The war is coming to an end at noon.

Chen Zixiao led his troops to Juling Town yesterday, but he didn't even set up a tent. He just took a simple rest on the spot and attacked Juling Town at dawn.

After the Chushan Army captured Juling Town, in addition to clearing out the remaining enemies who were fighting stubbornly in the town, taking over the camps in Juling Town, saving and counting materials, and participating in the encirclement and suppression of the remnants of fleeing north, the war was approaching, and teams of captured soldiers were also escorted to Juling Town for custody.

Zheng Cong was extremely unhappy about this scene.

He did not expect that the enemy, who was stubbornly supported Juling Town for more than half a month, was easily defeated by the Chushan Army, and the enemy army that had not suffered any casualties and suffered 6,000 generals and soldiers.

If Juling Town uses the first level to calculate the merits in the battle, not only will the greatest piece of military achievements fall into the bag of the Chushan Army, but even the seized materials and prisoners of war are currently under the control of the Chushan Army.

Zheng Cong was not jealous of other captures, and the most important thing was the good horse and the prisoners of war.

There are only two or three thousand war horses on the left and right Shenwu Army. Zheng Cong is currently in a battle in Juling Town, and about three thousand good horses have been gathered, and they are temporarily rushed into the horse farm set up by the enemy in Juling Town.

In addition, most of the seven or eight thousand enemy soldiers captured were elite soldiers who survived many years of bloody battles. Compared with the young and strong men who were forced to recruit from Tiantou Village, they were a better source of troops.

Although the Zuo Shenwu Army, as one of the main forces in the attack on Juling Town, would not even be able to drink any soup in the end, Zheng Cong could understand that after the first round of selection by Chushan Army, there might be only a little soup left for them to drink.

Zhao Fan, who rushed to Juling Town to watch the battle during this period, saw that Zheng Cong was always dark, and he had no way to persuade him.

What he was most troubled at the moment was not how many military achievements he had fought for, or how many powerful weapons he had fought for. More importantly, whether Emperor Jianji's dissatisfaction with the Zheng family had eased, and more importantly, whether Xu Huai would remember his previous resentment and use this great merit to hurt the Zheng family.

In the afternoon, Xu Wuji stayed in the governor of Linying, and Xu Huai accompanied Hu Kai to Juling Town.

Deng Gui and Zhang Xin also rushed to Juling Town to meet Hu Kai, Xu Huai and Yang Lin, surrounded by personal guards.

The battle of Juling Town has ended completely, and the entire Ruying Battle can be said to be coming to an end.

The weather is almost time for dripping water to turn ice. According to previous years, it may take less than ten days for the Yingshui River to freeze, and there is no time to attack Linying City.

What they have to consider next is that all the troops retreated to the south and stationed along the coast of the Hanshui River to protect the Heluo people from moving to Nanyang and other places, but the problem will not be too big.

The enemy lost 50,000 or 60,000 troops in this battle, and it seemed that they were mainly surrendering to the subordinates. Chihu and the subordinates of the foreign tribes did not suffer any damage. They were even in Xuchang and Wanqiu gathered more than 30,000 elite cavalry, but at least in a short period of time they would no longer have the ability to organize battles between Ruying.

Xu Huai accompanied Hu Kai to stay in Juling Town for two days. When Emperor Jianji's imperial edict came, Yang Lin, Zheng Cong and others led their troops to retreat to the Mahuang River mouth southeast of Xiangcheng. After they were stationed there, the left and right Xuanwu army, in addition to the cavalry troops staying in Juling, Linying accepted Xu Huai's control, would also escort some of the main forces of the Chushan Army to evacuate prisoners of war to Zhaoling and other places.

Starting from the invasion of Bianliang in August, as of the battle of Juling Town, Dayue mobilized 80,000 to 90,000 troops, and killed less than 20,000 casualties. He captured nearly 70,000 enemy troops. Xiao Gan and Yin Chao's two surrendered troops were almost completely destroyed. Yang Jingchen and Yue Hailou were also severely damaged.

