The New Year came unknowingly. The war was still far from the southwest of Beijing. Except for Sang Zhong who was spying on Tangzhou, there was no threat in the surrounding area. Wang Xiaoli gathered his generals and subordinates, gathered in Xinye to celebrate the New Year together.

.

On the 26th day of the 12th lunar month, Wang Xiaoli, his subordinates and Chen Yuyi, chatting about the current situation in the Houya. A dirt pit was set up in the yard outside, and a sheep, half a pig, and a

A few pigeons. When the night comes, we will drink and eat meat together.

The sky was gloomy, and snowflakes rose at some point, as if there were or not.

Looking at the weather outside, Wang Xiaolei said: "In summer, I never imagined that the situation would be ruined this winter. In fact, there were not many people in the east road. After all, I calculated that its real Jurchen army,

There are only 30,000 to 50,000 people. But these 30,000 to 50,000 people went straight to the southeast like entering a deserted land! There is a 100,000 or 200,000 troops in the court, and they actually allowed the Jin people to rush across the country!"

Chen Yuyi sighed: "Who is the general who is leading troops now able to compete with the Jin people? Just like Liu Taiwei stationed in Jiangzhou, he retreated when he heard that the Jin people arrived. Even the generals are like this, what can others do?"

Wang Xiaoli hesitated and said, "To be honest, the court cannot integrate its forces, so it can only let the commanders and commanders do their own affairs. There are nearly 200,000 troops and thousands of miles of land there, how could it be like this? If it were prepared,

Select the right terrain and work together, not to mention the complete annihilation of the Jin army in Jiangnan, is it difficult to stop them? But it is just that the defenders died in battle and the free and easy way to avoid the war!”

After hearing this, all the generals sighed. Now, the Song Dynasty also knew that the number of Jurchens was not large. It was a great thing to have a large invasion of the south. It was a great thing to have a army of 100,000 or 200,000 Jurchens. But the Song Dynasty was just

There are so many large armies on paper, but when they really fight, none of them are reliable. Those who really want to fight, such as Han Shizhong and others, have few soldiers and horses under them. Those who have many soldiers and horses under them, such as Liu Guangshi and others, just want to avoid the war.

.

What's more serious is that as time goes by, the Jin Dynasty slowly integrated and occupied the north, and more and more troops were. For example, this time, there were only tens of thousands of Jin troops participating in the war, but the Khitan, Bohai, and Han'er who accompanied them,

There were 100,000 or 200,000. At first, these people were just counting the numbers. As more battles were fought, their combat effectiveness became stronger and stronger.

Speaking of the current situation, several people sighed. Yue Gou ran to the sea, and Empress Dowager Longyou was about to run across Lingnan.

It was getting dark and the roasted meat outside was cooked. The soldiers put the meat on the long table and served wine. Several people drank and ate meat.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Xiao took a look: "I won't talk about the Southeast, what's going on with the war around us recently?"

Shao Ling said: "Except for Sang Zhong in the east of Tangzhou, there is no large force to spy on us. Cao Duan in the north is mainly engaged with Taiwei Zhai in Zhengzhou and Gong County. The other small forces are insignificant."

Niu Gao said: "The situation in Shanzhou is not optimistic. After fighting for a long time, Zhang Shumi sent troops to rescue him. How can he defend himself by guarding the lonely city?"

Wang Xiaoliu said: "East from Tongguan, there is only one place left in Shaanxi Province, and Zhang Shumi should be able to send troops. If Shanzhou is not protected, the Jin army in Yunzhong will have no worries and can attack Shaanxi together. At that time, Zhang Shumi's

The pressure is too high."

Everyone nodded and agreed. For Zhang Jun, if Shanzhou could be preserved, there would be much more room for maneuver with the Jin army.

The snow was neither too fast nor too slow, but it fell down and quickly melted. Until dark, the ground did not turn white.

While Wang Xiaoli and others were drinking and eating meat, they were sitting and chatting, they rode into Xinye City with a fast horse. The soldiers who were about to close the city gate saw that the knights on the horse were in a messy clothes, hurriedly stopped them.

Soon, a soldier quickly ran into the Houya. He went to Wang Xiaoli to cross his hands: "Observe that there was a general Shao Yun, the governor of Guozhou, who was sent by the governor of Shaoxing, and entered Xinye City. He had important things and had to face them.

See Observe!”

Wang Xiaoli looked at everyone, a little puzzled. Guozhou and Shanzhou were one, and Shao Xing was also Li Yanxian's person and had no relationship with him. What did he do when the Jin army surrounded Shanzhou?

After thinking for a while, he said, "Let him rest for a night, and I will see him tomorrow."

The soldier was a little embarrassed. He said, "Observe and see Shao Yun's appearance, he was extremely tired on the road. According to him, things were urgent and he didn't get off the horse for a day and a night. If he didn't meet him today, he was afraid he—"

After hearing this, Wang Xiaolie had no choice but to say, "Forget it, let him come here to see me!"

The soldiers said they promised to retreat.

Wang Xiaoli said to everyone: "It's so urgent, it's probably something that happened in Shanzhou. The Jin army has been surrounded for so long and has not heard of any news. Why is it suddenly in a hurry to come here? It's still apart from Shanzhou.

A Taiwei Zhai. If you really have something to do, you shouldn’t come to us.”

Niu Gao said: "Taiwei Zhai was suppressed by the Jin army and could not even go to Luoyang. How could he save Shanzhou?"

Wang Xiaoli nodded, but still didn't understand. Shanzhou is under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi Road, and it is much more convenient to rescue from Shaanxi. No matter what, there is no reason to come to him for help. The two places are hundreds of miles apart, from Xinye

When I sent troops, the daylily was cold when I got there.

