The weather is getting hotter, and the Jin people have already gone north to escape the heat, but for Wang Song, who is in Lianghe, he would rather pass this time slowly, so that he can train enough elite soldiers as soon as possible.

To the east of the river, the loyal and righteous army finally consolidated the south of Longde Mansion, and Wang Lun could camp in Tuntian with confidence. As for Hebei, the Song and Jin Dynasty probably confronted each other with the water as the boundary, but to the north of the water, there were still countless Song troops trapped in the lonely city and resisted stubbornly.

In the summer heat, a large number of golden soldiers retreated, Wang Song also commanded a few veterans under his subordinates, supplemented by thousands of recruits, to attack the city and pull out the village, and continuously sent food to more than 30 isolated cities in Hebei to boost morale.

Everyone knows that in late autumn and winter, the Jin soldiers will go south again, and Song and Jin will be a big battle again.

"Xianggong, the north of this water is basically scrapped!"

Yue Fei frowned, pointed to the map on the table and said.

He had just returned from the north with his soldiers after delivering food, and what he saw along the way was that the fertile fields were barren, the corpses were all over the field, and there were no people for thousands of miles, which was shocking.

"Who said no, there are bandits on the canal and Taihang Mountain, and many people know that they can't beat the official army, and they still have to come up to grab food, it seems that they are all hungry and crazy!"

Xu Qing said loudly on the side.

Wang Song nodded. The fields are barren, there is no one to cultivate, and there is a natural shortage of food. When the Jin people went south, they brought the Han people not only the pain of war, but also the most basic life problems.

"Brother Yue, the next time you encounter these bandits, give them some food, let them try to return to the south of Hebei, and don't kill blindly."

Wang Song pondered for a moment, and Chen Sheng: "This official will play to the court and ask them to bring more grain."

"Wang Xianggong, the grain and grass from the imperial court arrived a few days ago, and what those ministers said is different from you."

Wang Gui looked at Wang Song and said softly: "Zhang Xianggong said, grain and grass should be saved, and if you encounter bandits, you will be killed." Say, 'Who should we listen to?'

Wang Song couldn't help but be stunned, raised his head, and looked at Wang Gui.

It stands to reason that Wang Gui is a subordinate of his army, although he does not have the right to transfer troops, and he needs to go to the imperial court, why does Wang Gui dare to talk to him like this?

Yue Fei's face turned red, and he shouted loudly: "Wang Gui, how can you talk here, why don't you hurry up and apologize to the prime minister?"

Wang Gui saw that Wang Song's face was pale, and he panicked for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and said: "The villain's words are reckless, and he contradicts the Xianggong, please punish the Xianggong!"

Wang Song waved his hand and quickly calmed down.

"In the army, it is natural to come according to the military order, as for those ministers, if anyone is willing to follow, this official will not stop them."

All the generals in the house knelt down together, and they all clasped their fists and said: "It's all based on the military order of the Prime Minister!"

Wang Song nodded, and said softly: "Brothers, get up, this official has something to say!"

Wang Song looked at Yue Fei and said with a smile: "This official has already played the imperial court, and the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army will immediately become an army, and now that the holy decree has arrived, all brothers can listen to the decree with peace of mind."

Everyone was stunned, and then their eyes became warm, and they all stood up straight.

Only Wang Gui and Xu Qing were a little calm, and there was a hint of pampering and humiliation.

Wang Song couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but seeing that everyone had quieted down and looked at him together, he had to raise his head and look at the people below.

"Brothers, you don't have to worry anymore!"

Wang Song cleared his throat and said to the people below: "Now that Hebei's recruitment has come to an end temporarily, the next step is to train the troops." Before taking office, His Majesty allowed me to set up my own subordinates. The appointment of the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army was officially decided today. ”

Everyone was apprehensive in their hearts, and they stepped aside together, standing in two rows, each with his head raised and his chest held high, and stood solemnly.

