Zhao Hanzhang invaded Lu County, went straight to the governor's office in Lu County, and ordered people to guard all the city gates. "Take Zhi Hei and others to find all Shi Le's wives and children."

Zhao Hanzhang paused and said, "Be polite and don't scare them."

Yuan Li, who was originally full of anger, immediately calmed down his aura after hearing the order, lowered his head and said yes, and took people down to investigate.

Shi Le now has two sons, his biological son is Shi Xing, who is also the eldest son, and his adopted son is Shi Kan. His wife is Liu. When Zhao Hanzhang rushed into the governor's mansion, everyone had already run away. Only a dozen people in the huge governor's mansion could not make it in time. Running slave.

Zhao Hanzhang did not embarrass them. After identifying their identities, they treated them as prisoners. After screening, the capable ones were kept, while the incompetent ones were transferred to good places and assigned to farm fields.

She sat in the lobby waiting for news until it got dark, and Yuan Li came to report, "Shi Kan was caught, but he protected the Liu family and his son Shi Xing from escaping. He was seriously injured and only had one breath left."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Can you tell me their whereabouts?"

Yuan Li lowered his head.

Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said: "Save him. If he can't be saved, bury him properly. Send a team to chase him. We must catch Shi Xing."

"Yes." Yuan Li was about to retreat when Zhao Hanzhang suddenly stopped him and said, "You personally lead the people to chase after him."

Zhao Hanzhang's face was solemn, "There are not many places they can go. To the south... they are all occupied by me. They should go to Pingyang or Guangping County."

Yuan Li responded with a straight face.

Zhao Hanzhang: "Catch them alive!"

After Yuan Li retreated, he said clearly: "Your Majesty, you want to replace the emperor with Shi Xing? I'm afraid that neither Shi Le nor Liu Cong will agree."

"Ah?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "I want to change my uncle. Of course they won't change the emperor. If I want to change the emperor..."

Zhao Hanzhang's heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "That must be done by the emperor."

"Yes, why did I forget Liu Yuan," Zhao Hanzhang murmured: "If we can catch him, maybe we can replace the emperor and the courtiers."

Ming Yu:...

He endured it, but couldn't hold it back, "Is your Majesty serious?"

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him and said: "There is no harm in trying. Now that His Majesty has been arrested, there is no use in getting entangled. It is better to think about how to maximize the benefits."

Zhao Hanzhang's eyes were deep and he said quietly: "For example, we regained Bingzhou and Jizhou's lost territory in one fell swoop."

Ming Yu paused for a moment and then asked, "What next, do you want to establish a new emperor?"

If she really breaks into Pingyang City, will she establish a new emperor to create obstacles for herself?

Zhao Hanzhang declined: "We'll talk about it then."

Ming Yu was not a loyal minister of the Jin State. He heard what Zhao Hanzhang meant and wished he could, so he nodded.

You can attack Pingyang County from Shangdang County to the west. Zhao Hanzhang asked Mi Ce and Li Tianhe to go east to recover Guangping County, while she took Zeng Yue to Pingyang to join Fu Tinghan. Well, fight all the way there to join up.

Neither Shi Le nor Liu Cong expected that Yuzhou would not be threatened by the Jin Emperor, which made Liu Cong feel that the emperor in his hands was of little use.

Liu Cong looked at Emperor Jin with increasingly gloomy eyes, so Shi Le did not kill Gou Xi and Gou Chun.

The emperor's life could not make Zhao Hanzhang take a step back, so what's the use of killing Gou Xi?

So Shi Le simply named Gou Xi Zuo Sima, planning to use him to conquer Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

Yuncheng fell, and the western and northern areas of Yanzhou were basically occupied by Shi Le and Liu Cong. Now only some cities in the south and east are holding on. Shi Le plans to bring Gou Xi, the former governor of Yanzhou, to conquer these cities and then attack Yuzhou.

"Report——"

The soldiers rushed over with a letter and shouted: "General, please report from 800 miles away, Lu County has fallen!"

