Yue Fei went up from the Shuojiang River in Xiangyang, went to Yuzhou, crossed the Hanzhong Plain, entered Guanzhong, and when he arrived near Chang'an City, it was only half a month.

Unlike when he set off, the Guanzhong Plain was already a late autumn scene. The wheat harvest has passed, and the fields are full of harvested fields, and the stubble is lying in the ground, and the farmers slowly gather and push the straw into a haystack. The leaves on both sides of the road were golden and scattered to the ground, and then there were brown mountains and slopes everywhere, and everywhere you looked, there was a golden yellow everywhere.

Not only Yue Fei, but also Yue Yun and many generals accompanying him, they were also the first time to go to Deguanzhong, and they saw such an autumn scene, but it was also the first time they had seen it in their lives, and they were all stunned.

Yue Fei was different from the side, after a few glances at the scenery, he paid attention to the nearby roads, water conservancy and people's livelihood, naturally, the most important thing was the situation of the garrison.

Chang'an is not the capital of the Great Song Dynasty now, the edict is only called the line, and the original name of Jingzhao Mansion is also abandoned, such an important place, there should be a lot of garrisons around. At that time, everywhere Zhao Gou went, the military generals of the civil and military generals, the soldiers and the accompanying gentry and ordinary people, there were hundreds of thousands of people, and the supply was huge, and the people were disturbed deeply. Chang'an has been in line for a long time, but the emperor has never built a large number of civil works to build a palace, which is just that, the garrison near Chang'an from the beginning of more than 100,000 people, gradually shrunk to less than 10,000 people, after the invasion of the Jin soldiers last year, the government hall and the cardinal government insisted on the opinion, intent on setting up an army in Chang'an, plus the inner class direct guard, there are more than 30,000 people to guard the army. As for the rest of the pomp and circumstance, there has never been one.

Yue Fei heard that all the supplies in Chang'an were as usual, but he always thought that there was an exaggerated whitewash, and when he went to the vicinity of the city, the gray-black city wall not far away could be seen, and the pedestrians and people were sparse as usual, and the peasants harvested the crops as before. I felt a lot of emotion in my heart, and I felt that Zhao Huan was far beyond Zhao Gou.

He is the edict to the line of the aspect of the festival, with the inspection of the school of the major security, the pro-army infantry are the commander of the envoy and the title of the envoy of the festival, when it comes to the official rank, has been to the second grade, as far as the military attache is already the highest, when the group arrived near the city gate. The head of the city guard looked at the documents, but he was in awe, flew a military salute to Yue, and then said with a smile: "The marshal must be going to enter the palace immediately to ask for a meeting, if the road is not familiar, the general can send someone to guide the way." ”

In fact, Yue Fei was in a hurry, according to common sense, a senior official like him needed to have a full-time official to greet him and arrange many matters, he arrived today, and the relevant personnel in the city did not expect it. But no one paid any attention.

He groaned slightly. He shook his head and smiled: "Your Majesty has arrangements for everything, how can I take the liberty to ask for a meeting, it is better to go to the cardinal house first." After meeting with all the ministers, I will talk about other things. ”

"What the marshal said is that the last general wants to be left."

Yue Fei's reputation at this time has far surpassed that of his peers, although the soldiers guarding the door are from the Western military system, they are also blue-eyed and polite to him. Because he knew that Yue Fei and the others were not familiar with the road, the officer guarding the gate sent a few scattered men to follow, rode forward, and led Yue Fei all the way outside the cardinal, and did not want to reward them, and after everyone gave a military salute. He just said goodbye and left.

After this incident, Yue Fei had a good impression of the Chang'an garrison, and inquired about Yao Pingzhong, who praised the Japanese army's local control, and said with a smile: "Strange road to watch all the way, the Chang'an garrison is well-trained, and it has the posture of a soldier between advance and retreat, but it is the commander of Yao Dianshuai, which is not surprising." ”

It is rare for him to boast, but Yao Pingzhong is a senior in the army. When Yue Fei did not join the army, Yao Pingzhong was already the commander of the first army, and in the second year of Jingkang, Yao Pingzhong was actually the deputy commander of the Qinwang Song army.

The group was gossiping, and at the same time sent someone to the cardinal house to sign up for a meeting, everyone looked coldly, only to feel that the courtyard of the cardinal courtyard was not deep, the green bricks, green tiles and green trees were withered, and the extremely ordinary three-entry courtyard pattern, if it were not for the fact that there were many forbidden army soldiers holding spears and guarding them, it really could not be seen that it was the pivotal place to decide the important affairs of the country and the military.

After a cup of tea, he saw a tall yellow-robed official come out with a sergeant who had just entered the room, and smiled at Yue Fei from afar: "This must be Yue Shuai, the next official Yu Yunwen, I have met Yue Shuai a few times in Hangzhou, I don't know if you remember?" ”

Yu Yunwen greeted him and strode forward, he was almost two meters tall, he was like a giant when he was alive, and within a few steps, he had already arrived at Yue Fei's side.

