Zhao Gou said, "My side and the other side must be in charge. Lu Qing should follow me. The Jiang and Huai areas will be put into Du Qing." So Zhao Gou appointed Du Chong as the Jiang and Huai Xuanfu envoy, and stayed in Jiankang. Han Shizhong was the commander of the western Zhejiang and Zhenjiang, and Liu Guangshi was the commander of the Jiangdong Xuanfu envoy, guarding Taiping and Chizhou. He followed Du Chong's control, so he fled to Lin'an himself.

When Jin Wushu heard that Zhao Gou fled to Lin'an, he vigorously prepared the navy and planned to attack Zhejiang by sea. He also issued an edict to surrendered general Liu Yu, asking Liu Yu to attack Nanjing. Liu Yu's courtesy Yanyou, was born in Fucheng, Yongjing Army. Liu Yu lacked education and virtue since childhood, and once stole the platinum bowl and yarn of his classmates. During the Yuanfu period, Liu Yu passed the imperial examination. In the second year of Zhenghe, he was appointed as the imperial censor and was attacked by the censor. Zhao Ji did not want to expose his past ugly behavior, so he issued an edict not to pursue it. Soon, Liu Yu wrote many letters to talk about the ritual system. However, Zhao Ji said: "Liu Yu is a farmer in Hebei, how can he understand the ritual system?" Liu Yu was demoted to Liangzhejian. In the sixth year of Xuanhe, he was sentenced to the Imperial College, and he was appointed as the official of Hebei for the punishment.

The Jin army invaded the Song Dynasty in the south, and Liu Yu abandoned his post and went to Yizhen to avoid chaos. Liu Yu had a good relationship with Zhang Xu, the Minister of the Secretariat. In the first month of the second year of Jianyan, Liu Yu was appointed as the prefect of Jinan because of Zhang Xu's recommendation. At that time, the thieves from Shandong rose up, and Liu Yu was unwilling to go and asked to be appointed as a county in the southeast. The prime minister at that time hated him very much and did not agree. Liu Yu took office angrily. In the winter of the same year, the Jin army captured Jinan, and Liu Yu sent his son Liu Lin to fight. The Jin army surrounded Jinan heavily, and Zhang Jian increased his troops to support, and the Jin army retreated.

The Jin army took the opportunity to send people to persuade Liu Yu. Liu Yu remembered his previous resentment, so he planned to rebel, killed his general Guan Sheng, and led the people to surrender to Jin, but the people refused to obey, and Liu Yu surrendered. In March of the third year of Jianyan, Jin Wushu heard that Zhao Gou had crossed the Yangtze River, and sent Liu Yu to the magistrate of Dongping Prefecture, served as the pacification envoy of Jingdong East and West, Huainan and other roads, to control Daming, Kaide Prefecture, Pu, Bin, Bo, Di, De, Cang and other prefectures, and Liu Lin was the prefect of Jinan, south of the Yellow River, led by Liu Yu, and ordered Liu Yu to attack Nanjing.

Liu Yu received the order from Jin Wushu and led his troops to defeat Yingtian. The prefect Ling Tangzuo was captured. Ling Tangzuo pretended to surrender, so Liu Yu still asked Ling Tang Zuo to be the prefect. Ling Tangzuo secretly planned to Liu Yu and submitted a report to the court with a wax book, begging for troops to beg for help. Unexpectedly, the matter was leaked and he was captured and killed by Liu Yu, and his family members were killed. After Zhao Gou got Ling Tangzuo's wax book, he wanted to go and communicate with him to the laziness, so he asked him to dissuade Liu Yu from the south.

Zhao Gou sent Zhang Shao of Zhilongtu Pavilion to the Talai Army. Zhang Shao came to Weizhou and met Talai. Talai ordered Zhang Shao to visit him, but Zhang Shao resolutely said: "The military supervisor and I are both envoys from the north and the south, and are equal to each other. How can we pay homage to each other? What's more, regardless of strength or weakness, we must be judged by the right and wrong. God has not abandoned Song yet, but your country has accepted Liu Yu, the traitor of our country, and divided the earth and divided the feudals, and still have to lose troops. If we talk about the rationale, what country is the right and what country is the right, please think about it yourself!"

Talan was speechless, but relied on his powerful forces to escort Zhang Shao to Mizhou and was imprisoned in Zuoshan Village. There was also the former Zhending guard Li Miao, who was captured by the Jin people and placed under house arrest for three years. The Jin Kingdom wanted to make him govern Cangzhou, but Li Miao refused to obey. Later, the Jin Lord issued an edict that all Song ministers who stayed in Jin would change their crowns and uniforms. Li Miao not only refused, but instead slandered him. The Jin people attacked Li Miao's mouth, but he was still unyielding and was killed immediately. Although Zhao Gou had heard of something, he only had two words in his heart, one was the word "he" and the other was the word "escape".

