Seeing that Dingding Gate was in ruins and no one was guarding it, Hu Jiaoxiu sighed: "I wonder how prosperous Luoyang City was back then! It was destroyed in just a few years. Wouldn't it be a sigh? Isn't it? I'll return to the court today and hope that the glory of the past will be reappeared soon."

As he spoke, he rode his horse into Luoyang City with Zheng Chen.

When Wang Xiaoli got the news, he hurriedly came out from the government office. When he saw Hu Jiaoxiu and Zheng Chen, he hurriedly said, "I thought you would only arrive in Xijing tomorrow, but I didn't expect that today would be here. Don't blame me if I didn't welcome you!"

Hu Jiaoxiu said: "We heard of the great victory in Shanzhou on the way, and we were extremely happy and we specially accelerated our journey. The general of Jie led a large army to fight against Xijing, which was a great victory that had never been seen since Jingkang. The court heard the news and was very surprised. We ordered the two of us to congratulate Jieshuai and reward him."

After saying that, before Wang Xiaoliu answered, Hu Jiaoxiu said again: "However, although restoring Xijing is a great achievement, it is nothing compared to the great victory in Shanzhou. I wonder when Jishuo has time to go and offer prisoners and face the saint?"

Wang Xiaohunting said: "War is terrible, where can I go? Ten days later, Li Yanxian will go on a journey to offer prisoners."

Hu Jiaoxiu said: "It is also true. After the Jin thieves were defeated in Shanzhou, they may set up a large army to attack the west of Beijing. Here they will be in charge of the commander of the Jieshou."

After chatting for a few words, Wang Xiaoliu brought Hu Jiaoxiu and Zheng Chen into the government office.

In the official hall, Hu Jiao studied the imperial edict and asked Wang Xiaoli to seal it. He said: "I happened to learn about the great victory in Shanzhou on the way. I felt embarrassed to take out the imperial edict. Maybe, if you can't live much, the imperial edict will definitely be given."

Wang Xiaoli hurriedly said that he didn't dare. He asked Hu Jiaoxiu and Zheng Chen to rest first, and held a banquet to welcome them to the evening.

When the Xijing was recovered, Wang Xiaoli's official position was promoted. He was specially appointed as the governor of Zhongwu Army, the north and north roads in the west of the capital, the Shang and Guozhou, and the governor of Henan Prefecture. He was specially appointed as the founding marquis of Xuchang County, with a fief of 1,500 households and a 600 households. Compared with the past, his territory was expanded, and his title was promoted to the founding marquis of marquis of marquis of rank.

However, since it has been my own development and has not received any help from the court, these have no meaning to Wang Xiaoli. It can only be said that when you meet other officials, others should respect their positions here.

When he arrived at his residence, Hu Jiaoxiu said to Zheng Chen: "Jings have been re-occupied with Luoyang for some days, but the government office is still so dilapidated. It seems that the war is busy and we are not interested in it. After we go back, we will report to the Ming court to show our patriotic spirit."

Zheng Chen said: "Yes. Not only Henan Prefecture, but Luoyang City also seemed a little too declining. When we entered the city, we saw that there were no pedestrians on the street and there were farmland not far from the Prefecture. This is Xijing, which is so far!"

Hu Jiaoxiu nodded and couldn't help but sigh.

Xijing Luoyang was once the second largest city in the world. In just a few years, most of the household registration has been lost, and pavilions and towers have become farmland. How can it not make people sad?

Seeing that it was almost evening, Wang Xiaoli set up a dinner party to greet the two envoys. He specially called Chen Yuyi to accompany him.

Hu Jiaoxiu and Chen Yuyi were both children of aristocratic families and had a friendship before. After the Jingkang Rebellion, the two met again and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Everyone sat down, and Wang Xiaoliu said, "Sir Hu and Chief Zheng came to Xijing thousands of miles away. I am very grateful. You have worked hard all the way. Tonight, prepare a meeting with you guys. The wine and food are simple, don't be surprised!"

