Long before Song Jiu set off, Yang Ye and others summoned to the capital.

Only two people had not yet succeeded. One of them was Yang Yanzhao and went to Liaodong. After the defeat of Qigou Pass, no other minister had been talking about Song Jiu's funding for Liaodong.

It's worth it.

How many soldiers, the people, how much money did they spend in this battle? If the money was placed in Liaodong, the backward Jurchens could become local tyrants, but what would be the result? But there was also a new saying that when the economy recovered, the Song Dynasty could secretly support money, silk or materials and weapons, and Yang Yanzhao and Shi Xian had to transfer back from Liaodong.

That is, it does not give the Liao Kingdom a handle.

There was another man, Shi Gui, who was not in good health, and then he worked hard in the army, like Song Jiu, recovered from injuries and illnesses in Xiongzhou. Finally, the injury occurred in a series of cases. Before Song Jiu set off, Shi Gui died. Old Shi died gloriously, and for a moment, all the scholars and officials changed their tone and almost portrayed him as Zhou Chu of the Song Dynasty.

The first person to come back was Fu Zhaoshou.

He also carries a mission to fulfill his promise.

He brought the letter to the Song family first. At that time, Pan Lian'er had learned that her husband had escaped from heaven, so he thought it was all to repay God. He took out countless money and silk from the house and exchanged it for copper coins and cotton cloth, and secretly gave it to Fu Zhaoshou. After all, her husband is different from Fu Zhaoshou, and if he doesn't do it well, he will be suspected of buying the morale of the army.

Fu Zhaoshou also understood this principle, so the banner he used was his own.

However, he could not hide it from Zhao Kuangyi, so he called Fu Zhaoshou to ask. Fu Zhaoshou did not dare to hide it, and told him everything.

Zhao Kuangyi finally figured out the whole story, but even Fu Zhaoshou didn't know the content of the memorial written by Song Jiu, nor did he hear Fu Zhaoshou say that Song Jiu made a mistake in his strategy.

Zhao Kuangyi felt ashamed, and breathed a sigh of relief and cursed: "That tricky woman thinks beautifully, Song Qing is only worth ten thousand taels of gold?"

Fu Zhaoshou thought to himself that there is a royal title behind him.

Zhao Kuangyi said again: "You are good friends with Song Qing, but you are ignorant, and you are far less than your father. Brother and two sisters, learn from him."

"yes."

Today, Zhao Kuangyi held a banquet in the palace and summoned more than 20 meritorious service members to the palace.

Seeing Yang Ye, Zhao Kuangyi said happily: "How can you repay me so well?"

It was originally a reward for my speed, but now it has become so prosperous.

Yang Ye was loyal to Zhao Kuangyi, but many ministers were speechless. Of course, they had such a great reward to you. A surrendered general made only some contributions, and in the blink of an eye, you were the No. 2 figure in the Hedong Military Region. If I were to repay you, I would also try my best to repay you.

Yang Ye knocked on the ground with his head and said sadly: "I dare to be prosperous. The three armies collapsed and suffered numerous casualties. The emperor was humiliated and the people were separated. I should die."

"Yang Qing, take off your robe and let me see your injuries."

Yang Ye took off his robe and said, "Your Majesty, we are all injured, not just me."

"Okay, you will uncover your armor and let me see it, and let my close ministers see it."

More than twenty generals took off their armor and exposed their upper bodies. In fact, these people had the opportunity to escape. However, none of them ran away, and they were all fighting desperately, so they all got arrows many times.

Zhao Kuangyi sighed and said, "You and others are all my loyal ministers and pillars of the country."

I don’t know if he is really moved or is making a show. Anyway, these dozens of generals thank you all together.

Zhao Kuangyi asked again: "Yang Qing, Liu Qing, your two tribes are moving forward and the other is in the central army. How can Song Qing bring you together?"

In fact, Zhao Kuangyi almost guessed it at this time. Although Fu Zhaoshou couldn't explain it clearly, Yang Ye said sadly and angryly: "Your Majesty, General Cao is ruining the country."

He told the story about it, and when he set out, Song Jiu felt bad, and then asked Yang Ye, Yang Ye felt bad, one was that the three routes were far away, and they were separated by thousands of mountains, so it was inconvenient to contact each other, and Cao Bin might lack ability. Then Song Jiu thought of food and grass, and asked Cao Bin, who used his old qualifications to evade Song Jiu. When he arrived in Zhuozhou, Song Jiu was still worried and looked around and saw that there was only a small amount of food in the army, so he became anxious. Then, despite Cao Bin's opinion, he authorized Yang Ye to lead troops to Gu'an to protect the grain, but the food and grass were robbed by Yelu Xiuge.

