Huang Yuan's foreign record is not clear about what happened next. It seems that after drinking some wine, the two sisters went to bed. On the bed, Yu Slave talked sweetly and Ping Ping came up with all kinds of tricks. Huang Yuanwai felt like he was in heaven. In a daze, he agreed to turn south with Tang Zhe, live near Shangshui County for a while, and pay for Pingping's death.

The next morning, Huang Yuanwai sobered up. When he saw the two sisters stripping naked and sleeping on the same bed as him, he couldn't help but be shocked. Thinking of what I promised last night, I broke into a cold sweat again.

Yu Nu woke up faintly and said to Huang Yuanwai: "Why did Yuanwai wake up so early?"

Huang Yuanwai said: "This - this, how can you sisters sleep in the same bed with me?"

Yunu smiled and said: "Executive member, we are just like this, what's so strange about it? Did you enjoy yourself last night?"

He didn't speak when he saw Mr. Huang. Yunu added: "Thank you so much for your kindness, Yuanwai, for agreeing to redeem my sister's life. Good people are rewarded, and you will live a long life. When my sister is free, I will take her and live together."

Huang Yuanwai wanted to say that he didn't want to change the route, but Yu Nu's slippery body pressed against him, but he couldn't say anything.

What kind of person is Yunu? Looking at Huang Yuanwai's expression, you can tell what he is thinking. He resorted to various means to make Huang Yuanwai unable to say anything to refuse. When Pingping woke up, the two wanted to flatter Huang Yuanwai, but they started to act nonsense again.

Riding on his horse and looking at the surrounding mountain scenery, Li Yanxian sighed: "Unknowingly, the leaves are falling, and autumn is here. The Wushu army has begun to march westward, leaving the army to guard Longmen. This time the suppression will not be with Wushu. It’s a pity to have a decisive battle.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "As a general, you should know your joints. To be honest, after thinking about it, the Jin army is now as sharp and elite as before. It is not the time for a decisive battle with it. After a few years, the troops of this dynasty will regain their strength. The Jin army has lost its spirit, so it would be more appropriate then."

Li Yanxian crossed his hands with some regret and said: "In that case, let's say goodbye. I have ordered the troops to abandon Shaanzhou and retreat to Guozhou. With this retreat, the rebels in Jiezhou and Jiangzhou have lost their support, and life will probably be difficult. ”

Wang Xiaolie said: "The retreat is for a better attack, not a passive retreat. The Jin army is not large in number. Even if Shaanxi is lost, the strength of the Jin army will be dispersed. The rebels in Hedong and Taihang have to live a few years of hardship." Days. As long as we keep at it, we will always come back!”

Li Yanxian was unable to say anything due to his limited strength. We cherished each other's friendship and took the people back to Guozhou from Dong Xian's Yongning area.

Watching Li Yanxian ride away, Wang Xiaolie felt empty in his heart for a moment. To be honest, the Jin Army does not have many troops. If the Song Army can unite sincerely at this time, it can fight the Jin Army decisively. But the word unity is extremely simple to say, but extremely difficult to do.

Whether to defend or attack depends on the situation. Military strength is sometimes very mysterious. If you break it down piece by piece, you just can't explain it clearly. But the overall trend is there and can be seen at a glance. At this time, the Jin army was still elite and very powerful. Even if it failed temporarily, it would not affect the overall situation. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that as time goes by, the source of troops changes, and internal conflicts develop, the Jin Army is no longer what it was four or five years ago.

Later generations could see that as Wu Shu gradually gained power, the combat effectiveness of the Jin army actually declined. Although Wu Shu is a big boss in the story about Yue, in real history, Wu Shu is not as good as the previous ones in military terms.

