"When did His Majesty go to Yancheng?" Yue Fei didn't know what to say anymore. What was this?
"Now Jin Wushu's 50,000-strong army has gone to Yancheng, but Yancheng only has 5,000 armed troops, and His Majesty is also in Yancheng." Han Shizhong murmured to himself, unable to believe this fact at all.
"Wang Gui, assemble the army and head to Yancheng immediately."
We must not let Yancheng become the second Bianliang!
"General, the Jin army is about to be annihilated!"
"Stop talking nonsense and go to Yancheng immediately!"
"General, you can't."
When Yue Fei saw Wang Gui stopping him, he just told him the truth: "Your Majesty is in Lincheng now, and Jin Wushu's 50,000 troops have been besieging Lincheng for who knows how long. There are less than 5,000 soldiers in Lincheng.
Ma, we Bixue will go over immediately."
"What, why is your Majesty in Yancheng?" At this moment, Wang Gui completely forgot what Liu Chan gave him. Never forget the Northern Expedition to fight against the Jin Army at any time, and never give up the overall situation because of personal reasons.
When Wang Gui finished arranging his troops and horses, his head suddenly started to flash and he remembered!
But under the current situation, Wang Gui was in a dilemma.
"What are you doing?" Yue Fei asked curiously when he saw Wang Gui's hesitation.
"General, His Majesty gave me an order before we left, saying that the overall situation of the north must be put first at all times. Now that the Jin army is about to be annihilated, should we..."
"There are only 50,000 Jin troops here, and they are not the elites of the Jin Kingdom. It is only correct that we send out 50,000 elite troops to destroy Jin Wushu this time, and we consider the overall situation of the north."
"The general understands."
Wang Gui cupped his fists at Yue Fei, saying this was just correct. The most correct way was to wipe out the 50,000 Jin army in front of him, and then kill the 50,000 elite Jin Wushu, regardless of the life and death of the emperor at the rear.
But sometimes being right doesn’t mean it’s suitable!
Ask today's Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, and Liu Qi, who dares to ignore the life and death of a war emperor!
Who dares to treat Yancheng as the second Bianliang!
nobody!
"I will go with you too." Liu Qi said, and then said to Han Shizhong: "Master Han should continue to pursue the Jin army here."
"No, the Jin Army has a total of 50,000 elites. It is difficult for you people to defeat them. Can you confront the Iron Buddha Tu head-on, or do you have to fight the Jin soldiers on the plains with cavalry?"
Han Shizhong's words were very rude, but that's the fact. The Song Army's cavalry couldn't defeat the Jin Kingdom on the plains, let alone Tiefu Tu and Guaizima. The most important thing is that the Jin Army may have captured Liu Chan.
"Then we can only withdraw the entire army first, leaving 20,000 soldiers to garrison Shunchang, and the rest will go to Yancheng to rescue His Majesty." Yue Fei came up with a plan.
"Then that's all."
Lin'an
"Prime Minister Zhao, I don't know why you are so happy." Zhao Yuan asked curiously while studying government affairs.
"Ah, is there any?"
"You don't know how many times you've laughed secretly."
"Hahaha, I was thinking that if the war went well, Bianliang would have been captured by now."
"Oh, you are talking about the Northern Expedition plan, but there has been no bad news recently. It seems that General Yue will definitely be able to complete the mission."
"Yue Fei is not only loyal and brave, but also capable. His Highness the Crown Prince can get in touch with him and understand military issues."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for the tip."
Zhao Yuan thought to herself that she had already been in contact with Yue Fei, and if her father hadn't driven him out of Lin'an, she would have accepted him as her own.
However, it was good to drive him out of Lin'an. Yue Fei had made many military exploits and now had great power, which was very beneficial to his position as the prince.
"Prime Minister Zhao, it's bad, Zhao Hao is back." An official ran in in panic.
"Zhao Hao? Let him in quickly."
After Zhao Hao entered the palace, Zhao Ding understood why the official was so panicked. Zhao Hao's clothes were actually in tatters, as if he had escaped.
"Why are you back? Where is Your Majesty?" Zhao Ding asked hurriedly.
Hearing this, Zhao Hao burst into tears. This made Zhao Ding even more anxious. Zhao Yuan also felt bad and asked repeatedly what happened.
"Prime Minister Zhao, Prince Jin Wushu sent 40,000 troops to attack Yancheng. Your Majesty is in danger."
Zhao Xiang felt as if his head had been struck by lightning, and he grabbed Zhao Hao: "Tell me again, what happened, and why you came back alone."
"General Han said that Yancheng needed troops to garrison, so I returned to Yancheng with His Majesty and the 5,000-strong army. But not long after, Jin Wushu suddenly appeared in Yancheng with 40,000 troops. His Majesty refused.
Leave and insist on living and dying with the five thousand carrying Wei army."
"Do you want to say that Han Shizhong rebelled?" Zhao Yuan asked with an ugly face.
"I don't know, it's just that no one knows why Jin Bing appeared in Yancheng."
"Then why did His Majesty ask you to come back?" Zhao Ding felt like the world was spinning, and he forced himself to ask the last question.
Zhao Hao heard the words and took out the imperial edict from his arms: "This is your majesty's last edict. I am here to announce it. Please invite the prince, and Prime Minister Zhao will summon all the civil and military officials, so that I can read it out."
Zhao Ding suddenly remembered something and said to Zhao Yuan: "Prince, please summon all the officials. I'll sit down and take a rest."
"good."
Zhao Yuan saw Zhao Ding's expression and knew that he could not be stimulated in any way, so he went down and quickly summoned all the officials.
"Give me the imperial edict." Zhao Ding suddenly spoke and said to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao immediately hugged the imperial edict tightly: "Mr. Zhao, His Majesty said that it must be opened in front of all officials. At other times, it must not be opened in private."
"Give it to me first."
"No, Prime Minister Zhao, you have to think twice. This is His Majesty's last edict."
At this time, Qin Hui, who was handling government affairs nearby, rushed over. Zhao Hao immediately ran to Qin Hui's side: "Prime Minister Qin, Prime Minister Zhao wants to seize the imperial edict."
"Oh, I wonder what Prime Minister Zhao wants to do." A smile appeared on Qin Hui's face, and then he looked at Zhao Hao curiously: "What kind of imperial edict did Prime Minister Zhao want to take away regardless of his actions?"
"It's a posthumous edict." Zhao Hao said softly.
"Edict!"
Qin Hui looked at Zhao Hao with wide eyes and exclaimed. Then he grabbed Zhao Hao and said, "What's wrong with your Majesty!"
Zhao Hao could only repeat what he had said before. Qin Hui immediately stared at the edict in Zhao Hao's arms with burning eyes. This would be the power of the next few decades. Qin Hui swallowed hard.
Then Qin Hui thought of something, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Give me the imperial edict." Qin Hui extended his hand to Zhao Hao and said.
Zhao Hao is already numb, why are everyone like this!
