The Battle of Ezhou ended like this.

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

This is an unprecedented victory.

It was also the most brilliant victory in the Song and Meng War.

Although the Song army had only 6,000 beheaded, and a large part of it was done by Yang Feng, and another 10,000 were captured, the Song army's casualties were close to 20,000. In fact, the losses of both sides were almost the same. If you really wanted to be a genuine Mongolian soldier, it was probably only one-third. It is obvious that Jia Sidao was right not to continue pursuing. With the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides, continuing to pursue would definitely be a big defeat. This is the helplessness of the infantry against the cavalry. Victory can be obtained, but the results cannot be maximized. On the contrary, if the Song army loses, it will definitely be defeated thousands of miles.

Of course, this number of winning is a real number without moisture, as for reporting to Lin'an...

"Hundreds of thousands!"

Jia Sidao shouted excitedly.

"Now, the national teacher is invincible. The soldiers are brave enough to fight for the first place. They have captured 100,000 people and killed nearly 100 of their famous names. The Tartar Chief Kublai Khan is only for his own sake. This is a great achievement. I have reported to the official family. You are here to be named marquis!"

He continued shouting with his wine glass.

Then a group of generals raised their glasses to drink the celebration wine together. Yang Feng sat upright and smiled without saying a word. At this moment, an officer hurriedly ran in and lay down in Jia Sidao's ear and whispered a few words. The latter's face remained unchanged and signaled him to retreat. Then Jia Sidao looked at Yang Feng. Yang Daxian said calmly: "But the Tartars surrounded Tanzhou?"

"The national teacher made a brilliant plan, and it was indeed the Tartars who surrounded Tanzhou."

Jia Sidao said hurriedly.

Of course he didn't know that Yang Feng's hearing distance was no pressure.

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

Yang Feng said.

"The national army, there are still less than 60,000 Tartars in Jiangnan. Although the floating bridge is cut off, they are not alone. Zheng Ding's army has entered Jiangxi before. If the Tartars went south from Xingguo Army and joined forces with Wuliang, which surrounded Tanzhou, to Lin'an, it would probably disturb the sage. It should be noted that it is mainly cavalry, and it is difficult for us infantry to chase after it."

Jia Sidao said.

Obviously he is still very sober.

For the Southern Song Dynasty, what I fear most now is not the Mongolian army destroying the Song Dynasty, but the latter's destruction of Jiangnan. If the 60,000 Mongolian troops on the south bank continue to move east along the Yangtze River, then there will be no city along the way that can stop them, because there is no army that can be fought along the way. Before, Kublai Khan divided a partial army and led by Zheng Ding to easily enter Jiangxi. Then this huge group of 60,000 troops can easily break through any city, and there is no need to consider logistics for fighting. The downstream is the richest prefectures and counties in the Southern Song Dynasty at this time. Any big city can plunder enough materials. The biggest reliance of the Song army is that the Yangtze River can quickly mobilize troops, but what if the 60,000 Mongolian troops leave the Yangtze River and head south?

They would easily fight to Longxing Prefecture, which is Nanchang, and then Wulianghetai would immediately abandon Tanzhou and join them, and then head east along the Xinzhou Quzhou route to Lin'an.

Then Song Jun was stunned.

Because Jia Sidao's army could not pursue Mongolian cavalry outside the Yangtze River, even if he could arrive in Lin'an in advance to set up defenses and eventually eliminate the Mongolian army, Jiangnan was also destroyed. This road was the foundation of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty, which was already on the verge of collapse, completely collapsed. The people in Jiangnan who had not experienced war for more than 100 years and had no resistance at all would let the Mongolian cavalry kill the butcher knife.

"So what Shi Xian meant?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"National Master, I dare to fight, we should have a peace talk with Kublai Khan."

Jia Sidao said.

"We promise that the Mongolian army in Jiangnan will return to the north, and Kublai Khan will recall Wulianghetai, and we will stop the army. If Kublai Khan returns to the north, he will definitely fight for the throne. Mengge was killed by the national army, and the Mongolian kings are incompatible with each other. Civil war is inevitable. In this way, we can protect Jiangnan from being poisoned and sit idly by and watch the civil strife, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

He said with great clues.

After all, for him, or for the Southern Song court, the most important thing is not to let the war burn from the upper reaches to the lower reaches, otherwise even if the victory is successful, it will not be worth the loss.

"You are the commander, and everything will be decided by you!"

Yang Feng said calmly.

This is the best solution. If the combat effectiveness of the Song army can ensure that the 60,000 Mongolian troops can be swallowed in one fell swoop, then he would not mind killing it. However, the current combat effectiveness of the Song army cannot do this, so he can only choose the most reasonable one. Even if the Song army in Ezhou is loaded immediately and then transported it downstream as quickly as possible, it would be useless. Unless he personally takes the horse, the Song army will not be able to regain Shouchang Army and Xingguo Army before the main force of the Mongolian army on the south bank. In fact, it is difficult for him to take the horse personally, because at this time, it is estimated that the Mongolian army vanguard had already entered the Xingguo Army. This place is basically equivalent to Daye. The Mongolian army led by Zheng Ding went south to the hinterland of Jiangxi from here, and only a few dozen kilometers away, the Mongolian cavalry had already run over during this period.

