The dust settled on the Taiyuan battlefield, Han Shizhong broke the puppet Qi Du Chong in Haizhou, beheaded thousands of captured more than 30,000 enemies, Du Chong only spared, fled in embarrassment, Han Shizhong took the opportunity to recover Chuzhou, Haizhou, Xuzhou, the lost land of the Tianchang army lost in the three years of Jianyan, has been fully recovered, and the soldiers pointed at the original Jingdong Road, threatening the entire puppet Qi ruling center.

In the spring and April of the sixth year of Jiankang, the Hujing and Xiangtan Prefectures asked Yue Fei to adopt the strategy of encircling on all sides and advancing step by step, and with the strong support of Li Gang, the military and state affairs of Pingzhang, the trouble of Dongting Lake Yangmo, which had to be solved by five years' efforts, was fully realized in less than two years.

This news and Taiyuan victory of the military report one after another, soon after the interval were sent to Chang'an, Zhao Huan read Yue Fei to play the book, but see the book cloud: "Punish the head against Yang, recruit Huang Zuo, Zhou Lun to surrender more than 200,000 thieves, Huxiang Xiping, more than 1,000 thieves and boats, since then Jinghu has no worries." ”

Yang Mo is a handsome person, hundreds of thousands of people after the incident, in the name of resisting gold, receiving the prestige of Zhong Xiang, the implementation of the township community in the territory, taking into account the soldiers and farmers, land and water warfare, along the Dongting Lake and separating, dozens of counties in Jinghu fell into his hands, and the back of the big lake, all good at water warfare, at the beginning of the incident, the Song army did not have a water division, and Yang Mo's department was mobile and flexible, land warfare was into the lake, and water attack landed on the shore, so that the absolute superiority of the Song soldiers had nothing to do, and there was almost no way to start. If it weren't for Zhao Huan's deep knowledge that Jinghu was important, and Yang Mo's rule was ruled by several natural disasters due to continuous wars, and several natural disasters broke out one after another, and people died of disease and starvation in large areas one after another, making the soldiers have no heart to fight, and the generals under his command have surrendered one after another, it is impossible to destroy them so easily.

After the elimination of Yang Mo's secession, Jingxiang, the land of the four wars, was finally able to free up his hands, directly threaten Tang and Deng Zhuzhou, enter Luoyang, Kaifeng, and retreat along the river to hold on without worries, although it was a civil war, and it was the Han peasants who revolted that were exterminated, and its strategic significance. Later generations have commented that it is not under the victory of Zhu Xianzhen, and its importance can be seen from this.

Zhao Huan knew this very well, and those who knew the soldiers in the DPRK and China also knew the stakes involved, Yue Fei played a sparse performance, and the government and the opposition were jubilant, and the first thing that came to mind was not to reward the meritorious soldiers, but to deal with the aftermath afterwards.

Shilling Yue Fei dismissed the remnants of the rebels, and more than 27,000 households were resettled on the spot. Acres of seed were given to the cattle to be exempted from taxes for three years, and officials were dispatched by the government to pacify them on the spot, so that the states could recover in a short time.

Select strong warriors, first enrich the forbidden army stationed in Zhuzhou, and then organize the box army, the old and weak and still willing to serve, compiled into the post station, in order to lead the country. Don't make trouble.

And the most eye-catching. It is the plan of Zhao Kai to go up and soothe, please protect the township community organization in the original Lianghu area.

This township community is actually invented by Zhong Xiang, with five households as a society. Assist each other in farming, the people who join the society first pay a certain share of money and grain, and then watch and help each other, the poor, sick and poor people in the community all contribute to each other, to the autumn harvest and spring ploughing, then the households in the community work together to help each other, so that the silkworms in the territory are prosperous, and the property is abundant.

Before Zhong Xiang raised his army, the Lianghu Lands were one of the richest places in the Song Dynasty. In particular, the production of grain and silk products is still abundant, and the entire Song Dynasty relies heavily on the two lakes for financial income and military expenses.

At this time, the war stopped, and many officials who defended the land deeply hated the behavior of non-governmental organizations and associations, and they must strictly prohibit it. As soon as Zhao Kai played the sparse, the emperor immediately allowed it, which was obviously after the discussion of the monarch and the ministers, and the emperor allowed it by Zhao Kai, and the rest of the prime ministers in the political hall had nothing else to say, but the officials at all levels were dumbfounded, not knowing what the court thought.

As long as the peasants are not deprived of their land and assets, and the peasants are united in one place, and the government provides more support and control, such cooperatives will only benefit and do not harm, and there is no need to worry about the peasants rebelling. Zhao Huan at the beginning of the Zhong Xiang incident, he intended to carry forward the township community and promote the whole country, but he was unable to start due to frequent wars.

By May of the sixth year of Jingkang, Han Xiao's stomach arrived in Shangjing, and the momentum of the Song army's attack gradually slowed down in the spring and summer. The Jin people mostly attacked when the horses were fat in the autumn, and the Song army defended, which was called "autumn defense," and the Song army attacked, most of them were in the spring when the war horses were the thinnest, and around the middle of summer, no matter the people and horses were difficult to withstand the scorching heat, it was the time for the two countries to stop fighting and recuperate.

At this time, Yue Fei received an order from the privy government to march into Tunxiangyang in order to map the Central Plains.

After the end of the war of the two lakes, Yue Fei's headquarters was originally 50,000 soldiers, after the incorporation of Yang Mo's remnants, the selection of strong generals and strong soldiers enlisted, the number has been expanded to more than 90,000, it is really a strong army, all the Song army departments, only Han Shizhong can be compared, the emperor gave him the post of inspector Shaobao, Qingyuan Army Festival Envoy, and ordered as the head of the Xiangyang march, which is a legitimate command of more than 20 armies and more than 100 deputy generals. Coupled with the clear words of the edict, he made Xu Tu Central Plains, which made Yue Fei and many generals under his command feel excited.

