Outside the city of Shaanzhou, Wang Xiaolie watched the people on the road supporting the elderly and the young as they moved south. Yang Shen arranged for special personnel to organize the people to move south. Their food was provided by dedicated personnel, and there were rest stops along the road.

When to set out and when to rest, everything depends on the army.

Chen Yuyi said: "We won the battle, but moved the people away. From observation, this matter is always a bit strange."

Wang Xiaolie said: "If we can't win the war, we won't be able to relocate the people even if we want to. Counselor, the people have suffered too much in the past few years. Whenever possible, we must try our best to prevent them from moving.

Suffering. The Jin army in the north is separated from Yanjing and Yunzhong, and moves south every year. If the people are not moved away, they will be robbed by the Jin captives. What can be done?"

Chen Yuyi nodded, but he always felt strange in his heart. The people were moved after losing the battle, so why move after the victory? As long as Shaanzhou is defended, what will happen if the Jin army comes? This year, Lousu attacked Shaanzhou with great power.

Rescued by Wang Xiaolie?

However, Wang Xiaolie understood that the number of Jurchens attacking Shaanzhou this time was less than 10,000. If the Jin army shifted its focus to Shaanxi, the size of the army that came next time would be completely different. He had more than 30,000 people, which was not enough to directly attack

The main force of the Jin army faced off head-on.

After watching for a long time, Wang Xiaolian said: "Today Zhai Wang came from Luoyang, and Privy Council Zhang also sent an envoy to discuss matters in Shaanzhou City. Let's go back early. With so many people here, it must be very lively today."

The two returned to Shaanzhou City, and Chen Yuyi went to gather his men and asked them to follow Wang Xiaolie's instructions and join the people who moved south. On the way, they looked at the living conditions of the people, listened to their voices, and found out what they really thought.

. All of this must be recorded, and it can be regarded as a historical picture.

In the Shaanzhou Yamen, Wang Xiaolie was resting alone in his room. In the afternoon, Li Yanxian sent someone to tell him that Zhai Xing had arrived outside the city.

Welcoming them out of the city with Li Yanxian, they saw Zhai Xing entering dozens of soldiers, coming with the setting sun on their backs.

After coming forward to see the ceremony, Zhai Xing walked up and down Wang Xiaoxian and said: "I haven't seen you for two years, but I don't want to observe that I can do such a big thing! The things in the world are really wonderful. I left Ruzhou at that time, and I didn't want to observe that we are here today.

!”

Wang Xiaolie said: "When the world is in trouble, as long as you pay attention to national affairs, you will be successful!"

Zhai Xing and Li Yanxian called each other together. The three of them walked side by side and entered Shaanzhou City.

When they sat down in the official hall, Li Yanxian invited him for tea, and the three of them talked about some miscellaneous matters.

Wang Xiaolie repulsed the Jin army in Shaanzhou, and the nearby Jin army quickly retreated north. Zhai Xing led his troops into Luoyang City without spending much effort. After several battles, Luoyang was extremely dilapidated at this time. The people in the city

There are now less than a thousand households, and most of them cultivate farmland, which has lost value.

When the Song Dynasty was founded, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin wanted to make Luoyang the capital. The plan at that time was to first make Kaifeng the capital when the country was first founded, and then move the capital to Luoyang when the opportunity was right, and then possibly move the capital to Chang'an in the future. However, by the time of Emperor Taizong, this plan was no longer available.

.So the largest city in the Song Dynasty was not Kaifeng Mansion, but Luoyang City, which was much larger than Kaifeng Mansion.

Luoyang is a large city, but its population is not as large as that of Kaifeng Prefecture. There is a lot of idle land in the city. Not only are there gardens and pavilions for high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, but there are also many vegetable households growing vegetables. There are even rice fields and mulberry forests in remote places. Now they are abandoned.

It is no different from the countryside.

In his previous life, someone invented a saying that the only city in China that has not changed its name in three thousand years of history is Handan. Wang Xiaolie found it very strange. China has a long history and there are too many cities that have not changed their name. Why is there only one city? For example, Handan

Chang'an, Chang'an County has always been there, but Jingzhao Prefecture not only has Chang'an County, but also Wannian County. For example, Kaifeng Prefecture, not only has Kaifeng County, but also Xiangfu County. For example, Henan Prefecture, not only has Luoyang County, but also Henan County.

