Chapter 527
Standing at the Tianjin Bridge, Wang Xiaolie did not speak for a long time.
The word "Tianjin" in Tianjin Bridge does not mean the ferry that the emperor passed by. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built Luoyang City, the designers Yang Su and Yu Wenkai were well versed in Feng Shui and understood celestial phenomena. They made Luoyang City look like Ziwei Palace, the residence of the Emperor of Heaven, and Luoshui looked like the Milky Way.
, this bridge was called "Tianjin Bridge". Tianjin means the Milky Way in the sky.
Luoyang during the Sui and Tang Dynasties was not only extremely prosperous, but also more interesting than other ancient capitals because it was built with a mysterious color by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
"I remember those days when the grass was flying, and the monks were dressed in iron clothes. There was no one on the Tianjin Bridge, and I was leaning against the railing to watch the sunset."
After reciting, Wang Xiaolie couldn't help but smile bitterly. He said to Li Yanxian: "I don't know how many poems were written about this bridge, but when I got here, the only one I remembered was Huang Chao. This failed scholar was killed from south to north and buried.
Who can clearly explain the merits and demerits of the Tang Dynasty? If the Tang Dynasty had not been decadent, how could it have become a Huang Chao? If there had been no Huang Chao, how could the Tang Dynasty be unable to deal with it all at once?"
Li Yanxian said: "How can there be many things in the world that are completely clear? Black and white are originally mixed together. It only depends on how people's eyes can distinguish them."
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "You are right. This world is originally a mixture of black and white, and it is impossible for human eyes to distinguish clearly. When you think you can see clearly, you may have been wrong. Speaking of which, Sui Yang
The emperor's ambitions are great and his talents are sparse,
He tormented a country to the point where the people had no life, and finally ruined the world. But his ambition did leave many remarkable things to future generations. When Luoyang City was built, the palace city was like the Ziwei Palace, and Luoshui was like the Milky Way.
People admire it.”
Wang Ruohai said: "Jie Commander values this city so much, why not go in and take a tour?"
Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Go past the Tianjin Bridge. After passing the Duanmen is the Imperial City, and then past the Wufeng Tower is the Palace City. It's not an ordinary place. We'd better go back first and come over to see it when we have free time. We're busy with this.
It’s time to take a good rest. Of course I have to go to the government office.”
Li Yanxian and Wang Ruohai laughed together. They followed Wang Xiaolie and left Tianjin Bridge.
The Henan government office is located in Linyuanfang. It was Zhang Quanyi who moved here during the late Tang Dynasty for Henan Yinshi. During the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty, Zhang Quanyi moved to Luoyang, rebuilt the capital and took credit for his contribution to the government. There is a monument to his virtue and governance in the government office. It was only for the Jin army.
After Luoyang was conquered, the Henan government office had been abandoned for a long time. Meng Bangxiong only cleaned it up hastily, and it was still a dilapidated scene.
Arriving in front of the official hall, Wang Xiaolie saw that the white magnolias in front of the court were already blooming and were about to bloom. He said to Li Yanxian: "We came north. It was still winter when we set out, and it was already mid-spring when we arrived in Luoyang. Now it's mid-spring.
This battle is really touching!"
"Yes. The real battle actually lasted less than ten days. Most of the time, we were waiting!" Thinking of Zhai Xing, Li Yanxian was also filled with emotion.
Entering the official hall, the soldiers had been cleaned up, but the side room was still busy.
Wang Xiaoxing said: "Meng Bangxiong is dead, Meng Bangjie has surrendered, and the battle of Luoyang is over. Tonight, I will recruit generals above the commander level to celebrate my victory. Since I raised my army, Luoyang is the largest city I have occupied. I think of that time.
Going south from here is really full of emotions!”
Wang Ruohai said yes and went to make arrangements himself.
He ordered the soldiers to kill two sheep and ten chickens to prepare a banquet. Wang had no trouble hunting at night, so he stepped forward and ordered the soldiers how to roast them.
In the afternoon, the deputy commander of the capital Zhang Yin, the commander of the Chinese army Yuan Ji, the staff officer Xu Changxing, the left Yu Hou Lin Wei, the right Yu Hou Tian Cheng, and the secretary Zheng Tianguang arrived, and the official hall immediately became lively. Several people sat on the fire
They were chatting and laughing. Not long after, Zhang Chi, Chi Yuping, Zhang Zhen, Chen Hai, Gao Xin and other governors and governors arrived and formed a large circle, making the atmosphere even more lively.