When he returned to Xiongzhou, he had to eat and wait for the rear to raise food and grass. Zhao Kuangyi's edict arrived. Song Jiu agreed to Zhao Kuangyi's edict. The new city was close to the border and was convenient to transport food and grass. The two armies were united and had a deterrent effect. Even if it was not good, it was conducive to retreat.

However, Cao Bin's attitude was not firm. Cui Yanjin saw that he had made contributions from the two roads of China and the West, and was eager to achieve success, so he finally went from Baigou Road to Qigou Pass. Song Jiu felt something was wrong, so he gathered several generals together. Why was it Liu Zhixin Fu Zhaoshou and Yang Ye? It's not necessary to explain this, everyone knows it.

But Yang Ye did not say that Song Jiu raised funds to reward soldiers and assisted soldiers to strengthen military discipline, but only asked them to strengthen military discipline just in case. Then he retreated from Zhuozhou City to Qigou Pass. Song Jiu felt something was wrong, so he deliberately asked several troops to disturb them and protect their weapons in case of accidents. Sure enough, the Liao army rushed over, and the Song army had no way to escape, so they jumped into the Juma River in armor. Most of them were not good at water. How could this jump come up?

Song Jiu had no choice but to start fighting desperately.

Everyone knows the ones ahead, and the ones behind are almost well-known, so Yang Ye didn't say anything more.

But Yang Ye also didn't know Song Jiu's memorial.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation when they heard it.

It’s not the emperor’s fault, but the emperor is so wise. It’s because of Cao Bin. Cao Bin must be severely punished.

This is a palace banquet, not a vegetable market. Zhao Kuangyi stopped everyone's confrontation, and then looked back on the past, there was a sad side and a joyful side. Looking forward to the future, he was filled with emotion, wrote a poem and circulated through his close ministers.

Li Fang thanked Wan Qian even more.

It was the time when he was, but now he was in a different state of mind. Song Qi went down, and this Northern Expedition was miserable and he could never get on. Song Jiu went down and was about to come back, but he was seriously ill and I don’t know when he could manage the government. There was also Wang Xian in the Western Prefecture, but Wang Xian was a soy sauce. Therefore, Li Fang was almost the only one. After tasting the taste of power, he didn’t want to let Zhao Pu go.

Therefore, he said: "It is right for Your Majesty to send troops this time, but the general is incompetent."

It is more clear here than Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu said that even sending troops was wrong, so Zhao Kuangyi was somewhat wrong. You are the emperor, why are you soft-hearted? Now there is no last responsibility for Zhao Kuangyi!

All the ministers agreed and agreed.

Then formally interrogate Cao Bin.

Cao Guohua, is that true?

yes.

It's your fault.

yes.

You have harmed the country and the people.

Yes. The criminal will die...

Cao Bin was timid, and the other generals were gone, and they all understood, so he simply admitted his mistake.

Jia Huangzhong then wrote a letter, Cao Bin and Fu Qian were in violation of the imperial edict and lost their rules, and many scholars died; Mi Xin, Cui Yanjin, Dong Yuan, and Zhang Shaoyi violated the deployment and restraint and returned to the army. They were defeated by the enemy; Du Yangui did not allow the soldiers to eat, and the formation was not in order, and the army was mostly lost; Cai Yu was cowardly when he encountered the enemy, and he was disguised, and he was disguised; Chen Tingshan and Zhuozhou battle were out of order; Xue Jizhao first planned to retreat before the battle, and the military situation was chaotic: all laws should be killed.

"Behead..." Zhao Kuangyi murmured: "There is no need to behead him. All the generals have made great contributions to our dynasty. I will save him from his death penalty, but it is hard to spare his life."

Cao Bin was demoted to the General of the Right Guard, Cui Yanjin was promoted to the General of the Right Wu Guard, Mi Xin was promoted to the General of the Right Guard, and Zhang and the General of the Right Guard, Fu Qian was promoted to the General of the Right Guard, so he went to retire. Du Yangui was appointed as the Deputy Envoy of the Guizhou Tuan. Chen Yanshan was appointed as the Deputy Envoy of the Fuzhou Tuanlian, and Cai Yu took the lead in escape. He was the worst. He was expelled from Shangzhou and was appointed as the governor of the Shangzhou. Xue Jizhao dismissed the Wensi envoy as a entrusted official.

Then, the imperial edict was issued that if the county ministers were listed in the army, if there were no military formations or trapped in the Rong bandits, they should be given additional pensions. The descendants should be recorded. If the people transport grain but do not return, they will be exempted from tax for two years and their families will be given three grains.

Then come the reward.

Yang Ye and other generals and schools all received generous rewards, and Shi Gui even posthumously awarded him the title of Duke Bao. This is not surprising. The Central Plains dynasty system has always been sealed and not sealed, just like Song Jiu. If he did not make a major mistake, he could even posthumously award him the title of the prince after his death.

