"You came here with him from Fangzhou?"

"Exactly."

"How many soldiers did he bring this time?" Balisu asked with an almost dark face.

"We do have a hundred thousand troops," Zheng Zhichang replied earnestly. "Your Majesty can see it clearly from upstairs here, why would you need to ask a scholar like me?"

Balisu frowned for a moment and continued to ask: "How many of the 100,000 people are wearing armor?"

"Foreign ministers have always been accompanying the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and all they see are soldiers." Zheng Zhichang almost cried... He simply couldn't imagine that if Emperor Zhao knew that he had revealed military intelligence in this way when he returned, would he still be regarded as an international friend.

On the other hand, after asking some questions, Balisu also felt a little speechless, because he also realized that how could the other party, a Goryeo scholar who was good at writing poems and the so-called international friend, really know those specific situations?

So, he waved his hand to chase him away.

But at this moment, Wen Dunsizhong, who had been so proud all the time, suddenly seemed to be thinking about something. He took a step forward and smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng, how is the morale on the other side?"

"Of course everyone is excited." Zheng Zhichang was relieved when he saw that the man was not wearing armor. "To be honest, the Emperor Zhao came to the riverside in person just now, and some of the generals even asked to fight."

Wen Dunsizhong smiled slightly, then suddenly changed color: "You are by the side of the Zhao Song official, did you know that he has dispatched troops from other places here?"

After these words were spoken, Balisu and Wuzhu woke up at the same time and looked over with their hands behind their backs.

Zheng Zhichang's face turned pale and he hesitated for a moment.

"Block the west and take off his robe!" Wen Dunsizhong ordered coldly.

Zheng Zhichang was stunned. Although the Jurchens around him were surprised, they still followed the orders under the silence of King Wei and others... A team of armored soldiers lined up to block the west, and several other armored soldiers stepped forward to take out the man's hands and feet. They directly stripped the robe of the Goryeo minister and a great poet in public, leaving only his trousers on.

It was a warm spring day, but Zheng Zhichang, who had just woken up from a dream, felt cold all over... He just remembered that the Jurchens would arbitrarily kill ministers of other countries just because of a disagreement, and Li Ruoshui was a clear example.

As for now, what’s the big deal about just taking off clothes?

"Tell me the truth." Wen Dunsizhong sneered at him. "If you don't respond, I won't kill you, but I will take off your pants and carry you to the side of the building so that Song Renwen and Wenwu can see clearly..."

Zheng Zhichang was stunned, and then blood rushed to his head. The alternative fear caused by the shame in his heart actually overwhelmed the fear of death for a moment.

"Take it off!" Wen Dunsizhong gave the order directly upon seeing this.

The Jurchen soldiers on both sides first glanced at Wei Wang Wushu and the commander-in-chief Balisu, and seeing that they both frowned but did not stop them, they no longer hesitated... Two of them grabbed each other's limbs, and one of them stepped forward with a knife and slashed the other's pants from top to bottom.

"Yue Fei!" Zheng Zhichang shuddered slightly as he felt a cool breeze blowing into his crotch. He blurted out the answer amid the tug of the Jurchen soldiers on both sides, obviously unable to bear it any longer.

"What?" Wen Dunsizhong was overjoyed.

"Please give me some grace and let me down." Zheng Zhichang crossed his legs stiffly, his face flushed, and begged bitterly.

"You speak first!" Wen Dunsizhong immediately shouted.

"Even though your majesty has personally led a large army here, it still seems insufficient." Zheng Zhichang blurted out, responding hastily at an extremely fast speed. "Early this morning, a special decree was issued to have Yue Fei and Qu Duan, who had already captured Pingxia City, leave a few soldiers to defend the city, and then lead 30,000 people to rush to the rescue, regardless of being left behind. This meant that these people had to quickly return to the hinterland of Jingzhao and Tongzhou to prepare for the necessary backup, but they were not prepared to let Han Shizhong come to the rescue."

This is a reasonable arrangement... Didn't you see that Wushu had Wanyan run to this point just now? The Song people's actions were natural. Wanyan Wushu and Balisu looked at each other and nodded in a subtle and imperceptible manner.

“That’s a good thing.”

After a while, watching Wen Dunsizhong, who was carrying two Korean ginsengs, and the Koreans who had changed their clothes, return by boat, Balisu finally expressed his judgment. "Our combined forces have finally worked. Although the Song people in Hengshan are still reluctant to let go for a while, the withdrawal of troops from Pingxia City is enough to give the Xixia people a breather. When the three Wanhu of Longde Prefecture arrive here, I'm afraid Han Shizhong and Wu Jie will also give in a little, and the siege of Yan'an Huonu will be lifted... If this drags on, everything will be resolved."

Wushu nodded in a hurry: "But we must make a good gesture, not to let the other side get lucky, let Longde Prefecture speed up, don't worry about falling behind or losing people, the sooner the better, let Tuhesu speed up as well, don't expect him to break Pinglu City immediately, but we must fight Shao Yun as soon as possible... and then send a message immediately, let Huo Nu and the Xixia people know the news here."

There were others behind him who agreed one by one.

Just like that, not to mention how Wuzhu and Balisu acted, on the other side, Zheng Zhichang, who had experienced an embarrassing journey, returned to the west bank with great effort and just straightened his back. But for some reason, the closer he got to Emperor Zhao, the more proud he became. In the end, he even gradually became a little arrogant... This made Wen Dunsizhong who followed him marvel at it.

Moreover, the information that Wen Dunsizhong had just obtained using a despicable method was still not enough. It was that the Koreans were just guests in front of the Song people, and they lived on their face. They would definitely not dare to cry and ask the Song people to make the decision, so they had to follow the Koreans here again... After all, ever since this person's diplomatic job was snatched away by Wulin Da Zanmo, he has always lagged behind the other party. Even after the death of Nianhan, the Wulinda clan did not decline. Wulin Datai was still in power in the Eastern Route Army, and Wulin Da Zanmo and Wanyan Xiyin became the backbone of the capital province. Relatively speaking, although Wen Dunsizhong was gradually used because he was considered a direct descendant of the Wanyan clan, he could never surpass the other party.
