Now that they have received Yue Fei's personal promise, those little family heads have put down the stones in their hearts. They didn't bother Yue Fei anymore, and automatically led their families and retreated to all corners of the castle. Or get out of the castle and go to the Li Mansion to find a place to rest. After all, they still didn't dare to go home.

Only Li Bashao still led Guo Jin, who had bandaged his wounds, to stay by Yue Fei's side. At this time, Yue Fei didn't treat Li Bashao as an outsider anymore. Yue Fei shouted, "Ji Qian, Yue Heng, Yue Xuan, the three of you quickly go to Zhang Xian's office to get three hundred sergeants each, and go to Fang Zhao Chu's three houses to arrest people." Grab a torch and set off immediately. ”

All three of them clasped their fists and said, "Yes, big brother." ”

Just as the three of them were about to go out, Yue Fei confessed again, "If you can, try not to use knives and guns." so as not to disturb the people of the city. ”

Yue Chuan was immediately dissatisfied, and shouted loudly, "Big brother, they will definitely not be arrested." How can you do it without using knives and guns? ”

Yue Fei saw that Yue Fei began to make a mess again, and his face suddenly darkened. Just as they were about to reprimand a few words, Ji Qian and Yue Heng hurriedly grabbed Yue Tuo's arm and pulled Yue Tuo out of the castle.

As soon as he got out of the castle, Ji Qian turned over and came up with a chestnut chisel on his head. "Little Liuzi, are you stupid? The eldest brother just told us not to use the knife and gun as much as possible, but he didn't necessarily let us not use the knife and gun. As long as they dare to resist, hum. ”

The three of them saw Zhang Xian, said Yue Fei's order, and then each led three hundred soldiers, and Li Bashao sent dozens of family members, carrying torches to lead the way, taking the nearest road, and going straight to the three mansions.

Zhang Xian watched the three of them walk out of the courtyard, and then looked back at the brightly lit castle. Zhang Xian now has only 800 people left under his command. Not only must you guard thousands of rebellious troops, but you also have to take care of the Li family. It's not an easy task.

The thousands of rebels have long been frightened, and there is no need to worry at all. Zhang Xian was worried that Li Bashao suddenly had some bad intentions. Seeing that this old man can lead a group of rabble, and can resist these rebel armies for most of the day just in his own yard, it is definitely not easy to match.

When Li Bashao invited Yue Fei and a few people to enter the castle together just now, only Zhang Xian did not enter. Facing Li Bashao's invitation, Zhang Xian said, "Old Li, if you have any matter, just discuss it with my eldest brother Yue." I listen to Brother Yue in everything. Now that there are so many people to watch over in the yard and so many corpses to be cleaned up, I won't go in. ”

At that time, Li Bashao took a deep look at Zhang Xian and no longer forced Zhang Xian to enter the castle. The heart said that this person is brave and martial, but he is cautious and meticulous. It is really a rare talent. And such a person is willing to follow Yue Fei, you can imagine Yue Fei as a person.

Li Bashao was very satisfied when he saw that Yue Fei sent someone to copy the three families. Although Li Bashao is a good person, he is by no means the kind of person who repays grievances with virtue. What he has always paid attention to is to repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness. Since those three families want to destroy their Li family. Then he can also destroy the three of them.

After sending the three of them out, Yue Fei looked at Li Bashao and said, "Elder Li, you and your neighbors are the ones who contributed to it, how to protect the safety of Yingtian, Fei also has to ask Elder Li for more advice." ”

Li Bashao touched his long beard, thought for a moment, and said, "General Yue." ”

Yue Fei said with a smile, "Old Li, I'm just white now, and I don't dare to be called a general." Elder Li just call me by name. ”

Li Bashao was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, "Okay, I'll rely on the old and sell the old, and call you a good move." It stands to reason that military and political matters are not something that squires such as us can intervene in. But now most of the officials in Ying Tianfu have run out. We can only organize ourselves and protect ourselves. As for how to protect Ying Tian's peace asked by Pengju, I thought about it, and Pengju only needs to do three things first. ”

Yue Fei said, "Please also ask Elder Li to speak clearly." ”

