"Brothers," Yue Fei continued on the stage, "our salaries come from the people's taxes, and our rations come from the people's farmland, so I still have only one request for you, that is, after returning to your respective stations, continue to train your troops, and train all the troops into elites that can be toughened by the golden dogs!" ”

The generals stood quietly on the school ground, the scorching sun shining on their heads, and the ground under their feet was still as motionless as a mountain. Because they are in their respective stations, they also lead the soldiers every day to train in the scorching heat. As Yue Fei said, the Protector Army is all professional soldiers, not the old soldiers of the imperial court. The Protectors have only two jobs, combat and training.

Nowadays, the food rations in the area under the jurisdiction of the Protector Army are extremely tight, and most of the displaced people who have just settled down are given two meals a day, or even one meal a day. But all the Protectors had three meals a day, rice buns, and one or two cured meats for each meal. Eating such a good meal and not training with all your life, I am really sorry for the people's offerings.

Because of this, the front-line troops of the Protector Army all maintain a brutal daily practice. You must know that even the Golden Dog Army has only practiced every three days. As for the imperial army, most of them are drilled every five days and every seven days, and the difference in training intensity cannot be reasoned.

"Brethren, our training intensity is very intense because our physical qualities are not as good as those of the golden dog. Golden dog from the snack beef, drink milk, but we from the snack vegetarian. At the age of seven or eight, the golden dog rode an inferior horse and won a horned bow, and we didn't know what a knife or gun was when we were seven or eight years old. They are professional robbers, we are professional farmers. Compared with the golden dog, which is long and strong, we have a congenital disadvantage. Only harsher training can help us bridge the gap with Golden Dog. The battle for the defense of the Central Plains in the spring proved what I said. ”

Speaking of this, Yue Fei's voice suddenly sank, and he said extremely painfully, "But we are far from doing well enough. We are ashamed of the Protector of the People. Wanyan Zongbi's military horses hit the peach blossom shop, only more than 200 miles away from Yingtianfu, dozens of villages were destroyed, and more than 10,000 people were killed. Wanyan Zonghan attacked Kaide Mansion on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the four brothers of Wang Dazhui died in battle, and tens of thousands of people were killed. Wanyan Lou ran thousands of miles from Shaanxi, pulled out Luoyang, and forced Bianliang. After Yan Sali drank troops into Dengzhou, more than 100,000 people were killed, and millions of villagers became homeless. Yes, we are victorious on the surface, but it is not that our combat power is strong, but that the hot summer has forced the golden dog back. Our sacrifice is far greater than that of the golden dog. ”

When the generals heard this, their faces became stern. Yue Shuai was right, the defense of the Central Plains could only be regarded as a crushing victory. If it weren't for Yue Shuai's Isaac Star Array to defeat Yan Zongbi, perhaps Ying Tianfu would have been in ruins.

The reason why Yue Fei said this demoralization blow was because some of the generals had already become arrogant and began to despise the powerful Jin soldiers. Yue Fei must stop this trend.

"Yue Shuai is right!" Niu Gao, who had just been promoted to the commander of the corps, walked out of the queue, faced the generals, and said sharply, "When Wanyan Zonghan went south, he brought 100,000 golden dogs and 200,000 servant troops, but when he withdrew to Taiyuan, he still had more than 60,000 golden dogs and more than 100,000 servant troops. And we are too good heroes, and there are millions of casualties! Is the golden dog too powerful? Yue Shuai's 2,000 fine horses can break tens of thousands of golden dogs. General Zhang Xian's first division can block tens of thousands of golden dogs. The reason why the heroes of Taihang suffered heavy casualties was not because the golden dog was powerful, but because we were too uncompetitive. If we had 100,000 elite horsemen, we would have killed the golden dog long ago, so why wait for God to help! ”

"Not bad." Yue Fei liked Niu Gao's courage very much, and he was able to fight with the golden dog with more than 10,000 soldiers, and his strength was not reduced, but expanded to 100,000 people, which is rare in the world. "What General Niu Gao said is very true. Our Huaxia is a country built by farming and warfare, not only good at farming, but also good at fighting. The lives of our Central Plains men are more precious than the golden dog. Ten men spelling out a golden dog is not worthy of praise, because it is a shame. Only when a man spells out ten golden dogs is worthy of praise, because this is the glory of the Han people. During the period of the strong Han, one Han can be worth five Hu. We should inherit the glory created by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty! Brothers, only by training, training with life, can we achieve one Han and five Hu. ”

