After paying tribute to the fallen soldiers of the Song army, Zhao Weiji also knew that he could not stay here any longer, so he immediately led the army back south and returned to Yanmen Pass.

After returning to Yanmen Pass, Zhao Weiji saw Yang Yanzhao, who had suffered a huge blow and his whole spirit was decadent. Yang Yanzhao, who saw Zhao Weiji, couldn't bear the sadness anymore, and hugged his friend Zhao Weiji and cried.

There is a way that men don't flick when they have tears, but they don't get to the sad place. The seventh son went to the sixth son, and he was the only one left in the Yang family who returned to the gate safely, how could he not make Yang Yanzhao heartbroken. In addition, he left the team first because he escorted the people back to the customs, which made Yang Yanzhao fall into endless self-blame.

Seeing that Yang Yanzhao was already broken, Zhao Weiji didn't know how to comfort his friend, and in the end he could only explain his ambition to his friend: "I will change all this, I want to stand on the top of this country, change all this to avoid such a tragedy from happening again, I will definitely do it." Yan Zhao, would you like to help me? ”

After hearing Zhao Weiji's ambition, Yang Yanzhao was stunned, he knew that the defeat of this war was actually caused by many factors, but he didn't expect that someone would actually want to fundamentally change the country to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy. So he couldn't help but ask, "Why?" Why change all this from the roots. ”

"Although the defeat of the Western Route Army seems to be a tactical defeat, it is fundamentally the result of the military system. Our Great Song Dynasty army has not been taken seriously since Taizu, resulting in all the officers only thinking about victory and military exploits in their minds once the war starts, and they don't think about the entire battle situation at all, and our three fronts are all out of touch.

On the other hand, the Liao army has careful design and cooperation in all links, and all the Liao troops in the entire battlefield are basically linked, and they have planned all this at the beginning of the war.

Moreover, although our soldiers are now professional military positions, the source of soldiers is all-encompassing, and many people come to the army just to beg for food, and protecting the family and defending the country is not in their consideration at all. As a result, once the situation of the war is unfavorable, it is easy to collapse and cause a rout.

All of this is caused by the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, and I must stand at the apex of this country to change all this. ”

After hearing Zhao Weiji's exuberant speech, Yang Yanzhao also recovered some of his spirits, and he was born in a family of military generals, of course he knew what the results would be if the status of a soldier was restored to the Han and Tang Dynasties. As for the apex of the country that Zhao Weiji said, Yang Yanzhao didn't expect that he was ready to be the emperor, but he could only think that he would finally climb to the position of Zaifu, so as to suggest that the emperor carry out reforms.

"Okay brother, since you have this ambition, my brother will definitely support you to the end, and when you can use your brother in the future, you will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire."

Zhao Weiji was also very happy after seeing Yang Yanzhao's recovered spirit, of course, his words were not finished, the idea of restricting imperial power was too advanced in this era, and Zhao Weiji didn't expect anyone to accept it now.

At the same time that Zhao Weiji retreated to Yanmen Pass, Zhao Guangyi also knew that the war on the West Road was over. With the crushing defeat of the Eastern and Western Route Army, the crushing victory of the Middle Route Army, the Yongxi Northern Expedition could only be declared over.

Although the Song Dynasty took away Flying Fox, Lingqiu, Ulzhou, and Xincheng, the losses of the other two roads were really heavy, and the actual fruits of victory were basically negligible.

And because only the cities captured by the Middle Route Army have been preserved, which has made these cities extremely difficult to defend, on the map, the fruits of the victory of the Middle Route Army are inserted into the territory of Yanyun of the Liao Army like a dagger.

It seems to be lonely, and on three sides is the territory of the Liao State, and how to defend these cities has already given Zhao Guangyi a headache.

Coupled with the attack of 300,000 troops, less than 80,000 people actually returned, and the loss of soldiers was close to 75 percent, and the pension would be a large expenditure.

Although it was better than the total defeat of the three armies in history, in general, the Song Dynasty still lost the ability to attack Liao again.

After that, what Zhao Guangyi needs to do is reward and punishment.

On the seventh day after Zhao Weiji retreated to Yanmen Pass, he received a holy decree from the imperial court to summon him back to Beijing. After this battle, the only general who survived and still had merit was him.

After Zhao Weiji returned to Beijing, all of Zhao Guangyi's rewards and punishments came down.

Although Tian Chongjin died on the battlefield, the army was basically still in victory before he died in battle, and the first-class title was posthumously inherited by his eldest son.

Pan Mei and Yang Ye's Western Route Army was completely defeated, but in view of the fact that the two had sacrificed their lives for the country, they were not rewarded or punished.

Cao Bin was greedy for merit and recklessly promoted his official ranks.

Mi Xin had merit in capturing the new city, but he did not do anything greater, so he only received some material rewards.

Finally, Zhao Weiji, it can be said that the Middle Route Army was able to keep the captured city and avoid further defeat of the Eastern Route Army, he was a great contributor, not to mention that he finally defeated Yelu Huge, and it was the biggest victory in the entire Northern Expedition. If it weren't for the fact that he defeated Yelu Huge, then the Liao State might have already begun a counterattack at this time.