Shi Le's expression changed, and he grabbed the letter and opened it. When he saw the letter saying that Zhao Hanzhang had conquered eight cities and occupied Lu County, his vision went dark. He quickly asked, "Where is the prince?"

The ordering soldier panted and said: "The prince and his wife are nowhere to be found. Mr. Kan was captured and seriously injured. He does not know whether he is alive or dead."

Shi Le crushed the letter.

Zhixiong said anxiously: "General, let's go back to Shangdang quickly."

"We can't go back!" Zhang Bin hurried over and said to Shi Le: "General, don't forget our original plan. We have already predicted the fall of Shangdang. Going back now will not help. It is better to capture Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Then counterattack back."

Shi Le crumpled the letter into pieces bit by bit, and said expressionlessly: "Sir, you are right, why should a man worry about having no children? Come here, order the troops, let's go to Yuzhou!"

This time, he will not attack from Meng County, but from the border of Yanzhou!

And, he has allies.

Shi Le was a minister of the Han Kingdom, and Shangdang was not only Shi Le's Shangdang, but also a member of the Huns and Han Kingdom.

Especially since Shangdang has a special geographical location, Liu Cong could not sit back and watch Shangdang be lost, so as soon as Shi Le reported it, the two of them formulated a new plan.

Shi Le attacked Yuzhou and forced Zhao Hanzhang to return reinforcements, while Liu Cong attacked Jizhou and regained all the lost cities in Jizhou's merger.

Liu Cong led Emperor Jin all the way north. When many Jin officials saw that Emperor Jin had been captured, either because of Emperor Jin or because they felt from the bottom of their hearts that the situation was over, they opened the city and surrendered one after another.

Seeing that the northern part of Yanzhou, the southern part of Jizhou and even the southern part of Qingzhou were occupied by the Huns, Zhao Zhongyu was filled with grief and couldn't help but go to the emperor, "Your Majesty, if this continues, Jin will perish."

The emperor was dressed in civilian clothes, and his treatment was not as good as that of Zhao Zhongyu and other Jin ministers. Although he was not imprisoned, he could only stay in a fixed area, and occasionally he was recruited to entertain and humiliate Liu Cong. When he saw Zhao Zhongyu, he He couldn't help crying and asked with choked sobs: "We are hostages now, what else can we do?"

Zhao Zhongyu said: "Your Majesty, commit suicide."

The emperor shook his lips, looked at Zhao Zhongyu in shock, and said nothing.

Zhao Zhongyu knelt in front of him and cried: "Only when your majesty dies can they not be threatened. What's more, they can counterattack in mourning. Please, please commit suicide."

When the attendants around the emperor heard this, they knelt down and trembled.

Zhou Neijian stepped forward, pushed Zhao Zhongyu away, and said tremblingly: "Zhao Shangshu, you, you are brave!"

The emperor trembled, and with trembling hands he swept the teapot on the table to the ground, and then picked up a piece of porcelain. But he raised his hand and tried it, and found that he couldn't do it, so he gave it to Zhao Zhongyu with trembling hands, "Ai Qing" Come here."

Zhao Zhongyu turned pale and shook his head repeatedly, "How dare I kill the king?"

The emperor smiled bitterly and couldn't help but taunted: "What's the difference between forcing me to commit suicide because of my love for you, and killing me with your own hands?"

Zhao Zhongyu burst into tears, "Your Majesty said this to kill me. I didn't want to live alone. On the road to hell, I will continue to be your minister, but I really don't dare to kill the king."

The emperor and Zhao Zhongyu looked at each other and shed tears. In the end, the emperor still could not muster the courage to commit suicide. Naturally, Zhao Zhongyu did not dare to kill the emperor, so the matter ended like this.

But seeing Liu Cong making great progress and gaining territory all the way, he was not uneasy. If he had known that the world would fall at his hands, he would not have ascended the throne as emperor even if he had been killed four years ago.
