Who can find it? -Yue Fei Chuan

(11March 24, 2003-1142 65438+1October 27)

China was a patriotic strategist in the Southern Song Dynasty and a hero of the Han nationality. The word Ju Peng. Hebei (Song refers to the north of the Yellow River, not the border of Henan and Hebei provinces, the same below) is a dutiful son of Yonghe Township in Tangyin, Xiangzhou (now tangyin county, Anyang City, Henan Province). In the first year of Jingkang (1 126), he joined the army to resist gold, and was promoted to Bing Xulang for his bravery. In the third year of Jian Yan (1 129), General Jin crossed the river south. At that time, Yue Fei, under the control of the right army of Jianghuai Propaganda Department, led his troops to Guangde (now Anhui) and Yixing (now Jiangsu), harassed Jin Jun, won repeatedly, recovered Jiankang and was promoted to Tongtai Town. In the third year of Shaoxing (1 133), the regime supported by Jin sent troops to capture Xiangyang (now Hubei) and other counties. In April of the following year, Yue Fei went north from Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi), defeated Liu Yujun and recovered six counties. He was awarded our time by Qingyuan Army for his work. In the summer of five years, he was ordered by Song Ting to suppress the peasant rebels in Yang Mao in Dongting Lake area. In six years, Ren Hu served as Fu Xuan's deputy envoy to Jingxi Road. By surprise, they were lured to attack Cai Zhou (now Runan, Henan Province) with some troops, and Yiyang (now Songxian, Henan Province) from Xiangyang to recover large areas of lost land in western Henan and southern Shaanxi. In seven years, Yue Fei took advantage of the abolition of the rulers and put forward the idea of sending troops to recover the Central Plains. Later, he wrote many times against making peace with Jin, which was rejected by the emperor and prime minister. In ten years, Wan Yanzong broke the contract and went south. According to the general plan of connecting Heshuo and marching into the Central Plains, Yue Fei sent his generals to contact the northern insurgents, harassed the rear of the 8 Jin Army, and led the main force northward, and defeated the 8 Jin Army in the battle of Yancheng and Yingchang. Just as Yue Fei was preparing to cross the river, he made peace with Jin and ordered Li to be returned, which made Yue Fei's plan to restore the Central Plains fail. The next year, he returned to Lin 'an, was relieved of military power, and was awarded a parliamentary agreement. 1On February 29th, he was killed by Emperor Gaozong and Qin Gui for "unwarranted" crimes. His son Yue Yunhe and Zhang Xian were also killed. Song Xiaozong rehabilitated Yue Fei after he ascended the throne. Xichun died in ebony in the fifth year (1 178). In the fourth year of Jiatai in Song Ningzong (1204), the king of Hubei was chased. In the first year of Baoqing in Song Lizong (1225), he became loyal to the army.

one's early years

Yue Fei lost his father when he was a teenager and was raised by his mother. Legend has it that his mother tattooed the words "loyal to the country" on his back, reminding him of his hatred for the country and family. I studied martial arts with Zhou Dong before. Besides, I like Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals and Sun Tzu's The Art of War.

join the army

In the winter of the fourth year of Xuanhe (1 122), Liu Ge was really announced to recruit "brave", and Yue Fei, aged 19, joined the army and became his subordinate. But he soon returned to his hometown of tangyin county because his father Yue He died [3].

11In the winter of 24, he joined the army again and was assigned to Pingding Army on Hedong Road (Pingding County, Shanxi Province).

The change of Jingkang

11In the winter of 26, Yue Fei joined the army for the third time in Xiangzhou and returned to Liu Haojun [3]. Make up "from Jiupin to Nobukuro".

On the first day of December in the first year of Jingkang (julian calendar1127 65438+10/5), Zhao Gou, King of Song Kang, received a wax book from Song Qinzong and opened the Grand Marshal's Mansion in Xiangzhou. Zhao Gou is the marshal of Hebei military forces, Chen Hengbo is the marshal, and Wang Boyan and Zong Ze are the deputy marshals. Kang Wang appointed Chen Hengbo, a famous doctor of Wu State, as the commander-in-chief of Marshal House. His subordinates were divided into five armies: the front, the back, the middle, the left and the right, among which the former commander-in-chief was Liu Hao. Yue Fei belongs to Liu Hao's former army.

According to La Shu's order, Kang Shuaifu's task is to rescue those trapped in Kaifeng urgently. Yue Fei, a former member of the army, was ordered to lead 300 cavalry units south to Guli, Weixian and Daming Prefecture for reconnaissance. Defeated a team of Jin Army in Imperial Forest, killed an enemy general, and was promoted to "Nine Cheng Zhongchen" for his merits. However, because Yue Fei's great-grandfather was named Yue Cheng, in order to avoid taboo, it was changed to "send a reason to protect Ichiro". Bao Ichiro is a nine-product, one-product official lower than Cheng Zhonglang, but he has the title of "Li Li" and is at the same level as Cheng Zhonglang.

