A full moon hangs in the air, dotted with sparkling stars. The moon is like water, and the breeze blows, like a pool of spring water.

Wang Xiaolie looked at the moon in the sky and didn't say anything for a while. Wang Ruohai drank a sip of wine and ate the dishes, but he didn't know what it tasted.

After a long time, Wang Xiaolei said: "This dynasty has been established for nearly two hundred years. The Khitan cannot be destroyed in the north, and another Dangxiang has emerged in the west. Even if the whole country is devoted to the efforts of the whole country, it cannot be pacified. To be honest, there has never been such a dynasty that has occupied the Central Plains and established the country for a long time."

The chopsticks in Wang Ruohai's hand paused suddenly and nodded: "Defense is right."

"In this case, there are all things to say. Some say that the military strength of this dynasty is too weak, some say that the enemy is too strong, and some say that the dynasty cherishes the people's strength and does not fight against the enemy to conquer the country. There are all kinds of statements and all kinds of statements have all the truth. There are never a lack of reason in this world. What is lacking is whether you can recognize this truth or not. The Central Plains or the Central Plains, the Han people or the Han people, how come you can't defeat the barbarians when you arrive in this dynasty? After thinking about it, the only thing that can convince people is that the military strength of this dynasty is indeed not strong."

Wang Ruohai didn't say anything, just sat there quietly, holding chopsticks in his hand, without holding vegetables.

Wang Xiaolei said: "I was afraid that I would not dare to say this before. Now it is different. A new Jin Kingdom was established. After decades of its establishment, it destroyed the Great Liao Dynasty and broke Kaifeng. Ten or 20,000 people dared to travel thousands of miles, as if they were entering a land without a man. As a great country, how can people feel so humiliated? As a citizen of the Song Dynasty, it is really shameful to talk about this!"

Wang Ruohai said slowly: "What is the defense?"

Wang Xiaoliu said: "In the past, there was no territory, and nothing was useful to say. Now that there was territory and people, we should build a strong army and give this breath for the country! Now I occupy several states and millions of people, how could I still allow the Jin people to be so rampant! According to my wishes, it would take five to ten years to establish a powerful army, to chase the barbarians in the north, and to restore China! Let the Han people in this world be no longer bullied!"

Wang Ruohai nodded: "It is of course good to have this ambition to defend."

Wang Xiaoli looked at Wang Ruohai and said, "No matter how good this ambition is, it is not easy to do it. What is the difference between the army and the people? It is not that the army has swords and guns, horses, and armor, but that they are organized and disciplined, and can resolutely carry out orders! Establishing a strong army, just recruiting the people into the army and sending swords and guns is not enough, far from enough! They must be allowed to strictly abide by discipline and resolutely implement orders! This time, this rescue of Shanzhou, I see the entire battle process. The soldiers of the prefectures and states of Zhe Keqiu are not our opponents at all, and the Khitans face the front.

It is not the same as it is. Only those Zhenjuchens can fight head-on! Our army has only been established for more than a year. How can we have such combat effectiveness? We have strong logistics support, clear and clear commands, strict formations, skillful combat skills, and firm will. From officials to soldiers, we not only execute orders on the battlefield, but also change at any time. These qualities are not available in other troops. We have trained them in more than a year! In other words, as long as we have the correct training, the people can also become a strong army!"

Wang Ruohai said: "In the late Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties, it is common for arrogance and powerful generals to be arrogant and powerful in the midst of more than a hundred years. Being able to lead an army to encounter strong enemies can be considered a famous general. What defense is said is not something that the current generals can do."

Wang Xiaoli nodded: "Yes, the current army is difficult to use for great use because of the old system. It is too difficult to plunder the people, and when facing strong enemies, it is a battle. How can it be done? So we have to start all over again before the army can be useful for great use!"

Wang Ruohai nodded and said nothing.

Wang Ruohai did not think that the team's system, organization, etc. was inappropriate. In his eyes, military should be planned and the army should implement orders. After arriving in Dengzhou, he had more contact with Wang Xiaoli, and when he saw Xinye training, his thoughts changed.

