Chapter 734: Made a very difficult decision

Under the crimson wall, a sedan chair was steadily stopped. Many officials in court uniforms were hiding at the corner of the door and whispering. They all knew that the victory in Qilian Mountains was a great victory, but the exact news had not yet been leaked. Several officials from the Ministry of War got out of the sedan chair and many people surrounded them. As a result, these people spread their hands and entered the palace directly. Without passing through the Ministry of War, no one knew what happened.

When Yang Zhen arrived, everyone asked him again. Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "I just washed up early in the morning and heard the news. I guess the good news had not passed by the disciples."

Everyone's faces couldn't help but look a little sad, but they were a little excited. Whether it was Han officials or foreign officials, they didn't care about the previous holidays for a while. Just like the Americans after the Civil War later, the north and the south hated each other. It was not until the Japanese raided Pearl Harbor that they realized that in the eyes of others, whether it was south or north, you were all Americans, so they all started to retaliate without distinction between the north and the south.

The same is true for the Han people. There were many barriers before, but now I know that once the Jurchens come, the Great Xia Kingdom is over. In the eyes of the Jurchens, you are all Xia people, and you are all fat sheep who can kill them quickly.

Now that the Regent defeated the Jurchen cavalry in one fell swoop, everyone was relieved and couldn't help but feel that they had a life after the disaster. They were all people with family and careers, officials and ranks, and others could escape. Where could they escape? The people who fled to the Song Dynasty were at most refugees, but when they went to the Song Dynasty, could they be willing to give up their bright future and wealth of family resources?

Everyone looked excited, that is, the regent official who had never mentioned the regent, and at this time he also talked about the benefits of the regent with great spirit.

"With this battle, Daxia will be solid for thirty years."

"Your Highness has great martial arts, and it is really not easy to defeat the more with less."

"In my opinion, only the late Emperor Yuanhao can compare with him."

"I wonder if the Supreme Emperor received the good news, my Daxia Zhongxing is expected."

At this time, he brought Lu Wuzhi's sedan chair over. He lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and walked out slowly. Seeing so many people, he was not surprised. His eyes fell on Yang Zhen not far away. Yang Zhen came over to greet him. If Wuzhi had no real power, he would not have to give Yang Zhen a face. Today he returned the courtesy and said, "What kind of wind did you hear from the door of the village?"

Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "I only realized that the good news was sent directly to the palace, but I was afraid that I would only know after entering the palace."

Wu Thijhe nodded, with a little blush on his face, and said lightly: "It's good, I'll know if I see the Supreme Emperor later."

As he was speaking, the palace gate opened, but Huaide came out happily and said, "Sir, please enter the palace."

Everyone surrounded him again and asked: "What news does Father Huaide know? Is that news correct? Has the Regent returned to the court?"

After a series of questions came out, Huaide happily replied: "It's true, it's a great victory. The 100,000 Jurchen cavalry were all over, and all passes were recovered. On the Qilian Mountains, it is said that even the grazing Jurchens retreated fifty miles and did not dare to shed horses under our Daxia Pass. His Highness the Regent has sent back the news, and he has returned to the court in the past few days, and told the countries to deliver good news."

There is an envoy of the Khitan here. When the news is true, it is also a ecstasy. The Jurchens have not had a large population. This time, they defeated 100,000 cavalry. The invincible myth of Jurchens has been broken. Now the Western Xia, Khitan and the Great Song couplet are one. Who said that the Khitan ancestral temple cannot be preserved? He stood up and said, "After this battle, people in the world will no longer be afraid of the Jurchens."

Everyone burst into laughter and then they entered the palace one after another.

On the warm pavilion, Li Ganshun was surprised and happy. Good news came early in the morning. He didn't believe it at first, but after seeing the good news written by Chen Ao, he suppressed his suspicion.

In fact, the so-called 100,000 Jurchen cavalry had too much water, and they had a lot of plans. Even if they had added a trooper, they would only have 50,000. However, the Jurchens themselves pretended to be 100,000 and promoted to others everywhere, for fear that others would think that the Jurchens had few soldiers. Unexpectedly, they were defeated and happened to help Chen Ao a great favor. Since they had falsely claimed to be 100,000, Chen Ao naturally took the initiative, so on the good news, he wrote a shameless anti-thief with more than 100,000.

Doing this can calm the hearts of the people in Daxia on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also hit the arrogance of the Jurchens, making all countries no longer afraid of the Jurchens.

Li Ganshun is also a diligent person. One day he didn't want to be a monarch who had achieved his moral character? Unfortunately, he had sufficient literary character but not enough moral character. Now his great martial arts have made his son-in-law have. But there is nothing sad. With this battle, the formerly uneasy Xixia now truly eliminates internal troubles, and the Regent's position in the Western Xia has been officially stable. Just imagine, even if the Jurchens were destroyed in front of the Regent, who dared to covet the authority of the Regent? Dare to provoke the Regent? At this time, I am afraid that those people can only be glad that they did not have an enemy of the Regent before, otherwise what would their fate be the same as the Jurchens?

When the ministers came in to congratulate him, Li Ganshun's face turned a little blush and cheered up his spirits. He asked someone to recite the good news carefully. Seeing everyone showing joy, he said: "The Regent worked hard and made great contributions. He will return to the court on a date. What if I go out with you to welcome him for thirty miles?"

Yang Zhen took the lead and said: "The emperor's decree is respected."

Everyone knelt one after another, and all agreed.

Even the black thorns hesitated for a moment and bowed: "I respect the emperor's edict."

Li Ganshun smiled faintly and said, "Okay, it's a mess. I still have to recuperate. The rest of the people went out and went to work. Yang Zhen and Wu Tu stayed."