Kang Wang first sent troops to the south and slide to the state to solve the siege of Kaifeng. Before Liu Hao's former army went south with 2500 men, Yue Fei was ordered to lead 100 knights to the border of South Sliding State near Kaifeng. When Song Jun returned to China, he met the nomads from the Yellow River. Yue Fei hacked and killed a general Jin, and Jin Jun was killed back, so he was promoted to be "from Bapin Bingyilang".

In late December of the first year of Jingkang (165438+65438+late October of 2027), Zong Ze took on the heavy responsibility of rescuing Kaifengfu, while the Grand Marshal Zhao Gou only gave him 10,000 troops, which were divided into five armies: front, back, middle, left and right. Chen Hengbo is in charge of the capital and leads Zhong Jun. Yue Fei was in the former army, and this is the first time that he became a ministry of Zong Ze [6]. Zong Ze led the army into Kaide Mansion, and fought thirteen battles with 8 Jin Army in succession, each of which was very successful [7]. In a battle in the first month, Yue Fei shot and killed two standard-bearers of the 8 Jin Army, led the cavalry to attack the enemy and seized a batch of ordnance. Therefore, it was promoted to "Zhengbapin Xiuwulang".

In the fifth year of Jin Taizong, on the third day of February (julian calendar11March 20th, 27), Jin Taizong deposed Song Huizong and Song Qinzong as Shu Ren, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished.

In the fifth year of Tianhui (165438+the end of March 2027), in February, after Yue Fei's former army in Zong Ze entered Berlin Town, Dingtao County, Guangji Army, the Marshal's Office ordered him to change to Huang Qian Shan and cancel Zong Ze's command of this army. At that time, there were 80,000 troops in the Marshal's Office. There are only 26,000 people in Zong Ze and 36,000 people in HuangQian Shan [9].

In March of the fifth year of Tianhui (julian calendar11April 20, 2007), Emperor Taizong of Jin made Zhang Bangchang the puppet "Da Chu". However, the puppet regime could not be maintained, so people had to send the jade seal to Jeju to welcome Kang Gou as emperor.

On Chen Geng Day in April (julian calendar165438+June 2, 2027), Zhao Haoqi Gou of Song Kang left Jeju for Yingtianfu. Before departure, the five armies of Marshal's Mansion were reorganized, in which Zhang Jun was in charge of Zhong Jun and Liu Hao was in charge of Zhong Jun [10]. As the military commander of Zhong Jun, Yue Fei accompanied the brigade to escort Kang Wang, who was about to ascend to the throne, to Yingtianfu.

On the first day of May in the first year of Jianyan (julian calendar 1 127 June 12), Zhao Gou, King of Song Kang, established the Southern Song Dynasty in Nanjing.

After being assigned to Huang Qian Shan's army, Yue Fei wrote a letter to Zhao Gou, asking to join the war, because he had no war to fight for several months. Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan read Yue Fei's letter, stating that "I overstepped my post, so it is not appropriate to say so" [1 1], severely punishing Yue Fei, withdrawing his office and his army.

In August of the first year of Jianyan (11September of 27), Yue Fei went north, entered Hebei to recruit Zhang Suo's army, and took the position of "Zhengbapin Xiuwulang" as the commander-in-chief of Zhong Jun. Zhang appreciated Yue Fei very much, and soon he was promoted to be the commander of the "Seven Commanders of the State of Wu". In the first year of Jianyan (1 127 10), in mid-September, Zhang appointed Wang Yan as the commander-in-chief and led Yue Fei, Zhang Yi and Bai to recover Weizhou and other places. Immediately, Zhang Suo was expelled from Lingnan for impeaching Huang Qianshan, and the Zhaofu Department of Hebei West Road was revoked, leaving Wang Yan's army alone.

Wang Yan was stationed in Shimen Mountain, Xinxiang County, Weizhou (now Xinxiang City, Henan Province), and was surrounded by the assembled 8 Jin Army, so he played carefully. At that time, the 24-year-old Yue Fei was a little youthful and accused Wang Yan of being timid: "The second emperor is dusty, and the thief is based on the river. Courtiers should clear the way. Welcome aboard. Today, we don't make a quick decision, but wait and see. Do you really want to be a thief? " Lead his men to fight without authorization and capture Xinxiang county. However, it was immediately attacked by the assembled 8 Jin Army, and Wang Yan's department was scattered. Wang Yan cleaned up the mess and retreated to Xishan, a city and county in * * (now Huixian County, Henan Province). In order to show their determination, Wang Yan and his men tattooed the words "Serve the country with heart and swear to kill the gold thief" on their faces, which means "Eight-character Army". Later, it grew to tens of thousands of people and recovered hundreds of miles. 8. The Jin army failed in encirclement and suppression for many times [12]. Yue Fei led the remnants to fight in Taihang Mountain area for some time. After hearing the news of the growth of the Eight-character Army, he knocked on the hut where Wang Yan used to live, hoping to return to Wang. However, Wang Yan said to Yue Fei, "Your crime should be punished. However, you have stayed in my country for a long time, but you can restrain yourself and have the courage to return home. The country is in danger, and talents are rare. How can revenge on the enemy be evil? I leave you now. " Yue Fei was neither pursued nor accepted.

