Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 621
Wang Xiaolie rectified the jurisdiction and the capital prison in Luoyang, and promoted the regularization of the subordinate army.At this time, Li Yanxian arrived outside Hangzhou.

It has just entered the rainy season, and Hangzhou has been raining more and more these days.

Lu Yihao stood under the green umbrella and looked ahead anxiously.Beside him is the second chancellor, Qin Hui, with an uncertain face.Behind are the ministers of the DPRK and China, with different expressions.

Since Jingkang, the Jin army has run across the world, almost unstoppable.The biggest failure is probably when he was blocked by Han Shizhong in Huang Tiandang when he returned after searching the mountains and seas in the fourth year of Jianyan.But in the end, Wu Shu escaped safely.In Shaanxi, although the Jin army did not break through Shukou, it has always had the upper hand.

Only in Xiangyang, Wang Xiaolie attacked several times and won all the battles against the Jin army.This Northern Expedition to Luoyang achieved a great victory in Shanzhou, killing more than [-] Jin troops and capturing nearly [-] people. It was an unprecedented victory.Killing thousands of households and pulling out speed, he was also the highest-ranking general of the Jin army killed by the Song army.

The victory in Shanzhou greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the Song Dynasty, and it has spread throughout the world.It is naturally a major event for the court that the frontline generals go to offer prisoners.On behalf of the emperor Zhao Gou, Prime Minister Lu Yihao, along with all the ministers of the court, waited outside the city early.

"Come, come!" Following the shouts of the crowd in front, the figures of Li Yanxian and his party appeared in the rainy sky.

Lu Yihao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.Regardless of the heavy rain, he stepped forward quickly.Qin Hui and the courtiers hurriedly followed.

Seeing it from a distance, Li Yanxian hurriedly got off his horse and stood in the heavy rain to salute Lu Yihao and others.

Lu Yihao stepped forward and grabbed Li Yanxian's hand.Said: "In front of the general, he beheaded the general of the Jin people, and defeated more than [-] of them. This is an unprecedented great achievement. All the subjects in the world are excited! Today I am ordered to lead the general into the city!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to let the soldier beside him who had been holding the imperial wine come forward.He said to Li Yanxian: "Three cups of imperial wine is the heart of the Holy Majesty to reward the general!"

Li Yanxian thanked him, took the wine glass, and drank it down.

Put down your glass.Li Yanxian said: "The gold thieves invaded the Central Plains south, and the whole world suffered. In this season of national crisis, who can stay out of it! I rebel in Shanzhou and fought fiercely with the gold army for several years. Later, I couldn't support it alone, and I went south to join forces with Wang Jieshuai One army. Last winter, Jieshuai handled the Northern Expedition and pointed directly at the Henan government of Xijing. Fortunately, God was merciful, and Jieshuai took Xijing to serve the imperial court. Later, Shaanxi Balisu and Liu Lin, the pseudo-Qi, divided into two routes to attack Xijing. Jieshuai commanded If it is determined, send troops to fight. Zhongmou defeated Liu Lin in the first battle and captured his general Li Cheng. Shanzhou broke through and killed dozens of his generals. Hucheng defeated Zheng Jianchong and captured over ten thousand. Can our army have This great victory is due to the mighty virtue of the sage, and all the troops use their lives. I am ordered by Commander Jie to come and present prisoners!"

After speaking, he waved his hand and ordered someone to push Li Cheng up.

Li Cheng once gathered hundreds of thousands of people, and I don't know how many states and counties have been destroyed. All the ministers here know his name.Now seeing him with disheveled hair covering his face, with a sluggish expression and a rotten leg, everyone couldn't help but sigh.One or two years ago, every move of this person shocked the world, but he did not expect to become like this.

Lu Yihao looked at Li Cheng with a serious expression.Among the thieves in the world, Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou and Yang Mo from Dongting Lake are the three most difficult to deal with.It wasn't until Zhang Jun took Yue Fei to quell the rebellion that Li Cheng was forced to cross the Yangtze River and surrendered to the puppet Qi.Unexpectedly, after only a few months, he became Wang Xiaolie's prisoner.

Among the heroes of this era, Li Cheng was exceptionally different.He doesn't like wealth, loves soldiers, can win the hearts of soldiers, has strict discipline in the army, and is relatively good at fighting. He is a famous general in the eyes of everyone.After many years of chaos, Zhao Gou wanted to recruit him so that he could be used for himself.It's just that I didn't expect to vote for the puppet Qi in the end and not serve the court.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and people could not be seen clearly for several steps.The onlookers were in high spirits and shouted.

After taking Li Cheng down, Li Yanxian took out another box.He said to Lu Yihao: "The one inside is the head of Jin Wanhu Balisu. This Liao Jianyan went south to the south of the Yangtze River in four years, broke through dozens of counties and counties, and killed many people! Jie Shuai ordered someone to bring his head. It is to show the court's sage!"

Lu Yihao took the box and caressed it with his hand, his heart was surging.Thinking back more than two years ago, Ba Lisu searched the mountains and seas with Wushu, and then divided his troops to chase after the Queen Mother Meng, almost catching up several times.At that time, when many officials heard Ba Lisu's name, their legs became weak. In many cities, officials fled early before Ba Lisu arrived.Who would be able to put his head in a box two years later and get it in his own hands?

After touching for a long time, Lu Yihao opened the wooden box.The inside has been treated with lime and medicine, and the eyes are wide open, as if alive.Lu Yihao stared into his eyes.After a while, he said: "If it wasn't for the good general of the state, how did this son get into this box? General, it's raining heavily, let's go to the city early."

Li Yanxian said yes.He arranged for more than a thousand soldiers to station outside the city, and only brought fifty armored cavalry, and followed Lu Yihao and others into the city.

These fifty armored cavalry were specially arranged by Wang Xiaolie to show his military temperament.Everyone is tall and long, with a very majestic appearance, plus a suit of iron armor and armored horses underneath, looking like gods.

It doesn't matter what the troops on the front line look like, when they get to the rear, the emperor and the people can see them.Give them confidence.

Lin'an City is different from other capitals because of its terrain constraints, facing north from south.Enter the city from the north gate and walk along the imperial street.Under the eaves on both sides, the people set up incense tables and watched the procession of offering prisoners in the heavy rain.Pointing to the general who was detained behind, talking about who it is.

It rained heavily, but the enthusiasm of the people did not diminish.Both sides of Royal Street were almost full of people, and some even climbed onto trees.

Lu Yihao rode on the horse and said to Li Yanxian: "The victory in Shanzhou has never been seen before. The people who are walking are all rejoiced after hearing about it. General, look, although it is raining heavily today, the people gathered on the street just to see you. "

Li Yanxian said: "The Jin army has been unscrupulous in the past few years, and the common people have indeed suffered."

Fifty armored cavalry escorted the captives and walked slowly through the Royal Street.The iron rider stepped on the stone slab, splashing water.The knights on the horse looked solemn, their iron armor glowed with coldness, and the rainwater flowed down from their bodies.When the people saw it, they cheered.

In the eyes of the common people, this is what the imperial court should look like as an army.Whether it's a person or a person, they are all the best choices.

Li Yanxian understood that this should be Wang Xiaolie's great honor.No matter what the reason was, Wang Xiaolie couldn't come and go, so it fell on himself.He understands better that his offer of captives this time represents the image of Wang Xiao's hunting army.In every word and deed, no mistakes are allowed.

The team didn't move fast, and after walking for a long time in the heavy rain, they finally arrived in front of Lizheng Gate.
