Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 379 Celebration
Wang Ruohai entered the house, rubbed his hands and said, "It's windy outside, dark clouds are everywhere, and not a single star can be seen. It looks like it's going to snow around. In this weather, if it snows heavily, it's not easy to move around for a while." .”

Li Yanxian said: "We have occupied Guozhou, Wushu near Shaanxi must come back as soon as possible. It's snowing heavily, so it's inconvenient to walk."

Wang Xiaolie smiled: "No matter how difficult the road is, Wu Shu has to rush back as soon as possible. If not, we will occupy Shanzhou and completely block his way to the west. It will be ugly. Now Beijing There is no large group of troops from the Jin army around the Zhaofu, how can we defend it with the troops we have taken refuge in? Among these people, Wei Yi is considered a figure, and we defeated his entire army in the first battle. Others can imagine."

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaolie greeted Wang Ruohai: "Zhang Chi did a good job today, and shot Wei Yi to death with three arrows. It can be said that we occupied Guozhou with almost no loss and defeated more than ten thousand enemy troops. It was a big victory. Next Xuehao, let's drink wine and eat meat to celebrate. The councilor has been busy all day, come and sit down and have a glass of wine. Let go of everything tonight, and you will not return if you are not drunk!"

Wang Ruohai sat by the fire, stretching out his hands to warm the fire.Said: "Take Eriduo and Wanyanhuonu to go west, Wushu will not come back for the time being, Jingzhao Mansion area is empty, we can't let go of this opportunity. Tomorrow Wei Yang and Xue Cheng must go west, at the fastest speed Occupy Tongguan. If you occupy Tongguan, if you occupy Huazhou and Tongzhou again, Guanzhong will be shaken. After Fuping World War I, the Jin army is fierce, kill them!"

The soldiers set wine glasses in front of everyone, knocked away the wine jars, and brought up a large bowl of meat.

Wang Xiaolie picked up the wine jar and poured wine for Li Yanxian and Wang Ruohai.Said: "When I ate less meat before, I thought about eating meat all at once. Now I eat a lot of meat, and I want to eat a little bit of vegetables every now and then. Man, it's very strange."

"Even if there are delicacies from mountains and seas, you will get tired of eating them every day." Wang Ruohai took the wine jar from Wang Xiaolie's hand and placed it in front of him. "But it's not easy to eat vegetables in winter. It's freezing cold, where can I grow vegetables?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "There are always several kinds of vegetables that are suitable for growing in winter. One is bean sprouts, and then there are leeks and garlic, as long as the house is warm. They carry these in the army and often change the taste. Today's victory, I ordered all of these to be done to celebrate the achievements of the soldiers.”

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Xiaolie put down his glass.Said: "We lost very little in this battle, so we wiped out Wei Yi. Naturally, we are gratified that the war went well. But it will be a pity if we can't seize the opportunity and cause the biggest loss to the Jin army. After the First World War in Fuping , the army in Shaanxi is generally very pessimistic, thinking that we will not be able to defeat the Jin army. However, the Jin army is arrogant and attacking everywhere, trying to completely capture Shaanxi Road and Xihe Road. Military arrogance. But the most important thing is that we must expand the results of the battle."

Wang Ruohai said: "How about suppressing desire?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "The troops are divided into two groups. Li Jinglue's army is heading east to block Wushu. Our troops will go west and threaten Guanzhong. If Wei Yang can successfully occupy Huazhou, he will quickly leave Lintong and approach Jingzhao. If Li Duo fails to return in time, he will stab Jingzhao Mansion! To occupy Jingzhao Mansion, even if it is only a few days, is enough to shake the world!"

Li Yanxian said: "Wushu has nearly [-] elite riders. It is not easy to defend Shanzhou."

Wang Xiaolie said: "After Xue Cheng broke Tongzhou, if the Yellow River was frozen, he returned to the east to occupy Hezhong Mansion, which echoed Shanzhou. The number of soldiers and horses who went to Shanzhou should not be less than 6000. Xue Cheng Together, Wushu can be blocked for a few months. After a few months, the war should be over."

Having said that, Wang Xiaolie raised his wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.After thinking for a while, he said: "If there are no accidents, the purpose of this battle is: Wei Yang captures Jingzhao Mansion, and stays as long as he can. Pack up the property of Jingzhao Mansion, and the people in that area retreat south together. Err When Li Duo sent a large army, he retreated quickly and did not fight to the death. Jingzhao Mansion is too far away from Guozhou, and it may be too late to retreat here. Lantian should be occupied in advance, and from there retreat south into Shangzhou, and from Shangzhou back to Lushi. Inform Shao Xing a little in advance, and respond in advance."

Li Yanxian thought for a while, then nodded heavily: "Okay! I ordered Shao Xing to clear the road in time and prepare food and grass!"

Li Yanxian and Wang Xiaolie are two different forces, each with its own interests.In joint operations, there will actually be many contradictions.If Wang Xiaolie hadn't rescued Shanzhou at the beginning of the year, Li Yanxian wouldn't be so cooperative now.

Looking at Li Yanxian, Wang Xiaolie nodded heavily.Said: "Now is an extraordinary time, we should also do extraordinary things! The Jin captives invaded the south, how many families were scattered, and how many families were destroyed! Those who lead our troops need to be open-minded and sincerely united, so that we can truly have The strength of the battle with the Jinren. The Jinren attacked Shaanxi with an army of [-]. If we also have [-] people, how can we be so restrained. With enough troops, the minimum goal is to encircle and wipe out Wushu in Luoyang, and even gather together to wipe out Eriduo in Luoyang Guanzhong! But the capital is too small to do it.”

