Chapter 127 Great Victory

The unknown wild flowers bloomed secretly, and the wind blowing on their faces did not have a chill anymore, and spring came just like that.

Xu Ping read the sacrificial text and burned it in front of the monument. He stood quietly for a while. Several hills nearby were densely packed with newly erected graves, buried with the Dangxiang soldiers who died in this battle. The heart of kindness and the method of thunder are never opposite. In fact, without a heart of kindness, there may be only violence and majesty.

Xu Ping did not do it for others to see when collecting and killing people, but felt that he should do it from the bottom of his heart. He hoped to give the troops he brought out a character, a courageous and invincible characteristic that was sublimated based on a sense of responsibility, rather than just fighting and killing. The king's army should have the style of the king's army, and cannot be like the barbarians and only traveling with tigers and wolves.

He raised his head and turned around. Xu Ping said to Tan Hu on the side: "Okano Rik comes over."

Tan Hu promised that in a short while, he led his soldiers to take Ye Liyu to Xu Ping.

Xu Ping looked at Duo Baoqing, who was offering sacrifices to the same place, and then looked at Yeli Yuqiu, and said, "Before burning the city, I will tell you clearly that as long as you abandon the stick, I will ensure that your people and horses in the city are safe and sound, and that they have no worries about food and clothing. What's the result? Not only did you not surrender yourself, but after returning to the city, you also falsely spread my words, saying that the soldiers and horses in Zhuoluo City are not allowed to surrender. Yeli Yuqiu, most of the tragic disaster that burned thousands of people this time will be counted on you."

Yeli Yuqiu's expressionless face, and said in a deep voice: "Today I am a prisoner under your ranks, and it is up to you no matter what you say. However, you always release the fire, and I will be burned in the city!"

"As the commander of a single army, you should be polite to the soldiers. If you do not surrender to Zhuoluo City, then I will definitely choose a way to destroy the city by hurting the soldiers of our headquarters. It is imperative to pile up firewood and burn the city. I have set fire well. Now, I still want to say that the fire is just right! And you are deceiving the people and the people even though you know that the whole city is about to perish."

Seeing that Ye Li Yuqiu was dark and stopped talking, Xu Ping said: "You have a respectful position in Dangxiang. Now that you are captured, I can only send someone to take you to the capital and deal with it by the court. You cannot take your life here. I have to learn from the ancients, and I will use the head to replace the head and the souls of the dead underground. Come, I went to Ye Li Ren and met his hair and beard to pay tribute to the dead underground!"

Tan Hu Yingnuo brought two soldiers up and held Ye Lirenyu down. His own soldiers took action, cut off Ye Liyuqi's hair, and burned it before the confession. Baoqing saw it, and he felt mixed feelings.

The Dangxiang people who died in this battle brought the bodies of the dead on their own side. Xu Ping ordered his return to the army. After crossing the Yellow River, he still abandoned Lanzhou City and refused to defend it. The entire army returned to Yuzhong and Dingxi City to maintain the pre-war situation.

In the battle between Zhuoluo and Nan, the Dangxiang Army was defeated on the entire line, and its contact with the Hehuang Fan tribe on the eastern line was interrupted. If you want to enter Hehuang again, you can only go to Yak City from Hexi. Yak City was the location of Xuanwei Army in the Tang Dynasty, also known as Xuanwei City, and has a great relationship with Sangyi Army. However, now Xu Ping has no time to look west and wants to fight the Xishou Military Supervisory Office east of Huizhou and compete with the Dangxiang Army for the gourd passage.

The ones who benefited the most from this battle were the first, the Qing Tang Dynasty's Yeluo. Without Dangxiang's support, he was no longer so difficult for Zongge and Miaochuan coalition forces, and the situation in the Hehuang area changed from this. Second, the Shazhou, Guazhou, Suzhou, Ganzhou and Liangzhou in the Hexi region did not occupy it for a long time and the rule was not stable. The defeat in Zhuoluo and Nan may cause turmoil there.

On February 21st, on Bingwu, the solar eclipse was changed to "Kangding" to respond to the changes in nature. On the same day, Deyi was demoted and the soldiers and civilians from Shaanxi were appeased. On the same day, Fu Bi of the Censorate wrote a letter to abolish the ban on speaking out for the off-duty speech after Fan Zhongyan was demoted.

