Cai Mao and Li Chunyou watched in bewilderment as the messengers whizzed past them and ran towards the palace.

After Zhao Ning and Zhu Yueying discussed opening an embroidery school at the University of Tokyo, they originally planned to do something serious together.

The good news came so suddenly that Zhao Ning couldn't react.

Jin Wushu was beaten by Yue Fei so quickly?

So fast!

News about Xuzhou's great victory soon began to circulate in the official circles of the capital.

For a moment, no one reacted.

Why are there so many good news this year?

Ever since the Zhao Guan family won the battle in Shangdang, there have been many good news!

Didn't it come about that the Jin army was marching south only in late August?

Wasn't it rumored just a few days ago that Jin Wushu's army arrived in Xuzhou?

It’s only early October!

In this month, most of the process from the dispatch of troops to the collapse of the Jin Army was completed?

Is this a case of rushing here in a hurry and then being defeated in a hurry?

Why does this look like you came here specially to give someone a head?

Jin Wushu's army was defeated by Han Shizhong and Yue Fei successively, which undoubtedly had a great impact on the political environment in Tokyo.

The New Dealers were overjoyed.

Conservatives and old forces were all caught off guard.

However, the political impact of the six officials Zhao Ning killed in the past few days and the dozens of officials he assigned will not disappear because of these two great victories.

Early on the morning of October 2nd, Han Shizhong in Yanzhou received detailed intelligence.

Only then did he learn that the person in Qufu was actually Jin Wushu, the supreme commander of the Jin Army.

Now Han Shizhong had an idea and started to raise questions: Wasn't the strategic goal of Jin Wushu's rapid southward movement to the Lianghuai River? Why did he go so long and still be in Qufu?

What is there to do in Qufu?

Zhang Qing said: "General, should we take advantage of the victory and attack that Jin Wu Shu?"

"Don't act rashly." Han Shizhong thought for a moment. Most of the areas around Qufu and Yanzhou are plain areas. It would not be a wise move to go head-to-head with Jin Wushu.

Although Han Shizhong did not take the initiative to send troops to attack Qufu, he wrote a letter to Jin Wushu.

On the third day of October, Jin Wushu received a letter from Han Shizhong.

This letter was written quite provocatively, and its core meaning can be condensed into just one sentence: Get out of here.

Jin Wushu was not angry after seeing it, but just a little helpless.

The Jin army suffered three consecutive defeats, and its morale was extremely low.

If Han Shizhong had known about Xuzhou's great victory, he might have already sent troops to Qufu by now.

The situation can be said to be very unfavorable for Jin Wushu.

Now Han Shizhong is in Yanzhou dozens of miles away, and Yue Fei from Xuzhou may go north at any time.

He went deep into the Song Dynasty.

Even if we are not afraid of the Song army in field battles, it is not an option if we continue to fight like this because we will suffer too much loss.

On the third day of October, Li Cheng arrived in Qufu.

"Deputy Marshal, I failed to stop the Song army. Please forgive me, Deputy Marshal!"

After Jin Wushu saw Li Cheng, he held Li Cheng's hand and said, "It doesn't matter, just come back!"

Li Cheng said: "Deputy Marshal, the Song army does not dare to go out of the city to fight. Our army only needs to recover for a while before we can fight again!"

Han Chang immediately jumped out and objected: "Deputy Marshal, morale is low. Now many soldiers want to return north. We can no longer love to fight."

"Deputy Marshal, the Song army must be proud of their victory. We used tricks to lure the Song army out of the city, but they were defeated in one battle."

Han Chang added: "Li Cheng, you don't know that Han Shizhong defeated Zong Min and Wang Bolong is in Yanzhou now!"

When Li Cheng heard this, he was shocked.

Jin Wushu sighed and said, "Withdraw."

He doesn't want to lose all his wealth here.

As long as he still has his family fortune, his political status in the court will not be greatly affected, and he can slowly build it up again.

If you lose all your family wealth here, how can you fight for power when you go back?

This is risky.

Late at night on the fourth day of October, Jin Wushu quietly evacuated Qufu and headed north quickly.

On the fifth day of October, when Yue Fei's army arrived in Qufu, they learned that the Jin army had retreated and immediately began to pursue it.

Early in the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Han Shizhong also received news that the Jin army was withdrawing northward. He was a little unable to react for a while.

Why did you withdraw so suddenly?

Is it a ploy to lure the enemy?

Regardless of whether it was a ploy to lure the enemy or not, Han Shizhong immediately began to pursue him.

At noon, Han Shizhong learned from the scouts that there was news about a group of friendly troops, which turned out to be Yue Fei's troops.

He remembered that the last time he met Yue Fei, the two of them were invited to a banquet by Zhao Guan's family and had a meal.

It's been a year since then.

During this year, Han Shizhong defeated the Jin army several times, and Yue Fei also made great achievements many times.

Han Shizhong felt a little emotional for a while.

I also heard from the scouts that Jin Wushu had already arrived in Xuzhou, where he was defeated by Yue Fei, so he fled north to Qufu.

Are we about to retreat?

This makes sense.

In this way, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei split up to pursue Jin Wushu.

By the tenth day of October, Jin Wushu had arrived in Dezhou and fled to Fucheng.

Until mid-October, Wu Shu retreated to the Hejian Prefecture area, and quickly retreated from the Hejian Prefecture area to Zhending Prefecture.

At this time, the fourth Song-Jin War ended hastily.

Its sudden arrival caused the Song army on the northern front to take action, making officials in the capital jittery, and had a huge impact on the court affairs in Tokyo.

However, it came suddenly, but it was even more sudden.

Starts in late August and ends in mid-October.

In the Fourth Battle between Song and Jin, the Jin army ended in defeat.

This also indicates that the Jin Kingdom will not be able to destroy the Song Dynasty for the time being.

The third battle between Song and Jin broke the absolute advantage of the Jin army since the battle between Song and Jin, while the fourth battle between Song and Jin undoubtedly dragged the war situation into a lasting state.

After Jin Wushu withdrew his troops, the Jin troops along Hebei East Road retreated one after another.

As for the so-called Jin Army in Zhaozhou, they never went south. They hung around there and finally disappeared suddenly.

On October 20, when Jin Wushu arrived at Zhending Mansion, he wrote a letter to the second prince Wanyan Zongwang in Yanjing.

The letter truthfully reported the process of his defeat.

This letter was sent to Yanjing quickly and was placed on Wanyan Zongwang's desk just two days later.

After reading it, Zong Wang's brows furrowed.

His political views were indeed different from Wanyan Zonghan's. He did not agree with the destruction of the Song Dynasty. He believed that the Jin Kingdom could not destroy the Song Dynasty.

The previous series of victories achieved by the Kingdom of Jin were all at the tactical level.

Of course, Zong Wang actually didn’t want to destroy the Song Dynasty.

He wanted to destroy the Song Dynasty steadily, and it was by no means as simple as a crude military strike.

Zong Wang took up his pen and began to write a letter to Shangjing.

He analyzed the current situation and found that the Song Army's combat effectiveness improved faster than he imagined.

He analyzed the situation in various countries.

Finally, the policy towards the Song Dynasty was put forward: attacking the Song Dynasty through military, trade and political aspects.

The most famous one is "The Theory of Copper Coins in the Song Dynasty".
