Zhang Yuanhui's death was a great blow to the Han army, first some of them began to be chaotic, and finally most of them began to flee.

Zhang Yuanhui is a rare fierce general in the Northern Han Dynasty, and he didn't expect to be worn by others, and many soldiers have already had the idea of retreating.

Coupled with the huge shouting and surrender of the Zhou army, some of the Northern Han soldiers who were not mentally strong began to lay down their weapons, one, two, three......

Slowly, like a plague, it began to spread outward, and many soldiers laid down their weapons one after another, and of course many soldiers escaped.

Yang Gon of the Khitan saw that the Zhou army was so brave, and he was extremely timid in his heart, and he did not dare to contact the Zhou army, let alone rescue the Han army.

At the same time, the unkindness of the Northern Han monarchs and ministers to him made him remember the word of hatred in his heart. More in order to preserve the strength of the Khitan, he led the Khitan cavalry to retreat first.

The Han troops on both wings will also flee one after another when they see the Khitan retreat, and Zhang Yongde, the general of the forbidden army, seized the opportunity to chase after them, constantly reaping the lives of the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty.

The emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty saw that the soldiers were constantly fleeing, and in order to boost morale, he personally supervised the battle, but it had no effect.

So he personally waved the flag to urge the soldiers to advance, but he couldn't stop the rout and retreat of the Northern Han army.

It doesn't matter if he wakes the flag, many generals of the Zhou army have seen him, so everyone is running in his direction, if Liu Chong can be captured alive, it will be really indispensable.

At this time, the south wind in the sky was blowing more and more fiercely, and the Zhou army rushed to kill with the wind, and the momentum was overwhelming.

Liu Chong hurriedly dispatched his elite officers to the direction of the Left Wing Army

When he made arrangements, he found that Chai Rong's assault force had rushed to within fifty paces. looked at Zhao Xu, who was murderous and covered in blood.

Liu Chong suddenly felt a sense of weakness, and he shouted loudly without thinking: "Retreat, retreat!" ”

At this time, Liu Chongke was in a cold sweat, and immediately handed over the military flag to the junior colonel beside him, and began to flee by himself.

He is a big fat man, and he will be seen at a glance, Zhao Xu immediately shouted when he saw it:

"That fat man in a dragon robe is Liu Chong, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, everyone hurry up." A pair of soldiers began to chase after Liu Chong.

Liu Chong thought of Cao Cao's move to escape for his life back then, and immediately took off his yellow robe and ran away with his head in his arms. Who knew that Zhao Xu shouted again:

"Everyone, pay attention, the fat man in the white power suit is the Han lord Liu Chong, everyone captures Liu Chong alive."

The soldiers quickened the pace of pursuit.

Frightened, Liu Chong immediately asked his own guards to block him, hurriedly changed into a soldier's clothes, and disappeared into the chaos.

Seeing that he didn't recognize him later, he fled more quickly into the distance. On the battlefield, a group of chaotic Han troops were still struggling to support.

At this time, there were bursts of horses' hooves and the sound of soldiers shouting in the direction of Da Zhou, and the follow-up troops of Da Zhou arrived.

Jiedu made Liu Ci lead the army to arrive, and for a while, the advantages of the Great Zhou were more obvious, and the morale of the soldiers was even higher.

As Liu Ci's troops arrived and launched another onslaught on the Han army, the Northern Han army collapsed in an instant, and Zhao Kuangyin led a team of men and horses to chase and kill the fleeing soldiers.

Liu Ci met Fan Aineng and He Hui who fled on the way, where were the two children still intimidating Liu Ci, and they were reprimanded by Liu Ci.

"The husband is serving the country, why do you regret this name? I'm not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so don't say it anymore. ”

After Liu Ci finished speaking, he ordered the troops to speed up and rush to Gaoping quickly, and he finally arrived at the critical moment

The corpses of the Northern Han soldiers were all over the battlefield, discarded military equipment was everywhere, and thousands of Northern Han soldiers surrendered.

Liu Chong, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, only led more than 100 cavalry to escape in disarray.

Zhao Xu was no longer in the middle of the battlefield at this time, he was now firmly guarding Chai Rong's surroundings with a red tassel gun, looking at the battlefield coldly.

It stands to reason that he is a man of the future, and the Northern Han Dynasty is also a part of the Chinese nation, and what he is not used to seeing is that the Northern Han grovels and colludes with the Khitan.

Looking at the slain soldiers, he did not have the slightest pity, Your Majesty's battle has been decided, our army has won, Your Majesty should take advantage of the victory to pursue.

When Zhao Xu was talking, except for the Zhou army and some Han troops who surrendered, the rest were dead corpses.

Chai Rong's face was also full of joy: "Order Li Chongjin, Li Yun, and Liu Cisuo to continue to pursue the remnants of the Northern Han Dynasty and go straight to Jinyang, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty." ”

Everyone led the order to chase in the direction of the retreat of the Northern Han army, and the Northern Han army really collapsed at one touch, which is not to say that they do not have the slightest combat effectiveness, but they have no fighting spirit.

By the evening, most of the troops had returned to Luzhou and returned to the Zhaoyi army's office, and the army took advantage of the situation to recover Jinzhou, and Chai Rong was already in Luzhou City at this time.

The Northern Han army had been defeated and retreated to the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty, and a large army came to respond, Chai Rong ordered the army to be stationed in place to defend against the sneak attack of the Northern Han.

