Shao Ling and Niu Gao entered the yard and saw Wang Xiaoli, Chen Yuyi, Wang Ruohai and Zhang Jun were already sitting there. Each of the three of them held a big palm fan in their hands and shook it from time to time. Looking from a distance, they felt like they were floating in the air.

After coming forward to salute, Wang Xiaoliu ordered them to sit down. He said, "This morning, Senator Wang and Zhang Jun arrived in Xinye. I thought I hadn't seen each other for many days, so I specially invited you to welcome them."

"It should be, it should be." Niu Gao hurriedly bowed. Among the generals he knew, only Zhang Jun really liked wine. He got together, but Zhang Jun was not present, so he always felt that drinking was boring.

Wang Xiaolei said: "In addition to receiving the wind, the two of them also brought some news. Now you are in charge of the army, let's discuss it together."

Shao Ling saw that the atmosphere was a little solemn. He crossed his hands and said, "I wonder what's the big deal?"

Wang Xiaoliu said: "According to the news received by Senator Wang, the Wushu troops stationed in Liuhe will come to Luoyang soon and prepare to fight in Shaanxi. If Wushu comes to Luoyang, it means that the focus of their combat in the future will be Shaanxi for the Jinlu."

Shao Ling nodded. After thinking for a while, he said, "The deployment of the Jin army is under the command of the Eastern Army. The focus of the Jin army's attack has always been Jianghuai and Liangzhe. If Wu Shu is transferred to the Western Front, it means that the entire deployment has changed."

Wang Xiaoli nodded.

The Jin army heading south was divided into two groups, with the west and west coach Wanyan Zonghan, Jin Ming Nianhan, the east coach Wanyan Chang, and Jin Ming Talai. This is not a simple division of troops, but represents the two major forces of the Jin Kingdom.

Nianhan was the eldest son of Wanyan Sagai, the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty. He did not belong to the royal family of the Jin Dynasty, but to the leader of another major tribe of the Jurchens. Wanyan Aguda was able to establish the country, and Wanyan Sagai's father and son made a lot of efforts. Generals of the Western Army, such as Wanyan Yinshuke brothers, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Loushi and others, as well as Gao Qingyi, Han Qixian and others, all belonged to Nianhan's forces.

When the Jin army advanced south, Nianhan was the commander-in-chief. After breaking through Kaifeng Prefecture, he was powerful and took Yunzhong as his foundation. Later, he attacked the Song Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty used Talai as the commander-in-chief of the East Road, and a large part of the troops of the West Road Army were transferred to the East Road.

If the main attack direction of the Jin army was changed to Shaanxi, it would not only represent the change in the Jin army's strategy. Wu Shu went to Shaanxi, but also had the contradiction with the West Road coach Nianhan. How to develop in the future is unpredictable.

After listening to Chen Yuyi's analysis, the rest of the people nodded and understood the significance of this matter.

Wang Xiaoliu said: "The place of Xiang Deng is quite special, right in the middle. The Jin army is divided into two groups, east and west, and we happened to avoid it, but we were not isolated from each group. Wu Shu came to the west and was likely to conflict with us."

Shao Ling said: "If Wu Shu arrives in Luoyang and wants to go west to Shaanxi, he must pass Shanzhou. The Jin army has a large number of troops this time, which is not comparable to the beginning of the year. If the Jin army encircles Shanzhou again, will we go and rescue them?"

Wang Xiaoli shook his head: "Zhang Shumi is about to fight the Jin army to make a decisive battle, and he will not let Li Guan stand firm in Shanzhou anymore."

Niu Gao said: "Shaanzhou is in the hands of this dynasty. Why didn't Zhang Shumi first wipe out Guanzhong and go out to Luoyang to fight the Jin army?"

Wang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Most of the troops under Zhang Shumi were Western Army, and some of them came from Sichuan and Shu. During the Jingkang period, most of the troops from the Western Army from the east collapsed. I am afraid they would refuse to let them come."

Everyone nodded. At this time, the authority of the court actually did not have that much binding force on the generals in commanding the army. Zhang Jun could order the Western Army to launch an offensive in Shaanxi, and it would be difficult for them to leave Shaanxi.

The sun in the west has already lie on the top of the mountain and the weather has become cooler.

