Wo Zai's father, Ma Ji, was Yin Shuke's mother-in-law. He joined the army at the age of seventeen and stayed with Ba Lisu. Over the years, he had repeatedly made military exploits and gained Ba Lisu's trust. Unexpectedly, he died outside the city of Shaanzhou.

, why is it not sad to send someone with white hair to someone with black hair?

He stood up, walked out of the official hall, and looked at the long sky.

A red sun has already set in the west, and the clouds in the western sky are painted with a golden edge. The tall locust trees beside the wall are already lush, and summer is here before you know it.

Ba Lisu let out a long sigh and walked into the yard, feeling a little hesitant for a moment.

About 6,000 people were sent across the Yellow River today, but almost all of them were wiped out. They didn't even reach Pinglu City. What should we do next? Ba Lisu didn't know. If the Song Army in the west occupied Lingbao City, the Song Army would not come back.

Wait, they will definitely attack the city. Looking at the power of their cannons, how can the city wall of Shaanzhou be able to stop them?

Ever since he joined the army, Ba Lisu had never experienced such a moment. In the past, he was very high-spirited and killed heartily on the battlefield. He only thought about how to prevent the enemy from escaping. How could he have imagined that he would end up in a sleepy city?

In Linru Town, Hu Jiaoxiu and Zheng Chen were sitting in the lounge on the second floor, watching the people coming and going outside. Although it was a town, it was very lively here.

Linru Town is right on the south-going road from Luoyang. Whether the army is transporting supplies or merchants traveling from north to south, they all pass through here. There are many shops in the town and the streets are full of people. It is a prosperous place.

The boy served the mutton soup and said to the two of them: "Sir, the mutton soup here is delicious, not smelly or fishy, ​​and is famous far and wide. If you try it, you will definitely like it. A few fresh vegetables, you can drink with it.

.”

Hu Jiao said: "Okay, you can put it here. By the way, here are two more cakes, let's soak them and eat them."

The boy agreed and walked down quickly.

Hu Jiaoxiu said to Zheng Chen: "If it were a peaceful time, this would be a good place. Goods from the north and south are available, and the food is delicious. It is really rare. But now, even in a place like this, troops are often seen passing by, which is really worrying.

.”

Zheng Chen said: "That's right. When we came to Luoyang this time, we didn't expect that the Jin army would attack. It really made people unhappy."

After that, he poured a glass of wine for the two of them.

Just as I raised my glass, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside. Looking towards the street, I saw several fast horses galloping towards me. Several people were holding bamboo poles with big characters written on them. I couldn't see clearly what was written on them.

After reading the word, most of the people hurried away, leaving only one person holding a bamboo pole and a few empty-handed people.

The knight holding the bamboo pole took a few breaths and shouted loudly: "Great victory in Shaanzhou!"

Upon hearing the victory, the people around him quickly gathered around and listened to the knight's words.

The knight loudly said: "Golden thieves have a wolf nature, and they invade the Central Plains. They ruined the states and counties and killed the people. Their crimes are too numerous to mention! The commander of the festival rebelled and revolted in Fuzhou County. Bo Enyi was everywhere. At the beginning of the year, he personally led the army to the north and restored Xijing.

The people of the Central Plains cleared the clouds and saw the sun again, and saw the king again! The Shaanxi gold thieves pulled out of the speed, gathered a heavy army, and planned to attack Xijing from Shaanzhou. The commander of the army sent a large army to fight. Lai's entire army followed his orders, and on April 13th, they defeated the Jin army in Shaanzhou.

We killed 129 generals from the Jin Dynasty and captured 351 people. We killed 15,261 Jin soldiers and captured 8,515 people. This is sincerity.

This unprecedented victory since Jingkang should boost the morale of the Han people and strengthen their confidence in victory. Therefore, it will be exposed to the world and everyone will know it!"

After reciting it, he rested for a while and then recited it again. Then he raised the bamboo pole high and led his men quickly out of the town and headed east.

Hu Jiaoxiu looked straight at Zheng Chen. After a while, he said: "D-Jie?"

Zheng Chen nodded: "Yes, a great victory -"

After saying that, tears flowed out unconsciously.

Since Jingkang, the Jin army's southern invasion has been like entering uninhabited territory. Except for a slight setback at the Sichuan-Shaanxi border, no one can challenge it. In the Song Dynasty, both officials and common people were like a big stone blocking their chests. Whether they rose up or

Just living an ignoble life means facing the reality that you can't defeat the Jin Army. If you can't defeat the Jin Army on the battlefield, you just can't defeat it. No matter how many words you say, no matter how big the oath you make, you have to face this reality.

