"If you don't return, Cao Di may take the risk," Li Ruoxu hesitated, "He will force the Xijing army to attack Wusheng Pass, so the Ministry of War has repeatedly considered it and still ask the Southeast Camp and Town** to return to the army to shock Cao Di. Chen Xianggong is also sending Jingdong to avoid fighting with the same family." He frowned and said worriedly, "Compared with Cao Di's big fanfare, although Han Shizhong has no movement, he is Hou Huanyin's favorite general. He stationed troops in Nanyang and can go south at any time."

"What does Yue Shumi mean?"

Zhao Xingde looked at Li Ruoxu and handed him a moon ball. This day was Mid-Autumn Festival. This moon ball was specially sent by the commander Lu Mingyu to recruit heroes along the way. Zhao Xingde's troops were gradually increasing. The moon ball was roasted in mixed noodles, and there was a layer of sesame seeds on the noodles. For Zhao Xingde and Li Ruoxu who grew up in the Central Plains, the taste was just right. It was only compared with the honey-filled moon ball in Bianliang. Li Ruoxu took the moon ball. Thinking of the day when Zhao Xingde left Beijing and went exile, it was Mid-Autumn Festival. He also remembered his sister who was separated from the sky. He couldn't help but sigh. His face was full of wind and frost, but his eyebrows and beards were much thicker, and he seemed to be a capable court official.

"Mr. Yue repeatedly went to the Ministry of War to ask the ministers in the court to take into account the overall situation of the northern expedition," Li Ruoxu bit the hard cake and whispered, "But the Xijing army was posing as an attack on Wusheng Pass, which was almost said that the Ming and Qing dynasties were against the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of War were under great pressure. Brother-in-law, you know the situation in the court. I am afraid that the court will secretly have a rift against the Marshal Yue, and that would be a bad thing. Some people have already criticized Mr. Yue for holding troops and respecting the army. The army stayed here, and the morale of the army was floating. Moreover, the mid-winter is approaching, and the military rations of the Ministry of War have become a problem." He sighed, "So, Mr. Yue asked me to come and invite me to discuss a countermeasure with my brother-in-law." After saying that, Li Ruoxu could not hold back and said, "Hou Huanyin, Cao Diquan was so anxious, but he just picked this opportunity to attack. He is really a traitor."

"If it weren't for this opportunity, after the Central Plains was recovered," Zhao Xingde took a sip of tea. "Chen Shaoyang's reputation is at its peak. Who in the world remembers Cai Jing? Li Bangyan's two people's opportunities are fleeting, and Hou Huanyin is ambitious, how can he let it go?" Li Ruoxu was silent. At this time, outside the camp suddenly cried loudly. Zhao Xingde's face changed slightly. He immediately stood up and said to Li Ruoxu: "Go out and have a look."

Li Ruoxu followed Zhao Xingde. He was the Minister of War and Zhao Xingde's wife's brother. The southeast camp also regarded him as his own person and followed the sound. The soldiers cried louder and louder, which made people feel sorry for him. When they came to a nearby camp, it was one of the three battalions of the Ya Soldiers. The heroes of the battalion were recruited by the Northern Heritage soldiers. When the soldiers at the door saw Zhao Xingde, they hurriedly opened the camp gate. The battalion commander Ding Shun immediately led the soldiers to line up to greet him. He looked at him with his eyes. Everyone in the team's eyes were red, and there were especially those in the back row who wiped tears with their hands.

"What's going on?" Zhao Xingde asked

"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, brothers in the north miss their family. There are rumors that the generals are unable to return soon, and it is difficult for the whole family to have a day of reunion, so they can't help crying and crying." Ding Shun ignored the rules of the army and knelt down on his knees, "The last general is not in charge, please punish the general." Ding Shun was very prestigious in the camp, and more than 700 people in the camp immediately fell to his knees on the ground. Ding Shun was originally a village leader in Xiangzhou. After the Liao army invaded the south, he gathered more than 30,000 people to deal with the Liao soldiers. Later, the mountain village was captured by the Liao army. He fled south and joined Zhao Xingde's commander, and served as the commander of the Xiaoying camp.

"Pity my brothers, I have raised the banner of the Grand Marshal, posted notices for the Grand Marshal, recruited soldiers and horses, collected food and grass, and made an appointment with the prefectures and counties to reprimand the matter. All kinds of actions have reached the last moment, and they are inevitably known to the Liao people. I thought that the King's Army could recover the Central Plains on the day of the king's army," Shao Xing kowtowed and said, "The Grand Marshal must not withdraw his troops, otherwise the Liao people will retaliate. The brothers from my village, all of whom are old and young, will die without a place to bury them." He was eight feet long and like a tiger, and he started to cry loudly. He was so eight feet long that he was like a tiger. He started crying loudly.

He took the lead and the cries of the soldiers who had just stopped the camp were louder. Since the Liao army invaded Henan, the beautiful rivers and mountains suddenly became the ghost realm of the human world. In addition to the Liao soldiers burned, killed, and looted, countless riots and bandits took advantage of the situation to do evil. Henan is also a plain. Most people have nowhere to hide. They can only listen to people slaughter the rest. They either obey the Liao people as slaves or build villages to protect themselves. Even these villages like embers after the disaster were all the king's army. This time, the royal army responded the most enthusiastically and hated the Liao people the most. Once the Song army retreated, the Liao people would definitely take advantage of the winter to attack the Song Dynasty's villages and wipe out the villages of the Song Dynasty's residents, and kill them without leaving any chickens and dogs.

