Chapter Forty-One: Han Yue Gathers
Everyone knows that Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and Tang Huai, who is slightly less famous, are both Yue Fei's standard country brothers. They were born in Tangyin and grew up together since childhood.
It is said that Yue Fei was a tenant of the plum blossom Han family back then, and his family was the worst. However, some people were chosen sons of God, with their own halo. Both brothers died young, but when he arrived, he was born with divine power, as if some gods helped him, and his martial arts were learned for a long time. The happy teacher Zhou Tong asserted that this son would become a great man. After joining the army, he soon became the bravest man of the three armies. He could not be said to be a brave general in all directions.
Not only that, he was a martial arts master, but he had to do some farm work from time to time when he was young, and he could only take time to read and read by chance. However, it was like Nuwa who was making a human, and he could write a thousand-word book for the official at the age of 24. What is this level? Not to mention how he could still write "Pingjin Ce" after a few years! In the words of the officers in the brothers' army, Yue Wei King was a natural cultural person.
So it is natural that Wang Gui and others have been accustomed to being alone in following the leader since childhood, which means that the legendary recognition of the elder brother. What Wang Gui admires even more is that Yue Fei also has shortcomings, but when facing the broken mountains and rivers, he self-examination and grows rapidly. For example, when he was young, his personality was much more irritable and stubborn than now. Now who doesn’t say that Marshal Yue’s personal ethics is beyond his humble character?
At least five years ago, Wang Gui thought he was the one who was most trusted and trusted among his brothers. Not to mention the achievements of Yanling's rescue and defeating Li Cheng's pseudo-Qi, at the beginning, Zhang Xian and the others were still young, and Wang Gui accompanied Yue Fei to recruit soldiers who were set up for the attack on Liao. He was a soldier under the command of the famous minister Liu Wei (the father of the prime minister Liu Ziyu). Later, he was driven out several times and joined the army again.
It can be said that since I was young, I learned riding and shooting skills from my mentor Zhou Tong. After growing up, I started from local archers and went around everywhere. My brothers have been supporting each other and never left each other.
Today, when Lu Dayou mentioned that he had a quarrel with Wang Yan, Wang Gui even more reminded of what Yue Fei said when he decided to return to Henan to fight against the Jin Dynasty, "At this time, he had to go home for three days, five days, and March and May, he had to be driven out by the Jin people like a chicken and a dog, and then he would be slaughtered by the Jin people. That would not be really going home. But if you want to go home, there is only one way, that is, you have to drive out the Jin people completely, and even to attack them in the opposite direction! But if you really want to drive the Jin people away, you have also seen and heard that there must be a regular king army like the Jin people who can come with a force of 100,000 or 200,000 troops!"
"If we want to have such a large army, we will have to be unable to fall into the Song Dynasty and the government will have nothing to do! Otherwise, we will have nowhere to find military equipment! So if we want to go home at this time, we can only go south! But others don't understand, but you must understand it no matter what, otherwise we, Yue Fei, will be really out of arms!" (These two paragraphs are quoted from the original text and have been slightly changed)
He didn't remember what Wang Gui said at that time, but he just felt that he could not let down his brother's unique trust. Also, when he went south the next day, Zhang Xian, who was about to roll around, was tied to the horse by the indifferent Tang Huai, and then pressed it on the ferry with his own hands. At that time, he was really a slut.
When Wang Gui remembered it, the moon was lonely outside, and he drank a cup alone, but the corner of his mouth was smiling unconsciously. When did this impatient and even a little coquettish little brother start to look at him? It should have been because of the time when Yue Fei's uncle Yao Wang wanted to assassinate his nephew and was discovered by him in time. From then on, he raided back to Tokyo, the Battle of Yaoshan, and the suppression of bandits in Hunan. Everyone could see Zhang Xian's growth, and Wang Gui gradually realized that Zhang was the closest brother to his elder brother, whether it was his ability to learn and improve himself or his moral character.
More importantly, the government attaches greater importance to Zhang Xian.
What Yue Fei wanted was to return my country, and for this reason he was not afraid of death, and his wealth and beauty had no love. He even made a move that gave up Tokyo, which was equivalent to political suicide. Wang Gui said that if any emperor of Empress Qin Shi, Yue Fei would have to be a demoted official. But his elder brother was lucky and met the current official family, and he was wholeheartedly protecting him. He even said that in the future, the front army of the Imperial Camp would be the national mobile elite unit, which was the trump card held by the Song Dynasty, so what Yue Fei had to do now was to train elite troops based on this decision.
Wang Gui can also say that he is not afraid of death, but he cannot guarantee that he is selfless. So gradually, Yue Fei relies more on Zhang Xian who is close to his thinking. The Jurchens actually have some inaccuracies in the information. There is indeed a little unpleasantness between him and Yue Fei, but it cannot be said that he is a disagreement. After the destruction of the Western Xia Kingdom, Yue Fei enjoys the treatment of a prince as the commander. The people under them are so popular. Wang Gui's nephew is willing to make money and cheat with his reputation. As a result, it falls into the hands of Zhang Jun, the King of Qi. Fortunately, he did not join the army and the amount is not large, otherwise he would not have to wait for Wang Gui to reap people. Yue Fei really knows military law to deal with it.
Although Wang Gui was punished and drove away later, he obviously knew that his brother was unhappy. He was tolerated because of his status and did not want the turmoil of the front army. In fact, he would rather be scolded and kicked as he did back then. After that, he would still be a good brother.