The combat effectiveness of the army is directly related to its organizationality and execution ability, not just individual soldiers' ability. It is far from enough that the weapons are better than others and the physical fitness of soldiers is stronger. For example, now, the organizational strength and execution ability of the Jin army are far greater than that of the Song army.

Wang Xiaoli said: "If you want to train troops, you will be inseparable from money and food. Over the past year, in order to train more than 30,000 soldiers, I spent as much money as I had, and I had no savings. Who else in the world is like me who leads troops?"

In this world, no one is like Wang Xiaohu. Other famous generals, such as Yue Fei, Li Yanxian and others, are not greedy for money, but they will not spend all their money like Wang Xiaohu. In the past few months, Wang Xiaohu has been trying to issue paper money and activate the economy, but because they have no capital, things have never started. Wang Xiaohu's current money is only enough to support the army's money and grain, and also pay salaries to officials.

Wang Ruohai knew this very well. He heard Wang Xiaohun complain and said, "Defense and support tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are several states. If you don't want the army and officials to be wronged, you can only feel wronged yourself."

Wang Xiaoli shook his head: "It is not a matter of grievance, but a matter of being wronged. People say that eating food in the army can make the army hungry? Not to mention that if they want to eat, their families also have to eat, and the salary must be distributed. My family doesn't have many family members, and they cannot afford to spend money, so there is no need to care about this moment. When I talk about money, I don't mean how I am, but I just say that it's hard to do things without money."

Sharing suffering with soldiers and not greedy for money, many generals in this era can do it. The nearest ones are like Li Yanxian, the far ones are like Yue Fei, and there are some other generals. This is a tradition in China since ancient times, and it is not surprising.

When Wang Xiaoli was training soldiers, he often compared himself to Yue Fei. In history, how did Yue Fei train and what the soldiers he trained were like, he could not be worse than him. Later, after staying for a long time, he gradually realized that he could not compare with Yue Fei. If he had more knowledge than him, he should have practiced better than him. In other words, if Yue Fei had more knowledge than he had, he would definitely be much better than himself now.

Yue Fei, whether it is historical records or legends of the Romance, often portrayed him as a person who is loyal to the country, strict with himself, and lenient with others. In fact, Yue Fei is not that simple? In this chaotic era, it is certainly not simple to be able to go from a small officer to a military leader and a general from a military leader to a national general. No one dares to underestimate him in the world and leave his reputation for his eternal reputation.

People need to grow up. Yue Fei was different from later. Later, Yue Fei became more and more calm, but he had a hot temper when he was young and could not tolerate others. As Yue Fei's boss, he was not as interested as him, but had a bad relationship and was difficult to get along with. Yue Fei first showed up and was under the command of Zhang, under the jurisdiction of Wang Yan. Later, the two were disagreeable, and Yue Fei left Wang Yan. Later, he was subordinate to Zongze, and Zongze died and Du Chong was subordinate to Du Qi. In the battle of Yangzhou, Du Qi unified the 60,000 Song army to fight less than 1,000 Jin army, but the army was disbanded, and Yue Fei was among the people who were disbanded.

In the early Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial court appointed the sanctuary envoy and slightly restored the law of vassal states. Yue Fei was appointed as the sanctuary envoy of Tongtai. People in later generations were amazed that Yue Fei was so loyal to the country, how could he be appointed as the sanctuary envoy? How fresh was that Yue Fei at that time, not Yue Fei later, but was appointed as the sanctuary envoy. It was just that Yue Fei was devoted to the country and had strong ability to lead troops, transforming his image into his later image.

Wang Xiaoli and Yue Fei met and did not have close friendships, but felt that this person was not consistent with the person he had in his impression. When it came into contact too early, he was afraid that he would not be able to make up his position and would be bad. Wang Xiaoli was not as good as Zhao Gou and did not have Zhao Gou's status. He still had this self-knowledge. Don't think that Zhao Gou was not good because of his weakness and insisted on surrendering. In terms of power and skills, Zhao Gou was still very strong in controlling subordinates. At this time, Zhao Gou was like a dog with a broken family and was in panic all day long. Once the Jin army retreated, he still lived in the temple and no one dared to accept it. This is also a skill.