.In Chinese history, the division of counties was relatively stable, while the two levels above the county changed more. There are many places like Chang'an and Luoyang that have not changed their names for thousands of years.

At this time, Henan Prefecture, the urban area governed Luoyang and Henan counties. It was Xijing and Luoyang County in the Song Dynasty. Luoyang was the old name, and it was the name of the county, so people at that time often called it Luoyang. Similar to this, there is Dengzhou, which governs Nanyang

County, but because it is Nanyang County, Dengzhou is sometimes called Nanyang.

The Jin soldiers went south, mainly attacking the east and west capitals. After many wars, Luoyang City at this time was already in ruins. Moreover, the people were fleeing, and its role as a military base was no longer significant. As long as a relatively stable rule was not established in the Central Plains, Luoyang would be the same as Kaifeng.

, almost an empty city.

Zhai Xing couldn't help but shake his head when he talked about the scene when he entered Luoyang City. Compared with the prosperous times, the scene now is almost heaven and earth.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Without other places to support, Luoyang and Kaifeng are both the places of the Four Wars. The Jin army went south, and the bandits caused chaos, they have already become empty cities. The imperial court does not have the strength to fight against the Jin army. These two places are

It's a dead place. It's better to move the people in this area and move them back when they can defeat the Jin army. Without the people, the Jin army will have no food and grass, which is actually not a bad thing."

Zhai Xingdao: "These days I have been hearing that people are migrating to the south. When I entered Shaanxi Province, I saw an endless stream of people on the road. Observation, the Central Plains is a rich land, and it is worth discussing if it is abandoned."

At this moment, the soldiers came to report that Zhang Jun's envoy Liu Ziyu had arrived.

Welcoming Liu Ziyu into the city, everyone sat down. Liu Ziyu said: "Although this battle in Shaanxi Province is difficult, fortunately Wang Xiaolie traveled 800 miles to come from Dengzhou to help. The privy minister accepted the system and promoted him to an official position, and settled in Yao County for peace.

The history of state defense. There are also gold and silk rewards for their loyalty to the state!"

Zhai Xing and Li Yanxian congratulated Wang Xiaolie together. Wang Xiaolie was originally the governor of Yaojun. Luoyaojun was the Lang and the doctor in front of him, and he became a real history of defense. The promotion of military attachés in the Song Dynasty was slow and there were too many official ranks, among which

The one who took the biggest advantage was Luoyao County. Although Yao County had titles such as Defense History and Observer, its official rank was actually very low. For example, Li Yanxian was now Dr. Youwu and Ningzhou Observer. Everyone called him Li Observer, which was true in name.

Consistent with Wang Xiaolie's observation, it is just people's honorific title. However, when describing the official position, Li Yanxian's real official rank is Dr. Youwu, the sixth rank, and he has just entered the ranks of important officials. If he falls into Yaoyao County, he will go to the right in front of him.

Doctor Wu, who was an observer when he was an official, became a noble official and a real high-ranking military attaché.

When a military officer falls to Yao County, he or she will usually be promoted or not be promoted based on the original Yao County officer. Basically, he will not be demoted. It is equivalent to being promoted many levels in a row.

Zhang Jun came out of Zhenshuan and Shaanxi and had great power. General political affairs could be decided directly, that is, he was in charge. For an official of Wang Xiaolie's level, Zhang Jun did not need to report to the court, he could decide directly, and then let the court ratify it afterwards.

Can.

Just congratulations. Liu Ziyu said: "Now the Jin army is entrenched in the Longmen area and dare not advance towards Jiangzhou. Hedong is empty, and Taiyuan's Wanyan Yinshu cannot send troops to support it. This is a great opportunity for our army to attack! Privy Council

We intend to gather the Shaanxi army and cross the Yellow River to attack the east road of the river! Taking advantage of the opportunity to attack Taiyuan Prefecture, even if we capture Yunzhong, it will not be a surprise!"

After hearing this, Wang Xiaolie, Li Yanxian and Zhai Xing were all shocked. Several people were discussing retreat, but Zhang Jun wanted to attack. This decision was too sudden. Moreover, Wang Xiaolie's troops were not many, even if he added

Li Yanxian and Zhai Xing were not strong enough to fight against the Jin army.

After a moment of silence, Li Yanxian said: "Consultant, our army suffered a lot in the battle at Shaanzhou, and we are really unable to fight anymore. The king's defense has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and all the food and grass were shipped from Dengzhou. We cannot support it now.
