Chapter 717 Did the Jin army grab the cannon?

Ying Niang went out and bought a box of snacks from a shop on Changxiamen Street. She then went to a tea shop on the side and bought a bag of good tea. She held it in her hand and transferred it to the post office not far away.

The concierge made an announcement, and the official who had promoted this place hurried out.

Handing over the gift in her hand, Ying Niang said: "Thank you very much for bothering me with this matter!"

Ren Yasi took the gift and handed it to the doorman on the side. He said to Yingniang: "It's a small effort. Madam, you are very polite."

Ying Niang watched Menzi put away the gifts curiously, full of confusion.

Chief Ren said: "The post office is run by the government. When you receive a gift, you must hand it over to the official office immediately. You are not allowed to keep it privately. If you are found to have kept a gift privately, you will be severely punished. By the way, the postman who will arrive at Luoshan tomorrow will set off.

, is your wife’s letter ready too?”

Ying Niang hurriedly took the letter out of her arms and handed it to Ren Yasi. She said: "We haven't seen each other for several years, and I don't know where to start talking about many things. My officials have written this letter many times, but I still feel that there are many things that have not been written.

Well, I don’t know how my parents are doing now.”

Ren Yasi said: "I heard that they live near Shangcheng Town. There are many mountains there and there are several mountain and water villages. They have been peaceful in the past few years. Although there is little flat land there, the land is fertile. As long as there is no war, there will be no hardship."

Ying Niang nodded and said, "It's fine if I don't have to endure hardship. - I've endured a lot of hardship in the past few years."

After saying that, he lowered his head and seemed lost in thought, as if he was remembering the life he had lived in the past few years.

Ren Yasi knew that Ying Niang had lived an inhumane life in Longde Mansion, and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, now in Luoyang, Wei officials have entered the school and become officials in a few months. You will have a good life."

.”

"I hope so." Ying Niang raised her head and flipped her hair. "I hope my parents will come to Luoyang soon after seeing the letter."

The magistrate of Guangzhou is Xu Yue, who belongs to Huainan West Road and is not under the supervision of Wang Xiaolie. Xu Yue is not a court official, but came from a local tycoon. After Jingkang, he built a landscape village on the bank of the Yellow River. Kong Yanzhou surrendered to Liu Yu, and Guangzhou was under attack

Due to the influence, Xu Yue became the most powerful one, and the imperial court took advantage of the situation and appointed Xu Yue as the magistrate of Guangzhou.

Xu Yue, the leader of Shanshui Village for so many years, has been extremely tactful. No one from the surrounding forces can offend him. The territory uses both the pseudo-Qi and the Song Dynasty titles. Wang Xiaolie, who is very close at hand, is even more respectful and will never compete with the nearby Luoshan.

Conflicts broke out in Xinxi and other counties.

After receiving the news about her parents, Ying Niang couldn't help but be anxious and wanted to fly to Guangzhou. However, Wei Anxing finally entered the school and his career had just started to pick up, so he couldn't leave Luoyang. Later, he went to the Xuanfu Secretary to do the congratulations, and through his connections,

Ask Nasan County to send a message to Gwangju.

Wei Anxing found the post office, and Ren Cuisi saw that he was an official with a promising future, and was very attentive. He asked Yingniang to go back and write a letter, and sent it to Luoshan as quickly as possible. Luoshan had someone go to Shangcheng Town to buy the goods.

Medicinal materials, and bring the letter to Ying Niang’s parents when the time comes.

After handing the letter to Ren Yasi, Ying Niang left the post office and looked at the sun in the sky, feeling a little melancholy. She thought that she was born in a wealthy family and should have lived a happy life. She didn't want to have a war and be separated from her family.

Fang. I don’t know if my parents are doing well in the past few years.

Thinking of the past days in Longde Mansion, Ying Niang was a little lost. If she hadn't met Wei Anxing, she might have become food for wild dogs. In such chaotic years, I don't know how many people were like me, silently

die.

Henan Fuyamen, Wang Xiaolie, Li Yanxian, Wang Ruohai and Wang Yan gathered around the table and each looked at the official document.

Putting down the official document in his hand, Wang Xiaoxing said: "In July, Wan Yanchang sent troops from Suqian, went south to attack Sizhou, and pushed into Haozhou and Chuzhou. After living in the south for several years, the Jurchens are not afraid of the heat anymore?"

Wang Ruohai said: "When Wan Yanchang came, the imperial court was frightened. Zhang Jun, who was in Ezhou, was appointed as the propaganda envoy of Zhejiang and Zhejiang to protect the holy cavalry. Yue Fei moved to Zhenjiangzhou and together with Liu Guangshi, defended the Jianghuai River. The imperial defense was tight.

