Yue Fei's heart moved, and he was also pleasantly surprised for a moment, and he was about to agree. However, the words got stuck in his throat, and for some reason, he couldn't utter them.
Wang Gui was surprised when he saw this, but like the other two, he always respected this "brother" who was the same age as him, so he didn't dare to say anything.
The two brothers stood and sat for a full stick of incense before Yue Pengju spoke slowly, using the tone he usually used when giving orders in the army:
"We can't take advantage of this and go to Xiangzhou! We have to go back to Henan quickly, tell Zong Liushou what happened, and then help Zong Liushou defend Tokyo!"
"elder brother?!"
Wang Gui was stunned for a long time before he understood the other party's order, but he found it difficult to understand. "It's not like we did anything bad. The Jin people wanted to go south, and Wang Taiwei wanted to pretend and attracted the main force of the Jin people nearby. Why can't I take advantage of this?"
"It's not about whether or not you can take advantage of this." Yue Fei stared at Wang Gui, his injured eye twitching again, but he spoke very seriously. "It's about understanding the truth..."
"How can I not go back when my home is in front of me?" Wang Gui was completely out of control.
Yue Fei felt mixed emotions, but he suppressed his emotions and explained earnestly to Wang Gui, the second-best person in the army:
"Brother, there are two types of going home: real going home and fake going home! If you go back now, you will certainly be able to get home, but you will definitely not be able to stay. In three or five days, three or five months, you will be driven out like chickens and dogs by the Jin people, and then the villagers will be massacred by the Jin people... Are you willing?"
When Wang Gui heard this, he thought of the hardships he had experienced in the past two years and burst into tears. However, he finally understood the truth and tried his best to answer, "Of course I don't want to!"
"So if we are good men, we must really go home!" Yue Fei stood up and held the other man's shoulders and said. "But if we really want to go home, there is only one way, that is to drive the Jin people out completely, or even to fight them back at home! But if we really want to drive the Jin people away, you have seen and heard that we must have a regular royal army that can fight against the Jin army of 100,000 or 200,000! And to have such a large army, the Song Dynasty must not fall, and the government must be safe! Otherwise, we can't even find military equipment! So if we want to go home now, we can only go south! Zhang Xian is a jerk, he definitely doesn't understand this principle, but you and Tang Huai must understand it anyway, otherwise I, Yue Fei, will really be powerless!"
Wang Gui was already convinced in his heart, but he just felt uncomfortable in his chest. Hearing these words, he suppressed the sourness in his nose and agreed to Yue Fei's request, promising to help him control the army and immediately cross the river to the south before the Jin army completely moved south.
Since Wang Gui had left the tent, Yue Pengju sat alone in the tent. He just mechanically picked up the bowl and put a mouthful of rice into his mouth. The young general was just like Wang Gui. He felt a sore nose and tears came out, but he quickly wiped them away and raised his head to hold them back.
The mountain wind howled at night. For some reason, Yue Fei, who could no longer remember what his son looked like, suddenly thought of the words Wang Yan had said to him during the day... The sun is shining! The sun is shining!
But how difficult is it?!
PS: I was hurt by yesterday's chapter. For the sake of yesterday's long chapter, please forgive me and let me adjust it on Friday night. There will be no update in the evening. I hope you guys will forgive me.
By the way, I recommend a book - "The Path of the Great Song Dynasty", a new book by a big boss of the same period, a new book of the same period in history... 40,000 words recommended to 160,000... If you think this one is too young, you can try it.
