In the autobiography written by Yue Fei many years later, he focused on the various conquests and battles in his life, and among all the wars he experienced, what he remembered the most was this battle to destroy the country.

He felt that whether it was him or someone else, if it was an orthodox war to destroy the country, in the end it must be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, killing people for blood horses, killing all those who dared to resist, and he would also suffer heavy losses, but this battle did not seem to be so orthodox, at the beginning, it was indeed killing people for blood horses, but the more later, the less resistance of Western Xia.

Under the imperial city of Xingqing Mansion, the Han guard Chen Sizhong opened the city gate, led 10,000 militiamen to surrender, handed over enough documents to prove his identity as a spy, the soldiers were bloodless, Xingqing Mansion, the century-old capital of Western Xia, was taken, under the leadership of Chen Sizhong, the Song army quickly packed up all the resistance forces, and then Chen Sizhong pointed out the way for Yue Fei, Yue Fei handed over the task of consolidating the results to Zhang Xian, and led the army to pounce on the Western Xia government group that was on the way to migrate, and at this time they did not know that Xingqing Mansion surrendered without resistance.

The three Han commanders who were in the way, one was a spy, and the two knees were weak and surrendered, and they were very diligent in guiding the way, saying that the high-ranking officials were too deceitful, let us send them to death and flee for their lives, who would like it? As long as we can live, we can do anything! We are also Han people, real Han people, and we also have a fiery heart to serve the country, the problem is just that we have gone astray before, and from now on we will do our best to serve the Great Song Dynasty loyally!

Yue Fei was disgusted by this attitude and wanted to kill, but at this moment, he couldn't do so. After forcing the urge to kill people in his heart, Yue Fei temporarily appointed them to some positions. Let them take the soldiers and horses with them and go straight to the Empress Dowager Cao, so. With the previous scene, the Cao family thought that the four lines of defense could fight for about ten days, but as a result, they couldn't win a single day.

Yue Fei's army descended from the sky like a divine soldier, capturing all the Western Xia government personnel in one fell swoop, leaving no one from top to bottom, and it was bloodless - Zhao Zhong led his spy team to wipe out the high-level officials, and the lower-level guards who had lost their command were leaderless, and laid down their weapons under coercion and temptation. Raised his hand to surrender, he was smoothly disarmed by the Song army, and the next day, Yue Fei escorted this group of people back to the division victoriously.

From then on, the Western Xia ceased to exist in fact, they lost all the foundation of a state, whether it was the government or the royal family or the elite area, the Song army had no intention of retreating this time, although it could not eat all the land of the Western Xia in one bite. But for the Great Song Dynasty, the most useful land in Western Xia was just this piece, although the Great Wall had not yet been fully recovered, but it was only a matter of time.

The Western Xia royal family was wiped out. However, after Zhao Zhong's purge, the elite group in Western Xia was basically wiped out, and there were only a few people who could turn the clouds and rain. It was also killed, whether the large Gobi Desert in the west was included. In fact, it doesn't matter now, the Song army doesn't have more energy to attack the territory west of Western Xia for the time being. But the royal family was destroyed, the government was destroyed, and the Western Xia had fallen.

Since the seventh year of Taizong Taizong Taiping Xingguo Li Jiqian's rebellion against the Song Dynasty, to the fourth year of Jingkang, one hundred and forty-seven years before and after, the story of Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty finally came to an end, and the Western Xia, which was always regarded by the Great Song Dynasty as a local rebel regime, was not recognized as a country by the Great Song Dynasty, and was always considered to be a vassal, as a vassal, repeatedly betrayed the Song Dynasty, and repeatedly attacked and provoked, so the Great Song Dynasty did not think that this was a war to destroy the country, but the largest battle to quell the chaos since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty.

On September 30 of the fourth year of Jingkang, Yue Fei, the envoy of the Northwest Song Dynasty and the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Corps, said that the battle of counterinsurgency in the northwest was a complete victory, and the western thieves were all captured by the puppet "Empress Dowager" Cao, and all the government civil and military generals were captured.

