Chapter 64: The Army Gains Power and Subdues the Generals



These die-hard loyal men of Yue Fei were not afraid and grabbed Wang Bolun and pushed him to the ground. A swordsman came over with a big knife in hand.

Wang Bolun was horrified. He had not expected Yue Fei, a young man, to do what he said. He was so frightened that he shouted: "Yue Fei, you dare to kill me? I will not let you go even if I become a ghost! Yue Fei, you will not die well!"

The swordsman revered Yue Fei as a god. In his eyes, Commander Yuan Shuo was nothing. The swordsman raised his sword.

Wang Bolun stared with his eyes wide open and screamed in fear: "Ah~!"

With a snap, the screams stopped. Wang Bolun's head was chopped off.

The commander was chopped off, and all the Yuan Shuo soldiers were horrified. No one dared to step forward.

Yue Fei's face darkened. "Wang Bolun, the commander of the Yuanshuo army! He disregarded the law and disobeyed orders. He also coerced the crowd into gambling. Execute him immediately! Wang Bolun's affair has nothing to do with you. Where is the deputy commander?"

A nimble soldier stood up and said, "I am Liang Zifan, Deputy Commander Yuan Shuo, and I am honored to meet Marshal Yue!"

Yue Fei looked at him and said, "Here, Liang Zifan is promoted to the commander of Yuanshuo. I order all your troops to perform their duties and await orders."

Liang Zifan clasped his fists and said, "As you wish!"

Yue Fei, a natural born military leader, captured Commander Yuan Shuo in a snap of his fingers.

Wang Bolun, the Yuanshuo commander, was known for his nepotism and incompetence. His reckless and chaotic leadership during battles had long displeased the soldiers. But when he was executed, no one objected. Even his trusted confidants dropped their weapons and retreated to the side.

"General Liang, I will be in Taiyuan Prefecture to discuss matters at 1:00 AM tomorrow."

Liang Zifan clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely be there!"

"Go to Daizhou!" Yue Fei mounted his warhorse, and his soldiers followed him.

Yue Fei was promoted to the post of Shanxi Xuanfu Envoy. Three days ago, he ordered the commanders of all the garrisons to come to Taiyuan Prefecture for a meeting. However, none of the garrisons came. They were all dissatisfied with Yue Fei, who had been hastily appointed without any qualifications and was riding high on their heads.

Xia Dechao, the commander of Daizhou, was considered a capable fighter. The Daizhou army under his command resisted the fierce offensive of Wanyan Zonghan's western army for two days and two nights, but was finally defeated due to the large enemy numbers and small numbers.

When Yue Fei arrived at Daizhou Army, Xia Dechao was directing the soldiers to practice shooting.

Xia Dechao has a strong body and sharp eyes. You never seem to see a smile on his face.

While inspecting the soldiers' training, Xia Dechao shouted, "You are all soldiers of the Song Dynasty. The safety of the country is entrusted to us, so we should show our manliness! Those who are afraid of death, those who are timid, don't come to my Daizhou Army. Go home and hug your wife!"

"Good!" Someone behind him clapped his hands. Xia Dechao turned around and recognized Yue Fei. He had greatly admired Yue Fei's bravery during the defense of Taiyuan. He admired him, but not so much that he promoted a small lieutenant colonel to the position of Shanxi Xuanfu I.

"It turns out to be Colonel Yue. Oh, I was wrong, it should be Marshal Yue!" Xia Dechao said coldly.

"I've long heard that General Xia is good at commanding the army. Today, I see that all the soldiers of the Daizhou Army are full of energy. I admire them!" Yue Fei clasped his fists.

Xia Dechao clasped his fists in return and said, "Well, what brings Marshal Yue to my Daizhou army?"

Yue Fei sneered at his pretentious question: "Three days ago, I ordered the commanders of the garrisons in various places to go to Taiyuan Prefecture for a meeting. Why didn't General Xia go?"

Xia Dechao snorted: "I still have soldiers to train. I don't have time to attend such a frivolous meeting!"

Yue Fei was not angry, but smiled and said: "Well, since General Xia is so busy with military affairs, I will not force him to do anything. General Xia trains day and night, so I think he must be very good at it. I would like to see him for myself."