The Northern Han Dynasty also honestly retreated in its own territory, not daring to take a step beyond the Lei Chi, and did not dare to go south for many years after that.

During this period, Zhao Kuangyin grabbed Wang Yanhe, the deputy privy envoy of the Northern Han Dynasty, and immediately Chai Rong pushed him out and beheaded him, and his head was hung outside the gate.

In the past few days, the Zhou army has besieged Jinyang City several times, but each time the two sides have suffered casualties, Chai Rong in order to avoid casualties among the soldiers, ordered to withdraw from the Northern Han Dynasty and return to the territory of the Zhou army.

At this time, the Great Zhou annihilated a total of more than 40,000 Northern Han troops, and the surrendered soldiers were not counted, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a big victory.

Luzhou City is celebrating everywhere, the Great Zhou has won a big victory, singing and dancing everywhere, and the people spontaneously celebrate.

Chai Rong was also so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, only he knew it in his heart.

The battle of Gaoping, in fact, is directly related to the life and death of the Great Zhou, if this battle cannot be won, then his Chai Rong's throne will be in jeopardy.

Chai Rong's personal campaign greatly boosted the morale of the Zhou army, thus saving the precarious situation of the war, and also turning the tide of the war, while also increasing his prestige.

Chai Rong's courage and courage are no less than Tang Taizong's, and Tang Taizong is also Chai Rong's role model, and Chai Rong's heart has already blossomed at this moment. Because some people praised him for being like Taizong.

Now many soldiers in the army are spreading, Your Majesty braved the rain of bullets in the green forest, braved the rain of bullets, and braved the flying arrows to come to the battlefield in person, and live and die with us, which is our honor.

We are honored to have such an emperor, long live Your Majesty.

Whenever Chai Rong hears this, his heart is happy, this is the will of the people, and getting the hearts of the people means that his throne can last longer.

If he had been replaced by another monarch, or if he had not been able to decisively conquer himself, or had fled in a critical moment, the whole history would have been rewritten in the eyes of the future.

Chai Rong is Chai Rong, if he was in a dangerous place like Liu Chong, I believe he would not run away and abandon his soldiers on the battlefield.

This is the difference between a wise monarch and a mediocre monarch.

Chai Rong, who was at the celebration banquet, was full of red light at the moment:

"Come to Aiqing, toast to our Gaoping victory." He was the first to drink the wine from his glass.

The generals shouted long live together, and drank the wine in their hands.

Chai Rong looked at the generals under him, and once again felt the benefits of being an emperor, and the feeling of holding the Qiankun in his hands was four forks in big characters, which was cool.

"This expedition, the generals have made great contributions, I am very relieved, and after returning to Beijing, all the generals will be rewarded, especially Zhao Kuangyin and his son, who have made great contributions, and I will salute you for a cup." As he spoke, Chai Rong raised his glass again.

All the generals looked at the Zhao father and son with envy.

Zhao Kuangyin father and son got up and knelt on the ground;

"Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the soldiers use their lives, God bless me Da Zhou, and Weichen does not dare to be greedy for merit;."

"Flat body, there is no vulgar etiquette today, today is an ordinary wine banquet, whoever is more polite, will punish himself with three glasses, everyone is happy."

The most annoying thing in the army is cumbersome etiquette, and when the emperor said this, everyone opened their throats to get up, and they were staggered for a while.

During the banquet, Zhang Yongde came over to toast Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin didn't even dare to say it, but he still drank the wine in the cup. The emperor praised Zhao Kuangyin and his son, and his face also had light, after all, Zhao Kuangyin's father and son were both subordinate to the forbidden army.

As the chief inspector of the capital, Zhang Yongde's old face is also extremely bright, and other generals have also come to toast, everyone knows that this time the Zhao father and son will definitely be promoted when they return to Beijing.

Zhao Xu noticed that when Li Chongjin looked at him, his eyes were full of hatred, and Zhao Xu also wondered, I don't know him, why am I full of hostility towards me?

Li Chongjin secretly hated in his heart at this time: "If it weren't for you two bastards, Chai Rong would probably be surrounded here, and if it wasn't good, he would have fallen here, my chance would have come, I didn't expect ......"

Perhaps it was at this time that Li Chongjin held a grudge against the Zhao family father and son, so that many things happened against the Zhao family father and son later, which Zhao Xu did not expect.

Without paying attention to these, everyone was feasting and drinking to their heart's content, and the soldiers didn't know when they would be shrouded in horse leather, and entertainment after the victory was a way for them to vent.

In the whole banquet, there was a staggered mix of money, drinking and punching sounds everywhere, which was also in line with the rough character of the people in the army, but Zhao Xu was gone.

At this time, he was outside drinking a little wine with a few brothers who were keeping vigil, and the people on duty at night were not allowed to drink, but in such a cold weather, it was still okay to drink a little wine.

Zhao Xu's thoughtfulness and understanding made everyone very grateful.

Fortunately, the whole celebration banquet went relatively smoothly, and everyone returned happily. All the generals drank crookedly, and even Chai Rong would be drunk.

The chamberlain Zhang Dejun hurriedly ordered the little eunuch Chai Rong to send him back to the imperial tent, and the rest of the generals were also helped back by their own soldiers one by one, and the short celebration after the victory ended like this.

The next day, Chai Rong announced that the army would be stationed in Gaoping for a day, reorganize and rest, and then return to the court.
