On September 27th, at dusk, the decisive battle ended.

Although Mohedu set up Ashinadusi and was still leading his army to defend the evacuation passage, the only one that the imperial army wanted to attack was the Northern Barbarians. The rest of them either fled or stayed in the wilderness, while various spoils such as war horses, cattle and sheep were piled up on the battlefield. The exhausted but highly morale soldiers of the imperial army knew that the decisive battle had ended and they won the final victory. The next step was to divide the spoils and return triumphantly.

That night, the emperor ordered that considering that the rebels of Yanzhao were attacking Taiyuan, Yanmen and the rear were critical, the soldiers of the army in Tokyo, Xijing, Hedong and Taiyuan were encouraged to continue to encourage the remaining power of defeating the northern enemy and go south to kill the bandits to ensure the stability of Shanxi.

The emperor also ordered the commander of the Northern Army, Wang Rengong, the prefect of Mayi, and Wang Zhibian, the general of Wuben, to lead the soldiers of the Northern Army to pursue the victory and go north to kill the enemy. Taking advantage of the great opportunity of the Northern Army being defeated, they quickly recovered the front line of the Great Wall, cleared the remaining enemies on the southern foot of the Yin Mountains, rebuilt the northern border garrison defense line, and ensured the safety of the northern border.

The emperor's third edict was to command the Northeast Road legions, telling them that the decisive battle had ended, and thanking the soldiers of Northeast Road for defending the White Wolf Side and successfully completing the decisive battle between the north and south. The soldiers of Northeast Road, especially Liaodong, and the Liaoxi Legion returned far away. Considering the seasons, climate and other reasons, the emperor ordered them to rest for a while and immediately leave Daibei and return to their respective town garrisons day and night.

On the night of September 27, the imperial army defeated the last line of defense of the Northern Lu, and Mohedushe Ashinadussi led the remaining troops to flee in a hurry.

The decisive victory was a brilliant victory, the greatest victory that the empire has achieved in foreign wars since the unification of Middle-Turkish forces. It has had a significant impact on the situation in the north and south and its historical process in the next few decades, and has also had an immeasurable impact on the situation in Middle-Turkish and the increasingly intense imperial crisis.

In the early morning of September 28, the emperor issued the fourth edict.

This is a reward order. The emperor fulfilled his promise to the soldiers of the imperial soldiers on the battlefield of the Yanmen battlefield and the White Wolf Sage. All soldiers who survived the war were awarded the position of scattered officials based on their time, number of participation and the size of their military achievements.

All officers, soldiers and soldiers at the brigade commander level below the brigade commander and brigade commander have the lowest positions as the Li Xinwei, who is from the ninth rank, and the highest position is the Fenwuwei who is from the sixth rank.

All officers at the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank

All the soldiers who fell into battle will be generous and pampered, and will benefit their descendants.

All civil servants who participated in the decisive battle between the north and the south were exempted from three years of taxes and corvee service. Those who were disabled would be rewarded twice as much. All civil servants who died in the decisive battle would be generous and benefit future generations.

According to the emperor's decree, as long as you participate in this decisive battle between the north and the south, ordinary soldiers can at least get a position of a scattered official from the ninth rank. And those who are officials can at least be promoted to one level. This is a real benefit. Although the scattered official has a name but no official position, it is used to indicate the rank of the official, and the rank of the official position determines your status, identity and treatment in the officialdom, and determines your lifelong achievements. In comparison, the official, that is, the bureaucrats responsible for specific things, can enjoy the power and wealth it brings when you are in power, but once you are no longer in power, it is nothing.

The emperor's reward won the cheers of all the soldiers and civilians participating in the war, and his authority reached a peak that had never been seen before after the decisive battle between the north and the south.

In the early morning of September 28, Galan received a secret decree from the emperor at the White Wolf Pass.

The emperor could not hide his joy after the victory in the edict, and praised Galan very much. At the same time, he also expressed his gratitude to Galan for taking responsibility for failing to completely wipe out the northern captives.

He must thank Galan for the final battle. If he continues to fight, both sides will be defeated and both will be destroyed. This result will definitely bring a catastrophic blow to the situation in the north and south. However, for the dignity of the empire, for the authority of himself and the central government, and for the bloody murder of the imperial army and civilians, he cannot negotiate peace, and cannot give up the Beilu. In this unfavorable situation, Galan's "negligence" gave Beilu a way to escape, and at the same time saved the imperial emperor, saved the imperial army, saved the situation in the north and south, and successfully completed the national defense and diplomatic strategy formulated by the emperor and the center.

However, Galan's "negligence" will give the opponent an excuse to attack both military and politically, and the emperor and the central government cannot use this as a reason to punish Galan to hurt the hearts of the imperial soldiers, so this will inevitably bring some trouble to the emperor and the central government. Fortunately, Galan is very clear about the righteousness and has high political wisdom, so he resolutely assumed the responsibility alone.

Since he took responsibility, he would be punished. Although Galan was the first hero to win this decisive battle between the north and the south, the emperor and the center must clearly reward and punish to maintain the authority of the central government. Therefore, Galan could only offset his merits and demerits and could only leave the northern border.

In the edict, the emperor gave Jia Lan three choices: the first choice was to leave the army, go to the Central Government office, temporarily hide the edge, wait for the time to be ripe, and then go to the Wei Mansion to serve as the commander; the second was to stay in the army, and serve as the Hu Ben General in a certain Wei Mansion in the capital. He was temporarily dormant, and wait for the time to be ripe, then he served as the commander again and led his army to quell the rebellion; the third was to stay in the army, but since he could not stay in the northern border, he went to the western border and returned to the Xitu Town and garrison.