Zong Ze's subordinates

After Li Gang, the hawkish leader in the Song Dynasty, Zong Ze, who stayed at Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, actually became a hawkish leader. Zong Ze has established extensive contacts with the folk spontaneous anti-gold armed forces in the north, incorporated an army of millions, and accumulated enough food and grass for half a year [13]. Zong Ze appointed Wang Yan as the "Military System of the Two Rivers". Yue Fei and Wang Yan were in trouble, so they decided to go south to Kaifeng and Tokyo and go to Zong Ze. Officials from the Tokyo Ministry of Housing investigated the process of Yue Fei's breaking away from Wang Yan's bondage, and suggested that Zong Ze take military action against Yue Fei according to the regulations [14]. Considering the chaos in northern Song Jun after Hebei recruited Zhang Suo to be demoted, and the meritorious service made by Yue Fei after he left Wang Yan, Zong Ze decided to keep Yue Fei in the army and demoted him as a "righteous man with eight qualities" as a warning [15].

In December of the first year of Jianyan (1 128, 1), the Jin army invaded Sishuiguan in Mengzhou again [16]. Zong Ze sent Yue Fei as the white messenger [17] and warned him: "If you die, I will forgive you, but today you have made contributions for me. Look at the enemy, so you don't have to go into battle lightly. " Let him lead 500 cavalry to reconnaissance. Yue Fei defeated Jin Jun in Xishuiguan area, and returned to Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, where he was promoted to the position of governor by Zong Ze, and later to the position of governor [18].

From the winter of the first year of Jian 'an to the spring of the second year (1/kloc-0 from the end of 28 to the beginning of 28/1), the state of Jin divided its forces into three armies. At this point, the former East Route Army Commander Wan Yan Wang Zong has died. East Road was led by Wan Yan Zongfu, the "Three Princes", and Marshal Zuo Jianjun. Wan Yanzong Bi, the "Four Princes", led his troops to the east of Kaifeng. The west road, led by Lou Shi and Gao (Salie Drink), attacked Shaanxi; In the middle, left deputy marshal Wan Yan Han Zong and right marshal Wan Yan Yin Xi occupied Zhengzhou with Xijing Nanfu as the main force. In the west of Kaifeng, they confronted the left-behind troops in Tokyo led by Zong Ze. Wan Yan Han Zonghe made Wan Yan Yin Shubu and Wan Yan, Saili, Samoru, Yeluma and Shagu divide their forces and continue to go south in an attempt to outflank from the south [19]. In Kaifeng and nearby counties, Song and Jin fought fiercely. Although Zong Ze's left-behind division in Tokyo was attacked on all sides, Zongze took the left-behind division and calmly mobilized troops to deploy the battle, which made it impossible for 8 Jin J to capture Kaifeng. In the first month, Kaifeng citizens even decorated their lanterns as before [20]. Since the first month, Yue Fei took part in the war at the northern gateway of Kaifeng, and won successively in Qiancheng County (now northeast of Yanjin County, Henan Province) and Heilongtan [2 1] in the west of Jixian County, Weizhou.

After April (165438+May 2028), the weather began to get hot, and the Jin army retreated to prepare for the northern expedition [1]. On orders from Zong Ze, Wang Yan's Eight-character Army set out for Sliding State. Ma Kuo, the leader of Wumashan, also came to Tokyo with a letter from Wang Zhaozhen. Zong Ze, Wang Yan, Ma Kuo and others made plans for the Northern Expedition [22]:

Wang Yanjun crossed the Yellow River from Huazhou and went straight to Huaizhou, Weizhou, Zhou Xun and Xiangzhou.

Ma expanded his army, attacked Mingzhou and Qingyuan from Daming House, and remained calm.

, Li Gui, Wang Shan, and other troops went hand in hand separately, and the folk anti-Jin armed forces in Hebei, Hedong Shanshui Village and Yanyun also agreed on the time of the uprising.

Unfortunately, Zong Ze died at the beginning of July in the second year of Jianjian (1 128 August), and his deputy, Du Chong, succeeded Tokyo.

According to Zong Ze's deployment before his death [23], Yue Fei led Jinbi and other departments, and accompanied Zong Ze's assistant to take charge of the official duties of the guards and the military. On July 15, 2002, Yu Jianyian was stationed in Xijing, Henan Province, responsible for protecting the imperial tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty there [24]. In August (11September 28), Yue Fei was ordered to go to Sishuiguan to defend the enemy again. Yue Fei defeated the invading Jin Jun again, and changed from "seven-pin Wu Lang" to the highest rank of deputy envoys of various ministries. At the end of the second year, Yue Fei left and returned to Kaifeng under the order of Tokyo Company.

Du Chong's men.

