Chapter 584
Liuquan Town is between Shou'an County and Fuchang County. It can reach Mianchi in the north and Yinque in the south. It is a major area in the Luoyang Valley. The new camp of the Second Army was built on the Luoshui shore opposite Liuquan Town.
On the 21st of the leap month of April, Liu Ziyu followed Wang Xiaohu and arrived at the recruit camp in Liuquan Town.
After getting off the horse, Liu Ziyu said, "I often hear that the subordinates of Jieshuai praised the new recruits. They said that with the new recruits, there is no longer any fear of no new recruits in the army. The other armies, including the army on Qinfeng Road, are worried about the new recruits. Let's take a look at how Jieshuai trains new recruits, and other armies are also easy to learn."
Wang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Let's have dinner first. The carp in Luoshui tastes very delicious and is better than the carp in the Yellow River. Luoshui Yinfeng is very appropriate."
After saying that, Lu Ji, who was promoted to the recruits, entered the recruits.
After entering the recruit camp, Liu Ziyu saw that it was different from other places to train recruits. Here are teams and teams, led by the coach alone. Some trained around in the gaps, and some stood there like wood, but there were no horses dancing and guns shooting archery.
After walking more than ten steps, Liu Ziyu couldn't help it. He said to Lu Jia: "Shi Ju, since he is a recruit camp, why don't he be able to train martial arts and dance swords and guns?"
Lu Jiao said: "The Senator didn't know that there was a teaching ground in the north of the New Guards, where were they training."
"Oh——" Liu Ziyu nodded, not knowing what the rules are here.
The canteen of the New Guardian camp is made of earth and is covered with thatch, which is very large. Each canteen just accommodates a hundred people to eat.
When I entered the cafeteria, I saw that it was very clean inside. The floor was paved with blue bricks and was spotless. On a table in front, someone had already started to hold basins upwards, which should be the place for soldiers to make meals. In front were rows of wooden tables with wooden benches, which were the place for soldiers to eat.
Have Liu Ziyu ever seen such a formation? In the past, a small team of soldiers made fires and cooked on their own. The most basic units, the so-called gangs, or corps, were all soldiers supplied by a stove. This stove became the most basic organization of the army. Wang Xiaoliu, and the units where soldiers opened fire were completed, which was different from other places.
There is a small room next to the canteen, and Lu Gu led it in.
This is used by the recruits to entertain distinguished guests, and there are also cafeterias for other military forces. Usually, there are no guests, and officers are not allowed to come in, and they are always eating outside. Only when guests in the army come, will the commanders and others decide to accompany the personnel to come in and have dinner here.
Wang Xiaoli sat down at the first place and said to Lu Jia: "Senator Liu is our distinguished guest. I will add a few dishes today. You must make a large Luo River carp next to the Luo River to taste it. The rest of the delicacies and rivers have been prepared and brought up!"
Lu Jichengnuo, go out to make arrangements.
I have lived in Luoyang for some time, and Liu Ziyu's anxious mood has calmed down. I have tried to restore my relationship with Wang Xiaolie these days. Wang Xiaolie is easy-going, what is Liu Ziyu like when he came and what is still like now.
Looking at Wang Xiaoli, Liu Ziyu didn't know what to say for a moment.
Whether it was the court or Zhang Jun, when he saw Wang Xiaolie in the past, he always unconsciously regarded him as a local rebel army. Whether it was 50,000 or 100,000, his army believed that its combat effectiveness could not be compared with the regular army and did not take it seriously. When the victory in Shanzhou, Wang Xiaolie defeated Liu Yu and Balisu one after another, and everyone suddenly woke up. Wang Xiaolie could not compare with other local forces.
When they first came, Zhang Jun and Liu Ziyu both believed that Wang Xiaolie was advancing westward immediately, which was a great time to annihilate Wushu and recover Shaanxi. After these days, Liu Ziyu slowly understood. Wang Xiaolie was most worried about not the Jin army, but Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun was a young Jinshi and went to join the throne as soon as Zhao Gou ascended the throne. During the Jin army's attack and Zhao Gou fled south, Zhang Jun made a lot of efforts to help Zhao Gou stabilize the morale of the army and ease the situation. Especially during the Miao and Liu mutiny, Zhang Jun commanded and organized Lu Yihao, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi and others to defeat Miao and Liu and make great contributions to Zhao Gou. Thus, he learned about the affairs of the Privy Council and pacified Sichuan and Shaanxi in the second year.
