"Your Majesty, General Zhang led his subordinates and the Warat people back to the division and captured these western captives, and then executed all of them according to the holy decree, leaving only thirty-six people as prisoners. The head of Xilu was cut off and a Jingguan was built, and the corpse was set on fire to be burned to ashes. ”

"In this battle, all the generals of the Western captives resolutely led troops to resist the Ming army, so that no generals were captured. The corpses of some of the generals, Shahru, the grandson of Timur,...... The corpses of others were not identified, so they could only be cremated together. ”

"General Zhang left 5,000 garrisons in Urumqi, and on the second day, August 11, he led the rest of the soldiers and the Warat people led by Mahamu to return to Yiwu, and they were able to return to Yiwu on August 20."

Of the 12,000 men and horses of the government army led by the Song commander, only more than 200 survived, and dozens of them were seriously injured or disabled. Commander Song led less than 200 soldiers who were still intact to return with General Zhang. ”

"There are just over 200 people left, and dozens more are seriously injured or disabled." Yun Xi sighed when he heard this, but didn't say anything more.

He asked some more details about this shop, took the recital written by Zhang Fu himself from him, and then let him go down.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, and the Western Captives of the Eastern Expedition have been annihilated! Promote my Ming national prestige! Your Majesty! Xu Huizu immediately congratulated.

"Most of this battle is under your command, and I am just sitting in the Chinese army. You have commanded a large army to fight against the Western Captives, and you have done a great job, and I will not hesitate to reward you! Yun Xi said while flipping through the folds.

"If there is no Your Majesty in the middle of the dispatch, how can the ministers and others command the soldiers to fight with the Western Prisoners with peace of mind? What's more, His Majesty saw that the arrangements of the ministers were inappropriate, and the several arrangements that were made to overcome public opinion were very correct. Therefore, the minister thinks that the first merit of this battle should be His Majesty himself! Xu Huizu said again.

Yun Xi gave him a few words, and when he said it resolutely, he couldn't help but say: "That's it, I won't argue with you about this matter, and I won't reward myself anyway." ”

He said to Wang Gong beside him: "You go to the King of Qin and ask him to arrange the celebration in Yiwu, the time is the 21st or 22nd, and you must prepare everything on the 20th." ”

"You send someone to find Chen Ji again, and let Chen Ji and Gao Xiang assist King Qin in arranging this matter, and you must not make mistakes!"

"Yes, official." Wang Gong agreed, turned around and retreated.

"Your Majesty, since you are going to hold a celebration banquet, Your Majesty and the ministers will not discuss the plan with His Royal Highness the King of Qin for the time being, and then inform His Royal Highness the King of Qin after the celebration banquet is held, and let His Highness lead the troops to the west."

"Is it to be the current minister or to retire. It just so happened to inform the soldiers of this good news. When Xu Huizu said these words, he was about to bow down and retreat.

"Slow!" Yun Xi said suddenly. Xu Huizu could only stop and look at him with slightly puzzled eyes.

"Now that this battle is over, it's time to reward the merits. Most of them have already thought about it, and they just need to think about it again in the next few days, and then prepare the decree and have it read out on the day of the celebration. ”

"But in the end, the war that wiped out all the Western captives suddenly appeared and the Warats were not sure for a moment how to reward them."

"Although they finally blocked the Xilu, but it was also because of the 12,000 soldiers who fought on the left and right sides of the government army before, otherwise, it is estimated that the Xilu would have escaped before they arrived in Urumqi City."

"What's more, Mahamu has been standing still before, obviously at both ends of the first rat in the middle of me and 1, if this battle is lost by me, he should lead the Warat people to the east to follow 1 to attack Daming together, right? For such a wall grass, I don't think I can give them too many rewards. ”

"However, after all, the Warat people finally annihilated the Western Captives together with Zhang Fu's troops, and the credit is not small, and if Mahamu and others are not rewarded, I am afraid that the Mongol soldiers in the other armies will be uneasy. After all, they are the same Mongols as the Warats, and it is easy to empathize. ”

"So Xu Aiqing, how do you think you should reward Mahamu and other Warat leaders?"

Yun Xi was a little entangled. He was very reluctant to give too many rewards to the Warats, but the strength of the Warats was not weak, and the merits of this battle were not small, and it was not good if the rewards were too thin.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should be rewarded more heavily." Xu Huizu pondered for a while, and cautiously said to Yun Xi: "The minister thinks that Mahamu and others have made great contributions and should be rewarded; Second, according to what Shicai Pubing said and the situation that the ministers had explored before, the Warat people were not weak, and at this time, even above the big and inappropriate Yili people, he should be allowed to lead troops to follow His Royal Highness the King of Qin to the west to conquer Samarkand. ”

"Since you want him to lead troops to follow His Royal Highness King Qin to the west to conquer Samarkand City, then at this time, we should try to encircle Ma Hamu and others, so that they are willing to lead troops to follow the western expedition."

"This is the minister's idea, and I ask Your Majesty to decide."

"Okay." Yun Xi pondered for a while and finally said: "I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf, so I will reward him first and make him happy for a few days." ”

When Xu Huizu heard this, he frowned. Your Majesty's words are good, but the words are colloquialisms, which is not good. But he didn't move, just stood aside and listened to the order.

Yun Xi ordered him a few more words and told him to step back.

The news of the complete annihilation of the Western captives and the retreat of the troops near Urumqi quickly spread throughout the military camp, causing everyone to rejoice. Not only because the battle was finally won, but also because a celebration banquet was about to be held. Everyone's merit will be rewarded. For a time, the camp was full of words talking about what reward he could get for his merits.

There are also many people who found Xu Huizu and other deputy generals of the general army to drill the camp. In fact, the drill camp started as early as the second day of August. Although it is up to His Majesty to decide how to evaluate the final merits and how to reward them, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the whole army, how can Your Majesty have the leisure to check them one by one? Not according to their recital? Although it is difficult to change the credit, the same credit is likely to have different results when the same credit is said in different words. Therefore, the people went around camping, and they could not stop it. Some people even asked Wang Gong and others to say a few kind words when they read the newspaper in the emperor. However, Wang Gong rejected them all.

There are also some people who have not gone to camp everywhere, but they have no intention of continuing to practice, and their precautions have been much lax. Because Yiwu was still very desolate and there was no place for recreation, the soldiers could only drink and gamble in the barracks. Yun Xi knew that he could only order to limit the amount of alcohol he consumed, and stipulate that he was not allowed to drink alcohol when gambling money, and the others were left to their own devices. What's more, he was also struggling with how to reward him, and he didn't care about it.

In this way, the time came to August 21, the day of the celebration banquet.