After Yue Fei returned to Kaifeng, Du Chong immediately ordered Yue Fei to destroy Zhang Yong and other departments. Zhang Yong is the hometown of Yue Fei Tang Yin. He used to be an "archer" of Tang Yin (similar to today's patrol) and became sworn brothers with Cao Cheng, Li Hong and Ma Youshao. Tens of thousands of troops, Wang Shan department also protected him from the side. Yue Fei politely declined on the grounds of being outnumbered, but Du Chong threatened to demand military punishment and ordered Yue Fei to send troops [27]. Yue Fei can't disobey Wang Yan's criminal record without authorization. He can only repel Zhang Yong and Wang Shan with less than 1,000 troops and solve the siege of Du Chong, calling himself a "martial doctor". Then, Yue Fei was ordered to rescue the bandit Du and captured two bandits alive in Dongming County (now north of lankao county, Henan Province), and was promoted to "Dr. Military Strategist", and borrowed Yingzhou Secretariat. After withdrawing troops, Wang Shan and Zhang Yong turned to attack Huaining House (now Huaiyang County, Henan Province) for a long time, so they led the troops away. Yue Fei went to save Huaining House, fought against Wang Shanjun in Qinghe, and captured Sun Sheng and Sun Qing. Because of Shuang Sheng's "Doctor Zhuan Wude", he was really named Yingzhou Secretariat.

In the third year of Jianyan (1 129), Yue Fei had just returned to Kaifeng when he received an order from Du Chong to evacuate to Jiankang House. Yue Fei advised, "You can't abandon the original size. This place is not mine. To take it again, there must be hundreds of thousands of people. " But it's useless, and because we can't disobey our superiors without Wang Yan's lesson, we can only follow Du Chongnan.

Song Ting believed that Du Chong "forgot his home for his country and gained great courage; Waiting for an opportunity to make enemies has the wind of ancient famous soldiers. It is better than defending two Beijing cities, and it is also ready for many battles. Easy summer, famous and arrogant, soldiers and people die but single-minded. "Du task know the privy council, officer to failure. Du Chong refused, and Song Gaozong made an exception and appointed Du Chong as his right-hand man, ranking second only to his right-hand man. Du Chong took office as the ambassador of Jiang Hehuai, guarding health [29].

Xu Jin was led by Marshal Zuo Jianjun Wan Yanchang to attack Huainan, while Wan Yanzong Bi led a direct attack on Jiangnan. Hong Yan Zongbi's soldiers are divided into two ways. West Road was led by Ba, Qian Ying and Yelv Ma Wu. In October, Huangzhou crossed the river to Tuhongzhou and plundered Hubei and Jiangxi in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River [30]. East Road, led by Wan Yanzong Bi himself, went straight to Lin 'an where Zhao Gou was located. 1 1 month, Du Chong's water army attacked Li Cheng, a separatist party, and Jin Jun supported Sung Jae Lee Song Jun to capture a large number of ships [3 1]. After Wan Yanzong Bi failed to capture Caishidu and Cihu in Taiping Prefecture (now dangtu county, Anhui Province), he turned to Majiadu [32] in the southwest of Jiankang to cross the Yangtze River and enter the south of the Yangtze River.

Du Chong himself lived in seclusion and didn't prepare for it. Yue Fei sobbed and remonstrated: "The enemy is close to Huainan, and the beauty of the Yangtze River contains many things. There is no better situation than this, where "xianggong" feasts all day and saves military affairs. In case the enemy snoops on our laziness and sends troops to take advantage of it, then "xianggong" will not bow to it, but can he protect the lives of the generals? Since the general didn't die and Jinling (Jiankangfu) fell, can "xianggong" rest easy? Although flying solo, it doesn't help the country! " But to no avail. Du Chong, after hearing the news of 8 jin j crossing the river, only sent Cui Chen, Yue Fei, Qi Fang and other generals to Majiadu with 20,000 troops, and also sent Wang? Thirteen thousand people coordinated. 1 1 month 20th (julian calendar 1130 65438+1month/0/), Yue Fei led the right army against Wang Bolong, commander of the Han army in the state of Jin, but Wang? When Cui Chen died, all the generals were defeated. Only Yue Fei fought hard to retreat the whole army to Zhongshan in the northeast of Jiankang. [33]

Du Chong himself, after receiving Majiadu's defeat, fled to Zhou Zhen, Jiangbei, led by Ding Mao (julian calendar 1 11.4) on123, and was immediately persuaded by Hong Yanzong Bi to take refuge in Xu Jin [34]. When Song Gaozong learned that Du Chong had surrendered without a fight, he lamented, "I am thick, why?" [35], so sad that "people who don't eat will be tired" [36].

Set up yue jiajun

After Hong Yanzong Bi occupied Jiankang House, he only sent Xiao Wali and Zhang Zhennv to lead thousands of people to stay behind, and himself led an army to catch up with Song Gaozong. At the beginning of December (1130 65438+10), Hong Yanzong attacked Lin 'an House via Guangde County and Anji County of Huzhou, and Song Gaozong fled to Mingzhou. After Hong Yanzong Bi occupied Lin 'an Prefecture, he ordered Xie Mao Ali and Wuyan Puluhun to attack Mingzhou with 4,000 Qingqi and pursue Song Gaozong, and then Song Gaozong took refuge in Wenzhou by boat from Mingzhou by sea [37].

In Mingzhou, Zhang Jun killed nearly 1,000 Jin Jun contractors with superior forces [38][39] and achieved "Mingzhou victory" [40]. Hong Yan Zongbi sent reinforcements, and Zhang Jun led most people in Mingzhou to evacuate.

