Qu Duan sat in the tent and asked about the loss of Yanzhou. Finally, he asked in a mocking tone: "Restraint, you only know how to love your capital and life, why don't you know how to love the city that protects the emperor? You have come back safely, and where is Yanzhou City?" Wang Shu replied with a sneer: "I have ordered you to rescue Yanzhou many times, but you are afraid of death and refuse to obey. Does this mean that you don't love your capital and life?" Qu Duan was asked, furious and conspired to kill Wang Shu in the army to seize military power.

But Qu Duan felt that he was weak and went to Ningzhou overnight. When he saw Xie Liang, he said, "Yanzhou is the throat of the five routes, and it was lost. Please help me and kill Wang Shu." Xie Liang said, "We must have the above instructions for doing anything. As ministers of the court, we are arbitrary to kill ministers outside. This is a domineering behavior. I dare not do this. You can do it yourself!" Qu Duan was disappointed and returned to Ningzhou. He was so angry that he seized Wang Shu's restraint Yin Xin and detained his subordinates. At this time, the court issued an edict to order Wang Shu to return to the capital to defend. After Wang Shu rushed back to the capital, he self-examined the court for losing Yanzhou. The court did not hold him accountable.

Zhang Jun returned from Fuping, remembering that some of the suggestions from Wang Shu and Qu Duan were reasonable and could be used, so he summoned them. Wang Shu's residence was close to each other and arrived first. He tried his best to explain the strategy to appease Shaanxi and protect Sichuan, and persuaded Zhang Jun to collect Xihe and Qin Feng's troops, guard Guanzhong and Longyou, and to make the next plan to attack Jin. Zhang Jun was unwilling to adopt it. Seeing that Wang Shu didn't use the good strategy, he asked him to go home to stay for his mother for three years, but he did not get approval, so he only gave it to the senator to listen to him under the tent. Later, Zhang Jun remembered that Qu Duan and Wang Shu were like two tigers, and they would inevitably be incompatible with each other. Before Qu Duan arrived, Wang Shu was sent to guard Gongzhou. Before leaving, Wang Shu said to Zhang Jun: "Qu Duan has the intention of rebellion." Zhang Jun was also afraid that Qu Duan was good at winning the heart of a literati, so he had the idea of ​​killing Qu Duan.

In the fifth year of Shaoxing, the court appointed Wang Shu as the prefect of Xingyuan Prefecture and the Likui Road Commander. Wang Shu saw that there were few soldiers here and it was difficult to defend the invasion of Jin soldiers, so he conquered Ji Xing. In several cities in Yang and Sanquan County, two took one person and three took two people to form an army. Everyone called these people "righteous men". They practiced in the county every day and would train in the state once a month. They would reward and reward them for their good performance. In less than half a year, tens of thousands of soldiers could go to the battlefield.

Zhang Jun reported Wang Shu's political achievements to the court, and the court promoted Wang Shu to a direct scholar of Huiyou Pavilion. Some people slandered Zhang Jun and transferred Wang Shu to the prefect of Chengdu. Before he took office, he was transferred to Jiazhou. The next year, Zhang Jun impeached Wang Shu to be rash and take risks, so the court removed Wang Shu from his position and worshipped the ancestral temple at home. Soon, the court appointed Wang Shu to be the master of Suining Prefecture. He felt that the treacherous ministers in the court were in power and did not listen to good words, so he repeatedly applied to resign and refused to give in, so the court agreed.

At the end of the sixth year of Shaoxing, the court appointed Wang Shu as the magistrate of Hubei and the governor of Ezhou. He went to the court to meet him, and Zhao Gou held a banquet to meet him. Wang Shu said: "If your Majesty only wants to protect Jiangnan, I have nothing to say; if you want to restore the foundation of the Song Dynasty, it is better to have Jingzhou as the imperial capital. On the left is the Eastern Wu and on the right is the Western Shu, which are both good barriers, and the South China Sea can provide property. To defend, there are natural dangers in the Yangtze River and blockages of Han water; to attack, you can go out of the Three Rivers, cross the river, and take the Central Plains. This is the fundamental reason why Cao Cao was afraid of Guan Yu back then." Zhao Gou was very interested in this opinion.

He also appointed Wang Shu as the governor of Xianmo Pavilion, the prefect of Jingnan Prefecture and the pacification envoy of Hubei's ruler, and was later promoted to the direct scholar of Xianmo Pavilion.

