Introduction: Yue Fei (1103-1142), courtesy name Pengju, was born in Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, Song Dynasty (now Tangyin County, Anyang, Henan Province). He was a famous military strategist, strategist and national hero in Chinese history[1 -2], ranking first among the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty. He surrendered to the army at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the more than ten years from 1128 to 1141 when he met Zongze, he led the Yue family army to fight hundreds of battles with the Jin army. He was invincible and "reached the position of general". In 1140, Wanyan Wushu destroyed the alliance and attacked the Song Dynasty. Yue Fei sent his troops to the Northern Expedition and recovered Zhengzhou, Luoyang and other places. He also defeated the Jin army in Yancheng and Yingchang and marched to Zhuxian Town. Song Gaozong and Qin Hui, however, insisted on peace and ordered their troops to retreat with twelve gold medals. Yue Fei was forced to retreat in isolation and without support. During the peace negotiations between the Song and Jin Dynasties, Yue Fei was framed by Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others and was arrested and imprisoned. In January 1142, Yue Fei was killed along with his eldest son Yue Yun and his general Zhang Xian on the "unfounded" charge of "treason". During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei was imprisoned and reburied in Qixialing by the West Lake. He was given the posthumous title of Wu Mu, and later Zhongwu, and was granted the title of King of E.

On the banks of the beautiful West Lake in Hangzhou and at the foot of the lush Qixialing Mountains, a majestic temple stands. In this ancient temple, there is the Jingzhong Garden, which is where Yue Fei, the famous anti-gold general of the Southern Song Dynasty, is buried. Yuan Mei, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, sang this: "Thanks to Yue Yue and Shuang Shaobao, the world has begun to realize that the West Lake is important."

The famous name is remembered in history, and the Liyuan has performed faithfully for generations. Yue Fei's generous and tragic heroic story has been passed down orally among the people through dramas and novels for thousands of years. Therefore, when the name of Yue Fei, the famous anti-gold general, is mentioned, it can be said to be a household name in our country, and everyone knows it. Although it is different from the records in dramas and novels, Yue Fei's life is indeed full of legends and heroic ambitions.

Due to his poor family, Yue Fei began to participate in production labor since his childhood. After working, he often danced with sticks, guns, bows and arrows. In addition to practicing martial arts, he also loves reading, especially military books such as "Sun Tzu" and "Wu Qi's Art of War". He usually lit dry wood for lighting at night and read tirelessly late into the night.

Times make heroes. The invasion of the Central Plains by the Jin soldiers not only changed history, but also changed the fate of rural youth Yue Fei. In 1125, the Jin Dynasty, established by the Jurchen tribe in the north, after destroying the Liao Dynasty, took advantage of the victory and moved south, aiming directly at the Song Dynasty. From then on, the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties began that lasted for decades. In 1127, the Jin soldiers captured Tokyo (Kaifeng), the capital of the Song Dynasty, plundered the capital, and then forced Song Huizong, Song Qinzong, his father and son, and more than 3,000 royal family members and officials to go north. The decadent Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, and Kang Wang Zhao Gou, who had a chance to escape, followed him. The Southern Song Dynasty was established.

The Jin soldiers who invaded the Central Plains burned, killed and looted everywhere. Yue Fei, who witnessed the barbaric and brutal acts of the Jin army with his own eyes, decided to devote himself to the country and angrily joined the army when the country was in crisis. From the age of 20, Yue Fei fought hard on the battlefield against the invasion of the Jin soldiers. He conquered the east and west, went through life and death, experienced hundreds of battles, and repeatedly made extraordinary achievements. In the flames of war, Yue Fei gradually grew from an ordinary soldier to a general who commanded 100,000 troops and was responsible for his duties. He made outstanding contributions to the stability of the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, once gave him a military flag with the four characters "Jing Zhong Yue Fei" embroidered on it to commend his loyalty to the court and bravery against the Jin soldiers.

Yue Fei was brave and resourceful, and left many famous sayings to future generations. When Yue Fei defected to Zhangsuo in Hebei Province to participate in the anti-golden struggle in his early years, Zhangsuo heard that he was "the most brave among the three armies" and asked: "How many people can you defeat?" Yue Fei replied: "Courage is not enough. You must make a plan before using troops." "Yue Fei believes: "The first thing to do when using troops is to make a plan, so the way to be a general is not to suffer from lack of courage, but to suffer from lack of strategy." His biggest characteristic in combat command is the reason. Use troops based on emotion, win by improvisation, be flexible and not stick to routine. Zongze, a famous official who fought against the Jin Dynasty, believed that although Yue Fei was wise and brave, he was "good at field battles and not in ancient ways." He could serve as a partial general, but it was not a sure thing to serve as a general. Therefore, he gave Yue Fei a formation map and advised him to march according to the ancient formation map. Combat.

In this regard, Yue Fei once had a very insightful answer: The formation map is a foregone conclusion, "the ancient and modern times are different, the terrain is dangerous and the place is different" and cannot be copied; "The key to a military strategist is to be surprising and unpredictable, so that victory can be won. If the plain wilderness When you are suddenly confronted with the enemy, why bother to organize your formation? If you form a formation and then fight, your troops will always be able to change your tactics, and the best way to use them lies in your single mind." This famous saying of his was widely praised by later generations. *** Fully affirmed this and believed that it was "the product of a smart commander."

The key to Yue Fei's repeated victories lies in his strict military management, strict training and strict management of the troops, with clear military orders and clear rewards and punishments. "Don't tear down the house if you freeze to death, don't plunder if you starve to death" is the slogan and code of conduct of the Yuejia Army. Strict military discipline became an important guarantee for the Yue family's army to maintain strong combat effectiveness. Yue Fei thus became a shining example of military management in ancient times and had a great influence on later generations. For example, Qi Jiguang, the anti-Japanese national hero of the Ming Dynasty, took his example and formed the Qi Family Army, which became invincible and invincible in the war against Japanese invasion.
