Chapter 146: Loyalty to Yue Fei

The results of the Battle of Changshui have been reported. Shortly after Yue Fei arrived in Yingchang, several imperial guards from the Palace Front Office led a small team of imperial guards and escorted a Privy Councilor to come to the army to convey the imperial decree.

If it was the usual, even if the imperial edict was teleported back and forth, it would take some time. Now Yue Fei led his army in the Central Plains. He just needed to detour to Dehuangguan and sent him directly to Chang'an. The distance was shortened by a piece of the boss, so time was naturally saved.

When the waiter arrived in the army, Yue Fei did not dare to be negligent. He immediately beat the drum and passed the generals, and ordered all the deputy generals and above in the army to arrive at the army camp to welcome the imperial edict together.

Everyone knew the Privy Councillor who passed the imperial edict, but they knew that they were originally a deputy general of the Western Army. Because they were meticulous in their hearts and liked to read military books, they set up a new Privy Councillor's Office the year before yesterday, so they transferred him in. Although the rank was not high at this time, they were only comparable to the deputy commander, but they were actually with the emperor every day and were considered close ministers.

Seeing that the generals of the army arrived at Qi, the envoy smiled and greeted Yue Fei first, and then started reading. He spoke a strong Guanshan accent. Yue Fei was mostly from the Central Plains or the southerners, and he couldn't hear it very clearly. He only vaguely listened to the envoy: "You are aware of the strategy, and you will be able to move the situation in the middle, and you will be able to seize the barriers of the pine cabinet. You still captured armor and horses, and you will eat embarrassing food, and you will hear the achievements of three victories. You are really the bravest of ten thousand people. You will wear a cotton flag and four silver spears." Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Although Yue Fei defeated this time, he was not a Jin army, he also captured cities and plundered the land, recovered dozens of prefectures and counties, defeated hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, and captured countless soldiers, and the armor was like a mountain. Why did the emperor reward him so simple?

Yue Fei himself didn't care about his official position and wealth, but he was also very surprised. He was a little stunned and then he leaned over to thank the emperor for his kindness and stood up.

Seeing that the generals were slightly unfair, the envoy smiled and ordered an imperial guard officer behind him: "Come on. Take out the Mian Banner and show it to General Yue." "Yes, the last general obeys the order." The envoy was obviously from the three armies, and was from Guanshan. He was tall and strong and full of energy. He answered the imperial guard officer in Guanzhong accent and took out a Mian Banner from his horse's bag. He stepped forward and presented it to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei looked at him and felt that the other party was a little disappointed. He was puzzled and could not think of the reason for it. He had to take the Mianqi, pull the string open, and spread it gently.

He was facing the generals, with the back of the Mianqi facing him. As soon as the Mianqi opened, he could only hear the generals surprised and looked at the face. He moved his heart and hurriedly moved the Mianqi to look at the front. He glanced at him. He felt a heat gushing on his face, his heart was sour and astringent, and he couldn't speak for a moment.

But it turned out that the four big characters "Jing Zhong Yue Fei" were embroidered on the cotton flag, which were written in Duan Kai. The big characters embroidered with gold shine brightly under the refraction of the sunlight.

This is really a rare honor and favor. With this banner, it is really even more rare than the rewards of wealth, pearls and jade.

Seeing Yue Fei moving, the envoy stepped forward without realizing it. He smiled at Yue Fei and said, "Your Majesty said that he had been injured for a long time, but this flag was given to the general. If he wrote it well, he must not dislike him." The words behind him were obviously a joke between Zhao Huan and this close minister, and he also brought it out in detail.

When the emperor heard the joke about Yue Fei, nine of the ten generals in front of him had never seen the emperor. However, everyone's respect and loyalty to Zhao Huan was not weaker than the generals of the Western Army. In addition, Yue Fei's status and image in everyone's hearts have always been resolute and strict. Everyone would never use jokes to contact him. At this time, he heard it sincerely and didn't feel a loud laugh. For a moment, he felt that his distance from the emperor was much closer.

Yue Fei also smiled, and then he calmed down his mood and took a closer look at the Mianqi. Although the font was correct, the pen was soft and weak, which was not considered a high-quality calligraphy. I remembered that Zhao Huan had been taught by the emperor since he was a child. His calligraphy and painting were second only to Prince Yun among the royal princes and princes of the royal family, and he was considered a master of calligraphy and painting. I heard that he had slandered his right hand while running away. At this time, he barely used an imperial pen to write in person, which was indeed much worse than before.

But the more this is, the more it shows the sincerity of the imperial pen writing and the emperor's trust in him. He was moved and almost burst into tears. He had to turn around quickly, hold his breath and calm down. When his emotions recovered a little, he turned back and said loudly to the hundreds of generals in front of him: "After hearing this, Your Majesty personally gave me a letter, promising me to be loyal to Yue Fei No. 1. I am ashamed to defeat Li Cheng? What is the only thing I can do to defeat Li Cheng? Only by defeating Wushu, restoring the mountains of the Song Dynasty, and welcoming Your Majesty to the old capital of Kaifeng, can I dare to hang this flag in front of the Central Military Camp!"