In October of the seventh year of Shaoxing, Wang Shu was summoned by Zhao Gou to the court as the Minister of War. In the spring of the following year, he went to court to discuss matters. Zhao Gou said, "When you were summoned to the court, Zhang Jun had already resigned. When Zhao Ding was still in the future, I personally promoted you, not anyone suggested." Wang Shu heard this, hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and was grateful. Therefore, he reported to him: "I have not made any contribution to restoring my great achievements in the northern part of the Song Dynasty. I have not made any contributions for ten years. The mistake is to listen to the partiality of the partial belief. It is to be impatient, and hasty, so I am not allowed.

It is to easily grant titles and rewards, and to confuse right and wrong, evil and righteousness. If you can really do something, you will be rewarded and punished for guilt, who will not accept it? In the past, Emperor Guangwu of Han was able to seize the world with force because he would not plunder the people until he was extremely urgent. Those who do not understand military will not be ordered to lead troops to fight." He also talked about the importance of Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces, and asked to send important officials to defend it. Zhao Gou was very happy and promoted Wang Shu to the Minister of War that day. After more than a month, he appointed him as the Deputy Envoy of Privy Council.

The court discussed sending an important official to inspect the border defense. Zhao Gou ordered Wang Shu to deal with the border defense in Jiang, Huai, and Beijing, and Lake Xuanfu Yue Fei heard that Wang Shu was inspecting the border defense and sent a letter saying: "If I don't ask me to go out to the Northern Expedition, then I will hand over the Jieyin of the Xuanfu envoy, and I will go home to work idle." Wang Shushen was moved by Yue Fei's ambition. After patrolling the border, he tried his best to say that the Jin people were cunning and betrayed the alliance. He also reported to Yue Fei for his request to go out to the Northern Expedition, otherwise he would return the Jieyin's statement.

Qin Hui was again prime minister, and he made peace with the Jin people the important matter of the court. In addition, the Jin Kingdom also sent an envoy Wuling Simou, so he asked Zhao Gou to issue an edict to urge Wang Shu to return to the court. Wang Shu tried his best to discuss the mistakes of peace and asked the court to kill the Jin government's envoy. His words were very earnest. The Jin Kingdom sent envoys to come south and wished that as long as peace was discussed, they could cede the land and return Zhao Ji's Lingshu and the Queen Mother. Wang Shu said: "I don't know what the benefits of peace and peace are. I can't believe the wishes of the Jin people." Because he disagrees with Qin Hui, he submitted memorials to resign, so he was dismissed as the Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Hall and went to the prefect of Tanzhou. Li Gang was in Fuzhou and Zhang Jun was in Yongzhou. He also submitted memorials one after another, requesting to refuse the peace, but none of them were rewarded.

At that time, Yue Fei had already returned to Ezhou by the imperial edict and submitted a memorial saying, "The Jin people are not trustworthy, peace talks are not worthy of dependence, and ministers are not good at planning the country, and I am afraid they will be ridiculed by future generations." This naturally refers to Qin Hui, and Qin Hui is of great hatred. In the first month of the ninth year of Shaoxing, the peace talks were completed. Zhao Gou issued a general amnesty. When the amnesty arrived in Ezhou, Yue Fei submitted a memorial and strong advice, saying, "I am willing to win the whole plan, collect the two rivers, and take the hand to swallow the country. I finally want to revenge and repay the country. I swear to heaven and earth, and I still call him a vassal!" Qin Hui was even more angry, so he regarded Yue Fei as a revenge. Zhao Gou promoted Yue Fei to the rituals of the three departments of the government, and Yue Fei refused. Zhao Gou praised and encouraged him again and again, and Yue Fei accepted the order.

The History Museum proofreaded Fan Rugui. Seeing that the Jin people had returned to the land in Henan, he submitted a memorial requesting that the envoys of the tombs be sent to comfort the ancestors. Zhao Gou sent Zhao Shibao, the chief minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Tao, to Henan to build a tomb. Qin Hui dismissed Fan Rugui because he did not tell him first, so he ordered Wang Lun to be the resignation of Tokyo, Zhou Yu was the resignation envoy of Shaanxi, and Fang Ting was the resignation envoy of the three capitals.

Wang Lun arrived in Bian, and the Jin people returned the land of Henan and Shaanxi, and were taken over by Wang Lun. Fang Ting really arrived in Xijing and saw that the tombs of the previous dynasty were excavated, and the Zhezong Mausoleum was even more exposed. Fang Ting really untied his clothes and covered it.