The emperor's three choices for Galan have a profound meaning, which is far from what is seen in the edict.

After reading this secret edict, Xue Shixiong and Yang Gongren looked at each other speechlessly.

The wood is so beautiful that the wind will destroy it. A young general like Galan, who is arrogant, domineering but lawless, but extremely talented, will surely be on the spotlight after becoming famous in the decisive battle between the north and the south, and will also be feared by all forces in the court. The emperor is particularly uneasy. It is not that the emperor does not trust him, but is worried that he will not be able to command this sharp knife like an arm. The knife can hurt others and himself, especially a rebellious bloodthirsty knife like Galan, which will lead to unimaginable consequences once it loses control.

The emperor's plan next was to deepen reform and accelerate the pace of centralization. For this reason, he needed to further curb and crack down on conservatives in the court, but blindly curbing and cracking down on them will inevitably intensify the conflicts between the two sides and trigger greater and more intense conflicts. Therefore, the emperor also needs to find ways to compromise and tolerate in order to ease the conflicts, ease the conflicts, and ensure the stability of the political situation. If you want to ensure the advancement of reform, you must have a stable political situation.

Galan is the emperor's sword and a powerful weapon for the emperor to deter opponents with force. However, holding the weapon in his hand is too dangerous, it may kill too much and may hurt himself. Therefore, it must be hidden deep in the knife box so that it can truly act as a deterrent.

It cannot be said that the emperor is killing the donkey, nor can it be said that the emperor is cunning and killing the rabbit and the lackeys. This is a necessary political means. There is no blame.

Xue Shixiong and Yang Gongren dared not give advice to Jialan randomly because they could not understand the emperor's true intentions. They did not know whether the emperor drove Jialan out of the army, wanted to hide Jialan or sent a signal of compromise to the opposition in the court.

Galan was very calm. It seemed that she had made a decision.

Yang Gongren asked, "Garan. How do you make a decision?"

"Go back to the west. Go back to somebody's home."

Galan's tone was very firm, and there was a vague sense of ease from the nightmare. "I had made an agreement with Ashina Nishu to see you for ten years, but my fate was unpredictable. I returned to Middle Earth for less than four years. Then I embarked on the road to home. Thank the emperor! Thank the soldiers of the empire! Thank the relatives who gave a certain life! It is because of your existence that I understood this world, my life was reborn in Nirvana, and I had the confidence and courage to embark on the road to home. I fought for the last breath to protect Middle Earth, the empire, the emperor, and the relatives!"

Galan was excited, her hoarse voice suddenly choked, and tears filled her eyes.

When he was guarding the beacon tower in Tulunchuan, when he was nostalgic for the poplar in autumn by the Qiemo River, when the years of the ancient city of Loulan were gone, he swore in a naive and ideal manner that after he arrived in Middle-earth, he should have the ability to change history, save the Sui Empire, and turn the tide down. However, reality shattered his dreams, and the truth destroyed his ideals. Today, he has made great achievements in military affairs, and he is in a high position. When he looks back, he suddenly finds that he is deeply trapped in a cage, with no freedom, no autonomy, and has no desire but lacks strength. He can only watch the empire collapse, and is in vain and sad.

The gap between reality and ideal is like the Tulun River from Dongdu to Tulun River, which is tens of thousands of miles away, while dreams are like flowers in the moon water in the well, and there is no possibility of realization.

Galan wanted to cry, cry for Middle Earth, cry for the empire, cry for thousands of innocent creatures. I worked hard, I tried my best, but I still couldn't save you.

Galan's tears rolled down.

Yang Gongren stared at Jialan, feeling inexplicably sad and sighed sadly.

Xue Shixiong was also filled with mixed feelings and sighed with caressing his beard.

Where can the knife be placed to exert its deterrence to the extreme?

The knife cannot be placed around you where everyone can see it, because over time, both the person wearing the sword and the person who fears this knife gradually turn a blind eye to it, and even forget it one day.

Therefore, the knife must be placed in a person's heart, and it cannot be dispersed like a nightmare. Over time, it becomes a nightmare and makes people feel panic.

How can I put the knife into a person's heart?

How can we maximize the deterrence of Galan, Asura?

The emperor's method was to put Galan in the west and place it was tens of thousands of miles away from the eastern capital. He would come and fight when he came. When he fought, the heads would roll and blood would flow into a river.

On the sixth day of the 10th month, the emperor arrived in Taiyuan.

The emperor ordered the position of deputy ambassador of Northeastern Road of Jialan, the position of Yanbei headquarters was abolished, and the position of Hu Ben Lang General led the former Long Guard troops to station in Taiyuan.

Almost at the same time, Wang Xuba, Wei Daoer and other leaders of Yan and Zhao's rebel army led their troops back to Taihang Mountains.

On October 22, the emperor returned to Dongdu.

The Eastern Capital held a grand ceremony to welcome the emperor's triumphant return.

In mid-November, the emperor ordered that Jialan be the right guard general to command the Hexi Army, one of the three major corpses in the northwest, to guard Hexi and the counties in the Western Regions.

Jialan received the order and led the old subordinates of Longwei to set off today.

The Northwest Wolf brothers and the Northwest soldiers cheered and returned home, and finally returned home.

Jialan hurriedly wrote to Wencheng in Hedong, bid farewell to Mrs. Gao, and wrote to Su Hexiang: Asu, let's go home.
