Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 136-Awakening
Come to think of it, this torch with a faint flame that was extinguished by the river in an instant was so similar to his life for more than 20 years.

Yue Fei held the bridge tightly with both hands, staring intently at the bottomless river, his face full of sadness.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head and glanced at the gloomy night sky.

He immediately became cruel and decided to turn around and return to the military camp to join Han Shizhong.

It was already Xupai time, and the night wind was cold, but Yue Fei didn't care and strode toward the vast road ahead.

By the way, in the Great Song Dynasty Hall, people did not retire until this hour today.

After a whole day, Emperor Huizong and the civil and military officials in the court discussed two specific policies.

First, Emperor Huizong fully approved Ying Earl's proposal, that is, three days later when the Jin army invaded aggressively, the first battle of Bianliang defense would be held.

Of course, for the sake of the emperor's safety, if this first defense battle does not go well, or if the losses are really heavy.

Then, Emperor Huizong would leave Bianliang City immediately, and would no longer attempt to defend Bianliang for the second time.

Second, starting from tonight, they will use the fastest speed of [-] to dispatch troops from all over the world and gather in Bianliang.

For example, people who were relegated to remote areas by the court or the emperor because of certain incidents will also be restarted and reused at this time.

In this case, one person has to be mentioned.

In the third year of Xuanhe's reign, he was sent to the border civil servant Zongze by Emperor Huizong because he contradicted Emperor Huizong in court.

He was recalled from the border area to Bianliang by an imperial edict from Emperor Huizong.

The proposal to transfer Zongze back to Bianliang no matter what happened was made by the earl.

Earl Ying remembered very clearly that in history, Zongze was the first Shangguan who loyally followed Yue Fei.

Although Zong Ze was born as a mere civil servant, with his courage, he indeed made some achievements in the battle between the Song Army and the Jin Army in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

Based on this, Count Ying first asked Emperor Huizong to transfer the civil servant Zongze back to Bianliang City.

Emperor Huizong had no objection to this.

To be honest, if Count Ying had not mentioned Zongze, Emperor Huizong would have almost forgotten that there was such a prominent figure in the court.

After retiring from the court, the civil and military officials left one after another from the court hall.

Earl Ying took advantage of the night and walked quickly all the way forward.

He kept looking into the distance, and when he saw Li Shangshu from the Ministry of War, he trotted all the way.

He ran to Li Shangshu, looked at Li Shangshu and said seriously: "Li Shangshu, I have something to ask for. I don't know if you can fulfill it."

With a smile on his face, Li Shangshu looked at Earl Ying and said, "Just tell me when you have something to do. If I can accomplish what I have to do, it must be my duty."

Earl Ying glanced at the others first, then pulled Li Shangshu into the dark, and said to Li Shangshu, "The battle is imminent, and many adults are urgently gathering their strength."

"I just arrived in Bianliang, and I haven't had time to develop my own power."

"I want to ask Li Shangshu for two unknown people here. These two unknown people are what I want you to help Li Shangshu."

Li Shangshu frowned and asked: "Master Ying, do you just want two unknown people? Please tell me, who are they?"

Earl Ying said categorically: "One is in his 20s and his name is Yue Fei. The other is in his 30s and his name is Han Shizhong."

Li Shangshu twirled his beard, nodded thoughtfully, looked at the pale moonlight in the night sky and said softly: "These two people... I really have never heard of them before." An unknown person, what kind of virtue and ability can make Mr. Ying take care of you."

Earl Ying smiled and joked: "On the one hand, it is to gather strength, and on the other hand, it is also because my wife's family and his are from the same hometown, so I can take care of them by taking them under my command. Take care of them both."

Li Shangshu finally understood and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Ying, I will definitely handle this matter for you."

Earl Ying took out a note with the names of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong from his pocket, and handed it to Li Shangshu.

Because the directions of their homes were completely opposite, they parted in front of the palace gate.

After Li Shangshu returned home, he fell asleep and woke up early the next morning. The thing that Earl Ying had asked him to help with the previous night immediately appeared in his mind.

He immediately ordered his men to search for Yue Fei and Han Shizhong among the three armies.

He handed the note given to him by Earl Ying to his subordinates.

Li Shangshu's men immediately accepted the order and were about to turn around and leave. Suddenly they remembered something and hurriedly asked: "If there is anyone with the same name, can you bring them together?"

Li Shangshu thought for a while and said, "This one is called Yue Fei, you just choose someone in his twenties. This one is called Han Shizhong, you just choose someone in his thirties."

"If there are names with the same name, bring them with you."

After receiving the order, Li Shangshu's men searched for Yue Fei and Han Shizhong among the three armies as quickly as possible.

Things went very smoothly, and they were found within two hours.

Among the three armies, there are indeed people with the same name as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, but most of them are not of the same age as them.

For example, there are two people named Yue Fei under the account of General Feitian, but one of the two named Yue Fei is 48 years old and the other is 52 years old.

At that time, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others were staying in the military tent, bored.

Han Shizhong was so drunk that he smelled of alcohol all over his body.

Pointing his finger at Yue Fei's face, he said, "You clearly made it clear the day before that you don't want to stay in this hellish place any longer."

"I don't know whether I'm alive or dead, but why do you go and come back?"

Without hesitation, Yue Fei replied: "The land of Kyushu is devastated, it should be the time when we, the loyal patriots, come forward."

Although Han Shizhong was almost drunk and unconscious, he still looked stunned when he heard what Yue Fei said.

After a long time, he slowly asked: "Supposedly, serving the country with loyalty and loyalty has nothing to do with us. Why do you call yourself a person who serves the country with loyalty and loyalty?"

Sun Shaohu and Liu Ran on the side also curled their lips and said, "Cut, you are still serving the country loyally. In this country, there is a fart to repay!"

Yue Fei's next answer left them both speechless.

Yue Fei said: "For thousands of years, the land of Kyushu has gone through so many dynasties. This land has nourished thousands of creatures. Our ancestors have lived on this land all their lives."

"The country in my heart is completely different from the country you imagined."

Han Shizhong nodded and said thoughtfully: "I understand what you mean. Anyway, it is not the Song Dynasty that you want to repay with your loyalty to the country, right?"

Yue Fei nodded, and said decisively: "That's right, exactly."
