Kaifeng Prefecture.
The battle cries that lasted for three days gradually calmed down.
Or rather, Bianjing.
The capital of the Song Dynasty was once again in their hands.
The people in the city cheered.
Eat and drink to meet the king's army!
This city that had been silent for more than ten years was once again bustling with activity.
"Marshal Yue! Marshal Yue!"
Countless commoners surrounded the army that entered the city, wanting to see the world-famous Marshal Yue.
In just three months, Yue Fei had achieved ten times the results of his previous battle!
According to his previous speed, it would take him thirty years to reach Bianjing.
But with Liu Chan's full support, he only spent three months.
In just three months, they had recovered the capital of the Song Dynasty!
"Marshal Yue!"
Many of the older citizens stood by the roadside with tears streaming down their faces.
He was extremely excited and touched.
Finally, in his lifetime, he saw the king's teacher!
"Yue Clan Army!"
"Yue Clan Army!"
Almost every soldier who entered the city was warmly welcomed by the people.
They took out everything they had, whether it was eggs or fruits.
Or the hot rice that had just been cooked, he hurriedly stuffed it into the hands of the soldiers.
The chicken, duck, fish, and meat that they were usually reluctant to eat were all taken out to reward the army today!
Bianjing, this city and its people had been ruined by the Jin people for too long!
The representatives formed by the common people and some of the local gentry spontaneously organized themselves.
For the next three days, the Yue Family Army did not even turn on the stove.
Just the food sent by the commoners was enough to fill every soldier.
In Bianjing City, children in their teens were even more eager to join the army.
He wanted to join the Yue Family Army and become a member!
After Yue Fei heard this news, he only smiled.
Then, he drove all these children home.
He promised to give them a chance to join the army in a few years.
During this period, there were many widows and unmarried women who were staring at the Yue Family Army in the city.
In their eyes, this was what a man should be like.
Yue Fei turned a blind eye to this.
It solved the problem of having too many bachelors in the army.
The soldiers and civilians cheered, and their relationship became more and more harmonious.
At the Grand Marshal's Manor.
The original building was ruined by the golden men. Yue Fei sent people to spend several days.
Only then did he sort out the various government offices.
Almost at the same time, Yue Fei sent people to repair the city walls and fortifications outside the city.
To be honest, this time he conquered Bianjing.
It was a very risky move.
Because the Jin army was stationed on the other side of the Yellow River.
They could reach Bianjing in ten days.
At that time, it would definitely be a bitter battle. Bianjing might not be able to defend.
In the overall defense line, Bianjing was a prominent part.
It was difficult to get cover from the left and right reinforcements.
"Marshal Yue!"
Zhang Xian, Yue Fei's deputy, walked in from outside.
"What about the Jin army?"
"Good news, they didn't move.
It seemed that the previous peace negotiations were true.”
Zhang Xian obviously knew about the internal strife of the Jin Kingdom and knew that the peace faction had the upper hand.
"We can't let our guard down. Send people to guard the bridge by the Yellow River.”
Yue Fei thought for a moment and instructed.
"Understood!"
After giving instructions, he sat on the desk and began to write a letter to the Emperor.
The fourth northern expedition.
The general idea was that the Northern Expedition was a success, but that was under the premise that the Golden Men did not launch a large-scale counterattack.
What to do next, whether to fight or to stop, he still hoped that the officials would decide.
Soon, the letter was sent to Health.
It was rare that Liu Chan happened to be dealing with government affairs.
He found the ministers to discuss the next step.
Qin Hui shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Your Majesty, we must not continue the northern expedition.
The golden man's patience had reached its limit.
If they took another step forward, the Jin people would definitely use the entire country's strength to go south again.
How could Grand Commandant Yue's hundred thousand men fight against two to three hundred thousand Jin soldiers?”
Although he was a capitulator, his analysis was not wrong.
Yue Fei was too fast this time.
Not only did the golden men not react, but the Song Dynasty's own people also did not react.
The defensive line was changing almost every day.
In these three months, the Bureau of Military Affairs had been operating at full capacity 24/7.
The two prime ministers, Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding, looked much thinner.
On the other hand, Liu Chan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked much wealthier.
It was obvious that he had gained weight from eating too much. His originally thin figure was starting to match up to his Shu Han self.
"Official, the northern expedition this time has reaped a huge harvest. Indeed, we cannot continue fighting.”
Zhao Ding immediately stood up and said.
He was under the greatest pressure right now.
It was a good thing to have more fallen territories, but it was difficult to govern them.
There was wasteland everywhere, and the people were fleeing everywhere.
Farming was not an easy task. It required intensive cultivation.
A large number of farm tools and ironware, as well as rivers and canals that had been in disrepair for a long time.
Each of them was a huge problem that made Zhao Ding's hair fall out.
Even Zhang Jun, who was a pro-war faction, echoed at this moment.
"Your Majesty, we really can't fight anymore.”
Seeing this, Liu Chan looked at the map on the dragon table and suddenly said.
"Why don't we temporarily negotiate peace with the Jin people?”
As soon as he said this, the ministers fell into deep thought.
It seemed that it was not impossible?
Previously, they did not agree to the peace negotiations because the Song army had the strength to fight.
A large area of the country had fallen.
Three months later, it was the complete opposite.
Yue Fei's northern expedition was a great success, and he had almost recovered half of the area of the puppet Qi.
Now, it was his side that needed to rest and recuperate.
They needed time to govern the fallen areas so that they could support the logistics of the army.
"Official, I think it's feasible."
"I agree."
"We can temporarily make peace with the Golden Men."
The ministers all agreed to temporarily negotiate peace with the Jin people, and then everyone looked at Qin Hui.
"Official, I suggest that Minister Qin go to the Jin Kingdom.
To discuss the matter of peace."
"I also think that Mr. Qin is suitable. Wasn't he in charge of this matter before?”
Qin Hui immediately panicked. He didn't want this kind of thing!
The golden men might be preparing for war right now. Wouldn't he be courting death if he went over?
"Official, subject."
Qin Hui cupped his hands and wanted to decline.
He didn't expect Liu Chan to be so good at accepting advice, so he nodded in satisfaction.
"I'll leave this peace negotiation to you. Do you have any difficulties?”
Hearing this, Qin Hui paused, unable to say the words in his mouth.
He couldn't possibly let Yue Fei retreat a few hundred miles and spit out the meat that he had eaten before negotiating.
Regardless of whether Yue Fei and the generals agreed, the civil officials would not agree either.
In order to supply the army with logistics, it was not easy for everyone!
If it wasn't for the sake of leaving a name in history, who would go through so much effort!
"I, I will set off tomorrow."
Qin Hui only felt tired. He didn't even know that he was going to the Jin Kingdom.
What kind of treatment would he receive?
He didn't dare to imagine it, afraid that the Golden Men would think that he was provoking them and kill him.
"Alright, that's it."
After that, Liu Chan chatted with the officials for a while before dismissing the court.
It could be said that everyone was satisfied with this court session.
Liu Chan was very satisfied. The line of defense had advanced a thousand miles, and Jiankang had become a safe rear area.
He no longer had to worry about the enemy suddenly attacking him, and he could be more relaxed.
The ministers were very satisfied. They had recovered a large area of land and were quite rejuvenated.
According to this progress, there was a high chance that everyone present would be recorded in history books and left behind a legacy.
Was there anything better than standing shoulder to shoulder with Wang Anshi and other senior civil officials?
Qin Hui was the only one who was injured.
