Although the battle of Fengxiang Mansion did not go on in a tragic way, with the tacit understanding of both sides, the battle came to an end!
The Song Dynasty won. Although the result was not obvious and only a few important towns and cities on the Tubo border were defeated, both the soldiers of the Song Dynasty and the emperor of the Song Dynasty would definitely be extremely satisfied!
The Jin Kingdom was defeated, but its elite troops were not lost, and their efforts were generous to others. This was a completely acceptable outcome for both the Jin Kingdom's troops and Wan Yanyong!
One of the reasons why such a result can occur is because the two marshals Shen Tang and Tu Dankening restrained themselves from developing this war to the point of no return! They all knew that once this war was lost, Control, whether it is the Song Dynasty that has just begun to improve or the Jin Kingdom with strong military strength, is definitely an unbearable result.
This is why, even though the two sides started fighting several times, and the casualties of soldiers and horses were not small, the core of the two sides was not seriously damaged!
Mutual restraint has produced satisfactory results, and the goals of both parties have basically been achieved. As a result, there is naturally no reason for this war to continue!
In fact, even if the surprise attack on Ziwu Valley failed, or Shen Tang did not think of the trick of hiding the truth and Tu Dankening's surprise attack plan succeeded, the result would not be much different! Tu Dankening would naturally be able to do it to a certain extent Go up and weaken the Song army as much as possible, but it will definitely be within Shen Tang's ability to withstand it, and Shen Tang's direct followers will not suffer much damage.
Just like in the first part of Xin Qiji, Tu Dankening ordered his men to go around in a big circle and directly attack Xin Qiji's rear, and there were also garrison troops from the original Shuimen area to attack from both sides. In this case, Xin Qiji could still be injured and carry more than half of his body with him. The remnant soldiers successfully retreated to the Lianyundao area. Are these Jin soldiers and horses really so incompetent?
At that time, the Jin's surprise attack was a complete surprise to Xin Qiji, and the counterattack of the Shuimen defenders was also a surprise. However, the Jin Kingdom's soldiers and horses were not far behind Xin Qiji's men in terms of quantity or quality. In fact, The quantity is even greater than that of Xin Qiji.
In such a sudden and completely dominant situation, if the Jin people paid a certain price to cling to Xin Qiji's first group, let alone the soldiers and horses of Xin Qiji's first group, even if Xin Qiji died directly on this battlefield, it would not be a big deal. Accident.
However, Tu Dankening knew one thing very well. If something happened to Xin Qiji, it would mean that all the previous agreements between him and Shen Tang would be void. He couldn't believe what the furious Shen Tang would do. Imagine.
He couldn't say he was afraid, but he knew very well that Shen Tang had the strength and means to die with tens of thousands of elites like him.
Therefore, Xin Qiji was defeated, but it was just a defeat!
Including Shen Tang, although he was equally shocked and anxious when he heard that Xin Qiji was defeated, he was not too worried.
Because he believes that Tu Dankening has the same idea as him!
The Kingdom of Jin admitted defeat, and nothing went wrong in the next few days. The soldiers and horses of the Kingdom of Jin have once again retreated to the vicinity of Fengxiang Prefecture. In fact, soldiers and horses from other places who came to assist began to gradually return! Tu Dan Kening repaired his troops After the victory of the army, he will next start to rebuild his Western Route Army.
From the beginning to the end of this war, even if there was a tacit understanding between the two sides, nearly half of the Western Route Army was still damaged! Fortunately, the elite troops and main generals under his command did not suffer too much damage, so although it was a bit of a headache, it was not a big deal. It’s hard to do!
As for Shen Tang and others, they successfully led the army back to Dashan Pass!
Including the exchange of prisoners between the two sides, naturally there is no need for Shen Tang and Tu Dankening to worry about it. With the agreement and tacit understanding between the two of them, and the troops, horses and generals of both sides are in the hands of the two, the follow-up Of course things will go well.
After the war in Fengxiang Mansion ended, Shen Tang did not stay in Fengxiang Mansion for too long. After all, apart from here, the war in Xiangyang Mansion was still going on, and Shen Tang, as the commander-in-chief of this war, naturally had to lead his troops there!
Of course Zhang Jun will take care of the rest!
In Dashan Pass, in front of Wu Lin’s tomb! Shen Tang led all the major generals who went north to stand here!
"Generals, give a toast to Commander Wu Lin, and express condolences to Commander Wu and the spirits of all the brothers who died in battle!"
Hall Shen gave a long shout, and everyone saluted!
Shen Tang walked to Wu Lin's tomb and bowed in salute, "Commander Wu Lin, our Song Dynasty has won a complete victory in this battle! Although we cannot get back our lost homeland for the time being, one day we will send troops north again , take back everything we have lost!”
After finishing speaking, Shen Tang retreated and then got on his horse, "Farewell to Commander Wu Lin!"
Now that the war is over, it is naturally impossible for all the soldiers and horses to gather here. Except for some of the local soldiers and horses in Lizhou who will still be stationed at Dashan Pass, the rest will return to their original garrison locations! The rest of the Chengdu soldiers and horses will Some of the horses will return to Chengdu Prefecture, and the other part will follow Shen Tang to Xiangyang City!
Although Shen Tang knew very well that the battle in Xiangyang City was actually just to wait for him to go, he still had to put on the right posture.
This is the case with some things, you can do them, but you can’t say them!
After everyone bid farewell to Wu Lin, they followed Shen Tang and rode eastward! After only five miles, they saw an army all over the mountains and plains waiting for them, and the leader was none other than Zhang Jun!
When they got closer, everyone in Shen Hall dismounted again and saluted Zhang Jun!
"Commander, all the troops and horses are ready and ready to go at any time!"
Bi Zaiyu shouted excitedly!
He has obtained Shao Hongyuan's consent and will continue to follow Shen Tang to Xiangyang City. He is naturally happy for this! After all, following Shen Tang will not only gain credit, but also allow him to learn Shen Tang’s military strategies! Even if they only have some superficial knowledge, it is enough to make him happy and reluctant to miss Shu.
"Prime Minister Zhang, I will ask you to take charge of the follow-up matters here!"
Zhang Jun smiled and nodded, "What?
Don’t you believe me yet?
You can go there with confidence, you will have no worries here!"
Shen Tang hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "Prime Minister Zhang, I want to make a recommendation to the imperial court. It's up to you..."
"Shen Tang!"
Before Shen Tang could finish speaking, Zhang Jun interrupted him directly, "Since I have already resigned from Your Majesty, I have already made up my mind! Furthermore, you want to leave this mess of Tang Qing to me. ?
I have already set up a shop in your Chengdu mansion, are you thinking of rushing back to your hometown in Tanzhou for me?"
"I tell you, although my dog is in Tanzhou, I will still be buried in Chengdu even if I die!"
