"Your Majesty, if the Yellow River bursts, lives will be ruined. It is not known how many people died on the Yinchuan Plain. And it's not just the Yinchuan Plain, there is a possibility that people will die in many places downstream. Yu Yunwen was shocked in his heart and said.

"In order to completely destroy Western Xia, this can only be done. I must not tolerate the existence of hidden dangers in the northwest, and can only completely destroy the Western Xia. Only in this way can I free up my hands and concentrate on dealing with the Jurchens and King Kang, so as to restore the Central Plains and the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Chen said.

"But, Your Majesty, have you ever considered how the people of the world will view Your Majesty? Your Majesty has done this, how will the history books of later generations record Your Majesty? They will inevitably say that His Majesty is brutal and compare His Majesty to such figures as Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Yu Yunwen said.

Emperor Qin and Han Wu were all famous tyrants in Chinese history, and in ancient times, if an emperor was said to be "Emperor Qin and Han Wu", it would be extremely vicious words. Although they were highly meritorious, they did not meet the Confucian standards of "holy monarchs" and were therefore not liked by the ancient Confucian ministers.

"If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of misfortune and fortune! For the sake of the future of my Great Song Dynasty, for the future of my Han people, I can only do this! If I can restore the Central Plains and the Great Song Dynasty, I am not afraid of any rumors, and I am not afraid of how future generations will view me. Even if they say I'm brutal, so what? If I can let the Chinese people live a good life and no longer suffer calamities, I would rather be brutal to outsiders. Zhao Chen said lightly.

"Wechen understands! The bursting of the Yellow River is not only a decision of His Majesty, but also a common decision of our own. Yu Yunwen was silent for a long time and said suddenly.

"It's good that you have that mentality! For the future of the Great Song Dynasty, we must not be afraid of everything, not only not afraid of enemies, but also not afraid of any slander, not afraid of damaging our reputation. Zhao Chen said.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your advice, Wechen has been taught." Yu Yunwen nodded and said.

They left more than 1,000 people on the banks of the Yellow River, and then they headed south together.

The army of more than 200,000 is mighty and the ranks are extremely long, including 200,000 regular troops and tens of thousands of young people from the production and construction corps.

When they first came to Western Xia, many of the soldiers were lightly armed, and they only came here with a few days' rations. Even the youth of the Production and Construction Corps did not transport a lot of supplies.

But now when they go back, they have countless supplies.

Including five million taels of gold and five million taels of silver compensated by the Tangut people, including various riches plundered from various cities in the Tangut. Including a variety of weapons left behind by the Western Xia army.

In addition to these, there are also war horses!

Western Xia is located in the land of the Hetao, which has been a place of horse production since ancient times. The Tangut people were also originally nomadic people, and they were also good at raising horses. At the beginning of the attack on Hongzhou, Youzhou, and Yanzhou, they got tens of thousands of war horses, and then they defeated the main force of Western Xia and obtained more than 100,000 war horses. In April, the army raged throughout the Yinchuan Plain, destroying countless towns and villages of the Dangxiang, from which many more war horses were obtained.

Now there are nearly 200,000 war horses moving south with the army.

For the first time since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the Han Chinese had obtained so many war horses.

"The Hetao area has been the horse breeding ground of my Han people since ancient times, and Lingzhou and Liangzhou were set up here in the Han Dynasty, and it was also our horse breeding land in the Tang Dynasty. We've lost it for years, and now we've finally taken it back again. This time we have 200,000 horses, and we will have more in the future. From now on, we will never be short of war horses. The night was rainy, and hearing the constant sound of horses' hooves beside him, Zhao Chen smiled.

"Yes, we don't have a shortage of horses anymore! Since the establishment of our Great Song Dynasty, we have been able to defend passively because of the lack of war horses. But with the horses, we can take the initiative to attack the enemy. Qu Duan followed Zhao Chen's side, and at this moment, Qu Duan stroked the fur of the war horse under him with his hand, and he was also very excited.

The Song Dynasty lost the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and the Hetao region, and the Song Dynasty army had almost no formed cavalry. Without cavalry, the mobility of the army would have been greatly reduced. Once there is a war on the frontier, it is extremely difficult to get reinforcements. It is even more difficult to fight deep into the enemy's territory. This is also an important reason why the military strength of the Song Dynasty is far inferior to that of the Han and Tang dynasties.

And now, they will again have the Hetao region, with war horses.

"Your Majesty, how will these 200,000 war horses be distributed?" Yu Yunwen said.

"We're going to assemble a real cavalry! I don't think it's better to give all the 100,000 war horses to the forbidden army. The remaining 100,000 horses were distributed among the armies. I really want Yue Fei to form a real cavalry. When I was in the palace, I had not yet ascended the throne, and I used to talk with Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian about the strategies of some foreign tribes on the grassland. Those foreign cavalry archery are truly invincible in the world, and I hope that Yue Fei can train such an invincible cavalry for me. Zhao Chen said.

