Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 872 War Arrangement
Two days later, Gao Ying reported to Wang Xiaolie: "In the past two days, the government has made many investigations. In Daohuafang, there is the original Feng Zheng Garden, which has been reduced to a private house many years ago. Now most of it is deserted. It's a pity to be deserted. There are three acres of it. With one more house, the house is still roughly complete. After some renovations, it can be used as a school for Lay Yi An."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Daohuafang is considered a prosperous place, so it should be there. You help Lay Yi An to formulate a rough system, and if she is willing, help find a few female gentlemen and let them gather together to teach .”

Gao Ying said: "Talking to Lay Yi An a few days ago, it seems that she refuses to hire someone."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Talk about it again. If you definitely refuse, we won't force him. But for the Henan government, it took a lot of effort. It would be a pity to teach only a dozen people. If the layman is unwilling If you hire someone, just designate a small yard for her alone. It doesn’t have to be that big, just over an acre of land is enough.”

Gao Ying said yes.

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's mid-April now, and it's not far from Eargrass. The wheat is about to be harvested, so pay attention to the weather these days, and don't miss the farming time. Farmers work hard all year, all in these few days. "

Gao Ying said: "There has been a light rain for the past few days, and the wheat has grown steadily. As long as you don't fall down, it will be another bumper harvest year."

Wang Xiaolie nodded and said nothing.

In his spare time, Wang Xiaolie often goes to Taoyuan Fairyland to see the growth of wheat.

Everyone said that this year was a bumper harvest year, but in Wang Xiaolie's eyes, the growth of wheat was really not that good.It is sparse, and there are not many seeds on the ears of wheat. It looks like it is malnourished.It may take time, Wang Xiaolie slowly got used to the wheat at this time, so he can get used to it.

Now that the army is moving to Hedong, Wang Xiaolie has no energy to deal with Li Qingzhao's affairs.After giving her a house, it's up to her to see if she can do it well.The environment in Luoyang is always much better than other places, and life shouldn't be too much of a problem.

In the afternoon, Wang Xiaoli arrived at the Yamen of the Xuanfu Division to deal with military and political affairs.

Wang Ruohai came to Wang Xiaolie's office and reported some trivial matters.He said: "Xuanfu, it's already April, it's time to settle down the personnel of the headquarters. Now the army is moving to Jinzhou and Longde Mansion. Without the headquarters, it always seems too messy."

Wang Xiaolie nodded.He said: "I have thought for a long time, Shaanxi cannot be stationed without a general, let Shao Ling be stationed in Jingzhao Mansion. Except for the original personnel of the headquarters, let Ma Kuo replace Shao Ling, and the rest can be done as usual."

Wang Ruohai said: "Still let Wang Shu be the secretary?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "That's right. This battle is extraordinary, and the position of secretary cannot be given to anyone casually."

Wang Ruohai said: "I understand. Apart from Xuanfu, envoy Li Chengxuan will no longer serve as Dutong, any positions in the headquarters?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "He will carry out the affairs of the same group, and no longer concurrently serve as the commander of the Chinese army. If necessary, he can set up a headquarters in other places, which can be divided or combined."

Wang Ruohai nodded.Dao: "According to Xuanfu's order, besides Xuanfu, Li Chengxuan is in charge of a group of affairs in the current headquarters. I am the staff officer, Ma Kuo is the Marquis of Zuodu Yu, Niu Gao is the Marquis of Yudu of the Right Capital, and Wang Yan is the secretary in charge. I don't know if it's true?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "That's it. You draw up an order to let a few of them come to Luoyang."

Wang Ruohai said yes.After discussing some miscellaneous matters, we left.

Wang Xiaolie sat down on the seat, looked out the window, and thought about something.

Official military operations are expected to begin in October, and it is time for the headquarters to be formed.In the past six months, there have been many things to complete the mobilization of troops, the mobilization of materials, and the completion of various combat preparations.There are many things to do in a big battle, so of course preparations must start early.

Going north from Jinzhou is the main attack route planned by Wang Xiaolie. Except for the two divisions in Longde Mansion, the rest of the mobile troops are all placed there.In half a year, Cao Zhiyan has finished repairing the roads in Jinzhou, and there is no obstacle to go north.

Jinzhou's main supply route is through Guanzhong.The materials flowed into the Yellow River from the Beiluo River and the Weihe River, passed through Hezhongfu, entered the Fenhe River in Ronghe County, and went all the way north.The Fen River is the main artery of material transportation, which is related to the life and death of the front line.

In addition to the Fen River, another supply route in Jinzhou is Guzhi Guanxing.Luoyang goes north to Jiyuan, walks through Zhiguanxing, crosses Wangwu Mountain, passes through Jiangxian County to Jiangzhou, and merges into the Fenhe Channel.This route is secondary, and the main transport is combat readiness materials.

After April, the rain increased and the river transportation was relatively smooth.Now the ships in Guanzhong are connected to each other, and they are racing to the north, and they can't see the end at a glance.In a month or two, after the wheat harvest in Guanzhong, the scene will be even more spectacular.

This season's wheat is the main ration for Jinzhou's frontline besides millet, so Wang Xiaolie pays special attention to it.

Standing up, Wang Xiaolie went to the window to look at the courtyard.The peaches, plums and apricots in the courtyard are ripe, and the branches are covered with numerous fruits.Even pomegranates, some have already blushed.A few crape myrtle flowers shake in the breeze, looking extraordinarily bright.

Today's Hedong area is facing the coming storm.

Datong Mansion, as the Xijing of the Jin Dynasty, lies on the north of Hedong Road.The north is the grassland, the south is Xinzhou, Daizhou Basin and Taiyuan Basin, and the west is the Yellow River Jiuqu, which is in the lower reaches of Xixia. The geographical location is very important.

