    A strong spring wind blew up the snow and dust outside Yanmen Pass, making the sky full of mist.  Lead-gray clouds piled up on the horizon, and it looked like another heavy snowfall was about to fall one after another.  In February of the sixth year of Xuanhe¡¯s reign in the Song Dynasty, the weather was much colder than in previous years.  In the past few years, it has become clear that winter has become longer, coming earlier and leaving later.  On the east side of the river, there was no sign of the coming spring. Instead, there was heavy snowfall one after another, shrouding everyone in the bitter cold and making it impossible to escape.  . Looking from afar, you can see Yanmen City Fortress on Gouzhu Mountain. In the swirling snow and dust, the dangerous pass is looming. The wind is shrill and shrill, repeatedly hitting the city fortress, which makes people feel like it is crumbling.  There was a group of people and horses, no more than six or seven riders, wearing iron armor, wearing hoods on their heads, and wrapped in cloaks.  He was standing quietly reining in his horse on a hill.  Surrounded by several personal guards, the one standing immediately at the highest point was Yue Feiyue Wudi, the deputy capital of the Shenwu Changsheng Army stationed at the third pass of Yanmen.  Over this period of time, Yue Fei lost a lot of weight, and the lines on his face became more distinct like a knife and an axe.  The dark patch on the chin is full of thick and short fibrous roots.  When I was in Yandi, I still had some youthful appearance, but it has completely faded away.  The feeling of depression has not diminished slightly.  Suddenly one of the bodyguards pointed to the east: "General, here we come." Yue Fei turned his head to the east and saw a group of about ten riders meandering towards him in the snow and dust.  The howling wind from the mountains pulled their cloaks high.  Not long after, they saw this group of people approaching, and the first person in front was none other than Zhen Liuchen.  Iron armor and fur hat, wrapped tightly.  The generals and personal guards who followed were all from Diao Mao City or Shenwu Changsheng Army, and were the most confidant and trustworthy people.  Yue Fei rode down and followed them.  Zhen Liuchen saluted on the horse: "General Yue." Yue Fei looked calm and returned the salute without saying much.  Zhen Liuchen twitched the corner of his mouth but didn't say much.  Although Yue Fei was guarding the three passes, he paid no attention to what Zhen Liuchen was doing on the border.  But how could Zhen Liuchen not know that Yue Fei was extremely reluctant to lead his troops across the Song Dynasty?  Being able to hold back from sending out troops to cause a massive confrontation is a sign that Yue Fei followed Xiao Yan's orders and tried his best to control his temper.  In the past, Zhen Liuchen didn't take Yue Fei's attitude seriously. Anyway, he was just a general of Guo Rong's family.  If you don¡¯t care about the wealth and honor in the Song Dynasty, what do you think of General Yue?  Even if Yue Fei wanted to take action, it would be a good time to measure how capable Yue Wudi, who was rumored to be, was.  In the past, Yue Fei was at Yanmen Pass, and Zhen Liuchen was at Fanzhi.  Zhen Liuchen was too lazy to write or write letters.  Everyone was doing their own thing under Xiao Yan's overall arrangement.  If they really want to meet, Yue Fei is so rude, Zhen Liuchen can just turn around and leave.  But today is no different than before. Now the Jurchen soldiers are advancing deep into the states in Yunnei!  Miss Yingzhou is isolated by the Jurchen army and horses. Who knows how many days she can last?  After Zhen Liuchen learned about the military situation coming from the Yunnan states, his first reaction was to send troops northward to keep the eldest lady safe regardless of his own death.  But after all, Zhen Liuchen was a general who had experienced countless battles, and he still knew that the military situation was dangerous and that he should not act in accordance with Meng Lang's actions.  Currently, the number of soldiers and horses under his command has expanded to more than 4,000 regular troops, and twice that of the auxiliary troops.  It seems to be a very powerful force.  But in terms of quality, the backbone still relies on the two to three hundred people transferred from the Shenwu Changsheng Army, and the seven to eight hundred troops transferred from Tanzhou.  The rest of the troops captured from the Yunnan states, although there are many, can be said to be very powerful, such as the remnants of the Liao army collected in Yingzhou.  