Yelu Chun, the king of Qin and Jin who was close to the age of sixtieth, could not afford to be ill, although the medical officer who accompanied the army tried his best, but he only survived for half a day and died in the army, before he died, he took Yelu Dashi's hand, and told him to take away the warriors of the southern tribes, and also entrusted his wife and children to all the families.

Yelu Dashi tearfully agreed, and while he began to arrange the retreat, he also asked his henchmen to secretly report to all parties, so that important people and their families could flee north quickly.

Five days later, the Liao army also slowly set off and retreated to the north in batches.

Zhao Bufan was very puzzled at first, afraid that it was Yelu Dashi's plan, so he didn't dare to act rashly, until he got the news many days later and knew the current situation, and then he understood that Yelu Dashi was forced to flee north.

At this time, he had the opportunity to make an emergency deployment, taking advantage of the great opportunity of the other party dragging his children and mother, to deal a huge blow to the main force of the Liao State retreating north, but after careful consideration, he chose to give up and let them flee north safely.

One is that Liao's comprehensive northward retreat is enough for the Great Song Dynasty to successfully recover the Youyun region, and there is no need for the soldiers to sacrifice, and the other is that he feels that after seizing the Youyun region, the Liao State is no longer the biggest enemy, and the biggest threat has turned to the Jin State, so he intends to let the Liao State preserve its strength as much as possible, which is also a containment of the Jin State.

After more than a month, the soldiers and horses of the Three Routes of the Great Song Dynasty began to carry out a comprehensive attack on the Youyun region, especially Liu Yanqing of the Middle Route Army was the most active.

On the second day of the eighth month, the Jin soldiers fought to the Mandarin Duck in Fengshengzhou of the Liao State, and the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi fled west again and went to Baishuiluo.

At this time, Yelu Dashi, who retreated to Juyong Pass, was forced to helplessly, did not wait for more people, and decisively transferred to the northwest of Liao, and then crossed the Great Wall, and went to Baishuiluo to meet Yelu Yanxi, and at this time there were only more than 100,000 people beside him, most of whom were Khitans, and the other part were close tribes of Khitans.

More Han Chinese soldiers and tribal warriors had almost all fled, surrendering to Zhao Bufan, who was following them with his troops.

On August 13, Zhang Jun, the general of the Eastern Route Army, led his troops to break through Wangyun County, which refused to surrender, which meant the successful end of the mighty Northern Expedition.

From Fengzhou in the Great Song Dynasty in the west, this section of the Great Wall in the east to the Bohai Sea has become the new border line of the Great Song Dynasty, the Youyun area of the Song people has been thinking about it for more than 100 years, and the Xijing and Nanjing of the Liao State have completely become history, Xijing only retains the title of Datong Mansion, and Nanjing Xijin Mansion is directly renamed Yanjing, and the Youyun area is also officially divided into Yanyun Road by Emperor Zhao Ji, and the military defense belongs to Zhao Bufan.

Zhao Bufan, who obtained the right to decide, then reorganized all the soldiers and horses on Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road, Hedong Road and Yanyun Road, except for the various prefectures on the border, the number of soldiers in each prefecture in the interior was reduced, and at the same time integrated and established five Liutun forbidden armies, namely the Liangshan Army, the Water Margin Army, the Shenwu Army, the Yingyang Army and the Tiger Wing Army.

The military system was changed to 100 people per capital, five for one commander, five for one army, and two armies for one box, that is to say, one box was changed to 5,000 people, and the establishment of the box was added to the post of commander, in charge of a soldier and horse, and the actual number of each department was not the same.

The Liangshan Army did not count the logistics departments, and the main battle strength was expanded to 62,000 people, the Five Tiger Cavalry 25,000 people, the Fifth Army infantry 25,000 people, and the Chinese Army 12,000 people, the strength of the army was doubled, and the generals at all levels were promoted accordingly, stationed in Yanjing City, as a mobile force in northern Xinjiang, responsible for responding to and supporting all parties in wartime.