This is an important place for the Jin Dynasty to control Xixia in the west and press down on the grasslands in the north. It is not stingy with the status of the capital.At this time, the Jin Dynasty was divided into the Eastern and Western courts, and the Datong Mansion in Xijing was the seat of the Western court.Nianhan used the country to talk about Youbo and was stationed here as the Marshal of the capital, presiding over the affairs of the Liao and the Central Plains.

After Wanyan Yinshu arrived at the Datong Mansion in Xijing, he rested for a while and left the city to go north.After rushing for [-] li all the way, I saw many tents and herds of cattle and sheep in front of me. It was Nianhan's station.Urge the horse forward, get off the horse outside the main tent.

A woman next to her was carrying a milk bucket to pay in, when she saw Wanyan Yinshu coming, she stood aside.

Wanyan Yinshu stepped forward, cupped his hands and asked, "Sister-in-law, I wonder if Marshal Du is in the tent?"

The woman said: "The marshal went hunting, but he is not in the tent. If uncle is in a hurry, you can look west."

Thanks to Wanyan Yinshu, he took his men and rode to the west.

The woman was Huizong's eighth daughter, Emperor Ji of Shunde, whose baby name was Yingluo.It has been seven or eight years since she married Xiang Zijian for the first time, was captured in Jingkang and went north, and was bestowed with Nianhan.Nianhan is out hunting this time, without his wife, but with tassels.

Looking at Wanyan Yinke's back, Yingluo sighed softly, carried the milk bucket, and went back to the tent.

After walking five or six miles, Wanyan Yinshu could see many warriors in front of him, surrounding a fierce tiger.The tiger was visibly irritable, and roared at the crowd, the sound shaking the mountains and plains.But he was constantly being shot by bows and arrows, and there was nothing he could do.

Nianhan is riding a horse in the middle.Seeing that the tiger was approaching him, he bent his bow and set an arrow, and the arrow hit the tiger's neck.The surrounding samurai let out a cheer, rushed up with spears in hand, and stabbed the tiger to death on the spot.

That's what power hunting is all about.The servants drive the prey to the front, better use a hunting fork, most of them only need to bend and put an arrow on it.It doesn't matter if you can't shoot to death, everyone rushes forward to die, and they won't investigate the weight of the first arrow.

While everyone was cleaning up the dead tigers, Wanyan Yinshu could urge his horse forward.Xiang Nianhan crossed his hand: "The last general can do silver, see Marshal Du!"

Nian Rare is Yin Shuke, he laughed and said: "You came just in time, there will be tiger meat to eat tonight! Let's go, we will pay the bill!"

The warriors under his command carried the tiger, sang songs, followed Nianhan, and walked towards the big tent not far away.

After entering the big tent and serving milk tea, Nianhan asked, "When did Dutong arrive in Xijing?"

Yinshu Ke said respectfully: "I arrived early this morning. I heard that Marshal Du was out hunting, so I hurried over here."

Nianhan said: "It's just in time. The left and right supervisors are on the left and right, and Gao Liuzong is here. We just happened to discuss things."

After speaking, he sent a soldier to invite a few people.

After a while, Gu Shen, the left supervisor, Yelu Yujian, the right supervisor, and Gao Qingyi, who stayed behind in Xijing, walked in one after another.

Everyone greeted Wanyan Yinshu and took their seats.

These few people are the most core members of the Nianhan Group and the main rulers of the Western Court of Jin Dynasty.Wanyan Yinshu is actually a bit inferior, he was originally a general with the same reputation as Ba Lisu and Lou Su.But now he is guarding Taiyuan, so he was specially invited here.

Putting down the cup of milk tea, Nianhan said: "I got the news from Lin'an that this fall, the Song Army intends to send two armies northward. Zhao Gou himself is the commander of the East Route, leading Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, and Yue Fei. people, to attack the two Huaihe Rivers. On the West Road, Wang Xiaolie was the commander and led the army to attack Taiyuan."

Gu Shen said: "We don't care about him in Donglu, we are lazy to decide. Our top priority is how to deal with Wang Xiaolie. In the past two years, Wang Xiaolie's momentum has been extremely fierce. , cannot be underestimated."

Nian Han said: "That's right, this Wang Xiaolie is indeed our fierce enemy. Now he has a strong army, and he really cannot be underestimated."

Yin Shuke said: "One year ago, Wang Xiaolie occupied Pingyang Mansion and Longde Mansion. I only had more than [-] soldiers in Taiyuan, and my strength was insufficient, so I had to guard Taiyuan Mansion carefully. Last winter, Wang Xiaolie occupied the mansion again. In Shanxi, recovering Linfu Road has overwhelmed Taiyuan Prefecture."

Nianhan sighed: "A lot of our soldiers and horses were on the East Road before. We watched Wang Xiao hunt, but we couldn't gather soldiers, so we had to sit and watch. Now, the soldiers and horses from the East Road have been transferred back, so we will definitely not Let's be presumptuous!"

Yin Shuke said: "Marshal has already made up his mind? This autumn, a decisive battle with Wang Xiaolie?"

Nianhan nodded emphatically: "That's right! Wang Xiaolie has occupied Shanxi again, and we won't be able to fight him soon, so we have to watch him grow up!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Gao Qingyi beside him, "How do you feel staying behind?"

Gao Qingyi said: "Looking at what Wang Xiaolie has done in the past few years, he acts prudently, fights decisively and quickly, he is a formidable enemy. Your Majesty should be fully prepared, not to be taken advantage of and lose the opportunity."

Nianhan looked at Gao Qingyi and nodded slowly.
