Bianliang, which had just been liberated, was immersed in a festive atmosphere, with lights and colors everywhere.
Celebration banquets are going on in various military camps, and there are sounds of orders and drinks.
In the southeast corner of the Forbidden City of the Former Song Dynasty in Bianliang, there is a former Song Dynasty royal garden called Genyue.
Zhao Huanhuan was leading Yue Fei through the ruins of the garden.
The group of people made twists and turns in the maze-like stone forest, and finally came to a rockery.
There is a pool at the foot of the rockery.
Zhao Huanhuan pointed to the pool and said, "The water in this pool needs to be drained first.
If you carefully rummage through the rocks at the bottom of the pool, you can find the jade seal passed down from the country."
After more than three hours of busy work, a soldier shouted: "Found it.
There is something carved in jade here."
Yue Fei took the jade seal in his hand and looked at it carefully and compared it repeatedly.
Said: "Yes, this is the imperial seal."
Zhao Huanhuan showed a puzzled expression on her face and said: "I didn't expect that your majesty also knows how to identify antiques.
How did your majesty conclude that this must be the authentic jade seal passed down from the country?"
Yue Fei smiled strangely and said, "Because I saw him many, many years ago."
Naturally, Zhao Huanhuan didn't understand what he meant.
At this time, a chamberlain accompanying the army came forward and said: "Your Majesty, according to your Majesty's instructions, all the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the officials in Bianliang City who have surrendered have gathered in the Chui Gong Hall.
They are all waiting for your Majesty."
After a while, Yue Fei entered the Chui Gong Hall filled with generals.
After the ceremony was over and the people shouted long live the mountain, the topic of discussion could be entered.
Today, there is no main force of the Jin army south of the Yellow River and west of Tongguan, but most of the prefectures, counties and cities were not actually occupied by the Han army in the Northern Expedition.
If the Han army in the Northern Expedition wanted to continue the Northern Expedition, it would have to stabilize the control of these states and counties.
In addition, it would also have to capture the Shandong region in the east to eliminate the hidden dangers on the right wing.
In response, Yue Fei issued three measures to his ministers.
The first is to draw elites from the existing National Defense Forces in the Northern Expedition, and divide the troops to conquer the very few cities where Jurchen soldiers are still stubbornly resisting, and to accept those prefectures and counties that have expressed their surrender.
The second is to mobilize the Internal Affairs Army and officials from Huainan to go north to replace the National Defense Forces who temporarily took over the prefectures and counties.
The third is to speed up the reorganization of troops and prisoners from various states and counties, and train them into the local internal affairs army as soon as possible.
The details of consolidating the Han Empire's rule in Henan were quite complicated, and the court proceedings lasted until dark.
Yue Fei said to the generals and ministers: "It's already this hour and you haven't eaten yet.
I have already prepared a celebration banquet for you."
Yue Fei drank several glasses of wine and was already tipsy.
A chamberlain cautiously approached Yue Fei and whispered: "Your Majesty, there are more than a dozen men from the north and Shandong outside the palace gate, claiming to be the Red Scarf Army of the Zhongyi Society.
They keep saying that they are your Majesty's subordinates.
Asking to see His Majesty.
The guards guarding the palace gate have detained them because they are afraid that they are spies."
Yue Fei was stunned and asked: "Did they give their names?"
"The leader is Liang Xing, and there are also Li Jin, Zhao Yun, Zhang Heng, Dong Rong, Wu Qi, Li Bao, etc."
Memories of his past life suddenly welled up in Yue Fei's mind.
These people were the generals of the anti-Jin rebels who he had contacted or sent behind enemy lines of the Jin army during his fourth Northern Expedition.
Some of them are in Taihang, Hebei, some in Laizhou, Shandong, and some in Shaanxi.
I don’t know when they got together.
"Invite them in quickly," Yue Fei said quickly.
After a while, a dozen plainclothes Chinese characters entered the Wende Hall under the guidance of the chamberlain.
