"What! Yue Fei has sent troops!" Li Gang was taken aback and said solemnly, "Who gave him the power?"

Li Gang, the Deputy Privy Envoy, is naturally of a higher rank than Yue Fei.

From the perspective of conventional military power settings, the military and political envoys have military and political power, but this military and political power is limited to the management of military and political affairs.

For example, local military training, mobilization of military supplies, military discipline, organizational structure adjustment, and economic and strategic envoys all have the authority to manage.

Even during combat, the formulation of strategic plans, strategic resource allocation, troop deployment, tactical allocation, and management can all directly intervene.

In the history of the Song Dynasty, both Fan Zhongyan and Zhang Kai served as military envoys.

Its authority is extremely heavy and is usually held by civilian officials.

However, Jingluo did not have the power to send troops.

For example, if the enemy is attacking now, you can mobilize large armies to fight the enemy, but under normal circumstances, you cannot mobilize large armies to fight the enemy at will.

This set of power configuration is very reasonable. It can prevent military personnel from causing chaos and control the power of border commanders.

But the disadvantage is that if there is chaos in the enemy country, the military commander cannot send troops at will and must report it to the capital.

This is naturally reasonable. After all, if there is a war, not only the border towns will have to contribute, but the logistics may need to be dispatched from other places, and a higher-level yamen must be promoted to do overall coordination.

Everything has its pros and cons.

Li Gang is a stubborn person. How stubborn is he?

If anyone misses the process of going through the process, it will be absolutely impossible for him to pass it, even if the emperor puts a knife between his neck!

Zhang Suo said: "Xiangong Li, the Military and Political Council has declared that Hebei has entered a wartime state. According to the new military administration, Yue Fei has the right to send troops."

Li Gang suddenly realized this problem, but he still muttered: "There is a problem with this military policy. This will cause various managers to advance rashly during the battle and not listen to the unified dispatch."

Zhang Suo did not continue to have an in-depth discussion with Li Gang on this issue. Li Gang had always been opposed to some things in the new military policy, and he continued to report to Zhao Guan's family.

But it seems that Zhao Guan's family has never paid much attention to him.

"Xianggong Li, according to news from the front line, Zhang Xian's troops have penetrated deep into the river and achieved remarkable results!"

"The results were great?" Li Gang obviously didn't believe this information. "Did they conquer a few cities in the river? Or did they defeat the main force of the Jin Army?"

"This..." Zhang Suo paused and said, "It seems there is none."

"Since there are none, how can we talk about great results?" Li Gang frowned, "Can we defeat the Jin army with the cavalry rushing quickly across the river? Is this Zhang Xian's idea or Yue Fei's idea?"

Zhang Suo said: "Yue Fei's trip to the north seems to be Yue Fei's idea."

"Isn't Yue Fei proficient in the art of war?" Li Gang was puzzled. This decision was obviously unwise. Going north by multiple routes and dividing his troops to expand the front would not weaken his own attack power.

"Maybe Yue Pengju has his own arrangements, Mr. Li, now that the matter has come to this, we should do something," Zhang Suo said.

"I gave Han Shizhong 20,000 imperial troops, how can I still have so many soldiers here!" Li Gang spat out these words through his teeth, seeming to be still angry about Yue Fei's decision, "The situation of the Goryeo war is not yet clear, and Yue Fei rashly affects the Hebei battlefield. If he wins,

It doesn’t matter if we fail, if we can’t win quickly, as time goes by, someone in the court will definitely want to impeach Yue Fei!”

Zhang Suo smiled bitterly and said: "Li Xianggong, don't worry about Yue Pengju. Everyone has to bear the consequences of their own decisions. Since the court believes in him and gives him authority, he must respect the court's decision."

"I'm just worried that Yue Pengju will lose his official position like this. After all, this young man is still very talented." Li Gang said.

Zhang Suo said: "Are we going to send troops?"

"What are we going to do with our troops?" Li Gang asked, "Zhang Xian's troops are mainly cavalry, and they come and go like the wind. How can our army cooperate with him? These specific matters must be sat down together to discuss in advance. Only when both parties reach an agreement can we reluctantly have something.

Cooperate, otherwise rashly sending troops there will only increase the consumption. The country's campaign against Goryeo will consume a lot of money. Han Shizhong was framed by a villain. The storm is over. In this troubled year, it is better to wait and see."

Li Gang has always had his own opinions. He is a defensive talent and is strict in everything he does.

In the first battle to defend Tokyo City, it was he who organized the entire city's army and civilians to defend it.

The reason why Zhao Ning placed him in Cangzhou was for this reason.

However, the situation has changed. Zhao Ning needs talents who are determined to make progress and cannot be defensive all the time.

So there was Yue Fei and Wu Jie.

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "Report! There is a secret message from the Fucheng Economic and Strategy Department!"

"It's a letter from Yue Fei!" Zhang Suo said in surprise.

"Come in!"

The orderly soldier presented Yue Fei's letter. Zhang Suo immediately used a dagger to remove the wax on the box, then opened the seal and took out the letter.

"Xiangong Li, Yue Pengju still hopes that you can send troops north."

After Li Gang took the letter and read it, he became thoughtful.

After a moment, he said: "Yue Pengju hopes that we will enter Hejian Mansion with infantry and escort the war-torn people south. He seems to be very confident in his battle with the Jin people."

"He doesn't want our support, he just wants us to appease the people of Hejian Prefecture." Zhang Suo said, "Peng Ju benevolence and righteousness."

"Zhang Suo, quickly lead 10,000 troops across the Yellow River and go north to appease the people." Li Gang no longer thought about it, "Do everything possible to stabilize the people's hearts!"

"The last general takes command!"

It must be said that Yue Fei's consideration of the battle situation was indeed very comprehensive.

He considers issues from the highest level of the entire battle situation.

From the development of armed rebels in enemy-occupied areas, to how to deploy troops, how to fight, and how the people will be resettled once a war breaks out, he has considered everything.

In fact, the resettlement of the common people also had a great impact on the war situation.

The people have some food in their hands.

Once a full-scale war breaks out, the Jin people will not care about the life and death of the people, and will requisition all the food, and will even carry out barbaric measures to clear the country, creating a resource vacuum for the Shenwu Army and leaving it isolated and helpless.

This is an extreme situation, but when the situation reaches that point, the Jin people will definitely do that.

Moreover, such scenes may occur in dozens of prefectures and counties such as Zhending Prefecture, Zhongshan Prefecture, and Hejian Prefecture, involving the lives of millions of people.

On the evening of May 30th, Cangzhou began to gather 10,000 elite troops to prepare to cross the river overnight.

The setting sun gradually sank into the horizon, and the western half of the sky was dyed blood red.

In Hejian City.

Jin Jiang Wan Yan Po Lu Huo is reading the letter from Zong Wang.

He said to his lieutenant A Lan: "The second prince said in the letter that Sa Lihe went south to attack Taiyuan."

A Lan said: "Didn't the war cease? Why did it start fighting again?"

Wanyanpo Lu Huo said: "The second prince didn't say the specific reason. He asked us to pay attention to our defense to prevent the Song Dynasty from using this as an excuse to march northward!"

"For so many years, the Song Army has only dared to defend and never dared to take the initiative to attack. Hejian Mansion is opposite them, how could they ever dare to send troops to take it back?" A Lan laughed, "The Second Prince is worrying too much!"

Wanyanpo Lu Huo said: "There is a saying in the Song Dynasty, which is to be careful in sailing the ship of ten thousand years!"

"If the Song army comes, they will never come back!"
