On the day before the New Year, Lin Xuexue's home suddenly became lively. Deputy Commander Pan Lu personally led the military personnel, and together with Zhang Qi, many military tents were set up around the courtyard. Pots and stoves were also set up next to the bamboo forest.

Food was delivered.

At Lin Xueguo's house, Pan Lu personally directed three soldiers to clean up the house inside and out. Not only the empty house, but also the house where Lin Xueguo lived was also cleaned.

Seeing that Pan Lu was idle, Lin Xuexuan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Captain, please take a rest and drink a cup of tea."

Pan Lu said: "How dare you disturb the academics? The rules in our army are that when you stay in people's homes temporarily, you have to help people clean the house and do necessary odd jobs. For example, the water in the water tank must be full, repairs can be made, and many other things

.If there is anything inappropriate, feel free to mention it.”

"How dare you, how dare you!" Lin Xuexuan waved his hands hurriedly. "It is my blessing that you are discussing things in my home!"

Pan Lu said: "There is no need to be polite to academics. This is the rule in the army and must be done. To be honest, many of the soldiers in our army have not been in the army for a long time and do not understand why they do this. But as officials, we must

Understand. We are the army of Dengzhou, which is different from other places. The governor often said that the people are water and we are fish. This is called the fish-water situation between the army and the people."

Academic Lin laughed when he heard this. He had never heard of this before, and he didn’t know who came up with this idea. He didn’t know what its use was, and he didn’t believe it could really be done. But one thing he knew for sure was that this was an anti-Japanese force.

Jin's team, that's enough.

At noon, people attending the meeting gradually arrived.

The Hedong Rebel Army is divided into three parts. One is the rebel army centered on Lingshi led by Li Songchen and Li Shi. The other is the rebel army centered on Zezhou led by Liang Xing and Zhao Yun. There are also those who are not within these two systems.

of the rebels.

Lingshi guarded the road from Taiyuan Prefecture to Hezhong Prefecture, blocking the main road from Hedong to Shaanxi. Zezhou guarded the road from Taiyuan to Luoyang, just as Hedong entered the Central Plains. These two teams guarded the two sides of Hedong Road.

The door is the most important. The others are less important.

After meeting Pan Lu, the three teams gathered together and chatted.

It wasn't until noon that day that a scout came to report, and Wang Ruohai and his party arrived soon after.

Pan Lu led the leaders of the rebels and came out of the valley early. He saw a dozen cavalry approaching. Xue Cheng and Shao Yun were accompanied by a scholar in front, and most of the cavalry behind were unfamiliar faces, presumably from the Zhenfu Envoy Division.

.

Everything was done as expected, and everyone gathered around Wang Ruohai outside Lin Xuexue's courtyard.

Seeing such a large formation, Lin Xuexiu had been waiting outside the courtyard gate to see who was coming. He saw the man in the middle, about thirty years old, with a medium build. Although he was smiling, he had a kind of majesty.

After getting off his horse outside the courtyard gate, Zhang Qi whispered to Wang Ruohai: "The person standing outside the courtyard gate is Lin Xuexue."

Wang Ruohai nodded. He stepped forward and bowed his hands to Lin Xuejun and said, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused by borrowing Xuexue's yard for the past two days."

After saying that, a soldier from behind came up and held a gift box in both hands. Wang Ruohai took the gift box and handed it to Lin Xuexiu: "I have prepared some small gifts here. Xuexiu, don't dislike it. I heard Zhang Qi said that Xuexi Amore Tea was specially brought with him.

Come."

Lin Xuexue took the gift box and tea and hurriedly thanked him. Seeing a bunch of people standing there, knowing that Wang Ruohai had something to do, he hurriedly left.

In the yard, a temporary shed was built on both sides of the central corridor. Several fire pots were lit around the shed as a place for discussion.

When they arrived at the shed, Wang Ruohai stood in the middle. Looking at everyone, he said in a deep voice: "It's already noon. Please have some soup and rice. We will start discussing things soon. We came to Mianchi this time because the battle in Mianchi is of great importance.

, there can’t be any mistakes. The governor and governor have important matters and cannot leave Guozhou, so they asked me to come and explain it clearly to you. Okay, we’ll talk about it later.”

Everyone sat down one after another. Pan Lu ordered the soldiers to get the cooked meals.

Rice is a habit among Wang Xiao's hunting army. At this time, it is always a bowl of noodles with a poached egg in it and a few slices of vegetables. Lin Xueguo planted a small piece of spinach in a sunny place. Pan Lu bought it and put it in each bowl.

There are several trees in each.

The taste of the noodles was a little bland. But it tasted very good and everyone ate it up quickly.

The soldiers collected the noodle bowls and served tea. This year it is popular in the army to drink jasmine tea. It is packed in a large enamel jar, washed with boiling water, covered tightly, and placed in front of everyone.

Broadly speaking, enamel includes enamel, which has been developed in China since the Tang Dynasty. However, Wang Xiao's hunting army used cast iron enamel, which was fired in Ruzhou. Ruzhou was one of the centers of porcelain production at this time, and there was a cast iron blank

, firing is not difficult. In this era, iron is still very expensive, and with the new technology, it is much more expensive than ordinary porcelain, but much cheaper than bronze. The main purpose of developing enamel is to improve the quality of life.

It can replace copper utensils in supplies and reduce the price of copper. The limited copper is either used directly as currency or as industrial raw materials. It is too luxurious to make daily necessities.

Jiang Min, together with several people, quickly hung up a simple situation diagram behind Wang Ruohai and set up a blackboard.