Xia Dechao was delighted when he heard this: "Great! Marshal Yue, please follow me. If Marshal Yue can defeat me, I will personally come to Taiyuan tomorrow to participate in the meeting."

Yue Fei clasped his fists and said, "Please!"

In the martial arts training hall, eighteen kinds of weapons were neatly arranged in a row.

Xia Dechao took out a Overlord Halberd and twisted it into a flower spear. This Overlord Halberd weighed about 40 kilograms and was completely black. It was Xia Dechao's favorite weapon.

Yue Fei simply took an ordinary wooden spear, shook it in his hand, and stood with the spear.

"Wow!" Xia Dechao shouted and attacked with his spear.

Yue Fei didn't move, and just as the Overlord Halberd was about to pierce him, Xia Dechao was startled and was about to withdraw his hand. Unexpectedly, Yue Fei simply turned slightly, and Xia Dechao's stab missed.

"Good!" Xia Dechao cheered and raised his halberd again.

The Overlord's halberd's powerful strikes struck the enemy's vital points. Yue Fei dodged desperately, unable to land a single blow. Strangely, no matter how Xia Dechao leaped and dodged, he couldn't get within three feet of Yue Fei.

When Xia Dechao had finished his thirty-six sword techniques and was about to start over, Yue Fei shouted loudly, and the shadow of his spear appeared. Stabbing, prodding, poking, sweeping, and picking. Defending while attacking, attacking while defending.

Xia Dechao was dazzled by what he saw and had no idea where the gunshot came from, so he could only retreat.

"Here!" Yue Fei thrust his spear forward, and the Overlord Halberd in Xia Dechao's hand flew out of his hand.

Xia Dechao had been defeated, but Yue Fei did not let him go. He also threw away his spear and fought him in close combat.

At this moment, the two men were fighting with bare hands, and the wind was whistling.

Xia De's powerful moves were powerful and deep, and he shouted loudly after each blow. Yue Fei used stillness to control movement, often striking later but achieving the first blow. Fists and kicks flew back and forth, and the two had fought for dozens of rounds.

Yue Fei's moves were ruthless, and each strike had countless follow-up moves. Xia Dechao had to muster all his strength to barely hold on, but this time he could only defend himself and had no power to fight back.

At this point, Xia Dechao couldn't stop and admit defeat unless Yue Fei withdrew his attack. However, Yue Fei's movements were too fast, leaving Xia Dechao no time to breathe or speak. He could only struggle to hold on. If Yue Fei had killed him at this moment, Xia Dechao would have been dead on the spot.

Finally, Yue Fei grabbed Xia Dechao's throat with one move, then quickly jumped back and stood with his hands behind his back.

Xia Dechao then realized that Yue Fei had torn his chest, neck, heart, abdomen, and clothes everywhere. He knew that the other party was showing mercy.

How could he dare to show off his strength at this moment? He was convinced and bowed to the ground. Yue Fei rushed forward and hurriedly helped him up.

"Marshal Yue, I admire you!"

Yue Fei laughed heartily: "General Xia is mighty."

Little did they know that the Yue Family Spear was unrivaled, known as the King of Spears. Its movements were simple and elegant, each one a match for the enemy, a single strike a sure kill. And the Yue Family's free-hand fighting style was a truly unique martial arts technique, comprising thirty-two forms and one hundred and seventy-three techniques. They relied on waiting for the enemy's move, then winning by swiftness. Their attacks were fierce, exploiting every opportunity. Their attacks were vicious and swift. Not only Xia Dechao, but even the top martial arts masters would be outmatched.

Yue Fei glanced over and saw an iron-framed bow hanging in the middle of the martial arts training hall. With a swift turn, he took the bow, gripping it with his left hand and pulling the string with his right.

"General Yue, this is a 300-jin iron-framed bow, and no one can pull it open." Xia Dechao stopped him.

Yue Fei did not answer, but he was seen to exert his might in his arms. He took a step forward, bent down, and forcibly pulled the 300-jin iron bow.

Xia Dechao was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.

Yue Fei could pull 300 kilograms of force with his right hand, he was truly gifted.

With a "bang", Yue Fei's right hand loosened and the iron bow trembled. It showed his great arm strength.

From then on, Xia Dechao was convinced by Yue Fei and vowed to follow him until death.
