In the middle of the night, after they had had enough wine and food, some of the leaders lived in the temple, and some of the leaders followed Wang Xiao out for hunting. Only then did they realize that there were soldiers standing every few steps on both sides of the street, and they could not see the end at a glance.

These leaders thought that their affairs were extremely secretive and would never be discovered by outsiders. Only then did they realize that their every move was under the control of Wang Xiaolie, and there was no secret at all. This ruined temple was not

The government already knows where the secret is.

Wang Xiaolie said: "It will be very late for everyone to gather here tonight. I told the east gate of the city to be left open, so you can go back to the inn to rest."

The leaders looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Zhou Rong sighed secretly in his heart. He knew that leaders like himself were like child's play in front of the real commander of the army.

Wang Xiaolie mounted his horse, said goodbye to everyone, and gradually disappeared into the dark night.

Zhang Guangdao: "Zhi Niang, the guards outside have not withdrawn. I am afraid they will escort us back to the inn. What's the point of sleeping in the temple tonight? Tell everyone to get up and go back to the inn and have a good rest."

After saying that, he returned to the ruined temple, asked the staggering people to get up, and went back to the inn together.

Wang Xiaolie left guards behind because some of these leaders had grudges to avoid disputes. In Shizhou City, unity is the most important thing.

The next day, Wang Xiaolie came to the official hall. Wang Ruohai and Wang Yan had already arrived.

Seeing Wang Xiaolie coming over, Wang Ruohai stood up in a hurry and said: "How? There are dozens of leaders in the surrounding forts, it's terrible!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "The good thing is that they are determined to resist the Jin and are not willing to be the Jin's lackeys. The bad thing is that the troops are limited and can only be used as auxiliary forces to help stabilize the order. There is no hope of fighting."

.”

Wang Yandao: "They have tens of thousands of rebels, and their strength is not weak anymore."

Wang Xiaolie said: "When the secretary was in the Taihang Mountains, he claimed to have 400,000 men under his command. Could he actually recruit tens of thousands of people? Most of the forts in various places were like this. If the army really needs to be selected, there will still be some people who are suitable to be soldiers. But it needs to be

The battle is still spared."

Wang Yan shook his head and stopped talking.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Now the people in the north are not under the control of the local powerful, they are in the fortress. It is okay to let them appease the people, but it is not necessary to let them fight. I tell them that to guard the place is to protect our future Northern Expedition.

help.”

Wang Ruohai sat down again, nodded and said, "That's what Xuan Fu said. It's rare for them to be able to defend their place."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Does the staff think it is easy to guard the place? After the army passes, if there are not enough officials, there will be chaos. The most important thing is that they can provide food and grass in an orderly manner to support the war."

Wang Ruohai and Wang Yan nodded, knowing that Wang Xiaolie was telling the truth. If the army is marching quickly and there is no local power to control it, will it be okay?

Wang Xiaoyou came to the table and looked at the map on the table. He said: "The armies of Shao Xing and Zhang Yin have been gathered in Baishui and Chengcheng counties, and they are preparing to attack Yanzhou and Danzhou in two groups. If they succeed, then

Go north from Yanzhou and attack Yan'an Prefecture. We hope to defeat Yan'an before the New Year."

Wang Ruohai said: "Shizhou's army has assembled three regiments in Wubao Village, led by Zuo Yuhou Zhang Chi, to attack the Suide Army. There are many Suide Army troops stationed, and the leader is Li Yongqi, the former Suwei Nine Clan inspector. Li Yongqi was captured

The forced landing fee is similar to Zhe Keqiu, but I don’t know his attitude now.”

Wang Xiaolie sighed and said: "This area is full of Han and Hu people, and most of them are foreign leaders serving as officials. It is very troublesome. If you want to send an informant there, it will be difficult to find the right person for a while. If you send one of your own people there, it will be very troublesome."

It’s untenable.”

Wang Ruohai said: "Yes, this is true in Fuzhou, and it is also true in Suide. The people there are many party members, and outsiders used to be too conspicuous."

In Suide, Fuzhou and the areas to the north, the Dangxiang people who migrated from the Tang Dynasty lived here. Hundreds of years have passed, and now Dangxiang is the main ethnic group. However, Dangxiang is divided into multiple tribes, and there is no harmony between the tribes. For example

The Zhe family in Fuzhou, the Li family in Suide and other families are feuding with the current Xixia.

In such a place, most of the inhabited areas are people of the same ethnic group, so it is difficult to establish an informant without a long period of hard work. Wang Xiaolie also made efforts, but the time was too short, and there was no systematic informant in Fuzhou and Suide.

The Li family prospered in Qingjian City, and their power was far less powerful than that of the Zhe family in Fuzhou. It was just that the Jin army needed them to defend Xixia, and after gaining a higher status, they commanded most of the Suide army. However, these armies were mostly composed of tribes, so-called

To rule is to follow the military orders.

Looking at the map, Wang Xiaoxian said: "Although there is a road leading to Suide in Wubao Village, the Yihe Village in the middle is garrisoned by people from the Zhe family. I don't know whether they will let our army pass or block it? If we block it,

I’m afraid I’m going to have to do something wrong.”

Wang Ruohai said: "Yihe Village only has a few dozen soldiers and has no power to stop the army."

Wang Xiaolie smiled and continued to look at the map.

After a while, Wang Xiaolie straightened up and said: "Wubao Village is one hundred and three miles away from the Suide army. We ordered Zhang Chi to arrive in three days. We must bring artillery, and the artillery must accompany the main force. When the main force arrives in Suide, set up

Fire up the cannon and blow up Suide City!"

Wang Ruohai nodded.

The sun has risen, and the sunlight shines into the room, making it brighter. A wintersweet tree next to the desk has bloomed, and its yellow petals are crystal clear.

Wang Xiaolie slowly came to the window and looked at the rolling mountains outside through the window. After a long time, he sighed and said: "If we capture Suide, we will have to face Yinzhou in Xixia to the north. Even in Xixia

, Hengshan soldiers are also known to be tough and not easy to deal with."

Wang Ruohai said: "We have occupied Hengshan. I wonder if Xixia will send troops."

Wang Yan said: "You won't send troops, right? Xixia has been sitting on the mountain watching tigers fight, how could they get involved at this time?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "We will definitely send troops. Even if we don't attack Suide, we will occupy some local fortresses to gain some strength. If we cannot capture Yan'an quickly, the situation in this area will be very complicated. Even if Zhang Chi can capture Suide quickly,

The German army should not go south either and must be on guard against Xixia."

Wang Ruohai nodded silently.

Although there is no information that Xixia has assembled heavy troops on the border, it is necessary to use the Song-Xia war to fight for some territory. It is impossible to want them to watch the Song-Jin war without taking any action.

After occupying the Suide Army, Wang Xiaolie's occupied area bordered Xixia. In future battles, Xixia factors must be taken into consideration. Although it seems now that Xixia has no intention of a large-scale southward attack, preparations must be made.

After the Jin army occupied Shaanxi, they used generals from the original Shaanxi on a large scale, and Xixia was a very important reason. These people had been stationed there for a long time and had rich experience in fighting Xixia. With them, they could effectively deter Xixia's attack.