It can be said to be the most glorious victory after the fall of Bianliang.

This battle not only made the defense line on Huaihang turn into danger, but also greatly encouraged the morale of the military and civilians of Jianghuai.

At least at this moment, even Zhou He and Gao Chunnian and other sects of the past had to admit that resisting the barbarians was not without hope of success.

At the end of November, Xu Huaixian led his troops to retreat to Xiangcheng, completely ending the first Battle of Ruying.

After arriving in Xiangcheng, he handed over the troops to Xu Wuji to command. He himself took the guards' camp and rushed to Wuyang to meet Emperor Jianji who had been in Wuyang's supervision and had not left.

Although it had entered the season when water turned into ice and the Ying River had frozen, the enemy troops did not cross Ying and march southward. It was Mu Chi. After the siege of Linying, Yue Hailou led the remaining troops to return north in disgrace and cross the Ying River and headed towards Wanqiu.

Influenced by the Battle of Ruying, the enemy troops did not launch a major new offensive in Heluo, Huainan, Shaanxi and other places this winter.

The soldiers and horses in various places of Dayue ushered in the first relatively calm winter after the fall of Bianliang.

It was cold and the heart was not cold. Snowflakes fell from the hazy sky and turned into ice water on their faces. Xu Huai walked slowly under the cavalry of the guards and cavalry, and he was rarely at ease and enjoyed the snow scene along the way.

When he passed the Lishui River, Xu Huaicai learned that Emperor Jianji wanted to lead all civil and military officials in Wuyang out of the city to welcome him back triumphantly.

He knew that this ceremony was too heavy and did not dare to delay the journey any longer. He immediately took more than a hundred guards to take horses and headed out first, hoping to arrive in Wuyang before Emperor Jianji left the city to avoid the ceremony of Emperor Jianji leaving the city to welcome him.

However, Xu Huai rushed to Wuyang City, and Emperor Jianji had already led all civil and military officials to wait for him under the city.

Hu Kai and others also returned to Wuyang.

It is confirmed that the enemy soldiers will not cross the Ying River again this winter, and the Xuanwu army on both sides will not only leave two wings to guard the Huoshui River, but also temporarily accept the control of the Chushan camp, but also the other troops will follow Jian Jidi to return to the south.

Zhang Xin, Deng Gui, Yang Lin and other generals rushed to Wuyang before Xu Huai. At this time, they stood beside Emperor Jianji with Zhou He, Gao Chunnian, Xu Wei, Wen Hengyue and other ministers.

On the cordon line separated by the guards, the local people in Wuyang were even more excited to watch Xu Huai return with triumphant success.

After dismounting, Xu Huai quickly packed his luggage and trotted forward to perform a big bow:

"My memory Xu Huai does not humiliate the sacred order, so I came to Wuyang to return the order to Your Majesty!"

“Get up quickly,”

Emperor Jian Jidi came forward in person, supported Xu Huai, grabbed his arm, and said with a smile,

"Zhou Xiang, Xu Xiang and the others urge me to return to Xiangyang as soon as possible. I think you, the king and the ministers have a rare opportunity to meet each other. How can you leave if you don't get together this time if you drink a few drinks? I originally thought of calling you back first, but the military affairs were not careless, so I waited for you in Wuyang for two more days! This battle was so good that I had lost my heart and morale for a long time. Zhou Xiang and Gao Xiang and the others were very convinced."

Emperor Jianji looked at Zhou He, Gao Chunnian and others and asked, "Zhou Xiang, Gao Xiang, do you say that there are good ministers and generals like Xu Huai in Dayue, why worry about the end of the destruction of the barbarians? Why worry about the remnant of the Central Plains?"

"Marquis Xu is indeed a famous general. Your Majesty is the blessing of Da Yue and the blessing of the people!" Zhou He and Gao Chunnian had to hype a few words awkwardly, so as not to be unable to get out of the stage.

"Everything is the result of Your Majesty's plan, and Xu Huai is just a work of doing things for everyone!" Xu Huai said humbly.

