Knowing that Zhao Yan and they encountered the ambush of the remnants of the Western Xia, but they annihilated the other party in one fell swoop, Cai Ting was also very happy, and immediately held a grand ceremony for them to enter the city, at first the people in the city did not know what was going on, and thought that there was a lively to see, so they gathered on the street, but when the heads of the Xixia cavalry were sent in, the faces of these people became very complicated, after all, they were still Xixia people some time ago, and now they see so many heads of Western Xia soldiers sent in, I don't know whether to be happy or sad in my heart? Only those merchants who came from the Great Song Dynasty would sincerely cheer.

Because the previous battle caused heavy losses to the soldiers under the cultivation of Chen, Zhao Yan rested in Xi'an Prefecture for a few days, and asked Cai Ting to help them replenish their troops, and then set off to the south again, and soon entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, now Zhao Yan and others finally completely relieved, and finally no longer had to worry about someone coming to rescue Li Liangzuo.

But even if he doesn't have to worry about Li Liangzuo's problem, Zhao Yan is still like an arrow, this time he has been away from home for almost half a year, and the child in Cao Ying's belly has been almost seven months, although he can receive letters from Cao Ying from time to time, he is still very worried, and he is anxious to go home and see Cao Ying with his own eyes.

Huang Wude also understood Zhao Yan's thoughts very well, so he secretly discussed it with Chong Ge, and as a result, Chong Ge also immediately understood, speaking of which, this time he exterminated Zhang Wei, the remnants of Western Xia, and he also made a lot of contributions, and these were all because Zhao Yan agreed to take risks, so he also owed Zhao Yan a favor, and when he heard that Zhao Yan's princess was about to give birth, he was naturally very interested, and immediately ordered the whole army to speed up the march.

After entering the Great Song Dynasty, the journey can be described as very smooth, especially the Great Song Dynasty has invested more in the official road, generally as long as you don't miss the trip, there is a post station to live in every day, and Zhao Yan They are escorted by a large army, even if there are robbers and thieves on the road, they definitely have no courage to appear in front of them, so after nearly a month of marching, Zhao Yan and their team finally came to the city of Tokyo.

As early as a few days ago, Zhao Shu had already received the news that Zhao Yan escorted Li Liangzuo back to Beijing, which also made him immediately summon the world, after all, this is a very encouraging thing, think about the Great Song Dynasty in the hands of the Western Xia a few years ago, especially the territory and population of the Great Song Dynasty are several times that of the Western Xia, but it also needs to be given to the Western Xia New Year coins every year in exchange for peace, although it is nominally a reward, but even the Huangkou child knows what is going on, which also makes Zhao Shu, who is the emperor, feel very aggrieved.

But now Zhao Shu can finally raise his eyebrows, before and after this war, the Great Song Dynasty launched a total of more than 200,000 troops, and the consumption of grain and grass materials is countless, paying such a big price, and now it has finally paid off, not only destroyed the Western Xia, a parasitic tumor on the Great Song Dynasty, but also captured the emperor of the Western Xia alive, which is a feat that only existed in the early days of the Great Song Dynasty, so Zhao Shu was also full of ambition at this time, and even his eyes had begun to cast on the land of Yanyun in the north, Complete the feat that even Emperor Taizong failed to accomplish at the beginning.

Of course, it's still a little early to consider recovering Yanyun, at least in the past few years, after this war, the army of the Great Song Dynasty needs to recuperate, and at the same time it takes time to digest the territory and population of Western Xia, and the Liao State has also begun to grab the territory of Western Xia, and the Great Song Dynasty does not need to retreat anymore, these things will consume a lot of Zhao Shu's time and energy, so he is also busy during this time, as for Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu and other ministers, they are also busy, but the thought of destroying Western Xia, They can also use this to leave a good name in the history books, so Han Qi and the others are smiling even if they are tired.

But today, whether it is Zhao Shu, the emperor, or Han Qi's ministers, they all stopped the government affairs in their hands, and then dressed neatly, and came to the Suzaku Gate early to wait, because today is the day when Zhao Yan escorted Li Liangzuo to the capital, according to etiquette, Zhao Shu will lead a hundred civil and military officials to greet him, of course, not to welcome Zhao Yan, but to welcome Li Liangzuo, the captured emperor.

Of course, the greeting is just a more polite and official statement, the real reason is that the Great Song Dynasty has been angry with the Western Xia for so many years, and now that the emperor of the Western Xia has been captured, Zhao Shu and the civil and military officials of the Great Song Dynasty will naturally not miss this good opportunity to raise their eyebrows, especially in front of Li Liangzuo to pose as a winner, and then take him into the city to accept the congratulations of thousands of people in the city, this kind of scene is rare in ordinary times.

Originally, Zhao Yan and the others came from the north, and they could just enter the capital from Jinglongmen in the north of Tokyo City, but Zhao Shu informed him in advance that he must enter through the main gate in the south of the capital, that is, the Vermilion Bird Gate, which made Zhao Yan feel quite resentful in his heart, because in this way, they would have to bypass half of the capital and embark on a lot of unjust roads.

