Yue Fei was born in Tangyin, Xiangzhou (now Tangyin, Henan). When he was born, the Yellow River burst and there was a flood in his hometown. His family is very poor. Yue Fei studied hard since childhood, especially the art of war. He is so strong that he can pull a big bow of 300 Jin in his teens. Later, he heard that Zhou Tong, an old fellow villager, was skilled in martial arts, so Yue Fei took Zhou Tong as his teacher, learned a good arrow, and was able to draw a bow from left to right.
Later, Yue Fei joined the army. Nomads from the south, he was a small official in Tokyo. On one occasion, he trained on the Yellow River with 100 riders. Suddenly, a large group of golden soldiers passed by, and the soldiers were shocked. Yue Fei said unhurriedly, "Although there are many enemies, they don't know how many troops we have. We can beat them when they are not ready. " Say that finish, he took the lead in rushing to the enemy lines and beheaded an 8 jin j general. With Yue Fei's encouragement, the soldiers also rushed up and killed 8 jin j to pieces.
Gal, yue fei's bravery is famous. A few years later, he became a general under Zong Ze. Zong Ze thought highly of him and said to him, "You are smart and brave. You are a famous soldier in ancient times. However, relying on charge is not a way to win. " He handed Yue Fei an ancient battle map and said, "Take this and study it well."
Yue Fei took the array, thanked Zong Ze, and then said, "Fighting according to the array is the routine of Sun Tzu's art of war. As for flexible use and improvisation, it depends on whether it is a kind general. "
Hearing this, Zong Ze nodded repeatedly and expressed his appreciation for the young general's views.
Yue Fei, like Zong Ze, took resisting gold as his own duty. Immediately after Song Gaozong acceded to the throne, he wrote a letter, hoping that the emperor could personally lead Song Jun's Northern Expedition to boost morale and restore the Central Plains. He also criticized Huang Qian Shan, Wang Boyan and a group of capitulationists.
When the letter came up, Song Gaozong not only refused to listen, but also thought that Yue Fei was a small general, meddling in his own affairs, and removed his military post.
After Zong Ze's death, Yue Fei returned to Tokyo and stayed in Du Chong to direct operations. Nomads from massive attack, Du Chong fled to health; Gold attack attack health, Du Chong humiliation to 8 jin j surrender .. Du Chong soldiers are scattered, only yue fei's team still insist on fighting near health. This time, Wu Shu cooperated with Han Shizhong in the Northern Expedition and defeated Wu Shu.
Nomads from the north, Song Gaozong returned to Lin 'an from Wenzhou. The Jin Dynasty established a puppet emperor Liu Yu in the Central Plains, with the title of Daqi, as an accomplice of the Jin Dynasty, harassing the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty. Yue Fei led his troops to beat back the Jin-Qi allied forces many times and made meritorious military service. By the time he was thirty-two, he had risen from an ordinary general to the position of our time, keeping pace with the famous soldiers Han Shizhong, Guang Liu and Zhang Jun at that time.
During this period, he wrote a poem "Man Jiang Hong", which was passed down through the ages, expressing his lofty aspirations for gold. The first half of the word is:
Angry, leaning on the railing, resting in the rain.
Looking up, screaming in the sky, strong and fierce.
Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and the moon.
Don't wait to see young people's heads turn white, empty and sad.
Yue Fei is bent on restoring the Central Plains and is very strict with himself. Song Gaozong once built a house for him, but Yue Fei refused. He said, "Where can we care about our home before the enemy is destroyed?" Someone asked him when the world would be peaceful. Yue Fei replied: "Civil servants are not greedy for money, and military commanders are not afraid of death, so there is hope for peace in the world."
Yue Fei usually pays great attention to training. When the troops were resting, he also took the soldiers to the hillside armed to the teeth and jumped into the trench, demanding as a war. Once, when his son Yue Yun rode up the mountain, his horse slipped and fell to the ground. Yue Fei found out and gave Yue Yun a good beating. When other soldiers saw that God was so strict with his son, they practiced very hard.
In Yue Jiajun, military discipline is particularly strict. On one occasion, a soldier used a bunch of hemp to bundle firewood without authorization. After Yue Fei discovered it, he immediately dealt with it strictly according to military law. Yue Jiajun marched through the village and slept by the roadside at night. People invited them into the house, but no one wanted to go in. There is a slogan in Yue Jiajun, which says, "Don't tear down the house if you freeze to death, and don't plunder if you starve to death."
Yue Fei is strict with soldiers and loves them very much. When soldiers are sick, he often gives them medicines himself; When his people were going out, he asked his wife, Mrs. Yue, to visit their families. Soldiers were killed in the war, and they raised their children; All the property given to him by his superiors was distributed to the soldiers, and there was nothing left at home.
