Chapter 1391 Cannot Be Crowned a King
"Brother, Brother Qin Ming has already set up the camp!"
Xu Ning and Ren Yuan reported that, for this expedition, except for those who were not in Bianjing or needed to be stationed there, almost everyone who could move had come.
After all, everyone knows that this is the decisive battle that will determine the fate of the nation!
If we win, a dynasty will be born, the elder brother will ascend the throne, and everyone's status will naturally rise accordingly!
Therefore, the entire Dayi army was determined to win this battle!
Even Xu Ning, who is not usually very proactive, has actively expressed his willingness to participate this time.
"Brother Qin Ming has truly shown our prowess this time, wiping out three of the enemy's vanguards in a single battle. This achievement deserves a reward!"
Ren Yuan had already learned from the previous military report that Qin Ming had wiped out the three Xue Lihua brothers in one battle. He said that Qin Ming did a great job!
"Brother, Pengju's side is doing great too. The Beiwei Army has successfully captured the outpost, and now there is no danger behind our army."
"Send someone to replace him, and transfer the Beiwei Army over. I need him on the front lines this time."
After thinking for a moment, Ren Yuan said to Xu Ning.
"Yes."
Xu Ning clasped his hands in a fist salute. He knew that Ren Yuan would definitely make Yue Fei shine in this great battle, which could be considered as a senior brother taking care of his junior brother.
"Junior brother, should we call our junior brother over?"
Lin Chong has returned now. He just inspected the entire camp and found nothing wrong. Qin Ming did a great job!
"That's right, senior brother, this time the four of us brothers will go together!"
This time, Zhou Tong stayed behind to guard Bianjing, Bian Xiang was in charge of patrolling the eastern coast, Du Xue was fighting in the south, and Guan Sheng was guarding the west. They would not be able to return for the time being.
However, none of the four—Sun An of Beiye, Lu Junyi, the best in the world, Lin Chong of the Imperial Guard, and Lu Zhishen of the Vajra—were absent!
Moreover, during these three years, another fierce general in Dayi also rose to the top, namely the commander of the Tiger-Taming Legion, the Drunken Tiger-Taming Wu Song!
Including Ren Yuan himself, Dayi brought a total of six top generals this time! In terms of individual martial prowess, they completely overwhelmed the Jin Kingdom!
However, because the number of people involved in this battle was too large, with both sides totaling nearly a million, individual combat strength seemed somewhat insufficient in the face of such a large number of people.
Even if someone is capable of defeating ten thousand men, they are nothing in front of hundreds of thousands.
"Junior brother, I really miss him too."
Lin Chong hadn't seen Yue Fei for three years. Hearing about Yue Fei's achievements these days, he, as the senior brother, was becoming more and more satisfied with his junior brother.
"You know, the little guy who followed me around back then is now a general who can stand on his own!"
Ren Yuan felt very proud. That was Yue Fei, and a Yue Fei who had no worries and could fully display his talents. Ren Yuan was very much looking forward to seeing how much he could achieve.
"By the way, junior brother, there's something I need to tell you privately."
Lin Chong gave Xu Ning an apologetic look.
"Oh, well, I'll go get someone to call Pengju back, you guys can chat."
Xu Ning was very meticulous. He took the initiative to leave, leaving the main tent to Ren Yuan and Lin Chong.
"Senior brother, what's wrong? Brother Xu Ning isn't an outsider either."
Ren Yuan looked at his senior brother and asked with a smile.
"Junior brother, after this battle, you will definitely become emperor. There are some things I want to tell you in advance."
Lin Chong's expression was somewhat serious.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother?"
After hearing this, Ren Yuan's expression became more serious.
"Junior brother, we will surely win this battle! After we win, you will definitely establish a kingdom and reward all our brothers."
There was a hint of worry on Lin Chong's face.
“Junior brother, you are a good person and want all the brothers to prosper together, which is fine in itself. But with so many brothers, the rewards will inevitably vary. Inevitably, comparisons will arise between those who receive higher rewards and those who receive lower rewards. Perhaps it won't be a problem at first, but over time…”
"Senior brother, Pei Xuan is watching over the credit. With him around, what can anyone else say?"
After hearing Lin Chong's worries, Ren Yuan smiled and comforted him.
So that's what you were worried about, senior brother. There's nothing to worry about!
“Junior brother, this is different now. The allure of the merit of founding the country is far greater than before, so I have a request.”
Lin Chong waved his hand. He knew Pei Xuan was fair, but this time the founding rewards were different in nature from those before.
"This time, when the nation is being established and rewards are being bestowed, Junior Brother, you cannot make any of your brothers kings, not even one! If you absolutely must make kings, then you can only make one for Master!"
"Senior brother, you..."
Upon hearing this, Ren Yuan was startled. "Senior brother, how did you know I was going to be made a king?"
"How could I not know? Junior brother, you have always been kind and generous. You would definitely reward me for any merit, and as for me..."
Lin Chong pointed to himself and smiled helplessly.
"Given my friendship with my junior brother, he's probably already thinking about making me a king. If I'm a king, then my second junior brother will definitely be one too. Although my youngest junior brother hasn't made many contributions, given how much you value him, he'll surely be a king in the future!"
"If we calculate it this way in our sect, with four kings in one sect, what will the other brothers think? It's not about having too few kings, it's about the inequality!"
"So, junior brother, at most, you can only bestow the title of king upon our master, because no one will object to bestowing such a title upon our master."
Lin Chong's words were truly heartfelt; he genuinely cared about Ren Yuan and feared that Ren Yuan might be put in a difficult position in this matter in the future, so he took the initiative to suggest not bestowing the title of king upon him.
"Senior brother..."
Looking at Lin Chong's sincere gaze and worried expression, Ren Yuan was at a loss for words.
“Senior brother, ever since you came up the mountain with me back then, you have almost never missed a battle, big or small, and you have always been by my side. Xuejian and Jingtian are already engaged. If I don’t make you a king, I can’t justify it to Pei Xuan!”
"Precisely because Xuejian and Jingtian are already engaged, I am even less able to be granted the title of king."
Lin Chong said that he could not become such a powerful maternal relative, otherwise there would definitely be problems in the future!
"Alright, alright, senior brother, let's not talk about this for now. We'll discuss it with Pei Xuan when we get back, okay?"
Ren Yuan looked at Lin Chong with the same sincerity.
"I said back then, you are my senior brother, my senior brother for life. If we say those sentimental things to each other, it will make us feel distant!"
"Senior brother, protect your junior brother one more time. Let's win this battle first, and we can talk about the rest when we get back!"
"……Yes!"
Ren Yuan's attitude brought tears to Lin Chong's eyes. He felt that one of the three luckiest things in his life was having such a good junior brother as Ren Yuan!
"Don't worry, junior brother, we will definitely win this battle!"
"Even if I'm shattered to pieces, I'll drag these Jin people down with me!"
"Senior brother!"
Ren Yuan interrupted Lin Chong's prediction.
"Let's not talk about such unlucky things. We will win this battle, and we will win it beautifully!"
"When we return in triumph, I will need you by my side, senior brother, to enter the city with me!"
