With the supply of food from the southern prefectures and the full support of Zhao Fujin, the wish to cross the river to the north seemed much easier.

It was at this time that everyone realized that it was not that the Song army was incapable of fighting, but that they had never had the opportunity to fight freely before.

Now, without the endless shackles of civil officials and the weak and powerless court, once there are sufficient conditions to liberate ourselves, my Song Dynasty army will still be a fierce tiger!

In early May, Zong Ze led a large army to take a detour and first recaptured the Hedong and Hexi areas. Then, across the Yellow River, he successfully formed a tug-of-war with the Jin army.

The war eased slightly at this time. Wanyan Zongmou, who had already returned to the Jin Kingdom, heard the news that the Song army was advancing like a hot knife through butter as soon as he dismounted from his horse. Therefore, he had to put on armor and go into battle again.

Before he could even catch his breath, he once again forced Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong, who had become increasingly feminine and charming, to head south.

However, even Wanyan Zongmou himself did not expect that he would fall off his horse and die due to the long-distance raid before he even reached the edge of the Yellow River front.

It was because he had a weak mind and was bewitched by the Peach Blossom Evil day and night. By the time he returned to Jin from the north, his energy and body had been almost drained.

Originally, if Wanyan Zongmou could recuperate well in the Jin Kingdom for a period of time, he would be able to hold on for a while.

Unfortunately, the Song army, which was coming with great momentum and was determined to recover the country's territory, would not give him the opportunity at all.

Because of this, he fell off his horse during the march, and was eventually trampled into a pulp by the mounts of his confused generals who were unable to control the reins due to the rapid march.

It can be considered an alternative way of dying on the battlefield, but it is not very glorious.

The Jin army, heartbroken by the death of their commander, continued their march in mourning. On the way, at the suggestion of Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong who were trying hard to save their lives, they kept releasing the news that "the Song emperor is in the hands of our army. If the Song people dare to disregard the life of the Song emperor and continue to resist, they will be traitors" in an attempt to control the Song army which was becoming more and more courageous.

Fortunately, Zong Ze and others had already fully understood the boss Zhao Fujin's intentions, and they all told the "truth" with their eyes open, insisting that their two previous emperors had died heroically for their country on the day the capital was captured.

Therefore, the two white-faced actors who have survived in the Jin army until now are just two puppets pushed out by the Jin army.

——Everyone, please don’t be fooled! This is all a conspiracy of the Jin Kingdom!

This is the benefit of preparing the cenotaphs for the two late emperors in advance.

No matter how the Jin army spread the news, no one in the Song Dynasty would believe it. Instead, they became even more upset because they were using the names of the two previous emperors to cause trouble.

He is so brave when fighting!

Now, Emperors Huizong and Qinzong have become completely useless.

Just let him go, impossible!

Just kill him, I won’t accept that!

Keep raising it, it's a waste of food!

The Jin army was so worried about what to do with these two people that they were almost going bald.

It was not until they heard the news from the outside world and learned that they had been completely ruined at the official level that they decided to take the first brave step in order to save their lives - selling their beauty.

Of course, whether they were beautiful or not is another matter, but the Song army did not recognize them, while the Jin army recognized them as emperors.

Since ancient times, has there ever been an emperor who voluntarily sold himself to survive? What do you think?

So, you know what, under the stimulation of this identity, this eunuch father and son were actually quite popular in the Jin army.

They spent the whole day feasting, reveling, singing and dancing. Even though they had lost all sense of shame, they had also learned how to dance gracefully and beautifully on the edge of a knife.

It is said that in the end, the two even developed a strange sense of comparison, as if whoever's patron had a higher status would have their own status rise accordingly.

She looks just like a prostitute.

It’s just that most prostitutes are forced, but these two are willing!

Let’s not talk about these two troublesome things for now. By mid-August, Yue Fei, who had been promoted to the commander-in-chief, completely took over the troops under the double-dealing Wang Boyan, and rushed all the way and successfully crossed the Yellow River.

He and Zong Ze, one the main and one the auxiliary, fought against the Jin army head-on and forced it to retreat 300 miles.

Afterwards, Yue Fei personally led 7,000 people to attack the Jin army from the flank at night, went straight into the heart of the enemy, and completely destroyed the Jin army camp!

That night, countless Jin soldiers threw away their weapons and armor and fled overnight.

In the spring of the following year, the elderly Zong Ze personally led the horse for Zhao Fujin and brought the princess back to the city of Dongjing which had finally been recaptured by the Song army.

A whole year of non-stop fighting almost drained the old man's body. He already had a head full of white hair, but still looked energetic.

He trotted along holding the reins, and it looked as if he could compete with the horse to see who ran faster.

After a year, the Tokyo City, which had just returned to its homeland, still looked devastated. However, as long as everyone looked at Zhao Fujin standing on the city wall, they would feel at ease.

They believed that under the leadership of Princess Maude, the Song Dynasty would be unified, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun would be taken back, and the city of Bianjing would surely regain its former glory!

At this moment, it is no longer about the emperor and his subjects, and it is not restricted by gender.

For this group of military generals whose minds are filled with fighting, whoever can provide them with supplies, whoever can fully support them in going to the front line, and whoever can give them complete trust, will be a good monarch.

Only those literati felt jealous, but no matter how jealous they were, they were always the ones who could see the situation most clearly.

After all, those who couldn't see the situation clearly had either completely merged with the chicken flock or had become fertilizer for the flowers in the Yingtianfu Palace.

At this moment, Zhao Fujin's prestige in the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty has reached a level that no one else can match... Well, perhaps only if Zhao Kuangyin were reborn could he barely have a chance to fight.

Because, although she was not the one who founded the country, she was the only one who stood up when the country was in shattered pieces, picked up the pieces of the country that had been cut into pieces, and glued them together again.

It is a great fortune for Song to have such a gentleman in the country.

The morning sun gradually rose, and Zong Ze stared at the slender but upright figure in front of him, his eyes full of pride.

I am proud that I was born in the Song Dynasty, and even more proud that the Song Dynasty has Princess Maode.
