Chapter 34
I thought about it like a headless fly along the way, but when I arrived in Lin'an City, I received an order, and then I was able to explain my doubts.
When I saw Miao Fu and others, I looked like I was holding my wisdom beads again.
However, this group of generals, except for Yue Fei, showed uneasiness.
Miao Fu had the highest status and went forward to Qin Hui first and said, "The news came from the Shuyuan that the Jin soldiers and horses had gathered in various places in Hedong, and one of them was outside Tongguan. It seems that they were going to make a big move."
Qin Hui nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty also wrote an edict to me, so that I can quickly return to Chang'an."
After he said that, he kept his eyebrows silent, and the generals in the church couldn't figure out the depth.
If he was based on his words, the emperor attached great importance to his military talents, so he urged him to return to Beijing. In fact, the situation in Lin'an was just complicated, so Zhao Huan asked him to take Zhao Gou and others away earlier to stabilize the overall situation.
Miao Fu and others didn't know what to do, and they all congratulated him, thinking that being a Privy Council must be a matter of time in the morning and evening.
Qin Hui shook his head and waved his hand to stop everyone's compliment, and said, "Zhong Xiang, a rioter in Dingzhou, rose up and occupied the nineteen counties of Ding, Tan, Chen, Jingnan, and Yue in half a month. It was quite powerful. Li Pingzhang was shocked by Xiangyang, and it was unimaginable for a moment."
Miao and Liu had nothing to say, Yue Fei took a step forward and bowed: "In the Jinghu area, the Jin people have repeatedly harassed each other. Li Pingzhang has struggled to deal with foreign enemies. It is common sense that Zhong Xiang can't deal with the chaos in time."
Qin Hui glanced at him and replied lightly: "Yes, Your Majesty also means this. We are determined to set off quickly. Lin'an is still safe, so there is no need to stay too many soldiers. Miao and Liu, the two generals, quick-wielding the imperial camp troops. General Yue is also stationed in Lin'an to rectify the defeated soldiers of Liu Guangshi's troops."
These words were formal orders. Everyone stood up and bowed and replied, "Yes. Follow the orders of the Lord."
Miao Fu stepped forward and asked again: "Sir, are you going to see King Kang? The last general went to see him a few days ago. King Kang was unhappy, depressed and extremely thin. I heard from the people in the palace that King Kang had symptoms of night cough, so I would like to ask him to see him and relieve him."
Qin Hui knew in his heart that Zhao Gou was also a man who was the emperor and the struggle between power and tricks was the most cruel. He also understood that this time he went to Chang'an, it would be nice to ask, but it would be a bit ugly, but it was like a prisoner.
Qin Hui smiled maliciously and thought to himself: "I wonder if this King Kang will have the emotion of his family and country for 30 years, eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers."
In his heart, he said, "Your Majesty has a deep affection with King Kang. He is very concerned. King Kang is worried. I, as a minister, naturally, have to comfort me."
If it were during the Ming and Qing dynasties, ministers would naturally pay their respects to the princes as their top priority. However, the Song system was different, and the prime minister was still above the princes according to regulations. Therefore, Qin Hui came and went in a hurry last time and never met Zhao Gou.
When he mentioned Zhao Gou, he remembered something again.
He turned his head and said to Yue Fei: "Liu Guangshimen, how about the rectification?"
He had just given an order, but Yue Fei didn't know his meaning, so he had to answer in general: "There are many soldiers and hooligans in the Liu army. They have too many bad habits. I'm afraid it's difficult to use military discipline to restrain and rectify them."
"oh?"
When others get a large army, they only have the joy to be happy. The ancients fought. The most important thing about the number of soldiers and generals is that there are many soldiers but not the essence. There are only a few people who can truly understand this truth.
Yue Fei's words have shown that this person has extraordinary insights, not the kind of mediocre general who will eat the annexed army and be complacent.
Qin Hui thought of this and couldn't help but nodded, "Liu Guangshi is indeed leading troops like this. When I was in the north, I was disdainful to hear the Jin people mention him. Since the general knew it, it would be better to follow his own methods to rectify it."
He smiled and looked around the people, saying, "General Yue is the commander. How to deal with the soldiers under his jurisdiction is naturally his regulations, so I can't say more."
Yue Fei was happy when he got him, and smiled. He also said a few more military matters and then stepped down.
Qin Hui originally intended not to be here, so he said: "Then Liu Guangshi and his generals, His Majesty, have an order to execute him immediately. The last time I went to Lin'an, the matter was urgent, and the matter was not cut off."
As soon as this sentence came out, all the generals in the hall showed strange appearances. Some even dreamed of the generals who had bloody battles on the top of the city, and their bodies were covered in scars, and they actually showed the sadness of the dead rabbit and the fox.
There was no senior civil servant in the Song Dynasty, and it was common to execute generals. Although Liu Guangshi committed a serious crime of treason, he died without any worries. The generals were also a little worried about the different status of civil and military officials. Such a general was a little worried about killing him when he said that he was killed.
Qin Hui sneered, knowing the thoughts of these military generals. However, as a civil servant, Han empathized with them, so he told Yue Fei decisively: "General Yue was the commander of Zhejiang East and made great contributions to defeating Liu Guangshi. The general's destruction of this person will also be left to the general to do it."
Although Yue Fei's face was dull, he answered loudly, and he would definitely take this order.
Qin Hui explained this matter and urged Miao Liu and others to move to the camp and prepare, and set off with him at any time to Chang'an.