But after all, the soldiers' hearts were not completely attached to them, their equipment was not very complete, and their control was not as good as an arm's length.  The Jurchen soldiers and horses are so powerful that they stand at the pinnacle of this era. With such a miscellaneous army and horses, even if they go north, what can they accomplish?  Once a battle is fought, there is only defeat.  Maybe it would strengthen the Jurchen army and make it more difficult to deal with them.  "And if the officers and soldiers who are the backbone of the army want to go north alone, they will not listen to him at all.  For such a big event, if Han Shizhong and Yue Fei were not allowed to plan and issue orders, Zhen Liuchen would not be able to pull him out alone!  News that the Jurchens suddenly went south came from the north. Even though Zhen Liuchen was anxious and worried about what happened to Miss Yingzhou, he could only restrain himself.  Just one letter after another was sent to Yue Fei, who was closest to him, strongly requesting that he could lead his army to the north first. Even if he could not rush directly to Yingzhou, he could at least threaten the Jurchen army going south and reduce the pressure on Yingzhou.  Because of this, Yue Fei no longer disliked him, and Zhen Liuchen did not say a word. He made up his mind that he must show a respectful posture today.  Yue Fei's eyes crossed Zhen Liuchen's and fell on the generals who came with Zhen Liuchen.  Several generals are naturally from the Shenwu Changsheng Army.  Even if he was brought from Tanzhou, he had heard of Yue Wudi¡¯s power.??.  One by one, they straightened their backs on horseback, gathered their spirits, and saluted with folded hands: "I have seen General Yue." In the Shenwu Ever-victorious Army, although Han Shizhong is the commander-in-chief, Yue Fei is the deputy commander-in-chief.  But the generals were afraid of Yue Fei. In other words, they almost respected and feared him.  It doesn't change at all just because Yue Fei is still young.  "Everyone must be the first in battle. Under military discipline, no one is immune. Yue Fei is simple and hard-working, and he has always been the best in the army.  And with Xiao Yan's unconditional support and respect, how could such a general be seen as awe-inspiring when placed in the army?  And Han Shizhong's status is more aloof. Sometimes Yue Fei's methods are too tough, but he can also play a role in making a final change.  And among the generals who came from the Western Army, they were more senior and more able to control the situation.  He is more suitable to be the head coach than Yue Fei.  Moreover, Po Han Wu's reputation for fighting in battle is no worse than that of Yue Fei.  And Han Shizhong was the commander-in-chief, and he let Yue Fei do what he wanted in matters such as management of the army and raising military discipline, and rarely refuted Yue Fei's opinions.  With the support of Xiao Yan and Han Shizhong, Yue Fei's nascent general spirit was fully demonstrated.  Sharpen the ever-victorious army of Shenwu to a razor-sharp edge.  Xiao Yan had a strong army to rely on in a few years, and he had a lot of power from Yue Fei.  And because of Xiao Yan and the others, Yue Fei was able to show off his unparalleled demeanor as a famous general at a young age!  "The meeting of such a heroic man may bring about a change in the situation, which may not happen once in a hundred years."  Yue Fei glanced at the generals coldly, and the hairs on their bodies all stood up, and then they heard Yue Fei's serious question: "Lead thousands of riders across the land east of the river, descend to Fanzhi, shake Daizhou, and frighten Taiyuan.  Isn't it very enjoyable?" The generals looked at each other and didn't dare to answer.  Who doesn't know that Yue Fei is full of resentment towards Xiao Xianmo's arrangement, but as an ordinary general, how can he dare to say a word on such a major matter?  Some people are still lamenting in their hearts: "If General Yue has any resentment, just throw it away at Xiao Xianmo. Anyway, Xiao Xianmo values ??you, General Yue, and just listens to everything he says with a smile. We all respect you sincerely."  What are you doing to the little general who ordered us to do this" Yue Fei asked coldly: "When I brought troops into the territory of Hedong in the Song Dynasty, did I harass the people? Did I commit any rape or robbery?  "The generals are full of cleverness. If anyone dares to do this, it will be fatal in Yue Fei's hands!"  At that moment, everyone was solemn and bowed to report back: "Return to General Yue, we dare to guarantee it with our heads. Since entering the Song Dynasty, we have slept with one eye open, for fear of violating military law and disturbing the people of the Song Dynasty.  