Prime Minister

Chapter 678 Triumph
Outside Dingxi City in Huizhou, the Song army joined forces for several miles, and the banners were flying.

In addition to the various tribes of the Qing and Tang Dynasties, there was also the Qinfeng Road Song Army from Gangu City. They were led here by Guo Kui, the commander of Qinfeng Road soldiers and horses, and Xiang Bao, who was in charge of Lingxia, and surrounded Dingxi City together with the Fan Army.

Since Guo Kui dispatched troops, Han Zhen, Qin Fenglu's strategic appeasement envoy, has been sitting in Gangu City to monitor the battle situation.

Han Zhen worried that Guo Kui and his brother Han Jiang would not get along, and Xiang Bao and Wang Shao would not get along, and the two refused to do their best.

But Wang Shao and Zhang Yue led the triumphantly returning Song army to appear outside Dingxi City, causing a sensation inside and outside the city.

Liu Xixi, who was the successor of the horse, learned about Zhang Yue, Wang Shao triumphantly shouted: "It's amazing, it's amazing, it's really amazing!"

Liu Xishi has been unable to eat and sleep these days, especially after knowing that Zhang Yue and Wang Shao changed the marching route without authorization.

Knowing that they had won, Liu Xixi was the only one in the army tent who was convinced, and the rest of the soldiers didn't think so. Except for defending the city and being able to defeat the party, the Song army had always won in the field battles between the two armies. The less you lose, the more you lose, unless you have an extremely superior force.

Gao Zunyu still looks suspicious, let alone Guo Kui and Xiang Bao, who are only three points of trust and seven points of doubt.

Immediately, Guo Kui, Xiang Bao, Gao Zunyu, Liu Xishi, the leader of the Tibetan tribe Yu Longke, Jie Wu Chiwa, Qiao Zong, and the leaders of the 22 Kanbo tribes all greeted Kaishi outside the gate.

Soon everyone saw the cloud-like flags and soldiers singing victory songs from a distance.

The horse-tailed huqin follows the Han chariot, and the sound of the tune is still self-pitying Shanyu.

Bow your bow and don't shoot the geese in the clouds, the geese don't memorize books now.

……

The might of the sky crosses the Yellow River, and the thousands of Qiang people perform Han songs.

Moyan Hengshan reversed the water, and went from Jiaoxi to Enbo.

……

Guo Kui and Xiang Bao looked at each other. Hearing the majestic momentum of the song army's singing, it was indeed a victorious army.

It is really unbelievable.

In front of Wang Shao and Zhang Yue arrived, except for Guo Kui, all the generals of the Song Army and the leaders of the Fan tribe bowed their heads.

Wang Shao saw that even Guo Kui, who had almost served as a privy envoy, was going to greet him from a distance outside the gate, thinking of the festival between the two, he couldn't help showing his color, and wanted to ride his horse straight through the gate.

But Zhang Yue coughed heavily and jumped off the horse from a distance.

Seeing this, Wang Shao also had to get off his horse.

Guo Kui stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Sheren came back victorious, I admire him so much!"

"How can you compare your merits with a small amount of merit to that of the Taiwei who flattened the southern barbarians and shook the northwest." Zhang Yue replied modestly.

Guo Kui laughed.

Wang Shaodao: "It's fortunate that I did not disgrace my life this time. I defeated the Western Thieves Tiandu Military Supervision Division, captured 520 second ranks, captured more than [-] people, captured more than [-] horses and camels, and countless armored equipment. Please also check it with the Taiwei!"

Guo Kui was the general manager of soldiers and horses on Qinfeng Road, so all the soldiers and horses in this prefecture were controlled by him. However, Wang Shao and Zhang Yue were civil servants leading the soldiers, so there was a slight difference.

Hearing what Wang Shao said now, Guo Kui's expression changed a little. This was even more victories than what Liu Xishi had reported before.

Guo Kui said a good word with an unnatural expression.