After the meeting, each general went to deal with military affairs. Yue Fei remembered that he wanted to mention Liu Guangshi to be executed, so he took his eldest son Yue Fei. Then he followed his personal soldiers and rode together to Xianzhong Temple where Liu Guangshi was imprisoned.
The Xianzhong Temple is located in a narrow place. Since Zhao Gou was imprisoned, it has been renamed Ruisheng Palace, leaving only fifteen eunuchs to serve the left and right. Outside the temple, Miao Fu and others sent heavy troops to guard it. Even when the city was at its tightest, they did not dare to transfer one soldier or another from here.
After Liu Guangshi was defeated and captured, he was also sent here and locked up in the temple for custody.
Yue Fei was quite unhappy when he received this mission. Although he looked down on an incompetent person like Liu Guangshi, the other party was a family of military generals and had made many contributions to the country and the people. This time, it cannot be said that he was really planning a rebellion, but he was just a mistaken person, and he had to do so.
With this kind of thought, he naturally had no objection to killing Liu Guangshi, but he was very unhappy to let him do it.
When he arrived outside the temple, he ordered someone to take the general order of Miao Fu. When the imperial soldiers in the guards made way, he dismounted at the mountain gate and walked.
He knew that Zhao Gou was also under house arrest, although the other party was no longer the emperor. He could not let go of this kind of respectful heart no matter what.
When they arrived at Liu Guangshi's residence, they were under heavy troops inside and outside the temple, Liu Guangshi and others were also free to move in the temple and did not really take charge. As soon as Yue Fei and others arrived, more than a dozen Liu generals were arrested. At Yue Fei's order, all the personal soldiers were tied up like wolves and tigers, and they first tied up all of these people.
Yue Fei asked at the present person: "Where is Liu Guangshi?"
The man knew that something was wrong today and replied in a trembling voice: "Mr. Liu was summoned by His Majesty to speak. He hasn't come back yet."
Seeing Yue Fei glaring at him, the man changed his words and said, "It was King Kang who summoned him!"
Before he finished speaking, a man with black face cursed angrily: "Hongshu is a dead man. If you call His Majesty King Kang, can they spare our lives?"
Seeing that the man who had just spoken was still trembling, the black-faced man showed disdain, spitted phlegm on the ground, and scolded: "Unfortunate, I'm a colleague of you. No wonder I'm going to let 10,000 defeat 50,000!"
Yue Fei's eldest son, Yue Yunnian, is twelve years old, but he is born with divine power and his size is no different from that of a young man. At this time, he was furious when he saw this black-faced man so arrogant. He stepped forward a few steps and broke the rope on the black-faced man's body with just two hands. Then he took two steps back, raised his face, and shouted: "That black man, will I fight you?"
The black-faced man jumped up, rubbed his sore arms tied, and looked at Yue Yun with a squinted look, "You want to fight me? Very good! Although I was captured, I was dissatisfied with one thousand and ten thousand. If you defeated me, I would not be wronged."
He asked again: "What's your name?"
Yue Yun had seen Yue Fei's face earlier, and when he saw that his father was not angry, he knew that he was doing the right thing, so he smiled and said, "Where are you in Yue Fei?"
The man looked at him again. Although he felt that the young general in front of him was not old, he thought he was a brother of the same clan of Yue Fei, so he replied, "My name is Wang De!"
Yue Yun's eyes lit up and he asked again: "But Wang De, who brought more than a hundred cavalry into the enemy territory and bravely captured the enemy's Grand Marshal?"
The other party knew his name, and Wang De was very proud, so he replied: "That's right!"
Yue Yun smiled slightly and said, "It turns out that Wang Yasha is you."
As soon as this sentence came out, not only did the personal soldiers under Yue Fei burst into laughter, but many of them were about to be executed and many of them smiled.
Wang De's face turned slightly red and he said furiously: "You want to play single with me, but you only insult me verbally, it's not what a good man did."
"Just fight, what weapon do you want to use?"
"Of course, it's a gun."
Yue Yun smiled and replied, "It's great, I'll use a gun too."
After saying that, he ordered someone to send two iron guns, took one first, weighed it in his hand, and smiled, "It's too light."
Wang De also took it. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but laugh at him: "At a young age, how old can he be, you dare to speak like this."
After saying that, he held his hands and found that it was cast iron all over, not a wax gun, but he was bent to Guanyuan. After trying this, he felt that the gun was very easy. He threw another gun flower and stabbed Yue Yun in the chest with a shot, shouting: "Look at the gun!"
Yue Yun was not panicked, and took a step back, and had already let the opponent's gun out. Then he gently hit the iron spear in his hand. There was a loud bang in the field. Wang De felt the huge pain in his hand and could no longer grasp it. He relaxed his hands and the iron spear had already flew into the air.
When he turned his head again, he saw the tip of the other party's gun pointing to his chest, and the tip of the gun was still trembling.
Looking at Yue Yun again, he was smiling at himself. The young face was nothing different, and it was obvious that he had enough energy to do it.
Wang De has always been proud of his courage, but at this moment he felt discouraged and said to Yue Yun: "General Yue's martial arts are amazing, Wang De feels inferior to himself. The defeated general will never dare to say that he is brave again."
After saying that, he cut his hands back and said in a deep voice: "Come on, tie it up."
Several personal soldiers stepped forward to tie him up again. Wang De felt sad and angry in his heart. He couldn't help but say to himself: "The great head has not died at the hands of the Jurchens, but was chopped down by his own people."
