The soldiers escorting Wang Ce untied him. Zong Ze clasped his fists and said, "General Wang, I know you surrendered to the Jin out of necessity. The Khitan were a brother nation to the Song. Now the Jurchens have humiliated our Song and destroyed your nation. Out of loyalty and loyalty, we should work together to avenge our humiliation."
Wang Ce burst into tears and said, "Master, your words are very true. However, my lord has been captured by the Jin people. We have no face to stand between heaven and earth. I only ask Master to grant me death."
Zong Ze sneered, "What a coward! General Wang, why don't you surrender to the Song Dynasty? One day, we can capture the Jin lord Wanyan Sheng alive and avenge the loss of our country!"

Wanyan Zonghan, feeling unhappy after being reprimanded by the emperor, added, "We must also dispatch troops to Zhongjing as quickly as possible. Yue Fei might have already attacked Zhongjing by now."
Jin Wushu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my men to help Zhongjing."
Wanyan Sheng also knew the strategic location of Zhongjing, so he nodded and said, "I will give you 10,000 cavalrymen to rush to Zhongjing's aid."
