When Li Yanxian arrived outside the Henan government office, he saw Wang Xiaolie standing there. He hurriedly dismounted and came forward to greet him.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Shaanzhou has such a great victory, I should have gone to greet you outside Luoyang City. But due to my status, it would be inevitable to be gossiped about, so I had to wait for you here early. This great victory is real. It is no small matter to boost the morale of the people of the country. I have prepared wine tonight to catch the wind for you."
Li Yanxian said: "It's all thanks to Commander Ji's command. How can I dare to take credit?"
Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "It would be wrong to say that this victory depends entirely on the lives of your people on the front line. How many officials in the rear are busy day and night? How many people are transporting food to the front line at night? Without them, how could there be victory on the front line? However, if it is because of The people at the rear have done a lot of things, so it is equally wrong to say that the frontline deserves the credit. The war relies on each of us to unite as one to achieve the final victory. However, in this process, there are always people who deserve more credit and others who deserve more credit. slightly less."
Wang Ruohai said: "Some people have more merit and some have less merit. This is a fact. Who has more merit and who has less merit? Commander Ji said that it is always the people on the front line who have more merit. They have to take risks and fight with the enemy. Of course life and death are different.”
After chatting for a while, a few people entered the government office.
Letting the others rest, Wang Xiaolie said to Li Yanxian: "Shao Ling and Niu Gao are also here today. We need to discuss what to do next. Of course we have to celebrate when the battle is won. Just leave it to others." We have more important things."
Li Yanxian handed over his hand and said, "Shuai Jie said, that's exactly what it should be."
Arriving at the headquarters next to the official hall, Wang Xiaolie ordered everyone to take their seats. He said to Wang Ruohai: "Counsellor Wang, please introduce the current situation."
Wang Ruohai said yes. He walked to the front of the map and said: "At the same time as the great victory in Shaanzhou, Shao Ling had a great victory in Hucheng. Zheng Jianchong saw that Balisu was besieged in Shaanzhou, and Shao Ling quickly sent troops to occupy Lingbao. After all, he did not dare to send troops from Hucheng to attack Lingbao. After the overall situation in Shaanzhou was determined, Shao Ling came out of Lingbao and took the initiative to attack Hucheng. In this battle, more than 16,000 people under Zheng Jianchong were annihilated, and Zheng Jianchong led the rest to escape. He thought he was going back to Yan'an Prefecture. Zheke Qiu had just arrived at Longmen and received news from Shaanzhou, so he immediately turned around and returned north. In addition to the complete annihilation of Liu Lin's troops in Zhongmou and the victory of Jiang Min in Hedong, we won all three battlefields in this battle."
After hearing this, Niu Gao said to Shao Ling: "After this great victory, let's see if the golden man dares to be as domineering as before!"
Shao Ling said with a smile: "If Jin is not convinced, send someone to try again!"
Everyone laughed together.
Wang Xiaolie said: "I think the most important thing about this battle is that we have a clear understanding of ourselves. In the past, we only knew that the Jin Army was strong, but no one could tell how strong it was. This time in Shaanzhou, we directly Fight against the Jin Army and annihilate Ba Lisu in one battle. This shows that although the Jin Army is strong, it is not as strong as us. Now I am confident that the Jin Army cannot take back Luoyang even if it gathers an overwhelming number of troops. Zhang Chi occupied it Pinglu County should know best about directly fighting the Jin Army. In a few days, let Zhang Chi return to Luoyang to summarize the situation of this battle in detail."
Wang Ruohai said: "Okay. Commander-in-Chief means to use the next few months to review this battle. All generals who can participate should not miss it. All soldiers who participated in the battle must also participate. Try to describe the process of the war as much as possible. Combined with our army's pre-war plan and the changes in the plan during the war, we must understand why we made such changes. Where did we go wrong, where did we go right, what was our experience, and what were our lessons. Also Yes, not only the generals and soldiers who participated in the war, but also the military academies must be involved. After reviewing, these will be written into teaching materials and taught to subsequent generals."
Li Yanxian said: "The whole army is celebrating now, this matter can start in a few days."
Wang Xiaolie said: "Celebrate ten days. After ten days, our headquarters will start reviewing the war plan, and each army will review the war internally. It will take a month to figure out these things, and a month later, Counselor Wang will summarize it. Get up and review the whole army. We are not professional soldiers, we can only learn war from war. Before the war starts, carefully make a detailed war plan, and after the war is over, conduct a careful review. If we continue to do it in a down-to-earth manner, we will become more and more familiar with war. Get better and better at war. In this world, things are most afraid of seriousness. As long as you take things seriously, nothing will be difficult."
