Huaixi.
Yue Fei was very concerned about these 40,000 people and personally came to reorganize them.
However, there were more difficulties than he had imagined.
The commander of the Huaixi Army, Liu Shiguang, was very famous.
However, unlike Yue Fei, he was not famous for fighting.
Both inside and outside the imperial court had given him a name in private, the Running General.
This was because Liu Shiguang was really good at running. He even ran out of art and became a legend.
The first time he ran away was when the Jin army conquered Bianjing. The entire south bank of the Yellow River was in chaos.
When Liu Shiguang saw the golden man, he fled. When he crossed the river, he met someone.
Song Gaozong, Zhao Gou, who was being chased by 500 golden cavalry.
A commander of the five armies ran out and was promoted to commander of the palace.
He became the chief officer of the Palace Division, which only existed in name.
The next month, Miao and Liu rebelled, and he was the first to run over as he was ready to " change his strategy " at any time.
Together with Han Shizhong, he killed the rebel general and was promoted to Marshal and Deputy Envoy of the Imperial Camp. His subordinates were called the Deputy Envoy Army of the Imperial Camp.
Later, he served as Xuanfu Envoy of Jiangdong, guarding Taiping Prefecture and Chizhou.
Then, the golden man arrived.
Liu Shiguang once again led his men to " advance strategically "!
On the way, they met the bandits from Hebei who attacked Li Qiong and brought him south.
Was he punished for running away for the third time?
The answer was no.
Running General Liu Shiguang became the governor of the city, and he was also the pacifying envoy of Liangzhe Road and the governor of Zhenjiang.
He also served as the third secretary of the government.
After that, Jin General Wanyan Chang led his army to attack Chu Zhou. This time, Liu Shiguang was not in a hurry to escape.
After all, he had quite a lot of soldiers under him and a general like Li Qiong who could fight.
However, they did not send troops to rescue them, nor did they listen to the orders of the Imperial Court.
When an ally was in trouble, he would not move like a mountain!
Sending out a few people to harass the golden men would be enough to let down the officials and the imperial court.
In the next few years, the situation stabilized.
Because the golden men were advancing too quickly, the logistics could not keep up.
Therefore, they supported the fake Qi State and used the Song people to fight the Song people to exhaust the strength of the Zhao and Song countries.
Liu Shiguang changed his opponent. The fake Qi was also from the Song Dynasty, so he should be able to beat them.
However, he still ran when he should and did not fight if he could.
Until last year, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty was considered to have personally led the army and was stationed in Jiankang.
The puppet Qi Liu Lin crossed the Huai River to attack the Song Dynasty, and Liu Shiguang ran away again!
However, this time, he did not manage to escape because the officials were still behind him!
You're still running?
Under the supervision of Prime Minister Zhang Jun, Liu Shiguang was forced to return to the army and attack helplessly.
Then, Wang De, Li Qiong and other generals led the army to defeat the puppet Qi army in Huoqiu and other places, and pursued and obtained great results.
The commander-in-chief was able to lead the Baojing Army Jiedushi and became the second general to lead the three towns after Han Shizhong.
Such an experience could be said to be legendary.
But gradually, everyone could see it.
The Huaixi army was completely controlled by the subordinates, while the commander, Liu Shiguang, only knew how to run.
That was why Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty dismissed Liu Shiguang and handed the Huaixi Army over to Yue Fei.
Inside the tent.
A handsome young general poured out his grievances in front of Yue Fei.
"The Huaixi Army has too many bad habits. How did they fight in the past?
Liu Shiguang only knew how to run away with them!”
The person who spoke was Yue Fei's eldest son, Yue Yun.
He was only 18 years old this year, but he had six years of military experience.
Counting, he had been following his father on the battlefield since he was twelve.
It could be said that there was no dog son in the family, enough to be called a young tiger.
He used a good hammer and was extremely brave. The military called him " Officer Ying," and the Jin people knew his name.
However, many of his contributions had been suppressed. Now, he was only Wu Yilang.
Wu Yilang was only Rank Eight in the military.
There was no way to suppress Yue Yun, because the one who hid the military merits was his father Yue Fei.
Where was he going to find a reason for this?
"Be careful with your words. How can a junior like you criticize Liu Shiguang?”
Yue Fei glanced at his son. He obviously had a different opinion of Liu Shiguang.
"I don't understand how such a person can hold such a high position!”
Yue Yun didn't understand. How could he convince the masses with such a system?
If it were him, he would have long been dissatisfied with such a superior.
However, Yue Fei only sighed and patiently taught his son.
"You can't judge a person from the present. You have to look further ahead.”
Yue Yun was still puzzled. He was still too young.
Even though he was brave in battle, he was not good at other aspects.
"Liu Shiguang is the son of Liu Yanqing, a famous general in the northwest.
Back when he suppressed Fang La's uprising, he could be considered to be extremely brave.
He had repeatedly led the charge on the battlefield and made many contributions.”
Yue Fei continued. He had a deep understanding of his colleagues.
"Brave beyond ordinary?"
Yue Yun found it hard to believe. If it was anyone else, he would think that the other party was lying to him.
Which of these four words had anything to do with Liu Shiguang?
Clearly, it didn't matter if it was a stroke or a stroke!
"After that, Bianjing was captured and Liu Shiguang rushed over as the loyal army.
However, his father and brother had all died in Bianjing.
Before he arrived, Bianjing had fallen. At that time, it could be said to be hell on earth.”
When Yue Fei said this, his voice became low.
Back then, he was not famous yet and was just a small general under Zong Ze.
He only had a few hundred subordinates.
The entire south bank of the Yellow River was filled with refugees.
The tragic scene of the golden men wreaking havoc was everywhere. It could be said to be hell on earth.
Every time he thought of it, Yue Fei could not help but clench his fists.
He hated the cruelty of the golden man!
Many generals were suffering from a phobia of the golden man.
The generals were like this, and the civil officials were no exception.
One of them was Qin Hui.
Once upon a time, Scholar Qin was also a hard-line warmonger.
However, as time passed, everything changed.
After a long time, Yue Yun also fell silent.
He had also experienced that period of history, but he was still too young to remember it.
After Yue Fei's advice, he roughly understood the deep reason why Liu Shiguang kept running away.
This was because this was a general from the Northern Song Dynasty, someone from the Song Huizong period.
The current official was only temporarily supported.
Liu Shiguang, who did not have much loyalty, naturally would not risk his life.
Moreover, most of his troops were raiders and rebels who had surrendered.
Liu Shiguang had never fought a battle without preparation, nor did he fight a battle that he was not 100% sure of.
Therefore, even after fleeing many times, the Huaixi Army under his command still maintained their organizational structure and remained loyal to him.
To put it bluntly, in a chaotic world, which soldier wouldn't want to have such a commander?
They did not treat the middle and lower level soldiers as cannon fodder.
They all wanted to survive, to be able to eat their fill, and to have food.
Liu Shiguang's prestige became more and more resounding.
From the south bank of the Yellow River to the north of the Yangtze River.
To put it bluntly among the people.
This person's reputation might even be higher than Yue Fei's.
There were so many corrupt officials in the local area who bullied the villagers. Where would there be so many loyal citizens?
It was just that the Jin people were too cruel and even more so than corrupt officials.
"Can the Huaixi Army really be reorganized?”
Yue Yun was initially disdainful, but now he was hesitant.
Could such a team really fight side by side?
"I can only try my best."
Yue Fei didn't have 99% confidence either, so he could only try his best.
Liu Chan, who was far away in Jiankang, would tell him that the Huaixi Army could be used.
