Wang Ruohai walked into the official hall and saw Wang Xiaolie studying the map of Hedong Road. After a moment of silence, he said: "Yue Kuan has been sent away by Li Dutong. I heard that Wang De has a lot of opinions because we don't know when the money from the rear will be delivered."
Wang Xiaolie straightened up and said, "This Liu Guangshi refuses to use his own money to buy cannons, and the court doesn't allocate it to him, so he's in trouble. We don't want the court to force us to give him credit on credit. Han Shi Has Zhong and Zhang Jun’s money come?”
Wang Ruohai shook his head: "No. But I heard that they are already on the way. And unlike Yue Kuan, these two people have enough money."
Wang Xiaolie said: "The imperial court has to deal with Zhang Jun first before it can allocate money to Yue Fei. Just wait. We will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars at once, and we won't accept it. Even the imperial court will have to raise funds for a while. Casting cannons The cannons are still being cast at the field to ensure they can be used by our army."
Wang Ruohai nodded. After a while, he said: "I heard that the imperial court recently appointed Li as a defense envoy and asked him to lead the army. Only the ministers in the court objected, so he only received a false title. After a while, I think he will be allowed to lead the army."
Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and then said: "The soldiers of the imperial court are still the same as before. The officials wanted to use Li Cheng for more than a day or two. It's just that Li Cheng was too cowardly when he was in Zhongmou, so he waited until now. The reason for this Let them go and don’t worry about it.”
One of the signs of military modernization is that combat power has shifted from being dominated by generals to being dominated by soldiers. Well-trained soldiers, combined with a professional staff team, form the majority of an army's combat effectiveness. The role of generals is to make war decisions, not to train soldiers.
Without retraining and training, no matter how good the captured generals are, Wang Xiaolie will not use them. What's more, people like Li Cheng have obvious shortcomings and advantages, and Wang Xiaolie has no need for them. Zhao Gou's military thoughts are typical of those of generals in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, so ignore him.
Wang Ruohai said: "I heard that the emperor initially wanted to make Li Cheng the military envoy, but all the ministers objected, so he made him the defensive envoy. Doing so would probably chill the hearts of the soldiers. I heard that among the generals who came to Luoyang recently, except Tian Shi Others, both Chinese and foreign, are extremely dissatisfied.”
Wang Xiaolie smiled and shook his head: "Tian Shizhong is quite brave in battle and can lead troops well, but he is not very outstanding among the generals. One of his strengths is that he is shameless, and few others As soon as possible. Zhang Jun's son died early, so Tian Shizhong married Zhang Jun's daughter-in-law. From then on, he always addressed Zhang Jun as "father". That's what Tian Shizhong called him, and Zhang Jun agreed. That’s right.”
Wang Ruohai said: "People say that Tian Shizhong should not be Zhang Jun's commander of the Chinese army. With his ability, how can he do it?"
Wang Xiaolie looked at Wang Ruohai and said earnestly: "Commander, please don't think so. It would be difficult for someone like Zhang Jun to replace him as the commander of the Chinese army. He appointed Tian Shizhong not just because Tian Shizhong is good at flattery, and it is because Tian Shizhong can fight. Combining these two talents is Tian Shizhong's special skill. Don't underestimate him, he can really combine two strengths, no one can compare with him. The master of cross field is hit."
Wang Ruohai said: "That's what Xuan Fu said. With these two strengths, no one can compare with Tian Shizhong."
Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "Ignore them. The imperial court wants artillery, and it will definitely make big moves after getting it. If we attack Shaanxi to the west, Shaanxi's Jin soldiers will be too weak. Attacking Liu Yu to the east will turn into a confrontation. The decisive battle of the Jin Dynasty. After much calculation, it is only appropriate to attack Hedong and capture Taiyuan Mansion. I am studying the Hedong Dipu here, come and take a look."
