Wang Ruohai walked into the official hall and saw Wang Xiaolie studying the map of Hedong Road. After a moment of silence, he said: "Yue Kuan has been sent away by Li Dutong. I heard that because the money from the rear is not sure when it will be sent,

Wang De has a lot of opinions."

Wang Xiaolie straightened up and said: "This Liu Guangshi refuses to use his own money to buy cannon, and the court doesn't allocate it to him. It's a troublesome thing. Don't let the court force us to give it to him on credit in the end. Han Shi

Has Zhong and Zhang Jun’s money come?”

Wang Ruohai shook his head: "No. But I heard that they are already on the way. And unlike Yue Kuan, these two people have enough money."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The imperial court has to deal with Zhang Jun first before it can allocate money to Yue Fei. That's it. We'll spend hundreds of thousands of guan at once, and we won't accept the money. Even the imperial court will have to raise funds for a while. Casting cannons

The cannons are still being cast in the field to ensure they can be used by our army."

Wang Ruohai nodded. After a while, he said: "I heard that the imperial court recently appointed Li as a defense envoy and asked him to lead the army. Only the ministers in the court objected, so he only received a false title. In a few days, I think I will let him lead the army.

He led the troops."

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and then said: "The soldiers of the imperial court are still the same as before. The officials wanted to use Li Cheng for more than a day or two. It's just that Li Cheng was too cowardly when he was in Zhongmou, so he waited until now. The reason for this

Let them go and don't worry about it."

One of the signs of military modernization is that the combat effectiveness has changed from being dominated by generals to being dominated by soldiers. Well-trained soldiers, combined with professional staff teams, make up the majority of an army's combat effectiveness. The role of generals is

Making war decisions is no longer about training soldiers.

Without retraining and retraining, no matter how good the captured generals are, Wang Xiaolie will not be used. What's more, people like Li Cheng have obvious shortcomings and advantages, and Wang Xiaolie will be even less needed. Zhao Gou's military thinking is typical of the late Tang and Five Dynasties.

Don't worry about the general's thoughts.

Wang Ruohai said: "I heard that the emperor wanted to appoint Li Cheng as military envoy at first, but all the ministers objected, so he appointed him as defensive envoy. Doing so would probably chill the hearts of the soldiers. I heard that among the generals who came to Luoyang recently, except Tian Shi,

Everyone else, both at home and abroad, is extremely dissatisfied."

Wang Xiaolie smiled and shook his head: "This person in Master Tian is quite brave in fighting and can lead troops, but he is not very outstanding among the generals. One of his strengths is that he is shameless, and few people can do that.

When Zhang Jun's son died early, Tian Shizhong married Zhang Jun's daughter-in-law. From then on, he always addressed Zhang Jun as "father". Tian Shizhong called him that, and Zhang Jun agreed. They were also a couple.

It’s a living treasure.”

Wang Ruohai thought for a while and said: "Xuanfu thinks that the Jin army will not invade the south this year?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "There is a saying in the art of war that victory can be achieved through perfect combination and surprise. I think that when attacking Taiyuan, if we can use surprise soldiers correctly, it will be miraculous."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes. I have equipped Jiang Min with the best generals and soldiers, and they should play an important role. To the north of Shizhou, there is a road leading behind Taiyuan. If Jiang Min can block Taiyuan during the war,

The defenders' retreat route can be used to catch turtles in the urn. At that time, we can gather and annihilate the Jin army in Taiyuan Prefecture."

Wang Ruohai said: "What Xuan Fu said is that no one can compare with Tian Shizhong in terms of these two strengths."

Wang Xiaolie said: "What is Nan guilty of? They just grabbed the artillery, and it will take a year or two to cast it and use it skillfully. As for us, a new army has been newly formed, and the combat effectiveness is always worrying.

It takes a year or two for them to get used to it."

Wang Ruohai said: "Jiang Min has never fought, so I don't know if he can accomplish this."

