Chapter 308: General Big and Small-Eyed
Regarding Huang Zong's accession, Xi Yi, the envoy of Jinghu South Road, once congratulated Yue Fei and praised him greatly, saying that he had reviewed more than 2,000 articles on military books in Hou Province, and none of them could compare with Huang Zong's incisive and unique style.
In fact, the relationship between Huang Zong and Yue Fei is that of a teacher and a friend, and whenever Yue Fei is facing an enemy, he will first discuss with Huang Zong; Huang Zong is grateful to Yue Fei for his kindness, knowing everything and saying everything.
Because of this, Yue Fei often said to Huang Zong: "If Yue Fei has any fault, you must point it out to me directly." ”
The relationship between Yue Fei and Huang Zong goes far beyond ordinary friendship.
Zhu Meng, a native of Tonglu County, Yanzhou, said that he was a well-educated person.
As early as the fifth year of Zhenghe, he was alert to all kinds of signs of the fall of the country in the Northern Song Dynasty, and constantly wrote to Huizong, bitterly stating the evils of the times, which provoked Cai Jing and Tong Guan and a group of traitors to hate, arrested him and sent him to Chizhou.
Qinzong Zhao Heng ascended the throne in the line of fire, heard about Zhu Meng's name of loyalty and righteousness, and specially summoned him back.
In the first year of Jingkang, Tokyo fell, Zhu Meng said that he would rather die than give in, and actively organized the people to save the people and resist Jin, until he was defeated, he was exiled to the south, and he was relocated to the military magistrates of Taizhou.
Yue Fei admired his personality and invited him many times to arrange for him to work as a system division in the army. The two are like-minded and complement each other.
Xue Bi, a native of Yongjia County, Wenzhou, was born in Jinshi, and was resourceful and decisive.
In the early years of Jingkang, the Jin people invaded, and Li Gangjin vowed to hold on to Tokyo, and there were many people who opposed it at that time, but Xue Bi resolutely supported and supported Li Gang's proposition.
He served as a grain and grass officer under Song Boyou, a squire in the Criminal Department and a river defense officer, and was responsible for preparing food, military supplies and other logistics affairs. He is an extremely excellent staff officer-type talent.
Yue Fei recruited him to Yuejiajun to serve as a transfer judge on Jinghu South Road. It is fully responsible for the supply of money and food in the army.
Besides. There are also well-known literati such as Li Ruoxu, Gao Ying, Wang Liangcun, Xia Hui, Li Qi, Dang Shangyou, Zhang Jiefu, Yu Peng, Sun Ge, Hou Bang, Zhihun and Wang Dajie.
Hou Bang was originally a guest in the home of Hao Xi, the commander of Wang Xie, the commander of Jingnan Mansion, and was a friend of Huang Zong in his early years, very talented, and recommended by Huang Zong, Yue Fei specially sent someone to pick up Hou Bang.
Hao Xi felt that Yue Fei was digging into his own wall, and his murderous intent suddenly became angry, and he ordered someone to arrest Hou Bang and prepare to kill him.
Yue Fei was furious. slapped the case and said, "What kind of thing is Hao Xi?" Dare to kill the reader! "Warned Hao Xi to send Hou Bang respectfully and respectfully immediately, if there is a hair missing, he can't eat and walk around.
Hao Xi didn't expect Yue Fei to attach so much importance to a scribe, so he had to obediently send Hou Bang over.
Xia Heng and Li Qi are economic management talents.
Xia Hui first served as the judge of Jinghu North Road, planning the supply of money and food for the Yue family's army, and then Yue Fei Baozuo was promoted to the deputy envoy of Zhuan Yuan, responsible for the expenses of the Yue family's army.
Li Qi is good at managing money, serving as a return officer in the army, running ministers, rewards, preparing borders, returning to trade, guanyin, pawn treasury, house money, camp fields and other places. On weekdays, cloth and grass leather, in case of trouble, work hard.