Yue Fei's figure is not short, and he has to raise his head to speak in front of Yu Yunwen, he knows that Yu Yunwen has great military talent and is a literati, so he has a lot less scruples than military ministers in speaking and doing things, and it is easier to gain the trust of the government hall and the privy government, and the most important thing is that the emperor will not be afraid of it, and he can rely on him as a confidant. Since Jingkang three years later, Yu Yunwen has experienced the Hangzhou Miao Liu Mutiny, Liu Guangshi's rebellion, and the Jin soldiers' sneak attack on Chang'an. In addition, he was ordered to send an envoy to the Western Xia, and he changed the chaos with his eloquence, saying that the Xia people withdrew from the army, and still remained neutral outside the Song and Jin wars, and all kinds of stories were passed on to the people, and the story of the white horse entering the summer camp was actually passed down as a story, with Yu Yunwen in his twenties, how could he not be surprised and admired.

And when this person was in his early twenties, he was already a privy secretary for signing, which was even more unprecedented in the Song Dynasty, and it also showed the status of this person in the emperor's heart.

He is not a person who flatters the horse, but he has always admired Yu Yunwen, a white-clothed showman, for having such a military talent, seeing the other party smiling and groaning, as soon as they met, he mentioned the incident in Hangzhou back then, obviously clinging to the friendship of the year, and naturally he couldn't overdo it, so he immediately looked up and smiled: "If it wasn't for Lord Yu that day, I wouldn't be able to get it easily." ”

Yu Yunwen took Yue Fei's hand, and while leading Yue Fei to the inner circle of the cardinal, he laughed, shook his head and said: "The lower officials dare not take this seriously, the situation that day, the lower officials also feel that they can't hold on, if it weren't for the arrival of the big handsome, I am afraid that the development of things will be bad, and I still have a cold sweat when I think about it so far." ”

The two of you come and go, and they both know that each other is a rare heroic character, although there is a lot of age difference, but they only feel like old friends at first sight.

When he was in Hangzhou that day, Yu Yunwen wanted to hide his deeds, although he had seen Yue Fei with his class, he didn't hum, which made people unable to figure out his depths. At this time, he was interested in accepting, but he was bold and generous, and his witty words were full of witty words, and when the guests and hosts sat down, the servants had finished serving tea, and everyone was chatting about things, Yue Fei was talking to him very happily, and he couldn't remember what was going on for a while.

Yu Yunwen himself intercepted the words, smiled at Yue Fei and said: "It's a bit unfortunate that the big handsome is here, Zhang Shuxiang is still in Tongguan and has not returned, and Zhao Shuxiang has already entered the palace, accompanied His Majesty to worship his ancestors, and performed a temple ceremony. ”

Seeing Yue Fei's disappointed expression, Yu Yunwen smiled again: "The lower official has already sent someone to the palace to report, Your Majesty will definitely meet if he has some free time." ”

Yue Fei also smiled: "I'm not in a hurry at this moment, I just want to see Your Majesty earlier and ask for some truth." Before I came, I heard that Wan Yanchang and Zongfu of the Jin Kingdom had the upper hand, and the Emperor Taishang was expected to be welcomed back. ”

He didn't ask what he said, if it was really the Jin country's intention to negotiate peace, how much territory to return, how to comfort the dead and wounded soldiers, how the Jin people could guarantee that they would never invade again, and so on, all of which were preoccupied with him, making him feel extremely depressed and uncomfortable. From the perspective of a military general, it is really unwilling to negotiate peace in the situation where the situation of the other side finally prevails.

It's just that at this time, if he doesn't agree with the peace, and there is a suspicion that he doesn't care about the life and death of the emperor, he is very embarrassed and can't speak.

Of course, Yu Yunwen knew his thoughts, and after a little silence, he replied generally: "The marshal is so anxious, and the subordinate officials will not hide it. In fact, His Majesty has already made a decision, and he will use this time to recuperate first, train more soldiers, and build more elite armor and strong soldiers. ”

Speaking of this, he grinned toothily and said, "Calculate it, we will not suffer." The imperial court and the Jin people have been fighting for many years, although our family has a solid foundation, but we have not been able to free up our hands to deal with political affairs, and the burden of the people and peasants is getting heavier and heavier. Fortunately, the Jin people can't bear it, and many people are bent on negotiating peace, so they have a lot of background? Are we going to get back quickly? In this way, it is really digging your own grave! ”

When he spoke, his bearing was calm, and his words were thoughtful and thoughtful, and everyone saw clearly that although this person was tall, his appearance was delicate and handsome, and he had a melancholy scholarly anger of a literati, and when he spoke, he had an indescribable confidence and decisiveness, which made people happy and praised him, and did not doubt his judgment.

Yue Fei was full of excitement when he heard this, patted his hand lightly in front of his case, and said with a smile: "As a courtier, I am only afraid that Your Majesty will hesitate in your heart, if Your Majesty is really so decisive, then what else do we have to say?"

Fight to the death, you must do your best to recover your homeland before you can collect the army! ”

Yu Yunwen intercepted: "Not only that, but we also have to smash the Yellow Dragon to destroy this dynasty food, and we can't let Jin Guo be on the side of the couch like Da Liao all the time, and after a hundred years, I don't know what kind of clown will come out, which is very troublesome." Recapture Youyan and pacify Liaodong, this is His Majesty's charter. ”

Seeing that Yue Fei was about to get up and answer, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "Don't be like this, Dashuai, it's just our private gossip." ”

smiled again: "This time, the marshal came to report on his work, but it was also a coincidence." His Majesty is about to make a queen, and the handsome man happened to be here to watch the ceremony. ”

Although Yue Fei has never been in the book, he also agrees with the emperor's argument that he needs to be established and then canonized as a prince. ”
