C115 (1/2)
After around fifteen minutes, Yue Yun brought Jiang Chu to a prefectural yamen, which was temporarily commandeered by the army as the commander camp.
Along the way, Jiang Chu saw many commoners helping Yue Army transport strategic goods. There were also commoners who made way for their houses to be occupied by the soldiers.
However, Yue Army only allowed the injured to be brought into the Hundred Family Residence, while the other soldiers had to set up tents on the streets, so as to not disturb the lives of the commoners.
Jiang Chu secretly nodded his head and thought: No wonder the people respected Prince Yue and he built a temple to pay tribute to them. It seems that he was truly good to the common people.
Arriving at the yamen's office, Jiang Chu saw more than ten generals discussing among themselves. There was one person seated on the most innermost grandteacher's chair. If Jiang Chu did not guess wrongly, it was precisely Yue Fei, Yue Pengju.
Even though he was sitting there, his killing intent was oppressive. Two slanted eyebrows were stuck into his temples. A pair of almond-shaped eyes, an imposing heroic air, a nose that was like a phoenix hanging in the air, and a curved mouth; he truly was a handsome man.
It was just that the Marshal Yue had toiled for his country for more than a decade before charging into the sea of flames at the base of the blade, leading his soldiers to battle day and night to regain their territory. At just over thirty years of age, he had already gone through many hardships and there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Just as Yue Yun wanted to go up and report to him, he was stopped by Jiang Chu, who said softly: General Yue, please wait for a moment. Let the Marshal Yue finish with his work, it's not too late to talk about it later.
Yue Yun looked at Jiang Chu, nodded and said: Jin Wushu that fellow has already gathered all the troops, and will soon attack here. Marshal Yue has already decided, even if it is the last person, he will still want to protect Ying Chang City.
Jiang Chu was also provoked by Yue Yun's words. He said resolutely, ”All reactionaries are paper tigers, no matter how many that come, we will destroy them.”
Yue Yun was stunned when he heard Jiang Chu's words. He asked curiously: I know what paper tiger is, what is a reactionary?
Jiang Chu coughed awkwardly, and said: ”That, is an invader or rebel.”
As the two of them were chatting, the discussion in the hall had already ended. Yue Yun said: Mr. Jiang, please wait for a while, I will go and report to Marshal Yue.
After a while, Yue Fei walked out of the hall, and arrived in front of Jiang Chu after sizing him up for a while, then asked: ”Sir, may I know what are you doing in my army?
Jiang Chu laughed, ”Marshal Yue, I came all the way here from Luan'an, naturally I have something to discuss with you. It's just that this is not the place for me to talk.”
Yue Fei laughed out loud: Since you are here from Lin An, then let's talk inside the hall. Sir, please.
Seeing that Yue Fei was so bold, and did not suspect that he was a spy, Jiang Chu was relieved and thought to himself: The ancients said that experts are brave, it seems like they are not lying. In front of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are useless. In terms of individual strength, Yue Fei was definitely an expert. If a spy dared to enter his army alone, that would be asking for trouble. Therefore, Yue Fei did not care whether that spy was a spy or not.
Yue Fei's personality was straightforward, and he was not one to drag his feet. After entering the hall, Jiang Chu said sternly: Marshal Yue, the reason I sought to see you was to help you repel the enemy.
Hearing Jiang Chu's words, Yue Fei frowned, he thought for a moment and said: ”Mr. Jiang, do you know that our army is facing against a hundred thousand Steel Cavalry?
Jiang Chu smiled and said: ”Everything is within my control. Marshal Yue doesn't need to think too much about it, I can definitely assist you in retreating from the enemy. With that said, he quietly stared at Yue Fei, completely unafraid of his killing intent.
Yue Fei was startled at first, but then laughed out loud: Mr. Jiang, I have fought in the battlefield for more than ten years, and have fought with the gold soldiers a hundred times, I know how powerful the gold soldiers are. The enemy commander, Jin Wushu, is a talented general. This time, he has personally led the great army, with only thirty thousand cavalry and a hundred thousand infantry, my Ying Chang City has a total of thirty thousand soldiers. We do not have any confidence in retreating.
Hearing Yue Fei's words, Jiang Chu could understand that he was just a stranger who came to this place to criticize and make comments, to make people believe him.
Thinking about that, Jiang Chu waved his hand, and a spear floated in the corner in front of him. He said to Yue Fei: ”I can help you build a cavalry unit that is invulnerable to weapons, do you believe me?”
Jiang Chu's action caused Yue Fei to be so shocked that he jumped up from his teacher's chair, while Yue Yun and the other generals were so shocked that their jaws almost fell to the ground.
After being stunned for just a moment, Yue Yun suddenly rushed in front of Yue Fei and shouted angrily at him with the spear in his hand: ”What are you trying to do?!”
Jiang Chu did not reply, with a wave of his hand, the spear directly pierced into the pillar of the court, and the entire tip of the spear disappeared. This move caused everyone in the hall to be dumbstruck, only Yue Fei's eyes lit up.
