Let’s talk about it, as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 16th, Yue Fei was ordered to go to war. As soon as he entered the territory of Dongping Prefecture in the north, he collided with countless defeated troops of Zhang Rong’s army. Naturally, he was surprised and suspicious. However, he couldn’t help but command the order. The man immediately ordered that while letting the troops seize Pingyin City on the south bank of the Jishui River, he also sent troops to gather the defeated troops and inquire about military information.

Of course, after all, they fought together and were standard neighbors. The relationship between the two families was pretty good, so there was no need for Yue Fei to deliberately gather it. Zhang Rong's army automatically gathered in Pingyin City with the banner of Yue.

Among them, there are naturally also high-ranking generals of Zhang Rong's army who had contact with him in the past, or the leader of Liangshanbo.

"Please!"

After a moment, Zhang Xian, the deputy commander of the central army, heading northeast to gather the defeated army, led a man to Yue Fei standing outside the city gate. "Li Kui has come to the command..."

Yue Fei, who was squinting his eyes and looking at the north road, couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this.

You should know that Yue Fei was extremely strict in his military administration. After he became the governor of the tutor, his troops quickly expanded to 14,500,000. If it were others, his subordinates had already had more than a dozen commanders. However, under Yue Fei's command, except for himself, there were only two commanders... One Wang Gui, who usually guarded Jeju City, the other Fu Xuan, and Dingtao City, which was stationed in Guangji Army... were all officially appointed by the imperial court.

Further down, they were all at the commander level, and the appointment was extremely strict. Even a confidant like Tang Huai and Zhang Xian could not be a true orthodox leader.

So relatively speaking, the 'other', that is, Zhang Rong, who is still in the world, is still a style of martial arts, but he cannot help but reward him indiscriminately. Many leaders, even those in charge of ships and pigs, have a title of command... If it weren't for the special warning by Zhang later, he would have said that he would not have been able to create 108 commands.

Yue Fei was slightly excited at this time, not because of anything else, but because he was born in Yizhou, who was a military thief and then became a military thief and followed others to seize Mizhou. He was defeated by Li Cheng, who was fighting against the sword in the hall that day. Finally, he was a wandering Li Kui and Li ruler who was a rare stable and meticulous person under Zhang Rong. He was also a serious leader. With his words, he could know some details.

"Yue Shufu!" The delicate general called Li Kui came to Yue Fei in a mess and bowed in a mess. Before Yue Fei got off the horse, he reported the two most important military situations. "The Jin man is here, Kong Yanzhou's guy rebels in the battle..."

Even though Yue Fei had already guessed, he had a slight change in his expression when he heard these two sentences, and then he asked: "Are you sure it's a Jin man? Why didn't you have any movement before?"

"It must be a Jin man." Li Kui stood up straight, with blood and dust on his fair face, but he quickly told him what he saw. "Although he was dressed up as a military horse in Jinan Mansion, his riding skills and arrows were not fake... Yesterday afternoon, Liu Yu's eldest son Liu Lin personally covered up the formation. Four or five thousand soldiers behind him suddenly got on the horse and raised the flag of the Wanhu Ali who came to Jingdong last year. As soon as he rushed up, he knew it was a Jurchen! It's a pity that Kong Yanzhou must have gotten Liu Yu's words in advance. He deliberately fell behind first. When he saw that the formation collapsed, he immediately turned against him and attacked them with him... As for how it came about, it was still unclear, but the tenth ** should have pretended to be a refugee from Hebei."

"It should be just pretending to be a refugee from Hebei." Someone from the generals behind him immediately expressed his agreement.

"Yes, at the beginning of the month I said that the Jin people didn't have time to cross the river, so they supported Liu Yu and his son four or five thousand war horses? Zhang Xianggong (Zhang Suo) also made up his mind to fight Jinan for this reason. Now the Jin people have different clothes, which shows that it was the soldiers who had divided the war horses first, and then the soldiers pretended to be refugees to come here..." Someone thought of the previous military situation.

"I just don't know why Kong Yanzhou ruined the reputation of our Xiangzhou people? I saw him being in power before, and I thought this bird had changed his temperament! Today, it still looks like a scoundrel when he was in Xiangzhou's hometown!" Zhang Xian, who had always been free, cursed even more.

