Chapter 140: Triumph

"Five, six, seven, eight..."Lu Xiaoyao counted and counted, what is the prince playing? He knew that the prince of Lu Dao had at least a dozen ways to kill this big man, but now he was using him as a human sandbag and threw him around, I don't know what Lu Dao was rubbing!

Wu Song frowned, he felt that the prince was not kind enough, you at least let the family stand firm, this is still dangling, he stepped forward and put people down, this is not a hero's doing. And the Xixia people feel very enjoyable, can't stop applauding, their thinking of the strong is respected, as long as you have a big fist, it is easy to speak, and now the prince of the Song Dynasty who wants to belong to him not only accepted the challenge of the first warrior in the clan, but also defeated him, but did not take his life, it is already compassionate.

"Also... Still falling? Zhao Ta's heart rate was too fast at this time, and he was about to jump out of his mouth, he felt a lack of oxygen in his brain, a little confused, panting like pulling bellows, thinking about picking up a big man of two or three hundred pounds and putting it down countless times, this is also a strong physical work.

"Don't fall, don't fall, I'm convinced!" Qu Ru held up twice, his hair was dizzy, his eyes were dizzy, he couldn't stand up, he waved his hand, he has no temper now!

"Wang Ye wins!" When Yeli heard Qu Ru admit defeat, he immediately jumped up and shouted, saying in his heart that this little prince is really fierce enough, no wonder he was able to kill himself three times and twice, and fortunately he didn't insist on fighting.

"Alright, it's finally over!" Zhao Ta was also a little tired and collapsed, and just wanted to sit down and rest, but was lifted up by the leaders of the various clans who rushed into the field and thrown into the air, "Warriors, warriors..."

．．．．．．

The big event has been decided, the day of the ceremony to worship the gods, Zhao Ta and Yeli and the leaders of the tribes to resolve the past feud, the two sides with chicken, pig, dog blood, and each stabbing arm blood and wine, with the skull wine to drink the oath: "If revenge, the grain and wheat will not be harvested, the men and women will be bald, the six animals will die, and the snake will enter the account." "Then Qu Ru led the whole clan to attach thousands of tents to Zhao Ta, wishing the world to be a slave. Yeli is not stupid, he saw the doorway, this Qu Ru became a close confidant of the prince, his status was immediately threatened, and he was willing to become a brother with the prince, Zhao Ta Xu Zhi, Yeli was the elder brother, he was the younger brother, and the two worshipped heaven and earth and formed an alliance with the gods as brothers.

That night, Zhao Ta rewarded the leaders of all clans, drank the whole clan, and made an appointment to send troops to Qu Yechuan to attack Weng Li. The Western Xia took a single day to send troops as auspicious, double day as a murderer, and the second day was just a single day, so please sacrifice that night to burn incense with sheep to congratulate, and burn a grain fire in the field, and wait for tomorrow to kill sheep to test the good luck. That night, the whole clan mobilized to prepare horses and soldiers, and all those who could fight were requisitioned. Zhao Ta was relieved at this time, and under this toss, whether he was willing to surrender, or half-pushed, he was pulled into his chariot.

The next morning slaughtered sheep, depending on its stomach and intestines, the heart is bloodless, the main army is unhindered, kill the white horse and black bull sacrifice flag, Zhao Ta and Yeli led 15,000 troops to the expedition, known as 50,000, in the evening to defeat the defenders defending Qu Yechuan, forcibly cross the Quye River and meet with the Xiangyi army and the Linzhou army, seize the pasture of the herd division, seize horses, cattle, sheep and camels, loot more than 3,000 of its accounts, collect more than 10,000 people, 60,000 stone of grain. The Privy Council of the Western Xia sent an envoy to Yemachuan, and was ordered by Yeli to expel him from his boundary.

On the third day, the two armies and Weng Li's main force will fight in the west of the turbidity wheel river, the third general of Hedong is the third general Zhe Kecun suddenly out of the valley to occupy the turbidity wheel river, the defeat of Weng Li's rear army, the two armies are flanked before and after, Weng Li is not an army, Zhao Ta led the troops to cover and kill, chased to the border of Fengzhou, Weng Li retreated into the territory with more than 200 cavalry under the response of the Fengzhou defenders, the banner and seal were captured, more than 10,000 people of the whole army were destroyed, and the tribe belonged to the Yeli Department annexed.

