Chapter 122: Bonding Friendships
Zhao Zhen sighed slightly, knowing that the impression he had just made to Yue Fei was completely useless when he was interrupted by Old Taijun Yue.
He helplessly picked up the noodle bowl and said to Yue Fei: "This bowl of noodles smells fragrant, the price you pay for it is not, you can't eat him at will." ”
Yue Fei understood the meaning of Zhao Zhen's words, but he didn't know how to answer this words, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "Coarse food is clumsy, it is difficult to enter the eyes of His Royal Highness, please look at the mother's year at home, and taste it." ”
Zhao Zhen didn't say anything, he held the noodle bowl and ate it, Yang Zhi kicked Yan Qing, and the two of them went to the side to eat, Zhao Zhen sat with Yue Fei here, and after eating a few mouthfuls of noodles, he put the bowl down and said: "Brother Yue, although you and I can't always be together, but I am not afraid of danger, can Brother Yue tell me about the method of using soldiers in Hebei?" ”
Yue Fei hesitated for a moment and said: "Hebei is already insufficient to raise soldiers, Liu Yu is desperate for the livelihood of the people, to raise his own people and horses, it is a rootless plan, for a long time, he will definitely extract grain and grass from Shandong and the Central Plains to ensure his consumption, but Shandong is not all in his hands, the Central Plains is because of Zhang Bangchang's surrender, and returned to the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, what Liu Yu can do is to lead the troops south to seize Shandong and the Central Plains, and His Royal Highness's men and horses have become his biggest obstacle, Yue Fei Judging from His Royal Highness's arrangement, His Royal Highness is ready to withdraw from Shandong, which has two advantages, one; Shandong is easy to gather, can raise soldiers, two; Shandong several roads, did not be slaughtered by the Jin soldiers, and Shandong heroes are all righteous and loyal, as long as His Royal Highness erects the recruitment flag, there will definitely be a large number of righteous people to vote, and run Shandong, the West to peep the Central Plains, the north to look at the Daimyo, Liu Yu must not be able to go south, only afraid of defeat soon, but ....... ”
Yue Fei came here, touched his chest, stood up, and said loudly: "It will be safe to use troops in this way, but the people in the north will definitely be disappointed in His Highness, because His Highness runs Shandong, which will make the people of Hebei have the idea of being abandoned by His Highness. then break Liu Yu, first set Hebei, if defeated; Retreat into the Taihang Mountains, look for an opportunity to fight again, connect with the Han people in the Liaodi of Youyan in the north, connect the Northern Expedition army of the imperial court in the south, walk with the belly and back, the north can be determined, and with the financial resources of my Great Song Dynasty, as long as the north is pacified, within three years, the Jin State will collapse, and then the army will go north, and it will be able to smash the Yellow Dragon and welcome back the two emperors. ”
Zhao Zhen listened and looked immovable, Yue Fei was the one who later used the military method, while contacting a large number of northern rebels, while constantly leading the army forward, and later hit Zhuxian Town, and the north was also made by those rebels in all directions, smoking everywhere, if it wasn't for Zhao Gou's twelve gold medal orders to force Yue Fei to withdraw his troops, then Yue Fei's strategy might have been achieved.
"Brother Yue." Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "I listen to your strategy, it is very useful, but ...... What if there was no Northern Expedition? ”
Yue Fei's face froze, and then he shook his head and said: "Impossible, the imperial court marches with all its might, and the second emperor is covered in dust in the north, how can there be no Northern Expedition army." ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and said nothing, Yue Fei's argument became weaker and weaker, and finally sat down and said a little dejectedly: "How can there be no Northern Expedition army." ”
Zhao Zhen put down the noodle bowl, got up and said: "I'll tell the general, if there is no Northern Expeditionary Army, then the Northern Righteous Army will last for ten to fifteen years at most, and the people in the north will give up their support because they can't see hope, without the support of the people, the best way out for the Northern Righteous Army is to flee south, and when the people in the north are used to Jin Rao's rule, they no longer have the heart to resist, at that time, they will no longer welcome the Northern Expedition, but are annoyed that the Northern Expedition army has disturbed their lives, and the Jin army in the south of the Yangtze River has been lost. Is there still the ability to recover under the Northern Expedition? If you miss it again and again, the north will accept the rule of Jin Rao and become the ...... of the territory of the Jin country. ”
At this point, Zhao Zhen sighed and stopped silently, Yue Fei said with some excitement: "Impossible, the Great Jin is in the south, and there is the Huanwen Northern Expedition, why is there no Northern Expedition army!" ”
"Brother Yue, is it Huan Wen's army? Isn't that just nothing? ”
When the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed the hands of the Wuhu, the rest of the clansmen fled south and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Huan Wen as the first general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in order to establish his prestige, he led the army to the Northern Expedition, all the way to Ba, the soldiers and horses pointed directly at Chang'an, but Huan Wen's so-called Northern Expedition was completely for his own fame, in order to get the prestige of the Hui Dynasty to fight for hegemony, he was afraid that the Wuhu would be forced too much, his subordinates would lose too much, and lose the capital to fight for power and profit, so he ignored the retention of his father and led the army to retreat south, and Huan Wen could be Huan Wen from the beginning, I didn't have the heart to really recover it for the imperial court, so what was the use of such a northern expedition, even if it was there.
