Many officers and men in the army looked back at the city one after another.

There was no Honghan Mo and those defenders in their eyes, and their eyes fell on Lu Yuwen.

Especially Lu Wenhuan's generals, they are undoubtedly extremely grateful to Lu Yuwen at this time.

Their families were also freed because of Lu Yuwen's voluntary entry into the city.

Honghan had already run to the city early.

When he saw Yeluzhu inside the city gate, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Lord Zuocheng, you have made you suffer." ”

Yeluzhu sighed, "Hongda's words are serious. Yelu cast the body of a criminal minister, and he was extremely ashamed to come back from stealing. ”

Hong Han Mo didn't really hear his words in his heart, so he just said: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and Lord Zuo Cheng doesn't have to take it too seriously." ”

Then he hurriedly invited Yelu Zhuzhi to the palace in the city.

Lu Yuwen was sent back to the Lu family's mansion.

Hong Hanmo really didn't dare to do anything to him, and he didn't even have that kind of thought. just sent troops to confine Lu Yuwen in the mansion.

Because he understands that if he gives Lu Yuwen something, then he may really be destroyed under the monstrous anger of Lu Wenhuan's old department in the future.

Yeluzhu's tens of thousands of troops were defeated in front of the Song army, and he didn't think that his more than 10,000 Xiangyang defenders could block the Song army's attack.

Lu Yuwen was the bargaining chip in his hand to restrain the Song army.

And such a bargaining chip, even if Honghan is bolder, he is reluctant to kill.

Lu Yuwen was not worried about what Honghanmo would do to him, and after returning to the Lu family's mansion, he went to the study to read a book, looking very calm.

After Yeluzhu bathed and changed his clothes, under the arrangement of Honghanmo, he had a banquet with the ministers of Xiangyang Mansion.

During the banquet, the ministers repeatedly complimented and explained Yeluzhu. It's just that Yeluzhu doesn't seem to be very interested.

These people are not qualified to dismantle him at all.

Even if he was defeated, why should he be comforted by these men?

Later, he heard the news that Hong Hanmo was defeated in Fuzhou and that the emperor was about to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty.

He really has his heart set on the Yuan Dynasty.

After the banquet, Yeluzhu hurriedly left Xiangyang Mansion and headed towards Yuanzhongdu under the escort of more than ten masters.

Changsha City.

Zhao Dongting received two letters in succession.

A flying pigeon biography came from Zhou Xingyan, the envoy to the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhou Xingyan said that he had reached a peace agreement with the Yuan Dynasty, and the peace documents were being sent to the imperial city in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

There is also a fast horse report from Changle County.

Since the end of the war in Changle County to the present, the battlefield has been cleaned up early, and the military exploits of all officers and men have been registered.

In the letter, Huang Hua said that the pension had been sent to the homes of the fallen soldiers, and the construction of the martyr's monument began.

More than 38,000 captives of the Yuan army were detained outside Changle County and camped.

Liu Ximad and Kongzhu led the army to stay in the city and help the Fuzhou garrison to guard these Yuan troops.

Lu Yingcai, the commander of the Guangzhou garrison, and Mo Li, the commander of the Liuqiu Kingdom, led the army out of the city and returned to Guangzhou and Liuqiu respectively along the coastal road.

In addition, Emperor A Xing, the lord of the Liuqiu country, wanted to go to Changsha to meet Zhao Dongting.

Regarding the previous letter and the Yuan Dynasty to reach a peace, Zhao Dongting did not feel the slightest surprise.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty in Northern Xinjiang has the advantage, he agreed to marry Turandot on this condition, and Kublai Khan will not have the possibility of continuing to bargain.

Only the latter, Emperor Xinghuang, wanted to come to Changsha to meet him, which made Zhao Dongting's smile a little playful.

This did not come as a surprise to him. It's just that he was a little curious about what Emperor Xing would say to him after seeing him.

Inside the Imperial Study.

After Zhao Dongting put the two letters on the side, he only hastily wrote a few words on the paper, and handed it to Yi Shiyu, "Send this letter to Changle County." ”

What was written on the paper was to send soldiers to escort the lord of the country to the imperial city.

After Yi Shiyu left, Zhao Dongting said to Liu Gonggong, who was waiting next to him: "Gonggong Liu, send someone to tell the state order, and ask him to instruct all the officials in Changle County on the way to the imperial city, and when the honor guard of the lord of the country arrives, be sure to give a warm welcome and be hospitable." ”

"No."

Gonggong Liu bowed down and agreed, and walked out of the imperial study.

