Zhao Jiu first visited the major ministers and then asked about the situation in the court. In fact, over the past six months, the court would report all important matters to the Zhao official family far away in Sichuan and Shaanxi in the form of documents.

Including major personnel transfers, front-line battle situations, taxes, natural disasters and man-made disasters, etc.

Zhao Jiu didn't know anything when he was blind, but at most he just didn't know some small things.

What Zhao Jiu was most concerned about was actually the war. Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun were responsible for this Northern Expedition, with the purpose of accumulating rich experience for the next general attack.

Zhao Jiu looked at him and said:

"Good minister, Bo Ying, you two have the most say in the war in the north. Although this Northern Expedition is mainly feinted, I hope that you can come up with specific plans and take back the old capital in one fell swoop. How do you think you will deal with it?"

Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun looked at each other. As the bravery of Zhao Guan family, Han Shizhong took the lead in speaking:

"Officials, we have also figured out the truth and facts. The soldiers of Yan dare not fight, and the soldiers of Qi do not fight, so only Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou and others have some strength, but the focus is still on the Jin soldiers.

If the Jin soldiers refused to give up the north, we would have to assemble at least 300,000 troops and horses, and we would have to rely on the Western Army to get involved, otherwise it would be difficult to accomplish anything."

Han Shizhong tried his best to think about it worse. After all, the Jin soldiers had too strong deterrence in field battles, and there were too many plains in the north. Unlike Jiangnan, they could also rely on favorable terrains such as hills to fight step by step.

Moreover, if the Song Dynasty wanted to continue, there would be no money or food. Sichuan still owed five years of taxes, and Shaanxi had been destroyed. Now the Western Army and the Dangxiang people still had to compete for some areas. There were no big wars and constant small wars, which was another huge expense.

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, so the Northern Expedition cannot continue for the time being.

After this year's hiding his strength and maintaining a low profile, Zhang Jun has become much more low-key. After all, he has no choice but to gain a promotion. The rest can only rely on accumulation of qualifications. When the real Northern Expedition comes, he will make achievements and see if he can find a Duke of Yan or the King of Yan.

Zhang Jun just said:

"If you are in the Northern Expedition, I will wear armor to go out to the expedition, clear the ant hole for Your Majesty, and lift the three-foot green edge to make a great contribution to the immortality."

Zhao Jiu patted his shoulder eagerly, and the other party grinned, and the king and his ministers looked at each other and smiled. Not only did the relationship between Zhao Jiu and Zhang Jun not become distant because of the long time, but became increasingly closer.

After all, they were brothers who fought side by side through life and death. Once they fought against Caishiji and the other time they fought against Jiankang in blood. Naturally, they were more eager than other military generals.

Zhao Jiu asked one by one, and everything was fine and some jokes, which immediately eased the relationship between the king and the minister.

Zhao Jiu looked at Liu Guangshi, the long-distance running general of our Song Dynasty Yongming. It was strange to say that the combination of Liu Guangshi and Yue Fei was simply made of heaven.

Both of them are experts in bandit suppression, and they are also the team that the court is least concerned about among the three battlefields. They have quick results, good results, and little consumption. Several of their husbands have asked for credit for Yue Fei and Liu Guangshi. After all, they have protected the safety of Jiangnan.

Nowadays, the people in Jiangnan do not popularize Qin Qiong as the door god. Instead, they stick Yue Fei and Liu Guangshi at the door to exorcise evil spirits and avoid disasters, and the effect is very good.

I heard that the bandits came, and they didn't dare to enter. They said that General Liu and General Yue were watching from the sky, so how could they dare to make trouble?

Although this statement is a bit superstitious, the more exaggerated and bizarre it is spread among the people, and even becomes a folk remedy passed down by word of mouth.

Zhao Ji did not have much expectations for Liu Guangshi. Unexpectedly, this person actually found his own shining point. He just wiped out Li Cheng and Cao Cheng, the two giant bandits entrenched in Jiangnan, were left with only two or three big cats, and the most difficult thing to deal with in Hunan Zhong Xiangyang Yang Yao.

"Your dear is indeed not insulting your family. I feel no comfort. I will hold a banquet tomorrow and I will pay my respects to you three big cups."

Liu Guangshi suddenly felt that his bones were lighter, and he was so happy that he couldn't find him.

After saying a lot of touching words, Zhao Jiuyouxuan said, and then talked a few more times. Finally, he looked at his big shot impatiently and served Yue Wumu.

It doesn’t matter whether you open a cheat or not, and it doesn’t matter whether you raise a big account or not. Zhao Jiu just simply wanted to relax and threw the famous coach out early, so that Jin Wushu could also taste the power of the king.

