On the Mongolian side, Ogedai first retreated to Luoyang and then to Xi'an.

After learning that Zhao Tai had returned to Shandong with his troops, Wokuotai immediately led the Mongolian cavalry and returned to the grassland to rest.

After returning to the grassland, Wokuotai summoned many ministers to summarize and analyze Mongolia's gains and losses in the Kaifeng war.

It doesn't matter if this is not a summary. As soon as he summarized it, Wo Kuotai immediately became furious. Wo Kuotai was surprised to find that he had been busy for more than half a year, lost tens of thousands of horses, spent tens of thousands of money and food, and made no profit at all in the end.

Before the war started, Mongolia wanted to seize the entire Kaifeng and control the entire Henan. After the battle, Kaifeng fell into the hands of the Song army, and the area controlled by Mongolia in the Central Plains basically remained unchanged.

From this point of view, it seems that Mongolia did not suffer a loss and was able to protect its capital. However, when the Mongolian army attacked Kaifeng, Zhao Tai captured Shandong.

Therefore, from a territorial perspective, after the war, Mongolia lost a large area of ​​territory.

In terms of troop losses, the Mongolian army stormed Kaifeng and lost tens of thousands of horses. Coupled with the losses in Shandong and Hebei, as well as Li Fen's betrayal, Mongolia lost nearly 100,000 horses.

Wokuotai calculated carefully and found that although he destroyed the Jin Kingdom, he made no profit at all. Instead, he suffered a considerable loss.

So who will gain in this war is naturally Zhao Tai who will control Shandong.

Although Zhao Tai did not save Kaifeng, he sent troops to relieve the siege of Kaifeng, and collected and buried them in Kaifeng City. The corpses of the Jin Kingdom's monarchs and ministers undoubtedly won the hearts and minds of the people of the Jin Kingdom's old city.

Now that the Jin Kingdom has been destroyed, the Jurchens in the Central Plains have become subjugated and have lost their allegiance. Zhao Tai, as the loyal king conferred by the Jin Kingdom, has become their choice.

Zhao Tai returned to Shandong from Henan. Jurchens and Khitan people joined his team from time to time along the way. In addition, Han officials who were originally loyal to the Jin Kingdom also came to seek refuge.

When Zhao Tai walked out of Henan and entered Shandong, he had already gathered four to five thousand remnant soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, and was accompanied by more than thirty ministers of the Jin Kingdom.

Shandong, Jinan.

Li Fen originally thought that Zhao Tai's rescue of Kaifeng was a disaster, but he didn't expect that Zhao Tai did not rescue alone, but instead dragged the Song army.

During these days, Li Fen had been paying attention to the movements of the coalition forces. When he learned that the coalition forces had forced away the Mongolian army and recaptured Kaifeng, he was shocked.

Li Fen expected Zhao Tai to hit a wall and used the help of the Mongols to attack Zhao Tai, forcing Zhao Tai to rely on himself.

But contrary to expectations, Zhao Tai not only did not suffer a blow, but his prestige became stronger, which made Li Fen regretful and did not lead his troops.

Although the coalition forces later suffered a setback in Luoyang, it was the Song army that suffered the loss.