After Hong Yanzong Bi occupied Mingzhou, Song Gaozong, who fled to the sea, could not be captured alive, so he plundered and decided to retreat. 8 Jin Jun used the Grand Canal to transport looted ships to the north, passing through Xiuzhou, Pingjiangfu and Changzhou, and preparing to cross the river from Zhenjiang to the north. In March, Hong Yanzong Bi was stopped by more than 8,000 people under the command of Han Shizhong in Huangtiandang and was trapped for 40 days. Because of the traitor's suggestion, Jin Jun dug a river in the west of Jiankang City to introduce the fleet into the Yangtze River and pass the Qinhuai River. Han Shizhong rushed up to attack, but was repelled by 8 jin j rockets.

Yue Fei led the remnants of the left-behind divisions in Tokyo to the Guangde Army, won all six wars, and captured more than 40 puppet generals such as Quan Wang alive. In Zhongcun, where the troops stationed by the Guangde Army ran out of rations, the soldiers were hungry, but did not dare to disturb the people. In the early spring of the fourth year of Jian 'an (1 130), Qian Qian of Yixing County (chén, pronounced Shé n when taking the surname, zh Sh not ng) informed Yue Fei that there was enough food for 10,000 people in the county to eat for ten years, and he was welcome to lead an army to protect the county. In February, Yue Fei entered Yixing and was stationed in Zhang Zhu Town [4 1]. In Yixing, Yue Fei took over a group of local bandit troops of Hebei Puppet Army forcibly recruited by Jin Jun because of political chaos. Yue Fei himself was from Hebei and treated the contractors of Hebei and Hedong equally. The puppet troops all said, "This is Grandpa Yue's army." Fight for surrender.

In March, Jin Jun attacked Changzhou after plundering Xiuzhou and Fujiang. Qi zhou, the magistrate of Changzhou, discovered this situation and sent Zhao Jiuling (an acquaintance who worked with Yue Fei in the Zhaofu Department of Hebei, Zhang Suo) to Yixing County to invite Yue Fei to guard Changzhou. But before Yue Fei's departure, qi zhou had followed Zhao Jiuling to Yixing County and abandoned Changzhou City. Yue Fei, together with qi zhou and Zhao Jiuling, led troops north and retaken Changzhou in World War IV. Followed by the east of Zhenjiang prefecture, followed by. At this time, the bandit Qi Fang, who was originally controlled by Du Chong and has now become a separatist territory, captured Guangde County. Yue Fei rushed back to Yixing County and took more than one thousand cavalry to Guangde County, but Qi Fang had gone west to attack Xuanzhou.

Song has fled back to Yuezhou from the sea, appointed Zhang Jun as the commander of Jiangdong Road and Zhexi Road, and "all the generals are saved" to recover Jiankang. Zhang Jun's own troops were directly under the former Marshal Song Gaozong's office in Hebei Military Region. He only sent the non-directly affiliated troops of the former Zong Ze and the Tokyo Left-behind Division of Du Chong under the command of Yue Fei as strikers to attack the Jiankang House guarded by Nomads from the army. On April 25th, Yue Fei won the first battle in Qingshui Pavilion, which is located 30 miles south of Jiankang. The nomads from the army was lying dead for fifteen miles, and the head of the Jurchen wearing a gold and silver ring was cut off 175 [39]. Forty-five people from Jurchen Army, Bohai Army and Haner Sign Army were captured alive. At the beginning of May, Yue Fei arrived at Niutou Mountain, 12 miles west of Qingshui Pavilion. At night, hundreds of death squads dressed in black mixed with Jinying to disturb. The nomads were surprised and attacked and killed themselves.

Wan Yanzong Bi retreated to Longwan Town (Jing 'an Town, Jing 'an County) fifteen miles northwest of Jiankang City on May 10th. Yue Fei rode 300 horses and 2000 infantry to the new town, which was a great breakthrough. On May 1 1, Wan Yanzong Bi retreated from Longwan to Xuanhua Town, Liuhe County, Zhou Zhen on the other side of the Yangtze River. Yue Fei chased Longwan Town, realizing the last wish of "crossing the river for half an hour to attack the Jin Army" when the Jin State cut the Song Dynasty for the first time four years ago, and wiped out all the remaining Jin Army on the south bank. 8 Jin Jun suffered heavy losses, and Jurchen was beheaded. "Kubinashi, a bald man, worries about 3,000 people." More than 20 senior officers, including commander Liu Ge, were captured, and there were more than 300 Jin Bing in Longwan Town alone [42][39]. Han Shizhong and Yue Fei dealt a heavy blow to Jin Jun, so that when Yan Zongbi met his acquaintances in the north, he "cried at each other and sued for crossing the river" [43]. In this year, the will of Yan, the eldest brother of the Jin emperor, also expressed concern about the rapidly growing combat power of the Southern Song Dynasty: "My great concern is that the military situation in the Southern Song Dynasty has been strong in recent years and I am willing to fight." [44][45]

Wan Yanzong Bi fled to the north of Huaixi, and Song Jun recovered. However, Du Chong's immorality and incompetence, as well as the brutality of Jin Jun, have left a devastating mark on the health of nearly 200,000 people at that time. In addition to a large number of people captured by the nomads from the other side of the river, 70,000 to 80,000 mutilated bones were collected and buried in the next two years [46].

