It is precisely because of the concept that he is not a person all the way that Xiao Ruxun will think about it so much, if he wants to find a civil official as a backer, it is too easy.

However, no matter how you think about it, Xiao Ruxun is unwilling to let herself become an accomplice or a spectator.

He wanted to do something, to do something for this dying country and era.

So Xiao Ruxun looked at Xu Guangqi and shook his head without hesitation.

"You're wrong, son, if I'm careful, what do you think I'll gain? If I am arrogant, what do you think I will get? Or do you think I shouldn't be arrogant? With such a big victory, shouldn't I be arrogant? ”

Xu Guangqi was asked.

Indeed, what does prudence gain? What do you get by being arrogant?

Compared with himself who has no experience in officialdom, Xiao Ruxun has gone from a small general to the current person with the status of the first general of the Ming Empire, and now this status is as stable as Mount Tai and unshakable, doesn't it mean that his ability is stronger than himself?

Would he make a mistake on such a problem?

He must have his own purpose, and the prudence of this general's thinking is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary reckless people.

So, his purpose?

Xu Guangqi hadn't thought too clearly.

It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter if you understand it or not.

Early the next morning, the Northern Expeditionary Army organized a grand celebration banquet, the sergeants slaughtered sheep and cattle to celebrate the victory, and the protagonists of the entertainment program were naturally those unlucky captives, wantonly humiliating those captured Northern captives, letting men kill each other to get a piece of barbecue, and letting women please themselves in various ways in exchange for a little meat to eat, and enjoy the joy of being a victor.

It is a joy that only the victors can enjoy.

The grand carnival banquet did not end until late at night, during which Xiao Ruxun allowed the Ming soldiers to do anything to those captives, they could do whatever they wanted, and they couldn't kill those noble captives who were going to be sacrificed to the emperor, other than that, at will.

Xiao Ruxun treats them very indulgently, outside the Great Wall, they can do whatever they want, Xiao Ruxun himself may not be better than them, at this time, don't be restrained, just let them vent to their heart's content.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Ruxun reorganized the army, announced the division, and ended this short but very significant Northern Expedition.

The end of this Northern Expedition was destruction, Xiao Ruxun ordered the army to completely destroy the Naturalization City, destroy the only stronghold that the Beiyu might have outside the Saiwai, all the corpses were piled together, and the Naturalization City was burned, and the raging fire was still burning three days after the retreat of the Ming army.

This Tumut tribe, the only one with a relationship with the Ming court that was different from all the northern captives outside the Saiwai, ceased to exist, and the Naturalization City, which symbolized decades of peaceful and friendly relations with the Ming court, was also completely destroyed by Xiao Ruxun, symbolizing the complete destruction of this last bond.

There is no need, Da Ming no longer needs such an ally who will betray him at any time.

As for the admirable woman who devoted her life to Tumut's friendship with the Ming Dynasty, she was discovered by the Ming soldiers in the city of Naturalization.

When he was found, this venerable old man was already out of breath, and judging by the situation at the time, he should have been imprisoned here to take care of him, and then he didn't know what happened, no one cared about him, so he starved to death.

It's a very sad way to die.

Xiao Ruxun specially asked people to find a secluded place, built a tombstone for the old woman, and buried her, which can be regarded as an explanation for her life's long-cherished wish, but unfortunately, her dream can no longer be realized.

However, Xiao Ruxun collected a jade pendant that she had always carried with her, and planned to build a jade mound for her somewhere in Jiangnan after returning to Daming, which could be regarded as an insignificant consolation for this old woman who had been yearning for the life of the daughter of the Han family in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River all her life......

When Xiao Ruxun led the army to triumph, the left-behind soldiers who killed Hukou and promised to cheer loudly for the Northern Expeditionary Army, they had not seen such a brilliant triumphal scene since they joined the army, and the excitement of these soldiers was also natural.

Of course, those jealous emotions are not to mention, who makes them not to ride horses?

Fang Shoushi and Sun Chengzong also heard the news and arrived at the mouth of the killing Hu and witnessed this moment of great historical significance.

Xiao Ruxun really did what he said, and wiped out the Beiyu who were entrenched in Naturalization City at any time and might threaten the safety of Daming, and the countless heads and countless cattle, sheep and horses were the best evidence.

From the humiliating loss of the city to the final triumphant return, what kind of road these people have traveled, probably only they know, if the war only ended at that moment, then they were left with nothing but shame.

And the war ended at a glorious moment, which means that they are brilliant and victorious, and this counterattack is victorious, not defeated.

Although a large part of the things they plundered belonged to themselves, under the leadership of the commanders of the various armies, some of them were still taken out and presented to the public in the name of dedication to Xiao Ruxun, so that the Fang Shou, who was anxious about the current situation in Datong, finally saw a little hope.

Sun Chengzong witnessed the scene of the Ming army's triumphant return from outside the Saiwai, which perfectly matched the scene he had dreamed of countless times in his dreams.

The dejected captives, the soldiers with their heads held high, the mighty generals, the hunting and flying battle flags, all show a hearty victory and a subtle change in something unforeseeable.

The mood of victory fades over time, but this subtle change slowly turns into something positive over time, and no one can say exactly what it is.

Anyway, Sun Chengzong is hard to say.

It's just that this victory has had a big impact on him, to the point that it can't be described in words.

The arrival of this victory greatly encouraged the people who were terrified by the previous war, and gave them hope to return to their homes and rebuild their homes.

Although this war brought very heavy losses to Datong Shanxi, fortunately, Datong and Shanxi had enough time to recover their losses.

Next, the protagonists are not Shanxi and Datong, but the sergeants who won this time.

This battle was an indisputable victory, so it was inevitable that a triumphal ceremony would be held, and the number of sergeants was so large that it was not realistic for all of them to participate, and it was inevitable to select some sergeants with relatively large military achievements as representatives to participate in the triumphant debut ceremony.

So a unique "open and secret fight" quietly unfolded.
