The sun has reached the western sky, and the sunlight has become softer. The sky's glow passes through the window and shines on the table, revealing a golden color.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark. Five people had been discussing in this room all day and drank many cups of tea.

Wang Ruohai rubbed his hazy eyes, stood up and said, "We have almost discussed all the issues that should be discussed. I will summarize everyone's opinions to see if there is anything missing."

"With Zhai Xing's troops and Dong Xian's cooperation, we should be able to defeat Meng Bangxiong and occupy Luoyang. Even if the war does not go smoothly, it will only last longer. Meng Bangxiong will not be able to cause much damage to Zhai Xing. The most important thing is The question is whether Zhai Xing can hold Luoyang after occupying it."

"We believe that the Jin Army will urge Liu Yu to send troops to retake Luoyang. During this process, there will be some reinforcements from the Jin Army, but it is impossible for the entire Jin Army to come to the rescue. The reinforcements are most likely to come from Shaanxi, about 20,000 to 30,000 people People and more troops are impossible! If we help Zhai Xing to fight for reinforcements, we can be sure that Zhai Xing will win and retake West Jing Road!"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Xiaolie said: "The attack on Luoyang involves a lot of things. To be honest, Meng Bangxiong who is guarding Luoyang is not a strong opponent. Whether it is Zhai Xing or Cao Zhiyan of Ruzhou, they can defeat him. The most difficult thing is how much force the Jin army and the puppet Qi will use to attack Luoyang after they capture Luoyang. I am not sure about this, so I am a little hesitant about the Northern Expedition. Today we discussed it all day, and based on the current intelligence, we basically The matter has been discussed clearly. In one sentence, we support Zhai Xing’s Northern Expedition, and we fully support it!”

Having said this, Wang Xiaolie stood up and walked to the door. He looked at the setting sun in the west and was silent for a while. He turned around and said: "Once you have made a decision, don't look back. Don't be afraid of wolves in front of you and fear of wolves in the back." Tiger! We must trust our own judgment and cannot hesitate! In this Northern Expedition, Zhai Xing concentrated his forces to attack Luoyang, but we will not participate. The Chinese army went north from Lushan County to Ruzhou as Zhai Xing's backing. Our troops are too strong If there are too many, Zhai Xing will inevitably have doubts. If you doubt, just doubt, there is no need to say more and do more. After Zhai Xing occupied Luoyang, he went north from Yingchang Mansion on the right and occupied Zhengzhou. If Liu Yu came to help, he would block the reinforcements in Zhengzhou. The left army, plus the three regiments of the rear army, concentrated about 20,000 troops in Lushi County, and the rest of the troops focused on defending Shangzhou. If the Shaanxi Jin army came to help, Lushi would go north to attack Guozhou and Shaanxi, and annihilate the Jin Dynasty. Military reinforcements!”

Wang Ruohai said: "Jie Shuai is right. We just do our own thing well and don't care what others say."

Wang Xiaoxing said: "After this battle, the troops in Shaanzhou, Zhengzhou, Mengzhou and Jiangzhou around Luoyang will be empty. We will occupy it. Zhai Xing is originally from a wealthy family in Luoyang, and his troops are mainly descendants of the Zhai family. He is basically the one who occupied Luoyang. Our power has reached its limit. We are not fighting for Luoyang, but for the surrounding areas. The Sanhe area is located in the world and has been the foundation of the world since ancient times. Although we do not occupy Luoyang, part of Henan Prefecture, plus Hedong of Jiangzhou and Jinzhou area is enough."

Wang Ruohai said: "It has been said since ancient times that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. After Zhai Xing's Northern Expedition, commander-in-chief will eventually face the problem of how to get along with each other. If the court intends to appoint Zhai Xing as commander again, things will be even more difficult."

Wang Xiaolie said: "If we take one step at a time, what can we say now? Who has the final say? It all depends on who wins the hearts of the people and who has more soldiers. We cannot start a war with our own people. No matter how big the conflict is, we must find a way to resolve it.

"

Wang Ruohai and others did not speak after hearing this.

In the eyes of Wang Ruohai and others, the biggest problem in Zhai Xing's Northern Expedition is not how to defend it, but the relationship between Wang Xiaolie and Zhai Xing. Wang Xiaolie has many soldiers in many places. If Zhai Xing takes the lead in the Northern Expedition, things will be different in the future.

It was difficult to deal with. The imperial court originally distrusted Wang Xiaolie, but now it intervened and made Zhai Xing, who had succeeded in the Northern Expedition, the commander of the west of Beijing, and Wang Xiaolie was placed under him. The matter became even more complicated. However, Wang Xiaolie did not say anything.

