Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Departing from Ruicheng, passing through Yongle Town and Gaihe Town, the three of Wang Xiaolie arrived at Hezhong Mansion.

This road passes through the big bend of the Yellow River. The river is gentle and there are many ferries. It is a traditional strategic location.For example, Fenglingdu and Pubanjin are the main roads connecting Hedong and Shaanxi.However, since the pontoon bridge was built in Urabanjin, the center of this area has become Hezhongfu.

Wang Xiaolie occupied Hezhong Mansion for a short time, and there was no magistrate, and Shao Xing, who was in command of the left army, served concurrently.

Hearing that Wang Xiaolie and others were coming, Shao Xing led a group of officials to wait outside the city early.It wasn't until noon that Wang Xiaolie and others appeared in the field of vision.

Bringing a group of officials to salute, Shao Xing picked up Wang Xiao and went into Hezhong Fucheng.After a short rest in the government office, he held a banquet in the Guanque Tower to welcome the wind.

On the third floor, Wang Xiaolie stood next to the railing, watching the Yellow River not far away slowly flowing by, and the surrounding scenery had a panoramic view.To Wang Ruohai who was beside him, he said: "If you want to see a thousand miles away, you have to go up to one floor. This Stork Tower is famous for thousands of years because of Wang Zhihuan's poem. Some people even think that it is one of the four famous buildings in the world. "

Wang Ruohai just said yes, a little dazed.

In the Song Dynasty, the reputation of the Guanque Tower was not obvious, far from being as famous as in later generations. "Three Hundred Poems of the Tang Dynasty" has not yet been compiled, and "Climbing the Guanque Tower" is far from being a poem that everyone in the future will recite.What are the four famous buildings? There is no such thing in this era.Wang Ruohai didn't know where to pick up Wang Xiaolie's words.It's just that Wang Xiaolie's status is high enough now that no one will question him.

Of course Wang Ruohai knew about "Climbing the Stork Tower", but the four famous buildings in the world were really unheard of.

After looking at the scenery for a while, Wang Xiaolie and others sat down.

Shao Xingdao: "Xuan Fu came, all the officers and men of the Hezhong Mansion were delighted! This year in Xijing, the Jin people suffered setbacks, and the situation in Shaanxi is completely different."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Wushu has withdrawn to the north, and the enemies in Shaanxi now have less than [-] people except Scattered, and they are the soldiers of the Puppet Qi. The Hezhong Mansion is an important place, and it is the gateway of the Qin and Jin Dynasties, so we must not be careless."

Shao Xing said yes.

Wang Xiaolie said: "The pontoon bridge on the Yellow River has been burned down, but when I looked out just now, there is still a ferry boat on the river. Who is guarding Tongzhou now?"

Shao Xingdao: "Before Wu Shu withdrew, Zhang Zhongfu was appointed as the appeasement envoy of the Yongxing Army's route, and he also knew the Jingzhao Mansion. The one who knew the Tongzhou was his general Zhao Bin."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "Zhao Bin was originally a scholar, he was a disciple of Qu Duan, and now he has become a general. These puppet troops in Shaanxi used to rely on the power of the Jin people, so it was not easy to deal with them. Now Sa Li is in Jingyuan Road, there are almost no golden men on Yongxing Army Road, so it is not so difficult to deal with."

Shao Xingdao: "This Zhao Bin is different from others, he is cunning, and after he voted for the Jin people, he especially hated us Song people. After coming to Tongzhou, most of the people along the river were relocated, and they were signed as soldiers. This month, there will be no peace. "

Wang Xiaolie could not help but frown upon hearing this.He said: "When Zhang Zhongfu came to Jingzhao Mansion, he acted submissively and did not act against us. Why is this Zhao Bin so ignorant? How many years can Jinren stay in Shaanxi? Doesn't he think about his future?"

Shao Xing said: "Perhaps he thought that we won in Shanzhou by luck?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded.After thinking for a while, he said, "If that's the case, let's shoot the first bird and deal with him! Most of the puppet generals on Shaanxi Road are at the top of the list, watching the situation. Since this Zhao Bin is determined to follow If the court opposes him, then he will not be tolerated! After Zhao Bin is dealt with, the others will be much more honest.”…

Shao Xing's eyes lit up: "Xuan Fu means that I want me to cross the river and attack Tongzhou?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "How many soldiers and horses does Zhao Bin have in Tongzhou?"

Shao Xing said: "According to the report of the spies, there should be more than 2000 people. However, Tongzhou is not far from Yanzhou and Jingzhao Mansion. I'm afraid they will send troops to help."

Wang Xiaolie said: "You have tens of thousands of troops in Hezhong Mansion, how many people does Zhang Zhongfu plan to send here? I will stay here for a while, and I will leave after I settle this Zhao Bin! The scope of this battle is east of Luoshui, To the north of the Weishui River, to the south of Liangshan Mountain, take them all!"

Shao Xing couldn't help rubbing his hands when he heard this.Said: "Xuanfu orders, and the humble staff will naturally obey!"

Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Ruohai: "The Jin army guards the eastern part of Shaanxi with the puppet army. If there is no battle, it will be difficult to set the rules. Kill Zhao Bin and set an example for other generals in Shaanxi! Let them know, we Not occupying Shaanxi, it's just that they don't want to, it's not that they can fight!"

Wang Ruohai nodded and said: "Xuanfu is right. The Jin army has been invincible all these years. Even with these surrendered generals, I feel that I am a hero. If you want to fight Tongzhou, then We must be clean and tidy, and let other people see what happens to our opponents!"

Wang Xiaolie nodded.Said: "Well, starting tomorrow, we will set up a headquarters in Hezhong Fuya. Shao Dutong will make up for our lack of manpower, and we will first formulate a battle plan. Well, it's getting late, let's eat."

When Shao Xing heard that Tongzhou was going to be attacked, he was very excited, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to serve wine.

Looking at the Yellow River carp in the middle, Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Ruohai: "This road along the Yellow River, every time there must be a Yellow River carp. No matter how rare it is in the world, I can't bear to eat it every day. But in various places, If you don’t eat this carp, it’s not hospitality.”

Wang Ruohai said: "Is there any way? This is the case everywhere in the world. Fortunately, the carp is really delicious, and it is not comparable to other places."

Wang Yandao: "The carps in the Yellow River are really rare in the world, and there are no other places as good as them. Not far from here, Hejin County was originally named Longmen. Legend has it that carps jumping over the Dragon Gate will turn into dragons. Such a good thing, of course, the owner will use it to entertain guests. "

Wang Xiaolie said: "It makes sense. It's just that I'm getting tired of eating this carp every day."

In the Song Dynasty, fish was considered a vegetable, not a meat dish, and even monks could enjoy it.It is a way for vegetarian monks to supplement their meat diet.

At this time, although the name of Guanque Tower was not as well-known as later generations, it was also a grand sight in Hezhong Mansion.After Wang Xiaolie occupied this place, Qingfeng Xulai, a high-end restaurant owned by Xuanfu Division, came here and wanted to change it into a high-end restaurant.It is currently being renovated and will open soon.

Industries such as restaurants seem to make money, but in fact, in the industries under Xuan Fusi's control, they can't be regarded as bringing in a lot of money.Wang Xiaolie insisted that Xuanfu Division has always had several chain stores, and the main purpose is not to make money, but to use these restaurants to promote local development.

Whether it's high-end, mid-range, or low-end, when you go to a place, you can tell by the name that it is owned by the government, and you know the consumption level and service level.It's like the chain stores of later generations, just establishing a few such brands.
