Zhao Gou had only been dismissed and invited Qin Hui to be the governor of Wenzhou, and then he was appointed as the governor of Shaoxing Prefecture. Qin Hui was sinister and treacherous by nature. He knew that Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding were the prime minister, and the peace talks would not be successful. So he decided to deal with him in a false way, and temporarily put the word peace talks on the face, and treated Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding. Zhang Jun had a straightforward personality, so he thought Qin Hui could still be used, so he recommended him as the envoy of Liquan Temple and was also an official attendant. When Zhao Gou wanted to keep Qin Hui in guarding Lin'an, Zhang Jun certainly agreed. Zhao Ding did not agree, because Zhang Jun was strongly protected and was inconvenient to oppose it. So Zhao Gou chose Qin Hui as the camp and Meng Yu as the deputy, and allowed him to participate in the decision-making of the Privy Council of the Shangshu Province.

Zhao Gou then set out to Pingjiang. Zhang Jun went to the river first to inquire and observe the news about the pseudo-Qi. Liu Yu had ordered his son Liu Lin and his nephew Liu Qi to attack in different ways, and there were also Jin soldiers to help him. Zhang Jun pondered for a while before saying, "I guess the Jin soldiers may not be willing to come. The Jin soldiers helped Liu Yu many times, but failed many times. Will they still help him?" Zhang Jun told Zhao Gou this meaning.

Soon, he heard that Liu Lin invaded Hefei from Shouchun, Liu Qi exited the vortex of Zijing Mountain and invaded Dingyuan. There was also the capricious Kong Yanzhou who had surrendered to the Song Dynasty before, and then surrendered to Liu Yu, and he also invaded Lu'an from Guangzhou. Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi both exaggerated the enemy's momentum. Zhang Jun asked for more troops, but Liu Guangshi wanted to retreat. Zhang Jun immediately wrote to the two and said, "If the thief Liu Yu was against Shun, if he could not be eliminated, how could he establish a country? The court raised troops today. Now he should only advance and fight, and cannot retreat." After the letter was sent, he received a letter from Zhao Ding, ordering Yang Yizhong to urgently support Zhang Jun and protect Hefei together.

During the Battle of Mingzhou, Yang Yizhong followed Zhang Jun and Tian Shizhong, Zhao Mi fought against the Jin army, and made great contributions. He was able to transfer the post of the Wenzhou defense envoy to control the commander of the front central army. In the first year of Shaoxing, Yang Yizhong followed Zhang Jun to attack Li Cheng, the refugee generals who were traversing the south of the Yangtze River. The generals discussed and most of them advocated advancing in different ways. Yang Yizhong said: "If the enemy is in such a situation, the division of troops will be weakened. In addition, the positions of the generals are the same, and there is no supervision from the envoy, so they will inevitably not be able to cooperate with each other." Zhang Jun adopted it.

They formed their troops to Yuzhang, and Yang Yizhong led thousands of troops. First, they defeated the civilian army in Yulongguan and pursued to Yunzhou. The generals of the civilian army led 100,000 people to support and cross the river to form. Yang Yizhong said to Zhang Jun: "The enemy is large and we are few. We should use strange soldiers to attack the enemy. I am willing to lead the cavalry to the subordinates, and the public will be in front of the front with infantry." Zhang Jun followed his opinion. Yang Yizhong crossed the Yun River overnight, went out of the west mountain, and rushed down to attack the enemy. Zhang Jun attacked with infantry and captured 8,000 enemies. Seeing Yang Yizhong at night, the generals said, "The battle has not stopped, there are too many surrendered soldiers, and suddenly rebelled, what should I do? I must annihilate them all." Yang Yizhong said, "I can't bear to kill the surrender." The generals told Zhang Jun that all the prisoners were killed at night. Yang Yizhong and others took advantage of the victory to chase to Jiujiang, expel Li Cheng, and moved to Xuanzhou Observation Envoy.

In the spring of the second year of Shaoxing, Yang Yizhong was promoted to the command of the Shenwu Zhongjun. Prime Minister Lu Yihao handed over the imperial order to him. Zhang Jun asked to keep Yang Yizhong in the army. Zhao Gou said, "The guard troops lack generals, and I can't change what I choose." Yang Yizhong also firmly refused and said, "The generals of Shenwu, such as Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun, all have the most famous ones. If a person as me is insignificant, it will be difficult to be at ease once his status competes with them." Zhao Gou refused and sent eunuchs to escort Yang Yizhong.