Because Jin Wushu had news of glimpsing Zhejiang, Zhao Gou ordered Han Shizhong to guard Wushan and Fushan, and ordered Zhou Wang, the Minister of War, to be the envoy of Liangzhe, Jing and Hu Xuanfu, to lead troops to defend Pingjiang. Soon he heard that Jin Wushu had invaded in two groups, from Chu and two states to Jiangdong, and from Qi and Huang states to Jiangxi. Zhao Gou was afraid that Empress Dowager Longyu would be frightened in Hongzhou, so he ordered Liu Guangshi to move to Jiangzhou as a shield. But he fled to Lin'an with Lu Yihao and others. After living for seven days, the alarm became tighter and tighter, so Zhao Gou crossed the Qiantang River and fled to Yuezhou.

Jin Wushu received the report and knew that Zhao Gou was getting farther and farther away, and he could not fly east of Zhejiang for a while, so he thought that it would be better to advance to Jiangxi and capture Empress Dowager Longyu. The Jin soldiers immediately captured Shouchun, robbed Guangzhou, captured Huangzhou, and killed the governor Zhao Lingqin. The Jin soldiers drove across the river and headed straight to the city of Jiangzhou. Although Liu Guangshi moved to Jiangzhou, he kept drinking and singing all day long and did not care about the war.

When the Jin soldiers were already at the city, Liu Guangshi realized that he was in a panic and had no intention of defending. He hurriedly opened the back door and fled to Nankang. The governor Han Xiang was happy to abandon the city and escape, following Liu Guangshi's footsteps. The Jin soldiers entered the city, plundered and looted them all, and then went straight to Hongzhou from Daye. Teng Kang and Liu Jue heard that the Jin soldiers were coming, so he hurriedly protected the empress dowager from the city. Wang Ziyou, the commander of Jiangxi, also abandoned the city and fled. Hong, Fu and Yuan were successively captured.

When the empress dowager walked to Jizhou, she suddenly heard that the Jin soldiers were about to chase him again, so she hurriedly hired a boat to escape overnight. The boatman Jing Xin became evil and robbed a lot of goods and ran away. Yang Weizhong, the commander of the capital, was ordered to protect the empress dowager, but thousands of soldiers were also dispersed. Some of the palace maids fled in horror, or some were robbed and lost about 200 people. Teng Kang and Liu Jue also escaped without a trace. The guards around the empress dowager were only dozens of people at this time, and they were still somewhat conscientious. She protected the mother of the empress dowager and Prince Yuanyi, from Wan'anlu to Qianzhou, which was also considered to be the fate of the two. Chen Xin, a local tyrant, learned that, and led the crowd to siege the city. Fortunately, the general of Yang Weizhong, Hu You, led his troops to help and repel Chen Xin, so that the empress dowager would have Shao'an. Otherwise, the empress dowager would be arrested.

Soon, the Jin soldiers captured Jizhou and slaughtered Hongzhou. Instead, they invaded Luzhou and Hezhou, and Wuwei Army. The guards either fled or surrendered, and the Jin army was in a state of power. Only Zhao Li, the governor of Xuzhou, led 30,000 troops and wanted to go to the camp to serve the king. Du Chong kept him as the governor of Chuzhou. He passed by Huaiyin and happened to meet the Jin army brigade and flocked to him.

Zhao Li's subordinates advised him to go back to Xuzhou, and Zhao Li was furious and said, "When you turn back, you will kill me!" So he led his people straight into the battle with the Jin people, fighting for more than 40 miles, and finally arrived at the city of Chuzhou. Zhao Li was shot in both cheeks and could not speak, but he commanded with his hands and endured the pain. He waited until he entered the city to rest before he pulled out the arrow. The Jin soldiers were very afraid of his loyalty and bravery and did not dare to advance, but changed their route to attack Zhenzhou, broke into Lishui County, and crossed the river from the Ma family to attack Taiping.

Du Chong's courtesy name was Gongmei, and was from Xiangzhou. He loved fame and fortune, was cruel by nature and was fond of murder, and lacked strategy. During the Shaosheng period, he passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination, served as the founder of the Jin Dynasty, and served as the founder of the Guanglu Shaoqing. In the early years of Jingkang, he was appointed as the editor of Jiying Palace and the prefect of Cangzhou. At that time, the Jin people invaded the south, and there were many people living in Cangzhou from Yan land. Du Chong was worried that they were the inner supporters of the Jin people, so he killed them regardless of gender, age.

