Thinking of this unprecedented change, Li Gang was also extremely excited. Looking at Yue Fei, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If the whole country is doing well, within a year, the government revenue will not decrease, and the available places will increase." Adhering to the emperor's mandate, the government hall plans roads, bridges, and water conservancy affairs, and can be held once the hands are sufficient. Within five years, if you look at the world again, it will be a new situation. If the court has money and is used to manage the people, the world will become richer, and if there is no need to increase taxes, the revenue will increase repeatedly, the flowing water will not be corrupted, and the open source will increase profits, which is exactly the reason. ”

Yue Fei was full of thoughts about the increase in military spending, the imperial court's military expenditure increasing year by year, there were many things that he didn't dare to do before, and he could start to implement them calmly, and he was happy in his heart, but he replied to Li Gang: "Emperor Qin and Han Wu, do his best to build a straight road, open up southern Xinjiang, and destroy the Huns. ”

"That's near." Li Gang nodded yes, but he no longer continued to discuss with Yue Fei on this topic, it is still taboo for military generals to interfere in politics, this point has not changed, if Yue Fei is not chatting with him in his private residence, he doesn't need to talk about it.

Immediately changed the topic, and said with a smile to Yue Fei: "The general has a lot of military affairs, and the big battalion stationed in Xiangyang stretches all over the place. With the busy body of the general, arriving here today will never be as simple as visiting the old man. ”

"That's what Xianggong said."

Li Gang was so direct, Yue Fei also smiled and replied, "The last general's mind is not as expected. The training has been effective, the food, grass, medicine, armor and equipment have been prepared, even to look at the overall situation, it seems that there is no time to start, the last general hesitated, and he didn't know what His Majesty and the princes of the privy government thought, so he came to find a peace chapter. Let's find out if the news is true. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, Li Gang also liked Yue Fei's honesty, although he was a civil servant, his temper has always been straightforward, he rarely had taboos, and he didn't like intrigue, so the ups and downs of the sea rarely happened when he was really relied on. Even if he had been in Jingxi for many years, he had acted decisively and arbitrarily, and if it weren't for Zhao Huan's deep knowledge of him, he would not have been allowed to continue to serve as the military affairs of Pingzhang.

However, Zhao Huan let him sit in the local government and did not let this resolute and strict minister stay in the central government, which was also the reason why he was afraid that Li Gang's authority was too great and it was easy to be restricted.

But Li Gang smiled again: "What you said is good." Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. ”

Yue Fei put away the smile on his face, bowed his face and said, "Please teach the minister." ”

"Jin Bing suffered a loss in Tongguan. Lost Taiyuan. The two generals Han and Yang entered Shandong again this spring, and the puppet Qi could not resist, and the Jin soldiers were hastily mobilized. After the king retreated, the Jin soldiers could not chase after him. Exhaustion is already evident. Today, the elite soldiers and horses stationed in Xiangyang, there are all talented people in the Jinren, how can they not see it? Because the danger of Taiyuan is greater, he ignores Xiangyang, and only orders the pseudo-Qi general Li Cheng to command the troops to Wan and Luo to defend the land. The elite of the Jin soldiers gathered in Hebei, sharpened their knives against Taiyuan, and Taiyuan was lost. The momentum of war and defense is easy, and there are two reasons why it has not been started so far, one is that the golden people are not resistant to heat in summer, and the war horses have not yet reached the best season. Second, the Jin people are fighting and the two factions are also fighting. ”

A smile appeared on Li Gang's face, and he continued to talk eloquently, explaining to Yue Fei in detail.

The war and dispute between the Jin State have long existed, but it has always been that the main battle faction is strong and the main peace faction is weak.

Because the Jin people have an absolute advantage in force, they naturally disdain to beg for peace if they can solve things by force. And now judging from various news, the nobles of the Jin State in Shangjing have long been white-hot because of the war and the struggle between the two factions, and Zong Fu, who has always been the main battle, has become the new leader of the main and faction, Zong Han is dying of old age, ignoring political affairs, and Yan Chang, Zong Pan and others have always been the main peace, after getting the land of Liao, they indulged in wealth and nobility, and they have long ceased to be enterprising. Therefore, now calculated, only the sixth son of Taizu is the real main battle, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, he was only a rising star of 10,000 households, and even the deputy marshal of the capital did not catch it, the newly sealed right deputy marshal, Shen Wang Wanyan Zongbi.

And what made the upper echelons of the Jin State even more chaotic was that the lord of the country, Wanyan Wu Qimai, was seriously ill. In the past few years, the war in the Jin Kingdom has not gone well, Wu Qimai's plan to set up his son as the prince has failed, everything is not going well, and he can't suppress many sons and nephews, and his mind is not disturbed by state affairs, and the living habits of the Jurchens in the country are still between barbarism and civilization, and the diet is mainly meat, which is not beneficial to health.

In this way, the struggle between the upper echelons of the Jin State also involves the struggle for imperial power, and the traces are more complicated, not only the Song Dynasty is not clear about the truth and reality, but the upper nobles of the Jin State, many generals who command the army, some participate in it, and some are afraid of affecting themselves, shut up and do not talk about political affairs, just wait for the situation to be settled, and then pledge allegiance to the new lord.

