Starting from Ruicheng, they passed through Yongle Town, Nihe Town, and Wang Xiaolie arrived at Hezhong Mansion.

This road passes through the big bend of the Yellow River. The river is gentle and there are many ferries. It is a traditional strategic location. For example, Fenglingdu and Pubanjin are the main roads connecting Hedong and Shaanxi. However, since the pontoon bridge was built at Pubanjin

Later, the center of this area became Hezhong Prefecture.

Wang Xiaolie occupied Hezhong Prefecture for a short period of time and did not set up a prefect. Shao Xing, the commander of the Zuojun capital, also served as governor.

Upon hearing the arrival of Wang Xiaolie and others, Shao Xing led a group of officials to wait outside the city early. It was not until noon that Wang Xiaolie and others appeared in sight.

With a group of officials saluting, Shao Xing took Wang Xiaolian into Fucheng in the middle of the river. After a short rest in the government office, a banquet was held at the Stork Tower to welcome the wind.

On the third floor, Wang Xiaolie stood by the railing and watched the Yellow River flowing slowly not far away, with a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. He said to Wang Ruohai beside him: "If you want to see a thousand miles away, go up to the same floor.

The Stork Tower has been famous throughout the ages because of Wang Zhihuan's poem. Some people even think it is one of the four most famous towers in the world."

Wang Ruohai just said yes, a little confused.

During the Song Dynasty, the reputation of the Stork Tower was not obvious, and it was far from as famous as it would be in later generations. "Three Hundred Tang Poems" had not yet been compiled, and "Climbing the Stork Tower" was far from being a poem that everyone in later generations would recite. What are the Four Famous Towers?

, there is no such thing in this era. When it comes to Wang Xiaolie, Wang Ruohai doesn’t know where to start. It’s just that Wang Xiaolie’s status is high enough now, and no one will question him.

Of course Wang Ruohai knew about "Climbing the Stork Tower", but he had never heard of it being one of the four most famous towers in the world.

After looking at the scenery for a while, Wang Xiaolie and others took their seats.

Shao Xing said: "When Xuan Fu came, all the soldiers in Hezhong Prefecture were delighted! This year in Xijing, the Jin people suffered a setback, and the situation in Shaanxi is completely different."

Wang Xiaoxing said: "Wushu has withdrawn to the north. Now the enemies of Shaanxi, except for Sa Lihe, who have less than ten thousand people, are the puppet Qi soldiers and horses. Hezhong Prefecture is an important place and is the gateway of Qin and Jin Dynasties. We must not be careless."

Shao Xing said yes.

Wang Xiaoxing said: "The pontoon bridge on the Yellow River has been burned down, but when I looked out just now, there were ferries on the river. Who is guarding Tongzhou now?"

Shao Xing said: "Before Wu Shu withdrew, he ordered Zhang Zhongfu to be the envoy of Yongxing Military Route Manager and pacifier, and also to know the Jingzhao Prefecture. The person who knew Tongzhou was his general Zhao Bin."

Wang Xiao said with a smile: "Zhao Bin was originally a scholar and was a disciple of Qu Duan, and now he has become a general. These puppet troops in Shaanxi used to rely on the power of the Jin people and were not easy to deal with. Now Sa Lihe is in Jingyuan

There are almost no Jin people on the Yongxing Military Road, so it is not that difficult to deal with."

Shao Xing said: "This Zhao Bin is different from others, he is cunning, and after he voted for the Jin people, he especially hated us Song people. After coming to Tongzhou, many people along the river were moved away and signed as soldiers. This month, there was no peace.

"

Wang Xiaolie couldn't help but frowned after hearing this. He said: "Zhang Zhongfu was quite respectful when he arrived at Jingzhao Mansion and did not make any hostile moves against us. Why is Zhao Bin so ignorant? How many more years can the Jin people stay in Shaanxi?"

Doesn’t he think about his future?”

Shao Xing said: "Perhaps he thought that we just won by chance in Shaanzhou?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded. After thinking for a while, he said: "In that case, let's shoot the leader and deal with him! Most of the puppet generals on Shaanxi Road now are watching the situation from both ends. This Zhao

Since Bin is determined to go against the imperial court, he cannot be tolerated! If Zhao Bin is dealt with, the others will be much more honest."

Shao Xing's eyes lit up: "What does Xuanfu mean, is he asking me to cross the river and attack Tongzhou?"

Wang Xiaoxing said: "Zhao Bin is in Tongzhou, how many troops and horses does he have?"

Shao Xing said: "According to the spies' report, there should be more than 2,000 people. However, Tongzhou is not far from Yanzhou and Jingzhao Prefecture. I'm afraid they will send troops to help."

Wang Xiaolie said: "You have ten thousand troops in Hezhong Mansion. How many people do Zhang Zhongfu plan to send? I will stay here for a few more days and deal with Zhao Bin before leaving! The scope of this battle is east of Luoshui.

Take it all north of the Wei River and south of Liangshan!"

Shao Xing couldn't help but rub his hands after hearing this. He said: "Xuan Fu gave the order, and a humble official will naturally obey it!"

Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Ruohai: "The Jin army used puppet troops to guard eastern Shaanxi. Without a battle, it will be difficult to set the rules. Kill Zhao Bin and set an example for other surrendered generals in Shaanxi! Let them know that I

If we don’t occupy Shaanxi, we just don’t want to do it now. It’s not like they can fight!”

Wang Ruohai nodded and said: "Xuan Fu is right. In recent years, the Jin army has been all over the world and has few opponents. Even these surrendered generals feel that they are wise and powerful, and they are extraordinary people. If they want to attack Tongzhou, then

We have to do it cleanly and let others see what happens when we are our opponents!"

Wang Xiaolie nodded and said: "Let's do this. Starting from tomorrow, we will set up a headquarters in Hezhong Fuya. Shao Dutong will make up for the manpower we lack and formulate a battle plan first. Okay, it's getting late, let's eat.

."

When Shaoxing heard that Tongzhou was going to be attacked, he was very excited and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to serve wine.

Looking at the Yellow River carp placed in the middle, Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Ruohai: "Walking along the Yellow River, there must be Yellow River carp every time. No matter how rare it is in the world, I can't bear to eat it every day. But in various places,

If you don't catch this carp, it's not the way to treat guests."

Wang Ruohai said: "What can be done? It's like this everywhere in the world. Fortunately, the carp here is really delicious, and it's not comparable to other places."

Wang Yan said: "The carp in the Yellow River is indeed rare in the world, and there is no such good thing anywhere else. Not far from here, Hejin County was originally called Longmen. It is said that carp leaping over the Dragon Gate will turn into a dragon. Of course, the host will use such a good thing to entertain guests.

"

Wang Xiaolie said: "That makes sense. It's just that I'm a little tired of eating this carp every day."

In the Song Dynasty, fish was a vegetable, not considered meat, and could be enjoyed by monks. It was regarded as a way for vegetarian monks to supplement their meat diet.

At this time, although the name of Guanque Tower was not as well-known as it was in later generations, it was still a major attraction in Hezhong Prefecture. After Wang Xiaolie occupied this place, Qingfeng Xu Lai, a high-end restaurant owned by Xuanfu Division, came here and wanted to take over the place.

This place has been converted into a high-end restaurant. It is currently being renovated and will open soon.

Industries such as restaurants may seem to make money, but in fact, among the industries under the control of Xuanfu Division, they cannot bring in a lot of money. Wang Xiaolie insisted that Xuanfu Division has always had several chain stores, and the main purpose is not to make money.

Rather, we should use these restaurants to promote local development.
