The journey back was relaxed and pleasant, and the soldiers were very happy, marching and singing. Along the way, there was constant laughter and joy, which was even happier than the New Year.

This operation wiped out eight thousand Liao troops, robbed annual monies, and seized a large amount of spoils. Although this made the soldiers happy, it was not the one that made the soldiers most happy. What made the soldiers most happy was that the Converted Army did not take advantage of this battle, and it was completely head-on, overwhelmingly overwhelming the Liao army. The Liao army had no power to fight back in front of the Converted Army.

The Pishi Army is the best explanation for this point. Although the number of Pishi Army is not large, if other Song troops fight, it will take at least five thousand, and at most ten thousand to deal with it. It is more likely that the dispatch of 10,000 Song troops may not be able to deal with it. The possibility of the Song army defeating the Pishi Army is very high. This kind of thing has happened in the hundreds of years of Song and Liao wars.

Even elite troops like the Pishi Army did not have the power to fight back when they encountered the Converted Army. A total of 1,000 people were destroyed just before the Converted Army formation. This is the best proof of the Converted Army's strong combat power.

With such strong combat power, the Converted Army will have many victories in the future, one after another, and there will be no problem. The time to make achievements and be proud is coming. Is there anything more hopeful and joyful than this?

The biggest gain of this battle is not the harvest of riches, nor the robbery of the year, but the momentum, majesty, and hope!

Zheng Tai walked to Wu Ji on a horse and said with a smile: "Commander of Wu Du, we must report the victory to the official family and make the official family happy! If the official family knows this, they will definitely be happy."

That is inevitable. Song Shenzong implemented reforms in order to make the Song Dynasty powerful, defeat the Liao Kingdom, destroy the Western Xia, and unify China. Unfortunately, after working hard for several years, he failed and did not even see hope. Now, what the Convert Army gave him is not victory, but hope, and hope to unify the country.

It can be imagined that if Emperor Shenzong of Song destroyed the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia, pacified Liaodong, marched into the desert, and recovered the Western Regions, Vietnam, and Nanzhao, his achievements would surpass Emperor Taizu of Song and would become Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang of Song Dynasty. How joyful this is!

"Okay! Report the victory to the official family immediately." Wu Ji understood Zheng Tai's thoughts and immediately agreed. Zheng Tai wrote a good news and sent someone to Bianjing.

It took only one day for the return of the soldiers to return, but it took only half a day for the soldiers to arrive.

As soon as he arrived to return, he welcomed the excited people. The news of victory was like a bird with wings, which spread very quickly. Before Wu Ji and the others returned to return, they knew it. This surrounded him, and it was necessary to say that the cheers went straight to the sky, shaking the ground trembled.

What makes the people happy is not the capture, but hope. They also see the hope of defeating the Liao army. The Liao Kingdom suppressed the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the people on the border suffered for hundreds of years and slaughtered the Liao Kingdom for hundreds of years. The people are always looking forward to avenging revenge, but they are powerless, and the Song Dynasty does not have this strength.

Now that the Converted Army has such strong combat power, there is even more hope for revenge. Who can be unhappy?

After a long time, the excited people calmed down. Wu Ji ordered the soldiers who died in Zhan Yu and distributed the seized gold and silver to the soldiers. Zhan Yu and the soldiers who lost their combat power received the most and the gold and silver under them were distributed. As for the annual monies, they could not be moved, and they had to wait for the order of Song Shenzong.

The next time was to recruit soldiers and supplement the convertible army. In this battle, more than 400 injuries were damaged and needed to be replenished, but only the move was suddenly done. This move was not exhausted. As soon as the news came out, the responders lined up in long strips, which were more than modern job seekers and the competition was even more fierce.

These Ding Zhuang Yingmo's words were only one sentence: "The Converted Army is so capable of fighting. If I don't come to Yingmo, where else can I go?"

After adding soldiers, the next step is to summarize and train, and the days pass by day.

Bian Jing, Jiying Hall. Song Shenzong, Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gong were discussing state affairs.

"My dear friends, how can you build a large army that can conquer and fight?" Song Shenzong looked at the three of them and began to ask for advice: "Although this dynasty does not want to say it, I have to say that the Song Dynasty did not unify China. Khitan, Western Xia, Western Regions, Nanzhao, and Jiaozhi are foreign places, and these places were from China far away from the Qin and Han Dynasties. Since the demise of the previous dynasty, China has been divided into pieces, foreign races have split the ground, and the kings are the strongest ones are the Khitan and Xixia. My ambition is to work hard to govern, consolidate the army and practice martial arts, and unify China."

"The official family is wise!"

Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing and Lu Gong were busy praising each other.

Such a grand ceremony is very exciting. If you can participate in it, it will be a great opportunity in life, you will make achievements and be famous in history. Even Mr. Lu is full of excitement and praise it very sincerely.

"Don't praise!" Song Shenzong waved his right hand to stop the three of them from praising them again, frowned, and said, "To fulfill this ambition, I must build an army that can conquer and fight well in order to wipe out the Khitan, Xixia and unify China."

"Officials, I believe that the Song Dynasty cultivated benevolence and virtue, educated all directions, and the world was determined..." Mr. Lu was busy offering advice and showed off his verbal skills, so he wanted to learn the way of the saint and the words of the Master.

