Jiankang.
Prime Minister Zhang Jun did not know what had happened at all?
What he knew was that the Guan family had disappeared.
There was a high chance that one of them had run away in advance.
Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun's men had left the encampment.
Including the troops guarding Chuzhou, there was no trace of them.
Many people suggested to him.
"Mr. Zhang, let's leave quickly!
Those bastards must have fled south when they saw that the situation was not good!
Perhaps this was a large-scale operation by the golden men!”
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, quickly retreat.”
The fog of the battlefield shrouded Zhang Jun's head this time.
Everything was in chaos!
The order he issued was not answered at all.
The people in Jiankang City were in a state of panic, and there were refugees everywhere.
What could civil officials like them do at this time?
They couldn't go to the front line to see what was going on like generals.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
Zhang Jun wanted to wait for the battle report from the front line, but the surrounding civil officials were all terrified.
He wished he could immediately bring his men and flee south!
"Mr. Zhang, we can't wait!
I already said that those martial arts practitioners were unreliable, but now it's fine!
At such a critical moment, none of them replied!”
"If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
All of them talked at once, making Zhang Jun dizzy.
For a moment, he had no idea. He didn't know what to do.
The current situation was completely beyond his ability to deal with.
"Then, then let's retreat for the time being and see the situation.”
He was surrounded and moved towards the south.
However, they had just left the city for more than ten miles when the military report from the front came.
It was written that the government led an army to kill 100,000 enemies!
Seeing the latest military report, the civil officials could not help but be shocked.
Many people cried.
"It's over, the entire army has been defeated!
It must be a rumor from the Golden Men!"
Someone squatted down.
"Yes, the golden man must have lied to us!”
The civil officials did not believe him and immediately surrounded Prime Minister Zhang Jun as they fled south.
Killing 100,000 enemies was already ridiculous enough.
Or is it the government leading the army?
You can't lie with your eyes closed!
None of the civil officials believed this battle report.
They were more willing to believe that the Jin people had already arrived at Jiankang.
Lin 'an might even fall.
"Retreat quickly!"
This was what all the civil officials thought.
In just one day, they had already walked over a hundred miles.
It was as if they had returned to ten years ago, when Bianjing fell and they fled south on a large scale.
However, when they stopped at the roadside relay station.
More and more detailed battle reports kept coming from Jiankang.
There was a beginning and an end to what was said, and it looked a little real.
Prime Minister Zhang Jun was a little uncertain. Did they really win?
The civil officials temporarily stopped moving south and began to send people to gather information.
Soon, they received the news that the officials had returned to Jiankang.
Moreover, the frontline seemed to have won.
Liu Chan even sent them an edict.
The general idea was:
"I am fighting to the death at the front, why did you flee first?”
At the relay station.
After reading Liu Chan's edict, Prime Minister Zhang Jun felt powerless.
This time, it could not be said that he was incompetent as prime minister.
It could only be said that it was completely useless.
He actually fled south with his men?
Most importantly, the officials did not run away this time. They did.
Whose face could bear it?
The civil officials in the relay station all blushed.
The older ones wished they could just bump into him and kill him.
How could they have the face to face the officials?
The younger ones felt ashamed.
The soles of his feet seemed to have dug out a big house with three entrances and three exits.
"Why didn't you tell us that you were going to Han Shizhong's camp?
"In this way, we can also know in advance and not be so flustered.”
Someone said embarrassedly.
However, at this moment, it was useless to say anything more.
Prime Minister Zhang Jun seemed to have aged ten years as he sighed.
"Everyone, let's return."
"Yes."
The civil officials replied weakly.
In their hearts, they still blamed the officials.
Running away isn't a traditional skill of the Old Zhao family. Why didn't you run away this time?
If we were the only ones running, it wouldn't look good.
……
Jiankang.
Liu Chan sat on the dragon throne and looked at the civil officials kneeling below.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he wasn't in a hurry to get them up.
On the right, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and the other generals stood with their heads held high.
After all, this was an unprecedented victory.
Killing 100,000 enemies was not an exaggeration.
Among them, the most valuable were the tens of thousands of corpses of the golden men and the three thousand captives.
Since the start of the war, they had never captured so many golden men!
Even Yue Fei couldn't do this.
"Everyone, please rise."
Liu Chan said slowly.
"Xie Guanjia."
The civil officials got up from the ground, but all of them lowered their heads.
It seemed that he did not dare to look at the official on the dragon throne.
Including Prime Minister Zhang Jun, he no longer had his usual high spirits.
At this moment, he stood respectfully below, not daring to have the slightest bit of arrogance.
If he had simply lost, Zhang Jun would not have ended up like this.
The most embarrassing thing was the sentence in Liu Chan's edict.
"I am still fighting to the death, why are you fleeing first?”
His words slapped their faces to the ground.
After a while, Prime Minister Zhang Jun sighed and cupped his hands.
"Official, I request to resign from my official position."
Liu Chan looked surprised." Why do you want to resign?"”
Obviously, he did not intend to let him off easily.
Helpless, Zhang Jun could only expose his wounds.
"In this war, I was unable to properly manage the situation.
The second crime is that people's hearts are unstable and they cannot stabilize the four directions.”
After a pause, his lips trembled.
"The battle situation is unclear. The front line is fighting and fleeing at the last moment.”
This sentence made him use up all his strength.
Zhang Jun no longer had any hope. His career should end here.
Unexpectedly, Liu Chan just shook his head.
"I forgot to tell everyone about this trip.
The main reason was that he was afraid that the plan would be leaked and the spies of the Jin people would know.”
He might as well not say anything.
The civil officials lowered their heads even more.
It was fair to say that there might be spies from the Jin people in the civil officials 'group.
However, these words were not wrong.
The surrendering party inside indeed had a secret connection with the golden men.
If Liu Chan had said it in advance, Wanyan Wushu might have known in advance.
Perhaps they would lose out in the war.
"We, we are guilty!"
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Zhang Jun, the civil officials knelt on the ground again.
"Alright, everyone, please rise.
This time, I won't pursue your crimes and make up for it for the time being.”
Liu Chan wanted to clear out the court, but now was the time to use people.
Yue Fei and Han Shizhong could still fight, but they had to deal with government affairs.
If you want to change, you have to plan slowly.
"Thank you for your grace!"
Zhang Jun thanked him bitterly.
Of course, Liu Chan wouldn't just sit back and do nothing.
"Where is Zhao Ding now?"
Hearing this, the civil official could not help but be surprised.
A few months ago, Zhang Jun's position was this one.
He did not expect the former prime minister to be reinstated so quickly.
Zhang Jun knew that this was used to check and balance him.
He was absolutely unwilling, but the situation was stronger than him, so he could only lower his head.
"Official, Zhao Ding is in the Shao Xing Manor."
Three days later.
Zhao Ding appeared in the court once again as the Right Prime Minister.
After making a series of arrangements, Liu Chan could not help but relax.
It had been a long time since he visited Lady Feng.
Her hands were really soft!
