At night, Cao Guo decided to play his last card.

He handed a letter and his personal sword to a messenger, saying:

Quickly deliver this letter to Li Gang and Li Aiqing and have them bring an elite force back to Hangzhou Prefecture.

Remember, anyone who obstructs you along the way can be dealt with first and explained later. Make sure it is delivered!

Meanwhile, Jin Wuzhu also received a letter from Qin Hui.

The letter indicated that Zhao Huan had already returned to the throne and Zhao Guo's food supply had been cut off. It was expected that in a few days, they would be facing a shortage of supplies.

As long as we hold on for half a month, the Song army will collapse without a fight!

Hahaha, excellent!

Jin Wuzhu and Wan Yanzongfu set up a feast in the city, preparing to celebrate in advance. However, at that moment, a messenger burst in, covered in arrow wounds and wearing tattered armor.

Re... Report, Your Highness, the Song... Song army... has launched a surprise attack on the capital. The Emperor has ordered an immediate reinforcement!

With a crisp sound, the cup in Jin Wuzhu's hand fell to the ground.