Almost every time these wars were a life-threatening death, and almost lost. Zhao Jiu didn't want to learn from that slap chicken, and he would come to the battle of national fortunes at all times. It was not good to be a gambler after all. It would be better to have an extremely stable Zhao Guan family.

In Zhao Jiu's opinion.

The others are tool people, and only those generals are the saber abc whom he strives to train. He became a spring commander with peace of mind. Just as he watched Yue Fei and the others be super gods all the way, the title of Emperor Guangwu of Song can be implemented.

Zhao Jiu walked to Yue Fei and felt secretly proud of him. If you let Yue Fei get the five kills, you should be obediently and let me become Emperor Guangwu of Song in the end.

From the time he went to the army to support Jiankang, Yue Fei fought for eight years and went through more than 200 battles in all sizes, he finally became a young general who led the elite troops.

After the Jin soldiers retreated, the Song soldiers who had fled before became bandits and continued to riots in Jiangxi, and the two lakes were rampant.

The so-called new generation of young generals who are emerging are probably Yue Fei temporarily ranked first, and Liu Qi, Wu Jie's younger brother Wu Lin and others are also among the top.

Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Li Yanxian should be regarded as outstanding middle-aged generals.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month this year, Yue Fei received an edict to recruit envoys with Jianghuai, and the Song Dynasty's attack on the thief and the prime minister Liu Guangshi fought against Li Cheng.

Li Cheng called himself "King of Li Tian" and invaded the Jianghuai area when the Jin soldiers invaded the south. Later, Li Cheng was in charge of Jiangzhou, with hundreds of thousands of troops, which meant to sweep the south of the Yangtze River.

Yue Fei marched quickly and followed Liu Guangshi to Hongzhou. Then, the bandit general Ma Jin, who came to fight, also led 100,000 troops to set up camps and confront the Song army across the river, with a strong morale.

Faced with the great enemy, Liu Guangshi was promoted to the tent to discuss matters, and the soldiers proposed to send troops to attack each other.

Speaking of the specific measures for marching and fighting, Yue Fei proposed that based on Ma Jin's characteristics of "greed but not caring about the future", it is recommended to win with surprise troops.

After Yue Fei crossed the river, he led his troops to charge into battle and attacked Ma Jin's right wing; there were also Song troops attacking and assisting, and indeed Ma Jin was defeated, and 50,000 thieves were captured.

Ma Jin led the remaining troops to flee in a hurry, but was closely pursued by Yue's army.

Ma Jin fled to a earth bridge and wanted to cross the river to escape, but unexpectedly the earth bridge suddenly collapsed and had no way to retreat, so he had to lead five thousand troops to counterattack.

Yue Fei once again showed his superb cavalry and shooting skills, shooting the enemy's vanguard general with one arrow. Then the warriors of the Yue family army fought bravely to kill the enemy, causing the thieves to be defeated and the horses fled to Yunzhou.

The next day, Ma Jin took a desperate bet and sent all his troops to prepare for a decisive battle with the Song army. Yue Fei was confident and led only 200 people, holding up the "Yue" flag to the outside of the city to fight.

Seeing that Yue Fei was weak, the bandits launched a rash attack. However, shortly after the two armies fought, a large number of Song troops suddenly appeared around them and besieged from all sides.

The situation of the comparison of troops reversed. The shocked Ma Jin army had no fighting spirit, and eight thousand men voluntarily surrendered. Ma Jin fled all the way, was caught in the trap many times, lost 5,000 troops, and had no power to resist. There was only more than ten people left by his side.

When the thief leader Li Cheng heard the news, he led a 100,000 army to fight against the Song army, but was defeated by Liu Guangshi.

Yue Fei took advantage of the victory and lined up in Wuning, Jiangxi for 30 miles, preparing to wipe out the last tens of thousands of bandits on the Xiushui River.

If there is a help from the gods during the war, the surge of Xiushui blocked Li Cheng's way across the river. Yue's army occupied the best time and place, and the enemy would collapse without attacking.

Since then, Li Cheng brought one of the few defeated soldiers to surrender to Qi. The Song army did not rush a single shot or a single shot, but did not rush a single shot.

Liu Guangshi highly praised Yue Fei. On the one hand, Liu Guangshi knew his abilities, and on the other hand, he was very optimistic about Yue Fei, the little brother, so he was attracted to him as a confidant and frequently recommended him.

Zhao Jiu was very pleased. Since the big shot was not aborted, it would be great. Lord Liu should save your worries. Don’t turn my Yue Fei into a long-distance running general.

The king and his ministers all enjoyed each other, and the welcome ceremony ended. They each returned home on their own. The agreement became a custom. The big guy decided to hold a big banquet tomorrow to celebrate the victory and welcome the officials.
