Bad things always seem to happen together. In just a few days, Yue Fei experienced a series of events in which friendly forces were defeated, colleagues betrayed, his jurisdiction was destroyed, and his benefactor died for his country. He finally suppressed all the anger in his heart and just stabilized his defense line at the edge of his jurisdiction.
Before reinforcements and instructions arrived, a serious incident that could definitely be called internal strife broke out within the Yue Family Army!
It was definitely internal strife, because the conflict occurred between his uncle Yao Wang and his closest brother, Zhang Xian, the deputy commander of the Chinese army and the actual leader of the White Army.
As mentioned before, Yue Fei's father died early, and his younger brother Yue Fan is not very old, but looks like a teenager, not many years older than Yue Yun. In this case, the uncle Yao Wang who fled from Hebei with his mother is actually him.
The only blood relative... or not, the natal family, let alone the current situation?
In fact, in accordance with the tradition of achieving prosperity and prosperity these days, Yue Fei also gave his uncle the status of a commander early on, but asked him to lead a reserve army to manage the daily management of Jeju's internal grain and cargo transportation. It was only this time that the military situation was serious, so he would
The people he transferred to the front line were still people who were close to the front line and not in command of the troops.
As for Zhang Xian, there is no need to say more. Wang Gui, Tang Huai, and Yue Fei himself, although the four brothers are young, they have advanced and retreated together, through life and death, for many years. They are basically real brothers.
Under this situation, Yue Pengju was furious, so of course he had to ask clearly in person... However, if you don't ask, you won't know. After asking, Yue Fei became even more furious!
It turned out that it was Yue Zhenfu's uncle who had a gangster habit and allowed his subordinates to plunder the belongings of the gentry who fled Shanzhou and Yingtian Mansion. He was then caught by Zhang Xian in public and had to be dealt with. However, Yao Wang believed that he was Yue Fei's uncle.
After receiving tribute from those sergeants, how could a junior from the other side be bullied like this?
In the end, the two sides openly started fighting outside the camp, but they remembered that there was another person above them, so they stopped immediately after others came forward to persuade them to make peace. There were not many casualties, and the matter was immediately handed over to Yue Fei to handle personally.
.
By the way, who is Yue Pengju?
This person is a rare person with strong military discipline in the world. After the First World War in Liangshanbo, combined with his simple mentality of saving his hometown in Hebei, he firmly believed from the bottom of his heart that the army must have the heart to protect the country and save the people.
It can achieve great things! If you plunder without restraint, how will you be different from the Jin people?
Otherwise, how could Zhang Xian have the guts to go against an elder like Yao Wang? It’s not Yue Fei who has been giving instructions all day long.
Therefore, the result was not unexpected by Zhang Xian and other close generals, but it was beyond the expectations of Yao Wang and all the new generals... The looted property was forced to be returned, and Yao Wang was publicly scolded and given fifteen punishments.
Zhang Xian was deprived of his rank of commander and demoted to the rank of general in charge of the tent, while Zhang Xian was credited with one rank of military merit.
This incident also greatly shocked the newly arrived generals Li Kui, Xu Qing and others. Afterwards, under the leadership of the two, the new generals with messy commander titles jointly requested orders and took the initiative to lower their titles to commanders... This
It's just off topic, no need to say more, and the matter seems to have been left here.
In this way, for the next few days, Yue Feiku sat in an isolated place and watched Kong Yanzhou lead 10,000 people to bypass Jezhou, follow the Jin army's march route from Jinan to Shunji River, and settle in the big city of Nanjing, and cooperate with the main force of the Jin to control Nanjing.
At the critical point, Yue Pengju, who was completely confused about the situation in the west, was anxious, but he did not dare to act rashly. He did not even dare to touch Yanzhou, which was inevitably empty at this time. He just asked people to retrieve Xu Qing and other Hebei refugees. There were not many in Yanzhou.
Just family members.
Time passed until September was approaching, when Yue Fei got some good news - before the messenger returned, a group of nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses went upstream along the He River from the southeast.
Come here.
Regarding this, Yue Zhenfu naturally asked people to inquire in advance, but the information obtained from the inquiry made people unable to relax.