Wang Dajie was originally a famous mouth in Sichuan. He is an eloquent and eloquent, and he is an extremely good spy. Infiltrated the enemy camp many times to engage in intelligence. The Yuejia army can know itself and the enemy when fighting, and it can be said to have made great contributions.
Li Ruoxu is a native of Zhaozhou County, Hebei West Road, and he has a heroic younger brother - Li Ruoshui, who is famous for his death in the Jingkang Disaster.
Hu Hongxiu is a native of Kaifeng, can carry a gun on a horse, can lift a pen when he gets off a horse, is the author of two volumes of military books, can write and martial arts, and is a rare all-round talent.
In short, among these people, there are both famous people and hermits; There are both officials from the imperial examination, as well as people in poor clothes.
Yue Fei is eclectic, only talented, and his staff are also doing their best, for those who know each other, and even to serve death. In the Yuejia army, the guests of honor are in agreement, and the generals get along.
It is no wonder that history says that Yue Fei "wants to make a move, summons everyone to control and strategize, plan and then fight, so there is victory and no defeat, and the enemy does not move when encountered, so the enemy said: 'It is easy to shake the mountain, and it is difficult to shake the Yue family's army.'"
At this time, the Yue family army had a strong lineup and a reasonable configuration. The generals worked together to fight against the Jin people, recover the rivers and mountains, and prepare to go
The Tukou of Dongting Lake were pacified.
After the war, Emperor Gaozong asked Yue Fei to concurrently serve as the envoy of Qizhou and Huangzhou on the Huainan West Road, and in addition to the envoy of the two towns, he also added an honorary title of inspector and major protection.
Immediately afterwards, Yue Fei was appointed as the envoy of Jinghu North Road and Xiangyang Fu Road, and the state capitals of Tangzhou, Dengzhou, Suizhou, Junzhou, Fangzhou, and Xinyangjun were assigned to Yue Fei's jurisdiction and managed them in a unified manner.
At this time, under the encouragement and persuasion of Zhang Jun, Emperor Gaozong also had the idea of letting Yue Fei go north to "solicit", and he also drafted an edict to Yue Fei with his own hands, which read: "Yang Mi's henchman has been cut off, and the idea of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains can be started." ”
Stimulated by Emperor Gaozong's edict, Yue Fei not only reorganized and strictly trained Yue's army, but also built "mountain cities and water villages" in Xiangyang Prefecture, Tangzhou, Dengzhou and other state capitals in Jiangbei.
At the same time, Yue Fei also followed the strategy of the old marshal Zongze, implemented the "strategy of connecting Heshuo", and contacted the rebel armies in Taiyuan Prefecture, Huaizhou, Delong Mansion and other places in Shanxi and Henan, and actively prepared for the next Northern Expedition
However, at this critical moment, Yue Fei fell ill.
He was suffering from an eye disease.
To make a long story, Yue Fei's eye disease has been there since he followed Du Chong to withdraw from the south of Bianliang City to build the Kang Mansion, which may be related to the climate.
The climate in the south is hot and humid, especially in summer, and the eyes are prone to irritation.
In the six years that he went south, Yue Fei used his troops in the summer every year, so his eyes would be uncomfortable every summer.
At the time of the onset of the disease, the condition of the two eyes was different, the right eye was light, the left eye was heavy, and when Yue Fei saw things, he had to open and close the right and the left.
In June of the fifth year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei returned to the Ezhou base camp from Dongting Lake, and his condition worsened, "his eyes were red and faint, and he couldn't eat." Limbs are depleted. ”。
And so. Yue Fei, who was dedicated to the public, submitted his resignation to Zhao Gou for the first time. The reason is that holding military power with a sick body is related to the life and death of the country, and if you covet glory and wealth and do not go to the stack, it will inevitably delay the great plan of restoring the homeland.
