Li Qingzhao's elder brother Li Jiong has a seventeen-year-old daughter. He is waiting for his name to be in the boudoir and has a beautiful appearance, just right for Yue Fei.,
Zhao Mingcheng's brothers and sisters, Li Qingzhao's brothers and sisters, came from Shandong at the end of the year, and Li Hu had not met them yet, so he didn't know that Li Qingzhao had a beautiful niece who was waiting to be named after her. After hearing the good news, Li Hu couldn't wait to tell his mother-in-law immediately. His mother-in-law was overjoyed and immediately invited Li Qingzhao to the side room for a detailed discussion.
Yue Fei was about to come up with the Central Plains offensive and defensive strategy and rushed to the front line, but Li Hu and the heads of the Privy Council focused their attention on the northwest battlefield and were at a loss for the battle situation in the Central Plains. Yue Fei had no choice but to accompany his mother in Luoyang. On that day, Li Gang went to Yue's mansion to visit his mother-in-law and proposed to Yue Fei, and the target was the daughter of Li Jiong, the new Jinghu two-way transshipment envoy.
This marriage was decided by Li Hu himself. He treated Yue's family and the Li family were closest relatives. This marriage undoubtedly made the two families more kin.
Yue Fei was also secretly happy. Two days ago, Li Hu invited the Zhao family and Li family at the house banquet. Yue Fei met the beautiful woman at the banquet. The two even talked for a while. Yue Fei was very moved, but he didn't expect that his dream would come true. Today
Prime Minister Li Gang came to be a matchmaker.
Li Hu didn't want Yue Fei to worry about his family, so he specifically told the two families to keep everything simple and get the wedding done at the end of this month.
On the 28th day of the first lunar month, Yue Fei married the daughter of the Li family... Although Li Hu asked for a brief answer, Yue Fei was his brother, with a noble status. Who dared to neglect in the court? Even the emperor far away in Chang'an sent congratulations.
Yue Fei is newlywed and the couple is in love. Behind this glorious scenery, Li Hu's expectations and trust for Yue Fei are deeply hidden.
The mother-in-law and the newly married wife all hoped that Yue Fei would be loyal to Li Hu to the death, and Yue Fei also quietly hid the little dissatisfaction in his heart.
Everyone in the court knows everything Li Hu does now, this. The world will soon no longer be named Zhao. Jinghu, the reason why there are prefectures and counties in the west of Jinghu rebel and surrender to the southeast is this. Yue Fei is also struggling in his heart. Too many things have happened this year, and everything has a strong impact. Morality and loyalty have become vulnerable, and beliefs have collapsed. The world suddenly becomes very ugly, dirty and shameless. Everyone, from the emperor to the fleeing people, has experienced a life.
Death Nirvana. Yue Fei was at a loss and at a loss for a while, but after returning to Luoyang this time, especially after marrying a beautiful bride, his chaotic mind gradually calmed down. The safety and happiness of his family are everything in his life. The one he wants to protect for the rest of his life is this family, and nothing else matters.

In early February, good news came from the Northwest battlefield.
Wu from Jingyuan Road severely damaged Dangxiang's main force at Shimen Fort, beheaded three thousand levels, and regained the northern defense line of Tiandu Mountain. Dangxiang people retreated in a panic.
Yao Ping and Zhong of Xihe Road defeated the Tubo people at Linsong Fort of Jishi Army and then besieged Xige City.
The Northwest Governor Wang Yuan urgently dispatched his main force to support Yao Pingzhong, and it is estimated that the war between the Jishi Army will end soon.

At the same time, the Xiangyang Grand Commander Mao Jun reported the victory.
In the first month of the year, Mao's army commanded the army and the rebel Tong Shimin from the southeast on Jinghu South Road
A war was fought in Liling. Tong Shimin was defeated and fled back to Jiangnan Road.
