Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Wang Ruohai walked into the official hall and saw Wang Xiaolie studying the map of East Road.After a moment of silence, he said, "Yue Guan has already been sent away by Li Dutong. I heard that because the money from the rear is not known when it will be delivered, Wang De has a lot of opinions."

Wang Xiaolie straightened up and said: "This Liu Guangshi refuses to use his own money to buy guns, and the imperial court refuses to allocate them to him. It's troublesome. Don't let the imperial court force us to give him credit at the end. Han Shi Has Zhonghe Zhang Jun’s money come?”

Wang Ruohai shook his head: "No. But I heard that they are already on their way. Besides, unlike Yue Guan, these two people have the full amount of money."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The imperial court has to deal with Zhang Jun first, and then it will draw money for Yue Fei. Just wait. We don't want to accept hundreds of thousands of guns at once, even the imperial court has to raise funds for a while. Cannons are still cast in the field to ensure that they are used in our army.”

Wang Ruohai nodded.After a while, he said: "I heard that the imperial court appointed Li as a defense envoy recently and asked him to lead the army. It's just that the ministers in the court objected, so he was only given a false title. After a while, I think he will still lead the army."

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while, and then said: "The soldiers of the imperial court are still the same as before. It should not be a day or two since the officials want to use Li Cheng. It's just that Li Cheng was too useless when he was in Zhongmou, so he waited until now. Let them go, don't worry about it."

One of the signs of military modernization is that the combat power has changed from generals to soldiers.Well-trained soldiers, together with a professional staff team, constitute the majority of an army's combat effectiveness.The role of generals is to make war decisions, not to train soldiers.

Without retraining and training, no matter how good the captured generals are, Wang Xiaolie doesn't need them.What's more, for a person like Li Cheng, who has obvious shortcomings and advantages, Wang Xiaolie is even more useless.Zhao Gou's military thinking is typical of generals in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, so leave him alone.

Wang Ruohai said: "I heard that the emperor wanted to appoint Li Cheng as a military envoy at first, but the ministers objected, so he was appointed as a defensive envoy. Doing so will chill the hearts of the soldiers. I heard that the few generals who came to Luoyang recently, except for Tian Shi Others, both Chinese and foreign, are extremely dissatisfied."

Wang Xiaolie smiled and shook his head: "This man Tian Shizhong is brave in battle, and he is capable of leading troops, but he is not very good among the generals. He has one advantage, that is, he is shameless, and few people can do it." It's time. Zhang Jun's son died early, and Tian Shizhong married Zhang Jun's daughter-in-law. Since then, he has always addressed Zhang Jun as father. That's what Tian Shizhong called, and Zhang Jun agreed. They are also a couple. It's a treasure."

Wang Ruohai said: "Is there any way? Fighting the enemy in the north is a difficult problem after all."

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "Yeah, I'm also worried about this. What I'm most worried about is that I planted dragon seeds and harvested fleas. Not only do we not know, at this time, I'm afraid that Jiang Mei also has no idea. Ah. After October, I want to go to Hedong again. I have to see it with my own eyes, so I can rest assured."

Wang Ruohai looked at the map for a while.He said: "There is no other way to attack Hedong. It is nothing more than attacking Taiyuan from the two directions of Longde Mansion and Jinzhou. The two sides will fight at the foot of Taiyuan City. Taking Taiyuan, Xinzhou and Daizhou will not be so difficult."

Wang Xiaolie said: "There is no big battle, and there will be many small battles. Fuzhou's compromises must be resolved as soon as possible. If Jiang Min wants to go north from Shizhou, he can't be cheated. It's a war. And, there should be a saying this year."

Wang Xiaolie looked at Wang Ruohai, and said earnestly: "Advisor, you must not think so. For a person like Zhang Jun, it would be difficult for someone like Zhang Jun to be the commander of his central army. He used Tian Shizhong not just because Tian Shizhong is good at flattery because Tian Shizhong can fight. The combination of these two talents is Tian Shizhong's housekeeping skill. Don't underestimate him, he can really have two strengths, no one can compare Passed Tian Shizhong."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "That makes sense. Since ancient times, this is the right way to attack Hedong. However, there are many Jin soldiers and cavalry. Even if we capture Taiyuan, most of the Jin soldiers may escape. Then attack Xinzhou and Daizhou, The more you hit the enemy, the stronger you get, it's always bad."

Wang Ruohai thought for a while.Said: "Xuanfu thinks that the Jin army will not commit crimes in the South this year?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "There is a saying in the art of war, to use the right combination, to win by surprise. I think, when attacking Taiyuan, if the surprise soldiers can be used correctly, it will have a miraculous effect."

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "I don't care about them. The imperial court wants artillery, and after getting it, it must make a big move. Here, if we attack Shaanxi to the west, the Jin soldiers in Shaanxi are too weak. Attacking Liu Yu to the east will turn into a counterattack." The decisive battle of the Jin Dynasty. After all the calculations, it is only appropriate to attack Hedong and seize Taiyuan Mansion. I am studying Hedong Dipo here, come and see."

Wang Ruohai said: "It makes sense. Then there is no war this year, isn't it a bit deserted?"

Wang Ruohai said: "People say that Tian Shizhong should not be in command of Zhang Jun's army. With his ability, how can he do it?"

Wang Ruohai said: "Jiang Min has never fought before, so I don't know if he can accomplish this."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes. I equipped Jiang Min with the best generals and soldiers, and they should play an important role. Shizhou goes north, and there is a road leading behind Taiyuan. If Jiang Min can block Taiyuan during the war The retreat route of the defenders can be caught in the urn. At that time, the Jin army can be gathered and wiped out in Taiyuan Mansion."

Wang Ruohai understood after a little thought.Said: "Xuanfu means Jiang Min's army?"

Wang Ruohai said: "Speaking of Fuzhou, there is really a headache. Zhejia has been operating there for hundreds of years, and it really can't get in. I sent people there several times, but there was no way to get in. Take root there. Zhe Keqiu's attitude is unpredictable."

Wang Ruohai said: "What Xuanfu said is true. Really, no one can compare with Tian Shizhong for these two strengths."

Wang Xiaolie said: "What are the criminals in the south? They just robbed the artillery, and it will take a year or two to cast it, and use it proficiently. As for us, a new army is newly formed, and the combat effectiveness is always worrying. It will always take a year or two to let them get used to it."

Wang Xiaolie sat down and thought for a while without speaking.Said: "During the Jingkang period, it was a fight against the gold to be able to find the bottom line. In the end, there was no way to vote for the gold man. But after the gold investment, he attacked Shanzhou and committed many crimes. Two years ago, he still wanted to fight with Liu Yu. Now that the Jinren have chosen Liu Yu, his attitude is really hard to fathom. I think, without pressure, it will be difficult for him to make a choice. Jiang Min has already arrived in Shizhou, and he can find a way to get along with Zhejia made contact."

Wang Ruohai said: "That's the only way to go. If you don't know what to expect, it will be difficult to make a decision."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Fuzhou has a special status. It is between the Song Dynasty and Xixia, and on the west bank of the Yellow River. Its strategic position is important. As a party member, Zhejia is the tip of the spear against Xixia. However, Zhejia is in Fuzhou. The state has been in the state for hundreds of years, and the consideration of the problem may be different from that of us outsiders. This matter, in the final analysis, we still have to talk to the people of the Zhe family. Ori Yanzhi was originally a suitable candidate, but the artillery was lost in Huangzhou."

Wang Ruohai said: "I heard that the imperial court is also very angry with Zhe Yanzhi, and has reorganized it. If Xuan Fu is willing, he can be recruited."