Because although the general claimed to be a reinforcement sent by Zhang Jun's department, he was not a named officer in the imperial camp's right army, or simply put it bluntly. This person was the military thief who had previously separatized Yizhou, one of the local tyrants, and had just surrendered.
Zhang Taiwei was only a month old and became a local tycoon in Yizhou.
Kong Yanzhou was the one who broke things first. Hu Cheng’s hometown, Yizhou, was also on the edge of the Song Dynasty. If this person caused chaos, it would be unreasonable... I don’t know why Zhang Taiwei sent this person to help?
But after all, it is a serious reinforcement and cannot be ignored.
So, when he heard that Hu Cheng was about to lead his troops, for the sake of safety, Yue Pengju personally led his own army, Tabai army, and Wang Gui and Fu Xuan, who had just organized their family resources to come to the rescue because Yanzhou was empty behind him.
Five thousand soldiers and horses entered Shanzhou and waited at the junction of Heshui and Henggou.
On the last day of August, the two armies finally met across the river.
By the way, by this time, Yue Fei's messenger had returned and brought the news that Hu Cheng was indeed sent by Zhang Jun. At this time, Yue Fei had already given up his mind. When the opponent's army arrived, Yue Fei took a moment to observe and saw
After the opponent had no intention of fighting, he gave up his mind again... So Yue Fei didn't wear armor, weapons, or horses at all. He only led Zhang Xian with a sword and took the initiative to climb onto the pontoon bridge he had built on the Henggou.
, make an appointment with Hu Cheng to meet.
And Hu Cheng did not disappoint Yue Fei. This man also acted the same way. He was only dressed in casual clothes and took only a trusted general with a sword to protect him. He went to the pontoon bridge for the meeting.
At this point, the hostility between the two parties has basically been eliminated. After meeting each other, they exchanged a few greetings, then put down their barriers, shook hands and had a good time. It was as if the misunderstanding was gone and there was no need to be defensive.
At this time, Yue Fei just learned why the other party was here.
"The governor of Yue Town doesn't know anything." Although Hu Cheng, who is about forty years old, is a military thief in the separatist area, he seems to have read a book. Although he has a wry smile on his face, he speaks in a refined manner, which makes him somewhat similar to Yue Fei. "
My Lieutenant Zhang was originally stationed in Xiapi of the Huaiyang Army. When Nanjing fell, Xiapi was naturally shaken. And my Lieutenant Zhang was greatly favored by the government. How could he dare to neglect him? He immediately sent Liu Bao and Lieutenant General Tian Shi to recruit 20,000 main troops.
Towards Suzhou and Bozhou, they tried to move closer to Han Taiwei to the west in order to support the official flank from the south. However, Nanjing fell and there was no news about Zhang Zizheng. Zhang Taiwei knew that he was the two closest people in the surrounding area.
One of them, I can't ignore it, but I have to let the people who were originally in Yizhou come down here to deal with it..."
Yue Fei knew it well. This was obviously because Zhang Jun had guessed that ten of Zhang Suo's brothers would end well and that Nanjing could not be saved. He also had no hope for himself, Kong Yanzhou, and Zhang Rong, so he sent a new officer as soon as he heard the news.
The miscellaneous rule that came down came to serve as a false reference to the story.
However, after thinking for a moment, Yue Pengju nodded seriously: "Lieutenant Zhang actually did a good job."
"Who can say it's wrong?" Hu Cheng smiled more and more bitterly. "What about Yue Zhenfu and Xiaguan? Xiaguan is a newly minted person, and he was trapped in a desperate situation surrounded on three sides, but Yue Zhenfu doesn't want to go anymore.
I want to have reinforcements from Lieutenant Zhang... Just now Yue Zhenfu said that Zhang Zhenfu was defeated and could only protect Liangshanbo. Obviously, he could hold Jinan for us at most. Then Nanjing has more than 10,000 Jin cavalry and 10,000 Kong Yanzhou infantry.
I’m afraid we’ll just have to work together to deal with it.”
"If you can't deal with it, you don't have to deal with it." Seeing that although the other party was a bit soft-spoken, he was also sincere. In addition, the military situation was urgent, so Yue Fei simply held one of the other party's hands and confessed frankly. "I think the Jin man's attitude is to defend Nanjing to the death.
