Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 838
On the ninth day of the first lunar month of the third year of Shaoxing, invited by Wang Xiaolie, several coaches from Shaanxi and Gansu went to Shizhou to discuss the future defense of Shaanxi.

Wang Xiaolie welcomes the people to the state office and takes their seats.

The soldiers served tea.Wang Xiaolie said: "I got a serious illness a few years ago, and it has gotten better in the past few days. It is not suitable to travel far. So I invite you to come to Shizhou to discuss the future defense of Shaanxi. Please forgive me."

Wang Sidao, who succeeded Zhang Jun, said: "The Taiwei was so powerful that he wiped out the Jin army outside Dantouzhai. The situation in Shaanxi has taken on a new look. I can't wait to be happy. How can I blame the Taiwei? Now all the troops have left the Shu Road and entered Shaanxi. The Taiwei has a mission, and he will die!"

Wang Xiaolie hurriedly said: "Everyone is under the supervision of Xuanfu, what is my order? It's just that we set up a good territory and guard the territory."

Today, in addition to Wang Si, the new Sichuan-Shanxi Xuanfu Disposal Envoy, there are also the Lizhou Road System Envoy, who is also in charge of the Division, Wu Jie, the Mian, Wei, Maozhou, and Shiquan Army's border pacification envoy Liu Qi, and the Xihe Road Mabu Army The general manager and the commander Xi Qin army, Ma Guan Shigu.Wang Shi is the coach of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Wu Jie, Liu Qi, and Guan Shigu are the three generals of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Although Wang Si succeeded Zhang Jun, he lost the power to "do things cheaply", and his status was much worse.Liu Ziyu was relegated because of his defeat.

After the chatter, Wu Jie said: "Please tell me how the Taiwei arranges the troops in Shaanxi. Along the way, the few of us made a bet on this, and I will win a host."

Wang Xiaolie looked at the crowd and said, "The Shaanxi matter depends on how Wang Xuanfu arranges it. However, I have an idea here, and I invite you to consider it."

Wang Sidao: "Taiwei, please tell me."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The Yanyan Road shielding Hedong is our flank. It is related to the safety of our army. Our army should defend it. The three prefectures of Hezhong, Jingzhao, Fengxiang and the surrounding states are in the Guanzhong area. They are far away from Xixia. They are also up to us Army defense. Huanqing Road in the north, connected with Xixia, is very important, and Liu Qi is stationed. Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road have a large area, and Wu Jie is stationed. Xihe Road and the west area, Guan Shigu is stationed. You What do you think?"

Wang Sidao: "Although Shaanxi was pacified by the Taiwei, Jingzhao, Fengxiang and other places should be managed by our Sichuan Shaanxi Xuanfu Department."

Wang Xiaolie said: "In such a big place, does Xuanfu have so many soldiers?"

Wang Si couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, and said no more.

Wang Xiaolie said: "West Beijing and Hedong, which I am in charge of, have been ravaged by Jin soldiers for many years, and the population has fled, which is really not enough to support the army to fight. The prefectures in Guanzhong are rich and have a large population, which can supplement military supplies and facilitate the expansion of military resources. If it is handed over, I really can't support it. It's not that I am greedy for the Guanzhong site. Now we have to deal with the Jinren with all our strength. We really need this place. And the Sichuan-Shaanxi Propaganda and Fusi has Sichuan as the backing, so it's not a must. I It's a moderate theory, if there is offense, don't blame Xuan Fu. Of course, how to deploy it is still up to Xuan Fu to decide."

Wang seemed to think about it, and sighed: "Although the Taiwei occupied a lot of territory on Shaanxi Road, it was indeed a helpless move. Now the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Division has only [-] soldiers and horses, and it is really difficult to defend. It is still up to the imperial court to decide, and it is not easy for Xuan Fusi to intervene."

Wang Xiaolie nodded.Said: "Of course it is up to the court to decide. However, I have occupied these places, and I don't want the Sichuan-Shanxi Xuanfu Division to intervene! At least during the war against the Jin people, I need money and food from these places."

Wang Si nodded and said nothing.

Wu Jie clapped his hands: "On the way, I said that the Taiwei will arrange this way, what do you think?"

The others smiled wryly and shook their heads slightly.

