Chapter 715 Brilliant Victory

It is precisely because of the idea that Xiao Ruxun is not from the same way that Xiao Ruxun thinks so much. If you want to find a big civil servant as a backer, it is too easy.

However, no matter how you think about it, Xiao Ruxun is unwilling to let herself become an accomplice or a bystander.

He wants to do something, to do something for this dying country and era.

So Xiao Ruxun looked at Xu Guangqi and shook his head without hesitation.

"You are wrong, Zixian. If I am cautious, what do you think I can get? If I am arrogant, what do you think I can get? Or, do you think I shouldn't be arrogant? I won such a big victory , shouldn't you be arrogant?"

Xu Guangqi was stopped by the question.

Indeed, what do you gain by being cautious?What can you gain by being arrogant?

Compared to himself who has no officialdom experience, Xiao Ruxun has grown from a mere general to the No. 1 general of the Ming Empire. Now this position is as stable as Mount Tai. Doesn't it mean that his ability is stronger than himself?
Will he make a mistake on this kind of problem?

He must have his own purpose. The general's cautious thinking is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary reckless men.

In this way, what is his purpose?
Xu Guangqi hadn't thought it through yet.

It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter whether you understand it or not.

In the early morning of the next day, the Northern Expedition Army organized a grand celebration banquet. The sergeants slaughtered sheep and cattle to celebrate the victory. The protagonists of the show were naturally those unlucky captives. A piece of barbecue allows women to please themselves in various ways in exchange for a little meat to eat, and enjoy the joy of being a winner.

This is the joy that only the victors can enjoy.

The grand carnival banquet did not end until late at night. During this period, Xiao Ruxun allowed everything that the soldiers of the Ming army did to those captives. They could do whatever they wanted, and they couldn’t get rid of those noble captives who were going to be dedicated to the emperor. Die, among other things, at will.

Xiao Ruxun treats them very indulgently. Outside the Great Wall, they can do whatever they want. Xiao Ruxun himself may not be better than them. At this time, there is no need to control them, just let them vent to their heart's content.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Ruxun reorganized the army and announced the squadron, ending this short but significant Northern Expedition.

The end of the Northern Expedition was destruction. Xiao Ruxun ordered the army to completely destroy Guihua City, the only stronghold that the northern captives might have outside the Great Wall. All the corpses were piled up together, and together with Guihua City, they were burned. It was still burning three days after the retreat.

The only Tumed tribe that had a relationship with the Ming court different from all the northern captives outside the Great Wall has since ceased to exist. As its symbol, Guihua City, which had a peaceful and friendly relationship with the Ming court for decades, was completely destroyed by Xiao Ruxun, symbolizing The total destruction of this last bond.

No need, Da Ming no longer needs such an ally who can betray him at any time.

As for the admirable woman who dedicated her life to the friendship between Tumed and Ming Dynasty, she was discovered by soldiers of the Ming army in Guihua City.

When he was discovered, this venerable old man was already out of breath. Judging from the situation at the time, he should have been imprisoned here to take care of him. Then, for some reason, he was left to starve to death.

What a sad way to die.

Xiao Ruxun specially asked someone to find a secluded place, built a tombstone for the old lady, and buried her, which was an explanation for her lifelong long-cherished wish, but it was a pity that her dream could no longer be realized.

However, Xiao Ruxun collected a jade pendant that she always carried with her, and planned to build a jade tomb for her somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River after returning to Daming. The old woman in the house is a meager consolation...

When Xiao Ruxun led the army to return triumphantly, the remaining soldiers who had agreed to kill Hukou cheered loudly for the Northern Expeditionary Army. They had never seen such a glorious triumphant scene since they joined the army, and the excitement of these soldiers was taken for granted.

Of course, let’s not talk about those feelings of jealousy. Who told them that they can’t ride a horse?
Fang Shoushi and Sun Chengzong also arrived at Shahukou after hearing the news and witnessed this moment of great historical significance.

Xiao Ruxun really did what he said, and wiped out all the northern captives who were entrenched in Guihua City and might threaten the safety of Daming at any time. The countless heads and countless cattle, sheep and horses are the best evidence. In the first battle, Da Ming fought heartily.

From the humiliating loss of the city to the final triumphant return, probably only they know what kind of road these people have traveled. If the war just ended at that moment, then all that is left for them is shame.

But the war ended at a glorious moment, which means that they were brilliant and victorious, and this counterattack was a victory, not a failure.

Although most of the things they plundered belonged to themselves, under the leadership of the generals of the various armies, some of them were given to the public in the name of Xiao Ruxun, so that the house guards who were worried about the status quo of Datong were at least right. I saw a little hope.

Sun Chengzong witnessed the scene of the Ming army returning triumphantly from outside the Great Wall, which perfectly matched the scenes he had dreamed of countless times in his dreams.

The dejected captives, the soldiers with their heads held high, the majestic and majestic generals, and the flying battle flags all show a hearty victory and subtle changes of some unexpected things.

The mood of victory will fade with the passage of time, and this subtle change will slowly transform into something positive as time goes by. As for what it is, no one can say clearly .

Anyway, Sun Chengzong is hard to say.

It's just that the impact of this victory on him was so great that it couldn't be described in words.

The arrival of this victory greatly encouraged the people who were terrified by the previous war, and gave them the hope of returning to their homes and rebuilding their homes. The refugees in Datong finally began to return north. The broken order finally began to recover gradually.

Although this war brought heavy losses to Datong and Shanxi, fortunately, Datong and Shanxi had enough time to recover their losses.

Next, the protagonists are not Shanxi and Datong, but the sergeants who won this time.

This battle is an undisputed victory, so a triumphal prisoner presentation ceremony will inevitably be held. There are a large number of sergeants, and it is unrealistic to participate in all of them. It is inevitable to choose some sergeants with relatively high military exploits as representatives to participate in the triumphant prisoner presentation ceremony.

So a unique "fighting openly and secretly" started quietly.
