The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the cool breeze at night is rising. It just seems that it is summer, and the wind blows on your face, not cold.

Wang Xiaoli stood in the courtyard, looking at the moon in the sky. What should he do next? He was still a little confused. What can he do when he arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture? If you want to defend Kaifeng, the two Huaihe Rivers and the two lakes must be stable. If you don’t have a stable rear, how can Kaifeng defend it? But the current situation and the world is in chaos, there is no way to start.

Zhao Gou cannot stabilize as soon as possible, and Kaifeng Prefecture cannot be defended. How can the Jin soldiers break through once, but how can they break through again?

If Zong Ze died, where should he go? He sighed lightly and Wang Xiaoli wandered in the yard.

There were several bonfires in the open space in front of the county government. The people laughed around the bonfire and talked about Wang Xiaoli's victory today. Those who had good things in the army took out the heads of the Jin people and placed them by the bonfire. The people came forward to watch and spit them again when they saw it.

There was not much food and grass in the city, so the rice was gathered and cooked a few pots of porridge, so that the soldiers could fill their stomachs.

At this moment, drums came from outside the city gate, accompanied by people's cheers. In this voice, several figures rushed in from the city gate like flying, shouting: "The wine and meat are coming! Congratulations to the general!"

Wang Xiaolie heard the noise outside and didn't know what was going on. He took a few personal soldiers and quickly walked out of the door.

Wang Zhong hurried forward and said happily: "Xiaosheren, the people in the city have bought wine and meat and said they want to celebrate our achievements! After these hardships, I can finally fill my stomach today!"

Wang Xiaoli looked up and saw a group of people coming from the city gate. They slowly approached and gradually became clear in the bonfire. The men in front carried three jars of wine. The few people behind each carried a chicken, and a few people carried a sheep, and the one behind could not see clearly. Next to them, there were a few people carrying drums and beating constantly.

Wang Zhong said: "It's so lively! I just thought that Jingxi Road was hit by war this year and was sparsely populated. I don't want to be like this!"

Wang Xiaoli said: "Even if the Jin people are vicious, how can the people die in an instant? It's just that most of them escape to the mountains and wait for the Jin people to retreat. These people must live in remote areas. It's really not easy to enter the city to celebrate today."

At this moment, Yang Shen brought a few people who looked like a servant and saluted him in front of Wang Xiaoli: "Little Housekeeper, the three newcomers are Du Yuanwai, Yang Yuanwai and Liu Yuanwai. They heard that we had won a great victory, so they specially prepared wine and meat to celebrate in the city."

The three members came forward and saluted Wang Xiaoli.

Wang Xiaoli said: "Since the Jin soldiers came south, the people of the Central Plains were suffering. My father Xingyi soldiers were originally to defend the country. When he met Jin soldiers, he should have fought hard. It is a blessing to win today. You are very grateful for your rewards for the wine and meat!"

Mr. Liu said: "In the past few years, I have heard that the court was defeated everywhere and the Jin people were in danger. General Shenwu made such a great contribution in one battle. Our people were naturally happy when they heard this. However, the local area was repeatedly fired and the supplies were not abundant. Don't be disgusted. I heard that the general's army had not had enough food and grass. We gathered together and transported 50 stones of grain. Although it was not much, we could barely support Kaifeng Prefecture."

Wang Xiaowei was overjoyed when he heard this. Wine and meat were nothing, but grain was important. Gongxian could not get it, so he could only get it along the way. The place is messy now, and not everyone is as easy to talk to as Gongxian.

He immediately ordered the soldiers to move out a few large tables and place them in front of the county government office.

After pouring the wine, Wang Xiao said, "It's rare to get together, so everyone drinks. Today I've been drunk. I'll bring my army into Kaifeng Prefecture tomorrow. I don't know when it will take me to come back here. I've been following the orders of Marshal Zong to come to the west and suffered countless hardships. I won one game today and live up to the road."

Mr. Liu: "For many days, only when the general wins this game, we people are happy. Which of these people has not been fed up with the suffering of the Jin people? If the general wins and drives the Jin people away, everyone can live a good life."

Wang Xiaolie smiled and nodded. But he knew in his heart that if it weren't for his arrival, these people would probably never see the days to drive the Jin soldiers away in their lifetime. No matter how many people, what kind of beautiful wishes and how many unwillingness to do, in fact, since the Jin soldiers broke through the Central Plains, the Song Dynasty would have no time to return here. Now these people still have a place to hide. What about three years later? What about five years later? What about ten years later? They can't escape it.

Since Wang Ru raised the army on his behalf, this army has encountered the disbanding of the rebel army when he arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture. Then Kaifeng Prefecture fell and was wandering around and never had a good life. Today, he won a battle and the people worked hard. Everyone was extremely excited and just drank and ate meat.

After drinking a few bowls of wine, Wang Xiaolie returned to his residence to rest on the excuse of being unwell. He was the leader of these more than 300 people and must always be alert and dare not be careless. Although the Jin soldiers went north and in theory, they should go to Kaifeng safely, but who knows?

Everyone outside cheered and drank wildly, never leaving all night. These days have been hard, and they finally had wine and meat, so they were reluctant to let go. After the daytime, they didn't feel anything. I didn't expect that when I arrived at the place, the people would respect themselves so much.

Wang Xiaoli leaned on the bed and looked at the moonlight sprinkled in the window, but couldn't sleep for a long time. There were too many things that had happened in the past two days, and I couldn't figure it out for a moment. When I went to Kaifeng Prefecture, what would others, including Zong Ze, think of him? How would they arrange it? When Zong Ze died, who would take over? What would happen? If I couldn't defend Kaifeng Prefecture, where should I go?

It can be seen that even now, the Song Dynasty still has enough manpower and material resources to resist the Jin Dynasty. The remaining territory is enough for the army to move. However, there is no strong organization, and the whole country is covered in disarray, and there is no power to fight back in front of the Jin soldiers.

Wang Xiaolie quietly thought about the history in his memory and fell into deep thought.

It can be said that the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was largely cheated by Huizong, Qinzong and his son, as well as the court ministers at that time. The Song Dynasty did not lack manpower, material resources, nor did it lack the generals and troops to resist, but this army could not be fought. Due to strategic mistakes, it was swallowed up by the Jin army bit by bit. Now, the court is in a mess and there is no way to talk about the organization.

With such strength, Zhao Gou fled like a stray dog, and the Jin army had no power to fight back, which showed his incompetence. Such an incompetent monarch was able to stabilize after more than ten years and confront the Jin Dynasty north and south, which also showed his strong strength.

This era is so strange. At such a strange time, you must think clearly what Wang Xiaoli should do.

It is impossible to surrender to Zhao Gou. Thinking of Yue Fei in history, you will know that it is a dead end. Even if you can keep your life, you have to hand over your military power, and regret it for life. But it is also true that Zhao's army did not lose its heart at this time. Even if Zhao Gou was incompetent, as long as he did not surrender, the whole country will be loyal to him, regardless of the military and civilians. Throughout history, not to mention the generals of this era, even the civil rebels rarely opposed the Song Dynasty.

If you want to compete with the Jin Dynasty, the most important thing is to organize the power of the government and the opposition, and convert the power and material resources into military power. However, if you do not follow the Song Dynasty, it will be difficult to get the support of the people. If you follow the Song Dynasty, the emperor will not let you succeed.
