The ending of the Battle between Song and Yuan and Western Fujian shocked the world.

Even if we were optimistic about the new forces of the Song Dynasty before the war, the forces from both north and south, we would never have expected that the Yuan army, which had almost absolute superior forces, would be defeated by the Song army, and they would be defeated in a straightforward manner on the front battlefield.

Halfway through this extraordinary battle, the Yuan army suffered a crushing defeat. The Hebi Red Army and the Qiexue Army suffered unprecedented massacres, and even the captain Yesudier of 10,000 people died in battle, the Yuan court, who received the report from Boyantang, had a premonition that this battle might be defeated. However, even so, the entire Yuan court never expected that this army of nearly 200,000 elite troops gathered in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River would eventually be destroyed!

Finally, Zhao Lie and his subordinates who were very confident in this battle, believed that the final victory of this war must belong to them, and even made plans to annihilate most of the Yuan army or even the Yuan army. Even so, the final result was unbelievable for them - not only did they wipe out nearly 200,000 troops, but even the two whale-level "big fish" of the Prime Minister Boyan and Deputy General Suodu, could not escape.

This was a happy, thorough, and complete victory! It was an unprecedented victory in the Song and Yuan dynasties for nearly a century!

The Battle of Western Fujian completely reversed the situation between the Song army and the two countries. Although the Song army was strong before, it was only a hard walnut at most. It could blow away a few teeth of the Yuan court, making it feel pain and powerful, but it was still far from being fatal. However, the heavy damage caused to the Yuan court by the Battle of Western Fujian was not as simple as a few teeth. It almost punched the Meng Yuan with a heavy punch, which made the Meng Yuan feel heart-wrenching, his liver and intestines twitch, and his body curled up. From then on, the heroic spirit will no longer be...

As hundreds of thousands of elite troops in the south of the Yangtze River were swept away, the entire southern army of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty appeared in a vacuum. Although Fan Wenhu, Liu Chen and other Han generals had hundreds of thousands of troops, which seemed huge, they could not even splash the troops in the vast vast area south. As for letting them join forces to resist Song... these two generals were afraid that they would be scared to death at this moment, and Ren Yuanting would not do anything to force and tempt them to live or die. You should know that "Song traitors" like them defected to the Mongolian Yuan to live and be rich for a long time rather than to die. If the Mongolian Yuan was forced to force them, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would not rebel against the Yuan again like they did when they rebel against Song.

As for another well-rooted army arranged by the Yuan court in the south, the 100,000 troops of King Tuohuan, Zhennan, were now deeply trapped in the mud of Annan and difficult to escape, let alone mobilizing troops to fight the Song army.

In desperation, in October of the first year of Xingyan in the Song Dynasty, two months after the end of the Battle of Western Fujian, the Yuan court ordered Fan Wenhu and Liu Chen to give up Jiangsu and Zhejiang, retreat to the Yangtze River, and hand over the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, Jiangxi provinces and Huguang provinces to the Song Dynasty. In other words, except that the land of Sichuan and Shaanxi was still in the hands of the Yuan court, the territory of the Song and Yuan countries almost returned to the "honeymoon period" period when the two countries jointly destroyed the Jin Dynasty nearly a hundred years ago.

In just one battle, half of the country was regained from the Mongolian Yuan. The power of the Song army's heavy punch finally appeared. The Yuan court, whose "lower body" was damaged, began to curl up greatly. When the troops were at the city and Lin'an surrendered, the heroic spirit of "the first peak of Wushan" had passed away with Bo Yan's head rolling down from dust.

In contrast to the heavy losses of the Mongolian Yuan, after the Battle of Western Fujian, the Song army reaped heavy fruits. Various military funds such as weapons, swords, armor, bows, crossbows, arrows, food and fodder were piled up like mountains, and there were more than one mountain, but more than a dozen!

The prisoners captured more than 70,000 Yuan soldiers, including the new affiliated army and the Han army, and there were nearly 10,000 Mongolian soldiers and seismic soldiers. In the past, the Song and Yuan dynasties had not been without victory or captives, but it was extremely rare to capture Mongolian soldiers. Nearly 10,000... Such a number was unprecedented, and they were shocked.

