Standing at the Tianjin Bridge, Wang Xiaolie didn't speak for a long time.
The word Tianjin in Tianjin Bridge does not mean the ferry where the emperor passed. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the city of Luoyang, the designers Yang Su and Yu Wenkai were well versed in Feng Shui and celestial phenomena. They thought that the city of Luoyang resembled the Ziwei Palace, the residence of the Emperor of Heaven, and the water of Luoyang resembled the Milky Way. Therefore, the bridge was called "Tianjin Bridge". Tianjin means the Milky Way in the sky.
Luoyang during the Sui and Tang Dynasties was not only extremely prosperous, but also more interesting than other ancient capitals because it was built with a mysterious color by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
"I remember when I was flying on the grass, and I was wearing all my monk's clothes. There was no one on the Tianjin Bridge, I was leaning against the railing to watch the sunset."
After chanting, Wang Xiaolie couldn't help but smile bitterly. He said to Li Yanxian: "I don't know how many poems were written about this bridge, but when I got here, the only one I remembered was Huang Chao. This failed scholar, killed from south to north, buried the Tang Dynasty. Among them, the merits and demerits are also Who can explain clearly? If the Tang Dynasty was not decadent, how could there be a Huang Chao? If there was no Huang Chao, how could the Tang Dynasty be so out of control?"
Li Yanxian said: "How can there be many things in the world that are completely clear? Black and white are originally mixed together. It only depends on how one's eyes distinguish them."
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Du Tong is right. In this world, black and white are originally mixed together, and it is impossible for human eyes to distinguish clearly. When you think you can see clearly, you may have been wrong. Speaking of which, Sui Yang The emperor had great ambitions but few talents, and he tormented a country to the point where the people were in dire straits, and ultimately ruined the world. But his ambition did leave many remarkable things to future generations. When Luoyang City was built, the palace city was like the Ziwei Palace, and the Luoshui River was like the Milky Way. , it’s really amazing.”
Wang Ruohai said: "Jie Commander values this city so much, why not go in and take a tour?"
Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Go past the Tianjin Bridge. After passing the Duanmen is the Imperial City, and then past the Wufeng Tower is the Palace City. It is not an ordinary place. We should go back first, and come over to see it when we are free one day. We are busy with this It’s time to take a good rest. Of course I have to go to the government office.”
"Swallowing the Starry Sky: Sign in to Become a God"
Li Yanxian and Wang Ruohai laughed together. Following Wang Xiaolie, they left Tianjin Bridge.
Henan government office is located in Linyuanfang. It was Zhang Quanyi who moved here for Henan Yinshi in the late Tang Dynasty. During the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty, Zhang Quanyi Yin Luoyang rebuilt the capital and took credit for his contribution to the government. A monument to his virtue and governance was erected in the government office. It's just that after the Jin army defeated Luoyang, the Henan government office was abandoned for a long time. Meng Bangxiong only cleaned it up hastily, and it was still a dilapidated scene.
Arriving in front of the official hall, Wang Xiaolie saw that several white magnolias in front of the court were already bearing blooms and were about to bloom. He said to Li Yanxian: "We came north. It was still winter when we set out, and it was already mid-spring when we arrived in Luoyang. This battle is really touching!"
"Yes. The real battle actually lasted less than ten days. Most of the time, we were waiting!" Thinking of Zhai Xing, Li Yanxian was also filled with emotion.
Entering the official hall, the soldiers have been cleaned up, and the side room is still busy.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Meng Bangxiong is dead, Meng Bangjie has surrendered, and the battle of Luoyang is over. Tonight, I will recruit generals above the commander level to celebrate my victory. Since I raised my army, Luoyang is the largest city I have occupied. I think of that time. Going south from here is really full of emotions!”
Wang Ruohai said yes and went to make arrangements himself.
He ordered the soldiers to kill two sheep and ten chickens to prepare a banquet. Wang Xiaoxiao had nothing to do, and he stepped forward to instruct the soldiers how to bake.
In the afternoon, deputy commander Zhang Yin, commander of the Chinese army Yuan Ji, staff officer Xu Changxing, left Yuhou Lin Wei, right Yuhou Tiancheng, and secretary Zheng Tianguang arrived, and the official hall immediately became lively. A few people were sitting around the fire, talking and laughing. Not long after, Zhang Chi, Chi Yuping, Zhang Zhen, Chen Hai, Gao Xin and other commanders and governors arrived and formed a large circle, making the atmosphere even more lively.