At this time, he had already understood why Zhao Huan was giving him this cotton flag. Defeating Li Cheng was just the beginning. The emperor had high hopes for him and asked him to continue his efforts and defeat the Jin soldiers and cavalry southward, which was why he encouraged him so much.

As soon as Yue Fei finished speaking, the generals naturally bowed their bodies and said together: "Don't you dare not serve the emperor with death, and repay the emperor's kindness!"

The envoy smiled and said, "Your Majesty gave General Yue such a generous reward, and the other generals naturally had generous gifts. I won't preach them to the generals here, and someone will naturally tell you to the generals later."

Everyone already knew that the emperor gave Yue Fei's flag to the general's wishes, and each of them would naturally have a generous reward. They agreed in unison, but their voices were a little louder than before.

This is not surprising. Everyone is naturally loyal to the country and has no doubt about their loyalty to the country and the emperor. However, people are not sages and need to be motivated by material things, which is not a bad thing.

After he explained it to him, Yue Fei knew that the imperial envoy was from the emperor and must have something to discuss with him. He immediately sent off the generals and only accompanied him, and welcomed the imperial envoy into the tent.

Just now, the imperial edict was issued and there was no time to greet him. After entering the tent, he asked his name and found out that the imperial envoy was named Du Zhan. He was originally the governor of Huangzhou. Yu Yunwen appreciated him both civil and military skills and thoughtfully, so he was transferred to the Guanyuan as a military officer. It was not long.

The military situation was urgent. Du Zhan and Yue Fei exchanged a brief greeting, and then saw the screen retreating, so he went straight in and said to Yue Fei: "The arrangement of the Grand Marshal here is wrong. Your Majesty ordered me to bring a note. The Grand Marshal will read it." Yue Fei did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly took the note handed over by the other party. After a brief look, he realized that it was indeed the emperor's handwritten letter. After reading it briefly, he did not mention the detailed matters and only asked Du Zhan to tell him carefully.

He knew that the other party was afraid that he would not trust him, and Zhao Huan was also worried that the letter would fall into the enemy's hands. After all, the imperial envoy wanted to cross the enemy's war zone. If he was not careful, he might miss the big thing.

He carefully put away his letters and smiled at Du Zhan: "Your Majesty said that the current military situation is to explain it to the Lord in person, and ask for advice from the Lord in everything."

Du Zhan hurriedly bowed and thanked, "How dare you give advice to the emperor? It's just that your superiors give advice and let the emperor forward." He was a civil servant and was very proficient in military affairs, and in terms of etiquette details, he was much more thoughtful than the general. Seeing Yue Fei showing a slightly anxious look, he no longer politely and said in a deep voice:

"The General's previous arrangement was absolutely fine. He advanced all the way, conquered the famous city and fought the main force of the pseudo-Qi in one battle, without any twists and turns. His Majesty praised him very much. However, there were a few problems with the troops after defeating Li Cheng." Yue Fei was puzzled and said strangely: "I don't understand this. The enemy's situation is difficult to understand now. Kaifeng needs to stay to attract Jin soldiers, so I shrink my troops and stabilize the defense line. When Zong Bi arrives, I will ask for advice from you." Du Zhan smiled and said to Yue Fei: "The General Master thinks that Zong Bi is not as good as Li Cheng?" Yue Fei shook his head and said, "Li Cheng is just a fool. A deputy general under my command is better than him.

However, Zong Bi has been in the army since he was a child, and has experienced many battles. He made a decision on the battlefield with wise and decisive momentum, far above ordinary people. However, this person is not aware of the big ones, and only knows some small tricks. The general trend of the world is in control of His Majesty. Therefore, the Jin Kingdom used him as the commander and was struggling step by step and defeated repeatedly. I think that if Zong Han was young and Zong Wang could not die, we would not be able to fight so easily in the past few years." He was just in deep thought, only to analyze the general trend of the world with the other party. At this time, he said it casually, compared with the enemy's commander and the emperor, and even said that Zong Han and Zong Wang were in hand together. The emperor's arrangements may not be able to win over the past few years. After saying that, the boss regretted it, and at the moment he had to remain silent, hoping that the other party would not pay attention.

But Du Zhan laughed and said, "The Grand Marshal is really wise. Your Majesty himself said this. He said that he had only been in the five countries for a long time, and had deeply regretted it. He had thought about the general trend of the world and knew the situation of the enemy. He could only be so easy in the past few years. If the powerful Jin Kingdom were there, it might not be so satisfactory. When he heard it today, the Grand Marshal did not say what His Majesty himself said." In fact, in the past few years, all the arrangements of Zhao Huan have been like heavenly beings, which is simply

It is the most painful point of the enemy when every move is played. Every attack hits the Jin soldiers seven inches. Such wise and magical martial arts are completely different from before. There have been rumors among the people that Zhao Huan has already come to the mortal world by Emperor Zhenwu. Such rumors of ordinary people in the country naturally cannot affect the literati and generals like Yue Fei in the court. Only Zhao Huan's judgment just now has indirectly explained his great changes in recent years, which has convinced everyone.