The generals listened silently and said nothing. The glory of the strong man is too far away from the Song people. Since the founding of Taizu of the Song Dynasty, the Song people have been bullied by Zhuhu, and they have been defeated in successive battles against Liao and Xia, and they can only spend money to buy peace, and the so-called New Year's coin came from this. During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, one Han could reach five Hu. In the Song Dynasty, it was worth five Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, there were the great general Wei Qing, the flying general Li Guang, the invincible champion Hou Huo Quai, the Ban Chao who threw his pen from Rong, Chen Tang who committed a strong man who was far away, and Fu Jiezi who killed Loulan with a sword. The Emperor and Song Dynasty only had generals who were experts in the civil war, and once they faced the Hu people, they basically couldn't gain the upper hand. Di Qing and Di Wuxiang, the only ones who had hope of pacifying the Western Xia, also died of fear in the suspicion of the imperial court. The elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty were all good families. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were mostly prisoners and exiles.

Only the Protector Army changed the bad habit of the Emperor and Song Dynasty to emphasize literature and ignore military force. Nowadays, in the jurisdiction of the Protector Army, everyone is proud to participate in the Protector Army. Even those high-ranking scholars in the past, those good families who would rather starve to death than become soldiers, are now vying to join the Protector Army. As Yue Shuai said, the People's Protector Army is the elite of the world, and it should have the pride of the world.

"The Jin people rose according to the tiger water, destroyed the Bohai Sea, swallowed the Great Liao, pulled out the Bianliang, and captured the two emperors. This is the shame that the Jin people inflicted on my Central Plains boy. Zhao Gou's child was as timid as a tiger and lived in the south of the Yangtze River. Then let me take on this responsibility for the Protector Army, and we will not only save the Second Emperor, but also the people who were taken captive by the Jin. Not only do we want to take back all the territory occupied by the Jinren, but we also want to leap the Great Wall and go straight to the Huanglong Mansion! On that day, I will drink with you again! At the end, Yue Fei said that his tone was generous and fierce.

"The Great Wall of the Prancing Horse, go straight to the Huanglong Mansion!" The generals were so excited that their blood was boiling, and they were angry and wanted to rush to the crown. More than a dozen Khitan generals shouted even more vigorously.

Brother Yelu Mu shouted loudly, "Yue Shuai, if that day comes, the last general must grab a pioneer official." I'm going to be the first to step into the Huanglong Mansion! ”

Li Heng, Jiao Wentong, and several fierce generals were suddenly unwilling. "How can the glory of stepping through the Yellow Dragon Mansion give you this big drunkard! On that day, I'll get you drunk first and see if you can rob the vanguard! ”

Xiao Shan walked out of the queue and asked Yue Fei, "Yue Shuai, Xiao believes that the Protector Army will be able to attack the Huanglong Mansion within ten years." But Xiao wants to ask here, in front of all the brothers, how will the Protector Army treat my Khitan people after they recover Yanyun? ”

Yue Fei pondered for a moment before he said, "Xiao Shan, in the past few months, have the hard labor soldiers been discriminated against?" ”

Xiao Shan shook his head, "No." ”

Yue Fei laughed and said, "In that case, what are you worried about!" Yue is here to tell you in front of all your brothers, whether you are a Khitan or a Bohai Han, whether you are a party member or a Xi person, as long as you are willing to coexist peacefully with our Han people, we are brothers of equal status. But if someone wants to ride on the head of the Han people, I'm sorry, no matter what race you are, you will definitely be defeated! ”

Brother Yelu Mu asked, "Yue Shuai, after destroying the golden dog, can I live in Yingtianfu?" ”

Yue Fei smiled, "Yes, yes." But I'll tell you Brother Yelu Mu first, it's not every day that you have free wine! ”

Brother Yelu Mu was told by Yue Fei thoroughly, and he couldn't help but reach out and scratch his head.

