Chapter 639

Among the remaining three prison carts, all of them were those high-ranking officials and nobles of the Western Xia who were captured by the Great Song Dynasty, and nearly seven high-ranking officials of the Western Xia who were above the third rank were imprisoned in these three prisoner carts.

As for the 1,000 prisoners of war, in addition to the 700 Proton Army, there were 200 representatives of prisoners of war from all ethnic groups in the party, as well as 100 former members of the Western Xia Iron Harriers.

In particular, the 700 proton soldiers are all the sons and nephews of the dignitaries of the Western Xia Kingdom, but now, they have all become prisoners of the Great Song Dynasty.

This is also why the dignitaries and nobles of Western Xia would be eager to eat the flesh of the Liang clan before they felt relieved of their hatred, if it were not for the defeat of Hongdezhai caused by Xiaoliang and Liang Yiwei, their own sons and nephews would have suffered from the prisoners of that order.

It was precisely under the noise and disputes of these dignitaries and nobles who had lost their relatives that the bigwigs of the party Xiang Eight clans were forced to calm the anger of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces, and someone needed to stand up and take responsibility for the fiasco of Hong Dezhai.

The eighth end of the party will only then join Renduo Zongbao to make a statement to Li Qianshun, the lord of the Western Xia state, that no matter what, the Liang clan must bear the responsibility for this defeat.

In addition, Li Qianshun is also very angry that he has been controlled by his mother Xiaoliang for a long time, so that he has grown so big, but he has no real power, he can only watch the Liang family and its henchmen all over the court, if the Liang family is not destroyed, I am afraid that his position will not be stable.

Therefore, this is the reason why Li Qianshun knew that he would put the Liang family under house arrest without waiting for Liang Yiqi to return to Xingqing Mansion, and then kill or arrest the Liang family's henchmen, but he had to do it hard.

Ma Shang escorted the four prisoner cars to the post station, and the post station officials who received the news naturally did not dare to slack off, and rushed over, and learned that it was Ma Shang, a great hero from Shaanxi Road, who escorted important prisoners of war to stay at the post station, and quickly assigned people to get busy.

And at this time, he suddenly heard a rapid hoof sound from not far away from behind him, and Ma Shang, who had just dismounted and had not had time to step into the post station, couldn't help but look back curiously.

"Hey, it seems to be the messenger of the Shaanxi border army, could it be that something big happened over there?" Xu Zhao and others beside Ma Shang naturally recognized the outfit of the Great Song Dynasty border army.

Marchand could not help but be suspicious, and stopped, and after a short time, the messenger hurried his horse to the front of the inn. After jumping off his horse, he shouted loudly to the people who greeted him. "Eight hundred miles urgently, quickly, quickly change my horse, but there is a ...... to eat"

"Eight hundred miles urgently, this sergeant, our family is Ma Shang, and he is escorting the Western Xia prisoners of war from the Battle of Hongdezhai to Bianliang, Tokyo. Dare to ask the sergeant, are you in such a hurry, could it be that something big happened on the Shaanxi side road? Marchand strode closer, and asked the wheezing messenger who was sitting next to him.

"It turned out to be Gonggong Ma, and the younger one was sent to Bianliang, Tokyo, on the order of Su Xianggong, to deliver good news." The messenger heard Marchand's name, and quickly got up and replied.

"Good news?" Xu Zhao and the others behind Ma Shang couldn't help but be stunned. "Didn't Su Xianggong send the good news of the battle of Hongdezhai to Bianliang in Tokyo before?"

"This general, this good news is naturally not the battle of Hongdezhai, but the good news that my Great Song soldiers captured the entire territory of the Jianing Military Division in Western Xia, and successfully attacked Yanzhou at night, and persuaded Liang Xiangguo and 100,000 Western Xia soldiers and horses to surrender."

Hearing this, Marchand's eyes directly stared at marbles that were about to land, and he lay down in a big groove in his heart. "What you said is true?"

"Naturally it's true, how dare the little one talk nonsense, now the 100,000 horses of the Western Xia have surrendered to my Great Song Dynasty, and my Great Song Dynasty has also captured the entire territory of the Jianing Military Division of the Western Xia, and even more so Yanzhou, an important financial land of the Western Xia."

The messenger answered the question quickly and quickly, took the dry rations from the inn men, took up the new mount, and saluted Marchand and the others. "The little one is about to set off, my father-in-law and the generals, please forgive the small military order, I can't stay for a long time, and I will leave......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned over and jumped on his horse's back, and galloped away towards the east. Left behind a group of people who were shocked by the news he brought.

"This, that's incredible, isn't it?" Xu Zhao and the others muttered there with disbelief on their faces.

"I'm afraid that this big victory has a great deal to do with Wang Wushan......" Ma Shang looked at the back of the messenger running away in a daze, and after a long time, his expression was very complicated.

"Before, Lord Wang once came to our family, asking us to help him implement a plan to persuade Liang Xiangguo of Western Xia to surrender, I remember that at that time, he obtained the permission of Master Su, and the order of Su Xianggong, our family naturally has to follow."

"I just didn't expect that our family led the prisoners of war to leave Shaanxi Road for less than half a month, and they not only successfully persuaded Liang Yiqi to surrender, but also captured the entire Jianing Military Division, as well as Yanzhou, which is known as the Northwest Cornucopia."

The person in charge of the post station who happened to come over happened to hear their conversation, and his eyes couldn't help but straighten up. "Obediently, 100,000 soldiers, plus the 60,000 Western Xia elites who were defeated by my Great Song Dynasty before. Didn't this Western Xia lose 1670,000 horses? ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that, and that Western Xia, in the past, claimed to have 500,000 elites, here, the water is not small, I'm afraid that these 50,000 must be counted even their old, weak, sick and disabled, after all, the whole country of Western Xia, the population is only three or four million."

"The Western Xia has been fighting with my Great Song Dynasty for many years, and there have always been many boys and girls, and I have heard Mr. Wushan's analysis before, and the total number of men in the Western Xia will not exceed 1.2 million. So those 500,000 elites, I'm afraid they refer to all the adult men in Western Xia......"

"Now that the most elite army of Western Xia has suffered such huge losses, this fierce enemy of my Great Song Dynasty in the past is really like a delicious piece of fat now......

"Alas, it's a pity that we took a step earlier, otherwise, maybe we would have a share ......of these credits," Xu Zhao and the others couldn't help but sigh and sighed.

Not to mention them, even Ma Shang himself was in a very melancholy mood, before, Wang Yang had invited him to stay on Shaanxi Road to continue to do things.

However, the previous battle of Hongdezhai really made Ma Shang, a father-in-law who had been pampered in the palace for a long time, heartbroken. The bloody scene, as well as the mountains of corpses, really made Ma Shang feel that it was better to return to Bianliang, Tokyo, the imperial capital of the Great Song Dynasty, to enjoy a peaceful life.