, he came back and told Zhao Gou. Qin Hui was also jealous of Fang Tingshi, and sent Lu Yundi to stay in Nanjing, Meng Yu was also the one who stayed in Tokyo, and Li used Quan to stay in Xijing. Yan Dunfu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, opposed Qin Hui. Qin Hui used profit and wealth as bait, but Yan Dunfu said: "The same nature as Jiang Gui, the more he grows, please don't say it again." Qin Hui was rejected, and slandered him in front of Zhao Gou and led him out of Quzhou.

Yue Fei passed by Ezhou because Zhao Shibao visited the imperial tomb. Yue Fei asked to lead the light cavalry himself and follow Zhao Shibao to sweep the tomb. Qin Hui estimated that Yue Fei had another plan and asked Zhao Gou to issue an order to refute it. Zhao Shibao arrived in Caiying, and the people of Henan welcomed him. He was happy and cried, "I have been separated from the king for a long time, and I will not be a member of the Song Dynasty." Zhao Shibao comforted him along the way. After arriving, he paid homage to the tombs one by one, and after the ceremony, he returned.

Zhang Tao also followed him back to the court to report, and reported to Zhao Gou, "The Jin people invaded the enemy, which would bring disaster to the mountain tombs. Even if they could destroy the Jin Kingdom in the future, it would not be enough to avenge this hatred. I hope that Your Majesty will not forget the national hatred because of peace." Zhao Gou asked if the tombs were damaged. Zhang Tao only kowtowed, but did not answer, and said that this hatred must not be forgotten forever, but Zhao Gou ignored it. Qin Hui hated him again and transferred Zhang Tao to Chengdu Prefecture.

At this time, Wu Jie died in Shu and Li Gang died in Fuzhou. They were both posthumously awarded the title of the Young Master. After the Battle of Xianren Pass, the court appointed Wu Jie as the Prosecutor of the Young Master and moved to the Jiedushi of Fengning and Baojing. When Yue Fei went out to recover the six counties of Xiangyang, Zhao Gou ordered Wu Jie to come to support him. Wu Jie sent Yang Congyi, the commander of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Department, to lead his army to attack the pseudo-Qi and defeat the enemy in Lajiacheng.

In the fifth year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou changed the Shenwu Army to the Xingying Guardian Army, and Wu Jie's troops were renamed the Xingying Right Guardian Army. The following year, Wu Jie also served as the ambassador of Yingtian and was appointed as the governor of Baoping, and Jingnan. In the seventh year of Shaoxing, Wu Jie sent his subordinate general Ma Xizhong to attack Xizhou. Ma Xizhong defeated Xizhou and lost Gongzhou, and Wu Jie beheaded him.

Wu Jie has been in an enemy battle for nearly ten years. He has devoted his life to leading the soldiers of Qinlong, Jingyuan, Jiecheng, and his hometown Deshun Army, guarding the Qinfeng Fortress, and restraining the pressure on the southeast of the Jin people, making the Jin people dare not spy on Shu. In order to reduce the burden on the people, he eliminated redundant personnel several times, tightened expenses, implemented military farms, and developed water conservancy, which was deeply supported by the Shu people.

The peace agreement of the Song and Jin dynasties was reached. Zhao Gou was appointed as the three departments of the founding officialdom and the Sichuan Xuanfu Envoy. Due to the long-term labor of the horse, Wu Jie was seriously ill at this time and submitted a memorial to request dismissal, but Zhao Gou refused. On June 21, Wu Jie died of illness at the Xianren Pass at the age of 47. Zhao Gou stopped court for two days and specially awarded the title of Shao Shi, and later posthumously named "Wu'an". In September, Wu Jie was buried in Shuiluo City, Deshun Army. Because the Jin Kingdom was defeated and invaded, Wu Jie had to be buried in Tianhechi. Zhao Gou heard that Wu Jie's family was "very poor", so he gave his family 30,000 yuan of money.

When Wu Jie was marching and fighting, he followed Sun Wu and Wu Qi's tactics, only talked about long-term strategies and did not seek small profits, so he could win every battle. He ruled his subordinates with strictness and kindness, and often asked humbly and accepted opinions. Although Wu Jie was a general, he could listen to the ideas of the lowest-level soldiers, so the soldiers were willing to serve him to death. When Wu Jie selected generals, he only regarded his merits and did not favor personal feelings for relatives, friends, old friends, or powerful people.

Wu Jie also liked to read history books. Every time he saw something he could learn in the past, he would record it one by one and put it on the right side of the seat. After a long time, the walls were filled with the mottos recorded by Wu Jie.