After a three-day break, Zhao Ta led the Xiangyi army, the Linzhou army and the third general of Hedong to withdraw from Liancheng to the territory of Linzhou, and Yeli also withdrew along the passes of the Great Wall to give up the border of Hengshan. Zhao Ta ordered the prefect of Linzhou to send the state army to take over the passes, and at the same time ordered the third general of Hedong to temporarily replace the soldiers and horses of Linfu Road in Hedong, and garrison Yincheng to prevent Western Xia from invading the border. …,

Zhao Ta led the army to Linzhou Mansion to rule Xinqin to rest, at this time he was left with a lot of things to deal with, such as the placement of troops, the distribution of land, the compensation of casualties, the reward of meritorious service, the allocation of grain and grass, etc., fortunately, a group of staff of the Department of Economic Strategy and the Yamen of each department have sent people to arrive, and it is much easier to have them. A few days later, all kinds of statistics came out, this prisoner of war in the left wing of the Western Xia Dynasty Shen Yong supervised the army commander Li Jifeng, captured his military flag seal, beheaded 17,000 people, captured 5,000 enemies, and appeased more than 200 Western Xia households, more than 20,000 accounts, 400,000 head of livestock, and countless weapons and armor and grain and grass.

Zhao Ta immediately went to the emperor to report the victory, told the story of the battle, and asked the official to award a reward, arrange for the shepherd to guard the generals, and explain in detail the matter of the loss and recovery of Yulin County due to the disobedience of the guards, and sued them fiercely, and the matter came to an end.

Under the holy decree of July 16, the newly acquired land north of the Great Wall was given the name Hezhou, and the meaning of harmony was agreed, and Zhao Ta was invited to appoint Yeli as the governor of Hezhou, and Qu Ru as the commander of the soldiers and horses. The heads of the divisions on Hedong Road were transferred to the first level, and the armies participating in the war were rewarded according to the law.

In this battle, the Xiangyi army contributed the most and made the greatest achievements, and they all commanded Zhao Renguan to be transferred to the third level to be awarded the observation envoy and knight; The commanders and envoys of the following battalions were all transferred to two ranks, and they were given brocade robes and a reward of 100 yuan, and more than 500 meritorious non-commissioned officers were awarded officers, and 1,000 people were rewarded, among which all the prince's guards were awarded officers, known as the 'envoy team'; and hundreds of the various Tibetan troops who fought with the army were also rewarded!

At the same time, the commendation also held accountable the generals and state officials who did not comply with the deployment, and all the civil and military officials involved in Zhao Ta's above table were demoted, fined, and even transferred to Beijing for questioning. Zhao Ta was granted the command of the government army and the Fan army along the border of the Hedong Road, and in case of emergency, he could mobilize the power of the forbidden army stationed in Hedong, and did not have to wait for the order of the Holy Decree and the Six-Way Control Division.

The Holy Decree not only shook the entire Hedong officialdom, but even the Northwest Sixth Road System Division was also an earthquake, and the Hedong Road Economic and Strategic System Division gained greater power, so it can be said that it has broken away from Tong Guan's leadership and acted on its own, but it retained the power to supervise him, faintly above Tong Guan's position. This also gave a wake-up call to those guys who secretly made trouble for Zhao Ta, the family is the prince of the prince, and the performance can go directly to the saint, how outsiders make small reports is also in vain, the emperor can see it and say it, but let him participate in a book is enough for you to drink a pot.

Another holy decree was specially given to Zhao Ta, praising him for expanding the territory for hundreds of miles, capturing the enemy chieftain, and making immortal achievements in less than a year after he took office. But the problem is that Zhao Ta has already reached the top of the ranks, and there is no seal, but he is rewarded with millions of dollars, given a brocade robe, and sealed the envoy of the Anguo Festival, and allowed him to form a new army, as a pro-army, and given the name 'Loyal and Brave'!

