"Retreat! Retreat! The Golden Man retreats!"

On the city wall, the Song army shouted loudly and vented their joy. After seven days of hard fighting, the Jin army finally retreated.

Wang Xiaolie stood on the tower, looking at the retreating Jin army, with mixed feelings for a moment. After guarding these days, it felt like a big stone was weighing on his chest every day, and he did not dare to relax at all. Every night, he had to

It is really difficult to lead troops out of the city to harass. As the leader, he cannot tell others about these difficulties and has to boost their morale at all times.

Many times, Wang Xiaolie had imagined what it would be like if the Jin army retreated. Today, the Jin army really retreated, but it felt empty.

Xie Linong stepped forward and said, "Xiaoshe people, do you want to follow behind and see if the Jin army really retreated and where they retreated to?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded and said: "Of course I want it. You and Yu Huan will lead fifty people out of the city later. Just follow the Jin man from a distance. Don't get too close and cause trouble. If there is any abnormal movement,

Return to the city immediately and report."

Xie Linong promised and went to prepare with Yu Huan.

The Jin soldiers retreated and the siege was solved. In fact, Wang Xiaolie could not care so much. A large army siege could not be completed in an instant. Even if the Jin army came back, Wang Xiaolie could easily retreat with his men. He only defended this

Why did Wang Xiaoxian leave in such a hurry these days like a bereaved dog? Wouldn't it be good to wait until the Jin soldiers retreated, and everything was arranged properly, so that they could leave openly?

The city was already in a state of jubilation. The people were singing and dancing to celebrate the victory in the battle to defend the city. Wang Xiaolie came down from the city, cheering everywhere.

After walking through the crowd and arriving in front of the county government office, Wang Xiaolie let out a sigh of relief.

This time was different from the previous days when we killed fifty golden knights. There were no spectators at that time. We won in the end, and there was not even a cheer. After the war, although there were not many people in Gong County, it was still very lively when hundreds of people made a fuss.

.Looking at the celebrating crowd, Wang Xiaolie felt sincere joy. In the days when the Jin army invaded the south, this kind of joy was really rare.

After entering the county government office, Yang Shen came over and said: "Xiaoshe people have defeated the Jin people, and the people are determined to celebrate. However, although there is food in the city, there is no food and wine. Just now, several people outside Yuan Liu said that they wanted to

Send a few people out of the city to buy some wine and meat."

Wang Xiaolie said: "If there is a place for sale, I will just send people there. There is no money in the army, so the non-commissioned officers will provide some money, and the army will send people there."

Yang Shen smiled and shook his head: "Xiaoshe people, the Jin Army has come and gone in this area several times, and the people have narrowly escaped death, how can they trust the soldiers? They are not local people, they have gone into hiding long ago, and they can't be found."

Wang Xiaolie was about to refute, but think about it. The people can only live like this, what else can they do? When the army comes, they hide out early and continue their lives. After the army leaves, they come out from hiding. No one can

Be careful, if you suffer a military disaster, you can only admit that you are unlucky. Even if you drive away the Jin army, why don't you leave? If you don't defend the place for a long time, don't destroy the order of the place.

The Jin army went north, crossed the Yellow River to Mengzhou, and went to Hedong Road. Wang Xiaolie stayed in Gongxian for another three days before deciding to set off.

Liu Yuanwai and others set up a table with incense and wine and meat on the roadside to see Wang Xiaolie off.

After leaving the county office, Wang Xiaolie handed over his hand: "These days in Gong County, the local elders are in trouble. I have eaten a lot of food, wine and meat from you. I should have given you money, but the army is short of money, so I have to write it down for now."

Liu Yuan said: "What the general said is so embarrassing for you guys! Since the Jin people came south, I don't know how many armies have passed here. Have you ever won a battle before? This prosperous place is now empty of ten rooms, with only

Let's save our lives. Don't talk about eating some wine and meat. If the general wins this battle, he is willing to take our heads. Alas, once the general leaves, I don't know when peace will be restored."

Hearing what he said was so sad, Wang Xiaolie didn't know what to say for a moment. Everything happened so suddenly. He didn't even think about what to do in the future, what strategies to implement, what policies to implement, and everything. He didn't even think about it.

Wang Xiaolie has not yet figured out how to get along with the people, how to develop, and what he will do in the future. Things push him forward step by step.

