"Don't talk about defending the city, let's talk about sending troops first, I am a strong soldier in the six towns of Beiyang, but the golden soldiers in Hebei are not inferior to us." Zhang Xian frowned and said, "Take the fastest road, from Zhending, to Taihang, you must have just crossed the Hutuo River and was blocked." ”

"As soon as the six towns come out, the Hebei Jin soldiers will definitely invade the nest and come out, there is an interception in front and a sneak attack in the back, I am afraid that our army will be trapped in Hebei."

"Then it won't be saved?"

Zhi Yuelan was also asking this question in her heart, but she remained silent and watched how Zhang Xian, the marching horse, would deal with it.

Zhang Xian said: "What kind of system is it to be so noisy and shouting, Chinese officers, take the map and hang it." ”

Zheyuelan had seen the map that Hu Yangeng had brought with her, and she was not surprised to see a large map of Hedong in Hebei. It's just that this map is drawn with a brush, the paper is large, and there are some freehand brushwork, which is far less fine than the map around Hu Yangeng.

"From Zhending to Jingcheng?" Bulu Gu Leping shouted, "It's not impossible, just take the waterway and pass through the Hutuo River." ”

The Hutuo River traverses Hebei, passes through the Taihang Mountain, and reaches the foot of Wutai Mountain, which is not impossible with the strength of the red scarf water.

"Since you have to take the waterway," Qiu Muling Zhonglian muttered, "why not take the Yellow River." The water is dry in early spring, and there are some places in the Hutuo River that I am afraid that the boat will not be able to walk. ”

"The eldest brother went to Hedong, that is, to take the Yellow River, but I heard that in Shaanzhou, the chieftain of Wanyan Lou is besieging Li Yanxian, and my army is passing by, and we must not hide it from the old thief."

"If the old thief doesn't come, if he dares to come, he will be stewed."

"That's Wanyan Liduo, Wanyan Wushu, Wanyan Tart, Wanyanpu Land Rover, Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Sticky Han, Wanyan Yinshu, all of them have been provoked by you, and our red scarves have become the target of everyone."

"I'm afraid of where he came from."

The crowd was noisy and shouting, each expressing his own opinion. Zhang Xian has been silent, and Zhi Yuelan thought to herself: "Zhang Xian is young after all, he can't suppress the situation, and he has no dignity as a superior official. ”

At this time, a sharp sound of "pop" was suddenly heard, and Zhang Xian was shocked on the head, and everyone quieted down. Zhang Xiandao: "The ideas of the ranking generals are not without merit, and this department will formulate a marching strategy, and ask all departments to follow it." ”

The generals all stood up and clenched their fists to receive their orders.

Seeing this, Zhi Yuelan couldn't help it, she said: "Alas, the route has not been decided yet, and I haven't said how many troops will be sent, and there is no place for food, grass and ordnance, so why is the meeting going to be disbanded?" ”，

Zhang Xian stood up: "Sister-in-law...... Three ladies, military affairs should not be talked to outsiders. But the status of the three ladies is not ordinary, Zhang Xian said to the three ladies. My red scarf military affairs, combat training and teaching, clothing, food and lodging, decided to march to the military division, and all departments acted according to orders. Fang Xian had no clue, so he summoned the generals to discuss. ”

"Sima Zhang, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just a matter of the battle formation, what should you do if you think about it wrong, wouldn't you send the army to the tiger's mouth."

"Three ladies, Xuan Shuai once said, you must believe in professional staff officers."

Zhang Xian no longer paid attention to Zhi Yuelan and announced the dismissal of the meeting.

Zhi Yuelan was angry in her heart, and she really wanted to take out the seal letter of the Xuanfu envoy and let Zhang Xian take a look. But after thinking about it, by doing this, he was relying on Hu Yangeng's power to oppress people, and others would definitely not accept it. Let's see how Zhang Xian's strategy is.

