Chapter 857 - 69: The Heart of Yue Fei, Game of Power

"Please, young master, don’t intervene!"

After leaving this message, Yue Fei made his promise to the court.

He vowed to achieve a great victory!

If he failed, he was willing to die to atone, which successfully stopped countless impeachments.

Regarding Yue Fei’s actions.

Gu Hui didn’t say much.

Including Gu Yi, none were surprised.

The Gu Clan indeed brought significant changes, but it wouldn’t completely change someone’s character.

In the original history —

Yue Fei, in such a position, was willing to follow orders to retreat, showing his character clearly.

He is someone who upholds his beliefs.

Gu Hui’s actions indeed saved him from numerous troubles.

But he wasn’t accustomed.

He wanted to overcome it all by himself!

This time included!

If he changed, then he wouldn’t be called Yue Fei, wouldn’t it be peculiar?

And after large-scale reorganization, Yue Fei embarked on his campaign again.

—— His military skills were indeed formidable.

Even speaking of his abilities, he absolutely surpassed the top of the era.

Successive battles, all were complete victories.

—— Almost in an instant, he completely reversed the entire Northern Border’s situation, turning the Great Song from defense to offense!

Though he couldn’t solve the Jurchen and Liaodong within a short period.

But it was a rare great victory!

Dispatches of triumph were continuously sent back to Yingtian Prefecture.

But the whole Great Song’s situation didn’t improve because of this.

Don’t forget, Great Song’s problems aren’t just in the Northern Border.

Especially due to the Gu Clan’s hidden world.

This made the current Great Song shaky, those pushed to extremes in all directions were rising, trying to carve a path for survival!

Yet, only those with keen insight could notice.

At least in Yingtian Prefecture, they were immensely excited about the repeated victories.

Yingtian Prefecture.

Inside Chuigong Hall.

Zhao Gou, dressed in dragon robes, looked at the dispatches of triumph from the Northern Border, the gloom of the past days was swept away, he couldn’t help but clap his hands and laugh: "Good!"

"A fine Yue Pengju!"

"Truly a loyal general of mine, a cornerstone of the nation!"

His face beamed with a satisfied expression, as if these successive victories weren’t due to the frontline soldiers’ bloody battles and the strategies of Yue Fei and others, but entirely his own wise leadership as the Emperor.

Chancellor Qin Hui, standing by, slightly hunched, timely pasted a flattering smile and responded: "The Imperial Family is wise!"

"If not for the Imperial Family laboriously arguing against opposition, elevating Yue Fei from the ranks, granting him authority, how could there be such victories? It rightly highlights the Imperial Family’s ability to recognize and appoint talent, the Celestial Mandate!"

This flattery made Zhao Gou feel exceedingly pleased, he stroked his short beard, his smile even brighter.

However, Qin Hui seamlessly shifted the topic, lowering his voice with a hint of appropriate concern: "Only... this Yue Fei, his use of troops is indeed too fierce."

"Continuous victories, like breaking through bamboos, certainly pleasing."

"However, as the saying goes: ’Sharp edges tend to break.’"}

"His reckless offensives, though gaining in the short term, may provoke the Jin People and Liaodong tribes in desperation to counterattack fiercely, which would not be benefitting the border."

He didn’t reveal the slightest trace.

He was actually extremely dissatisfied with Yue Fei.

As for the reason, it was also quite simple; Yue Fei offended too many people.

And as the current Chancellor, he could not avoid this.

This made his aversion towards Fei quite substantial.

He had never met Yue Fei, yet he already felt much repulsion.

The game of power is just that simple.

Even having never met Yue Fei, he must do something.

After all, at his standing, he must consider everything, planning ahead. ...