He was just in office and was also promoted to the personal soldiers of the Suwei. At that time, the soldiers in the middle army were less than 5,000, and half of them were weak, old and sick. Yang Yizhong requested that the Shenwu soldiers be transferred to the other troops to the reincarnation army, and since then the military and political affairs are gradually being governed.

In the third year of Shaoxing, Miao Luo of Yanzhou occupied the Baimayuan and killed officials. Yang Yizhong led his troops to fight against peace. In addition to the imperial equipment, he also appointed Baoxin Army Chengxuan envoy, Quanfa sent the deputy general manager of the Fuyan Road Cavalry Army. In the sixth year of Shaoxing, Yang Yizhong was the commander of the four-box commander of the Longshen Guard and the Mizhou Observation Envoy. At that time, Zhang Jun inspected the army and planned to cross the Huaihe River to attack the puppet Qi Liu Yu, relying on Han Shizhong's troops to implement it. Han Shizhong surrounded Huaiyang and asked Zhang Jun to send his subordinate Zhao Mi to assist. Zhang Jun refused his request. Zhao Ding said to Zhang Jun: "What Han Shizhong asked for is Zhao Mi. Yang Yizhong's martial spirit, so why not ask Yang Yizhong to assist him." Zhang Jun asked the court for instructions, and Yang Yizhong led 8 teams of 10,000 people to the governor's office to assist Han Shizhong.

So Zhang Jun urged Yang Yizhong to rush to Haozhou and join forces with Zhang Jun. He specially wrote to the handwritten letter: "The court is very responsible for the rule. You should make contributions in time and take the opportunity to repay the kindness of your understanding." As soon as the book was issued, he received a handwritten letter from Zhao Gou and said: "Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi is probably not qualified. When Yue Fei led his troops to the east to resist the rebel Liu Yu. Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi and others' army would rather order them to retreat to the riverside."

Zhang Jun couldn't help but sighed angrily: "How can this matter be made? Prime Minister Zhao is with the emperor every day, so wouldn't he be advised?" So he picked up a few words, ordered the clerk to prepare, and immediately sent a staff officer to hurry to report to Zhao Gou. Zhang Jun replied: If Zhang Jun and others cross the river, there would be no Huainan. The danger of Huainan will be shared with the thieves from now on. The reason why Huainan stationed troops was to block the river. If the thieves got Huainan and fetched grain on the spot, they thought that how could Jiangnan be protected? Now they should join forces to attack, so they would be sure to win. If they have the intention to retreat, the major event will be gone. Moreover, when Yue Fei moves, Xiang and Han are alerts, what can they be self-reliant? I hope the court will not hesitate and let the generals wait and see.

As soon as he sent his memorial, he received a military newspaper from Luzhou. Liu Guangshi had retreated to Caishi. Zhang Jun paused his feet and sighed, "How can Liu Guangshi be so timid? "Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhi rushed back and reported to Zhang Jun, "The emperor has already made an order and acted according to your suggestions. If any general refuses to obey the order, he can engage in military law." Zhang Jun was overjoyed and ordered Lu Zhi to rush to Liu Guangshi's army to convey the imperial edict.

Lu Zhi hurried to Caishi, intercepted Liu Guangshi, and said sternly: "The emperor's decree has been issued. If one person crosses the river, behead him immediately." Liu Guangshi's face changed drastically, and his legs were trembling, so he had to return to Luzhou. Liu Qi marched into Huaidong, but was stopped by Han Shizhong, so he turned around to attack Dingyuan. Liu Lin built three floating bridges in Huaixi, crossed the army one after another, and marched to the border between Mengzhou and Shouchun. Zhang Jun sent troops to resist, and the two stalemates were not distinguished for a while.

Liu Qi went straight to Xuanhua from Dingyuan, hoping to advance to Jiankang. He arrived at Yuejiafang and happened to meet Yang Yizhong. Liu Qi was about to confront the army, but Yang Yizhong had already fought bravely, and Liu Qi had no time to fight. Liu Qi knew it was unstoppable, so he hurriedly led the army to retreat, and then headed towards Hefei, trying to join forces with Liu Lin. As soon as Liu Qi arrived in Outang, he saw an official army stopping him in front of him. The word Yang was written on the banner. Liu Qi was shocked and said angrily: "Can it be that?"

