Li Qi looked at the blood-colored battlefield and couldn't help sighing: "It's the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other...... It's best to win two years of peace in this battle! ”

Yuan Xingqin had already taken off his helmet, held it in his hand, and said after hearing this: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, then Li Siyuan may be annoyed and angry, and personally lead the army to find Your Majesty desperately." ”

Li Qi looked at Yuan Xingqin and smiled: "This righteous son accepted by my grandfather is calm-minded, seems to be loyal and brave, but in fact, he is cunning in his heart like a green wolf on the grassland, and he will not do things that he is not sure of." He seems to be in control of the court, but in fact, there are not many trustworthy generals in his hands, nothing more than Shi Jingyong, Li Congke and Huo Yanwei and the like, and now after suffering this serious loss, there are only more than 70,000 soldiers and horses left, I bet he doesn't dare to take risks! ”

Yuan Xingqin said: "I hope so, what should those generals do?" ”

Li Qi got up and got on his horse and said: "Let's talk about the advanced city, and immediately send people to report to all places, just say that the Jinyang army has successively recovered Youyou, Zhener and two towns, won a great victory in Jiashan, and annihilated more than 50,000 enemies ......"

Yuan Xingqin said: "Actually, there are not so many. ”

"It's almost enough to add those Khitan captives, and the number of this propaganda must be reported higher, so as to scare those local festival envoys and generals who are swaying from side to side."

After entering Quyang City, which was a little panicked from the battlefield full of blood, Li Qi finally felt physically and mentally exhausted, and he slept first in the backyard of the county office, and did not wake up until the evening.

Lu Yan, the secretary of the Chinese army, came in: "Your Majesty, the Yiwu Army has made Wang Dewen a great victory in Jiashan, and he has come to reward the army." ”

Li Qi said: "This time I have to come back quickly, I'm afraid that I will occupy Xinle and Quyang and not give it to him?" ”

So he raised the tent in the county office, summoned the generals, and escorted the captured generals of the southern army in.

Wang Yanqiu was bound and escorted in, and saw that the generals Zhang Qianzhao and Jiang Shiqing were standing in the hall, so he said: "I can't wait for you, how can you bear to betray me?" ”

Zhang Qianzhao opened his mouth to answer, but saw Li Qi get up and said angrily: "The first emperor also treats you well, why did you turn your back on the first emperor?!" After that, when he walked into the hall, he grabbed Du Yanqiu with a punch and kick, and scolded while beating: "You are disloyal and unjust, you are so tired that the first emperor died, do you still have the face to say others?!" ”

Du Yanqiu was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his face was covered with blood, but when he heard Li Qi's scolding, he felt ashamed, but he didn't dare to fight back.

Li Qi beat Du Yanqiu, his anger subsided slightly, and then he looked at Zhu Hongzhao behind him.

Xuanhui envoy Zhu Hongzhao said: "Weichen is willing to return to the Son of Heaven!" ”

After hearing this, Li Qi immediately said angrily: "Some of my subordinates are generals who command the army, why do you want to wait for the villains to do it?" Waiting for your betrayal? After that, he punched and kicked Zhu Hongzhao again.

He came to Gao Xingzhou again.

Gao Xingzhou said in a loud voice: "Shi can be killed but not humiliated, he was captured today, but he begged to die, why should His Majesty insult people too much?!" ”

Li Qi sneered: "You first did Yan, then descended to Jin, and then betrayed the first emperor, you are tough on your lips, and you really think you are a good man?!" So he added his fists and feet to Gao Xingzhou.

Lu Yan looked stunned below, so he turned his head sideways and looked at Yuan Ren beside him: "Your Majesty, what is this doing?" ”

Yuan Ren said: "The Son of Heaven was protected by the pro-army in the middle on the battlefield today, and he didn't kill the enemy, and he was angry in his heart, he just wanted to beat people!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Yan had to shake his head and be speechless.

Li Qi beat these Southern Army prisoners one by one, and most of his anger dissipated, and then returned to his seat.

An Xianqi had already heard about the cause of An Xiantong's death, and stepped forward and said, "The last general is willing to personally kill Du Yanqiu!" ”

Li Qi shook his head when he heard this: "Their crimes are not as good as death, escort them back to Jinyang, and these people will feed the pigs and sheep for me for ten years!" ”

After disposing of the captured generals of the Southern Army, Li Qi immediately feasted the generals and rewarded the three armies, and then ordered Pei Yue and Fu Yanqing to lead the army to escort more than 20,000 Southern Army soldiers to Shanbei and Yunzhou, and placed them in various Tuntian military camps and incorporated into military households to enrich the border garrison.