In late May, Yue Fei personally escorted these prisoners of war to Yuezhou, and met Song Gaozong Zhao Gou for the first time in his life. When Yue Fei met his boss Zhang Jun for the first time, Zhang Jun informed Yue Fei's court to send him to guard Raozhou (now Boyang County, Jiangxi Province) on Jiangnan East Road. Yue Fei thinks it is inappropriate to fight like this: "Health is the key place, it is appropriate to choose soldiers and stick to it, and it is still beneficial to defend Huai and protect the heart." Kingdom of Ghana, Song Gaozong.

Fan Zongyin recommended Yue Fei to Song Gaozong as the chief of Tongzhou Town, who was also from Taizhou. Yue Fei declined politely and changed her name to Huainan East Road. Then 8 jin j attack chuzhou, Song Gaozong aid Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun's own troops were directly under the former Marshal's Office in Song Gaozong, so he refused to go. He sent the non-directly under the former Tokyo left-behind divisions commanded by Yue Fei as the vanguard and ordered Liu Guangshi to send troops to help Yue Fei. Yue Fei Tun Sandun, soon arrived in Chengzhou, killed Gao Taibao in World War III and captured more than 70 Nuzhen chiefs. However, Liu Guangshi and others didn't follow suit. Yue Fei had not formed his own "Yue Jiajun" at this time, and the division could not save Chuzhou alone. Song Gaozong ordered Yue Fei to defend Tongzhou and Taizhou. If there is a purpose, he can defend it. If he can't defend, he can protect the people with sandbars and wait for the opportunity to cover it up. Yue Fei had no danger to lean on in Taizhou, surrendered to Chai City, moved to Nanba Bridge, and defeated the attacking Jin Army. Later, Yue Fei had more than 10,000 troops and set out to establish the so-called "Yue Family Army".

In July of the first year of Shaoxing (1 130), Song Ting reorganized a new regular army because the old "forbidden soldiers" had been scattered by the war. Zhang Jun and his subordinates are organized as "SHEN WOO Right Army", while Han Shizhong and his subordinates are organized as "SHEN WOO Zuo Jun", both of which are controlled by the capital [47]. Wang? His Ministry was compiled as "SHEN WOO Former Army" and Chen Sigong's Ministry was compiled as "SHEN WOO Rear Army", both of which were controlled. YueGuJun under the command of Zhang Jun, bugle call for "SHEN WOO right deputy army". Yue Fei sits in Hongzhou. The military forces of Yan, the former right deputy commander-in-chief, were included in the appeasement department of Jiangnan East Road, and the vacancy was filled by Yue Fei [48]. 10, Song Ting promoted the virtual title of Yue Fei's military attache to pro-doctor Wei He Jian Zhou observer, as an observer. 1February, Xin Qizong, who was controlled by "Deputy Army of SHEN WOO", was dismissed because of his ineffective suppression of Fan in Fujian [49], and Yue Fei's "Right Deputy Army of SHEN WOO" was renamed as "Deputy Army of SHEN WOO" and promoted to capital control.

At the end of the second year of Shaoxing (1 132), Yue Fei was appointed as the peace envoy and general manager of Jinghu East Road, and led the army to Tanzhou [50]. In February, the hawkish leader Li Gang was appointed as the propaganda ambassador of Guangnan Road in Beijing and Shanghai, and generals such as Yue Fei were assigned to Li Gang's subordinates [5 1] to punish Cao Cheng, a bandit on Hudong Road. At that time, Yue Jiajun's strength was 12000, Yue Fei stationed in Jizhou (now Ji 'an City, Jiangxi Province) with 2000, and attacked Cao Cheng's army with the remaining 10000 [52]. In the battle, Yue Jiajun had the advantage, but Cao Cheng's expert Yang Zaixing was extremely brave. First, he broke into the camp of Han Shunfu, the fifth leader of Yuegujun, and cut off Han's arm and died. Then he killed Yuefei's brother Yueshen. But Yang Zaixing was eventually captured by Yue Jiajun and became one of the famous experts of Yue Jiajun in the future. Li Gang praised Yue Fei for his "strong teeth, serious military management and outstanding achievements, which are rare in recent years" and asserted that he was "a famous ZTE star in different times". In the leap of June, Yue Fei was promoted to three positions, namely, doctor in central defence and ambassador in Wu 'an, which still belonged to five categories [53]. After the crusade against Cao Cheng, the strength of Yue Jiajun doubled, about 23,000 to 4,000, which was similar to that of Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun [54].

