Unknown wildflowers secretly bloomed, and the wind blowing on the face no longer had a hint of chill, and spring came.

On a hill on the edge of Zhuoluo City, Xu Ping read the sacrificial text, burned it in front of the monument, and stood quietly for a while. Several hills in the vicinity are densely packed with newly erected graves, burying the party soldiers who died in this battle. Kindness and thunderbolt are never opposites, and in fact, without mercy, only violence may remain, and there will be no majesty.

Collecting the dead in battle, Xu Ping did not do it for others to see, but felt from the bottom of his heart that he should do so. He hopes to bring out a character for the troops, a character that is indomitable and invincible based on a sense of responsibility, rather than just fighting and killing. The king should have the demeanor of the king, and not only the tiger and wolf like Fanhu.

Raising his head and turning around, Xu Ping said to Tan Hu on the side: "Oshino Liyu is begging to come over." ”

Tan Hu promised, and after a while, he led the soldiers to escort Ye Liyu to Xu Ping.

Xu Ping looked at Duo Baoqing, the people who were sacrificing on the side, and then looked at Yeli Yuqi, and said: "Before burning the city, I will make it clear to you, as long as you abandon the staff, I will ensure that the people and horses in the city are safe and sound, and you have no worries about food and clothing." The result? Not only did you not surrender yourself, but after returning to the city, you also falsely spread my words, saying that the soldiers and horses in Zhuoluo City were not allowed to surrender. Yeli beggar, most of the tragedy of burning thousands of people this time will be counted on you. ”

Ye Liyu begged expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Today I am a prisoner of your subordinates, and it is up to you to say anything." But you always set the fire, and I was burned in the city too! ”

"As the commander of an army, he should be a compassionate soldier. If you don't surrender to Zhuoluo City, then I will inevitably choose a method that will cause less damage to the soldiers of my headquarters to break the city, and it is imperative to pile up wood and burn the city. I set the fire well, and even now, I want to say that the fire is as deserved! And you are deceiving the people when you know that the whole city will die. ”

Seeing that Ye Liyu was begging with a black face and no longer spoke, Xu Ping said: "You are respected in the party, and now that you are captured, I can only send someone to escort you to the capital and dispose of it by the imperial court, and I can't take your life here." I had to learn from the ancients to send the head and the soul of the underground. Come, go to Ye Liren and meet the beard on his head to pay tribute to the undead underground! ”

Tan Hu agreed, brought two soldiers up, held Ye Li Renyu down, and his own soldiers cut off Ye Li Yu's hair, and burned it before confessing. When many people saw it, Baoqing only felt mixed feelings.

After burying the party members who died in the battle, and bringing the bodies of the dead on his side, Xu Ping ordered to return to the division. After crossing the Yellow River, the city of Lanzhou was still abandoned, and the whole army returned to Yuzhong and Dingxi City to maintain the pre-war situation.

In the first battle between Zhuoluo and Nan, the Dangxiang army was defeated on all fronts, and the contact with the Hehuang and Tibetan tribes on the eastern front was interrupted. Yak City is where the Xuanwei Army is located in the Tang Dynasty, also known as Xuanwei City, and has a good relationship with the Sang Yi Army. However, now Xu Ping has no time to look westward, and he has to go all out to deal with the Xishou Supervision Military Division east of Huizhou, and compete with the party army for the gourd passage.

The one who benefited the most from this battle was the Qingtang Dynasty, without the support of the party, it was no longer so difficult for him to join forces with Brother Zongge and Miaochuan, and the situation in the Hehuang area changed. The second is Shazhou, Guazhou, Suzhou, Ganzhou, and Liangzhou in the Hexi region, where the party has not occupied for a long time, and its rule is not stable, and the defeat in Zhuoluo and Nan may cause unrest there.

On February 21, the day of Bingwu, because of the solar eclipse, the yuan was changed to "Kangding" in response to the changes in the sky. On the same day, the tone of Deyin was lowered to appease the soldiers and civilians of Shaanxi Road. On the same day, Fu Bi of the Governor's Yuan wrote a letter to abolish the ban on overstepping his duties after Fan Zhongyan was demoted.