Wang Ruohai looked at the map for a while and said: "There is no other way to attack Hedong. It is just to attack Taiyuan from both directions of Longde Mansion and Jinzhou. The two sides will fight decisively under the city of Taiyuan. If we take Taiyuan, Xinzhou, and Daizhou, there will be no way."

It’s so difficult.”

Wang Ruohai said: "People say that Tian Shizhong should not be Zhang Jun's commander of the Chinese army. With his ability, how can he do it?"

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "Yes, I am worried about this too. What I am most worried about is planting dragon seeds and harvesting fleas. Not only do we not know, but at this time, Jiang Mi also has no confidence in his heart.

Ah. I want to go to Hedong again after October. I have to see it with my own eyes before I can feel at ease."

Wang Ruohai said: "What can we do? Fighting the enemies in the north is a difficult situation after all."

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "Ignore them. The imperial court wants artillery, and it will definitely make big moves after getting it. If we attack Shaanxi to the west, Shaanxi's Jin soldiers will be too weak. And attacking Liu Yu to the east will turn into a confrontation.

The decisive battle of the Jin Dynasty. After much calculation, it is only appropriate to attack Hedong and capture Taiyuan Mansion. I am studying the Hedong Dipu here, come and take a look."

Wang Ruohai thought for a while and understood. He said: "Xuan Fu means Jiang Min Yijun?"

Wang Xiaolie looked at Wang Ruohai and said earnestly: "Commander, please don't think so. It would be difficult for someone like Zhang Jun to replace him as commander of the Chinese army. He appointed Tian Shizhong not only because

Tian Shizhong is good at flattery, and it is because Tian Shizhong can fight. Combining these two talents is Tian Shizhong's special skill. Don't underestimate him, he can really combine two strengths, no one can compare with him.

The master of crossing the field is hit."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "It makes sense. Since ancient times, this has been the way to attack Hedong. However, there are many Jin soldiers and cavalry. Even if we capture Taiyuan, most of the Jin soldiers may escape. Then attack Xinzhou and Daizhou,

It is always not good to make the enemy stronger the more you fight it."

Wang Ruohai said: "It makes sense. So there is no war this year, so isn't it a bit deserted?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "If there is no big war, there will definitely be small battles. Zhe Keqiu in Fuzhou must be resolved as soon as possible. If Jiang Min wants to go north from Shizhou, he cannot be cut off by Zhe Keqiu. It is a war.

And, there should be an explanation this year.”

Wang Ruohai said: "Speaking of Fuzhou, it's really a headache. The Zhe family has been operating there for hundreds of years, and it's really hard to penetrate with needles and water. I have sent people there several times, but there is always no way.

Take root there. It’s hard to fathom what kind of attitude you have.”

Wang Xiaolie sat down, didn't speak, and thought for a while. He said: "During the Jingkang period, Zhe Keqiu could be regarded as fighting against the Jin. In the end, he had no choice but to invest in the Jin. However, after investing in the Jin, he attacked Shaanzhou and committed a crime.

Many sins. In the past two years, I still wanted to compete with Liu Yu and worked extra hard. Now that the Jin people have chosen Liu Yu, it is really hard to fathom what his attitude is. I think it would be difficult for him to make a choice without pressure.

.Jiang Min has arrived in Shizhou and can find a way to contact the Zhe family."

Wang Ruohai said: "That's all it can do. If you don't know what is possible, it will be difficult to make a decision."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Fuzhou has a special status. It is between the Song Dynasty and Xixia, and it is on the west bank of the Yellow River. It has an important strategic position. As a party member, the Zhejia is the tip of the spear against Xixia. However, the Zhejia is in Fuzhou.

Huangzhou has been in the state for hundreds of years, and its considerations may be different from those of us outsiders. In the final analysis, we still have to talk to the Zhe family about this matter. Zhe Yanzhi was originally a suitable candidate, but he lost his artillery in Huangzhou."

Wang Ruohai said: "I heard that the imperial court was also very angry about Zhe Yanzhi and took control of it again. If Xuan Fu is willing, he can be recruited."
