At the order of King Kang, the Song army fled in panic. Wanyan Zongbi and his men chased after him for more than ten miles. Seeing that it was dark, they did not dare to chase them too far, so they had to withdraw their troops and go back.

The Song army left the Niushan battlefield and fled straight to Dongping. At this time, the Yanzhou prefect Sun Wenhu had already brought his team to Dongping. When Sun Wenhu heard that King Kang was blocked by Jin soldiers in Niushan, he hurriedly brought his men to support him. After walking for only more than ten miles, he saw King Kang carrying arrows and was being pulled back by his soldiers in chariots. Sun Wenhu hurriedly escorted King Kang back to the city and arranged for military doctors to heal King Kang.

Liu Yixuan helped King Kang into the Dongping County Government and quickly called a gray-bearded old military doctor to check the wound for King Kang. The military doctor asked King Kang to lie on the couch, untie the armor on his upper body, and took clean water to clean King Kang.

"Ah!" King Kang screamed, which attracted all the generals to come and take a look. It turned out that the old military doctor pulled the arrow out of King Kang's left arm.

Liu Yixuan came to ask the old military doctor: "Old sir, how is Prince Kang's injury?"

While adjusting medicine for King Kang, the old military doctor said to the generals: "You don't have to worry, Generals, Prince Kang's injury is not serious. The arrow only enters the flesh and does not hurt the muscles and bones. I have the best golden sore medicine here. It will be cured within ten days after applying it."

After hearing this, the generals were relieved, because King Kang was the commander of the first army and the younger brother of Qinzong. If he died of injuries on the battlefield, no one would come to command the army. The battlefield in Shandong has long been in chaos, and the prefectures and counties near Jeju are fighting again. This is the opportunity for King Kang and the generals to win over the hearts and expand their strength. Therefore, King Kang must not fall at this time.

The old military doctor worked hard for a while and bandaged King Kang's wound. Since King Kang was only injured on his left arm, he could still move other places. Seeing that he was not seriously injured, he got up and went to the study to discuss matters with many generals.

King Kang came to ask Liu Yixuan and said, "Young Master Liu, how are our army's losses in this battle in Niushan?"

Liu Yixuan said: "Return to the prince, the specific number of casualties has not been clearly counted yet, because... some soldiers took the opportunity to flee elsewhere during the retreat, and some injured were unknown. However, according to the preliminary estimate of the final general, our army's loss in this battle... is 60%.

"What? So much has been lost?" King Kang was shocked, and coughed a few times while saying that, showing an old and ill-dead look, which attracted Ma Menglong next to him to come and massage his back.

King Kang said to Ma Menglong: "Okay, don't beat me. I am only twenty-four years old this year and I can't die for a while. I just shouted a little hoarsely, pour me a glass of water!"

After hearing the order, everyone hurriedly poured water and brought it to him. King Kang drank a sip of white water, shook his head and sighed, "Oh, what should I do!"

After King Kang sighed, his eyes suddenly turned around and said to his left and right: "Give me paper and pen, I want to write a memorial to my elder brother, report the situation here to him, and ask him to send me some more troops."

When Liu Yixuan heard that King Kang was going to report to Qin Zong to join Shandong, he said to King Kang: "Prince, this is probably inappropriate?"

"What's wrong?" King Kang picked up his brush and asked Liu Yixuan.

"Prince, the day before yesterday, the envoy of the capital city said that Luoyang had been obtained by the Jin soldiers. If the Jin soldiers obtained Luoyang, they would definitely approach the capital city. I think the emperor must have used all the troops in the capital to resist the enemy soldiers on the western front at this time. Where can there be any troops sent to us? Even if the prince wrote the memorial, I think the emperor and the Ministry of War would not agree."

After hearing this, King Kang put down the brush in his hand and nodded, "What you said makes sense, but there are at least 70,000 or 80,000 Jin soldiers in Jeju. How can we save King Ji with just our few people? No, I still have to write this memorial. As for whether the court sends troops or not, I can't take care of that much."

When Liu Yixuan heard this, he understood King Kang's intention. King Kang took this opportunity to ask Qinzong for troops, to transfer the pressure from the Eastern Front to Qinzong. If Qinzong did not increase troops to King Kang, then the responsibility for the fall of Jeju would have nothing to do with King Kang. King Kang fought and was injured in order to save the king. It seemed that he had done his best and had some explanation for the world. Even if he saw his seventh brother, Zhao Xu, in the future, he would have a high-sounding excuse. Liu Yixuan originally wanted to persuade King Kang to work hard, but thought that Qinzong would not send troops to Shandong again, and King Ji might not have the chance to reunite with King Kang, so he didn't say anything more.

The next day, King Kang sent someone to Jeju to inquire about the news. When he learned that King Ji was fighting hard with the Jin soldiers, the Jin soldiers failed to succeed in siege several times, he felt much more at ease. King Kang asked him to go to Ningyang to inquire whether Wanyan Jilie had any intention of withdrawing troops. In addition, Sun Wenhu transferred food and grass from Yanzhou to fill the treasury in Dongping City.

