"Brother Yue doesn't have to be too humble, just do it!"

Wang Song groaned: "Now Hejian Mansion and Zhongshan Mansion are isolated cities, and the surrounding prefectures and counties are all dilapidated. Taiyuan Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture were both occupied by the Jin people, and the Prefecture and Daimyo Prefecture were important places in Hebei Province and were the middle buffer zone of Tokyo City. The goal of the Daimyo's Mansion is too big, so we will be stationed in Xiangzhou, and the specific things will be handled by you and Dong Xian. The official will let Tokyo send the corresponding grain and grass baggage, you can do things with confidence, if there is any problem, just find the official!"

Yue Fei and Dong Xian both stood up straight, clenched their fists and said, "Everything is arranged by the minister!"

Yue Pan hurriedly said beside him: "Fifth brother, what am I doing, please give me a clear word today!"

Wang Song smiled: "This is arranged by your brother himself!" In short, be careful, don't smear the face of our loyal soldiers! ”

Yue Fei hugged his fists and said: "Xianggong, the villain has a few brothers, all of whom are outstanding in martial arts and loyal. There is also Chen Guang, the villain's master, who is also a strong martial artist. The villain wants to include them in the army and let them work for the prime minister together, but I don't know what the prime minister wants?"

"Very good, loyal general, the more the merrier!"

Wang Song pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Now that all the wastes are waiting to be revived, they are all in the stage of creation, and this official has appointed you as the commander of the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army, and you are fully responsible for all matters." Your official status and appointment, this official will then report to the imperial court!"

He turned his head and said to Dong Xian:

"Dong Xian, from today on, you are the deputy commander of the Hebei Zhongyi Army and the commander of the Chinese Army. If there is something that Yue Tong does not understand, you must do your best to assist. The first is to be responsible for military training, and the second is to be responsible for liaising with Tokyo to ensure that there is no problem with the supply of grain, grass and baggage. ”

"Xianggong, although rest assured, the villain must assist Yue to control and do his part!"

Dong Xian saw that Wang Song's face was solemn, and hurriedly hugged his fists and agreed.

Looking at the relationship between Wang Song and Yue Fei, it is an old friendship, and he naturally will not take the initiative to challenge Yue Fei's authority. In the loyal army, military discipline is strict, and he doesn't want to be dealt with by military law.

Moreover, Wang Song has always been discerning. If this Yue Fei didn't have two brushes, Wang Song would not have entrusted him with a heavy task.

Yue Fei was overjoyed and bowed solemnly: "The grace of the public acquaintance, the villain is unforgettable!"

Yue Fei's family members all showed joy on their faces, and Yue Fei even stepped forward to bow and said, "Grass people Yue Turn, meet General Yue!"

Mother-in-law Zhengse said: "Liulang, in front of the prince Wang, don't be rude!"

Although the mother-in-law taught her son, her words were a little joyful.

Although she is over sixty years old, she can't help but feel a fever in her heart. The son is in a high position, and has become the commander of the first army, and she, as a mother, is also relieved, and her face has become relaxed.

Liu looked at her husband incredulously. In her eyes, she used to be elm-like, stubborn and old-fashioned, and difficult to do anything, but she suddenly soared and was pushed to such a high official position!

Could it be that he has always looked down on his man?

"The military situation is urgent, and there is no room for delay!"

Wang Song nodded and said, "Over there, the Niu Gao brothers have collected more than 20,000 soldiers and horses and are stepping up training. Hebei should also step up! After the summer, there were a few battles first, and it took shape quickly. Jin Renxia went to the east, and it will be a big war in the future!"

He looked at Dong Xian and said in a deep voice: "Now that the weather is hot, the Jin people will not go south, we must seize this time to train our troops well, and we must not miss the opportunity!"

Yue Fei couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you transfer troops from all walks of life and states, and then train them into an army!"

"Brother Yue's idea is good, but it is too difficult and time-consuming. One is that the land of Hebei has been eroded, thieves are everywhere, and refugees are stuck in the road, these people are easy to co-opt, and it also solves the local security problem in Hebei. ”

Wang Song smiled bitterly: "Although this official is the envoy of the Tongzhiyuan and the Lianghe Xuanfu, he has the responsibility to appease the people. But they did not have the authority to draw soldiers. If it is forcibly conscripted, causing various roads and states to pass the buck to each other, and the garrison is chaotic, then the gains outweigh the losses. ”

The local sergeants were rotten, and there were not many new troops left in the training, so it was better to recruit a large number of sergeants from the civilian population than to spend time and effort and look at people's faces.

Wang Song looked at Yue Fei and wanted to test this famous general in history, which also convinced Dong Xian, so he said:

"Brother Yue, what are your opinions on training and governing the army, why don't you let this official open his eyes?"

Bole is in front, this is going to be an interview.

"In front of the prime minister, how can you talk about training! "

Yue Fei pondered for a while and said: "Xianggong, the villain thinks that those who use soldiers do not have it, and the five things of benevolence, faith, wisdom, bravery, and strictness are indispensable." Those who have merit are rewarded heavily, those who have no merit are severely punished, and those who are strict in their orders are also. ”

"Brother Yue, these are all your own people, you can speak freely!"

Wang Song nodded, and everyone in the courtyard also pricked up their ears.

"Xianggong, you talk to Wang Xianggong, and the concubine goes to make some tea."

Liu went happily.

Yue Fan whispered: "Fifth brother, sister-in-law is proud of the spring breeze today, and I won't embarrass you anymore!"

"In front of the prime minister, don't mess around!"

