soldiers and occupied [-] prefectures.And at that time, I had the "Bazi Army" under my command, with a strong force, no one dared to underestimate it.As a result, after going south for several years, the "Eight Character Army" has lost its size, and no one pays attention to it.

The vicissitudes of the world really made Wang Yan feel a lot.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Jin, Jun, and Fang are in front of Shang and Guo prefectures, so there is no need to garrison large troops. Only now do you know that my army, no matter where it comes from, must be retrained. Your three thousand soldiers Ma, go to the newly established new barracks in Yanshi for retraining. By the way, some officers will be selected from it to study in the military academy. The "Eight Character Army" used to frighten the world, and there are many capable people and strange men in it, so don't bury them."

Wang Yandao: "Jie Shuai will arrange it. In front of an army of more than [-], what is three thousand soldiers and horses?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "We are facing a common enemy, and we must share the same hatred! Don't stick to this is my soldier, that is your soldier, we are all the army of the imperial court! Only by letting go of prejudices and fighting the enemy with one heart can we succeed. Get the final victory!"
