Yue Fei's troops were preparing to enter the Central Plains after the autumn was in autumn. By midsummer in June, war horses from Guanzhong were also sent to Xiangyang camp. These 20,000 war horses were sent to Jin soldiers. They had nothing to do with the overall situation for the Jin Dynasty, but they were rare treasures for the Song army. These were all top-grade war horses among Mongolian horse breeds, one by one. They were tall and strong. Since they were obtained by the Song army, they were fed with essence and washed cleanly. When they even rushed to Xiangyang, the prefectures along the way did not dare to

The veterinary and veterinary corpses were drawn and carefully cared for in every possible way. They would rather get sick and be sick than be wronged. Therefore, when they were sent to Yue Fei's camp, they were fat and strong. Not only was Yue Fei happy to see it, but many generals and cavalry units in the camp were very happy. Yue Fei's military orders were strictly prohibited. Many generals wanted to change to a good horse mount, but they did not dare to open their mouths. They only watched that all the war horses were distributed to the cavalry army, allowing the ordinary knights to divide them all.

The Song army has always lacked horses, and often commanded generals rode horses to pull carts. Even Han Shizhong got a good horse, so he had to offer it to the emperor, saying that it was something that the ministers dared not take. Yue Fei's troops were able to get these warlike horses, which shows that the emperor and the Shufu were far above the tribes. So after the horses were distributed, Yue Fei did not care about the heat and personally tied up heavy armor, took Yue Yun, Fu Xuan, Li Dao and other cavalry generals, sweating profusely every day, and training continued. In addition to the usual practical cavalry training, due to the increase in cavalry, the number of cavalry increased, and the team was added to charge on a large scale.

After many practice methods, they got up in the morning. After breakfast, they fed the horses around. They all pierced armor and guns, hung bows and arrows on their backs, and practiced until the sun was low. In the middle, they only let the horses rest. People only ate some dry food and drink some water. No one complained about this practice. Everyone knew that the court spent a lot of money. In Xiangyang Prefecture, Li Gang, a national affairs officer of Pingzhang, came to inspect every now and then, and all kinds of supplies were provided. In order to allow the army to practice equestrians to have a wider venue, Li Gang loved the people as much as his son, and reluctantly gave up a large amount of fertile land, allowing the war horses to gallop and waste it at will.

In this way, the soldiers of the three armies, Beiwei, Tabai, and Youyi, each had their own horses, and they rode and shot continuously every day. Even in the evening, the commander ordered the troops to withdraw. Many soldiers used some food to let the war horses rest, and then rode the horses and trotted casually for a while to enhance their familiarity with the war horses.

In this way, by August, two months passed, the soldiers of each army were already familiar with each other. They were originally strong soldiers, and at this time they were even more skilled in riding and shooting. Even if they were such a strict commander as Yue Fei, they were very satisfied.

But all kinds of preparations were stopped, but they were never allowed to take orders from the court. Looking at the national war situation, except for Han Shizhong and Yang Cunzhong, the two pseudo-Qi people on the Jingdong road were attacking, and they were defeated by the pseudo-Qi people on the ground. They killed countless troops, captured tens of thousands of enemies, and even thousands of pseudo-officials and generals. When the Jin soldiers stationed in Hebei were overwhelmed by Xia, Han and Yang slowly retreated. When they arrived in Haizhou, Xuzhou were on guard and waiting for the enemy. The pseudo-Qi could not fight again for the time being, and the Jin soldiers had no intention of attacking. Even if they conquered various parts of Xuzhou, the two Han and Yang troops retreated while fighting and retreating. Even when they returned to Jiangnan, all their previous efforts were wasted. Since Zong Han and Zongbi once entered Jiangnan, they had no gains in searching mountains and checking the sea, and they could not bear the southern climate. Many soldiers died of fever and died of many soldiers, the Jin soldiers had no intention of crossing the river.

As for Taiyuan, Taihang righteous men became more and more active under the leadership of Wang Yan, Shi Ziming and other leaders, and even arrived at the city of Zhending several times, which made the Jin soldiers stationed in various places exhausted. This harassment warrior made the Jin Kingdom extremely troubled, and to re-siege Taiyuan, it was necessary to eliminate the Hebei rebel army. The Jin soldiers' cavalry could not perform any effect at all in the dangerous mountains and passes. Although they mobilized large troops to attack, the results were not great. They had to advance slowly. They had to wait until the autumn cold was cold. When a small group of rebels did not dare to stand out, they could only pass Taihang and lean directly under the city of Taiyuan.

Since Taiyuan was taken back by the Song army, the Shufu and the Zhengshitang cooperated to mobilize nearly one million people. After several months, the Taiyuan City, which was originally circumference of 11 miles, was expanded by more than three times. Many water wells were dug in the city and large warehouses were built. The walls were solid and towering. The moats and trenches outside the city were everywhere. Yao Duan, Guan Shigu, and Zhang Xian were in charge of the engineering ground army. Nearly 150,000 troops were waiting for the battle. Tongguan natural danger and the river defenses were also repaired. The entire Western Army imperial guards had nearly 260,000. More than half of the elite imperial guards in the world were in Hedong, Shaanxi and Sichuan, and the nearly 500,000 troops of the wing army were really strong and they were determined to take the defensive moment. The Jin soldiers also knew that they were powerful. The defenders in various places dared not act rashly. They just waited for the army to be mobilized in the autumn and cold weather and could only talk about other things after the siege of Taiyuan.