The situation was very good, and Yue Fei was also extremely excited in his heart. He is in his early thirties this year, and in a normal time, not to mention the moderation, it is rare to be a deputy general. At this time, he added officials to inspect the school and major security, held the festival to pacify the party, commanded nearly 100,000 troops, and was the head of the Song army, which showed the trust of the emperor and the cardinal. His own official fortune is like this, and the national fortune is also thriving, the southern expedition to the north and the various units are all smooth, and the fiasco and shame between the second year of Jingkang and the third year of Jianyan have gradually left people's hearts.

As soon as he thought that he could raise some troops to recover the Central Plains, and even go straight to the north in the future, conquering the barbarians between the icy and snowy white mountains and black waters, Yue Fei was in a mood of excitement and joy.

In fact, Zhao Huan also took a fancy to him, this person's loyalty is not suspicious, and his ability is outstanding, among the many marshals and generals of the same era, no one is Yue Fei's opponent at all, as long as such a general is properly beaten, do not let him interfere in politics indiscriminately, and then do not make many literati to participate in the enrichment of his shogunate, and the supply of grain and grass is subject to the central court center, so that this person to lead the army to fight with the Jin people, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Most of Yue Fei's troops were originally stationed in various parts of Tanzhou, and after receiving the edict, they immediately set off. After nearly two months of pacification, the situation in the two lakes is very good, after the spring ploughing, the people are not short of food and clothing, and there are seeds that can be harvested in the field, plus the township community is not abandoned, but several states and counties have been abolished, a large number of state and county officials have been abolished, and the transfer of criminal taxes and taxes has been established, directly under the central government, the exploitation and oppression of the people has been completely stopped, the wounds of the war in the territory have quickly calmed down, and when Yue Fei takes over the order, the country and the people in the territory are safe, and there is no need to station a large army anymore.

In this way, the start of the march will move quickly, Yue Fei's department now has a total of more than 90,000 people from the three armies, all of them set off together for fear that the military camp near Xiangyang will not be properly arranged, and nearly 100,000 people are mighty, and the supply pressure along the way is not small, there is no war now, Yue Fei calculated it, and ordered his eldest son Yue Yun to lead the Beiwei army to set off in advance, and after arriving in Xiangyang, everything was prepared properly.

Yue Fei's department is divided into three armies according to the establishment of the imperial court, and he himself in order to command Ruyi, and specially gifted the Ming Prince's Mansion, especially add more military numbers, in addition to the front, middle and rear three armies for the imperial court military number of the regular all, there are also back sense, step white, wandering, left, right, Xuanfeng, Shengjie, break the enemy, water army, a total of 12 army numbers. Yue Fei led the Chinese army by himself, and Xu Qing, Yao Zheng, Fu Xuan, Fu Qing, Kou Cheng, Li Dao, Wang Jing and others each served as commanders and led an army. After Beiwei went first, the front army stepped on Bai and Youyi, and Yue Fei and the Chinese army were separated by two days, and then they set off, looking in the direction of Xiangyang.

Although he was afraid of disturbing the people with the army, in fact, after hearing that Yue Fei's headquarters had moved, the people near the two lakes were reluctant, and many people put down their farm work and rushed to both sides of the road to see them off.

Yue Fei is simple and comfortable by nature, he doesn't like gold, silver and money, not only Zhang Jun and other generals are not as good as him, even Han Shizhong is far inferior, among the four generals in Zhongxing, only he is not greedy for money and not lustful, and the army under his command is also constrained by military discipline, and there is a strict order not to demolish the house if he freezes to death, although it is inevitable to use knives and guns when fighting, but he rarely hurts the people. And after the war, there was no crime in the autumn, not only was it much stronger than ordinary officers and soldiers, but Yang Modi's righteous army was known as rich and poor, and its military discipline was far inferior to Yue Fei's department. In addition, Yue Fei's great military exploits, Lian Ke strong enemy, strong army, between the two lakes, has been passed on by the people, this invincible male division will be crowned with the reputation of "Yue's Army" in later generations.

Yue Fei's headquarters set out in late April, and tried his best to hurry on the road, and when he arrived in Xiangyang, it was already the middle of May of the sixth year of Jingkang, because tens of thousands of people had already been arranged, and as soon as the army arrived, they were camped and settled, everything was in order and not chaotic, and after a day, 50,000 or 60,000 people had already settled around the city of Xiangyang.

Yue Yun, Xu Gui and others joined forces to greet the Chinese army, ran forward and settled the sergeants, ordered people to clean up the camp tents of the Chinese army's father, and ordered the first to arrange meals for the armies, so that the soldiers and soldiers of the armies who had just arrived were busy from early morning to evening, tired and sore, and only felt that it was not as tiring as to rush into battle.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yue Fei went to the city to visit Li Gang and had not yet returned, Yue Yun knew his father's habits, so he only made a few light side dishes, and it was normal to eat steamed buns, but there were a few jars of good wine.

This is not wartime, Yue Fei likes to drink good wine, and after he comes back, he must drink a few glasses before he can rest in peace.

My father didn't come back, and he didn't dare to use wine and dinner first, but he called a few cavalry sergeants, took a wooden trainer gun to find a dirt slope, and rushed back and forth in heavy armor.

When it was time to hold the lamp, Yue Yun was waiting anxiously, and there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the camp, until the gate of the camp, he was in good spirits, and smiled at the group of soldiers who were in a daze together: "Father is back, go out with me to greet him." ”
