Zhao Xingde wiped the mud and water on his face, raised his knife and shouted *** He raised his foot, but found that his ankle was already deep in the mud and the mud was immersed in leather boots. He never felt that although the North Conscripts were selecting elite troops, he also performed many times in response to various situations during the pursuit, but Zhenzhen was raided by Liao cavalry in the wilderness. Fortunately, Zhao Xingde's subordinates survived and encountered a hiding during the marching. He could not use firearms in heavy rain. Under such extremely unfavorable conditions, he could still defeat the Liao soldiers. Even those who had just won the victory could not believe it.

"We won?" Zhang Jiurong, the 7th Battalion of the Left Army, looked disbelieving. He stood in the mud and water with difficulty. The Raozhou soldiers were surrounded by exhausted Raozhou camp. Because of his outstanding performance in the bloody battle in Shuzhou, the entire battalion was promoted to the imperial guards. After adding some veterans of the Baoyi Army, he was organized into the 7th Battalion of the Baoyi Left Army, Zhang Jiurong was a weak scholar and naturally could not serve as the commander of the battalion. But he obeyed his father's orders and would rather be an ordinary ten-men commander than leave the Raozhou camp to live up to his loyalty. Before the northern expedition, he was elected as the escort of the escort of the military soldiers without any suspense. Zhao Xingde immediately appointed him as the escort of the Seventh Battalion of the Seventh Battalion of the Seventh Battalion.

"Mr. Zhang, have the Liao soldiers retreated?" The soldiers who asked were covered in sweat and blood.

"The Liao army was defeated." Zhang Jiurong's surprise turned into ecstasy and shouted, "The Liao army was defeated by us."

The Song soldiers in the formation asked each other in surprise and intersected, many people were ignorant of their faces and muddy, and they shouted happily that the officers did not take the lead. The soldiers had raised their guns in groups of three or three and shouted, "General Zhao - Wansheng", "Protect the territory and safeguard the people, and swear to destroy the northern enemy", "Restore the rivers and mountains", "Wansheng". The cheers were getting louder and louder, floating in the clear sky after the rain, out of the expected victory, made the confidence from top to bottom rise particularly high.

"General Lu asked to lead his troops to pursue him"

"General Yang requested to lead his troops to pursue the enemy"

"General Luo asks to pursue the fleeing enemy"

"The enemy's army is powerful, and although it is retreating for the time being, it is still not allowed to look at it." Zhao Xingde shook his head and ordered, "General Yang commander the cavalry to set out first, and intercept behind the enemy to check the reality and reality. However, he is not allowed to attack the remaining camps of the enemy without authorization, collect the comrades who died in battle, and after cremating the bodies, hand over the battlefield to the prefectures and counties to train. We continue to go north, be careful along the way, arrive at Anlu Village before dark to replenish supplies."

Staff Officer Li Qianxun hesitated and asked, "Where is the body of the Liao soldiers?"

"There is no need to be that right now," Zhao Xingde shook his head and said, "There is no time to take care of them, report the victory to Ezhou, send fast horses to win our army." He looked around the battlefield where corpses were everywhere, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly said, "The more than 200,000 cavalry of the Liao army were defeated, killing and wounding countless people. The news of the Liao bandits could not resist. The news of escaping from the north was spread to all prefectures and counties, and the forts and informing the soldiers and civilians of the hometown. Since the fall of the north, those who have made detailed mistakes will not investigate, and those who have a certain merit will reward me with all my loyalty and wise

Wherever our army goes, we can declare our achievements in protecting the territory and ensuring the people. In the present, we will report our virtues to the court. In terms of our merits and reward our people in Henan, we will not be vulnerable to the clothes and hair, and we will be slaves and animals. We can raise our troops to attack the Liao army. We will restore our old mountains and rivers. We will restore our land in a state. We will write to the court to be the governor of the county to protect the people of a county. We will recommend our virtues to the county magistrate. Those who are loyal and righteous will not let down the Song Dynasty, and those who are loyal and righteous will not let down the Song Dynasty."

"Accept the order" The soldiers agreed loudly before they could not stop for a long time. The cavalry scout who had been accumulating strength set out and went north again to report their identities. Two envoys of Xia Kingdom reported their identities. They were taken to Zhao Xingde by the scout. They submitted the letter from the military department to General Zhao Xingde, and returned it to the envoy after reading the letter from General Zhao Xingde. They sighed, "Now the arrow has been sent out, and we cannot give up halfway. Wait for the situation in the north to stabilize. Zhao should apologize to the Military and Justice Department." His tone was not as proud as he won the victory. Instead, he had an indescribable feeling that his personal soldiers were guarding from afar. They were not clear about the situation. The two envoys knew the inside story and their faces were also gloomy.

Wu Xi and Zhang Fang also bowed and said, "The last general obeys the order"

The two envoys turned around and left. When they said goodbye, Wu Xi hesitated for a moment and bowed to him, "With the general's reputation and achievements, as long as you overcome the difficulties in front of you, the guardian government and the clear observation of the Zhuguo Mansion will sooner or later be a major use. Although we are slight, we will truthfully report General Zhao's difficulties to the two governments. I hope the general will not mislead himself." His implication was to remind Zhao Xingde with kindness that he would never be able to dominate his troops, but simply be an enemy of the five governments, protecting the country's government will never be merciless to the rebel generals in order to avoid the whole world in the future. Zhao Xingde will definitely be difficult to deal with himself and will be disgraced.

"Thank you for your good intentions." Zhao Xingde nodded and watched the two envoys leave. His heart was mixed with all kinds of feelings. Li Ruoxue and his two children have not arrived in the Song Dynasty so far. It is conceivable that the military palace must be extremely angry. The military palace must have an extremely angry saying in the letter of Annan, and that there is still a chance to survive. Xia Kingdom has no secret. The precedent for executing soldiers. The Guardian government cannot send the army to the battlefield to die and do what it does. After doing what it does, it will be punished and punished for military law for what it does.

