On the evening of this day, Yongle City.

It was a mess here, with fire and smoke everywhere, fragments and rubble, broken limbs and broken arms, and blood everywhere.

The Song army was carrying the bodies back and forth and cleaning the battlefield.

Zhang Ju and General Xu stood shoulder to shoulder at the top of the city, looking towards the northwest.

Zhang Feng had a firm face and a torched look. He kept staring at the northwest. Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of the Xia people, was not far from here.

Xu Jiang glanced at Zhang Qing and smiled and said, "I believe the official must be very happy to take it back to Yongle City, which is enough to comfort the Emperor Shenzong."

Zhang Feng nodded, his white hair was a little scattered and drifted in the wind.

It has been a long time since Yongle City was lost. Emperor Shenzong had been committed to the Northern Expedition and ordered people to cast this strategic location to almost Yongle City.

In the fifth year of Yuanfeng, the Xia people sent 200,000 troops to attack, Yongle City fell, and more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians were killed and injured. Emperor Shenzong cried bitterly in the dynasty.

Xu Jiang turned around and looked at the other places, saw the military and civilians coming and going in a hurry, and said, "The four towns of Jialu, Mizhi, Futu, and Anjiang have been brought back. All the strategic areas have been obtained, so there is no need to be so passive in the future."

Jialu, Mizhi, Futu, and Anjiang were lost in Yuanyouchu, Empress Dowager Gao, Sima Guang and others.

Zhang Feng said: "As a barbarian, the Xia people are not obeyed education, and are eager for profit and fear of power. They must be punished enough. They dare not act recklessly so that they can ensure the stability of the border, otherwise the swords and weapons will be endless. My idea is that since they cannot succeed in one blow, they must gradually erode, curb all the important roads, attack one after another, and the loss of day and month, the Xia people will die!"

General Xu looked at Zhang Feng, thinking about the court and Zhao Xu, and said, "The officials and the court are not radical people. They should not force you to send troops to destroy Xia as soon as possible. You can come calmly. Although the Xia people were defeated this time, they did not hurt their muscles. You need to be more cautious."

Although Zhang Qi defeated the Xia army this time, the Song Dynasty would not expand and would destroy Xia.

This time, it was mainly strategic and tactical victory. The Xia army did not hurt the body. In addition, the defeat of the five routes of the attack on Xia in the fifth year of Yuanfeng, the Song Dynasty did not have enough confidence to destroy Xia.

At this time, a scout came up, knelt on one knee, and shouted: "Report to the wisdom of the emperor, General Zhong, General Zhe killed 5,000 enemies in Liangshui River. The enemy occupied the river to defend it, and should not be chased. The two generals asked to return."

Zhang Ju nodded, looked at the darkening sky and said, "I ordered all troops to guard the troops to closely monitor the movements of the Xia people. The troops will take turns to rest at night, beware of the Xia people coming back to attack at night!"

"Yes." The scout responded and strode away.

Xu General Xu glanced at him and said, "Before the day is still dark, go to other cities to have a walk."

Zhang Feng looked at General Xu and said, "I will see the generals tonight. I would like to ask Secretary Xu to have more beautiful words in front of the officials and the court at that time."

The merits of military generals have always been greatly reduced in the eyes of civil officials in the court. Moreover, the Song Dynasty has always emphasized literature and suppressed military affairs. If one is not good, the merits may not be punished!

Xu Jiang smiled slightly and said, "I will report the truth, so please feel free to Zhengluo."

Zhang Feng raised his hand and said nothing.

General Xu and Zhang Feng stepped down the city wall side by side, and were also thinking about the follow-up arrangements of the North Five Road.

The court will definitely pay more attention to this great victory and strengthen its arrangements in order to prevent the Xia in the future. Then, the generals' arrangements will be carefully and comprehensively considered for a series of strategies of the five routes.

In Kaifeng City.

The news of the great victory of Huanqing Road has not yet spread, so Zhao Xu, the Political Affairs Hall will take the opportunity to make some arrangements.

Honglu Temple.

Wei Ming Ashan has been trapped in the past month and has no idea about the news outside. He is becoming more and more irritable and almost out of control.

In the courtyard, a group of summer people were bored and wrestling, while another group was clamoring.

Wei Ming Ashan sat on the stool, looked up at the setting sun, his heart became more and more hot, his eyes were gloomy, and he said, "Is there any news yet?"

A guard beside him said, "No, the Song people are very close to each other. We can't get in outside, and we can't get out either."

Wei Ming Ashan silently calculated the time, and felt a little panicked inexplicably. He suddenly stood up and said, "Come with me!"

Dozens of people in the yard listened to his words and could not hold back. They followed him and walked towards the door.

When they moved, the yamen runners of the Honglu Temple outside the gate and the imperial guards around the Imperial City Office quickly moved, and some short crossbows and long arrows were quietly aimed at them.

Many Xia people were shocked and suddenly walked.

Wei Ming Ashan seemed not to see it, and went straight to the door, holding a stool in his hand. Looking at the Honglu Temple yamen runner who looked like a great enemy, he said coldly: "I want to see your emperor, at least one husband. If you can't see it today, you can kill us all here!"

As he said that Wei Ming Ashan was about to break through.

The Xia Ren behind him was brave and followed him, looking determined to fight to the death.

When the yamen runner saw it, he looked at each other with a look of awesomeness. Seeing that the Xia people were really trying their best, one of them raised a spear and shouted: "Don't move! Wait, if you dare to move around, kill them without any hesitation!"

Wei Ming Ashan stared at him and said, "Tell Fan Zuyu that I must meet the person who said what I said, otherwise I will break out even if I die today!"

The yamen runners were alert, made some arrangements and left quickly.

Wei Ming Ashan looked at his back and turned around. He saw that the Imperial City Guard had stood on the wall, arrows were aimed at them, and fifty people could be seen, with cold eyes and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Not long after, the yamen runner arrived at Fan Zuyu's duty room.

After hearing this, Fan Zuyu said in confusion: "You said, these Xia people are trying their best to break out?"

The yamen runner said, "Yes, the attitude is very firm."

Fan Zuyu thought to himself and said, "You go and comfort them, I will meet Mr. Zhang."

"Yes!" The yamen runner responded and turned around and left.

Fan Zuyu pondered for a moment, left Honglu Temple and entered the palace and entered the Qingwa House.

The news of the victory of the Northwest is now known by the confidential room. Zhang Dun deliberately hid it and was taking the opportunity to make some personnel arrangements, waiting for the news to spread so that some people could not object.

Fan Zuyu came in a hurry and talked about Wei Ming Ashan's abnormal movement.

Zhang Dun snorted and said, "If they want to die, they will help them. I will ask someone to notify the Imperial City Department. If you dare to walk out of the yard, you will kill them all!"

Fan Zuyu looked slightly shocked, and he didn't understand. Is he going to kill Xia?

He glanced at Cai Bian and continued to write something, turning a deaf ear to him, and suddenly moved his heart, stepped forward two steps, and whispered: "Honey, is there any news on Huanqing Road?"

Zhang Dun glanced at him and said, "Don't ask too much, go. By the way, I have asked the official family. After the merger of the Honglu Temple, you will be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

Fan Zuyu was surprised and happy, and raised his hand and said, "Thank you, my husband, thank you."

Just as Zhang Dun was about to wave his hand to ask Fan Zuyu to go back, Cai Bian raised his head at this time and said, "They really want to break through. Don't kill them all. Leave a few survivors, which is useful."