"In addition to commanding troops and fighting, you have also made great progress in bragging and playing horses," Jian Ji smiled

He said, "Before I learned about the flooding plan of Chushan, I can worry all day in Xiangyang, how can I get through this winter? How can I plan to plan?"

"The commander of troops is the responsibility of the general, but this is far from the root of defeating the enemy," said Xu Huai. "Your Majesty is in Xiangyang, and everyone in the world is obedient. The transfer of food, fodder and soldiers is a real strategy. Even without Xu Huai's small plan, the barbarians will be unable to cross the line. How dare Xu Huai steal your majesty's great achievements and regard himself as accused himself of this great victory without His Majesty's decisive leadership of the left and right Xuanwu Army, Zuo Xiaosheng Army, and Zuo Shenwu Army came to help each other in time, which was finally absent. Xu Huai was at most fleeing back to Mount Chu in a panic..."

"Okay, okay, let's not praise each other," Jian Jidi laughed, "I'll listen to you carefully, how did you come up with this method - the people of Chihu are rampant in Mobei, and the generals have fought for half their lives. I heard from Zhou Xiang, Xu Xiang and the others that Yue Hailou is also very cunning, but they didn't expect to suffer this disaster at all!"

"I must know everything!"

Xu Huai accompanied Emperor Jianji and everyone to walk slowly into Wuyang City, and explained in detail the causes and consequences of Zhaoling building a dam and attacking Bianliang.

Xu Huai was stubborn and said that he saw the local chronicles that the Marine Water had invaded the Ying River in Zhaoling, so he ordered Yu Chengzhen and other masters who were proficient in geomancers to mobilize a large number of apprentices to carefully survey the terrain north of Xiaoquegang. Before August, Chushan had confirmed that the Marine Water was intercepted and discharged, it would flow into Shangshui County in the low-sinking area north of Miaowanggou. His original intention of leading his troops to attack Bianliang was just to lead Yuehailou troops away from the north bank of the Marine Water to ensure that the Shiqu canal can be smoothly dug through this winter, so that the Marine Water and other waters would be completely returned to the Ying River in the next year, forcing the enemy to threaten the Huai River from the north bank of the Ying River.

With the help of floods in Ruying in summer, this is also the reliance for Chu Mountain to dare to defend the Huai River alone.

Apart from Xiaoquegang intercepting and selecting the site, Xu Huai did not hide anything. The books in this world were difficult to preserve, and others would not doubt anything because they could not find relevant local chronicles.

And this time, Xu Huai said that he was the result of Emperor Jianji's plan and strategy, which is not a praising.

Xu Huai had long known that the news that he led his troops to attack Bianliang reached Xiangyang. Zhou He, Gao Chunnian and others not only did not say anything good to him, but from the beginning he advocated that he would give up his risky behavior and return to Chushan to avoid any mistakes in the defense line on the Huai River. It was Emperor Jianji who ignored the proposals of Zhou He, Gao Chunnian and others.

Seeing that Yuehailou was not attracted, he also continued to gather troops to the south bank of Yingshui. Emperor Jianji issued an emergency order to mobilize tens of thousands of troops from Jingbei and Nanyang to strengthen defense in Wuyang, Huangchuan and other places, and to transfer millions of stones of grain to support Chushan.

Now, due to the additional expropriation and donation of Jinghu, Jianghuai, has caused unstable local areas, and it is indeed a way to support the army and protect the war, which is too much consumption.

If there hadn't been a new transfer of millions of stones of grain and fodder in Xiangyang, Chushan might have been able to ensure that the stone canal was dug in time and smoothly, but this winter would have been extremely embarrassing. Maybe people would starve to death and freeze to death - after all, all strategies and large-scale military operations are inseparable from the support of huge amounts of grain and fodder.

After Emperor Jianji decided to command the imperial army in person, Xiangyang squeezed out two or three million stones of grain to go north.

Of course, Emperor Jianji's extremely decisive commander led the left and right Xuanwei troops northward and transferred Zuo Xiaosheng's army into Ruying, which were important factors in ensuring the great victory of Ruying.