Wang Xiaolei said: "It is rare that people gather so much today. I prepare some wine and food, and drink and talk while drinking."

It won’t take much time to come. In such a hot weather, cold dishes are mainly used. Another dish of mutton, two pork elbows, a chicken, and a fish. The wine is still cold wine, which just relieves the heat.

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Xiaoliu said: "I guess Wushu will have a conflict with us when he arrives in Luoyang. Zhang Shumi took the initiative to launch an attack. The Jin army must respond and will not attack the Xiang Deng area. But we must not be on guard. After returning, the army will prepare. In a few months, a large army may be sent to Ruzhou."

Shao Ling and Niu Gao said it was together.

Wang Xiaoliudao: "The Jin army mainly attacks the southeast, which is the same for us. It is mainly attacking Shaanxi, which is another. Attacking the southeast, only a partial army wants to return from Dengzhou and is repelled by us at Jingmen. Attacking Shaanxi will not be like this. Dengzhou to Shangzhou is the main road to Shaanxi. Jinzhou to the west is the main road to enter Sichuan and Shu. Although these two roads are difficult to walk, people always want to walk when the war is not going well. Therefore, the next few years will not be as peaceful as the previous two years, and it will be so peaceful. Although it is not the main direction of the Jin army, there should be wars."

Going south from the Central Plains to Dengzhou, seize Xiangyang, occupy the upper reaches, and threaten the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, is an important channel for the north to attack the south. For example, the Mongolian destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, and the most important thing was to seize Xiangyang. However, at this time, the Jin army could not even gain a foothold in the Central Plains, let alone seize Xiangyang, threatening the Southern Song Dynasty. Without decades, the Jin army could not complete the preparations for the attack from the middle. At least in the short term, Wang Xiaoli's territory was still very safe. The biggest threat was that Dengzhou was a wing of attacking Shaanxi and might confront the Jin army's partial division.

Chen Yuyi said: "The court officials often talked about the place where the emperor stationed in His Majesty is the Guanzhong in Shaanxi, followed by Ezhou, and the worst is the southeast. However, judging from the current appearance of the court, it should be decided to be in the southeast."

Wang Ruohai said: "To stay in Your Guanzhong, the court must have the determination to fight the Central Plains in the north. If it is just a corner, it will naturally be another matter."

Wang Xiaoli nodded: "Yes, the determination of the court has a great impact on the general trend of the world. We cannot control these things, and we will not spend more time. What we are thinking about now is how to develop our strength in the Bazhou Prefecture of Xiang Deng and accumulate a large army that can enter the Central Plains. This cannot be accomplished overnight, and it will never be done in a few years. So we must be patient, manage our internal affairs well, and wait for opportunities."

The sun slowly sets down the mountain. Several people are drinking while discussing the situation ahead.

At this time, the Jin army did not have a clear strategy, and was also affected by internal forces. In addition, the northern Mongolia began to rise, the military pressure on the Song Dynasty was actually not as good as in previous years. After Wu Shu searched the mountains and checked the sea last year, the situation actually eased.

After drinking for a while, Wang Xiaoli picked up the palm-leaf fan and shook it a few times. He said, "In fact, whether the Jin army attacked the East Road or the West Road, the strategy I mentioned before remained unchanged. For us, we should try our best to move the people south to make it a place without people. In addition to moving the people, we should also turn several states into guerrilla areas. The eastern road and several states were flat, and no matter how they moved, the people could not move them all. Once there was no war, there was no way for someone to go farm. We could only use guerrilla methods to unite the people and not be used by the Jin people."

Wang Ruohai said: "In recent years, I have basically figured out the details of several states in Caizhou. The imperial court appointed Feng Changning as Chenzhou and Yingzhou governor. How could Feng Changning manage so much? Now Feng Changning is in Chenzhou and leaves the city of the prefecture, he will not be under his control. Now, in Chenzhou and Yingzhou, various forces of all sizes occupy the city and establish villages, and officials are useless."

Wang Xiaoliendao: "What are the main forces in the two states with strong strength?"

Wang Ruohai said: "The strongest ones are local tyrants. Another one, ashamed of being, escaped from our army. These people each occupy the territory and control the place."