When Zhao Zhen returned to the palace, he only felt physically and mentally exhausted. After the First Battle of Sanchuankou, people's hearts fluctuated, and because Huang Dehe falsely accused Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun of surrendering to the enemy, they received the support of the internal servants inside and outside the court, and the case was not settled for a long time, and the government and the opposition discussed a lot.

The Battle of Sanchuanguchi was not about how big the losses were, but the most important thing was to defeat the most elite forbidden army, and the loss of two generals in charge of the army at one time, which made the imperial court lose confidence in the forbidden army. Yuan Hao led his troops to attack the city of Yanzhou, and the battle line was pushed to the hinterland of the Song Realm, which made the people of the West Road uneasy. The combination of the two made Zhao Zhen feel a lot of pressure.

In addition to court clothes, he changed into civilian clothes, and Xiao Huangmen served a bowl of chicken soup to let Zhao Zhen replenish his spirit.

Zhao Zhen had just picked up the bowl, and a small yellow door came to report in a hurry, and Li Di and Lu Yijian took Zai Zhi to see him outside the vertical arch.

Putting the bowl down, Zhao Zhen only felt that his head was as big as a bucket, and asked weakly: "Why did you come from?" ”

Xiao Huangmen said loudly: "Listen to your ministers, it is a great victory for Qin Fenglu!" The good news has just arrived in the capital, and I came to report the good news to the officials! ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and only asked after a while: "What did you say?" Is it good news? Where's the big win? ”

"The official family, it's Qin Fenglu's victory! Xiao only listened to such a sentence, and how it is, I have to listen to your minister. ”

Zhao Zhen stood up abruptly and turned around twice in place, not knowing what to do for a while. It wasn't until the little yellow door reminded the people that they were still waiting outside the vertical arch that they said: "Let you enter the palace and wait in the Chongzheng Palace." ”

The little yellow gate that came promised to go out, and Zhao Zhen ordered to move to the Chongzheng Palace. After taking two steps, he stopped again, and instructed the little yellow door beside him: "Wait, wait for me to change into court clothes again, how can such a big thing be sloppy!" ”

Xiao Huangmen said in a low voice: "Official, when you see the minister, you should wear civilian clothes, so you don't have to bother." ”

Where is Zhao Zhen willing to listen, he must change into court clothes before leaving. Counting the time, this victory was fought after Shi Quanbin arrived in Qinzhou and brought his own words to Xu Ping. Although he does not know the specific situation of the battle, he believes that he will not let himself down, and if he can stabilize the morale of the upper and lower ranks of the DPRK and the Central People's Army, this victory will definitely be small. The scale is not necessarily greater than the first battle of Sanduchuan, but this time it must be the regular army of the party, and it is no longer the king of the soil like Yuzang Huama. Perhaps, it is the capture of Huizhou mentioned earlier. Changing into court clothes to show solemnity, this is not for you to see, but for this good news in the snow.

In the Chongzheng Palace, Li Di and Lu Yijian stood solemnly with all the rulers, but their faces were swept away by the gloom of these days, and they were obviously relaxed. Soon after the party defected to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen broke the old rule that the government hall and the privy council did not communicate with each other, and selected a new place not far from the government hall to let the two governments discuss state affairs together. With this rule, there is a Zaizhi who comes together.

Today's waiting time is obviously much longer than usual, but everyone is not anxious, and today is good news. The last time Sanduchuan was defeated, the Privy Council pressed for a day or two before daring to report to Zhao Zhen, and in those days, several rulers were under great pressure. As soon as the good news from Qinzhou arrived today, Lu Yijian did not delay in the slightest, so he gathered the slaughter and entered the palace together.

Zhao Zhen entered the Chongzheng Palace, and the whole person was in good spirits.

Li Di and Lu Yijian led everyone to salute like a ceremony, and Zhao Zhen gave them a seat. When everyone sat down, Zhao Zhen couldn't help it anymore and asked Lu Yijian, who was sitting in front: "Xu Guogong, how did Qin Fenglu win there?" ”

Lu Yijian got up and held the wat with his hand: "Your Majesty, just now the ministers and others received the victory from Qinzhou, and broke the party in Zhuoluo and Nanda!" ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned: "Zhuo Luo and Nan? That's - oh, how is it there? Isn't it in Huizhou? ”
