Chapter 167 Division of Labor
After talking about his own arrangements, Wang Xiaoliu said: "After thinking about it, it is the most suitable candidate for Zhang Jun to lead the rebel army and establish a guerrilla zone. This matter has been discussed for a long time, so there is no need to bother you anymore. Zhang Jun, are you willing?"
Zhang Jun said: "The last general is ordered! However, how big should the guerrilla area be? How many rebels should be recruited?"
Wang Xiaolie knew that Zhang Jun was concerned about his position. He smiled and said, "Since it is a guerrilla area, the bigger the better, and the more troops the better. However, the fundamental role of the guerrilla area is to protect the security of the rear and not to escape the control of the rear. Now, the main point of Yingchang Prefecture, Chenzhou and Yingzhou should be the main one. Our army uses Rushui as the defense line, and the troops are arranged in Xiangcheng, Yancheng and Caizhou. The guerrilla area is in the Cai River and the two sides of the Ying River, so as to try to control the people in the hands of our army. If the Jin army attacks, it will not be able to recruit food or soldiers in the local area."
Wang Ruohai said: "The Jin army is different from other troops and often fights in winter. There are rivers that they pass by ice, which makes it difficult to stop them."
Wang Xiaoliu said: "The Ru River does not freeze in most years. Even if it is freezing, it will be better to keep it safe for only a few days. Compared with the Yellow River, these rivers have few days of freezing in winter and cannot walk. As long as we are more careful, we can help our army."
Zhang Jun said: "With that being said, the channels between Ruhe and Caihe River are still too narrow and it is difficult to stop the army."
Wang Xiaoli said: "I understand that these rivers can help us. To resist the Jin army, of course, they are still in the rear army. When it comes to natural dangers, don't think that they are all places where one man is a pass and ten thousand men cannot open. Those who are good at using troops should check the geography and arrange them properly. The ferries in the Ru River are indeed as numerous as cows, and it is not enough to defend one place. However, this makes it difficult for us to defend, but also makes it easy to attack. If the enemy attacks and our army blocks it, you can send troops to attack its rear. When the rear is in chaos, the enemy in front will naturally retreat."
Seeing that Wang Xiaoli was unhappy, Wang Ruohai and Zhang Jun accused him together.
Wang Xiaoli waved his hand: "Don't bother those minor issues. Today, let's make a general arrangement. In a few days, the army entered Caizhou, and Zhang Jun led his army out of Chenzhou. Focusing on Chenzhou, establish a rebel army. The rebel army is different from other armies. It requires easy gathering during wartime and dispersal after the war. Since there are places like mountain villages to garrison, most of the troops will be dispersed among the people. This requires very familiarity with the local geography and human relations and the support of the people. Organize it in Chenzhou as quickly as possible, and then head south to Yingzhou and Yingchang Prefecture to form a group of people."
Zhang Jun said: "I don't know what the rebel army is called?"
Wang Xiaoliu said: "It's better to be named Zhongyi Society. The guerrilla army is called Zhongyi Army."
When the Song Dynasty intersected, the folk Zhongyi Society was a common organization. Especially in the Two Rivers area, it was everywhere. Many rebels also took the Zhongyi Army as their name, which was a very ordinary name.
Zhang Jun said yes.
Wang Xiaoli said again: "How to build and move the guerrilla army, many things need to be explored, and don't be rushing to achieve success. In the future, the Zhongyi Army in front will take Caizhou as its foundation. Whether it is to learn, repair, or other things, they will all go to Caizhou. I want to be the judge of Wang Ti and the governor of Caizhou, but I don't know what you think?"
When Wang Ruohai arrived here, he knew that he might have to go to Caizhou, so naturally he had no objection.
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoli sighed: "Until now, our situation is actually very dangerous. Many people nowadays, because they won a great victory in Shanzhou not long ago, and felt that they were invincible. How could they be! Lou Su only brought 8,000 Jurchen soldiers and was defeated by us nearly two months after attacking Shanzhou. If the Jin army mainly attacked Shaanxi Road after the New Year, we would not be able to save them no matter what! And if we attack Xiang Deng in a large scale, how can we resist with our troops? If we don't prepare early, all efforts will be passed! There is no natural danger in the Xiang Deng area, and we can only barely protect ourselves by setting up a guerrilla area. Don't think that this is a small matter, it is related to our life and death!"
Wang Ruohai said: "The strength of the Jin army is known to everyone in the world. Just tell the defense to the orders, and we will fulfill our mission!"
Wang Xiaoli nodded and said to Zhang Jun: "You go back today and write me a document to you. I've read it, and Wang Tixing has read it, and I will give you suggestions. One person's intelligence is short and everyone's intelligence is long. This matter must be comprehensively integrated with everyone's wisdom."
Zhang Jun said that he was. Seeing that there was nothing else, he said goodbye and left.
Wang Xiaoli said to Wang Ruohai: "There is nothing to do today. I have prepared two drinks and drinks with Tixing."
Under a crabapple tree in the yard, Wang Xiaoli sat opposite Wang Ruohai. There were four simple dishes on the table, one soup. The dishes were fried mung bean sprouts, one mushroom and vegetable heart, one fried mutton onion, and one roasted eel. The soup was pork ribs and lotus root soup.
After pouring the wine, Wang Xiaoliu said: "I have known Tixing for more than a year and haven't had a good chat yet, which is really a pity."
Wang Ruohai said: "Defense controls several states, and the people have been happy for a year and have won a great victory against the outside world. Wang is not a confused person. If you have any questions, just give me instructions and you will not refuse!"
Wang Xiaoliu said: "Let's drink. Let's talk while eating."
After drinking wine, he put down his wine glass. Wang Xiaoliu said: "There is no other candidate for the execution to be conquered Caizhou this time. Zhang Jun has been with me for a long time and has made many great contributions. He is also a person who is unwilling to be inferior to others. If he is not a punishment, he will not be the governor of Caizhou."
Wang Ruohai said: "I am not a defensive person, wouldn't it be even more difficult to come here!"
Wang Xiaoliu said: "It's good, it's not easy to get the punishment. However, the punishment is knowledgeable and has great ambitions, and is not comparable to other people. Many things, even if I arrange them clearly, others can't do it."
Wang Ruohai looked at Wang Xiaoli, and after a while, he said, "Defense has some confidence in me?"
Wang Xiaolei said: "For more than a year, if I can't even see this, wouldn't I be good at identifying people!"
Wang Ruohai didn't say anything, looked at the table, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Defense is said to be so, and this Caizhou magistrate is not easy to do."
Wang Xiaoli nodded: "It is indeed not easy to do. Not only do we need to govern the local area, but also to be on the front line, and we must also be in the military. In the future, Zhang Jun will be under the jurisdiction of the punishment, and he can only be self-determination for the punishment unless it is important. Not only that, Caizhou also needs to support the rebel army on the front line, and to handle the enemy situation and manage the people in the guerrilla area. All matters are not just the governor."
In this way, Wang Ruohai naturally knew the status of the governor of Caizhou. The Song Dynasty liked to set up strategic envoys and pacifiers in border areas. What Wang Xiaoli said was basically the position of strategic envoys. Both the military and civilians were in charge, and they also had to take into account the enemy's situation.