Yue Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking, but he didn't say much.

Let me say that although Kong Yanzhou was a local soldier from Jingdong, he was from Hebei like Li Cheng, who had once fought with Yue Fei. He broke the law and went to the south to join the army. Moreover, as Zhang Xian revealed in his indignation, Kong Yanzhou's hometown was not elsewhere, but Xiangzhou, so many people in Yue Fei's army knew him. In addition, his base was a little north of Yanzhou, so many refugees in Xiangzhou also defected to him.

What's more, because of this fellow villager relationship, Yue Fei's reputation was very famous and early, Kong Yanzhou also had some means to govern the army, and the two sides were close to each other, so the latter once had the title of "Little Yue Fei"... It is said that even Zhang's reused this person was somewhat related.

"Yue Zhenfu, what should I do now?" Seeing that Yue Fei didn't speak, Li Kui couldn't help but face him anxiously even if he was so meticulous.

"Stop in Pingyin first." Yue Fei, who came to his senses, finally spoke. "Try to gather the troops, gather the troops, and be prepared to prevent the Jin people from taking advantage of the victory. The key is to quickly find Zhang Zhenfu (Zhang Rong)..."

Since Yue Fei spoke, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief as if they had a backbone, and then they all took action.

Next, everything went smoothly within a day. Not only did the defeated soldiers gathered together, the enemy did not chase after him. It was not just that. In the evening, even Zhang Rong had a definite message. He was shot in the thigh by the Jin people and did not dare to walk the path easily. He could only push him along the ditches beside the Ji River.

Yue Fei did not dare to be negligent, so he asked Tang Huai to guard the city and personally took Zhang Xian and Li Kui to lead the White Army to greet each other overnight. However, after seeing Zhang Rong, this person was unwilling to enter the city.

"I'm so cowardly, how can I have the attitude to take charge of the situation in Pingyin City?" Zhang Rong sat on a cart, pillowed with a pile of hay, one of his legs tied to a wooden board, and a sweaty white towel wrapped around his forehead. He no longer had the same pride in the past. After seeing Yue Fei and Li Kui, he turned his head over.

"It's just a victory or defeat, let alone the Jin people's sneak attack, and Kong Yanzhou turned against each other, Brother Zhang doesn't have to be upset." Yue Fei had no choice but to step forward and hold the other party's arm and persuade him. "The situation is unclear now. I guess the Jin people will definitely not come from Jinan only. The army along the river cannot be said to be said, and the overall situation will be handled by brothers. Kong Yanzhou has rebelled, Jinan Prefecture and Yanzhou are connected together, and Dongping Prefecture is the first to be the first to be the brunt of it. Brother Zhang does not preside over the situation now, so what's the situation here?"

Zhang Rong shook his head repeatedly: "You are becoming more and more literary... In fact, you don't have to worry about Pengju in Dongping Mansion. I was born in Liangshanpo and grew up in Liangshanpo. Whether it is the Jin people, Liu Yu, or Kong Yanzhou, I will try my best not to let them ruin the surroundings. But when it comes to the overall situation, I can't do anything today..."

Yue Fei immediately wanted to persuade him again.

"Brother Pengju, don't say it." Zhang Rong said before the other party. "You are an ambitious and capable person, otherwise you wouldn't have learned to write any words and read any books in Jeju. I know this. But after all, I am just a thief and can't compare with you. It's a pity that day, I won a battle and was appointed by the Zhao Guan family. My mind was also swollen. I really regarded myself as a famous general in the anti-Jin... This battle made me see clearly that I could do it. How many brothers stared at my banner and surrendered, and countless casualties were killed and injured in one day! How can I have the face to go to Yinping to preside over the situation?"

Yue Fei already understood the other party's meaning in his heart, but it was difficult to speak. Li Kui was a meticulous person, but he came forward at the right time to bow his hands.

