"I'm going to reduce the strength to 300,000 people, and at the same time divide the 300,000 people into three corps, I don't know what General Lin and General Huyan want?" In late October, the war in Hedong finally came to an end, and everyone gathered in Fenyang City again to discuss post-war matters.

Regarding Zhu Wu's proposal, Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo and others had no objections. It is indeed inappropriate to keep so many troops for a long time on the current Shandong Road, and they also feel very much in favor of dividing the 300,000 army into three corps. In the past, Shandong Road had a bit of a plate of loose sand, only soldiers and no generals, and all the good generals were imported to Goryeo, so naturally they can't do it anymore. After being divided into three legions, they will be controlled by three good generals, and then the generals will be continuously selected, and even if there is a big war in the future, they will not be as restrained as this time.

"General Lin is the first person on the Shandong Road, and naturally he still commands the entire war zone, and I assist General Lin. As for the First Corps, I think General Huyan can be the commander of the Corps. In the second corps, General Wu Song could serve as the corps commander. After saying this, Zhu Wu paused slightly, and then said with some hesitation: "Third Legion, I think Yue Fei can be the commander of the legion." ”

After hearing Zhu Wu's words, everyone on the spot was stunned.

There was no objection to Hu Yanzhuo as the commander of the First Legion. Since the establishment of Shandong Road, Hu Yanzhuo has always been a general second only to Lin Chong and Zhu Wu, and this time to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, he is also one of the three giants, resisting the enemy in the southeast. It can be said that his prestige is extremely high, his roots are extremely deep, and naturally no one opposes him. As for Wu Song, everyone has no opinions, Wu Song is Wang Yue's own brother, and he used to be in charge of Liangshan Shuibo, now that he has arrived, it is also appropriate to give him a corps commander.

But for Yue Fei, many people don't agree with it.

"Yue Fei, is that seventeen-year-old general? How can he be the commander of the legion? Hu Yanzhuo was the first to snort coldly.

"Yue Fei has made a great contribution this time, without him, it will take a long time to defeat the 200,000 Western Army. Moreover, after Yue Fei went to Bianliang, he greatly shocked the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty and shined. His merits, his talents, are enough to be the commander of the legion. Zhu Wudao.

"But he's too young for the soldiers to obey him?" Hu Yanzhuo still asked.

"What's so young about? Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth...... Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who are not teenagers? When Li Yuan raised the army, Li Shimin was only in his twenties, and Emperor Taizu of our dynasty was only in his twenties when he joined the army. The younger he gets, the more potential he proves, and the more we have to nurture him. Zhu Wudao.

"No, I don't agree!" Hu Yan said coldly.

The two argued for a while, and some of the officials and generals below also started to discuss, some agreed with Zhu Wu's opinion, and some disagreed. Speaking of which, over the years, the foundation of Huyanzhuo Shandong Road has become deeper and deeper, and many of the following are his descendants, Huyanzhuo does not agree, and there are naturally many people below to follow him.

"The main reason why he was able to make a contribution was because the court was too corrupt. If I were him, I would be able to fight to Bianliang with a few thousand people, and I could even pull the emperor off his horse! After a while, Hu Yanzhuo suddenly said again.

"General Huyan, don't talk nonsense. Since you don't think his merits are significant, why didn't you repel the beautiful in front of you in the first place, and then go to Bianliang with thousands of people to pull the emperor off his horse? Shi Qian suddenly said coldly.

Shi Qian is the person in charge of intelligence on the current Shandong Road, and his identity is also extraordinary, and his words are also very weighty. After hearing Shi Qian's words, the following discussion began again.

"You!" Hu Yanzhuo glared at Shi Qian angrily, very dissatisfied with Shi Qian.

"Okay, let's talk about this again." Lin Chong stood up and said.

"General Lin, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore! Our Liangshan's military law will be rewarded for meritorious service, and punishment will be imposed for mistakes! As long as you make a contribution, no matter how young you are, you can be promoted! If there is no merit, there is no reason to be promoted, even if you are old! You can't just because he's young, because he didn't have qualifications before, so you don't reward him or promote him! In this way, I will never say yes! He must be appointed commander of the Third Legion! Zhu Wu also stood up, his voice was a little cold, and said.

"This ......" Lin Chong was a little difficult to decide.

Yue Fei was his disciple, in fact, he also intended to promote Yue Fei. But because Yue Fei was his disciple, he didn't dare to show his intention to promote Yue Fei, he was afraid that others would say that he was bending the law for personal gain. He originally wanted to discuss this issue again in the future, if Yue Fei really couldn't serve as the commander of the legion, it would be better to let him be in charge of more soldiers and horses. But Zhu Wu insisted so much that he had to stop again.

"I will never agree with this kid to be the commander of the legion!" Hu Yanzhuo glanced at Zhu Wu with a sneer, turned around and left the venue. After Hu Yanzhuo left, the scene was in chaos, and the rest of the officials and generals were far inferior to Hu Yanzhuo, but they didn't dare to do this.

