Before Cao Gou could sense the changes, Qin Hui, using the name of the former emperor Zhao Ji, issued an edict to several border generals.

Many of these generals were promoted by Zhao Ji and took a wait-and-see attitude during this coup.

After all, the battles were all internal affairs of the Zhao family. Why should we take risks and choose sides?

Whoever wins, I'll follow.

That was the sentiment of most of the commanders.

But Cao Gou didn't act rashly even after discovering the secret message from the Jin Dynasty.

Because no matter what the situation was, as long as they defeated the Jin soldiers in front of them and recaptured Kaifeng, all problems would be solved...

At this time, Jin Wuzhuo ordered his general Wan Yan Yinshu to lead five thousand iron cavalry to investigate the strength of the Song army.

The Song army's main camp was extremely empty, with hardly any troops.

After killing more than a hundred Song soldiers, Wan Yan Yinshu hurriedly returned with a few mourning clothes and burial items.

Faced with the "mountain-like ironclad evidence," Jin Wuzhuo believed that even if Emperor Zhao and the Song court had not died, their days were numbered.

Immediately, he ordered the entire army to mobilize and chase the Song army for a thousand li!

After the Jin soldiers chased for more than eighty miles, Yinshu suddenly found himself surrounded by the Song army.

Countless torches lit up all around.

From the crowd, a golden-armored general stepped forward.

Emperor Zhao Gou of Song is here. Rebel, why don't you dismount and surrender?

Yinshu was shocked and speechless: You... you're not dead?

If I'm not dead, why would you be willing to come out of the city to fight?

There's an ambush, quick, retreat, retreat!

At this moment, a general flew out of the formation and blocked his way. It was Han Shizhong.

In this battle, Wan Yan Yinshu was killed.

Jin Wuzhuo barely held his ground and retreated while fighting.

The two armies fought for seven or eight days, and in the end, out of the 150,000 Jin soldiers, only over 30,000 returned to the city of Kaifeng.

Unfortunately, Jin Wuzhuo was not captured!

Next, they could only forcefully attack the city...

There was a strong city blocking them in the front, and rats causing trouble in the rear court.

Looking at the military report sent by his subordinates, Cao Gou felt his head spinning.

But Han Shizhong had a satisfied expression: Your Majesty, don't worry. Our army annihilated 100,000 enemy troops in one battle, and the remaining enemy troops can only hide behind the city walls like frightened mice. Let's surround them for half a year, and I guarantee they won't fight but surrender!

Even half a year seems too long. They probably won't last half a month...
