"Give way! Give way! Urgent report from Xiangyang eight hundred miles away!"

On Lin'an Street, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and the horse was galloping past on the bluestone street.

Pedestrians on the street retreated to both sides to avoid hitting themselves...

Good things don't go out, but bad news spreads thousands of miles.

The people in Lin'an smelled something, and the public opinion about the front line had completely erupted: "Have you heard that Xiangyang City was broken by the Han army a few days ago!"

"No way, Xiangyang City is the most powerful pass in the world, and it was broken like this?"

"How can this be false? Didn't you realize that just now it was an urgent report of the 800-mile military report in Xiangyang City? If it weren't for the urgent news of defeat, how could it be like this?"

"Fuck, then the Han army is not going to attack Lin'an City in the next step, how can we deal with it?"

"Haha! If I knew how to deal with it, I would become the prime minister!"

"Let me tell you, don't be afraid. The Holy Emperor of the Han Dynasty has descended from heaven and is an unparalleled hero. I heard that the Chengdu Prefecture has begun to implement the New Deal. It has reduced taxes from the original 80% to 40%. It will be of great benefit to the people...

..”

"Yes, as a common people in the Song Dynasty, all the benefits were taken away by the treacherous ministers and ignorant kings. We can only eat dirt, but as a common people in the Han Dynasty, we have some hope..."

...

The conflict between the two countries is more than just a battle on the battlefield.

Regarding the control of public opinion, it is also the key to influencing people's hearts.

Among the people in Lin'an City who were making a fuss, many of them were secrets planted by Zixiao Palace in advance.

At critical moments, spreading some news and promoting public opinion can not only win people's hearts, but also create chaos behind the enemy's rear...

The sentinel traveled thousands of miles and arrived at Lin'an. The monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty had already learned about it.

Jia Sidao also flicked his sleeves, put on the posture of a celebrity, and said with a smile: "This must be a good news, your Majesty can sit back and relax!"

Qin Hui also smiled slightly and said: "Zhang Jun is indeed a famous general in the world. He has made great achievements in fighting against the Han invaders. Your Majesty should reward him heavily..."

At this time, he also wanted to promote his own party members in order to better control the Southern Song Dynasty army.

Song King Zhao Gou was also full of expectations and asked: "Hurry up and announce that the messenger has entered the palace. I want to hear for myself what is going on!"

The Huangmen eunuch outside the palace gate shouted sharply: "Xuan——The messenger from Xiangyang is here to see you!"

"The messenger from Xuan Xiangyang is here to see you!"

The news was passed on layer by layer, and the messenger entered the palace covered with dust, and prostrated himself in the Jinluan Hall:

"Your Majesty, the Grand Marshal of Zhendong and the Grand Marshal of Zhenxi were defeated in the first battle...

"..."

Zhao Gou was originally full of expectations, but after hearing the defeat in the first battle, his face suddenly darkened...

"..."

Qin Hui and Jia Sidao also felt their hearts pounding, and there was a slight sweat on their foreheads.

The messenger continued: "After the first battle, the two commanders, Zhang and Liu, retreated into Xiangyang City and defended the city, waiting for the opportunity to fight. However, the Han army was cunning and prepared to attack Xiangyang City day and night, and the defense of Xiangyang City was defeated.

The army is exhausted..."

Qin Hui cursed in his heart: Damn it, the Han army is really unscrupulous!

"After harassing the city for more than ten days, when the Song army defending the city was mentally exhausted, the Han army used its supreme fierce generals to attack Xiangyang City at night. The iron-blooded soldiers violently attacked the city and captured Xiangyang City overnight.

The two generals Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi led their troops to surrender... The Han Dynasty has reorganized its army and is marching towards Lin'an. Please make your decision!"

"..."

After listening to what the messenger said, you could hear a needle drop in the Jinluan Palace.

It was simply deathly silence!

All the civil and military officials of the Southern Song Dynasty were so shocked that they were speechless...

Xiangyang City, what is that?

That was the last barrier in the Southern Song Dynasty. Without this majestic pass, the entire Southern Song Dynasty would be a smooth road, and there would no longer be any capital to resist!

After a while, the officials began to secretly look at Zhao Gou's expression, only to find that he had fainted from fear...

"Sweat! His Majesty has passed out. Call the doctor quickly!"

Everyone jumped up and helped Zhao Gou to his feet.

The entire court was in chaos.

After a while, the imperial doctor finally arrived at the scene. After some diagnosis and treatment, he came to a conclusion: "Your Majesty's kidney pulse loss is too serious. He is now frightened and his energy is weak. He needs to take a good rest!"

"It's over, the kidneys are destroyed, and the 200,000 troops are gone!"

Zhao Gou was about to cry but had no tears, and his mentality exploded.

The Han army is about to attack Lin'an City. How about resting in peace?

Keep a hair!

The ministers beside me were also having a heated discussion. The center of the topic was only one: how to stop the Han from attacking the city!

Zhao Gou forced himself to calm down and asked hopefully: "The two prime ministers have far-reaching wisdom. Do you have any clever ideas that can save the situation?"

"..."

Jia Sidao and Qin Hui's backs were soaked with cold sweat...

Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi were the two marshals whom they strongly recommended.

Normally, he is quite effective in exterminating bandits, but this time he fought a tough battle and immediately became a soft-footed shrimp.

It doesn't matter that he was defeated, but he actually surrendered. There is no way to cleanse him!

Do you want to persuade Zhao Gou to surrender?

"My lord...I am so ashamed of Your Majesty!"

Jia Sidao rolled his eyelids and fainted on the spot...

Qin Hui entered the court without hesitation and went up to the palace with his sword. At this time, he drew his sword and placed it across his neck. He sighed sadly: "Liu Guangshi was a hero. I didn't expect that he would not be able to protect himself at the end of the festival. I will have no words to face your majesty!"

Qin Hui pretended to kill himself, which was actually a strategy of retreating in order to win Zhao Gou's sympathy...

The party members beside him, Ding Daquan and others, understood and hurriedly stepped out to hold him, crying: "Prime Minister Qin, please don't commit suicide!"

"If Qin Xiangruo dies, the pillar of the Song Dynasty will collapse!"

"It's not that Liu Guangshi refuses to fight hard, it's that the Han army is too powerful!"

"Your Majesty, please make plans in advance!"

...

Most of the people in the court were from Qin Hui and Jia Sidao.

This group of people usually follow Jia Sidao and Qin Hui. At critical moments, they naturally have to show their own value and start to clean up the ground for Qin Hui and Jia Sidao.

Zhao Gou looked pale and asked, "Which of your beloved ministers has a strategy for retreating from the enemy?"

There was dead silence in the hall.