In September of the third year of Shaoxing (1 133), Yue Fei appeared in front of Song Gaozong for the second time. Song Gaozong personally inscribed the word "Zhong Yue Fei" and embroidered it into a battle flag, ordering Yue Fei to take the army as the teacher and be the grand commander. He appointed Yue Fei as the commander-in-chief of Shu Qi State on Jiangnan West Road, merged Shan Li stationed in qi zhou and Fu Xuan stationed in Zhajiang State into Yue Jiajun [55], and merged Zhou Shu and qi zhou defenses on Huainan West Road into Yue Fei's defense zone. Yue Jiajun's bugle number was also upgraded from "SHEN WOO's Deputy Army" to "SHEN WOO's Rear Army", but Yue Fei's official title was changed from "Full Control" to "Full Control" [56], because his junior qualifications were not as good as "SHEN WOO Zuo Jun" who controlled Han Shizhong and "SHEN WOO Right Army" who controlled Zhang Jun.

The first northern expedition

In the third year of Shaoxing (1 133), Song Shenwu, the deputy commander, the governor of Yunzhou Town in Suizhou, the prefect of Dengzhou in Xiangyang, Hengli in Xiangyang and Li Dao, the prefect of Suizhou, joined hands with Zhai Cong, Fengniu Villa in Yiyang County, and attacked Liu Yu in the north. The puppet troops defected one after another. Niu Hao, Peng Qi, Zhao Qi, Zhu Quan, Niu Bao and Zhu Wancheng joined forces with others, Dong Xian, Zhang Gui and Dong Zhen joined forces with others, and Juan, the pseudo-magistrate of the Tang Dynasty, was surrendered by Li Dao [106]. Hengli, Niu Hao and Peng Qi recovered Ruzhou (now Ruzhou City, Henan Province), Yingchangfu (now Xuchang City, Henan Province) and Xinyang Army (now Xinyang City, Henan Province) and other places. Zhai Cong, Dong Zhen, Zhang Gui, Dong Gui and Yedda Chiu. He invaded Xijing Nanfu and executed Meng Bangxiong, the pseudo-Qi Henan Yin who stole the imperial tomb of the Song Dynasty. But Liu Yu immediately turned to Jin Jun for help. In March, Yuan Shuai Zuodu met Wan Yanzong Bi, and Li Cheng led 20,000 puppet Qi troops to fight Song Jun in the northwest of Kaifeng. Hengli, Niu Hao and other troops were defeated by Jin Fang's heavily armored Tiefutu cavalry. By 10, Zhai Cong's Fengniu stronghold in Yiyang County, Dengzhou (now dengzhou city, Henan Province), Suizhou (now Suizhou, Hubei Province), Tang Zhou (now tanghe county, Henan Province), Xiangyang House, Yunzhou (now Zhongxiang, Hubei Province) and other places were successively captured and fell by Jin Jun, and Hengli,,, Dong Xian and Li Dao were successively lost. Li Cheng and Xu Yue of the Puppet Qi contacted the rebels of Yang Yao and Huang Cheng, who were independent of Dongting Lake, and agreed that in June next year, the Puppet Qi army and Yang Yao's army would go hand in hand, "join forces in the middle of Zhejiang" along the east of the river, destroy the regime of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the two sides would "establish a country" [107].

After being defeated by Song Jun in the Yangtze River valley, Li Dao and Niu Hao repeatedly wrote to Yue Fei and Zhao Ding, the envoy of Jiangnan West Road, asking for "restraining Yue Fei". Song Ting then merged Niu Hao, Dong Xian * * * and Li Dao into Yue Jiajun, and Zhang Gui was also placed under the jurisdiction of Yue Fei; Zhai Cong was appointed as the charger of Jiangnan East Road and became an independent army; Hengli and Yue Fei are basically at the same level, and neither of them wants to belong to Yue Fei. Their 15,000 troops were transferred to Zhang Jun, who had a higher official position.

In the fourth year of Shaoxing (1 134), in order to defeat the joint plan of the pseudo-Qi army and Yang, Yue Fei decided to hit Li Cheng first, and then Yang Yao. "Answer first, Li Cheng fled without division, and Yang Yao fell." The first time, the dirty soldiers came prepared, and then they would swell up. "In the imperial court, Prime Minister Zhu Shengfei supported this practice:" Xiangyang is the upper class, and Wu and Shu all enter. "If you get it, you can be a thief and retreat. I am trapped in shackles today, so I will take it first. " Zhao Ding, who has just transferred from Jiangnan West Road to the government to participate in politics, also supports Yue Fei: "Knowing the interests of the upper class, there is no reason to fly." [108] However, Chui Fu, who signed the Privy Council, opposed the appointment of Yue Fei to send troops [109], and Liu Guangshi, who was guarding Huainan West Road, also asked to replace Yue Fei in "handling Jingxiang" [10]. Finally, Song Ting decided that Yue Jiajun would send troops to recover Xiang Han, and Liu Guangshi Army would reinforce him. This army contained Yang in Dongting Lake. Song Ting formally appointed Yue Fei as the commander-in-chief of Jinghu Road, and added the title of "concurrently making Jingnan, Hubei and Yue" to the position of commander-in-chief. In the Yuejia army, the number of peace envoys in Jinghu Road increased by about 1900, and the number of Cui Bangbi increased by 3000, making it a military force in Jingnan Town. At that time, the total force of Yuegujun attacking six counties in Xiang Han was about 35,000.

