One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 759 The Last Battle of the Northern Expedition (End)

Wanyan Xiyin said: "Marshal, the Southwest Recruitment Division will definitely be the focus of defense against the Song Dynasty in the future. Not only that, the Southwest Recruitment Division is also bordering the grassland and the Xia Kingdom, so the strength of the Southwest Recruitment Division must be strengthened. I suggest that we lead Of the troops who returned, except for the infantry troops, the remaining troops stayed in the Southwest Recruitment Division."

Jin Wushu nodded and said, "Okay."

Wanyan Xiyin continued: "In addition to leaving troops, the Southwest Recruitment Division also needs a general to stay, otherwise it will be difficult to defend against the Song army. I think the guard sent by Li Xin to Datong after this battle must be A general like Han Shizhong Quduan."

Hearing this, Jin Wushu glanced around the generals, then set his eyes on Salihe and said: "Salihe, you stay as the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Recruitment Division. You have been fighting against the Song army all year round and have rich experience. I Believe you, I will personally explain this matter to the Emperor when I return to Beijing."

Sa Li saluted and said, "Yes, Marshal, I understand."

Wanyan Xiyin added: "Marshal, in addition to the Southwest Recruitment Department, the candidates for the head coach of the Northwest Recruitment Department also need to be considered, where they will face Yanjing directly in the future."

Jin Wushu sighed and said: "Let Saili go to the Northwest Recruitment Department. I can rest assured that Saili will guard the Northwest Recruitment Department."

Wanyan Zongxian nodded and said: "Yes, Marshal, but Marshal, I need to strengthen the troops of the Northwest Recruitment Division."

Jin Wushu said: "No problem, I will transfer of the troops newly recruited by the emperor to you."

Wanyan Zongxian saluted and said, "Then I have no problem."

Jin Wushu sighed: "Daijin, our country, suffered heavy losses during this southern invasion and was severely damaged. It will be an extraordinary period in the future. I hope you will do your best to help Daikin tide over the difficulties."

Everyone saluted and said: "Marshal, don't worry, we will do our best to help Daijin tide over the difficulties."

Just when Jin Wushu was arranging everything, the good news about Datong had also reached Yanjing. After receiving the good news, Zhao Ding hurried into the palace to see Li Xin and shouted: "Your Majesty, Datong has been recovered."

Li Xin hurriedly stood up, took the battle report, looked at it and said: "Well, although Jin Wushu could not be completely eliminated, it is good to regain Datong smoothly. Now all the sixteen states of Yanyun are in our hands. Let's go to the Northern Expedition." The strategic goal has been achieved. Mr. Zhao, please pass on the order. All armies on the border will be on the defensive. They must not provoke and attack the enemy at will. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed. Of course, if anyone dares to invade our territory, we must resolutely fight back."

Zhao Ding nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Xin continued: "In addition, the list of casualties of our army in the Northern Expedition must be reported as soon as possible. The pension matters must be arranged. As for the military merits, wait until the imperial court moves to Yanjing before calculating and announcing them, and send a message to Lin'an. , the court and the king’s family can all move to Lin’an, and of course the families of the princes.”

Zhao Ding bowed and said, "I obey your order."

The Northern Expedition, which lasted for nearly four months, was finally over. During the entire Northern Expedition, the Song and Jin sides invested a total of nearly million troops. Among them, the Jin army invested troops, and the Song army increased its troops. The Shangshui Army invested a total of nearly troops. In the end, the Jin Army suffered casualties and captured more than people, escaped, and nearly fled and disappeared. The Song Army finally suffered nearly casualties. After this battle, it can be said that the national strength of the Jin Kingdom was greatly damaged, at least half of its national strength was lost. After losing the Central Plains and Yanyun, it would take at least ten years or even longer for the Jin Kingdom to recover. Of course, this is what Li Xin reassured the Jin Kingdom. development situation.

At this time, on the official road from the Central Plains to Yanjing, a carriage and hundreds of guards were walking. In the carriage were Yu Liyan and her eldest daughter Li Xinning.

Originally, Li Xin just asked Yu Liyan to go to Yanjing alone first, but after Li Xinning found out, she kept begging Yu Liyan to take her to Yanjing. Yu Liyan had no choice but to take her with him.

Yu Liyan, who was sitting in the carriage, had a complicated heart. It had been more than ten years since he left Yanjing. He didn't expect to be able to return to Yanjing now. However, when he returned to Yanjing, things were different. No, my identity is completely different from before.

Xin Ning, who couldn't stop looking around at the scenery, asked: "Mother, what is Yanjing like? Is there a big one like Lin'an?"

Yu Liyan shook his head and said: "No, Yanjing is much smaller than Lin'an, even compared to Xinghan City."

Xin Ning asked again: "Then why does daddy want to live in Yanjing in the future?"

Yu Liyan smiled and said: "This is not a child's business. If you really want to know, you can ask your father yourself when you get to Yanjing."

Xin Ning tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "Mother, which of these cities do you like to live the most?"

Yu Liyan replied: "Wherever your father lives, that's where your mother likes to live."

Xin Ning curled her lips and said, "Mother will fool us."

Yu Liyan smiled again and said: "Haha, compared to Lin'an and Xinghan City, my mother's favorite is Yanjing City. Although Yanjing is small, the climate is much better than Lin'an and Xinghan City. Lin'an is too hot in summer. The winter is wet and cold. Although the climate in Xinghan City is pleasant all year round, it is not as distinct as Yanjing. My daughter has not seen snow yet. It is already September, and it will snow in Yanjing in a month or two. Yanjing after the snow But it’s a different scene.”

Xin Ning suddenly asked again: "By the way, mother, one of you and dad were in the north and the other was in the south. You were so far apart. How did you get together in the end?"

Yu Liyan was embarrassed when he heard this, turned his head and snorted coldly: "When you get to Yanjing, you can ask your father yourself."

Xin Ning said: "I have asked dad about this many times before, but he just won't tell me."

Yu Liyan looked out the window and said, "Then my mother can't say anything."

Xin Ning shook Yu Liyan's arm and said coquettishly: "Mom, just tell me. Just talk to me."

Yu Liyan said with a straight face: "Do you still want to see Yue Yun? If not, I will send someone to take you back to Lin'an."

Xin Ning blushed when she heard this and said, "What Yue Yun?"

Yu Liyan sneered: "I gave birth to you. I don't know what you are thinking about me as your mother. You begged me to go to Yanyun because you missed your father. In fact, it was not to meet your lover. Alas, your father is right, women are not allowed to stay in college."

Xin Ning turned around and snorted coldly: "Humph, I won't pay attention to you."

Regarding the fact that he was abducted by Li Xin, Yu Liyan would not tell the children even if he was beaten to death. Not only Yu Liyan, but also Liang Hongyu, Zhao Fujin and others would not tell the children about their past. , Li Xin's wives have reached a consensus on this matter. After Li Xin found out, in order to prevent his wives from uniting to deal with him, he just let it go and kept silent about the matter. After all, everyone has some unbearable past. Well.
