One Piece of Song Dynasty

After everyone drank it all, Qu Duan picked up a third glass of wine and said, "With this last glass of wine, we pay tribute to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for this battle. Without their hard work, we would not have won today's victory." .”

After saying that, Qu Duan drank all the wine in one gulp. After drinking the wine, Qu Duan said: "Okay, I've finished three glasses of wine, and I still have more to say. But we can only stop here today. There will be a bigger celebration drink." We will drink again after our Northern Expedition is successful."

"well."

After three glasses of wine, Qu Duan's face was really a little red. After sitting down, Qu Duan used the strength of the wine and said: "Jin Qing, today I am officially going to apologize to you. It is true that I didn't send troops to rescue you in the battle of Pengyuan." It’s someone’s fault, I hope you can be more considerate.”

Wu Jie sighed and said, "It's been many years since this happened. Brother Qu, please don't mention it again."

Qu Duan nodded and said: "Okay, then I won't mention this matter from now on. Even if this matter is over, I don't know what Jin Qing's plans will be later."

Wu Jie replied: "Back to Shaanxi, as the war with the Jin Kingdom progresses, our relationship with the Xia Kingdom may change. Therefore, the prince asked the West Road Governor's Mansion to return to Shaanxi to guard the border after dealing with Sa Lihe. It cannot be I went north with you."

Qu Duan said thoughtfully: "Okay, then I will leave the prisoners and captures in this battle to you to take back. I will take my soldiers to rest in Jiezhou City for two days before continuing northward."

Wu Jie raised his tea cup and said, "Today, I will use tea instead of wine to wish the soldiers of the Central Governor's Mansion a successful Northern Expedition as soon as possible."

Just as the officers and soldiers of the Central and Western Governor's Offices held a grand celebration banquet at the foot of Jiezhou City, Sa Lihe and others had already arrived at Wenxi County with the remaining cavalry.

When they arrived at Wenxi County, Xi Buzhu suggested: "Commander, how about we select some elite soldiers to return to Jiezhou to attack the Song Army. I think the Song Army must be celebrating their victory now, and their defenses must be lax at this time. If we go there at this time, A sneak attack on the Song Army will definitely cause heavy damage to the Song Army."

Peng Xuan on the side also flattered and echoed: "Yes, Marshal, this is the best time to sneak attack the Song Army."

Sa Lihe frowned and said: "That's not right. Wu Jie and Qu Duan are both famous generals of the Song Dynasty. It is impossible not to take precautions. Our army has already suffered a lot of losses. We cannot suffer any more losses. Besides, the soldiers have traveled such a long distance." We are all very tired, so we will rest here in Wenxi County for one night. Tomorrow we will continue our journey to Pingyang Mansion, and send people to deliver messages to the court and Tokyo. The losses in this battle are so huge, we cannot hide them."

After the meeting, Peng Xuan walked out of the Wenxi County Yamen slightly disappointed. He originally wanted to encourage Sa Lihu to select elite soldiers to attack the Song army to further expand the Song army's results, but he did not expect that Sa Lihu could be so calm after experiencing such a disastrous defeat. What a disaster.

On August , Wang Yan, who had crossed the Yellow River, led an army of to the city of Jiezhou. Qu Duan learned that Wang Yan had arrived and went out to greet him personally. By this time, Wu Jie had already led his army back to Shaanxi.

Qu Duan met Wang Yan and said: "General Wang is welcome to come here, but the war here is over. General Wang is here."

Wang Yan explained: "The battle to encircle and annihilate the main force of Sa Lihe is indeed over. I know this. This is not why I came. Liu Shuai asked me to come to let you go north with you. Liu Shuai knows that after this battle at the Governor's Mansion in the middle, The loss must have been considerable, so he asked Liu Shuai to strengthen Qu Shuai's troops. Besides, Liu Shuai had often fought with gold thieves in the Taihang Mountains and was quite familiar with the terrain in the Hedong area. It must be for this reason that Liu Shuai sent Liu Shuai here. Yes, Liu Shuai has already reported this matter to the prince."

