Yelu Chucai and the three of them retreated, and it was Zhen Dexiu again, and he said suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not jealous of the virtuous, but it is not too rash to appoint Yelu Chucai as the governor of the government and take charge of the diversion of the Yellow River. I am afraid that the officials of the world will be uneasy. ”

is just a subordinate, and he is also valued by Chief Hu's Wo Kotai, so it seems that there is no need to mention such a high position in the governor's affairs at once. It is inevitable that people will not be convinced.

"True justice, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people. Yelu Chucai has just passed forty years, and the spring and autumn period is in full bloom, so it is natural for him to do things. Yelu Chucai is not doing things alone, the officials below are the fundamental. Reuse the three of Yelu Chucai, and the world's ministers and generals will also be at ease. Besides, with you and Wei Liaoweng by your side, what else am I worried about? ”

Jin Deok-so nodded lightly and said no more.

There seems to be some truth in the emperor's words. In other words, what can the emperor do if ten cows can't pull it back?

"Your Majesty, the Barshu father and son are asking to see you outside the imperial study."

The Eastern Song Dynasty came in to play, and Zhao Hong smiled slightly.

"Let them in!"

The two rivers have been pacified, and the next step is the Gaochang Kingdom of Balshu.

"Your Majesty, you must not be kind to a woman, and raise a tiger for trouble!"

Zhen Dexiu was worried, and said solemnly on the side.

That fox-like Anar was by the emperor's side every day, serving tea and water, no matter how big or small. The emperor should not be obsessed with his mind and misunderstand state affairs.

"Zhengong, you are good at everything, but in this thought, some are too much."

Zhao Hong shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He said that he and Anal were innocent, does anyone believe it?

However, there are beautiful women waiting by the side, and it is also eye-catching, which is indeed pleasant enough.

"The Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, I, Gaochangguo, voluntarily surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, and I have no two hearts. Please accept Gaochang Kingdom and treat my subjects of Gaochang Kingdom well! ”

The father and son of Balshu came in, knelt down and kowtowed, trembling, and fell to the ground.

After the Taiyuan War, the cavalry of the Barshu father and son went north with the Western Route Army of the Great Song Dynasty and recovered Yunzhong all the way. It was not until a month ago that his headquarters returned to Gaochang and are now tunzha to the west of the river.

And the father and son of Balshu went south to Jinling to meet the Song Emperor Zhao Hong.

Gao Changguo?

Zhao Hong looked at the father and son of Balshu who were kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but smile softly.

"Balshu, your father and son should know that Gaochang was originally under my Chinese rule, the Han had the Western Regions Protectorate, and the Tang Dynasty had the Anbei Protectorate and the Anxi Protectorate. Are you sure you want to save your Gaochang Kingdom? ”

The Western Regions, that is the homeland of China, how can you leave your homeland for a long time and never return home!

"Balshu, the envoy of Eastern Liao, the land of Liaodong, has been under the rule of my Great Song Dynasty, and the queen of Liao and her young son have settled in Jinling. Do you really want the Great Song Dynasty to use troops against your Gaochang Kingdom? ”

Prime Minister Zhen Dexiu had a blank face and said directly.

He is the emperor's teacher, so he doesn't care if the beauty in the Western Regions next to the emperor is the emperor's new favorite?

"Great Song Tianzi, is there no other way?"

Balshu was old and emaciated.

Sure enough, Gao Changguo, I'm afraid there is no future.

"Bal Shu, I see that your face is full of illness, it is better to stay first, let the imperial doctors give you a good diagnosis and treatment, and talk about Gaochang's affairs later. Life is short, and nothing can be compared with your own body and bones. You say, don't you? ”

Zhao Hong looked at Balshu's gray hair, and the aging made people sigh, and his compassion was spontaneous.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! From now on, Gaochang was under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty. He also asked the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to reinforce Gaochang so as not to be poisoned by the Tatar army. ”

Balshu had no choice but to receive thanksgiving.

In case the news of his defection to the Song Dynasty was spread, it was not clear that Ogedai would send troops to retaliate. His wife and children are old and young, but they are still in Gaochang.