The soldiers served wine. Wang Xiaolie raised his glass and said: "This battle lasted two and a half months. Although we paid a price, we finally won the victory. Let's prepare some wine and meat here tonight to celebrate for everyone! Time is short and simple.
These, please don’t complain!”
Everyone was busy saying they didn't dare, so they raised their glasses together.
He raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp. Wang Xiaoxian said: "Meng Bangxiong is just a wanderer in the countryside. By chance, he became the general manager. He has no strategy and his army is unorganized. It is not easy to defeat him and occupy Luoyang.
Difficult. The difficult part is that the puppet Qi and Jin armies will definitely send troops to retake Luoyang next. Only by defeating the reinforcements and truly firmly occupying Luoyang can we say victory. So you all have to work hard in the days to come!"
Everyone said yes together.
Looking at the crowd, Wang Xiaolie said: "We have not crossed Funiu Mountain, but we have been on the defensive. Even if we attack occasionally, it is to save others. Now that we have crossed Funiu Mountain and occupied Luoyang City, we are on the offensive. Between offense and defense
After the change, many places will be different. Have fun tonight, and tomorrow, you will have to work hard. Defeat the reinforcements of the Jin Army, and we must firmly occupy this thousand-year-old Luoyang City!"
Everyone made the promise together.
Wang Xiaoyou sat down and said to everyone: "Okay, let's drink wine and eat meat, and everyone can enjoy themselves!"
Everyone said hello together. Li Yanxian took the lead and drank a full glass of wine.
After three rounds of drinking, the rules slowly dropped and the atmosphere became more and more lively. Li Yanxian and Zhang Zhen, the two best drinkers, started drinking together.
Wang Xiaolie looked at everyone and felt that he was in a particularly comfortable mood. This was his favorite scene. Everyone drank freely and freely. At this time, there was no identity of superiors and subordinates. The difference between you and me was only the enthusiasm of letting go.
Wang Xiaolie was drinking in silence and eating a big charcoal-grilled catfish by himself. Wang Xiaolie rarely spoke. After all, Wang Xiaolie was a boring person and was not good at stirring up the atmosphere. At this time, he was more like a bystander.
Or, watching everyone lively there.
Wang Ruohai moved his body and sat next to Wang Xiaolie, making room for Li Yanxian. He held a skewer of meat and chewed it slowly.
Unlike Wang Xiaolie, Wang Ruohai not only dislikes this kind of scene, but also has some disdain for people drinking together. In his opinion, people should remember their identity at all times and should not do anything illegal. Fortunately,
After being with Wang Xiaolie for a long time, I learned to watch from the sidelines.
The soldiers brought up a plate of dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and meat, and a plate of scrambled eggs with Chinese toon, and placed them in front of Wang Xiaolie and Wang Ruohai. At this time, the others were drinking and eating meat, so who had the time to eat these things.
After eating a dumpling, Wang Ruohai said: "Jie Shuai, what are the arrangements next?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "It is already February, when everything sprouts, and it is also the time for spring plowing. But for the Jin people, as long as it is not the hot weather in May and June, it is the time to use troops. In this season, Puppet Qi wants to sign
The common people serve as an army, and some
Difficulty. The number of reinforcements sent should not be too large. On the contrary, the Jin Army from Shaanxi will not care about the life and death of the people, and may come with a large army. However, the Shaanxi Jin Army does not exceed 60,000 people, and can send 40,000 people.
It’s already very bold.”
Wang Ruohai said: "With Privy Council Zhang here, Shaanxi will definitely not send so many people here."
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "According to normal estimates, the Jin army from Shaanxi should be between 20,000 and 30,000. Wu Shu has fought with us before and did not take advantage. He should not send tens of thousands of people to die. But we must maintain the army from Shaanxi.
Given the situation, there won’t be too many troops dispatched. Twenty to thirty thousand people will be dispatched. According to the Jin people’s previous experience, all the troops in this dynasty will not be able to stop them. But now, the situation is different.”
Wang Ruohai said: "What Commander Jie said is that if there are twenty or thirty thousand people coming, I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything to us."
Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "Since we came from Funiu Mountain, we can't take the same offensive as before. If the Jin army only comes with 20,000 to 30,000 people, we must have the courage to let them never come back! We were surrounded once in Mianchi
Wu Shu, the timing is not right, so I have to let him go. If you ask me to surround you again, I will never let them go!"
"Annihilating 20,000 to 30,000 Jin troops in one battle is something that has never been done by anyone in this dynasty. If Commander Jie can really annihilate the Jin army, no one in the world would dare to underestimate us!" Wang Ruohai was a little excited, and his voice was trembling.
