Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

After Han Shizhong and Yue Fei became brothers, they stopped looking for Ding Jin to cause trouble, and Zong Zeer's roots were finally much cleaner.Soon after, the imperial court ordered him to return to Yangzhou.Before leaving, Yue Fei sent him out of the city gate and told him carefully: "Brother will be reused when he returns to the south this time. If nothing happens, it will be fine. If the court orders you to station troops in Huaiyang to ward off the Jin army, you need to pay more attention." . When Nianhan knows that his brother is guarding Huaiyang, he will divide his troops and go to Yangzhou to force the emperor, and he will fight with his brother with a large army. Then the brother must be careful. If he is defeated, he must retreat quickly and do not travel at night, otherwise I'm afraid of being harmed." Han Shizhong nodded in agreement.

After Han Shizhong returned to the south, the imperial court granted him the title of deputy general manager of Yanyan Road, general of Jiaping Kouzuo, stationed in Huaiyang, and joined forces with Shandong troops to resist the enemy.When Nianhan heard about it, he actually raised an army to invade. Han Shizhong was defeated and led him back at night. As a result, Nianhan unexpectedly missed his route and chased him along the way. Han Shizhong's army was defeated in Muyang. Fortunately, his general Zhang was killed in the battle and escaped with his life. Zhang Yu fought hard and died for his country.From then on, Han Shizhong came to know Yue Fei's clever plan and regretted what he said at that time, which will not be mentioned later.

But here it was said that it was already summer, and the Jin army could not bear the scorching heat and retreated one after another. Zongze then mobilized various troops to recover various counties and counties, and returned all the land in Henan to the Song army.At this time, the war between the Song and Jin armies took a break and entered a short rest period.

On this day, Yue Fei was in the camp, and suddenly a personal guard came to report, saying: "Now the generals from all over the country are here to discuss important matters with the adults who are left behind. Please go and discuss the matter."

Yue Fei hurried to the lobby. Before he entered the courtyard, he saw a familiar figure walking through the door.Yue Fei said happily: "General Wang, are you okay?"

When the man heard the call, he turned around and saw that it was Yue Fei. He also walked over with a smile and hugged Yue Fei. It turned out that the general who came was Wang Yan. After the two exchanged greetings, Wang Yan asked: "This time Is there any difference between returning to the clan and staying under the clan’s command?”

Yue Fei smiled and said: "It's all thanks to the general's willingness to let go that Pengju can meet his mentor. But this time it's no different from before, he just acts as a unified leader under his mentor."

At this time, all the other generals had entered the hall, and Wang Yan also took Yue Fei inside to discuss matters.When all the generals were seated, Zongze ordered someone to hang up the map. He held a bamboo stick in his hand, pointed at the map and said: "Thank you all for coming here to discuss important matters recently. I am very grateful to you. Now that the Jin army has retreated, it is time to take advantage of the map." At this time, the lost territory in the two rivers will be recovered. Therefore, after careful study, I formed a strategy and discussed it with you."

After saying that, Zongze pointed with the bamboo stick in his hand and said: "Wang Yan, you lead the Eight-Character Army under your command to cross the Yellow River from Huazhou to the north and restore Huai, Wei, Jun, and Pingzhou. Ma expanded the troops to Damingfu and captured Mingfu. , Zhao Erzhou and Zhending Prefecture; Yang Jin, Wang Shan, Ding Jin and other troops marched together. Once the army crosses the river, the people in the two rivers must respond in large numbers and use the people as soldiers to drive away the Jin army from Yanyun. Land. If our army is victorious, then the Western Liao, Western Xia, Gaoli and other countries will definitely rise up to attack the Jin Kingdom. By then, the Central Plains will be safe. Do you think this plan is feasible?"

After some discussion, the generals below all believed that this plan was feasible, and Wang Yan even said happily: "That day I gathered a hundred thousand heroes in the Taihang Mountains. If we can conquer the Central Plains in one battle and return the people to their homes, then Wang Yan will be proud." Returning to my hometown.”

Yue Fei, on the other hand, was unhappy. Although he knew that Zongze's plan was excellent, and if he could follow it, all the land in the Central Plains would be recovered, but he also knew that the two treacherous ministers Huang and Wang would never allow this plan to be implemented. , and Zhao Gou would never let Zongze offend the Jin people like this.Because of this incident, Zongze became depressed and fell ill, and eventually died without treatment, leaving him unhappy.

