"Zhuozhou is recovered!"

This sentence contains endless joy, and at the same time contains infinite bitterness!

The joy is that this important city in the land of Yanyun has finally returned to the embrace of China, which is the first recovered city since Zhou Shizong Chai Rong recovered the three passes, which is gratifying!

Moreover, the time to recover this city happened to be the first day of the new year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe new year, just coming, has such joyful things, who can not rejoice?

The recovery of Zhuozhou is an exciting and extraordinary joy, and then in this special day, one joy will turn into ten joys! The joy of the people of Yanyun is far from being described by pen and ink, they express it in all the ways they can express!

Not only the people of Yanyun were infinitely happy, but even the soldiers of the Song army were also crying with joy, and they were almost crazy with joy. In the hundreds of years of Song-Liao wars, the Song Dynasty has been pressing and fighting the Liao State, and the Song Dynasty has lost many victories and won few battles. Now, the Song army not only defeated the Liao army, but also recovered Zhuozhou, which is of great significance.

This is the first Yanyun city recovered by the Song Dynasty since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and it cannot be overpraised no matter how much it is praised.

"Long live the Great Song!"

The earth-shattering screams resounded in the sky, shaking the ground and shaking the ground, the people and soldiers rejoiced, wept with joy, and boundless joy overflowed in the sky above Zhuozhou.

Since Emperor Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Liao State, countless people with lofty ideals threw their heads and spilled their blood in order to recover the land of Yanyun.

In the past hundred years, the people of Yanyun have paid a huge price, I don't know how many Yanyun people died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Khitans, and I don't know how many people were ravaged? For more than a hundred years, they have accumulated too much bitterness and too much humiliation, and finally at this moment, at the moment of Zhuozhou's recovery, they broke out in full force, like a flood bursting the embankment, unstoppable, and the cry resounded in one piece, which was touching.

"Zhuozhou is recovered!"

"Long live the Great Song!"

The endless shouting continued until dawn, and the shouting gradually stopped. It's not that the people are tired of shouting, but they are attracted by the spectacle in front of them and can't help but stop.

Wu Ji stood at the head of the city, looking at it in the morning light, and couldn't help but be surprised. Everywhere you look, inside and outside the city, there is red everywhere, a sea of red, boundless. The morning breeze blows, setting off waves, rolling up red waves, the waves are turbulent, indescribably weird.

This red, of course, is the blood of the Liao army. After a night of fighting, tens of thousands of Liao soldiers died under the sword of the Song army, and the blood that flowed out stained the ice and snow. The fighting in the camp overturned many tents, and after the fire, it burned fiercely, and it has not been extinguished until now, and a lot of ice and snow have melted and merged into a lake of blood. The morning breeze blows, the blood lake surges, and there is a strange scene in front of you.

This scene is indescribably weird, indescribably enchanting, but it has exciting power, and the people of Yanyun burst into earth-shattering cheers: "Long live the king!" ”

It is common for the Liao army to oppress the people, the Liao army is full of crimes, and the more the Liao army dies, the better, and the more the people are happy. Seeing the vision, it is impossible for the people not to be overjoyed. In the eyes of the people, Song Jun is a relative and a benefactor, hugging the soldiers and cheering!

"Oh my God!" Wu Ji has been on the battlefield many times, and he has long been familiar with the tragedy of the battlefield, and when he saw the vision, he was still frightened, and his eyes were round.

"Oh my God!" Zhou Wei's generals looked at the scene inside and outside the city and were shocked.

"The battle of Xiongzhou is very tragic, but compared to the current situation, it is nothing." Zhou Wei stroked his forehead and groaned.

The battle of Xiongzhou was very tragic, and 50,000 Liao troops were annihilated, but it was still inferior to the current situation.

"The more Liao dogs die, the better!" Han Fang said with a smile: "Liao Dog is too hateful, it's best to die!" ”

"That's right! Liao dog is the best to die! The generals echoed in unison.

Wu Ji turned his head, looked at the people who were cheering, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Today is the first day of the new year, a son who should be happy, we have sent a good congratulatory gift to the old folks!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Wei nodded fiercely and echoed: "On the first day of the new year, we annihilated tens of thousands of Liao dogs and recovered Zhuozhou, which is the best gift for the people of Yanyun!" Since Shi Jingjiao betrayed the country, the people of Yanyun have been living in dire straits, and they have never raised their eyebrows, and our congratulatory gift is too timely, and they are very happy! ”

"Wu Du commands, even so, it is not enough." Huangfu Song hurriedly reminded Wu Ji: "Liaogou has searched hard enough for the southern expedition, and the surplus food in the people's homes is almost gone, and many people can't even spend the Chinese New Year's Eve. Now, it happens to be the New Year's Day, a festive day, we can't let them starve, we should let them live a happy New Year's Day, this is the new year's new atmosphere! ”

"That's right! Right! Right! Zhou Wei slapped his forehead, echoed loudly, a little embarrassed, and said: "In this matter, I promised my fathers and elders that I would let them have a happy year, and not starve to death!" For this Chinese New Year's Eve, I deducted some wine and meat from between Li Mingchu's teeth and distributed it to the fathers and elders, and they had a decent Chinese New Year's Eve. Now that Chinese New Year's Eve has passed, and the New Year's Day has arrived, this celebration must continue. ”

Li Mingchu led the Guixin army to almost annihilate tens of thousands of Liao troops, tired enough, hungry, when Zhou Wei proposed to share the wine and meat to the people, he didn't say a word, and gave all the wine and meat that he didn't eat to the people.

