Chapter 61: The King is here!

Since Shi Jingtang stolen the country and ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Liao Kingdom, many benevolent and ambitious people have been taking over the sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and have sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. Zhou Shizong and Song Taizong successively dispatched large troops to fight against the Khitan, but the result was still not taken back.

During the Northern Expedition of Zhou Shizong, his troops conquered the three passes without bloodshed. When he was in sight, he suddenly passed away, causing great opportunities to be lost.

Although Emperor Taizong of Song once fought outside Youzhou City, he eventually had to suffer a great defeat and fled in a donkey cart.

Since then, the Song Dynasty never sent troops to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Not only did it not go deep into Yanyun, but it suppressed the Liao Kingdom for hundreds of years, and gave up annual monies to the Liao Kingdom, and lost all its face.

This battle is of great significance. This is the first victory that the Song Dynasty army has achieved since the failure of Emperor Taizong of Song's Northern Expedition. This is also a declaration, which declares that the Chinese army has appeared in the land of Yanyun again, sweeping away the previous decline.

"Long live the Song Dynasty!"

The soldiers cheered in unison, cheered, danced and laughed, venting their joy in the way they could think of. They cheered for more than half an hour before they stopped.

Wu Ji rode his horse in the Song army, looking at his face full of joy, and couldn't help but feel very happy. He raised his right arm and shouted loudly: "Brothers, do you know? This battle is the best battle that the Song Dynasty has fought since the Northern Expedition of Emperor Taizong's official family. Fortunately, we fought in Yanyun! It's good that we were fighting a field battle with Liaogou! We have no cities and no defense. We defeated Liaogou in offense. We are proud! You can proudly tell your children and grandchildren that you participated in this battle! You have participated in the best battle against Liaogou for hundreds of years!"

What Wu Ji said was all facts. The soldiers were more enthusiastic, their faces were full of pride, and they waved their arms to cheer: "Long live the Song Dynasty!"

"Brothers, I order you to set out immediately and spread the news of this victory throughout Yanyun Land, and tell the elders and villagers of Yanyun Land: The King is back!" Wu Ji waved his right hand and ordered loudly.

"The King's Army is back!" The soldiers cheered and rushed to various places under the leadership of various generals.

Another task for this plunder is to announce the news of the arrival of the Song army to the people of Yanyun. The reason why I didn't do it a while ago was because it would be dangerous to disperse the troops too much. Now that such a great victory has been achieved, it is time to divide the troops.

It can be imagined how happy the people in Yanyun land would be when this news spread throughout Yanyun land.

Wu Ji led the Converted Army and embarked on the road of propaganda.

"Commander of Wudu, why don't we go to attack Zhuozhou?" A soldier from the convertible army was full of red face and was busy giving advice.

"Yes! We just defeated Liaogou, and Zhuozhou is empty. If we fight, it will definitely shock Liaogou." This proposal immediately attracted a lot of echoes.

Zhuozhou was the strategic base for the Liao Dynasty to attack the Song Dynasty. If it was captured by the Song army, the consequences would be very serious and would cause a major earthquake in the Liao Dynasty's government and the opposition.

"Zhuozhou is not that easy to capture." Wu Ji shook his head and said, "We are not prepared, so it is not easy to capture Zhuozhou. Besides, although Yelu Zhao was defeated, there are more than 100,000 Liaogou in Yanyun's land, and we have not yet killed half of it. If we rashly attack Zhuozhou, it will be more than worth the loss."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "If we stop our troops under the strong city and the Liaogou reinforcements arrive, we will be attacked from both sides and may be defeated. Instead of doing so, it is better to continue to plunder and obtain more spoils."

This is the truth. Although the Song army went deep into the Liao territory to plunder, it was not too optimistic. The reason is very simple. Zhuozhou was the strategic base for the Liao Kingdom to attack the Song Dynasty. It had a high city and thick walls, which were easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the Song army was not prepared, it would be likely to be defeated and lose the achievements it had achieved.

"The commander of the Wu capital, you can't attack Zhuozhou. If you think about it, you feel very uncomfortable." The soldiers of the Congxin Army were extremely regretful.

"Don't be anxious, there are some fighting." Wu Ji looked at the soldiers, all of whom were excited. It was obvious that they had not yet been satisfied with the battle: "This time we can't fight Zhuozhou, it doesn't mean we can't fight in the future. One day, we will take Zhuozhou, conquer Youzhou, and take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun."

"Haha!" The soldiers of the Converted Army let out a burst of laughter, straightened their chests, and were full of confidence.

Since the failure of Emperor Taizong of Song's Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty's army has never appeared in Yanyun again. Now, the Song army has not only arrived, but has also won a series of victories, which has made their morale high and their confidence a hundred times, and they believe what Wu Ji said more than ever.

According to the current trend, it is only a matter of time before the Song Dynasty takes back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

"Report to the capital of Wu, there are many people in front of him." A detective cavalry rushed over and reported to Wu Ji.

"But Liao Gou?" Wu Ji raised his eyebrows.