After the generals discussed the details of the matter and dispersed, Zongze stopped Yue Fei and asked, "Pengju, I saw you feeling unhappy today. You seemed to have something on your mind. But is there something wrong with my plan?"

Yue Fei hurriedly said: "My teacher's plan is very good. If we can follow the plan, the Central Plains will be restored. But the students are worried about the obstruction of traitors and the disapproval of the Holy Spirit, so they are not happy."

Zongze sighed and said: "This is also the last time I will serve the Holy One with my loyal words. If the Holy One does not allow this, then I should listen to your words and retreat bravely." After saying that, he turned and left.

That night, Zongze frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind. He wrote in a memorial letter, saying: "I stayed in the capital, worked hard all night, and planned the army. According to the reports from various roads, the enemy's strength was very poor. We can march into the army. I want to take advantage of this summer month and send Wang Yan and others to cross the river from Huazhou to take places such as Huai, Wei, Jun, and Xiang. I send Wang Zaixing and others from Zhengzhou to directly protect the Xijing mausoleum. I send Ma Kuan and others to take the great names of Ming, Zhao, and Zhen Ding, Yang Jin, Wang Shan, Ding Jin, Li Gui and other leaders will advance in separate ways with their troops. Once they have crossed the river, there will be no less than a million loyal people in the village, and the Khitan Han will also work together to resist the Jin people. . Things are in order. I begged the imperial court to send envoys to declare that after establishing Khitan Tianzuo, he said that it would be good to look back on the old. The rise and fall of the continuation was the first step of the king's government to return to the heart of the world. This situation shocked the Jin people and helped each other. Er Xie? Still begging to send some knowledgeable and eloquent people to send Xia to the west and Korea to the east. This is a blessing and misfortune. The two countries have always been favored by me, Song Dynasty, and they will send troops to help and sweep together. If so, the two saints will return. During the period of Luan, the two rivers can be settled, and your majesty's contribution to the revival will be far greater than that of Zhou Xuan. I hope that your majesty will return the imperial edict of Luan as soon as possible to tie the hearts of the world. I should bow down and risk the stone to be the first for all generals." Zong Ze finished writing the memorial in one go, sealed it with fire paint, and ordered it to be sent to Emperor Gaozong of Yangzhou at night.

A few days later, the memorial arrived in Yangzhou. At that time, Huang Qianshan was the left prime minister and Wang Boyan was the right prime minister. The two thieves controlled the government.After receiving Zongze's memorial, Wang Boyan said: "Zongze has made great achievements in guarding Tokyo and liaising with Guanzhong. If the Holy Spirit believes his words at this time and allows him to march north, his achievements will be greater than heaven. Where will Mr. Huang and I stay?"

Huang Qianshan heard the words and nodded in agreement.So the two men went to the palace to meet the emperor, and slandered Emperor Gaozong: "Now Zongze is staying in Tokyo, gathering bandits from the two rivers, and controlling Guanzhong. The force is so large that it exceeds a million people. If he is given money and food, If they advance northward, the Central Plains can be restored. However, the so-called master of great achievements has defeated the Jin people in Tokyo, so that the people in Henan only know that there is Zongze, but not his majesty. If he gets the land of two rivers, Once the Central Plains is fully restored, people's hearts will surely become stronger. Don't you remember what happened at Chen Qiao?"

After Emperor Gaozong came to Yangzhou, he liked the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, so he was obsessed with it. He left all the affairs of the court to Huang and Wang, while he lived in the gentle countryside every day.Now when I heard Huang and Wang's words, I was frightened in my heart. I didn't know what to do for a moment, so I asked: "What the two ministers said is true, but how should I deal with this memorial?"

Huang Qianshan said: "He wrote back to Zongze, saying that for years of war and the calamity of Jingkang, the national treasury was empty and the people were poor. It was difficult to raise money and food for a while. The matter of advancing northward was put on hold for the time being and discussed after the autumn harvest. .What does the Holy One think?"

Emperor Gaozong was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Just follow your wishes!"

Soon Zongze received a reply. After reading it, he covered his face with tears and sighed: "I can't reach my goal!" That night, Zongze sat in the courtyard all night. The next day, he described himself as old, and then fell ill. Sorry.
