Yu Yin's mind is no longer clear.
At this time, he was covered in bruises and his vision was blurred. The tiger used a long sword to wield mechanically, but more and more Jin soldiers were around him. Chen Qiao's camp was completely destroyed by the Jin soldiers, and he knew in his heart that he had actually lost this battle.
clang!
A Mouke Bojin rushed over and slashed with a knife.
If it is in normal times, this force is not enough.
But now, Yu Yin was exhausted and raised the sword to greet him. Although he sealed the opponent's long sword, the force from the sword made him retreat several steps. He could no longer hold the long sword in his hand, so he dropped his hand and fell to the ground.
A long spear stabbed Yu Yin in the thigh.
The severe pain suddenly cleared Yu Yin's mind. He shouted loudly, turned around and knocked a tiger pounce, raised his hand and threw the Jin soldier with a gun to the ground. It was also this pounce that the Jurchen Centurion's sword fell to nothing. Just as Yu Yin and the Jin soldier were rolling and fighting on the ground, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the Jurchen Centurion's ears.
Thundering?
The centurion was stunned and raised his head to look into the sky, but saw the moon shining and the stars were sparse.
But the roar became clearer and clearer, from far to near, making him feel confused...
"The flood...Song Gou broke the dam!"
A Jin soldier shouted loudly, which made the centurion stunned and quickly turned back to look up the upper reaches of the Guangji River. But from the upper reaches of the Guangji River, a torrential flow was roaring, and the momentum was terrifying. Guo Jing and others cut off the river channel of Baliwan and blocked the water flow upstream. But as Guo Jing said, this was the time when the Guangji River was at its strongest moment. Although it only took a few hours, it accumulated an astonishing amount of water. The dam was hit by Chen Dong's shelling, and the flood accumulated in the upstream rushed down suddenly, like a giant dragon, swallowing all the lives that blocked its way...
Half of the Jurchen army had crossed the Guangji River, and the others were speeding up their crossing.
Countless soldiers gathered on the river, and when the flood came, they were in great horror. The Jin soldiers shouted loudly and wanted to speed up. But the more this happened, the more chaotic it became. Even though the Jurchen generals killed more than a dozen Ali Xi who had lost their composure, there was no sign of improvement.
Wanyan Zongwang was shocked and knew something was wrong, so he quickly rode his horse away.
In the Chenqiao area, the river channel is relatively narrow, and the flood suddenly overflowed the river bank, causing the Jin soldiers on both sides to rush east and west.
Even the ruins of Chenqiao Camp were flooded.
Because Wanyan Zongwang supervised the battle on the river bank, he was swept in by the flood that rushed upstream and lost his trace in an instant...
The entire Chenqiao turned into a vast ocean!

Kaifeng, Zichen Palace.
Zhao Huan wandered in the hall anxiously. He walked around, sat down and stared blankly, and his face became even more gloomy and gloomy.
The good news from outside the city did not make Zhao Huan feel too much joy.
To be honest, this should be a big victory.
However, Zhao Huan could not feel the joy after victory, but instead felt a little afraid.
After this battle, Master Zhong was famous.
He had just ascended the throne, could he really suppress the people of Zhong Shidao in the future? Moreover, these people have made outstanding achievements in their military affairs and have directly threatened the foundation of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Huan pondered for a long time and had made up his mind. He immediately wrote a secret decree, called his confidant eunuch, handed the secret decree to the eunuch, and said in a deep voice: "Express and King Duan."
The content of the secret decree is very simple, stop the pursuit of the middle-aged people during dialogue.
Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan and others were exiled to Beijing as soon as possible...
He wanted to keep the power of the peace faction and could not continue to investigate. Now the situation is obvious. Zhao Chen's disappearance has nothing to do with these people. If he continues to investigate, he is afraid that more will be involved. The last one will be bad, which will lead to a situation where Zhong Shidao and others dominate in the court. The emperor emphasizes a balance, and Zhao Huan definitely does not allow this situation to occur.
But……
When the secret decree was issued, Zhao Huan was a little disappointed again.
reason?
He himself couldn't explain it clearly. He just felt empty and inexplicably sad.
At this moment, there was a riot outside Zichen Hall.
"The prince is back, the prince is back!"
Zhao Huan was shocked when he heard this and quickly stood up and walked out.
But before he could walk out of the hall, he saw a short figure stumbled in shock and stumbled in front of Zhao Huan with a thud.
"Father, save Xiao Yi quickly."
The familiar voice made Zhao Huan calm down.
With the light of the candlelight in the hall, he saw Zhao Chen clearly.
Zhao Chen was wearing a very dissuasive short jacket of Song Jun, covered in blood. There were still tears on his face, and he looked extremely tired.
A burst of anger disappeared immediately.
Zhao Huan originally planned to teach Zhao Chen a good lesson, but when he saw Zhao Chen's appearance, he swallowed it back when he saw that he looked at him.
"Brother, why do you look like this?"
Zhao Chen knelt on the ground, crying hoarsely, "Please send troops quickly to rescue Xiao Yi."
"Xiao Yi?"
Zhao Huan was stunned and then woke up, "Are you talking about Zhu Lu Mansion leading Yu Yin? Did he take you away?"
Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "Father, I blame Xiao Yi for wrongly, Xiao Yi didn't know that the child was also in the army. Later, when he found out that the child was in the army, he had been blocked by the captive thieves. Father, please send troops quickly, otherwise Xiao Yi would be in danger."