Let's say that Li Siyuan ordered Shi Jingtang to lead an army of 30,000 to aid Youzhou, and as soon as he arrived in Cangzhou, he got the news that the southern army was defeated in Jiashan and Wang Yanqiu's entire army was annihilated. There is also Wei Bojiedu, who made Zhao Zaili say that the army's heart is unstable and he does not want to leave the town. Li Siyuan knew that he was suspicious and fearful, and he was reluctant to send troops, but under the current situation, he was helpless for the time being.

After the victory in Jiashan, Li Qi got another piece of good news. It turned out that Lu Longjiedu, who had taken refuge in the Khitan, made Lu Wenjin, because Yelu Abaoji was suspicious and afraid of the Shulu clan after his death, and took the initiative to contact and take refuge in the Central Plains Dynasty. It happened that the new lord of the Khitan was invited by the vulture, and sent Tiyin Trigon to lead more than 7,000 cavalry troops to aid Dingzhou.

The Khitan army marched to Pingzhou, but was persuaded by Nalu Wenjin to enter the city under the persuasion of Yuan Xingkai sent by Li Qi, and after getting drunk at the banquet, he even captured the Khitan cavalry, and only used it as a certificate to vote for the Later Tang.

Li Qi was overjoyed when he heard the news, and personally led the army to Youzhou, and now he had to sit in the town himself, for fear that the new Khitan lord Yelu Deguang would be angry and raise the army to the south to attack Lulong.

Before Li Qi arrived in Youzhou, Shi Jingtang also led the army to Youzhou, and Fu Yanchao saw that the southern army was strong, so he had to withdraw the siege of Youzhou and set up camp in the north of the city. By the time Li Qi led his army to Youzhou, Shi Jingtang had already joined forces with Zhao Dejun. Fortunately, the new Khitan lord Yelu Deguang is focusing on cutting off the henchmen of the former prince "Human Emperor" Yelu Bei because of the fierce internal strife, and he has no time to look south for the time being, so he just sent Yue Yelu to lead the army to recover Lulong.

Seeing that it was no longer possible to capture Youzhou, Li Qi could only order Lu Wenjin to give up Lulong, and Lu Wenjin moved more than 20,000 households of Lulong's army and civilians to Shanbei. After covering Lu Wenjin and Lu Long's army and people to move safely from Youzhou to Shanbei, Li Qi immediately withdrew from Youzhou and appointed Lu Wenjin as the envoy of the Chengde Army, and Yuan Xingkai as the defense envoy of Zhenzhou, stationed in Zhaodi.

Yerod sent an envoy to denounce Wang De and Lu Wenjin for treachery, and also asked for Tiyin Trigon and others. Li Qi agreed to release more than 50 Khitan leaders such as Triyan, but as for the more than 7,000 cavalry under their command captured by Lu Wenjin, they refused to return it and included it in his own naan.

In late July, Yang Zhaoyuan, the guard of Houtang Waqiao stationed in Xiongzhou, surrendered to work, and Jinyang had all Xiong and Mozhou, but it was an unexpected gain. This Yang Zhaoyuan is the father of Yang Hongxin, the Jinyang Inspector, and a veteran of the Jin Army. In the early years, he broke off an arm in battle, but he was still trusted by Zhuang Zong and regarded him as the general of Youzhou. After taking refuge in Jinyang this time, he went to Youzhou to meet the Son of Heaven, but said that he was old and willing to beg to return to the state for the elderly.

Li Qi agreed to his request and appointed him as the assassin of Daizhou, and Wang Quanbin, a personal general, succeeded him as the general of Waqiao Pass, guarding Xiong and Mo Erzhou. At this point, in addition to Youzhou, the territory of the Northern Army expanded to the north bank of the Hutuo River, bordering Cangzhou, which was controlled by the Southern Army. After a big battle between the north and the south, the final result was that Jinyang occupied an important town in Hebei and its strength increased greatly. The northern army seized the important town of Zhenzhou, and the momentum was flourishing, so it ordered Shi Jingtang to recruit envoys for the north, and guarded the two towns of Youzhou and Cangzhou, and temporarily stopped military operations due to insufficient troops.

Since neither side has any intention of launching an attack now, it is all right. Li Qi was also unable to expand the results of the battle, and when he captured Youzhou, he had to temporarily stop and quit his troops.

He stayed outside Youzhou until September, and waited until all parts of Youzhou Zhenzhou gradually stabilized, the autumn wind gradually rose, and it was expected that there would be no more major battles, so he withdrew his troops and returned to Jinyang.