The soldiers were served wine. Wang Xiaolie raised his wine glass and said: "This battle lasted for two and a half months. Although we paid a price, we finally won the victory. Let's prepare some wine and meat here tonight to celebrate for everyone! Time is short and it's a little rough. Don't complain. !”
Everyone said they didn't dare and raised their glasses together.
He raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp. Wang Xiaolie said: "Meng Bangxiong is just a wanderer in the countryside. By chance, he became the general manager. He has no strategy and his army is unorganized. It is not difficult to defeat him and occupy Luoyang. What is difficult is what happens next. The Puppet Qi and Jin armies will definitely send troops to retake Luoyang. Only by defeating the reinforcements and truly firmly occupying Luoyang can we say victory. So in the days to come, you all have to work hard!"
Everyone said yes together.
Looking at the crowd, Wang Xiaolie said: "We have not crossed Funiu Mountain, but we have been on the defensive. Even if we occasionally attack, it is to save others. Now that we have crossed Funiu Mountain and occupied Luoyang City, we are on the offensive. Between offense and defense After the transformation, many places will be different. Have fun tonight, and tomorrow, you will have to work hard. Defeat the Jin Army reinforcements, and we must firmly occupy this thousand-year-old Luoyang City!"
Everyone made the promise together.
Wang Xiaolie sat down and said to everyone: "Okay, let's drink wine and eat meat, and everyone can enjoy themselves!"
Everyone praised it together. Led by Li Yanxian, he drank a full glass of wine.
After three drinks, the rules slowly dropped and the atmosphere became more and more lively. Li Yanxian and Zhang Zhen, two of the best drinkers, started drinking together.
Wang Xiaolie looked at everyone and felt particularly comfortable. This is my favorite scene. Everyone was free to drink as much as they wanted. At this time, there is no identity of superiors and subordinates. The difference between you and me is young, only the enthusiasm of letting go.
Wang Xiaolie was drinking in silence by himself and eating a large charcoal-grilled catfish. Wang Xiaolie said little. After all, Wang Xiaolie is a boring person and is not good at stirring up the atmosphere. At this time, he was more like a bystander, watching everyone lively there.
Wang Ruohai moved his body and sat next to Wang Xiaolie, making room for Li Yanxian. Holding a skewer of meat, chewing slowly.
Unlike Wang Xiaolie, Wang Ruohai not only disliked this scene, but even had some disdain for people who drank together. In his opinion, people should remember their identity at all times and should not do anything illegal. Fortunately, I have been with Wang Xiaolie for a long time and learned to watch.
The soldiers brought up a plate of dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and meat, and a plate of scrambled eggs with Chinese toon, and placed them in front of Wang Xiaolie and Wang Ruohai. At this time, other people are drinking and eating meat, who has the leisure to eat these things.
After eating a dumpling, Wang Ruohai said: "Jie Shuai, what are the arrangements next?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "It is already February, when everything sprouts, and it is also the time for spring plowing. But for the Jin people, as long as it is not the hot weather in May and June, it is the time to use troops. In this season, Puppet Qi wants to sign It is a bit difficult for the common people to serve as an army. The number of reinforcements sent should not be too many. On the contrary, the Jin Army from Shaanxi will not care about the life and death of the people, and may come with a large army. However, the Jin Army from Shaanxi does not exceed 60,000 people and can send Forty thousand people coming here is extremely bold."
Wang Ruohai said: "With Privy Council Zhang here, Shaanxi will definitely not send so many people here."
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "According to normal estimates, the Jin army from Shaanxi should be between 20,000 and 30,000. Wu Shu has fought with us before and did not take advantage. He should not send tens of thousands of people to die. But we must maintain the army from Shaanxi Given the situation, there won’t be too many troops dispatched. Twenty to thirty thousand people will be dispatched. According to the Jin people’s previous experience, all the troops in this dynasty will not be able to stop them. But now, the situation is different.”
Wang Ruohai said: "What Commander Jie said is that if there are twenty or thirty thousand people coming, I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything to us."
Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "Since we came from Funiu Mountain, we can't take the same offensive as before. If the Jin army only comes with 20,000 or 30,000 people, we must have the courage to let them never come back! We were surrounded once in Mianchi Wu Shu, the timing is not right, so I have to let him go. If you ask me to surround you again, I will never let them go!"
"Annihilating 20,000 to 30,000 Jin troops in one battle is something that has never been done by anyone in this dynasty. If Commander Jie can really annihilate the Jin army, no one in the world would dare to underestimate us!" Wang Ruohai was a little excited, and his voice was trembling. .
