In Jingzhao Mansion, Zhang Zhongfu listened to Sun Wei's journey to Tongzhou. He nodded and said, "I understand. It's been a hard work for me, so let's go on."

Sun Wei didn't know what Zhang Zhongfu thought, so he said goodbye and left.

After seeing off Sun Wei, Zhang Zhongfu stood up, walked to the window, and looked out the window in trance.

The apricots in the yard are ripe, and the big emerald trees are beautifully decorated with yellow dots. The lotus flowers in the pond next to it are in full bloom, and a few dragonflies are flying inside. On the big willow tree at the door, cicadas are chirping.

Non-stop. As if eager to tell the world that the hottest time of the year is here.

After looking at it for a long time, Zhang Zhongfu couldn't help but sigh.

If Wang Xiaolie doesn't take him seriously, how can Zhang Zhongfu not be angry? What's the use of being angry? The fact is that his strength is not as good as others.

Zhang Zhongfu had carefully understood the two battles in Shaanzhou and Tongzhou. After understanding clearly, he could only draw one conclusion: his 20,000 troops were vulnerable to Wang Xiaolie's army. The most ideal outcome was just

A little stronger than Zheng Jianchong.

What's the use of being stronger? In fact, in the battle of Hucheng, Zheng Jianchong was completely defeated by Shao Ling in less than an hour. If it weren't for Shao Ling's lack of cavalry, even Zheng Jianchong himself wouldn't be able to escape. This battle was too easy to win, Wang

It is rarely mentioned among the Night Hunter Army.

Zhang Zhongfu was born as a general, and he knew from an early age that the value of a general lies in how many soldiers he has. But this was of no use to Wang Xiaolie. Even if Wang Xiaolie used other generals' soldiers, they would all be scattered and sent to the new barracks to start again.

Training generals is completely useless.

He was completely useless here with Wang Xiaolie. Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongfu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It's completely useless. How can we negotiate terms with Wang Xiaolie? In fact, Wang Xiaolie doesn't want to negotiate at all.

His father Zhang Kui died at the hands of the Jin army. Zhang Zhongfu did not hesitate to save his own life and found the body among the dead. If given the chance, would he want to avenge his father? Of course Zhang Zhongfu would. But his nostalgia for life and his reluctance to give up wealth made him

Finally, the Jin army surrendered.

He was a surrendered general and was worthless. What would Wang Xiaolie think? Zhang Zhongfu raised his head and looked at the scenery outside the window, feeling confused for a moment.

On the seventh day of May, the weather has been extremely hot since the morning. After lunch, Wang Xiaolie went to the sycamore tree in Houya and read in the wind.

In the afternoon, Wang Ruohai came to Houya and saluted Wang Xiaolie to ask questions.

Wang Xiaolie asked Cui Qing to bring a high chair and let Wang Ruohai sit down and talk.

After a few words of greeting, Wang Ruohai said: "I will leave Tongzhou tomorrow. In such a hot weather, I should leave early."

Wang Xiaoxing said: "We will set off at dawn and rest in Chaoyi early at noon. We will set off later in the afternoon and cross the river in the evening."

Wang Ruohai said: "In such weather, if you walk fifty or sixty miles a day, you will inevitably have to endure hardships on the way. It is the hottest time. If you go to Jiangzhou next, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk so fast. If you go from Jiezhou

, Xuanfu, why don’t you go to Longmen? It’s one of the most beautiful places in the world, and it would be a pity not to go there.”

Wang Xiaoxing said: "We have already seen the Dragon Gate in Luoyang. Let's see the Dragon Gate in the Yellow River again in the future. We have been delayed in Hefu for some days, so we have to go faster on the road. It is best to return to Luoyang before autumn."

Wang Ruohai nodded: "What Xuan Fu said is true. With the autumn wind, the Jin army may go south."

Wang Xiaolie picked up the mung bean soup on the side and took a sip. He asked: "I heard that Zheng Jianchong's people are also here? What are you talking about?"

