Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 663
In Jingzhao Mansion, Zhang Zhongfu heard about Sun Wei's journey to Tongzhou.Nodding his head, he said, "Understood. The staff have worked hard, let's go down."

Sun Wei didn't know what Zhang Zhongfu thought, so he left.

After seeing off Sun Wei, Zhang Zhongfu stood up, walked to the window, and looked out of the window in a daze.

The apricots in the yard are already ripe, and the big emerald green trees are decorated with yellow dots one by one, which is really gratifying.The lotus in the pool next to it is in full bloom, and a few dragonflies are flying in it.On the big willow tree at the door, the cicadas kept singing.It seems to be in a hurry to tell the world that the hottest time of the year is coming.

After watching for a long time, Zhang Zhongfu couldn't help but sighed.

How could Zhang Zhongfu be angry if Wang Xiaolie didn't take himself seriously?What's the use of being angry?The fact is that he is not as strong as others.

Zhang Zhongfu has carefully understood the two wars in Shanzhou and Tongzhou.With a clear understanding, I can only draw one conclusion, that my [-] troops are vulnerable to Wang Xiaolie's troops.The most ideal ending is only a little better than Zheng Jianchong.

What's the use of being stronger?In fact, in the battle of Hucheng, Zheng Jianchong was completely defeated by Shao Ling within an hour.If it weren't for Shao Ling's lack of cavalry, even Zheng Jianchong wouldn't be able to escape.This battle was won so easily that Wang Xiao's hunting army seldom mentioned it.

Zhang Zhongfu was born in the general family, and he knew from a young age that the value of a general lies in how many soldiers he has.But this point is useless here for Wang Xiaolie.Even if Wang Xiaolie used other generals' soldiers, they were all scattered and retrained in the new barracks. The generals were completely useless.

It is completely useless to be here with Wang Xiaolie.Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongfu couldn't help but smile wryly.

It's completely useless, how can you negotiate terms with Wang Xiaolie?In fact, Wang Xiaolie didn't want to talk about it at all.

His father, Zhang Kui, died at the hands of the Jin army. Zhang Zhongfu spared no effort to find the body among the dead.If given the chance, do you want to avenge your father?Of course Zhang Zhongfu wanted to.But with nostalgia for life and reluctance to give up wealth, he finally surrendered to the Jin army.

He is a general and has no value, what will Wang Xiaolie think?Zhang Zhongfu looked up at the scenery outside the window, and was in a state of confusion for a moment.

From the morning on the seventh day of May, the weather has been unbearably hot.After lunch, Wang Xiaolie went to the sycamore tree in Houya to study in the air.

In the afternoon, Wang Ruohai came to the Hou Yamen and asked Wang Xiaolie to salute.

Wang Xiaolie ordered Cui Qing to bring in a top chair and asked Wang Ruohai to sit down and talk.

After a few words of greeting, Wang Ruohai said, "I'm leaving Tongzhou tomorrow. In such hot weather, we should go early."

Wang Xiaolie said: "We set off in the morning, and arrived at Chaoyi early at noon to rest. We set off later in the afternoon and crossed the river in the evening."

Wang Ruohai said: "In this weather, if you walk fifty or sixty miles a day, you will inevitably suffer hardships on the road. It is the hottest time, and I am going to Jiangzhou next. I am afraid that you will not be able to walk so fast on the road. If you go from Jiezhou , Xuan Fu still going to Longmen? It is a wonderful place in the world, it would be a pity not to go there."

Wang Xiaolie said: "I've seen the Dragon Gate in Luoyang, but I'll see you in the future at the Dragon Gate in the Yellow River. He Mansion has been delayed for a while, so we have to go faster on the road. It's best to return to Luoyang before autumn."

Wang Ruohai nodded: "Xuanfu said yes. When the autumn wind blows, the Jin army may go south."

Wang Xiaolie took a sip of the mung bean soup on the side.Asked: "I heard that Zheng Jianchong's people are here too? What did you say?"

Wang Ruohai said: "It's almost the same as Zhang Zhongfu. But Zheng Jianchong has fought against us, and he is even more obedient than Zhang Zhongfu's people. I heard that as long as there is no trouble, it is considered a meritorious service if he is good to the people under his rule. The people he sent are also very grateful Thanks."

