Wanyan Wushu set out in the middle of the night, ignoring the Yanyun New Army that collapsed and defected along the way. On the evening of the next day, when the Jin nobles evacuated to Gubeikou, he encountered Han Shizhong's Beiwei Army which was advancing rapidly.

After interrogating them, Cheng Min, the commander of the Beiwei Army of the Left Army of the Imperial Camp, was overjoyed. He did not even bother to advance north to Fan Yang to take over the surrendered troops. He just asked his lieutenant to continue northward, and he personally escorted Wanyan Wushu to Baosai to meet Han Shizhong.

After another day and a half of hard work, they arrived at Baosai, but Han Shizhong didn't know what to do with this man.

In fact, according to his temperament and spirit at that time, Marshal Han should have cut the man into pieces with the rusty dagger first, but the war had come to this point and Beijing was about to be captured. The Jin Dynasty, which had invaded the surrounding areas and was invincible and defeated Han Shizhong from the Hutuo River all the way to the Huai River, had actually disappeared from the concept as early as Huolu... So, it was not surprising that Han Shizhong felt a little discouraged at this time.

Besides, from a legal point of view, Wuzhu is still one of the two ruling princes of the Jurchens, and everyone knows that he has always been in charge of military and political affairs among the Song army. For the Song army, he is the number one figure, so it is not easy to deal with him without authorization.

Therefore, Han Shizhong only found the dagger that he almost threw away, wrote a note by himself, and asked Cheng Min to lead the team to escort the other party to the east to find Emperor Zhao, and let the emperor make the decision personally. As for himself, he went directly north to prepare to take over Yanjing and clean up the area for the arrival of Prime Minister Lu Yihao in the rear.

By the way, Zhao Jiu is not in Hejian now, but in Cangzhou.

Emperor Zhao did not follow the army to Yanjing but went to Cangzhou. People below had different speculations, but there were two mainstream theories.

Some people say that the emperor had long ago falsely claimed that he was Zhao Jiu of Cangzhou instead of Zhuozhou, the ancestral home of the Zhao family. Moreover, from Bai Ma to Wulin, there were many talks about establishing a new Song Dynasty to succeed the old Song Dynasty. I'm afraid that he had long had some intention of establishing a new sacrifice that was known to everyone. Today, he wanted to take advantage of this great victory to settle this matter.

Some people even maliciously speculated that news would soon come out that Shaolin Temple and Dongxiao Palace would have some excessive surprises.

In addition, some people speculated that the emperor wanted to make way for Prime Minister Lu, so that this prime minister who was resentful of Yanjing could get what he wanted, enter Yanjing first, and then do whatever he wanted... He didn't want to steal the limelight from Prime Minister Lu.

Both statements make sense. In fact, Zhao Jiu did have these two considerations, but at the same time, he had another clear and direct, simple and ordinary reason... This official just wanted to go downstream and see what the Yellow River estuary looked like in this era.

The three branches of the Yellow River flowing north reunite in Hejian Prefecture, and then flow northward and eastward to the sea from the northern border of Cangzhou. This last section of the river flowing into the sea actually passes through the border between the Song and Liao countries due to strong artificial factors, so it is also called the Boundary River.

Zhao Jiu was waiting for Wanyan Wushu on the Cangzhou side at the so-called end of the boundary river.

To be more specific, the fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty was actually met in Nigu Village, which was more than ten miles away from the estuary.

The meeting between the two was unusually calm, even too calm.

Zhao Jiu received the message and turned back from the estuary. When he returned to Nigu Village, Wanyan Wushu had already been tied up on the rammed earth platform in the center of the military camp. After being searched, he knelt directly at the end of the platform. The sword and dagger he carried with him, along with Han Shizhong's note and the description of the origin of the sword by the attendant Tai Shi Nu, had already been placed on the table under the dragon flag at the other end of the platform.

Then, Zhao Jiu also sat behind the desk under the dragon banner.

He flipped through Han Shizhong's note in front of him, and looked at the story about the Yue Fei-Wanyan Wushu Caopo Nianli incident that the attendant had learned from Tai Shi Nu, then put it aside and turned to look at the Yellow River on one side without saying a word, and did not even look at Wanyan Wushu.

To be fair, if Zhao Jiu wanted to talk, he certainly had countless things to say. If he wanted to see, he could also walk up and take a closer look.

After all, the person opposite him was Wanyan Wushu, the fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty.

Yue Fei, Wanyan Wushu and Qin Hui were the representative figures of this era.

This is not just caused by some legendary novels... Let's go back to Wushu... Whether it was the ten years that Zhao Jiu personally experienced or in another time and space, this fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom was the actual pillar and military and political commander after the death of the veteran generals who founded the Jurchens. All the wars between Song and Jin, all the diplomacy between Song and Jin, and all the confrontational strategies between Song and Jin, could not avoid this person, or it can be said that this person was the military and political leader of the Jin Kingdom against the Song.

From this perspective, he can even be called Zhao Jiu's main opponent in the past ten years, even though there were Nianhan, Lou Shi, and Wuqimai.

Because among these people, no one has such a strong representativeness and presence in this war as Wanyan Wushu.

Emperor Zhao could have asked the other party what the scenery of Bagua Mountain on the Huai River was like that day and whether he had taken a close look at it.

When you withdrew your troops from Nanyang, what did you, Wanyan Wushu, think of Wanyan Talan?

When Yaoshan collapsed, did you see Wanyan Loushi's charge clearly?

Do you still remember Han Chang?

Have you forgotten Puluhun?

Do you know Zhang Yongzhen and Hou Dan?

Do you regret retreating under the Yinshan Mountains that day?

Did you know that Wanyan Wolun wanted to disguise himself as a pawn to escape, but was reported on the way, and the outcome of the last Wanhu in the Battle of Huolu was already clear?