But today, Wang Xiaolie completely annihilated Li Su in a battle in Shaanzhou, which no one dared to think of.

After a while, Hu Jiaoxiu raised his glass and drank it in one gulp. He said: "There are more than 20,000 people in Ba Lisu. One or two years ago, he could dominate the world, and no one could defeat him. Today in Shaanzhou, Jieshuai can fight."

Total annihilation! What more can be said? Drive out the golden thieves and restore the Central Plains, just around the corner!"

Zheng Chen held the wine glass and swallowed it in one gulp. He said: "This sincerity is just around the corner, it's just around the corner!"

Hu Jiaoxiu put down his wine glass and said: "Let's eat quickly and get on the road, rushing to Luoyang City at night! Faced with such a great achievement, the reward we brought is far from enough! When we arrived in Luoyang, I saw Wang Xiaolie, so I wrote to the court that he should be rewarded again.

It’s a fixed reward!”

Zheng Chen nodded repeatedly and was speechless for a moment.

Walking on the road these days, Hu Jiaoxiu and Zheng Chen were very conflicted. They had to go to Luoyang to meet Wang Xiaolie. But the Jin army came to attack, who knew how long Wang Xiaolie could hold out? If they arrived in Luoyang,

The Jin army approached the city, and their luck was really bad. As for Wang Xiaolie being able to repel the Jin army, the two of them did not dare to think about it. They did not expect that Wang Xiaolie could send troops to Shaanzhou to fight, and even killed Ba Lisu.

To be honest, Wang Xiaolie's announcement was written in plain language, not in the common 46 style of writing, and was not suitable for formal official government documents. But at this time, who cares about those falsehoods? The people just want to hear this, and they will understand it as soon as they hear it.

In particular, Shi indeed wrote how many golden generals were killed, how many golden soldiers were killed, and how many people were captured, which really boosted morale. After many years of fighting, it was the first time that the people of the world heard such a happy announcement.

Just after finishing the mutton soup, he heard crackling sounds from outside. Zheng Chen stretched his head out to look for a while and said: "It turns out that someone set off firecrackers! This is a great victory, and everyone should celebrate it!"

Hu Jiaoxiu said: "We are traveling, otherwise I would have wanted to set off firecrackers."

After getting off the restaurant, his subordinates went over to do the accounting. The host said: "The commander-in-chief Lu Bu has reported victory. We have won a great victory in Shaanzhou! This is the time when the whole world is celebrating. How can I collect your money? All the money from those who were in the store just now is free!"

I have lived a high life for decades, and I have never been as happy as I am today!"

As soon as the words came out, the diners in the store cheered together

Hu Jiaoxiu said with a smile: "In that case, I'd like to thank the host. We have to hurry up and get to Luoyang as soon as possible to see what it's like there."

The master told the boy to go to the shop on the street and buy two firecrackers.

When we walked onto the road, the sound of firecrackers on the street was endless. The pedestrians on the road were in high spirits and their voices were much higher than usual.

Wang Xiaolie stood at the foot of the steps of the Henan Mansion Office in Luoyang City, looking at the fireworks outside. He said to Wang Ruohai: "It's still daytime, and it's a pity that we can't see the colorful fireworks. If the people want to celebrate, you can

Wait until night?"

Wang Ruohai said: "Who can afford to wait? After so many years, more than 20,000 golden soldiers have been killed in one battle. The people have been waiting for such a victory for too long."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes, people have waited too long for this victory. The war lasted for six or seven years, with defeat after defeat and no hope. This kind of life is really difficult. Judging from the battle of Shaanzhou

, the Jin Army is not as strong as we thought. We cannot win on the battlefield because we are too weak."

Wang Ruohai nodded, said nothing, and looked up at the fireworks outside.

The Jin army is indeed strong, there is no need to deny this. But the Song army is so weak, it can only be said to be its own problem, and there is no excuse. The Jin army was born in the land of white mountains and black waters.

This is a fact. However, the war is not about who can endure hardship more, nor is it about who is less afraid of death. War requires victory, and what does victory require? Who is more fearless of death compared with the enemy? Of course not. War is about organization.

and discipline, comparing who can abide by discipline better and who can plan more carefully.
