On April 20, the third year of Xuanhe, Fang La led an army of 180,000 to Dantu City, the forefront of his own army, and then learned that his most optimistic nephew, Fang Jie, the best and most capable clansman in the family, had died.

Fang Jie died in the battle with the Song army, three days ago, Fang Jie led 30,000 soldiers and horses to faithfully carry out Fang La's order - to test the combat effectiveness of the main force of the Song army, fight a beautiful outpost battle, kill the spirit of the Song army, and lay the foundation for the army to completely annihilate the main force of the Song army, so Fang Jie died.

According to the intelligence, Fang Jie died at the hands of a young Song general named Yue Fei, Fang La had never heard of this Yue Fei's reputation, which can prove one thing, even Fang La, who carefully collected information about the brave people in the Song army, did not know the name of this Yue Fei, and could only say that this Yue Fei was not a big man in the Song army, at least not before the war.

Then, according to the latest information, Fang La learned that this Yue Fei is only eighteen years old this year, but he is extremely brave, and he has achieved the status of a commanding officer in the Song army, it is said that this Yue Fei has been on the battlefield at the age of fifteen, and has exterminated many bandits, this time it was valued by Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty, and he was specially recruited into the army, so he joined the war, and the result of the war, everyone has seen it.

Fang La was heartbroken, the excellent clansman Fang Jie, who faithfully fulfilled his orders, did not even come back to the corpse capital, it is said that his head was cut off and sent to Kaifeng Mansion, the capital of the Song Kingdom, to ask for a reward, and the corpse was chopped into meat sauce and fed to the dog by Tan Zhi, the supervisor of the Song Army's counter-insurgency corps, and Yue Fei, who killed Fang Jie, was immediately praised as the great hero and hero of the Song army, it is said that after killing the real big man in Fang La's army this time, the deputy commander of the Song army and the three of the supervising army asked for credit for Yue Fei together, Everyone in the world knows that a brave young general, Yue Fei, was born in the Great Song Army.

However, this Yue Fei's fame is based on Fang Jie's death and Fang La's extreme pain, and his own happiness is based on my pain, Yue Fei, Zhang Ying, Zhang Shuye, Tan Zhen, you can, you really can! Fang La frowned, convened a battle meeting in front of the emperor, gathered all the generals and strategists under his command, and began to inquire about the next combat strategy, the core of the battle had been determined by him - to avenge Fang Jie, kill Yue Fei, Zhang Ying, Zhang Shuye and Tan Zhen, and punish the Song army of 150,000!

The core is set, so how is the plan formulated? This is not Fang La's task, he needs to decide, not plan, he has enough talent resources to plan for him, such as the general, Wang Yin, the secretary of the military department, can plan for him: "Your Majesty, the number of our army is far above the Song army, although we have lost our spirit, but as long as our army wins a battle, even if it is just a small victory, it is enough to rub the spirit of the Song army and greatly increase the courage of our army."

The top priority is to improve morale, the death of General Fang Jie will greatly reduce the morale of our army and increase the morale of the Song army, which is not a good thing for our army, if there is no morale, then even if the Song army only has 100,000 people, it can defeat our army of 300,000 troops, so it is necessary to send brave generals to lead elite divisions to annihilate an army of the Song army, behead its generals, and stimulate the morale of our army, and then we can attack in a big way! ”

Fang La nodded and praised: "Good! There are many brave generals in our army, I don't know which general is willing to take on this responsibility and annihilate a Song army for our army and behead its generals? ”

There are many generals under the tent who ask for their lives, Fang La picks and chooses, and always feels that he is not satisfied, this time the troops must be victorious, and they must not be defeated, and they must win a big victory, they must absolutely overwhelmingly win, and they must kill the Song general, the status of this Song general cannot be too low, otherwise there is no deterrent effect on the Song army.

Therefore, it is necessary to kill the officers above the command of the Song army, so that it can be effective, otherwise who knows whether the Song army is afraid or not? Has the morale of our army been boosted? These are all issues that need to be considered, and Fang La can't help but consider these very important issues, so he has to think twice, but he still can't choose his favorite general.

Wang Yin saw Fang La's worries, he himself was also worried, even these two defeats, lost a lot of soldiers and horses and generals, Fang Qifo and Zheng Qing were not enough to make Fang La hurt his muscles and bones, but Fang Jie's death can definitely make Fang La feel pain, Fang Jie is not only a general for Fang La, but also his blood relative, powerful arm help, a very trustworthy supervisor like a character, with Fang Jie in the army, he is not worried that someone will rebel against him, but as soon as Fang Jie died, everything was different.

Having said that, what is needed most now is to stabilize the situation and reshape the image of Fang La's army as invincible and invincible, rebellion was originally a matter of opening the bow and not turning back, and he made the secretary of the military department, if Fang La is defeated, he must have no way to live, he must let Fang La live, and finally win, and his own people have a way to live.

