Wuyi Jieshan took Zhang Shanfu to Xingqing Mansion and was then escorted directly into the palace.
Seeing his appearance, the Xixia ministers angrily rebuked:
"Not Yijiishan, you and Brother Ning Ling conspired to assassinate the late king, and you still dare to come back?"
Wu Shijie Shan did not feel guilty at all, and retorted confidently:
"Fart, if I had conspired with Brother Ning Ling, I would have put him on the throne long ago. Why would I vote for the Song people?"
Everyone was speechless for a moment, you can't even say it, as if you are not guilty of taking refuge in the Song Dynasty.
Wu Zang and Pang said gloomily:
"The Song army is about to attack Xingqing Mansion. What are you doing here now? Do you want to cooperate with the Song people inside and outside to gain the capital of our country?"
Bu Yi Jie Shan smiled and said:
"Uncle Guo, I didn't come back empty-handed. Generalissimo Zhang Shanfu of the Song Army is in my hands."
When everyone heard this, their spirits were suddenly shaken. Wu Zangying Pang quickly asked:
"Are you serious?"
Wuyi Jieshan said: "The person is outside the palace. If uncle Guo doesn't believe it, he can bring him up and check it out for himself."
When Zhang Shanfu was brought to the main hall, all the officials were in an uproar and said happily:
"Great, with Zhang Shanfu in hand, the Song army will definitely be wary."
Brother Wei Mingwei saw everyone was in high spirits, shook his head and said:
"Don't be too happy, everyone. Although we have captured Zhang Shanfu, his role is not very big."
"Now that the arrow is on the string, it is impossible for the Song Army to stand still because of him!"
Without hiding, Pang laughed and said:
"Zhang Shanfu is the brother-in-law of the Emperor of Song Dynasty and the nephew-in-law of Empress Dowager Liu. He is extremely favored."
"The Song court may not care about his life or death, but do Cao Bin and the Yang family dare to ignore his life? Aren't they afraid that the Song emperor will bear a grudge?"
"What's more, without Zhang Shanfu, the Song army will be leaderless, and its combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced!"
Seeing that they had been discussing for half an hour and asking themselves many questions, he felt that the heat was coming, so he knelt down directly on the ground, kowtowed upward and said:
"Your Majesty, I made a mistake on my trip and mistakenly trusted the people of Song Dynasty. Now I have found my way back. I am going to use this merit to pay for my previous crimes."
The Empress Dowager Wu Zang looked at him with some embarrassment, unable to make a decision.
Brother Wei Mingwei pondered for a moment and said:
"Although Patriarch Wu Yi has meritorious service, his previous crimes are not minor. You will stay in the post house first, and we will make arrangements after we discuss it!"
After sending Mu Yiji Shan away, the Empress Dowager Mu Zang asked:
"Is it credible that we can't move all the mountains?"
Brother Wei Mingwei pondered for a moment and said:
"If he can capture Zhang Shanfu, there should be no lies!"
"But now is the critical moment of life and death for me, Daxia, so we must not be careless."
"Give him a casual position first and send someone to spy on him..."
Bianliang, Tokyo, is as prosperous as ever, and the streets are full of buying and selling vendors.
It was very lively with passers-by, merchants, people coming and going, and busy traffic.
At this moment, a knight suddenly rushed into the city at high speed, without any regard for the capital's laws prohibiting riding horses.
While he was urging his horse hard, he shouted loudly:
"Great victory in the northwest! Great victory in the northwest!"
"Our army conquered Lingzhou, beheaded 30,000 people, defeated 100,000 enemies, and destroyed Xia today!"
This was Tong Guan's special order, and he asked the postmen to report the victory and shout all the way to Beijing.
Now from the northwest to the capital, the people in the state capitals along the way have learned about the great victory in the northwest.
When the people heard this, they almost didn't react, but then they became uproar.
How long has it been since Song Dynasty heard such exciting news?
Although the people of Bianjing were very enthusiastic and hoped that all barbarians would surrender.