Li Ruoxu showed unbearable expression on his face, Zhao Xingde sighed, helped Ding Shun, Shao Xing and others up one by one and said, "Xingde and you all have to trust in life and death, and make an appointment to recover the Central Plains. If you can trust Zhao, use your strength to the battlefield and don't act like this woman anymore." After some persuasion, everyone stopped crying. Zhao Xingde turned around and said heavily: "Go to see Yue Shumi first."

The two came to the town's ** camp. Zhang Xian invited Zhao Xingde into the central army's tent at the entrance of the camp. Yue Fei was already waiting for him in the commander's seat.

"Now the country is in a turbulent state, and the court does not cultivate moral politics," Yue Fei said with an angry face, "Cao Di, the person on both ends of the rat, first watched the fall of Bianliang, the official family was trapped in the hands of the Liao thieves, and now he is hooked up with the traitors, and he has a 100,000 army, but he shrinks timidly when he is in the battle. If it weren't for the sake of the overall situation, General Zhao, even though you and I are less than tens of thousands of people, he can still flatten the Cao family's troops." When he spoke, the generals shouted, "Han Shizhong stationed troops in Nanyang and waited for an opportunity to go south," Zhang Xian said coldly, "Our army only needs a partial army to destroy him."

"Cao Di and Han Shizhong joined forces," Yue Yun whispered beside him, "Break off my military rations."

"What?" Zhao Xingde was shocked and saw that the recovery of the Central Plains was in sight. However, the town was stuck here because of the constraints of the court. From Yue Fei to ordinary soldiers, everyone was angry. I don't know who to vent the food and grass to the army. Cao Di and Han Shizhong broke the town's food and grass, and suddenly it was like a spark. The generals were hesitant to follow the order to return to the army, but now they all share the same hatred for the enemy and want to send troops to severely punish the Xijing people.

"Everyone is angry, there may be something wrong with this matter." Zhao Xingde pondered and looked at the positions of the military marked on the mountain map. Han Shizhong stationed troops in Nanyang, Han River and Xiang River were all the areas of their navy patrols. Ezhou was like a thorn on its back. A hundred thousand troops in Xijing were stationed in front of Wusheng Pass. If Mount Tai was pressing down on the top of Zhao Xingde secretly speculated that perhaps the Ministry of War had cut off the grain and grass of Cao Di and Han Shizhong's troops first, but the grain and grass of the Zhen** and the Southeast Camp passed through the two armies' stations. These two armies would naturally intercept the grain and grass of the Ministry of War for their own use. In this way, both public and private, the Town** and the Southeast Camp had to return to the army to support Hubei.

"The current situation is difficult for internal and external affairs," Zhao Xingde said slowly, "If the troops retreat, the Liao thieves will breathe a sigh of relief. In the dead of winter, they will definitely kill the people and feel disappointed. It will be ten times more difficult to recover the Central Plains in the future. If you and I don't return to the army, if Cao Di really breaks the Wusheng Pass and attacks Ezhou, then the situation of fighting with each other will lose fundamental support for the recovery of the Central Plains. The situation will lead to success or failure." All the generals could understand this simple truth, and they frowned, "This is not possible, that is not possible." Niu Gao shouted anxiously, "I'm so angry that I'm so angry, what's going on?"

"Did Lord Zhao already have a countermeasure?" Zhang Xian's face changed and he stared at Zhao Xingdedao

"One side is to recover the Central Plains, the other side is the center of the Prime Minister's Mansion, neither side can be abandoned," Zhao Xingde said with a serious expression, "Then please ask the Privy Councillor Yue to obey the orders of the Ministry of War, return to Wusheng Pass, and bend with Cao Dixu. When the two armies stalemate, the situation in the court has only left room for improvement. It is not to be destroyed and Xingde leads our army. It is a big fan to act as a suspect army, continue to go north, intimidate the Liao bandits, and relieve the suffering of the elders and brothers."

After hearing him, Zhang Xian's face was relieved a little. He had long expected that in order to deal with the current situation, the Yue and Zhao troops might have to divide their troops, but how to divide the troops was very particular. Returning to the army was to follow the order of the Ministry of War, gaining the trust of the court, and sufficient food and salary. To be fair, Zhang Xian really did not take Cao Di and Han Shizhong troops seriously and continued to go north. He would be disobedient and disobey the court, and the food and salary were difficult to protect. After losing the aid of the other armies, he would become an isolated army. Seeing that the winter was approaching, if the Liao army made a comeback, the future would be unpredictable.

"Maybe, Lord Zhao was a civil servant, and he was good friends with Mr. Chen, Cao, Wu, etc. Even if he disobeyed, he would have room for reversal. Yue Shuai was a military man. If he disobeyed like this, he would inevitably lose his power in the future." Thinking of this, Zhang Xian snatched before Yue Fei and bowed, "Master Zhao Gaoyi, Zhang Xian admired him." Some of the generals were unclear, so he nodded and agreed to Yue Fei for a moment, and agreed to Zhao Xingde's plan, and ordered General Zhang Xian to leave only three days of dry food, and all the food and grass were handed over to the Southeast Xingying Camp.

"General Zhao said," Gao Gongmao unfolded the letter paper, "I just waited for the Northern Expedition. He obeyed Dali's orders to carry out military affairs and received other punishments from the Military and Justice Department." He and Zhao Xingde had worked with him for a while, and he showed regret in his eyes and whispered, "General, should you advise me again?"
