Zhao Zhen, who had a keen intuition about the situation, asked, "Standing in Wei County, the princess intends to destroy the puppet Qi State?"
Zhao Yingluo gave him a knowing look, the emperor still understands me! Wang Zaixing raised his hand and said, "The general will definitely live up to the princess's expectations!"
……
After arranging all this, Zhao Yingluo left the remaining matters to others to deal with, and she and several major generals led 5 people to escort Wanyan Zonghan and thousands of prisoners to Kaifeng!
【May [-]nd】
The winter wheat around Kaifeng City was in the harvest season. When they learned that Zhao Yingluo had won the victory, the farmers who were harvesting wheat on the official road along the way ran to the official road one by one. When they saw Zhao Yingluo's carriage, they bent over and knelt down. The procession of kneeling and worshiping stretched for twenty miles, all the way to the gates of Kaifeng City.
They are so eager for this victory!The tragic defeat of the Song Dynasty two years ago, the ravages of the Jin people, how many people died, and how many people's wealth was robbed.
But in just two years, the Song Dynasty turned from a defeat to a great victory. How could it not make people ecstatic?
The princess not only allowed them to have enough food and clothing, but also made them straighten their spines!The Song Dynasty was by no means the weak and incompetent Song Dynasty.
"All blessings, princess!"
"Congratulations to the princess on your triumphant return!"
……
Han Shizhong and others, who were riding tall horses, couldn't help but be moved when they saw such a looked at the farmers kneeling on the ground beside the official road under the scorching sun, and felt an unspeakable emotion in his heart.
At this moment, he deeply felt that Zhao Yingluo's victory was not only because of her wisdom and bravery, but also because of the benefits she brought to the people. The people of the Song Dynasty solved the problem of food and clothing that was a headache for any dynasty because of her. If it continues, maybe The prosperity of the Song Dynasty will be comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty.
Han Shizhong recalled the big defeat two years ago, and couldn't help but feel pain in his that time, the Song Dynasty was like a dilapidated house, crumbling in the wind and iron hooves of the Jin people are like wolves and tigers, and the people live in dire straits.
But everything changed drastically because of her appearance.
……
Amid cheers and worship, Zhao Yingluo's troops are about to arrive at the north gate of Kaifeng City.
After the people of Kaifeng City got the news, they spontaneously gathered outside the city gate to welcome the victorious army.
The city of Kaifeng has been decorated with lights and colorful decorations for a long time, and it is filled with joy. The victory of the Song Army has become an indispensable topic for every Kaifeng person after dinner.
Someone even wrote a poem, which attracted everyone in Kaifeng to recite it. "Chanzhou defeated Jieyin, and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers smiled.
The iron horses and golden swords waved, and the flags covered the sun and shook the sky.
Nearly ten thousand enemy leaders were captured, and flags and flags were spread across the fields.
Aspirations and heroic love songs are victorious, and frontier fortresses are built with determination. "
When the three old men learned that Zhao Yingluo had completely annihilated the Jin army in the middle and captured the Jin army commander Wanyan Zonghan, they were so happy that they were as happy as children.
Old Zongze burst into tears and bowed in the direction of the palace, "Thank God for blessing the Song Dynasty, and Wanshu won a great victory! By promoting the prestige of the Song Dynasty, the Supreme Emperor can rest easy!"
Lu Haowen and Li Gang also lamented that if it were two years ago, the Song Dynasty would only be beaten passively and run away in embarrassment!Who made the officials fear gold men as much as they fear tigers?
After the three old men were happy, they headed towards the palace together. Of course, they had to inform him of the good news in is Zhao Ji doing? For the past half month, he had been ordering the palace officials to pack away the antique calligraphy and paintings, which were made of gold and silver, so that they would not be able to escape in time if the Jin came over. He had been in constant fear for half a month, making him sleepless and unable to eat.
He was afraid. He was afraid that the Jin people would capture Kaifeng again and be a prisoner again, eating chaffy vegetables, freezing and starving, and living a life worse than a pig or a dog.
"Your Majesty, I would like to see you, Zong Ze, Lu Haowen and Li Gang," the chamberlain Wei Chaoxian said respectfully after entering the room.
When Zhao Ji heard that they were coming, he immediately panicked, "Them? But the Jin people have already arrived at the city, and they want to take me to escape? Hurry! Hurry! Pack your things, let's go to Lin'an."
"Your Majesty, from my slave's point of view, the three adults are smiling happily. It doesn't look like the Jin soldiers are approaching the city."
When Zhao Ji heard this, the panic in his heart gradually stopped, "It is said that the three of them have an audience."
After the three people from Zongze entered the Chui Gong Hall, their faces were full of spring breeze, "The Emperor is overjoyed! Princess Shen Wanshu led the army to defeat the Jin people in Chanzhou, and captured the Jin people's commander Wanyan Zonghan, the prince Wanyan Zongyi and thousands of troops! Captured the son of the traitor Liu Yu Liu Lin and tens of thousands of troops."
Zhao Ji asked in disbelief, "Master Zong said that we... won the battle?"
"Return to the Supreme Emperor! Great victory! Complete victory!"
Zhao Ji's expression changed from hesitation, to surprise, and then to ecstasy, "It's... it's the emperor... it's Shen Wanshu who won the battle?"
Zongze said with a smile, "It's her! Not only that, she also recovered Xingzhou, Cizhou and other places. Now she is almost outside the city gate."
"Pass! An order has been sent to all the civil and military officials to come out of the city to greet you. I! I'm going too." Zhao Ji's voice was so excited that his voice trembled.
"I'll make arrangements now." Zongze, who was in a good mood, calmed down his excitement, laughed heartily, and walked out the door with wind in his steps.
When the three old men led the civil and military officials from Tokyo to the north of the city, Zhao Yingluo happened to arrive at the gate of Kaifeng City. There were many flags, and the three armies were in uniform. They stepped down in uniform steps, making a rhythmic stepping sound that shook everyone's heart.
Standing on the top of the city, Zhao Ji saw such a mighty and majestic army, and the imperial spirit in his subconscious was aroused. This is how my army should be.
Zhao Yingluo also saw her own advantageous emperor at the top of the city. She immediately signaled the army to stop, then jumped off the carriage and knelt down on one knee in the direction of Zhao Ji.
"The Song Dynasty recently fought against the Jin people and won a complete victory! Today we are escorting the prisoners back to the city for His Majesty the Emperor to review!"
When Zhao Yingluo knelt down, Han Shizhong and other generals knelt down together with all the soldiers, and shouted in unison, "Please review by His Majesty the Emperor."
The shouts were soul-stirring, cleansing the minds and bodies of the subjects inside and outside Kaifeng, as if they were washing away the humiliation of more than two years ago.
Zhao Ji was high-spirited and waved his hand, "Generals, thank you for your hard work. I will personally ask for rewards from the emperor in recognition of your extraordinary achievements."
After Zhao Yingluo completed this ceremony, she immediately ordered the army escorting the prisoners to enter the city.
Wherever the prisoners of the Jin army went, they were greeted by the spit and rotten vegetable leaves of Kaifeng's subjects... They were in extreme embarrassment.
After the city entry ceremony, Zhao Yingluo ordered the army to temporarily escort the prisoners to the old school grounds in Kaifeng, while she took Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongyi, Liu Lin and other major generals to the palace.
In the Chui Gong Hall, Zhao Ji sat on the throne and met Wanyan Zonghan for the second time, but this time the identities were changed and Wanyan Zonghan became a prisoner.
After Wanyan Zonghan was escorted into the palace, he was a little downcast, but his bones were still strong!Zhao Ji did not kneel down when he saw him.