When Li Gang said this, Yue Fei already fully understood. The situation is so complicated and complicated, the original battle plan was to wait for the enemy to move first and then move, and the politics of the Jin State are like this, and the overall situation is unfavorable, and it is absolutely impossible to expect the Jin soldiers to move first.

And what Li Gang did not say explicitly is that the Song Dynasty's envoy and privy deputy envoy Han Xiao is still in Beijing, although Han Xiao stomach does not have the mission of peace, but the place is an important mission to visit the emperor Zhao Ji, the Jin people have the upper hand, then Zhao Ji and many clans can be released, and if the main battle faction wins, then Song Jin will go to war again, and welcome back the emperor in the face of the overall situation of the country's life and death, it is not enough.

Although the words were not specified, Yue Fei had fully understood in his heart that there was no movement from the emperor to the cardinal to Li Gang, but it was because he was afraid of the emperor.

If the Jin people come to attack, they will naturally fight. And when this was delicate, the Song soldiers took the initiative to attack, no matter how smooth the situation was, the emperor could not afford to ignore his father's safety.

He sighed in his heart, painfully losing the fighter, but he had no resistance to welcoming back the emperor. In the hearts of pure warriors like Yue Fei, the capture of Emperor Taishang is still the greatest shame for soldiers, and the duty of the army is to protect the family and defend the country, and the word "country" originally included the emperor.

After knowing this, Yue Fei became more relaxed. Since the situation is scorching, it is better to wait and see. Anyway, soldiers are not expensive, and it is good to have more time to come out for training.

He chatted with Li Gang a few more words, knowing that although Li Gang was in his private residence, he was actually entangled in official business all the time, and seeing that there was a group of officials in green or yellow robes waiting in the outer room, he was inconvenient to stay for a long time, and he glanced at Yue Yun, the father and son stood up and smiled at Li Gang: "Today has been stirring up the husband for a long time, the hour is not early, and the father and son will retire." ”

"Okay." Li Gang was not in vain, he also stood up, and said with a smile: "I am like a busy city here every day, and if I really have tea and talk with three or five friends, I can't do it." After waiting for nothing in the world, I will have a good time with the general when the time comes. ”

Yue Fei looked at this person at home, but he only bowed down and withdrew.

After exiting the door, the rest of the officials were already impatient, and they didn't wait for Li Gang to call in, they had already rushed in.

Yue Fei hadn't gone far yet, there was already a lot of noise inside, Yue Fei walked a few steps in a muffled voice, and then turned his head to Yue Yun and said: "It's a good thing that the ministers are like a city, and they are in a high position, but they are also bad, and I can't stand such a day for a day." ”

In addition to greeting Li Gang, Yue Yun didn't dare to interject anymore, he had already been stuffy, and at this time he first took a breath of air, and said with a smile: "My son can't stand it, it's better to be a general, every knife and shot, and the strategy and calculation are only aimed at the enemy, so that my own people come to the door every day to make trouble, and I can't beat or scold, so I really have a headache." ”

Yue Fei shook his head and smiled, and did not answer his son's words, the father and son went out of the back garden, still going out through the side door, waiting outside for the local soldiers to come up to greet them, and when the two got on the horse, they went out in clusters and went to the camp outside the city.

After that, Yue Fei took the whole army and fought day and night, and at the same time paid close attention to the news in the north, and after more than ten days, he received the edict of Chang'an, and the emperor ordered him to rush to the line to report on his work.

In this way, it is obvious that there will be no more military action for a while and a half, except for the righteous army in the Taihang area is still in contact with the Jin soldiers, all parts of the country have been peaceful for more than half a year, and the flags on both sides have died down.

Yue Fei received the edict and knew in his heart that this was an indication that the emperor would rely more on himself, but he always felt a little uneasy.

When Jingkang was in his second year, he was just an ordinary school, how could he have the opportunity to witness Tianyan. In the following years, he repeatedly set up a special position, Zhao Gou believed in him, and had achieved the position of the pacification envoy, if it were not for Miao Liu's mutiny, Liu Guangshi brazenly raised troops, Yue Fei finally at the most critical juncture, for the sake of the overall situation, he did not hesitate to turn his back on Zhao Gou, obeyed Zhao Huan's edict, and raised troops to extinguish Liu Guangshi's rebellion.

Of course, he didn't know that the reason why Zhao Huan used him was because he knew him too well. And meditating late at night, on the contrary, he felt that his deeds were quite disgraceful, and Zhao Gou lost his footing and drowned, and anyone with a discerning eye knew who gave the order, which also made him very wary of Zhao Huan, and even a little dissatisfied.

He can only hide these things in his heart, usually don't say it, even if he thinks about it in private, he quickly turns his mind around and doesn't dare to think about it. The general trend of the world is like this, Zhao Huan's performance has convinced the hearts of all civil and military officials and the people, and even he himself clearly understands that Zhao Huan, no matter what he is wrong with, is also the most wise, decisive and trustworthy monarch of the current Great Song Dynasty.

A few days after receiving the edict, Yue Fei finally handed over the military affairs at hand, and the camp was full of his cronies and generals, plus Counselor Li Ruoxu was promoted, and Li Gang was in Xiangyang City not far away, everything could be assured. On the 20th of August, Yue Fei took Yue Yun and Wang De and others, together with hundreds of personal soldiers, with some local gifts, and the group got up early in the morning, except for a few big carts, all rode on the road, so as to arrive in Chang'an as soon as possible.