Sure enough, when Zhang Rong saw Li Kui coming forward, he took advantage of the situation to express his thoughts: "Brother Li Kui, if you still think I am a leader, then follow my order and follow Yue Zhenfu to Yinping to preside over the situation... Tell those brothers that after Liangshanbo and Dongping locals were sorted out, they escorted the people in the north of Dongping Prefecture to meet me in front of Liangshanbo. I lean on Liangshanbo, and no matter how difficult it is, I can protect them. As for the heroes who have come to surrender these days, you will keep them for the time being. Don't come to look for me after the collection, just follow Yue Zhenfu's arrangements."

Li Kui originally came up with these two sentences, so he simply bowed his hands and agreed.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Zhang Rongqing knew that she had indeed lost the hearts of these outsiders, and she felt even more boring... Only Yue Fei here forced the others to break the back and clean up the mess. The leader of Liangshanbo really felt sorry, so he leaned on the cart and wanted to hold the other party's hand and say a few thoughtful words.

But after thinking about it, firstly, there is really no ink in my stomach, secondly, I am really ashamed, thirdly, I always think that everyone is better than me in everything, so I can read and write lyrics, and even the business prospects in Jeju are better than Dongping, so I have nothing to say.

Finally, in order not to waste the other party’s time, this great leader just learned the most popular posture in the world, that is, he just held the other party’s hands and said, “Take care!”

The two separated, not mentioning Zhang Rong's style in the world, they prospered in one battle and were frustrated in another battle, and they could only say Zhang Rong's words. After having the right to deal with it, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian and Li Kui led the White Army back in a hurry, and Yue Fei was speechless all the way, which made the entourage feel a little nervous.

When others entered Pingyin City and the rest went to rest, Zhang Xianpei's chance to peek was when he was tying horses in the stable behind the yamen. He couldn't help but ask for advice by the opportunity of getting along alone: ​​"My brother has been in a bad mood since he heard about the military situation today, but he was angry that Kong Yanzhou, the thief, lost the face of us Xiangzhou people? Or did he think that Zhang Rong's defeat in this battle was too miserable and the situation in Dongping was difficult to deal with?"

"Kong Yanzhou deserves to be cut into pieces." In private, Yue Fei had nothing to hide when facing his brothers. "But there will never be few people like this after Zhang Bangchang, Fan Qiong, and Liu Yu, and there is no resentment. The situation in Dongping is naturally worth worrying, but since the Jin people went south, they were afraid that the entire Central Plains would be damaged, and the overall situation of life and death of the country would be there, how could they have some concerns about Dongping?"

"That's what I still remember about my sister-in-law?" Zhang Xian was cautious.

Yue Fei was slightly stunned and didn't react for a moment.

When Zhang Xian saw this, he wanted to slap himself... By the way, after becoming the poliest, Yue Fei finally had enough staff. In addition, the situation in Hebei was very bad, so he asked someone to send someone to find his family and his brothers' families. However, eighteen times, he finally took his family from Xiangzhou, Hebei last month, but found that his wife had abandoned his mother and several children a year ago and traveled to Henan with her parents' home alone.

In other words, Yue Pengju was dumped, and it was probably over a year ago that he had been green... If you put this kind of thing on other men, you will probably be jealous of it for the rest of your life. Even if you put it in, you will definitely give it to your daughter, and you will be criticized.

However, when Yue Fei heard this, he smiled rarely: "I naturally hate her ruthlessness, but at that time, everyone was surviving. I abandon her in that kind of fire pit first, so how can I blame her? But after all, she is my wife whom I married, and she ran away, but she shouldn't have left my mother and two children... This is a loss of ritual... Now that I have settled in Jeju, I don't have to pay much attention to this matter. I will get the message in the future and see if she is doing well, so I can give her some money."

"Brother said that." Zhang Xian quickly passed by perfunctorily.

"But today I do have a worry and a hard place to calm down." Yue Fei said that gossip, seeing that his brothers didn't believe it, he didn't explain. He just stood in the stable, then touched the head of the war horse in front of him and sighed slightly, explaining the reason why he was in a bad mood all day. "What I worry about is that once the Jin people invade the south, 200,000 troops will definitely attack in full, and then at least the main force will point to Nanyang. Today, Jinan has a hike all the way, and it is not scary to be afraid.

