Yao Rui, Wu Jue, Liu Jian and others are all veteran generals of the Western Army. He also played a good reputation in the First Battle of Fuping, and the generals under his command were all strong troops of the Western Army, which was comparable to Yue Fei's more than 10,000 patchwork miscellaneous army.

The elite soldiers and horses, although they were forged in the commander's art of war, military discipline and personal charm, but Yue Fei's time to become an army was too short, and he was not too valued, and his equipment and weapons must not be compared with the Western Army, which has always been the elite of the forbidden army.

If it weren't for the fact that he was extremely strict with the whole army, he was afraid that the combat effectiveness of his subordinates would not be as good as an ordinary township archer in Shaanxi.

This situation has been going on for a long time and it doesn't happen overnight. From another point of view, even if the combat effectiveness of Yue Fei's subordinates really surpassed the Western Army at this time, it could not change the established impression in people's minds.

This is clear to everyone.

Within the Western Army system, there are constant battles, but externally, they are very united, and many generals of the Western Army follow Zhao Gou to the southeast, but they still regard themselves as a member of the Western Army, and they do not pay attention to the so-called Beijing Army, Heshuo Army, and Southeast Forbidden Army. It is certainly a good thing for Yue Fei to seek war, but many generals of the Western Army are absolutely unwilling to let a general from the Bazi Army go to Shaanxi to lead the troops to fight. The emperor himself would not think that Yue Fei's troops were stronger than the Western Army, and he had to go all the way to transfer him to Guanshan.

Naturally, they didn't understand that Emperor Zhao Huan at this time not only attached importance to Yue Fei, but also paid far more attention to ordinary people. If it weren't for that, Liu Guangshi's remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, a large number of armor, weapons and war horses, would not be delivered to him so easily.

Wang Gui said. Everyone understands. Transferred to Guanshan to fight, I am afraid that it is the fate of the wood to seek fish.

Yue Fei sighed and said to Wang Gui: "Yes, you said that the ground is exact. ”

He looked down at the music in front of him again, shook his head and said, "No matter what, it's good to give it a try." ”

Wang Gui said again: "Besides, Your Majesty has ordered Han Shizhong to lead Jiang Zhun completely. Yang Yizhong deployed to defend Jiankang, we are now also the status of the dignified recruitment department, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so in the past, it will be condescended to a corner of Taizhou, and it cannot be used, if you want to go out on the whole line, you have to beware of the entire southeast is not guaranteed, I think whether it is Your Majesty, or ourselves. None of them are willing to take this risk. ”

Although Zhang Xian's temper is explosive, he is not stupid, if not. Nor can he become a well-known commander in the Yuejia army. At the beginning, he was only angry with Wang Gui, but when he heard this, he already knew it. nodded immediately and said: "Yes, there is a stalemate on both sides now, and they have to prevent the army from coming out of Shaanxi." Take care of one and lose the other, this side of the southeast. I had to defend it first. If we attack rashly, we will lose the geographical advantage of the water network. It may not be pleasing on the plains. ”

He patted his leg and said, "No horses!" Since the pseudo-Qi attached to the Jurchens, they have had more than 100,000 war horses in a few years, and there are many horse supervisors alone, and we, although we have built cavalry of the three armies of back, horse, and youyi, there are only a few hundred horses, and there are no desperate searches. Without a large number of cavalry, how can you fight with people on the plains, the casualties are too heavy! ”

Everyone is a fierce general, and they are all frowning and sighing at this time.

The Song army lacked war horses, and it was like this since the founding of the country, the western army was good, adjacent to the Western Xia, there were some horse breeding lands, and they traded with the Western Xia or plundered a lot of war horses, and there were tens of thousands of cavalry. The Southeast Forbidden Army, on the other hand, has too few war horses to form an army.

Yue Fei has always attached importance to cavalry, knowing that cavalry is the only weapon for decisive battles, and in the southeast to meet the enemy, he can still take advantage of the terrain that cannot be unleashed, if he fights in the plain area, it must be cavalry, and there must be a large group of cavalry.

Everyone sitting here is a veteran general who has been fighting with Yue Fei for many years, and when they fought in the Central Plains, they have all seen large-scale Jurchen heavy horses, and when they think of the black and oppressive iron horses rushing over like a dark cloud, everyone is pale.

Later generations rumored that the Yue family army used hook and sickle spears to break the heavy cavalry of the Jurchens, but it was actually a joke. When a large-scale cavalry group charges, use the head of the spear to hook the opponent's horse legs, not to mention how big the impact is, whether it can be hooked, that is, tens of thousands of horse legs, but how many people are required to hook.

From ancient times to the present, those who can break the cavalry can only use a crossbow on the wall, or ride with a horse, and there is no other way to say otherwise.

Yue Fei understood this reason, and when the size of the army was just over 10,000 and there were few war horses, he established a cavalry unit with three military numbers. It's just that there are too few war horses, and they usually train separately, and when they are in battle, they let the Beiwei Army, which is Yue Fei's pro-army, go into battle, and because of this, the reputation of the Beiwei Army is getting louder and louder, breaking countless enemies, and becoming a famous elite soldier in later generations.

At this time, he saw that everyone was a little discouraged, so he said: "When marching and fighting, you can't rely entirely on war horses. How about Li Cheng of Pseudo-Qi, it's not that he has suffered a lot of losses in our hands. Many of the war horses he has at hand now are also gifts from him. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.

