Chapter 173: The Dust Has Settled

He just regretted in his heart, he shouldn't have put his hope on Zong Han, first sent a sudden and quick attack with a small number of cavalry, and then waited for Zong Han's troops to arrive, and then the main forces on both sides worked together, not only to break the siege, but also to defeat most of the Song army and flee.

As a result, Zong Han's army did not arrive, but instead caused the main force of the Song army to surround all his subordinates, and there was no hope of turning over.

He drew his knife and began to fight in person, after a short time, he had already suffered a few minor injuries, many generals and henchmen persuaded him to escape, and they were all scolded by Zong Bi and retreated, and later, everyone understood the situation of the party and Zong Bi's determination, and began to fight desperately, hoping to kill a few more Song soldiers, and the idea of escaping was no more.

The remnant sun is like blood.

The last Jurchen soldier who fought hard, did not know his name, nor was he a general of the army, the black armor on his body was stained with blood, his strong body was full of scars, dozens of Song soldiers surrounded him, swords and spears were like a forest, and looking around, the flag was broken and the horse was dead, blood flowed, and more than 30,000 Jurchen soldiers had all died tragically on the spot.

Although the Song army also paid the heavy price of tens of thousands of dead and wounded, it was to annihilate all the Jurchen cavalry, and no one escaped the net.

At this point, it's all over.

The Jurchen knight, as if he knew that the curtain was about to be lifted, showed a peaceful smile on his face, he no longer resisted, threw the mace in his hand on the ground, and closed his eyes.

A strong soldier of the Song army jumped up and slashed with a knife, the opponent's head was instantly separated from his neck, blood gushed out, and the human head fell to the ground with a bang.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of Song soldiers cheered together, and in the setting sun, they used iron and blood. Having fully witnessed the honor of his nation, his country, and his individual, everyone knows that after this war, there will be no rival.

That night, the heads of Zong Bi and others were found one by one by the soldiers of the Song Army who were looking for them with torches. Cleaned, packed in a wooden box, passed on to Taiyuan.

Although it is a bit barbaric to proclaim victory in this way, it is also the most appropriate way.

Emperor Zhao Huan first received the good news of victory in Taiyuan, and then met Zong Bi and others at the head of the land.

Unlike the ministers and generals who cheered and excited, Zhao Huan's expression was extraordinarily calm, as if it was nothing to do. At this moment, he is indeed calmer than others. Because he was already more confident than others.

Thousands of years of wisdom. To make China stronger as an emperor, if it can't be done, he thought. What could be simpler?

After passing the head of Taiyuan, then passing the head of Chang'an, Jiankang, Hangzhou, and finally, sending the head back to Kaifeng, which has been recovered, and throwing it into the river, let these ferocity that once trampled on the peace of the Song people disappear completely.

After the big victory, Zhao Huan connected the order. Quduan's troops rested in situ, and after Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Han Chenzhong and other troops arrived, they besieged Yanjing.

In the face of this famous city that was attacked several times a hundred years ago but never succeeded, but defeated the self-confidence of the Song people, Zhao Huan was extremely cautious, and even ministers such as Li Gang and Zhao Ding felt that the emperor was too cautious.

A month later, 500,000 Song troops gathered under Yanjing City, and Zhao Huan opened a yellow umbrella. Wearing a dragon robe, the royal driver personally went to the city to command the final battle of the Jin Kingdom.

From a tactical point of view, of course, there is no need for him to come, and there are many famous generals, and he needs to be coordinated, and the significance of recovering Yanjing is even above Kaifeng, so he naturally needs to come in person.

Moreover, even he himself wanted to see this famous city with his own eyes and return to the rule of the Han people.

After Hebule swept away many cities north of Yanjing, he received help from the Khitans and a small number of Han troops, and sent people to deliver letters several times, willing to attack the city on behalf of the Song soldiers, but was lightly rejected by Zhao Huan.

The emperor drove here, and the Song army outside the city cheered like thunder, and the red armor was like the sea, so that the golden soldiers who had to defend the city could not see their heads at a glance, even if they thought about it with a pig's brain, they knew that the city would not be able to hold it.

That night, Zong Han committed suicide, and with him was the remaining noble King Zongwang of the Wanyan Tribe.

A few days later, Yanjing City was broken, and Zhao Huan rode into the city, originally calmly and calmly, but he didn't feel tears raining down. He touched the cold city wall, which was not covered with blood, and sighed with emotion.

Yanjing Shendu, under a wonderful historical opportunity, finally returned to the hands of the Han people two hundred years ahead of schedule.

He secretly swore that the city would never be allowed to change hands again after his death.

The Han people in the city greet each other on the road, fragrant flowers are everywhere, the loess is scattered on the street, and the Han people in Kaifeng City are ecstatic different, and the Han people here are happy with a trace of restraint, and even a little panic. The city had been lost for so long, and the Han people had identified with their Liao identity and then been ruled by the Jurchens, not knowing how their return would be treated in the old country.

That night, Zhao Huan ordered to reward the three armies, and at the same time, the people in the city were also rewarded with cattle wine.

Zhao Huan had a good night's sleep, and the next day it was slightly bright, and he got up as usual, not chaotic at all.