Wang Xiaolie said: "This is the best. Shaanxi Fifth Road, which connects us, is Yanyan Road and Yongxing Army Road. Zhang Zhongfu and Zheng Jian are full of knowledge and save us a lot of trouble. Ba Lisuo is dead, Sasa Li Drink doesn’t dare to come to the east of Shaanxi, it’s the best. We concentrate our forces on the East Road, and fight with the Jin army. As long as the East Road is taken, Shaanxi is also in the bag.”

Wang Ruohai said: "Sa Li is in Jingyuan and Xihe Road, if we occupy Hedong, he will have no way out."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The Jin Army doesn't think that we can take Hedong quickly, so why would we give up Shaanxi? If we don't give up Shaanxi, we can only arrange it like this. In fact, to put it bluntly, the Jin Army still looks down on Zhang Shumi. Leave it alone to drink There are less than [-] people, and I feel that Zhang Shumi can't do anything to him."

Wang Ruohai said: "Xuanfu thinks, if Zhang Shumi attacks with all his might, can he defeat Salihe?"

Wang Xiaolie smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "It's better to go through the battle of Fuping, Zhang Shumi's mind will be clearer, and stop doing desperate things. If not, the Jin army seized the opportunity, and the remaining [-] to [-] troops Let's get in too. In addition to the nearly [-] Jin army under the command of Sa Lihe, there are also Zhang Zhongyan, Murong Wei, Li Yanqi and other generals who have tens of thousands of soldiers, and their strength is not less than that of the Song army. Maybe the Jin people will even try to destroy Zhang Shumi Headquarters, the plan to come back to the East to fight with us."

Wang Ruohai could only shake his head.Said: "Private Zhang, although he doesn't understand soldiers, he is good at commanding battles. It is not the blessing of the imperial court."

Wang Xiaolie said: "This is the problem of literati. I feel that I have read a few military books, and I know everything about astronomy and geography. I can plan strategies and win thousands of miles away. How can wars be fought like this? So generals look down on literati. The literati also look down on military generals, and hate each other."

Wang Ruohai said: "Xuan Fu thinks that a literati is handsome, is it feasible?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "What's not feasible? As long as he knows how to fight, he doesn't care whether he is a literati or military general! The most important thing is to know how to fight, not to let someone who doesn't understand war be the commander. There are rules to follow in war. Well, there are literati who don’t understand the laws of war, as well as military generals. In this dynasty, the generals are commanded by military generals, so is it good to fight well? It’s not important whether it’s literary or military, what’s important is the ability to be commander-in-chief.”

Wang Ruohai nodded: "I see!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Things in the world are very simple. To appoint a person as commander-in-chief depends on whether he has the ability to be a commander-in-chief. Why do you care if he is a literati and military general? But most of the time, people always don't pay attention to the most basic issues. But entangled in the minutiae. The basic issues, although basic, are not simple. Those who avoid the basic issues and don’t talk about them, mostly just don’t have the ability to figure out the basic issues.”

After hearing this, Wang Ruohai nodded secretly, lowered his head in thought.

Yes, things in the world are originally very simple, but they are made too complicated, and the basic problems are ignored instead.What does it matter whether it is literature or martial arts?The most important thing is that they have the ability to be handsome.In history, when Wan Yanliang invaded the Song Dynasty, Liu Kai, who was a famous general, retreated steadily, but the scholar Yu Yunwen tried his best to turn the tide. Does it mean that literati are better than military generals?During this period, the literati Zhang Jun ruined the good situation in Shaanxi, but the military general Han Shizhong blocked Wushu in Huangtiandang, which means that the military generals are more reliable than the literati?In fact, nothing is explained.It just means that when Wan Yanliang invaded the south, Yu Yunwen was more suitable than Liu Qi to be handsome.In this era, Han Shizhong is more suitable than Zhang Jun to be handsome.

The same is true for people of later generations who do not study war, do not familiarize themselves with the laws of war, but engage in civil and military disputes.The explanation is that the researchers don't understand war at all, and they have to force themselves to act like they understand war, that's all.