Niu Gao said: "I have learned a lot after fighting in the past few years. It's just that when I look at war now, it is very different from before. Now when I look back at the past, I feel that my thoughts are like those of a child. I think it's not just me, many people The same goes for generals."
Wang Xiaolie said: "Yes, as long as we are good at summarizing and learning, we will learn more and more things. What is war? Simply put, war is not just fighting, but also includes more things. In most cases Next, war is a continuation of politics. But this sentence is for mature political systems on both sides, and it may not always be suitable. For example, what political demands did the Jin Kingdom have when the war began? It was nothing more than It's just a matter of grabbing money. Even the territory, many times they don't want it. They conquered Kaifeng and established the puppet Chu State Zhang Bangchang. Zhang Bangchang failed, so the year before last he established the puppet Qi State Liu Yu. They felt that the territory in the Central Plains could not be occupied, so they established a puppet state. My son, the emperor, takes care of it for himself. But after the First World War in Shaanzhou, the whole world knew that we could defeat the Jin Army, and this war was different. In the future, there will be more and more political battles, and more and more battles on the battlefield. few."
Li Yanxian was stunned: "Commander Jie, what do you mean, there haven't been so many battles? Then our army doesn't have to work so hard."
Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "There won't be so many battles, but it doesn't mean that the army won't work hard. What kind of army should we build? Until now, we don't have a clear answer to this question. Even if we can win now The Jin Army is still unclear. What does this mean? It means that the Jin Army we are facing is also an immature army. The Jin people have not been established for a long time, and everything is rudimentary. It is normal for them to be confused. But we can’t, we Gotta figure it out.”
"There may be fewer opportunities to fight on the battlefield, but we must never relax in training and study! As the same saying goes, if you don't know something, find a way to figure it out. If no one teaches you, learn by yourself. We don't just learn war from war, we also have to Learn war from training and learn war from daily life. As long as we continue step by step in a down-to-earth manner, one day we will become a powerful army in the world!"
Wang Ruohai said with a smile: "We have finally achieved a rare victory, but the commander-in-chief still thinks so much. Let's discuss these issues again when we have the opportunity. Now that we are celebrating a great victory, we can't spoil everyone's happiness."
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes, yes, we can't spoil everyone's joy. Li Dutong, Counselor Wang and Counselor Chen will discuss how to celebrate together. You don't have to ask me. The soldiers have worked hard for several months and it's time to relax." Fan."
After chatting for a while, Wang Ruohai said: "Let me talk about the next deployment. Cao Zhiyan's troops will go north from Zhengzhou and occupy Huaizhou, Weizhou and Zezhou. Cao Zhiyan is stationed in Zezhou and must pay close attention to Longde Mansion, Xiangzhou and Anli The enemy situation of the army threatened Liu Yu in Daming Prefecture. Shaoxing's left army went north to conquer Hezhong Prefecture, Jiezhou, and Jiangzhou. Shaoxing stationed in Jiangzhou and paid close attention to the military situation in Jinzhou and Taiyuan Prefecture. The defense of Shangzhou was handed over to Li Xing’s rear army is in charge.”
Li Yanxian thought for a while and said: "Jie Shuai intends to focus on Hedong Road and ignore Shaanxi Road?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "Yes, our strategic target is on Hedong Road. Don't waste too much energy on Shaanxi. To be honest, if we occupy Luoyang and establish a firm foothold, it is equivalent to stealing the retreat of the Jin Army in Shaanxi. . If we cooperate with the Sichuan and Sichuan defenders, it is not impossible to completely annihilate the Jin army on the Shaanxi Road. But when it comes to cooperation, this matter is really not easy. Privy Zhang announced that Sichuan and Shaanxi must be done cheaply, and we must obey orders when we enter Shaanxi. Alas, our army has its own characteristics and cannot really cooperate with other armies. If we follow Privy Council Zhang's orders and suffer another defeat in Fuping, who can bear it?"
Wang Xiaolie said this very straightforwardly, and everyone was speechless after hearing it.
There is no need to doubt Zhang Jun's determination to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but he also has the problem of being stubborn, ambitious and lacking in talent. Wang Xiaolie did not dare to gamble with his army that Zhang Jun would not treat him like this. Once the bet failed, the consequences would be unpredictable. It would be better to simply abandon Shaanxi and directly fight the Jin army in Hedong.
Wang Xiaolie also didn't believe that after the defeat of Shaanzhou, the Jin army dared to gather heavy troops in Guanzhong. Wang Xiaolie occupied Luoyang and won a great victory in Shaanzhou, which made Guanzhong useless to the Jin people. It's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to throw it away.