To support the flanks and rear for the war in the west, we have no intention of wasting the war... There are more than 10,000 Jurchen cavalry, 10,000 Kong Yanzhou soldiers, and a fortified city. Let's add 20,000 people, and the combat strength is uneven.
It can’t be beaten at all.”
"In this case, wouldn't it be a good time to sit down?" Hu Cheng was moved after hearing this.
"What I mean is to ask the commander to sit down for me." Yue Fei said bluntly. "And I myself have received great favors from Zhang Zizheng, Zong Liushou, and the official family, but I can never sit here and wait...
…”
Hu Cheng's heart moved, and he instantly understood what the other party meant, and then he was slightly moved: "Does Yue Zhenfu want to entrust Jeju to his subordinates and lead the troops to the west? Zhenfu is admired for his loyalty, but when the brothers met for the first time, it was really...
I can’t afford to be so trusting.”
Yue Fei sighed slightly: "The situation is like this, but it's me who has caused chaos for the generals... Let me tell you frankly today, I have been sitting in a desperate situation for the past few days, and I have already thought about it. I originally had 13,000 people, and recently Li Kui
Invite five thousand people, Xu Qing led three thousand people to join together, the total is about 21,000 people. Since Hu Tongzhi is here, I will ask my subordinate Wang Gui to lead six or seven thousand people to stay, and then weed out the old and weak.
Gather together seven or eight thousand to assist the generals in guarding the city, so that you will have 12,300 soldiers and horses, and I will lead the remaining 12,300 elite soldiers and horses through Puzhou to the west in the direction of Tokyo to find Zong to stay behind.
……what do you think?"
Hu Cheng thought for a moment, and it was clear that he still felt a little unbearable, so he had to refuse again.
When Yue Fei saw this, he quickly said: "If the military situation changes and Jeju cannot be defended, the commander-in-chief does not have to worry about it. I just want to try my best to save the families of my soldiers and their families and evacuate to Xuzhou and Yizhou. I will be grateful."
Hu Cheng had been shocked when he heard that the other party was actively seeking a fight. Now he saw that the other party was so sincere and willing to give everything as soon as they met, which made him even more loyal. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Hu Cheng simply gritted his teeth and agreed.
But he held the other person's hand with one hand, turned around and pointed at the person following him with the other hand, and said:
"The governor is so unwilling to avoid danger, how can Xiaguan refuse? This is Xiaguan's brother Li Zhang, nicknamed Putiandiao. Xiaguan is a scholar and does not understand military affairs. He was only selected because his family is quite famous in his hometown.
I have been promoted to be the leader, and the matters of marching and fighting and rushing into battle are all dependent on this brother... Let him lead the only two hundred cavalry in the lower official department and go with the town."
Yue Fei had long seen the majestic general behind him, and how could he not be happy when he heard such words? He immediately gave up Hu Cheng's hand and stepped forward to hold the hand of the flying eagle.
However, as soon as the two sides shook hands, the expression of the Flying Eagle changed, and he directly exerted force on his hand, trying to pull Yue Fei down! However, Yue Pengju's innate supernatural power, and his basic skills in lowering the hand were even more impressive, and in a hurry, he had already
He had already stabilized his body and actually didn't move at all. Instead, the flying eagle almost fell over.
But at this moment, hearing an unfamiliar sound coming from behind his ears, Yue Fei suddenly woke up, but it was too late.
In an instant, the sound of an arrow piercing flesh could be heard clearly. Yue Fei turned around and saw that his brother Zhang Xian had already been hit by an arrow in the shoulder. Apparently, he had no time to draw his sword, so he could only cover himself with his arms in a hurry.
Yue Fei, who was slightly relieved, looked back, but it was rare that he lost his composure, because he saw Wang Gui and others capturing a man from the shore of Henggou, and then directly peeled off his helmet, revealing his uncle.
He looked very sad.
"Let the commander-in-chief see the joke." Yue Fei looked there for a long time before turning back, revealing his first wry smile since we met on the bridge today. "I'll come back as soon as I go..."
Hu Cheng didn't know Yao Wang's identity, so he had nothing to say.
After a while, Yue Fei and Zhang Xian came back. They first asked the military doctor to catch Zhang Xian, cut open his clothes in public, cut off the arrow shaft, and then sprayed the wound with strong liquor according to the "Military Health Regulations" passed down by Zhao Guan's family, and cut out the arrowhead.
