After arranging Cui Sanshe and Ren Zhiqingxi, Wang Xiaolie went to his official hall and thought quietly. After a while, Li Yanxian and Wang Ruohai came in and saluted Wang Xiaolie. Wang Xiaolie told them not to be too polite.

He sat down at the table.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Since Jiang Min left, our headquarters has become much deserted. Shao Ling, Niu Gao and Li Dutong all have to go out of the city often to inspect their subordinates. I also have to be busy with political affairs, leaving only Counselor Wang.

Here. How can this be done? The most indispensable person for a headquarters is the secretary-general. You should pay more attention these days and select someone as soon as possible."

Li Yanxian and Wang Ruohai agreed and sat down at the table.

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Ruohai said to Wang Xiaolie: "Zhai Zhenfu wants to make the Northern Expedition. Does Commander Jie think he can succeed?"

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "To be honest, I'm really not sure about this matter. From a rational point of view, Luoyang is located between the Central Plains and Shaanxi, and its geographical location is extremely important. Zhai Xing captured Luoyang and cut off the Central Plains.

How could Liu Yu be willing to contact Shaanxi? Send someone to

Shaanxi, we have to go around Hedong Road, how can we do this! However, Liu Yu is now a member of the Caotai team, and their reaction cannot be measured by normal people. As for the Jin Army, they have given up on the south of the Yellow River and have little interest in sending troops.

.Who knows the final result!”

Li Yanxian said: "In this case, Commander Ji should join forces with Zhai Xing and launch a large-scale Northern Expedition together."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "In today's world, what's the use of taking Luoyang? If the Jin army and Liu Yu don't attack, from Luoyang to the west through Shaanzhou, the Jin army is still thousands of miles away. To the east to Kaifeng

Mansion, facing hundreds of miles of Yellow River Flood Area. Only a road to the north and east of the river can truly threaten the foundation of the Jin Army. What kind of situation it is, it is really difficult to explain——"

Wang Ruohai said: "Luoyang is located in the world and is a fundamental place. Not to mention that there are fertile fields under its rule and it has been rich since ancient times. It is more suitable as a fundamental place than Xiangyang. Between Wanluo and Luo, it has been prosperous and prosperous since ancient times, and it is the real king.

The basis! Jishuai

Going north and capturing Luoyang will not be the same as it is now! At that time, you can ask the Holy Spirit to return to the Luanzhong Plains and calm people's hearts in order to recover. If the Holy Spirit does not come, Jieshuai will occupy such important places and develop slowly, which is not the case now.

It’s conceivable!”

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "What you said makes sense. But I always feel that now is not the time for the Northern Expedition. First, we said we have an army of 100,000, but the training has not been completed. After going north, if the Jin army can

When the soldiers of the country come to attack, they will be passive. Furthermore, now that the Central Plains region is in ruins after the war, I'm afraid there won't be much benefit."

Wang Ruohai wanted to speak again, but Wang Xiaolie waved his hand and said: "I know that my reasons cannot convince you. In fact, not only you, I can't convince myself either -"

Having said this, Wang Xiaolie was silent for a while and said: "Well, don't force me, and I won't force you. Think about it carefully. Tonight Niu Gao and Shao Ling come back, and a few of us will gather together.

Let’s discuss it together. Is it appropriate to go to the Northern Expedition or wait a little longer to see what everyone’s opinions are. The few of us are the headquarters, and of course we must listen to everyone’s opinions on important matters.”

Wang Ruohai nodded and said nothing more.

In fact, the problem that troubles Wang Xiaolie the most is not what was mentioned above. It is that the Song Dynasty's army is still in the process of reorganizing. The only generals who will really protect the Southern Song Dynasty in the future are Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun. These two armies,

There are also many problems.

Yue Fei is still under Zhang Jun and has not formed an independent army. Brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin guard the front line of Qinling Mountains, with no more than 10,000 troops. Liu Qi was demoted to Zhi Mianzhou due to the defeat of Fuping and the continuous loss of territory. After taking over Zhao Gou

The trusted Yang Yizhong was also working under Zhang Jun at this time.