At this moment, Miao'er came in with Chen Qi in her arms, and everyone saluted the Regent Princess and the "Emperor". Unfortunately, the "Emperor" did not realize the emperor, and his little head kept pressing on Miao'er's chest. Seeing that his mother did not feed him, she reached out to put her finger in her mouth and started crying.

When everyone saw this, how could they dare to stay longer? They retreated one after another.

Miao'er first saluted Li Ganshun, her eyes fell on Wu Shi and said, "Grandpa..."

Wu Thijhe nodded, walked over and hugged Chen Qi. Chen Qi was not timid, but he just came to Wu Thij's arms, but he stopped crying. He tried to push Wu Thij's chest pitifully, and found that the breasts were different from Miaoer's wet nurse. A pair of dark little eyes showed a look of confusion, and then he cried again and kicked his feet.

Wu Zhao looked at him with a deep look and said word by word: "This son is the true emperor!"

Qilian Pass, after the war, this city gate seemed extremely depressed. Not long ago, the energetic Jurchens broke through the pass and killed more than a thousand defenders. Using this pass as a breakthrough point, they captured the entire northern border town in one fell swoop. Later, the Jurchens were defeated, and Chen Ao led their troops to take over the place to rest. Now, there are Jurchens trying to escape everywhere in the border area, and pursuers everywhere. It took only two days to recover all the passes, and even cavalry rushed into the desert, looted many Jurchen herders, and intercepted hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.

The water herbs near the Qilian Mountains are lush. The Jurchens have always made a living by plundering. They never thought that anyone would dare to eat bad things. Besides, 30,000 cavalry entered the southern foot of the Qilian Mountains, so the number of Jurchen herders here gradually increased. In their opinion, even if they could not enter Xingqing Prefecture, at least it was a foregone conclusion that horse herders on the southern foot of the Qilian Mountains. The water grass on the southern foot of the Qilian Mountains was even more abundant, which had already made the Jurchen herders coveted for a long time. Who knew that the news of the defeat came out. Before they could react, countless Western Xia cavalry rushed out and killed people when they saw them, burned them when they saw tents, and did not hesitate to rush back to Guanzhong.

A cavalry even went deep into the desert hundreds of miles away, smashed a herdsman's stronghold and captured thousands of Jurchens back.

The grassland near the border of Xixia was in a panic for a moment, and there were news of being looted everywhere. Fortunately, the herdsmen who did not encounter the Xia army immediately moved north. Many Jin cavalry were moved when they heard the news. However, the Jurchens have always been good at attacking but not defending, and all their military strength was on Qijin Mansion and the Khitans. In the internal emptiness, against this team of thousands of cavalry teams, with spontaneous dozens and hundreds of people, and just one charge, they could disperse.

After all, the people who stayed here were not the elite Jurchens. Most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, with few people, and their morale was sluggish. Where were these cavalry rivals with a rainbow of morale and overwhelming overwhelming cavalry rivals?

In Qilian Pass, Chen Aomao looked at it and was surfing the maps he had mapped. Although the Jurchens invaded, they won now, but the price was not small. The war produced a large number of refugees, and the border troops were in a slump. There were also nearby cities, and the losses were also quite large. He had always taken advantage of others, but now he suffered the losses of these Jurchens, so he naturally had to return them ten times a hundred times.

How can I do this if I don’t calculate it clearly? The Jurchens can rob the Khitans, and Chen Ao can rob the Jurchens. Chen Ao is the most capable of doing things like black and black.

It is related to the great cause of robbery. Chen Aobi is concerned about it at any time. Hundreds of scouts were released. The terrain of the western Jurchen grassland has been figured out. The most important question now is where to start.

There are only two places that can be robbed on this thousand-mile grassland. One is closer to Qijin Mansion. It was originally the ancestral land of the Khitan, called Licheng. It is one of the few cities in the western part of the desert. It is called a city, but in fact there is no towering city wall or turbulent moat, but it is more like a large-scale gathering point. A prince of the Jurchens was enfeoffed here. This prince is Wanyan Aguda's uncle, with a transcendent status, so there are many treasures, and cattle and sheep everywhere. There are tens of thousands of herders scattered nearby, not to mention cattle and sheep, there must be hundreds of thousands of heads.

However, this place is 600 miles away from Qilian Pass. Once you go deeper, the risk factor is still quite high.

Another city is blocked in the north of the desert. It is an important business road to the west by the Jurchens. It is a place where merchants gather. It is said that every few days, hundreds of merchants, with herds of cattle and sheep and thousands of porters, staying there to rest. It is also a good place to be rich and rich. This place is only more than 300 miles away from Qilian Pass.

Chen Ao's eyes looked at the map as if he had seen mountains of gold and silver. His Adam's apple kept rolling, and he couldn't help but drip a few drops of saliva from his mouth. He rubbed it hard. In terms of wealth, there were naturally more people left in the city. The Khitans had snatched the Song Dynasty for so many years, so there were naturally many good things. The Jurchens snatched the Khitans and snatched them, and they had long been rich. There was nothing in this desert, but there was no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry. Chen Ao was the opposite of them. He was nothing, but money.

Chen Ao clenched his fists and knocked them on the table, raising his head.

The nearby generals couldn't help but stop and look at the Regent when they heard the sound of knocking on the table.

Chen Ao took a deep breath and said, "I have made a difficult decision."

"Does Your Highness plan to release the captured prisoners?" A general saw the difficulties on Chen Ao's face and began to guess what was the most difficult thing for the Regent? Thinking a little bit, it was probably the prisoner's business; in addition to the captured Jurchen cavalry, there were also a large number of herders, with a total of 20,000 people. Of course, it was very difficult to release so many people.

Chen Ao shook his head and said that he had guessed wrongly. Then he pointed at a location on the map and said in a deep tone: "Send troops to leave the city and grab his damn!"
