Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 851 Great Depth and Great Detour

The nineteenth day of the first lunar month is the first day of September [-]th.If you are in the Central Plains, the willow smoke will be full of green at this time, and the earth will be green.But in Shizhou, it is still desolate, and there is no trace of green in the fields.The weather in the North Country is more than a month later than that in the Central Plains.

In the evening, Wang Xiaoli prepared a dinner for Jiang Min and Zhang Jun.Wang Ruohai and Wang Yan accompanied him.It is not only a private contact relationship, but also a job discussion.

The sun had just set, and Jiang Min called Zhang Jun to go to the Houya to have a banquet.

On the way, Zhang Jun asked: "Suddenly, Xuanfu invited us to dinner, what's so special?"

Jiang Min said: "It's the end of the first month now, the affairs of Shanxi and Linfu Road have been arranged properly, I'm afraid Xuanfu will return to Luoyang."

"Ah—" Zhang Jun was a little surprised, and it should be so after thinking about it. "Xuan Fu came to Shizhou this time, and he really did a few major things. He pacified Shaanxi, took back Linfu Road, and the west of Hedong Road. Now it has basically been pacified. Seriously speaking, these are all great contributions. "

Jiang Min said: "For Xuanfu, do we still need credit now? These things, if we want to go north to attack the Jin people, we have to do it."

Zhang Jun nodded.Said: "That's true. Indeed, Xuanfu doesn't need any credit now. It's what we have to do to make contributions."

When they arrived at Hou Ya, they saw Shao Xing and Li Lian already sitting there.Jiang Min and Zhang Jun saw each other and hurried forward to salute.

After making a few noises, they all sat down.

Jiang Min said: "I heard that Dutong has arrived in Fuzhou from Wubaozhai. I don't know if everything is going well?"

Shao Xing said: "It's going well. You have a regiment that has been in Fuzhou, and no one dares to make trouble. Zheng Gangzhong arranged things in a very orderly manner, and the Zhejia army basically had no complaints. They obediently went to camp in northern Shaanxi in sequence. Of course, everyone saw Zhi didn’t go back to Fuzhou, so he knew that this time was no small matter.”

Zhang Jundao: "Zhe Keqiu surrendered to the Jin army. In the battle in Shanzhou, the morale of the Zhe family army has been dispersed. Once he died, the Zhe family army was completely demoralized."

Shao Xing listened and nodded: "Yes. It took hundreds of years for the Zhejia Army to reach its current scale. Zhe Keqiu only took one or 20 years, and it was completely wiped out."

At this moment, Wang Xiaolie, Wang Ruohai, and Wang Yan arrived.Several people hurriedly got up to salute and took their seats.

The soldiers served tea.Wang Xiao said: "It's already spring. If we were in the Central Plains, it would be the season of peach blossoms, willows and green grass, and eagles flying. All major events have been decided here in Shizhou, and it's useless to stay here. I decided, three days later Let's set off and return to Luoyang."

Jiang Min said: "In the past few months, thanks to Xuanfu's presence in Shizhou, it is not easy to pacify Shaanxi and conquer Linfu Road."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "After I arrived in Shizhou, I fell into a serious illness. When the illness was cured, Shaanxi was pacified. I went to Shaanxi to deal with the aftermath, but before I came back, Chi Yuping had already broken Fuzhou. These few things I can only say that your generals are capable of doing things, and it has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Min wanted to say more, Wang Xiaolie raised his hand and pressed it.He said: "I called you guys here today to arrange things on Hedong Road before I left. There is no accident, I will not come to Shizhou next time, and everything depends on you guys."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and said, "Let's drink two glasses of wine and talk while eating."

Raise your glass and drink it down.

Today's cold dish is a shredded chicken, a plate of lotus root slices, a plate of mung bean sprouts, a plate of shredded radish, a plate of tofu with green onions, and a plate of preserved eggs.There are also two dim sum, red bean buns and pea yellow.

