"What?!"

"It's come to this?"

"Your Majesty has no food to eat?"

The generals were surprised, Yue Fei was not too exaggerated, Zhao Huan in order to show his support for the war, indeed said that from now until the end of the war, from three meals a day to two meals, the remaining food for the front-line soldiers to eat, support the soldiers to fight, the courtiers represented by Yue Fan have helped each other, and finally gathered three months' rations.

This is already the limit, the loss of the war is too great, many times it is not that I don't want to fight, but I can't afford to fight at all, otherwise, how can I come to the alliance of the abyss?

"So, ladies and gentlemen, this battle is what Your Majesty is looking forward to, and it must be won, and Your Majesty will only eat two meals a day until the end of the war, and the remaining food will be provided to the soldiers, and some of the meals we eat will be saved by Your Majesty! Soldiers, the emperor's grace is mighty, don't let it down! Yue Fei bowed in the direction of Beijing in the northwest, and the generals bowed with him, saying long live.

After preaching the idea of loyalty and patriotism, everyone fell into contemplation again, and the atmosphere became dull, 30,000 people, three months, to deal with 50,000 thieves, it is best to eat them all, so that the thieves do not dare to commit, how easy is this?

There is the strongest group of generals of the Song generation who gathered in Chang'an Mansion, but they were constrained by the restrictions of reality, and it was difficult to do anything. As a result, Zhang Xian sent someone to beat the board, which can be regarded as a peace of mind, but this is true. It's not unreasonable.

A huge amount of grain gradually converged towards Chang'an Mansion, and then turned west. Towards the direction of the battlefield, the soldiers and horses did not move. Grain and grass first, Yue Fei also took the reorganized army to the direction of the battlefield, the scale of this battle is not large, but everyone wants to participate, Yue Fei said, then each army out of 5,000 of the most elite army to make up 30,000 people, let's go together!

For the officers and men of the Western Army, this battle can be described as an itch in the boots. Don't miss the point, everyone has been recuperating for a while since the Yanyun War, and their physical strength has recovered to their peak, and they finally waited for the invasion of the party, but they couldn't fight happily, people longed for peace, but for the soldiers, peace was like a desert.

People pursue peace and a happy life. Therefore, war is unpopular, but real soldiers will still feel lonely, even if they know how hard peace is.

Everyone's mood is not too high. Yue Fei was also keenly aware of this, and speaking of which, Yue Fei's own emotions were not very high. Even though he was the first commander-in-chief of the whole army to be appointed by the emperor in the form of a holy decree and a jade seal since the reform of the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, there was no commander-in-chief who was restrained by literati and eunuchs. It is the first time that this war has been conducted in such a capacity, and it is of great significance.

But this battle. But under all kinds of restrictions, it must not be carried out heartily, which makes Yue Fei can't help but think of a few years ago, the peak of the Western Army in the Tong Guan era, at that time, he and Lin Chong were only dozens of miles away from Xingqing Mansion, and there was a flat river in front of them, the army of the Western Thieves was all defeated, and the main force was defeated, as long as the army arrived in Xingqing Mansion, the Western Thieves would inevitably be destroyed.

But an edict was issued, everything was in vain, since then, the Western Army fell from the peak to the bottom, until now, it has only returned to its peak state, the veterans of the Western Army are talking about the glory of the Western Army at that time, missing the comrades-in-arms of that era, missing the unfinished work at that time, always feel that the heart is empty, and something needs to be filled.

The regret of a few years ago must be filled, why does the Northwest Corps exist, everyone knows that it exists for the sake of the party thieves, and the natural mission of the Western Army is to wipe out the Western thieves, wash away the shame for the predecessors who have been drinking hatred on the battlefield in the northwest for decades.

The shame of the country has been washed away, but the shame of the Western Army has not been washed away, and this shame has been deeply engraved in the soul of the Western Army until now - Haoshuichuan, Sanchuankou, Yongle City, several defeats, are firmly remembered in the hearts of the soldiers of the Western Army.

Something must be done to wash away this shame.

Everyone also knows that today's Western Army is a super army that has defeated the Jurchen elite head-on, and it is at the peak stage in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness, but what about the party thieves? A major war a few years ago, the loss of three-quarters of the main army, the killing of countless generals, the devastating blow to the national army system, almost unsustainable, eased for a few years, that is, just to survive, whether it is military strength or national strength, it is far from the opponent of the Great Song Dynasty of Zhongxing today.

As long as the Western Army raises 100,000 troops, it will not take a year to make the party thieves a thing of the past and complete the greatest mission of the Western Army.

However, the country is in difficulty, there is no military salary and grain to provide, the army can only fight a small fight, but can not have a hearty war, want to use war to feed the war, but it is forbidden by the imperial court, can only defend and counterattack, can not pursue, if it is pursued, even if it is meritorious, it must be beheaded.