"Balshu, are you sure you want to surrender to my Great Song?"

Zhen Dexiu's face was solemn and he asked loudly.

"The eldest husband said yes. Great Song Tianzi, please accept Gaochang! ”

The father and son of Balshu kowtowed repeatedly. Now, under the control of others, there is no other way but to choose to surrender.

"Balshu, beggar Main, get up."

Waiting for the father and son of Balshu to get up, Zhao Hong continued:

"Begging for Main, I want to send officials and 30,000 troops into Gaochang to drive out the Tatar forces in Gaochang. Would you like to be a guide? ”

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to go!"

The beggar Ma Yin respectfully knelt down on one knee and said.

The Great Song Dynasty army is mighty, the army is in the world, Gao Changguo has already voted for the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no choice.

Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty was prosperous and wealthy, and there were too many attractive things that made him ready to move.

"Good! Ling Wang Jian led 30,000 troops from the headquarters of Lintao Road to enter the Western Regions with the beggar Ma Yin Department, and ordered Hexi to pacify Fan Zhong and send local officials to there. Expel the Tatar forces in Gaochang and rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate. ”

With the consolidation of Hexi Road and Xixia Road, Lintao Road has long become inland, and it is no longer meaningful to station a large army.

"Balshu, don't worry, I will take care of your family and keep you prosperous and rich. The people of Gaochang will be treated kindly, just like my Chinese people. ”

The Western Regions, the homeland of China, is time to return to the rule of the Great Song Dynasty.

Where Zhao Hongxing was, he really wanted to go to the map of China behind him, draw a circle on the location of the Western Regions, and finally hold back.

The Western Regions is still the sphere of influence of Mongolia, and it is better not to be impulsive until it is completely recaptured.

"Your Majesty, Gaochang is two thousand miles away from Hexi, and I am afraid that it is necessary to establish post stations along the way and immigrate to the real border in order to achieve long-term peace and stability."

The father and son of Balshu retreated, and the prime minister was really virtuous, and he said quietly.

The Western Regions are vast, but they are too far away from the Central Plains. If you want to control, without the people of the Han family, relying on the army alone is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Not long after going out, the envoy of Dali came in, it was Gao Xiang who worshiped on New Year's Day, and there was a monk in a magic robe.

"It seems that Sichuan is going to be in charge again!"

Zhao Hong nodded, he stood up, came to the wall, and looked at the map on the wall.

"The immigrants are on the real side, the fields are reclaimed, and this Silk Road on land should also be restored."

Sichuan immigrants to the Western Regions, Jinghu and Jiangnan immigrants to the two rivers, a large-scale immigration to the Western Regions, I am afraid that it is about to start.

These Han hometowns, when they come back, they can't be lost anymore.

"Your Majesty, Cao Youwen has come from Bianjing City for six hundred miles to expedite, Your Majesty, please take a look."

Dong Songchen came in to play, and his face couldn't hide his joy.

Zhao Hong took the military report, opened it, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Bianjing City has been taken!

Zhen Dexiu took the military report and read it with Zou Yinglong and others, and everyone's face changed.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on the recovery of Tokyo City! Congratulations to me for Song! ”

"Tokyo City is back! Congratulations to Your Majesty! For the Great Song Congratulations! ”

Outside the sword, it was suddenly rumored that the thistle was in the north, and the clothes were full of tears when I heard it for the first time.

The ministers bowed together, some had moist eyes, and some were in tears. Even when they heard that the Song army had recovered Lianghe and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, they had never been so excited.

"Ladies and gentlemen, rejoice! Congratulations! ”

Zhao Hong's heart was agitated, and he said with a red face.

Now that Bianjing City has been recovered, it is time for him to go north.

In the dark of night, there was a knock on the door, and Wan Yanchun, who frowned slightly, entered the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have captured Bianjing City, congratulations!"

Wan Yanchun sat down and said softly, I don't know whether it is joy or sadness.