Wang Ruohai said: "It's almost the same as Zhang Zhongfu. However, Zheng Jianchong fought with us and was more well-behaved than Zhang Zhongfu's men. I heard that as long as they don't cause trouble and are good to the people under their rule, it is considered a meritorious service, and the people sent are very kind.

Thanks."

Wang Xiaoxing said: "This is the best. The five roads in Shaanxi Province are connected to us, namely Yanyan Road and Yongxing Jun Road. Zhang Zhongfu and Zheng Jiancheng knew what they were doing and saved us a lot of trouble. Ba Lisu died, and Sa Li

Lihe doesn't dare to come to the east of Shaanxi, so it's best. We concentrate our forces on Hedong Road and fight the Jin army. As long as Hedong Road is captured, Shaanxi will be in our pocket."

Wang Ruohai said: "Sa Lihe is at Jingyuan, Xihe Road. If we occupy the east of Hedong, he will have no way out."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The Jin Army doesn't think that we can quickly capture Hedong, so why would they give up Shaanxi? If we don't give up Shaanxi, we can only arrange it this way. In fact, to put it bluntly, the Jin Army still looks down on Privy Zhang. Liu Sali shouted

There are less than ten thousand people, so I feel that Privy Zhang can't do anything to him."

Wang Ruohai said: "Xuan Fu thinks that if Privy Zhang attacks with all his strength, can he defeat Sa Lihe?"

Wang Xiaolie smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "It is best to go through the Fuping battle so that Privy Zhang can clear his mind and stop doing desperate things. Otherwise, if the Jin army seizes the opportunity, the remaining thirty or forty thousand troops will

They also have to join in. In addition to the nearly 10,000 Jin troops under Sa Lihe's command, there are also tens of thousands of surrendered generals such as Zhang Zhongyan, Murong Wei, and Li Yanqi. Their strength is no less than that of the Song army. Maybe the Jin people are also trying to kill Privy Zhang.

Our troops have plans to return to the east and fight with us."

After hearing this, Wang Ruohai could only shake his head and said: "Privy Zhang, although he doesn't know how to fight, is good at commanding battles. He is not a blessing to the imperial court."

Wang Xiaolie said: "This is the problem with literati. I feel that after reading a few military books, I know everything about astronomy and geography, and can strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away. Where is the war fought like this? So military generals look down on literati.

Literary men also look down on generals and look down upon them with disgust."

Wang Ruohai said: "Xuanfu thinks that it is feasible for a scholar to be a handsome man?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "What's not possible? As long as he knows how to fight, it doesn't matter whether he is a scholar or a military general! The most important thing is to know how to fight, not to make someone who doesn't know how to fight a commander. There are rules to follow in war.

, There are literati who do not understand the laws of war, and there are also military generals. In this dynasty, if the war is led by military generals, can it be fought well? Whether it is civil or military is not important, what is important is the ability to be a commander."

Wang Ruohai nodded: "That's it!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "The world is very simple. To appoint a person as a commander, it depends on whether he has the ability to be a commander. Why does it matter if he is a scholar or military general? But most of the time, people always don't pay attention to the most basic issues.

And getting entangled in minutiae. Basic issues, although basic, are not simple. Those who avoid talking about basic issues and talk nonsense are mostly incapable of clarifying basic issues."

After hearing this, Wang Ruohai nodded secretly, lowered his head and pondered.

Yes, things in the world are originally very simple, but when they are made too complicated, the basic issues are ignored. What does it matter whether they are civilized or military? The most important thing is that they must have the ability to be handsome. In history, Wanyan

When the Liang Dynasty invaded the Song Dynasty, the famous general Liu Qi retreated steadily, but the scholar Yu Yunwen turned the tide. Does it mean that the literati were better than military generals? During this period, the scholar Zhang Jun ruined the good situation in Shaanxi, but the military general Han Shizhong blocked Wu Shu in Huangtiandang, which shows that the military generals

More reliable than literati? In fact, it doesn’t explain anything. It just means that when Wan Yanliang invaded the south, Yu Yunwen was more suitable to be a handsome man than Liu Qi. In this era, Han Shizhong was more suitable to be a handsome man than Zhang Jun.