It is now the early spring of the fifth year of Jianyan, and after the regent Zhao Kuo boarded the ship from Mingzhou and escaped, there has been no news.

Yue Fei took nearly 10,000 soldiers and their families to wander in the land of the great enemy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he had the heart to resist the enemy, but he could not provide the minimum food and clothing for the native soldiers to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

Forced by hunger and cold, some soldiers even went out to loot in violation of orders. Li Yin, a small official, suggested to Yue Fei to move to Yixing County, Changzhou. When Qian Chen and others heard of Yue Fei's prestige, they also specially moved a letter to Yue Fei, welcoming him to lead the army to protect the county border, and said that the county's grain reserves were enough to feed 10,000 soldiers for ten years.

Yixing County is bordered by Taihu Lake in the east, Changzhou in the north, and Jiankang Mansion in the west.

In February, Yue Fei commanded the army into Yixing County and set up the barracks in Zhangchu Town, southwest of the county.

After Guo Ji, the commander of the Yuanjiang and Huai Xuanfu Divisions, became a bandit, he also entrenched in Yixing County. Yue Fei sent someone to send a letter, comforted him with kind words, and asked him to fight against Jin together. Guo Ji hurriedly took a hundred ships and fled with a load of belongings. After Yue Fei heard the news, he ordered Wang Gui and Fu Qing to lead 2,000 men in pursuit, capturing almost all of Guo Ji's men and ships.

Wang Gui is a native of Tangyin County. Fu Qing was born in Weizhou kiln, he was originally a general of Liu Guangshi, and followed Yue Fei after the Battle of Majiadu. Both of them are brave generals who can fight and become Yue Fei's right and left hands. After Hu Cheng was killed, the commander Pang Rong led the remnants to defect to Guo Ji, and at this time he also took the opportunity to return to Shun Yue Fei.

In Yixing County, there are still three bandits. Ma Gao and Lin Ju each had several thousand people, and Yue Fei sent a defense to persuade them to surrender, which was successful. Another bandit, whose leader was Zhang Weiwu, refused to surrender. Yue Fei rode into his lair alone, and while Zhang was stunned, he beheaded him to death and collected all his men.

In the years of internal and external troubles, the lives and property of the broad masses of the people are in danger. Actually stationed in a different army, no offense against the folk Qiu, this can not but make the people of Yixing overjoyed, praise each other, people in simple language to praise Yue Fei, said:

"It's easy for my parents to give birth to me, but it's hard for me to protect my public."

Even many outsiders rushed to take refuge in Yixing County. According to the grand etiquette of ancient China, the people of Yixing funded the construction of a shrine for Yue Fei to express everyone's gratitude. In ancient times, ancestral temples were used to honor sages, ancestors, and even gods and ghosts, and built ancestral halls for the living, which was a special case.

Zhixian Qian Chen's sketch ancestral hall said, "The feelings of the people, still not coming, all want to image at home, and the young old morning and dusk admiration, such as the province has been determined", so the portrait of Yue Fei "is engraved in the stone, and it is widely spread". The local people simply worshipped Yue Fei as a god.

Yue Fei has always adopted a correct policy in dealing with the Jin people in Hebei, Hedong and other places, treating them as his own flesh and blood compatriots, not discriminating against them, not treating them with kindness, and doing his best to fight for them. As a result, the reputation of "Grandpa Yue" spread far and wide, and thousands of signatories rushed to surrender.

In the countercurrent of demotion and defeat, Yue Fei stood out, and he developed and strengthened his team with the belief of victory, tenacious perseverance and appropriate measures. This 27- or 8-year-old young commander began to serve as the main general, and he shaped a strong anti-gold force according to his own intentions and style. The Yuejia army was not a large army at that time, and it was powerless to turn the tide; But on the anti-gold battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River, it is worthy of being the mainstay of the mainstream.

It was in this situation that Yue Fei received the news that Sanhe Xuanfu made Hu Yangeng lead his army to advance lightly, break into Hedong, and be besieged in Pingyang.
