Unknowingly, a hint of fish belly white appeared in the east. Wang Xiaolie felt a splitting headache. He stood up, opened the curtain, and looked at the white sky and earth outside. The snow was not deep, and it was not ankle-deep, so he just stepped on it.

Bring the soil.

Lying on the table, several generals were still arguing. When to set off, how many miles to walk in a day, where to rest, everything was discussed one by one. Shao Yunchu had a head as big as a bucket, and he had never calculated it in such detail.

geography.

Seeing the red glow emerging from the sky, Wang Xiaolie said decisively: "There is no need to discuss it anymore! All the things that need to be discussed have been discussed clearly last night. Let's save Shaanzhou! Shao Yun, don't mislead me!

"

Shao Yun stood up and crossed his hands: "Observer has saved Shaanzhou. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Shaanzhou are grateful to Watcher for his kindness! Everything I said is true. If there are any mistakes or omissions, please observe and behead me on my neck!"

Wang Xiaolie waved his hands: "Heads are nothing. When we act, one is one and two is two, and there must be no lies. The two or thirty thousand troops are my countless thoughts, and I dare not make any mistakes. The army is for fighting.

What's the use of just huddled in Xinye? The Jin army is surrounding the important areas of the imperial court, and I will not avoid fighting if there is even the slightest possibility."

At this point, Wang Xiaolie turned around, looked at everyone and said solemnly: "When we go to Shaanxi Province, we must be like a lion fighting a rabbit. We can hit the target with one strike. There must be no luck! Now Sang Zhong is watching Tangzhou and should leave a large army.

Be on guard against him. Xie Linong will lead 3,000 soldiers and return to Tangzhou to defend. If Sang Zhong comes to attack, then defend the city and don't be careless. As long as you hold on, you won't be afraid of him until the army comes back!"

Xie Linong stood up, crossed his hands and said yes.

Wang Xiaolie said again: "Go to Dengzhou tomorrow and call Wang Tixing. I will lead the troops to Shaanzhou, and Dengzhou will be handed over to him temporarily. Wang Tixing is a man who knows things, and he will definitely not make any mistakes.

.Now there are 32,000 troops in Xinye. They are going to Shaanzhou with a total of 25,000 troops, of which 5,000 are transporting grain, grass and baggage. There are 4,000 people left in Xinye, plus the 3,000 people in the new barracks.

, and it’s enough to cope with emergencies.”

Seeing that no one had any objections, Wang Xiaolie said to Zhang Jun: "We will start preparations today, and we will set off in three to five days. What I am most worried about is that Li Kuan cannot wait for us, and the city will be broken first. At that time, we tried our best to use

I tried my best, but it was all in vain. Zhang Jun, you choose a thousand elite cavalry and bring 1,500 horses, and you will go ahead with Shao Yun in three days. We must get to Shaanzhou as quickly as possible! As long as

With reinforcements, even if there are few people, the Jin army will not be able to break the city for a while. After fighting for a few days, the army will arrive, and everything will be easy!"

Zhang Jun stood up and crossed his arms to sing the promise, feeling extremely excited. He had always wanted to do something big, and finally he had the opportunity.

Wang Xiaolie looked at everyone and said: "That's what happened. Everyone should go back and prepare first. Niu Gao and Shao Ling, after you two go back, select your soldiers and hold a meeting with the generals to let them discuss the matter in detail. Five days later.

, I want all the soldiers to know what we are going to do and the difficulties we will face here. I want them to be prepared to overcome the difficulties and be prepared to fight the Jin army!"

Niu Gao said: "Observe, this is a top secret matter. It's not good for the subordinate generals and soldiers to know, right?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "To fight is to fight to the death! They fight to fight with us, what do they have to hide? In my army, things that should be kept secret must be kept secret and are not allowed to be leaked. But it is also not allowed to be used in the name of military aircraft being involved.

, Don’t let your subordinates know the truth! War requires the participation of every soldier and their intelligence! I have said many times before that a meeting must be held before the war and discussed carefully. This time we will follow the rules!"

Seeing Wang Xiaolie's stern attitude, the generals hurriedly crossed their hands and made a promise.

Wang Xiaolie said to Shao Yun: "You stay in Xinye for a few days, and when Zhang Jun is ready, go back to Guozhou with them!"

That's all. Wang Xiaolie left Yang Shen, Niu Gao, Shao Ling and Zhang Jun behind and asked the others to go back and prepare.