At noon, the meeting ended, and the generals left the school and rushed to the Bafang Building. Only seven people remained in the barracks: Yue Fei, Master Zhihun , Xue Bi, Niu Gao, Zhang Xian, Zhang Heng, and Xu Jinshi.

Master Zhihun looked at the empty school yard and jokingly said, "A real military meeting is often only a few people. ”

Seven people left the school grounds and walked into the empty Chinese army tent. There is a huge sand table in the big tent of the Chinese army, which is the map of the area from the north bank of the Yellow River to Yanyun. It took the people of the Secret Intelligence Division several months to figure out the terrain of Yanyun.

When Niu Gao saw this sand table, his spirits immediately perked up. Knowing that the military center of gravity of the Protector Army will be greatly tilted towards Hebei West Road.

Sure enough, Yue Fei pointed to the area around Zhending Mansion and said to Niu Gao, "Captain of the Niu Legion, the highlight of this winter needs the lead singer of the Hebei Legion." How's that, can you sing well? ”

Niu Gao laughed and said, "Yue Shuai, rest assured, my old cow was born with a good voice, and I am sure to sing it all over the world!" ”

Yue Fei focused on the position of the calf village with his hand, and said very approvingly, "The position of the calf village is extremely important. Occupy this position, and we can go north to Yanyun at any time. Today, Bi Jin has more than 20,000 independent divisions, but I don't think it's enough. We want to put 50,000 elites on Baoqi Zhaitun and directly threaten the Jin army in Zhuozhou. Niu Gao, you can let Xiaoshan's hard labor army and Wang Gui's infantry division go north, once you fight the Khitan army that surrendered to the golden dog, the hard labor army will play a great role. ”

Niu Gao thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Yue Shuai, is Xiaoshan reliable?" ”

Yue Fei said with great certainty, "Absolutely reliable." The Secret Intelligence Division had been watching him for a long time. Taking a step back, even if he really has a different heart, Luo Yanqing is enough to control it. Whether it is the commander of the army or his personal martial arts, Xiao Shan is not Luo Yanqing's opponent. The hard labor army now has 8,000 horsemen, only more than 2,000 Khitan hard laborers, and the rest are all my Central Plains men. Xiaoshan can't turn the sky. ”

Niu Gao looked at the sand table with his eyes, and suddenly pointed his finger at Taiyuan and Datong. "Yue Shuai, Zong Han will definitely go east this winter. Hedong is dangerous, and I can cut off Hebei West Road at any time. Now the golden dog still occupies Junzhou. I don't think we've reached the time to attack Yanyun yet. ”

Xue Bi smiled and said, "Yue Shuai is right. Although the captain of the Ox Legion fought bravely, he was not a reckless person. To tell you the truth, Captain Niu Legion, the reason why Master Yue Shuai Zhihun and I want to send 50,000 elites to the north is not ready to attack Yanyun in a big way, we just want to contact Yanyun's anti-Jin rebels and infiltrate the forces of our people's protector army. This winter's war is in the east of the river! ”

Yue Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said hatefully, "The army under the command of Zong Han accounts for one-third of the Jurchen elite. As long as he left his middle route army, the golden dog would be crippled. You can first send Mr. Chuang's infantry division to occupy Jingcheng and Flying Fox, and first choke the road of Zonghan's eastward advance. Anyway, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the golden dog would never dare to go out. Now the golden dog still occupies Junzhou and Qizhou, which are the two basis points of Zonghan's march into the Central Plains. Niu Gao, after going north, give me Erzhou first. ”

Niu Gao nodded, "Yue Shuai rest assured." I've wanted to fight Junzhou Qizhou for a long time. Those were the two nails that the golden dog drove into my Hebei West Road. Although they have accumulated enough armor, grain and grass in these two states, there are more than 40,000 mature women. But I'm confident that I can take them before the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

Yue Fei's finger moved to the direction of Cizhou. That was the territory of Wang Yan's army. Xu Jinshi immediately said, "Yue Shuai, Wang Yan's army does not dare to leave Cizhou without permission, because Liang Xing has deployed more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the north of Cizhou. ”

Yue Fei hesitated for a moment, but still said to Niu Gao, "If Wang Yan wants to be unfavorable to my people's protectors, then beat him up to Taihang Mountain again." ”