His tacit approval solved Jia Sidao's last concern. Although in theory he didn't need to listen to Yang Feng, he didn't have the courage now.

As for how to contact Kublai Khan...

Of course he had his own channels. In fact, he probably had connections with Kublai Khan before the war. It was normal to test each other's bottom line during the war, so these had nothing to do with Yang Feng. He just wanted to enjoy the worship of the people in Ezhou. In addition, he asked Jia Sidao for 500 war horses, and Lv Wende was responsible for sending them to Chengdu to the bandit army. In this battle, Jia Sidao captured 5,000 war horses. This number was simply a night of wealth for the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty. You must know that in history, when Jia Sidao broke through to Huangzhou, in order to escort himself, he only collected 700 cavalry.

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

He also asked for some of the captured property for the bandits, and even Kublai Khan's base camp was copied by him, so this was naturally indispensable.

In short, the war had nothing to do with him. He lived for nearly a month under the pious service of the military and civilians of Ezhou. During this period, Jia Sidao quickly reached a peace talk with Kublai Khan. The two of them hit it off on this issue. Kublai Khan almost completely accepted the terms of peace talks. The Southern Song Dynasty sent envoys to recall Wulianghetai to return to the north together. The two sides restored the front border of the war. The Mongolian army withdrew to Henan and even returned to the original Song and Jin border. Kublai Khan sent envoys to Lin'an to apologize for invading Song for no reason. This is very important. In this way, Jia Sidao could block the words of the ministers in the court, and the two countries lived peacefully together and did not invade each other.

In fact, Jia Sidao insisted that the Song-Jin border should be restored in Sichuan and Hanzhong. Kublai Khan made excuses on the grounds that he was not the Mongol Khan and could not care about Sichuan. However, he promised that after becoming a Khan, he would return the land south of the Qinling Mountains that he occupied after he became a Khan.

Of course, this is just a saying.

In short, the war between the Southern Song and Mongolia, which lasted for seven years, came to an end. When will the war start again in the future depends on the situation. At least the peace has been restored to the east, and the eastern front has completely restored the borders of the Song and Jin confrontation. The entire Huaixi and East Hubei occupied by Kublai Khan were all returned, including the land occupied by Wulianghetai from Annan and north. The latter led the Mongolian cavalry to the north and one month later, and the accompanying servants retreated from the same route and retreated to Dali. Kublai Khan, who was eager to return to compete for the throne, completed the withdrawal with decisiveness. There was no conflict between the two sides afterwards, and even reached an agreement to trade with each other.

It is obvious that Kublai Khan was also afraid that after he went to war with Alibuge, the Song army would suddenly stab him in the back, especially to Yang Daxian, who caused serious psychological and physiological damage to him. He also sent an envoy to apologize with a generous gift, and then Yang Feng left his gift to drive away his envoy.

Of course, just leave the gift.

A month later, Yang Daxian waited for the envoy sent by Emperor Zhao Yun of the Song Dynasty in Ezhou. However, this time the envoy was not a eunuch, and the envoy who named Yang Feng the national teacher had arrived long ago. This time, he was the envoy who welcomed the national teacher to Lin'an. Zhao Yun sent his adopted son, and King Zhong Zhao Yu, who represented him to welcome the national teacher. Zhao Yun's only son died very early. Zhao Yu was actually the heir to the throne, but he had not been officially enthroned as the crown prince. Originally, he was quickly enthroned in history, which was the legendary retarded Song Duzong. However, in Yang Feng's opinion, he was not mentally retarded, but he looked more like Liu Chan.

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

Zhao Yun is actually equivalent to a civilian family. He is a remote branch of the royal family. Not to mention wealth and wealth, he even has no official position, and his life is very difficult. He even has to live with his brother. His brother is just a security chief. He came to power just because the power prime minister Shi Miyuan needed a puppet. As for Zhao Yu, the son of Zhao Yun's younger brother, but he was born by a concubine. Before his birth, his mother was forced to be aborted by his eldest wife. However, it is estimated that the medicine is insufficient or he bought fake medicine. He was born tenaciously, but his body was very weak and his intellectual development was slow. However, he still became the emperor with the support of Jia Sidao and others.

In fact, at this time, the Southern Song Dynasty was a bit like the British nobles who would rather want foreigners to be kings than their own goods. Princes and ministers would rather be far away from the royal family almost to the horizon, to have intellectually malnourished or even children of a few years old. In short, they were very special, and they would not be a normal emperor.

To put it bluntly.

Good control.

If the Southern Song Dynasty did not perish, the country would sooner or later be tortured by the gentry to the point of similarity to Britain, undermining the power of the monarch, and then the entire country would be determined by the gentry. Their purpose was this. The final form might be different, but there would not be much difference in essence. It was just that it did not resist the iron hoof of the Mongolian army, causing China to retreat back to the era of nearly slavery.

Just like in the late Ming Dynasty, savage interrupted the progress of civilization.