But after all, it is different. Even if they remain unchanged, the times will force them to change. The reality is that no matter what, Yue Fei offended the Tokyo nobles too ruthlessly, and it is not easy for the government to protect them until now. So once the restructuring is completed next year, 90% of him will step down as the chief commander of the Imperial Camp, and will be the deputy envoy of the Privy Council like King Qin of Han.
Whether out of public or selfish, for power or for the sake of the country, Wang Gui also wanted to take over this real power control. After the Battle of Huolu, the officials did not know how to consider it. He and Zhang Xian were not in the Eighteen Kings, but in order to repay the merits, they were each granted the title of Jiedu. Wang Gui was the Jiedushi in Wuwei Army, and Zhang Xian was the Jiedushi in Chengde Army.
In the Song Dynasty before Jingkang, this was almost the lifelong pursuit of all warriors, but now with the imperial camp army of the government winning battles and regaining the mountains and rivers, who doesn’t know that the commander-in-chief is the real top military general.
Wang Gui got up and turned around again. It was really the stove on the desk that was warm, but the smell was so scented. He thought to himself that he was not the general, because the secret letter system established by the official was well operated, which made the originally chaotic high-level military system of the Song Dynasty clear, and the level of the commander and the commander clearly stood out, forming a stable level between the commander and the commander. The illiterate peddlers and pawns on the roadside, and the ignorant children knew that the commander of the Imperial Camp was a real high-ranking official.
This is also the institutional basis for Zhang Xian to be directly promoted to the throne as a commander. The question now is, what did Zhang Xian think? Does he want to surpass himself and become the youngest handsome minister?
Wang Gui thought about it all night long, and waited until around the third o'clock in the morning to sleep. Deep down, he did not think that seeking this governor was a betrayal of Yue Fei. Many things in the army were invisible. One day, even if Yue Fei could come back and lead the front army of the imperial camp, no one dared to say anything?
Haven't you seen Han Shizhong from Yanjing who found Wang Sheng, the deputy commander of the left army of the Imperial Camp, without saying a word. After beating, he scolded two cups of tea. On the same day, he was taken to Shizhou to apologize to a scholar who was bullied by him.
Jie Yuan, the current commander of the left army of the Imperial Camp, watched from the side, without any objection, and asked the King of Qin to inspect the old troops.
But he didn't know that on the same day, King Qin of Han got up early to avoid Hu Yin and Hu, who was in short supply of construction funds, came to work with Yue Fei, who was working here for business, and began to play military chess "invented" by the official family. He was about to lose, but he was still a rogue and deliberately disturbed Yue Fei's thoughts, "I said Xiao Yue, who will you give to, Wang Gui or Zhang Xian, there are speculations in the army! How long has I been here, I heard a lot of people gossiping."
Yue Fei paused his hand, then he fell steadily and said, "This is not something that the ministers should think about, the official family has its own holy dictator." Then he drank a cup of tea and made another move, and said, "Brother Han Wu, I promised it, I won."
Han Shizhong was stunned and then became angry and said, "Okay, you big and small eyes, I don't know how to let my old brother, thanks to everyone, you are humble and polite, not like a warrior!"
It's so good that my little brother Yue was anxious. He was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that others could not beat him, otherwise he would not be as good as he is today.
Yue Fei was not angry either. He had a deep friendship with Han Shizhong, but sometimes he could be convinced that he could be ashamed of the same. What's more, Han Shizhong, if he really recognized you, he would be like a friend and would be snatched by him from now on without seeing Hu Yin's righteousness. Even Hu Yin was like this, let alone Yue Fei, who truly achieved "civil officials do not love money, and military officials do not hesitate to die"? It would be strange if he didn't meet him. He must be brothers and brothers at the moment. What's more, Yue Fei knew that the eldest brother in the army liked to show off, so let this be. But this matter was exceptional. He said lightly: "Since the official has given him a name for military chess and has learned from actual combat, how can he give in to the army? As a military force, how can he give in a little?"

The short knife unearthed in Changge City proves to be a famous general of Song Dynasty, Han Shizhong
Recently, Mr. Wang, a high-ranking official, found a short knife in his family's old house. After contacting archaeologists from the Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Social Sciences, professionals said that its appearance looks very similar to the standard in the early Northern Song Dynasty, but it is already rust and needs further identification.
After experts restore it, it can be confirmed through the above text and historical records that this knife is owned by Han Shizhong, the leader of the founding hero of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Associate researcher at the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, introduced that this knife should be made of arrows. After chemical decomposition, it can be seen from above that the four words "Gold Slashing Wushu" are not superb in creation, so it is difficult to preserve.
According to the history of the Song Dynasty, in the second year of Jianyan in the Northern Song Dynasty, Han Shizhong was ordered to help Dongze from Huaixi (now Bianliang) to stay in Zongze. When he was passing through Changge, he encountered Jin Wushu ambush. Because of insufficient cavalry, he had to break through bravely and enter Changshe City to defend. After a fierce battle, the military doctor took more than 50 Jurchen arrows from him. Han Shizhong ordered people to make it into a short knife, saying that he would cut Jin Wushu with a bayonet sooner or later. Perhaps because of this, the casting was relatively rough. But later Jin Wushu was killed by Song Shizu.
According to Mr. Wang, his ancestors were once soldier Han Shizhong, and it is likely that he gave it to him. His ancestors have always been kept as treasures, and they hid them in the war because they were afraid of being melted. At present, experts are proof of whether this knife is considered a cultural relic. (Guangming Daily, June 18, reporter Bao Yuedan)