As for Gao Zunyu and other Song generals and the leaders of the Fan tribe, their expressions were also very exciting.

Wang Shao's arrogance is full of words.

He nodded with his chin, and then Wang Hou threw Dangxiang's flags to the ground one after another, and the heavy armor and gold helmets of his captured generals were displayed all over the floor. At this moment, no one could believe it.

Xiang Bao was most jealous of Wang Shao. He checked the heads himself, but saw that these heads were all bald-haired party members. It is not to replace the old and weak of the Fan Department or the party.

This Wang Shao actually trained him such a capable soldier in the six or seven years in Guwei.

At the beginning, Xiang Bao laughed at Wang Shao for being bookish and having unrealistic fantasies about the Fanbu, but now it seems that he was the one who was wrong.

If you talk about Guo Kui, Xiang Bao doesn't want to believe it, but at the moment the most shocking ones are Yu Longke, Wu Chiwa, Qiao Zong, and many leaders of the Fan tribe.

This is the Tiandu Mountain Army Superintendent. It turned out that it was the brave army in the left wing.

The leaders of the Tibetan tribe were all afraid of power and profit. Between Dangxiang and the Song Dynasty, they were more afraid of Dangxiang, but the Song army could give them benefits.

But now the Song Dynasty broke through Tiandu Mountain all at once, and Dangxiang's power in the east of Huizhou was uprooted.

It turned out that there were still some leaders of the Tibetan tribe who were not firm in their determination and planned to have both ends of the party and the Song Dynasty. At this moment, they are very happy that they have made the right decision.

Guo Kui has not said anything, he has been waiting to inspect the seized results, until Xiang Bao gave him a positive look.

Guo Kui laughed loudly, and said to Zhang Yue: "Sheren, the scholar led the army and made such great achievements, Guo will be willing to lead the horse and carry the whip for you in the future."

Zhang Yue said: "Where is there any credit here, thanks to Wang Fupan."

Guo Kui said: "It's too modest to give up others."

Afterwards Guo Kui was extremely reluctant at the moment, and then patted Wang Shao's arms and said, "Okay, the officials say you have the ambition of Huo Wei, but I think you not only have the ambition, but also the merits of Huo Wei!"

It could be seen that Guo Kui was insincere, but Wang Shao was even more happy in his heart. Even Guo Kui had to compliment himself today.

At this moment, a group of cavalry came from outside.

Zhang Yue, Wang Shao wondered who it was?
Guo Kui said: "Master Jinglue knew that you had won, so he came here from Gangu City."

Zhang Yue and Wang Shao were stunned, and even Han Zhen couldn't hold back after knowing that his side had won a great victory.

It can be seen from this that he has great expectations for Zhang Yue and Wang Shao's victory in the Eastern Expedition this time.

A group of cavalry arrived, and the leader was indeed Han Zhen himself.

But seeing that Han Zhen, as a pacifier along the way, was actually riding a healthy horse, and only a few dozen Qingqi retinues dared to take light risks and go deep into Huizhou.

Zhang Yue, Wang Shao, and Guo Kui all greeted him in person, but Han Zhen jumped off his horse and said to the left and right, "Is the good news true?"

After Han Zhen finished speaking, he could see piles of battle armor, crates of heads, horses and camels, etc.

At this moment, Han Zhen couldn't help but not believe it, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Haha, amazing work, amazing work!"

Han Zhen strode past, looking left and right, feeling east and west, the city mansion as a high-ranking official, and as a handsome minister, his emotions and anger are indistinct, and he has long since been thrown away. I no longer know.

At this moment, Han Zhen only had two words of joy.

Han Zhen turned to Wang Shao, and Zhang Yue said, "Please tell me the details of this battle again."

How could Wang Shao miss this opportunity to show his face, and he immediately said something, and Zhang Yue let Wang Shao behave, adding a few words himself.

However, Wang Shao also knows how to measure. Apart from himself, he also praised Zhang Yue for his strategy, and at the same time personally killed the enemy in battle, and suffered a slight injury because of it.