It happened Thousands of new recruits in the army did not know that we were originally officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and there were also military violations. However, after investigation and punishment, they were all punished and thought that we were here as a warning to the whole army!  The superiors have already tried their best and dare not slack off! " They said this with great confidence. Now that the main force of the Fu Liao Army's southward movement is in Fanzhi, it can be said that there is no offense in Qiu, and the city is secure.  Regardless of whether it is Fanzhi or Sixiang, wherever there is a garrison, there are inspection teams going back and forth, making everyone nervous. There has always been a zero-tolerance policy for military violations.  Originally, even if the quality of the Liao army was good, once the military orders and restrictions were tightened, the image of a strong army would become somewhat strong. Any strong army would start with strict military orders.  Yue Fei snorted and said coldly: "Of course I will send people to investigate. I have always acted like this, and you all know very well. Don't let this happen in my hands!" All the generals bowed together and made up their minds to go back and comb the grate.  Once again, Yue Wudi already had another nickname, Yue Yanluo!  Zhen Liuchen patiently waited for Yue Fei to finish beating the generals, and then he said: "General Yue, about the Jurchens going south in Yunnei" Yue Fei looked back at Zhen Liuchen and said lightly: "It's not for the Jurchens to go south.  "How could I come to see General Zhen?" Zhen Liuchen forced a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, General Yue, for coming"  Among them, there are enough capable troops to pick out two thousand, and the war horses and equipment are not too short. As long as General Yue has more support, there are still four to five thousand elite troops under his command.  If you leave enough troops and horses to garrison, you can also send out two thousand troops. The troops are also strong enough to deter the Jurchen troops going south. As long as you contact Yingzhou, the Jurchen troops who go deep will not make much waves.  "" Yue Fei asked coldly: "How many Jurchen troops are there in the south? In such weather, they can cross dangerous terrain and penetrate deep into the clouds. It is easy to see how strong the Jurchen troops are. Each way is only two thousand."  The Jurchen Tatars gathered their troops in one place and attacked one army and then the other. Are we sending our troops into the jaws of the Jurchen Tatars?" Zhen Liuchen was speechless.  The specific strength of the Jurchen army and horses has not yet been reported from Wang Gui.  The latest military intelligence obtained??Wang Gui has already rushed to the front line of Shuozhou.  But as Yue Fei said, the Jurchen army and horses suddenly appeared. With such weather and terrain, it was obvious how powerful this army and horses were if they dared to go deep alone.  If they divide their forces and advance, it is very likely that the Jurchen Tatars will defeat them one by one.  But what else can be done?  Guo Rong is in Yingzhou! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army generals, to be more careful, if you lead the army, it is best to wait for the main force of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army in Taiyuan Prefecture to mobilize northward.  It is the safest principle to gather troops in one place, have complete military reserves, rely on three passes and two days, and gradually move northward.  It goes without saying that if you advance lightly and end up defeated, you will lose troops and generals, your position as the leader will be shaken, you will be blamed for your crimes, and you will continue to be denounced. Whose responsibility does this belong to?  Moreover, having a strong army for the general is capital, so how can you risk losing the strength of your own men?  "And even if they go north, Zhen Liuchen naturally knows that it is best for the Fu Liao Army and the Shenwu Changsheng Army to join forces. Concentrating military strength will only have advantages and few disadvantages.  However, the current situation between the Fuliao Army and the Shenwu Changsheng Army was arranged by Xiao Yan.  In what name did they, generals, arbitrarily unite the Shenwu Changsheng Army and the Fu Liao Army together?  Who knows what use Xiao Yan would use to restore the Liao army?  Who can afford to win the battle without merit, and to act without authorization and shake his position in Xiao Yan's mind?  "And the news about Bianliang has not yet reached the three passes of Yanmen. Who knows the success or failure of Xiao Yan's actions in Bianliang.  