Duan Wu said with a gloomy face: "Dangdao, do you have to be an enemy of our King of Chu's Mansion? Don't forget that this is Jingzhou. Do you really plan to start a war with us? I advise you to think twice."

Du Jia said lightly: "I have no intention of going against you, but now you are here to drive us away. We tried our best to kill the officers and soldiers and recapture Dongting Lake. You just came here to pick peaches without hands, right?"

Duan Wu smiled coldly and said, "You can't say that. This world still depends on your strength. It's not bad. I admit that you did a good job before, but you paid a considerable price. At this moment, the officers and soldiers still have nearly 20,000 troops around Dongting Lake, and the subsequent troops are still coming. Can you just rely on your three or five thousand people to repel them? In the end, it must be up to our people. Du Ling, you are a smart person. You won't understand this principle, right?"

Yang Yao also sneered: "No matter how many officers and soldiers there are, we are not afraid. As long as they dare to step into Dongting Lake, we will fight with them. At worst, we will be able to break the enemy to death. It will not cost you the King of Chu's Mansion to worry about it."

Duan Wu ignored Yang Yao, but looked at Du Jia and said, "Ling Du, I respect your ability and admit your efforts this time. Let me put forward a compromise solution. Let's see, in order to show our sincerity, our King of Chu can send troops to repel all the officers and soldiers along the Dongting Lake, completely relieve the danger of Dongting Lake, and then you will give us Dongting Lake. If the Thirteen Taibao people want to stay and welcome us, we will not stop them if they want to leave with you. Of course, our King of Chu will also make compensation. The 100,000 taels of silver should not be a small amount, right?"

Before Du Jia could answer, Yang Yao snorted first: "Mr. Duan, you are smart enough to settle the bill. If you want to take this Dongting Lake for just 100,000 taels of silver, it is cheaper than free. Don't say we will never leave Dongting Lake. Even if we want to leave, it is not the price. Don't dream."

Duan Wu was about to speak, but suddenly a small school rushed out to report: "My lords, the big thing is wrong. The spies were unwilling to fail when they found out that the officers and soldiers were unwilling to fail, and sent four reinforcements to come here. It was less than thirty miles away from the new camp on our shore."

Everyone was shocked, and Yang Yao hurriedly asked, "What are the troops? What are the troops? Who are the generals for?"

The school immediately replied: "One route is Zhang Peng, the training envoy of the Ma Army Corps of Shouchun Prefecture, led 3,000 troops, the second route is Zhang Jun, the training envoy of the Anhua Prefecture Infantry Corps, led 3,000 troops, the third route is Ma Chunhua, the commander of Jiuhua Prefecture, led 2,500 troops, and the fourth route is Yue Fei, the head of the infantry army of Huayin County, led 800 troops."

It would be fine to others, but Du Jia couldn't help but be shocked. Of course, he was not afraid of these officers and soldiers - Hu Yanzhuo's 20,000 troops and serial horses were defeated by him. How could a few thousand brigades of local soldiers take seriously? What surprised him was the last infantryman who seemed the most inconspicuous and even a little funny, who dared to support him with only eight hundred people - Yue Fei!

That's right, it was the famous anti-Jin hero, Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, who revived the four generals of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was the top genius commander in the Southern Song Dynasty and even the entire Song Dynasty. The Jin soldiers who fought hundreds of battles in their lives were as afraid of it as a tiger, leaving behind the sigh of "It's easy to shake the mountain, but it's difficult to shake the Yue family's army". Unfortunately, they were finally killed by Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou and the treacherous prime minister Qin Hui on the charge of "false". They were only thirty-nine years old when they died!

In addition to his extraordinary martial arts and command, Yue Fei's most commendable loyalty was his loyalty. When he was young, his mother stabbed the four words "Loyalty to the country" on his back, leaving behind the eternal story of his mother-in-law's tattoo. Therefore, he has always been loyal to the Song Dynasty and fought south and north. Among his brilliant achievements, the biggest one except the Jin people was Yang Yao who destroyed Dongting Lake!

This is also the most criticized thing about him in later generations. Yang Yao and the others were forced to survive and rebel fishermen and boatmen, but in the end they were cruelly suppressed by Yue Fei. From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was an executioner with his hands covered with blood from the people. However, at that time, he was a manifestation of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, which depends on how you understand it.

Unexpectedly, history has come back skillfully, but now Yang Yao is already a major general under Du Jia, so Du Jia naturally won't let him be defeated by Yue Fei. On the contrary, he is very interested in subduing this famous general who is somewhat pedantic and upright.

Just as Du Jia was thinking, he heard Duan Wu say proudly: "How about it, I'm right? Look, the officers and soldiers have arrived, and they are nearly 10,000 people. You guys - especially most of them are sailors, are definitely not opponents. How about it, let's consider my proposal carefully, haha."

Yang Yao was about to scold him but was stopped by Du Jia. Du Jia suddenly changed his previous coldness and smiled at Duan Wu: "Uncle Guo is indeed as expected. After thinking about it again and again, I feel it is reasonable. Look at this, as long as you can repel all the reinforcements from all four routes, we can agree to give this Dongting Lake to you. Of course, in order to show your sincerity, the 100,000 taels of silver will be sent first."

Yang Yao and Xia Cheng and others were all shocked. They were about to persuade him but Du Jia showed his eyes not to speak. Duan Wu was naturally surprised and happy, and even said excited words were unsuccessful: "Young Master Jia, do you take this seriously?"

Du Jia said frankly: "A real man's words are as good as hell. If the uncle doesn't believe it, we can write an agreement now and tell the world that the King of Chu is one of the three major earth-level forces in the world. Our Liangshan is a bit famous. If he breaks his promise, wouldn't he be ridiculed by heroes in the world?"

Duan Wu was overjoyed and raised his thumbs up and praised: "Okay, happy, Young Master Jia is worthy of being a young hero and a rising star. So how about we draft the agreement at this moment?"

Duan Wu didn't know why Du Jia suddenly changed his words. He didn't know whether he was afraid of the people from the government or something suddenly happened, but this was naturally a good thing for them. Of course, he had to strike while the iron was hot and finalize the matter, for fear that Du Jia would react badly if it was too late.

Unexpectedly, Du Jia agreed readily and asked someone to use paper and brush to write down the agreement, indicating that as long as the Chu Palace can repel all the officers and soldiers along Dongting Lake, including the four troops who came to assist this time, the original Thirteen Taibao's troops in Liangshan and Dongting Lake will take the initiative to evacuate and give it to them. In addition, the Chu King's side will also send 100,000 taels of silver as compensation.

If the King of Chu and others were unable to annihilate or force all the officers and soldiers along Dongting Lake within half a year, not only would the 100,000 taels of silver not be returned, but the King of Chu would never allow the idea of ​​making Dongting Lake again in the future.

Haha, the last riddle of the previous volume is revealed, and the important figures who appeared in this volume are Yang Yao and Yue Fei. You must have guessed it as clever as you can?
