Just as dawn, Shao Ling assembled the army outside the city. Wang Xiaoliuaijie learned about Linong and Cao Zhiyan to see him off.

Baofeng arrived at Mount Lu for 60 miles. Today, we marched urgently on a day, rested overnight, and arrived at Mount Lu for the morning. This was decided. There were spies in front of us who explored the way, and there were no obstacles along the way.

At this moment, a fast horse came from the south. He arrived nearby like a meteor and was stopped by Shao Ling's cavalry. Soon, a small school came to Shao Ling and crossed his hands and said, "Report! Niu Gao, Lushan, is here, and he said that he will be in Baofeng today to meet the magistrate!"

Shao Ling was shocked and was stunned for a moment. After a while, he ordered the school to go back and came to Wang Xiaoli.

After hearing what Shao Ling reported, Wang Xiaolie didn't know what to say. Why was it so coincidental that he was going to send troops and Niu Gao came.

After thinking about it, Wang Xiaolei said, "Since that's the case, there is no need to send troops. You 300 people camp outside the city and wait for Niu Gao to come. Everything goes well, so as to pacify Mount Lu and ensure the safety of the passage between Wanluo."

After saying that, Wang Xiaoli couldn't help but shake his head. The world was really surprisingly. He took Jie Linong and Cao Zhiyan back to Baofeng County.

In the afternoon, Niu Gao brought more than fifty soldiers to Baofeng. The soldiers stayed outside the city and entered the city by himself to meet Wang Xiaowei.

Wang Xiaoli welcomed outside the county government early. When he saw Niu Gao coming, he quickly stepped forward and said, "I am ashamed to be the inspector of Laoniu, I dare not take it!"

Niu Gao hurriedly got off his horse, crossed his hands and sang a promise. He whispered: "I should have come to see you early when the magistrate took office. But there are so many things happening recently, and it has been delayed for so many days. It is rare for the magistrate to be unwilling to be a magistrate!"

While speaking, he saluted solemnly.

Wang Xiao hunted and returned the gift and led Niu Gao into the county government.

The guest and host were seated, and Wang Xiao took the lead: "Master Lu was ordered to guard Xijing, and he was most worried about the safety of the road to Dengzhou. I specially ordered me to come to Ruzhou, and Baolushan Pass was fine. Just come. As long as you guard Lushan County, you will be smooth to Dengzhou."

Niu Gao said: "When the magistrate fights Yong'an and defends Gong County again, who doesn't know that he is a hero! If the magistrate is here, he will keep the safety of the whole country."

Wang Xiaoli smiled and said a few polite words. He came to tea, invited tea, and chatted with Niu Gao.

After a long time, Wang Xiaolei said: "My army is different from other places. We cannot do our own affairs and must be reorganized before we can join the army. It is best if your subordinate army is transferred to Baofeng within five days and be incorporated into the army. Like Shao Ling and others, you should be the commander. How about it?"

After hearing this, Niu Gao hesitated for a moment. He knew it was impossible to change, so he had to cross his hands and say, "I will follow the orders of the governor!"

Wang Xiaoli nodded: "This is the best. Boyuan, you will understand in the future that we must do this. Only by gathering into a strong army can we fight to the death with the Jin people. If we divide the troops, how can we be the opponent of the Jin people's army? Don't worry, everything in our army is fair, and there is no need to worry."

Niu Gao hurriedly said, "Don't dare."

After looking at the sky, Wang Xiaolei said, "Prepare some wine and meat tonight to wash away the dust for you. If you can come, most of the things in Ruzhou will be settled, and there is nothing difficult. After a few days, I will take Wang Jun and plan the place well."

Niu Gao said: "Wang Jun has tens of thousands of people and the surrounding forces do not take it seriously. How can he obey the orders?"

Wang Xiaolei said: "Since I am under my rule, I should obey my orders. Otherwise, how can I manage the local area? Although Wang Jun has many soldiers, there is no need to worry too much. When our army is reorganized, we will go and treat him."

Niu Gao said yes. He just muttered in his heart that Wang Xiaoli said this a little too big.

