Chapter 1435 Definition of Justice

The Great Song Dynasty's attack on the Western Regions was really like thunder. The Western Regions coalition and even the Liao army collapsed under the attack of the Great Song Dynasty. The people of the Western Regions were very miserable and suffered huge losses. This was a fatal blow to the countries in the Western Regions, which had not had much military strength.

Only the first Gaochang soldiers of the 60,000 coalition forces escaped 5,000. These 5,000 soldiers were lucky. The border troops of the Song Dynasty did not send cavalry to pursue them, so they ran the most, while the remaining Kucha and Yan Mao's army were not so lucky. They were chased by the cavalry of the border troops.

Cao Kang was really furious. The five thousand Gaochang soldiers who escaped were his defeat in this battle. The escape of more than five thousand people made his seamless trap a joke. When facing Zhao Zhen, he almost crawled into the cracks in shame.

Of course, Zhao Zhen did not have a single word of punishment. He knew that Cao Kang was a man who knew shame and then bravely, and he would not make such a mistake again. Sure enough, his gains were amazing. The remaining 40,000 armies in the Western Regions were basically dead and surrendered. In total, no thousand people had escaped. Even if there were, they were chased and killed by the cavalry of the border army.

When dealing with Zhao Zhen, a native of the Western Region, he felt that there was nothing to be lenient. His ancestor's words "If you are not my race, your heart will be different" were set early. The source of this sentence is very interesting. "Zuo Zhuan Zhengyi of the Spring and Autumn Period".

Chinese historical books have defined this sentence as a matter of justice. Is massacre of foreign races considered cruel? It doesn’t count, because it is justice...

Even though Zhao Zhen felt it was very unrestrained, he could use this sentence to gain a foothold, and give himself the greatest psychological comfort and eliminate the guilt in his heart.

Sometimes people have to learn to comfort themselves...especially when they have done something that violates their moral standards and have to do it, comforting themselves is important.

Things always develop, sometimes to the better and sometimes to the worse, but it is impossible to remain unchanged. Over the years, Zhao Zhen has changed a lot on the imperial throne of the Song Dynasty. With the continuous expansion, he even gave up some of the things he had held.

Cao Kang's record was quite good and he also made a lot of military achievements for the border troops of the Western Regions Protectorate. Although they could not make them rich overnight, they could receive quite good rewards from the court with these military achievements.

The atmosphere in the army was also quite good. The joy after the war was accompanied by the death of the cha Ze and was not so pleasant. It only diluted some sad atmosphere. The dead soldiers were cremated by a special person and put them in an urn to bring them back to the Song Dynasty in the future.

Ling'er brought medical officers to treat the wounded soldiers in the army. She had seen too many life and death and wounds, and was a little numb, but she still had a kind heart. This was her biggest gain. Of course, there were rumors circulating in the army that she was a "living Bodhisattva". As long as the soldiers she had seen, they would generally be cured quickly...

This siege and annihilation battle was pretty good, and it caused great damage to the military power of the Western Regions, which basically shook the foundation of this land. Although the 60,000 people were not all the troops in the Western Regions, they destroyed his confidence.

This is also one of the effects Zhao Zhen expected. As for the Liao people... it is very terrible!

To be precise, Xiao Manhui was very thief. Seeing that the momentum was not good, she actually escaped at the fastest speed before the Shenwei and Pangri formed a siege. Of course, the price they paid was the casualties of three thousand cavalrymen.

It has to be said that using three thousand elite Liao dynasties to exchange for 40,000 cavalry to leave safely is a good deal.

"The dog is desperate, the dog is desperate!" Zhao Zhen looked at Li Jiu and Wang Gui in front of him and muttered. It is hard to imagine that Xiao Manhui actually took out his confidant army to block the knife before the Liao army collapsed.

Sometimes you can win by trying your best to win, especially on the battlefield where cold weapons are connected, you need more courage and blessings. But sometimes, there is another thing that can be reversed and occupied, that is fearless madness.

Xiao Manhui's personal soldiers are such people. They are not only personal soldiers, but also a powerful guarantee for the Xiao family. The number is not large, about 3,000, but these 3,000 people are fearless dead soldiers. On the battlefield, they dare to face the forest-like cavalry of the Song Dynasty, dare to rush to the Song Dynasty army formation, and even pull the enemy cavalry to dismount by dying together.

Once it is caught in the charge, there is basically no difference between it and death.

That is, these three thousand people stabilized the Liao people after the Song army rushed to the battlefield and delayed the time for Xiao Manhui to take them away. However, for Xiao Manhui, the price he paid this time was almost unbearable.

The Great Liao Dynasty lost 10,000 people but did not take down Baozhuang City. He did not see the King of Wei in the Song Dynasty. Instead, he was ambushed by the Song people and had to sacrifice 30,000 elite dead cavalry. These people were all elites of the Xiao family. The dead soldiers who had been worshipped for many years are now lost in their hands. How can I explain to the Empress Dowager and Xiao Hui?

As for those Western Regions, their failures were completely self-inflicted. The Liao Dynasty became their cover, attracting the attention of the Japanese army and the Divine Guards, and instead gave the Western Regions the opportunity to slip away from the side.

Until now, Xiao Manhui still believed that the people of the Western Regions had escaped. He decided to go to Gaochang City and wait for the arrival of the Empress Dowager's reinforcements to fight again. However, when he arrived at Gaochang City, he found that Empress Dowager Xiao had already led a large army to arrive. As for the 60,000 Western Regions coalition forces... they did not appear.

Empress Dowager Xiao scolded him for abandoning his allies on the spot, and also expressed his disappointment to Gaochang Lord Qu Chigan. Not only Gaochang Kingdom, but the entire Western Regions, both big and small, appeared in Gaochang City.

Especially the arrival of Empress Dowager Xiao made Gaochang City and the Western Regions full of confidence again.

The Empress Dowager, who was in power in the Liao Dynasty, also led the expedition in person, in order to help the Western Regions resist the invasion of the Song Dynasty. Although everyone knows that the current situation is that the Liao people cannot leave the Western Regions, this does not hinder the relationship between the two sides.

The people of the Western Regions saw hope, and with the help of the Liao people, coupled with the people of the Western Regions who were fighting locally, they felt that they would definitely win.

Xiao Tali certainly wanted to encourage his current allies. Although the Western Regions allowed her to see what stupidity was, she still had to maintain a friendly attitude and the majesty of the Liao Dynasty.

The summary of this war is terrible. The Liao Dynasty lost 10,000 cavalrymen, while the Western Regions Alliance was only 6,000. You should know that the Western Regions Alliance and the Liao army went to Baozhuang City as the vassal army!

They went to ambush the Divine Guards of the Song Dynasty, but in the end they were ambushed by the Song people. They couldn't help but miss the battle between Baozhuang City and Liushicheng, and even lost tens of thousands of people. This had a devastating impact on the Western Regions.

Xiao Tali sat on the throne that originally belonged to Qu Chigan in the hall, scanning everyone in the hall, taking a deep breath, he was interrupted by the noise outside the door as soon as he was about to speak. This feeling was very bad, and made her feel angry, but now she couldn't do this.

"Who is making noise?!"
