Chapter 146: Jing Zhong Yue Fei
The results of the battle of Changshui have already been reported, and not long after Yue flew to Deyingchang, there were several forbidden army officers from the front of the palace, with a small team of forbidden army soldiers, escorting a privy staff officer, to convey the edict in front of the army.
If it is usual, the edict back and forth is a black card transmission, it will take a while, now Yue Fei led the army in the Central Plains, just take a detour to Dehuang Pass, you can send it directly to Chang'an, the distance is shortened by the boss, and the time is naturally saved.
When the edict arrived in the army, Yue Fei did not dare to slack off, and immediately beat the drum to pass the general, ordering the deputy general and above to go to the camp of the army to meet the edict together.
The privy staff officer who passed the edict, no one knows, only knows that he was originally a deputy general of the Western Army, because he likes to read military books carefully, and the new Privy Staff Department was established the year before last, so he was transferred in.
Seeing that the generals in the army arrived, the edict first smiled at Yue Fei, and then spread out the paper to read, he spoke in a thick Guan Shaanxi dialect, Yue Fei was mostly from the Central Plains or southerners, and he couldn't hear it clearly, only vaguely listened to the edict: "Qing Xue is strategic, move the opportunity, add troops between Wan and Ye, and seize the danger of loosening the cupboard." still captured the horses, ate the grain, and heard the merits of the three victories; The courage of 10,000 people. A banner with a reward and four silver guns. When everyone heard this, they were all in one place. Although Yue Fei defeated this time was not a Jin soldier, he also attacked the city and plundered the land, recovered dozens of prefectures and counties, defeated hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, captured countless people, and fought like a mountain, how could the emperor's reward for him be so simple.
Yue Fei himself didn't care about his official position and wealth, but he was also very surprised, and after a little relief, he thanked the emperor for his favor and stood up.
Seeing that the generals were slightly unhappy, the edict smiled and ordered a forbidden army officer behind him: "Come." Take out the Mianqi and show it to Yue Dashuai. "Yes, the last will obey." The officer of the forbidden army was obviously from the three armies, and he was a person from Guanshan, tall and sturdy, with a fierce face, and he replied to the edict with a Guanzhong accent, and then took out a pair of cotton flags from his horseback bag. Take a few steps forward and present it to Yue Fei.
Yue Fei glanced at him, only to feel that the other party was a little unfair, he was puzzled, and he couldn't think of the reason for it for a while, so he had to take the Mianqi, tear open the thread, and unfold it with a slight shake.
He was facing the generals, and the back of the cotton flag in his hand was facing him, and the cotton flag was opened. But all the generals were surprised. A look of surprise on his face. His heart moved, and he hurriedly moved the flag and looked at the front by himself. A glance. I only felt a hot breath hit my face, and my heart was sour and astringent, and I couldn't speak for a while.
But it turned out that this cotton flag was embroidered with the four big characters of "Jingzhong Yue Fei", which was written in Duan Kai, and the big characters embroidered with gold were shining under the refraction of the sun.
This is really a rare honor, and having this flag is really even more rare than the reward of those treasures and jewels.
Seeing that Yue Fei was moved, the edict envoy unconsciously stepped forward. Xiang Yue Fei said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that he has been injured for a long time, but this flag is awarded to the marshal, and he needs to write it himself, and the writing is not good, so the marshal must not dislike it." The words in the back were obviously a joke between Zhao Huan and this close minister, and he was also moved out by 1510.
I heard the emperor make fun of Yue Fei, and nine out of ten generals in front of him had never seen the emperor. It's just that everyone's love and loyalty to Zhao Huan is not weaker than that of the generals of the Western Army, coupled with Yue Fei's status and image in everyone's hearts, he has always been resolute and strict, and everyone will never use jokes to contact him.
Yue Fei also smiled, Shicai excitedly calmed down a little, and took a closer look at the Mianqi, although the font is upright, but the pen is soft and weak, not a good calligraphy, remembering that Zhao Huan has been taught by the Emperor Taishang since he was a child, and a stroke of calligraphy and painting is second only to Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, among the princes and princes of the clan, and it can be regarded as a calligraphy and painting master, I heard that he injured his right hand on the way to escape, and at this time he reluctantly used the imperial pen to write, and it was really a lot worse than in the past.
It's just that the more so, the more it shows the sincerity of the imperial pen and the emperor's trust in himself, he was moved in his heart, almost shed tears, had to hurriedly turn his back, hold his breath, and wait for the mood to recover slightly, only then turned around, to the hundreds of generals in front of him, and said loudly: "The generals listened, Your Majesty personally gave me a handwritten letter, promising me to be loyal to Yue Fei No. 1, I dare not be ashamed!" What is the point of defeating Li Cheng? Only when I defeat the Wushu, restore my Great Song River and Mountain, welcome Your Majesty and Kaifeng the old capital, can I dare to hang this flag in front of the Chinese military camp! ”
At this time, he already understood why Zhao Huan wanted to give him this banner, defeating Li Cheng was just the beginning, the emperor had high hopes for him, and he wanted him to make persistent efforts to defeat the golden soldiers and iron cavalry in the south, so he encouraged him so much.
