"Wulang, uncle was confused for a moment!" After such a long time, Yao Wang had already calmed down. When he saw Yue Fei coming, if Wang Gui and others hadn't held him down, he would have immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy without any etiquette. "Please let uncle go this time, let him go back to Jeju City and be a coachman for your mother, and don't join the army to think about wealth and honor..."
"Uncle is really confused." Yue Fei narrowed his eyes and looked at his uncle, slowly facing him. "If you had said earlier that you wanted to join the army for wealth and honor, how could I let you join the army? But uncle insisted on saying 'for a while', but I, Wu Lang, cannot believe it... Your behavior today, isn't it because I punished you in public last time, dismissed you from your post, and then you are still brooding over it? Your behavior today, isn't it because you got the idea from Xu Qing's story, thinking of killing me and then taking advantage of the chaos to push the blame on Hu Cheng, causing a large army to fight, and then taking advantage of the situation to support Yue Yun or Liu Lang (Yue translation) with my uncle's identity, or even taking advantage of the situation to establish your own regime?"
Yao Wang opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know how to refute. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and say, "I have done something stupid. How are you going to deal with me, Wu Lang?"
"From your perspective as a soldier, today you are a subordinate assassinating the commander; from your perspective as an uncle, you want to kill your nephew and steal his inheritance; from your perspective as a Song person, you are a complete Song traitor for ignoring the presence of the Jin army and provoking a fight between the two allied armies..."
"I just wanted to vent my anger!" Yao Wang was so serious that he immediately tried to explain. "I don't have such evil intentions! Think about it, when other people become generals, the army is their own private property, and the soldiers can build houses for their families and do business! When they become pacification envoys or military governors, they all regard the entire military state as their private property. Why is it different for you, Wulang? Gold, silver, money, silk, and food flowed through your hands like water, but they all went into the army. Your mother doesn't even have a few servants to serve her! I..."
"No need to say more." Yue Fei stood there and listened quietly for a few words at first, but he became impatient after listening to them. "The country is in such a crisis. Thousands of Hebei people died. Zhang Zizheng in Nanjing died for his country. Even Xin Daozong, a nobleman, did not lose his dignity. You came from Hebei and saw those tragic things with your own eyes, but you only say these things here? It's my fault. I should have explained the rules of our army to you at the beginning... Wang Gui, Fu Xuan, you two commanders, hold down his hands!"
Wang Gui was already holding Yao Wang, and he instinctively pressed forward when he heard the words. Fu Xuan, who had been dodging, also instinctively stepped forward to replace Tang Huai when he heard the words. However, when both of them were halfway through their actions, they both looked up in dismay.
"I'll take care of it for you, brother!" Zhang Xian, who had just finished bandaging the wound, jumped up and stepped forward with his saber. "Brother, don't ruin your reputation!"
Tang Huai said nothing, but looked up in surprise.
"Brother." Wang Gui also held Yao Wang down, and with sweat on his forehead, he raised his head to persuade him. "Yao Wang is absolutely worthy of death for his crime today, but you don't need to do it yourself and take on such a bad reputation!"
"What reputation? How can it be wrong? If it is wrong, the emperor should not have killed Liu Guangshi personally. But if the emperor did not kill Liu Guangshi personally, the Song Dynasty would have perished last year!" Yue Fei pushed Zhang Xian away and pulled out the knife from the other's waist that he had not had time to pull out on the bridge. Then he went around behind his uncle and stared at Fu Xuan and Tang Huai.
Fu Xuan and Tang Huai were both helpless and could only bite the bullet and change positions. The former then exerted his strength to hold down Yao Wang.
"Wu Lang, you dare to kill me?" Until this moment, Yao Wang still couldn't believe it. "How can you and your mother..."
Then, before he could finish his words, Yue Fei did not hesitate and stabbed his own uncle's neck with one blow in front of the two armies.
The two armies were in commotion across the river, but after a moment, as Yue Fei turned over, picked up his sword and mounted his horse, the Yue Army on the north bank of the Henggou suddenly became solemn, and thousands of soldiers lost their voices, which in turn affected the Hu Cheng Yizhou troops on the other side of the river.
As for Wang Gui, Fu Xuan and others who were present, they were completely terrified and out of control.
"Today's incident was said to be a sneak attack by my uncle, but in fact, the root cause was his unauthorized looting that day." Yue Fei looked at the soldiers in front of him, raised his bloody knife and spoke loudly. "In order to prevent any of you from misunderstanding and making the same mistake again, I will tell you again in public today... I, Yue Fei, have joined the army four times. The first time was to make a living! The second time I joined the army to make a living, I also wanted to get promoted and gain fame! But from the third time on, I experienced the Battle of Taiyuan and saw with my own eyes that the entire Hebei and Hedong regions fell, and the Jin people killed and looted without limit, slaughtered cities and plundered at will. From then on, I wanted to drive out the Jin dogs and restore the two rivers with all my heart! I no longer have the idea of getting promoted and making money! As for you, as for you, if you want to get promoted and make money, go somewhere else, just don't join my Yue Fei's army!!"
Yue Peng's last words were just like thunder echoing the whistling autumn wind.
Not only was the entire army horrified when they heard this, even Hu Cheng and Li Zhang, who were looking around curiously on the bridge, looked at each other in shock when they heard these words. In addition to their previous good impressions, they were also filled with awe.
After Yue Fei finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Xian beside him and pointed his sword at him: "Come here!"
Zhang Xian hurriedly dragged his bandaged arm forward, ready to take the knife, but Yue Fei was in no hurry to give it to him. Instead, he immediately responded with a serious look: "There must be a reward if there is a punishment... Last time you stopped this man from robbing the people, and this time you saved my life and prevented a disaster. I will promote you to be the commander of the front army!"
"Yes..." Zhang Xian responded quickly and took the knife.
"There is one more thing." Yue Pengju looked at his younger brother and continued, but lowered his voice. "I thought you were the youngest and the most ignorant among us brothers, but recently I see that you have shown a tendency to become a great man... As a pacifier, I will naturally promote you, but as an elder brother, I cannot help but show my appreciation... I will change your name based on this incident!"
