Chapter 967 Good news for Wu Zhi, bad news for Cai Jing
When Zhang Han thinks about being with such people, he can't sleep at night and has trouble sleeping and eating!
"You said it, you said it!"
Zhao Kai grabbed Zhang Han's collar. At this moment, he completely forgot about the etiquette of being promoted to a royal disciple.
He was like a child who had his favorite toy taken away, and kept roaring and roaring!
At this time, there were hurried footsteps outside the door again.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, there is a battle report coming from Tokyo City!"
Although the sight of Zhang Han in front of him made Zhao Kai feel very angry, and he wished he could skin him right now.
But the arrival of the good news finally made Zhao Kai breathe a sigh of relief.
He raised his head high and pretended to speak out a word calmly.
"read."
The captain opened the battle report, his face turned red and he was extremely excited.
He almost read every word in the battle report clearly in one breath.
"Our army is victorious!"
"The loyal and brave general Wu Zhi led 30,000 Zhenshuishanzhuang soldiers, and together with the third prince of Liao, Xiao Yiqing, 20,000 Liao soldiers, they fought continuously for more than ten days and blocked the 250,000 Jin army from outside the city wall!"
"The loyal and brave general is resourceful and strategizing..."
This battle report is very long and full of nonsense. As soon as you hear the battle report, you will know that it was written by someone sent by Pan Yan.
There were words of praise for Wu Zhi in piles and piles, as if they were free of charge.
While the captain was reciting impassionedly, Gao Qiu next to him snatched it away.
I looked at every word above with disbelief.
"Impossible! How is this possible!?"
"A mere 50,000 people actually defeated the Jin Kingdom's 250,000-strong army and completely disarmed them!?"
"They actually cut off the food supply for the Jin people?"
"The general Wanyan Zongke of the Kingdom of Jin was killed by Wu Zhi himself!?"
"Jin, the Jin people have retreated!?"
"They actually retreated!?"
For the people of the entire Song Dynasty, this is great news!
But when it came to Gao Qiu, it turned out to be completely bad news!
Not only him, but Cai Jing next to him also had eyes twinkling.
Although he is not as bad as Gao Qiu, he cannot control his expressions and movements.
But the look of disbelief in his eyes still revealed the surprise in his heart.
According to Cai Jing's idea, after the Jin people captured Tokyo City, they would occupy Tokyo City for at least one or two months.
During this period, Cai Jing would use his own methods to push the deposed prince Zhao Kai to the throne of emperor.
Then, in the name of the emperor, he will negotiate with the Jin people again. He will also use this peace negotiation to fully unleash the power he has accumulated over the years.
By then, his plan will be fully implemented!
Restoration is just around the corner!
However, before Cai Jing could make any move, Wu Zhi had already repulsed Jin's army of more than 200,000 in just ten days!?
The content of the battle report has made it very clear that there are two main reasons why the Jin people retreated.
That is, their granaries were set on fire, and at the same time, because the Jin army penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, their channels for transporting grain had been completely cut off.
The amount of food consumed by so many people in one day is terrifying, and cannot be supplied by simply plundering nearby towns.
If the fight continues, the Jin people may starve to death first!
Another reason is because it was mentioned in the battle report.
After the death of Emperor Yelu Yanxi, Wu Zhi actually used the unborn child in Xiao Yiqing's belly to rekindle the spark of the Liao people.
Yelu Dashi, who is also a member of the royal family, led his troops to fight back from the grassland!
The Liao people and the Xixia people have joined forces and are now attacking Yanjing City!
Once the city of Yanjing is breached, the Jin Kingdom’s hundreds of thousands of troops will be attacked from both sides, and the entire army will be annihilated!