Many of these people were born and raised peasants.
They had never entered a real palace in their lives, and they were tied up for a while.

When Yue Fei entered the palace, Li Jin first excitedly shouted: "Yue Da".
Before he finished speaking, he was lightly stepped on by Liang Xing.
Only then did Li Jin come to his senses, and he knelt down with the others and shouted, "Long live the mountain."
Embarrassed, Yue Feilian asked them to sit flat and let them stand up to talk.
It turned out that after these people heard that Yue Fei was revolting in Zhejiang and Zhejiang and launched a mutiny to seize the Zhao family, they began to connect with each other.
After preparing to meet up, they sneaked into Huainan to meet Yue Fei.
As soon as they met in Bianliang, they heard that Yue Fei had personally marched on the Northern Expedition and defeated three Jin soldiers.
So they simply sat in Bianliang waiting for the arrival of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and at the same time looked for opportunities to open the gate of Bianliang for the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the Han army broke through Bianliang and recovered the former Song capital that had fallen for fifteen years.
Yue Fei discussed with them for a long time and treated them to supper before leaving.
At this time, these people were no longer civilians.
They were all appointed as generals and knights by Yue Fei.
They returned to their respective camps and raised troops to respond to the Han army's Northern Expedition.
Among them, Zhang Bao should be the first to act, because Zhang Xian is about to lead a troop of troops to march towards Shandong.
It was late at night when Yue Fei returned to the palace, but Zhao Huanhuan was still waiting for him in the flickering candlelight.
Without Wanyan Zongxian as its backbone, the whole government and the public of the Jin Kingdom were trembling.
People in Shangjing and Huining Prefecture, thousands of miles away from Bianliang, were panicked, not to mention the prefectures and counties between Huanghuai and Huanghuai, which were close at hand.
The Han army was centered on the three cities of Xinyang, Bianliang and Pizhou.
Dozens of troops, ranging from hundreds to thousands of people, were sent to collect surrendered cities or attack cities where the Jurchen army continued to occupy.
After Wanyan Wushu was defeated and died, Yue Fei regained Bianliang, and the news that the 300,000 Jin soldiers were wiped out spread to all states and counties, many states and counties had incidents of Han officers and soldiers revolting and surrendering to the Han Kingdom anyway.
Even if some states and counties did not respond temporarily, when the Han army came to the city, these states and counties would open their doors and offer the city without any resistance.
Of course, there were still a handful of cities garrisoned by relatively strong Jurchen troops who refused to surrender.
All of them were defeated one by one by the Han army using earthworks, blasting and demolition methods.
On the official roads, Jurchen landowners, slave owners and defeated Jurchen troops fleeing north can be seen everywhere.
There were dozens of them in one group, hundreds or thousands of them in one group, and they desperately fled northward.
In addition to being intercepted by the Han army along the way, they are also more likely to be intercepted and killed by bandits under the banner of the Han Rebel Army.
On this day, a group of people came from Pingyin County, Dongping Prefecture.
The county magistrate of the Kingdom of Jin, who was looking southeast from the top of the city, frowned.
To his surprise, the soldiers and horses were not flying the banner of the Han army, but the banner of their own Jin army.
At this time, the Pingyin County Magistrate was still hesitant about whether to surrender to the Han.
Like other local officials, he had no doubts about the strength of the Han military and Yue Fei's popularity.
But the geographical location of Pingyin County is too embarrassing.
It is right on the edge of the Yellow River.
On the north bank is the Hebei area where the Jin Kingdom has been operating for decades.
More than a hundred miles to the east is the Shandong area that the Han army has not yet touched.
It took him a matter of minutes to surrender the Han army, and it took a matter of minutes for the Jin soldiers to fight back.
Although the Han army was strong, it had only a small number of troops, so it was impossible to protect everything.
Seeing the troops outside the city approaching, the county magistrate took a deep breath and said: "Open the door":