Zhang Jun likes to be in charge of soldiers and fight, and always thinks that with his own talent, he can easily defeat the Jin army. But the fact is that Zhang Jun can talk big, but his true military ability is really not good. Especially in the battle of Fuping, his shortcomings of being stubborn and incompetent command were fully exposed.
Wang Xiaolie was really afraid of Zhang Jun. If his army fell into his hands, many things would be difficult to deal with. For example, if Zhang Jun gave an order, would Wang Xiaolie execute or not? If it was executed, it would probably ruin the good situation. If it was not executed, Zhang Jun would not think that there was something wrong with his order, but would only think that Wang Xiaolie was intentionally disobeying and untrustworthy. Then he might try every means to frame Wang Xiaolie and seize military power.
What should I do? I can only avoid him from afar. The Jin army is separated by the middle, and see what else can Zhang Jun do.
After figuring this out, Liu Ziyu slowly calmed down his anger towards Wang Xiaolie. After Wang Xiaolie occupied Tongguan, the Jin army in Shaanxi was actually surrounded by the Song army. The generals of the Jin army were all long-time generals, so they would naturally see that it was so easy to surround him? It would be better to march directly into Hedong and cut off the right arm of the Jin army.
Soon, the carp came up.
Wang Xiaoli said to Liu Ziyu: "Luo River carp is considered a famous product in the world. Please try it."
Liu Ziyu thanked him. He picked up a piece of meat and praised him: "It's really delicious! Since he moved forward to the Luo River, the carp became famous all over the world. Today I finally tasted it."
Wang Xiaoliu banned alcohol in the army. A few people took the white rice on the Luo River beach and soon became full. Lu Gai came to tea and sat there with tea.
Liu Ziyu took a sip of tea. Seeing that Wang Xiaoli did not speak, he said, "Jiang Zheng's army can already go north to Hedong and attack Taiyuan Prefecture directly. Why did he stop after occupying Jinzhou and Longde Prefecture? In the autumn and winter seasons, there are still a few months left for the Jin people to mobilize their troops."
Wang Xiaoliu said: "The Senator thought, which army would the Jin army dispatch to defend Taiyuan Prefecture?"
Liu Ziyu thought for a while and said, "The north of Taiyuan Prefecture is Yunzhong, the old nest of Nianhan. In a few months, the Jin army in Yunzhong should go south."
Wang Xiaoli said: "I think it is not only the Yunzhong Jin army, but also the Jin army in Shaanxi will retreat north. Nianhan and Eliduo are the left and right deputy marshals of the Jin army respectively. Wushu is the close confidant of Eliduo. At that time, it will not be just the Yunzhong Jin army of Nianhan, but I am afraid of more. It is not enough for our 100,000 army to compete with the Jin army. It is better to occupy the southern part of Hedong Road and use the geographical advantage to deal with the Jin army."
Liu Ziyu said: "Jiang Zheng thought that the Wushu in Shaanxi would withdraw?"
Wang Xiaoliu said in a panda: "I occupied Tongguan, why would Wu Shu not leave Fengxiang Mansion? I was really blocked in Guanzhong, who would he cry? I heard that Wu Shu had just been promoted to the right supervisor of the Jin army, and his future was bright."
Liu Ziyu nodded slowly: "What Jishuai said makes sense."
Wang Xiaoli said: "This autumn, the Jin army will inevitably go south and try to attack Jinzhou or Longde Prefecture. For my army, it is better to prepare these two places early."
The Jin army attacked Jinzhou to open the road to Shaanxi and try to regain the initiative. The attack on Longde Prefecture was not very meaningful, and Liu Yu was to the south. Therefore, Wang Xiaolie believed that the Jin army's possibility of attacking Jinzhou was great, and was arranging troops to strengthen defense.