Chongji, Zhe Yanshi, Fei Lun, Xue Qiang and others stood beside him.

When this group of young people was in the Five Kingdoms, they often looked at Zhao Huan like this, and they never thought that five or six years later, everyone would either be an enemy or their own person who mentioned the intelligence head who was afraid, or stay by Zhao Huan's side, protect his safety, monitor the hundred officials and the royal family in Beijing, and even sometimes mediate the disputes in the harem.

At this time, the wheels of history are rolling by, Zhao Huan is close to middle age, and the teenagers who played polo back then have all grown into young people and become the backbone of this empire.

After Zhao Huan finished exercising and washing, he saw a very red face, and the guards who did not leave him were by his side, and he smiled unconsciously: "I heard that in the battle outside Yanjing City that day, you, as the chief general of the Chinese army in Quduan, personally killed Yan Tuhesu and made such a great achievement, I look at you at this time, but you are still as youthful as you were that day." ”

In that year, he was the oldest among the young people of the Five Kingdoms, he was already twenty-three or four years old, in the era at that time, he had already married a wife and had children, he had a calm bearing, and he was a general who led the army, adding a majestic look, but he was so ridiculed by Zhao Huan, presumably Zhao Huan looked at him seriously, and deliberately did so.

Chongji's face turned red at first when Zhao Huan said, but after a while, he replied seriously: "Since I followed Your Majesty in the City of the Five Kingdoms back then, until now, the minister has not changed. ”

His answer, not only showed loyalty, but also lightly exposed Zhao Huan's joke, Zhao Huan first paused, and then laughed: "Yes, I heard this, and I was really happy in my heart." ”

In the eyes of the people of the time, Fei Lun has always been synonymous with terrible, but in front of Zhao Huan and several brothers and partners, he was full of smiles, and when he heard the jokes of the monarch and ministers, he also stepped forward and said: "I heard that when the eldest brother was in the army, he saluted Chang'an every day, so loyal, but he was the most top-notch of our brothers." ”

He was in charge of the intelligence department, and originally also had the role of monitoring the army, so naturally he couldn't hide his every move.

Zhao Huan heard this, looked at the two eyes, and saw that the rest of the people had different expressions, Fei Lun was generous, and sighed unconsciously in his heart, but he praised on his lips: "The seed is extremely loyal, I am really happy, and I am really ashamed."

It's a child of a family. ”

As soon as the wind of words changed, he said to the rest of the people: "You have followed me since you were young, the love of the monarch and the minister is extraordinary, I believe in loving you, and you are no different from the children of your own family, and everyone is very competitive, I look at you as the same, and you are also loyal to the ministers, every time I think of it, I feel that I did not look away when I was in the Five Kingdoms, and I am really happy." ”

The emperor was so relieved that everyone listened to it with joy, and immediately bowed down and bowed, and praised the saint and thanksgiving without mentioning it.

Junchen was talking to himself, but a guard came to remind him that the time had come, and Zhao Huan should change his clothes and go on the road.

When Zhao Huan changed his robe and went out, Zhang Jun and others were already waiting outside, today is different from usual, everyone has changed into ordinary robes, all wearing auspicious clothes, high-crowned purple robes, looking majestic, but also festive.

Zhao Huan smiled, turned over his horse, and ordered everyone, "Let's go." ”

After saying that, he took the lead and galloped in front, and Fei Lun, Zhi Yanshi and others also hurriedly got on the horse and followed behind.

Zhang Jun had a straightforward and resolute personality, and he and a group of ministers followed Zhao Huan, but he showed dissatisfaction on his face and said to the emperor: "This Hebul Khan is too cunning. It is really hateful to leave Taishang in his army, force His Majesty to go out of the city and go to the Mongol army, and take the lead in etiquette. ”

It turned out that before the Song army recovered Yanjing, Hebul saw that he couldn't get any bargain here, so he sent troops to sweep away the remnants of the Jin people. Shangjing fell, almost all the relatives and nobles of the clan died in battle, and the Jin soldiers who stayed in the hometown of the northeast were not originally elite, except for a few Mongolian soldiers who suffered losses, the hometown of the Jin country was almost swept away by the Mongols, and all of them were occupied.

And because the city of the Five Kingdoms imprisoned a large number of Song people, even including Song Emperor Zhao Ji and other big figures, the Jin soldiers left a lot of elite soldiers to guard, Hebul knew that the big harvest was also a big truth, so he sent 10,000 elites to defeat the Jin soldiers guarding the Five Kingdoms, and rescued all the Song people in the city, including the dying old Zhao Ji.

After getting Zhao Ji, Hebule naturally knew the truth that strange goods could be lived, and stayed in his camp together with Zhao Ji and the rest of the Song Dynasty clan relatives. Before the Song people got Yanjing, he used the excuse that the soldiers were fierce and dangerous, and the road was far away, so he refused to send Zhao Ji back by detouring to Yunzhong, until Zhao Huan personally arrived and quickly recovered Yanjing, because Zhao Ji was in the Mongol army, and he could only be respected as an emperor, and personally went to the Mongol military camp to welcome his father.
