As dusk fell, when Yue Fei successfully joined up with the main force led by Zhao Fujin and Zong Ze, they had already suffered thirteen rounds of attacks from the Jin army.

It’s just that, thirteen battles, thirteen victories!

(The beaten Jin army: You are talking nonsense! We were guarding here, roasting lamb legs and drinking wine, and you broke into our camp for no reason!)

On the evening of the third day, Zong Ze, who had completely recovered the entire Kaide Prefecture in just three days, sat in a chair, inexplicably doubting his life.

What did he promise to Princess Di before?

It seems to be saying... he can recapture Kaide Prefecture within ten days?

Although three days are indeed included in the ten days, but... then again, isn't this a bit too fast?

I've never fought a war this fast in my life!

Was it because he underestimated the combat capability of his own army, or because he underestimated the changes brought about by Princess Maude?

Marshal Zong thought about it for a whole night and pulled out a handful of his beard. Then everyone realized that the old boss' attitude towards the young princess had become more respectful.

At this moment, in the heart of this old minister, he was full of hope for restoring the former glory of the Song Dynasty... no! The idea of ​​unifying the entire China again!

At the same time, when the news that the army led by Zong Ze recaptured Kaide Prefecture in three days spread, it not only gave a strong shot in the arm to the Song Dynasty, which had been suffering setbacks since the first year of the Jing Kang period, but also made his official superior, Prince Kang Zhao Gou, very disgusted.

Especially since he first received the imperial edict with the imperial seal, full of threats, and from his fifth sister, whom he never took seriously.

After hearing the outside world's crazy praise for her unpredictable military skills, Zhao Gou's face became even uglier, just like the miserable look he had when he was frightened.

Of course, he didn't think that his sister, who had no other abilities except her face, could have such an amazing military achievement, but this seal was real...

Therefore, after discussing with the think tank around him, Zhao Gou successfully came to a conclusion, which is -

Zong Ze finally became dissatisfied with the situation that he had been suppressed by him. Coincidentally, the treasure of the Song Dynasty was lost outside and somehow fell into his hands. So, this man simply moved out Princess Maode, who had also disappeared.

He used the imperial edict as an excuse to challenge his superior!

Yes, Zhao Gou didn’t believe at all that Zhao Fujin, who was now in Kaide Prefecture, was the real Princess Maode.

Zhao Gou, who was not brave enough to deal with external forces but was particularly good at inciting internal strife, believed that all this was Zong Ze's conspiracy.

Therefore, not only did he not dispatch troops as stated in Zhao Fujin's imperial edict, but when Zong Ze's troops moved to Caozhou and won a great victory, he directly tried to deprive Zong Ze of the right to continue leading the troops in his capacity as the Grand Marshal of the Army.

The person who came to issue the order was Huang Qianshan, a well-known capitulationist who was of the same ilk as Zhao Gou. He had more than 20,000 soldiers under his command.

Before coming, Zhao Gou had already discussed this with him. If Zong Zeyuan just handed over his military power obediently, that would be the end of it.

If you don't want to... then Huang Qianshan's 20,000 men will come in handy!

There is an old saying that goes, although we cannot defeat the Jin people, can we not defeat our own people? ?

Zhao Gou took this sentence as his life motto.

However, with Zhao Fujin stationed here, one can imagine what kind of "good" ending Huang Qianshan, who traveled thousands of miles to deliver not only vegetables but also troops, would have.

With the troops brought by Huang Qianshan, Zong Ze instantly felt that his back was straighter.

He had 36,000 men under his command. Poor old minister, he had never fought a battle with such abundant manpower in his life.

After all, everyone knows the character of the Song Dynasty.

In order to prevent these military generals from becoming self-reliant and emphasizing civil affairs over military affairs, they were also particularly stingy in every war, and the welfare benefits were extremely poor.

In other words, now is the time when the country is about to be destroyed and the family is about to be ruined. In the past, they had to fight while relying on themselves to find food.

It's so funny. Under normal circumstances, there is no military rations at all.

Even if there are, they will be exploited from top to bottom.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Zong Ze was so excited. He was so excited that he wanted to go to the surrounding area to swipe another wave of Jin soldiers to cool down the enemy at night.

However, to be honest, although the final result was good, Zhao Gou's move still successfully offended Zhao Fujin.

Since she is not happy, how can she let the culprit Zhao Gou continue to live happily and carefree?

Especially when I heard that the bastard had successfully escaped from Daming Prefecture to Yingtian Prefecture, and that he was making some hints or explicit statements to his subordinates every day, saying things like "A country cannot be without a king for a day".

What he was thinking could be guessed from the withered flesh of Emperors Huizong and Qinzong, who were forced to die in an honorable manner.

Therefore, after thinking about it, that night, after briefly mentioning it to Zong Ze, Zhao Fujin ordered Yue Fei, who had been promoted to Wu Yilang, to lead a team of a thousand people and head directly to Yingtian Prefecture.

Watching Princess Maude's murderous carriage driving away, Zong Ze stroked his long beard and silently lit a row of candles in his heart for Zhao Gou who was about to be in big trouble.

It is true that he was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but Zhao Gou was not his emperor.

Zong Ze is a very simple and unpretentious person. Whoever holds the imperial seal and has the destiny will be his monarch. Whoever can reverse the current terrible situation will be his monarch.

Then, it is obvious that Zhao Gou absolutely does not meet Zong Ze's inner standard of a good monarch.

Therefore, for this rubbish boss who not only cannot help him but also has to hinder him everywhere, Zong Ze has only four words to express in his heart: He deserves to die!

After rushing all night, seven days later, Zhao Fujin successfully arrived at the city gate of Yingtian Prefecture...

Because Zhao Gou refused to open the door for her.

It was not known whether he was feeling guilty or afraid, but after he saw Zhao Fujin's face clearly on the city gate, he hurriedly closed the gate.

(Zhao Gou: "That's just a joke! No one told me that the fifth sister could really live that long!")

As soon as he saw the thousand-man army that was charging towards him with such momentum, and then looked at his expressionless sister, and thought about the treasure of the Song Dynasty that was 100% genuine...

The clever Zhao Gou immediately backed down.

Of course, he is the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

However, he is not a complete coward this time. He is hiding just to buy time. Once the reinforcements arrive, he will be able to regain his confidence and be himself again!

When that time comes, he will imprison (kill) the fifth imperial sister and get the imperial seal. Then, let’s see who dares to disobey him and become the new emperor!

Regarding Zhao Gou's idea, Zhao Fujin had only one word to express her inner feelings:...Haha.
