Chapter 166 Guerrilla Zone
Jiang Yue took his son and followed the soldiers. Through a layer of bamboo repair, he saw an open space in front. Peach blossoms and plum blossoms were blooming brightly. There was a bamboo pavilion next to the flowers. Wang Xiaoli sat in it, holding a book in his hand and reading.
Seeing Jiang Yue and his son coming, Wang Xiaoli put down the book, stood up and greeted him.
Jiang Yue hurriedly took his son to salute, saying, "I am very frightened when I disturb the officials and practice the truth."
Wang Xiaoli smiled and said, "What kind of cultivation is? It's just reading books in his spare time. This place turned out to be a wealthy family's other career. The owner didn't know where he fled, so I'll live here for the time being. - You guys sit down."
After saying that, he sat down on the stone bench next to a peach blossom.
Jiang Yue hurriedly saluted: "Will the young man sit in front of the official, wouldn't he lose his lifespan? Just stand and talk."
Wang Xiaolien no longer advised them, saying, "You have thought about what Erlang will learn in the future?"
Jiang Yue said: "Our family discussed overnight yesterday. After thinking about it, it would be better to let Erlang go to a military academy and join the army. Now is the time when the country is destroyed and the mountains and rivers are turbulent. Joining the army is not only about gaining a future, but also about serving the country."
Wang Xiaoli nodded and looked at Jiang Erlang on the side. He was still very restrained. He held his trouser legs tightly and looked down at the ground. His feet gently rubbed the ground, and unknowingly crushed a small nest.
This is a simple farmer boy who doesn't have much thought in his heart. Perhaps he also yearns for the outside world, wants to soar in the vast world, and wants to leave his colorful stories in this world. But it is obvious that when the opportunity comes, he is more nervous than excited. He has a yearning for the future and a little worried.
Wang Xiaolei said: "Since that's the case, I will write a book and ask Erlang to go to the military academy. By the way, how old is he now?"
Jiang Yue said: "I am fifteen years old when I return to the official position."
Wang Xiaolei said: "I am a little younger and I am not yet a clan. It doesn't matter. I ask people in the military academy to take special care of it. When he learns well, he will be able to reach the clan of Cheng Ding. The life and clothing of the army are free of worries, but there are many rules and strict management. You must abide by discipline and not act recklessly."
Jiang Yue hurriedly said, "Officials are at ease. Erlang has always listened to me when he has been farming at home since he was a child. He only left his hometown after selling dates a few years ago. He has been wandering around and endured a lot of hardships, but never complained."
Wang Xiaolei said: "This is the best. By the way, did Erlang name it?"
Jiang Yue said: "Everyone in the countryside, if you call Jiang Erlang, you will know that it is my second son, which is enough."
Wang Xiaolei said: "Since I sent him here, let's give him a name."
After saying that, he thought for a while and couldn't help but laugh, "I'm not a scholar either. When I was here, I often urged me to study, but I couldn't read it, so I was often scolded by my father. So, I would like to give a simple name, don't laugh at me. Master said, "I'm smart and studious, and I'm not ashamed to ask questions. Erlang learns literacy quickly, so I can be said to be smart, so I call him Jiang Min. By the way, he took the words, and his words were easy to learn. He could be quick in his life but not easy to learn, and his future would be unlimited. Although the meaning is superficial, the truth is good."
Jiang Yue was overjoyed and hurriedly took his son to thank him.
Wang Xiaolei said: "I will write a book here and let Erlang take it with me. The army here will go to Dengzhou tomorrow, and Erlang will accompany you. Today you go home to clean up and don't treat your children badly."
Jiang Yue hurriedly said: "Officials and great virtues, but it is hard to repay a small man for being a cow or a horse!"
Wang Xiaoli waved his hand, looked up at Jiang Erlang and looked down, then hurriedly lowered. He couldn't help but smile. After this, this child didn't know if he would have any future. To be honest, it's not uncommon to know one or two thousand words, and he doesn't know how many of his subordinates are. But in such a village school, memorizing the reading book in three months is not something that ordinary people can do. They have talent, but they just don't know where they can go.
After saying a few gossips, Wang Xiaoli asked Jiang Yue to take his son away and go with the army back to Dengzhou to the military academy tomorrow.
After leaving Wang Xiaoli's residence, Jiang Yue looked at the sun in the sky and breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "How could we ever think that we could meet noble people here! Yesterday I asked the people in the village and realized that the person who lives there was a great official! A few days ago, he led a large army to repel the large number of Jin troops in Shanzhou! Erlang, you have this luck, please work hard to get a background!"
Jiang Min nodded, still a little confused. Although after several years of displaced, he always felt that life was dull. The hard days were just because they often didn’t have enough food, and they had to suffer a little, and they were often bullied. After the matter was over, it seemed that nothing was wrong.
What will happen if there is a future? Jiang Min doesn’t know. What should I learn when I go to Dengzhou? Jiang Min doesn’t know. But Jiang Min knows that his life will undergo earth-shaking changes. Sometimes he will be excited, but when he is excited, he feels nothing.
