Qin Hui's guess was right.
After Zhao Gou's letter of credence was delivered to the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Emperor did not know if he had sent troops to plunder.
However, he did not hesitate to admit that he was the one who had sent people to rob them.
This was because he knew that many tribes in his country often went to the Song Dynasty to plunder.
Perhaps this time, it was the people of some tribe. He was already used to it.
Not only did the Jin Emperor admit that he was the one who had looted, but he also arrogantly said to the envoy sent by Zhao Gou,""This is only the interest for your attack on Bianliang. If the Song Dynasty still doesn't beg for mercy, I will definitely send an army to attack Bianliang again!”
When this news reached the Song Dynasty, it immediately ignited a huge uproar!
Lin 'an!
Hall of Honesty.
Zhao Gou told everyone about the Jin Kingdom's reply!
Han Shizhong, the envoy of the Bureau of Military Affairs, immediately said sternly,""Official, the Jin Kingdom has provoked us time and time again. This time, we must retaliate!”
Qin Hui, who advocated peace, complained endlessly. He did not expect the Jin Kingdom to use such fierce words. Now, he was in a very difficult position.
He knew that Zhao Gou didn't care about the money!
What he cared about was that his face had been refuted. If he jumped out to oppose not fighting, he would definitely be hated.
Thus, he could only remain silent. When the other people of the peace faction saw that he, the leader of the peace faction, was silent, they also kept their mouths shut.
For a moment, the only sound in the court was Han Shizhong's demand for a strong war!
"Minister Han, who do you think I should send to attack the Jin Kingdom?”
Zhao Gou looked at Han Shizhong with a scrutinizing gaze.
Han Shizhong pondered for a moment and was about to say something.
Zhang Jun, who was standing beside him, suddenly stepped forward and looked at Zhao Gou confidently."Official! I request to fight!"
"You?"
Zhao Gou looked at the confident Zhang Jun and asked,"I remember that you led an army of 100,000 and were defeated by Wanyan Wu in the end, right?”
“.............”
Zhang Jun didn't expect Zhao Gou to embarrass him in public.
However, he thought that Yue Fei had already been defeated by Wanyan Wu of the Jin Kingdom. If he did not get some merits, he would be suppressed by a junior.
He could only grit his teeth and look at Zhao Gou." I'm willing to make a military pledge. If I don't get back my dignity for the officials this time, I'll bring my head to see you!"”
Zhao Gou looked at Han Shizhong in confusion. He still didn't believe Zhang Jun.
Han Shizhong thought about it and realized that other than Zhang Jun, Yue Fei was the best choice.
However, since the officials did not even mention Yue Fei, they probably did not want to use him at all.
Helplessly, Han Shizhong could only say to Zhao Gou,""Official, General Zhang's is actually not bad!”
Hearing this, Zhao Gou finally made up his mind and said loudly,""Zhang Jun, listen up. Immediately mobilize 100,000 soldiers and prepare to set off for the Jin Kingdom. We must take down a Jin Kingdom city! Tell the Jin Dynasty that the Song Dynasty is not so easy to bully!”
Han Shizhong was still a loyal subject!
After some thought, he said to Zhao Gou,"Official, we still have to let the King of Xiangyang prepare in case the Jin Country counterattacks!”
"Yes…"
Zhao Gou's face twitched when he heard Yue Fei, but he could only say in consideration of Han Shizhong's face,""Privy Han, I will send someone to pass down the decree!”
He did not want to say too much, and gestured for the eunuchs beside him to quickly leave the court.
After the eunuchs called for the court to retreat, the ministers bade farewell to Zhao Gou.
In the middle of October, Zhang Jun, who was the center of attention, led 100,000 soldiers to the Jin Kingdom to prepare for the siege.
However, the Jin Kingdom seemed to have been prepared for this. Three hundred thousand troops poured into the Song Dynasty from the Jin and Song borders.
All of a sudden, the border cities were in a state of emergency. Zhang Jun could only run around the border like a firefighter, constantly providing support to the cities.
Xiangyang County.
Inside Yue Fei's mansion.
Yue Fei and Jia Xu were chatting about this matter. They did not expect that just by pretending to be a team of Jin soldiers, they would provoke Jin and Song to fight again.
Jia Xu looked at Yue Fei and said," I finally understand. Zhao Gou regards his face as extremely important. He doesn't feel that he has lost his land!"”
"But after robbing his personal belongings, he prepared an army to attack the Jin Kingdom. It was really difficult for the people of the Song Dynasty to meet such an emperor!”
Yue Fei did not say anything.
An old voice suddenly came from outside the door."King of Xiangyang, this old man has come to see you!”
"Privy Han?"
Yue Fei looked at Jia Xu in confusion and immediately went out to welcome him.
Jia Xu had no choice but to follow Yue Fei to welcome him. However, the moment he stood up, he muttered,"This old man is here. Looks like there's trouble again!”
"King of Xiangyang, you're too polite.”
Han Shizhong said to Yue Fei in a loud voice.
"Privy Han is too serious. This is what Pengju should do!”
Yue Fei helped Han Shizhong to sit down in the hall and asked in confusion,""May I know why the Bureau of Military Affairs has come this time?”
"King of Xiangyang, this old man has come with the imperial edict of the official family!!”
Han Shizhong took out the imperial edict and handed it to Yue Fei,""As you know, Zhang Jun and his 100,000-strong army are no match for the Jin army's invasion!”
"No way!"
"General Zhang is still capable!"
Yue Fei responded politely while opening the imperial edict curiously.
There were not many words in the imperial edict. Yue Fei, who finished reading it quickly, could not help but frown.
