Tang Huai instinctively wanted to scold Zhang Xian, but he was reluctant to say it: "Brother, after all, it's Tang Yin in front! Your Yue Yun is already eight years old, don't let him fail to recognize you when he sees you!"

"I was just hesitant." Yue Fei confessed on the horse. "The key is that Wang Taiwei sent a letter to all the counties before, making the Jin soldiers think that we are the main force. Now there are too many Jin soldiers in the north..."

Tang Huai nodded immediately. This was exactly what he thought... He also wanted to go home, but as a mature person, he was more concerned about whether he could really go there.

"As for you, you idiot." Yue Fei once again squinted at Zhang Xian, his face becoming more serious. "Are we the same as Emperor Zhao? Emperor Zhao has his own selfish motives, but his selfish motives can mobilize the public spirit of the people. Only by relying on Emperor Zhao's selfish motives can we really drive away the Jin people and return home in peace! Don't talk nonsense like this in the future."

Zhang Xian felt aggrieved... You have to know that the words about Emperor Zhao's selfish motives were originally made up by his elder brother Yue after he came out of the imperial court, just like the treacherous Prime Minister Li Gang. However, as usual, his elder brother Yue came up with another set of reasons to refute his own words, and he, as his younger brother, was unable to refute them.

Of course, Zhang Xian was just feeling aggrieved, and he didn't dare to say anything in front of Yue Fei and Tang Huai.

Now that the three brothers had gathered together and had a rough understanding of the situation, they stopped talking and went out of the mountain pass together. They joined a team of seven or eight cavalry guards waiting outside and went back to the camp (Ji Qing's bandit nest) which was also in the valley.

It was a cold winter day, and the mountain roads were difficult to travel on. There were even scattered Jin cavalry scouts on the road. Yue Fei and his companions had an hard time along the way, and only returned to the camp with only a few hundred people until evening.

Seeing that Yue Fei was fine, the officers and soldiers of the camp, who had long been conquered by this general with great martial arts and strict military discipline, breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought they were lucky. When they learned that General Wang did not pursue the matter and instead let off the hook, the whole camp was even more jubilant.

However, the matter was not over yet. Under the mist in the mountains at night, Yue Fei, who had just entered the tent, had not yet had time to have a hot meal when Wang Gui, Yue's most trusted and most relied upon brother, as well as the most capable and highest-ranking one, suddenly came into the tent again, apparently with a secret to tell in private.

"The General Jin that my brother captured actually took the initiative to reveal many secrets in order to save his life." Wang Gui said in a low voice.

"Since the first year of the Jing Kang period, this is the first time I have seen such a stupid Jin general." Yue Fei put down his bowl, stunned for a moment, and opened his eyes wide. He didn't know whether he despised the Jin general or didn't believe his brother's intentions.

"This is not a genuine Jin general." Wang Gui could not help but sneer. "Although this man looks like a Tartar, he is a Liao Tartar. Don't you know the nature of Liao Tartars?"

Yue Fei also laughed.

By the way, the brothers had rich military experience. Zhang Xian was still young in his early years and did not catch up, but Wang Gui and Tang Huai enlisted with him to join the brave warriors designed to attack Liao. They served under the command of the famous minister Liu Qian and indeed met many Liao military generals. They knew that those people were old-fashioned, no different from the Song Dynasty at that time. It was just that now they followed new masters, and they couldn't help but become nervous again.

"Then it is credible. Tell me about it." Yue Fei picked up the bowl again and motioned Wang Gui to tell it in detail.

"Two things!" Wang Gui continued to whisper. "First, the Jin army's march southward this time was not a hasty encounter, but a large army marching southward, divided into two routes, east and west..."

Yue Fei was slightly startled, and then took a bite of rice.

"He made it clear about the west. Nianhan is the Grand Marshal. He has sent out 100,000 soldiers, 100,000 soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry. It is said that they are going to attack Shanzhou and Luoyang, sweep Hedong, and even advance to Guanzhong... He is not clear about the east. He only knows that roughly speaking, they are going to sweep Damingfu in Hebei, and then attack Qingzhou. Who knows, they will also attack Nanjing!"

"How many soldiers are there?" Yue Fei, who had no idea that Emperor Zhao had fled south and then stopped, could no longer swallow his food. He put down his bowl and asked seriously.

"No more, no less." Wang Gui also answered seriously. "Because although there is no marshal over there, there are eleven thousand households! The vanguard and the deputy marshal who hold the fort are the sons and cousins ​​of the old emperor Aguda of the Jin Dynasty."

It was cold in early winter, but Yue Fei felt a rare heat in his chest. After digesting all this with great effort, he spoke again: "What about the second thing? How do you say it?"

"The second thing is that General Wang was full of ambition before, and he sent out proclamations to the counties of Hebei and Hedong, which caused the Jin army to panic and think that it was a legitimate army. Therefore, the Jin army here received an order to kill General Wang before they could go south..." For some reason, under the dim candlelight in the tent, Wang Gui stood on one side in armor, breathing out white mist, as if he had other intentions.

“That’s a good thing.”

Yue Fei stared at his brother's face, thought for a moment, then came to his senses, and then he relaxed a lot. "The Jin people are strong in cavalry, and they can't display their strength in the mountains. And Wang Taiwei's success or failure in the mountains does not depend on the disparity in military strength, but on whether he can suppress the people's hearts... And he can help Zong Liushou and Shanzhou and Luoyang to involve a lot of troops!"

Wang Gui nodded repeatedly: "Brother, you are right, that's what I think! Besides, I have been thinking about it all day. It is none of our brothers' business that Wang Taiwei has become a target. It is useless for us to stay here. But Wang Taiwei is not only helping the clan to stay and tie up the troops...Brother, why can't we take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Jin army is heading south and the Jin army here is going to surround Wang Taiwei first, and take the opportunity to go back to Xiangzhou from the outside?!"