There are various statements about Zhao Gou killing Yue Fei. Some people have made great contributions to Yue Fei, some people have made great contributions to the world, some people have scolded Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, and of course some have been punished for these two people. The reasons for the tragedy were even more strange. In fact, the matter is not complicated. It is the struggle between the war-first factions and the peace-first factions of the Southern Song Dynasty court, and Yue Fei's murder was the climax.

At the beginning, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui originally wanted to kill Han Shizhong. Han Shizhong went to the palace to plead with mercy, but instead killed Yue Fei. Why were these two people? Because among the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, these two people were the ones who were the warlords. Killing a general and letting the Jin Dynasty see the sincerity of harmony was the purpose of Zhao Gou and Qin Hui. Wushu also said that it was necessary to kill Yue Fei before reconciliation. After Yue Fei's death, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui carried out a major purge on the officials of the warlords, and there were countless officials involved.

As for what some people say about suppressing military affairs with literature, it is even more invisible. Does the court have this idea? Of course, there is. But it is not reflected in this matter. After Yue Fei's death, Zhang Jun's status rose and the power of military generals increased. In fact, Yue Fei's generals were not implicated, and of course they did not just make a case for Yue Fei.

At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty had a weak army and did not form its own will. Although it was called the Yue Family Army, the Han Family Army, the Wu Family Army, and so on, they were actually the army of the court, and their independence was not strong. Many generals had the will to defend the country and restore their hometown, but the entire army did not have the will to independent. The main responsibility for Yue Fei's death was the peace faction represented by Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, and the army should also have part of the responsibility.

Seeing that Wang Ruohai didn't speak, Wang Xiaoli said: "According to my estimate, the Jin army may not attack every year in the next few years as before. Instead, they will choose a few key points and fight a few more battles with the court. Overall, the war should be slow and no longer like before. This is a rare opportunity. I want to spend the past few years to develop the local area and have a lot of money and food. Also, recruit more troops, train hard, and prepare for a big battle. These things are not easy, so I don't have more energy and time to take care of the guerrilla area. Therefore, the burden of withdrawing punishment is very heavy!"

Wang Ruohai was stunned for a moment and said, "I thought it was Zhang Jun who was the main force to build a guerrilla zone. I could provide money and food later."

Wang Xiaoli shook his head: "Zhang Jun is responsible for the army and war in the guerrilla area, and he doesn't care about anything else. But the guerrilla area is not a war! There are other important things. First, it is the enemy situation. Tixing must establish his own personnel to reconnaissance the enemy situation, set up a wide range of strongholds, and strive to achieve every move of the enemy. This matter is controlled by Tixing himself, and Zhang Jun does not participate. The persons involved in this matter are only known by Tixing and the appointed officials. Their identities cannot be disclosed, and even Zhang Jun cannot. This is not to distrust Zhang Jun and the military personnel, but because the situation in the enemy area is complicated, and once they participate in the war, it is difficult to hide their identities."

Wang Ruohai was shocked when he heard this: "Defense actually had this idea, which was beyond my expectations!"

Wang Xiaoli said: "I have been thinking about this for a long time, and it will only be done today. Not only here, but also in Shaanxi, we must do this. It is the case. Knowing yourself and your enemy, and the people will be victorious. To know your enemy, you have to spend these thoughts. I have a case for this matter, and we will discuss it in detail in the future."

Wang Ruohai said: "I know. No wonder Defense attaches so much importance to this matter. If you need to know the enemy's situation, I will understand it."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "In addition, the affairs of the people in the guerrilla area must also be punished to be managed. They are already in the enemy area, and whether they can live a good life or not, whether they need relief and food and grass, they must be managed. There is always a saying that the officials there are not our officials, but the people are our people."