The greater gain was the capture of a large number of high-quality war horses from the Yuan army. After the end of the day, nearly 6,000 war horses were left behind (the elite Mongolian soldiers were the norm for one horse, one horse was the norm), and when Boyan fled into the Wuyi Mountains, he threw down nearly 5,000 war horses. The sum of these two items alone exceeded 10,000, not to mention the number of war horses captured after encircling and annihilation of the main force of the Yuan army reached a terrifying number. When the statistics were made on the same day, all the Song generals who heard this number were breathing rapidly, their eyes were shining, and their foreheads were dizzy... Zhang Shijie, the veteran, almost suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage.

It is no wonder that the generals are so out of control. It is really because the entire Southern Song Dynasty has survived. The Song army is extremely short of horses. Not to mention such good horses, even bad horses are rare in the eyes of the Song army soldiers. The large amount of war horses has led to the rapid expansion of Beiwei Army, and in a very short period of time, it has reached a terrifying number of tens of thousands of cavalry.

In fact, there are not many soldiers of the Song army who can ride horses and have certain cavalry skills. What they lack is just war horses. Now that this lack is filled, it will naturally expand rapidly and its strength will increase greatly. This also caused the total strength of the Dragon Que Army to exceed 20,000, and its strength will soar.

In September, after receiving the order from Song Lord Zhao Lie, Zhang Shijie and Zhang Ba led the Beiwei Army with the skyrocketing strength to pursue Li Heng. This pursuit took thousands of miles, from Minguang to Jiangxi, from Jiangxi to Huguang.

Finally, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, around Bailuji, Jiangxia, Li Heng, who had run out of food and arrows, had only a thousand cavalry left... After a day of bloody battle, after paying the same heavy losses, the Beiwei Army wiped out Li Heng's thousand cavalry and returned with a behead.

At the same time, Su Liuyi, his son and Ma Nanbao, who retreated to Xiangshan, also took advantage of the opportunity to recover the Guangnan prefectures and counties that were destroyed by Li Heng and the whole world, stabilized the rear and opened up the land grain route again.

Just as the situation was so good, in November of the first year of Xingyan, the Song army recovered its combat power after several months of rest and recuperation. The surrendered army of more than 70,000 yuan eliminated the weak and strong, and obtained 30,000 troops and fully digested and absorbed it. At this time, the main Longque Army (Imperial Army) had a 30,000 troops, and the wing army had the best military strength, with 50,000 troops selected. The entire Northern Expedition Army had a total of 80,000, which was unprecedentedly powerful.

Since then, since the Northern Expedition vowed to the Northern Expedition in April, the strategic purpose of the Northern Expedition has been achieved and exceeded in just half a year, and the Northern Expedition has been successfully won in the military sense.

At this time, as long as Song Lord Zhao Lie leads his army to Lin'an and regain his journey, it means a successful victory in the Northern Expedition in the political sense.

Lin'an, since the second year of Deyou, Boyan captured Empress Dowager Quan and returned to the north, this place has become the location of Fan Wenhu, the governor of Liangzhe University, namely the governor of Liangzhe University. Now the roles are in exchange, Fan Wenhu has become a rabbit, but the Song army is like a lion and a tiger. Fan Wenhu is afraid of Song Ruhu. Although she is reluctant to leave her nest that she has been operating for many years, she cannot beat her and is unwilling to surrender. After receiving the order to transfer the Yuan court, she hesitates for a long time, and finally decided to follow the instructions of the Yuan court and temporarily avoid the edge of the Yangtze River.

However, Fan Wenhu was obviously not a loyal minister or a virtuous person, both for the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty. Before leaving, he secretly sent his nephews to contact the Chaozhou, taking advantage of his local tyrants to maximize his interests.

In the middle of November of the first year of Xingyan, amid the fanatical cheers of military and civilians in Fujian and Guangxi, and with the anticipation of countless gentry and people in Jiangnan, Song lord Zhao Lie led all civil and military officials in the court, 80,000 elite cavalry and infantry, and advanced from the sea and land to the north to recover lost territory and advance to Lin'an.
