Chapter Seventy-Eight: Fight to Fame

The battle with Tong Guan was different from the past, and it was the only battle that was defeated in the imperial court extermination war. After this battle, Tong Guan was completely defeated and had no temper, and the army of more than 100,000 was beaten by Pang He's army of 50,000 and fled. After returning to the capital, Tong Guan didn't leave home for a few days, and even lay in bed for two days, thinking about why he was defeated, and he was so embarrassed to lose. I once thought that I had boasted about Haikou, but now I don't have the face to meet people.

Cai Jing knew that Tong Guan had fought such a defeated battle, and knew how powerful Pang He was, and after Tong Guan returned to Beijing, he immediately prepared a gift to visit, and saw Tong Guan lying on the bed, not even his soul could be seen on his face, thinking about how big a blow this hit Tong Guan was.

And Song Huizong's mood is different. Song Huizong Zhao Ji was Pang He's friend, of course, he didn't want Pang He to have any three strengths and two shortcomings, he had been nervous since Tong Guan led the troops to go on the expedition, he felt that Pang He might not be able to defeat the army of more than 100,000, I was afraid that something would happen, so he was worried at first, until he received the news that Tong Guan had lost the battle, and then his heart was put down. Because this shows that Pang He is also safe, and his appreciation for Pang He is getting stronger and stronger. thinks that Pang He is indeed a rare talent, not only strong in martial arts, but also knows the art of war and strategy, and can defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court with 50,000 soldiers and horses, I have to show that Pang He's ability is beyond the reach of ordinary people. At the same time, Zhao Ji is also worried about whether Cai Jing will make the next move, because Cai Jing will not give up. Then, when he thought of his promise to Pang He to be a good emperor, he felt more guilty in his heart, feeling that he owed Pang He and was sorry for the people of the world.

Pang He won the battle, and after returning to Huaiyin, Huangfu Yinghua took the people of Huaiyin City to welcome the victors who returned triumphantly. Pang He rode on a horse and told the people of Huaiyin City as a victor that as long as I Pang He was there, then no one would want to attack Huaiyin City.

After returning to Huaiyin City, Pang He began to reward meritorious deeds, among which senior brother Lin Chong was the first-class merit, Fang Jie was the second-class merit, and the rest of the generals were third-class merit. In addition, all the soldiers who participated in the war were rewarded, and those like Huangfu Yinghua, as an internal officer, contributed to the weight of grain and grass, which was naturally inevitable.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, under the reward of Pang He, the people of Huaiyin City have also enthusiastically signed up to join the army, joining the army, not only represents a considerable income, but also a glory, a glory, this is the people have been envious and admired by the heroes who have seen the triumphant return, the feeling of being worshipped, who does not want to have.

Victory is victory, Pang He was not carried away by the momentary victory, and now he defeated Tong Guan and Song Jiang's army, but it does not mean that they will not come. When they make a comeback, it will be more troops and stronger combat effectiveness. Now it's 100,000, and next time it could be 200,000, 300,000. When the time comes, we will face greater difficulties and greater challenges. Once Cai Jing is regarded as the biggest opponent, he will definitely use all his strength to attack Jiangnan, and when the time comes, it will become very difficult for him to gain a firm foothold in Huaiyin again.

After returning to Huaiyin City, Pang He's first thing to do was to comfort the family of the deceased, issue sufficient pensions to the family of the deceased, and then treat the wounded, invite the best doctors to treat the wounded, and provide the best protection for the wounded.

Next, Pang He's goal is also very clear, to strengthen the economic construction of Huaiyin City and the reserve of military strength. In terms of internal affairs, Pang He still entrusts Huangfu Yinghua, who has been busy with various political affairs before. Militarily, Pang He was mainly handed over to Zhu Wu, and Zhu Wu's ability was not only in the arrangement of troops, but also in military construction. Pang He also knew that after winning Tong Guan this time, he would get the support of many surrounding people and people who opposed the imperial court, and took this opportunity to publish a list of heroes and call on people with lofty ideals to come to Huaiyin to join his own forces.

Song Jiang, who returned to Liangshan, although he was not as bad as Tong Guan, was also somewhat embarrassed, and he was also glad that he was ready to retreat, otherwise the loss would definitely be more than 50,000 horses. Among these 50,000 horses, of course, most of them were the ones brought by Tong Guan from the capital, and they were basically wiped out. As for Song Jiang, although there are some losses, the losses are not very large, in order to retain his strength, Song Jiang can be said to have made full preparations. Of course, this is also indispensable Cai Jing's reprimand for him, but Song Jiang doesn't care much, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and Cai Jing is just writing a letter to criticize, if he really wants to embarrass himself, Cai Jing also has to weigh himself.

And the jade unicorn Lu Junyi still existed as the second leader of Liangshan, Chai Jin and Yan Qing returned to Liangshan and did not make any moves until they were sent to Huaiyin City by Song Jiang.

Chai Jin and Yan Qing, who returned to Huaiyin City, pleaded guilty to Pang He on the grounds that they were not doing well. As for Pang He, he definitely wouldn't blame the two of them, because Pang He's own goal had been achieved, and he wanted them to take Lu Junyi out of Liangshan, and Pang He didn't expect them to really finish what he had explained. However, if there is nothing to say, it will not be reasonable, so Pang He asked Chai Jin and Yan Qing to help Huangfu Yinghua develop the farmland, so that there can be a better and more bumper harvest in the autumn.

Fang La, who was far away in Hangzhou, also wrote a letter to express his appreciation as soon as he knew that Pang He defeated Tong Guan with more than 100,000 troops with 50,000 troops, and told Pang He that when the things in hand were done, he would go to Huaiyin City to visit Pang He, and would send a major surprise.

Time passed day by day, and Pang He and Song Jiang were waiting for their strength to slowly grow, and then they would fight each other. Cai Jing has also learned this lesson that he can't make a move easily, otherwise if he continues to lose like this, it will only be more unfavorable to himself. However, there is one person who is different, this person is Gao Yu, who believes that Tong Guan's defeat is nothing more than Pang He's luck. He fought with Pang He before, but Pang He was not his opponent at all, so he was forced out of the capital and reduced to becoming a thief. If he plays against Pang He, I believe he will be able to defeat Pang He. As a result, Cai Jing and Gao Yu, two people who originally had basically the same opinion, had a disagreement at this time. In the end, Cai Jing saw that Gao Yu insisted on fighting, so he could only let Gao Yu lead his troops to Huaiyin City.
