Putting down the official document in his hand, Wang Xiaolie's eyes were a little moist.

The official document was sent by Xue Cheng. In the name of Li Songchen, dozens of leaders of small and large rebel armies in central and southern Shanxi jointly signed, willing to obey orders and cooperate with Xue Cheng in fighting the Jin army. The words in it were sincere, expressing their determination to fight to the end.

Standing up, Wang Xiaoxian said: "Since Jingkang, the Jin captives have conquered the two rivers, and countless rebels have risen up. Many people have died and their souls have been sacrificed, fighting against the Jin army at the cost of their lives. There are still some people who cannot hold on and have to cross."

Crossing the river, such as Wang Yan of Jin Junfang and other tribes. There are also some people who stick to their homeland and fight against the Jin army under extremely difficult conditions. It is not easy for these people. How can we let them down?"

Wang Ruohai said: "I see from the documents that these rebels are quite large in number. If they can be organized properly, they will be of great use!"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Without training, it will be difficult for the rebels to adapt to the confrontation between the two armies. Looking at the large number, it is of course useful for them to delay the movement of the Jin army or serve as guides. But if they set up a formation,

The combat effectiveness of most armies will be disappointing. This is not the fault of the rebels. They are facing such a battle and can only become such an army. If

If you have been trained and equipped with equipment, that is another matter. You send a message telling Xue Cheng that in the frontal battle with the Jin army, his army should be the main force. Let the rebels spy on the enemy and disrupt the enemy. Also,

Taking advantage of the emptiness in Guanzhong now, send them some money, silk, food and grass. Let them persist for a few more years and endure hardship for a few more years. It will still be of great use when the imperial army counterattacks."

Wang Ruohai said yes.

Li Yanxian said: "More than two years ago, Lousu ravaged Shaanxi and broke through the Yanyan Road. Many rebels lost contact with the imperial court. Many generals in our army crossed the river to surrender at that time."

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "It is difficult for the rebels behind enemy lines. Without the support of external forces, it is difficult to form a stable base area. And without a base area, it is difficult to develop. If you cannot develop, you will always face the encirclement and suppression of the Jin people. This

Isn’t it easy to persevere in this kind of life?”

After saying that, Wang Xiaolie paced back and forth in the room and said: "Tell Xue Cheng to check the road from Jiangzhou south, and it is best to leave a reliable contact person. After this battle, we cannot stop

Contact them and provide some help when necessary.”

Wang Ruohai promised.

The difficulties faced by the northern rebels at the turn of the Song Dynasty had a lot to do with Zhao Gou. In Zhao Gou's eyes, these rebels were more like thieves except in some special times. Zhao Gou would rather surrender to the Jin army than surrender to the rebels.

Any support.

In the face of the invasion of the Jin army, the frontal battlefield and the rebel forces behind enemy lines should complement each other, and each is a part of the war. If the frontal battlefield goes smoothly, the rebel forces behind enemy lines will develop greatly, providing more assistance to the frontal battlefield. If the frontal battlefield collapses thousands of miles away, the rebel forces behind enemy lines will become even more powerful.

difficult.

When Li Yanxian was in Shaanzhou, the rebels south of Hedong Road could get support. If Li Yanxian was in trouble, it would be difficult for these rebels to support him.

The strength of the Jin Army made it difficult to effectively occupy Hedong and Hebei. Just like the Hedong Road, when the Jin Army attacked Shaanxi, only Wanyan's very capable army of about 10,000 people was left. Most of the Hedong Road states

In the county, the Jin army only served as a guard. The same is true on Hebei Road. Once the army came out, most of the places behind it were empty cities.

If the Song army had 200,000 to 300,000 powerful troops, it could hold back the Jin army on the front line. Even if it was a stalemate, within one or two years, the Jin army would be at war with the rear, and the front line army would be defeated even if it was not defeated.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolie shook his head helplessly. In the battle of Fuping, the Song army lost 200,000 troops, which was a huge loss. Proper use of these 200,000 troops can drag the main force of the Jin army in Shaanxi. It only takes two

Thirty thousand people entered Hedong, cutting off the Jin army's retreat. It is not unfair to say that Zhang Jun was ambitious and talented, but he ruined the largest mobile corps in the Song Dynasty at once.

Now Wang Xiaolie is very distrustful of the imperial court and other generals of the Song Army. To fight against the Jin Army, he mainly relies on his own strength. Even if he needs to lie dormant for a while, he will not take risks. Yue Fei has not grown up yet. At this time,

The generals, including the famous general Han Shizhong, had terrible records in fighting the Jin army. A large-scale battle with the Jin army would most likely result in the loss of the main army.

Wang Ruohai wrote the official document, Wang Xiaolie and Li Yanxian signed it and ordered it to be sent.

Sitting down on his seat, Wang Xiaolie said: "After the Fuping War, the momentum of the Jin Army was at its peak. From the overall situation, the enemy is strong and we are weak. This situation has not changed. Now we have no chance of a big battle with the Jin Army.

Basically, you should try to avoid frontal combat. When attacking, attack the enemy's weak points, and when defending, try to make use of favorable terrain. Don't care about one thing.

To gain or lose the city, we must pursue the effective force to destroy the Jin army. We fought like this. When Wushu's army came to attack, they abandoned Guozhou and retreated to Lushi. The hundreds of miles of mountains from Guozhou to Lushi were used to help us defend. Jin

As soon as the army left, they immediately sent out troops to defeat Wei Yi's weak point. At this time, Guozhou was reoccupied, and the entire Guanzhong was in front of him."

Li Yanxian said: "What Zhenfu said is that if I had figured this out earlier and took the initiative to withdraw from Guozhou, the losses would have been less."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "We need to be clear. The Jurchens have risen rapidly and their numbers are small, so their military strength is naturally limited. Killing a few thousand people will be a huge blow to the Jin Army. Killing more than 10,000 Jin Army will directly affect the Jin Army.

The greater the number of troops accumulated, the greater the hope of victory. In the next few years, we must adhere to this principle. While training troops, we will destabilize the surrounding Jin army."

Having said this, Wang Xiaolie turned around and said to Wang Ruohai: "Write a letter to Li Songchen. In the next few years, I hope they can keep fighting and not fight the Jin army head-on. To do these ten

Six words: the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy garrisons and we disturb, the enemy tires and we harass

Fight, if the enemy retreats, we will pursue. Don't pursue occupying the city, insisting on the following is victory. Spend your thoughts mainly on uniting the people, so that the Jin army cannot recruit troops and food on Hedong Road. When the imperial army grows stronger, cooperate with

The army marches to the north!"

Wang Ruohai read it silently and said with a smile: "These sixteen words are interesting. They look simple, but in reality they are very learned."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The combat policy for the army must be simple and effective. There are too many principles for everyone to understand. It is best for such a strategic policy to be like a jingle, which everyone can understand as soon as they hear it."

These sixteen words are of course very learned. The combat policy of guerrilla warfare was summarized by teachers after arduous battles and in practice. These sixteen words are very simple, but it is not easy to implement them.

After a pause, Wang Xiaolie said again: "If we want the rebels to be successful on Hedong Road, we must unite and make dozens of rebel villages become a whole. If we become a whole, we can make great strides forward in the battle."

Retreat. Let the Jin army lose the support of the people on Hedong Road. Let the enemy lose the support of the people. We get the support of the people, which is the most important."

Wang Ruohai didn't seem to understand these words, so he just wrote them down one by one. The military thinking at this time was actually very backward. In the army, officers managed soldiers mainly by class law and severe punishment. The relationship between officers and soldiers was like this, let alone talking about the relationship with the soldiers.

It’s about the people.
