On September 27, Zhang Jun left the city...to meet Yue Fei.

The negotiations between the two sides went very smoothly. Yue Fei promised to submit a report to Chang'an to ask for credit for them and ensure that they were promoted and promoted.

"My only requirement is that you can stay in Lianghuai and help us quickly stabilize the prefectures and counties of Lianghuai." Yue Fei said sincerely, "You are more familiar with Lianghuai. With your help, my army can get a steady stream of food and grass and military sources, which will help us quickly capture Jianghuai and force the southeast."

Zhang Jun was overjoyed and agreed immediately. Yue Fei gave him the credit. As long as he did it, it would be equivalent to climbing up the big tree of Yue Fei. With Yue Fei's status in Chang'an, his career will definitely be smooth, and the days of prosperity will be just around the corner.

On the 28th, Zhang Jun presented the city, and the tiger lieutenant army was not bloody and successfully recovered Yingtian Prefecture.

On October 1st, Yue Fei led his army to continue south.

＝＝

Zhe Kecun led his army to fight in succession, captured most areas of Yangzhou, Gaoyou and Zhenzhou, and repeatedly threatened Jiangning.

Yuwen Xuzhong and Wu Min tried every means, but the old emperor and Tong Guan of Hangzhou held the Southeast Army tightly and refused to let the Southeast Army cross the river to support it. Most of the troops in the Jianghuai area were temporary local troops, and they were not opponents of the Hu Lie Army at all. What made Jiangning angry was that the chiefs of these prefectures and counties were worried that the Jianghuai would not be protected, so they would rather dispatch troops to escort their families and their property across the Yangtze River than to throw the army into the battlefield. This led to the Hu Lie Army being invincible in the Jianghuai area and never encountered strong enemies from beginning to end.

In mid-September, Lu Yi led his army across Huai to the south. When Zhe Kecun heard the news, he took the initiative to go north to fight. The two sides met in Shiliang Town, northern Yangzhou. Lu Yi knew that Zhe Kecun had a horse army in his hand and did not dare to fight. At this time, Zhang Jun hurriedly told Lu Yi that the Tiger Lieutenant Army had wiped out the Shandong Jin army at the Wanting battlefield. The situation was extremely unfavorable to the southeast. Please be careful on the battlefield in the Jianghuai.

Although Lu Yi was shocked, he had crossed the Huai River and was far away from the Central Plains. There was also Yingtian Mansion behind him to block the main force of the Huli Army, so he was not in a hurry and continued to confront Zhe Kecun.

A few days later, Lu Yi received a letter from Jiangning.

Yuwen Xuzhong learned that Hangzhou issued an order to dispatch the main force from Yingtian Prefecture to move south. It is estimated that Yingtian Prefecture will definitely not be able to defend it. This southward army is probably the only remaining army in the Huaihe River that can fight against the Tiger Lie Army. The news of Yongqiu's defeat has been sent to Hangzhou. Once the old emperor and Tong Guan learned about it, they will be ordered to continue to retreat south, and it may even be allowed to retreat across the Yangtze River and guard the Yangtze River defense line. Therefore, Yuwen Xuzhong hurriedly sent someone to send a letter to Lu Yi, ordering them to enter Yangzhou to fight. At the same time, he will send a navy army to cooperate to fight north and south, and drive the Tiger Lie Army out of Yangzhou to relieve the dangers of Yangzhou and Jiangning.

After reading this letter, Lu Yi ignored it. The old emperor and Tong Guan were both in Hangzhou, and most of the officials of the court were also in Hangzhou. Now the power center of the Southeast Song Dynasty has actually moved to Hangzhou. The remaining guardian of the imperial court in Jiangning is a decoration and has no effect.

A few days later, the navy sent someone to send Tong Guan’s secret letter.