Soon, Shao Yun came in and saw many broken clothes on his body, messy hair, and stains on his left and right.

When he arrived at Wang Xiao, who was sitting in the middle of the road, crossed his hands: "The last general Shao Yun was originally a general of Guozhou. He was ordered by the magistrate to come and observe!"

Wang Xiaoli said: "I know your name. I gathered people to fight against the Jin Dynasty and became brothers with Shao Zhizhou. I heard that the Jin army was attacking Shanzhou, but I wonder why you came here? But I lack money and food?"

Shao Yun was silent for a moment. After a while, he said: "I don't hide the observation. I got a reply from Zhang Shumi a few days ago, saying that he led his troops to save Shanzhou, but he was blocked by the Jin soldiers and moved forward for a while.

No. Quduan, who is close to him, sit still and watch——”

After hearing these words, Wang Xiaoli's heart couldn't help but sink. How many soldiers can there be in a city in Shanzhou? The Jin army launched a large-scale attack, and if they wanted to defend, they had to rescue them. Originally, Quduan's army was closest to Shanzhou, so

He is willing to send troops, so it won't be too troublesome.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoli couldn't help but sigh in his heart. On Shaanxi Road, the Song Dynasty was not without soldiers or generals, but no generals were accepted by the generals and did not obey the order. If they should be saved, they would not save them when they should be killed.

He didn't fight and watched success or failure. To be honest, the Song Dynasty treated him with a high position and gave him a high position, and it was right to send Zhang Jun to manage Sichuan and Shaanxi. But the problem is that Zhang Jun was very talented and could not take on this important task.

Seeing that Wang Xiaoli did not speak, Shao Yun took out a letter from his arms and said, "Zhang Shumi came to write a letter saying that there were many soldiers and generals, and that when things were urgent, they could come to ask for help. Now the Jin army has been besieging Shanzhou for nearly a month.

Is it really difficult to support the use of all the food and grass in the city?”

"Let me save Shanzhou?" Wang Xiaolie looked at Shao Yun, feeling a little unbelievable.

Not to mention that you are too far from Shanzhou, you may not be able to rescue it. Just talk about your identity. No matter how the court enthroned officials and made wishes, the territory was captured by itself, and the army was trained by itself. It can be said that it did not cost the court a penny. How could it be

Let yourself do such a dangerous thing?

Seeing Wang Xiaolie's expression, Shao Yun sighed secretly. Indeed, there is a large army of Quduan not far from Shaanxi, and there is no reason to come to Dengzhou hundreds of miles away for help. Wang Xiaolie is the military leader he developed, how can he?

Can do such a thing?

When he handed the letter in his hand over, Shao Yun did not speak.

Wang Xiaoli unveiled the letter. The letter was written by Zhang Jun. He talked about the importance of Shanzhou now. The seriousness of the Jin army gathering this time and never retreating until it reaches Shanzhou. Finally, it is said that the Shaanxi Song army was defeated by the Jin army.

Due to the obstacles, he could not go east for a while and asked Wang Xiaowei to send troops. Finally, Zhang Jun agreed that if Wang Xiaowei sent troops, he would definitely be rewarded after success.

After closing the letter, Wang Xiaoli closed his eyes and said nothing.

It is not possible to discuss Zhang Jun’s heavy rewards. What Wang Xiaoli needs to understand is how much rescue value is Shanzhou. At this time, Shanzhou strongly blocked Shaanxi Road, which is undoubtedly true. But for Wang Xiaoli

, How much does it have to do with yourself?

Shao Yun said: "Observe, since the Jin army attacked and Li Guan raised his troops to fight against the Jin Dynasty, it has been three years since today. After hundreds of battles, he has made countless achievements. The people around him are all grateful for his kindness and surrendered. To this day, as far as Heshuo, they all

Follow the Li Observation Military Name. If Shaanxi Province is broken, Li Observation will be punished for many years of hard work. The people of Hedong and Shaanxi will be even more poisoned by the Jin army.”

Wang Xiaoli sighed: "Do you know how many miles there are from Xinye to Shanzhou?"

Shao Yun said: "At the end of the day, we came from Guozhou, and we went there for seven days and seven nights."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "You are alone and rushing to the road regardless of your life. It has been half a life since you arrived here from Guozhou for seven days and seven nights. How long does it take for the army to march? It takes about 800 miles to reach Shanzhou here! I am twice.

It will take half a month to arrive if you walk on the road!”

Quduan did not save Shanzhou, and the closest one to the distance was Wang Xiaoli. He passed through Dengzhou from Xinye, then went northwest to Neixiang, and walked northwest along Wuguan Road. He walked about seventy miles and headed north along the mountain pass.

Passing through the Lu family, we took the route to Guozhou to Shanzhou. This road was almost full of mountains and ridges. Although it was an important road since ancient times, it was not conducive to the walking of the army.

Shao Yun said: "The last general knows that observing is difficult. However, Li Guan is loyal to the country, the court, and the people all rely on the Great Wall! If he is unwilling to send troops, the city of Shanzhou will be destroyed, this, this—"

Wang Xiaoli sighed: "It's not that I don't want to save it, but that the distance is too far, so it's hard to save it. To be honest, it takes more than fifteen days to travel on the road, and it takes five or six days to prepare for the war. I'm afraid of it.

When the army arrived in Shanzhou, the city was already broken! At that time, I was the Jin army who was busy expeditioning and waiting for it. What do you think I will do to make this determination?"

After hearing this, Shao Yun said nothing. Yes, what if Li Yanxian couldn't hold on, Wang Xiaohun arrived and Shanzhou City was broken? At that time, it was the exhausted Wang Xiaohun who faced after the big victory.

Jin Jun. He accidentally got himself in.
