Chapter 578

Wang Xiaoli rectified the commander and the chief magistrate in Luoyang, and promoted the regularization of his subordinate troops. At this time, Li Yanxian arrived outside Hangzhou City.

The plum rain season has just entered, and the rain has continued to rain in Hangzhou these days.

Lu Yihao stood under the green umbrella and looked anxiously ahead. Beside him was the second prime minister Qin Hui, with a gloomy face. Behind him was the minister in the court, with different expressions.

Since Jingkang, the Jin army has been dominant and almost no one can stop it. The biggest failure is probably that Wu Shu searched the mountains and checked the sea in the fourth year of Jianyan and was blocked by Han Shizhong in Huang Tiandang. But in the end, Wu Shu escaped safely. In Shaanxi, although the Jin army did not break through Shukou, it has always gained the upper hand.

Only in Xiangyang did Wang Xiaowei attack several times and won the battle against the Jin army. This Northern Expedition to Luoyang, he killed more than 10,000 Jin soldiers and captured nearly 10,000 prisoners, which was an unprecedented victory. He killed ten thousand husbands in the formation, and was also the highest-ranking general of the Jin army killed by the Song army.

The victory in Shanzhou greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty, and it had spread all over the world at this time. The front-line generals were on their way to offer prisoners, which was naturally a major event in the court. Prime Minister Lu Yihao represented Emperor Zhao Gou, and with the ministers in the court, he waited outside the city early.

"Here, here!" With the shouts of the crowd in front, Li Yanxian and his party appeared in the rain.

Lu Yihao couldn't help but breathe. He walked forward quickly regardless of the heavy rain. Qin Hui and the ministers in the court hurriedly followed.

Li Yanxian saw it from afar, hurriedly dismounted and stood in the heavy rain to salute Lu Yihao and others.

Lu Yihao stepped forward and grabbed Li Yanxian's hand. He said, "The general killed the Jin general in front and defeated more than 20,000 of them. This is a great achievement that has been unsuccessful. All the subjects in the world are excited! Today I am ordered by the emperor to lead the general into the city!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers next to him who had always been carrying the imperial wine to come forward. He said to Li Yanxian: "Three cups of imperial wine are the emperor's heart to reward the general!"

Li Yanxian thanked him, took the wine glass, and drank it all in one go.

Put down the wine glass. Li Yanxian said: "The Jin thieves invaded the Central Plains in the south, and the world is in trouble. In this time of crisis, who can stay out of trouble! I rebeled in Shanzhou and fought with the Jin army for several years. Later, I was unable to support myself and went south to join the army with Wang Jieshuai. Last winter, Jieshuai handled the northern expedition and pointed directly at the Henan Prefecture of Xijing. Fortunately, the heavens gave mercy, Jieshuai took Xijing to serve the court. Later, Shaanxi Balisu, and the pseudo-Qi Liu Lin invaded Xijing into the east and west routes. Jieshuai was determined and sent troops to fight. In Zhongmu, he defeated Liu Lin and captured his general Li Cheng. Shanzhou defeated Balisu and killed dozens of his generals. Hucheng defeated Zheng Jianchong and captured more than 10,000. Our army could achieve such a great victory, and the emperor was the might of the army. Now, he is here to offer prisoners according to the order of Jieshuai! "

After saying that, he waved his hand and ordered someone to push Li Cheng up.

Li Cheng once gathered hundreds of thousands of people, and countless destruction counties, and all the ministers here knew his name. Now, seeing him wearing a masked face, his expression was depressed and his legs were rotten, everyone couldn't help but sigh. Thinking about a year or two ago, every move of this person shook the world, but he didn't expect to be like this.

Lu Yihao looked at Li Cheng with a serious expression. Among the treacherous thieves in the world, Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou and Yang Mo from Dongting Lake were the most difficult to deal with. It was not until Zhang Jun led Yue Fei to suppress the rebellion that Li Cheng crossed the Yangtze River and surrendered to the pseudo-Qi. Unexpectedly, after only a few months, he became a prisoner of Wang Xiaowei.

Among the heroes of this era, Li Cheng was particularly different. He did not like wealth, loved nurses, and was able to win the hearts of the soldiers. He was strict in the army and was relatively capable of fighting. He was a famous general in the eyes of everyone. After years of chaos, Zhao Gou wanted to recruit him and use it for his own purposes. However, he did not expect that he would surrender to the pseudo-Qi and would not serve the court.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and I couldn't see the figure clearly for several years. The onlookers were in high spirits and shouted.

After taking Li Cheng down, Li Yanxian took out another box and said to Lu Yihao: "It contains Jin Wanhu Balisu's head. In the fourth year of Jianyan, this little girl went south to Jiangnan and broke dozens of prefectures and counties. How many people were killed! Jie Shuai ordered someone to bring his head to show the wise wisdom of the court!"

Lu Yihao took the box and gently stroked it with his hand, his heart surging. He thought that more than two years ago, Balisu followed Wushu to search the mountains and seas, and then divided his troops to chase Queen Mother Meng, and almost caught up several times. At that time, many officials became weak when they heard Balisu's name. Many cities fled early without waiting for Balisu to arrive. Who could have his head in the box and put it in his hands in two years?

After stroking for a long time, Lu Yihao opened the wooden box. It had been treated with lime and medicine. Ba Lisu opened his eyes wide and seemed to be alive. Lu Yihao stared at his eyes. After a long time, he said, "If it weren't for a good general in the country, how could this guy get into this box? General, it's raining heavily, let's enter the city early."

Li Yanxian said that he was. He arranged for more than a thousand troops to station outside the city, and only brought fifty iron-armored cavalry to enter the city with Lu Yihao and others.

These fifty iron armored cavalry were specially arranged by Wang Xiaolie to show his military temperament. Everyone is tall and long, with a very majestic appearance. With a body of iron armor, there is armored war horse under his body, and he looks like a god.

It doesn’t matter what the army on the front line looks like. When you arrive at the rear, let the emperor and the people see it. Give them confidence.

Due to the terrain limitations, Lin'an City is different from other capitals. It is located south and north. Entering the city from the north gate and walking along the Imperial Street. Under the eaves on both sides, the people set up incense and watched the team of prisoners in the heavy rain. They pointed to the generals who were being escorted behind and discussed who they were.

It was raining heavily, but the enthusiasm of the people remained undiminished. Almost all the people stood on both sides of the Imperial Street, and some even climbed onto the trees.

Lu Yihao rode on the horse and said to Li Yanxian: "The great victory in Shanzhou is unprecedented. All the people who are walking are happy to hear it. Let's look at it. Although it rains heavily today, the people gathered on the street just to see you."

Li Yanxian said: "The Jin army has been unscrupulous in recent years, and the people have indeed suffered."

Fifty iron-armored cavalry escorted the prisoners and slowly walked across the Imperial Street. The iron cavalry stepped on the stone slabs and splashed water. The knights on the horse looked solemn, and their armor was covered with cold light. The rain flowed down from their bodies. When the people saw it, they cheered.

In the eyes of the people, this is the army that the court should have. Whether it is Arm or Human, it is the best choice.

Li Yanxian understood that this should have been the honor of Wang Xiaoli. No matter what, Wang Xiaoliu did not come and did it fall on him. He understood even more that his offering of prisoners this time represented the image of Wang Xiaoliu's army. No mistakes are allowed in every word or action.
