Two days later, in the majestic Daqing Palace in the Imperial City of Bianjing, all civil and military officials were seen looking at the general who was kneeling in despair with shock on his face. Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, slowly stood up in disbelief, his lips trembling. Said: "You are saying it once!!"
"In the official family, hundreds of thousands of troops were completely destroyed in Jingdong. Three of the four military governors were killed. More than 30 generals who accompanied the expedition were killed or injured. His Highness Tong Gong and King Kang were trapped in Jinan Mansion and could not cross the Yellow River north to return. Daming, Daming Mansion is lost." The general who reported was already crying as he spoke.
"This, how is this possible!"
"The Jingdong thieves have become so powerful."
"If the Daming Mansion is lost, doesn't it mean that a hundred thousand thieves can attack Bianjing at any time!!"
At this time, Zhao Ji felt his eyes swaying for a while, and then he fainted.
"Official!!"
"Quick, send the message to the imperial doctor!!"
Soon, in the Chuigong Hall, when Zhao Ji slowly opened his eyes on the dragon bed, he saw the prince Zhao Huan next to him suddenly excitedly saying: "Father, you are finally awake."
After Zhao Ji saw it, he immediately cried: "Son! My Song Dynasty is over, it's over!!"
"No, Father, the Song Dynasty is not over yet. The imperial capital can still form an army of 100,000 at any time. In addition, there is a 150,000 Western Army of General Zhong in the south of the Yangtze River," Zhao Huan quickly comforted.
"Old General" Zhao Ji seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw when he heard this, and immediately said: "Quick, send the message quickly, let the old general turn around quickly!!"
"My son has sent someone to notify you."
After hearing this, Zhao Ji recovered slightly and said with worry on his face: "Now that your brother is trapped in Jinan, what should you do?"
"Father, now we have no choice but to send people to negotiate," Zhao Huan said helplessly.
"negotiation??"
"My son has just inquired carefully. Although Jingdong won this battle, it also suffered heavy losses. In the battle at Jinan Mansion, Song Jiang almost lived and died. Just now Wang Shaozai said that Song Jiang has not officially decided to rebel until now. In other words, Although he has the upper hand, he still doesn’t dare to imitate Jiangnan and directly brave the disapproval of the world and establish himself as king!!”
"Seriously" Zhao Ji said excitedly.
"Father, all the ministers are outside now."
"Quick, let them in," Zhao Ji said anxiously. Although he usually indulges in pleasure, at this time, the safety of the entire Song Dynasty is concerned.
Soon after, Cai Jing, the Grand Master, Gao Qiu, the Grand Lieutenant, Wang Fu, the Young Master, Liang Shicheng, the Grand Palace Inspector, and Zhu Meng, the Weiyuan Jiedu Commander, came to Zhao Ji one after another.
"Master Liang, a marquis is too young." Wang Fu suddenly shook his head and said.
Liang Shicheng was stunned. This eunuch who was even more favored than Tong Guan looked at the other people who were sighing and gritted his teeth and said: "Do you still need a duke or a prince? What prestige does such a court have?"
"It is not necessary to be a king, but the position of a prince is indispensable, otherwise it will be difficult to stabilize Song Jiang's ambition!!"
"This..." Zhao Ji heard this and said worriedly: "I can give him the title of Duke, but will Song Jiang let Gou'er and the others go because of this?"
Compared to a Duke, Zhao Gou obviously worried him more.
"Your Majesty, at this time, we should first send important ministers to discuss and find out what Song Jiang means?" Cai Jing said seriously at this time.
"Who can go??"
Everyone present was slightly startled and then lowered their heads in fear.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go." At this time, a slightly mediocre official in his forties stood up and said with a sigh.
When Zhao Ji saw it, it was Zheng Wangzhi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was immediately pleased and said: "Okay, okay, I will appoint Aiqing as the Qinchao ambassador, and rush to Jingdong. No matter what, I will bring Prince Kang back to me safely."
