Yue Yun killed his enemy and successfully broke through the last obstacle.
Hebule, who was holding his own banner, looked at this scene with an extremely stiff face, while his son Hulan remembered what the man said when he left just now.
He looked at Yue Yun, who was already in an equally miserable state and seemed about to fall down at any moment, without any hesitation in his heart.
"Retreat!" He gave the order on behalf of his father for the first time, and at the same time, he rushed in front of his father and grabbed him.
"Let's go, otherwise my son will be unfilial!"
Looking at Hu Lan in front of him, and then at Yue Yun who was charging forward, looking at the chaotic battlefield, Hebu Le, whose lips squirmed, finally turned his horse's head.
He knew how powerful the Song people were, and also knew that there were many fierce generals in the Song army, so this time he put his own territory at the back just to be on the safe side.
A sufficiently elite force of soldiers and horses was left behind for protection.
But even so, he was actually penetrated through the camp. This scene changed his view of the Song Army's strength again.
"If there had been such a fierce general in Xixia back then, he would not have been in a stalemate with us. The Song Army... a certain family has remembered it!"
In the end, Hebule was not knocked unconscious by his son. He evacuated with the big flag and at the same time fired a thundering arrow into the sky.
As Mingdi took off, a large number of Mongolian cavalry looked at the sky above their heads, and then all looked behind them. The big flag had left its place.
"Broken Queen!"
"rush out!"
"Turn the horse's head!"
In this situation where they should be defeated the most, the Mongolian army still showed its capabilities.
At this time, Hu Tucai took over the command of the army in front. Regardless of Ming Di's instructions to retreat and the evacuation of the army in the rear, he directly fought against the soldiers and horses towards the front even more crazily.
Heda'an and his younger brother Tuduo Yanweit Chijin tried to break through again with the troops on both sides. At this time, the Yue Family Army did not have enough cavalry, so it might be difficult to completely stop them.
As for the final armies at the rear, although Yue Yun penetrated the Mongolian camp, he was obviously unable to encircle them.
Therefore, after the evacuation of Hebul, groups of Mongolian cavalry began to evacuate in an orderly manner.
With the guarantee of Hu Tucian leading his troops to cut off the rear in person, they evacuated the plains leaving only half of their bodies behind. This became the first major defeat for the Mongolian army after they entered Xixia territory.
And this failure also directly led to their complete evacuation.
"These guys will definitely beat up the lost dog. They will not give up this opportunity."
Yue Fei and Hebule sighed almost at the same time, but one was relaxed and happy about his misfortune, while the other was angry with a sad look on his face.
And the facts are just as the two of them guessed, the remnants of Xixia, the remnants of Xiao Heda's Liao Kingdom, and the many tribal rebels who betrayed Xixia.
After they saw Hebule evacuating, they immediately launched an attack on the battlefield.
Of course, their target couldn't be Yue Fei.
Not to mention that the previous brutal fighting gave them a sufficient understanding of the Song Army. Even if the Yue Family Army was exhausted, they were not sure that they could defeat the Yue Family Army.
Not to mention that they all knew that the Song Army still had many soldiers and horses in Xixia. At this time, they were attacking the exhausted Yue Family Army. Did they feel that they were impatient, or did they want to confront Zhao Huan head-on?
In this case, the army quickly encircled and suppressed them. Several soldiers and horses rushed behind the Mongolian army and attacked them like a pack of wolves biting lions...
Or in Yue Fei's eyes, this is more like a pack of wild dogs, constantly biting at enemies that he usually dare not face head-on.
"If there is such an enemy, Xixia will have no worries!"
After seeing this scene, Yue Fei let out a long breath and looked at his son Yue Yun who was also carried down.
Although his heart suddenly twitched, his face remained calm and he calmly waved his hand to let him go down.
But perhaps only he himself knows how worried he is. Yue Yun has already experienced a serious injury before. He has just returned to normal body and cannot withstand another madness.
But looking at the chaotic battlefield and the bleak everything, he couldn't just care about his son.
"Collect the bodies, bury them on the spot, erect a monument, and withdraw the troops!"
Yue Fei issued his final order, and then slowly evacuated here with his troops and horses. At the same time, Zhao Huan in the rear also began to comfort Xixia.
"Your Majesty, the plague broke out in Guazhou, Shazhou and other places, and it has spread in just one month.
Now the two state capitals have almost completely fallen, and many of the people I waited for to collect the corpses have fallen..."
"What did Mr. Zhang say?"
"Many preparations have been made, including hot water, white cloth, spirits, etc., and all the food, clothing, housing and transportation are in accordance with Zhang Gong's advice..."
"I ask you what Mr. Zhang said now. He didn't let you be held responsible here!" Zhao Huan directly interrupted Tong Guan's words, glared at Tong Guan and made him lower his head deeply.
"I'll say it again, I'm still alive, and the Song Dynasty can't be messed up. Keep your thoughts away from me!"