"Princess, you're wrong! It is not that my Great Song Dynasty has captured Bianjing, but that your Jin Kingdom will open the city and submit to my Great Song Dynasty. But don't worry, my Great Song Dynasty Wang Shiqiu did not commit any crimes, and did not harm a single person in Bianjing. ”

Zhao Hong looked at the door, the door of the study had been closed, and there were only the two of them in the room.

"Your Majesty, if it weren't for your Great Song Dynasty officials and soldiers coming to the city, would Cui Li dare to do such a rebellious thing? Your Majesty, don't fool yourself! ”

Wan Yanchun was straightforward and couldn't help but say.

"Princess, you have to understand one thing, Bianjing City is the former capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was robbed by your Dajin Kingdom. It is only natural for the Song people to get back what they lost. ”

Seeing Yan Chun's eyes, Zhao Hong hurriedly said:

"Princess, it is useless to say more. Your Dajin Kingdom is about to die, and I don't want to shed a river of blood. You still have to think about it, how to persuade the Jin Emperor to return to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

I haven't seen him for many years, but I still can't change my temperament, it's hard and straight.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with the Queen Mother and the Empress?"

Wan Yanchun endured the anger in his heart, full of sourness.

Her Dajin Kingdom, the number of qi has indeed been exhausted.

"Princess, if they are Kaicheng and Shun, I will treat them well. But now that Cui Li is offering the city, I will not kill them, nor will I abuse them, they will be reduced to civilians and find their own way out. ”

is no different from ordinary people, which is already his biggest concession. Even so, he didn't know how to comfort the Taimiao.

"Then Emperor Dajin, what are you going to do with it?"

Wan Yanchun's heart was a lot calmer, and he continued to ask.

"Princess, I still say the same thing, for your sake, if the Golden Emperor is willing to submit, the Great Song Dynasty will treat him well. If he is unwilling to submit, the Great Song Dynasty will attack the city, and when the time comes, the jade will be burned, and he will be helpless. ”

"Your Majesty, let me go north together and persuade the Golden Emperor."

Wan Yanchun stood up, his expression gloomy, and he was about to leave.

"Princess, I will write a letter of my own handwriting, and you will take it with you when the time comes. It is better to persuade the Golden Emperor. Otherwise, I can't help it. The entire people of the Great Song Dynasty are looking at me. ”

Zhao Hong put his heart in his heart and said softly.

Wan Yanchun's thin body made him unconsciously full of love.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Yan Chunyang left, Zhao Hong looked at her back and was distracted, until Dong Songchen's report sounded, pulling him back to reality.

"Your Majesty, the lord of the country, they are here."

"Master Yue, Xuan Gong, Ge Gong, Cui Gong, why are you here?"

Zhao Hong nodded and motioned for everyone to sit down.

The Northern Expeditionary Army has recovered Lianghe and Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and these people are only here now, I'm afraid they are not idle.

"Your Majesty recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and returned Bianjing City to my Great Song Dynasty. I would like to go north with His Majesty, travel to Bianjing City, and then go to Yanjing and the Great Wall to enjoy the snow, relying on the past and the present, to comfort the wish of life. ”

Sure enough, the old fox Ge Hong's hair was white, and he said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Bianjing City is the former capital of my Great Song Dynasty, and today it was recovered by my Great Song Dynasty royal division.

Cui He, the former Sichuan envoy, was also smiling and gray-haired.

Xuan Xuan and the others smiled silently, obviously, the words of Ge Hong and Cui represented everyone's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, your mother-in-law and I want to take a few grandchildren to Bianjing City on a steamboat together. Then go to Yanjing City for a visit. If the sea and rivers freeze in winter, it will not be easy to go. ”

Zhao Hong's father-in-law, Zhou Jiacheng, nodded his head, his face full of wealth.

"Good, good! Then you can rest for a while, and go with me when the time comes. ”

Zhao Hong nodded again and again, his heart excited.

Since the death of his brother-in-law Zhou An, the Zhou family has been depressed and unhappy, and it is difficult to see a happy face, it is time to get out of the haze and look forward.

As for Ge Hongcui and others, every Song person has a Tokyo dream in their hearts. It's time for them, the "people who have lost the country", to fulfill their long-cherished wishes.
