After You Shixiong and Chen Qing received the news, they rushed back to Xilan Zong Fort on the third day. It is estimated that it was day and night, and I didn't have much rest. Even when they came back in the carriage, the two of them still had very obvious dark circles under their eyes.

"Qingyi Ghost Chapter was caught by you? Attaboy! You Shixiong patted Tang Ning on the shoulder, and then asked Tang Ning where he had locked up the ghost chapter.

Tang Ning replied that he was in prison, and You Shixiong hurriedly went over to confirm. And Chen Qing asked Tang Ning to lead him to see Ali Gu, because Ali Gu was also on Tang Ning's list of captures.

Ali Gu has been really painful and happy these days, he has lost his position as a ruler, and while he has been relieved of the heavy burden on his shoulders, he has begun to die of drunken dreams under the preferential treatment of Tang Ning.

The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and Ali Gu is no longer the ruler of Qingtang. But he still has the blood of Jiaoluo in his body, and the people of Qingtang still have an instinctive fear and respect for him.

After all, the male lord of the Jiaoluo generation has relied on real swords and guns to get the place of Qingtang in his hands and carry it forward. Without Jiaoguoluo, there would be no Qingtang people, and there would be no Ali bones.

Whereas, Ali Gu once wrote a letter about surrender, but was intercepted by the ghost chapter. After knowing that Ali Gu had no intention of resisting, Tang Ning couldn't treat him with the same treatment as Ghost Zhang.

It's just that he can't leave Xilan Sect Castle, he can't leave the sight of Song Jun who is following behind him, and Tang Ning doesn't bother to care about what he likes to do the rest.

So when he was wandering around the city, he met a Qingtang family. That stupid Qingtang common man actually gave his daughter to Ali Gu.

Ali Gu, who had a woman, quickly indulged in the gentle township, but the good times didn't last long, and it was only a few days before Chen Qing came.

Ali Gu has seen Chen Qing, and Chen Qing went to see Ali Gu as an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty a long time ago.

This time, Chen Qing brought Tang Ning and the soldiers of the Song army to come, and Ali Gu, who was holding the beauty in his arms, suddenly became very excited: "You are here!" You're still here!

You have taken my land! Took away the throne that belongs to me! Are you going to take my life now?!

Come on! I have nothing left to lose! Kill me! ”

Chen Qing calmly watched Ali Gu play crazy, and finally when Ali Gu squatted on the ground holding his thighs and cried, Chen Qing said in a deep voice: "Your wife and children, this official has already sent someone to send them to Bianliang." ”

"What? They're not dead?! Are they still alive?! ”

"Yes, and you'll be reunited with them soon." Chen Qing looked at Ali Gu with pity: "Let's go to Bianliang City with Qingyi Ghost Chapter, the official family really wants to see the two of you." ”

Ali Gu swallowed his saliva, while Chen Qing turned around and left directly.

"Shall we go?" Downing when going out

I couldn't help but ask.

"Or else?" Chen Qing asked rhetorically: "He is already like that, whether he is pretending to be crazy or stupid, or he is really depressed." All in all, he is now disheartened, and now he is in a state that is very suitable for going to the official family. ”

Tang Ning nodded thoughtfully, although he didn't know why the current Ali Gu was more suitable to meet Zhao Xu......

Qingtang's good news spread frequently, and Zhao Xu's will was quickly issued.

On August 27 of the first year of Shaosheng, the angel arrived in Qingtang City and appointed You Shixiong as the pacification envoy of Shanzhou, Chen Qing as the envoy of Huangzhou, and Shanzhou, Huangzhou, Kuozhou, and Jishi troops entered Qinfeng Road, and promoted and rewarded the soldiers of the Song army according to their military merits.

At the same time, it was announced that Ali's bones entered Bianliang, and the ghost chapter was ordered to enter Bianliang. Qingtang captives are from the bottom of Ali bones, and they are rewarded and punished as appropriate. The Kakuro regime was thus dissolved.

In addition, there are some decrees that have quieted down the worried Qingtang people, such as the tax exemption in the four states for five years, and all those who are not guilty of the most heinous crimes will be pardoned.

It is worth noting that the angel also specially brought Tang Ning a test paper that had already been answered, but Tang Ning was needed to sign it.