After thinking that there was nothing serious, he turned to look at his uncle Yao Wang, who had already turned pale.
"Wu Lang, uncle was confused for a moment!" After such a long time, Yao Wang had already calmed down. When he saw Yue Fei coming to see him, if Wang Gui and others hadn't held him down, he would have immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy regardless of etiquette. "Let uncle go."
Once, ask your uncle to go back to Jeju City to be a coachman for your mother. If you don’t join the army, you won’t be rich..."
"Uncle is indeed confused." Yue Fei squinted his eyes and looked at his uncle, and slowly said to each other. "If you had said earlier that you wanted to join the army to seek wealth, how could I have made you join the army? But my uncle insisted on saying 'for a while',
But I can't believe it, Wu Lang... Isn't it because of how you behave today because I punished you in public last time and dismissed you from your official position, and then I was so upset about it? Isn't your behavior today inspired by Xu Qing's story?
Are you thinking of killing me and then taking advantage of the chaos to push it onto Hu Cheng, triggering a battle between the armies, and then take advantage of the situation to support Yue Yun or Liulang (Yue Fan) as my uncle, or even take advantage of the situation to separate the country?"
Yao Wang opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know how to refute. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and said: "The stupid thing has been done, what are Wu Lang going to do with me?"
"As a sergeant, your subordinates assassinate the commander today; as an uncle, you want to kill your nephew and steal his nephew's inheritance; as a Song Dynasty person, you ignore the Jin people and pick a
Since the two armies fought, he is a true Song traitor..."
"I just want to be sulky!" Yao Wang heard this seriously and immediately tried to explain again. "There is no such evil intention! Think about it, someone else has become a general, and all the soldiers in the army have their own private property.
You build a house for your family and do business! When you become a town governor or a military governor, you treat the entire military state as private property. Why is it different here, Duduwulang? Gold, silver, money, silk and food pass through your hands like running water, but
They were all thrown into the army, and you don’t even have a few servants to serve you! I..."
"No need to say more." Yue Fei stood there and listened quietly for a few words at first, but later he just felt impatient. "The country is in such a crisis that tens of thousands of people have died in Hebei, and even Zhang Zizheng died in Nanjing.
In the country, even the yamen like Xin Daozong have not lost their dignity. You came from Hebei and saw those tragic things with your own eyes, but you only talk about these here? It is my fault. I should have explained the rules of our army to you from the beginning...
...Wang Gui, Fu Xuan, you two commanders each hold down his two hands!"
Wang Gui originally restrained Yao Wang, but when he heard the words, he instinctively pressed the button. Fu Xuan, who had originally avoided hearing the words, also instinctively stepped forward to replace Tang Huai. However, in the middle of the action, both of them lost their composure and raised their heads.
"I'll take care of it for my brother!" Zhang Xian, who had just finished bandaging next to him, jumped up and held his sword forward. "Brother, there's no need to ruin your reputation in vain!"
Tang Huai didn't say a word, but he looked up in shock.
"Brother." Wang Guiye held Yao Wang down and raised his head with sweating profusely to persuade him. "Yao Wang is definitely punishable by death for today's crime, but there is no need for you to do it yourself and bear this bad reputation!"
"What kind of reputation is there that should not be deserved? If it is not deserved, the officials should not have killed Liu Guangshi personally. But if the officials did not kill Liu Guangshi personally, the Song Dynasty would have died last year!" Yue Fei pushed Zhang Xian away,
At the same time, he pulled out the knife from the opponent's waist that he had not had time to pull out before, then walked around behind his uncle and looked at Fu Xuan and Tang Huai.
Fu Xuan and Tang Huai had no choice but to change positions, and then the former used all his strength to hold down Yao Wang.
"Wu Lang, you dare to kill me?" Until this moment, Yao Wang was still in disbelief. "How can you and your mother..."
Then when he was halfway through speaking, Yue Fei did not hesitate and pierced his uncle's neck with just one knife in front of the two armies.
The two armies were in a commotion across the river, but a moment later, as Yue Fei turned over, picked up his sword and mounted his horse, the Yue family army on the north bank of the Ganggou suddenly became solemn, and thousands of soldiers became silent, which then affected the Hucheng Yizhou soldiers and horses on the other side of the river.
