On the 26th day of the first lunar month, after all Eliduo's army retreated to Fengxiang Prefecture, he personally led 30,000 elite cavalry to attack Jingzhao Prefecture. Before the Jin army arrived, Wei Yang led his subordinates to retreat and retreated to Shangzhou through Lantian. The angry Eliduo chased after Lantian. However, with Wushu's lesson, he did not dare to attack Shangzhou again. After retreating to Jingzhao Prefecture, he sent more than 10,000 people to attack Guozhou.

When Wang Xiaolie received the news, he immediately ordered Shao Yun and others to retreat from Mianchi, join forces with him and then retreat to Lu's county. Xue Cheng led his troops to retreat to Ruzhou through Shou'an, and Li Songchen and Liang Xing led the Hedong rebel army to retreat to their own villages.

After entering Mianchi City, Wu Shu almost burst into tears when he looked at the empty city. In the past half month, food and grass were cut off, most of the horses in the army had been killed, and the bark of the surrounding grass roots and trees were stripped away. The back road was blocked by the Song army, and Wu Shu no longer sent troops to die and died at Mianchi City. Finally, the Song army withdrew its troops and came back to life.

Ali said: "King, the third prince has occupied Jingzhao Mansion, why don't we send troops to pursue the Song army? As long as they escape slowly, they will be attacked by both sides. At least they will be sucked out of the slightest breath they have suffered these days!"

Wu Shu shook his head: "Now the army is short of food, so it is serious to find food early. Where can the Song army escape? Sooner or later, it is just a ghost under our sword! Hurry up and meet with the third prince's army!"

All the generals obeyed the orders. No one said anything anymore.

Wu Shu escaped from heaven, and now he is not in a position to find trouble for Wang Xiaohu. Now the farther away, the better. Shao Yun's army retreated, and Wu Shu and his men were at least ten miles away, so they dared not approach.

In the Lu County Government, Wang Xiaoli said to Wang Ruohai: "Will Weiyang go smoothly? If we don't defend Lantian Pass, the Jin army will attack Shangzhou, but we have no choice. Shangzhou is close to Jingzhao Prefecture, so we should pay special attention there."

Wang Ruohai said: "With the lessons from Lu's County, the Jin army was much more cautious. After Oliduo occupied Lantian, he did not advance and retreated to Jingzhao Prefecture. Judging from the Jin army's posture, after recapturing Guanzhong, he might still attack Sichuan and Shu."

"This is the best." Wang Xiaolie smiled. "Attacking Sichuan and Shu, there were mountains all the way, not a place where the Jin cavalry showed their strengths. How could the Wu brothers and Yang Zheng and others be together? Without a large army in their hands, Zhang Shumi had no mistakes."

Wang Xiaoli remembers this. In history, the Jin army attacked Sichuan and Shu and was repelled by Wu Jie and Yang Zheng many times. Now that they have their own reinforcements, they will never be worse than in history. As long as they don’t attack Shangzhou, they will not have a big battle.

Starting from Jingzhao Prefecture, through Lantian, Shangzhou, Wuguan, Neixiang to Dengzhou and Xiangyang, it was an ancient important road called Wuguan Road. During the Tang Dynasty, this important road was particularly important for a period of time. The tax cloth of the Jianghuai River was mainly transported to Chang'an through this road, supporting the wind and snow-torn Tang Dynasty. This road was the main road that Dengzhou threatened Guanzhong.

When passing the Lu family heading north, it threatens Shanzhou, and the core of the strategy is Luoyang. Wuguan Road is different, and it directly threatens Jingzhao Prefecture.

Li Yanxian came in and said, "Shao Yun's army is already surrounded. We guard the Lu family, and the first place is Volcano Pass. The terrain there is rugged and it is difficult to station a large army. Only one thousand people are enough."

Wang Xiaolei said: "What the wise man said is. Come and do it, let's discuss the next situation."

The three of them sat down around the table and the soldiers came to tea.

Wang Xiaoliu said: "Lu's family is in the mountains, and it is inconvenient to transport food and grass. There should be too many troops here. I estimate that 3,000 to 5,000 people should be enough. When the Jin army attacks, if they hold on for a month or two, the army should arrive. Shangzhou is too far away, and the army can be more, but not too many. The distance to transport grain from Dengzhou is too far."

Wang Ruohai said: "What the policing said is that this battle recruited the civilians of Dengzhou and Tangzhou, and spent a lot of money. Fortunately, the war ended before the first lunar month. If it continues, it will be afraid that it will affect the spring plowing."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "We entered Guanzhong and robbed the Jin army's reserves. Otherwise, we wouldn't have spent the money now. After the war, we will calculate the seizure and then calculate the money we spent. This is a rare win."

Wang Ruohai smiled and said, "Yes. In addition to our tens of thousands of troops, we also supplied food and supplies from tens of thousands of rebels on Hedong Road. Where can we do it by seizing it? Dengzhou was not affected by any major war, which is really unexpected."