Therefore, after the whole war was fought, the biggest winner among the generals was Zhao Weiji. Zhao Weiji was crowned as the envoy of the German Army, the king of Nanyang County, his subordinate Li Jiguang was crowned as the captain of the flying cavalry, and Hu Yanzan was named the deputy head of the Mabu Army.

Yang Yanzhao was meritorious in protecting the people of Sanzhou and withdrawing from the Guannei, and he also crowned the deputy envoy of Chongyi.

In this way, under the condition that the veteran is dying and depreciating, Zhao Weiji, a rookie who has been in the army for less than three years, is faintly about to become the first military general of the Great Song Dynasty.

……

The Liao side also began to summarize after the war.

Due to the defeat of Yelu Hugo, and the fact that Yelu Xiu's side also suffered a lot of losses, the Liao State also did not have any intention of fighting again for the time being.

The biggest winner on the Liao side is Yelu Mo, the whole war is basically staged according to the script he draws, although in the end Zhao Weiji inserted a pole to defeat Yelu Hugo, resulting in Ulzhou and other places are still in the hands of the Song Dynasty, but from the perspective of destroying the living force of the Song Dynasty, in the end the Liao still won the war.

As for Ulzhou and other places, they were surrounded by the territory of the Liao State on three sides, and it was much less difficult for the Liao army to recapture it than it was for the Song army to defend it.

In the end, Yelu Mo was named Lin Ya, although the official position is not too high, but he has actually become the sixth person in the Liao State.

Because of the first victory and then the defeat, the merits and demerits offset each other, and he did not rise or fall.

Yelu was made by the Northern Privy Council because of his outstanding performance on the Western Road, and became the fifth person in the Liao Dynasty.

Yelu Mo, who was born under Han Derang's account, became the sixth person in the Liao State, which made Han Derang's position more stable, and the Liao State began to enter a period of long-term prosperity and stability.

……

In the morning, Chai Yu was sitting in front of the dresser and freshening up, while Zhao Weiji was still asleep in bed.

Thinking of Zhao Weiji's performance the night before, Chai Yu couldn't help but feel a little red on his face, and his lower body was still a little painful. Last night's Zhao Weiji was like a beast.

This can't be blamed on him, Zhao Weiji, who has been away from home for a year, has been staying in the barracks where even flies are male, and his eyes are green when he returns home and sees his wife.

This time Zhao Weiji came back, Chai Yu really hoped that he could stay in the capital for a while longer, and it was almost a year since he got married. She also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed, not to mention that Zhao Weiji had been by his side for very little time.

Just when she was still thinking about this, Zhao Weiji quietly got up from the bed, went around to Chai Yu's back, protected Chai Yu from the back of her neck, and then put her face against Chai Yu's hair and sniffed greedily.

"You scared me to death, when did you get up." Chai Yu, who was suddenly hugged by Zhao Weiji, was indeed jumped at first, but after feeling the familiar body temperature, she quickly relaxed.

"What were you thinking, so focused?"

"I'm wondering, when will we have a baby?" Chai Yu, who was talking, stretched out his right hand and stroked Zhao Weiji's face backwards.

Hearing Chai Yu say that he wanted a child, Zhao Weiji's face showed a slight strange smile, and then he got up and picked Chai Yu up directly and walked to the bed.

"Ah, what are you going to do, it's still daytime." Chai Yu, who was picked up by Zhao Weiji, naturally reacted to what he was going to do, but she was still a little embarrassed about Bai Xuanyin.

But at this time, she couldn't think much about it, because Zhao Weiji had already pounced.

Soon there was a voice in the room that was not ashamed.

After nearly half an hour, there was finally no sound inside.

On the bed, Zhao Weiji hugged Chai Yu in his arms, and then said, "I want to be the emperor." ”

Chai Yu, who had not yet recovered from the afterglow just now, was shocked by Zhao Weiji's sudden words, and it didn't take her long before she reacted: "Why did you suddenly have such an idea." ”

In Chai Yu's impression, although her husband is talented, he has never had such ambitions, even if he enters the army, he is passively accumulating military merits in order to ensure the safety of the family in order to seek a certain status.

Unexpectedly, after such a big battle, Zhao Weiji actually had such an ambition to defy the sky.

"I want to change that. You know I've been in a coma for a while, right? ”

Chai Yu nodded.

"During my coma, I met a fairy in a dream who showed me the future, and all my novel ideas were taught to me by the gods. In the dream, the Great Song Dynasty finally died at the hands of foreigners, and the Han people in the Central Plains were finally oppressed by foreigners. People were divided into four classes, with the Han people having the lowest status. I want to change that. ”

Zhao Weiji naturally can't tell his wife directly the secret he crossed over from the afterlife, and it's hard to say whether his wife can accept it or not. So he made up a story that could be accepted by the people of this era. As for the oppression of the Han people, it is natural to summarize the situation of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhao Weiji's words made Chai Yu a little difficult to digest for a while, although she could accept that Zhao Weiji's whimsical ideas might indeed come from the immortals, but who would dare to assert that he knew about this kind of thing in the future.

"I know you didn't believe it for a while, but I knew it was going to lose at the beginning of this war, and the results of this war verified that the gods told me that the future exists."

Seeing Zhao Weiji's affirmative expression, Chai Yu chose to believe her husband's words: "Then how do you need me to support you." ”

"Of course, there are many places that need the support of Madame, so I will prepare ...... first"