Wang Xiaolie's own judgment is that the Jin army will still be very strong in the next year or two, and the Song Dynasty should avoid a decisive battle at this time. Instead, they should concentrate their forces on defense, consume the strength of the Jin army, and wait for the situation to be favorable to them. In this process, we should accumulate strength and expand our army. Wait until the Jin army's offensive slows down and test the attack during the stalemate stage. When he has the upper hand, he will engage in a strategic decisive battle with the Jin army. However, at this time, the Song Dynasty court either advocated war, peace, or even surrender. It was extremely rare for people to carry out such long-term strategic planning.

At this time, Wang Xiaolie remembered the value of "On Protracted War" during the Anti-Japanese War. Although there are always smart people who tell others mysteriously, in fact, so and so has proposed a protracted war. And so-and-so, analyze it in more detail. All in all, the bottom line is that the thought of the man you think is great is not worth mentioning at all. Of course this is not the case in reality, it is just the pretentious remarks of some literary men. "On Protracted War" analyzes Japan's strength and domestic situation in detail, and proposes an anti-Japanese strategy from a strategic perspective.

The Song-Jin War was of course different from the Anti-Japanese War. In terms of strength, the Song Dynasty was higher than the Jin Dynasty, but it had great military deficiencies. The problem is that in the early stages of the Song-Jin War, the Song Dynasty almost lost all its regular troops due to a large number of strategic and tactical mistakes. After the defeat of Kaifeng Mansion, a large number of rebellions occurred in the Song Dynasty, and internal strife was serious. As long as it can integrate internally, organize and train its army, and have a firm will to resist, the Song Dynasty will definitely win. Moreover, the time for a successful counterattack will not be too long.

Zhao Gou was a staunch capitulator who ruined a good situation and only defended half of the country. For those with a little enterprising spirit, the Central Plains should be restored as long as they don't lose their head during the ten years of a large number of wars to train the army.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolie looked at the colorful mountains and forests and sighed. This period of waiting is really unbearable.

Wu Shu had already withdrawn his troops, so there was no need for Wang Xiaolie to stay in Yique. Take the army and retreat to Linru. When Wu Shu leaves Luoyang, Wang Xiaolie's 30,000 troops will be stationed in various places in Ruzhou. These 30,000 troops went north and would never return to Dengzhou.

Around Wang Xiaolie, except for Feng Changning from Chenzhou and Feng Yi from Guangzhou, the other governors and governors were relatively reliable. Feng Changning didn't say anything, he didn't have many soldiers and horses, and his ambition was not strong. He only thought about surrendering to the Jin Dynasty to find a good position. Feng Yi is not very strong, and he is surrounded by big thieves like Li Cheng and Li Shen. Wang Xiaolie's strategy was to conduct guerrilla attacks on Feng Changning and Feng Yi's territory as a buffer zone.

After returning to Ruzhou and taking care of military chores, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. Wang Xiaolie left the prefecture with a small group of soldiers and returned to his hometown of Zhaoluo Town. Sisters Wang Qingxiu and Wang Zhong were waiting at the entrance of the village early to welcome Wang Xiaolie home.

After entering the house, Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Qingxiu: "I didn't go home last year, and my family relied on the folks to take care of me. When I come back this time, I brought some newly made mooncakes from Xiangyang. Let's send them to the folks together."

Wang Qingxiu naturally said yes. Together with Wang Xiaolie, let the soldiers bring mooncakes and deliver them to each family.

Mooncakes already existed in the Song Dynasty, but the production was relatively rough. Based on his memory, Wang Xiaolie increased the proportion of sugar and oil in the mooncakes and used many new fillings. In particular, five-nut mooncakes are particularly popular in this era.

After delivering the mooncakes, when I returned home, the sun was already lying gloomily on the Western Mountain.

Wang Xiaolie said: "I don't like to feel depressed. Let's eat out tonight. You are in the village and you are all taken care of by Wang Zhong's family. Please call his family to come with you tonight. When I return to Xiangyang this time, my sister will go with me. . It’s easier to take care of the siblings if they live together.”

After hearing this, Wang Qingxiu turned around and looked at the old house. He said: "I was born and raised here since I was a child, am I going to leave? When my father was working as an official, I wandered with him for a few years, and my life was not very happy."