Now the Jinghu war has moved to the front line of Hanyang. The rebels in the southeast Nieshan gathered troops from Huainan West Road to attack Hanyang, and the Mao army has led the army from Changsha to the north.
The governor of Nanjing, Zhe Kecun, reported the news. In the first month of the year, Wu Min, rebels in the southeast, and Xin Xingzong led his army across the Huai River. Zhe Kecun commanded the army to block the enemy in Suzhou. The two sides fought fiercely for several days, and the rebels were defeated and retreated to the southern part of the Huai River.

All signs show that with the help of Tong Guan and Zhang Bangchang, the old emperor Zhao Ji had already gained a foothold in the Southeast and began to gradually fight back. The rebellion in the Southeast was obviously not satisfied with sticking to the Jianghuai River. They wanted to take advantage of the fierce battle between Li Hu and the Jin army in the Central Plains to take down Jingxiang, thus posing a threat to the Central Plains and laying a three-point pattern.
However, the hasty expansion of the Southeast Army will not be able to form strong combat power in the short term and will not threaten the security of Jingxiang. For the Chang'an court, the most urgent task is to defeat the Jin army in the Central Plains and give itself time to breathe.
On the night of the sixth day of the second month, Li Hu took Dong Xiaohou,
Chu Xiaoyao and Yue Fei invited the study room of the Shuai Mansion.
During the day, in the central discussion, it has been decided that in March or April, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army would fight the Jin army on the Central Plains battlefield. As for how to fight, there is no specific plan.
"We cannot defeat this battle no matter how much." Li Hu smiled, but the solemn expression in his eyes made Chu Xiaoyao and Yue Fei feel the heavy pressure on their shoulders.
"If we lose, we will be passive for a long time in the future. On the contrary, after the Jurchens won Hebei, Shandong and Central Plains, their strength increased greatly. Once they join forces with the rebels in the Southeast, even if the world maintains a three-point pattern, we will be the weakest side. If we want to unify the world, it will be nowhere to be possible."
Dong Xiaohou sighed, and then Li Hu said: "As for the current battlefield in the Central Plains, the only troops we can mobilize are the five-way Xuanfu Department, Luoyang and Nanjing, and the total strength is about 100,000. As a last resort, we transferred the Feiyun Army, the King of Hell Army, the Palace and the Guards from Chang'an, about 40,000 people. We used 140,000 troops to fight against the more than 200,000 Jin Army, and the chance of victory is not great."
“Two more
In the month, the Jin army will have more troops." Yue Fei said, "According to investigations by Hebei, Shandong and other places, the Jin thieves appointed Qian Dinggong as the commander of Hebei and Liu Yu as the commander of Shandong. They are forcibly recruiting troops in the two places. If nothing unexpected happens, they can form an army of more than 100,000 people based on the local troops of each state in the two places." Yue Fei shook his head repeatedly and felt heartbroken, "I never thought that there were so many rebellions in the Song Dynasty who sold the country and sought honor and were willing to recognize the thief as his father overnight."
Chu Xiaoyao looked at Yue Fei's sad and angry face and smiled bitterly, "Yue Xuanfu, you said, how many golden thieves are real Jurchens on the battlefield in the Central Plains? 30,000 or 50,000?"
Yue Fei gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"I remember when Wanyan Aguda defeated the Liao army in the Battle of Bubudagang, he assembled all the Jurchen army, 20,000 horse army, which should be the real Jurchen army." Chu Xiaoyao continued, "The Jurchens conquered Liaoyang and occupied the entire Liaodong, so the Han and Bohai people became the main force of the Jin army. After the Jin army conquered Zhongjing, the Khitans and Xi people became the main force of the Jin army one after another. In my opinion, the real Jurchen army in the Great Jin Kingdom would not exceed 50,000. Even in Meng'an Mouke, there were many Han and other foreign people in it."