Zhao Huan pulled Zhao Chen up and looked out of the hall.
But when they saw Emperor Roufu and Zhu Xuan standing outside the hall in timidly, they were a little dazed for a moment.
"Huanhuan, what's going on?"
Zhao Duofu walked in and said timidly: "Don't calm down, it's no wonder that the younger brother is doing this. It's all the younger sister's fault..."
"No matter who is wrong, I just want to know what happened."
At this time, Zhu Lian, who received the news, rushed over. Seeing this, he hurriedly drove the people away and pulled Zhao Duofu and Zhu Xuan into the Zichen Hall.
Only then did Zhao Duofu tell the story in its entirety.
Zhao Huan heard this and his thick eyebrows trembled, he looked at Zhu Lian, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
Zhu Lian sighed and hugged Zhao Chen tightly in his arms. He said in a angrily tone: "Brother, do you know how many things you have caused this time? Fortunately, you have nothing to do, otherwise, you will inevitably cause a huge disaster."
"Where is the enemy of Dima camp now?"
"Dick-di and his son asked Jiao Cheng to send us back, while his father and his son rushed to Chenqiao to support Yu Yin."
Zhao Huan frowned and immediately called the eunuch.
"How is Kang Lu and Zhong Qing's progress now?"
"Fang You Zhumiyuan sent news. The old husband had defeated the troops of the enemy Wanyan Saili and was rushing to Chenqiao to reinforce.
In addition, Zhang Yan, the vanguard of reinforcements in Henan Prefecture, has also arrived in Baliwan, less than twenty miles from Chenqiao."
Zhao Huan was hesitant.
Should we continue chasing or stop fighting?
If you continue to pursue, you will achieve great military achievements by Master Zhong, and you will inevitably become a trend in the court in the future. But if you do not pursue, will you let go of this great opportunity? Zhao Huan felt a little reluctant and couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Zhu Lian said: "I once heard Yu Xiaoyi say something: If civil officials are not greedy for money and military generals are not afraid of death, then the world will be peaceful. I don't understand the affairs of the court. But Yu Xiaoyi is indeed loyal to me, the country is in a great Song Dynasty. Although this person has no background and can be replenished by his Yin Yin, his loyalty is not inferior to those who have read the books of sages. It is rare that he is so dedicated to his brother that he will not be able to share his worries for him in the future.
The officials don’t often say that they want to use pillars.
If Yu Xiaoyi is really dead, wouldn’t he just give up other people’s prestige? No matter what, he is the young man’s person!"
Yu Yin is Zhao Chen's person.
This point could no longer be changed from the moment he took over the Zhusufuzhishi.
Zhu Lian’s words also have another meaning: Since you are worried that Master Zhong has great power, why not distinguish the contribution of Master Zhong?
That's right, Zhong Shidao's victory in the battle against Mu Tuogang was indeed a great contribution, but if Yu Yin had not defended Chen Qiao, the results of this battle might not have been so prominent. If Wanyan Zongwang had not been cut off, he would have fought with Zhong Shidao to death. Therefore, the real main achievement of this battle was Yu Yin. Yu Yin was indeed a close minister around Zhao Chen.
Zhu Lian is worthy of being a woman from an official family, and she hit Zhao Huan's thoughts in one sentence.
What is Zhao Huan most worried about?
In fact, the outcome of this battle doesn't matter to him. He even said that he would rather fail than win...
The reason is very simple.
Master Zhong won, and his reputation was from Master Zhong, and it had nothing to do with Zhao Huan.
Not only that, once Zhong Shidao wins a great victory, it will inevitably form a force in the court that can compete with the royal family. The scholars and officials are powerful and not what Zhao Huan wants to see... But if the first achievement of this battle is owned by the royal family, Zhong Shidao's contribution will become inadequate.
The pros and cons of this need to be carefully considered.
Zhao Huan's eyes narrowed into slits and suddenly smiled, "The saint said it right. How can such a loyal minister ignore him?"
He stood up and shouted in a deep voice: "Kang Lu!"
"I'm here."
"Immediately pass on my decree and tell Mr. Zhong that he must rush to Chenqiao as soon as possible to rescue the prince's personal army of Yu Yin's army."
Zhao Huan took the four words "Crown Prince's Personal Army" very seriously.
Kang Lu could not understand what he meant. This was clearly Zhao Huan, who wanted to seize the first merit in this battle.
"I will go immediately."
Kang Lu took the order to walk out, but as soon as he walked out of Zichen Hall, he heard a cheer from outside. Kang Lu was puzzled and hurriedly walked out quickly. Before he could reach the palace gate, he saw a cavalry galloping. The horse knights galloped on their horses while shouting loudly: "Chenqiao victory, Chenqiao victory... The enemy soldiers and Chenqiao were completely defeated!"
Kang Lu was stunned when he heard this, and didn't bother to send the order again, so he hurriedly ordered people to stop the knight.
"What did you say just now?"
"If you go back to your husband, Mr. Zhong will send a message in front of you and Chen Qiao will win."
Kang Lu heard this and took a breath.
As a confidant around the official family, how could he not understand what the official family is most worried about?
Without caring about talking to the knight again, Kang Lu rushed back to Zichen Palace.
"Official family, Zhong Gong sent a message, Chen Qiao's victory!"
When Zhao Huan heard this, his face suddenly darkened. The joy of his beloved son returning safely disappeared, but instead he was inexplicably worried.
Chenqiao's victory?
In this way, has Master Zhong already won a great victory?