After such training and care, Yue Jiajun's soldiers have strong morale and are brave in fighting. Before the war, Yue Fei always called the generals together to discuss the battle plan before the war. Therefore, we fight, win every battle, and never lose. When Jin saw Yue Jiajun, there was no one who was not afraid. There is a saying: "It is easy to shake the mountain, but difficult to shake the Yue family army."
In the Southern Song Dynasty, a number of famous soldiers, such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, with the cooperation of insurgents organized by local people, were able to beat back the nomads from the army. However, despite the opposition of Yue Fei and others, Song Gaozong made peace with the humiliation of the rulers blindly. In A.D. 1 139, he actually surrendered to the ruler and paid 252,000 silver and 250,000 silks every year. The Jin Dynasty "repaid" the land in Shaanxi and Henan to the Southern Song Dynasty.
1 140 10, the rulers tore up the peace treaty again, launched the national elite troops, and launched a four-way attack with Wu Shu as the commander in chief. In less than a month, all the land returned to the Southern Song Dynasty according to the peace talks was taken away by the Jin Army. The Southern Song Dynasty was in danger of collapse. Song Gaozong this just had to reply, expressed resistance to Song Jun.
After receiving this order, Yue Fei immediately sent troops to Wang Gui, Niu Hao and Yang Zaixing, and sent people to Hebei to contact Liang Xing, the leader of the rebel army, and asked him to lead the rebel army to outflank the enemy in Hedong and Hebei. Yue Fei is in command in Yancheng.
A few days later, several regiments succeeded in succession and successively recovered Yingchang (now Xu Changdong, Henan Province), Chen Zhou (now Huaiyang, Henan Province) and Zhengzhou. Wu Shu, commander-in-chief of the 8 Jin Army, was greatly alarmed when he heard that Yue Fei had invaded Tokyo, and hurriedly called the generals to discuss the correct strategy. Everyone said that other generals in the Song Dynasty were easy to deal with, but Yue Jiajun's offensive was difficult. But now that I'm here, I just need to concentrate on fighting Yue Jiajun. So Wu Shu, Dragon Tiger King and Gai Tianwang led an army to attack Yancheng.
Wu Shu's army came to Yancheng, and the Song and Jin sides launched a battlefield. Yue Fei first sent his son Yue Yun to lead an elite cavalry as a striker. He said to Yue Yun: "This time, you can only win the battle; If you can't win, cut your head first when you come back! "
Yue Yun agreed and took the lead in fighting bravely against Song Jun. With Yue Yun, nomads from the army were killed, and bodies were everywhere.
Wu Shu was defeated for some time, so he called his "iron floating map" attack. "Tiefutu" is a specially trained cavalry in Wu Shu. This cavalry is covered with thick armor, and three cavalry form a team and charge in the middle; Using two cavalry units to flank the left and right wings is called "Kidnapper Horse".
Seeing the weakness of the kidnapper's horse, Yue Fei ordered the soldiers to bring knives and axes when they went into battle. The enemy is coming, bend down and cut off the clues. The horse was cut down, and the gold and horses fell off. Yue Fei ordered the soldiers to attack and beat Tiefutu and the kidnapper's horse out of the water. Wu Shu was very sad when he heard the news. He said: "Since we started fighting, we have won the battle by kidnapping horses. It's all over. " But he refused to give up. A few days later, he personally led120,000 troops to attack Song Jun, and Yue Fei led Yang Zaixing to patrol the outpost with 300 cavalry. When they saw the nomads from the army, they immediately went into battle and killed more than two thousand people. Yang Zaixing was also killed by an arrow. Song will catch up from behind, killing nomads from scattered, had to escape.
Wu Shu failed in Yancheng and attacked Yingchang again. Yue Fei had expected this, so he sent Yue Yun to save Yingchang. Yue Yun led eight hundred cavalry to kill each other, but no one could resist the nomads from the army. Later, Song Jun's infantry and insurgents were surrounded by the left and right wings, and the nomads from the army suffered another crushing defeat.
At that time, the Taihang Mountain Rebels led by Liang Xing and the insurgents on both sides of the Yellow River also responded. Holding the banner of Yue Jiajun, they attacked Jin Jun everywhere and cut off the grain transportation route of Jin Jun. Nomads from watching the tremble with fear.
Yue Jiajun won until he reached Zhuxian Town, which is only forty-five miles from Tokyo.
When Hebei rebels heard that Yue Jiajun had hit Zhuxian Town, they all rejoiced and crossed the Yellow River to meet Yue Jiajun. The common people used ox carts to pull food to comfort Yue Jiajun, and some even greeted them with incense pots. All of them were so excited that tears filled their eyes.
Yue Fei can't stop being excited about the victory. He encouraged his men to say, "Let's try to kill the enemy. When we go straight to Huanglong House, let's have a drink with the brothers and celebrate the victory! "
