Without hesitation, Xiao Bin immediately ordered the army to continue marching northwestward.

In the morning of the next day, at about [-] o'clock, the Song army passed by the Liushuwan riverside beach on the east bank of the Hanshui River. Suddenly, countless arrow feathers shot out from the nearby reeds.

Song Jun was shot and suffered heavy casualties. No one including Xiao Bin and Zong Yue thought that Qian Jun would set up an ambush here, and was stunned for a while.

Before the Song Army could react, more than 2 dry troops rushed out of the reeds like wolves and tigers into the Song Army's scattered ranks. In an instant, the unsuspecting Song Army was panicked He was killed and fled in a big rout.

The Gan army took advantage of the situation to chase and kill countless Song soldiers who were killed in the process of escaping, and a large number of Song soldiers jumped into the Han River in a panic. Exhaustion and other phenomena, even people with excellent water skills have a [-]% chance of drowning.

On the embankment, Li Song saw the situation of the Song army fleeing, and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, Xiao Bin's Song army is finished. At least for a few years, the Song army will not be able to cross the river to counterattack. Your Majesty can rest assured. !"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Send the order to capture Xiao Bin alive!"

Chapter 1069

In the early morning, the banks of the Han River are covered with layers of white frost.

In the distance, it is rare that there is no morning exercise in the barracks of the army. Some people are still sleeping in the tents, some people have woken up and run around the camp, and some people have washed up and went to the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks to cook.

The captives were locked in a corner of the camp, and thick trees were used to make the wall around them. The sentries and guards on the wall were strict, and the patrols kept coming and going.

All the captives of the Song army were locked in this temporary camp. A camp that could only accommodate ten people now houses thirty captives.

Before dawn, many prisoners came out of the tents. These people had black eyes and haggard faces. They obviously hadn't slept all night. They were all worried about their future and fate.

Although the Gan army still has rules for treating prisoners, it is not unheard of for the Gan army to kill prisoners. God knows what will happen this time.

There are also big-hearted captives still lying in the tents and sleeping soundly. These people have long since realized that life or death is not something they can decide for themselves. If the emperor of Qian Kingdom wants to kill them, they will do nothing. It's better to lie in the tent and sleep and do nothing.

Not long after, some soldiers of the dry army came over with loads of meals. At the request of the lieutenant of the dry army, the prisoners lined up in order to receive the meals in accordance with the original organizational system.

A group of Ganjun Yazhu led his soldiers and walked over in a line, stopping in front of the two captives.

The two captives were both wearing iron armor, they were clearly Xiao Bin and Zong Yue, and they turned their heads to look at Lord Qianjun Ya.

Gan Junya said: "Xiao Bin, Zong Yue, come with us!"

The captives around quit. They thought that these soldiers were going to drag Xiao Bin and Zong Yue out to chop off their heads. Immediately, someone shouted: "What are you going to do? Since we have surrendered, you can't abuse them." Killing unarmed people!"

Gan Junya said: "The two of them were captured, not surrendered!"

The captives were silent, but someone still shouted: "So what? If you slaughter those who have no resistance, you will definitely be scolded by the world!"

Zong Yue raised his hand and signaled the captives around him to stop talking. Now, people are fighting for the sword and I'm for the fish, and they don't even have the right to speak. Do you still want to be stabbed?If someone chopped you down with a knife, there is no place for you to seek justice!

"You wait well. As a prisoner, you must have the awareness of being a prisoner. Don't pick things up casually, otherwise we will only suffer from it!" Zong Yue walked around Qianjun Yazhu and walked outside the camp after finishing speaking. .

Seeing this, Xiao Bin had no choice but to go along with him, and Ganjun Yazhu led the soldiers to sandwich them between them to prevent them from escaping.

After walking out of the captive camp, Xiao Bin and Zong Yue were taken outside the commander's tent. The two were quickly tied up with ropes by the soldiers, and Xiao Bin and Zong Yue were not brought in until the lieutenant on duty outside the tent went in to report.

"Report to Your Majesty, the enemy has brought Xiao Bin and Zong Yue here!" The tooth master bowed and clasped his fists to report to Zhao Junsheng.

In the commander's tent, Zhao Junsheng, the generals of the various armies, and the ministers and officials who accompanied the army sat on the knees behind a few tables on both sides.

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Here, I believe that Marshal Xiao and General Zong will not lose their minds and make any transgressive actions, so I will untie the rope for you two!"

"No!" Yazhu agreed with bowing and cupping his fists, then turned around and waved to the soldiers behind him: "Untie!"

The soldiers stepped forward to untie the ropes for Xiao Bin and Zong Yue, and then retreated to the side.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Have the two of you ever eaten breakfast?"