, Wanyanchang doesn’t have many troops, and this time going south, there should be only loud thunder and light rain.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "I always feel that this matter is a bit strange. If the Jin army wants to invade the south, it must sign a large-scale army and prepare for several months. Otherwise, where will the supplies of food and grass for his tens of thousands of troops come from? But I didn't hear this this time

Jingdong signed a contract. It can be regarded as silent, but suddenly it went south."

Wang Yandao: "Yes, Wanyanchang looks menacing, but in fact he doesn't have many troops. Moreover, after capturing Sizhou, he stayed there and showed no intention of continuing southward. The imperial court mobilized troops and generals to Huaidong,

It’s really not necessary.”

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "It has only been a few years since Wushu searched the mountains and seas? No matter how small Wanyanchang's troops are, they will not be less than Wushu."

Several people nodded together and stopped talking.

Yes, Wu Shu had more than 30,000 troops, and he still dared to divide his troops into two groups and treat the Song Dynasty as if it were nothing. Wan Yanchang is now the right deputy marshal of the Jin Army, and his troops are much larger than Wu Shu's back then. Why?

Don’t you dare to go south in a big way?

Li Yanxian suddenly said: "The imperial court is gathering a large army towards Huaidong. Isn't it because there are no soldiers and horses in Huaixi?"

Wang Ruohai said: "Huaixi is facing Liu Yu. He has not mobilized troops, so why worry?"

Li Yanxian said: "But the cannons brought by Zhedu Cheng from us are about to arrive in Ezhou. If the Jin army wants to seize the cannons, they only need to send a few thousand people, but the imperial court will have no troops to send after them! The Jin army suffered a heavy defeat in the last battle.

After the loss of artillery, it is human nature to put some thought into this matter."

Wang Ruohai was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly picked up the map of Jiangfang placed aside and looked at it. He said, "That's true! Counting the days, Zhe Ducheng should leave De'an Mansion and arrive in Fuzhou soon. The situation there is complicated.

, but ordinary bandits don’t dare to discount Du Cheng’s idea. Now that Captain Zhang has left Ezhou and Yue Fei has gone to Jiangzhou, there are no large armies in Huangzhou and Qizhou.”

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "I have always believed that weapons are very important, but the combat effectiveness of the army cannot be attributed entirely to the weapons. The power of artillery is huge, which is a fact. But what the Jin army wanted was how to deal with artillery, and

We are not here to seize artillery. To seize artillery, you may or may not be able to seize it. Only if your own army changes its tactics and conducts corresponding training can it be controlled. Now it seems that what I thought was probably wrong. Jin

People don’t think that way.”

Wang Ruohai said: "Xuan Fu also thinks that the Jin people are going to steal Du Cheng's artillery this time?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "That's not the case. There is no reason for Wan Yanchang to go south. It's not two years ago now. Without the cooperation of others, Wan Yanchang couldn't threaten Jiangnan at all. He was unprepared and suddenly went south to seize.

If we don’t advance quickly in Xia Sizhou, what else can we do?”

Wang Ruohai looked at the map in his hand and said helplessly: "Zhe Ducheng should be near Ezhou, but we want to remind him that it's too late. Ezhou is thousands of miles away, and we are really beyond our reach."

After saying that, he looked at the map for a while and said, "Where does Xuanfu think the Jin people will take action?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "It depends on the appetite of the Jin people. If you just rob the craftsmen, rather than the cannons in person, you can do it hundreds of miles below Ezhou. If you want to rob a few cannons, then you can just rob them."

It’s time to think about things near Huangzhou.”

Wang Ruohai nodded and said: "Yes, the only place where the Jin people can move their minds is Huangzhou. There happens to be the Qiting River. Going north, over the Dabie Mountains, from Shangcheng Town and Gushi County, you can reach Hao by waterway.

However, they have to pass through Gwangju, maybe they will be allowed to pass?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Xu Yue was originally a local tycoon in Guangzhou, and he was extremely smooth. Even now, he still uses the reign names of Shaoxing and Fuchang at the same time, so no one can offend him. If the Jin people really leave from him, he will try his best to stop him? What a pity.

We don’t have heavy troops in the Xinyang Army either.”

After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads together.

The Xinyang Army is in the rear area, and there is no strong force on the Huainan West Road next to it. Wang Xiaolie has not deployed heavy troops there. Suddenly something like this happens, and there will be no troops to mobilize. If troops are sent from other places, when they arrive in Guangzhou, Huanghua

The dishes are cold.
