The whole capital was immersed in the joy of the Lantern Festival and the great joy of regaining Huangzhou.
People in the capital's market paraded through the streets to spread the news of the Song Army's victory.
Although the Song Dynasty seems to be weak in external martial arts, the common people are different. Every year in the first month of the year, the people in the capital will cheer for the Song Dynasty archer who wins the shooting competition with the Khitan envoys, as if the opponent really defeated the Khitan for the Song Dynasty.
Now that the Song army had succeeded in the first battle, when the news came out about the victory of destroying the country, it was a hundred times better than the victory of shooting. The people in Bianjing rushed to tell each other.
Athletes waved their homemade cloths and made announcements along the streets. Whenever soldiers entered restaurants or restaurants, people would compete with each other to make accounts. Anyone with a Western accent or even a Fanyang hat would be scrambled by the common people. They gathered around to ask about the situation in the northwest.
The common people didn't understand why the entire Qingtang was included in the capture of Huangzhou?
But the people don't care, as long as they win, it's a rare occasion to be happy, and even our officials have a rare occasion to exhale and raise their eyebrows.
Many old people still remember how the Western thief Li Yuanhao bullied the Song Dynasty during the Qing Dynasty.
Later, the Liao Kingdom came to take advantage of the situation and added 200,000 years old coins.
Just in line with that sentence, Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty was the most generous and treated his subjects the most kindly, but he was bullied the most by foreign countries.
From the third year of Xining to the first year of Yuanfeng, the imperial court attacked the Qingtang for eight years. Now the results have finally come, and all the land of the Qingtang has been included in the Song Dynasty.
Any aspiring scholar would not read a few words of the scholar Wan Huhou. Taking advantage of their interest, the scholars would use bowls and chopsticks as armies and wine cups as generals on the wine table. They dipped their chopsticks in wine and drew pictures of the mountains and rivers of the Qing and Tang Dynasties. There was a lively discussion over there.
When some officials heard about it, they felt envious of the capable ministers and famous generals who had come out of Xihe Road in recent years. They were turning purple at a young age. This made them envious of these white-haired humble officials who had not left the sea of election.
Now that the Qing and Tang Dynasties have been decided, it is Xixia's turn, which is the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties even greater than the Qing and Tang Dynasties.
That night, many scholars set their ambitions to write and join the army. Ban Dingyuan and I also had this ambition in the Song Dynasty. How could they be inferior to the ancients?
Bianjing will not sleep tonight.
…
Compared with the joy and celebration of the people and the excitement of the prime ministers, the Hanlin scholars seemed calm.
Wang Lian even said directly: "What nonsense? Without verifying the truth, you will reveal the military information to the world based on the words of an eunuch? What if you are wrong? What you will lose is the face of the official family, and we will also lose the ministers." How can we make up for the loss of our reputation afterwards? Even Liao and Xia will see our jokes."
"It took nearly a month to attack a mere Miaochuan City. Zongge City and Qingtang City are no less than Miaochuan City. Ali Gu still has an army of 100,000! I don't think I'm in a hurry to congratulate you."
Zhang Dun said: "But Sunfutai has already announced it, what else can we do."
"If the revelation is true, how can we not congratulate the officials? Hesitation is a sin."
Han Jiang and all the officials and officials were hesitant. The news of regaining Huangzhou, capturing Ali Gu alive, and Dong Felt's surrender was really shocking.
Even Han Jiang, who had the most confidence in Zhang Yue, was still skeptical.
Of course, for such a great victory, they must congratulate the emperor in person, and the prime minister must lead hundreds of officials to congratulate the emperor the next day.
But there is insufficient evidence at the moment. If He is wrong, that would be wonderful.
It was a big joke, it was really a collective shame from the officials to the governors!
At the moment of doubt, the second envelope arrived. These two seals were jointly issued by Zhang Kai and Zhong Shidao.
The governors all know that generals will do anything they can to seize the opportunity to win.
Li Xian was being cautious. Although he was based in Xizhou, he had been sending people to inquire about the intelligence on the front line, so he waited for the news to come out. Without waiting for Zhang Kai, Master Zhong said that they had written the good news and sent it out first.
