The weather entered the middle of April, it was the rainy season in the south, fortunately, the local government had already prepared, and the roads before crossing the river were repaired and smoothed for a long time, and a considerable amount of straw and other materials were prepared to pave the roads and facilitate the convoy to walk.

After entering the Central Plains, although the road situation is not as spacious and plain as in the southern Song Dynasty, it is a sunny day, from Huangguan to Yangzhou, millions of people and troops on the front of thousands of miles of people and troops transported countless strategic materials, and sent them to the front in a steady stream.

When Yue Fei and the Chinese army arrived in Yingchang, the supplies in the rear also followed, and the reconnaissance in front was also very smooth, the puppet Qi lost the city and lost the territory, the border army was in vain, the Jin soldiers gathered the main force, and at the same time also wanted to know the specific strategic purpose of the Song army, so they reprimanded the puppet Qi up and down, and ordered the puppet Qi to immediately assemble the main force, and the Song army that would commit the crime was repulsed. Han Shizhong's troops had already invaded Shandong and went straight to Jinan, while the two divisions of Zhe Yanzhi and Yang Yizhong did not advance smoothly according to the plan, and they were blocked under the fortified city and could not move forward.

Under such a situation, the pseudo-Qi misjudged, and the government and the opposition all believed that as long as Yue Fei's main force was defeated, the Song army's offensive would retreat.

Since the beginning of April, the Song army began to attack, to the middle of the month after Yue Fei's troops captured four state capitals, more than 20 county seats, the puppet Qi in the heart of the Central Plains mobilized the main army, nearly 200,000 people's main force, led by Li Cheng, including nearly 20,000 cavalry, slowly assembled from Kaifeng to Luoyang, ready to defeat Yue Fei's troops before the Song army arrived in Huangguan.

Yue Fei couldn't help but smile when he knew that it was Li Chengcheng, and said to everyone: "This person has been defeated by me five or six times, and he is considered an old acquaintance. It is said that he should grow up some, but in the past year, I took everyone to the pseudo-Qi to congratulate the year, he brought tens of thousands of people, and was broken through the formation by Yue Yun's five hundred backs, and fled in a desert. ”

The opposing side gathers forces. Yue Fei's heart was not chaotic. More than ninety percent of the assembled main force are Han soldiers, and the pseudo-Qi is not deeply rooted, unlike the Song Dynasty that has an irreplaceable position in the hearts of the people, so its soldiers only have a small number of professional soldiers, which is where the combat power lies, and the rest are strong men who are forcibly pulled, but I am afraid that even the combat effectiveness of the Song army is not as good, and at this time the main force of the Jin soldiers has not yet been assembled. The pseudo-Qi Ken gathered his family in one place, which was equivalent to giving Yue Fei a big gift with both hands, which was naturally to be laughed at.

The fighter plane was imminent, Yue Fei naturally gave an order, except for the back danger and most of the infantry armor heavy infantry to stay by his side, the rest of the generals took the troops first, and the high pet department was even more aggressive, and it was only a hundred miles away from Luoyang.

Everything went well, but God refused to help, as if the rain clouds in the south had drifted to the Central Plains. From the middle of the month. It rained heavily for two days in a row, and it was April 16. The heavy rain finally showed signs of stopping, the sky was still dark and dreary, and the rain clouds pressed on the top of people's heads, refusing to drift away, and bursts of sporadic light rain, intermittently, made people upset and irritable, but there was no way.

It was raining for days and the roads were muddy, in such a situation. The supplies have been in place in advance, but it is not conducive to the action of heavy infantry and cavalry, and the Song army is anxious, but unfortunately the heavens are not beautiful, so they have to wait for the time being.

Yang Zaixing is the deputy general of the Shengjie Army, the new military system, each army has 10,000 people, one commander, and three deputy commanders. There will be a number of adjutant generals. Such a position, although it can also carry a gold star on its shoulders, in fact, in the entire forbidden army, it only belongs to the position that has just gotten rid of low-level officers, and has reached the middle level.

And from the middle level to a higher position, it is not just by personal courage to build up military merits, or hard work qualifications can be satisfied, the time and place are favorable, and military merit and luck are indispensable.

Yang Zaixing is not worried, he is a descendant of the Yang family in Shuozhou, and he has learned his marksmanship for many years, coupled with natural bravery, except for a few people in the army, no one is his opponent. He rushed to Chang'an to lecture on martial arts, and received three months of training, although the time was not long, the content of the lecture was dedicated to the general strategy, and not just according to the military book, but the history of the dynasties and generations, and even the local battles compiled into lesson plans, to talk about the gains and losses, and then talk about the details of the march and the battlefield.

So in just a few months, Yang Zaixing was like being reborn, and he felt that he was excellent in martial arts but not a general, and he became more confident in his heart.

When it comes to luck, he is not only not as good as the average general, but even equal. He was originally a general of the giant Cao Cheng, when Yue Fei conquered Cao Cheng, Yang Zaixing relied on his martial arts to kill Yue Fei's fifth brother Yue Tuo, and formed a personal enmity with Yue Fei's family, and later he knew that following Cao Cheng had no future at all, so he surrendered to Yue Fei after Cao Cheng's defeat.

Yue Fei didn't kill him, which is not surprising, but from the time he was put into service, he was a deputy general, and after two years of hard work, he was still only a deputy general.

There is no other reason, one is that there is no significant military exploits, and the other is because everyone knows that he has something to do with the Yue family, Yue Fei doesn't care, it doesn't mean that others don't care about it. Moreover, Yue Yun has a heavy relationship with Yue Tuo's uncle and nephew, and he has always held a grudge against Yang Zaixing, which also makes it so that when promoting generals according to the routine, the main generals at all levels will forget this person intentionally or unintentionally.

