The things that Empress Dowager Tu Shan couldn't understand were completely unthinkable, and Tu Shan Zhen couldn't understand.

Why did you lose?

When the two suddenly heard about this, they thought it was absurd, but in this case, they could not help but doubt it.

So, facing the Empress Dowager's inquiry, the two of them were unsure and could only mess up the water.

"How could our army be attacked by the rebels? Empress Dowager, I think this matter is a fraud."

"But people outside said they saw many fleeing soldiers, and they said that the thief army had already come to the middle. What are you going to explain?"

Queen Mother Tu Dan was not easy to fool and asked loudly.

Pusan ​​Hutu and Tu Shanzhen didn’t know what to explain.

In the end, the inquiry ended in vain. The two of them just expressed that they would do their best to figure out the situation and ensure the safety of the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince.

As time goes by, the situation continues to deteriorate, and the specific progress of the Restoration Army has finally been discovered.

The spies reported that the Resurrection Army marched quickly. When Pusanhutu and Tu Shanzhen learned about it, the Resurrection Army had arrived in Wanning and immediately marched towards Liangxiang.

The distance is already very close.

Pusan ​​Hutu and Tu Shanzhen were struck by lightning. They were surprised for a long time before they calmed down and quickly arranged for Zhongdu’s defense.

While sending people to prepare for city defense, they immediately dispatched troops to Liangxiang to rush to help, hoping to curb the advance of the Restoration Army in Liangxiang.

Then the two of them stared at the Privy Council with big eyes and stunned.

"Your Majesty is really defeated?"

"Is the army really finished?"

The two asked each other a question, but neither of them could answer.

"Your Majesty said he was going to attack Shandong before. He was defeated in less than a month? More than 400,000 troops! Almost 500,000 people! That's it?"

Pusanhutu covered his forehead with his hands, his face full of disbelief.

Tu Shanzhen is not much better.

"The elite troops are all out, all good generals are all out, 170,000 combat soldiers! 80,000 cavalry! All the main forces of the Great Jin Kingdom! That's it? Who dares to believe it? What is the origin of the thief army? How long will it take to destroy the main forces of the Great Jin Kingdom? How is it possible?!"

The two of them couldn't even think of why the main force of the Jin army was defeated by the Restoration Army.

Even if the infantry of the Restoration Army is indeed powerful, the Jin army has 80,000 cavalry! 80,000!

The Southern Song and Xixia tied up a piece of military force and were almost able to pull out 80,000 cavalry to fight. The Jin army launched a combat power of the destruction level in one breath, but was defeated?

How did it fail?

Why did it fail?

After thinking about it, the two of them forced themselves to calm down.

Being a minister by Wanyan Liang for many years has trained their psychological endurance. They feel that they cannot give up hope until Wanyan Liang's death has been confirmed.

What if this is just a plan of the Restoration Army and he is taking advantage of the troubled waters?

But the Restoration Army was really fast.

When the Restoration Army attacked Liangxiang, the Jin army reinforcements had not yet gone far. As soon as they arrived in Wanping, news of the fall of Liangxiang came.

The generals led the troops immediately stopped advancing and delivered the message back while forging defenses in Wanping.

The fall of Liangxiang, and the news that the Restoration Army pointed at Zhongdu reached Zhongdu. The people of Zhongdu were impetuous and people kept leaving Zhongdu and running towards Liaodong. Because they heard that Liaodong had won a battle, they felt that at least Liaodong was safe.

Not to mention the people, many officials also felt inexplicably afraid. They heard that the Restoration Army targeted the Jurchens and was very fierce and never merciless to the Jurchens. So the Jurchen officials felt that the future was bleak and they all had the idea of ​​escaping back to Liaodong.

As this idea became more and more intense, many people put it into practice, dragging their families with their families, and more than a dozen large trucks were dragging their property and running directly out of the city.

Someone took the lead, and a rush of escaping was directly aroused throughout the whole process, and he couldn't stop him.

The price of renting horses and car rentals in the city skyrocketed, and it was hard to find a car. In the end, even the price of donkeys increased several times, and it was still hard to find a donkey. So many people simply planned to escape from Zhongdu with their legs.

Seeing that even some officials had handed their resignations, they would rather not be an official than run away, Pusan ​​Hutu felt that this could not continue.

He was worried that if this continued, the city would be completely disordered and disorderly. By then, before the Liberation Army arrived, Zhongdu City would be in chaos.

So Pusan ​​Hutu and Tu Shanzhen discussed for a while.