"Aliens on the steppe? Who are they? Yu Yunwen said.

"Mongols, you know what?" Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen didn't know if there was such a thing as "Mongolia" at this time, he originally thought that Yu Yunwen was not clear, but who knew that Yu Yunwen actually nodded. It turns out that the word "Mongolia" has a very long history, and there is a record of "Mongolia" in the Later Tang Dynasty, but the Han people call Mongolians more "Mengwu Murwei people". It wasn't until Genghis Khan led the rise of the Mongols that the word "Mongol" became widely known.

"The Mongols that Your Majesty spoke of have also been heard by the last general. They were formerly vassals of the Khitans, and now they are vassals of the Jurchens. There were many of them, and there were countless tribes, but their tribes were often at war with each other. And their lives are unusually poor. During the Liao Kingdom, the Khitans did not allow any iron tools to enter the northern grasslands, and it is said that they used bone arrowheads. Your Majesty, are their cavalry really powerful? Qu Duan said.

"Now they may not be great." Zhao Chen was stunned and said with a smile.

Now Genghis Khan has not yet appeared, Genghis Khan is the first person in ancient times, and there is no one in the world who can compare with Genghis Khan. The Mongol cavalry also underwent major changes at the hands of Genghis Khan, and was invincible across Europe and Asia. Now Genghis Khan has not yet been born, and Zhao Chen does not know how the current Mongolian cavalry is.

When Zhao Chen said this, Qu Duan and Yu Yunwen were also stunned.

Zhao Chen laughed and rode forward.

They trudged all the way and didn't stop.

On the fourth day of the fifth month, they came to Jingzhou City.

This Jingzhou City has long since become an empty city, and the party members in it have been expelled towards the north.

"Leave a thousand men to guard here!" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

This is a city after all, and it's best not to abandon it. In the future, when the Han people become more powerful, sooner or later they will have to emigrate here.

On the afternoon of the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, they finally came to Lingzhou City.

The army has not rested since the third day of the fifth month, and at that moment Zhao Chen ordered the army to enter the city to rest.

Zhao Chen himself had already climbed the city wall of Lingzhou City at this moment.

He was looking at the scenery in the distance, where there used to be a lot of farmland that had been destroyed. In fact, in the Han and Tang dynasties, it was a pure military city, and there was no farmland outside, only grassland. After the Tangut people stole Lingzhou and other places, they gradually changed from nomads to semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural people, and countless farmlands appeared here.

"The last general, Zhao Wu, see Your Majesty!" At this time, a voice came from behind Zhao Chen.

"Flatten! From today onwards, you are the commander of Lingzhou, and you will lead 10,000 troops to garrison here! In addition, there will be 50,000 young people from the Production and Construction Corps who will stay here! This place is very close to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, you give me a good watch on Xingqing Mansion! Remember, never let the party members develop again, and destroy them at all costs. You will gallop across the steppes, and no one will be able to resist you. Not only Xingqing Mansion, but also the Western Xia cities in the north, trying to weaken them by all means. Don't let them graze, don't let them farm, drive them farther and more barren north, or force them to accept our rule. Zhao Chen said.

"The last will understand." Zhao Wu nodded.

"Lingzhou, we have lost this place, but from now on, we will never lose this place again." A smile appeared on Zhao Chen's face and said.

On this night, everyone rested in Lingzhou City.

On the morning of the sixth day of the fifth month, they left Lingzhou and headed east.

The rain in the sky gradually disappeared, and the weather finally cleared. At this time, it must have been hot in the Central Plains, but in the grassland, it is still extremely cool.

On the eighth day of the fifth month, the army came to the Gobi again.

Although it is the Gobi, you can also see a lot of grass here. Many places are lush.

The army entered here from the first month, and before you knew it, less than half a year had passed.

The sky is incomparably blue, and the white clouds are long in the distance.

The breeze blew, and Zhao Chen's mood suddenly became unusually cheerful.

He was galloping on the steppe, and the wind was blowing in his face, and he suddenly remembered that many people were coming.

He thought of Song Qinzong, who was his relative in this world. When he was in Kaifeng Palace that day, Song Qinzong treated him very well. Although he and Song Qinzong only stayed for half a year, he had a real father-son love for Song Qinzong. Now Song Qinzong must still be in the Five Kingdoms City in the north, and I don't know what kind of treatment he will encounter. Historically, Song Qinzong's experience was extremely miserable, he was frozen and starved every day, and finally trampled to death by a chaotic horse.

Soon he thought of Empress Zhu again, and when he thought of Empress Zhu, his heart began to darken. Empress Zhu is his mother, and she really loves and cares about him, but Empress Zhu has died in the hands of the Jurchens.

