Chapter 44: Marshal Yue, Loyal to the Country

【His counterattack is the most blood-boiling inspirational story.】

【Joined the army at 20, starting as a small soldier of the "dare-to-fight" from the very bottom.】

【But gold always shines, he relied on his courage and martial arts to make repeated achievements on the battlefield, such as beheading the enemy general "Black Wind King", and began to emerge.】

On the Sky Screen, young Yue Fei put on armor and went to battle.

On the battlefield, the Jin army's "Black Wind King" rode a tall horse, waving a big sword, unstoppable by anyone.

Yue Fei raised his spear to meet him, the spear coming out like a dragon.

With just one move, he stabbed the "Black Wind King" under the horse.

The Jin army was in chaos, and the Song army took advantage of the situation to kill.

Yue Fei was covered in blood, standing on the battlefield, his eyes like torches.

Jin Dynasty.

Wanyan Zonghan's face was gloomy when he saw this image.

"Black Wind King... that was my fierce general." He whispered.

The subordinate beside him said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this Yue Fei..."

Wanyan Zonghan waved his hand,

"No need to say, I know this person is amazing."

He stared at Yue Fei on the Sky Screen, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Both hatred and awe.

【But what really made him take off was that humiliating era — "Jingkang Shame".】

【The tragedy of the country's destruction and family's death completely ignited his belief in "loyalty to the country" (by the way, the four big characters tattooed on his back were tattooed by his mother Yao, which became his lifelong spiritual binding equipment).】

【He was full of enthusiasm, submitted a petition to the emperor requesting a northern expedition, but was dismissed because he was low-ranking and his words were light.】

【But this couldn't hit him, he turned to join the main-war faction general and fought all the way on the anti-Jin front.】

On the Sky Screen, the image became heavy.

In the second year of Jingkang, the Jin army broke through Tokyo, and the Emperors Huizong and Qinzong were captured.

Countless palace maids and officials were escorted north, crying to the sky.

Young Yue Fei knelt in front of his mother, taking off his upper garment.

His mother held a silver needle and tattooed four big characters on his back: Loyal to the country.

Every needle went down, blood seeped out.

Yue Fei gritted his teeth and didn't move.

After tattooing, he put on his clothes, raised his spear and mounted his horse, and rushed to the battlefield.

Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin felt heartbroken when he saw the words "Jingkang Shame".

That was the shame of his Great Song, the failure of his descendants.

He looked at the palace maids and officials captured on the Sky Screen, his eyes red.

"I have failed them." He whispered.

Zhao Pu beside him said softly: "Your Majesty, that is not your fault."

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head,

"I am the founding emperor of the Great Song, the shame of the Great Song is my shame."

He saw the scene of Yue Fei kneeling and tattooing, and was in tears.

"Good, good. Loyal to the country, good!" He said loudly.

Jin Dynasty.

Wanyan Zonghan was silent when he saw this image.

He knew that such a person was the most terrible enemy.

Because he had beliefs, faith, and was not afraid of death.

"Loyal to the country... a good 'loyal to the country'." He whispered.

【His military achievements were fought out in one hard battle after another.】

【He formed the "Yue Family Army" that made the Jin army terrified, with strict military discipline, "frozen to death without tearing down houses, starved to death without looting".】

【He was like a commander who opened a hang, leading this iron army to start the northern expedition copy】

【Recovered the six counties of Xiangyang, defeated the main force of the puppet Qi in one battle, and took the strategic location.】

【He pacified Yang Yao in eight days, using few to defeat many in the complex water battles of Dongting Lake, swiftly annihilating the massive rebel army of Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao, and incorporating their elite naval forces.】

【Northern Expedition Peak — Yancheng, Yingchang Great Victory, this was the highlight of his military career. Facing the Jin army's most elite "Iron Pagoda" and "Crutch Horse", he cleverly used infantry tactics to break the enemy army.】

【Especially the Battle of Zhuxian Town, the vanguard of the Yue Family Army reached 45 miles from Bianjing (Kaifeng), and the Jin army commander Jin Wuzhu sighed: "It is easy to shake a mountain, but hard to shake the Yue family army!"】

【Recovering the old capital of the Central Plains, it was really just one step away!】

On the Sky Screen, the battle flag of the Yue Family Army fluttered in the wind.

