There was nothing else to say for a while, Zhao Huan returned to the palace to rest, and Zhang Jundian sent elite cavalry, and then went to the rear of the fleeing enemy army to investigate the enemy's situation, and at the same time sent messengers to rush to Zhang Jun's army, ordering them to act, and it was best to take advantage of the emptiness of the enemy's hinterland to send troops to Hedong. The enemy can hit Chang'an by surprise, and he salutes back like this, but he is not in a hurry to see Wanyan Zongbi at Tongguan.

Staying until midnight, Zhao Huanfang woke up leisurely.

Since Chang'an heard the police, he has almost not closed his eyes in the past three days, has been discussing the military situation, in the city when it is urgent, but also all night in the city to supervise the battle, very hard, to wait for the alarm to be removed, but can no longer support it, and finally lie down on the couch, a sleep.

After he woke up, he briefly freshened up, used a few snacks, and immediately asked people, and after learning that Zhang Jun and the others had not rested, he ordered to be summoned immediately.

Zhang Jun was in his early fifties at this time, but his energy seemed to be more vigorous than Zhao Huan, who was in his early thirties. Zhao Huan was originally worried that he would not be able to support him, but Zhang Jun came in, glanced at Zhao Huan first, then saluted and got up, and smiled at Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty's expression and face look fine, so the ministers will be much more relieved." ”

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "I am just a disguise, where has I made any strength, just staying up late, to the secretary and others, working day and night, like this, the country can be fine." ”

"Your Majesty is wrong. The safety of His Majesty is related to the life and death of my Great Song Dynasty. As long as Your Majesty is fine, what about Chang'an, and what can you do if your ministers are tired and die in battle. As long as the throne is true. I have a great Song Enyang doctor for a year, the country's morale and military spirit are available, and the enemy is self-reliant, but he must not destroy my Great Song Society. ”

Zhao Huan knew that he was persuading himself to take a favorite concubine, and even after he stood up, he smiled at him and said: "A few days ago in the palace, there was a palace person surnamed Li who found out that he was pregnant, although he didn't know men and women, but it was also a royal event. It is inconvenient to say it during the siege, so I will talk to you today. It also relieves everyone's doubts. ”

Zhang Jun was overjoyed at first, knelt on the ground, and bowed his hand to Zhao Huan to congratulate: "Your Majesty, this is really a blessing for the country!" If the prince is born, the Song family will no longer have to worry about it. ”

He has a layer of meaning, but it is inconvenient to say it, Zhao Huan knows it. Since he fled back, he has not been able to change brides every night. However, there are also ten or eight women in the deep palace, but no one has ever been pregnant with a dragon seed. After two years like this, it is inevitable that there will be rumors. The emperor was no longer able to have children and was incapable of having children. In this way, there were rumors among the scholars. Some people suggested that he should be the queen of the palace, and some people persuaded him to raise the children of the clan, so when the country was in danger, it was an extremely terrible thing for the lord to have no heirs.

Zhao Huan dragged left and right, but he didn't believe that he really couldn't do it. Now that it has finally paid off its hard work, good news has come out of the harem, and it is announced at the time of Chang'an's great victory. It is of great help to the entire court situation, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks. Zhao Huan's position as emperor is naturally no problem.

No queen, in modern times, it is a very serious event, not to mention the Song Dynasty, where etiquette and religion became more and more strict, the emperor had no children, and the damage to his own majesty was really extremely serious. If not, the war is urgent at this time, and the monarch and the ministers are preparing to discuss the war overnight, Zhao Huan mentioned this matter, but Zhang Jun and others did not think it was strange at all, but couldn't help but be happy, and the reason for this is this.

Seeing Zhang Jun's joy, Zhao Huan's eyebrows couldn't hide his joy, and he smiled again: "I wish it was a prince." ”

Zhang Jun got up according to the order, but his face was sad again, and he groaned slightly, and finally couldn't help but say to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, since the palace person surnamed Li is pregnant, I don't know what position Your Majesty will bestow on her?" ”

Zhao Huan smiled indifferently and said to him: "I have ordered the king to draw up an edict with sincerity and make Li Jia a concubine." ”

Zhang Jun was shocked when he heard this, and then finally bowed down again, and said happily: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

The queens of the Song Dynasty were selected from the families of scholars and relatives, unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties, one was in the so-called Qing white family, that is, the home of the middle and lower officials, and the other was to select the girl in the Manchu and Han Eight Banners, and then designated one person as the queen. The queen of the Song Dynasty was more noble than the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there were often the actions of the queen mother. This palace man surnamed Li is just an ordinary palace maid in the harem, just because of her beautiful appearance and serving Zhao Huan, if she is immediately registered as the queen because of the birth of a child, it is a very inappropriate thing.

Zhao Huan's handling at this time, the experience is very old-fashioned, and he did not mess up because of joy, he was convinced by Zhang Junshen's sigh.

In this way, even if the matter is revealed, Zhao Huan changed his expression and asked Zhang Jun Zhengse: "How about checking the casualties of the enemy and me?" ”

"Our army, together with Minzhuang, suffered more than 20,000 casualties, of which the Xiang army and Minzhuang were the most seriously wounded."