Yue Fei's wording was very smooth, and he couldn't see any excitement in it at all, but everyone knew what the meaning of this war was, the one hundred and forty-seventh year of the Song-Xia War, so far, has drawn a successful end, and ended with the great victory of the Great Song Dynasty, and all the people who have died fighting against the Western Xia in the past one hundred and forty-seven years, their souls can rest in peace.

Zhao Huan Long Yan Dayue, who learned the news, although he did not show it in front of the courtiers, but afterwards Zhao Huan personally went to the ancestral temple to comfort the ancestors of the emperors in the spirit of the sky, which has already told the world how excited and proud he is, the things that seven or eight emperors failed to complete have been finally resolved in his hands, and with this achievement, the last trace of worry in Zhao Huan's heart has finally disappeared.

On October 10 of the fourth year of Jingkang, Zhao Huan's holy decree arrived at Xingqing Mansion, saying that he was very satisfied with the results of the battle, and the commander-in-chief Yue Fei quickly decided that he had captured the government affairs and defense affairs within the territory of the Western Thieves, and could temporarily appoint a temporary military and political leader, leaving soldiers and horses to guard the local area, pacify the surrendered people, and then lead the meritorious soldiers and Western Thief captives back to the court to receive rewards.

On October 16, Yue Fei left Zhang Xian to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to stay in Hexi, and he led more than 20,000 soldiers with great achievements to escort the party and the imperial family and the captured Wenchen military generals to set off for Beijing.

Judging from the official identification, this is not a regular war to destroy the country, because even Li Yuanhao only claimed the emperor internally, and after a few years of external emperorship, he fought with the Great Song Dynasty.

Although it is nominal, and in fact the Li royal family is still called the emperor in the party, everything is the same as the emperor, there is no difference, but all this is enough for the emperor who regards face as more important than anything else, and there are enough reasons to say that the rebellion of the Western Thieves and the suppression of the rebellion of the Great Song Dynasty are by no means a battle to destroy the country.

The official history books still believe that this is the end of the war to quell the rebellion, although it lasted too long, but in the name of orthodoxy, this has always been a war of counterinsurgency, and it is precisely because of this insistence that the Great Song Dynasty has the best reason to send troops, occupy the commanding heights morally, and the division is famous, therefore. This war was not a real war of annihilation.

In early November, Yue Fei led his army to Beijing. Zhao Huan's body had problems again, and he couldn't come out to greet him in person. On behalf of the emperor and the government, Prime Minister Zhao Ding and Vice Prime Minister Yue Chuan went out of the city to greet the warriors who had won a great victory.

The captive sacrifice ceremony was the most important, and Zhao Huan, as the emperor, wanted to participate in it no matter what, because it was not just the result of an ordinary war, but the final victory of a war of one hundred and forty-seven years, and the Great Song Taizong, Zhenzong, Renzong, Yingzong, Zhezong, Huizong plus himself. A total of seven generations of emperors were repeatedly harassed by the Western Xia, especially the Renzong era, which was the most prosperous and free era in ancient China, but it was overshadowed by the defeat in the war with the Western Xia.

Zhao Huan finally ended his long-cherished wish for one hundred and forty-seven years before the end of his life, and he silently came to the Taimiao of the Great Song Dynasty alone, crying bitterly at the tablets of the previous emperors, and now, he has no more worries. When he meets with the emperors after his death, he can also straighten his waist and tell them that he is a qualified emperor. The Dingzong of the Great Song Dynasty......

At the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, Zhao Huan angrily reprimanded the party royal family headed by the Empress Dowager Cao, and angrily accused her of aiding and abetting abuse as a Han Chinese. The act of committing to the thief chief frightened the Cao family. Then Zhao Huan asked why the thief dared to claim the emperor without authorization, and the Cao family knelt on the ground. Miserable and miserable, I don't know what to say, the royal family is mostly women and children, and there is no adult man who can speak, Zhao Huan himself also felt that as the king of the kingdom, this was suspected of bullying weak women, so he brushed his sleeves away.

