Thirty miles outside the city of Lin'an, a group of forbidden troops escorted a Qinghu carriage in the direction of Lin'an.

In the carriage sat the deputy capital Yu Shi Wang Che, who was ordered by the emperor to go to Ezhou to inspect and appease Yue Fei's old department, and now he is about to return to Lin'an to restore his life.

The deputy general Ma Huaizhong lifted the horse lance upside down, drove the horse hooves under his crotch to the side of the green car, knocked on the window with his fingers, and reported to Wang Che in a low voice.

"My lord, this place is still thirty miles away from Lin'an. There is an official post ten miles ahead, I don't know if the adults will rush back to Lin'an today, or repair in the post station for one night and then hurry? The last will be arranged by the good people. ”

Wang Che supported one hand on the small table in the car, and the other hand held the latest issue of the Di Bao, and a message on it caught his attention, this news was about King Pu, saying that he was sad about the death of his beloved son, vomiting blood, and the emperor had sent the imperial doctor to Shaoxing three times to treat King Pu, "all of which were ineffective." "The emperor remembered the virtue of King Pu and wanted to take King Pu to Lin'an for treatment.

This palace report was written three days ago, and King Pu should have followed his son by this time.

Before being ordered to leave Lin'an, Wang Che was quite lucky, but now Lin'an City is surging, and if he is not careful, he will end up in ruin. The drama of the previous dynasties fighting for the prince is either you die or I die, there has never been a two-sided flattery, the inheritance of the throne of the Zhao and Song royal families has always been stable, but I didn't expect that most of the country was gone, but someone came forward to fight for the throne.

Wang Che just didn't expect that the seemingly powerful King Pu family would be so vulnerable, and it would only take more than a month to work before and after, and King Pu's father and son both lost their lives.

Hearing the inquiry in Ma's arms, Wang Che asked, "What time is it to rush back to Lin'an today?" ”

"Today, after a long time, I have been sleepy and tired, and I have to go to the post station to repair, at least for an hour, and then it is night to rush back to Lin'an."

"Forget it. After rushing for so many days, the soldiers have also worked hard, so they will repair for a day at the post station, and return to Lin'an tomorrow. ”

"Yes, the last general will arrange it." Ma Huaizhong agreed, kicked the horse's belly, and rode away, and after a while, Wang Che heard him command in a loud voice: "Lord Wang has an order, repair at the post station tonight, and return to Lin'an early tomorrow morning." Cheer up, hot soup will be available soon! ”

A small soldier carrying a red flag received Ma Huaizhong's instructions, rode a horse and galloped to the post station to fight the front station, and ordered someone to arrange a room and hot soup food, as well as the horse's forage had to be prepared in advance.

The sound of the car was loud, and Wang Che's thoughts flew back to the days of inspecting Yue Fei's old department.

The blood of the Ezhou soldiers was presented to the emperor's desk, and the next day, Wang Che was ordered to leave Lin'an.

As a Wenchen at the pinnacle of the political scene of the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Che has always been condescending and looking down on the martial artists, especially a group of big-headed soldiers who lick blood with swords. If it weren't for the wind and waves of Lin'an, Wang Che would not have taken this errand.

He couldn't imagine what an army whose commander and father were both killed for treason would degenerate after eighteen years of struggle. He even speculated that most of the "blood letters" contained in this "10,000 blood letter" under the guise of redressing the grievances of the old marshal were just the selfish motives of the big-headed soldiers to ask the court for money and food.

Wang Che made such a speculation not because he had any prejudice against Yue Fei's old department, but in fact, this kind of operation was the norm in the Great Song Dynasty, and the "redundant soldiers" of one of the "three redundant soldiers" in the Great Song Dynasty mostly referred to the Xiang Army, and most of the sources of the Xiang Army were recruited by the imperial court after the peasant uprising, and they were trained as the Xiang Army. Due to the meager salary, it was difficult to make ends meet, and the soldiers had to make a fuss from time to time, so that the court could pay money and food to appease them, and they could be quiet for a while.

Before leaving Lin'an, Wang Che had met the emperor and the left and right ministers, and they had to give them a face-to-face lecture to determine the "price" of this pacification, so Wang Che set a bottom line for his mission this time: "As long as you don't cross too many conditions promised by the emperor and the ministers, this official can be up to you!" ”

When Wang Che arrived in Ezhou, it was too late to repair, and the generals of the Yuejia army came to urge him, the "angel", to move to the barracks and read the three armies for Colonel Sheng.

Wang Che threw the cloth towel for wiping his face into the copper basin for washing his face, and couldn't help but sneer: "I can't wait for a moment, I have to make conditions with this official!" ”

Wang Che suppressed his anger, and immediately let the car turn around and go to the military camp outside the city, he wanted to see what kind of goods these generals of the Yue family army could come up with, so that he, the "angel" from the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, would strive for more benefits for them, or Wang Che didn't believe that these veterans could impress him at all.

Yue Fei's old department was stationed ten miles outside the city of Ezhou, and Wang Che's car drove until he came to the camp gate, only to see a fine sand-paved avenue, about one zhang and five feet wide, from the front of the camp gate to a mile away.

On both sides of the road were columns of soldiers, most of them in their forties and fifties, with solemn faces, gray hair, old armor, and straight backs. The soldiers held their waist knives in their hands and looked ahead, with a murderous aura of iron and blood.

