"General Huyan, how are the casualties of our army?"

Zhao Gou asked in a low voice with a solemn face, this time in the Battle of Youzhou, he did not count the number of deaths in detail, but occupied Nanjing City as soon as possible.

After all, Nanjing City is a very important city in Liao, and its geographical location is extremely special. Moreover, the victory of the Youzhou War can be said to be something that has not happened since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. It is difficult to count how many Song Dynasty generals have died here, and how many Song people have been killed or wounded.

"Twenty thousand of our soldiers died, and 10,000 were seriously injured of varying degrees." Hu Yanzhuo said in a very heavy tone.

"What are the casualties of the Liao army?" Zhao Gou then asked.

"The Liao army killed 40,000 people, seriously wounded 10,000 people, and captured 30,000 prisoners." Guan Sheng said in a deep voice, "In addition, our army also captured 10,000 war horses, 100,000 bows and arrows, and a total of 30,000 baggage and other items. ”

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "There are 10,000 war horses, and you can use the captured war horses to train a group of cavalry, and this matter will be handed over to you and General Huyan." ”

Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo replied in unison: "No! ”

"As for the arrows, baggage, and so on, they will be distributed." Then, Zhao Gou passed down an order to let all the soldiers rest.

Due to the approaching cold winter, Zhao Gou asked everyone to rest and recuperate, and did not prepare to march in a big way. However, he is not prepared to sit idly by, or do nothing. Instead, the soldiers were given time to recuperate, so that they could recuperate.

This time, more than half of the casualties in the Battle of Youzhou were killed, but it won a huge victory. In the midst of the war between Song and Liao, this victory was a real pride.

…………

Thousands of miles away in the palace of Bianjing City, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, the current emperor Song Huizong received the good news from Zhao Gou, and his face was full of pride.

Since the founding of the country, the Song and Liao have fought several times, and when they were the strongest, they were only evenly divided, not to mention that the Song Dynasty was defeated in the later wars.

Now Zhao Gou has captured the city of Nanjing and captured one of the "five capitals" of the Liao Dynasty, which is already great news, and it is really a celebration for the whole country.

Song Huizong smiled for the first time in a long time, and the ministers who were not optimistic about this war also shut up because Zhao Gou had achieved such a big victory, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

If it is still said at this time that Luo Zhao is not, then it is really uninteresting. Now that Zhao Gou has achieved more achievements than anyone else, this battle exploit is enough for him to stand on the court, who dares to say that he is not.

However, there are still people in the DPRK and China who vigorously oppose the use of troops. Even if the Song army rarely suffered defeats, the ministers of the court and the central government still felt that it was unreasonable, and those people were stubborn and stubborn.

Song Huizong was furious, and directly dismissed all of them and let them think about it behind closed doors in the mansion. Since then, the DPRK and China have only stabilized a little, and there has not been much opposition.

Seed Master Dao and others, who were originally opposed to sending troops, also changed their concepts and began to support Zhao Gou's march. Because of this, Song Huizong asked the seed army to go to support.

Seed Master Dao is not the kind of stubborn person, he knows how to be flexible, and seeing Zhao Gou's successive victories, his hanging heart was put down, and he repeatedly asked Ying to fight, and finally agreed to his request.

"Brother Huang, it seems that the structure has exceeded our expectations, and even the great work that the ancestor has not yet completed may be able to be completed in his hands."

Zhao seemed to praise sincerely, which made Song Huizong even more happy, he was indeed elated, the Great Song Dynasty won a big victory, and he was naturally ecstatic as the king of a country.

"Haha!" Song Huizong's hearty laughter was particularly loud in the palace, and he said, "I didn't expect him to be so powerful, far exceeding my expectations." ”

The victory in Youzhou was an inspiring event that inspired the entire Great Song Dynasty. not only declared the strong combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty, but also the brave and good generals, which made Song Huizong, who was the emperor, look bright.

"Brother Huang, since Gou'er has made such great achievements, isn't it ......" This matter is not the first time that Zhao Yi has mentioned it, and it happened to take advantage of the opportunity of Long Yan Dayue to bring it up again.

However, Song Huizong restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to discuss this matter, just do it as before." As for the outcome, everything has its own arrangement. ”

Zhao seemed to shrug his shoulders stupidly, he really didn't understand why his imperial brother still did this. If it had been before, he would have understood. It's just that Zhao Gou's achievements can cover up everything, but Song Huizong insisted on going his own way, and it is not known whether the result is good or bad.

…………

"Wolf lord, the Song army defeated the Liao army in Nanjing City and captured Youzhou at the cost of 30,000 people. Now that about half of the territory of the sixteen states of Yanyun belongs to the Song Dynasty, if our army goes south again, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult. ”

Wan Yansheng said in a low voice, he was really unwilling in his heart, the good city of Nanjing was actually captured by the Song army. The victory of the Song army disrupted Yan Sheng's plan, and he originally wanted to use Youzhou as a springboard to invade the Great Song Dynasty in the south.

Now it is good that the city of Nanjing was captured by the Song army and completely occupies the most central position. If you want to invade again, I am afraid that you will pay a heavy price. Now, the Liao army is retreating under the iron hooves of the Jin soldiers, and there is no power to fight back, but at this time, such a thing has happened, which makes the ambitious Wan Yansheng angry.

"It seems that we all underestimated the Song Dynasty!" Wanyan Agu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that the things behind will have to be discussed in the long run, and if you attack rashly, I'm afraid that there will be more luck and less luck!" Today, we are still focusing on attacking Liao, and it is beneficial and harmless for us to have the Song army to contain the forces in southern Liao, and we can only break through Shangjing as soon as possible. ”

"The Song people don't have our strong physique, but their moves are really powerful, which has to be guarded against. Now, the city of Nanjing is occupied by the Song army, and this news must have made the Liao Emperor restless. If the Liao army sends troops to support, then our army will have a lot less obstacles, and it will not be far from breaking through Shangjing. ”

After thinking about it, Yan Sheng also thought that this matter was not a bad thing. Although it disrupted his plan, it generally had no effect.

"We'll see!" Wan Yansheng recalled that Zhao Gou and the others were full of killing intent in their eyes, and he couldn't wait to kill them all immediately, and thought silently: "Don't worry now, after Liao is destroyed, you wait!" ”

…………

"What? The city of Nanjing lost? ”

When Emperor Liao heard the news, he was stupid, he thought he could resist for a while, but why did he lose ground like this, as if everything was like a dream.

"What do you do to eat, the Song army is not as strong as our army, and there is a favorable time, place and people, how can it be defeated? How could it be lost? ”

Emperor Liao Long Yan was furious and scolded: "It's really a bunch of rice buckets, let him see me quickly, see if I don't kill him!" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Governor of Youzhou has died on the battlefield!" The ministers hurriedly replied.

"What? It's dead, it's good to die! ”

Emperor Liao did not have a trace of regret, but thought that this was a normal thing, he was still immersed in his emperor's dream, and he still did not realize that the crisis was coming.

When the ministers saw their emperor say this, it made them very chilled. The generals fought bravely on the battlefield, and even the emperor did not remember their exploits, and took it for granted that they died on the battlefield.

A sense of powerlessness naturally rose in the hearts of the people, and they tried their best to serve the country and the king, but they were not respected, not to mention, and even denied all their merits, and their hearts fell to the bottom.
