As soon as Wanyan Gao heard that Zongfu's military report had been delivered, he immediately became excited again.

In Wanyan Gao's heart, Zong Fu's current situation is very good, so the news he sent here is undoubtedly good news.

After Wanyan Gao read Zongfu's military report, the smile on his face froze, then slowly darkened, and finally turned livid.

Zong Han said: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Wanyan Gao coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then fell down.

"Your Highness!" Zong Han quickly supported Wanyan Gao, "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"

Wanyan Gao himself was weak and plagued by diseases.

When I saw Zongfu's military report, I was so angry that I vomited blood and fainted.

Zong Fu not only sent a military newspaper to Yanjing, but also sent one to Zong Wang who was in Beijing.

On March 25, when I went to Beijing, I received a military report from Zongfu.

For a time, the fighting situation on the Eastern Front shocked the entire Jin Dynasty court.

The collapse of a hundred thousand troops was something that had never happened before.

Even the Loushi in Shaanxi still had 50,000 men left, and they gathered together to confront the Song army in Shaanxi.

Of course, the first thing Zongfu did when he returned to Hejian Mansion was to beat Wan Yanchang severely.

After the beating, Yan Chang cried for father and mother, and even his pants almost flew off!

In Zongfu's military report, most of the responsibility for the defeat was placed on Wan Yanchang.

Not only did the third prince Zongfu write a letter to his second brother Zong Wang, Wan Yanchang also wrote a letter to Zong Wang.

However, Wan Yanchang put all the responsibility on Zongfu, believing that Zongfu's strategy of taking Fucheng was the root of all mistakes.

Both men hold their own opinions.

However, the Jin Dynasty court in Beijing was discussing not whose responsibility it was, but the situation of the Song Army on the Eastern Front.

Zongfu said that he was sneak attacked by the Song army who were wearing Jin army armor all the way.

Wan Yanchang also said that he was sneak attacked by the Song army wearing Jin army armor along the way.

So the question is, why did the Song army have Jin army armor on this road, and how many people were there?

According to the intelligence about the Song Army that Yanjing gave to Shangjing, the commander on the Eastern Front was Li Gang.

The Jin Dynasty court unanimously believed that the eastern front was the best to fight, because the Song army's foundation on the eastern front was very weak. Although Li Gang was in charge, it did not have strong military strength.

Now it seems that this estimate was mistaken at my grandma's house.

How many Song troops were there on the Eastern Front?

This is related to the question of whether to send troops to support the Eastern Front.

But now it involves the issue of support for Lou Shi on the Western Front.

Therefore, the Jin Dynasty Court returned to the question of whether to fight on the Eastern Front or the Western Front.

Zongfu also revealed another important thing in the military newspaper: Emperor Zhao Huan of the Song Dynasty died on the front line, Zhao Ji was restored to power, and an envoy was sent to deliver the peace treaty letter and cede territory and pay compensation.

This made the nobles of the Jin Kingdom who came to the capital even more full of questions.

Good guy, while cutting off the territory, you can defeat my army of 100,000 men at the same time?

What exactly was the Song Dynasty doing?

Finally, the second prince Wanyan Zongwang concluded: Zongfu was deceived by the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty promised to negotiate peace in order to paralyze him and take the opportunity to make a sneak attack.

Only this statement can explain the situation at hand.

So the Jin Dynasty Chaotang basically accepted Zong Wang's statement.

Then, someone in the Jin Dynasty court proposed to accuse the Song Dynasty: Since you have proposed peace and continue to fight, what about the integrity of your Central Plains Dynasty? Continue to send troops!

Everyone felt that they had been tricked by the Song Dynasty, so they immediately prepared to start internal mobilization, using fierce words to show everyone the despicable and shameless side of the Song Dynasty, in order to arouse the anger of the Jin army and improve their morale.

But on March 28, that is, the fourth day after Zongfu's military report arrived in Beijing, an urgent report also came from Yanjing.

