After Zong Han came in, Han Qixian said: "See the marshal."

Zong Han said: "Ms. Han, please go out first."

Wanyan Gao nodded, and Han Qi resigned first.

Only Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Gao were left in the house.

Wanyan Gao said: "Why didn't you discuss it with me in advance when you suddenly arrived in Yanjing?"

Zong Han said without any hesitation: "Your Highness, I fought a battle with the Song army in Shangdang."

"oh?"

"lost heavily."

The expression on Wanyan Gao's face slowly solidified.

Zong Han continued: "I only brought back more than 10,000 people."

"Where is Song Jun?"

Zong Han said solemnly: "The losses are also huge, no less than ours."

Wanyan Gao stood up and fell into deep contemplation.

"Why is this happening!"

Wanyan Gao did not blame Zong Han. It is not an exaggeration to say that Zong Han was the first contributor to the founding of the Jin Kingdom. He fought for Agu in the south and north, and also opened up and expanded the territory of the dynasty.

He won't blame Zong Han, and he doesn't have the confidence to blame.

Wanyan Gao just couldn't understand that with Zong Han's talent, he could actually end up in such a situation with the Song army?

Wanyan Gao seemed to be a little paler. He was not in good health. He was as thin as a stick and coughed.

"Zong Han, what is going on?"

Wanyan Gao's pretendingly calm tone contained an unconcealable anxiety.

Behind this is not anxiety about the Song army, but anxiety about the politics of the Jin Dynasty.

If it was Wushu who brought the situation to this point, it can be said that Jin Wushu's status in the army at this period was not yet at the top.

But it happened that the commander-in-chief of the entire army, the marshal who moved south this time, brought the battle to this situation.

He had even thought about the faces of the advocates and factions in the court, especially Zong Wang, who would definitely stand up and cause trouble.

Zong Han said: "The people I am fighting against are the Imperial Guards of the Emperor of Song Dynasty. This army is stronger than I imagined."

"The news from Lou Shi is that the Song Army defeated his cavalry on the left, which led to the collapse of the battle. The Song Army used the tactic of cutting the horse's legs. Yours did the same?"

"No, the armored infantry formation formed by the Song Army."

"So, the Song Army's combat effectiveness is really increasing?"

"It is indeed increasing." Zong Han sighed, "But this is also related to the fact that the Emperor of Song Dynasty personally led the expedition, and the morale of the Song army increased greatly."

"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty went on a personal expedition?" Wanyan Gao was confused, "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty you are talking about is Zhao Huan?"

Zong Han was slightly startled and said, "Who else is there besides him?"

"But I just received news from Zong Fu not long ago that Zhao Huan died in battle and that Zhao Ji has succeeded to the throne. He proposed a peace agreement on the condition that Hedong, Hebei and Jingdong East Road be ceded, and all Song troops should be withdrawn."

Zong Han was confused when he heard this.

Zhao Huan died in battle?

This news is quite big!

Zong Han said: "When did the news from Zong Fu arrive?"

"Just five days ago."

"The battle between me and Emperor Song was on February 25th. If so..."

Wanyan Gao's eyes lit up and he said, "Could it be that during the battle between Shangdang and Shangdang, Zhao Huan died at Shangdang?"

This seems to make sense. Wanyan Gao was still confused when he heard the news reported by Zong Fu.

Zong Han took a deep breath, this was something he never expected.

He said with some excitement: "We cannot rule out this possibility. The fighting was very brutal and there was heavy snowfall. The Emperor of Song Dynasty was weak and may have died of illness."

In this way, although he seemed to have suffered heavy losses, he actually killed the emperor of the Song Dynasty who was the main battler?

Thinking of this, Zong Han suddenly felt that he had really won against Dafa!

Wanyan Gao also immediately cleared away the gloom in his heart.

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was killed by Zong Han. Although Zong Han suffered heavy losses this time, the peace factions in the court had nothing to say!

Zong Han suddenly felt that the whole situation had turned upside down. He had originally learned that many Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians had appeared in Taiyuan Mansion, and felt that the situation had become very bad.

When he returned to Yanjing this time, he wanted to discuss with Wanyan Gao to revitalize the army and go directly south to Shangdang. Taking advantage of the heavy losses of the Song army, he continued to fight and even defeated Luoyang.

But he did not expect that the tough war-minded emperor of the Song Dynasty died suddenly. Zhao Ji, who was originally greedy for life and feared death, came to power, and the credentials for ceding territory and paying compensation were sent.

Happiness comes too suddenly.

"Wushu's army is currently reorganizing in Zhending Mansion. Zongfu said that he will reorganize on the eastern front. Since the Song Dynasty ceded those places, he will come back later than expected."

He asked Zong Han again: "Since the Song Dynasty has ceded its territory, do we still want to fight against Shaanxi?"

Wanyan Zonghan said: "The emperor of the Song Dynasty's certificate of ceding territory has not yet been sent to us, so we pretended not to know, and at this time, the Song army was still besieging Taiyuan Prefecture. Even if the Song Dynasty later asked us why we were still attacking, we

You can also talk about the Taiyuan Song Army."

"you mean?"

"Continue to attack Shaanxi and completely wipe out the Song army in Shaanxi before the Song Dynasty's credentials are delivered to avoid future troubles."

"Okay!" Wanyan Gao also became excited, "But Zongfu's army may be delayed for two months. You first organize a group of troops, lead Wu Shu, and enter Shaanxi together."

"Where's Taiyuan?"

"The Song Army cannot capture Taiyuan for the time being. The most important thing now is Shaanxi. Before the Song Dynasty's surrender certificate is sent, all the Song Army in Shaanxi will be wiped out to remove the biggest stumbling block for the future unification of the Central Plains."

Zong Han thought for a while and felt it made sense: "Okay, I will teach you the art of command."

"By the way, if the news that you suffered heavy losses in Shangdang this time was reported back to Shangjing, it would definitely be given as evidence. It was just that Zhao Huan Yujia personally went on the expedition at that time, so the Song army had high morale and could fight you like this.

situation?"

"The endurance of this Song army is much stronger than the Song army I have seen before, and the most important thing is that the Song army sent out an armored cavalry at that time, which turned the tide of the battle."

"Do the Song people also use cavalry?" Wanyan Gao's tone was a little solemn.

Wanyan Zongwang has been advocating in the court that the Han people are full of martial virtue and that it will be difficult for the Jin Kingdom to destroy the Song Dynasty. The continuous use of large-scale troops against the Song Dynasty will only make the Song Dynasty stronger and stronger.

If things go on like this, the Kingdom of Jin will be consumed.

The potential dangers of the Jin Kingdom include Xixia and the Mongol people in the grassland.

Zong Wang's argument that the Han people were rich in martial virtue was dismissed by the warring factions.

But now it seems that Zong Wang's statement may not be wrong.

Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan both realized at this time that the Song Army's military strength was gradually increasing.

Clues can be seen from the two major party congresses in Shaanxi and Shangdang.

Fortunately, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was stupid and took the initiative to negotiate peace and cede territory.

"It seems that some of Zong Wang's arguments are reasonable." Wanyan Gao said with emotion, "Fortunately, Zhao Ji is stupid. Otherwise, we would be in trouble."

Zong Han said: "Then we must wipe out Shaanxi as soon as possible to prevent the Song Dynasty from regretting it. As long as Shaanxi is destroyed, the Song Dynasty will no longer be able to resist!"

"That's it, act quickly!" Wanyan Gao's expression suddenly recovered a lot.