Because the defeat had a great influence on the war situation, the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court attached great importance to Yue Fei's expedition. Before he left, Zhao Ding was afraid of Yue Fei's loss. He plays Emperor Gaozong: "Since your Majesty crossed the river, every time you send troops, you just want to fight thieves and never fight the enemy. (Yue) It is of great interest, or it rarely stumbles, which will benefit the false territory and despise the court. " In order to make Yue Fei's "generals fight to the death" and "help", Song Gaozong wrote in person, saying that Yue Fei had promised Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and Xu Qing that they could "rely on several battles" and "should be rewarded first", and gave Wang Gui and others a twisted gold shirt and a gold belt. Prime Minister Zhu Shengfei sent an envoy to inform Yue Fei that as long as he won, he would be awarded the title of this era. Song Gaozong also specially ordered SHEN WOO Right Army to select 100 horses for Yuegujun in Zhangjun and SHEN WOO Zhong Jun in Yang Yizhong respectively, and added the title of "concurrently Huangzhou, Fuzhou, Hanyang Army and De 'anfu" to Yuefei's official title. Yue Jiajun crossed the river from Ezhou to attack Yunzhou. Yue Fei swore to the staff in the middle of the river: "If you fly, you will not be handsome if you don't catch thieves, and you will return to your homeland and stay out of the river!" "

On May 5th, the 4th year of Shaoxing (1 134), Yue Jiajun drove to Yunzhou. The pseudo-Jiyun Zhou Zhi Jing Chao and the longevity magistrate Liu Ju led more than 10,000 troops to defend the city and refused to surrender. Due to the difficulty in logistics supply, Yue Jiajun's rations were only two meals, but Yue Fei said, "OK, I will break the thief the next day!" " At dawn on the 6th, Yue Jiajun began a general attack. Jing Chao committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, and Liu Ming was beheaded after being captured alive. Seven thousand people were killed by the pseudo-Qi defenders.

Then the soldiers of the Yue family were divided into two ways. Zhang Xian and Xu Qing led the army to attack Suizhou in the northeast, and Yue Fei led the main force to attack Xiangyang House stationed by Li Cheng, a puppet general in the northwest. Li Cheng fled without fighting. On May 7/Kloc-0, Yue Fei occupied Xiangyang [11]. On the other hand, Wang Song, the puppet ruler of Suizhou, could not persist, and Zhang Xi 'an and Xu Qinglian failed to attack for several days. Niu Hao volunteered, brought only three days' rations, and led the troops to support Zhang Xi 'an and Childe Xu. On May 18, three days before the food was finished, Niu Hao, Zhang Xian and Xu Qing jointly captured Suizhou City. Among them, 16-year-old Yue Yun made two iron cone guns weighing tens of kilograms, and the first one attacked Chengtou. Five thousand puppet Qi troops were wiped out, and Wang Song was captured and taken to Xiangyang for beheading [1 12].

Like the year before last (1 133), Liu Yu hastily dispatched troops and invited some nomads to gather in Xinye City, Longpi of Huyang, Zaoyang County of Suizhou (now Zaoyang City of Hubei Province), Tang Zhou and Dengzhou [1 13]. Yue Fei ordered Wang Wan, the prefect of Jingnan, to command Xintai to guard the Qingshui River and lure the pseudo-Qi army to attack. Xin did not dare to fight again, and fled to Yidu County (now Zhicheng, Hubei Province) without permission [1 14]. On June 5th, after Wang Wanjun fought the puppet Qi army, Yue Fei personally led the main force to defeat Li Chengjun. The next day, Li Cheng fought in array again, but made a tactical mistake made by Liu Bang in the battle of Pengcheng. Yue Fei saw the flaw. At the invitation of Wang Gui, Niu Hao and other generals, Yue Fei said, "Stop it. The thief has defeated me many times. I feel worse. He will have to practice, but it is still as dark as before. The advantage of infantry is to prevent danger, and the advantage of cavalry is flat and open; Cheng Nai left the cavalry on the river bank and the cavalry on the ground. Although there are hundreds of people, what can be done! " Yue Fei raised his whip and said to Wang Gui, "I will step with a pike, so I will right-click the cavalry." He also said to Niu Hao: "You are a cavalry, and you will attack from the left side of success." Similar to Liu Bangpeng's defeat in the Battle of Chengcheng, Li Cheng pushed the rear cavalry into the water and drowned, and the army collapsed. Li Chengyi's army was severely weakened, and later it could no longer fight back against Xiangyang. [ 1 15]

Liu Yu kept asking Jin Guo for help, but Hong Yanzong Bi was just defeated by the first army of Wu Jun in Xianrenguan in March, and the main force of Jin Jun was seriously damaged and its strength failed to recover. It coincides with the midsummer, and Jurchen can't stand the extreme heat, and is summering in the north. So only a second-class warrior named Liu Hezhen, whose surname is not recorded in the history books, was sent to meet Li Cheng, pieced together tens of thousands of troops from Shaanxi and Hebei, and camped in more than 30 places in the northwest of Dengzhou. [ 1 16]

After more than a month's preparation, Gui Wang and Zhang Xian set out for Dengzhou from Guanghua Road and Henglin Road respectively. On July 15, the armies of King Gui and Zhang Xian joined forces.