The Water Margin Army of 50,000 people, except for the 12,000 people of the Chinese Army, the rest is the same as the Liangshan Army, stationed on the northern border of Yanjing Mansion and assuming the heavy responsibility of garrisoning Yanjing Mansion.

The Shenwu army has 20,000 people, and there are four compartments under its jurisdiction, all of which are temporarily replaced by the young Yue Fei, and are stationed at the Pingzhou boundary in the east of Yanjing Mansion.

The Eagle Yang army of 40,000 people, under the jurisdiction of eight compartments, are under the control of the meritorious Wu Jie, stationed in the middle of Yanjing Mansion and Datong Mansion Fengshengzhou boundary, because Fengshengzhou is divided into two by the Great Wall, the Great Song Dynasty now only takes a small part of the area south of the Great Wall, so Zhao Bufan only arranged 40,000 people to garrison.

The Tiger Wing Army has 50,000 people, with ten compartments under its jurisdiction, all of which are temporarily replaced by Han Shizhong and stationed in Datong Mansion.

As for Shuozhou, which is located in the southwest of Datong Mansion, although it also belongs to Yanyun Road, because it is next to Fengzhou and Linzhou, which have been guarded by the Zhejia army for generations, it is handed over to the Zhejia generals to garrison, and even the Zhizhou of Shuozhou is also served by the Zhejia generals, which is the arrangement appointed by Emperor Zhao Ji, and Zhao Bufan did not care much.

In this way, the main battle strength of the five forbidden armies totaled more than 170,000 people, plus a large number of soldiers in the border prefectures, the total number was about 300,000, plus the Zhejia army located between northern Xinjiang and western Xinjiang, as a standing defensive force is not weak, and these soldiers and horses are still selected by Zhao Bufan from the outstanding troops, and the combat power is very strong.

In addition, he also assigned many soldiers who had experienced the vicious battle of Zhuozhou to various departments and promoted them to become middle and low-level officers.

These soldiers have been tested in the Battle of Zhuozhou, and they have followed him to show their confidence, and this time they are assigned to all departments of the Northern Army, in order to bring their condensed iron-blooded spirit and tenacious qualities to the officers and men of all departments, influence every soldier in daily training, and lay the foundation for building the Northern Army into an iron army.

As for Yang Weizhong and Zhai Xing and other generals, Zhao Bufan did not stay, but just asked them to return to the Western Xinjiang with the rest of the generals, although these generals are outstanding, but their relationship in the DPRK is also very complicated, and there are many vices from the Western Army.

Zhao Bufan didn't want them to affect the soldiers of the Northern Army, and he was more inclined to promote and train young generals, so he let them all return to the Western Army.

However, in order to ensure that these young generals in northern Xinjiang would not lack control, he also asked the imperial court to set up a Xuanfu Mansion on Yanyun Road, and Zhi Yanzhi concurrently served as the Xuanfu envoy, who was in charge of the defense of northern Xinjiang and governed the five Liutun forbidden armies.

Now that he has recovered the Youyun region and completed the great cause that the Great Song Dynasty has not been able to complete for more than a hundred years, he is in the limelight, and his prestige is unmatched, no one dares to raise objections in the court, and all forces are avoiding his edge, so his twists and turns are basically accepted.

In mid-September, the Great Song Dynasty was still immersed in the atmosphere of the whole country's joy, and the imperial court was still carrying out the aftermath of the funeral.

Yelu Dashi, who couldn't bear it, completely turned his back on the Liao State, led the tribesmen who were willing to follow him to leave, and slowly migrated to the farther west, most of the Khitans and other tribes who refused to leave surrendered to the Jin State, and many chose to go south to the Song Dynasty and defect to their princess Yelu Yu Liyan, and respected Zhao Bufan as the general of the divine wolf, expressing their submission to him.

Zhao Bufan took them in and allowed them to move into the Great Wall, but declared that they must abide by the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and the tribes who did not want to move inward to accept agricultural life were arranged to live outside the Great Wall on the border of Datongfu and Shuozhou, and the vast grasslands of Dongshengzhou and the eastern part of the Liao State were assigned to them.