Yue Fei sat there without saying a word, he had read history books for a long time, and naturally knew that Zhao Zhen's words would inevitably appear, but this was also difficult for him to accept.
Zhao Zhen picked a few more noodles and ate them, and then said to Yue Fei: "Actually, Brother Yue, it's not impossible to achieve it, as long as Brother Yue is willing to serve in my palace, the 100,000 army will be transferred ...... by Brother Ren." ”
"Your Highness." Yue Fei interrupted Zhao Zhen's words with a smile and said, "You don't have to bully me, I'm afraid you don't have so many people in your hands, right?" ”
Zhao Zhen heard that he deliberately diverted, and knew that he didn't want to mention it again, so he said: "Brother Yue is so knowledgeable, then Brother Yue guess, how many people do I have in my hands?" ”
Yue Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness can defeat Yu Wanchun outside the Daimyo's Mansion, and Yu Wanchun's hands have at least twenty or thirty thousand horses in the hall, so His Highness's hands should also welcome... There are less than 20,000 or 30,000 people. ”
Zhao Zhen smiled: "That's about the same number." ”
The more speculative the two of them became, the more they talked about it, and Yang Zhi on the side saw it in his eyes, and said to Yan Qing: "You have a large head, can you borrow a reliable team?" ”
Yan Qing looked at Yang Zhi with some surprise and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Yang Zhi snorted coldly, pointed at Yue Fei with chopsticks and said, "What do you think you are?" His Royal Highness has given him such a big benefit, and he still takes three and four, then we will give him a broken root, you find a group of people to come over, take his home captive, and bring it back to our army, and when the time comes, see whether to go to our Royal Highness. ”
Yan Qingwan didn't expect Yang Zhi to be so crazy, and couldn't help but say: "If His Highness knows about it, the two of us can't afford it." ”
Yang Zhi waved his hand and said: "You don't have to bear it, I will bear it myself, even if His Royal Highness punishes the Sprinkle family for this matter, the Sprinkle family will admit it." ”
Yan Qing still hesitated, and Yang Zhi said angrily: "Did you just watch His Highness being humiliated by him like this?" ”
Yan Qing cried and laughed: "This is not a humiliation, right?" ”
"That's not it, what is it!" Yang Zhi said angrily: "If you don't want to, I will find a group of thieves and burn their house directly, and kill everyone." ”
Yan Qing couldn't help but have a headache, she really didn't know how to appease Yang Zhi, and finally had to say: "Don't make trouble first, let me think about it, you can borrow people and horses to use there." ”
"If you think about it, if you think weirdly, I'll do it myself." Yang Zhi said indignantly, Yan Qing smiled bitterly and scratched her head, she really began to think about what friends she had in this generation.
Zhao Zhen and Yue Feiyue agreed to the deed, and finally Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Yue, the king has an uninvited invitation, I don't know if you can agree?" ”
Yue Fei and Zhao Zhen talked for so long, and they also felt pity for Zhao Zhen, so they said, "Okay, Your Highness just cares." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "If my brother wants to marry Jin Lan with my brother-in-law, I will worship as a brother of life and death, what do you think?" ”
Yue Fei never imagined that Zhao Zhen would make such a suggestion, so he couldn't help waving his hand again and again: "How can this be made." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "What, Brother Yue thinks that my brother is not qualified to make friends with you?" ”
Yue Fei smiled bitterly: "It's Yue Fei who is humble, you are the grandson of the phoenix dragon dragon, how can Yue Fei afford it." ”
Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "My brother Mu Yue's reputation has been known for a long time. At this point, he got up and walked to the window on the side, there was a desk here, on which were the four treasures of the study, but Yue Fei kept taking the family's money and food to help others during this time, and in order to calculate the accounts, he put the desk here.