Li Bashao said confidently, "The first and most important thing, Pengju has already done. It is necessary to control Fang Zhao and Chu first. The power of these three families is extremely huge. People like them who are determined to cooperate with the golden dog will not be unprepared at home. Although the three thousand regiments subordinate to them were defeated by Pengju, they must still have some private soldiers. I'm sure they have a lot of standard weapons hidden in their homes. So that when the Jurchens move south in a big way this winter, they can quickly expand their army and raise troops to respond to the Jurchens. ”

Yue Fei said hatefully, "These families who fornicate with Jin Qiang should be killed one by one. The reason why the Jin soldiers on the north bank of the Yellow River are so powerful is precisely because these big clans are looking forward to the wind. ”

Li Bashao nodded. He agreed with Yue Fei's words. The emperor and Song Dynasty were rich in the world, and in the entire Central Plains, there were many families with financial resources and manpower, but when the Jin soldiers went south, there were not many who rose up to resist. As far as Li Bashao knows, the entire eastern Henan is also his own Li Bashao. Other families are taking advantage of the chaos to expand their strength, wait and see where the wind goes, and are ready to reduce their gold and rebel against the Song Dynasty at any time.

These families have absolute influence at the local level. Their surrender can even lead to the surrender of large numbers of civilians. Huizong was mediocre, and the evil law disturbed the people, and many people were dissatisfied with the Emperor and Song Dynasty for a long time. And these families who have reduced their gold are advocating the so-called rotation of the five virtues and conforming to the mandate of heaven. Their theory is very good at fooling the people. Many people really thought that the Jin people had come to save themselves by destroying the Song Dynasty. It's just that in the spring of this year, the Jin people broke through the Bianliang and tied up hundreds of thousands of people like cattle and horses, and transported them to Huanglongfu as slaves. Only then did some people who were obsessed with the Mandate of Heaven come to their senses and began to spontaneously organize a rebellion.

If there were no such big families who had descended from the wind, it would have been absolutely impossible for the Jurchens to penetrate the entire northern part of the Great Song Dynasty like lightning with those hundreds of thousands of horses. The combat power of the Jin people has been exaggerated countless times by these ill-intentioned families. If the Jin people were really so powerful, Wanyan Zongwang's tens of thousands of troops would not have been able to break through the small city of Zhongshan on Hebei Road until now. The reason why Bianliang was broken by the Jin soldiers was entirely because of the cowardice of the monarch and the cowardice, and he sent Bianliang to the Jin people.

Li Bashao saw that Yue Fei turned his gaze to himself again, as if he was waiting for his next step, and hurriedly said, "The second thing is that Peng Ju's troops and horses are too few. If you want to protect the millions of people in Ying Tianfu, you need at least 30,000 elite soldiers. The money and food for recruitment, Pengju does not have to worry. I guess your brother and Ji Qian can solve this problem for you. ”

Yue Fei said movingly, "Could it be that the three families of Fang Zhao and Chu are so rich!" It seems that it is not much different from the Han family in Xiangzhou. ”

Li Bashao said disappreciably, "Although the Han family in Xiangzhou has been famous, it was already decades ago. Their kind of family is actually just a shelf, and it has already fallen into its bones. ”

Yue Fei secretly praised Li Bashao's vicious eyes. The Xiangzhou Han family is indeed as Li Bashao said, and it has long been imposing. Otherwise, a few years ago, the bandit Zhang Chao would not have dared to besiege the Han family with only a few hundred people. At that time, if he hadn't killed Zhang Chao with an arrow, it is estimated that the Han family would have been ransacked.

Li Bashao continued, "The three families of Fang, Zhao and Chu are different. The Fang and Zhao families took refuge in the traitorous Cai Jing. The person in the Zhao family is the eunuch Tong Guan. From this alone, you can imagine how these three have been calling for wind and rain over the years. As for me,"

When Li Bashao said this, he laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I also have people in the court. Otherwise, it would have been eaten by these three families. The person in my court is Taiwei Gao Yu. Pengju, you don't despise the old man because of this, do you?"

