It was Yue Fei who shot it, but it was just a shot. Hai Dongqing landed on the embankment on the other side of Yongji Canal. Without even looking at it, Hai Dongqing reined in his horse and ran away to find the important officials from Tokyo.

We walked to the bank of the Yellow River further northwest. There, on one side, logistics goods were being transferred non-stop, and on the other side, many civilians took small boats along the shore to destroy the thin ice on both sides. Among them, a purple-robed man on the embankment on the shore

The figure of the member seemed too prominent.

Yue Fei dismounted his horse in advance and hurried forward. When he came up to him, when he saw his counselor Huang Zong and others, they were all respectful and cautious, and he became even more cautious.

However, even though he was mentally prepared, when the purple-robed officer approached him and turned around, Yue Fei was still frightened for a moment, and then actually took the initiative as a marshal to offer his hands and greet him respectfully.

All the previous preparations and calmness flew to Java in an instant.

It turned out that the person who came was none other than Hu Yin and Hu Mingzhong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was a leader among the civil servants of the dynasty, with extremely high qualifications, great achievements, and a very high status.

Although Hu Yin is only a few years older than Yue Fei and is only one of the six ministers, he is also Yue Fei's undoubted choice. He has served as the censor Zhongcheng equivalent to half a prime minister, served as the governor of Kansai, and previously served as the Ministry of Industry.

As Shangshu, he was in charge of the logistics construction of the Northern Expedition... The so-called three ministers of Jingkang Taixue, the one who can bite Zhao and Zhang now, or even control the two of them, is none other than this Shangshu Hu.

It's Chen Gui and Liu Ji, the two deputy prime ministers, who are probably both fake inside when facing this person.

What's more, unlike other civil servants, Hu Yin mostly participated in military planning because of his main battle stance. He accompanied him in the Battle of Yanling, was the governor of northern Shaanxi in the Battle of Yaoshan, was in charge of logistics in Pingxia, and was also in charge of rear transportation during the Northern Expedition.

He came forward to restrain Han Shizhong, arrested Qu Duan, promoted the Wu Jie brothers, and killed Yang Zheng. Of course, in the early years, he personally recommended Yue Fei, who was still a miscellaneous soldier, to directly serve as the governor.

His ability to suppress and intimidate his commanders is naturally unique.

How can such a person be regarded as an ordinary minister? But once this person arrives, all the words and preparations pale.

"Marshal Yue."

Hu Yin turned around and saw Yue Fei arriving. He looked calm and handed over his hand directly. "All the ministers are already aware of your plan, and I have also received your private message... The military is serious, don't waste time, where is your central army tent? Hurry up.

Take me there, and then summon Zhang Jiedu and Deputy Tian, ​​I have something to say."

"I would like to comply with Duke Ming's wishes." Yue Fei became more and more nervous, but he could only respond with his hands raised.

In this way, after hurriedly walking by the river for a while, Hu Yin immediately transferred to the Chinese army's tent, and then did not speak to Yue Fei. Even when Yue Fei asked him to take a seat first, he refused, and he did not use food or water, but just waited...

This made the atmosphere more solemn.

Fortunately, Tian Shizhong was supervising the construction of Tushan in the north of Yuancheng. At this time, he heard Yue Fei's call and flew over on Pegasus. He arrived in a moment. However, Zhang Rong went to 'explore' the lower reaches of the West Fork of the North Road of the Yellow River and kept waiting.

After more than an hour, in the afternoon, I was late.

"Everyone else, get out."

Seeing Zhang Rong also arriving, Hu Yin finally spoke, but as soon as he came up, he excluded all the idle people.

Yue, Zhang, and Tian looked at each other in confusion. They felt that they had lost all their thoughts and confidence before, and they had to face each other with all their strength. They couldn't help but feel even more uneasy.

And sure enough, when all the court officials and attendants left and there were only four people left in the tent, Hu Mingzhong made the three people's hearts sink to the bottom with one word:

"Mi Ge Gong Lun, Yue, Zhang, and Tian played with the enemy and allowed the invaders to support their troops. They respected themselves and relied on their favor to become arrogant. I deeply agree with this."

As soon as these words came out, Tian Shizhong's face turned pale, and Zhang Rong was at a loss for a moment... Maybe it was because he didn't understand the meaning of these three words... And Yue Fei could only quickly hand it over:

"Ming Gong is kind!"

"Can Yue Jiedu allow me to finish?" Hu Yin responded coldly.

Yue Fei could only remain silent.