Zhao Zhen returned to the palace and felt exhausted both physically and mentally. After the battle at Sanchuankou, people were in a state of trouble. Because Huang Dehe accused Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun of surrendering to the enemy, he received the support of the eunuchs inside and outside the court. The case was delayed and the government and the people were discussing it.

The battle of Sanchuankou was not about how much the losses were. The most important thing was to defeat the most elite imperial guards, and they lost two generals of the army at one time, which made the court lose their confidence in the imperial guards. Yuan Hao led his troops to the city of Yanzhou, and the front line was pushed to the hinterland of the Song territory, which made the people on the west road uneasy. The two combined, Zhao Zhen felt great pressure.

In addition to court clothes, changing into casual clothes, Xiaohuangmen put a bowl of chicken soup to help Zhao Zhen replenish his spirits.

Zhao Zhen had just picked up the bowl when a small yellow gate came to report quickly. Li Di and Lu Yijian led the magistrate to ask for a meeting outside the archway.

Putting down the bowl, Zhao Zhen felt as big as a bucket and asked weakly: "Why are you here?"

Xiaohuangmen said loudly: "I heard from you all that it is a great victory on Qinfeng Road! The good news has just arrived in the capital and come to report the good news to the official family!"

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he asked: "What did you say? Is it a good news? Where is the great victory?"

"The official family is a great victory in Qinfeng Road! I heard this sentence, what is the specific details, and I still have to listen to your husbands."

Zhao Zhen suddenly stood up and walked around the place twice, but didn't know what to do for a moment. It was not until Xiaohuangmen reminded the ministers and officials were still waiting outside the Chuigong Gate that he said, "Let you all enter the hall and wait for Chongzheng Hall."

The little yellow gate that came came, and Zhao Zhen ordered the transfer to Chongzheng Hall. After walking two steps, he stopped again and ordered the little yellow gate beside him: "Wait, wait until I change into court clothes, how can such a big thing be careless!"

Xiaohuangmen whispered: "If you see ministers in the front hall, you should wear casual clothes without any trouble."

Zhao Zhen was not willing to listen. He had to change his court uniform before leaving. Calculate the time, this victory was fought by Shi Quanbin when he arrived in Qinzhou and brought him his words to Xu Ping. Although he didn't know the specific situation, he believed that he would not disappoint himself and could stabilize the morale of the upper and lower levels of the court. This victory would definitely be small. The scale may not be greater than the Battle of Sanduchuan, but this time it must be the regular army of Dangxiang, and no longer the earthly king like Yu Zanghuama. Maybe it was the capture of Huizhou mentioned earlier. Change in court uniforms to show his solemnity. This is not for the magistrates to see, but for this timely help.

In Chongzheng Hall, Li Di and Lu Yijian stood up with the prime ministers, but their faces were swept away the sinisterness of these days and became obviously relaxed. Shortly after Dangxiang rebelled against the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen broke the old rules that the Zhengshi Hall and the Privy Council were not open to each other, and chose a new place not far from the Zhengshi Hall, so that the two governments could discuss state affairs together. With this rule, the prime ministers came together.

I waited for a long time today, but everyone was not anxious. Today I was given a good news. Last time Sanduchuan was defeated, the Privy Council was pressed for a day or two before he dared to report it to Zhao Zhen. In those days, several prime ministers were under great pressure. As soon as the Qinzhou news arrived, Lu Yijian did not delay the sect, so he gathered the prime ministers and entered the palace together.

Zhao Zhen entered Chongzheng Hall and became energetic.

Li Di and Lu Yijian took everyone to ceremonially, and Zhao Zhen gave him a seat. When everyone sat down, Zhao Zhen could no longer help and asked Lu Yijian sitting in front: "Duke Xu, how is the victory in Qinfeng Road?"

Lu Yijian stood up and held the scepter: "Report to Your Majesty, I just received the victory in Qinzhou and defeated the thieves of Dangxiang in Zhuoluo and Nanda!"

Zhao Zhen was stunned: "Zhuo Luo and Nan? That's it, why are you there? Are you not in Huizhou?"