Because of this, at this time in previous years, all regions had been full of wars, and the Jin soldiers attacked everywhere. The Song army was in a short position, and fired everywhere, and lost cities everywhere. However, since Zhao Huan returned, it has been less than three years since the reorganization of the army and won consecutive battles. Although the emperor was not good at military talent, he personally fought several times to restore Chang'an and Taiyuan, and gained a strategic place. With the national financial resources and manpower, the Jin Kingdom was exhausted and the people were poor and the people were scarce. The overall situation was turned upside down. The Song army had strategic initiative and absolute security in the rear. The Jin army could only concentrate its main force to attack a place with elite cavalry and strong combat power, so that it could fight against the Song army. This was not clear about the ordinary Song people, and ordinary generals and soldiers. Only the Privy Councilors who were in the center, and the generals like Yue Fei could understand it.

In August, although it was still early in the month, the weather was no longer as hot as in June and July. In the morning and evening, there was already a cool breeze blowing on people, which was already quite cool. Yue Fei watched the military newspaper of the Shufu every day, and saw that the two sides were in a stalemate, and the court had no news. Although the weather was cool, he was anxious.

This day he used military pigeons to convey the military orders for one day, but he was a little unbelievable about these things invented and promoted. In addition to military pigeons, he sent additional horse troops to pass on orders. He had to try it a few more times before he could feel completely relieved.

He changed his robe himself, but he didn't wear armor, and ordered Yue Yun to change his robe too. The father and son had breakfast together, and only brought a dozen personal soldiers to the city to look for Li Gang. One came to visit and the other was to inquire about the news.

Yue Fei has always treated Yue Yun with strictness and has always treated him as a superior in the army. Although he is a family and father and son, he rarely treats each other warmly. Because today is a private visit, both of them are not wearing official uniforms, but are wearing long robes with black soft feet. The weather is cooler, and they run along the way with fresh clothes and horses. Yue Fei is slowly happy. He looks tall and strong, although he is not handsome, and he looks energetic. Thinking that his son has accumulated military achievements and has achieved far more than himself, he has chosen a wife and can get married at the end of the year, and he is even more relieved. Because of this, he chats with Yue Yun in a row, and mentions that Yue Yun and his younger brothers are gradually growing up and will serve in the army in a few years. Both father and son can't help but smile.

Yue Fei was in a happy mood, but praised Yue Yun for the first time: "It's a pity that your younger brothers are not as talented as you. You can hold a stone lock at the age of twelve. If you have nothing to do, even a few big men will not be able to get close to you when they dance their guns. At this age, when it comes to martial arts in the army, I am afraid that no one will be your opponent."

Yue Yun was rarely praised by his father, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, but said humbly: "My father's reputation is far above his son. He was known as the champion at that time. How could his son match him? Even Zhang Xian and Wang De, his martial arts are not inferior to his son."

"Son, I teach you to be humble, but not smooth."

Yue Fei smiled and shook his head, and said to Yue Yun with a gentle voice: "I won't mention how Wang De is your opponent. Zhang Xian, in terms of shooting skills, he is not inferior to you, and riding skills may be stronger, but in terms of strength, how can he compare with you."

Yue Yun smiled, his father was in a very good mood, and he didn't know how to reply. Moreover, the father and son have always been together in the form of a coach and a subordinate. The father and son have never spoken like this in recent years, but they also made him feel a little embarrassed and couldn't adapt to it for a while.

Yue Fei ignored his son's little thoughts and walked slowly while riding his horse, while leisurely:

"Your magical powers should never be abandoned because of your scatteredness, nor should you be too arrogant. In fact, your uncles are not weak in martial arts, and your achievements are not as good as you, because you are not only skilled in martial arts, but also knowledgeable about military tactics."

When he mentioned this, Yue Yun curled his smile and said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that Uncle Wu, otherwise..."

Yue Fei was originally smiling, but at this moment he also lowered his face and scolded Yue Yun: "Your fifth uncle must not be mentioned again. Then Yang Zaixing is already a general under my command. This person is also a loyal and kind descendant. He regrets it if he doesn't agree to follow the thief. He fights on the battlefield that day for his own masters. Although your fifth uncle dies at his hands, it is just a matter of their destiny. You must not hold a grudge in your heart, do you know?"

The fifth uncle mentioned by Yue Yun was Yue Fei's brother Yue Fei, and he followed him after the uprising. When Yue Fei was appointed as the Taizhou defense envoy, he fought with the puppet Qi general Cao Cheng. The general Yang Zaixing under Cao Cheng had the courage of ten thousand men. His gun technique was as accurate as the magical archery technique. He actually killed Yue Fei on the spot on the battlefield. Later, he was captured and surrendered by Yue Fei. Yue Fei appreciated him as a talent, and did not hold a grudge against Yue Fei for the matter, but promoted and used it. Then Yang Zaixing had become the fourth deputy general of You Yi Army, and his official position was no less low. Yue Yun was in a young mood, but could not forget his grudges. Therefore, when Yue Fei heard him mention this matter, he scolded him, fearing that his son would go to find Yang Zaixing's trouble.

He scolded him harshly, but Yue Yun didn't dare to argue, but just turned his face gloomy, but thought to himself: "If this person killed me, wouldn't he be fine?"

Yue Fei seemed to know his intentions and wanted to comfort him, but he opened his mouth and swallowed the words he said.

At this point, the comfortable atmosphere just now disappeared. Yue Fei saw that the city gate was looking at it, and then ordered Yue Yun: "Mr. Li is Pingzhang's military and national affairs, and he is responsible. It is inappropriate for us to disturb him. You must not talk nonsense, which will make him upset."