In the first year of Jianyan, Du Chong was promoted to Tianzhang Pavilion and stayed at Daming Prefecture in Beijing and was transferred to the Privy Councillor.

Xing Guo Yong once made many suggestions to Du Chong, but Du Chong refused to obey him. Guo Yong mocked him: "This person has ambition but no talent, likes fame but has no practical actions. He is arrogant but wants to gain reputation and lets him take on important responsibilities, and it is difficult to end up."

On the eve of the second attack on the Song Dynasty and breaking Kaifeng, Du Chong guarded the Daming Prefecture in Beijing, claiming that "the general ministers are not allowed to sit in the tent, and should act on the tent." It seems that Han Xin's rebirth was not only able to plan and lead his troops to fight. However, when Wanyan Zongwang's Jin Eastern Route Army came, Du Chong did not dare to confront him. The only countermeasure was to order the Yellow River embankment to let the Yellow River flow from Si to Huai, in an attempt to stop the pursuers. The Du Chong not only did not stop the Jin Eastern Route Army, but caused more than 200,000 people to be drowned, and the death caused by displacement and plague was several times higher than that. The richest and prosperous areas of the two Huai River were destroyed, and nearly tens of millions of people were homeless and became refugees.

In July of the second year of Jianyan, Zong Ze, who was determined to fight the Northern Expedition and wanted to recover Hebei territory, died. Du Chong replaced him as the remnant of Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo. After Du Chong took over, he immediately went against the rules. He stopped Zong Ze's deployment of the Northern Expedition and commanded Xue Guang to Xiangzhou on the order of Zong Ze. Wang Shan and Zhang Yong's two ministries were unable to be sent due to Du Chong's obstruction. In the end, Xue Guang died in battle and Xiangzhou fell. The custodial minister Zhao Bushi committed suicide;

Du Chong cut off the ties and support for all the northern civil anti-Jin armed forces, and helped the Jin army sweep the occupied areas. In the autumn of this year, the Jin army did not cross the Yellow River invasion on a large scale. However, the last batch of prefectures and counties in Hedong and Hebei, including Beijing Daming Prefecture and Wuma Mountain Village, were all captured at this time.

After Du Chong took office, he not only stopped expeditioning the Northern Expedition, no longer supported the northern civil anti-Jin armed forces, but also rejected the anti-Jin armed forces that Zong Ze had already recruited as potential enemies. Ding Jin and Yang Jin's tribes first rebelled and became "thieves", and Wang Shan, Zhang Yong and other tribes also had abnormal movements. Yue Fei first followed Lu Jie to the outside world. At the end of the second year of Jianyan, after returning to Kaifeng under Du Chong's order, Du Chong immediately ordered Yue Fei to destroy Zhang Yong and other tribes.

Zhang Yong was a fellow villager of Yue Fei. He used to be a "archer" in Tangyin. He was a brother of Cao Cheng, Li Hong, Ma Youshao and others. He had tens of thousands of troops and Wang Shan was also protecting him. Yue Fei politely refused on the grounds that he was "out of few soldiers". Du Chong threatened with military law and ordered Yue Fei to send troops. Yue Fei was unable to resist, so he could only repel Zhang Yong and Wang Shan's troops with less than a thousand troops, lifted Du Chong's siege, and attacked and chased and suppressed these civilian armed forces that had become bandits.

In June of the third year of Jianyan, Yue Fei had just returned to Kaifeng from other places to suppress bandits, but he received an order from Du Chong to withdraw to Jiankang Prefecture. Yue Fei's persuasion was ineffective, and Du Chong insisted on his own. Although the Jin army was unable to invade the south because it was focused on resolving the anti-Jin armies left by Zong Ze in Hebei, Zhao Gou believed that Du Chong had defended Kaifeng, the nominal capital of Kaifeng for nearly a year during this period, and was a talented person. So he appointed Du Chong to be the chief minister and became the prime minister. Du Chong refused, and Zhao Gou appointed Du Chong as the Minister of Shangshu Right Pushe Tongpingzhang, and his official position was only under the left prime minister. Du Chong took office and served as the Jianghuai Xuanfu Envoy to guard Jiankang.

The Jin Kingdom was led by the left military supervisor Wanyan Chang to attack Huainan, and Jin Wushu led the army to directly attack Jiangnan. Jin Wushu's troops were divided into two routes, led by Wanyan Balisu, Wanyan Yanying and Yelu Mawu on the west route. In October, Huangzhou crossed the river and slaughtered Hongzhou in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and plundered Hubei and Jiangxi areas in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River; Jin Wushu personally led the east route to Lin'an.
