Yu Ban won very simply, after breaking up the cloud energy and then re-gathering the cloud energy. .

He directly issued the order for a decisive battle, and an unprecedented powerful offensive suddenly broke out from all directions.

The enemy will also condense the cloud energy, but this time difference is enough to prevent him from doing what he wants to do.

In almost a dozen breaths, the Northern Song Dynasty's army was dismantled into dozens of pieces, completely shredding the opponent's formation.

Although due to the special nature of the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, they could not directly swallow these chopped formations.

But this is enough. The command and dispatch of the Northern Song Dynasty army, adjustment and rendezvous, etc. have all become a joke. The formation has been cut into pieces by the opponent, how can there be any cooperation.

"Stabilize the formation! Stabilize the formation!" Li Hong shouted at the top of his lungs, but no one listened to him.

Faced with the situation where their own formations were cut into pieces, and the generals did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals, each legion ignored Li Hong's command and began to fight on their own. The clouds that had finally gathered above their heads completely collapsed into several pieces.

This is almost the level of a regular army falling directly to a mob. Even if the physical fitness of the soldiers on both sides is at the same level, the war between the two sides is already completely one-sided.

Because Yu Jin's side can still be regarded as a whole, maintaining the integrity of the organizational structure, facing this kind of chaotic battle with weapons, even if the opponents were originally of the same level, they can now easily fight one against five!

Even if it is an exaggeration, one against ten may be possible, so in essence, after any frontal war reaches the level of village-level armed fighting, it basically means that the entire army will be destroyed.

The biggest problem in the Northern Song Dynasty itself was the problem of morale. How could the soldiers who had already experienced a disastrous defeat maintain their fighting spirit in the face of a battlefield situation that had already completely failed.

"Put down your weapons and give preferential treatment to the prisoners!"

When Yu Jin loudly shouted slogans to persuade them to surrender, the soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty even lost their will to fight. As the first person dropped his weapon, a large number of soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty also put down their weapons.

This is the moment when the army was defeated like a mountain.

Li Hong looked at the scene in front of him with a smile. He could not change the broken morale of the soldiers, nor could he change the situation on the battlefield. In the end, he had no choice but to draw his sword and kill himself directly. He could still save his family if he died. If he surrendered, he would His family members are all dead.

Yu Jin couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the scene where Li Hong stabbed himself with a sword.

"He is a loyal man! Pass the order and give him a good burial after the war is over!"

With Li Hong drawing his sword and killing himself, the war ended completely, and tens of thousands of Northern Song Dynasty guards chose to surrender.

Of course, Jia Xu was not polite and directly ordered Yu Jin and Cao Ren to counterattack. Not only did they regain all the territory they had lost before, they even occupied two new cities.

The process of seizing the lost land was quite smooth, and the people who had just been squeezed by the imperial court quickly fell to the side of Xinghan.

If they have never seen the light, they can naturally endure the darkness, but after enjoying Xinghan's welfare policy, they can no longer go back.

When Yu Jin and Cao Ren entered the city, all the people were eating pots of milk to welcome the king's troops, and there was no obstacle at all.

Yu Jin and Cao Ren also restrained their soldiers and did not let them harass the people. They only publicly tried some wealthy families who started to work as collaborators after they left.

Jia Xu had long been unhappy with these parasites. He had never had a good chance to clean them up. This time, he retreated and made progress by directly letting these borers surface and take them all away in one wave.

The hearts and minds of the people in these territories were completely grasped by the Xinghan side, and the local young men began to enthusiastically join the army. No one wanted to encounter this kind of disaster again.

News of the defeat spread back to the Northern Song Dynasty court, causing complete turmoil inside and outside the court. For a time, public opinion completely plunged Zhao Huan into a whirlpool.

The sudden change of generals that resulted in a huge defeat once again chilled the generals of the Northern Song Dynasty. The benefits that the civil servants had finally divided up were also damaged, so Zhao Huan had to re-engage veteran generals to deal with the situation.

But the problem is that after such a lot of trouble, even these experienced veterans want to reorganize an elite army of the same size is almost impossible.

Insufficient manpower means not enough manpower. The imperial army stationed around the imperial court has been transferred to the south to suppress the rebellion. If the imperial army is mobilized again, the area around the imperial court will be completely empty.