Although it was a second-hand victory, Li Xian was the first to win, only an hour faster than Zhang Kai and the others.
Zhang Kai, Zhongshi Dao's second success, was much more concrete than Li Xian.
Only then did the officials understand why Huangzhou was destroyed, Ali Gu was captured, and the entire Qing Tang Dynasty surrendered to the Song Dynasty.
It turns out that Zhang Kai, after Zhongshi Dao conquered Huangzhou.
The Qingtang army with more than 70,000 people led by Ali Gu has dispatched troops from Qingtang City (Xining, the capital of Qinghai Province) and has arrived at the front line of Zongge City (Ping'an District, Haidong City).
Zongge City is located on the upper reaches of Huangshui River, only a few dozen miles away from Miaochuan City (Ledu District, Haidong City). The Qingtang Army was so powerful that its forward could be seen without the Song Army conducting reconnaissance.
The generals of the Song Army thought that there would be heavy casualties after capturing Miaochuan. Since they were guarding the city, they should not rush forward greedily for profit.
At this time, Ali Gu knew that Miaochuan City had fallen and was helpless. The Qing and Tang Dynasties were horrified. Aligu immediately sent envoys to the Song military camp to cede the land west of Keluling to the Song Dynasty to ask for peace.
Seeing Qing Tang's request for peace and his humble words, all the generals thought they could just go down the steps.
However, Zhang Kai instead ordered Wang Fan to attack with 3,000 soldiers. The Qingtang forward collapsed at the first touch, and Aligu had to retreat to Zongge City.
But in the middle of the night, Qiao Zong, the guard of Zongge City, suddenly opened the city gate. Qiao Zong was born in the Qiao family of Lijing City. The third wife of Zusiluo was born from the Lijing Qiao family.
Later, Qiao gave birth to a son, Dong Fean, who is now the nominal head of the Qing Tang Dynasty. Dong Zhan married another wife, also from the Qiao family in Jinglic City.
Qiao Zong used to be a businessman and was captured alive by Zhang Yue. Later, as a courtesy to Zhang Yue, he was given free access to Xihe to do business. Qiao Zong also secretly communicated between Zhang Yue and Dong Xiang. He also served as an envoy on behalf of Dong Fei to persuade Zhang Yue to stop the conquest of Guizhang.
Dong Fei's son Qi Ding was jealous of Ali Gu, and was assassinated by the other party. After that, Ali Gu took charge of major affairs inside and outside the Qingtang Dynasty as his adopted son, bypassing Dong Fei.
Dong Felt ordered Qiao Zong to submit a letter to Zhang Yue, willing to allow the Song Dynasty to eliminate Ali Gu on the condition that the Qing and Tang Dynasties surrender.
Now Ali Gu retreated to Zongge City, but Qiao Zong opened the city gate in the middle of the night, and the Song army from outside the city swarmed in.
Wen Xixin and other Tibetan leaders were originally dissatisfied with Ali Gu, but when they saw Ali Gu being captured alive, an army of 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers was able to surrender or escape.
Dong Zhan immediately offered his petition and soil to submit to the Song Dynasty.
It was indeed a battle that determined the Qing Tang Dynasty, so that the Han people’s homeland, which had been in decline for hundreds of years since the end of the Tang Dynasty, returned to China!
The six prime ministers Han Jiang, Wang Gui, Yuan Jiang, Feng Jing, Xue Xiang, and Zeng Xiaokuan looked at each other. They looked at Lu Bu and it seemed that he had no clever strategic plans or excellent tactical arrangements from beginning to end.
The Song Dynasty spent a lot of effort at Miaochuan City and the attack was extremely difficult. They almost thought that the entire army was going to be annihilated. However, instead, Ali Gu's seven or eight armies were defeated by the Song army in one day, as if they were like a cook and a ox. Take it.
That was an army of 70,000 to 80,000 people, not 70,000 to 80,000 pigs!
Could it be that Zhang Yue, the strategist, had anticipated all this?
There were no unexpected tricks in this battle, but it just came naturally. In the end, it can only be described as being easy and effortless.
Could it be that as the official saying goes, I can only know the depth of Zhang Yue, but not its shallowness.
