Chapter 483: The Voice in the Hall
The Jin army, who were impacted and collapsed, fled to the distance, some threw away their armor, and some simply lie on the ground and pretended to be dead.
The Song army did not pursue the long-term.
Wanyan Zonghan was not considered defeated, and the main elite of the Jin army still existed. If they pursued alone, they would likely be killed by the Jin army.
Xie Qian led his personal guards and quickly rushed to Yaogu's army.
"I will get rid of the Qian in the end, see Yao Shuai!"
Although Jie Qian belonged to Master Zhong, his level was lower than Yao Gu, so he naturally had to pay tribute after seeing Yao Gu.
Yao Gu was covered in dust and looked dull. He was obviously very excited and sat there motionless.
Chen Pingsheng, who was standing beside him, just shook his head, and after taking Jie Qianxing Lecture, he said to Jie Qianxing Lecture: "Shi Shuai, Yao Shuai is injured and needs to be sent back to Youzhou Prefecture urgently."
Li Shu on the side hurriedly said, "My sons, follow me to chase the golden thief and kill him without leaving any armor!"
Chen Pingsheng shouted: "Li Shu, don't chase the enemy!"
Li Shu ignored Chen Pingsheng at all, but sneered: "What do you know!"
"Li Shu, you stupid pig! Wanyan Zonghan's main force is still alive. You are bringing people here now. If you want to die, don't harm others!"
Li Shu was so angry that he pulled out his knife and walked over, wishing he could cut Chen Changsheng with one knife.
Jie Qian hurriedly blocked Chen Pingsheng: "Stop!"
"I came to pick up Yao Shuai at the order of Marshal Zhong. Now that Yao Shuai is seriously injured, I should retreat to Ruzhou first and defend Juyongguan." Jie Qian continued, "The Marshal personally led the army and has already advanced to Juyongguan."
Chen Pingsheng then took a breath. The marshal arrived in person and there was no worries in the north!
When he heard that Master Zhong had arrived, Li Shu hurriedly said, "I would like to return to Ruzhou with General Jie to pay homage to the marshal."
Chen Pingsheng was disdainful in his heart. Li Shu was frivolous in fighting, but he was a top-notch player in flattery and seeking credit.
As soon as he heard that the marshal was coming, he quickly thought of going back to pay homage to the marshal.
I'm afraid I'll have to whitewash the war again when I go back.
Next, the Song army began to collect corpses for their comrades who died in battle on the battlefield. This was the rule set by the Song army.
The soldiers who died in the Song army were piled up together, and a fire cremated them all.
In the evening, the fire clouds in the sky shine on the sky to the sky.
After cremating the Song army who died in battle, the logistics soldiers began to put on ashes, each of them put on a little, and took them back for registration.
Too many people died, so there would definitely be no time to cremate one by one.
I can only use this simple and direct method, which can also give my family an explanation.
Two days later, the Song army retreated to Juyong Pass.
The Song army's left-road army's northern expedition ended in failure.
The news of Yang Zaixing's victory on the Western Front had just been passed back to the capital, and news of Yao Gu's defeat followed one after another.
Yao Gu was not sent back to Youzhou, but was placed under house arrest in Ruzhou and was waiting to be sent to his death.
The news of Yao Gu's defeat shocked the court. For a moment, several ministers who opposed the Northern Expedition came out from the court.
For example, Tang Ke, the assistant minister.
He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I must not discuss peace. I just feel that the Northern Expedition is too hasty. After another three or five years, all the military and towns in the north will be ready, and it will not be too late to attack the Northern Expedition again. At least there will be no tragedy like Yao Gu's rash attack."
Before the Northern Expedition, Tang Ke also praised Yao Gu as Optimus Prime in the Northern Territory, and now he started to step on it in a blink of an eye.
Privy Councilor Li Gang said: "Your Majesty, I think that you should follow the strategy of Duke Fan to conquer Dangxiang, build cities and villages on the border, gradually erode the southern border of the Jin thieves, and move the front line to the north step by step."