They are soldiers, they don't understand politics, and they don't know what the ministers and generals of the country are planning, and it is difficult for them to understand these decisions that seem to be extremely cowardly - even if the Jurchens are forgotten, they are still like this in the face of the party members, and we are really the men who have defeated the Jurchen iron cavalry face to face are all paper-paste?

The final stage of the battle of Yanyun can be described as heroic, a group of Western army men riding war horses with gunpowder tied to their bodies, shouting that the country will survive and die, lighting the fuse, and launching a desperate charge to the Jurchen iron cavalry group that is several times their own, the Jurchen iron cavalry is not to die, the Song army followed behind, chopping the horse's legs with a horse chopping knife, using a rope to tie the head, and defeated the Jurchen iron cavalry with infantry, defeating their arrogance, in addition, the iron cavalry army of the Great Song Dynasty gradually took shape.

These surviving men of the Western Army are full of blood, and if they disagree, they will tie up gunpowder and the thieves will die together, and before this battle, everyone was still laughing and talking about tying gunpowder to blow up the gate of Xingqing Mansion, making the Western thieves tremble in their dreams, and as a result, such a thing was announced.

Lost......

"Dashuai, this is not a matter, look at it, we men, one by one, are like eunuchs who have lost their lives, they have no spirit at all, if they want to fight, they will fight the war to destroy the country, or they will not fight at all, to deal with a western thief, the Yan Yan army is enough, and we all gathered together, we all thought that we were going to fight a big battle! Outcome...... Alas......" Wu Jue walked beside Yue Fei and complained vigorously.

"Who said no, Dashuai, Han Shizhong's three days of shouting that he couldn't go to Xingqing Mansion to die, although vulgar, but there is also a bit of truth, everyone also feels very unhappy, although we also know that the court is hard, but, but this is obviously a matter of great benefit to the country and the people, why didn't the court agree?" Li Yanxian was depressed.

Yue Fei became interested in Han Shizhong, and asked: "This Han Shizhong, you always mention it, Ben Shuai thinks it's quite interesting, this person looks a lot older than Ben Shuai, but his temperament is similar to Ben Shuai when he was young, what kind of person is this?" How about talking to Ben Shuai? It seems that he is Zongben's deputy general, Qin Fengjun's deputy marshal? ”

Zhang Xian heard Yue Fei talk about Han Shizhong, and felt that he had endured the angry eyes of his colleagues in the army, and stood up with a numb scalp: "Marshal, Han Shizhong was originally a veteran oilman, and he was promoted by the last general......

Yue Fei smiled: "It turned out to be you, then it's no wonder, what is the origin of this Han Shizhong?" ”

Zhang Xian said embarrassedly: "When we fought with the gold thief in Yanyun, we were often not the opponent of their iron cavalry, and then we were forced to have no choice, so we tied the gunpowder given by Yue Xiang to our bodies, and rushed over on the horse to die with the gold thief, which had a great effect.

That time, the last general led the army to the enemy with 10,000 iron horsemen, and more than 300 brothers asked for their lives and died with the gold thieves, Han Shizhong was also one of them, but after a big battle, this guy came back alive with the head of a gold thief general, his body was jet black, and his clothes were blown up, but he was not injured, and not a drop of blood was shed! ”

Yue Fei was surprised: "Rushed over with gunpowder, his clothes were blown up, but he didn't die?" ”

Zhang Xian said helplessly: "It's so evil, this old boy is so lucky that he can't do it, that time he cut off the head of a Wanyan royal general, and he was directly promoted to three levels, and then took the lead in attacking Youzhou City with a team of people, Dashuai, you also asked me who was the first to attack the city, I didn't think about it for a while, and you forgot it, it was Han Shizhong, who cut the banner of the gold thief, and was the first to rush to the city, that is called a fierce ah!"

Later, this old boy official became bigger and bigger, and accumulated real military merits, after the war, this old boy's military function was to be a military commander, and he was about to be promoted, and he was reported to you to know, but as a result, this old boy committed a crime, made a mix, drank too much and played drunk, fought with a group of comrades-in-arms, injured many people, and everyone thought that this old boy could not be a big official, so he was deposed and became his veteran oil.

Later, after the old boy returned to the northwest, he was still restless, saying that it was unfair to wipe out the great achievements because of drinking, and he wanted to sue the emperor, but his official at that time was Lao Li, and he was going to cut him down, so that he would not continue to harm others. Li Yanxian's face turned red, and he didn't say anything more, Zhang Xian continued: "I also heard about this, because I had an impression of him before, so I went to see this old boy, who knew that this old boy would not let go of his thighs and asked me to administer justice to him...... This, this, this...... Isn't this a splash?! (To be continued.) )
