Zhe Yanshi nodded silently. He was from the Zhe family, and the Zhe family was originally the qualifications and abilities of the generals in the Western Army system. They knew very well. Zhe Yanshi also agreed with Zhao Huan's analysis of Qu Duan's abilities and personality.

He was about to speak out, but he changed temporarily. He coughed lightly and asked Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty has great trust in Yu Shu's talents and abilities. This time, when the army was used in Hebei, Yu Cao had arrived in advance. He planned the rules and made great efforts. I think it is also very good to use Shu as the commander."

As a close minister, Zhe Yanshi was the commander of the palace. He held the power of the imperial city commander and held the power of the imperial guards. Moreover, he followed Zhao Huan when he was a young man and led the officers. On the sensitive topic of appointing and removing the commander of the army, others would never dare to blurt out like him and discuss the candidates with the emperor.

Zhao Huan turned around and looked at him, and he was already clear. The Zhe family was deeply rooted in the Western Army system. The only one that could be compared with the Zhe family was the Zong family. Now the Zong family has declined, and the only one now is just a deputy commander. After the Zhe family experienced the fact that Zhe Ke wanted to surrender Jin, many children served as officials or emperor guards. In addition, they also had a queen. Unfortunately, the Zhe family's children who are commanding soldiers everywhere are too shallow, but as long as there is a little time, for example, Zhe Yanzhi is now in charge of the army as a commander, it is not impossible for them to be the general manager of the army in the future. As a child of the Zhe family, naturally, they do not want anyone in the Western Army to be too overwhelmed. Although Yu Yunwen was deeply responsible for the emperor, he was a civil servant. It was impossible for them to truly control military power in the army like these generals of aristocratic families. If he led the troops, the Zhe family's children would have a greater chance of leading the army in the future.

What kind of person is Zhao Huan? He rolled in the political officialdom in his previous life. In this life, he looked at it all. He was full of power and politics. He was intrigue and just glanced at Zhe Yanshi and knew the other party's intentions. Although the other party was selfish, it was actually beyond blame. In this era, the family's interests were still above the personal interests. It was understandable that any means were used to make profits for the family. Besides, it was just a very reasonable proposal. Although Yu Yunwen was young, his talent and strategy were obviously far above the rest of the prime ministers. It can be said that the entire military process and battle planning of the Song Dynasty were all the ones.

In order to control the situation, Zhao Huan relies on many people in government affairs. For example, Zhao Kai and Li Gang, and even many mediocre bureaucrats. In Zhao Huan's view, the most important thing about politics is not people. It is not the so-called politician, but the system. Once the system is well built, a mediocre bureaucrat can do everything well. However, military is different. It requires talent, keen intuition and ability to analyze and judge that ordinary people do not have. Therefore, how high is a military genius, He must have! How old is he? The achievements made by Huo Qubing when he was eighteen. Many people cannot do it even at the age of fifty-eight. This is the reason.

Zhao Huanming knew this, but smiled at Zhe Yanshi and said, "Although Yu Yunwen is good at military affairs, he has too little experience and is not enough to lead the army. Qualifications in the army are the most important. It's fine in normal times, but if the generals of the battle formation hesitate about the commander, it would be a great event."

Seeing that the other party showed disappointment, Zhao Huan smiled and said, "Besides, I can't live without him. Yunwen still has a chance to fight in the future."

When the emperor said this, although Zhe Yanshi felt regretful, he had nothing to say. The king and his minister looked up at the starry sky, and saw that the moon and the stars were sparse, and the sky was pure, which was very pleasant.

However, there were noisy people around the palace, and the news of the emperor's arrival had long been spread throughout the army. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Hebei imperial guards were the most elite, and they were responsible for the heavy responsibility of fighting against the Northern and Liao areas. Unexpectedly, the negotiations between the Song and Liao areas were successful. The two countries had no wars for decades. The Hebei imperial guards were idle and had weaker combat power. As the rise of Western Xia, all the elite soldiers and generals entered the pass and Shaanxi to prepare for the border. For decades, the wars between Song and Xia continued, and the Western military became the most powerful army. By the time Zhao Huan was in power, the only army in the country could fight was the Western army. Zhong Shidao assisted Kaifeng. The first time

The removal of Kaifeng's siege was due to the Western Army. Taiyuan was prepared for nearly a year. Zhong Shizhong led 170,000 troops and fought with Jin soldiers several times. Although he was defeated, he was also the Western Army. At this time, Yue Fei's troops were born in the Hebei Imperial Army. Over the years, the troops became stronger and stronger, and the troops became stronger. Recently, they broke into the Central Plains, defeated Jin soldiers in a row, and killed famous generals in a row, and fought Wanyan Zongbi was covered in dust. His elite troops were lost in the Central Plains for decades. Yue Fei himself and his troops became famous for a time, and his reputation was spread throughout the country. The Western Army admired the combat power of friendly troops, but at the same time, they were extremely dissatisfied and even greatly stimulated.