As soon as Yue Fei's voice fell, the generals naturally bowed to Qi Nuo and said together: "The last generals dare not serve with death to repay the emperor's kindness!" ”
The envoy smiled again: "Your Majesty has given Marshal Yue such a generous reward, and the rest of the generals naturally have their own generous gifts, so I won't preach them to the generals one by one here, and someone will naturally pass it on to the generals later." ”
Everyone already knew at this time that the emperor gave Yue Feiqi was in line with the handsome's heart, and each of them would naturally have a generous reward, and they were all in unison, but the voice was a few points louder than just now.
This is not surprising, everyone is naturally loyal to the country, and there is no doubt about their loyalty to the country and the emperor, but it is not a bad thing that people are not saints and sages, and they need to be inspired by material things.
After the explanation was finished, Yue Fei knew that the edict came from the side of the Son of Heaven, and there must be important matters to discuss with him, so he immediately dismissed the generals, accompanied only himself, and welcomed the edict into the account.
After asking the name after entering the account, I learned that the edict's surname was Du Mingzhan, who was originally the governor of Huangzhou, and Yu Yunwen appreciated his ability to be both civil and military, and his mind was meticulous, so he was transferred to the cardinal council to join the army, and the time was not very long.
The military situation was urgent, Du Zhan and Yue Fei exchanged pleasantries, and when they saw Ping retreating left and right, he went straight in and said to Yue Fei: "The marshal has a mistake here, Your Majesty specially ordered me to bring the codex, and the marshal will talk about it after reading it." Yue Fei didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly took the codex handed over by the other party, and after a little scrutiny, he knew that it was indeed the emperor's handwriting, and he glanced at it, but he didn't mention the details, only said that Du Zhan would tell him carefully.
He knew that the other party was afraid that he didn't trust him, and Zhao Huan was also worried that the codex would fall into the hands of the enemy, after all, the edict had to pass through the enemy's war zone, and a little carelessness might make a mistake.
Because he carefully put away the codex again, he smiled at Du Zhan and said: "Your Majesty said that the current military situation is to explain to the adults face to face, and everything is to ask the adults for advice." ”
Du Zhan hurriedly bowed his hand and thanked him humbly: "How dare the lower officials give two words, it's just that His Majesty should teach him face-to-face and let the lower officials relay it." "He is a civilian official turned into a military position, although he is also very proficient in military affairs, in terms of the details of etiquette, after all, he is much more thoughtful than a military general, seeing Yue Fei's slightly anxious look, he is no longer polite, and said in a deep voice:
"There is no problem with the arrangement before the marshal, all the way forward, Lianke Famous City, the first battle across the main force of the pseudo-Qi, there are no twists and turns, Your Majesty and several cardinals mentioned it, they are very appreciative. However, after defeating Li Cheng, there were a few problems. Yue Fei was puzzled and said strangely: "I don't understand this." Now the enemy situation is difficult to understand, Kaifeng needs to stay to attract Jin soldiers, so I shrink my troops, stabilize the defensive line, and wait for the arrival of that Zongbi, if there is anything wrong, please advise. Du Zhan smiled and said to Yue Fei: "The big handsome thinks, is that Zongbi not as good as Li Cheng?" Yue Fei shook his head and said, "Li Cheng is just a fool, and the next deputy general under my command is better than him." Zong Bi, who has been in the army since he was a child, has experienced a hundred battles, and is wise and decisive on the battlefield, far above ordinary people. However, this person sees small but does not know big, and he only knows some small skills, and the general trend of the world is in the hands of His Majesty, so Jin Guo uses him as the main commander, and he is overstretched step by step, and he has been defeated repeatedly. I thought that if Zong Han was young and Zong Wang didn't die, we wouldn't have fought so smoothly in the past few years. He fell into contemplation, only caring about analyzing the general trend of the world with the other party, at this time, he said smoothly, comparing the enemy commander with the emperor, and even said that Zong Han and Zong Wang joined forces, and the emperor may not be able to win in the past few years.
But he heard Du Zhan laugh and said: "The handsome man is really wise, His Majesty himself has said this." He said that he had only been in the Five Kingdoms for a long time, deeply regretted his past, thought a lot about the general trend of the world, and knew the enemy's situation very well, so he could be so comfortable in the past few years. If the Jin country is strong, it may not be so wishy-washy. When I heard it today, what the marshal saw really didn't come out of what His Majesty himself said. "In fact, in the past few years, all of Zhao Huan's arrangements have been like heavens, and every move is simply played in the enemy's most sore spot, and every attack is hit on the seven inches of Jin Bingdi, so wise and powerful, it is like two people before. There have long been rumors among the people that Zhao Huan is already the Emperor Zhenwu, and this kind of rumor of ordinary people in the countryside naturally cannot affect the scholars and generals like Yue Fei in the court, only Zhao Huan's judgment of talent indirectly explains his great changes in recent years, which convinces everyone.
Yue Fei also showed a relieved expression, and smiled at Du Zhan: "Speaking of which, I don't know what it has to do with my arrangement?" Seeing the other party's sly smile, Yue Fei thought carefully in his heart, but suddenly like a lightning flash, remembering something, he suddenly stood up and said to Du Zhan: "I see, I understand." ”