After chatting for a few words, Wang Xiaoli said: "We need to carefully plan how to arrange the next step. The Eliduo army cannot stay in Guanzhong for too long, otherwise it will be too wasteful. I guess when Wu Shu returns to Jingzhao Prefecture, Eliduo will lead the army to attack the west. Not to mention Sichuan and Shu, if Guanzhong is occupied, the Jin army will at least occupy Qinfeng Road. Long-distance combat is very expensive, and we will not be able to threaten Guanzhong in a short time."

Li Yanxian nodded: "It should be so. Now the Jin army is worried about us. As long as we do not send troops, the Jin army can be said to have no worries. If we cannot occupy Qinfeng Road, we will lose the geographical advantage. How can we occupy Guanzhong?"

Wang Xiaoli pondered for a while and said, "In short, for us, this battle is over. Without strong strength, we should try our best to avoid entering Guanzhong to fight the Jin army. It is too far to transport grain from Dengzhou. It consumes a lot of money and cannot support too much military force. If the Jin people do not have any flaws, it will be difficult for us to have any chance."

Wang Ruohai nodded: "What the scrupulous polite is. For us, Guanzhong is not a good battlefield."

Wang Xiaoli looked at Li Yanxian and said, "Maintain the strategy, if you withdraw from Shanzhou and Guozhou, your territory is too narrow. I still suggest that our two divisions unit unite one place. You can attack and retreat and defend, which is much stronger than now."

Li Yanxian pondered for a while and said, "If you join forces, what is the constitution for policing?"

Wang Xiaoliu said: "There is no constitution. Joining troops means joining troops, and there will be no distinction between each other in the future. I have a special military camp in Xinye, Dengzhou, which will uniformly train officers and soldiers. After joining troops, all the managed troops will be trained in Xinye, and they will be mixed with the rest of the troops. In other words, our two armies are completely mixed together, regardless of officers and soldiers."

Li Yanxian smiled bitterly: "Punishing, how should I reply if you say this? According to your statement, wouldn't it have annexed me?"

Wang Xiaoli shook his head repeatedly: "Our army defends the country and expels Jinluo, not owned by anyone. The strategy also saw that my army is different from ordinary army. After fighting a few battles, it seems that the combat effectiveness is guaranteed. Without training and then mixed up, the two armies will not be able to get together. In that case, it is better to not get along with each other than dreaming of the same bed and different dreams. If you want to join forces, you will be truly united."

Seeing Li Yanxian's face was very embarrassed. Wang Ruohai said: "After joining the army, will he take charge of any position?"

Wang Xiaoli said: "I plan to do this. After joining the army, our army will be reorganized and divided into five armies in front, back, left, right, and central. Li Jingluo is the commander of the central army and also serves as a member of the joint military affairs. I am the chief officer of our army and the deputy officer of the general. I do not want the same army to be divided into this force and that force. If so, I would rather not join the army!"

Li Yanxian nodded: "I understand the meaning of scruples. This is a big deal, so what if I think about it for three days?"

Wang Xiaolei said: "It should be like this. We should do big things. We must have great courage. I dare not say much about how the strategy is done. However, as long as we join forces, we must not be half-hearted! After so many days together, the strategy should know and I will say anything directly. Agree, that's it. If you don't agree, it's the same as now. Don't have any grudges in your heart!"

Li Yanxian looked at Wang Ruohai and shook his head and said, "It's only when I know how to slaughter this way that I will think about it again and again. Don't worry, I understand that I will definitely give you an answer in three days. Shaoxing will arrive in Lushi County tomorrow. We have to discuss such a major event."

Wang Ruohai said: "I was originally appointed by the imperial court to sentence the southwest road in Jingxi. When I first arrived, I had a lot of displeasure with the policing. After a long time, I knew that the policing was like this. It was uncomfortable to say something in front of me. When I worked together, everything would be fine."

Li Yanxian said: "I wanted to be a hero since I was a child, not a hesitant person. However, when I met the polite and spoke more simply, I seemed to be petty. There was no way, and the 20,000 troops had to ask the polite and wait."

Wang Xiaoli nodded. After a moment of silence, he said, "When this country is in trouble, I don't want to waste my energy on unnecessary things. No matter what, it is, it is, it is not, and don't be ambiguous. In the unpleasant words, don't play tricks when working together. This is called being villain first and then a gentleman. To be honest, many people cannot accept this method. So when I talk about cooperation, there are more times when the talk breaks down, and there are fewer times when the talk can be completed. After a long time, I rarely talk about cooperation with others. Now, when we work with the strategy, we benefit from both sides, and we have to talk about it. Thinking about this matter deeply, I am not afraid of waiting."

Li Yanxian bowed his hand and didn't know what to say for a moment. He has made friends with heroes since childhood, and there are too many people who speak straightforwardly. But like Wang Xiaoli, he has never seen him without bargaining.