"yes!!"
. . . .
A few days later, in a huge military camp outside Jiangning Mansion, Zhang Shuye, who once besieged and killed tens of thousands of bandits in Huainan, hurried into the commander's tent. A slight cough immediately reached his ears, and Master Zhong said At this time, he was lying on the bed with a gray face.
"Uncle Ye, Uncle Ye"
"Old General" Zhang Shuye saw it and immediately ran to his side with tears in his eyes. The news that Jingdong's hundreds of thousands of troops had been wiped out had come. Zhong Shidao's already seriously ill body could no longer hold on.
"Tong Gong underestimated Song Jiang, and I, I also underestimated Wang Yin!!" Zhong Shidao held Zhang Shuye's right hand and said in tears.
"Old general, we will win," Zhang Shuye comforted.
"There is no chance. Wang Yin is also a natural-born general. I have used countless methods this month, but he will never leave Jiangning Mansion. Even if he sits and watches our army raid Hangzhou, he will not move at all. One day when he is here "Jiangning Mansion can't get it back," Zhong Shidao said tremblingly, "Jiangnan and Jingdong are in alliance. If we continue to fight, Song Jiang will definitely use a large army to threaten Bianjing. Once the imperial capital is lost, the entire Song Dynasty will be destroyed." That’s it”
"Return the army quickly and let Han Shizhong lead an army of 20,000 to stay. He is an unparalleled general. As long as he is here, he can definitely stop the Jiangnan bandits from crossing the Yangtze River and heading north!!" After Zhong Shidao said, he coughed violently again. Next, he said solemnly: "As for Jingdong, Song Jiang does not dare to fight, and he cannot afford to fight. I have already informed His Majesty, asking him to recall Brother Zongze. As long as he can serve again, he will definitely be able to save the building from collapse. Uncle Ye , you must try your best to help him!!"
"yes!!"
"Remember, never start a war haphazardly. Tell your Majesty that now, we can only endure. Only in this way will we have a chance to reverse the situation in the future." Zhong Shidao shed tears in shame.
"Old General!!"
"Hope God will bless me in the Song Dynasty!!" Zhong Shidao said with difficulty, then slowly extended his hand and fell down.
"Old General, Old General"
"Father!!"
"Old General"
In the military camp, there was soon a cry.
From then on, a generation of famous generals, Zhong Shidao, was worried about his illness and died of illness in the military camp at the age of seventy.
. . .
Two days later, in Jiangning City, Wang Yin with a serious face ignored the cheering sounds around him, but looked across the Yangtze River, murmuring with regret and respect in his eyes: "Old General, you have a good journey."
What Zhong Shidao didn't know was that the past month or so had been the most difficult period since Wang Yin led the army. There were countless times that he thought about giving up Jiangning Mansion. I don't know how many people even said that Wang Yin was disloyal. Unkind and unjust.
They were able to persist in this battle not because of him, but because of JD.com.
"General??"
"Immediately inform the Holy Duke of the news that Zhong Shidao has died of illness and that the imperial army has returned. At the same time, please send someone to contact Jingdong immediately. Now we need time to recuperate and restore people's livelihood, so we must stabilize the alliance more. We must not let it go Jingdong was dragged away by the imperial court," Wang Yin said seriously.
"yes!!"
Not long after the news of Zhong Shidao's death from illness spread back to Jingdong, in a remote small village, two envoys arrived. An old man wearing peasant clothes, with deep eyes and a white beard looked at the letter in his hand, Tears fell from his eyes, "Old General!!"
"The official family asks Master Zong to return to Bianjing immediately and take up the post of Privy Councilor to take charge of the overall situation!!"
The old man is none other than Zongze, a famous general from his previous life, and also Yue Fei's boss.
When Zongze heard this, his face suddenly condensed, "Let's leave now."
"Now??"
"Yes, right away" Zongze said seriously.
