The surrounding soldiers rushed to drag him away, but Yang Yao was not afraid at all. He just stretched his neck and shouted at Zhang Jun: "Yue! Even if my grandfather dies, he will only die for the people of Dongting Lake. There are people in Dongting Lake who remember me. In the future, I can become a god in Dongting Lake! But you bastards who are officials and military ruffians who only know how to suck the blood of the people and drink the fat of the people, who will remember you in the future? Who will remember you?!"

A moment later, without any disturbance, Yang Yao was beheaded amid shouts and curses.

So far, one of the two bandit leaders surrendered and the other died, and nearly half of the so-called forty rebel camps have been eliminated. The rest can only be dealt with by issuing an order or destroying a city or a stronghold, but they will not cause any trouble in the overall situation.

But after this incident, Zhang Jun no longer had the heart to pretend to be a Confucian general. He simply handed the matter over to Wang Gui and asked him to take the surrendered people to deal with it quickly, while he himself sat there without moving.

Yue Fei originally wanted to supervise the establishment of the military camp, but was stopped by Zhang Jun. Everyone knew that these two men, one civil and one military, wanted to speak, so they tactfully withdrew. Even a close teacher like Bi Jin understood and strolled down the slope.

But what's interesting is that while the others avoided the call, Zhang Jun was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know how to start talking when facing Yue Fei, who was obviously affected by Yang Yao's previous scolding and was a little depressed.

Furthermore, Yue Fei suddenly stopped in Hubei for a long time, which caused unanimous attacks from the court and the public, and finally triggered a political trend, and even attracted the prime minister to go south to supervise the war... But if you think about it carefully, these two things seem to be a whole from the outside, but in fact they are two completely different things.

The first one refers to Yue Fei's early delaying behavior, that is, he suddenly changed from suppression to appeasement last winter, and then made all kinds of strange moves, and did not take action until this spring.

This was a purely military incident, and Yue Fei's strange behavior was essentially based on the principle of military confidentiality and was a move made for the purpose of combat effectiveness. People who understand military affairs probably understand that officers and soldiers cannot defeat the pirates, but it is not easy to say it in public, for fear of leaking military secrets and also because it would really affect morale.

Therefore, he had to paralyze his teammates first in order to paralyze the enemy, and changed his military strategy under considerable pressure and accusations. Now, with a sudden thunderbolt, the Zhong Xiang Rebellion was quelled. Afterwards, although some people still think that Yue Fei was making excuses, more people will believe in Yue Fei's judgment and plan.

Among them, not to mention that Yue Fei, as the highest-ranking general, had no reason not to inform Emperor Zhao through the secret memorial system and leave a way out for himself and the front army of the imperial camp.

In other words, the former thing was not risky because it was a reasonable military decision made from a military perspective by a general with special authority based on objective military conditions. There was no problem either in terms of procedure or core thinking.

However, there is another thing, that is, after the beginning of spring, Yue Fei's delay in the spring plowing season in his later years seemed very subtle.

Because this is not a military issue, it is a serious political issue involving political ethics, moral evaluation, and various interests and losses... No matter whether it is before or after the incident, as long as it is spoken out, it will not be easily resolved.

What else?

The emperor and the ministers might be able to recognize Yue Fei's judgment from an overall and utilitarian perspective, and recognize that he preserved more and better spring farming activities from an overall perspective. But the problem is, would the people of Hubei, the three groups of officials, and the Confucianists, Buddhists, and Taoists who escaped from the previous rebellion areas also agree with it?

If they knew the truth, they would only hate Yue Fei to the core... Because what does the overall situation have to do with them? What does Hunan have to do with Hubei? !

Didn't Yang Yao just curse from the bottom of his heart? What does Hebei have to do with Jingxiang?!

Of course, the incredible thing here is that Yang Yao, who had always been resentful of the increase in taxes in Jingxiang due to overall needs, would never know that Yue Fei, whom he scolded, had maintained the greatest goodwill and tolerance towards the people of Dongting Lake from the most overall perspective, especially the people in the west of Hunan, whom Yang Yao cared about the most, who benefited the most.

In fact, Yue Fei was not a fool. Judging from his actions, he obviously wanted to withstand the pressure at the beginning. Anyway, he would say that he was not sure he could convince Huang Zuo, the most important figure, and that he had to delay it until after the spring plowing due to military considerations.

Rationally speaking, this is the most appropriate and correct way to deal with it - we have only waited until now because of military needs, and have not waited another month for anyone else's sake, so anyone would have made the right choice.

But, isn't this just making me feel depressed and unbearable?

Isn’t this a desire to understand?

Therefore, Yue Pengju could not help but explain everything to Prime Minister Zhang Deyuan, which was equivalent to explaining the whole story to Emperor Zhao who was far away in Tokyo... At this point, how could Zhang Jun and Yue Fei not know that Emperor Zhao, who knew Yue Fei's military plan, took the initiative to send people to supervise the battle. One reason was naturally out of respect for the political rules of the court, and the other was that Emperor Zhao was obviously suspicious of Yue Fei's inaction for a long time.

However, this guess can only be said to be an accomplice. Emperor Zhao was indeed suspicious, but it was not out of some kind of suspicion that the ministers were embarrassed to express. Instead, he firmly did not believe that Yue Fei could not handle this matter after a winter and a summer, and he thought that Yue Fei had encountered some trouble other than military troubles.

That's why Zhang Jun was released.

"Pengju, don't take to heart those incomprehensible words of these villains." After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Jun finally spoke to persuade him.

Yue Fei heard this and sighed for a long time: "How could I not know that Yang Yao is just short-sighted? But the road to annihilate the Jin people is long and arduous. If everyone in the world is short-sighted, it is inevitable that one will sigh a little."