Of course, I am afraid that only Zhao Yan in the whole team will think like this, in contrast, Chong Ge and Huang Wude and others are very excited, among them, the soldiers under Chong Ge are even more prepared in advance, although they are broken, but still very powerful armor is neatly dressed, and then one by one the waist is straight, majestic and high-spirited rush to the Suzaku Gate, because for them, being able to escort the enemy emperor and enter the capital through the Suzaku Gate is definitely the most glorious moment in their lives, even if they are discharged, When he goes home and tells him about it, I'm afraid that even the local county lord will have to give him three points of courtesy.

Zhao Yan had long known that Zhao Shu was going to bring people to greet him, but he didn't expect that there were so many people who came to greet him, in addition to Zhao Shu and the civil and military officials led by him, there were also many people in the capital who came to see the excitement outside the city, and as a result, both sides of the city gate were also full of people, and when they came to the official road in front of the city gate, they immediately became the focus of everyone's attention, and countless people pointed to Zhao Yan on a horse, or the carriage behind Zhao Yan to hold Li Liangzuo and discussed.

When Zhao Yan saw Zhao Shu under the canopy, he immediately drove forward, jumped off his horse when he was a hundred steps away from Zhao Shu, and then stepped forward to report: "The son Zhao Yan sees his father, and the Western Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo has been escorted back to Beijing, please check it out with my father!" ”

"Okay, okay~, please get up quickly, and go with your father to see this Li Liangzuo!" Zhao Shu excitedly said three good words in a row, and then stepped forward to pull Zhao Yan up and said, even if he was as steady as him, he was a little out of shape because he was too happy at this time, but for these little things, the hundred officials behind him didn't care at all, and their attention was all on the carriage behind Zhao Yan.

Seeing that Zhao Shu just wanted to see Li Liangzuo, and he didn't even care about his son, who had been away from home for many days, which made Zhao Yan a little resentful, but he didn't dare to delay time, you must know that at this time, the civil and military officials behind Zhao Shu stretched their necks and waited, Zhao Yan didn't want to be angry.

At that moment, Zhao Yan waved his hand, and the soldiers in charge of guarding Li Liangzuo's carriage immediately grabbed the pull rings on the four walls of the carriage, and then pulled it back hard, as a result, the baffles on the four walls of the carriage were immediately pulled off, revealing the cage inside, and Li Liangzuo sat there cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, not paying any attention to the eyes around him.

Zhao Shu took Zhao Yan and the civil and military officials behind him to Li Liangzuo, everyone looked at each other seriously, speaking of which Zhao Shu and Li Liangzuo are not particularly strangers, the two have a lot of correspondence on the national book, but they have not met, this is the first time they have seen each other's true faces, but it is a pity that one of them has become a prisoner of the order.

"Li Liangzuo, I didn't expect us to meet in this situation, right?" Zhao Shu glanced at Li Liangzuo a few times, and then said with a smile, if it was a few years ago, Zhao Shu, who had just ascended the throne, would never have thought that he would one day destroy Western Xia and capture Li Liangzuo alive, so at this time, when he was proud, his face also showed a little emotion.

Hearing Zhao Shu's question, Li Liangzuo, who was sitting there, finally reacted, only to see him open his eyes and look at Zhao Shu, but he smiled freely and said: "Becoming a king and defeating a king, since ancient times, Your Majesty destroyed my Great Xia today, but who dares to guarantee that no one can destroy the Great Song Dynasty in the future?" ”

As soon as Li Liangzuo's words came out, they immediately attracted the angry eyes of hundreds of civil and military officials of the Great Song Dynasty, but Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu and a few others were very calm and did not take Li Liangzuo's words to heart, as for Zhao Shu, he also showed a smile calmly and said: "Li Liangzuo, if Xixia can have today, it is all your father and son who have done their own evil and cannot live, if it weren't for you repeatedly going south to harass my Great Song Dynasty, killing my people and taking my property, my Great Song Dynasty would not regard you as enemies, and you would not have fallen to this point!" ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for your Great Song Dynasty who regarded our party as cattle and sheep, and only thought about annexing the ancestral land of our party and people, forcing my great-grandfather to raise troops to protect himself, and finally after several generations of efforts, he won a place for my party to live, but unfortunately now it is destroyed in my hands, but you Great Song Dynasty should not be complacent, as long as my party is not destroyed, you don't want to rule Western Xia in peace!" Li Liangzuo also argued unceremoniously at this time.

Zhao Yan was anxious to go home at this time, but he didn't expect Zhao Shu and Li Liangzuo to quarrel non-stop, which made him very anxious, and when he saw that Zhao Shu wanted to say something more, he couldn't help but step forward and said: "Father, Li Liangzuo has become a prisoner under the ranks, and if you worry about him too much, you will only lose your identity!" ”

When Zhao Shu heard Zhao Yan's persuasion, he also felt that it was very reasonable, especially since there were so many of his subjects around, and he really couldn't argue with Li Liangzuo anymore, so he no longer paid attention to the other party, and immediately conveyed his will and began to enter the city. Originally, Zhao Yan thought that he would have nothing to do with himself after entering the city, but he didn't expect to sacrifice any prisoners to Taimiao, that is, to tell the old ancestor that he had captured the leader of the enemy, so that the ancestors knew their exploits, which was really a very boring thing for Zhao Yan, he just wanted to go home quickly and reunite with Cao Ying and them, and he didn't know if he had been away for so long, and the two baby daughters still recognized themselves?