Yue Fei shook his head, "What did Elder Li say?" Just by looking at the support of the people of Tianfu, you know that Li Laoshi is a good person. Self-defilement and thieves are really a last resort. ”

Li Bashao will no longer bother with this matter. He continued, "Although 30,000 soldiers look like a lot, Ying Tianfu is really the waist eye of eastern Henan, occupying this place, you can attack Xuzhou in the south, Kaifeng in the north, and Shandong in the east. Once the battle starts, this will be the place where the troops will be used. The Mr. Jin who escaped today has an extraordinary bearing, and he must be a big man in Jinyu. He sneaked to Yingtian so early, and he could see that the golden people here were determined to win. ”

Yue Fei said, "Don't worry about Elder Li. With my Yue Fei here, Jin Yuxiu wants to attack Yingtian. ”

If someone else said this, Li Bashao would definitely not believe it. However, Yue Fei's confidence and perseverance when he said this sentence infected Li Bashao, and Li Bashao suddenly believed that with Yue Fei here, Jin Yu would definitely not be able to attack Yingtian.

Li Bashao continued, "The third thing, the ancients, everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted. If the name is not right, it is not good. The old man was just a squire, and he had no official position in the court. And Pengju is just a white body. In what name we are going to form an army, and in what name we should expel the rebels here, we must think clearly. We can't learn from nothing. Otherwise, he would have become a figure like Zhang Bangchang. ”

Zhang Bangchang was originally the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Jin people captured the second emperor to the north, and then established Zhang Bangchang as the emperor. But Zhang Bangchang has no hope, and second, there are no soldiers and horses, the most important thing is that the roots are not right, the seedlings are not red, and he simply ordered not to move people from all walks of life. Because his surname is Zhang and not Zhao, he finally became the emperor alone for twenty-three days, so he automatically abdicated and gave up the throne to Zhao Gou, King of Kang.

Yue Fei listened to Li Bashao's words and was silent. He is not Zhang Bangchang, and he has never had the ambition to be an emperor. He is just a farmer in Xiangzhou, and since joining the army, his biggest dream is to defeat the Jin people and return the peace of the Central Plains. Not before the cane. After being punished with a cane, I had that strange dream again, and I didn't have the heart to be an emperor. In that era when iron birds flew in the sky, the emperor had long since become an obsolete antique. Yue Xiaofei in the dream flew thousands of miles back from Nanyang and fought to the death against the Japanese invaders, not to protect any emperor, but to protect this land and the people in this land.

But Yue Fei also knew that this was not the dream era of the iron bird flying around, this was the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song has the rules of the Great Song. He must follow the rules of the Great Song.

After thinking for a while, Yue Fei said slowly, "Elder Li, you are a squire, I am a white body, of course we are not qualified to form an army." Not to mention that they can't ignore the laws of the Great Song Dynasty like some rogues, and there are tens of thousands of people who engage in those farces that claim to be kings and emperors. However, the imperial court allowed villages and towns to form regimental exercises. We can form a team of tens of thousands of people to practice. The duty of the group training is to protect the township. Let's call ourselves Ying Tianfu group training. ”

Li Bashao frowned and said, "Pengju, it's okay to form a group practice." But it can't be called Ying Tianfu group training. If it is called Yingtianfu group training, in case the imperial court sends officials over again, there is a reason to command these group exercises. We can, of course, not listen to their commands. But the name is always wrong. ”

Yue Fei said, "Since this is the case, it might as well be called the Protector Legion Training." ”

Li Bashao thought about it and applauded loudly. "Okay, it's called the Protector Corps Training. This is the common people of Yingtianfu's own armament, even if the emperor comes, we can not listen to his dispatch. Anyway, in the two months that the emperor came, he had already collected all the taxes for the next five years. The common people have paid taxes and have no protection, so they can only form their own militia groups to protect themselves. ”

Li Bashao looked at Yue Fei with burning eyes, "Pengju, the Protector Army is a good name. Hopefully, the Protectors will live up to their name. ”

Yue Fei said loudly, "Elder Li rest assured. Since I, Yue Fei, dare to give this name to the militia group, I will definitely not live up to this name. ”

When Li Bashao and Yue Fei were talking, Guo Jin had been waiting beside them. Li Bashao had already persuaded Guo Jin to rest first, but Guo Jin always refused. Li Bashao understood that Guo Jin was actually thinking the same thing as Zhang Xian outside the castle.

However, looking at Guo Jin's left arm that was slashed by Sheza, and thinking about Shezha being stabbed to death by Yue Fei, Li Bashao didn't think that Guo Jin could protect himself.

