Yang Huaiyu and the Southern Route Army in his hands were quite uncomfortable, because they had to watch the Western Route Army and the Eastern Route Army gradually withdraw, and even sixteen of them had to start withdrawing.

And they can only continue to help these robes to cover up, seeing that the New Year is approaching, who doesn't want to follow back to the court, and the soldiers will also go home for the New Year!

The reward came unexpectedly, and when Yang Huaiyu saw such a rich reward, he knew that he was definitely going to spend this year in Western Xia.

Along with the reward, Zhao Zhen personally wrote a letter to the soldiers.

It should be circulated in the army, so Yang Huaiyu selected a few soldiers with the loudest voices to stand in the barracks to preach, and at the beginning, he made a group of soldiers on the battlefield red-eyed.

"My name is Zhao Zhen, although I am the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but like you, I am a son, a husband, and a father, and what you have experienced is the responsibility that comes with these identities. I am the same as you, I have not returned from the expedition for three years, and I miss my wife and children at home very much, at that time I had to do it, I can only miss my relatives in the land of Yanyun, I understand what you are thinking now, but I can only reward the three armies with the heart of the three armies! When you return to the court, I should lead a hundred officials to welcome him! ”

The words of this letter are very simple, and in Yang Huaiyu's opinion, it is even a little numb, but this is Zhao Zhen's cleverness......

Many people couldn't help but burst into tears after listening to the slightly stalked reading sound in the army, thinking about the official soldiers who followed the royal drive to Yanyun, the soldiers only felt numb, and the heavy responsibility was on their shoulders, in fact, compared to the bloody battle on the battlefield, what is the pain of homesickness in front of them?

Besides, the official family didn't owe him anything, but he was uneasy about taking so many rewards.

"The official family is really benevolent and righteous, such a rich reward is not counted, and he said such a true temperament to us, it is worthy of the official family that we killed the enemy in blood!"

"Look at what you mean, what do you mean by being with us? Back then, the Northern Expedition was a good fate, and we were able to follow the official family to kill the enemy together! ”

"It's me who said nonsense, I should be beaten!"

"So, we can't go back this winter?"

"Where are you going? You don't have to fight until you go back, and you have such a generous military salary, how can you go back with a thick face? Don't say it's someone else, even you look down on yourself! ”

"My mother is seriously ill, and this winter is very cold...... I'm worried about ......."

"Worried about what?! The three brothers of your family are in the back of the Wei army, this time they went to the Yanyun Side, some of them have time rotation, and you are not bad when you go home to do your filial piety! ”

"That's it, besides, there are three soldiers in your family, and your wife is definitely auspicious in the eyes of the local parents and officials, and she can't provide for it well, and the end of the year and the end of the year will be in these days, hehe...... I can't wait until you go home, your mother's illness will already be cured! ”

The army is full of such robes, once they hear that someone has something to go back to, they are all on the side to persuade and explain, the atmosphere is also harmonious, and Zhao Zhen gave not only rewards and comfort letters, but also the most important thing, the postal route......

Yang Huaiyu was relieved when he saw Di Yi appear at the gate of the barracks, he knew that there was no big problem this time.

Sure enough, the officers and men in the army shouted and cheered excitedly when they saw the handing post.

They all knew that the appearance of the post meant that they could pass the letters home, and their families could also pass on their thoughts to the distant Northwest Army.

At this time, the spiritual reward was more effective than anything else, and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty came out of the shadow of not being able to go home for a while, and they all smiled and shouted long live.

There is nothing more uncomfortable than missing your hometown during the New Year's Festival, with the handing station, at least this kind of longing can be turned into pen and ink, passed on to distant relatives, and can also receive the news of relatives, how can they not be excited?

"Long live the official family!"

Not only was it who was the first to shout such a chant, but the soldiers in the Great Song Army echoed one after another, and their voices drifted into the distance with the cold wind.

At this time, Yang Huaiyu, who had solved the big trouble, did not breathe a sigh of relief, but looked nervously at the map of the Western Xia in front of him, which was the most complete information collected by the Imperial City Division in the Western Xia.

Yang Huaiyu decided to continue according to the strategy left by Xia Zhu, on the one hand, pretending to be the illusion that hundreds of thousands of elites of the Great Song Dynasty were all in the northwest, and on the other hand, speeding up the pace of migration of party members, the easiest way is to kill chickens and monkeys, and start with the most difficult bones to gnaw.

Di Qing Xia Zhu, the two old partners in the army, have withdrawn with the army, and the only thing Yang Huaiyu can rely on is Fan Zhongyan, who has been enlightened by the officials of the DPRK and China, I heard that his ability to do things is quite amazing, Yang Huaiyu has heard several anecdotes about Fan Zhongyan, dividing porridge and cutting off the teeth, skillfully governing the road administration, and so on, all of which reflect the wisdom he should have as a civil servant.

For such a person, Yang Huaiyu is still willing to humbly ask for advice and cooperate with him, and Yang Huaiyu, who has a straightforward temperament, likes Fan Zhongyan's style of saying one thing the most, and there is no most annoying thing about those courtiers.

When Yang Huaiyu walked into Fan Zhongyan's official office, what he saw was a mountain of dusty scrolls, and Fan Zhongyan who looked like a red-eyed rabbit.

The dignified Ningxia Road passed through a little envoy, and it actually became like this, which really surprised Yang Huaiyu.

"Why is Fan Jingluo so haggard?!"

Fan Zhongyan smiled silently, pointed at Yang Huaiyu and said, "It's not because of your biography?!" The strategy of the Xia Jian Army is excellent, and you have to use the strategy of killing chickens and monkeys to deal with those Western Xia wealthy clans, I can only read all the volumes of these wealthy clans carefully, and find out the weaknesses from them, so that you can start! ”

Yang Huaiyu looked at Fan Zhongyan in surprise and said, "You are really interested, have you found anything?" ”

"Naturally, hard work pays off, the Duye clan under Helan Mountain is considered to be a big clan among the party members, about 30,000 people, but now there are not many soldiers, after the battle of Xingqing Mansion, the remaining 5,000 soldiers can fight......"

Yang Huaiyu looked at Fan Zhongyan and said, "So the envoy is planning to let me use this sick tiger to stand up?" Why not find one of the strongest in Ningxia? ”

Fan Zhongyan rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you looking for the strongest?" Surrendering without a fight is the best strategy! This capital is a wealthy family among the party members, although it has declined, but its reputation is outside, if you can break it with a thousand people......"

"Thousand?!" Yang Huaiyu exclaimed: "Then how many of these thousand people are left in the end?!" ”

Fan Zhongyan raised his eyelids: "Win with the right fit!" What if 5,000 men are powerless? ”

"You mean poison?!"

"I didn't say that, but it's possible that they ate something unclean, and now it's freezing, why don't they eat?! What can't be used for heating? ”

Yang Huaiyu trembled slightly, these literati are sometimes no less murderous than generals like themselves......