Another day later, the messenger who reported to the capital to deliver the letter was back. King Kang summoned many generals to the government office to discuss matters. King Kang read the memorial and said to Liu Yixuan: "Young Master Liu, you really got it right. The emperor did not agree to allocate people to us. However, there is one thing you did not say. Wanyan Zongwang on the Western Front was not in a hurry to approach the capital, but sent someone to negotiate peace with the court!"

"What? Still discussing peace?" Liu Yixuan didn't dare to believe his ears at first, but thinking of Song Ting's strength and cowardly nature, the Jin people proposed peace talks, and it was not allowed to be fooled by Qin Zong again, so he turned around and grabbed the messenger who sent the order and asked, "What happened to the court? Why did you negotiate peace with the Jin people at this time?"

Seeing that Liu Yixuan was so angry, the envoy hurriedly struggled out of his hands and said, "Young Master Liu, don't be so excited. The villain didn't know the specific situation. The villain sent the prince's memorial to Da Nei and went to the inn on Zhuque Street to rest. In the inn, he met an envoy from Luoyang, so he started chatting with him. He heard that since King Su was captured by the Jin soldiers that day, the emperor sent troops to fight with the Jin people many times, trying to take King Su back from the Jin people, but he had no choice but to defeat the troops several times.

Wanyan Zongwang learned that the emperor was determined to save King Su, so he sent someone to upload a message with the emperor, saying that the Jin soldiers went south this time and had no intention of destroying the Song Dynasty. As long as the emperor sent a princess to marry the third prince of the Jin Kingdom, he could return King Su Qiansui. He also said that if the two families became a favor between Qin and Jin, then Wanyan Zongwang could return Luoyang..."

"Fuck! Some people believe this kind of nonsense!" Before the messenger could finish his words, Liu Yixuan cursed, "They are already sure to win, so how can they have to spend this trouble? I think the emperor will definitely not agree to their request."

The messenger rolled his eyes and glanced at Liu Yixuan and said, "The Lord of the Lord dared not say whether he would agree to the younger ones. However, many ministers in the court seemed to think that they could agree to the Jin people's conditions. If a princess could be exchanged for King Su Qiansui, and it would be safe for the Song Dynasty for a while, I think the Lord of the Lord would consider it."

When Liu Yixuan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. When he heard the words "Swap the princess for King Su", he suddenly felt that something was wrong, especially the word "princess", which pierced Liu Yixuan's eardrum like two silver needles. Liu Yixuan suddenly had an ominous premonition and hurriedly asked the messenger: "Which princess is going to let Qinzong marry the Jin people?"

The messenger heard the word "Qinzong" and didn't know who he was talking about it. He frowned and expressed confusion. Liu Yixuan was in a hurry and made a mistake and quickly corrected it: "No, it's the emperor. Which princess should the emperor ask to marry?"

The envoy shook his head and said, "I don't know this, the young one, there are so many princesses in the palace. Who knows which princess will be asked to marry the prince of the Jin Kingdom?"

"Oh!" Liu Yixuan nodded after hearing this, and took a deep breath. Thinking about what he said was right. There were more than 40 princesses in Huizong, and more than 20 were not married. Besides, a real princess may not be sent to the marriage matter. If you choose a beautiful palace maid in the palace and a princess, you can complete this kind of mission. Thinking of this, Liu Yixuan felt much more relaxed.

After hearing the news, the generals seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, because as early as the Great Liao period, the princess of Song State went to marry the Liao State. This was the first time after the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao State, the marriage was proposed to the Song Dynasty. If a princess could be exchanged for a period of peace, it would be a relatively successful diplomatic method.

The marriage of marriage has been happening since ancient times, and the ancients were particularly prone to believe it. The history of marriage between the Han Dynasty and the Huns was 300 years old. However, in Liu Yixuan's eyes, this was obviously a new trick played by the Jin people. However, even if Liu Yixuan knew that this was a conspiracy of the Jin people, he could not be the leader of the Qin sect, so he could only sigh deeply.

While everyone was discussing, they saw a soldier outside the door coming in to report, "Report! Prince, another messenger who delivered a message came from the capital outside the city, and was anxious to see Mr. Liu Yixuan and Liu!"

When Liu Yixuan heard that someone from the capital was about to see him, he asked, "What? Do you want to see me? Have you ever asked about the identity of the person coming?"

"The man said that he was a servant from the Prime Minister Liu's mansion and was about to see Mr. Liu, and said that an emergency letter was sent."

After hearing this, Liu Yixuan seemed to feel that some bad news was coming. An unprecedented fear and worry came faintly from his back, making him afraid to step out to greet the family from the mansion. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the soldier who came in to pass the message. His vicious eyes made the young soldier dare not look at him, and he only bowed his head to wait for King Kang's instructions.

"Young Master Liu, since you are a man from your house, why don't you go out to welcome me? Why are you standing here stupidly?" King Kang urged.

"Ah?" Liu Yixuan was obviously stupid. He looked back at King Kang in a daze. He didn't know which servant came outside the door, and he didn't dare to think about what news such a servant who came from all the way would bring him.

"No, no, no, no..." Liu Yixuan silently recited these three words in his heart, and finally had the courage to step out of the government office. After all, who came and what happened, and what happened, will be left to the future. (To be continued)
