August 20th.
The Yue Family Army entered Lin An City.
These ten days, the scouts sent by Yue Fei kept sending news to Lin An.
Everyone in Lin 'an knew that Yue Fei had recovered Bianliang.
For a time, Lin An was divided into two factions. One faction was the leader and the other was the leader. They strongly requested Zhao Gou to punish Yue Fei because Yue Fei had broken their fantasy.
The other faction was the war faction. They happily asked Zhao Gou to go out of the city to welcome Yue Fei because Yue Fei had recovered the country and had contributed greatly!
Inside Duancheng Hall.
Zhao Gou looked at the battle report in front of him, then looked at the Yue Family Army soldiers in front of him and said,"Have you really recovered Bianliang and captured the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Wu?”
The Yue Family Army soldier said firmly,""Yes!"
"Then is Bianliang still under the control of Great Song?”
Zhao Gou asked with a frown. After all, conquering a city didn't mean that it was recovered.
"Commander Yue has arranged for General Zhang Xian to be stationed there!”
The Yue Family Army soldiers 'words revealed their affirmation!
"Guan family!"
"This subject believes that since Marshal Yue has made such a great contribution, we should go out of the city to welcome him!”
Han Shizhong, the senior member of the War Faction, stepped forward and said excitedly!
He was still regretting Zhao Gou's order to sue for peace, but he did not expect Yue Fei to actually withstand the pressure and take Bianliang in one fell swoop.
Although Yue Fei's actions were suspected of disobeying orders, as a soldier, he knew that there was a reason why military orders were not obeyed.
"Privy Minister Han, you're wrong!"
At this moment, He Zhu walked out from the civil officials and said,""The Emperor had already ordered Yue Fei to withdraw his troops, but not only did he not withdraw, he even insisted on attacking Bianliang! This is defying the imperial edict!"
"He Su!"
Han Shizhong shouted angrily,"Is it also wrong to reclaim the country in He Zhongcheng's eyes?!"”
How could He Su dare to accept such a big hat? He quickly waved his hand and said,"I don't think so, I'm just stating the facts. It's a fact that Yue Fei resisted the decree! Privy Han, don't spout nonsense!"
"Then tell me, did Yue Fei take Bianliang?”
Another soldier of the pro-war faction stepped forward to support Han Shizhong and shouted at He Su!
"It's also a fact that you resisted the imperial edict!"
After seeing the people from the war faction step out, another civil official also walked out and looked at the soldier with disdain.
At this moment, the Yue Family Army soldiers did not say anything. They only stared at the quarreling officials and remembered the faces and names of the two sides.
When he set off, Yue Fei had already told him to record down all those who spoke ill of the Yue Family Army.
When he arrived at Lin 'an, he would settle the score!
"Alright, stop arguing!"
"Prime Minister!"
Zhao Gou looked down at the chaotic and noisy ministers below with a headache. He lowered his head to look at the quiet Qin Hui standing at the head of the civil servants and said,"I don't know if you think I need to go out of the city to welcome Yue Fei!”
Qin Hui, who was below, was also conflicted. He knew that Zhao Gou actually did not want to welcome Yue Fei.
However, he also understood that if Yue Fei made such a huge contribution and Zhao Gou did not go to welcome him, it would lose the image of Emperor Zhao Gou.
Recovering lost territory was a great merit no matter when it was, not to mention that Yue Fei had brought back such an important captive like Wanyan Wu.
"Official, although Yue Fei disobeyed the king's orders first, he also helped our Great Song recover its territory. This is a great merit!”
"As for welcoming him, I think we should welcome him as well. However, we can just stand at the city gate and wait for Yue Fei. There's no need to go out of the city to welcome him!!”
Qin Hui rolled his eyes and thought of a way to say respectfully.
Standing at the city gate to welcome the emperor showed the emperor's high and mighty status, and could also convince the war faction and the people.
After all, Zhao Gou had gone to welcome them!
"Good! Let's follow the Prime Minister's plan!"
Zhao Gou looked at Qin Hui approvingly, then turned to the Yue Family Army and said,""I wonder how far Yue Fei is from Lin 'an.”
"Your Highness!"
When the Yue Family Army soldiers knew that they were going to welcome their marshal, they were also very excited."Marshal Yue, calculating the time and distance, I estimate that you will reach Lin An one day!”
"Prime Minister!"
"You heard it. I'll leave this matter to you to arrange. Tomorrow, we'll open the city gates to welcome our Great Song's Commander Yue!”Since the matter had been confirmed, Zhao Gou did not delay any longer and immediately made arrangements.
"Yes!"
Qin Hui respectfully agreed.
After the court session.
All the people in Lin 'an City knew the specific process of the matter. They knew that Yue Fei had recovered Bianliang and that Yue Fei would come to Lin' an with Wanyan Wu tomorrow.
Everyone was extremely happy. It had to be known that this was the most exalted moment in China in decades.
The next day.
Zhao Gou and the other ministers stood on the city gate and looked into the distance.
Outside the city gate, there were many commoners in Lin An City.
These commoners had spontaneously organized themselves to welcome Yue Fei.
"Humph!"
He Su looked at the commoners below and said coldly,""These commoners don't care about their livelihood and only know how to watch the show. They really don't know what's good for them!”
"He Zhongcheng!"
Han Shizhong immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.""Doesn't this represent the people's eagerness to recover their land? Wasn't He Zhongcheng happy to recover his territory?”
"This…"
"What are you talking about? Why would I feel unhappy?"
He Su quickly explained.
However, before he could finish speaking, dust and smoke rose in the distance. Immediately after, an incomparably huge Yue Flag appeared in front of everyone!
Even though they had seen the Yue Family's army many times, everyone present could not help but be shocked.
Their uniform pace made it obvious that this was an iron army that could not be defeated!
The moment he saw the Yue Family Army, Zhao Gou couldn't help but feel dazzled. He felt like he saw a ferocious tiger pouncing towards him.
...........
"Marshal Yue!"
Xu Qing pointed at Lin An in the distance and said cheerfully,"I didn't expect that old emperor to personally welcome us!”
Yue Fei also looked sideways. He was actually already prepared to be treated coldly.
However, on second thought, this was after all a heaven-defying feat of regaining territory. If Zhao Gou did not come out of the city to welcome him, it would be difficult to shut the mouths of the world!