After that, Zhao Huan issued a holy decree, on the grounds that the party Li royal family was rebellious, gathered people to rebel for more than 100 years, and had no remorse as the reason, abolished Li Renxiao's "Xiping Wang" title, abolished Cao's "Queen Mother" position, abolished all the party Li family as concubines, recaptured the "Li" surname given by the former Tang royal family, changed back to the party surname, and ordered the Xixia hometown, all the old ministers immediately disarmed and surrendered, and attached to the Great Song Dynasty, it will be regarded as surrender and will not be severely punished.

Zhao Huan didn't kill them all, he really didn't have the interest of killing his young son and weak mother, he just put him under house arrest for life, showing the demeanor of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but for a group of Han traitors under him, Zhao Huan showed no mercy, and ordered the eastern and western governments to be tried, kill them fiercely, kill all the people who should be killed, this group of rebels, they are all them, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty will not be blind!

On the tenth day of November in the fourth year of Jingkang, Prime Minister Zhao Ding said that the trial was over, and a list was sorted out, including "thirteen clansmen, sixteen car splits, one hundred and seventy-six beheadings, three hundred and ninety-seven exiles to the border land, and seventy-nine rewards", the punishment of exterminating the three clans has not been used in the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, but for the thirteen rebellions who were high-ranking officials in the border areas and aided in the abuse, Zhao Ding strongly advocated the implementation of the punishment of "Yi Sanzu", which was approved by a high number of votes.

The sixteen people who were torn by Che Split were the sixteen rebels who had been middle-level courtiers of the Song Dynasty and "took the initiative to defect to the enemy or defected", but their families were innocent, and the punishment of being sentenced to Che Split and exiled by their families was regarded as a punishment on the open side of the net, which was approved by Yue Tuo.

The beheading of 176 people is for those who "used to be Song officials, and after being exiled, they defected to the enemy and aided in abuse", the number is relatively large, they often did not surrender to the Western Xia out of their original intentions, but after being captured, they defected to the enemy, served as officials in key positions in the Western Xia government, worked for the Western thieves, and directly helped the attack of the party army.

397 people were exiled to the border areas, these are those who tried to escape after being captured, and after failing to save their families' lives and took up official positions, but they were all civilian officials, with low status, and did not directly participate in the Song and Xia Wars, ordinary petty officials or scholars, capital crimes can be avoided, living crimes cannot be escaped, after all, they are renegades, exiled to the border areas, not allowed to return to Beijing, and are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination within three generations.

Seventy-nine people are rewarded, these seventy-nine people are the seventy-nine surviving spies sent to the Western Xia by the Song officials, border generals and Yue Chuan over the years, the earliest one in the Western Xia for the Great Song Dynasty to listen to intelligence for forty-six years, sixty-two years old this year, that is the super spy sent to the Western Xia before his death, the ancestor-level figure, actually survived to the present, working in the household department of the Xixia government department, and has been providing all kinds of information for the family army for many years, and after the destruction of the family army, he tried every means to provide information for Yue Fei, and it has never been discovered. It can be called the king of the Great Song Dynasty version of espionage.

These spies were inexplicably excited to be alive and recognized by the Great Song Dynasty, feeling that this was a long-cherished wish for many years, and they were often unwilling to accept any high-ranking officials, and had only one wish, that is, to return to their hometown to accompany their families.

The king of espionage under the seed man, the legendary soldier married and had children in Western Xia, his wife was also a captive Han Chinese, several sons and grandsons were taught by him to be excellent spy officers, a family of seven people are loyal to the country, Zhao Huan sighed, gave the earl title, the inscription "loyal and brave heirloom", the reward is not planned, so that this old man specially trained spy personnel for the Great Song Dynasty, the official residence of the three products, directly responsible for the emperor.

The disposition of the Western Xia government and the party and the royal family came to an end here, the Western Xia as a country was also ended from the fact, the remaining two-thirds of the land is basically in the desert area, the population is sparse, the resources are poor, there is no threat at all, Zhao Huan ordered the border officers to walk around with the edict of the "puppet emperor" Li Renxiao, and asked the remnants of the Western thieves to take the initiative to surrender, the results were very good, many places heard the wind and surrendered, a few people were unwilling to surrender, but they could not make waves, since then, "the northwest of the Song Dynasty has been peaceful".