Is this bearded general again?"

It turned out that after Yang Yizhong defeated Liu Qi, he estimated that Liu Qi would definitely go to Hefei, so he marched from a small path, rushed in front of Liu Qi, and set up a camp to wait. Because Yang Yizhong had many beards, Liu Qi called him the bearded general. Liu Qi then lined up the mountain and ordered the knights to slap the bow and arrow, and the arrows fell like rain. Yang Yizhong immediately ordered the commander Wu Xi to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to re-arrange themselves, and led the army to the back.

Wu Xi was ordered to climb the hillside, and the front team was shot many arrows, so they could not help but retreat. Wu Xi was furious and rushed forward. He held a knife in his left hand and a shield in his right hand, and flew up the hill. Seeing that the main general was moving forward desperately, his subordinates could only follow him regardless of life or death. Liu Qi's soldiers had no time to stop him, and the formation immediately shook. Yang Yizhong took the opportunity to attack four times, and personally commanded the elite cavalry to rush Liu Qi's army, and shouted: "The thief army has been broken!" Liu Qi was shocked and looked around. His subordinates were also shocked and suddenly collapsed.

The commander Zhang Zongyan happened to receive a proclamation from Zhang Jun and came to reinforce Hefei from Sizhou, just behind Liu Qi. Zhang Zongyan took advantage of the situation to attack, and Liu Qi was defeated and his subordinates were killed. Liu Qi fled to Lijiawan and met Zhang Jun's troops to kill him. Liu Qi was so scared that he hurriedly rushed forward and just wanted to escape. However, Zhang Jun refused to let him go and commanded the soldiers to trap him.

Liu Qi rushed left and right and couldn't escape. Fortunately, his adviser Li Yi asked Liu Qi to remove his armor and helmet and drill into the infantry team. He escaped the attention of the government army, slipped out of the siege from the slanting thorns, and was able to escape. Liu Qi and Li Yi ran for several miles, and there was no one around, so he dared to stop and rest. Afterwards, Liu Qi felt even more frustrated and couldn't help crying. He even touched Li Yi with his head and said, "I don't want to meet a bearded general this time. It's really bad luck and will destroy my entire army. It's so painful!"

Li Yi hurriedly asked him who he was? Liu Qi cried and said, "I heard the official army call him Yang Palace, probably Yang Yizhong. He is so powerful that he cannot be regarded as a sharp man." Li Yi felt embarrassed and had to comfort him for a few words. Liu Qi stopped crying. Suddenly, he saw dozens of defeated soldiers who were fleeing on horseback, all of whom were incomplete armor and very embarrassed. They gasped for a while before saying to Liu Qi: "This is not a place to rest, I'm afraid the pursuers are coming again."

Liu Qi stood up in a hurry, took a horse from the cavalry, and immediately fled. Li Yi also borrowed the horse to escape. The cavalry had no horses to ride, so he could not help but fall behind. After a while, Yang Yizhong chased after him and shouted loudly. The cavalry immediately threw away their weapons and surrendered. Yang Yizhong rushed for another journey, but did not see Liu Qi, and then he retreated. After this battle, the Song army killed Liu Qi's subordinates for tens of thousands, and surrendered tens of thousands, and the morale of the pseudo-Qi was taken away. Liu Lin heard that Liu Qi had been defeated and had retreated for dozens of miles, so he did not dare to fight with Zhang Jun again, so Zhang Jun was able to attack Liu Qi. At this time, Liu Lin heard that Liu Qi's entire army was wiped out and became even more frightened, so he immediately led his army back. Kong Yanzhou also withdrew the siege of Guangzhou and led the crowd back urgently.

When the news came, Zhao Gou sent eunuchs to give rewards and condolences, and said to the prime minister and others: "You only know what I have to do now." Yang Yizhong was appointed as the governor of Baocheng Army, the capital of Yuhou in front of the palace, and soon he was also in charge of the horse and infantry commander. Yang Yizhong submitted a memorial: "The ancestors set up three yamen and set up the generals. Now I take the lead alone, which does not conform to the old rules." Zhao Gou did not agree.
