No one else said anything, but everyone else obviously agreed with Wanyan Zongjun's statement.

It was just because Zong Han had made too many contributions, had too high a prestige in the court, and held too much military power.

Now he has convinced Zong Wang. Once Zong Han and Zong Wang join forces, half of the Jin Kingdom will be in their hands.

This is simply an unimaginable nightmare for everyone present.

"Not even my twelve gold medals can be passed back to Zong Han!" Wanyan Zongpan said angrily, "Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions! I will remove him from the official position of Zhongshu Ling and strip him of the title of King of Qin!"

Wanyan Zongjun immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Wanyan Zongqian finally couldn't bear it anymore. He almost stood up and called Wanyan Zongpan stupid, but on the surface he was still polite and respectful.

He said: "Your Majesty, Zong Han has nearly 100,000 troops in his hands. Whether it is the current battlefield in Hebei or the soldiers and horses in the battlefield in Goryeo, they all obey his orders. Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Why, does he still dare to withdraw his troops and come back? He can't defeat me!" Zong Pan became even more angry.

Zong Qian said in his heart: If it were not for us, if he really came back with troops, what would you do?

Although he said this in his heart, Zong Qian still took care of Zong Pan's face and said: "Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty is watching with eager eyes. If there is any unpleasantness with the King of Qin at this time, only the Zhao Guan family will benefit."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"It's not difficult to renegotiate with Zhao Guan's family and make peace with the truce." Zong Qian said.

"The King of Qin will not agree. He is still insisting on his own way!" Zong Pan said angrily.

"The King of Qin wants to continue fighting, but that does not mean that the soldiers on the front line want to continue fighting." Zong Qian said sharply, "As long as the court intends to negotiate peace, as long as His Majesty issues an imperial edict to appease the three armies, promising that all soldiers who return will not be punished.

, and be able to reunite with my family.”

What is power?

This is power.

The soldiers of the Jin Army would not believe Wanyan Zongqian, but they would believe Jin Emperor Wanyan Zongpan.

The application of power is not just about giving orders, it is using one's own identity and attributes to make arrangements that are beneficial to oneself.

Obviously, Zong Pan had a very naive understanding of power. He always thought that since he was the emperor, he could order anyone to do anything.

This was actually the reason why Wanyan Sheng did not dare to pass the throne to him at that time.

Zong Pan thought about it and felt that it still made sense. He asked Wu Shu: "King Wei, what do you think?"

Wu Shu said: "Your Majesty, I think what King Chu said makes sense."

Wanyan Yu said: "I also think what King Chu said makes sense."

"Then let's do it!"

On August 28, after being reminded by Wanyan Zongqian and others, Wanyan Zongpan first sent an imperial edict of condolences to the frontline soldiers, and then sent an imperial edict to Wanyanchang asking him to find a way to cease the war with the Song Dynasty.

Then he sent an imperial edict to Zong Wang to promote him to Tai Tu.

Finally, an imperial edict was sent to Zong Han respecting him as the Grand Master.

On August 29, Zhao Ning continued to announce in a high-profile manner in Zhaozhou that he was planning the Northern Expedition. Looking at the newspapers in the past few days, it seemed that the Song Dynasty had already demolished the entire city wall of Yanjing.

This made Zong Han, who was all the way south, so excited that he ran all the way.

On August 30, Yue Fei's scouts detected traces of a group of Jin troops in Baosai County, Baozhou.

The war on the Western Front seems to have finally revealed some traces of its ferociousness.

On the evening of August 30th, the setting sun dyed the fields of Cangzhou red.

The autumn wind blows through the golden birch trees in front, bringing with it a sense of desolation and coldness.

In the coldness, the sound of trumpets sounded again, majestic but sad.

A large group of armored infantry covered the crossbowmen. From the northwest, they quickly formed a prism and cut towards the southeast.

The Jin Army's Guaizi Ma detoured from the east and began to approach quickly, and then formed a charging frenzy, charging towards the fast-moving Song Army.

The flags of the Song Army's military formation began to wave, and the Song Army slowly slowed down and finally stopped.

The armored soldier holds a shield in his left hand and a sharp spear in his right hand.

They quickly formed a circle of defense, protecting the crossbowmen in the middle.

When the Jin Army cavalry came over, the crossbowmen first released a wave of crossbow arrows.

Those sharp arrows hit the armor of the Jin army and made a "thump, thump, thump" sound. Some bounced off, and some hit the horses, causing the horsemen to flip over.

After braving a crossbow attack, Guaizima rushed to the vicinity of the Song army and retaliated with arrows. He also charged with cavalry, but was blocked by the Song army.

Seeing that the Song army was extremely tenacious, they did not dare to stay longer and turned back to look for opportunities to bleed again.

However, during this period, another Song army had begun to move quickly from behind this Song army, and there were quite a few of them.

They moved towards the right flank of the Jin army in front to cover them up.

The army that had just covered them moved slowly, trying to maintain a defensive state against the kidnappers.

After the main offensive force quickly closed the distance, the Jin army's right wing began to fight.

Both sides invested a large number of elite infantry, killing blood and flesh everywhere and screaming in agony.

Both sides rushed forward desperately, using their utmost strength to hack and smash the other party to death.

There, there was already a layer of corpses laid out there. These corpses were from yesterday, and even from the day before yesterday.

The setting sun made everything look particularly desolate.

In the past half month, both the Song Army and the Jin Army invested a large number of elites and started a life-and-death struggle here.

While Zong Wang ordered his troops to besiege Cangzhou, he also launched a frantic attack on the Song army's reinforcements.

In some places behind, some Song Army engineer battalions were digging trenches with shovels.

These days, the Song army dug long ravines everywhere near Cangzhou City as if they were on a chicken's blood.

Moreover, this task was extremely difficult. On the one hand, the forward army and the central army cooperated to fight each other with the constantly attacking Jin army. On the other hand, trenches were dug in different places as defense points for the army.

This is actually a tactic adopted by Yao Zheng: delay!

Since his mission is to withstand the war situation on the Eastern Front, then just delay!

When Li Gang defended the city of Cangzhou, he was dragging his troops. When Yao Zheng dug trenches outside the city, he was also dragging his troops.

However, it would be very difficult to fight against the Jin army outside the city.

"Report!" A scout rushed over and said to Yao Zheng, "The fifth battalion has suffered heavy damage, please support us!"

"I know! There is no support!" Yao Zheng's brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan", his eyes revealed numbness, but there was also a hint of firmness in the numbness.

This kind of determination is like a steel wire lifting thousands of kilograms of weight.

In the past half month, this Song army has accepted intensive attacks from the elite Jin army from all directions.

Hundreds of people were killed every day.

In order to stall the battle as much as possible, Yao Zheng tried every means, including digging so many trenches.

Some trenches have been filled with corpses from both sides.

Outside Cangzhou City, corpses were already strewn everywhere.