After confirming Zhang Kai and Zhong Shidao's joint military report, Han Jiang immediately led all the ministers to the Xuande Gate Tower. The ministers should not neglect their mission to report victory to the emperor.
After the prime minister has sued the officials, the officials will also sue the Ancestral Temple and the ancestors of the Song Dynasty.
And Yuan Jiang, Wang Lian, and Li Chengzhi felt extremely excited when they thought that they had to look at Zhang Yue's face at this moment.
…
Because it was a victory, the dance music at Xuande Gate played the big drum of the soldiers returning home after victory, also to suit the occasion.
When the officials wanted to give Zhang Yue a heavy reward, listening to the sonorous and powerful drums, I seemed to see the scene of the Song army sweeping across the Qingtang Dynasty under Zhang Yue's strategizing, beheading generals and seizing the flag, and singing a song of victory.
The red flag, representing our scorching Song Dynasty, stands on the western border.
What merit can be greater than restoring my old land?
I, Zhao Xu, have been on the throne for twelve years, and I have made real contributions to the foundation of my ancestors.
At the towering Xuande Gate, to the sound of majestic drums, sixty-four palace concubines in gorgeous costumes performed dances under the city walls.
The water sleeves are dancing in the air, and each one is graceful and graceful. The so-called beauty of the country, the beauty of the country, the beauty of the country, the geese sinking, and the flowers shying away from the moon are just like this.
No matter who sees this, they all have the feeling that the beauty of the country is under their control. The so-called emperor's heroic ambitions must also be here!
The high-ranking officials and relatives in Duolou on the left and right were all toasting with their glasses and drinking happily. It’s just that if you have wine today, you will be drunk now. Don’t let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon!
The situation was intoxicating, but Zhang Yue stood up very soberly and wanted to play back. The official held his arm and said, "Sit down and talk."
Shi De and all the other servants held their breaths and did not dare to look up at Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue sat down again and said, "I have thanked Your Majesty, but I dare not ask for a reward!"
"Oh?" The official was not surprised at all by Zhang Yue's words. Others wanted to advance, but Zhang Yue wanted to retreat.
You can't be too cautious.
"Why? Please tell me carefully!"
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, three out of thirty of my ministers have already prayed to join the government, which is a great favor from Your Majesty. Su Yijian was only thirty-six years old at the time, and Wang Yigong was thirty-nine years old to join the government."
The officials thought that Zhang Yue was only thirty-five years old now.
As for the youngest person to serve as the prime minister of the country, Wen Yanbo was appointed at the age of forty-three.
"Besides, the jade belly on my waist is a gift from your majesty. That's enough for me."
The official took a closer look and found that the jade belt he had given Zhang Yue from his waist was indeed tied around his waist.
Your Majesty has not forgotten your kindness for a day. Thinking of this, the official said: "How can I not be rewarded for my unparalleled achievements? I..."
At this time, Han Jiang and Wang Gui had already led the governor, and Hanlin arrived.
Zhang Yue immediately stood up and stood aside.
But I saw a group of senior officials in purple saying: "I congratulate Your Majesty, congratulate the country, and congratulate the Great Song Dynasty!"
Seeing Han Jiang, Wang Gui and his prime minister came to congratulate him. The official smiled proudly and waved his sleeves and said, "When Xizhou was captured in the past, Duke Shu wanted to lead hundreds of officials to congratulate him, but I didn't allow it."
"Now I receive your congratulations! As Sun Yong said, I still want to sue the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"
Han Jiang said: "Your Majesty, this will definitely be a highlight in the history of the future!"
Wang Gui said: "Your Majesty swept across the west and shocked the Western Regions. At this moment, everyone is praising His Majesty's immortal achievements in unison!"
The officials laughed heartily when they heard this.
The musicians used hammers to play the chimes, making the sound of yellow bells and big bells.
During the palace music, the official said: "It's all thanks to Zhang Qing's hard work."
"Zhang Qing is a scholar who knows the military, and he is truly an indispensable talent. He plans to win, and attacks must be conquered. The civil servants of this dynasty have stepped in, and their achievements have never been surpassed."
"Jia Zhangyue is the Grand Bachelor of Zizheng Palace, the Founding Duke of Jian'an County, and the Minister of Rites!"