"My Song Dynasty has a huge population, but where is my Song Dynasty's army?" Yue Fei's eyes suddenly turned red and his voice was hoarse. "On the battlefield in Hebei, there were more than 200,000 rebels alone, but the army was pitifully small. Why? If my Song Dynasty really had one million troops, how could he let the Jin thieves be rampant?"
"Okay, okay, don't say that these useless things." Li Hu shook his hand and signaled Yue Fei and Chu Xiaoyao not to talk about this topic anymore. "In a few years, as long as the finances improve, taxes can be collected every year. If we have money, it is okay to build a million-dollar army."

The study room was quiet. Yue Fei stabilized his mood and said, "I think it is not safe to transfer Chang'an's army to the Central Plains battlefield."
Dong Xiaochou nodded, "There is nothing to do. It is a miracle to win with less, but the possibility of miracles on the battlefield is too small. Throughout history, the two armies have to fight against each other, and in the end they have to rely on their strength."
"In addition to guarding the capital, the Chang'an army must also be guarded against the rebellion of the Northwest Army." Yue Fei said in a shocking way, "If both Yunshushang and Guishang were transferred to the battlefield of the Central Plains, the Northwest Army took the opportunity to rebel and entered Guanzhong to hold the emperor hostage, we
What should we do? Even if the Central Plains battlefield wins at that time, we will still be in internal strife and will still be defeated."
Li Hu, Dong Xiaochou, and Chu Xiaoyao looked at each other. They didn't expect that Yue Fei had such a deep prejudice against the Northwest Army.
The Northwest Army's rebellion? If this becomes a fact, Li Hu will definitely suffer a heavy blow, and the great cause of dominance will be even more unimaginable.
"The main responsibility for the great defeat of Banqiao is the Northwest Army, especially Liu Guangshi, who was defeated and fled at the last minute and should be killed according to the military rules." Yue Fei's voice was cold and exuded a sense of arrogance and domineering. "The Northern Expedition was because he was timid and timid, delayed and failed to advance, and missed the military opportunity, which led to Guo Yaoshi's failure and Yanjing's gains and losses. This person was not a source of war at all. I really couldn't figure out how he became a famous general in the Northwest? Could it be that he could become a famous general by relying on his ancestors' Yinze? It was a joke."
Li Hu's face was a little embarrassed. In order to take into account the overall situation, Li Hu did not severely punish Liu Guangshi, but demoted him and transferred him back to Linyan Road, Shaanxi to serve as the commander of the General Secretary. Yue Fei's dissatisfaction was actually targeting Li Hu. Although he did not directly accuse Liu Guangshi, scolding Liu Guangshi was equivalent to smearing Li Hu's face.
Dong Xiaochou coughed twice, reminding Yue Fei to stop and not embarrass Li Hu.
Yue Fei was angry and turned a blind eye. He stared at Li Hu and continued, "If you just stick to the Northwest people, the Northwest people will threaten you and look down on you. The demand for interests will become greater and greater. Once you can't meet them, they will betray them. You must know that they can do what you can do. The Northwest people are not trustworthy at all. You should take advantage of this opportunity to cut off all the mess, solve them all, and completely eliminate hidden dangers."
Li Hu wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know what to say. Now that he has not yet established a firm foothold, he must win over the people of the Northwest and work together within him. If he can't wait to deal with the people of the Northwest, there will be civil strife and the situation will be out of control. However, Yue Fei's perspective on the problem is different. From the Hebei battlefield to the Central Plains battlefield, the Northwest Army has repeatedly caused him great trouble, and even wanted to destroy him for a while, Yue Fei could not help it. This time, he thought that he could solve Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi and his son with the great defeat of Banqiao, but Li Hu gave him a big "accident". Not only did he not severely punish the Liu family, but he deliberately comforted him, which made Yue Fei extremely resentful.
"The army in Chang'an really cannot move?" Li Hu asked.
"Absolutely not move." Yue Fei waved his hand hard, "And I think it is very inappropriate for you to hand over the important task of garrisoning Shaanxi to the Northwest Army."