How could the emperor of the Song Dynasty let this happen? Although he allocated a lot of money and supplies, when those scholar-bureaucrats got their hands on it, the money, food and supplies that reached the hands of the veterans were reduced by almost half.

What's even worse is that what the imperial court gave was not the imperial army, but some Xiang troops. These were basically young and strong soldiers who were stationed in the field, and they couldn't fight at all.

The veteran generals could only temporarily station these young men who could not fight in the border cities to guard against further invasion by the Xinghan army.

However, Xinghan has no desire to continue the fight. They are also afraid of pushing the people of the Northern Song Dynasty into panic. What they need now is a peaceful and stable development time. It is enough to cripple the Northern Song Dynasty in one outbreak, and the rest They want to get it through other means.

For example: negotiation.

"Wen He, this negotiation was originally intended to pacify the Northern Song Dynasty and exchange for time for peace. Why do you have to go there in person?" Xun Yu did not understand Jia Xu's decision.

He was confused by the government affairs in the Liao, Jin and Song Dynasties, but after hearing about Jia Xu's decision, he left the government affairs and ran over.

"The current internal situation in the Song Dynasty is very chaotic. I need to go and see those people who submitted the report in person!" Jia Xu shook his head. Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times.

For many people, if he can't meet him in person, he won't be able to determine what the other person is thinking. People's hearts are very complex, and it would be impossible to control everything through intelligence.

So he wanted to use the negotiation to go deep into the Song court and stir up the situation in the Song court.

He still had the same view. Instead of attacking Song Ting from the outside in the future, it would be better to collapse this strong fortress directly from the inside.

Two dragons fighting for the emperor might be a good idea.

The brothers Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou have been secretly separated under the plan of alienation, and now Zhao Huan is at the forefront of the storm. Maybe Zhao Gou really has other ideas in his heart.

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment and hesitated to speak. He did not agree with Jia Xu's method. He always believed that conspiracy and conspiracy should not be put on the stage, and the right way to crush was the king.

However, he believed that he was not as good as Jia Xu in this aspect, so in the end he could only keep silent.

There is a specialization in special skills. This is the consensus reached by every general among the Xinghan.

"How do you plan to talk?" Xun Yu asked after pondering for a moment.

"After I leave, you can let Yu Jin and Cao Ren station troops at the border and pretend to attack the city. Even if it is a peace negotiation, Song Ting will have to pay some price!"

Jia Xu sneered. He planned to kill Da Song with a knife. Zhuge Liang's success in Anxi gave Jia Xu many new ideas. Now is the time to apply them. As long as they are used well, they can directly cut out a large piece of flesh from the Northern Song Dynasty.

Gold and silver are of little significance to Xinghan. What is really useful are young men and craftsmen. With these people, their construction speed can be greatly improved.

Development plans for the next three years have been sent to them from all over Luoyang, although most of the goals are staged to allow them to complete them as much as possible.

But Jia Xu felt that it was entirely possible for them to accomplish all these goals, and since they wanted to accomplish them, they needed someone.

Recruiting a group of people from the Northern Song Dynasty is also a good choice.

……

"If you have something to report, go back to court if nothing happens!"

Mu Yi sat on the throne with his face raised, looking at the civil and military officials below in boredom.

He really didn't want to come to the court meeting, but sometimes the boring system happened to be the basis for maintaining order.

In order to set an example, he could only sit here and prepare to be bombarded by hundreds of officials.

A bombing in the literal sense. Due to the temporary pacification of foreign aggression, a lot of government affairs have been piled up, and many things need to be discussed and adjudicated publicly.

Even if some things have been shown to him, the procedures that need to be followed still need to be followed, and some things still need to be adjudicated on formal occasions in order to be more authoritative and effective.

Because most of the manpower has been sent out, Huang Tianji is now in charge of presiding over the meeting.

Huang Tianji reported the recent situation realistically and quickly, and then Mu Yizhun, Yun, and other answers all passed.

There is nothing much to say about these things. They are basically things that have already been done, mixed with rewards for certain people and the like.

For example, granting marquisships to Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others were all calculated according to Huang Tianji's military merit system. There was no dispute and all were passed.