Wang Che's car had just driven to the starting point of Huangsha Road, and the general who led the team immediately issued an order-

"The whole army listens to the order and turns left and right! Greetings to Lord Angel Wang! ”

Listening to the sonorous sound of the nail leaves, the soldiers on both sides of the road all turned around to face the car, held the knife in their left hand, and clenched their fists with their right hands on the armor on their chests "Bang Bang Bang" three times in a row, bowing their heads deeply: "I have seen Lord Wang, Lord Wang has worked hard all the way!" ”

The soldiers moved in unison, and the gestures of welcome were sufficient, but they did not make people feel flattering.

Wang Che walked out of the carriage, stood in front of the door, waved to the soldiers, as the carriage moved forward, the columns of soldiers automatically turned to face the center of the road, and once again greeted Wang Che with military etiquette.

The carriage marched all the way to the point of the general's platform, Wang Che boarded the point of the general under the tail of the general, tens of thousands of soldiers under the stage were nailed to the ground like javelins, their faces were no longer young, but the clean military appearance let everyone who had seen it know that they were still the most elite army in the Great Song Dynasty, as long as an order was given, they could still kill the generals and capture the flag, and go straight to the Yellow Dragon!

Under Wang Che's gaze, the entire school was silent, and tens of thousands of old soldiers only stared at him with a pair of eager eyes, Wang Che couldn't help but sigh: "Although the good general has passed away, the military discipline is still clear!" ”

Hearing Wang Che's sigh, the iron-like faces of the old soldiers in the audience were slightly loosened. When Wang Che said that their "letter of blood of 10,000 people" had been delivered to the emperor, the emperor ordered himself to come to appease the soldiers and listen to their needs and hearts.

The iron-cast faces in the audience finally collapsed and turned into ordinary faces that were howling. Wang Che saw that many old soldiers hid their faces and cried bitterly, and even fell to the ground, beating the ground and crying, while counting loudly: "God has opened his eyes, Yue Shuai, did you hear it?" God has opened your eyes, and it's finally time to clear your grievances! ”

Wang Che was even more crying around him, and the generals who surrounded him to the point of general platform were choked up and speechless, and the entire Ezhou military camp cried like thunder.

Wang Che boasted that he was used to seeing the wind and waves, and his heart was already as hard as iron, and he couldn't help but be moved at this time, he let these old soldiers vent their grievances that had been accumulated for eighteen years, and stood there quietly, not disturbing, and also asked his attaché not to disturb them.

Eighteen years, eighteen years! He knew that if he didn't let the soldiers of the Yue family army vent their accumulated grievances, once the 100,000 soldiers of the Yue family army made a fuss, it would be an unbearable burden for the Great Song Dynasty!

About half an hour later, the crying finally became quieter. A general of the Yue family army beside Wang Che took the lead in wiping away his tears and shouted loudly: "Stop! All the soldiers listened to the order, wiped away their tears, and stood up straight for me, stand well! Yue Shuai is gone, we are still alive, we can't disgrace Yue Shuai every day we live! ”

With this order, the man who was beating the ground and crying rolled over and got up, wiped the tears from his face, slapped the dirt on his body, and stood as straight as a javelin!

Those who were still sobbing clenched their cheeks, and the muscles on their cheeks bulged out like earthworms, holding back tears in their stomachs!

In less than half a moment, this heart-rending army has become a sharp iron spear again, ready to attack at any time!

The generals who ordered the whole army to immediately turn around and kneel down in front of Wang Che: "Please Lord Wang to redress Yue Shuai's grievances, I am willing to serve death!" ”

"Please Lord Wang to redress Yue Shuai's grievances, I am willing to serve the death force!"

The generals on the stage and the soldiers under the stage followed the main general to kneel down in front of Wang Che, clasping their fists together and begging, their vicissitudes of life have hope, pleading, and determination to redress the grievances of the old marshal at all costs!

Wang Che indignantly promised: "After returning to Lin'an, this official will immediately report to the emperor and the ministers, report your request truthfully, and ask the court to wash away Yue Fei's grievances!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

"Lord Wang is our benefactor, and we are willing to serve Lord Wang!"

"Lord Wang is the benefactor of the Yue family's army, we are willing to set up a shrine for Lord Wang, worship every day, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless Lord Wang with a hundred years of longevity, and the prince of all generations!"

Wang Che opened the drawer of Xiaoji and took out a thick scroll inside, which was a love letter written again by the soldiers of Yue Fei's old department in Ezhou. Wang Che's fingers stroked the scroll, and he remembered the situation when the soldiers lined up one by one to press their handprints on the scroll.

After each soldier pressed the mudra, he would clench his right hand into his chest with a fist, and then bow deeply to him, and then walk away silently.

Wang Che knew that this was the soldier's thanks and entrustment to him, and sometimes no words were worth a thousand words!

Wang Che caressed the knots on the scroll and groaned for a long time, he decided to immediately repair the book to Zhang Jun of Yongzhou and Chen Junqing, the servant of the imperial history, after arriving at the post station, and asked them to speak for Yue Fei together, "Although the will is difficult to change, it is even more difficult to disobey the will of the people!" ”

Wang Che had just made up his mind, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came, Wang Che was about to open the curtain to see what was happening outside, with the sound of "da-da" horses' hooves, Ma Huaizhong knocked on the car window again, he put his head on the window, and said to Wang Che: "My lord, someone from Qingliang Mountain said that there is something important to discuss——"