Yue Fei cleared his throat and said: "The so-called benevolence is not only to love soldiers like sons, but also to kill less and govern benevolently; Faith is to reward merit and punish guilt; Wisdom is flexible and flexible on the battlefield, and cannot be rigid; Courage is to sacrifice life and forget death, and have the courage to kill the enemy; As for strictness, it is the most important thing, the military discipline is strict, strict but not harsh, this is necessary to become a strong army. ”

Wang Song secretly praised himself, and it was indeed the founder of the Yuejia Army who "froze to death and did not demolish the house, starved to death and did not plunder", and "everywhere he went, he did not commit any crime in autumn".

"Brother Yue has experienced several battles and won the three armies, how do you think you should deal with the Jin people on the battlefield?"

"Xianggong, the villain believes that on the battlefield, courage is not enough, because the Jin people are brave and extremely stoic. However, our army lacks endurance and stamina, and only by strategizing first can we be invincible. ”

Before Wang Song's words fell, Yue Fei had already picked up.

His brain was already alive at this time, and he said loudly: "So, use soldiers to make plans first." The plotter, the chance of victory and defeat. Therefore, it is the way of the general, not to suffer from its lack of courage, but from its lack of strategy. ”

"Military discipline is the most important thing in army control. Meritorious service will be rewarded, meritorious service will be punished, treat tens of millions of people as one person, military orders are like mountains, vigorous and resolute! ”

Yue Fei's voice became louder, impassioned, and his spirit was flying.

"The key to a soldier is to be surprising and unpredictable. Battle after battle, the art of war is constant, the use is wonderful, and there is one heart. ”

Wang Song nodded and said: "On the battlefield, what is important is improvisation and judging the situation. The general is handsome, the order is prohibited, and the military order is like a mountain! And to treat the people, as long as the words "autumn is not guilty", it will be easy to stay in this Hebei land. Only through the strictest training, the strictest military discipline, and the support of the people can we become a truly invincible and strong army!"

Yue Fei was overjoyed, and said one by one: "Xianggong is far-sighted and far-sighted, Yue Fei admires!"

Wang Song shook his head and said, "But there is one thing, I am different from Brother Yue."

Yue Fei hugged his fists and said, "Please also make it clear!"

"Ren is for the good, but it is not a Jurchen fanzi, nor does it include Western Xia. First of all, if the two countries compete for the sake of interests, how can they be humble to each other? Can you see that when the Jurchens went south, when the Xia people invaded the Song Dynasty, they were righteous to my Song people? Between the two countries, there is only the naked law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, and survival of the fittest. Benevolence is only a product of the strength of the country, not the benevolence of a woman. ”

Yue Fei's face turned red and he wanted to speak, but he stopped talking.

"When friends come, there is wine, and when jackals come, what is dealt with is swords and guns."

Wang Song shook his head and said: "The Jurchen Yidi is not familiar with Chinese culture, but only knows how to blindly plunder and kill people like hemp, like beasts. To deal with these brutes, the only way to deal with them is to kill and injure the opponent to the greatest extent and make them lose their combat effectiveness, which is the fastest and most correct way, and this is also the ultimate goal of war. ”

"The prince talks loudly, and the villain admires"

Yue Fei hugged his fists and said: "Xianggong, the villain still thinks that everyone should be fraternized in order to respond to the way of heaven." If you blindly kill, it will violate the peace of heaven. ”

Yang Zaixing was dissatisfied and said loudly: "Brother Yue, you are the benevolence of a woman!" All I know is that the wolf on the mountain, when he meets you, he will not show mercy! The Jurchen fanzi went south, more ruthless than wolves, and more inhumane than beasts. If you speak to them of righteousness, beware of what you have learned from them."

Niu Tong also shook his head and said, "Brother Yue, you have also seen the situation outside. Everywhere the Jurchen Fanzi went, the old and the weak were killed, most of the women were taken captive, and the men were reduced to slavery. Thousands of miles of red land, corpses are strewn all over the field, and the people are hungry and cold, and they are displaced. Have the Jurchen fans ever been kind to my Song people?"

Wang Song nodded and said, "The greatest mercy to the enemy is the greatest cruelty to oneself!" Have you ever heard the story of the farmer and the snake?"

The Farmer and the Serpent is from Aesop's Fables, which is a collection of fables. It is a story handed down from the ancient Greek and Roman eras, which has been collected by later generations and is all under the name of Aesop, and Yue Fei and others have naturally not heard of it.

"One winter day, the farmer found a frozen snake on the side of the road home. He put the snake in his arms. When the snake woke up, it bit the farmer. Before he died, the farmer said, "I saved a poor snake, how can this be such a retribution!"

Wang Song looked at the people who could listen attentively, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone must have read the story of the Zhongshan wolf. To be a man, we must distinguish between good and evil. It is the duty of a human being to help the poor and help others, but it depends on who extends the helping hand. The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, for these wicked people, even if they are benevolent and righteous, their animal nature will not change, and it is the people of the Great Song Dynasty who will suffer in turn!"

"Hebei, Hedong, Tokyo, and the Central Plains are the left and right barriers, and now our army is in the stage of creation, and it is imperative to recruit and train troops in Hedong and Hebei. Brothers, time is running out, encourage each one! ”

Everyone agreed in a hurry, and everyone was excited.

Yue Fei said happily: "Xianggong, after the dissolution of the Hebei Marshal's Mansion, many rebels have dispersed. Now all parts of Hebei are fighting alone. Xiang Gong raised the banner of resistance to Jin again, and the Hebei Righteous Army will definitely respond. The villain is willing to go with his brothers and go to recruit. ”

Wang Song was about to speak, when the door of Yue's house was pushed open with a "creak", and several people walked in one after another.

The man in the lead, who was thirty or forty years old, asked as he walked: "Goro, a few of us see that there are a lot of cavalry outside the village, and we don't know if it is the cavalry of the Jin people, come and discuss with you to see how to deal with it."