I don’t know when peace will come. This sentence touched Wang Xiaolie’s heart.

Yes, when will there be peace? For the people in the Central Plains, it will be hundreds of years before they arrive. What have they done wrong? They have done nothing wrong. Because the army cannot fight in the north.

The robbers came, as if it were natural.

Why? In my previous life, I often said that those who fell behind would be beaten. This is the logic of facing bandits. I have no choice but to encourage myself. Was the Song Dynasty backward? Compared to the world, it was not backward. But it still had to be beaten. And it was an independent country.

How long does it take, and again and again, one person suffers death, and then another becomes more cruel, until the country is destroyed.

Being behind does not necessarily mean you will be beaten. Just like the Jin Dynasty, it was behind the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, but it was beaten. In the final analysis, the most fundamental thing if you don't want to be beaten is to be able to fight yourself. If you can't fight yourself, it won't work.

Are there axioms in this world? Maybe there are. But you can’t fight, and you’re not even qualified to talk about axioms.

In previous lives, there were various summaries and developments of ancient history. The summed up included the cyclical laws of dynasties, the advancement of slaves, feudalists and capitalists, and so on, all of which were clear and logical. But for people in this world,

It's not of much use.

Facing the invasion of the Jin Dynasty, what should the Song Dynasty do? Based on the knowledge of the previous life, it could adopt capitalism or even socialism, or learn the history of some small European countries, and so on. Is it useful?

Wang Xiaolie shook his head.

It's useless. What's the use of doing that? The most important thing is to make the army capable of fighting and to be able to truly defeat the Jin army on the battlefield. Only when the battle is won on the battlefield can everything else be discussed.

Why couldn't the Song army fight? The history of the previous life told me that it was because civil society controlled military affairs. The status of soldiers was low, so how could anyone be willing to be a soldier? The status of military generals was low, and they could not be prime ministers or control the government, so how could they still do it?

Have excellent talents?

But now I know that this is not the case. At most, this is just a prescription made out of imagination by scholars who do not understand martial arts. Military generals have a high status, some are higher than those in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the previous life of the Republic of China? Can the army fight? Soldiers are looked down upon.

Can it still be lower than when Britain was conquering the world? Britain used gangsters and homeless people as soldiers to conquer the world.

The army is an organized violent group, not just a violent group. The organization of the army directly affects the combat effectiveness of the army. From the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the organizational strength of the Chinese army has decreased too much. During the Five Dynasties period, arrogant soldiers and fierce generals, the following

In terms of system, it is unprecedented and unprecedented. After the founding of the Song Dynasty, the military system continued without fundamental reform. In the unified dynasty, the arrogant and powerful generals were gone, but the system was preserved. In the peaceful period, the system could not be implemented, and the battlefield was unfavorable.

It is normal for people to disperse in a hurry.

Since the Song Dynasty, this kind of military system has directly affected the combat effectiveness of the army. At the beginning, the organizational strength did not rely much on the system, and after decades of fighting, the winner was invincible. After a few decades, the organization gradually became disorganized and became a piece of loose sand.

.

Military is an extension of politics, but it is by no means political. It has its own independence. Throughout Chinese history, the strongest organizational power of the military should have been during the Warring States Period. By the time Qin unified the six kingdoms, the organizational power could be considered to have reached its peak. However,

The foundation of military affairs is politics. If politics is not good, the combat effectiveness of the army cannot be maintained. Qin II collapsed.

Why did the British use rogues as soldiers to colonize the world? Because their politics is supporting them. Without political support, even if the army is strong for a while, it cannot maintain it.

At this time, in the Song Dynasty, the army could not fight, and the politics were in a mess. How could it compete with the Jin Army? Historically, when Yue Fei rose up, he saw hope of defeating the Jin Army, but he was also pulled by politics, and finally died unjustly in Feng Boting.

If you want to make a difference at this time, you must first have an army that can fight. With an army, you have everything. Once you win, you can then think about what kind of politics you can use to maintain the army's combat effectiveness.

Looking at the common people who rewarded the army in front of the horse, Wang Xiaolie felt a little sad. Political power comes from the barrel of a gun, maybe this is what it means. If you want to create a situation in troubled times, you must first have a gun. Such a gun will inevitably