Zhao Huan's expression was painful, and with a "hey" sound, he slapped his leg hard, and then said: "Waiting for the attack, I still have such heavy casualties, I am very sad in my heart." ”

Zhang Jun didn't say anything, he has seen a lot of casualties over the years, this time in fact, most of the people killed in the battle were the Xiang army and the people who were shot and wounded, although the casualties of the regular forbidden army were also very heavy, but they were also much lower than expected. As a privy councillor, he already feels very prominent.

Then he continued: "The Jin people were under the city of Changmen, more than 5,000 corpses, 3,000 were killed along the way, and the rest of the wounded were countless, the armor and weapons were discarded on the way, piled up like a mountain, and the war horses were scattered everywhere. ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Jun was really overjoyed.

The armor and armor battle is not enough, the Song Army's Weapons Supervision and Bow and Crossbow Courtyard produce a large number of weapons every day, and the sophistication far exceeds the inferior goods in the hands of the enemy, although they are piled up, but they can only equip the second-line defense troops in the southeast, or hand them over to the Xiang army for use, so they are not very useful. Only these tens of thousands of war horses are really treasures that have fallen from the world, and they can't be bought with money.

The Song Dynasty did not have its own horse breeding land, and for more than a hundred years, I didn't know how much anger it suffered, and tried its best, but the Liao State and the Western Xia knew that the national strength was far inferior to the Song Dynasty, and they would never trade war horses with the Song Dynasty. As a result, after so many years, it takes a lot of effort and money to raise horses, but they can only produce extremely poor short horses, barely go into battle, and are already shorter than the enemy, and they can't run, and they can't fight.

This battle Jin Bing was originally a big gamble, the elite cavalry rushed, and even hastily attacked the city, as a result, Zhao Huan was no longer the weak man of the year, the decisive battle in the city, appointed Yu Yunwen to fight a strange plan, decisive attack, under the first battle, the Jin soldiers were defeated and lost, it was a big victory that Song and Jin had never won for so many years, although the battle of Fuping was won, but there was no substantial cheapness at all, the two sides killed and injured each other, and the Jin soldiers calmly retreated, and this big victory, although there were not many kills, but so many war horses were captured, If the Song army had an extra strong cavalry team in vain, it taught Zhang Jun how not to be happy in his heart.

Zhao Huan saw him like this, and he also knew what he meant, because he sighed and said: "In the past, when the Han people were strong, the Hu people had no place to get rouge, and my Han people lost Youyan and Hetao, and there was no place to graze horses. ”

Such bold words could not teach Zhang Jun to be moved, even together with Zhao Huan's left and right guards, Wang Ye and others were also expressionless, and no one came out to praise the saints.

With the wisdom of the founding emperor, the Song army was strong at that time, and the Liao State was ruled by orphans and widows, and the national strength was very weak.

In this way, who would dare to recover Yanyun lightly among the emperors of later generations, not to mention that Zhao Huan had just gotten out of the crisis.

After half a ring, Zhang Junfang smiled reluctantly and replied to the emperor: "May Your Majesty start well and be cautious." ”

"I understand what Qing means, but I can't understand Qing now."

Zhao Huan didn't bother with these courtiers, but just spoke lightly and revealed the matter. He asked Zhang Jun again: "Tongguan and Zhang Jun's department, is there any news?" ”

Zhang Jun did not answer, and signaled to Wang Ye, the privy colleague, and the other party immediately stepped forward, bowed down and played: "The minister has been waiting for news from the privy council, and in the evening, the Tongguan Zhao envoy sent a message that the Tongguan garrison listened to His Majesty's order, and did not mobilize a single soldier, and the enemy did not move on the opposite side of the city. The minister has drafted a reply and ordered someone to send it back in the starry night, and report the situation of Chang'an to Zhao Envoy, so that he can act with the camera. ”

Zhao Huan nodded and smiled, and replied, "Yes, you did a good job." ”

Wang Ye said again: "As for Zhang Jun's department, there is no news yet, and the minister has sent more people to rush to all parts of Yanzhou, so as to find Zhang and understand the return." ”

When it came to this matter, Zhang Jun, Wang Ye and other cardinal officials all looked worried. Zhang Jun is the commander of the army, tens of thousands of enemy soldiers crossed, it is impossible to really hide from the Song Dynasty generals, just ask for a soldier to be surprised quickly, Chang'an has been a few days of hard work, plus the enemy must have news when he crossed the river, and Zhang Jun's department is not very far away, should have known the news, and the starry night came to help. Even if the soldiers and horses were dragged by the enemy east of the river, there should be a messenger to come and reassure the emperor. As a result, in the past few days, not only could there be no trace of Zhang Jun's department, but there was not even a messenger, but it had to make the cardinal government extremely worried.

Seeing them like this, Zhao Huan took the initiative to comfort him, and only smiled: "Although Zhang Juncai is not outstanding, he is also an old soldier, tens of thousands of elite soldiers are in his hands, and the main force of Jin soldiers is mostly near Tongguan, these tens of thousands of people have just suffered losses in our hands, what can he do there." Left and right were dragged, and the messenger was in trouble again. ”

Speaking of this, he frowned and said, "The carrier pigeon at the end of the curve doesn't know what to do......"

Before the words fell, someone was heard shouting in a hurry, exclaiming: "Quickly ask the official family to come out and take shelter, there is a fire in the west of the city." ”
