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

As the first light of dawn appeared in the east.

The fire in the Jin camp had been extinguished, and the shouts of battle in Bianjing City gradually subsided.

But this does not mean the end of the battle.

On the contrary, this battle has only just begun.

It was merely the prelude to the Song army's counterattack!

In Bianjing, only a small number of Jurchens remained, stubbornly resisting.

Yue Fei was so tired of spending too much energy dealing with those people that he didn't even bother to do it anymore.

Now, what's more important to him is how to completely annihilate the Jin soldiers in the Jin camp!

With Bianjing already in his grasp, he can now set his sights further ahead, such as leaving the entire Jurchen army in the Song Dynasty and then launching a counterattack on the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun!

"Report on the battle situation in the city and the casualties of our brothers."

Standing atop the outer city wall, Yue Fei needed to first ascertain how much fighting strength his side still possessed.

"There are no more Jin soldiers in the outer city, and the final clearing is underway in the inner city. Bianjing has fallen into our hands, but our army has suffered heavy casualties. Apart from the wounded brothers, there are probably only about three thousand men who can still participate in the battle."

These data were only recently compiled.

There might be some discrepancies, but they shouldn't be too far off.

More than three thousand people.

Yue Fei sighed deeply.

He still had five or six arrows stuck in his body.

After recapturing Bianjing, they slaughtered almost all the Jurchens in the city.

Logically speaking, after making such a great contribution, he should be able to rest and recuperate.

He knew that if he made such a decision, His Majesty the Great Ancestor would certainly not blame him.

But he also knew that he couldn't calm down and focus on recovering from his injury.

As long as the Jurchens are not destroyed and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun are not recovered, he will never be able to stop his advance!

"Clear out the remaining enemies in the city as soon as possible. I will be waiting for you outside the city gate in an hour."

"I am going to cut off the last lifeline of the Jurchens. This journey will be fraught with peril, but I will not force anyone. Those who are willing to follow me may come, and those who are not may stay and guard Bianjing."

Yue Fei drew his sword and cut off the arrows in his body one by one.

It's not time to pull out the arrow and bandage it yet.

He can't stop!

"As ordered!"

"General Yue, see you in an hour!"

Beyond the sky.

Countless people were moved to tears upon seeing Yue Fei's choice.

He has clearly performed a great service!

With only 10,000 men, they recaptured Bianjing by taking advantage of favorable timing and location!

As long as he can hold Bianjing for the next period of time, he will be one of the greatest contributors!

But he never seemed to think about himself.

All he ever thought about was how to live up to the people's expectations and how to rescue more people from the Jurchens.

How can we reclaim more of our lost territories?

"The Song Dynasty is unworthy of such an outstanding general! Why wasn't Yue Fei born in our Han Dynasty? Only the Han Dynasty could have allowed him to fully display his abilities!"

Liu Che couldn't help but complain.

"Our Great Ming Dynasty is no less so! The emperor guards the nation's gates, and the monarch dies for the country. We will never let him suffer the slightest injustice!"

Zhu Di was not to be outdone.

If he had such a general by his side, he could send troops deep into the grasslands. With the two of them working together, they would definitely be able to wipe out many tribes!

"My Great Tang is not bad either, with all nations coming to pay tribute. If General Yue could have been born in my Great Tang, he could have directly conquered any country that hadn't come to pay homage to me. Wouldn't that have been a wonderful thing?"

Yue Fei's military leadership was secondary; what Li Er liked most were those four words.

Serve the country with utmost loyalty!

He was not afraid that his generals would become too powerful, so he would not lack generals.

But he prefers loyal and devoted officials!

"Didn't you ever consider the possibility that Yue Fei might die outside the city?"

"His injuries are not light, and the Jurchens are not made of clay. After Zhao Kuangyin's raid on the camp last night, they have already regrouped on the plain. It's already dawn, and the opportune moment is gone!"

Some people couldn't help but pour cold water on the idea at this time.

Liu Hong?

Upon seeing the names displayed in the comments, Liu Bang couldn't help but frown.

He had a bad feeling.

Anyone who would throw cold water on things at this moment is probably not thinking straight!

These two reviews have been enough of making a fool of Zhao Kuangyin. I wonder if his Han Dynasty will become a laughing stock next?

He could accept the change of dynasties, but he could never accept a pathetic end like that of the Song Dynasty!

"Hey you, Liu Hong, give me a heads-up. You haven't done anything outrageous, have you?"

Liu Bang's mind was no longer on the images on the sky; this premonition made him somewhat absent-minded.

"Rest assured, Emperor Taizu Gao, the Han Dynasty is in my hands and as stable as Mount Tai. I have a large number of loyal ministers and generals by my side, and the country is incredibly powerful!"

Liu Hong glanced at the people around him.

That's right, that's the truth!

As for popular uprisings?

Those were all ungrateful and unruly people, and he easily suppressed them all.

There won't be any problems at all!

"That's good. It's best not to let me know what ridiculous things you've done. I can accept the fall of the Han Dynasty, but I absolutely do not want to lose face like Zhao Kuangyin!"

Liu Bang nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze back to the image on the sky.

Yue Fei waited quietly outside the city gate for a full hour.

The time has come, and he is still only accompanied by the scout who went down to inform him earlier.

Yue Fei turned to look at him.

"Did you relay my words truthfully?"

"We dare not conceal anything in the slightest!"

The man nodded.

"In that case, you should go back too. I will go alone."

Yue Fei nodded without the slightest doubt.

Even if he were alone on horseback, he would not obediently wait in Bianjing.

"General Yue, why not wait a little longer? Perhaps they are just delayed by something."

The scout quickly replied.

At the same time, he looked anxiously into the city.

When he went to inform them, everyone said they would definitely come.

How come an hour has passed and we haven't seen a single human hair?

"No need to wait any longer. One hour is one hour, not a minute more. Military orders are absolute!"

"Go back. Those of you who stay behind, your mission is to guard Bianjing and not lose it again."

Yue Fei smiled.

He didn't want to make things difficult for anyone.

No one is obligated to continue going to their death with him.

Those who survived the recapture of Bianjing deserve immense credit, and they are fully entitled to await their rewards after the war ends.

What remained was Yue Fei's own obsession. He was not the true leader of these people, so naturally he should not force anyone to continue following him.

"General Yue, I will not go back. No matter where you go or what you do, I will follow you!"

Despite being just a spy, his tone was extremely firm.

“In previous years, I thought that the Song people were inferior to the Jin people and could not defeat them. It was only after General Yue came that I dared to look up at the Jin people.”

"I just realized that the Jurchens didn't have two extra heads either; they would die just the same if they were slashed with a knife."

"I don't know what others think, General Yue, but at least I am willing to follow you!"

"Follow General Yue!"

Just as he was expressing his determination, a chorus of roars suddenly erupted from behind the city gate.

"I will follow General Yue, even unto death!"

Yue Fei suddenly turned around.

No wonder I didn't see them earlier; those blood-soaked figures were quietly waiting behind the city gate.

It was as if they had planned it beforehand; no one had spoken up beforehand.

He was both annoyed and touched.

"This trip out of the city is very dangerous, almost a matter of life and death. Do you really want to come with me? What if we don't come back?"

"It will never come back!"