Zhu Wu didn't care if Hu Yanzhuo left, he looked at Lin Chong coldly, Lin Chong was sweating profusely and couldn't speak.

"Yue Fei has made great contributions, he should be rewarded, and there is nothing wrong with serving as the commander of the legion! I'm all for it! In fact, his credit is greater than that of everyone in us, and if he hadn't been the commander of the legion, I would have been embarrassed to be the commander of this legion. Wu Song suddenly laughed and said.

Zhu Wu and Wu Song both spoke, Lin Chong thought carefully for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, let him be the commander of the Third Legion!" I will persuade General Huyan again, and I hope that General Huyan will not be angry because of this. ”

Hu Yanzhuo returned to his home in Fenyang, with an unconcealed anger on his face.

His son Hu Yanting Liang Shan was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and he was shocked when he saw Hu Yanzhuo so angry. He had always been afraid of his father, so he quietly put away his gun and stood aside.

"You shit!" Hu Yanzhuo glanced at his son and couldn't help but scold angrily.

"Father, why do you say that about me?" Hu Yanting asked a little depressed.

"Tell me, you are the same age as Yue Fei, and you are so much worse than Yue Fei! You are my son, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, but you have not made any achievements so far! Look at Yue Fei, his father is a poor peasant, but how much credit did he make this time? Zhu Wu, that puppet, actually wanted Yue Fei to be the commander of the legion, he was really angry with me! Hu Yanzhuo scolded angrily.

"This ......," Hu Yanting was a little speechless.

In fact, Yue Fei's fame has now spread, and everyone knows that there was a young general in this war, who was very powerful, and it was the credit of this young general to be able to defeat the Western Army. Later, this young general led his troops to rush to the city of Bianliang, and shot the current Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty with an arrow, almost killing the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. Later, when the Qinwang army arrived, this young general led thousands of Qinwang troops to charge continuously, and no one was invincible, and then brought thousands of soldiers back to Hedong without any damage.

The folk all rumored that Yue Fei was powerful, and Hu Yanting, as a peer, was naturally very unconvinced. Now that he is being scolded by his father again, the reason is also Yue Fei, and he is naturally unhappy.

"One day, I will definitely find this Yue Fei to try my martial arts! I don't believe he's as good as the rumors! It must be just a myth of ignorance! Hu Yanting said secretly.

Yue Fei is now in Jinning City, and after he got the letter of appointment from the military region, he was overjoyed.

There was still sparse snow in the sky, and Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Yang Lin, Xuan Fang, and Guo Sheng stood on the city wall of Jinning, exhaling cold air and talking at the same time.

"Big brother, you are the commander of the legion, and there are 100,000 soldiers and horses under your subordinates, are we all generals?" Zhang Xian asked excitedly.

"With your merits, you can all be generals! I have 100,000 people, which can be divided into five armies, one army for every 20,000 people, and the four of you are all army commanders! Yue Fei laughed.

"It's just that in the future, we will guard Puzhou City, and before I go to Puzhou City, I want to go home and have a look." Next to Yang Lin Road.

"It's nature! If you are close to home, you can go back to visit your relatives for two days and then go to Puzhou City. Yue Fei thought for a moment and said.

In the future, Yue Fei's defense area in the southern part of Jinnan will mainly be on guard against the imperial army in the south, and he will set off soon, and before that, it is also necessary to let the soldiers go home to visit their relatives.

"When the army comes back from home, when you arrive in Puzhou City, you must train your troops well! I, Yue Fei, must train the Third Army Corps to become the First Army Corps on the Shandong Road, and even surpass those people in Goryeo, do you have such confidence? Yue Fei looked into the distance and suddenly asked with a smile.

"Naturally, I have such confidence! Big brother, don't worry, we will definitely train our subordinates to the death, and we will not disgrace you. Zhang Xian also laughed.

"When training soldiers, eliminate all those who are unqualified, and I Yue Fei don't want unqualified soldiers and horses. We also have to go out to fight often, fight with the Western Army, fight with the forbidden army of the imperial court, only by war, can the army become stronger and stronger. We can also continue to practice and fight with each other, to see who trains the best soldiers, and see whose strategy is great......" Yue Fei said with a smile on his face.

When Yue Fei was excitedly looking forward to the future, Jiangnan was also cold and rainy.

In Qingxi County, Muzhou, countless people have frozen to death this winter, and the streets are littered with corpses. Tens of thousands of homeless people took to the streets, and they surrounded the county government office in Qingxi County, trying to beg the county official to give him some food and clothes, but the county government was closed, and the county officials simply ignored these displaced people.

When he was making a commotion, suddenly a big man walked out, and this big man was followed by more than a dozen men who were also tall and mighty, and these people surrounded this big man.

Seeing this big man stand up, the homeless people below suddenly quieted down, and many people recognized this person, this is a famous man in Zhejiang, Fang La, Qixian Village.