However, Song Shenzong didn't give him a chance at all. He only heard Song Shenzong shouting angrily: "Fart! You are farting! Mr. Lu, you are still a minister in the court. My loyal minister actually said such a stinky bullshit!"

Song Shenzong came out several words of farts in a row, and his roar was like thunder, which made Lu Gong stunned. As soon as the Master said, the saints retracted their stomachs, blushed and did not dare to say anything.

Since ancient times, emperors have spoken without dirty words. They have cursed a few words of nonsense like Song Shenzong, which is a strange thing throughout the ages. However, they scolded Song Shenzong with righteousness and made people unable to arouse their accusations.

"You scholars know the way of the saints and the Master's words, nonsense! The government of benevolence and virtue, to determine the world with benevolence, is simply to mislead people." Song Shenzong was furious: "When Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms, there was a saying that he would determine the world with strength and benevolence. To determine the world with benevolence, you nerds who only know how to read books are bullshit. After hundreds of years, the world has become more chaotic and weaker, and it is not as effective as a large army. Qin Shihuang sent his decree to the east, and the Qin army advanced eastward and destroyed the six kingdoms in ten years. This is more applicable than the verbal disputes between you nerds!"

"The government and the tyrannical Qin government will soon perish..." Song Shenzong's words subverted the root of scholars. Although Lu Gongzhu was very scared, he was not convinced and wanted to argue.

"Stop it! Even if the Qin Dynasty perishes, Qin Shihuang will unify China. You cannot erase this anyway!" Song Shenzong did not argue with him and said loudly: "When Han Wu defeated the Huns, the ministers in the court had many pedantic words. Do they need to be more benevolent and righteous, and educate the Huns. Is it useful? The Han Dynasty even used humiliating strategies for marriage. The more they marry, the more powerful the Huns. Are you scholars' verbal use? It's better to use the Han army. Under the leadership of Wei Huo, they scattered across the desert. The Huns now only exist in historical books."

After a brief pause, my voice turned high and said, "Since I ascended the throne, I have always believed that the way of a saint can save the world and unify China. The Song Dynasty's favorable experience for scholars was the strongest in all dynasties, far exceeding that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. However, after these years of failure, I have become more and more aware that you scholars will only mislead people and only talk nonsense. For the Khitan and Western Xia, only the army is useful. Lu Gong, you said, if I sent you to Liao Kingdom and ask you to surrender, can you do it? If you can do it, I will not be the emperor and let you be the emperor, how dare you accept it?"

This was too serious. Mr. Lu kept kowtowing and burst into tears, looking pitiful: "Officials, I must not dare to do this, and I must not dare to have such a heart."

"I'm asking if you can say that you will surrender to the Liao Kingdom. Don't go far. You don't want to be an emperor. You are loyal. I will be the prince. I will be nine thousand years old. I am alone and above thousands of people. Do you dare to make such a wonderful achievement?" Song Shenzong raised his eyebrows and took a urgent step.

"Officials and ministers are not talented and knowledgeable, so they dare not take on this great task." Lu Gongyao was extremely reluctant to admit it, but he had to admit that he could not fulfill such a heavy task.

"Look, this is the face of you scholars. It is very wise to speak, but it is a hindrance to do it. You dare not take it with important tasks. Mr. Lu said, "You go and tell you, those who only know how to talk, that I want to consolidate the military and martial arts, and put away your nonsense. If you can't do it, I will send you to Liao Kingdom." Song Shenzong then came to the point.

Since the last victory in Xiongzhou, the power of the opposition has been weakened, but it is far from enough. Some people are still swaying and opposing the new law. Song Shenzong has long been preparing to deal with these people. Only by removing these people can they implement the new law and consolidate the army and martial arts. This time, Lu Gong fell into a trap himself, so how could Song Shenzong not seize the opportunity?

Sent to Liao Kingdom and face a group of tigers and wolves, wouldn’t he be shameless? Lu Gong was extremely reluctant, but he did not dare to refuse: “I follow the order! I follow the order!”

"Over the years, I really believe that it is impossible to fulfill my ambition without a large army that can conquer and fight well!" Song Shenzong glanced at Lu Gong who was kneeling on the ground, ignored it, and then said, "But it is not easy to build an elite army. I have been wondering why the same China was so powerful during the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties. The Han Dynasty had a bold statement that "those who violated the strong Han will be punished even if they are far away." No matter where the enemy is, as long as you invade the strong Han, you will be punished. Not to mention the previous dynasty, a Tang army swept the world and defeated all countries. All countries came to the court, and the world was thundered! If there was such an army in the Song Dynasty, why worry about the Liao Kingdom not being destroyed and the Western Xia not being destroyed?"

After a brief pause, he said: "I have been thinking about the Battle of Xiongzhou, and gave me a clear statement that it is better to have a big attack on the army. Therefore, I am ready to build an elite army. But how should this army be built? How to restore the combat power of the Han and Tang dynasties?"

"Report to the official family and return to the military newspaper!" At this moment, Shao Jiu quickly stepped in and submitted it to the military newspaper.
