But I didn't expect that these water jets would continue to erupt, causing most of the Jin Soldiers' crossbowmen to be unable to draw their bows. Many Jin Soldiers' rafts even began to sink due to too much water.
After all, these golden soldiers were all from the north and did not know the nature of water. When they saw the raft sinking, they were naturally frightened and began to jump onto the rafts of other soldiers nearby.
However, these temporary rafts were originally light in load-bearing capacity. After gathering too many soldiers, they inevitably continued to sink.
This caused these golden soldiers to start a complete chaos.
Upon seeing this, Wanyan Yuanyi knew that the battle could no longer go on, so he hurriedly ordered his troops to retreat.
But at this time, in order to escape for their lives, who would listen to Yan Yuanyi.
For a time, the Jin soldiers themselves were in chaos, and the Jin soldiers' rafts gradually began to sink one by one.
Xu Xian, who was waiting on the island, also knew that at this time, it was time to finish.
"Don't spare any of these Tatars tonight!"
"Everyone, get on me!"
So Xu Xian gave the order.
The soldiers of the Song army who could swim took the lead in jumping into the lake with swords, while those who could not swim took boats and began to encircle and suppress the Jin soldiers who were already in chaos.
After a brutal fight, all the elites of the Jin Kingdom were killed in Juchao Lake, and Wanyan Yuanyi also became a prisoner of the Song people.
This battle naturally boosted the morale of the Song army instantly.
At the suggestion of a group of soldiers, Xu Xian immediately led the Song soldiers to counterattack the Jin soldiers' camp on the shore of Juchao Lake.
However, when the attack reached the Jin camp, Xu Xian found that there was no trace of the Jin soldiers here, so he had to temporarily stop the attack.
"Prime Minister!"
"Did these Tatars get the news and escape in advance?"
"Otherwise we will definitely be able to take advantage of the situation and annihilate this elite Tatar army, so that the Tatar emperor can no longer pose a threat to our Song Dynasty!"
"Oh, I didn't expect these Tatars to be very smart!"
Yu Yunwen came to Xu Xian at this time.
"As far as I know, Tatars will never be so smart!"
"It seems that there must be a master among the Tatars commanding them!"
"It's a pity that we don't have the chance to annihilate these Tatars today!"
Li Xianzhong also seemed to be unwilling.
After all, the plan that Xu Xian and Li Xianzhong carefully planned was to lure all of Wanyan Yuanyi's main forces to pursue them, and then use the Song army's proficiency in water warfare to completely annihilate Wanyan Yuanyi's army.
As a result, although the Tatar general Wanyan Yuanyi was captured, it did not cause greater damage to his strength. Naturally, he felt a little upset.
"correct!"
“Didn’t the Tatar Emperor appoint a new national advisor recently?”
"This national master is Monk Fahai, the evil monk who once lived in the Song Dynasty. This monk has quite a lot of virtues!"
"Could it be that the demon monk Fahai came and ruined our plan?"
At this time, Xu Xian suddenly remembered Monk Fa Hai whom White Snake had reminded him before.
At this moment, a golden soldier was suddenly brought to Xu Xian.
"Are you Xu Xian, the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty?"
"Our Imperial Master asked me to come over and deliver a message to you!"
"If you want to save that big green snake, you must let go of our Minister of War, General Wanyan Yuanyi!"
"Otherwise, in three days, that big green snake will be personally sent to Bianjing by our Imperial Master for medicinal purposes!"
Before Xu Xian could ask, the golden soldier spoke loudly to Xu Xian.
"What did you say?"
"The demon monk actually dares to use Xiaoqing as medicinal material?"
"Go back and tell Monk Fahai!"
"Just say that I can take Yan Yuanyi's life in exchange for Xiao Qing, but I must ensure that Xiao Qing is not harmed in any way!"
When Xu Xian heard the news about Xiao Qing, he was naturally very excited and quickly agreed to this Jin soldier.
"How could our prime minister, regardless of the survival of the country, agree to trade Wanyan Yuanyi, whom we worked so hard to capture, for a big snake?"
"yes!"
"If we bring Wanyan Yuanyi back to the court and present it to His Highness the Crown Prince to intimidate the Tatar Emperor Wanyan Liang, it will be of great benefit to our overall fight against the Jin Dynasty!"
"So we can never agree to the Prime Minister exchanging Wanyan Yuanyi for a mere green snake!"
"Yes!"
"I cannot agree with the Prime Minister's decision!"
"We have to go in and see the Prime Minister!"
"The Prime Minister must have his own reasons for saving that big green snake!"
"Generals, listen to me, let's trust the Prime Minister!"
"When did we not trust the Prime Minister?"
"But the Prime Minister is now acting so selfishly and regardless of the safety of the Song Dynasty. We really cannot accept it!"
"We must go to the Prime Minister and ask questions at this time!"
"Otherwise we will never leave!"
"Never leave!"
But after the Jin soldiers returned, when Xu Xian was setting up his tent to rest, he was awakened by a sound of "chirp" outside the tent.
Xu Xian listened carefully and found that these generals were actually objecting to his replacement of Wanyan Yuanyi for Xiaoqing, and he also knew that this matter would be very difficult to handle.
If I don't handle it well, I'm afraid these people will no longer obey me, but will go to Jiankang to sue Zhao Shen. My position as Minister of War and Prime Minister will definitely be lost, and the great cause of resisting the Jin Dynasty will be hopeless.
Moreover, Xu Xian had already offended the current emperor Zhao Gou. If he loses the prestige in the hearts of the generals at this time, the consequences can be imagined.
But for Xiaoqing, how could Xu Xian not save Xu Xian herself?
At this time, Xu Xian knew that among these generals, perhaps only Li Xianzhong was the most worthy of his trust, so he could only do one thing and the other.
"If you have anything to say, just come in and say it!"
"Don't make any noise outside!"
So Xu Xian shouted outside.
Afterwards, all the generals crowded into the tent where Xu Xian was.
"I know that everyone has doubts about my decision today!"
"But since the Prime Minister commanded the army to fight, has the Prime Minister ever suffered a defeat?"
Xu Xian naturally took the lead first.
"The Prime Minister organized two major battles and defeated the Tatars both times. There was no such thing as a defeat!"
Some generals began to respond.
"good!"
"Since you all know that the truth has never been defeated, why do you still question the truth?"
"I'm telling you!"
"The truth is that all decisions were made for the Song Dynasty, and heaven and earth can learn from this!"
"If you think I have selfish motives now!"
"The original prime minister will leave Huaixi immediately, return to Jiankang, submit his resignation to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and will no longer participate in money matters!"
"As for the Huaixi matter, from now on, we will leave full power to Yu Zhongshu and Li Xianzhong!"
Xu Xian's attitude was obviously very determined.
After saying that, he placed the Huaixi command seal in front of Li Xianzhong.
"Prime Minister can't do it, Prime Minister can't do it!"
"Now the overall situation of fighting against gold cannot be without you!"
"Can't live without you!"
When Li Xianzhong saw Xu Xian like this, he immediately panicked and knelt on the ground to beg for help. This chapter has been completed!
