After another day or two, good news came from Tangzhou and Yingchang Prefecture. Although the various independent armed forces there did not come forward to agree, as Liu Ziyu said, they had no reason to refuse, but they were mostly hesitant and waiting. I think, as Han Shizhong and Wang De quickly led their troops to approach there, perhaps they should make up their minds.

However, on such a day, on the morning of March 8th, Emperor Zhao was playing chess with his new minister Liu Ziyu and discussing the matter of "Tuduan" when he suddenly saw an unexpected minister.

"I, Hanlin scholar Lin Jingmo, greet the emperor!" Xiaolin, panting and pale, was ushered in by Lan Gui, the chief guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As soon as he saw the emperor, he bowed his head and said something shocking. "When I arrived in Biyang, Tangzhou, I received news that Fan Zhixu was terrified in Nanyang and took the initiative to ask the monk Zongyin stationed in Wuguan to rescue him. As a result, Zhao Zongyin led thousands of soldiers out of the pass and was easily defeated by a small army of the Jin army in the northwest of Nanyang. Zhao Zongyin knew that he had committed a serious crime, so he did not return to Wuguan or go to Nanyang, but fled to Xiangyang to join Fan Qiong! Wuguan has most likely been lost!"

Under the eaves, Zhao Jiu held a chess piece in his hand and remained silent for a while, but he was not angry at all.

"So... Nanyang is not safe?" Liu Ziyu, who had already stood up and avoided Xiaolin, blurted out. "Because this time the Jin army can take Nanyang without any worries, and then return to Guanxi from Wuguan at ease."

Zhao Jiu still didn't say anything, but felt a little powerless... What could he say?

Han Shizhong, Zong Ze, Liu Ziyu, and even himself and other people in the imperial court had tried their best. The breathless scholar Kobayashi had even taken the risk before. However, they still could not withstand a demon-like monk.

"Your Majesty!" Scholar Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment, but still managed to speak again. "Liu Yan went to Ruzhou in the north to find General Han... He asked me to come back and tell your Majesty to be careful that the Jin army will not go to Nanyang, but will take advantage of the situation to take Ruyang! Because now that the Jin army has a retreat in the west, the previous arrangements to cut off the Jin army's retreat in Ruzhou and Yingchang Prefecture in the north are a burden."

Emperor Zhao suddenly raised his head, but surprisingly he did not look too flustered: "I understand."