Jiang Yue didn't care what his son thought. What would the child have? When he got home, he asked his wife to kill a chicken, and then went to a tavern outside the village to buy a jar of wine, and invited people he knew in the village to celebrate. It was still early, and the guest did not come, so he took his son to the pond outside the village to catch fish. Today we must celebrate well.
Wang Xiaolie didn't think much about Jiang Erlang. He sent them away, and read the book for a while before studying the information around Caizhou.
Two days later, Wang Ruohai and Zhang Jun came together.
Let the two sit down, Wang Xiaolei said: "You all know that I want to occupy Caizhou and set up a guerrilla area outside. I have said the necessity of doing this many times. Although many people still don't understand, they all know what's going on."
Zhang Jun crossed his hands: "It makes sense to do this. When I saved Shanzhou, I sent someone to the city to deliver food, and then I was targeted by the Jin army. I sent Wanyan Huo girl to chase her with elite soldiers. If it weren't for Dong Guan's south, if it were Dong Guan's help, I would be very difficult for me to return to Shanzhou. This guerrilla area is the territory of Dong Guan's relative to Shanzhou."
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "What I said is right. But it is not entirely true. Since the Jin army came from the north, compared with Shanzhou, the guerrilla area should be the area around Jiezhou, Jiangzhou and Mengzhou. Dong observed the territory, as a guerrilla area, should be to prevent the Jin army from coming from Henan Prefecture. The reason for setting up the guerrilla area is that we are not strong enough and cannot confront the Jin army head-on. Another thing is that those places are owned by the imperial court, and the people's hearts are in me, and of course the latter point is the last point, and the people's hearts are in me."
Wang Ruohai never understood the idea of setting up guerrilla areas. If he could occupy these places, he would of course occupy them. The Jin army would attack and fight with all the elite troops. What kind of guerrilla areas seemed to be occupied but not occupied, and he didn't know what to do. He couldn't help but say: "Confiscation, now the officials of several states in the east fled, and no one was stationed. We should raise troops to occupy these cities and protect the people. What is the use of guerrilla areas? Isn't it a pity to occupy or not?"
Wang Xiaoliu said: "Tixing, occupy there, what if the Jin army comes to attack?"
Wang Ruohai said: "If the Jin army comes to attack, we will just stick to it. If we can't defend it, we will retreat to Caizhou."
Wang Xiaolei said: "If Caizhou cannot be defended?"
Wang Ruohai said: "Then you will return to Dengzhou."
Wang Xiaoli shook his head: "Tizheng, war is not like this. Isn't it easy to withdraw troops on the battlefield? If you don't say that the soldiers are damaged, you will retreat again and again, and you will have no way to retreat! With the size of the country, where is the place to settle down? If you can't defeat it, you will retreat. For example, we are easily uprooted at this time!"
After hearing this, Wang Ruohai didn't say anything. What Wang Xiaoli said seemed to make sense, but if you want to say it in detail, it also felt that it was unreasonable.
Wang Xiaoliu said: "Why should we build a guerrilla area? What is the role of a guerrilla area? If you don't explain this clearly, many people still can't understand it. I have said the reason for building a guerrilla area many times, because the strength is not as good as people, and the people there are in the court and there are conditions for building a guerrilla area. But the role of a guerrilla area is not clear enough. Let's put it this way, this year the Jin army crossed the river south, and there was no stopping the imperial army along the way, so why did they retreat in the end?"
Wang Ruohai said: "The Jin people were born in the north and were not used to the hot and humid south. In summer, they should naturally withdraw their troops."
Wang Xiaolie smiled and shook his head: "It's more than that. If Jiankang Prefecture was regarded as its base by the Jin people like Youzhou, how could the Jin army retreat? No matter how hot it is, it will not kill people. When a military strikes, one army needs to have logistics and reinforcements. There are also great risks if there is a lack of them. The distance supported by logistics and reinforcements can be regarded as the combat distance of the army. Now, because the Jin army is too strong and the court's military strength is too weak, the Jin army attacks all wealthy areas, and can be replenished locally. To a certain extent, the Jin army can ignore it.
This distance. But this year, it can be seen that the distance is farther than the Jin army, which is very dangerous. Establishing a guerrilla zone means artificially shortening the enemy's attack distance. If there is a guerrilla zone, the Jin army will attack me, even if it is one or two hundred miles away, it is like a thousand miles away. They cannot collect food there, and they must transport it from the rear. The grain transport team will be attacked by our army when passing through the guerrilla zone. The army in the front cannot fight with peace of mind, and the supply of food and grass cannot be raised. Without reinforcements, the combat power will be greatly reduced."
Wang Ruohai thought about it and couldn't help but shake his head: "Control, but after thinking about it, it's better for us to occupy there. The Jin army will attack and withdraw. The army withdrew, and there is still a guerrilla area."
Wang Xiaoliu said: "Now that the Jin army has occupied Kaifeng Prefecture. If you want to occupy those states, you have to send a large army. When the army moves, you can't leave and stay wherever you want. This time, this time, the imperial examination should be seen. Lessons are issued to Shaanxi Province. Lessons should be seen. Less than 30,000 troops will go to war and concentrate the efforts of several states."
Wang Ruohai frowned there and thought about it. Although he still didn't understand many places, he finally understood what Wang Xiaoli means.