I am afraid that there are other places, and then the front line will collapse and make the overall situation difficult. At that time, our Jeju City will be more than 10,000 people, who are still leaning in front, and they will have to defend the city and fight, and they will be difficult to be fully integrated... I used to think that I had few soldiers, which made me lack strength. I thought that if I could manage a military state and lead tens of thousands of people, but now the official family made me an extraordinary decision to be a polite envoy, leading one state and one army, but it may still be difficult to support it alone, and I may not even be able to protect the place, and I cannot help but feel depressed."

Zhang Xian nodded immediately... In the overall situation, it was hard to support it. They had experienced too much of this principle before. If his brother was promoted, he would still be like this, so he naturally felt uneasy.

"There is another thing that they are angry. They all say that the Jin people in Jinan Prefecture were pretending to be refugees from Hebei and sneaking south. I think so too..." Yue Fei continued to sigh. "Then let's not mention the other places, just talk about the four or five thousand gold people in Jinan Prefecture. Where did they come from when they pretend to be refugees? They can't buy them, right?"

Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, but Yue Fei took advantage of the situation and turned aside, added night grass to the war horses, and then went to rest.

However, when time came in midnight, everyone was awakened by the sound of horse hooves, saying that a fire was observed from afar from the north of Pingyin City, Linlin flashing, as if a large army was marching overnight. I wonder if the enemy was preparing to attack at night... The enemy was nearby, so Yue Fei certainly did not fail to make such a plan. He immediately stood up, and while ordering the troops to prepare for the entire line and prepare for attack at any time, he also told the city not to light torches without authorization to show his unpreparedness.

However, the whistle cavalry continued to inform a military situation that made Yue Fei completely distorted - it was indeed a large number of cavalry marching overnight, and it was almost certain that it was the Jin army led by Wanhu Ali, but the Jin cavalry marched overnight on the other side of the Jishui River, moving south quickly along the Jishui River, without any intention of attacking Pingyin.

In other words, the other party is likely to be heading for the Guangji army behind Liangshanpo and Jeju, to rely on the benefits of cavalry to surround the Yue family's army's retreat.

However, this was not enough to make Yue Fei's terrified. What really made Yue Fei worry was that based on his understanding of the Jin combat style, a bigger possibility was... As the pioneer of stealth and smuggling, the Wanhu Ali might have greater strategic tasks. The other party did not take Yue Fei's ten thousand people seriously. This trip was just a hurry to pick up other Jin troops, and even to join other smuggling troops, directly attacking Zhang Suo in Nanjing or Zong Ze in Tokyo.

Thinking of this layer in his mind, Yue Pengju did not dare to neglect it. The next morning, he immediately mobilized the entire army. While using Zhang Xian as the vanguard to lead the Bai army to move south at a rapid speed to explore the situation; while allowing his troops to join the people of Pingyin and the injured Dongping Prefecture to go south to gather on the north bank of Liangshanpo. Finally, he personally led Tang Huai and Li Kui to lead less than 2,000 central troops in Pingyin to continue to gather defeated soldiers and cut off the rear.

At this point, I can only count on Liu Lin and Kong Yanzhou, the two of them, who came slowly.

However, in the morning, the troops had just dispersed around to gather and escort the people, and military information came to report that Xu Qing, the general under Kong Yanzhou, had already led 3,000 troops to appear twenty miles north of the city.

"Xu Qing came so fast!" Even Tang Huai, who had always been taciturn, was anxious. "It must be that the horse exploration was attracted by the Jin people's brigade last night. He took the opportunity to stop and march secretly overnight..."

"Yue Zhenfu, the defeated troops are not enough to fight. Should we let some of the troops that have just dispersed come back?" Li Kui was also a little panicked. "It must be known that Xu Qing does not need to beat us. As long as we nail us, we will not be able to leave when Kong Yanzhou and Liu Lin arrive in the rear."

"Since that's the case, why did he stop and come secretly overnight?" On the top of the city, Yue Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, and the whites of his eyes appeared, as if he looked down on Xu Qing at all. "No matter what, let's go out of the city and go north and take the initiative to welcome him!"