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Song army were collecting spoils in full swing. When the Liao army retreated, they were orderly, so there were not many war horses left behind on the battlefield. However, many injured horses were also killed by the Song army. The soldiers peeled the horse skin off and sold it to the merchants who accompanied the army. The horse meat was smeared with thick salt to make cured meat and taken away. Because the food was sufficient, the camps only searched for silver and money from the corpses of the Liao army. Before going to war, the Song army fully estimated the difficulty of supply. When necessary, the enemy's corpses were also a source of food that cannot be discarded. "Even if you eat up every enemy, you cannot starve a person to death, and I will bear it." This was Zhao Xingde's decision before the war based on some experience in recruiting thieves. The whole leg was especially suitable for hanging on a car and drying, called "pipa meat".

As for other things on the bodies of the Liao soldiers, such as armor and robe, they were trained by nearby prefectures and counties and stripped away by the people. Before and after the Liao army passed, the nearby people were hiding the Song people who were all over the Liao army. It was relatively easy to find the "official army" of the Song State. Not only that, they also received the strong cooperation of local governments and gentry during the war. After the double plunder and destruction of the Song State and the Liao State, the people in the war zone between the two sides were already extremely poor and ordinary clothes, which was already the property passed down by father and son.

The leather jackets from the north can be regarded as valuable. Other things such as leather belts, sheepskin boots, copper and iron rings, leather kettles, leather saddles and other things that Liao soldiers can also do as much as they carry with them. It is cheaper to use armor and scimitars in several nearby counties. After Taoist priests from Yi Bingchang camps in several nearby counties did rituals to exorcise evil spirits, within a few days, the people who heard the news cleaned the battlefield like tireless ants, and finally the monks from several temples did good deeds. In order to prevent the plague, tens of thousands of naked corpses were concentrated and burned.

From Anlu to Suizhou, the roads were mostly hills, which was not conducive to cavalry galloping. Therefore, Zhao Xingde marched north to Suizhou, but did not encounter a large group of Liao army and Liao army, which was also facing the crisis of delaying for a long time, and the army was ineffective. Therefore, it did not entangle with Zhao Xingde's troops in the mountains, but left a few troops to defend Wusheng Pass. The army burned and killed all the way to retreat north of Suizhou. After Zhao Xingde led his troops to Suizhou, he restricted the soldiers from entering the city and only required Suizhou to provide food and grass.

The march along the mountain road was extremely difficult. Zhao Xingde's mount had already been sent out to transport sick soldiers. He personally walked with the army with dry food. At night, he wrapped a blanket and lay in the open air. Every time he went, he summoned the nearby Yi soldiers' leaders to explain the righteousness and granted official positions according to his merits and strength. Before the Northern Expedition, the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of War gave Zhao Xingde dozens of blank governors. The county magistrate proclaimed himself, and was specially used to recruit heroes from the north.

"I heard about General Zhao's name for a long time. How lucky is it to be able to see General today?" Qu Changqing saluted respectfully and greeted him, "These are three unscrupulous dogs. I admire General Zhao's name for a long time. I also asked General Zhao not to dislike them and take them to serve him." The three young men in armor came up immediately and bowed to Zhao Xingdexing to greet Zhao Xingde, Zhao Xingde led his troops to fight north. Although the troops had not passed through Suizhou, heroes from the north and the south all rushed to the scene. If they had not inquired about the superiors and subordinates in Baoyi's army, they only bowed but did not kneel down, Qu Changqing planned to kneel down with the courtesy of his subordinates.

"Mr. Qu is not afraid of violence and summons the villagers to deal with Liao soldiers. Loyalty and righteousness are worthy of history," Zhao Xingde smiled and nodded, "A loyalty and martyrdom can be praised." Suizhou is the key to the north and south boundary. Even the plains of Henan Province is a tyrant in Suizhou. The Qu family, as a powerful force in Suizhou, took the initiative to send three sons, including their eldest son and more than 500 heroes into the Northern Expedition Army, which shows their sincerity. Zhao Xingde could also rest assured that he waved his hand, and his personal soldiers held a wooden plate, and a piece of yellow silk was placed in the wooden plate to report to him.

"I have reported to the court and recommended Mr. Qu as the governor of Suizhou." Zhao Xingde reported Huang Juan and said seriously, "After the restoration of the prefecture school in Suizhou, he will elect local officials such as the prefecture. As the governor, the local officials should work together to benefit the hometown."

Qu Changqing immediately knelt down and took the notice, he could not hide his excitement and said to Zhao Xingde, "Qu was recommended by Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao is Qu's mentor. If there is a person in Suizhou who does not listen to General Zhao's orders and interferes with the major events of the Northern Expedition, Qu will be the first to not let him go."

The difference between officials and citizens of the Song State is like a world of difference. Now the orthodox court of Ezhou is unquestionable. If it were not for the chaos in the world, like Qu Changqing, who was originally just a gentry, and had not passed the imperial examination and had the right path in the Imperial Academy, would never be able to do it as a fifth-rank governor. Not only Qu Changqing himself was a fifth-rank official, according to the court system, he could also be kind to his descendants and officials. From then on, the Qu family jumped from an ordinary gentry to an official family. After confessing his love, he saw Zhao Xingde nodding slightly and recognized the status of teachers and students. Qu Changqing, who was more than ten years older than Zhao Xingde, stood up satisfied and stood in the lower head with his three sons. After listening to Zhao Xingde's orders to the army to fight north, he stabilized all the affairs on the ground in Suizhou.