As soon as the urgent report from Yanjing came, Shangjing fell into a dead silence.

Yanjing’s emergency report was very simple. It mainly talked about two things:

1. Wan Yangao was in a coma and his life was in danger.

Second, Zong Han suffered a setback and lost 80,000 troops.

Just as the 100,000-strong army on the Eastern Front collapsed in Shangjing, a thousand waves were stirred up, and these two urgent reports came from Yanjing.

Each of these two urgent reports is more serious than the collapse of the 100,000-strong army on the Eastern Front!

Who is Wanyan Zonghan?

He is the commander-in-chief of the entire army!

They are the determined faction of the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Song Dynasty!

He was the first contributor to the founding of the Jin Kingdom.

The strategy to destroy the Liao Dynasty was proposed by Zong Han to Aguda, and he made great achievements in destroying the Liao Dynasty.

Later, they invaded the Song Dynasty twice, and each time they returned with a full load. The military towns in the north of the Song Dynasty were wiped out, and a large number of Han people were captured on both Hebei and Hedong roads and were taken to the Jin Kingdom.

Treasures, livestock, craftsmen, weapons, and Song generals are countless.

All of these greatly enhanced the national strength of the Jin Kingdom.

The most important thing is that these Han people who were moved to Shangjing brought advanced technology to the humble Shangjing, which greatly improved the quality of life of the Jurchen nobles.

It can be said that Zong Han's status in the hearts of the Jurchens is even higher than that of Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Gao.

But this time, Zong Han actually lost 80,000 people!

The 100,000-strong army on the eastern front collapsed and the middle road suffered heavy losses. The Song army was now besieging Taiyuan Prefecture.

These news made Jin Guo Chaotang feel a little unreal.

Just in the first half of last year, they pressed the Song Dynasty to the ground and rubbed it back and forth, and the Song Dynasty didn't even have a chance to fight back.

But this year, the whole situation seemed to have changed dramatically.

Even Wanyan Zongwang couldn't accept this battle situation.

No wonder Wanyan Gao was so angry that he vomited blood and passed out.

Next, the Jin Dynasty court changed from debating whether to fight the Eastern Front or the Western Front to whether to add more troops to the front line.

If the Jin Kingdom wants to continue fighting, it must have a very sufficient supply of troops.

The number of Jin Kingdom's war horses is 400,000. In this battle, 80,000 war horses were invested, and there are still more than 300,000.

Moreover, if we want to mobilize a large army, we can mobilize another 200,000 troops. In addition, Wu Shu still has 90,000 troops.

And there was still plenty of money in the treasury. When he besieged Tokyo for the first time, Wanyan Zongwang extorted 5 million taels of gold and 50 million taels of silver from Song Qinzong Zhao Huan.

Moreover, when the Liao Dynasty was destroyed, the Jin Kingdom inherited the richest territory of the Liao Kingdom.

Now the Jin State's treasury is not short of money, nor is it short of weapons!

You can hit again anytime you want.

Zong Han's letter analyzed the current situation. He believed that although the Song Dynasty made several powerful counterattacks, it was already at the end of its war effort.

As long as we continue to invest troops and continue to fight, let alone the towns in Shaanxi, the two roads in Hebei, the two roads in Hedong, the two roads in Jingdong, and even the two Huaihe Rivers can be defeated.

Therefore, in this letter, Zong Han actually analyzed the shortcomings of the current situation and persuaded Emperor Wanyan Wu of Jin to continue to increase his troops and fight while the Song Dynasty was currently exhausted, so he continued to fight!

This view of his has also been supported by many people.

He also wrote a separate letter to Zong Wang, persuading Zong Wang to speak directly to him.

Wanyan Zongwang was even persuaded by Zong Han, because what Zong Han said was indeed reasonable. Although the Song army fought several beautiful counterattacks, it must have consumed a lot of money.

The consumption of military expenses, military rations, troops, weapons, etc. is very, very large.

As long as you continue to fight now, there is a high probability that you can achieve unexpected results.