"The Secret Pavilion believes that the Hebei Front Army abandoned the three prefectures without authorization, causing more than 100,000 people to be displaced in the middle of winter. This was not only suspected of abandoning the land, but also caused a sharp increase in logistical pressure. The military supplies that the country had accumulated for three years were in vain.

Unplanned dumping... no matter how much you three argue about this, you can't change the fact that it has caused turmoil and trouble to the country... right?" After saying this, Hu stood on one side of the Chinese military tent.

Yin just looked around the three of them and asked formally, "You three can talk about this first."

Yue Fei did his part.

However, under the attention of the other two people, he faced each other, but he hesitated to say anything. In the end, he could only confess: "The abandonment of the three states was to concentrate troops, but it caused the displacement of 100,000 Hebei people. It was really because of my lack of consideration...

…I am the marshal of the Hebei Front Army, and when questioned by Tokyo, I have no words to defend myself...Only because the war is serious, I ask the Prime Ministers of Tokyo and the Secret Pavilion Yuanren to allow me to go and plead guilty after the war.”

Hu Yin nodded and continued to respond with a stern face: "The Secret Pavilion also discussed the military plan you submitted to the Privy Council. They all said that you were ambitious and wanted to gain personal success, hijacking a large number of troops and plotting evil..."

"Mr. Hu." Someone finally couldn't help interrupting Hu Mingzhong, but it turned out to be Tian Shizhong who was anxious for the moment. "There are more than 65,000 soldiers in front of the imperial camp, the right army, and the navy, plus 780,000 civilians. The total is

There are 140,000 to 50,000 people, but no one can bear this crime!"

"Do you and Jiedu think so too?" Hu Yinli ignored Tian Shizhong and looked directly at the other two.

Although Zhang Rong didn't understand those words, he knew what they meant by ambition and evil intentions, and he immediately handed them over angrily: "Me too!"

"No matter what, I never have such intention!" Yue Fei just reluctantly handed over his hand, but unexpectedly, he was not as emotional as Zhang Rong and Tian Shizhong.

"Then do you know why everyone in the Secret Pavilion thinks so?" Hu Yin stared at Yue Fei and asked.

Yue Fei remained silent.

Seeing this, Hu Yin continued to respond with a dark face: "It seems that you know... Mi Ge thinks that by doing this, you are leaving Tokyo in front of the enemy, and you are risking millions of people in Tokyo, as well as the queen mother, noble concubines, and virtuous concubines.

, Princes, the safety of the princess is at risk... Some people say that you are a worse person than Fan Qiong, who supports soldiers and respects himself, and some people say that you are a person who is more ridiculous than Liu Guangshi, who deceives the world and steals fame. And if this is the only person in the Secret Pavilion,

You are being criticized and talked about like this, but someone in the palace wants to kill you!"

Hearing this, Yue Fei was relieved, and just calmly said, "Ming Gong, Fei's original intention is revealed."

Hu Yin was silent for a moment and did not reply for a while.

Tian Shizhong, on the other hand, hurriedly stepped forward again to explain: "Hu Gong... the imperial camp's front army, right army, navy, and navy totaled 90,000, and the navy was small. The remaining three armies totaled more than 80,000 soldiers, although they were damaged.

Today, the total number of soldiers here is only over 60,000, and the remaining cities and towns are not vacant. Xiajin, Gaotang and Jinan are connected to the east, and Puyang behind us is now in our hands. It can be sandwiched between Baima... and Shaoxing.

The river sticks to the north gate of Tokyo..."

"You just say that once the Yellow River freezes, the Jin Army abandons these cities and you, and then marches directly to the city of Tokyo. The old events of Jingkang will happen again. How should you react?" Hu Yin listened impatiently and spoke again.

, interrupted the other party.

Tian Shizhong was frightened for a moment and quickly said again: "Mr. Hu, at this moment and that moment, the Jin army will not abandon Daming Mansion and go south!"

"Yes." Zhang Rong also became serious. "Hu Shangshu will know after thinking about it. In Jingkang, the navy on the river was useless. What about our navy in the imperial camp now? If he dares to go south, he only needs to survive.

After the ice is over, I will lock the Jin Army in Henan...and then I might be able to directly attack the Huanglong Mansion!"

Hu Yin nodded, glanced at Yue Fei, who had been silent all his life, and then continued to speak seriously: "So, let's not talk about whether Tokyo can be defended or whether the Jin army will go south. We only want to talk about one thing, that is, the three of them are

Frankly speaking, if the Jin army really goes south, even if it reaches the gates of Tokyo, you will not be able to save it... right or wrong?"

Zhang Rong was speechless for a moment, and Tian Shizhong also fell silent.

