Kingdom of Heaven and Han

After drinking and eating, everyone broke up happily.When they arrived at the government office in the middle of the river, they went back to their bedrooms to rest.

Sitting in the bedroom, Wang Xiaolie couldn't fall asleep.Sitting in front of the window, Dai Yi watched the crescent moon in the sky rise slowly from the east, casting a cold radiance.In this watery moonlight, the stars in the sky seem not so bright.

Today has fallen, but the weather in Hezhong Mansion is not so hot.At night, the cool wind blowing from the Yellow River even makes people feel a little chilly.

Through the window, Wang Xiaolie looked at the flowers, plants and trees in the yard under the moonlight, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Choose the right time to fight a battle with the Shaanxi army. Wang Xiaolie had this idea when he was in Luoyang.In Tongzhou, opposite Hezhong Mansion, the newcomer Zhao Bin is not very obedient, so it is a suitable opportunity.

When the Jin army entered Shaanxi during the Jianyan period, the Song army did not resist fiercely, and many generals surrendered.Many of these generals who surrendered were at both ends.Although he looked down on the Song Dynasty, he was not firm in Jiangjin, and was always watching the wind.

Wang Xiaolie's cut and speed in Shanzhou caused a huge shock to these surrendered generals.If they had never seen the hope of the Song army defeating the Jin army before, it would be different after the victory in Shanzhou.These people finally understood that the Song Dynasty had the strength to defeat the Jin army.

If Wang Xiao went west to Shaanxi, what should he do?Many generals have begun to think about this issue.

Zhang Zhongfu is an example.

The Zhang family is a stable and prominent family, and later lived in Zhangyibao in vain.His father, Zhang Kui, once led troops to rescue Taiyuan and died in the front line.Zhang Zhongfu led more than a dozen people and found his father's body among the dead.Later, together with his younger brother Zhang Zhongyan, he served as the ruler under Qu Duan.Later, when Zhang Qun went to Shaanxi, he dismissed Qu Duan with Liu Kai as the envoy of Jingyuan Road and Weizhou.After Fuping was defeated, the two brothers guarded Weizhou together with Zhao Bin, and surrendered to the Jin Dynasty together.

Speaking of personal enmity, Zhang Zhongfu's father died against the gold.Speaking of national hatred, the Jin army attacked Shaanxi, and the lives were devastated.From all aspects, the Zhang Zhongfu brothers should not surrender gold.However, when the Jin army attacked, they surrendered.Moreover, the descending Jin army actively cooperated with the Jin army to attack the city and seize the territory.

When Wang Xiao hunted for a big victory in Shanzhou and Wushu retreated, he transferred Zhang Zhongfu from Qinfeng Road to station in Jingzhao Mansion.

After Zhang Zhongfu arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, he didn't make any big moves or recruit troops.Even Huazhou, west of Tongguan, did not deploy heavy troops, as if they knew that Wang Xiaolie would not come west.Zhang Zhongfu even waived some taxes for the common people.

Wang Xiaolie carefully considered Zhang Zhongfu's intentions.After much deliberation, I can only think that he is on the sidelines of both sides, and he is waiting and watching the situation in Song and Jin Dynasties.

At this time, Zhao Bin openly showed in Tongzhou that he wanted to fight to the end with Wang Xiao and was resolute and uncompromising, which was intriguing.In particular, as Zhang Zhongfu's subordinate, Zhao Bin did this, but Zhang Zhongfu did not stop him.

What are they up to?Wang Xiaolie didn't need to guess, he knew it was testing him.Then expressing your attitude is what you should mean.

Looking up at the moon in the sky, Wang Xiaolie sighed helplessly.Such a situation forced him to fight Tongzhou.And you have to play beautifully, cleanly and without sloppiness at all.Let Zhao Bin be an example for other surrendered generals to see. …

This battle is won, and I don't need to spend too much energy in Shaanxi in the future.

After breakfast the next day, Wang Xiaolie was in the official hall and summoned Wang Ruohai, Wang Yan, Shao Xing, Li Lian, the governor of Qian, and Wei Ren, the staff officer, to discuss matters.

Everyone sat down, and Wang Xiaolie said: "Yesterday in the Guanque Tower, Shao Dutong talked about Zhao Bin, the new guard from Tongzhou, who seemed a little restless. At that time, he decided to fight Tongzhou and asked Zhao Bin to give the other The surrendered general from Shaanxi is an example. I thought about it last night, and this battle should be fought. Today I call you here to discuss how to fight Tongzhou."

Shao Xing rubbed his hands and said, "As soon as Zhao Bin came, I didn't like him! Xuanfu decided to fight. I think it's better to cross the Yellow River sooner rather than later."

Qian Jurisdiction Li Lian went to Yuxiang County yesterday to deal with urgent affairs in the army, and returned early this morning.Hearing Shao Xing's words, he said: "Xuan Fu said that he wanted to attack Tongzhou. I think it is very correct. Originally we occupied Hezhong Mansion, but the defenders of Tongzhou were not doing well, and the Yellow River Ferry was maintained normally. Zhao Bin is here Afterwards, they forcibly took over the people’s ferry boats, and people panicked for a while. If this continues, the other party will not be good. We are not planning to fight a big battle in places like Hezhong Mansion, and the place should be as stable as possible. If Zhao Bin is allowed to stay in Tongzhou for a long time, Who will know what he has done?"

Wang Ruohai said: "How many ferries can be collected on the Yellow River now?"

Shao Xing said: "We have calculated that there should be more than 20 large ferries and more than 70 small ferries."

Wang Ruohai was taken aback.Said: "There are so many?"

Shao Xingdao: "It's not just the ferry here in Hezhongfu. We have collected all the ferries from several nearby ferries. Even the upstream Hejindu boat has already arrived at Hefu. We are afraid that there will be various accidents when the ferry is in various places. .”

Wang Ruohai smiled and said, "This is the best. After the Yellow River leaves Longmen, the current is gentle. There are many ferries and boats in this area."

Wang Xiaolie said: "There are so many ferries, have you ever calculated how many people can be ferried at one time? How long does it take to go back and forth?"

Shao Xingdao: "The big ferry boat can carry 70 to 30 people at a time, and the small ferry boat can carry 500 to [-] people at a time. If all the boats are used, they can ferry [-] people at one time. An hour and a half."

"Cross so many people at once?" Wang Xiaolie was surprised. "If you cross the river at night, how many times can you cross it?"

Shao Xing said: "Xuanfu, how can anyone cross the river at night. I haven't asked about this."

Wang Xiaolie said: "We are going to attack Tongzhou with the force of thunder, and it is necessary to cross the river at night. If we can cross 5000 people in one night, we can go to Tongzhou city soon after starting tomorrow. If we fight neatly, we can still enter the city." Let's have dinner in the city of Tongzhou!"

Shao Xing was stunned when he heard this.After a while, he said: "Crossing the Yellow River, there are still fifty miles to Tongzhou. Is it necessary to march so quickly?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "How can it not be done? If Chou Shi crossed the Yellow River and set off, it happened to be outside the city of Tongzhou at dawn. If you bombard the city wall of Tongzhou, can your army still not be able to enter the city? I don't believe it. Out of 5000 people, there are less than 3000 people who can't defeat Zhao Bin!"

Shao Xing hurriedly said: "Xuanfu, I didn't mean that! Let alone 5000 people, my 2000 people are enough to defeat Zhao Bin!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "That's the best! In this battle, what we want is clean, neat and unexpected! To be honest, I also want to see the fighting will of these generals from Shaanxi. In two days, you will collect the information Find out. Also, we need to send people into the city of Tongzhou to see what's going on there."