After the threat, Tong Guan knelt down and begged for mercy. At the same time, he did not dare to be clever anymore and just handed Zhao Huan a letter.
That was a petition from Tai Hospital.
"Now that the Western Xia plague is spreading, I would like to ask Your Majesty to seal off the four borders and block people's communication. All the medical apprentices in our hospital are willing to die.
The plague will never leave. "
This is a petition and a suicide note.
As the disaster that finally occurred after the war, Zhao Huan and Zhang Kuo had discussed it countless times before.
Boiling water and spirits, plus isolation, lime, etc., they had all agreed upon these things.
Of course, this is not because Zhao Huan is the emperor, but these things are indeed old rules for treating plague.
Since Zhang Zhongjing's treatise on typhoid and miscellaneous diseases, our ancestors have started various prevention and treatment measures against plague and many other diseases that may cause widespread diseases.
Many of Zhao Huan's ideas are just supplements, and the root is still the same.
But even so, there is still no way to cure it. We can only continue to prevent it, get rid of the corpses, get rid of the people who died of illness, and finally use a method that is close to hanging their lives to save those strong people.
Until the weather is cold or hot, let time slowly heal the plague.
No one knows how much it will cost.
After putting the petition away, Zhao Huan issued the decree again.
"The plague is a natural disaster as well as a man-made disaster. Human intervention is not allowed. It has nothing to do with Mr. Zhang and Taiyuan Hospital. No one can discuss this matter anymore!"
"I order all parties involved to supply it at all costs if the hospital needs it!"
"Three years of field tax and three years of corvée are exempted from Guazhou; five years of tax and three years of corvée are exempted from Shazhou."
A series of orders were quickly recorded by Zeng Ji, who was acting as secretary, and then he immediately drafted a decree and conveyed it.
Tong Guan on the side was still kneeling on the ground and did not dare to speak.
The royal family of Xingqing Mansion had already left, and Zhao Huan had not broken his promise. Since Yue Fei had promised them, Zhao Huan did not expect to do anything to a group of Xixia royal family members.
Kill them to vent your anger?
no need.
A large amount of wealth and food have been left behind, and a large number of people have been gathered and appeased. It is a troublesome thing to keep these guys whether they kill them or not.
Just send them out and wait for the next opportunity.
Various problems began to arise in the Song Dynasty, and the same was true in Xixia.
First, in September, severe famine occurred in various parts of Xixia. Food prices soared, and a liter of rice sold for hundreds of dollars.
This was the result of Zhao Huan's timely intervention. Faced with this situation, Zhao Huan could only take out a lot of grain he had just obtained, and then provide disaster relief to various places and stabilize grain prices.
At the same time, let the Imperial City Secretary investigate. Once you find someone who is trying to make a fortune for the country, there is no need to be polite, just kill him!
At this time, Xixia would not cause public riots just because Zhao Huan killed a few profiteers. If there were really profiteers hoarding, Zhao Huan would really have to thank this guy.
It's a pity that these profiteers really didn't give him a chance. Not only did they not dare to rush to buy food and grass, they also took the initiative to take out some of the food and showed a respectful attitude.
But the problem of food prices here was not over yet. In March of the following year, another strong earthquake occurred in Xingqing Mansion, the capital city. Aftershocks continued for more than a month. Countless officials and private houses were destroyed, and even a section of the tall city wall collapsed. Tens of thousands of people and animals died.
This is an astronomical sum of money just for repairs, maintenance and comfort.
When Zhao Ding delivered food again, he once again expressed bitterness to him, and at the same time hinted to him to go back quickly and return to where he should go.
However, Zhao Huan was still noncommittal about this, and even did not hesitate to send Wu Jie, who was seriously ill, back to Luoyang to recuperate, and Yue Fei back to Hebei to recruit troops again.
Only Liu Qi's army was left to guard the newly acquired land, while he also stayed to appease the people here.
There was an earthquake in Xingqingfu in March, and in April, another earthquake occurred in Xiazhou. This time it was even weirder. Black sand spewed out from the ground, and countless houses and trees were submerged.
There were not too many casualties this time, but rebuilding Xiazhou was also a huge expense.
Of course, what disappointed Zhao Huan the most was that when he heard about the black sand, he thought it was related to some strategic material, but he didn't find out until he rushed there.
This thing is that there is a volcano nearby. This so-called black sand is formed for explosive volcanic activity. There is an underground river below.
The rapid cooling turned into this, which made Zhao Huan really happy for nothing.
However, although Zhao Huan suffered a lot of losses due to frequent disasters, those outside also did not escape these disasters.
In order to protect themselves, they could only send envoys to Zhao Huan one by one, hoping to get support from the Song Dynasty.
Facing the imminent arrival of these people, Zhao Huan finally decided to return to Luoyang.
"Tong Guan, you said... after such a long time, there should be many people around King Yun who persuade him to ascend to the throne as soon as possible..."
"Old minister, don't..."
"Haven't you ever had this thought?"