Zhao Zhen put a pen in his hand, and wrote in thin gold characters on the square note: "The origin of the pen is to envy the tiger's head, and it is necessary to teach to talk and laugh and find the marquis." The majestic man in his chest, and the green ping under his waist shoots bullfighting. The hero is self-harmonizing, and the clouds, dragons, winds and tigers are self-alike. The attempt to become famous is a man's son's chronicle, and people laugh at the time. ”
The more Zhao Zhen wrote Yue Fei, the more stunned he became, and when Zhao Zhen finished writing, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Zhen in a daze, Zhao Zhen smiled at him, and then wrote at the signing place: "Seven-year-old child Yue Fei's puppet question." Eight words, and then said: "Brother Yue, do you see if there are any words missing in this poem?" ”
Yue Fei looked at Zhao Zhen with a complicated face, and said: "Your Highness, this is written by Yue Fei by chance when he was in order to worship his father-in-law, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, except for my father-in-law, Mr. Zhou, and my three brothers-in-law, I don't know anymore, where did Your Highness know?" ”
At that time, the king did everything possible to inquire about Brother Yue's affairs, and learned a lot about Brother Yue's affairs from his youth to the present, but he was afraid that although Wang admired Brother Yue so much, he still had no chance with Brother Yue, and he failed to invite Brother Yue out of the mountain, but it was also the king's honor to be a brother with Brother Yue."
Yue Fei was moved and didn't know what to want, at this time, the curtain was opened again, and Old Taijun Yue walked out, and he saluted Zhao Zhen first, and then said: "Your Highness, the old body has been listening to it for a long time, with His Royal Highness's kindness to my son, my son is broken bones, and it is difficult to repay him, not to mention that His Royal Highness is looking for him, or for the sake of the country's righteousness, it stands to reason, my son should follow His Highness, go to His Highness's army, and die for His Highness, but ...... The edict of the son, the next step of the palace came to my house, and my son also promised Mr. Xu, early tomorrow morning, I will set off with him to meet the old man Yuan Rong in Tokyo, who is also a benefactor of my son, the man stands, there is no reason to break his word, so he can only go south tomorrow, and please believe that the king can understand my son's intentions. ”
Zhao Zhen showed a disappointed look, and Yang Zhi couldn't help but say, "Old lady, my Royal Highness no longer asks your son to go out of the mountain, only to save and fellowship with him, isn't this okay?" ”
Old Taijun Yue sighed and said, "Your Highness has broken the knots, so what should we use to repay Your Highness's kindness?" The Yue family is poor and unable to repay, all they can do is to sprinkle this blood in front of His Royal Highness, so as to live up to the love of my son under the order, but although the old body is in troubled times, he still wants my son to come back alive, not the so-called horse leather shroud, so ....... ”
Old Taijun Yue didn't go down, but his meaning was clear, and Zhao Zhen had to say: "Old Taijun doesn't need it, just know it." ”
He looked at Yue Fei as if he had a hundred words, but before he could say the last word, he said to Yang Zhi and Yan Qing: "Have you finished eating?" If it's over, let's leave now. ”
At this time, it was already dark outside, Yue Fei saw that Yang Zhi had dropped the bowl, so he and Yan Qing went out of the house, and couldn't help but be anxious, so he shouted to Old Taijun Yue: "Mother! Old Taijun Yue was unmoved, and Yue Fei didn't dare to urge again, so he had to chase him out.
Zhao Zhen came out of the courtyard at this time, and when he saw Yue Fei hurriedly chasing after him, he said: "Brother Yue, go back, the lonely king knows what the old man is carious about, so remember the old man's words, just don't come again." ”
Yue Fei couldn't be the master, so he could only bow to the ground and said: "Please Your Highness return to the army quickly, Yue Fei only wishes His Highness to show his ambitions and drive all the golden soldiers back to the desert." ”
Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I just remember Brother Yue's wishes." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the gate of Yue's house, and after only a few steps, he turned around and said to Yue Fei: "Brother Yue, if, if Lone is if, now that the official family is not resisting gold, can Brother Yue come to me?" ”
Yue Fei really didn't go out to refuse, so he said: "Yue Fei is not talented, just make a contract with His Highness here, as long as there is a day like the order, Yue Fei will go to His Highness's account to serve and do his best!" ”
"Good!" Zhao Zhen praised loudly and said, "That lonely is waiting for Brother Yue!" After Zhao Zhen bent down and saluted, he returned the bow to Yue Fei deeply, and then took Yang Zhi and Yan Qing out of the gate of Yue's house and disappeared into the dark Zheng
Yue Fei stood there in a daze, looked at it for a while, then passed, closed the door, and returned to the grass hall, and saw that Yue Lao Taijun was still sitting in the hall, and hurriedly went over to salute, and said, "Mother, it's not too early, you can go back and rest in peace." ”
Old Taijun Yue looked at Yue Fei and said, "Pengju, are you a strange mother?" ”
Yue Fei said in a panic: "Where does the mother have to say, how can the child blame the mother." ”
Old Taijun Yue sighed and said: "Originally, my mother didn't want you to be with King Xin, a young man with outstanding talents, such a person, not a king, is white-boned, and should have died early, but he is full of fame, such a person, you follow him...... That's it. Mrs. Yue was halfway through her words, stood up and said, "Since you have already promised it to others, then you should remember your promise." After finishing Yue, Mrs. Yue got up and staggered back, Yue Fei wanted to help, but she pushed him away.
