Chapter 262 Parting
Chapter 262 Parting
Yue Fei did not read the book immediately, but instead focused his attention on the military supplies on the horse.
His eyes revealed curiosity and scrutiny, as if he was assessing the value and use of these military supplies.
"These bows, crossbows and fire sticks should be given to me!"
There was a hint of anticipation in his voice.
Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and others burst into laughter.
The atmosphere among the crowd also eased from the tension and tragedy with the laughter.
The originally solemn atmosphere instantly became relaxed and cheerful.
Cheng Yaojin approached and put his arm around Yue Fei's shoulders: "Come on, let me introduce you."
His movements were rough and enthusiastic, as if he and Yue Fei were old friends for many years.
Yue Fei looked at the sturdy man who was hugging his shoulders and said, "Excuse me, General, is this General Cheng Yaojin?" There was a hint of respect in his eyes, and he was full of curiosity about this legendary general.
Cheng Yaojin chuckled and said, "That's right, I am right. Tell me, how do the history books describe me?"
There was an expression of anticipation on his face, eager to hear from Yue Fei about his image in history.
"Well..." Yue Fei pondered for a moment, thinking about how to answer Cheng Yaojin's question.
"Okay, your records in history books are okay, so hurry up and introduce the use of firearms to others." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Li Shimin also said: "If you want to leave your name in history, read more books in the future. I will ask the historian to speak well of you."
Cheng Yaojin was speechless and had to lead Yue Fei to introduce firearms, including the use of compound bows and crossbows and the formula of gunpowder.
After a detailed introduction, Yue Fei had a deeper understanding of the mysterious and powerful firearms.
He stared at those peculiarly shaped firearms, his eyes revealing curiosity and thought, and he secretly estimated the great role these new weapons might play on the battlefield.
Li Chengqian was well aware of Yue Fei's talent and prestige. In order to let Yue Fei and his fellow villagers better understand the power of firearms, he specially arranged for them to conduct experiments in the field.
So, a group of people came to the vast wilderness.
The roar of flintlock rifles and small cannons broke the tranquility of the wilderness, and gunpowder smoke filled the air, as if heralding the arrival of a new era of war.
They concentrated on operating the firearms, feeling their powerful force, and constantly exploring the best way to use them.
The experiment continued until the Song army that Li Chengqian had just gathered arrived in a hurry.
Now, Yue Fei finally had a basic force of a certain scale.
Yue Fei quickly won over these people with his absolute personal charm.
His determined eyes, calm temperament and outstanding leadership skills convinced the soldiers, and they expressed their willingness to follow Yue Fei.
After obtaining Li Chengqian's permission, Yue Fei began to distribute weapons in an orderly manner and arm his team.
He knew very well that only with a strong armed force could one be invincible in the brutal war.
At this time, there were only ten hours left of the three-day travel time.
Li Chengqian explained everything he needed to say about Yue Fei.
Li Chengqian knew very well that he could not influence Yue Fei's subsequent life trajectory too much.
After all, Yue Fei was still very young at this time, and he had a long way to go in the future. He needed to learn and comprehend a lot of valuable experience and knowledge through personal practice.
If too much knowledge is instilled into him too early, it may very likely have the opposite effect.
All he had to do was to explain to the other party in detail how to maintain the firearms and how to produce ammunition, and he would have successfully completed the mission he had come here for.
There is still a lot of time, and in order to further improve his physical fitness, Li Chengqian decided to use all his strength to kill the Jin soldiers in the remaining time.
All good things must come to an end, and now, the time of separation has finally arrived.
Yue Fei's eyes revealed reluctance and determination, and Li Chengqian's heart was full of emotion and expectations.
"Okay, now that everything has been explained, it's up to General Yue to decide how to proceed in the future."
Li Chengqian's words were filled with expectation and trust.
Upon hearing this, Yue Fei bowed his hands solemnly, his expression solemn, and said in a loud voice: "I will definitely remember your Highness and everyone's admonitions, and put the people of the world first. I also hope that everyone will create greater glory in the Tang Dynasty!"
That firm tone seemed like a solemn oath.
Li Chengqian was slightly surprised and asked, "Have you thought of anything?"
Yue Fei nodded, his eyes gleaming with wisdom, "I think you all should have some special abilities that allow you to travel freely through different historical times and spaces!
Moreover, you all know so much about the history of later generations, you must have been to the time and space after the Song Dynasty.
I will not ask too many questions. Since you all know the historical context of later generations, you must be very clear about the regrets in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
I ask you all to continue the glory of the Tang Dynasty!"
As he spoke, Yue Fei bent down deeply and bowed respectfully, his posture full of concern and expectation for the future of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin strode forward, lifted Yue Fei up with both hands, and said with great authority: "Don't worry, with me here, those regrets in history will never happen again.
Your mission is to prevent the Song Dynasty from experiencing such regrets, General Yue, let us work together!"
Yue Fei bowed again and said in a loud voice: "Let us encourage each other!"
Those firm words echoed in the air, as if two burning hearts were colliding.
There is not so much sadness between men, there is only respect for each other and firm belief in the future.
They know that each of them has an important mission and will work hard for the people of the world in different time and space.
Li Chengqian and his party mounted their war horses and left. The sound of horse hooves rang out on this ancient land and gradually faded away.
It’s a pity that the extra war horses cannot be kept and will automatically return to the Tang Dynasty when the time comes.
Yue Fei and others stood quietly where they were, their eyes closely following the direction they left.
His eyes were deep and complex, filled with admiration, blessings, and longing for the future.
They just stood there without saying a word for a long time, as if time had stopped at that moment.
"Jin people, Mongolians, just wait for me..."
On the other side, Li Chengqian and others resolutely mounted their war horses, galloped all the way north, and headed firmly towards the occupied area in the north.
Along the way, they continued to encounter many displaced refugees.
These people were left homeless because their homes were ruthlessly destroyed by the Jin people.
They were ragged, their faces were haggard, and their eyes were full of despair and helplessness.
Li Chengqian looked at these poor people with a heart full of pity, but he also knew that he could not take care of them.
He could only patiently guide them to the south, telling them that they could go to Yue Fei, or to the imperial court, where perhaps they could find a glimmer of hope for survival.
Li Chengqian really had no control over the final fate of these people.
All he could do was to kill as many Jin people as possible...