"Open the warehouse and release the grain!" Wu Ji couldn't help nodding, he knew the difficulties of the people and said: "Send less first, and then send more when it returns to normal in a few days." At the moment, we have a lot to do, and we can't afford to put it off too much. ”

After a big battle, there is a lot to do. Not to mention, this attack on Zhuozhou is just the beginning of a big war, and a more fierce war is coming, Wu Ji and they have too many things to do, and it is impossible to put it off for too long on the matter of distributing food to the people. Send some food to the people for emergency first, and when Wu Ji and them have their hands freed, it is not too late to send food again.

The generals will not have any objection to this statement, and they will be commanded with a bang.

"Have the casualties been cleared?" Wu Ji asked.

"Commander Wu Du, we haven't cleared up the casualties of Liaogou yet, and it will take some time." Zhou Wei hurriedly replied and said, "Our casualties have been cleared out. We lost more than 2,400 casualties, more than 1,700 seriously wounded, and more than 4,000 lightly wounded. ”

More than 2,400 were killed in battle, more than 1,700 were wounded, and more than 4,100 people lost their combat strength, accounting for one-twelfth of the 50,000-strong army, which is not a large proportion.

The results they achieved were brilliant, although they have not yet been counted, and at least they annihilated more than 50,000 Liao troops, which is a remarkable victory.

It will take a long time to clean up the city and outside the city, Wu Ji nodded and said, "First restore order and distribute food to the people, we should prepare as soon as possible to meet the upcoming big war!" ”

Under Wu Ji's dispatch, the generals went to work on their own. Wu Ji took Wu Jian and Wu Xing to inspect the city of Zhuozhou, and everywhere he went, there were dead bodies. These corpses are not only those of the Liao army, but also the families of the Khitans, the corpses of the Han people who are willing to be alien eagle dogs.

It is not only the Liao army that bullies the people, but also their families, as well as the Han Annihilation who is willing to be an alien eagle dog, they do no less bad things than the Liao army, and they all deserve to die. As soon as the Song army arrived, the people asked the Song army to severely punish these people.

"Brother Ji, will you kill the wrong one?" Wu Jian looked at the corpse on the ground, a little uncertain.

"Don't worry, it won't!" Wu Ji said with a smile: "In order to prevent mistakes, I specially ordered that if these people are punished, they must be identified by more than three households." Otherwise, it cannot be punished. ”

In the absence of this provision, it is likely that someone will retaliate for personal gain, or the judgment will not be clear. With this provision, it is not possible to say that there are no mistakes, but at least to minimize them.

"Brother Ji is still thoughtful!" Wu Jian admired Wu Ji more and more, praised him, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Brother Ji, we captured Yeluzhao alive, what are you going to do?" The Great Song Dynasty has not yet captured such a general, so it is better to be escorted to Bianjing and handed over to the official family. ”

"I've thought about it, it's better not to go to Bianjing." Wu Ji frowned and said, "Although Yeluzhao is a prisoner, his head is still useful, and I plan to borrow it for use." Well, Wu Jian, you take someone to cut off the heads of a thousand Liao dogs. ”

"Brother Ji, what's the use of this?" Although Wu Jian was curious, he didn't say anything, and took people to work.

Wu Ji inspected for a while, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he returned to his handsome mansion. Zhou Wei and the others arrived one after another, the statistics had already come out, and Zhou Wei was busy reporting: "Under the command of Wu Du, we annihilated more than 56,900 Liaogous. More than 91,000 war horses were captured, and more than 91,000 war horses were captured! ”

"So much?" Wu Ji was a little surprised.

"Not much, not more!" Zhou Wei couldn't help shaking his head, looking too little: "Liaogou has raised more than 50,000 war horses near Zhuozhou, which is a spare. Once the war horse in front was killed or wounded, it was used to replenish it, and it didn't work out, it became ours. Ha ha! ”

More than 50,000 Liao troops were stationed in Zhuozhou, and there were more than 30,000 war horses. Of course, there can be only such a point of war horses in Zhuozhou, a big war needs a lot of war horses, and it is inevitable to raise a group of war horses in Zhuozhou as a supplement.

"Great!" The first time so many war horses were captured, the generals were overjoyed.

"As for the grain and grass, we don't know how much, only a lot. We've sent a lot to the people, and we can't count them. Zhou Wei touched his forehead, a little embarrassed, he did too hasty in this statistics. However, there is no need to count them.

"Hmm!" Wu Ji knew that it would be enough for them to use it for a long time, and it was enough to have an approximate number, and there was no need for a specific number.

"Commander Wu Du, how should Yeluzhao deal with it?" Zhou Wei suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly.

"When the New Year comes, even neighbors will greet each other and send some congratulatory gifts." Wu Ji replied to the question, and the words he said were a little twisted, which made people unclear: "I plan to give Yelu Hongji a generous gift!" ”

"A congratulatory gift for Yeluhongji?" The generals' eyes widened, thinking that something was wrong with their ears and that they had misheard.

"There's something special about my gift, you do it." Wu Ji said his thoughts.

"......" The generals all widened their eyes and stared at Wu Ji, and they didn't say anything for a long time.

"Haha!" Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of hearty laughter, and the generals were very happy: "Will Yelu Hongji be angry to death?" ”