But since the time of Taizong, the greatest victory of the Song Dynasty was to resist the invasion of other countries and suppress the rebellion.
Xixia was a country that was listed as the mortal enemy of the Song Dynasty along with the Liao Kingdom. It always had more victories than defeats against the Song Dynasty.
This kind of war to destroy the country can be said to be the most exciting news in recent decades.
For a time, literati and common people rushed to tell each other and celebrated with each other.
Zhao Fujin was also wearing men's clothing at this time and was shopping with his friends. After hearing the news, he was very happy and couldn't help but sigh to his friends:
"Cao Bin is so awesome. He actually won another battle! I'm afraid he will be promoted again."
Her friend said speechlessly:
"Fujin, I have told you a long time ago that calligraphy and painting are just a skill."
"Just because he paints well does not necessarily mean he is a good fighter. How can you be sure that he won the battle?"
As she spoke, she took a few pieces of cloud cake from the roadside food stall and said:
"I think this battle was fought by the female generals of the Yang family."
Zhao Fujin didn't want to argue with her, so he sighed and said:
"If Cao Bin gets promoted, I'm afraid my father will be angry again."
The friend couldn't help laughing:
"I heard that all your family's money was stolen by Cao Bin?"
As he said that, he was about to take out the copper coins to pay, but the vendor said:
"No need, gentlemen. Today I will give you this cloud cake for free to celebrate my victory in the Song Dynasty..."
Before he could finish speaking, a young scholar happened to hear him and interrupted with a cold "hum":
"Ignorant people, do you know how much food it will cost the court once the war starts?"
"Using violence to fight violence will only intensify the conflict between the two ethnic groups, and the northwest border will not be stable in the future!"
When Zhao Fujin and the other three heard this, they were stunned. What did this guy mean? Is it necessary to treat the enemy with some influence?
The vendor blushed and said:
"Master, please leave. I won't sell this cloud cake to people like you."
The scholar didn't care, smiled and shook his head and said:
"Ignorant and ridiculous, Zhao is just a waste of time talking to you and others!"
After saying that, he left as if no one else was around.
Zhao Fujin said speechlessly: "Who are these people?"
Friend said:
"Ignore him, this kind of person has a brain problem. If the two countries are at war, they will be the first to surrender!"
In the palace, the emperor also received the report.
While watching, he nodded and laughed loudly:
"It's so happy, so happy."
"Previously, with the fire attack, Juncai annihilated 80,000 Xixia elites. Now, with the water attack, 100,000 were wiped out."
"I have observed that a man's talent and military skills are comparable to those of famous generals in ancient times."
Fu Bi and others were also very happy. During the New Deal period, achieving such a record was extremely encouraging.
When Wang Yanling saw that the emperor only mentioned Cao Bin and not the Yang family, he couldn't help but remind him:
"Guan family, the female generals of the Yang family are also involved in this water attack strategy."
The emperor waved his hand and said impatiently:
"There is no need for Prime Minister Wang to remind you. Don't worry, I will never forget their contribution."
At this time, the emperor suddenly saw Zhang Shanfu's performance and couldn't help but said furiously:
"Zhongzhonghou has disappointed me so much. He had 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers under his command, but now there are only more than 10,000 left?"
"This bastard thing..."
When he saw that only 110,000 or 20,000 of the nearly 300,000 Song troops were left, his face twitched with pain.
Although the end of Xia was imminent, the losses suffered by the Song Dynasty were really crippling.
Now he regrets letting Zhang Shanfu lead the army.
After thinking for a long time, he said:
"I decree that Marshal Zhang Shanfu be dismissed from his post, and for the time being let...Cao Bin and the Yang family jointly command the army."
"Let Zhang Shanfu return to Beijing to accept his guilt!"
At this moment, a guard ran in and reported:
"Officials, Xiongzhou Jiyi Division urgently reported that the Liao Kingdom suddenly gathered 300,000 troops and marched south, with unknown intentions."
Hearing this, the emperor's good news fell to the ground...
