The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"Answer me, are the knives in your hands just for show?!"

When Yue Fei said this, many people were filled with righteous indignation.

The knives in their hands were certainly not just for show.

But would the imperial court really allow them to draw their swords?

In the past, whenever the Jurchens attacked and seized territory, they would obediently move their defensive lines back step by step.

The defensive line was moved back, followed immediately by the dispatch of envoys to sue for peace.

During this period, the Jurchens would occasionally send envoys to the Song army camp, ostensibly for communication purposes, but in reality to monitor the Song army's movements.

Even knowing their purpose, the generals in the camp obediently treated them as honored guests.

It's as if the Jurchens, upon their arrival, were automatically the rightful masters.

No matter what their original status was in the Jin Kingdom, once they came to the Song Dynasty, they became the elite!

It wasn't that no one resisted in the past, but the result of resisting was that they were executed by their own generals!

Let alone drawing a sword, if you even bare your teeth at the Jurchens and displease their envoys, your head will roll and you'll die in vain, and your whole family might suffer the consequences!

If the Jurchens were to come to the camp to show off their power again, all they could do was surround them and wait for their superiors to deal with them, just like they are now.

At this moment, Yu Yunwen had also arrived.

He stood beside Yue Fei, and as they looked at each other, they both saw a deep sense of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Indeed, this is the current state of the Song army.

"Binfu, is this the state of our army now? It wasn't like this when General Zong was alive, or even when I led the Yue Family Army on the Northern Expedition."

Yue Fei felt completely unfamiliar with the current situation in the military camp.

"Over the years, the Song Dynasty has retreated step by step and weakened step by step, which has dealt a huge blow to morale."

"Without the will to fight or the will to battle, even within the Song Dynasty, the impression that the Jurchens were superior had already taken deep root in everyone's mind."

Yu Yunwen sighed.

He witnessed the decline of the Song Dynasty.

From the moment he crossed the Yangtze River to the north, Marshal Zong Ze was able to launch a northern expedition, and after capturing Kaifeng, he adopted a scorched-earth policy, which left the Jurchens helpless for a time.

Later, Marshal Zong Ze died with resentment, and the strength of the pro-war faction in the Song Dynasty plummeted.

Later, the Song Dynasty rose up again, led by Grand Commandant Yue Fei, who led the Yue Family Army and once shattered the rumors that the Jin people were invincible.

As Yue Fei was unjustly accused and died in prison, countless people witnessed the ultimate fate of those who were loyal to their country.

On the contrary, Qin Hui, who was a member of the surrender faction, was promoted to Grand Tutor and Duke of Wei, enjoying unparalleled prestige for a time. After his death, he was even given the posthumous title of Zhongxian (Loyal and Dedicated).

Do you think they wanted to be like Yue Fei, who fought to the death for his country and died silently in prison, or like Qin Hui, who betrayed the Song Dynasty and could rise to the highest ranks of officialdom simply by flattering the Jin people and the emperor?

Since the deaths of Zong Ze and Yue Fei, and the stripping of military power of Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, and others, the backbone of the Song Dynasty has been broken.

People like Yu Yunwen were already out of place in the court.

"So this is what I'm going to do. From this day forward, everything will change."

Yue Fei's face was stern.

He had always read the immortals' words about the weakness of the Southern Song Dynasty from the text on the sky, but now he was seeing it all directly!

"Generals, obey the order!"

He took a step forward, drawing his sword and raising it high in his right hand.

At his command, hundreds of people turned to look at Yue Fei.

Some people looked confused, while others looked expectant.

Many of them grew up listening to the legends of Yue Fei and his army.

Naturally, they also knew about General Yue's past achievements and his attitude towards the Jurchens!

Sensing the expectation in many people's eyes, Yue Fei slowly began to speak.

"Regardless of your past attitude towards the Jin people, and regardless of the Jin people's status in the past, from this day forward, the Song and Jin are mortal enemies!"

"Those who kill the enemy can exchange enemy heads for military merits, which can be used to obtain any reward you desire, including being ennobled and promoted to high office, rising to the top in one step!"

Everyone who heard those words was stunned.

Including the golden statue surrounded by hundreds of people.

Since they were sent as envoys to the Song Dynasty, they must have been able to understand the Central Plains language.

But now, they would rather not understand it.

What did they just hear?

For a moment, everyone, whether it was the three Jurchen envoys or the more than one hundred Song soldiers, could not believe what they were hearing.

If these words are true, what does that mean?

"What are you waiting for? Do you want to keep listening to their taunts and letting them ride roughshod over you?"

"Draw your swords and prove to me that you are not cowards!"

The next moment, everyone finally realized what was happening.

The three Jin envoys covered their heads and turned to run away.

They came in so arrogantly, and now they're in such a sorry state.

However, the three of them were being watched intently by hundreds of Song soldiers.

In their eyes, the three were no longer honored guests, but rather living, breathing military achievements!

In the past, when facing the officials of the Jin Dynasty, they could only bow and scrape, and did not even dare to look at them more than once.

Now, the adults riding on their heads have become military merits, and they no longer need Yue Fei to teach them how to do things.

The scene that followed was extremely chaotic.

Whether it was Yue Fei or Yu Yunwen, after seeing the first slash, they quietly turned and left.

More and more Song soldiers rushed to the scene, and many even risked their lives to squeeze into the crowd, just to personally cut the Jin soldiers with their own hands.

The Jurchens' tyranny over so many years has finally backfired today!

"The Jurchen envoy arrived at just the right time. Now we have the will to fight and the morale is high."

"Now it's up to you, Binfu. Hold off the Jurchen offensive, and when I return, I will lead you north to reclaim the old capital!"

Before leaving, Yue Fei patted Yu Yunwen on the shoulder.

"As long as we live, we will not allow the Jurchens to advance even a single step south!"

……

"From this perspective, the Song army still has courage; it's just that the leaders are too weak."

"If it is said that an incompetent general can lead to the death of an entire army, then the Southern Song Dynasty was a typical example of an incompetent emperor, which made countless soldiers below him unable to hold their heads high."

Outside the sky, Liu Bang sighed.

If he truly lacked any sense of courage, even if Yue Fei had uttered these words, it would never have generated such a public outcry.

It can only be said that those who are willing to join the army, more or less, come with the desire to protect their country.

"And it wasn't just one emperor, but several generations in a row."

"From Emperors Huizong and Qinzong who were captured in the north, to Zhao Gou who was determined to kneel down, there wasn't a single good emperor among these three generations!"

"Throughout history, only these three emperors have made it onto the list of incompetent rulers!"

Faced with such evaluations from others, Zhao Kuangyin was powerless to refute them, nor did he want to.

He is currently on the march, and he hopes that he and Yue Fei can prove through their actions that the Song Dynasty is by no means worthless!

He wanted to use his actions to put the broken bones of the Song Dynasty back together!