These ethnic groups were required to pay a small tax according to the number of the population, supply a certain number of war horses, obey the conscription of the Xuanfu government, set the number of soldiers according to the size of the tribe, and recognized the land as the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, while the Great Song gave them shelter, supported their survival and development, and helped them resist foreign invasions.

At this time, no one did not admire Zhao Bufan's earlier treatment of Yelu Yu Liyan, the Great Song Dynasty not only suddenly had tens of thousands of grassland cavalry, but also had a natural source of war horses, if the Great Song Dynasty supported them well, they would definitely be able to cultivate more war horses, making up for the congenital disadvantage of the Great Song Dynasty not having a stable source of war horses.

Everything is going in a good direction.

On the seventh day of November, the southern part of Yanjing City began to build the Northern Expedition Monument, Zhao Bufan rushed to the scene with thousands of generals, toasted three glasses of water and wine, kowtowed three times, read out the eulogy he wrote with his own hand, and personally bid farewell to the last journey of the fallen soldiers.

The ceremony lasted for half a day, and it was also a successful end to the Northern Expedition.

When he returned to Yanjing in the evening, Zhao Bufan set up a big banquet to reward the soldiers of the Liangshan Army, and he drank a lot of wine in a good mood.

When the dinner party reached its climax, he was already drunk and slightly drunk.

Taking advantage of the high spirits, he suddenly waved off the artists who were performing the show, walked to the middle of the venue with a wine glass, his eyes swept over the high-level generals of the Liangshan Army around him, and said drunkenly with a smile: "Many of you used to be scumbags and scum, you have been bandits, you have bullied the good, and you have done all kinds of things that hurt nature and reason, and many of you are not good things......

The audience was silent for an instant, and all the soldiers looked at him who was crooked and staggered, and their faces changed.

Gao Chong, who was drinking happily, hurriedly went up to support him, and interrupted urgently: "The prince is drunk, it is better to go and rest!"

"Oh, I'm ...... I'm not drunk, these words must be said!"

Zhao Bufan's tongue was a little knotted, pushed away Gao Chong, ignored his obstruction, looked at the generals again and continued: "I didn't talk nonsense, many of you used to be scumbags, and you should be the scourge of a thousand cuts!"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and pointed at many people one by one.

"You Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing used to be cheap goods in black shops, pit passers-by, make human meat buns, and their evil deeds are outrageous!

You are a bully before, bullying others, collecting tolls and oppressing the people!

You mixed with the river dragon Li Jun, you used to be a smuggler on the Xunyang River, and it was common for you to seek money and kill people!

You are a black-hearted captain in the past, killing people who cross the river, relying on martial arts to rob money, all of which are very bad......"

As Zhao Bufan pointed out one name after another, the faces of all the generals were ugly, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to face the generals in the army, and many generals such as Lin Chong were very anxious, but they were helpless, watching Zhao Bufan's words that seemed to be drunk and gaffe.

After a long time, when Zhao Bufan pointed out dozens of people one after another, and the audience fell silent, he suddenly changed his voice, raised the wine glass in his hand and said sharply: "But now, you have washed away the sins of the past, you have recovered the clouds, and defended the Great Song Dynasty with your life, from today on, you will be real heroes, not heroes in the green forest, but heroes in the eyes of the country and the people, you are all heroes, your name will be recorded in history, and you will be praised through the ages!"

Now that you have been knighted, you should make persistent efforts in the future, use your skills to repay the past sins, create more brilliance for yourself, and compose your own heroic stories, so that the people and future generations will always remember you, and tell everyone that your past deeds have become the past, and you are already soldiers, an invincible iron army, and an iron army that will remain famous in history!"

When the words fell, everyone's mood was agitated, and their eyes were moist.

Zhao Bufan laughed out loud and drank the wine in the cup suddenly.

"This glass of wine is for all brothers, for all of you who are really heroes!!"

The generals got up suddenly, and they didn't know who spoke first, but they roared in unison: "Respect the grace of the prince's recreation!!!"