On July 20, Zhao Ta held a congratulatory meeting in Xinqin, conveyed the emperor's will, and rewarded the army. He personally gave Yeli the seal letter, and ordered him to set up institutions at all levels, form a government army, set up a government school, and levy and send men to build a city.

On July 22, Zhao Ta went to Yincheng to preside over the memorial ceremony of the Martyrs' Shrine, enshrine the shrine of the fallen soldiers, and issue bereavement pensions according to the regulations. The bones of 76 soldiers killed in the Xiangyi Army were cremated and buried, and a special person was sent back to Xiangyi for burial, and the rewards were brought back together, and the bereavement was handled in accordance with the rules of the house.

On July 25, Zhao Ta returned to Xinqin and discussed the newly acquired cultivated land along the border and distributed it to the meritorious Han archers according to the land boundary; In Yincheng, another 10,000 hectares of land was opened up for the cultivation of the official land by the captives and captives returned to the households, in addition to keeping the living resources, the surplus grain was used for military purposes; The remaining land is cultivated and grazed by displaced people recruited by the Linzhou government, and is taxed according to the law.

On July 26, Zhao Ta Zhaolin, the Fu, and the three state guards and the governors and owners of the forts along the border arranged defense. At this time, the first line of Hengshan was occupied, and the depth of 200 miles outside was a buffer, the enemy of Fengzhou was now difficult to protect itself, and the Shenyong Prison Military Division was also disabled, and it was not enough to slow down in a few years, and it was no longer enough to cause trouble, and the pressure on the two states of Linfu was greatly reduced, and the situation on the Hedong Road against Xixia turned from defense to counteroffensive stage. …,

On July 28, the Liancheng Department was established, and business travelers from all over the prefecture gathered, and all ethnic groups in Hezhou could easily obtain food and daily necessities from livestock to meet their needs.

On July 30, Zhao Ta appointed Shen Songyue, the chief secretary of the march, as a recruiting envoy in the name of the Hedong Economic Strategy Division, and went to the states of Hedong to recruit elite and strong soldiers to join the loyal and brave army.

On the first day of August, Zhao Ta finished handling all the affairs, ended the border patrol and triumphantly, and led the troops back to Taiyuan.

．．．．．．

When I came, it was still early spring, and when I returned, it was mid-autumn, the staggered river channels, the flat river valleys, the high peaks, the dense forests, and the turbulent Jialu River flowed on the grassland, and the blue sky complemented each other, adding a bit of aura to the decadent autumn, the cattle and sheep were leisurely eating water and grass by the river, and the herdsmen were riding on horses and singing unwillingly, a harmonious scene.

"Why is the second master unhappy?" Zhao Xin asked the prince by pulling the blanket on his lap.

"Alas, your face is tanned, I feel distressed when I look at it!" Zhao Ta half leaned on the car, looked at Zhao Xin and sighed and said, after the war, he always couldn't lift his spirits, and he was so tired that he could only lie in the car and march with the team every day.

"Hmph, I think the second master didn't see Miss Zhe on this trip, so I'm sad!" Zhao Xin snorted and said, but he still quickly took out the small glass mirror from his pocket and turned his back.

"Alas, Luohua deliberately flows ruthlessly, I will make this heart a bright moon, but he let this shine on the ditch!" Zhao Ta sighed again and said.

"And what about me, look at you sighing all day long, your face is wrinkled, seventeen years old looks like seventy years old!" Zhao Xin was amused, and took the mirror to let the prince see his bitter gourd face.

"Can you not worry, my mother later wrote to me to go back to Beijing to get married, but I forgot what Miss Zhu looked like, and I will face a stranger every day in the future, how can I survive these days!" Zhao Ta looked at the bitter gourd face in the mirror and smiled.

"Second master, what are you going to do, you won't still be hiding, right?" Zhao Xin looked at the prince and lowered his head and said timidly.

"I escaped the first year of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth, so I have to think of a long-term way." Zhao Ta touched the two hard stubbles that had just emerged on his chin and said.