Zhao Huan sat firmly on it, and he glanced at the ministers and turned around.
Zhao Ding also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I also agree with what Li Xianggong said, if the war cannot end this year, Jiaozi will depreciate by 20%.
Zhao Huan frowned slightly, what Zhao Ding said was not false.
In recent years, the Royal Bank of the Song Dynasty has printed a large number of Jiaozi, and the total amount of Jiaozi is closely related to the GDP of the Song Dynasty.
War will inevitably be accompanied by the large amount of produced materials being consumed, causing prices to rise.
Xu Churen also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I also agree with what Li Xianggong said, the Jin Dynasty was not a small country. Even Dangxiang, our dynasty spent a hundred years to destroy Dangxiang on the foundation of its predecessors."
Several big guys stood up and spoke, and the rest naturally stopped silent.
All the ministers unanimously said: "Your Majesty, I will withdraw my troops and defend the northern border!"
The emperor's eyes fell on Zong Ze and Han Shizhong who had not spoken, and said, "Duke Zong, what do you say?"
Zong Ze came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think you can't withdraw your troops!"
As soon as he said this, except for a few people, the other ministers were stunned and all their eyes were nailed to Zong Ze.
"Let me say it."
"The victory on the Western Front is a marshal in the north, and the eastern Front is as stable as Mount Tai. The Jin bandits and the whole country's troops went to war with our Song Dynasty. It took less than half a year. After the winter, the domestic food is scarce and the morale of the army will inevitably be dispersed. At that time, internal and external troubles are at the time. Why worry about the immortality of the Jin Kingdom!"
The emperor's eyes lit up, that's what he thought.
How could he not know the little Jiujiu in the hearts of these civil officials?
Han Shizhong came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"Marquis Yongwu, tell me quickly!"
"March and war, one move will decline again and again, and it will be exhausted! The Western Front Army has greatly boosted its power. If the troops withdraw at this moment, it will not only relieve Wanyan Zongbi's trap, but will instead cool down the hearts of the generals in the northwest, which will inevitably lead to a major setback in the morale of the army."
Zhao Huan was waiting for someone to say this, grandma is a leg, she is a soldier who has a chicken leg!
These old guys will withdraw their troops if they have a disagreement!
I don't want to fight if I don't have a little trouble!
I'm going to fight to the end today!
The emperor laughed and his voice surrounded the hall: "Hahaha, Marquis of Bold and Marquis said it well! How could I let down the passionate passion of the frontline soldiers!"
Xu Churen wants to say again: "Your Majesty..."
Zhao Huan raised his hand: "You guys, it's not time to talk about whether to withdraw the troops, but to report on the supply of food and grass in the north."
Seeing that the emperor was inconsistent, the ministers were not ready to speak up for a moment.
Everyone present was an old fox. The emperor insisted on doing it, so he had to do it well. When he encountered setbacks and failures, he would naturally turn back.
Li Gang reported the northern grain and grass supply supply, and Xu Churen suddenly said: "I heard that Yao Xianggong was sick, Your Majesty still recalled Yao Gu back to Beijing to heal his wounds first."
When Yao Gu was mentioned, the emperor's face immediately became gloomy.
Seo Chu-in was shocked.
"Xu Qing, this matter will be handled by the people from the Supervision Bureau."
Xu Churen quickly saluted and said, "Men Menglang."
The ministers were confused in their hearts. Although it was handled by the Supervision Bureau, Duan Zhijie was just the emperor's tyrant. How to deal with Yao Gu or the emperor's words.
The Yao family was a military noble family of the Song Dynasty. Four generations of the generations of Yao Pingzhong and Yao Xiong have made great contributions to defending the borders of the Song Dynasty.
The battle situation ahead also rewards the fact that Yao Xiong Tiepojun fought to the death.