Xiao Bin said: "It's come to this point, Your Majesty don't talk about food, it's good to make ends meet! Xiao and Zong Yue were about to receive food when His Majesty sent someone to invite them over."

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Zhen and Zhu Qing didn't eat either, so it happens that Marshal Xiao and General Zong will be together! Kang Yide, set a table for Marshal Xiao and General Zong, and let the kitchen serve the food and drinks!"

"Promise!" Kang Yide promised, and immediately went outside the tent and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, serve wine and food!"

A group of soldiers lined up and walked into the commander's tent one by one to serve wine and food to each table.

Zhao Junsheng said to the generals, ministers, Zong Yue and Xiao Bin: "Going out to march and fight, there is no condition to be too particular. On weekdays, I and you also eat the same as the soldiers, but this time it is different. Fighting It's over, the army will soon return to the court, and I will host a banquet for Zhu Qing to eat today, which can be regarded as a summary of this war, and it is also a reminder of Zhu Qing's efforts and achievements in this war. The credit is affirmed!"

"The year before last, why did I send [-] cavalry into Mobei to fight against Rouran? Because Rouran has been going south every year for decades, and never fell behind in a year, causing countless painful injuries and major losses to the people of the Central Plains." Loss, if I don't fight Rouran, I will have no peace in the northern border!"

"This time, why did I launch a southern expedition? Fighting Bashu is a rare opportunity. Our purpose in fighting this battle is to prepare for the unification of the world as soon as possible. Why do we want to unify the world? To show the great achievements of my Zhao Junsheng? I admit that I have Some great feats, everyone has this problem, especially emperors, but this is not the real reason why I am eager to conquer the world!"

"The greatest achievement of the first emperor was not mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people to build the Great Wall, not ordering people to unify weights and measures and characters, but to unify the world, ending the wars and chaos of hundreds of years since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States. The common people no longer have to suffer from endless wars, and the integration of various ethnic groups in various places has been accelerated!"

"Unification is the general trend, the choice of history, and the aspiration of the people of the world. Anyone who tries to prevent the unification of the world will be crushed by the wheel of history!"

The ministers accompanying the army and the generals of the various armies stood up and bowed to salute one after another, shouting: "Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision and has the common people in mind. I will follow you to the death!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down.

"In this battle, many soldiers died on the battlefield. After a few years, who will remember? The Dagan Dynasty and the 3000 million people will remember! Without them, there would be no peaceful life for the people today, and there would be no Dagan Dynasty The strength of the spirit, please Zhu Qing and I will take up the wine cup to respect these heroic spirits!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he picked up the wine cup and got up and poured the wine on the ground. The general and ministers got up to do so with solemn faces.

After toasting, everyone put down their wine glasses.

Zhao Junsheng waved to Kang Yide next to him: "Let's proclaim the decree!"

Kang Yide came out holding the edict, opened it, and read it. This is an edict that canonized the soldiers who made great achievements in this battle. After the edict was read, all the people who were named were beaming with joy.

"Okay, the business is over, now all the ministers are eating bars!"

All the ministers raised their wine cups to respect Zhao Junsheng, and they respected each other several times.

Zhao Junsheng said to Xiao Bin and Zong Yue: "Marshal Xiao and General Zong, I'm afraid I will invite the two of you to stay with me in Chang'an for a while. I hope you can get used to Chang'an. It happens to be Nanjun in the Southern Dynasty. The princess and son-in-law Chu Yuan are also here, you won't feel lonely if you can get together on weekdays!"

What else can Xiao Bin and Zong Yue say?It is up to them to agree or disagree.

The next day, the army pulled out the battalion division.

Zhao Junsheng was not in a hurry, the army went all the way north, passed Suixian, Xiangyang, Nanyang, Xuchang, Yangzhai and other cities, and then went to Xingyang, then went from Xingyang to Luoyang, and rested in Luoyang for three days.

On the night before leaving Luoyang for Chang'an, Zhao Junsheng asked Lin Jinghui, "Did anything happen to the court in the past six months?"

Lin Jinghui hesitated for a while and replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, nothing happened in the court, and it was relatively stable. It's just that the secret agents of the black guards collected some news that ordinary people gathered around the crown prince, king of Shu, king of Jing, and king of Sui. Officials in the court, speculators, aides, and scholars!"

After hearing this, Zhao Junsheng didn't think it was strange. Now that these princes have grown up, even if they don't fight for the throne, there will naturally be people who will move closer to them and let them participate in the fight for the throne involuntarily in various ways. People don't think about his sons, but bet on their own future and future!

Zhao Junsheng said: "These boys are starting to fight now?"

"There are signs of this, but it's not obvious. They're all petty fights, and most of them are emotional disputes, which don't involve court officials and interests!"

It was already mid-December when the army arrived in Chang'an, not many days before the Chinese New Year.