Guo Kui and the others looked at Zhang Yue with admiration. Zhang Yue, who is as talented as a literary star, can kill several party soldiers with swords and bows.

Han Zhen had heard that Chen Yaozuo, the former number one scholar, was good at shooting, but he had never heard that the other party had been on the battlefield.

It seems that the story of Zhang Yue shooting the tiger in the past is not false!
"Good, good, good!" At this moment, Han Zhen said three good things in succession.

After listening to Wang Shao's words, Han Zhen and Guo Kui all showed shocked expressions.

They knew that Wang Shao and Zhang Yue's victory was not easy, but they did not expect to win in such an unfavorable situation. They broke the base camp of Dang Xiang Zheng Song, and set a fire to burn down the Xixia Palace.

Han Zhen looked at Wang Shao, and now he also changed his view of Wang Shao.Han Zhen thought to himself, needless to say about Zhang Yue's future in the future, but he did not expect that this Wang Shao is also a character, after such a remarkable achievement, it is possible for him to become a general in the future.

"How can such a soldier, such a general, be invincible?" Han Zhen praised Wang Shao lightly, and then said slowly: "Before I received the military report from the Xuanfu Division, Zhong Er had successfully built a city in Luowu City. And repelled Liang Yibu's attack of more than [-] troops at Funing Village."

Zhang Yue was surprised and delighted when he heard the words, did history really turn a corner here.

"Han Xuanxiang has already said that you have made great contributions to our army's capture of Hengshan by holding back [-]% of the party's troops. Regardless of your victory or defeat, he has already asked the officials for your credit. !"

Zhang Yue and Wang Shao looked at each other, both surprised and delighted.

Wang Shao was speechless at the moment.

But Zhang Yue said: "I have no credit for waiting, but the casualties of this soldier are not small. Please also ask the manager to pass it on to the minister, and the compensation will be paid!"

Han Zhen said approvingly: "She Ren is truly benevolent and loving. This matter is on my shoulders, and the sons who died in the battle must not be wronged in the slightest."

Zhang Yue and Wang Shao were overjoyed and thanked Han Zhen together.

Then Zhang Yue and Wang Shao passed on the captured and heads of this battle to each battalion.

The Han soldiers expressed their envy and admiration, while the Fan soldiers expressed their shock and awe.

Afterwards, the news of the defeat of the Tiandu Military Supervision Division spread to Dingxi City, and the countless captures were placed directly below the city for the defenders to watch.

And Yu Zang Huama, who has been standing at the top of the city, seeing the soldiers of the Song army gathered, has already guessed the victory of the opponent's eastward expedition. .

He is clear about the generals of the Song army below. He had a battle with Zeng and Xiang Bao, and he was defeated in that battle. That's why he made up his mind to sacrifice the state and become the son-in-law of the Xixia people. .

Now the Song army soldiers and horses gather under the city, not only Xiang Bao, but also the famous Song army general Guo Kui, who is even higher than Xiang Bao, Zhang Yue, Wang Shao, they not only defeated themselves, but also defeated Wei Lingda Tiandu Military Supervision Division.

Now all the Song troops will be stationed in Dingxi City, and it is self-evident what they will do next.

Yuzang Huama is struggling to stand on the top of the city. Is it necessary to return to the Qingtang and Tibetan tribes first, then to Xixia, and now to the Song Dynasty?
Being in a chaotic world is really involuntary!
And in his heart, he only wanted to let the people in the clan live a good life.

Thinking of this, he who stood on the top of the wall let out a long sigh.

In the end, Yuzang Huama didn't think about it any more, and after returning to the mansion in the city to discuss with the generals, he sent a Han staff member to Wang Shao's army to ask for surrender.

The next day Dingxicheng Kaesong surrendered.

Yuzang Huama and his [-] tents all surrendered to the Song army.

With one gram of Dingxi City, the entire territory of Huizhou was incorporated into the territory of the Song Dynasty.