Zhao Dongting watched him leave, but he rubbed his temples and sighed softly, "It's really not easy to be an emperor. ”

By now, the military merit reports of the various armies have been submitted to his imperial study.

Song and Yuan are about to negotiate peace, except for Xiao Yulin, Liu Zijun and Yu Xingwen who led the army to Xiangyang Mansion, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is completely stable, and it should be time to reward them.

Even if you cultivate a patriotic heart, you still need to give these meritorious men actual rewards.

Let the horses run, but not give the horses grass. There is nothing so good in the world.

Although this metaphor is a bit inappropriate, it is also an indisputable fact.

Imagine if Zhao Dongting let these soldiers defend the frontier, but did not give them a reward, would these soldiers have no plans in their hearts?

And to give these generals a suitable reward, it is undoubtedly a rather vast siege.

In this campaign that affected the entire Song Kingdom, the forbidden armies of the Great Song Dynasty and the defenders of each city either fought with the enemy army or crusaded against the rebellious people, all of which had military merits. Even if only the promotion of generals at the level of commander of ten thousand commanders in the army needs to be decided by Zhao Dongting, and the reward of the commander level needs to be seen by him, this is also a matter involving hundreds of people.

Zhao Dongting needed to study the past and temperament of these hundreds of people, and then he had to study their respective factions.

The way of the emperor is the way of checks and balances.

Zhao Dongting needs to take into account all aspects. No matter how big his heart is, he is not willing to let a certain family dominate the army.

Even, he didn't want too solid factions to appear in the army.

Because people's hearts are unpredictable, although now the generals of the Great Song Dynasty are closely attached to him Zhao Dongting, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Zhao Dongting knew very well that in addition to those veteran generals in the army, the newly promoted generals, whether they were promoted during the imperial examination or promoted from the army, were definitely not as loyal to themselves as those veteran generals. This time, however, there are many veteran generals who have made outstanding achievements in leading the army, and they will certainly no longer be able to continue to serve as army commanders or deputy army commanders, and can only be promoted to the head of the military region or set up another post in the military aircraft province. When the time comes, those new generals who have made meritorious contributions will have real power in their hands.

Zhao Dongting still has to be cautious about these people.

He had been pondering this for some time.

But fortunately, he is not in a hurry to make a conclusion now, and he still has enough time to figure it out.

Not long after Gonggong Liu returned to the imperial study, Yi Shiyu also hurried to the imperial study.

Zhao Dongting saw him and asked, "Another letter?" ”

Yi Shiyu said: "Back to the emperor, it is a letter from Commander Liu Zhuwen and their army. ”

"Bring it in."

When Zhao Dongting heard this, his face showed a little urgency.

Since Liu Zhuwen and the others have sent a letter, they should have been fighting with the Dali army in Dali.

And whether you can successfully win the entire Dali, you can see some signs from this opening.

If the Great Song Dynasty soldiers are invincible, it will not be difficult to take Dali. And if the Great Song Dynasty encountered a setback just after the confrontation, then it would be difficult to say.

Yi Shiyu hurriedly presented the secret letter to Zhao Dongting's table.

After Zhao Dongting opened it and looked at it, he couldn't help laughing soon, and without waiting for Gonggong Liu to ask, he said: "Commander Miao Cheng and Miao have already taken the Marble City County Lord's Mansion without spending a single soldier." ”

That's probably what MeSign says.

Miao Cheng and Liu Zhuwen have already taken Shicheng County, and the forbidden army of the two armies is in the city. The rest of the soldiers had already continued their march westward a few days ago.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

Gonggong Liu was busy pinching his throat and said: "The emperor has become a martial artist, and he should be the emperor of our Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhao Dongting was already accustomed to this kind of flattery, so he didn't care, and only said: "The defenders of Shicheng County have no intention of resisting, and Duan Qilin, the monarch of Dali, has fled north in a panic, and it is difficult to cause great obstacles to our army in Dali." Gonggong Liu, you go to Xuan Duanshi immediately, I have something to say to him. By the way, let's announce Zhu Haiwang too! ”

It's also time to lay out Dali.

Otherwise, when Liu Zhuwen and they take the Dali Imperial City, it will be inevitable that they will be hasty in the layout.

"No!"

Gonggong Liu took the order and left again.

Zhao Dongting's fingers lightly clasped the table in contemplation.

Duan Shi is the prince of Dali, and the position of the envoy of Dali can only be his. Because of his identity, he can suppress many Dali royal diehards.

Only the real power of Dali, Zhao Dongting is unwilling to hand it over to Duan Shi.
