This is how the battle of Ezhou ended.

When Yang Feng returned to Ezhou on a warship, the soldiers and civilians in the city were already cheering for this glorious victory.

This is an unprecedented victory.

It was also the most glorious victory in the Song-Mongolian War.

Although the Song army beheaded only 6,000, and a large part of it was done by Yang Feng, and 10,000 were captured, but the casualties of the Song army were close to 20,000, and the losses of both sides were about the same, if you really want to count the genuine Mongolian soldiers, it is estimated that it is only one-third, it is obvious that Jia seems to be right not to continue the pursuit, in terms of the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides, continuing to pursue must be a big defeat, this is the helplessness of the infantry to the cavalry, victory can be obtained, but it cannot be used to maximize the results, On the contrary, if it is the Song army that loses, it will definitely be a collapse.

Of course, this capture figure is the real number without water, as for the ...... reported to Lin'an.

"One hundred thousand!"

Jia Rudao shouted excitedly.

"Today, there is a national teacher who is invincible, all the soldiers are fighting bravely, capturing 100,000, beheading nearly 100 of their names, the Tartar chief Kublai Khan is only spared, this great feat, the old man has played the official family, you can wait!"

He continued to shout with his glass in his hand.

Then a group of generals raised their glasses and drank this celebration wine, but Yang Feng sat down and smiled silently, at this time, an officer hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words in Jia Yidao's ear, the latter's face remained unchanged and signaled him to retreat, and then Jia Yidao looked at Yang Feng, Yang Daxian said indifferently: "But the Tartars are surrounding Tanzhou?" ”

"The national teacher is clever, and it is indeed the Tartars who besiege Tanzhou."

Jia Rudao said hurriedly.

Of course he didn't know, there was no pressure at the distance of Yang Feng's hearing.

"How does Shi Xian want to end this endgame?"

Yang Feng said.

"National teacher, there are still no less than 60,000 Tartars in Jiangnan now, although the pontoon bridge is cut off but not alone, before Zheng Ding's army has entered Jiangxi, if the Tartars go south, and the Wuliang Hetai of Weitan Prefecture will join forces to Lin'an, I am afraid it will disturb the holy car, you need to know that it is mainly cavalry, and we are all foot soldiers are difficult to catch."

Jia Rudao said.

Apparently he was still quite sober.

For the Southern Song Dynasty, what is most feared now is not the Mongol army destroying the Song Dynasty, but the latter's destruction of the south of the Yangtze River, the 60,000 Mongol troops on the south bank, if they continue to go down the river to the east, then there will be no cities along the way to stop them, because there is no army that can fight along the way, before Kublai Khan divided a partial division led by Zheng Ding can easily kill into Jiangxi, then this huge group of 60,000 troops can easily break through any city, and there is no need to consider logistics to support the war, and the downstream is all the richest states and counties in the Southern Song Dynasty at this time, Just take a big city to loot enough supplies, and the Song army's biggest reliance is that the Yangtze River can quickly mobilize troops, but what if these 60,000 Mongol troops leave the Yangtze River and head south?

They would easily hit Longxing Mansion, that is, Nanchang, and then Wuliang Hetai would immediately abandon Tanzhou and join them, and then go east along the Xinzhou Quzhou route to Lin'an.

Then Song Jun was dumbfounded.

Because it is impossible for Jia Yidao's army to pursue the Mongolian cavalry beyond the Yangtze River, even if he can rush to Lin'an in advance to set up defenses, and finally eliminate this Mongolian army, but Jiangnan is also ruined, this road is all the foundation of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty's finances, which are already on the verge of collapse, will completely collapse, and those people in the south of the Yangtze River who have not experienced war for more than a hundred years and have no resistance at all will be killed by the butcher's knife of the Mongolian iron cavalry.

"So what does Shixian mean?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"National teacher, disciple courage, we should make peace with that Kublai Khan."

Jia Rudao said.

"Let's allow the Mongolian army in Jiangnan to return to the north, Kublai Khan recalled Wuliang Hetai, and the two will stop the army, if Kublai Khan returns north, he will inevitably fight for the throne, Meng Ge is killed by the national teacher, and the Mongolian kings are incompatible with each other, and its civil war is inevitable, so that we can protect Jiangnan from poison, and we can sit back and watch its internal strife, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

He said quite triumphantly.

In the final analysis, for him, or for the Southern Song Dynasty, the most important thing is not to let the flames of war burn from upstream to downstream, otherwise even if the victory is worth the loss.

"You are the commander, and everything is up to you!"

Yang Feng said indifferently.

This is the best solution, if the combat effectiveness of the Song army can guarantee to swallow the 60,000 Mongolian army in one fell swoop, then he doesn't mind killing a happy one, but at present, the combat effectiveness of the Song army can't do this, then you can only choose the most reasonable, even if the Song army in Ezhou is loaded immediately, and then transported downstream at the fastest speed, it is useless, unless he personally goes out of the horse, otherwise the Song army will not be able to recapture the Shouchang army and Xing before the main force of the Mongolian army on the south bank arrives. In fact, he personally went out to choke enough, because at this time, it is estimated that the Mongolian army has already advanced **, this place is basically equivalent to Daye, and the Mongolian army led by Zheng Ding is from here to the south into the hinterland of Jiangxi, just tens of kilometers away, the Mongolian cavalry has already run over during this time.