"The official family treats you well!" Cheng Yang said with emotion: "This is Tekko, and some people advocated abolishing it a long time ago. It's been a long time since my Holy Dynasty opened a special department, and now the official family has opened a special department for you, you must not live up to the high expectations of the official family for you! ”

Tang Ning was also full of emotion, how could he be so virtuous, and he could be so valued by the king of a country?

At this point, the Qingtang War ended, and the Song army used 200,000 troops to attack Qingtang in this war, and paid 50,000 lives as a price to incorporate Qingtang into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

After the battle is over, it is time for each to go back to his own house and find his own mother.

The Zhenjiang army did not retreat with the large army, they still had to go to Wachui Village to gather with the soldiers stationed there, and then enter the capital to face the saint.

Of all the troops involved in the operation, only the Zhenjiang Army and a small number of soldiers were honored.

This once again made people curious about the Zhenjiang Army, a military unit, which should be about 50,000 people. However, with only 4,500 people, they received extraordinary attention from the emperor.

Those who know the inside story understand that the Zhenjiang Army said that it was under the banner of a new-style army, but in fact he was formed by Zhao Xu, and there was no problem in saying that this was Zhao Xu's private army.

Therefore, the generals of the other troops who expressed dissatisfaction with this were all beaten by their superiors without exception, and the reason was nothing more than that you want to die by yourself, don't drag Lao Tzu to die together.

The way back is much easier. The name of the Zhenjiang Army Tang Killing Star is well-known among the heroes of the green forest, and when these people heard this name, they trembled, and they almost wanted to go first.

The bandits along the way would rather go somewhere else to avoid the limelight than to avoid the limelight

The intention appeared on the road of the Zhenjiang Army's advance.

This made Tang Ning a little disappointed in his leisure, the robbers didn't come out, where did the Zhenjiang army go to make money?

At the end of September, the weather turned cooler. The Zhenjiang army and a group of soldiers who returned from Qingtang also arrived at Bianliang City.

It is still Xihua Gate, and this time Zhao Xu's reception of the soldiers is more grand than the last time, and the courtesy is more grand.

Expanding territory has always been the greatest pursuit of feudal dynasties. After the Great Song Dynasty eliminated the remnants of the secessionist regime of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms during the Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi periods, it basically did not expand its territory again.

This time, he obtained the land of Sizhou and opened up a thousand miles for the Great Song Dynasty, and even the most hard-line anti-war faction obediently closed his mouth.

Zhao Xu's wise decision-making was unanimously admired by the ministers of the DPRK and China, who said that Zhao Xu was a young and promising and extremely wise saint.

Zhao Xu was also a little fluttery, but he was quickly poured cold water.

At the court meeting on the second day, Tang Ning, You Shixiong, Chen Qing, and some generals and ministers who returned to Beijing to accept the reward this time attended as special guests.

Zhao Xu praised everyone one by one, and everyone turned over and over those few words, if it weren't for your order, we wouldn't be able to do what we are doing now.

Looking at the smug look on Zhao Xu's face that he was about to take off, Tang Ning knew that someone would definitely stand up and pour cold water on him, but he never expected that it was not the imperial history who was responsible for admonishing Zhao Xu who poured cold water on Zhao Xu, but a minister who joined the army.

Zhang Shuye joined the army in Lanzhou, he liked to talk about the art of war since he was a child, and this time in the process of following Chen Qing to fight on the northern front, he also repeatedly offered advice to be adopted, and the ghost chapter who set up an ambush at Heilongkou and fled, it was his idea.

So this time, he also came to Bianliang.

Zhang Shuye's words were very sharp, although he didn't say it explicitly, but his words still expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhao Xu very vaguely, and persuaded Zhao Xu not to get carried away, so happy, don't forget that these four states were exchanged for the lives of 50,000 soldiers.

It is gratifying to expand the territory, but it is not good to use military force because of this.

After Uncle Zhang finished speaking, several imperial historians also stood up and said, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Zhao Xu was originally very happy, but when he was said like this, he was not happy. Before the age of twenty, he had done a big thing, and he was so excited that he desperately needed the approval of others at this time.

And now that he has been poured cold water, how can he not be angry?

But what Zhang Shuye said was right, it was indeed like this, so Zhao Xu was not easy to lose his temper, and he had to pull out a smile and say to Zhang Shuye You are right, I will pay attention......

So when Tang Ning was summoned by Zhao Xu after retiring from the dynasty, he was not surprised at all when he saw Zhao Xu beating the quilt with his small fists in the imperial study......