Wang Ruohai looked at the map for a while. Said: "There is no other way to attack Hedong. It is just to attack Taiyuan from two directions, Longde Mansion and Jinzhou, and the two sides will fight at the foot of Taiyuan City. After taking Taiyuan, it will not be that difficult for Lingzhou and Daizhou."
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "It makes sense. Since ancient times, this has been the way to attack Hedong. However, there are many Jin soldiers and cavalry. Even if we capture Taiyuan, most of the Jin soldiers may escape. Then attack Lingzhou and Daizhou. , the more you fight the enemy, the stronger it becomes, which is always not good.”
Wang Ruohai said: "What can we do? Fighting the enemies in the north is a difficult situation after all."
Wang Xiaolie said: "There is a saying in the art of war that victory can be won by a perfect combination. I think that when attacking Taiyuan, if we can use surprise troops correctly, it will be miraculous."
Wang Ruohai thought about it briefly and understood. Said: "Xuanfu means Jiang Min Yijun?"
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes. I have equipped Jiang Min with the best generals and soldiers. They should play an important role. To the north of Shizhou, there is a road leading behind Taiyuan. If Jiang Min can block Taiyuan during the war, The defender's retreat route can be used to catch turtles in the urn. At that time, the Jin army can be gathered and annihilated in Taiyuan Prefecture."
Wang Ruohai said: "Jiang Min has never fought, so I don't know if he can accomplish this."
Wang Xiaolie sighed: "Yeah, I'm worried about this too. What I'm most worried about is planting dragon seeds and harvesting fleas. Not only do we not know, but at this time, I'm afraid Jiang Mi doesn't have any confidence in his heart either. Ah. I want to go to Hedong again after October. I have to see it with my own eyes before I can feel at ease."
Wang Ruohai thought for a while. Said: "Xuanfu thinks that the Jin army will not invade the south this year?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "What is Nan guilty of? They just grabbed the artillery, and it will take a year or two to cast it and use it skillfully. As for us, a new army has been newly formed, and the combat effectiveness is always worrying. There must be a year or two for them to get used to it.”
Wang Ruohai said: "It makes sense. So there is no war this year. Isn't it a bit deserted?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "If there is no big war, small battles will inevitably happen. Zhe Keqiu in Fuzhou must be resolved as soon as possible. If Jiang Min wants to go north from Shizhou, he cannot be deceived by Zhe Keqiu. This is a war. And, there should be an explanation this year.”
Wang Ruohai said: "Speaking of Fuzhou, it's really a headache. The Zhe family has been operating there for hundreds of years, and it's really hard to penetrate with needles and water. I have sent people there several times, but there is always no way. Take root there. It’s hard to fathom what kind of attitude Zhe Keqiu has.”
Wang Xiaolie sat down, said nothing, and thought for a while. Said: "During the Jingkang period, Zhe Keqiu could be regarded as fighting against the Jin. In the end, he had no choice but to vote for the Jin. However, after voting for the Jin, he attacked Shaanxi Province and committed many crimes. In the first two years, he still wanted to fight with Liu Yu Li, with special efforts. Now that the Jin people have chosen Liu Yu, what his attitude is is really elusive. I think it is difficult for him to make a choice without pressure. Jiang Min has arrived in Shizhou and can find a way to communicate with Zhejia. Got in touch.”
Wang Ruohai said: "That's all it can do. If you don't know what is possible, it will be difficult to make a decision."
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Fuzhou has a special status. It is between the Song Dynasty and Xixia, and it is on the west bank of the Yellow River. It has an important strategic position. As a party member, the Zhejia is the tip of the spear against Xixia. However, the Zhejia is in Fuzhou. The state has been here for hundreds of years, and its considerations may be different from those of us outsiders. In the final analysis, we still have to talk to the Zhe family about this matter. Zhe Yanzhi was originally a suitable candidate, but he lost his artillery in Huangzhou."
Wang Ruohai said: "I heard that the imperial court was also very angry about Zhe Yanzhi and took control of it again. If Xuan Fu is willing, he can be recruited."
