Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 326 There is still a big drama to be performed
Seeing that Zhao Mu was safe and sound, Hu Yanjin also let out a sigh of relief.

Then she laughed too. But there were tears in her smile.

Not only Hu Yanjin, but also other Song soldiers and even King Zhongxiao cried with joy.

They were all happy that the Song Dynasty finally defeated the Liao soldiers once. Moreover, he still beat the opponent with an absolute advantage, making him pee and run away with his head in his arms. Seeing the Liao soldiers escaping in such embarrassment, everyone felt the excitement of suddenly seeing light after being in the abyss for a long time, the feeling of being saved, which made everyone cry with joy.

However, Hu Yanjin was not entirely because the Song Dynasty defeated the Liao army head-on. It's because Zhao Mu showed his extraordinary bravery.

When it comes to personal bravery, everyone agrees that "the king is no better than Xiang, and the general is no better than Li", and the strength Zhao Mu showed today is not inferior to the two of them in the slightest. Now if Hu Yanjin told her father that she wanted to marry Zhao Mu as a concubine, I believe he would not object.

Of course King Zhongxiao would not object this time. Zhao Mu won his first victory against Liao, something that even Taizong Zhao Guangyi had never accomplished.

This victory was of great significance. It not only boosted the hearts of the Song Dynasty, but also accumulated prestige for Emperor Zhezong. It is the beginning of a big change. Moreover, the myth of the Liao army's invincibility was broken after this battle. As for what other tribes oppressed by the Khitans will think, that is their own problem.

However, after Zhao Mu returned to Beijing this time, Prince Zhongxiao's family was not the only one waiting for his marriage request. Zhao Mu was originally a famous person in front of the emperor, but now he has made such a huge contribution. After returning, Zhao Ji was very busy. From the other nobles to the six ministers, anyone who had a girl who had not left the court would recommend her to Zhao Mu. Even if she spent ten miles of red makeup and a thousand pieces of gold as a dowry, she wanted to marry Zhao Mu. The in-laws become concubines.

Zhao Mu was looking at the setting sun and the Liao army camp in the distance. It seems to be witnessing the afterglow of an empire that is about to pass away.

At this moment, Hu Yanjin rode over on a fast horse.

He put his long sword back into its scabbard, and then said: "Forget it, we've had enough fun today. Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"

Zhao Mu said: "This scene is much smaller than I imagined."

When the troops saw the order to retreat, they retreated in an orderly manner.

Hu Yanjin then took out the command flag from his waist and waved the command flag in his hand at the troops behind him who had not yet arrived.

Zhao Mu calmed down the unpleasant smell of blood on his shirt, and then said: "Really, it turned out like this. Let's go back and take a shower first. I don't want to smell this blood smell for a moment anymore."

Hu Yanjin rode up to Zhao Mu's side. She turned over and dismounted and looked at Zhao Mu who was covered in blood and said, "Sure enough, we have fought many battles in ancient times. We have finally seen such a scene today."

Zhao Mu looked at the afterglow of the setting sun and said softly: "Good night! Daliao!"

Hu Yanjin looked at the Liao camp from a distance and asked, "Then what should we do now? Continue the attack?"

This is how it is in this world. Just finish singing and I will appear. The Khitan people have been playing harp for hundreds of years, and it's time for them to take a "rest".

Zhao Mu stretched, pulled out the Tongguang Sword that was stuck on the ground, and then wiped away the remaining blood stains and soil with his shirt.

Zhao Mu whistled at this time, and the war horse Zhu Tianlong quickly ran towards Zhao Mu, and Zhao Mu got on his horse. Zhao Mu said to Hu Yanjin: "Sister Huyan, how about we compete with each other on who can go back first?"

Hu Yanjin also got on his horse and said, "You are so shameless. Your horse is a purebred Dawan horse. Can my horse compare with yours?"

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "Then Sister Huyan will probably have to chase after me for the rest of her life!" Hu Yanjin also said with a smile: "Then I will follow you for the rest of my life!"

After saying this, the two of them rode off together. Although the horse under Hu Yanjin's crotch was far inferior to Zhao Mu's bloody horse, Zhao Mu deliberately controlled the speed of the horse, and the two finally returned to the pass together with almost the same difference.

After returning home, the most inevitable thing for everyone is a celebration banquet.

Zhao Mu rewarded the soldiers who participated in the battle according to their merits as promised before. Of course, this time the infantry did not exert much force, and it was basically the cavalry who beheaded the enemy and made last blows.

Zhao Mu distributed rewards to these soldiers according to the previous agreement, which made everyone else covetous.

However, Zhao Mu was not stingy. In this battle, Zhao Mu gave rewards to all those who participated in the battle. For those infantry troops who did not contribute much, he rewarded each of them two taels of silver, and each of the officers received five taels.

As for the two who helped Zhao Mu and kidnapped the Liao army's vanguard general back, Zhao Mu gave them a discount and rewarded them fifty taels of silver each.

The number of casualties of the Song Army in this battle was only more than fifty. These people only suffered varying degrees of injuries, but none died. Most of them rushed too hard and were injured by enemy arrows. Several of the horses were frightened and fell off their horses. The other two were on the battlefield for the first time and still had compassion. They were stabbed in the waist when they pitied the wounded soldiers of the Liao army. Although he was injured, his life was saved because he wore armor.

After Zhao Mu changed out of his armor and battle clothes, he gave them to Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju to clean them. Zhao Mu, Qiao Feng, Gao Mei, Duan Yu, King Zhongxiao, and other generals in Xiongzhou Pass were drinking celebratory wine in the hall.

A'Zhu stood beside Zhao Mu, always helping him pour wine.

King Zhongxiao was the happiest. He raised his wine glass and said, "The King of Zhongshan is so brave that he won the first battle. I admire him very much."

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "The old prince has given you too much praise. Zhao Mu is just a man who showed off his bravery for a while. When it comes to the real siege of cities and territories, he is far inferior to the talents of generals like the old prince."

Zhao Mu asked at this time: "By the way, Prince Zhongxiao, what is the identity of the person I captured? Has our interrogation concluded?"

King Zhongxiao replied: "I have asked before. This man's name is Xiao Ye. He is a forward general of the Liao Kingdom and a member of the Xiao family of the Empress Dowager's mother clan."

Zhao Mu chuckled and said, "I thought I caught some big fish, but it turned out that I was just a handyman, boring and boring."

After hearing Zhao Mu's loud words, no one objected now.

Everyone saw with their own eyes today that Zhao Mu killed the most courageous forward camp of Liao Kingdom's South Campus with just one sword. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and rats scurried away with their heads covered. He is qualified to say this.

However, the fish caught by Zhao Mu this time is indeed not too small. Although the forward general is not as high as the South Academy King, Yelu Yanping and others. But this can be regarded as the most senior general captured alive by the Song Army and the Liao Kingdom for so many years.

Hu Yanjin suggested at this time: "Why don't we escort the prisoners back to Bianjing immediately and report our results to the court. I think."

Before Hu Yanjin finished speaking, Zhao Mu waved his hand and said, "No! Our battle is not over yet. How can we just report the results like this! I have a big show to sing tonight."