"Actually, I am an orphan, alone in this world. My mother is dead, and although my father is still alive, this father still needs me to rescue him. As for the parents in the previous life, they were eternally separated and would never be able to meet. Zhao Chen sighed softly.

He galloped on horseback, letting the oncoming wind wash away the gloom in his heart.

It didn't take long for him to think of the moon again. Zheyue is such a daughter who can be begged, she bullies herself, is arrogant, and is finally killed by herself. And Zhiyueru, although she is a daughter who can be begged, she is kind, gentle, and pure like a lotus flower. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female red embroidery, and was once a famous talented woman in Guanshan. I didn't know what kind of feelings I had for her, I loved her, I pitied her, and even though she was the daughter of the enemy, I never killed her. And Zhiyueru, she really treats herself as a husband. She was too bound by the ancient three obedience and four virtues, and she lived in the palace of Hanzhong, which must be unusually lonely and lonely.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen was slightly heartbroken.

He shook his head and remembered Song Qingyao again. The woman dressed in white, like a beautiful son, came. She is extremely beautiful, and Zhang Ziqiu admires her incomparably. She has a sense of Jianghu on her body, and she does not hesitate to do what she decides. She said that she liked herself, so she disregarded the safety of the White Lotus Sect and revealed the fact that the White Lotus Sect framed her. In addition, Zhao Chen's memory of her is only some experiences in the palace when she was a child, and she regarded that "A-Yao" as a sister and a good friend that day.

"Strange, how could she like me?" Zhao Chen said.

Then there was the girl in red, Xue Sulai, Zhao Chen was also a ghost that day, and he actually kissed her on the mouth, but was bitten hard.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhao Chen's face.

"A hundred years of life, a spring of grass and trees! When you come to this world, you should have no regrets and do what you want to do! Across the world, galloping the rivers and lakes, only I am the only one, this is comfortable! ”

Zhao Chen burst out laughing.

He galloped forward, and behind him countless soldiers of the imperial camp followed him closely.

A lot of things flashed in front of Zhao Chen's eyes, his speed became faster and faster, and he suddenly entered an ethereal state. He felt that he had learned more about life and about this era.

This time, the Northern Expedition to Western Xia killed 300,000 of the main force of Western Xia, almost completely destroying Western Xia. He saw that his soldiers were desperate to move forward, each going forward one after another, forgetting their lives and deaths, and they would do whatever it took for the fate of the country and the nation! He also saw the valuable side of the women of the Western Xia when the Western Xia perished, and he also saw the heroic temperament of Brother Richard, Wei Ming Anhui and others who were not afraid of death!

He suddenly let out a long roar and danced his sword on the warhorse!

Sword qi emanated from his body!

This sword aura is extremely powerful, as if it wants to destroy everything, destroy everything, and there is no way to resist!

"I should conquer everything and overcome everything with supreme courage, supreme perseverance, and supreme wisdom, and lead my Great Song Dynasty to flourish, so that my Han people can live and work in peace and contentment, and let my Han civilization be extremely prosperous!" Let my nation stand proudly in the world and be admired by all races! And all this is achieved by the sword in my hand! ”

A move of the Taisho swordsmanship appeared from his hand, and this swordsmanship carried a sword intent that was invincible in the world and looked at everything.

This is exactly the sword intent that Zhao Kuangyin comprehended at his peak, and at this moment, Zhao Chen finally comprehended these swordsmanship and sword intent.

******

On May 17, the army came to Yanzhou City!

They rested here for a day, left a thousand soldiers here, and went on.

On the 22nd of May, they arrived in the city of Hongzhou.

Here, they left another 1,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 3,000 young people of the production and construction corps.

After that, they went all the way and never stopped, and on May 25, the army came to Yan'an.

The Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army stopped here, and here was their garrison.

Zhao Chen had just left with the rest of the army when he immediately heard the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis behind him. Presumably, the people of Yan'an Mansion already knew the result of the Western Xia Battle and were cheering at the moment.

On May 27, the army came to Danzhou, Fangzhou and other places, and the Huanqing Army stopped here, which was where the Huanqing Army was stationed.

The Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army and the Huanqing Army are two important lines of defense to prevent the Jurchens from going north! After they came here, at least they didn't have to worry about the Jurchens going north.

On 29 May, the remaining soldiers of the Jingyuan Army came to Wugong County.

In the morning, more than 30 miles away from Wugong County, they first saw a huge field of crops.

These crops are lush and grow excellently.

Zhao Chen got off his horse and came to Tanaka.

Say:

I'm sorry, but there's a lot going on today, and I'm back at eight o'clock. There's only one chapter.,Sorry.。。

A new plot has begun, and it will be even more exciting.
