Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 711 Jin Wuzhu: I didn't lose, and neither did the King of Qi, so who lost? [1st Update]

"military adviser……"

When Jin Wuzhu returned to Huanglong Prefecture and saw Hami Chi waiting for him outside the city, he almost dropped his little pearl.

"Your Highness..."

Hami Chi didn't rush into the city with Jin Wuzhu, but instead pulled Jin Wuzhu into a small pavilion by the roadside:

"Your Highness has won a great victory, why are you so dejected?"

If anyone else had said those words, Jin Wuzhu would have immediately launched a fierce attack, but Hami Chi was no ordinary person.

Jin Wuzhu asked with a bitter expression, "Is the strategist making fun of me?"

"I took away 200,000 Jin warriors, but only brought back 140,000 or 150,000. How can I claim a great victory?"

He then recounted the entire incident to Hami Chi in great detail.

Hami Chi chuckled and waved his hand after hearing this:
"Your Highness cannot calculate it that way. First of all, Your Highness has already successfully conquered the entire territory of Liao, which has achieved the purpose of our military expedition."

"Secondly, Your Highness's direct attack on Tokyo and killing of the Southern Barbarian Emperor will cause chaos in the Song Dynasty!"

"Firstly, the King of Qi has ambitious plans in Hebei and Shandong; "
Secondly, defeated Liao generals took the opportunity to cause trouble in the Song Dynasty.
"Thirdly, it's still unknown who will become the next emperor of the Southern Barbarians..."

"We only need to take this opportunity to annex the Liao Kingdom, recuperate, and conserve our strength, while watching the Song Kingdom fall into internal strife."

"When the right opportunity arises, Your Highness can lead your troops south and take over the Song Kingdom with ease."

"Furthermore, Your Highness has taken over six prefectures in the Song Kingdom and supported the two major forces of Zhang Bangchang and Song Jiang."

"They are like a dagger we have planted deep in the heart of the Song Dynasty. We can send troops to Tokyo at any time."

"Doesn't this mean Your Highness has won a great victory?"

Jin Wuzhu, who had been drooping like a wilted eggplant, perked up immediately after hearing what he said:

"So, does this mean that our side has won a resounding victory?"

Hami Chi said decisively, "A resounding victory!"

Jin Wuzhu beamed with joy: "That's good! That's good!"

"In fact, it all comes down to the strategist's brilliant planning!"
"If it weren't for the strategist's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and if the King of Qi were in the Central Plains, this mission would have been difficult to succeed!"

"Hahaha! I've finally made King Qi lose once!"

"King Qi did not lose..."

Hami Chi shook his head with a wry smile: "If I'm not mistaken, the Dali Kingdom must already be in Qi Wang's hands."

"Moreover, the Southern Barbarian Emperor is dead, and there are Liao soldiers causing trouble within the Song territory, as well as Zhang Bangchang and Song Jiang establishing their own independent regimes, and a new emperor has not yet ascended the throne..."

"This period has been incredibly favorable for King Qi."

"If he has ambitions to become a king or a tyrant, he has a lot to achieve during this period and may gain even more than we have..."

"what?"

Jin Wuzhu was taken aback: "So, the King of Qi didn't lose either?"

Hami Chi said confidently, "We didn't lose!"

Jin Wuzhu asked, looking completely bewildered, "I didn't lose, and neither did the Prince of Qi, so... who lost?"
"Oh! Yelü Hui! Zhao Ji!"

Hami Chi laughed heartily: "Those two families lost, but we and King Qi weren't the only ones who won..."

"Alright, Your Highness, it's time for us to enter the city and see the Wolf Lord."

"The Wolf Lord will surely bestow great rewards upon His Highness."

Jin Wuzhu laughed heartily, "Let's go together!"

……

"Privy Councilor Tong, Junior Minister Wang, Grand Commandant Su..."

Crown Prince Zhao Huan, looking utterly miserable, asked Tong Guan, Wang Fu, and Su Yuanjing:

"We've been on the run for three days and three nights, where are we going to run to?"

Tong Guan sighed: "Your Highness, the 500,000 Jin soldiers are unstoppable, and the surrounding prefectures are powerless to resist!"
"The only thing we can do now is to go to Yan'an Prefecture and seek refuge with Master Zhong!"
“Zhong Shidao commands the Western Army, which has been fighting against the Western Xia for a long time and is a formidable force that can be relied upon!”