This time he attacked the Central Plains, and Yang Zaixing held his breath in his heart. After the new group won the Jiejun army, he was also transferred to the elite troops in this elite army to be a deputy general because of his superior force, and there were more than 1,000 people under his hands, all of whom were carefully selected heroes, and he was confident that he would capture the flag in the battle array, and vowed to make some achievements, so that those who looked at him coldly knew that he was a son of the Yang clan in Shuozhou, and he was not a bad seed.

Because the Shengjie army is in the establishment of the Chinese army, directly under the command of Yue Fei, the deputy general or above, every day to get the Chinese army in the big tent to go to the Mao, although the day has not been clear, the morning is sparse and pulled a little rain, the Chinese army is in the city, Yang Zaixing is outside the city, all the way to the hard, to the camp, only to know that Yue Fei is not in the camp, rain with light horses to Luoyang nearby, to survey the terrain, the Chinese army by Yue Yun guarded, see Yang Zaixing coming, can not help but stare at him a few times.

Yang Zaixing didn't take it to heart, he was also very young, but he had already started a family, and compared to Yue Yun, who was only in his early sixteens, he was much more mature and stable.

He killed someone's uncle, and he was glared at a few times, and he had to give up. The only thing he can worry about is that Yue Yun stumbled him on the battlefield and made a shady move, which would definitely be very miserable at that time. However, Yue Fei's father and son are both above board, and according to Yue Yun's temperament, they would rather kill him with Yang Zaixing in person than make this kind of obscene method, so he is not worried.

Seeing Yue Yun's glare, he also turned a blind eye, and greeted many colleagues with a smile, everyone knew that the weather was bad, the road was difficult, and they couldn't use soldiers for a while, and the danger of Jin Bing was still far away, so they were all in a relaxed mood and didn't take the current war to heart.

When the evening was scattered, Yang Zaixing looked at the distant sky, only to see a ray of red light shining through the black oppressive clouds, shining on the earth.

He was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that the weather was about to improve, and in a few days he would be able to invite the enemy troops on the Luoyang side.

Just about to leave the camp, he saw his own general in charge, Fu Qing, the commander of the Shengjie Army, beckoning to him. Yang Zaixing didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly trotted forward, and after greeting him, he asked with a smile: "What are the commands?" ”

Fu Qing frowned and said: "The marshal passed the order in front, the area around Luoyang has already been clear, although it is difficult for us to travel here, but there is no rain today, and we will be on the road tomorrow." The Shengjie army is heavy armor, and it has to protect the convoy, and the road is difficult, and the road is extremely early. When you go back, I will inform your brothers that they should rest early, and that tomorrow we will be on our way as long as it does not rain. ”

"Yes! The last will be obeyed. Yang Zaixing was full of excitement, saluted Fu Qing with a fist, and asked, "When you don't know how to engage in a battle, will you use our Shengjie army to take the lead?" ”

Fu Qing is an old man in Yue Fei's old department, he has always been very trustworthy, and there are a lot of taboos, and because of Yang Zaixing's bravery, he is very important to this love general, and he replied with a smile at the moment: "What do you want us to do when you fight counterfeiting?" It was not good to expose it early, and the step armor and the car formation have not been used yet, and it is too wasteful to use them to fight them. ”

He turned his head to look at Yue Yun not far away, and said with a smile: "Most of the merits of the first battle have to be carried by the back danger army, they are famous, and how to fight is not unexpected." ”

The war has not yet begun, the main generals are full of confidence, Yang Zaixing does not feel strange, like these generals, fighting Li Cheng's more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers and horses, but it is indeed impossible to put pressure on the soldiers of the Yue family army who have been on the battlefield for a long time.

At that moment, he said goodbye to Fu Qing, and saw that Fu Qing's personal soldiers summoned the officers of the Shengjie Army one by one, presumably they ordered them separately, no longer beat the drum and pass the general, tomorrow will be sunny or rainy, everyone does not know, once the drum is passed on and it cannot be done, it will frustrate morale, Yang Zaixing nodded secretly, knowing that Fu Qing is a veteran of the battlefield after all, which is admirable.

Out of the camp gate, more than a dozen of his personal soldiers surrounded him, and after asking Fu Xuan's order, everyone couldn't hide their joy, if it wasn't not far from the Chinese army, they were afraid that they would cheer.

Yang Zaixing himself was also happy, but he scolded these pro-soldiers and said: "Whether you can leave tomorrow or not, it is still between five and five, after returning to the camp in a while, you will send orders separately and let everyone prepare, but you must make it clear that if it still rains tomorrow, you will have to wait a little longer." A pro-soldier smiled with a smile on his face, looked at the red clouds that were getting clearer and clearer in the distance, and said with a smile: "No, tomorrow must be clear." ”

"It's for the best."

Everyone gossiped and said, "General Fu will use us to play the striker?" ”

"The Shengjie Army is the elite of the whole army, and we are the most elite in the Shengjie Army.

"That is, we don't fight the striker, unless we use cavalry."

Yang Zaixing was originally full of excitement, but at this time, he was sulking by these pro-soldiers, and he couldn't get the striker, so where was the merit?

When everyone saw him like this, they didn't dare to say it anymore, so they had to follow him honestly, the dull sound of horses' hooves sounded rapidly on the official road, and the brown and yellow soil kept splashing on everyone, and after a while, the military camp with lights in front of them was already close in front of them.