"No. It's the Yanyun people." The detective cavalry then reported.

"Oh! Let's go and have a look." Wu Ji pulled the reins of the horse, galloped forward.

After a while, a large group of people in front were rushing towards him quickly. When Wu Ji saw that it was really Yanyun people, they ran as fast as the trend.

"The King is here!"

"The King is here!"

From afar, I heard the cheers of the people.

The saying "The King is here" contains endless joy. If you calculate it carefully, it is really hard to come by.

During the Northern Expedition of Zhou Shizong, the troops were conquered three passes without bloodshed. Victory was in sight. The Marshal of the Liao Kingdom stationed in Youzhou was scared and evacuated Youzhou. As long as Zhou Shizong's army arrived, the troops could be conquered without bloodshed. However, what is regrettable is that at this critical moment, Zhou Shizong passed away.

During this period, when the people of Yanyun heard that the Zhou Shizong army was about to arrive, they were all excited and ready to open the door to welcome the royal army. No one expected that this result would be the result that made them feel regretful and lost.

By the time of Emperor Taizong of Song, the Song army launched a large-scale northern expedition and sent many troops. At the beginning, the Song army won many victories and made it smoothly, which made the people of Yanyun happy and responded to the king's army. Unexpectedly, when the Song army arrived in Youzhou, it was defeated and all the victories were gone.

Since then, there has never been a northern expedition again. Hundreds of years have passed, and the royal army that the people of Yanyun, who had been looking forward to for hundreds of years, finally appeared in front of them, and it is impossible to make the people of Yanyun unhappy.

They ran and cried, which was excited. The hope of hundreds of years finally came true at this moment. Who can not be excited?

"The King is here!"

"The King is here!"

Cheers sounded one after another, although there were not many people, but they had touching power.

Wu Ji's nose was sore, and he pulled the reins of the horse. The horse stopped, jumped off the horse's back, and rushed towards the people.

With a "hula", Wu Ji hugged several excited people. They hugged Wu Ji tightly, as if they were their biggest treasure, but no one spoke, and some were just crying.

"Woooo!" The people cried so hard that their tears fell, but their faces were filled with joyful smiles.

This is a manifestation of true feelings, with great power. The Converted Army jumped off the horse, ran towards the people, hugged each other, cried together, and cried together.

The crying sounded throughout the world, making people cry, but the joy filled the world.

"You are finally here!"

"We'll wait for you for a hundred years! One hundred years!"

After a while, the Yanyun people finally spoke.

"We're late and you're suffering."

At this moment, the soldiers were particularly guilty of themselves. Why didn’t they come early? Why did they let the people suffer for more than a hundred years?

"It's great if you come! It's great if you come!"

The people of Yanyun had no intention of blame, but instead comforted the soldiers, which moved the soldiers even more.

This is a marriage recognition conference. Although it is not a relative, it is better than a relative. I don’t know how long it took, but my excitement finally calmed down.

"We finally hope you!" An old man took Wu Ji's hand and was so excited that tears flowed on his old face: "My father hopes, my grandfather hopes, my great-grandfather hopes, my Xuanzu hopes... I am better than them, I hope to be the king's army and see the king's army! Woo woo!"

When he said this, Wu Ji's tears came out again.

More than a hundred years, counting in each generation for twenty years, it is five or six generations. This kind of mood is simply hard to tell.

The people pulled the soldiers to their homes and invited them to entertain the soldiers with their best food and the best wine. Wu Ji explained that they could not go, they wanted to fight Liaodogs.

"Liaogou is hateful! But you are late and Liaogou has already escaped. Their military camp has become an empty camp." The people immediately explained the situation.

"Running?" Wu Ji was a little surprised. As soon as he defeated Yelu Zhao, they rushed to plunder, but unexpectedly they were still one step late.

"Haha!" The people burst into laughter and shouted: "Don't look at Liaogou's men who show off their strength on weekdays. In fact, they are also cowards, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. Liaogou can't beat the king's army, so they can only escape."

"How joyful was it to the army of the previous dynasty to attack the Liao dog? The Liao dog almost destroyed the breed. It has been scared for hundreds of years and dared not come out. We often talk about this, which is really satisfying!" Another commoner shouted.

The Song Dynasty could not defeat the Liao Kingdom, and the Yanyun people could not expect the royal army, so they could only comfort themselves with the brilliant achievements of the Tang army.

Under the leadership of the Yanyun people, Wu Ji and his friends rushed to the Liao army's barracks, but they saw that the barracks were empty, not even the shadow of the Liao army. Instead, they left a lot of food and grass and a lot of weapons.

"These are all left by Liaogou. We didn't move, so we should leave them to the king's army." The people hurriedly explained.

Wu Ji raised his eyebrows, and an idea appeared in his heart, saying, "Friends, these food and grass are exploited by Liao Dogs. It is your blood and sweat. You can share it."

"No, no. If the King's Army had not been attacked, the Liaogou would still bully us, so he should have left it to the King's Army." The people hurriedly refused, with a sincere look on their faces.
