"General Qi, General Han Yan is back." A messenger walked into the camp and reported to Jin Wushuhui.
Jin Wushu said calmly: "He's back, let him come in quickly."
"General Han Yan is kneeling outside the tent, saying he has no face to see you."
Jin Wushu was a little confused. Didn't he just go to explore the enemy's situation? Did something happen? He walked out of the camp and saw Han Yan and several other generals kneeling in front of the camp with injuries. He asked doubtfully: "Han Yan,
I want you to explore Shunchang’s reality. What are you doing kneeling here? And how did you get this injury on your body?"
"The general is guilty, please punish me." Han Yan knelt down and said, the mistake he made this time was really serious.
"Guilty? Did you encounter a large-scale Song army? Where are they?"
"The last general did not encounter a large-scale Song army, but he lost a lot of soldiers and horses when attacking the city."
"Huh? How many troops and horses were lost?" Jin Wushu looked at the injured Han Yan. After all, he was going to explore the enemy's situation, and he was attacking a city. Some losses were normal.
"The loss was more than two thousand." Han Yan replied hesitantly.
"What." Jin Wushu was shocked and looked at Han Yan angrily: "That means almost the entire army was wiped out. How did you investigate and how did you lose so many people?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Han Shizhong was too treacherous and actually used the empty city strategy. I was careless and accidentally created a road. Please punish me, General."
Jin Wushu curled his lips and thought to himself, he is such a stupid guy, he should not have been sent, and he actually had a bad start. However, Han Yan was Han Chang's younger brother after all, and he could not scold him too much in front of the soldiers, so he comforted him.
: "It's okay, I just need to find out the reality of Shunchang. The damage is also within my estimate."
When Han Yan heard these words, she lowered her head and did not dare to speak. Jin Wushu screamed in his heart and said hesitantly: "You, you didn't even find out the truth about Shunchang?"
"General Qi, Han Shizhong was so cunning that I was shot mostly with bows and arrows before I even entered the city. Then I was surrounded by more than a thousand Song troops. I fought to my death before escaping. As for Shunchang's
I don’t know anything about the situation.”
Jin Wushu kicked Han Yan far away and was furious: "Why don't you die? How can you have the honor to come back alive? The face of the Jin Kingdom has been completely humiliated by you. You have grown a brain."
You lost two thousand of your fucking 2,500 cavalry. You haven't figured out the situation in Shunchang yet. Are you attacking the city? You've reached the edge of the city. What the hell are you doing?
You said you would fight to the death, you, you, you." Jin Wushu was so angry that he was speechless.
The Jin Jun people surrounding them all watched this scene in silence. Even Han Chang didn't say much. It was really his younger brother who failed to live up to expectations, and it was not to blame Jin Wushu for being like this. Not only did the task not be completed,
Almost the entire army was wiped out, and I don’t know how many times the average person died.
Jin Wushu shouted: "Gather your army and join me in attacking Shunchang tomorrow."
Zongxian wanted to persuade, saying that this was different from the previous plan, but he was stopped by Han Chang next to him. Han Chang knew that Jin Wushu could not and could not accept any failure in this battle, because any failure would be
It was infinitely enlarged to the imperial court of the Jin Dynasty, and was constantly discussed by those who were interested. Now that the whole army is attacking Shunchang, it can still be said that the previous vanguard army failed in the attack; if the whole army does not attack Shunchang, then it means that the Jin army
If he loses the first battle, then the emperor will definitely not let this go.
This Northern Expedition was not only a showdown between the Song and Jin Dynasties, but also a game between Jin Wushu and Wanyan Sheng. Wanyan Sheng handed over the Jin army to the command of Jin Wushu in order to tell Jin Wushu that he could not accomplish what he had done back then.
What Yan Sheng did. And Jin Wushu just wanted to prove that he was better than Wan Yan Sheng. Both of them were watching each other make mistakes. The most important thing was that Jin Wushu had no way out.

"Pengju, what's going on?" Han Shizhong looked at Yue Fei, who had arrived late, and asked excitedly.
"Five thousand soldiers have entered Yangma City. Now it can be said that there is an iron wall there, which can definitely guarantee the water supply. The people from the Imperial City Division have also poisoned Yingshui. Until tomorrow, the Jin people and horses will be hungry and thirsty, so our army will attack.
We will definitely defeat them in one fell swoop." Yue Fei said with a happy expression, their battle was to keep all the Jin Kingdom's 100,000 troops in the north.
"Okay, great."
"How are you doing here? Have you ever fooled me?" Yue Fei asked curiously.
"Hey, don't mention it. The vanguard general of the Jin Kingdom is actually an idiot. Many of my plans did not work. But I still completed the task successfully. The Jin Army did not find out the reality of Shunchang at all. It is best for you to prepare well.
Send troops and leave Shunchang today."
"That's good, but tomorrow Jin Wushu will definitely not accept this failure. The poison he administered may take two or three days to take effect. By then, Jin Wushu will raise an army to attack. Do you have confidence?"
"Don't worry, there will definitely be no problem in defending the city, but you have to be careful. There will be no support from the rear. Everything will go according to plan. If it doesn't work, just retreat." Han Shizhong and Yue Fei together laid out an overall plan for the Jin Kingdom.
I jumped inside with only Jin Wushu.
"Yes, I remember. But where is your Majesty?" Yue Fei asked with some confusion. Liu Chan should be here at this time, but why is he nowhere to be seen?