Tong Guan was extremely angry at the defeat of Yongqiu. He scolded Yuwen Xuzhong, Wu Min and Zhang Jun so hard that they were bleeding, and he wanted to eat them alive. Xin Xingzong, Wang De and the 80,000 main force handed over to the Hu Lie Army, which was a heavy blow to the Southeast Song court. Tong Guan knew this very well. So he hated him. He even suspected that Yuwen Xuzhong was a traitor and wanted to kill him, but the situation is too tense now. The most urgent thing is to save Lu Yi's 80,000 troops, otherwise the Yangtze River defense line would be in danger.

Tong Guan ordered Lu Yi not to fight with the Huli Army, and immediately retreated across the Yangtze River and abandoned the Huaihe River defense line.

Lu Yi was waiting for this order. That night, he asked his confidant subordinates to continue to stay in Shiliang Town with 10,000 troops as the main force, while he led 70,000 troops to lightly carry, and with only three days of dry food, he retreated to Chuzhou overnight. One day and one night, the army rushed for 200 miles to Qingliu City, Chuzhou Zhifu. After a long rest, he led his army to 300 miles to Liyang City, Hezhou Zhifu. Crossing the river from Liyang to Jiangning.

When Lu Yi led his army across the river, his confidant subordinate also led his army to evacuate in the middle of the night.

After dawn the next day, Zhe Kecun realized that there was an empty camp opposite him. He sent scouts to inquire everywhere, and it was not until noon that he found that the enemy was retreating towards Chuzhou. Zhe Kecun was very annoyed and led the horse army of Hailasu to chase and kill. According to the scheduled deployment, Lu Yi's subordinates broke the army into pieces when they arrived in Chuzhou, and let the battalions (commanders) evacuate and gathered in Hezhou. As a result, Zhe Kecun could not find the enemy when he chased Chuzhou. He was so angry that he cursed, and a great opportunity to annihilate the enemy was lost in vain.

In the late September, Roland led the front-superior army to cross Huai south and met with Zhe Kecun in Yangzhou. The two armies merged and attacked Jiangdu, the Yangzhou Zhifu.

In early October, the Tiger Lieutenant Army conquered Jiangdu, and then moved to Xuanhua Town, Zhenzhou, and forced Jiangning Prefecture again.

＝＝

In October, Hangzhou issued an order to order Yuwen Xuzhong and Wu Min to move to Hangzhou immediately with the government offices and officials who were left in Jiangning.

Yuwen Xuzhong received the imperial edict and felt very painful. He had a premonition that the Southeast Song Dynasty had reached its end, and the Song Dynasty would not have much time left. Once Li Hu unified Zhongdi, the Chang'an Song Dynasty would be in danger, and this great country would soon be the world of Li Hu.

That night, Wu Min suddenly rushed to Yuwen Xuzhong's mansion. After seeing Yuwen Xuzhong, she said breathlessly: "Tong Guan is going to kill you."

This is not new news. Tong Guan had long wanted to kill Yuwen Xuzhong, but he never found an opportunity. This time the Southeast Army was defeated by Yuwen Xuzhong's wrong command, and this mistake led to the Southeast Song Dynasty losing Yingtian Prefecture in a short period of time. Now it is basically certain that the Huaihe River defense line cannot be saved. In this way, the Tiger and Lie Army was unstoppable. The capturing of large tracts of land in Jianghuai was already confronted with the Southeast Song army across the river, and the situation in the southeast was therefore very critical. Who will bear this responsibility in the end? There is no doubt that Yuwen Xuzhong should bear it.

What Yuwen Xuzhong is most painful now is that he saw the defeat of the Song Dynasty. As for his life and death, he didn't care, so when he heard Wu Min's words, there was no change in his face and no turmoil in his heart.

"Sit down." Yuwen Xu pointed at the opposite side with his middle finger and reached out to ask for help, "How can I find out that Tong Guan is going to kill me?"

Wu Min saw Yuwen Xuzhong's indifferent look. She shook her head and smiled bitterly, and sat down and said, "Did you really decide to go to Hangzhou?"