In fact, there is another point, the current Zhang Jun may have become a burden.There is not much strength, and the official position is high, but he is not reconciled.If Wang Xiaolie goes all out to fight the Jin army, he will probably be targeted by the court.Attacking Guozhou and quickly withdrawing was Wang Xiaolie's limit this time.Wang Xiaolie's strength does not allow for bigger moves.

Cao Yu tore off his helmet, threw it aside, and said in his mouth, "Zhi Niang, what a strong wind! I looked around, and many trees on the side of the road were blown off their branches and rolled on the ground. If I was not careful, I almost I was hit on the head by a falling branch. Everyone is saying that with such a strong wind, there must be heavy snow tonight! It’s snowing, and we will have a hard time going tomorrow!”

Wei Yang moved his body and said: "No matter how heavy the snow falls, we have to go! Just now the governor specially called me and Xue Tongzhi to go, and let us go to the pass as fast as possible. If we go west this time, if we can fight Entering the Jingzhao Mansion is a great achievement!"

Cao Yu sat down and stuffed a large piece of roasted meat into his mouth.Chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed hard.He said: "If you have to go, you must be prepared to endure hardships. Previously, you wanted to bring less military rations and collect and buy them on the way, but now it seems difficult. It's going to snow heavily, where to go to collect rations?"

After speaking, he grabbed the jug and poured himself a large bowl full of wine.

The rest of them raised their wine bowls together and drank with Cao Yu.

Xue Chengdao: "If it really snows heavily, you can't use a cart. One is bad, you can't even use it as a pack animal, you can only carry it on your shoulders. It's a miserable journey! Before arriving in Guozhou, it snowed in Luanchuan When we get to Guozhou, Zhiniang thief, it’s snowing here again!”

Zhang Chi said: "Only when you have to endure hardships can you be a master. To defeat the Jin army, you must be able to walk and fight in this kind of weather. It is difficult for us to walk, and it is also difficult for the Jin army. Eat some food on the way Bitter, really broke into the Jingzhao Mansion, everything is worth it."

Wei Yang raised his bowl and said, "That's right! This time, I took advantage of the situation and went straight to the back of the Jin army! The fight went smoothly, and everything was worth it!"

After drinking a few bowls of wine, the atmosphere gradually warmed up.Wei Yang said to Zhang Chi: "You are going to fight today. I saw a group of people in front of you mixed together. How can you shoot arrows in succession? The arrows get in from the crowd, so you are not afraid of hitting others?"

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "I used all my strength for those three arrows. Others looked easy, but they didn't know how difficult it was for me. Today, Zhenfu specially ordered me to use a three-stone bow and bring ten armor-piercing arrows—"

Cao Yu said: "Why don't you have a pot of arrows? Three arrows miss, and shoot him a few more!"

Zhang Chi shook his head again and again: "Brother, it is not so easy to open the three-stone bow. Even I can only shoot three arrows in a row. After three arrows are shot, half of my body has no strength at all. After more than half an hour after the battle, the sore and numb Only then did the strength recede slowly. Until now, my right arm still hurts. Zhenfu asked me to bring ten arrows, just because I was afraid of accidents, and told me to kill Wei Yi with all my might!"

Among the people here, apart from Zhang Chi, only Chi Yuping can draw a bow with two stones and five buckets.The rest of the people tried their best, but they could only open a little more than two stones.With two stone bows, everyone will lose their accuracy.

Chi Yuping said calmly: "This is Zhang Chi's ability, and he can't accept it. He can open a three-stone bow, although he can only shoot three arrows in a row, but these three arrows are accurate. Ordinary people, there are some who can open a three-stone bow, and some How many people are there?"

Xue Cheng said with a smile: "We can only say that Wei Yi is out of luck! He also wore iron armor on the battlefield, but he didn't expect that we have a sharpshooter!"

Several people laughed together, raised their wine bowls and drank together.

Today was a big victory, and Wang Xiao sent out the stored wine and meat in the army for everyone to celebrate.They also specially sent two sheep to Zhang Chi and Chi Yuping to let them have a full meal.The two called Wei Yang and Xue Cheng and their deputy commanders together, and everyone drank and ate meat.

After resting for a day, Zhang Chi's arm slowly recovered, and he drank heavily at this time.Naturally, there are soldiers with three stone bows and three arrows in a row. There are all kinds of strange people and strange things in an army of tens of thousands of people.But it is extremely rare to shoot three arrows in a row and still be accurate, which is Zhang Chi's talent.

Wei Yang and Xue Cheng's troops set off tomorrow morning, but it wasn't the two of them who left.With an army of thousands of people, it is impossible to say that we will go together, and that we will stop together.The arrangements are made today, and the two of them don't have to get up early tomorrow morning.

It was a great victory to eliminate Wei Yi and occupy Guozhou.Especially after the Fuping War, the morale of the Song army was greatly improved.If Wang Xiaolie could take advantage of the opportunity of the Jin army's attack and the empty back to occupy Jingzhao Mansion, it would be an even more remarkable victory.The Song army, facing the onslaught of the Jin army ahead, will have a chance to breathe.

With the transfer of Wushu to the west, Zhao Gou in the south of the Yangtze River got a respite and was temporarily out of the dangerous situation.However, Shaanxi became the main battlefield, and the Jin army was overwhelmed, and the Song Dynasty army faced great difficulties.In the coming time, Wang Xiaolie will not be as relaxed as the previous few months.However, the goal of the Jin army is the affluent Sichuan and Shu regions, and will not threaten Xiangyang and Dengzhou for the time being.