After everyone left, Wang Xiaolie said: "In this battle with Shaanzhou, the most important thing is to ask Li Kuan to defend the city. The other point is that there must be no omissions in the march, and the food and fodder must keep up. This is a big deal, let's go on

Let’s discuss it.”

Yang Shen said: "Relying on Dengzhou's manpower, we can transport grain and grass to Yangchengyi. The road after that will be decided by the army."

Wang Xiaolie frowned and said: "It's a five-hundred-mile journey from Shaanzhou to Yangchengyi. It's not easy to transport grain and grass. If we travel fifty miles a day, it takes twenty days to go back and forth. Each porter eats two liters a day and eats four

If you can carry a stone and a half, you can transport grain for a stone."

When I say this, I can't help but shake my head. Calculated this way, one-third of the grain will be eaten by the porters, which is really inefficient. This area is all mountainous, and you can only rely on people's backs. Twenty thousand troops fight, and five thousand people

Transporting grain and fodder is still not enough.

Yang Shen said: "There is no way. If we rely entirely on the army to transport food, there will be too few people left to fight. We still have to recruit people from the local area."

Wang Xiaolian said: "Between Yangchengyi and Lu's, there are already sparsely populated areas, and it is difficult to recruit people. Let's transfer people from Dengzhou. According to the price of a hundred catties, a hundred miles and a hundred coins, we will just pay. There is no money for a while.

The money must also be kept clearly to the civilian husbands. After the war is over, we can slowly calculate it with them."

Yang Shen looked bitter after hearing this. He kept making idle promises to the people, which was not a good thing.

Looking at Yang Shen's face, Wang Xiaolie said: "To be honest, this battle is extraordinary. If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court always liked to default on debts whether it was to collect civilian services or purchase goods, and lost the trust of the people, we wouldn't have to be like this.

.The imperial court has lost its credibility, and we can only slowly make up for it."

When it came to the imperial court, Yang Shen did not dare to speak anymore. Wang Xiaolie could have no scruples, but Yang Shen did not dare.

Wang Xiaolie said to Shao Ling: "Zhang Jun will go first in this battle. I want you to be the vanguard and follow Zhang Jun. Because you have to move in a hurry, there will not be too many heavily armored troops, and you should try to bring as few as possible that are not conducive to movement. Get there.

After Shaanzhou, we have to withstand the attack of the Jin army and wait for the arrival of the army. What do you think?"

Shao Ling pondered for a while and said: "It is best to bring heavy armor, even if you bring less other supplies, this item is absolutely indispensable. If the soldiers do not wear heavy armor, they may not be able to withstand the attack of the Jin army."

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and said, "If you wear heavy armor, how many miles can you travel in one day?"

Shao Ling said: "If we travel twice the distance, we should be able to travel sixty miles a day. I have tried it in daily practice and found that we can travel sixty miles a day for ten days. The journey to Shaanzhou is only eight hundred miles, so it shouldn't be difficult."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Xinye is surrounded by flat land, so it's not difficult to walk sixty miles. Going to Shaanzhou, after passing Yangchengyi, it's all mountain roads, but it's not easy. You'd better think clearly.

We can’t delay our trip.”

Shao Ling thought for a while and nodded decisively: "Even if the road is difficult, it is better to bring a thousand iron armors! With these thousand iron armors, you are not afraid of the Jin army coming to attack! Without iron armor, facing the Jin army, I always feel unsafe

.”

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "You think this is best, then so be it. You take five thousand soldiers, including one thousand armors, and go first. I will bring 10,000 soldiers and horses, including six thousand armors, for the central army. Niu

Gao led five thousand soldiers as the rear guard. The remaining five thousand soldiers and horses transporting grain were also under Niu Gao's command."

Niugao crossed his hands and said yes.

Shao Ling led five thousand soldiers as the vanguard. Not only did they have to go in front of the entire army, but they also repaired roads and sometimes built bridges where necessary. Not only did they have to go fast, but they also had many things to do. Niu Gao led the light soldiers.

As a rear guard, he also has to take care of the food transport team behind him.

On this trip to Shaanzhou, Wang Xiaolie took a total of 25,000 people, of which 5,000 were used to transport grain, grass and baggage. This was the practice of the Song Dynasty army. The army generally had 20% to 30% baggage troops. However, during the war, it was still

We need to recruit civilian husbands.

After all the instructions were given, Wang Xiaolie stood up, walked to the door, and looked at the dancing snow outside. After a long time, he said: "My late father set up the king's army to defeat the Jin Army. We have worked hard for two years, okay?
Chapter completed!
