40. Capture Yan Yuanyi alive

But I didn't expect these jets of water to continue to erupt, causing most of these golden soldier crossbowmen to be unable to draw their bows, and even many golden soldier rafts began to sink due to too much water.

After all, these golden soldiers were all northerners, and they didn't know the nature of water, and when they saw the raft sinking, they were naturally frightened, so they began to jump on the soldier rafts of other soldiers next to them.

And these improvised rafts, which were originally lightweight, inevitably continued to sink after gathering too many soldiers.

As a result, these golden soldiers began to completely mess up.

Seeing this, Wanyan Yuanyi knew that this battle could not be carried out any longer, so he hurriedly ordered people to retreat.

But at this time, in order to escape for his life, who would listen to Yan Yuanyi.

For a while, the Jin soldiers themselves were in chaos, and these Jin Bing rafts gradually began to sink one by one.

Xu Xian, who was waiting on the island, also knew that at this time, it was time to wrap up.

"Don't let any of these Tartars go tonight!"

"Everybody give it to me!"

So Xu Xian ordered.

The soldiers in the Song army who could swim in the water took the lead in jumping into the lake with swords, and those who could not swim took boats and began to encircle and suppress these Jin soldiers who were already in chaos.

After a tragic battle, all these elites of the Jin Kingdom were beheaded in this Juchao Lake, and Wanyan Yuanyi also became a prisoner of the Song people.

This battle naturally boosted the morale of the Song army in an instant.

At the suggestion of a group of soldiers, Xu Xian also immediately led these Song soldiers to counterattack the Jin soldiers' camp on the shore of Juchao Lake.

However, when he attacked the Jin camp, Xu Xian found that the Jin soldiers had long been gone, so he had to temporarily order someone to stop the attack.

"Prime Minister!"

"Didn't these Tartars get the news and flee in advance, right?"

"Otherwise, we will be able to take advantage of the situation to completely annihilate this Tartar elite, so that the Tartar Emperor can no longer pose a threat to our Great Song Dynasty!"

"Alas, I didn't expect these Tartars to be very smart!"

Yu Yunwen came to Xu Xian at this time.

"As far as I know, the Tartars would never be so smart!"

"It seems that there must be a master in command among the Tartars!"

"It's a pity that we don't have a chance to wipe out this group of Tartars today!"

Li Xianzhong also seemed to show unwillingness.

After all, the plan that Xu Xian and Li Xianzhong planned quietly was originally to lure all of Yan Yuanyi's main forces to pursue him, and then use the Song army's proficiency in water warfare to completely annihilate Yan Yuanyi's army.

As a result, although the captured Tartar master general Wanyan Yuanyi did not cause more trauma to his strength, he naturally felt a little puzzled.

"That's right!"

"Didn't the Tartar Emperor appoint a new national teacher recently!"

"This national teacher is the demon monk Fahai who used to be my Great Song Dynasty, and this monk is quite Taoist!"

"Could it be that the demon monk Fahai came to sabotage our plans?"

Xu Xian suddenly remembered the Fahai monk that the White Lady had reminded him before.

At this moment, suddenly a Jin soldier was brought to Xu Xian.

"You are Xu Xian, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, right?"

"Our national teacher asked me to come over and pass a message to you!"

"If you want to save that big green snake, you must release General Yan Yuanyi, the secretary of our military department!"

"Otherwise, three days later, that big green snake will be personally sent to Bianjing by our national teacher for medicinal purposes!"

Without waiting for Xu Xian to ask, the golden soldier said loudly to Xu Xian.

"What did you say?"

"That demon monk actually dares to use Xiaoqing as a medicinal herb?"

"You go back and tell Monk Nafahai!"

"Let's just say that I can take Yan Yuanyi's life to exchange for Xiaoqing, but I must ensure that Xiaoqing is not harmed in any way!"

As soon as Xu Xian heard Xiaoqing's news, he was naturally very excited, so he quickly agreed to this Jin State soldier.

"How can our prime minister ignore the survival of the country and promise to take Wanyan Yuanyi, which we worked so hard to catch, to exchange it for a big snake?"

"yes!"

"If we bring that Wanyan Yuanyi back to the court and present it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so as to deter the Tartar Emperor Wanyan Liang, it will be of great benefit to our overall situation of resisting Jin!"

"So we must not agree that the prime minister will take Yan Yuanyi and go to exchange for a green snake!"

"Yes!"

"I can't agree with the Prime Minister's decision!"

"We have to go in and see the Prime Minister!"

"If the prime minister wants to save that big green snake, there must be the prime minister's own suffering!"

"Generals, listen to me, we believe in the prime minister!"

"When did we not trust the prime minister?"

"But the prime minister's selfish behavior now, regardless of the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, is really unacceptable!"

"We have to go to the prime minister and ask about this time!"

"Otherwise, we will never leave!"

"Never leave!"

But after the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom returned, when Xu Xian was resting in the same place, he was woken up by a sound of 'chirp, wow, wow' outside the tent.

Xu Xian listened carefully and found that these generals were actually opposing their exchange of Yan Yuanyi for Xiaoqing, and they also knew that this matter was very difficult.

If you don't handle it well, I'm afraid that these people will no longer obey their orders, but will go to Jiankang to complain to Zhao Tuan, and their position as the secretary of the military department and prime minister will definitely be lost, and the great cause of resisting gold will be even more hopeless.

Moreover, Xu Xian had already offended the emperor Zhao Gou, and if he lost the prestige in the hearts of the generals at this time, the consequences could be imagined.

But Xiaoqing is for Xu Xian himself, how can Xu Xian not save it.

Xu Xian knew at this time that among these generals, perhaps only Li Xianzhong was the most worthy of his trust, so he could only do nothing.

"If you have something to say, come in!"

"Don't make a fuss outside!"

So Xu Xian shouted outside.

Subsequently, all the generals crowded into the big tent where Xu Xian was.

"I know that everyone has doubts about today's decision!"

"But since the Prime Minister commanded the army to fight, has the Prime Minister ever lost the battle?"

Xu Xian naturally started to take the lead first.

"The Prime Minister's organization has fought two big battles, both of which have defeated the Tartars, and there has never been a defeat!"

Some generals began to respond.

"Good!"

"Since you all know that you have never lost a battle with your own appearance, then why do you still have doubts about your true appearance?"

"I'll tell you!"

"All decisions are made for the Great Song Dynasty, and heaven and earth can learn from it!"

"If you think you're selfish now!"

"That prime minister will leave Huaixi immediately, return to Jiankang, submit his resignation to His Royal Highness the crown prince, and will not participate in the affairs of Jin in the future!"

"As for this Huaixi matter, it will be handed over to Yu Zhongshu and Li Xianzhong in the future!"

Xu Xian's attitude was obviously very resolute.

After speaking, he put the Huaixi Command Great Seal in front of Li Xianzhong.

"The prime minister can't be, the prime minister can't!"

"Now this anti-gold situation can't do without you!"

"I can't live without you!"

When Li Xianzhong saw Xu Xian like this, he immediately panicked and immediately knelt on the ground to beg for help.