In later generations, these are home-cooked dishes, which ordinary people usually eat.But in this era, in this remote town in the northwest, these dishes are enough for a banquet, and it is a relatively high-end banquet.Wang Xiaolie, who was treating the guests, felt a little embarrassed, but the dinner guests didn't.

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Xiaolie said: "By now, you should have guessed the strategy when facing the Jin army. I haven't mentioned this strategy before, and everyone is just guessing randomly. Let me talk about it today, you guys I know it."

Several people put down their chopsticks, looked at Wang Xiaolie, and listened carefully to his words.

Wang Xiao said: "Hedong is a typical mountainous area. There are mountains on both sides of the east and west, and there are several basins in the middle. You have learned in the military academy that the most important thing in fighting in mountainous areas is to occupy and control the basins between the mountains, and at the same time ensure that the valleys connecting the basins are unimpeded. The current situation is that we have occupied the southern basin centered on Jinzhou and Jiezhou, and also occupied the passage out of the Taiyuan Basin. At the same time, in the east, we have occupied the Longde Mansion centered on the Shangdang Basin. The so-called East River Operation That is, our army uses these two basins as bases to attack the Taiyuan Basin, Xinzhou Daizhou Basin, and Datong Basin in the hands of the Jin army."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie said again: "Of course, from the perspective of the Jin Army, it is based on the Taiyuan Basin to attack our southern basin and the Shangdang Basin. No matter where you look at it, the center of this battle is Taiyuan. basin."

Wang Yan nodded again and again: "Xuan Fu said so, this battle is much clearer."

Wang Xiaolie said: "In this world, although it is the same thing, it has a different look when viewed from different perspectives. We used to talk about the Battle of Hedong, which was nothing more than which place was the big state and which A place is an important place, and so on. It is clear to my ears, but it is a little vague. Now that our middle and senior officers have all gone to military academies, we don’t talk about it like before, and everyone understands it better.”

Zhang Jundao: "The Taiyuan Basin is located in the middle, no wonder it is so important."

Wang Xiaolie said: "That's right. The Taiyuan Basin is located in the middle and has the function of linking the past and the future. Its importance is not comparable to other places. In this battle, I plan to use Jinzhou as the base to attack Jiexiu. As long as Jiexiu is captured, there will be The foothold in the Taiyuan Basin. The Jin army will inevitably come to defend, and the army will face off. At this time, another road starts from Longde Mansion, surrounds Jinjun Road, and attacks Yuci County."

Having said that, Wang Xiaolie drank a glass of wine.Emphasized the tone: "The specific situation at that time is unpredictable. But there is one thing, Taiyuan is so important in the east of the river, the Jin army will definitely come to help. At that time, no matter whether it is victory or defeat, a big battle will be launched in the Taiyuan Basin. Melee."

Having said that, Wang Xiaolie sighed.Said: "I believe that we will win this scuffle. However, in this battle, the Golden Army and the West Route Army will come out in full force. No matter how I calculate, the Golden Army will not be less than 12. Even 16 is possible. .Facing such a large army, if we can eat it in one bite, the west road of Jin Kingdom will completely collapse. Not only will we occupy a vast land, but we can also threaten Youzhou from the side and rear."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie looked at the crowd, and said with a heavy tone: "With 10,000+ people against 10,000+ people, it is too delusional to want to completely eat each other. Let Jiang Min go to Shizhou, I want to use Ning Wu The old way of Guan is to attack Datong Mansion from the side and back. At the beginning, it was too difficult, and I didn’t say it clearly. Fortunately, Jiang Min fully understood my meaning, and after a few months, he has the conditions to do so.”

"Jiang Min is in Shizhou, and he wants to take the old route of Ningwu Pass and attack Datong Mansion. Strategically, this is called a large and deep detour. If it succeeds, this will be an unprecedented large detour! Cooperate with the Taiyuan front line Troops, completely annihilate the West Route Army Group of the Jin Army!"

At the end, Wang Xiaolie's voice was high-pitched, and he seemed a little excited.The listener's heart beats faster involuntarily and becomes excited.
