Chapter 525

As Guo Jia finished speaking, Hong Qi's expression also became much more solemn.

This was not a good errand.

However, since he had already joined the Great Han, there was no choice.

"Lord Guo, I want to know how the court will deal with these Jianghu people."

Thinking that since ancient times, court forces and Jianghu forces had always looked down on each other, Hong Qi asked somewhat worriedly.

"Hehe, this is easy to handle!"

Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled slightly.

"As long as these Jianghu people all abide by the laws of my Great Han Empire, my Great Han can allow Jianghu sect forces to exist."

"However, these Jianghu sects must all register with the local government."

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Hong Qi breathed a long sigh of relief.

In this way, he had no psychological pressure.

Moreover, he was going to save them.

With the strength shown by the Great Han currently, it was not something these Jianghu sects could resist.

Don't look at the many Innate powerhouses in the Jianghu, and the martial artists are not few.

However, these people could not be the opponents of the Great Han army.

Those Innate powerhouses could not work together like the powerhouses of the Great Han.

Thinking through these, Hong Qi was also in a great mood.

"Since that is the case, then this old beggar accepts this matter."

"I will set off now to persuade Guo Jing and Huang Rong first."

"Lord Guo, farewell!"

After speaking, Hong Qi took Li Mochou and left quickly.

And at the same time, as Lü Bu and Zhao Yun conquered cities and seized territories rapidly, many forces in the Southern Song Jianghu also learned about the Great Han.

However, after seeing the strength of the Great Han, they all fell silent.

Just kidding, Innate powerhouses as generals, Postnatal martial artists as soldiers.

Such an arrogant army, who could beat them?

Moreover, this Great Han was also Han people, so what else did they have to worry about?

Therefore, this led to Lü Bu and Zhao Yun being particularly smooth along the way.

People from major forces in the Jianghu did not dare to jump out.

And the major cities of Southern Song, after fighting with the Han soldiers, were all shocked by the powerful strength of the Han soldiers.

Therefore, the cities behind only resisted symbolically for a while and chose to surrender.

Therefore, this led to Lü Bu and Zhao Yun conquering basically half of Southern Song's territory within fifteen days.

Southern Song, Lin'an City.

Before Wen Tianxiang's army set off, Lü Bu had already almost reached Lin'an City.

And Wen Tianxiang's expedition plan was also disrupted.

Now, let alone pacifying the Great Han, whether they could keep their capital Lin'an was a problem.

Southern Song Imperial Palace.

"You all speak, how on earth did this Great Han appear?"

"In just half a month, it has almost reached the capital of my Song country."

"And you, until now, actually don't even know the details of the enemy."

"You all, taking the salary I give, is this how you repay me!"

At this time, Song Lizong Zhao Yun, with a face full of cold anger, roared at the ministers below.

"Your Majesty, calm your anger, we are incompetent!"

The officials in the court, seeing this, hurriedly knelt on the ground in a panic and shouted in unison.

"Hmph, Zhang Shijie, you speak, have the details of the Great Han been investigated clearly!"

Zhao Yun looked at the kneeling ministers and snorted coldly.

Subsequently, he asked Zhang Shijie in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhang Shijie said with a difficult expression:

"Returning to Your Majesty, this humble general is incompetent; this Great Han seems to have appeared out of thin air, and no information about them can be found."

"Currently, I only know that they should have set off from Xiangyang City."

"Moreover, they divided their troops into two routes, 100,000 troops north of the Yangtze River and 100,000 troops south of the Yangtze River, simultaneously heading toward our Lin'an."

"The most terrifying thing is that the strength of these Han troops is extremely powerful."

"Now, many cities of my Song country, upon seeing the Han army attacking the city, have chosen to open the city and surrender."

"Now, the northern route army of the Han army will reach our Lin'an City in one day."

"Now, all the cities north of the Yangtze River, except for Lin'an City, have all been taken down by the Han army."

Zhang Shijie told Zhao Yun the intelligence he had received over the past few days in a deep voice.

"Then in that case, Lü Wende has also rebelled?"

Zhao Yun, after hearing that the Han army came from Xiangyang, was suddenly furious and questioned Zhang Shijie.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Currently, we still don't know if the 'Lü' character commander flag in the Han army is Lü Wende."

"However, according to this humble general's conjecture, the possibility of Lü Wende rebelling is very high."

Zhang Shijie told Zhao Yun all his conjectures.

"Your Majesty, now it is no longer a matter of whether Lü Wende has rebelled or not."

"Since the rebel army came from Xiangyang, and Lü Wende did not send news to the court, this shows that he has already rebelled."

"Our current primary task is how to resist the 100,000-strong army of the Han army!"

At this time, Left Prime Minister Jia Sidao suddenly stepped out and said solemnly to Zhao Yun.

"Your Majesty, the Left Prime Minister's words are absolutely right; this humble official seconds the motion."

As Jia Sidao's voice fell, Right Prime Minister Ding Daquan, who followed behind him, also stepped out and echoed.

"We, your subjects, second the motion!"

As the voices of the two fell, the civil and military officials in the hall all echoed in unison.

At this moment, they rarely unified their front.

"Then Prime Minister Jia, do you have a strategy to repel the enemy?"

At this time, Zhao Yun also came back to his senses.

Currently, the most important thing was to repel the enemy.

Immediately, he asked Jia Sidao with great hope.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my Great Song has strong soldiers and sturdy horses, and the armored soldiers are nearly a million."

"Now, actually being beaten back step by step by this so-called Han country with a mere 200,000 troops, and even losing nearly half of the territory, it is nothing more than one reason."

Jia Sidao said with a gloomy tone, his gaze sweeping over the martial generals' ranks.

His voice carried coldness, and his eyes were gloomy:

"The reason is that their martial generals are incompetent; facing the Han country's army, they don't know how to resist to the death, only knowing how to open the city and surrender."

"A bunch of rice bags, causing my Great Song to lose hundreds of thousands of troops in vain, and even losing most of the territory."

As Jia Sidao's voice fell, all the martial generals in the ranks, including Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie, and others, all had ugly expressions, surging with intense anger.

"Jia Sidao, stop slandering people."

The hot-tempered Zhang Shijie directly retorted to Jia Sidao.

Hearing this, Jia Sidao suddenly snorted coldly, looking at Zhang Shijie and the group of martial generals with disdain, and laughed coldly:

"Hmph!"

"You say this prime minister is slandering people!"

Jia Sidao looked at Zhang Shijie and the group of martial generals, mocking with disdain, and laughed coldly:

"Then you tell me, did this prime minister wrong you all?"

"Losing territory, losing troops, surrendering without a fight."

"Such failure, now actually still not knowing how to repent."

"This prime minister truly has never seen such a thick-skinned and shameless person!"