Who knows if Hedong Road still needs to raise the bandits to respect themselves.  The Jurchen Tatars went south and penetrated deeply into Yunnei, thereby destroying the overall situation and implicating Xiao Yan in Bianliang.  This is the foundation that shakes this group!  No matter from which point of view, Yue Fei has no reason to easily raise his troops and go north.  To be honest, the Yunnei states were separated from the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, so what would happen if they were destroyed.  However, without Han Yue¡¯s nod, even the main force of the Liao Army could not lead them northward!  Zhen Liuchen had countless thoughts in his mind and finally said in a deep voice: "The eldest lady of the Guo family is in Yingzhou. Lord General Yue, you also know the relationship between Xiao Xianmo and Miss Guo" At this time, the only choice was between Xiao Yan and  Guo Rong's affection overwhelmed Yue Fei.  This sentence naturally offended Yue Fei greatly, and there was no room for change.  But what else could Zhen Liuchen do?  Yue Fei¡¯s face indeed darkened.  The surrounding personal guards and generals were all as silent as a cicada.  Yue Fei looked sharply at Zhen Liuchen.  And Zhen Liuchen also held on, looking back without giving in at all.  " As a woman, I will never treat my subordinates lightly. Even if Xiao Xianmo is here, I will say this. General Zhen, you used these words to suppress Yue, but Yue looked down on you.  " Yue Fei's cold words were as cold as the weather.  Zhen Liuchen swallowed his mouth full of bitterness and shook his head slightly: "Come on, I will go north alone. I don't need the two generals Han and Yue to nod. I will pay for it with my life. I met General Guo and my brother underground and confessed.  You have to go General Yue, I don't dare to delay your wealth, so I'll leave now!" Yue Fei raised his hand coldly, stopping Zhen Liuchen's movements.  "Bring out the Fu Liao army to the third pass of Yanmen and ask for surrender. I will assemble the entire army and head north within a few days. Go to aid Yingzhouat least divide the Jurchen Tatar troops and use them to  He didn't dare to use all his strength to force Yingzhou." Zhen Liuchen was already preparing to turn around and leave, but now his whole movements suddenly froze, and he looked at Yue Fei as if he couldn't believe it.  This means that Yue Fei has put all the responsibility on himself!  The situation arranged by Xiao Yan to revive the Liao army was also broken by Yue Fei.  Once any unexpected consequences occur, Yue Fei will be responsible for them all!  Is this just because of Xiao Yan's affection for Guo Rong?  Yue Fei was surrounded by the general's personal guards. They were all moved, and they all exhorted in unison: "General Yue, it is better to wait for the order from General Han in Taiyuan and the news from Xiao Xianmo in Bianliang before taking action!" Yue Fei's face was as iron as iron, and he shook his head and said:  "I can't wait any longer. If Yingzhou comes down, the door will be open. The Jurchen Tatar army will penetrate deep into Yunnei, and there will be no resistance. The states in Yunnei are also the old frontiers of the Song Dynasty! The Jurchen Tatars can protect Yingzhou and go south alone.  , at least half of them can be left, so that the Jurchen Tatars no longer dare to peek into the clouds. How many strong troops can be trained in a few years before they can truly fight against the Jurchen Tatars!"  He persuaded: "Bianliang Xiao Xianmo's big plan" Yue Fei waved his hand fiercely: "Xiao Xianmo's big plan is also to enable us to better kill the Tatars! Now that the Tatars are coming to our door, how can we not fight? Should the Jurchens be allowed to do so?  Have the Tatars been suppressed until the third pass? If they are allowed to break into the Song Dynasty, how can they resist the Jurchen army and horses in front of them? The only way to gain these few years is to attack them one at a time!  , But if there is any responsibility, one of us will bear it!" Having said this, the generals did not dare to speak any more. ?Everyone just bowed their heads.  General Yue, you can't bear the consequences Zhen Liuchen suddenly turned over and dismounted, and prostrated himself in the snow: "General Yue, you are so kind and kind, I thank you on behalf of Miss Guo! I just risked my life.  , I also want to explain to General Yue in front of Xiao Xianmo Even Miss Guo will never forget General Yue's kindness" Yue Fei sat upright on the horse with a calm expression: "  My actions are not for the sake of the Song Dynasty! I also believe that Xiao Xianmo brought us out because he wanted to protect the Tatars in Yingzhou  Anyone else said they were underestimating meZhen Liuchen will bring the Fu Liao Army within two days, please surrender outside Yanmen Pass!" After saying that, he turned around on his horse and walked in the snow flying all over the sky.  