"Your Majesty has some things to do. He hasn't left the room all day today." Han Shizhong didn't know what Liu Chan was doing, but he was alone in the room and couldn't come out. People from the Imperial City Department even surrounded the room, leaving no one alone.
They were not allowed in, and even the food was not brought to them.
At this time, Liu Chan was preparing to meet with several important people one by one. The first one was Wang Gui, the commander of the Central Army of the Yue Family Army.
"I wonder why your Majesty has come to you?" Wang Gui took off his mask and wore a black mask in broad daylight. He was still a little uncomfortable wearing black clothes. But since Liu Chan talked to Wang Gui last time, Wang Gui understood
With the knot in his heart opened, his whole person became a little different. He no longer resisted the Shadow Guard's clothes.
"What is the first rule of Shadow Guard?" Liu Chan did not answer, but asked instead.
Wang Gui knelt down directly: "I am loyal to Your Majesty in everything."
"Okay, I will give you a task now, you must complete it."
"Please give me your Majesty's instructions." Wang Gui asked nervously. This was the first task he had received since he began to monitor Yue Fei.
"I am always a little worried about Yue Fei's expedition. Therefore, I entrust you, no matter what happens in the rear, as long as it does not endanger the overall plan, as long as it does not endanger the people in the north, you must not give up the Northern Expedition because of someone or something.
Even if the Jin Kingdom is about to attack Lin'an, Yue Fei will still capture Bianliang for me."
Yue Fei's expedition this time was not to fight Jin Wushu, but to take a detour to Bianliang, preparing to close the door and beat the dogs.
Wang Gui thought it was some kind of mission, but this is the result? Not to mention what happened in the rear, even if Shunchang was captured, Yue Fei would not give up attacking Bianliang, which was the capital of the Song Dynasty in the true sense. So he
He said with confidence: "I obey your order."
But what Wang Gui didn't expect was that when Yue Fei faced this choice, Wang Gui was the first to support giving up recovering Bianliang.
After Wang Gui retreated, Liu Chan took out two more letters and ordered Zhao Hao, who had just come in: "Give these two letters to Prime Minister Zhao and Prime Minister Qin respectively, and tell them to act according to what they said in the letter.
."
After Zhao Hao withdrew, Liu Chan opened another imperial edict. He frowned and still did not write those two words on the edict. Liu Chan sighed: "I have given you the opportunity. I hope you won't make me regret it."

"Your Majesty, there is an envoy from the Song Dynasty who wants to see you."
"Song envoys? What are they here for?" Liu Yu, now the deposed emperor, murmured to himself, somewhat wondering what the Song Dynasty wanted to do.
Liu Yu's son Liu Lin said: "I'm afraid that we are worried about us sending troops to help the Jin Kingdom. I have received news from Lin'an that this time the Song Army not only raised 200,000 troops to expedition to the Northern Jin Kingdom, but Zhao Gou also personally went on the expedition."
"Personally conquered?" Liu Yu exclaimed.
"Father, there is no time now. The Jin State has now made it clear that it wants to destroy us. Li Qiong's army has been disbanded by the Jin State. The next step is our father and son's turn. The military power is no longer in our hands, father.
, we need to make plans early."
"But you and I, father and son, have done our best for the Kingdom of Jin and have never had any second thoughts. I believe that the Kingdom of Jin will not make things difficult for us." Liu Yu was dreaming of his spring and autumn dreams alone, still expecting the Kingdom of Jin to support him.
"Father, please wake up. Today is different from the past. The power of our country now threatens the Kingdom of Jin. Otherwise, why would they want to contact Li Qiong's army? They are already afraid of us, and this is what they want to destroy
Our reasons. Not to mention how the Jin Kingdom treated us. Have you forgotten what Wanyan Zongpan said when the Song Dynasty attacked our country?"
When Liu Yu heard about Zhao Gou's personal expedition, he asked Wanyan Quan for help. Wanyan Zongpan, who was in charge of the three provinces at that time, said: "The first emperor established Liu Yu because he hoped that Liu Yu would open up frontiers and protect the territory so that we could control the troops and pacify the people. Now Liu Yu cannot advance.
We can't defend if we retreat, the troops are in trouble, and we have no time to rest. It is Liu Yu's benefit to send reinforcements, but it is actually me who suffers the disadvantage, so how can I agree to him?" So Wanyan Dan replied to Liu Yu to let him do his own thing, but temporarily sent Jin Wushu.
He acted according to the opportunity and did not care about Liu Yu's life or death.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Liu Yu had no idea and wanted to hear how he could find a son. Anyway, the future of Qi State would be left to him.
"It's better to meet the envoys of Song Dynasty first and see what they have come for."
"Okay, then call the Song envoy over."
The envoy from Song Dynasty, who had been waiting for a long time, finally met Liu Yu, but there was no salute. Liu Yu was unhappy: "Why don't you kneel down?"
"The envoys of the superior state do not worship the master of the lower state."
"You." Liu Yu was so angry that he wanted to drag the Song envoy down and kill him on the spot. Fortunately, he stopped after Liu Lin's signal.
"What brought you here?"
"I'm here to persuade you not to assist the Jin Kingdom in sending troops. Let's see how our government can defeat the Jin army."
"It's not a small tone, but why should I agree to you? The State of Qi is established by the State of Jin, so naturally it wants to help the State of Jin." Liu Lin said on behalf of Liu Yu.
"You are joking. The State of Qi has been deposed by the State of Jin, and you and your son have no value to the State of Jin. My Majesty is gracious and promises that as long as you surrender to me, the Song Dynasty, he is willing to make you a king, and he will be hereditary.