The soldiers were given additional pensions for the victims, but some soldiers were sad, and most of the soldiers had comrades survived. Later, Song Jiu sent people to record the names and origins of the victims through their mouths, and reported them to the court after they arrived in Xiongzhou. However, the three armies were in chaos at that time, and more than half of the people under Yang Ye and Fu Liu's subordinates escaped, which was difficult to distinguish. Especially later, the troops took the initiative to rush up to participate in the war, and even many soldiers were not organized. These soldiers could not distinguish them, so they had to enjoy the treatment of ordinary soldiers.

There are also rewards from soldiers from various villages, volunteers, strong men and archers. After this battle, the vital energy of the soldiers was greatly damaged because these militias or village soldiers performed well in this battle, especially the villagers, who were trained by ten days of continuous bloody battles and were all incorporated into the violator.

If you do not agree to join the Imprisoner, there will be a generous reward.

Officials from the Three Divisions were worried. In this way, how could the treasury have so much money?

But no one said a word. From Xiao Yanyan's perspective, it would be too expensive to snatch Song Jiu's army and the upcoming reinforcements in Xiongzhou. They also wanted to prevent Pan Mei's army from rushing to Youzhou, so they issued an edict to withdraw their troops. But from the perspective of the Song Dynasty, if Song Jiu had not led these tens of thousands of troops to hold the Liao army tightly, the entire Hebei would have been empty at that time, and the Liao army rushed south to rush the flag to the south, at least the entire Hebei would be a mess.

Not only Song Jiu’s contributions, but also the contributions of these powerful soldiers and generals.

When Tian Chongjin was rewarded with Tian Chongjin, he was wise. He ran quickly and even arrived after the surrendered soldiers. Tian Chongjin was going to kill him, but Yuan Jizhong stopped him and killed him. He did not kill him because he killed him. Therefore, he took great strides back from Weizhou, and almost all the main forces were saved, and even took away some of the people, many of the surrendered soldiers and generals from Weizhou Feihu.

Therefore, it is recommended to be the capital of the Cavalry and Infantry Army.

He was a horse and infantry law enforcement officer. He was originally appointed by Zhang Lingduo, but later Zhang Lingduo changed his position. He had never been granted this official position for twenty-five years.

But Tian Chong's retreated and Pan Mei suffered.

The defeat was defeated by Yelu Xizhen in succession. If Tian Chongjin did not retreat, his subordinates would have brave generals such as Yuan Jizhong and Jing Si, and the two were united. Although the troops were inferior to Yelu Xizhen, the difference would not be too big. Will they defeat the fierce fox of the Liao Kingdom in the end? Or the two joined forces, just like Cao Bin and Cui Yanjin. If you are not convinced, I am not convinced. Not only does it not have the effect of one plus one equal to two, but it is even weaker in internal friction and thus defeated?

This will always be a mystery. Compared to Tian Chongjin, Pan Mei failed several times, although the main force was saved. In the end, because she did not implement Zhao Kuangyi's immigration policy well, Yelu Xizhen's army confiscated Shuozhou, intercepted the people together, and killed a small number of troops stationed in each state and officials, so she did not reward or punished. However, Li Jilong replaced Yang Ye's position and attacked cities and allocated villages in previous battles. He performed well and transferred to Hebei. Yang Ye was temporarily staying in the capital to recuperate. This is someone I appreciate. Let you see how loyal he is!

Face-saving projects are a must.

But the worst thing is the economy.

The national treasury battle was empty, and the inner treasury was not left.

So what to do? Have to increase taxes!

Song Jiu was about to arrive in the capital.

Zhao Kuangyi was very grateful. Song Jiu took the fate of the Song Dynasty and was very cautious in doing things. Even the memorial was not known by another person, which made Zhao Kuangyi very satisfied. Therefore, he solemnly asked his second son Yuanyou and his third son Yuanxiu to go to Huazhou to welcome Song Jiu.

Although the treatment is grand, it should be accepted.

If Song Jiu had not fought hard, no one would have imagined what the north would be like now.

When the army was launched, Zhao Kuangyi only summoned the Privy Council to make plans, and even summoned six times a day. The Secretariat did not report it. If he wins, of course no one would say anything. What did Zhao Kuangyi call the Western Prefecture Prime Minister do? That was to make up for the missing. Who dares to change the four Western Prefecture Prime Ministers?

But after losing, the topic came up. The emperor came up with a good strategy, which was originally a great victory. However, there were mistakes in every detail. You can't blame the emperor. Do you have to take care of everything? This military and political responsibility is the responsibility of the Western Government.