Leave in the dust.  The personal guards around him immediately followed closely.  Zhen Liuchen and the generals who came with him stared blankly at Yue Fei's back, unable to say a word for a long time.  Everyone is in agitated mood, even Yue Fei himself, how can he find peace in his heart?  He knew that he was single-handedly promoted by Xiao Yan, and that Xiao Yan had a life-saving grace for him.  His actions, without knowing the situation in Bianliang, are very likely to destroy Xiao Yan's plan.  "We can't let the Jurchen Tatars open up the Yingzhou road, sweep through the Yunnan states, and press directly in front of the Da Song River East Road If we don't defeat this lone army as soon as possible.  Yingzhou fell, and the Jurchen army gathered southward.  Then influence the Jurchen army and horses in Yandi.  Is the military of the Song Dynasty still worthy of question?  Xiao Xianmo should be able to understand me Xiao Xianmo has never let me down, right?  Yue Fei looked south, his face complex.  "Xiao Xianmo, I am a minister of the Song Dynasty and a general of the Song Dynasty. It is also the Song Dynasty that I want to serve!"  In Taiyuan Mansion, the night is already dark.  The hustle and bustle in the city never abated.  After Han Shizhong ordered his troops to gather together, he didn't know how many generals were busy in Taiyuan Mansion at the moment.  Lead military resources, gather civilians, and wither equipment.  We need to be ready in just two days to go north at any time.  Everyone wishes they had eight arms and eight legs.  I don¡¯t know how many passers-by are heading south and north at the moment.  Spread the layout of Taiyuan to the north, and spread the military information from the north to the south.  After learning that Bianliang Xiaoyan had already mastered a considerable amount of the court situation, his position was temporarily stable.  Han Shizhong naturally dared to go north with confidence, and he must go north as soon as possible.  If the Jurchen Tatars are allowed to break through Yunnei and break into Hedong, I don't know how many variables will happen to Xiao Yan's overall situation.  There is nothing wrong with concentrating our troops to go north to respond.  The entire Hedong Road must be fully mobilized to support the main force of the Shenwu Evervictorious Army heading north.  Wu Min was also busy for a long time, cooperating with Han Shizhong to issue orders one after another.  At this time, it was only possible to take a short rest. Lu Cunzhong, a close aide, personally carried a lantern and sent Wu Min to the inner courtyard to rest.  Neither of them spoke a word and walked in silence in the night. After a while, they arrived at the door of the inner courtyard.  Lu Cunzhong handed the lantern to Wu Min to accompany him, and said softly: "Appease" Wu Min waved his hand: "No need to say more, just try your best to cooperate with General Han." Lu Cunzhong wanted to say something else, but Wu Min ignored him and continued.  Without thinking, he walked into the inner courtyard.  He did not go to rest in the concubine's place that had come to Taiyuan. Instead, he went into the inner study and gently ordered his confidants: "Prepare refreshing drinks and pens and ink. No one is allowed to go near the study."  Wu Min, who had been accompanying Wu Min for a long time, knew that the Prime Minister had a confidential letter to write, so he hurriedly responded to the order, sent Wu Min to the study to settle down, and quickly arranged all the relevant matters.  Under the light of the lamp, Wu Min sat at his desk, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone spread out in front of him, and remained motionless for a long time.  I thought that with this sudden change in the situation in the court, Xiao Yan was already firmly established.  With his skills and ability, he will be able to run the business for several years and it will be stable.  Although relying on Xiao Yan is unwilling, it is not an option.  But now it seems that Xiao Yan's foundation is not yet solid, and he is about to face a sudden storm!  What can you do yourself?  Having failed so many times in Xiao Yan¡¯s hands, even if he saw an opportunity, would he still dare to do something?  The golden drum of Hedong is already sounding.  And the dispute that affected the Song Dynasty began a new round.  And the danger and intensity are more than a hundred times greater than before?  How do you deal with yourself in it?