At this time, Wang Xiaolie went north and was likely to attract all the Jin troops. The Song troops elsewhere would take the opportunity to counterattack, causing unexpected consequences. Wang Xiaolie did not want such consequences, so he has been hesitating.

.

Can his 100,000-strong army withstand the Jin Army’s all-out attack? Wang Xiaolie can’t say for sure. What he can say is that his 100,000-strong army will never fail against the 100,000-strong Jin Army. But if the Jin Army comes with 150,000 soldiers,

What? What about two hundred thousand?

Li Yanxian sat aside, just silent. Wang Ruohai was flipping through official documents, obviously also absent-minded.

Wang Xiaolie stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the bleak autumn wind outside. The sun was shining brightly on the earth, making everything bright.

Will the Jin Army attack with all its strength? In fact, most likely not. The Jin Army's intention is very clear. They just want to occupy the land north of the Yellow River. South of the Yellow River, they just want to set up a puppet and slowly digest it. If Liu Yu's military strength

If it's not enough, the Jin army will help, but they won't go all out.

What should we do? Wang Xiaolie was unsure.

In the guest room next to them, Cui Sanshe and Ren Zhiqing were sitting together, chatting about what they had seen today.

Ren Zhiqing said: "Wang Jieshuai is really an extraordinary person! We came down from Luanchuan and arrived at Neixiang. It was already extremely prosperous. We haven't seen such a place for many years. As we walked down the river from Neixiang, the scenery became more and more...

Wealthy. When we arrived in Xiangyang, my God, this place felt like heaven!"

Cui Sanshe said: "It occupies a large area and has a large population, which is naturally not comparable to other places. Moreover, his printing is so exquisite that no one else can copy it. There are few places in the world that can make money out of paper."

Compare with him!"

Ren Zhiqing said: "Sheren, among the generals who are out there, which one doesn't seal the Huizi? Not only the generals, but also the imperial court! But how many people among the people recognize their Huizi? It only takes a few months, and no one has it.

If you are willing to use it, it will become a piece of paper! If Xiangyang Huizi can sell it all over the world, he must have the ability."

Cui Sanshe said: "Look at Xiangyang, where is this place? Ships from the south and horses from the north meet here. It is a truly prosperous place. What place do we occupy? In the mountains and valleys. If we occupy Luoyang, we will naturally

It will be like this! Luoyang is a big city in the world, with fertile land and trade routes all over the world. At that time, you will know that there is more than one Wang Xiaoxunhui official in the world!"

Ren Zhiqing said: "We have less than 10,000 soldiers and horses. It is difficult to attack Luoyang and deal with a Meng Bangxiong. If the Puppet Qi Dynasty sends troops to help, it will be really worrying! Sheren, tell me, will the Commander-in-Chief help us block Liu Yu?

reinforcements?"

Cui Sanshe said: "Yes, although Meng Bangxiong is a rebel army, his military strength is really not weak. Although Dong Xian in the north is under the control of the governor, he has always formed an independent army and does not listen to the military orders of the governor. Our northern expedition,

It’s not easy. You heard today that as long as the governor sends troops, Wang Xiaolie will let Ruzhou soldiers and horses go north to Zhengzhou. After he takes Zhengzhou, the puppet Qi reinforcements will naturally be blocked."

Ren Zhiqing nodded: "As long as we block the reinforcements, we should be able to capture Luoyang. Although Dong Xian doesn't obey military orders very much, he has to send troops when the army moves north. When the two armies are united, Meng Bangxiong should not be able to stop him."

Cui Sanshe said: "The only thing to worry about in this Northern Expedition is Liu Yu. If we block his reinforcements, we will be successful. Although there is a Jin army in Shaanxi, it is thousands of miles away. And it is confronting the Wu brothers.

How can we move far away? There are only 10,000 gold troops in the east of Hedong, so they can't handle anything big!"

Ren Zhiqing nodded, as if this was the truth.
Chapter completed!
