However, Zhao Shen will never listen to him.
So Shi Hao was left with the last bit of luck in his heart-can there be a genius who can recruit good warfare like Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty to turn the tide?
If possible, all problems will be solved.
However, there is no if in reality.
On April 10th, news came from the north that the 20,000 imperial troops who fought against Song Jun in the former north were also defeated, and the Chinese army continued to deepen in the pursuit of the main force and had conquered Liyang.
Chapter 73 This war can’t go on.
Hearing the news that the army was further south, Zhao Shen was frightened and immediately sent someone to ask Zhao Mi to speed up his trip to Huzhou to defend Huzhou.
Then came the news on April 20th that Lishui County had been lost.
Zhao Shen was even more shocked and once again sent someone to warn Zhao Mi that he could not let Huzhou lose.
The news came on April 22nd that Yixing County had fallen.
On April 24, the news came that the army and Song Jun’s down archers fought in Hufu Town, and Song Junjun was defeated and fled. About 30,000 troops of Zhenjiang garrison and imperial army were annihilated. The main generals Wu Chao, Wei Tang and Guo Yu were captured, and the army won a great victory, which threatened Changxing and Huzhou.
A succession of bad news made Zhao Shen stunned, and he became impatient and uneasy every day, and he became haggard every day.
Once the army arrived near Huzhou, it was less than 200 miles away from Lin ‘an.
The infantry can reach the cavalry in four days if they travel a little faster, and even faster in one or two or three days. If they are completely fast, they can reach Lin’ an in one day regardless of running around the clock.
Now the key point is Huzhou Huzhou must never lose, otherwise the ministers will really let him consider leaving Lin’ an to take refuge
Otherwise, the situation will be the same as that in Kaifeng City. If the army comes to do the same thing again, it will be over.
It’s really over
"Huzhou must not lose! Send someone to tell Zhao Mi that I want him dead if he dares to lose Huzhou! ! And what does the king of Jiankang House do? Liu Yong was defeated. What about him? He has seventy thousand horses! What to eat! Find him! Find him! ! ！”
Zhao Shen growled and once again sent someone to North Huzhou to warn Zhao Mi to let him carefully weigh Huzhou.
At the same time, Zhao Shen wants to know what’s wrong with the king of Jiankang House. What happened to the army of Jiankang House after Liu Yong’s defeat?
Zhao Shen knows nothing and wants to know everything.
And has been looking at Zhao Shen Shi Hao secretly sighing on the steps in the temple.
The news is getting worse these days, and the state of Zhao Shen is getting worse every day.
His face is pale, his feet are vain, his eyes are deep, and I don’t know if he is still lingering in the gentle countryside. He is worried about state affairs and sleepless nights, and he can’t discuss the military with his ministers day and night, so he has tossed himself to this point.
It is Zhao Shen’s worry and fatigue that can’t solve the problem of Song Jun’s rout.
The army has won more and more victories, and Song Jun has been defeated like a mountain. In the end, even the defeated troops were chased by the army and eaten by the army.
So far, the Jianghuai war zone in Song Jun has been defeated by the army through the land and water lines, and tens of thousands of troops can’t stop an army of tens of thousands of people. The south is about to hit Lin’ an.
This seems to be the same as the Jin and Song Wars. A large number of troops could not stop others, and a small number of troops were beaten into the humiliation of the capital city and lost together.
What is even more ironic is that Kaifeng, the legal capital of the Great Song Dynasty, is still a trip to Lin ‘an. The Southern Song Dynasty still called Kaifeng, where the tombs of the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were located, and the capital called Lin ‘an.
In order to show his determination to recover his homeland, the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty once hoped that Zhao would build a comfortable residence, but Zhao Gou did not recover his determination to restore the Central Plains and retreated to Hangzhou, the capital of Hangzhou.
Zhao Gou, the queen of the state, wanted to completely abolish the legal form of Kaifeng’s division of capital, determine the sphere of influence of the Southern Song Dynasty and the state, and strive for friendship from now on.
It is said that the Southern Song Dynasty officially abandoned Kaifeng’s capital, changed Lin ‘an Prefecture to Tianfu and officially confirmed the capital clause among the former Zhao Gou and the countries that signed the treaty.
However, due to Chen Kangbo’s strong opposition at the drafting stage and his revelation of this matter, many people of insight in the DPRK protested and people talked about it, which forced Tang Situi to give up this clause.
Later, Tang Si’s retreat showed that he was resentful and drove Chen Kangbo out of the central government with a few moves.
However, it doesn’t make sense, whether it’s the line or the capital emperor, where is the actual capital.
Seeing that the front of the army is sharp, it is one step away from threatening Lin’ an. What else can be done to stop the army in the Song Dynasty to hope to turn the situation around?
Twenty thousand imperial troops were sent in advance, and Zhao Mi brought thirty thousand people, which is already the only mobile force left in Lin ‘an, and it is impossible to send more troops.
In addition to protecting Zhao Shen, it was necessary to defend the troops and fight to defend them, but also to stay in Lin ‘an. His troops have been sent abroad.
For example, it is necessary to guard against the threat of the sea and build a land defense force. There are 20,000 naval forces and Zhao Gou took away more than 10,000 elites when he escaped.
Lin’ an’s trained troops have dried up. At this moment, even if we want to expand our troops, there is no training. Uzbekistan has no advantage except for its large number. It is meaningless to this war to increase the loss of food and grass
Shi Hao sincerely hopes that Zhao Shen can see the reality, stop the war and take the initiative to negotiate peace.
Shi Hao looked around and looked at the sad faces of his ministers. He thought that these people should feel the same way. They all knew that it was impossible to win this war and they had to talk.
But who dares to tell the truth about Zhao Shen’s irritable situation at this time?
Shi Hao seems that even if Zhao Mi holds Huzhou, what can he do?
It’s a foregone conclusion that Song Jun will lose its troops. It’s a foregone conclusion that the army in Jianghuai Theater will be wiped out. Holding Huzhou is to leave a pair of underwear for Dasong. Other than that, it doesn’t make sense.
If you can’t even keep Huzhou, and the army is in Lin ‘an City, then Dasong really doesn’t even have underwear, and everything will come to light.
Is it not good to make peace now?
But in this case, Shi Hao will not choose to speak in public, just as he understands Zhao Gou’s early experience, and he also understands Zhao Shen’s situation and mood.
On this day, Shi Hao took the initiative to inquire for Zhao Shen and was received by Zhao Shen.
When Shi Hao met Zhao Shen, Zhao Shen was indifferent to a plate of delicious food, holding chopsticks in his hand, but he wanted to eat chopsticks from each plate, but his appetite disappeared
He hasn’t eaten well for several days and has no appetite.
The most unattractive thing is that I ate a bowl of rice, food and soup from morning till night except drinking water, soaked and stirred, and quickly swallowed one or three meatballs to fill my stomach.
If he is in a good mood, he can eat whatever is simple in front of him, but if he is in a bad mood, he can’t eat even delicious food.
Shi Hao naturally knew what the reason was and made a respectful salute before he left.