As for Wang Gui, Fu Xuan and others in front of them, they were completely terrified of losing their composure.
"Today's incident is said to be due to my uncle sneaking up on me. In fact, the root cause is his unauthorized robbery that day." Yue Fei looked at the sergeant in front of him, raised his blood-stained knife and raised his voice. "In order to prevent you from letting me go."
If some of you misunderstand and make this old mistake again, I will tell you again in public today... I, Yue Fei, joined the army four times. The first time was to make a living! The second time I joined the army to make a living, I also got promotions and fame.
It means! But starting from the third time, after experiencing the Taiyuan War and witnessing the entire fall of Hebei and Hedong, the Jin people killed and looted without restraint, slaughtering cities and plundering cities wantonly. From then on, they wholeheartedly wanted to drive out the Golden Dogs and revive the two countries.
River! No more thoughts of getting promoted and making a fortune! As for you, as for you, if you want to get promoted and make a fortune, go anywhere else but join my army, Yue Fei!!"
Yue Peng's speech to the end was like thunder echoing the howling autumn wind.
Not only was the whole army horrified when they heard this, even Hu Cheng and Li Zhang, who were looking curiously on the bridge, turned pale when they heard these words. In addition to their previous good feelings, they were filled with awe.
After Yue Fei finished speaking, he looked to his side again, Zhang Xian, but raised his sword and said, "Come here!"
Zhang Xian hurriedly dragged a freshly bandaged arm forward, ready to receive the knife, but Yue Fei was not in a hurry to give it to him. Instead, he immediately confronted him sternly: "There is punishment but no reward... It was you who stopped this person last time."
Plundering soldiers and people, this time you saved my life and avoided a big disaster. I will promote you to be the commander of the front army!"
"Here..." Zhang Xian responded quickly, then took the knife.
"One more thing." Yue Pengju looked at his little brother and continued to speak, but lowered his voice. "I thought you were the youngest and least sensible among our brothers, but recently I see that your behavior is quite successful.
The trend of great things... As a governor, you will naturally be promoted to an official position, but as an elder brother, you have to express your feelings... I will change your name based on this matter! "
"I will do whatever my brother says." Zhang Xian was still a little confused, and of course he had nothing to say.
"Brother Zhang Zizheng, I don't know if his son Zhang Xian has returned to Nanyang, and Zhang Xian's name happens to be similar to yours... Of course I'm not asking you to adopt him, but I'm saying that the word "xian" is better than "xian", because "xian" is a legal code.
I mean, you used to picket Yao Wang because you were enforcing the law very well, so I wanted to change it to Zhang Xian for you." Yue Fei said slowly. "I hope you can remember what happened in the past few days in the future. Everything must be done according to the law.
Become a great weapon!"
Zhang Xian...is also Zhang Xian. This brother has the final say in everything. What's more, he just changed his name with the same pronunciation. Do you hope to encourage yourself? He immediately prostrated himself under the horse to accept it.
Yue Fei also quickly dismounted, helped Zhang Xian up, and asked the medical officer to come forward to bandage him again.
In this way, a few days later, on the third day of September, the governor of Jeju, Yue Fei, who had received a small reinforcement force, left Wang Gui, Hu Cheng and others to guard Jeju.
Xuan, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Li Kui, Li Zhang, Xu Qing and other generals, as well as countless envoys, hurriedly crossed Jishui from the north of Liangshanbo, trying to pass through Puzhou to aid Tokyo.
As soon as the Yue family army arrived in Puzhou, they met Li Bao, a local hero crossing the Yellow River, who led three thousand sailors ashore in an attempt to capture Puzhou occupied by the Jin people. The two sides joined forces and easily captured the empty Puzhou, while Yue Fei
Only then did I know that the other route, Wanhu Lubu, crossed the river from Puyang in the west and passed through here to the south. I also learned from Li Bao that Marshal Wanyan Nianhan of the Jin Dynasty was currently in Daming Mansion behind Puyang.
Yin was in charge, and countless armies were converging there one after another. Li Bao came here precisely because he could not gain a foothold in the upper reaches.
Puyang is a famous city in the world, with a solid city, and due to the special geographical conditions of the Yellow River these days (the lower reaches bifurcates into four or five lanes), it is connected with Daming Mansion. By occupying these two places, the Jin people can firmly control the Yellow River main road.
