After listening to the three chapters of the covenant, Du Jia only thought for a moment and then nodded: "Okay, these three are very reasonable, I promise you that it is, so let's do it, I will still let you go back this time, and let you bring a thousand soldiers under your original command, and give you another thousand good horses, and then we will fight again in the original place?" Don't worry, I only use a thousand soldiers, and only one general. ”

Yue Fei took a deep breath and resolutely stood up and said, "Okay, this is very fair, if you can still win, I will definitely keep my promise, if you break it, heaven and man will abandon it." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left directly, Le He shook his head and could only do according to Du Jia's orders, let Yue Fei select a thousand elite soldiers from the army, and then left with a thousand horses, he really couldn't figure out why Du Jia paid so much attention to this Yue Fei, and he actually captured two and two verticals, and also consumed an unknown amount of manpower, material, financial and energy, is it all worth it?

He really didn't know, and he expressed deep concern.

But Du Jia didn't care, and asked Hu Yanzhuo to come over, and after the two discussed it carefully, Hu Yanzhuo left with a smile on his face.

Three days later, when Yue Fei sent an invitation to make an appointment after he was ready, he was surprised to find that it was not Du Jia who was facing Hu Yanzhuo, but he didn't mind, although he couldn't defeat Du Jia with his own hands, although he also had a small regret, but victory was more important than anything else.

It's just that after the two sides entered the battle, Yue Fei was shocked to see that the other party was actually a row of strange cavalry with men and horses, fully armed and chained - you can't blame Yue Fei for being lonely and unheard, after all, this chain of horses is the mystery of Hu Yanzhuo's family, and the world knows very little, although Yue Fei has a bad feeling, but now that the two sides have started a war, he has to lead his subordinates to rush forward.

Prior to this, Yue Fei had divided his thousand cavalry into ten hundred-man teams, but no matter how he separated and closed, cut and surrounded, raided and attacked, and brought all kinds of tactics to the extreme, but he was helpless against these chain horses that did not eat oil and salt, just like the infantry of later generations encountered tanks, this chain of horses on the flat ground was completely the natural enemy of cavalry and infantry, rampage without taboos, no matter how you are in a variety of positions, As long as he makes a rough and simple move, the Chinese army will go deep and then repeatedly hit deeply, and you will immediately break all your defenses, climax to the sky, and finally you can only be at the mercy of others.

And Yue Fei couldn't even implement the tactic of forming a strong pillar with his own strong force, as soon as this chain of horses was attacked together, Yue Fei couldn't stop it even if he had three heads and six arms; Second, the Hu Yanzhuo he faced was not a fuel-efficient lamp at all, and he might not be able to win one-on-one, let alone be distracted.

Therefore, this battle ended quickly, Yue Fei and Hu Yanzhuo had not fought for fifty rounds, and his soldiers were torn apart after an unreasonable impact by the chain horses, and then they collapsed after the chain horses finished charging and turned around in a circle, their morale was not high, and their tactics were not exquisite, but there was no way to face the chain horses that were not reasonable at all and would only 'suddenly'.

Yue Fei could only admit defeat after a long sigh, he thought that his command was extremely strong, and the on-the-spot command was unmatched, but today he also understood the truth that there is a heaven outside the sky, after all, he is still young, and limited to age, identity, qualifications, etc., there is still too little knowledge, there are too many things in this world that he has not seen and cannot understand.

Take this chain of horses, for example.

Another example is the car and boat I saw on Dongting Lake before.

and Du Jia, who can fight with himself in marksmanship, is even more frustrating that this guy is not older than himself, but he has already broken through such a world.

And he has some ambitions, but he is only a small six-rank cavalry captain, and he has lost three times in a row under him, if it weren't for Du Jia, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago, and he is not afraid of death, but isn't his ambition also gone? There are so many heroes in Chinese history, and who cares about and records the life and death of a small cavalry captain?

Maybe the historian in the court will simply make a note, Huizong Chongning 2 years before the deputy commander of the palace Zhang Peng led the troops to exterminate the Dongting Lake Yang Qi bandits, unfortunately died in the ambush battle, his soldiers fought bravely, but the thieves were strong, more than half of the casualties, less than three percent of the survivors.

And he, Yue Fei, was in that "more than half of the casualties", and turned into dust like those ordinary soldiers who died in battle, is this his destination? Isn't it in vain that he has been studying hard for more than ten years in such a difficult and difficult environment, cultivating both civil and military, and even sleeping only two or three hours a day? How could he be willing?

No, he still has to live, he has to live with all his strength, and he is generous to repay the country when he dies when he encounters setbacks, but in fact it is just a coward's act, and only by living can he continue to work hard for his ideals.

Thinking of this, Yue Fei was finally relieved, and calmly followed Hu Yanzhuo to see Du Jia, and then became Du Jia's personal deputy according to the previous agreement to protect his safety, if it was not for fighting with officers and soldiers, he would also be willing to lead troops to fight.

Du Jia is also satisfied with this result, he believes that one day in the future he will be able to completely convince this 'little stubbornness' and save himself three times before leaving? Hehe, go dream, he will never have this opportunity.

And after collecting Yue Fei, Du Jia did not hide it, he told him about his plan and the current situation and plate, and asked him if he had any suggestions, when Yue Fei heard that Du Jia now has eight prefectures and nearly seventy townships and counties, and it is also all over the three prefectures of Qing, Xu, and Henan, he was stunned, although he had a high estimate of the strength of Du Jia and Liangshan, but found that it was still too conservative.

This is not counting the 800 miles of Dongting Lake, although it is not a formal city, but spanning more than 10 cities in three states, the impact on the surrounding places is difficult to estimate, with Dongting Lake, between these state capitals can have an additional road for water transportation, and on the contrary, it can only rely on land transportation, waste time and manpower and material resources, not to mention, but also be careful of being attacked from the lake at any time, a mile away is a world of difference.

Although Yue Fei has an unchangeable belief and confidence in the imperial court, he can't help but be a little shaken at this moment, Liangshan's current power has been formed, and the imperial court doesn't know how much effort it will take to deal with them, not to mention that they are still in the dark now, is it really difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to escape this catastrophe?

Du Jia did not shy away from Yue Fei, and slowly drew a circle on the map - including all the spheres of influence that now belong to him, and then pointed at the last sealed place and said: "Next, as long as I take one or two more prefectures in Yanzhou, my first step plan will be completed, Pengju, where do you think we should choose as the goal?" ”

How, Yue Fei finally accepted it, and it was in the way that Guan Erye descended to Cao back then, did you think of it, haha.