Wang Ruohai stood in front of the situation map, looked at everyone, and said: "A few days ago, everyone was anxious to encircle Wushu, and several official documents were sent to Guozhou a day. The governor thought about it repeatedly and carefully considered it, and felt that now is not the time to eliminate Wushu.

But this opportunity is too good. If I don’t speak clearly, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it. Even if I hold it back for a moment, I’m still not convinced. So I’m sent here and I request that I explain clearly to you why Wushu cannot be eradicated.

, how will the battle in Mianchi be fought?"

After speaking, Wang Ruohai pointed to the situation map and said: "Jinlu's southern invasion is divided into east and west lines. The coach of the east road was originally Yi Libu, but after the death of Yi Libu, he was replaced by Yinliduo. The coach of the west road was Nianhan.

, the original administration of Shaanxi was based on Lou Su. After Lou Su’s death, his son Wan Yan Hui Nu ruled the country.”

The leaders all nodded after hearing this. This is the situation of the Jin Dynasty. It is said that those who lead the troops should know it. In fact, it is not the case. Not only the rebels in Hedong, but also many officials and generals of the Song Dynasty. They can't even name these people clearly. Even the people of the Jin Dynasty.

Many people are confused about who the emperor is, who is in power, and what is the relationship between these people. Even the name of the general of the Jin Kingdom has different opinions and has many translations.

Wang Ruohai said: "Although Nianhan also has the surname Wanyan, he is not a member of the Jin Kingdom's clan, but the eldest son of his former prime minister Sa Gai. When the Liao Dynasty was destroyed, Nianhan made great achievements and was a powerful force in the Jin Kingdom.

In Kaifeng Mansion, Nianhan contributed a lot and his power increased greatly. During the invasion of the South, the Jin people established the Yunzhong Privy Council in Yunzhong, with Shi Liai presiding over the affairs of the court. In Yanjing, they also established the Yanjing Privy Council, with Liu Yanzong

Presided over the affairs of the court. These two privy councils were called the Eastern and Western Privy Councils by the Jin people. For a long time, the Yunzhong Privy Council was very powerful. When the envoys of this dynasty went to the Jin Kingdom to discuss matters, they always went to Yunzhong first and met Nianhan.

Only then did we go north again. Most of the time, Nianhan made the decision with one word, and there was no follow-up."

After hearing this, the leaders felt a sudden realization. After fighting for so long, they didn't know there were so many stories behind it.

Wang Ruohai said: "Nianhan is a force of its own. The Zhenfu called the Jin generals who belonged to Nianhan the Nianhan clan, and they were the West Route Army. At first, the East Route Army was led by the second prince of the Jin State, who was not in charge.

Later, with the third prince Yin Liduo as commander, the governor called the East Route Army the prince's line."

At this time, Emperor Wu Qimai of the Jin Kingdom was the brother of Taizu Aguda. He did not establish a prince, and he had plans to pass the throne to Taizu. Therefore, the prince of the Jin Kingdom was the son of Aguda, not the true prince of the Jin Kingdom.

Customary title.

Wang Ruohai said: "We cannot think that the Jin Kingdom is monolithic and there are no conflicts among the generals. The biggest and most obvious contradiction now is the conflict between the Nianhan clan and the Prince clan. After the Kaifeng Mansion was destroyed, the West Road Nian clan

Rare used Wanyan Yinshu to invade the south, and once conquered Xiangyang Prefecture. He also used Lou Su to invade the west and conquered Jingzhao Prefecture. On the east road, he used Hualibu as the commander, occupying the east and west roads of Jingdong, and invaded the two Huaihe Rivers in the south.

The current situation on the Jingxi Road is that the Zhenfu and Luoyang Zhai Zhenfu troops occupy the south road, while the north road is still occupied by the Jin Army. The Shaanxi Road is different. After many places were conquered by Lousu, they were quickly recovered by the dynasty.

.Compared with the East Road, half of the Jingxi Road was originally recovered, and most of the Shaanxi Road was recovered. On the other hand, we cannot restore the Jingdong Road occupied by the Jin people, and even this year there will be a disaster of searching mountains and seas. The donor

Taking this as an excuse, he ordered the army from the east to come west, with Nian Liduo as commander, to attack Shaanxi. After the Battle of Fuping, the morale of the prince's family was at a high level at this time."

Below, Li Songchen and Liang Xing couldn't help but nod together, feeling like they suddenly understood. In the past, they only knew that the Jin people came from the south, and they would fight to the death when they encountered them. In fact, they didn't make it clear who they were and what their purpose was. Now listen to Wang

When Ruo Hai speaks, it is as if the clouds are cleared and the sun appears.

Wang Ruohai said: "Wushu was the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, and he was in the Eastern Route Army. Needless to say, he was part of the prince line. It is obvious that in a few years, the prince line has grown into a force alongside Nianhan, and has the upper hand.

We cannot do without the support of the gold master. The status of Wushu in the Jin Kingdom is more important than we thought. If we destroy the Wushu forces in this battle, or even kill Wushu, we will probably face the overwhelming army of the Jin Kingdom.

!”

Having said this, Wang Ruohai looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The governor believes that our current power is really not able to withstand such an attack. The great situation in Dengzhou, Xiangyang, will be ruined if we are not careful!"

Having said this, not only the rebel generals, but also Xue Cheng and Shao Yun understood why this time was so grand. They even regretted in their hearts, as they had been too hasty in the past few days.

This time the Jin State launched a large-scale attack on Shaanxi, not only because Lou Su was ineffective and occupied many prefectures and counties in the Song Dynasty repeatedly. More importantly, the gold master Wu Qimai intended to support the prince's line and suppress the Nianhan line. If he was killed in Mianchi
Chapter completed!