, and in this case, the gains and losses of Puzhou next to the Yellow River are actually meaningless.
Therefore, Yue Fei strongly invited Li Bao to abandon Puzhou with him, and take advantage of the opportunity to go west to support Huazhou, where the enemy was unknown, and to go to Tokyo. As a local hero in Jingdong who made a living on the Yellow River, Li Bao originally hated the Jin people, but he saw
Yue Fei had an excellent military and horse, so he followed him generously.
Let's say that Yue Fei led his army to the west and didn't know much about the battle situation west of Puyang. He really risked his life to go there. However, the Zhao Guan family in Nanyang, after the initial chaos, finally returned from the war at this time.
From the intelligence collected from various places, we learned a general situation.
"So, the Jin people divided into five groups and crossed the river together to raid?"
In the Yushan camp, Zhao Jiu looked at the rough map for a long time, then tentatively groped around on the map and asked Liu Ziyu.
"On the two east routes, Ali sneaked into Jinan, and Tiao Lu reinforced the crossing to Puzhou. They all succeeded, and attacked Nanjing (Shangqiu) in a surprise attack. Zhang Zizheng died for his country. The two routes from Jingdong to the east, not to mention falling again, were actually cut off by Yingtianfu (Shangqiu).
The two middle routes, Yelu Mawu from Huazhou and Wanyan Balisu from Sishui Pass in the west of Zhengzhou, raided together in an attempt to outflank Tokyo, but were blocked respectively; the westernmost route, Wanyan Saba, tried to raid Li Yanxian, but failed.
They were discovered first by the Hedong Red Scarf Army, but instead joined forces with Xiao Zhai to lure the enemy deep into Jiezhou, successfully set up an ambush, and directly defeated the enemy?"
"That should be it." Liu Ziyu was silent for a moment and told him frankly. "In fact, as the Privy Council expected, the Jingdong Zhang Zizheng Office was the weakest, while the Tokyo Sect Remaining Department was the strongest... Only Zhang Zizheng was attacked and died in a hurry.
It was a big mistake to leave, but it was an unexpected blessing that Li Jinglue was able to force the opponent back. The key now is that Wanyan Nianhan, Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Wushu, and Wanyan Talan are all involved.
Where? Will it be possible to cross the river? And when and where to cross the river? It must be investigated seriously!"
"Yes, this matter is the most important! In addition to this matter, the two prime ministers must quickly discuss Li Yanxian's military exploits with Dazhai and Li Yanxian's three Shao (Shaoyun, Shaoxing, Shaolong) subordinates. At this time
, the reward must be particularly preferential; and then send a note to Xianggong Lu in the city, asking him to discuss Zhang Zizheng's posthumous gifts and other matters, and the family members who stayed in Nanyang should also focus on preferential treatment. In fact..." Zhao Jiu responded seriously, but said
In the end, he couldn't help but get stuck, and then he continued to sigh. "Actually, I should have told Zhang Zizheng not to care about the palace a long time ago. I really forgot about it."
"Here!" Liu Ziyu responded solemnly and faced him sternly again. "Officials, please don't get entangled in the Nanjing matter. Zhang Zizheng is a minister and observes his ministerial duties. This is something he did voluntarily. He should be encouraged, not saddened by it.
"
"I also think so." Lu Yihao took a step forward, rarely the same as Liu Ziyu. "Zhang Zizheng is an example, and his actions are just to tell the world that the Song Dynasty also has envoys who sacrificed their lives for the country! Just like Li Xueshi (Li Ruopu) in Jingkang
) Brother (Li Ruoshui), Liu Canjun’s biological father (Liu Kai), they are all such heroes. But when the war comes, the official attitude is like this, if these people know it, they will feel that it is not worth it!"
Hearing this, Li Ruopu and Liu Ziyu each saluted solemnly again.
"I know." Zhao Jiu looked down at the map, guessing the location of the main force of the Jin people, while waving his hands repeatedly. "I am not so ignorant, and just paused, just because I have never met Zhang Zizheng many times.
, I couldn’t recall his appearance for a moment, and it was inevitable that I felt sad.”
From Lu Yihao down, everyone in the military building almost stopped in unison, just like how Zhao Guan's family behaved just now.
