Fan Gui entered the tavern and was led to the small pavilion by the waiter. When he saw Zhe Yan's questioning, he sent the waiter away and asked, "What's the important thing that brought me here?"

Zheyan said: "Sit down, sit down and talk."

Fan Gui sat down, and Zhe Yanzhi ordered a glass of wine first. He put the glass down and said slowly: "When you go back this time, you have to tell Uncle Thirteen to contact Wang Xuanfu as soon as possible. Don't delay! The Jin people are destroyed.

I’m afraid it will only be in two or three years!”

Fan Gui was taken aback and asked hurriedly: "Why did my brother say this? Wang Xuanfu is going to launch a large-scale attack on Hedong?"

Zhe Yanzhi shook his head and said: "Because Wang Xuanfu has a sharp weapon in his army, which is artillery. This weapon is a sacred weapon in the army. It can destroy cities and strongholds and is unstoppable. I came to Luoyang this time to ask Wang Xuanfu

Submit a few to the court and copy them. I estimate that it will be distributed to all armies in a few months. At that time, how can the Jin army stop the imperial army? Not only Wang Xuanfu, but other armies will also start the Northern Expedition.

!”

Fan Guidao said: "In the battle of Shaanzhou, Wang Xuanfu annihilated more than 20,000 Jin troops in the first battle. He killed King Lisu in formation and used artillery. This kind of news has been known to the general manager for a long time. It was only among Wang Xuanfu's army that he

It’s just a matter of being on strict guard and not knowing the details.”

Zhe Yanzhi sighed: "I just heard people say that I never believed that artillery was so powerful! Before I came to Luoyang, I thought it was just like a bed crossbow, but it only shoots farther. Today I actually saw it, and I know where it is.

It is comparable to the bed crossbow! Set up a few artillery pieces on the battle formation, and the enemy will no longer be able to form a formation! If they cannot form a formation, how can the Jin army be a match for the imperial army? Moreover, this thing is good at attacking cities. With one shot, it can destroy the city wall.

.Think about it, with this thing in hand, how difficult it is to restore the Central Plains!"

Fan Gui thought for a while and said: "Is it really so powerful? If it is so powerful, why did Wang Xuanfu stop in Luoyang? Shouldn't he go all the way north and go straight to Youzhou? As long as you capture Youzhou, the Jin army will

Even Hedong cannot be defended."

Zheyan questioned: "Wang Xuanfu is a cautious person. He only wants to expand his troops and does not dare to take risks. All the generals in the imperial court are not ambitious! With artillery, they will not stick to the place and will definitely launch a large-scale northern expedition!"

Fan Gyu drank a glass of wine, thought about it, shook his head, and still couldn't believe it.

Zhe Yanzhi smiled and said to Fan Gui: "If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it's normal not to believe that the artillery is so powerful. Before coming to Luoyang, I didn't believe it either. But after seeing it with my own eyes today, I realized that the previous imagination of this artifact was really wrong.

I am short-sighted. Official, you don’t have any doubts about this. When you go back, tell Uncle Thirteen that this matter cannot be delayed. In the next two days, I will mention Fuzhou to Wang Xuanfu. However, Uncle Thirteen still needs to go first.

Send someone."

Fan Guidao said: "We have several state armies and tens of thousands of troops. Wouldn't it be underestimated to send people first?"

Zheyan questioned: "Wang Xuanfu has occupied Shizhou but turned a blind eye to Fuzhou. Don't you understand? If Uncle Thirteen doesn't take the initiative to send people, it is very likely that Wang Xuanfu will not send people either. Time is up.

, the army went straight out of Fuzhou, by that time it was too late!"

Fan Guidao: "Wang Xiaolie has such courage? Facing an army of tens of thousands, he can fight at will?"

Zheyan asked: "What's so strange? By not moving in Luoyang, we can see that Wang Xuanfu is not greedy for success or takes risks. He will only go out for a decisive battle if he has to expand his army and have absolute strength. Wait until Wang Xiaolie decides to attack.

At that time, tens of thousands of troops would probably not take it seriously."

Fan Gui was surprised: "We didn't expect this. Well, I will go back to Fuzhou in the next two days. If you need anything, just tell Shiba Lang."

Zhe Yanzhi agreed. He and Beom Gyu drank wine and chatted.

At the Henan government office, Cui Qing arrived at Wang Xiaolie's study. Seeing Wang Xiaolie sitting in front of the window with his eyes closed, Cui Qing stood quietly at the door.

Wang Xiaolie opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cui Qingdao: "After the First World War in Shaanzhou, Fuzhou Zhe Keqiu sent people to Luoyang. Because of the usual rules, he did not alert them. A few days ago, Zhe Kequu sent another person. We confirmed again and again before we knew he was here.

He was Zhe Kecuo's son-in-law Fan Gui. Since he only walked around the streets and did business on a daily basis, his whereabouts were not revealed. Zhe Yan came to Luoyang as hostage and had nothing to do with these people. It was just these two days.

Xuan Fu returned to Luoyang, and Zhe Yanzhi met Fan twice, but he didn't know what to say."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Zhe Keqiu is in an awkward position, so there is nothing strange about sending people to Luoyang. It would be interesting for Zhe Yanzhi to go see them."

Cui Qing said: "Zhe Yanzhi is an envoy from the imperial court. I don't know what to do with him, and I don't know what he is about."

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and said: "If my guess is correct, Zhe Keqiu should be looking for a way out. The Jin people made Liu Yu the emperor, so Zhe Keqiu was inevitably disappointed. Cao Zhiyan occupied Shizhou a few days ago

, and occupied the Wubao Village to attack the Jinning Army directly. Zhe Keqiu did not defend Wubao Village, which is a sign of his attitude toward us."

Cui Qingdao: "Xuan Fu, Zhe Yanzhi is an envoy from the imperial court, and he meets Zhe Keqiu. What should we do?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Normally speaking, Zhe Yanzhi is a minister of the imperial court, and Zhe Keqiu is a traitorous general of this dynasty. If they want to meet, they must report to the imperial court. However, things are complicated now, so we still take this matter seriously.

I don’t know.”

In fact, Zhe Keqiu was an important force of the Jin army in Shaanxi and Hezhong and could not be ignored. At this time, the Song Dynasty used Zhe Yanzhi, which had the intention of recruiting Zhe Keqiu to surrender in the future. However, it had to wait until Zhang Jun recaptured Qin Feng

, Jingyuan Road, and then sent Zheyan to surrender and surrender to Zhejia.

Cui Qing nodded and said yes.

Wang Xiaolie said: "There are many officials coming to Luoyang these days, but they have not been assigned any duties. Do you have any gossip?"

Cui Qing said: "Many people came with official documents from the imperial court and told them to be a certain official. But after arriving in Luoyang, they only had good food, drink and hospitality, so naturally some people complained. However, overall it was fine, with a few people complaining.

"

Wang Xiaolie said: "As long as there are a few people, don't worry about it. If there are too many people, there will always be everything. Don't force uniformity. Among these people, select a few who are particularly reliable and go to the Xuanfu Division.

To do things, who do you think are reliable?"

Cui Qing said: "Xuanfu, how can I dare to talk nonsense about such a big matter? I know what I should do."

Wang Xiaolie turned around and glanced at Cui Qing after hearing this. He said: "Among these people, who are clean and trustworthy, please make a list for me."

Cui Qing said: "A few days ago, I classified the officials who came and made a list. If possible, I will bring it over soon."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Okay, don't delay."