Qu Duan said excitedly: "That's great. Liu Shuai thought it through. I was worried about the lack of troops for the subsequent war north. General Wang is here. It really solves my worries."

Wang Yan asked: "Naqushuai, when will we start heading north?"

Qu Duan replied: "Tomorrow the whole army will set off northward, targeting Pingyang Prefecture, followed by Fenzhou and Taiyuan."

While the two were talking, suddenly a messenger came and shouted: "Report, Marshal, the prince has sent an urgent message."

After opening the letter, Qu Duan was shocked and said: "This is really great news, General Wang. It seems that our central governor's office has to work hard."

Wang Yan was puzzled and said: "Shuai Qu, what did the prince say in the urgent letter?"

Qu Duan handed the letter to Wang Yan and said, "General Wang, please read it yourself."

Wang Yan was shocked after reading it and said: "This"

Qu Duan said with emotion: "Your Majesty's Northern Expedition is really an unprecedented big move. This plan is much bigger than what I originally expected."

In Jingzhao Prefecture, after Liu Fa received Li Xin's letter, he thought about it and immediately made adjustments to the deployment of troops. The Guanshi Ancient Department was stationed in Lanzhou for rest and defense, Tian Sheng's Department was stationed in Jishi Prefecture for defense, and Jia Shifang's Department was stationed. Xinhui Prefecture was deployed, Guo Hao's troops were stationed in Zhenrong Prefecture, Sun Wo marched from Qingyang Prefecture to Huanzhou, and Liu Fa himself was preparing to take troops to Pingliang Prefecture.

After sending these orders one by one, Liu Fa sent another letter to Wu Jie, handing Qingyang Prefecture, Baoan Prefecture, Yan'an Prefecture, Suidezhou, Jiazhou and other places to Wu Jie for defense.

When Wu Jie received Liu Fa's letter on his way back to the army, he immediately summoned the generals for a meeting and said: "Everyone, you should have read Liu Shuai's letter. Your Majesty's Northern Expedition plan is a big plan that will create history. I think due to the drastic changes in our war with the Jin Kingdom, our relationship with the Xia Kingdom must have become very delicate. Now I have made arrangements. Yang's Ministry of Government is stationed in Qingyang Mansion, Li Shiyan's Ministry is stationed in Baoan Prefecture, and Yao Zhong's Ministry is stationed in Suidezhou. The commander-in-chief will lead troops to Yan'an Prefecture. Commander Wu Li will give you troops to recapture Jiazhou from the Jin people and garrison them there. After all the troops are in place, they will rest and reorganize, and recruit troops on the spot to supplement the troops damaged in this battle. "

The generals clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Commander."

Not only were Qu Duan and others surprised by Li Xin's Northern Expedition plan, but when Li Xin's entire Northern Expedition plan was revealed, everyone was shocked, and then there was a nationwide carnival. When the news of Fang's victory reached Lin'an, people Everyone cried with joy, especially those common people and scholars who fled from the north to the south after the Jingkang disaster, because they knew they could finally go home this time.

After Li Qingzhao heard the good news in Lin'an, he was so excited that he took Xing'er to Zhao Mingcheng's tomb.

In front of Zhao Mingcheng's tomb, Li Qingzhao shed tears while burning paper: "Mingcheng, you know, we can finally go home, we can finally go back to Qingzhou. Yesterday, good news came from the front line. The prince led me to defeat the King of the Song Dynasty." The gold thieves who invaded from the south went north. Not only that, Yanyun was also recovered by our Song Dynasty. Mingcheng, you know what this means. It means that the land occupied by the gold thieves will be taken back by the prince this time. Yesterday it was me This is the happiest day in the past few years. When this Northern Expedition is over, I will take you back to Qingzhou Mingcheng."