On that flag, a big "Yue" character made the Jin army flee in the wind.

Recovering the six counties of Xiangyang, the Yue Family Army was unstoppable.

Eight days to pacify Yang Yao, the Yue Family Army advanced by water and land.

Yancheng Great Victory, Yue Fei's infantry used hemp-tied knives to cut off the horse legs of the Jin army's "Iron Pagoda".

Yingchang Great Victory, Yue Yun waved double hammers, killing the Jin army.

Zhuxian Town, the vanguard of the Yue Family Army reached 45 miles from Bianjing.

Jin Wuzhu stood on the city wall, looking at the battle flag of the Yue Family Army in the distance, and sighed to the sky.

"It is easy to shake a mountain, but hard to shake the Yue family army!"

This sentence echoed on the Sky Screen.

Han Dynasty.

Liu Che's eyes lit up when he saw these military achievements.

"Recovered six counties, pacified in eight days, Yancheng Great Victory, Yingchang Great Victory, Zhuxian Town..."

He looked at Huo Qubing,

"Qubing, what do you think of this person?"

Huo Qubing said seriously: "Your Majesty, this person uses troops like a god, governs the army strictly, and is a true commander. I admire him."

Liu Che laughed,

"A person who can make my Champion Marquis admire is not simple!" 【44-71

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin watched the battle situation on the sky screen and nodded repeatedly.

"This Yue Fei is truly formidable."

He looked at Li Jing: "What do you think of his tactics?"

Li Jing pondered and said: "Your Majesty, his greatest ability is being able to make infantry move with the speed of cavalry. Especially in that battle against the 'Iron Pagodas,' having the infantry hack at the horses' legs—this required immense courage and precise command. A slight misstep would have meant the total annihilation of the army."

Li Shimin nodded: "That is why he is a genius. What a genius does, ordinary people cannot learn."

Jin Dynasty.

Wanyan Zonghan looked at the words "It is easy to shake a mountain, but hard to shake the Yue Family Army" on the sky screen, his face turning ashen.

Those were his own words; seeing them broadcast like this on the sky screen made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

But he had to admit, the words were true.

"The Yue Family Army... is truly a grave threat to my heart," he said in a low voice.

A subordinate beside him said cautiously,

"Your Majesty, that Yue Fei later..."

Wanyan Zonghan sighed. He stared at the sky screen, complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up in excitement upon seeing the battle at Zhuxian Town.

"They reached forty-five li from Bianjing! Just one step away! Just one step!"

He said loudly: "If Yue Wumu had been allowed to recover the Central Plains, how could the Great Song have fallen!"

Liu Bowen beside him said softly: "Your Majesty, unfortunately, there are no 'ifs'."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, then slowly sat down.

"Yes, there are no 'ifs'."

【By virtue of these unparalleled military achievements, Yue Fei rose from a commoner to the rank of Jiedushi of Qingyuan Army, Jiezhi Shi of Jingxiang Tanzhou of Hubei Circuit, and Jianjiao Shaobao, finally being enfeoffed as the Founding Duke of Wuchang Commandery. He was the commander with the most distinguished military service and the highest prestige among the restoration generals of the Southern Song, known to all as "Marshal Yue".】

On the sky screen, the scene of Yue Fei receiving his enfeoffment.

He wore court dress, standing in the imperial court.

The Song Gaozong personally conferred the title upon him.

But there was no joy on his face; he accepted it calmly.

He knew his battlefield was not in the court, but on the front lines.
