As the eldest son of the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Yue Fei, Yue Yun can be said to be a typical example of "tiger father without a dog", he has been talented and intelligent since childhood, especially fond of martial arts, but because he died too early, many people can only speculate about his strength from the "Biography of Yue Quan", so in real history, how is Yue Yun's combat effectiveness?
First of all, the classical novel "Say Yue Quan Biography", in which Yue Yun is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Court Leibu Zhengshen, the first appearance for his father Yue Fei to relieve the siege of Niutou Mountain, a lifetime of merits include killing the first fierce general of the Jin Kingdom, Jin Marbles, two wars and two guns Lu Wenlong, eight hammers to make a big fuss about Zhu Xianzhen, etc., but in the book, his force is not the first in the Yue family army, after all, there are too many fierce people in "Say Yue".
And in real history, during Yue Fei's first Northern Expedition, Yue Yun, who was only 16 years old at the time, was the first to ascend to the city of Suizhou as a pioneer who had been attacking for a long time, and bravely crowned the three armies, here to say, Yue Yun did not make a sledgehammer, he made two eighty-pound iron cone guns, the "General Outline of the Martial Arts" records: The cone gun, its blade is four edges, quite strong, not broken, shaped like a wheat ear, the side people call it a wheat ear gun. (Pictured below)
In the subsequent battle against Dengzhou, Yue Yun was the first to ascend the city and retake Dengzhou, after which the whole army called him "the winner of the official", meaning the general of Changsheng.
In the Battle of Jingxi, holding two iron cones and weighing eighty pounds, the first army ascended the city, captured Dengzhou, and then attacked Suizhou. (The Testament of the Sons of the Golden Tuozhi Compilation)
After that, Yue Yun officially joined the Beifeng Army, and made great contributions in successive battles against Jin and The Suppression of Yang Qi's and Tranquility rear, and in the tenth year of Shaoxing (1140), Jin Wushu invaded the south, and in the Battle of Haocheng, Yue Yun led 8,000 cavalry of the Beifeng Army to repeatedly rush to kill the enemy position, killing people with blood and horses as blood horses, which made the Jin army lose its fear. Become the first in the well-deserved Yue family army.
Yue Yun's saying of "gong first" has appeared in historical records many times, such as the ninth testament of the Jintuo Zhi Compilation: "(Yun) Pingxiang Han Gong is the first, not more than a year old, Quan Cao discerned; the first move to Wu Yilang." Ping Yang Mo is also the first, and not on! There is also Zhang Jun's book mentioned that "in the Battle of Huxiang, Yue Yun was really a miracle, with Yun being a flying son, not baoming, begging and tweeting odd numbers." And so on
It can be seen from this that Yue Yun's real strength is not as "weak" as in "Speaking of Yue", his "merit first" is completed as a pioneer, and every battle is won, unceremoniously saying that he is the first force of the Yue family army, what do you think?
Follow-up: It is said that when Qin Ju convicted Yue Fei's father and son, he did not want to kill Yue Yun, he was afraid that the Jin Dynasty would break the treaty in the future, attack the Song Dynasty, and wanted to leave Yue Yun in case of an accident, which shows that the entire imperial court knew Yue Yun's combat effectiveness, but Emperor Gaozong of Song did not want to leave behind troubles. Without the "Wind Wave Pavilion", his exploits might have surpassed that of his father Yue Fei and reached the height of another young general, Huo Qi, who could only hunt roe deer on the Changbai Mountain, and let the Mongols only watch cattle and sheep on the grassland.