, others can only think in their hearts. Zhai Xing is a famous general who has always resisted gold, so he cannot be attacked.

Dingxiang Restaurant, located on the bank of the Han River, is the most upscale restaurant in Xiangyang City that was built a few months ago. It was named because Wang Xiaolie thought the name sounded good because of a TV series in his previous life. All the restaurants in Xiangyang City

Among the restaurants, no one has more dishes, more varieties, and a better environment than Dingxiang Restaurant. Of course, the prices are also much worse.

At noon on the third day, Wang Xiaolie hosted a banquet in Dingxiang Tower to entertain Cui Sanshe and his entourage.

The boy led him through the front hall and to the pavilion in the backyard. After walking through the flowers and trees, he arrived at a place full of chrysanthemums. After passing through the chrysanthemums, there was a pavilion behind.

There are bamboos all over.

Wang Ruohai was waiting outside. When he saw Cui Sanshe and Ren Zhiqing arriving, he hurried forward to greet them.

Entering the pavilion, Wang Xiaoxing said: "It's far from hard work for the people in the house. Today we have prepared a special banquet to welcome the wind to the people in the house."

After saying that, everyone sat down separately.

Cui Sanshe looked around and felt that everything was good. He had lived for decades and had never seen such a luxurious place. Even the four pillars of the pavilion were carved with various patterns and looked lifelike.

The boy served tea and several plates of fruits for everyone to chat.

The fruits are nothing more than hazelnuts, pine nuts, chestnuts, pancakes, pears, dates, etc. But each one is carefully selected, and it is impossible to buy such exquisite ones when buying outside. When Cui Sanshe saw it, he just felt

Unprecedented beauty.

After drinking tea for a while and chatting a few words, Ren Zhiqing couldn't help but asked Wang Xiaolie: "Commander Jie, what do you think of us suppressing the Northern Expedition?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Today I also tell you that we will fully support the Northern Expedition. It has been five years since the Jingkang disaster and the gold thieves invaded the south. Now the country is broken, the people are suffering, and there are countless tragedies in the middle. The people.

Looking south day and night, I only think about the king's army going north. Zhai Zhenfu is willing to send troops at this time, which is exactly what the people want, how can we stop it?"

After hearing this, Cui Sanshe rubbed his hands happily and said, "Commander Jie understands the righteousness! With Commander Jie's help, Xijing is in your hands!"

Wang Xiaoxing said: "The defender of Luoyang, Meng Bangxiong, was originally just a local tycoon from Yong'an. Taking advantage of the turmoil in the world, he gathered idle people and became the defender of Xijing. Zhai should not have any difficulty in controlling the Northern Expedition. However,

Let’s talk about it earlier. We believe that it is not difficult to succeed in Zhai Zhenfu’s Northern Expedition. What is difficult is how to hold Luoyang. Luoyang is the main road between the west of Beijing and Shaanxi and cannot be compared with other places in the world. If Luoyang is lost,

The Puppet Qi and Jin armies will definitely not give up. How to stop their reinforcements is the most important thing."

Ren Zhiqing said: "Zhenfu sent me and I to Xiangyang just for this matter. We don't have many troops, less than 20,000 people. How can we stop the Jin people's tiger and wolf troops? There are many generals in the army, as long as we take action

, it will definitely ensure peace in Luoyang."

If Zhai Xing has 20,000 people, no matter how big Yiyang County is, there will not be enough food to eat. At this time, the generals always like to exaggerate their military strength to outsiders, and Wang Xiaolie will not say it. As long as he knows what he knows, he can say whatever he wants.

Seeing that Wang Xiaolie was silent, Cui Sanshe said anxiously: "Commander Jie, this is the time to serve the country——"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Don't be impatient. This is our plan. Zhai Zhenfu marches into Luoyang to fight Meng Bangxiong. Our army will not participate. Speaking of which, Meng Bangxiong is just a local tycoon. Too many troops in Longmen are too much.

It's crowded. If Zhai Zhenfu captures Luoyang, our army will go up to Zhengzhou from Yingchang Prefecture to block the reinforcements gathered by Liu Yu for you. If there are still Jin troops coming from Shaanxi, we will send out the Lu family and occupy Guozhou and Guozhou.

Shaanzhou, seal the Jin army around Luoyang. The army marches north from Ruzhou and fights decisively at the foot of Luoyang City!"

After hearing this, Cui Sanshe's eyes couldn't help but shine. In this way, as long as Zhai Xing occupied Luoyang, Wang Xiaolie would have blocked the other battles for him. With only a few thousand people, occupying a large city of Luoyang, the future prospects