Seeing that Li Bashao and Yue Fei were determined to form a militia group, Guo Jin said loudly beside him, "Master, I Guo Jin also wants to join the militia group." ”

Li Bashao laughed and said, "I can't be the master of this matter." You have to ask your Yue Tuan training envoy. ”

Yue Fei glanced at Guo Jin, who was amazingly tall, and laughed, "If Brother Guo wants to join the militia group, I will let you be the standard-bearer." ”

Guo Jin grinned and said, "Yue Tuanlian, I don't want to be a standard-bearer." I want to be a pioneer. ”

Yue Fei likes Guo Jin very much. I feel like my younger brother Yue Tuo, I am a little stupid. So Yue Fei continued to laugh and fool Guo Jin, "Brother Guo, don't you dare to be the standard-bearer?" Only a true warrior can take on the role of standard-bearer. When two armies fight, the standard-bearer is the most dangerous. They are to be at the forefront with their banners and be the first to fight the enemy. The enemy will also lay siege to the flag bearer with all his might, trying to capture the flag. If you want to be a standard-bearer, you must be mighty, second, tall, and third. You can't be a standard-bearer if you're not a true warrior. ”

When Guo Jin heard that the work of the flag bearer was so exciting, he immediately grinned and changed his words. "Yue Tuan Lian, I won't be a pioneer anymore. I'll be the standard-bearer. ”

Yue Fei and Li Bashao glanced at each other, and they all laughed. Guo Jin didn't know what the two were laughing at, and he was grinning and smirking on the side.

Li Bashao commanded a day of fighting, and he was already exhausted. It's just that because he discussed big things with Yue Fei, he could only hold on. Now that the big things are over, there are only some details left, and we can talk about it tomorrow. A big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and Li Bashao immediately felt tired.

Yue Fei also saw that Li Bashao's face was not good, and he must have been overworked, so he immediately persuaded Li Bashao to rest first.

Li Bashao smiled embarrassedly and said, "Old age doesn't depend on muscles and bones. I think when I was at sea, I could go days and nights without sleeping. Now I've only been busy for a day and I'm too tired to stand it. I'll take a break in this hall. By the way, Pengju, Ji Qian just said that you just received a military staff a few days ago, it doesn't matter, right? ”

Yue Fei said, "Elder Li rest assured. This little hurt is a small thing for me. ”

Li Bashao didn't quite believe Yue Fei's words. He wanted to order someone to remove Yue Fei's armor, but Yue Fei said with a straight face, "Li Lao can't." The military aircraft is unpredictable, I sent Ji Qianyue and Yue Heng out, and I must wait until they come back, or the messenger returns, before I can unload the armor. ”

Li Bashao was no longer reluctant. As a general, of course, you must set an example and strictly abide by military regulations.

Looking at the heroic Yue Fei, Li Bashao suddenly thought of his daughter Xiao'e. He thought that maybe his daughter, whose heart was higher than the sky, had finally waited for her hero.

Li Bashao has a total of three sons and one daughter, and now all three sons are dead, and there is only one daughter left under his knees. I'm twenty years old this year, and I'm still in the boudoir. Compared with other women who married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, Xiao'e is already an out-and-out old girl.

Since Xiao'e was sixteen years old, Li Bashao began to look for a son-in-law candidate. Li Bashao has a very high vision, and he thinks that ordinary young people are not worthy of their daughters at all. So he introduced a few young people to Xiao'e. What Li Bashao couldn't expect was that his daughter's vision was higher.

Those who are only eight years old have made a chapter, but none of them have entered Xiao'e's eyes.

Xiao'e said, I don't want to marry these sour scholars. It's useless, and it's powerless. My husband must be a great hero.

Li Bashao naturally laughed at his daughter's fantasy at that time. Now, Li Bashao looked at Yue Fei in front of him, and Zhao felt that Yue Fei was the person his daughter was waiting for.

Thinking of this, Li Bashao suddenly became neither sleepy nor tired. Started chatting with Yue Fei continuously.

Chatting and chatting, Yue Fei discovered that it was strange, Li Bashao always inquired about his family. And the eyes of his eyes are becoming more and more strange, a bit like the eyes of the old man looking at his son-in-law.