When Yue Fei's department was guarding Taizhou, he had many battles with the puppet Liu Di general Li Cheng's department, and the other party thought that there were many generals and a lot of war horses, and he often pressed the generals violently, but he always had to suffer a small loss in the hands of Yue Fei, and he came down several times, but he no longer dared to take the initiative to fight.

Everyone laughed, Yue Fei frowned again: "What Wang Gui said, I already understand. Most of Shaanxi can't go, and I will not go to the army of the envoy and the department, Jianghuai Jingdong, and I will not go. In this way, I am afraid that I will really go to Jinghu. There happened to be trouble over there, although Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan went to guard it, but they were subordinate to the forbidden army, and there were few battle formations, so they were afraid that they might not be in charge of the war. On the side of Jinghu, there are few generals. There is only one way to go, and to guard Xiangyang and protect Li Pingzhang's safety. ”

Wang Gui nodded again and again and replied, "Exactly, that's exactly what I think." ”

Zhang Xian shook his head and paused, and said repeatedly: "I thought that Miao Liu and the others had left us, but they had to meet them again, which was unlucky." ”

Yue Fei's face was also gloomy, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

He is now a solicitor, and he has his own responsibilities with Miao Fu Liu Zhengyan in eastern Zhejiang, and there is no need to be perfunctory. And when I arrived at Jinghu Lake, there was Li Gang, and as the envoy of the festival and Miao Liu, I was afraid that I would have to be more restrained, and when I thought of this, I was very unhappy.

Everyone is a military general, and Miao and Liu raised troops to rebel, but it is a taboo for martial artists. forced Zhao Gou to abdicate and fall to Zhao Huan, which is just that, for his own selfishness, killing his old boss Wang Yuan is even more shameful.

The thought of working with these two men, and even being under their command, was not happy in their hearts.

After half a ring, Wang Gui shouted: "I see that Your Majesty is very fond of the general, although it is meritorious this time, it is not above Miao and Liu, but in my opinion, Your Majesty's attention to us is still above Miao and Liu." will come to Dejing Lake, I am afraid that these two may not be able to control it, if not, why bother to strengthen our strength, wouldn't it be to make wedding dresses for others. ”

Yue Fei thought about it silently, and also felt that what he said was reasonable, but he had never been willing to worry about the emperor's thoughts, so he shook his head and said, "No matter what, just do your duty and serve the country." ”

Having said that, the thought of fighting the rebels and exterminating the peasants who were forced to rebel made me even more depressed.

His heart was unhappy, and so were others. As a military general, in front of a strong enemy, but he wants to use swords and guns against his own people, no one will cheer.

At that moment, everyone got up, saluted Yue Fei with their fists, and exited in turn.

Zhang Xian also wanted to leave, but Yue Fei suddenly remembered something, so he stopped him, ordered someone to take the robe, and smiled at him: "Accompany me to the camp for a walk." ”

Zhang Xian wanted to go back, but when he saw his invitation, he had to answer: "Yes." ”

When Yue Fei saw his expression, he knew that this young man's city was too shallow, and he was not happy about going to Jinghu, so he smiled at him: "Don't be like this, I don't have any appointment for you, even if we all go to Jinghu, you may not come until a long time later." By that time, Zhong Xiang had leveled down, and he could be transferred elsewhere. ”

Zhang Xian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked him, "Where did the eldest brother send me?" ”

Yue Fei shook his head with a smile, and only said: "This matter is talking while talking, there are many people here, and it is inconvenient to hear it." ”

"Yes, little brother saved."

The two of them put on their own robes and stepped on the clogs, although it was still raining heavily outside the tent, and they only felt comfortable, and they stayed in the stuffy tent for a long time.

Yue Fei walked along, Zhang Xian followed closely, but he heard Yue Fei say to him: "My recital to Your Majesty has been written, and I plan to send you to Chang'an to present the recital, and then see it on my Majesty's behalf." ”

Zhang Xianji was very opinionated, stunned for a while, and said: "Send an officer to bring a few people, why bother me to go." As for His Majesty's opinion, the eldest brother often said that to be a guard, you need to protect the border and guard the people, otherwise you need to try to forge ahead, and what is the benefit of always going to see Your Majesty if you have nothing to do. This time, why? ”

Yue Fei turned his head and said to him: "I believe you value you, everyone says that Your Majesty has acted completely differently from the past since the escape of the Five Kingdoms, and the situation in Shaanxi is also different from the past. It's just that people's words can't be trusted, and I can't go there myself, so I have to let you go on my behalf. ”

Zhang Xian was relieved and said with a smile: "I see, I looked at the eldest brother's expression and thought that something terrible was happening." ”

Yue Fei's face was still pale, and after looking around, he said to him: "There is one more thing, I am uneasy in my heart, and I am a little relieved to let you go to see Your Majesty and let you travel with Miao Fu and the others." ”

Zhang Xian was stunned when he saw him like this. After Yue Fei said that, Zhang Xian's face was embarrassed, and he only said: "If this matter angers Your Majesty, why bother." ”

Yue Fei paused and said: "This matter is related to the Zongmiao Society, and you can't let Your Majesty act." My courtiers and generals, what is the matter? If the temple is unstable, it will not be a futile effort. Even if you lose your life for this matter, it is worth it. ”

As soon as he said this, Zhang Xian had nothing else to say, and immediately said: "Since this is the case, I will never be dishonored!" ”

"Good!"

Yue Fei slapped him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "In this way, I can rest assured." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, turned their heads to look around, but saw that in the smoke and rain, a group of soldiers wielded knives and spears, trained endlessly, and shouted and killed, which was still clearly audible in this rain line, and the sound was in the ears.