"Yes!" After a while, Yue Fei suppressed all his thoughts and faced each other. "The achievements of ten years are all here, and Tokyo seems dangerous, but in fact there is no need to worry. If the Jin Kingdom really sends its army south, the general will think that Chen Shuxiang

It can be properly defended for dozens of days, or even less time, and the last general...the last general will not really pursue easily! Instead, he will step up the siege of Daming Mansion to prevent it from going south!"

Hu Mingzhong looked deeply at the other party again and asked calmly: "What if the Queen Mother of Tokyo issues the decree? Will the province or the Privy Council come to urge it?"

"The last general will only recognize the will of the officials." Yue Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Before the officials left, I publicly promised the last general the right to decide Hebei."

"Do you know what the consequences will be if this word spreads?" Hu Yin kept asking.

"After about this battle, even if you achieve an unparalleled feat, you will be despised by the princes in Tokyo, and then just sit idle and never be used again." Yue Fei responded calmly. "But on the other hand, if such a battle can achieve an unparalleled achievement,

, I will fly to death without any regrets, let alone be rejected by others?"

"Actually, it's that simple."

Hu Yin nodded, and finally sighed with his hands behind his hands. "Everyone knows that even if we take ten thousand steps back, the Jin Army really went south and captured the city of Tokyo. The world was shocked. But now and then, they didn't

Maybe someone like Jingkang who won just like that would have to gain a city and lose the world... Because the official family is in Hedong, smart people in the world probably understand that since our official family can re-establish the imperial court in exile, then

Naturally, we can set up a second time. What's more, at this time, the government has 300,000 imperial troops, the main force of the Jin army is locked up, and they can know the response. It is completely possible to break through Taiyuan, go to Yanjing, and attack Huanglong... But Peng

For example, no matter how reasonable your calculations are and how optimal they are from a military perspective, since there is a danger of exposing Tokyo, then all the princes in Tokyo, whether it is a secret palace or a public palace, will all hate you.

It's deep in your bones, because they are in Tokyo, you have put them in a 'disposable' position, at least they seem to be 'disposable'! How did Kou Zhun lose power? You are also a student, don't you know?"

Yue Fei just lowered his head and said nothing.

"And let's be honest, this time, even I am disgusted with you handsome ministers." Hu Mingzhong continued. "Do you know why?"

Yue Fei also thought of what the other party said at the beginning, "I also deeply agree", but he finally said seriously: "I am ashamed, but I really don't feel that Duke Ming and the Dukes are really abandonable..."

"That's not what I mean, at least it's more than that." Hu Yin clasped his hands and sighed. "What we people hate about you is that you always rely on the overall situation to need you, so you force all the well-intentioned people in the world to talk about the overall situation.

People are doing things for you...Forcing the people in the south to raise taxes to support you, forcing the city of Tokyo to turn into a military camp, forcing cultural trends, and royal ceremonies to all turn into your coal and artillery carts, forcing the lazy and casual

Sexual officials have no choice but to collude with you warriors, abandon the importance of being a leader, and become the greatest military leader... This persecution will not be changed just because you Yue Fei served the country with loyalty, nor will it be changed just because of your Zhang Zhang.

How can Rong act on behalf of heaven? This is what the hundreds of thousands of imperial troops have been doing to the country year after year, making it impossible for the country to function normally! In the past few years, I have been responsible for the military preparations for the Northern Expedition, and the thing I think about most often is

That is to say, these things are the people’s wealth and anointment gathered from the whole country. If they are consumed and nothing can be done, how can we see the Jiangdong elders?!"

Tian Shizhong, who was highly educated, was a little confused, but Yue Fei could completely understand what he meant. Unexpectedly, Zhang Rong also seemed to understand.

"Yue Pengju." Hu Yin finally dusted off the dust on his purple robe, and then faced each other with hands tied. "I tell you clearly... In order for you to succeed, this time, several ministers have really tried their best, and Mr. Lu dismissed the palace.

, Xianggong Zhao and Xianggong Zhang almost suppressed the Secret Pavilion. Xianggong Chen risked the lives of more than a hundred members of his family on the spot and swore that the city of Tokyo would be unbreakable. Furthermore, as you reminded me in your private message, I snatched Xianggong Zhang’s whereabouts and came to stay in the army.

As for the fuel transfer at the rear, you don’t have to worry. Since I’m here, there is no possibility of delaying the rear. Of course, now that things have happened, talking about these things seems to be taking credit... But this battle, or this Northern Expedition

, you must do your best, try your best to hold back the main force of the Jin Army, so as to achieve your unparalleled success, because even I have to say on behalf of all the people in the rear, no one wants to come back for another ten years after such hard work!