Wang Song looked at the people below and nodded to Ma Kuo on the side.

Ma Kuo stepped forward and said loudly:

"The Great Song Lianghe and Shaanxi Xuanfu Divisions appointed Yue Fei as the commander of the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army, and the commander-in-chief of all military affairs."

"The Last General's Order!"

Yue Feicheng was terrified, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to thank him.

Although Wang Song said that he would be the commander of the First Army, there was no one and no food at that time. Today, he finally stepped into the sky and ascended to a high position, and his heart was quiet.

Wang Song said solemnly: "Yue Commander, the lives of the 30,000 soldiers of the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army will be handed over to you!" You must do your best, fulfill your duties, serve the country, and live up to the trust and trust of your officials!"

Yue Fei's voice trembled slightly, and he bowed solemnly: "The villain thanks Xianggong for his grace!" The villain will definitely make more military exploits in the future, serve the country loyally, live up to the court, and live up to the public's expectations!"

Ma Kuo looked at everyone in the hall and continued: "The appointments of the Xuanfu Division are as follows:

Dong Xian is the deputy commander of the capital and the commander of the Chinese army, leading 5,000 people;

Yue turned into a heavy battalion and led 5,000 people;

Xu Qing was the commander of the former army, leading 3,000 troops;

Wang Gui was the commander of the Right Army, leading 3,000 troops;

Niu Tong was under the command of the Left Army, leading 3,000 troops;

Zhao Bangjie was the commander of the rear army, leading 3,000 troops;

Guo Guangwei was under the command of a hundred armies, leading 3,000 troops;

Zhang Sheng was the commander of the Youyi army, leading the cavalry and leading 1,000 people;

Dong Qiang was in charge of the artillery battalion, leading the artillery and leading 1,000 people. ”

All the generals stepped forward together and prayed: "Obey the military orders of the Prime Minister!"

Ma Kuo continued: "The artillery comes to our army's new troops, and the artillery will be completed after training. In addition to the 1,000 people in the artillery battalion who were not yet ready, the Xuanfu Division retained 3,000 people, which were temporarily under Yue Fei's control. The total number of troops was 30,000. Everyone performs his own duties, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise military justice will serve and severe punishment will not be awarded!"

Everyone listened to the order solemnly, and Yue Fei was even more uneasy. The commanders of the 2nd Battalion of the 7th Army and the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Army of the Hebei Zhongyi Army are all villagers he brought out from filial piety.

Wang Song trusted him so much, he had no choice but to sacrifice his life to repay his kindness.

Zhang Sheng's heart is beating straight. He used to be nothing more than a battalion commander of a grenadier battalion, leading 500 men. Now he has directly become the commander-in-chief of the cavalry and the commander of the first army.

Although he is Zhang Heng's fellow sect, Wang Song obviously did not promote him because of this.

Zhang Sheng trembled and hugged his fists and said, "Villain...... Many...... Thank you!"

"Zhang Sheng, in the battle outside the Xuanhua Gate that day, you took the lead bravely, and the golden man who led the grenadier battalion to bomb was flesh and blood, which can be described as magnificent! In the future, we must lead more brothers to be more cautious and brave!"

Wang Song nodded and said, "Although the cavalry is only 1,000 people, it is an establishment of 3,000 people. As for where the cavalry and horses come from, that's your business. Work hard, protect the family and defend the country, make meritorious contributions, seal your wife and son, and this official will not treat his brother badly!"

Zhang Sheng burst into tears, and involuntarily knelt down on one knee and said: "Xianggong, the villain must do his best, and after death, he will never live up to Xianggong's expectations!"

Dong Qiang is Dong Ping's cousin, steady and down-to-earth, and they are both old brothers who killed Xiongling.

Seeing Wang Song's eyes, he hurriedly stepped forward to clench his fists, knelt down on one knee and said, "The villain obeys the orders of the prime minister!" ”

"Brothers, in my loyal and righteous army, you are all brothers in life and death of your own officials, we share blessings and hardships, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and serve the country."