Wang Xiaoli is not talking big. Over the past few days, he has found out the truth and reality of Wang Jun. What a tens of thousands of troops are just entangled with thousands of people who flee, and more than 200 Song army deserters. I wonder if there are a thousand people who are truly combat-capable. Wang Jun is not well-known in history, so he dealt with it early.

After these days, Wang Xiaoli discovered a rule. Most of those who like to falsely report the number of people are not good people. Most of the people who leave their names in history do not like false reports. Although this rule is not very accurate, it can be used as a reference.

The sun sets westward, and in the backyard of Baofeng County Government, Wang Xiaoli sets up a banquet to welcome Niu Gao.

When the wine and food came up, Wang Xiao hunted: "All things are difficult at this time, don't think it's simple. Today, I slaughtered a sheep and a pig to prepare some village wine. When I return to Ruzhou, everything is ready, I will invite you at that time."

Niu Gao hurriedly said: "The magistrate has put his heart into it. How dare you take it if you have not made any contributions in the last time?"

He ordered the soldiers to pour wine, and Wang Xiaoli said, "When the Jin people came south and others fled, it would be easy for you to gather the villagers to protect themselves? At this time, state affairs are difficult, and we, those who care about state affairs, need to work together to protect the country and the people!"

After saying that, he raised the wine bowl and drank it all in one go.

Niu Gao drank the wine. Put down the bowl and told Wang Xiao: "I will only take a bad thing. I love wine the most in my life. I drink too much later. If there is any place that violates the etiquette, I hope the magistrate will not blame him."

Wang Xiaoli nodded: "Where do you get so many rules when drinking! Just enjoy yourself, don't think too much."

At this time, drinking in the officialdom was different from later generations. Whether it was the monarch and ministers, or superiors and subordinates, they did not follow the rules when they were drunk. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of Zhenzong, they often had everything and did not have the etiquette of the monarch and ministers. Kou Zhun liked to drink. Every time he drank with his subordinates, he would surround him with a large curtain and light a candle inside, making people wonder when they would drink all the people and when they would remove the curtain.

Wang Xiaolie drank, but he didn't drink much and was moderate. However, he did not restrict his subordinates from drinking, so he would go with them. However, when there were tasks in the army, it was strictly forbidden to drink. Although the conditions were limited, the implementation was not very strict, and there were rules. Compared with most troops at this time, Wang Xiaolie's troops had stricter bans on alcohol.

Niu Gao was addicted to alcohol, and Dong Xian loved wealth. These two generals who rose around Luoyang and left their names to the future generations had their own shortcomings. Who has no shortcomings? How many perfect people are there in the world? The key is to limit their shortcomings and give full play to their strengths to achieve great things.

Wang Xiaoli did not require his subordinates to have no shortcomings, but he required his subordinates not to delay their work due to their shortcomings. After receiving the task, he must complete it with all his heart and strength and should not slack off. Once he finds that he is not concerned about the task, he will be recorded.

After drinking wine for a while, eating meat for a while, the soldiers came with a plate of fish.

Wang Xiaoli said to Niu Gao: "This is a big carp caught in a nearby river. I asked them to braised it. You can taste it."

After saying that, he took the public chopsticks and picked up a large piece of the bowl in front of Niu Gao.

Niu Gao had already had the intention of drinking at this time and ate the fish. He praised: "This fish is sour and sweet, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is really delicious. To be honest, I have never eaten this taste before. In the military of the prefect, I didn't expect that there were good people who cooked."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "This fish is called braised carp. It is fried first, then poured with juice to make it taste. To be honest, only I can make it here in the world, but it is not possible in other places."

Niu Gao praised repeatedly and kept picking up fish to eat.

Braised carp is a famous dish in Shandong cuisine in later generations. The fish is fried first and then poured with sweet and sour sauce. In this era, there was no white sugar, and it was actually impossible to make the real sweet and sour sauce. However, this new flavor, even if it is not perfect, is still loved by people at this time.

Many things in the world are just like cooking. They are simple in the early days, and over time, they will naturally become more and more exquisite. The most important thing is that the overall method cannot be wrong. In this world, the most important thing for Wang Xiaoli is to build a large framework and slowly improve it.
