As for Zhao Jiu, although he was rescued, he surprisingly didn't say much.
Just like that, everyone dispersed. No one mentioned the cheers and excitement from Xia Caicheng, Bagua Mountain, and the navy on the Huai River when they saw the Jin army retreat. They only said that in the evening of that day, after Zhao Jiu had dinner, he first looked at the lights of the Jin camp on the opposite bank under the dragon flag, pondered for a long time, and then went back to the tent to rest. However, he lay there for a quarter of an hour, and finally could not suppress the doubts in his heart, so he got up temporarily and called Yang Yizhong to the couch.
"Zhengfu!" Under the light, Zhao Jiu, wearing an outer robe, sat upright on the couch, looking serious. "Who do you think is right about Jin Wushu's withdrawal of troops?"
"I am just a humble servant, and it is not my place to discuss this matter..."
"This is a matter of military strategy, don't delay!"
"I think what Zhongcheng Zhang said makes a lot of sense!" Yang Yizhong was slightly startled. "I agree with what Commander Han said yesterday, but when Jin Wushu really started to withdraw his troops today, I was confused for a while, but Zhongcheng Zhang made me suddenly enlightened... I really didn't think of anything other than military strategy before."
Zhao Jiu nodded slowly: "So, if Han Shizhong's remarks yesterday were actually not wrong from a military perspective? He had no selfish motives, or was he jealous of Yue Fei and Zhang Rong's military achievements?"
Yang Yizhong quickly shook his head: "I just said that my views happen to be similar to those of Han Tongzhi, I dare not say that I am not wrong."
Zhao Jiu hesitated for a moment, but still spoke in a serious tone: "Call Zhang Jun, Hu Yin, and Lin Jingmo, and the four of you follow me to the water stronghold at the foot of the mountain. I want to find Han Shizhong in person and ask him clearly!"
Yang Yizhong was obviously startled: "Sir, the Jin army has retreated anyway, why bother about this?"
Zhao Jiu stood up and answered while getting dressed: "The most frightening thing in the world is the word 'seriousness'. Is it the same thing to retreat when you can or don't retreat, or to retreat because you have to retreat?"
Yang Yi Zhong had no choice but to go out and call for help. The eunuch of some waiter level standing nearby also hurried forward to help Zhao Jiu put on his clothes.
After a moment, Emperor Zhao came out and met the four people in front of the gate of the small village on the top of the mountain. However, the four people with different thoughts went directly to the water village at the foot of the mountain at night to meet Han Shizhong.
It has to be said that it was probably a traditional skill for General Han to bring his wife with him to accompany the army. Then when he suddenly heard that the emperor had arrived, he had to flee in a panic, which was even more helpless... Who made Emperor Zhao always go to find important ministers in the middle of the night?
All I can say is that this is where the imperial court is, so Emperor Zhao doesn't have to disguise himself as an envoy and wait for Han Shizhong to come out and scare him.
Or rather, this time he walked in, sat down, drank a sip of tea, and then grabbed the other person's hand to scare him:
"Good minister, today, Yutang scholar Lin Jingmo and Zhongshu Sheren Hu Yin have impeached you, saying that your words yesterday were just jealous of Yue Fei and Zhang Rong, and were selfish. In fact, the Jin army will inevitably retreat after the battle of Liangshanpo... Tell me the truth, stand up straight and speak! Was your words yesterday based on public judgment, or was it selfish nonsense? Is the retreat of the Jin army inevitable or inevitable?"
Han Shizhong was held by the Emperor Zhao, so he could only turn around and look at Xiaolin Xueshi and Hu Yin angrily. However, seeing that both of them had blank expressions and seemed to be thinking about something, he was helpless and could only hold his waist and say earnestly to Zhao Jiu in front of him:
"Your Majesty! Please know that since I have this jade belt, I have not cared about any official position. Who is Yue Fei? He is just a small town governor whose name I have never heard of before. Is he worthy of being jealous of me? What I said yesterday was fair! The sudden withdrawal of the Jin army today was beyond my expectation!"
Zhao Jiu nodded slowly...he believed it!