Saying it at the court meeting was just to follow the procedures, similar to announcing it to the world.

The officials had nothing to say about this. The achievements of the people who were awarded the awards were all real. Even if they wanted to refute, they had no reason. They could only say a few words of emotion about the birth of the youngest feudal lord.

Of course, these are all routine notifications. If it is important, it is not that important. Just report it. In a quarter of an hour, Huang Tianji reported what should be reported. After completing the current process, the main show began. .

In addition to those things that go through the process, there are also many things that have no results through negotiation at all. These things need to be publicly adjudicated before they can be implemented.

"Xiqiang County has completed the consolidation of villages and villages, opening up hundreds of miles of territory for the Xinghan. Now the roads on the plateau are impassable. Please have mercy on the emperor and mobilize the Turkish troops to pave the way for Xiqiang County!"

No one expected that Ma Chao would be the first one to run out.

Ma Chao presented the memorial as the Qiang King, turning private matters into official matters.

He went to find the relevant officials before, but found out that this thing was not done, but there was no technology to do it. In the end, he had to let the Army Soul Legion, which had been renamed Houtu Legion, take action.

As for the mobilization of the Army Soul Legion, it was 100% necessary to go through Mu Yi. After Ma Chao consulted with Zhou Yu, he chose to report the matter.

Mu Yi glanced at Ma Chao curiously. This thing was definitely not what Ma Chao could think of, but it didn't matter. This thing itself was a policy benefit. He did say at that time that after the villages were merged, the roads could be paved by officials. .

"That's right, the specific matters will be followed up by the Ministry of Industry, and the military order for mobilizing the Turkish Army will be sent to the Ministry of Industry!" Mu Yi waved his hand, and this matter was successfully passed.

"Thank you, Emperor!" Ma Chao stepped back excitedly.

No one spoke in the audience. This kind of infrastructure type matter should not be discussed at this time in theory. However, considering Ma Chao's brain capacity and the special environment of the western plateau, they acquiesced.

"When the world is unified, the Central Plains has been determined. Prices in all directions and taxes on various items should be re-determined to equalize prices." Soon someone raised the big head.

The person who presented the report was Mi Zhu, who was basically in charge of half of Xinghan's business, while the other half was in the hands of Huang Tianji.

Mu Yi felt a headache when he heard this. Economic problems cannot be solved simply across the board, especially those involving people's livelihood.

The so-called flat price is nonsense. Can seafood from the sea and seafood from the mainland be the same thing?

Even now, because of the convenient logistics brought by Huang Tianji's magic network, regional characteristics still exist.

Huang Tianji projected Mi Zhu's report into the palace. The officials who had doubts immediately came forward to ask, and Mi Zhu answered them one by one. The fact that this thing can be taken out at this time has actually gone through preliminary review.

The prices of things like grain and salt are fixed, while other things have a certain amount of room for increase.

Of course, this is actually secondary, the main thing is to unify weights and measures.

This thing was conceptualized in the Qin Dynasty, but in modern times, there are still size issues, which can be regarded as greed and historical issues.

Both the ruler and the bucket have a tendency to become larger over time. The reason is very simple. For the common people, when a bucket of grain is handed over, the small bucket pays less and the big bucket pays more. This thing is not much, which is equivalent to paying from each bucket. Deduct more from the people.

But if the official bucket is made larger, more people can be exploited.

Assuming that one person pays tax per dou, and the big dou is one liter larger than the small dou, then a county can collect hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of liters more grain, and no one will cause trouble.

Even some officials would use a big bucket to collect grain not because of greed, but because of political performance.

When they turn it over, they will change it into a small bucket. After this, the amount of food they pay tax will increase. This thing is political achievement.

After all, the amount of food tax revenue in agricultural society is a very important assessment for officials. The more tax revenue, the better you manage the local area.

Therefore, it is convenient to use a big fight or something. For an unscrupulous creature like an official, what can't this kind of thing be done? After all, it is about climbing up, it is a convenient thing!

Moreover, each household only deducts a little bit, and ordinary people who weigh a pound or two can only hold their noses and recognize it.

Who would go to court over a matter of tens of dollars? (End of chapter)