Junior Chancellor Wang Fu also said, "The Grand Chancellor is right. We will be safe once we reach Yan'an Prefecture!"

Grand Commandant Su Yuanjing echoed, "That's right!" Zhao Huan had no idea of ​​his own, so he could only listen to Tong Guan, whose words did indeed make sense.

"Alright, let's go to Yan'an Prefecture then!"

Zhao Huan agreed. Of course, what could he do if he disagreed?
"Your Highness is wise!"

Tong Guan was very satisfied; this was actually a kind of karaoke.

On the run, he taught Zhao Huan to obey his every word.

Over time, Zhao Huan will come to regard him as his pillar of support, and even as his second parents.

When Zhao Huan was the crown prince, he urged Zhao Huan to succeed to the throne in Yan'an.

If Zhao Huan becomes emperor, wouldn't he essentially become the retired emperor?

The plan goes through!
……

"Grand Tutor Cai, Grand Commandant Chen, Grand Commandant Duan..."

Prince Kang, Zhao Gou, asked Cai Jing, Chen Zongshan, and Duan Chang with a distressed expression:
"We've been on the run for three days and three nights, where are we going to run to?"

Cai Jing sighed: "Your Majesty, the 500,000 Jin troops are unstoppable, and the surrounding prefectures are powerless to resist!"
"The only way forward is for us to cross the Yangtze River and use its natural defenses to resist the Jin army!"

Qin Hui, the headmaster of the Imperial Academy, understood the implied meaning from the sound of the music: "Grand Tutor, isn't your son serving as the prefect of Jiangzhou?"
"How about we go and seek refuge in Jiangzhou?"

Wow, you've got a quick mind!

Grand Commandant Chen Zongshan quickly added, "Jiangzhou has plenty of soldiers and provisions, a large population and abundant resources. It's a perfect place for Your Majesty to stay!"

Zhao Gou had no idea of ​​what to do, so he could only listen to Cai Jing, but Cai Jing's advice did seem reasonable.

"Okay, let's go to Jiangzhou then!"

Zhao Gou agreed, but of course, it wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Cai Jing was very satisfied; Zhao Gou was fifteen years old, just the right age for a CPU!
He could train Zhao Gou along the way, and once they arrived in Jiangzhou, he could train Zhao Gou to be like a dog!
Although Zhao Gou was not the crown prince, it would have been easy for Cai Jing to help him ascend the throne.
After this catastrophe in Tokyo, I'm afraid few princes survived. If Zhao Gou ascends the throne, he will be the legitimate ruler.

Once Zhao Gou became emperor, he truly held absolute power in the Song Dynasty!

Cai Jing glanced at Qin Hui: This kid is a good prospect; if there's a chance, we can cultivate him.

Qin Hui sensed something, turned his head and met Cai Jing's gaze, and immediately put on a fawning smile.

Cai Jing nodded in satisfaction, and decided to give the kid a ride in his SUV along the way, to make him his lackey.

……

Tokyo.

"Woooooooo..."

Zhao Yupan, Zhao Jinnu, Zhao Jinluo, and the other young princesses wept bitterly in the mourning hall...

That's horrible!
It wasn't just Emperor Huizong who died; many empresses and concubines also perished!

Even princes such as Prince Yun (Zhao Kai), Prince Su (Zhao Shu), Prince Jing (Zhao Qi), Prince Ji (Zhao Xu), Prince Yi (Zhao Yu), and Prince Xin (Zhao Zhen) died!
In addition, the whereabouts of other princes, such as Crown Prince Zhao Huan and Prince Kang Zhao Gou, are unknown, presumably having also fallen victim to the Jin army.

The Song Dynasty is doomed!

Zhao Yupan, Zhao Jinnu, and Zhao Jinluo had to cry even more, as their husbands' families had also died.

They not only became princesses of a fallen kingdom, but also widows.

In other words, they've run out of options, and who knows if a change of dynasty will happen next...

"You don't have to worry."

Cai Fu comforted them, "I'm here for you..."

"As for Xiao Jinzi, we can support you for the rest of your lives!"

"Brother-in-law—"

"Brother-in-law—"

A group of princesses surrounded Cai Fu, weeping bitterly...