Wang Song nodded, let the two stand up, and said loudly to the generals in the war: "Your glory and wealth will be handed over to the hands of this official." Everything in this army depends on you. ”

Wang Song bowed, and all the generals replied solemnly: "Don't worry, your subordinates will never fail to be public!"

Everyone left one after another, Wang Song looked at the figure of Yue Fei and the others leaving, and couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

"Xianggong, as soon as this Zhang Jun comes, the wind direction changes immediately. It seems that the water in this court is very deep!"

Ma Kuo shook his head slightly, leaving Wang Song alone in the room to ponder.

Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Xu Qing and others returned to their residences, and as soon as they entered the door, Zhang Jun was already smiling and greeted them.

"Congratulations, generals!"

Yue Fei was taken aback, he didn't expect that this disposal envoy would personally come to the barracks to comfort his people.

"Zhang Xianggong, why are you here, forgive your sins, please take a seat."

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "Brothers, this official is now the Hebei disposal envoy, and he is in charge of observation, handling, and decision-making in military affairs.

Several people sat down separately, and Zhang Jun naturally sat at the top.

"Generals, Your Majesty will hand over this Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army to you, and I hope that you will be loyal to the country, swear to kill the thieves, and live up to the emperor's grace!"

Zhang Jun said softly, with a smile on his face.

"Before leaving, Your Majesty, and Geng Xiang's bus generation, you must train the new army and train your troops and horses to deal with future wars, do you know the generals?"

Yue Fei's face turned red, and he hugged his fists and said, "Zhang Xianggong can rest assured!" We must train the new army well and live up to the high expectations of Your Majesty and the imperial court!"

Wang Gui also clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Zhang Xianggong, if you put your heart in your stomach, we will definitely train the soldiers, kill the gold thief, and share the worries of Your Majesty and the court!"

Yue flipped it in his eyes, and couldn't help sneering secretly in his heart, there is Wang Song on it, when will it be Zhang Jun's turn to give orders?

In the military, what is important is to order and prohibit. If it is like now, Wang Song has one sentence, Zhang Jun has another sentence, what combat power does this loyal army have?

Zhang Jun must have ulterior motives in doing this.

Sure enough, Zhang Jun lowered his voice and became serious.

"Whether it is the Hedong Loyal Army or the Hebei Loyal Army, they are all the teams of the imperial court, not owned by a certain person, or some people, brothers, you must keep your eyes open and don't let the traitors succeed!"

Xu Qing and Wang Gui all looked at each other, and after a while, Xu Qing shook his head lightly and said: "Zhang Xianggong, Wang Song is a close minister of His Majesty, and I heard that he has something to do with Emperor Roufu. Wang Song shouldn't harbor evil intentions, what kind of loyal and righteous army is his own, right?"

He said that Wang Song on the left and Wang Song on the right had no respect at all, and he had already explained his position.

"Wang Song's soldiers are strong and strong, the court should be careful!"

Wang Gui hurriedly echoed on the side.

"Xu Qing, Wang Gui, what are you talking nonsense!"

Yue Fei stood up suddenly, his face was pale, and he scolded the two in a low voice: "Xianggong Wang has repeatedly saved His Majesty and the court in danger, how can he harbor evil intentions!" Hurry up and step down, or military law will be engaged!"

Xu Qing and Wang Gui both blushed, but they didn't dare to refute Yue Fei, they lowered their heads and stopped talking.

"Yue Dutong, whether Wang Song is a traitor or not, this matter will be known in the future!"

Zhang Jun broke the silence, he also stood up, and sneered: "The important thing now is that the loyal army cannot be surnamed Wang, it must be the army of the imperial court. If anyone violates this purpose, it is a great crime to destroy the family!"

Yue Fei's face changed drastically, and he was extremely ugly, and sat back in his chair.