Wang Xiaolie said to Liu Qi: "Huanqing Road is currently guarded by our army, so we must hurry up to take over the defense. Zhao Bin repeated his persuasion repeatedly, but he refused to listen, so he has already killed him. Relying on his many tribes, Murong Wei voted for Xixia. Now Yanzhou. There are no enemy troops in the territory, and everything is safe and blocked."

Liu Qi said: "I have less than [-] soldiers. How can I defend such a huge territory on Huanqing Road?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "There are still soldiers and generals in the territory who are willing to serve the Song Dynasty. There are nearly ten thousand people in total, which should be enough."

Liu Qi didn't expect that Wang Xiaolie would keep soldiers for him, so he was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Everyone, in principle, I can deal with the Jin army alone, and you should be able to defend Xixia. With your current strength and the strength of the surrendered generals, you should be able to defend it. To fight against the Jin army, you need a stable rear, so please do it yourself!"

All the generals clasped their hands together: "The Taiwei has brought down Shaanxi, if we can't hold it, how embarrassing it will be!"

Wang seemed to be on the sidelines watching coldly, sighing secretly.

Since Zhang Jun took office, the Xuanfu Department of Sichuan and Shanxi quickly replaced the original commanding general with his own.After Wang Si took office, he did not make any major moves, and the generals also refused to accept him.On the contrary, Wang Xiaolie won consecutive battles, especially the battle of Dantouzhai, and all the generals were amazed.So it's not surprising that Wang Xiaolie's arrangement is more effective than Wang Si's.

After Zhang Jun was transferred back to the court, Wang Xiaolie is now the largest local power faction in the Song Dynasty.Although he does not have the power to depose officials cheaply like Zhang Jun, he actually acts on his own and does not listen to the imperial court.The imperial court had no choice but to let him go.

Zhao Gou's edict seemed to elevate Wang Xiaolie's status, but Wang Xiaolie understood that it was Zhao Gou who wanted to clean up himself.As long as Zhao Gou succeeds in the Northern Expedition, Wang Xiaolie will never be allowed to dominate.If the Northern Expedition is unsuccessful, I'm afraid they will think of other ways.

Knowing his situation, Wang Xiaolie dared to let go instead, not letting go of what he should take care of.

Zhao Gou asked Wang Xiaolie to take back Shaanxi, but he didn't say what to do after taking it back, which was also intentional.In name, Shaanxi should belong to the Sichuan-Shanxi Xuanfu Division, but in fact, Wang Xiaolie's garrison is there, so why would he listen to the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Division?

After discussing the garrison matters in Shaanxi, Wang Xiaolie said: "When you come to Shizhou, how can you not try the mutton here? The mutton in this area is delicious, and it is not fishy or smelly. It can be said to be the most delicious in the world."

Liu Qi said: "I heard that Luoyang produces a famous wine called Peony Spring, which is incomparable to other places. It is said that the Taiwei fights, and the army must have Peony Spring as a celebration. The few of us said on the way that I don't know the Taiwei. Will you use this famous wine as a treat?"

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "What is a few bottles of wine worth! Tonight we will eat mutton and drink Peony Spring!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Wang Sik: "Xuanfu, how long will you stay here?"

Wang Sidao: "Prepare to stay for three to five days, and leave after discussing things."

Wang Xiao said: "It's so good. Stay a little longer, and I will do my best to be a landlord. Although Shizhou is located in the mountains, it is a bit remote, but the food has its own characteristics. And the Yellow River runs through the canyon here. Among them, the scenery is peculiar. When the ice melts in a few days, you can watch its rushing momentum."

Wang Sidao: "I'm afraid I'm too busy to stay here for a long time."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Oh, there is also Deputy Xuanfu Envoy Lu for government affairs, it's not bad these days."

Although Wang Si was somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Xiaolie's handling of Shaanxi affairs, he still admired Wang Xiaolie and had no other thoughts, so he didn't say anything more.

Wang Xiaolie said: "And Ye Canzheng has gone to Fuzhou these days, and he will be back in two days. Since Xuanfu has arrived in Shizhou, why doesn't he see him in politics?"

Ye Mengde hasn't set off to go back yet, and has been in Shizhou these days.After Chi Yuping regained Fuzhou, in order to calm down the situation as soon as possible, he went to see Orihiko who was newly in charge of Fuzhou.Since Wang Si is here, there is no reason why he should not disappear.