Hu Jiaoxiu said: "We came thousands of miles away and arrived near Luoyang. We happened to hear about the great victory in Shanzhou. Is it God's will that? Jishuai was in Xiangyang for several years, worked hard to govern and wait for the dawn, and finally restored Xijing. I hope Jishuai will serve the court with all his heart and achieve great success in his military achievements!"

"How dare you, how dare you?" Wang Xiaoli raised his wine glass and drank it all with everyone.

I talked about some gossip, and after three rounds of drinking, I slowly returned to the situation.

Hu Jiaoxiu said: "After the great victory in Shanzhou, I wonder what Jishuai's plan is? The Jin general Saliyu heard that he was mainly focused on several routes in the northwest, and only Wushu was left on the line of Sichuan and Shu. If Jishuai's army advances westward and joins the Sichuan and Shu army to encircle Wushu, he will be able to make another great contribution!"

Wang Xiaoliu said: "Zhang Shumi mainly fought against the Jin army in several Qinfeng prefectures. Liangzhou has not many soldiers, so how easy is it to join Wushu?"

Hu Jiaoxiu said: "Jing Zheng's army advanced westward. Calculate the days, it was time for Zhang Shumi's army to enter eastward. And it was summer now, and the Jin army was afraid of heat."

Wang Xiaoli said: "Bachelor, I'm just talking nonsense. The two-way matches look good, but in fact they are useless. If my troops are not in Jingzhao Prefecture, Wushu can go north and go to Yan'an Prefecture to Hedong Road. We occupy Guanzhong, and it seems that many prefectures and counties are occupied, but the front line has also been lengthened a lot. The Jin army abandoned Guanzhong, and it seems that they lost territory, but in fact the front line is more concentrated. The key here is that I can't destroy the Jin army, and they can escape unscathed. Just like a human hand, it is five fingers to stretch out, and it is easier to chop off one finger. If the finger is retracted, it is a fist. It is much more difficult to deal with a fist than a finger."

Hu Jiaoxiu seemed to understand but nodded and said, "What Jishuai said makes sense. But now my advantage lies in me, wouldn't it be a pity if I don't attack?

Wang Xiaoliu said: "There are not many people in the Jurchen tribe, and after all, there are only 150,000 soldiers and 160,000. He is the whole people, and his troops are not more than 200,000 troops. In the battle of Shanzhou, more than 200,000 are annihilated, but now it is less than 180,000. Our eyes must be fixed on the 180,000 people of the Jin army. We must fight an annihilation war, not to fight a defeat. If the defeat war, it seems that it will win, and the Jin people will withdraw, and the troops will actually become more and more concentrated. In the end, if they gather together, the battle will be difficult to fight."

Hu Jiaoxiu looked at Zheng Chen and then at the others. He said, "What Jishuai said seems to make sense. But since ancient times, I have never heard of fighting like this."

Wang Xiaolei said: "Others don't fight like this because they occupy the territory, so they have money and food, and their military resources. The Jurchens are not Han people, and they are useless even if they occupy the territory. As long as we persist in fighting, the Han people will not become the Jurchen soldiers."

This issue is actually very complicated. If the resistance of the Song Dynasty was not tenacious, then there would always be a traitor regime in the territory occupied by the Jurchens. The Han people could not become soldiers of the Jurchens, but they could become soldiers of the traitor regime. In the long run, their power would still increase and decrease.

The key to the problem is that the Song Dynasty cannot surrender. As long as the Song Dynasty does not surrender, the Han uprisings in the occupied areas of the Jin army will continue to revolt, which will consume the Jin army. When the Song Dynasty stabilizes within and re-establishes the army, the offensive power will be enhanced. One day, the Song Dynasty will be able to accumulate enough power and fight back.

Zhao Gou's biggest problem in history was surrender. He gave the Jin Dynasty twenty years to integrate the resources in the occupied areas and eliminate the opposition forces. By the time Song Xiaozong wanted to fight the Northern Expedition, he was already powerless.

Hu Jiaoxiu never thought about what Wang Xiaoli said. After a while, he said: "What does the Jishuai want to do next?"