At this moment, the entire army no longer needs to mobilize. From generals to ordinary soldiers, they all have high fighting spirits. They just wait for the emperor to give orders. Then the entire army will march eastward to Taihang, enter the land of Hebei, fight with the enemy on the Hebei plain, and even go straight to Youyan in the future, and lose land for a hundred years. Only in this way can Yue Fei take the lead and lose his glory and recover it slightly. With this mentality, his morale is extremely high. In addition, he knows that the emperor will immediately start the military operation, and many troops will not wait for formal orders.

After mobilizing the army and preparing logistics work according to the planned route in advance, each department dispatched avant-garde scout and immediately entered Taihang to provide first-hand local sentiment to the heads of each department. Although the Privy Council Army Department provided a large number of maps and the pedestrian department also had corresponding information, the heads of each department still acted like this, and it was difficult to change for many years. At the same time, after studying in the martial arts hall, each department deeply understood the importance of battlefield intelligence prediction, and its understanding of the terrain, local climate, and folk customs was more beneficial to the heads of the general's judgment of the entire situation.

Zhao Huan listened with his ears for a moment, and somehow, Jing remembered what happened in the city of the Five Kingdoms that day. After a long time of silence, he said to Zhe Yanshi: "When I was in the Five Kingdoms that day, in the middle of the night, the Jin soldiers were often mobilized. I was sleeping on the couch and felt really uneasy."

When Zhe Yan saw him like this, he couldn't answer for a moment. After pondering for a while, he replied: "Today's imperial guards are strong, and the sound of golden swords and iron horses can be heard, which is extremely exciting."

Zhao Huan smiled slightly, walked with his hands in his arms, and said with a smile: "I am really comforted by this for several years."

How Yue Fei defeated the Jin soldiers was only clearly seen from the battle report, but only when he arrived at the battlefield himself, hundreds of thousands of troops were waiting for him and preparing to advance, Zhao Huandi was extremely excited and at ease.

I slept all night without any trouble. The next day I got up, ran and exercised as usual, and enjoyed wrestling with several guards. The palace here cannot be compared with the expanded Chang'an palace, and I cannot ride horses and shoot arrows on a routine basis. I have to wait until around 8 o'clock and have had breakfast, Yu Yunwen, Zhang Jun and others have been waiting for a long time.

The emperor was diligent in his work and loved the people and was good at military affairs. He was the only place to criticize the court too early. The emperors of the previous dynasty, no matter how stupid and wise, were most likely to follow the rules of the dynasty in the morning. This set of rules remained unchanged for thousands of years, and Zhao Huan was the first person to reform it.

To mobilize and dispatch troops from various departments to prepare for logistics support, several ministers and the Privy Councilors who were summoned together had already planned it clearly. After orders were handed over to Zhao Huan personally, they could be awarded to various departments. Several Zhongshu Sheren who followed the emperor here also sent urgent government affairs documents submitted by various places to Zhao Huan for review. Zhao Huan was concerned about military affairs at this time, but he could not interfere with much. Except for those involved in political reform, the rest were transferred to the Political Affairs Hall left in Chang'an for disposal.

The pedestrian also sent the latest battle report. After Zong Bi's defeat, he knew that the Central Plains could not fight again and Kaifeng could not defend him. So he made up his mind to give up the south of the Yellow River. Anyway, according to the original plan of Wanyan Chang and others, after discussing peace with the Song Dynasty, he only left Youyan and other places in Hebei, and returned them all to the south of the Yellow River. When it comes to the loss of land, he was not very worried.

However, the battle lost most of his troops, which made Wanyan Zongbi very sad. At the same time, he was extremely afraid of the political enemies in the court to attack him and even took the opportunity to cut off his military power.

After fleeing to Daming, he gathered the remaining troops and summoned the Jin soldiers stationed in various parts of Hebei. Together with the original 60,000 families of troops, he gathered another 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry troops stationed in Xiangzhou and Huazhou to strictly prevent the Song army from capturing Kaifeng, crossing the Yellow River and attacking Hebei.

Although he felt that it was not easy for the Song army to cross the river and might not have entered Hebei, he was worried and extremely afraid of this matter. Within a few days, he criticized Wanhu, the general who was defeated that day, and even killed a group of middle and lower-level officers who fled the first day. The pedestrian department has been operating in Hebei for many years and is clear about these trends. Zong Bi even cried and lamented: "I have never encountered such setbacks since the rebellion in the north!!!"

He often said: "It is easy to shake the mountain, but it is difficult to shake the Yue family's army."

Zhao Huandao believed that Zong Bi had a strong and strong personality. When he encountered such setbacks, his emotions were out of control for a while, which led to such sighs. Similarly, people with such personality would never praise the enemy's strength. Even if he had such a saying, he was afraid that the pedestrian company would add a note to encourage his own military morale.

The effect was obvious. The emperor discussed military affairs with many Privy ministers. Wu Jie, Yao Pingzhong and others sat in His Highness with swords and silver, waiting for orders. After hearing the close ministers chanting Zong Bi's words praising Yue Fei's troops, everyone snorted coldly, and they were very dissatisfied. Zhao Huan smiled and saw it, he felt that he needed some more materials to boost the army's morale.

When asked about the movements going to Beijing, he saw Xie Sanniang secretly writing a letter saying: "In the battle of Yingchang, the great achievements of the General Yue of Zheng was shocked. He was shocked several times overnight. Children often cried at night, and were frightened in the name of General Yue."
