Chapter 93 The end of the Northwest War
When the sun sets in the west, Huiteng's car was carrying Wenshen to his doorstep. When he entered the yard, he saw his father killing chickens and fish, so he smiled and said, "Dad, what good things did you buy at the market today?" Wenshen's mother happened to come out of the house and saw Wenshen, and asked, "I'm back, that Feiyan's parents are all good, right?" Wenshen said, "Everything is pretty good, what delicious food I made tonight. I'm a little hungry." Wenshen's mother smiled and said, "I made what you love tonight..."
...
Late at night, Wenshen was lying in the warm bed. I wondered if it was because of space that I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. I thought to myself, "Since I can't sleep, why not go back to the ancient times. I don't know how the war in the northwest is now." Thinking of this, I got up and put on my clothes, and returned to the Xixia Palace. When I left the hall, I saw that it was early in the morning, and a red sun slowly rose in the east.
Four guards standing guard at the entrance of the hall saw Wen Shen and hurriedly stood at the sight of him. Wen Shen asked, "What happened these days?" One of the guards replied, "Go back to the committee seat. Liu Jingluo came yesterday and said that the food and horses in the city had been counted. In addition, Tong Shumi has occupied Lingzhou and is heading towards Jingzhou. I don't know the specific details."
Wen Shen thought to himself: "It seems that the war in Xixia has basically ended, and all parties are desperately trying to seize the fruits of victory." So he smiled at the guard and said, "You go and invite Lord Liu and the battalion commanders to come to me."
Not long after, Liu Fa brought a few generals to the hall and asked with a lewd smile: "Master, are you feeling comfortable living in the palace these days?" Wenshen smiled and said, "This palace is nothing, it's just the people here, it's not bad." Liu Fa laughed and said, "Master is indeed a person with a temperament, and Liu is willing to give up the disadvantage." As he said that, he bowed and bowed.
At this moment, the dynasty and his people also came to the hall. Seeing everyone, Wen Shen said seriously: "I have been feeling a little uncomfortable these days and have been resting in the room. Today I feel better. Please talk about the scenes in the past few days." Everyone knew what Wen Shen was doing in the room, but they didn't explain it.
Liu Fa also put away his lewd smile and said, "After counting, a total of 150,000 war horses, hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were captured this time, and countless food and grass were collected." The dynasty next to him continued, "In addition, we also found more than 6 million taels of silver and more than 50 taels of gold, and dozens of boxes of jewelry, calligraphy and paintings."
Wen Shen was happy and thought to himself: "I've made a fortune this time. I'm still in stock when I saw the founding of the country and the country for a hundred years. I can do it without horses, so I must bring back the gold and silver to Yizhou." So he smiled and said: "This time it's a great harvest."
Wang Chao smiled and said, "These gold and silver are only from the Ministry of Revenue and the Palace. The princes and ministers have not searched at their homes. If they search, they can still produce something."
Wen Shen laughed and said, "Those princes and ministers should be exploited, but they should be exploited. If this is the best way, you can squeeze it yourself, which will be a reward for you. Of course, you should stop at the right time and don't kill anyone." When everyone heard this, they were very happy to thank them.
In the next few days, the soldiers were all smiling happily. They never thought that they could make money by fighting, and they would make a fortune. More importantly, they would not have to die. These completely subverted their previous concepts. Now whenever they saw Wenshen, they were very excited. Some soldiers actually compiled what Wenshen had said into a book and named it "Quotes on the Commission", which was circulated in various military camps for a time. During this period, Tong Guan led a large army to conquer Jingzhou and Huaizhou continuously, and arrived at Xingqing Prefecture.
On this day, the generals of the Northwest Army gathered in the palace hall. Tong Guan was very polite and said, "This time, I will rely on the magical weapons and weapons of the national army. Otherwise, I would not have wiped out the Western thieves so easily." Wen Shen laughed and said, "It's Lord Tong who has made the most contribution. If Lord Tong hadn't restrained the Western thieves on the east line, we would have been flooded by hundreds of thousands of Western thieves."
Tong Guan laughed: "National Master, the war in the Northwest is basically over now. I wonder what arrangements the National Master will have next?" Wen Shen smiled: "The news of our meeting with Xingqing Prefecture has been sent to the capital, and the Emperor Ming has petitioned to return to Yizhou. From now on, the matters in the Northwest will depend on Lord Tong." Tong Guan was happy and thought to himself: "When the National Master, the Northwest will be his own world." But he kept it and said: "National Master also depends on the musketeers of the National Master. If you leave like this, the Western thieves may be making trouble again."
Wen Shen said: "Don't worry, Lord Tong, I have equipped three thousand soldiers with firearms. Now, with Liu Jingluo, as long as there are these three thousand musketeers, it's okay to keep them in the northwest." Tong Guan smiled and said: "It's still thoughtful as the national teacher. Tonight, we drink happily and celebrate the pacification...
”
...
In the next month, Liu Fa and Zhong Shidao led an army of 100,000 to capture Dingzhou, the northern gate of Xingqing Prefecture, and Tao Jiefu pacified Xiazhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou and other places. The huge civil servant acceptance group sent by Song Huizong also arrived in various parts of the Western Xia one after another. From then on, all Western Xia, except for the Western Regions, were included in the territory of the Song Dynasty.
So at the same time, Wenshen sold all the weapons and ammunition to Liu Fa. He carried a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and returned to the capital with thousands of Xixia royal family members.
Liu Fa, who received strong firepower, began his magnificent career.
On that day, ten miles west of Kaifeng City, both sides of the official road were filled with officials of all levels of Song Dynasty, all over the Song Dynasty, and it was very spectacular. Song Huizong sat in the imperial carriage, holding a telescope, and looked at the end of the official road. "It should be time?" Song Huizong muttered in a low voice.
The eunuch Liang Shicheng next to him smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you're about to come in a quarter of an hour." Song Huizong smiled and said, "It seems that I'm worried."
Not long after, Liang Shicheng shouted: "Your Majesty, the national master is here!" Song Huizong hurriedly picked up the telescope and swept into the distance. He saw a long row of tractors in front of him coming towards him. So he said to Liang Shicheng: "Play music!" For a moment, the surging and passionate triumphal music sounded.
Wenshen rode a war horse to the imperial carriage of Song Huizong, dismounted and said with great tribute: "My minister Wenshen, please see the emperor, long live my emperor!" Song Huizong smiled and said: "This time, the national army has worked hard and made great contributions, so hurry up and calm down." Wenshen stood up and said: "The reason for the great victory this time is that the emperor is the right person to use people, and the soldiers will work hard." Song Huizong laughed: "Today, I will hold a banquet to entertain the soldiers.
...
The next day, Wenshen checked in Yuanmiao Villa, and the ministers of the court took turns to visit him. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked Li Yi to deal with the matter and hid in the room to play computer games without leaving. The rich soldiers bought all kinds of strange objects in the capital, and had to hide in the tram and enjoy it.
The leisurely days passed quickly. Half a month later, Wen Shen led his troops to pull the gold and silver snatched from the northwest and returned to Yizhou to defend. Wen Shen stayed in the capital and started the work of the Science and Technology Department.