While the two discussed, the Empress Dowager Shan also heard the news and summoned Pu Sanhutu and Tu Shanzhen, asking them if they wanted to let the royal family leave Zhongdu to take refuge and avoid the troops of the Restoration Army.

Both Pusanhutu and Tu Shanzhen expressed opposition to this idea.

"I was just about to ask the Queen Mother, but I planned to block Zhongdu and complete martial law. I could not let Zhongdu get out of order. Otherwise, once Zhongdu becomes chaotic, the thief army will fall before it comes, Zhongdu will be unable to hold on. We are all fish on the chopping board."

Tu Shan was very worried.

"That's why I have to leave. If I don't leave, the thief army will be surrounded by the siege, and the prince and I will fall into the enemy! This is what you want to see? Aren't your family also in the city?"

Tu Shanzhen immediately spoke, "It is precisely because of this that we cannot leave. Now the thieves are very close to each other. If we want to leave, we will drag our family and take our own family, and the big and small cars will be in sight at a glance. The speed is extremely slow, and we will inevitably be caught up by the thieves. Then there will be no place to stay in the wilderness. Does the Empress Dowager hope this is the case?"

Tu Shanzhen was his family after all. Empress Dowager Tu Shan was persuaded by his words, but she was still very scared and full of sorrow.

"Then what should we do? What happened to the emperor? What happened to the army? Why did the thief army appear here..."

Queen Mother Tu Shan was a woman who had not experienced the storm. When things came to an end, she completely lost her mind. She spoke and cried, describing her miserable words.

But she can’t be blamed. Don’t many bureaucrats who have seen strong storms want to escape?

It's just that such things cannot be allowed.

Pusan ​​Hutu said, "Your Majesty is dead and the army is destroyed is just a rumor. There is no actual evidence to prove that this matter is true, so we must not lose our own way."

Empress Dowager Tu Shan hurriedly said, "But isn't the thief army coming? If the thief army comes, what should we do?"

Tu Shanzhen nodded.

"This is the most difficult thing. Your Majesty has taken away a large number of troops in the southern expedition. The remaining troops have sufficient protection and lack of progress. Therefore, after discussion, my ministers and others decided to send people out to Liaodong to ask for assistance from the Grand Governor of Wuyanpu Luhun, and ask him to lead troops back to the aid."

When it comes to Wuyanpu Luhun, Empress Dowager Tu Shan suddenly remembered it.

Before the Khitans rebelled and established the Liao Kingdom, Wanyan Liang sent Wuyan Pu Luhun to lead troops to suppress the rebellion and fight the battle. Later, because they needed to clear out the remnants of the Khitan rebels, they did not lead troops to participate in the southward expedition.

So now Wuyan Puluhun still has an elite force who has won the battle.

So Empress Dowager Tu Shan burst into tears and laughed, as if she had seen some light of hope.

"I remembered that Wuyanpu Luhun once led his troops to attack the Khitan rebels, so he still had troops on his hands! If he rushed back, Zhongdu would be saved and the Great Jin Kingdom would be saved! Yes?"

"Yes, Wuyanpu Luhun has at least 40,000 combat troops under his command. If it is temporarily expanded, it is not a problem to gather an army of 50,000 or 60,000 people. We will definitely be able to return to aid.

Moreover, Wuyanpu Luhun is good at using troops. His army has just experienced a great victory and is full of morale. He will definitely be able to fight the bandit army. So even if the situation has reached the worst, the Great Jin Kingdom still has the power to turn the world back!"

Pusan ​​Hutu said loudly: "So, please do not leave Zhongdu and stay in Zhongdu. I can guarantee that the bandit army will never conquer Zhongdu before Wuyan Puluhun leads troops back to the rescue! I will definitely do my best to defend Zhongdu. I will never let the bandit army perform their crimes!"

At this point, Empress Dowager Tu Dan had nothing to say, so she could only nod her head silently and agreed to the request of both of them.

She could only believe that as long as Wuyan Pu Luhun leads his troops back to the rescue, the siege of Zhongdu and the danger of Yanyun can be lifted, and everything will be better.

Yes, that's it.

Obtaining the Empress Dowager's understanding is equivalent to gaining the understanding of the Crown Prince, and understanding the highest power of Zhongdu in name, and everything becomes famous.

So Pusanhutu and Tu Shanzhen breathed a sigh of relief. While ordering martial law throughout the city, they sent people to Liaodong to recall Wuyanpu Luhun's army, ordered him to return to aid, lift the siege of Zhongdu, and save the situation in Yanyun.
