Chu Prefecture (Huai An).
Han Shizhong's camp.
Battle reports came from Shouzhou and Jiankang.
Han Shizhong stood in front of the map and stared at it for a long time.
If Jiankang was the center, the Huaixi Army was on the upper left.
On the upper right were his and Zhang Jun's front and middle camps.
"Report!"
Another piece of bad news came from outside.
It was confirmed that Wanyan Wushu's 50,000 cavalry had appeared near Shouzhou.
At this moment, Shouzhou seemed to have become a bottomless pit.
No matter how many reinforcements were sent, they would be crushed.
However, the importance of the door made them have no choice but to save it.
Han Shizhong's subordinate couldn't help but come forward and cupped his hands.
"Handsome Han, we can't send more brothers over.
There was no city to defend, and the golden men were all cavalry.
No matter how many people go to Shouzhou, no matter how many people die!"
"Yeah, Handsome Han, we can't send more people over.”
Han Shizhong understood everything the general said.
The 50,000 gold cavalry almost made the nearby Song army lose all thoughts of providing support.
"Sigh, Shou Prefecture has already been defended for more than ten days. How long can they hold on?”
Han Shizhong looked at the location of Shouzhou on the map and sighed.
Li Qiong's ability to defend for so long was completely beyond his expectations.
However, the enemy was several times stronger than them, and there were also the golden men eyeing them covetously.
No matter how he looked at it, there was no hope.
"Handsome Han."
Someone suddenly stepped forward and whispered.
"This subordinate heard that the Guan family is no longer in Jiankang.”
As soon as he said this, everyone could not help but be in an uproar.
What, the official ran away again?
It was unexpected but reasonable.
It was not the first time the officials had run away these few years.
All the generals present had escaped from the north back then.
"There is such a saying."
Han Shizhong didn't hide anything. He had only heard the news last night.
The official was missing.
No one could kidnap an official from three layers of guards, so he could only leave on his own.
"He's really gone!"
After confirming it, the generals couldn't help but be in an uproar.
Although he could understand it rationally, he was still a little dissatisfied when he heard this news.
They were fighting to the death at the front lines, but the government was doing well.
Running away at the drop of a hat.
"In that case, why don't we cut off the escape route of the puppet Qi and the Jin people?
At that time, we will have an explanation."
"That's right. With the logistics cut off, how long can they fight?”
Everyone was talking at once. They didn't want to throw their own people to Shouzhou to die.
Send out a few teams of cavalrymen to harass the logistics of the Qi army.
At that time, it would be enough to deal with the imperial court's transfer order.
"Cutting off the logistics is a good idea.
Li Yi, tomorrow you will lead three thousand cavalrymen to attack. You must be careful.”
Han Shizhong wasn't Yue Fei, who was willing to exchange his men for his life.
Since the officials had already run away, they would stop them by staying still.
As for Shouzhou and Huaixi Army, he would let them fend for themselves.
"Understood!"
After receiving the order, the other party cupped his hands and left to prepare.
The Jin people would definitely send cavalrymen and infantry to escort the supplies, and attacking by force would definitely not work.
However, burning a few granaries and attacking them in the dark was something that three thousand people could do.
At night.
Han Shizhong returned to his bedroom and lay on the bed, exhausted.
His wife, Liang Hongyu, asked someone to bring him some water to wash his feet.
"Can Shou Prefecture still be saved?"
"If we can't go, we'll just be courting death.
Wanyan Wu could not compare to the veteran of the Jin army, but the 50,000 cavalry were not to be trifled with.
With fewer people, the sheep would fall into the tiger's mouth.
When the time came, they would fail to rescue Shou Prefecture, and the former guards would be defeated first.”
Han Shizhong closed his eyes to rest and chatted with his wife.
If he relied on Chu Zhou and other cities, he was confident that he could fight against the fake Qi Jin people.
However, if they were to fight in the wild, with the addition of tens of thousands of Yue Clan soldiers, they would have a chance of winning.
He could only hope that the puppet Qi and Jin people would retreat as soon as possible due to their lack of logistics.
"Master, Master!"
Just as Han Shizhong was dozing off, a shout came from outside the door.
He said impatiently after being woken up.
"What's the matter?"
"There are many people outside the residence who want to see you.”
"Who is it?"
"They all look unfamiliar, but their ostentation is not small.
Please wait in the front hall.”
Han Shizhong lifted the blanket in a huff.
After putting on her clothes, she walked over angrily.
He was still thinking that if there was nothing serious, he would definitely teach the person who disturbed the dream a lesson!
"Who's looking for me!"
Han Shizhong walked into the front hall and shouted.
However, he was dumbfounded after venting his anger for less than three breaths.
As if he couldn't believe his eyes, Han Shizhong quickly stepped forward to take a closer look.
He knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Guan family."
Sitting on the main seat was Liu Chan, who had been missing for a few days.
Due to the rush, his face looked a little tired.
"Please rise, Minister Han."
Liu Chan raised his hand, gesturing for him to get up.
"Official, why did you come to Chu Prefecture?
If there was an order, just send someone to deliver it.
How could he risk his precious body?”
Han Shizhong confirmed it several times. His appearance and tone were indeed that of an official.
At first, he thought that he was dreaming, but the pain from kneeling down just now made him even more clear-headed.
And the deputy commander Yang Yizhong who was standing beside him confirmed it.
The Head of the Palace had always been responsible for the safety of the Emperor.
"Minister Han, I came here to ask you a question.”
Liu Chan asked seriously.
"If the official asks, I will tell you everything I know.”
Han Shizhong cupped his hands.
"Han Shizhong, can I trust you?”
Han Shizhong's mind was a mess.
This question was easy to answer. He definitely had to say yes.
However, the government took such a big risk and rushed hundreds of miles from Jiankang.
She couldn't possibly do it just to hear him say that he was right.
After thinking for a moment, Han Shizhong seemed to have figured something out.
He made up his mind and knelt on the ground again.
"Official, you can trust me.
The guards in front of the camp will listen to any of your orders!”
Liu Chan nodded.
"Leave behind the troops guarding the city. The rest of the troops will move out and head towards Shou Prefecture!”
Sure enough, it was just as Han Shizhong had guessed.
He frowned and advised.
"Official, Li Qiong might not be able to hold on.
Perhaps Shouzhou will fall before we reach it.”
Liu Chan turned around and looked in the direction of Shouzhou.
"Li Qiong promised me that Shouzhou would not be lost.
And I intend to fulfill my promise and send reinforcements!”
After a pause, Liu Chan continued.
"I don't want to, and I can't, abandon any general or any troop.”
While he was hesitating, he thought of his father.
If Liu Bei was in his position, what choice would he make?
If Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was still here, what choice would he make?
After thinking this through, Liu Chan no longer hesitated.
"Guan family."
Han Shizhong's heart was suddenly hit hard by these words.
It had been so many years, but this was the first time he had heard such words from the mouth of an official.
Song Huizong, Song Qinzong.
Everyone knew what Song Gaozong had done before.
If the monarch treats his subjects as his own hands and feet, then the subjects treat the monarch as their confidants!
If the monarch treats the courtiers like dirt, the courtiers treat the monarch like enemies!
The fact that Liu Chan had taken the risk to come to Chu Zhou meant that he was not just pretending.
He was really unwilling to give up on Li Qiong and the Huaixi Army!
How could Han Shizhong not wish to put himself in his shoes?
If he was in Li Qiong's situation, the officials would have the same reaction.
Which general wouldn't want to have such an emperor?
The embers that had been extinguished in his heart were ignited again by Liu Chan today.
A fire burned in Han Shizhong's heart.
"Yes, General!"