Therefore, it is time to invite that big man to fight to have an effect!

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends the national teacher to lead the army to battle!" Wang Yin said.

The scene quieted down, and everyone turned their eyes to Deng Yuanjue, the national teacher who closed his eyes and said nothing, Deng Yuanjue originally closed his eyes, and when he heard Wang Yin's recommendation, he opened his eyes, looked at Wang Yin, looked at Fang La, and said: "In this case, Your Majesty, the poor monk is willing to go on a journey for Your Majesty, take the life of the general of the Song Army and come to see Your Majesty again." ”

Fang La was overjoyed: "The national teacher is willing to fight, that's the best!" Hahaha! With the bravery of the national teacher, he will definitely be able to defeat the Song army in one fell swoop! National Teacher, I and your 30,000 elite soldiers, please ask the National Teacher to kill a member of the Song Army for my army! ”

Deng Yuanjue's face was calm, and his hands were folded: "The poor monk obeys the order!" ”

As a monk, he shouldn't have used the killing commandment, Deng Yuanjue asked himself that he hadn't done anything hurtful, but Fang La personally came to invite him, as a warrior monk, eating vegetarian all day long can't meet his physical needs, plus his body is much stronger than ordinary monks, and he needs more energy, so eating meat is inevitable, but this practice will obviously make those monks and apprentices who respect themselves very concerned, so in order to avoid suspicion, it is also to eat more meat, Deng Yuanjue agreed to Fang La's request and came to be a national teacher.

Eating other people's mouths is short, and taking other people's hands is soft, this is a natural thing, Deng Yuanjue received the order, went out of the camp, ordered 30,000 elite soldiers, and killed Fang Jie at the place where the halberd sank into the sand.

And the Song army, after the victory, Yue Fei's fame rose to the sky and became a big hero in the Song army, the morale of the Song army was also greatly boosted, everyone rejoiced, and wanted to rest and rest, but Yue Fei did not allow the army to carnival all night, but stepped up training and preparation for war, Zhang Ying and Zhang Shuye asked Yue Tuo if this was necessary, Yue Tuo replied that it was very necessary, we killed Fang Jie, Fang La must be furious, limited to his own conditions, he will definitely not be able to fight a protracted war with us, and he will definitely lead the army to rush to a decisive battle with us, And the decisive battle requires high conditions, one of which is morale.

Fang Jie died, Fang La lost a general, Fang La's army will also be demoralized, it is impossible for Fang La not to understand this, so he will definitely come to find the field, stimulate morale, and then come to fight with us, we do this, it is very necessary, in the last battle, the elite forbidden army veterans lost more than 2,000 people, and there are less than 15,000 combatable soldiers left, and the rest are either surrendered or new troops, and they can't bear more significant responsibilities at all, if they don't train urgently, do they have to wait until the veterans are exhausted, and then send new recruits to die?

Zhang Ying and Zhang Shuye originally felt that it was necessary to give the soldiers a day off, especially the old forbidden army and the hard-working generals who had won the battle, they were very tired, and asking them to train immediately afterwards would make the soldiers dissatisfied and cause the morale of the army to fluctuate, so Yue Fu's proposal would be vetoed, but at the critical moment, he had already woken up, but Tan Zhi, the supervising army who had not said anything for a few days, spoke.

"According to the meaning of our family, what Liulang said also has some truth, Fang La's loss of general, loss of nephew, what kind of anger in his heart, everyone understands, no one knows how a person under anger does things, even if he comes to attack at night tonight, he can't say, our family has been marching and fighting for a while, although there is no victory, and we are ashamed to trust the official family, but the military discipline, our family still knows, so all along, watching Liulang pay attention to military discipline, even if he does not win, he will not be defeated, so he didn't say much.

But now Zhang Shuai and the deputy marshal said that they want to give the soldiers a holiday, our family does not dare to agree, between the wars, even if our family knows, we must not relax our vigilance, why did the two marshals forget? In the past, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty inspected the military camp, only Zhou Yafu's military camp was in a state of combat readiness, Emperor Wen came to the conclusion that Zhou Yafu was available, and sure enough, Zhou Yafu pacified the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. ”

Although Zhang Ying and Zhang Shuye wondered why Tan Zhi, who had always been silent, would speak for Yue Fu at this time, at least in fact, the supervising army was the supreme commander of an army, similar to the role between officers and political commissars, a little higher, if he really seized the power, the commander would also be second.

Zhang Ying and Zhang Shuye didn't say anything more, agreed with Tan Zhen's words, and had no intention of insisting on letting the soldiers rest, they agreed, but Yue Chuan began to be a little suspicious, why would this dead eunuch help him speak? I have nothing to do with him, how can he help him? When things go wrong, there must be demons, and Yue Chuan felt that he needed to figure it out