His acquiescence solved Jia Yidao's last concern, although theoretically he didn't need to listen to Yang Feng, but now he didn't have the guts.

As for how to contact Kublai Khan......

Of course, he has his own channels, in fact, I am afraid that he had contact with Kublai Khan before the war, and it is very common for each other to test the bottom line during the war, these have nothing to do with Yang Feng, he just enjoys the worship of all people in Ezhou, in addition, he also asked Jia Nidao for 500 war horses, which was sent to Chengdu by Lu Wende to give the Dangkou army, this battle Jia Nidao captured 5,000 war horses, this number is simply an overnight fortune for the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, you must know that in the original history, when Jia Nidao broke through to Huangzhou, in order to escort himself, He only collected 700 cavalry.

Of course, Yang Feng of so many war horses has to share it.

He also asked for a part of the captured property to be given to the Dangkou army, and even Kublai Khan's base camp was copied by him, which was naturally indispensable.

In short, the next war has nothing to do with him, he has been living for nearly a month under the pious service of the Ezhou army and civilians, during which Jia Rudao quickly reached peace talks with Kublai Khan, the two can be said to hit it off on this issue, Kublai Khan almost accepted the terms of the peace talks, the Southern Song Dynasty let the Mongolian army return to the north on the south bank, Kublai Khan sent a messenger to recall Wuliang Hetai to return to the north together, the two sides restored the pre-war border, the Mongolian army withdrew to Henan, and even restored to the original Song-Jin border, Kublai Khan sent a messenger to Lin'an to apologize, It is very important to apologize for the unexplained invasion of the Song Dynasty, so that Jia Yidao can silence the mouths of those ministers in the DPRK and China, and the two countries will coexist peacefully and not invade each other in the future.

In fact, Jia Rudao also insisted that the Song-Jin border should also be restored in Sichuan and Hanzhong, and Kublai Khan prevaricated on the grounds that he was not yet a Mongol Khan and could not control Sichuan, but promised that he would return the land south of the Qinling Mountains after he became the Great Khan.

Of course, this is just talk.

In short, the war between the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia that lasted for seven years came to an end, and when the war will start again depends on the situation, at least for the time being, the two sides have restored peace, the eastern front has completely restored the borders of the original Song-Jin confrontation, and the entire Huaixi and Eastern Hubei occupied by Kublai Khan before have all been returned, including the land occupied by the Wuliang Hetai Department from the north and south of Anbei has also been returned, and the latter led the Mongolian cavalry to the north a month later, and the accompanying servant army withdrew the original way and retreated to Dali, Kublai Khan, who was anxious to go back to fight for the throne, completed the withdrawal of his troops with great vigour, and the two sides did not have any conflict after that, and even reached an agreement on mutual markets.

It is clear that Kublai Khan was also afraid that after he started a war with Ali Buge, the Song army would suddenly stab him in the back, especially Yang Daxian, who had caused him serious psychological and physical harm, and specially sent an envoy with a generous gift to apologize, and then Yang Feng left his gift to drive away his envoy.

Of course, gifts can be left behind.

A month later, Yang Daxian waited in Ezhou for the envoy sent by the Great Song Emperor Zhao Yun, but this time the envoy was not a eunuch, the envoy who named Yang Feng as the national teacher had already arrived, this time it was the messenger who welcomed the national teacher to Lin'an, Zhao Yun sent his adopted son, Zhongwang Zhao came to meet the national teacher on his behalf, Zhao Yun's only son died very early, Zhao is actually the heir to the throne, but he has not been officially canonized as the crown prince, originally in history he was quickly canonized, that is, the legend of the mentally handicapped Song Duzong, but Yang Feng saw that he was not mentally retarded, It's more like Liu Chan.

In a sense, the last two emperors of the Song Dynasty were legendary.

Zhao Yun is actually equivalent to a commoner, he is a distant branch of the clan, not to mention glory and wealth, but he doesn't even get an official, his life is very difficult, and he even has to live with his brother, his brother is actually just a security chief, he came to power just because Minister Shi Miyuan needs a puppet. As for Zhao is the son of Zhao Yun's younger brother, but he was born by a concubine, and his mother was forced to give birth pills by the eldest woman before he was born, but it is estimated that the medicine is insufficient or he bought fake medicine, he was still born tenaciously, but his body is very weak and his intellectual development is relatively slow, but he still became the emperor with the support of Jia Yidao and others.

In fact, at this time, the Southern Song Dynasty was a bit like the British nobles who would rather have foreigners as kings than domestic goods, and the princes and ministers would rather have distant clans that are almost as far away as the sky, and even children who are intellectually stunted, and even children of a few years old, in short, they are very special, and they don't want normal emperors.

To put it bluntly.

Good control.

If the Southern Song Dynasty does not perish, sooner or later the country will have to be tossed by the gentry to resemble Britain, and the power of the monarch will be emptied, and then the whole country will be decided by the gentry, and their purpose will be like this, and the final form may be different, but the essence will not be much different, but it will not resist the iron hooves of the Mongol army, so that China will suddenly regress to the era of almost slavery.

Just like the end of the Ming Dynasty, barbarism interrupted the progress of civilization.

This has to be said to be a kind of sadness.