With the degree to which Emperor Gaozong is now dependent on Yue Fei, how can he let Yue Fei retreat? So he issued an edict to Yue Fei and replied: "Aiqing is responsible for high-class affairs, and the responsibility is heavy, and the secretary should be loyal and indignant, and the shame of the country." Encourage me to help Cheng Daxun not to ask again. ”
The emperor said it so bluntly, Yue Fei had no choice but to withdraw the application, handed over the military affairs to Xue Bi and Li Ruoxu for the time being, and recuperated at home first
During Yue Fei's recuperation, two things happened: one was bad and the other was good.
The bad thing is that there are actually man-made rebellions in the Yue family's army.
The general who instigated the rebellion was called Wang Qianzi, who was originally a capable general under Yang Qi, and was accustomed to eating large pieces of meat in the water village of Dongting Lake. Large scales divide gold. Since he was forced to surrender and joined the Yue family's army. It has always been difficult to adapt to life in the army, and he has long been anti-hearted.
Now when Yue Fei was sick and could not take charge of the army, he immediately started to act.
Wang Quanzi went in tandem with all sides, secretly meeting with and instigating the old troops to follow him to rebel.
Brothers, come with me, let's go back to the water village, eat fragrant food, drink spicy food, isn't it better than the clear soup and lack of water all day long here, and the rules and regulations?
Wang Quanzi expected to receive the enthusiastic support of his brothers, but he failed.
Although Yue Fei governed the army harshly and lived a simple life, he was very good to the soldiers and definitely shared weal and woe; Moreover, the newly converted soldiers were treated equally, in no particular order.
After such a period of getting along, almost all the newly joined soldiers were happy and convinced of Yue Fei, and not many people were willing to follow Wang Qizi to rebel.
Chief of Staff Huang Zong once saw a soldier in thin clothes in the bitterly cold weather, so he asked him tentatively: "The treatment in the military camp is so poor, you must have a lot of complaints in your heart, right?" ”
Huang Zong was quite moved by the soldier's answer:
"I have nothing to complain about. Compared with the soldiers of other generals, although they have cotton jackets to wear and will not be frozen, their food and salary will be deducted, and the life of their wives and children at home is embarrassing. In Yue Xuanfu's army, the monthly military salary has not been reduced, and I wear less clothes, because my family has many children, my parents are still alive, and the family burden is too heavy, not because Lord Yue treats me lightly. ”
This soldier's answer represented the voice of most of the people in the Yue family's army.
During the few days that Wang was busy, not only did the respondents talk to him, but even his mother was strongly opposed.
After repeated exhortations to Wang Qizi to no avail, this great mother decided to kill her relatives in righteousness and reported her son's crime to Xue Bi overnight.
When Xue Bi got the news, he was taken aback, and he didn't have time to report to Yue Fei, so he immediately took action and arrested Wang Qizi and several of his accomplices.
A rebellion was thus resolved without bloodshed
Not long after Wang Quezi was caught, Yue Fei encountered a good thing, someone actually gave him a beautiful lady as a beautiful concubine, and eight large boxes of gold and jade jewelry as a dowry.
This team of relatives set off from Shaanxi, beat gongs and drums along the way, and came to Yue Fei's mansion in Ezhou for thousands of miles; Because the action was too big, the news of Yue Fei's concubine was spread one after another.
Is there such a thing? Who gave the gift? What is the purpose?
After the team arrived in Ezhou, people knew that this was actually the handwriting of Wu Jue, the deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Sichuan and Shaanxi, the major master of the inspection school, and the envoy of the two towns of Fengning and Baoding Army.
Among the five Jiedu envoys given by Emperor Gaozong, only Yue Fei and Wu Jue were born as "colonels", and they rose step by step by virtue of their military exploits, so the relationship between the two of them was very good, and they often exchanged letters and messengers.
And Wu Jue made such a move without permission because he heard the messenger who came back say that Yue Fei's life was simple and did not discuss with Yue Fei.
This Wu Jue is also a deep brotherhood and a good intention...... (To be continued......)
PS: Xie Lu Xie is very sweet, and the beautiful girl 007 is a big reward and support.
