If there had not been any precedent before, Kublai Khan would have thought that the intelligence was wrong if Chahan and Wu Liang came together.

They were all confused. Is Li Yongxuan really a god?

Otherwise, how could he be so elusive and have unparalleled martial arts skills?

In order to confirm whether Li Yongxuan was in Weizhou, the Mongolian army took the initiative to launch an attack, and found that Li Yongxuan was indeed in Ji County, Weizhou.

When Kublai Khan and Wu Liang came together, Chahan and Zhang Rou were completely confused. Could it be that there are actually two Li Yongxuans in the world? Are they twin brothers?

It seems that only this explanation is reasonable.

The point is, if one is a headache for them, wouldn't two be more difficult to deal with?

After Li Yongxuan captured Chang'an, the news quickly spread to Henan, Lizhou, Jingnan Road and other places.

Countless Song people rushed to tell each other, with tears in their eyes, and celebrated wildly.

Li Yongxuan first led his army in the Northern Expedition to recover Bianliang and various parts of Henan. Now he led his army to recover Chang'an. After a while, it will be possible to restore the Central Plains and drive away the Mongolian Tatars.

Emperor Song and the corrupt officials who had been looted were not in such a good mood.

They wanted to tie up Li Yongxuan to prevent him from continuing to develop and causing a situation where he could not lose his position.

However, the imperial envoys were sent to Henan to look for Li Yongxuan to declare the decree, but they could not find him after several months of searching.

Obviously, Li Yongxuan deliberately avoided seeing him, and his ambition is evident.

Originally, the Song Emperor wanted to issue an edict to punish Li Yongxuan for his treason, but now Li Yongxuan led his army to regain Jingzhao Chang'an, which was a great achievement for the court.

If you still issue decrees and orders, won't you be called a coward by the people?

There was no other way. Not only did the Emperor of the Song Dynasty not dare to issue an order, but he also had to reward Li Yongxuan against his will and send someone to Chang'an to promulgate the decree.

When the situation in Jingzhao Mansion stabilized, Li Yongxuan asked Wang Jian to lead an army to garrison Chang'an.

After several months of reorganization and training by Guo Jing, Li Yongxuan's troops increased by 50,000 troops, bringing his total troops to 250,000.

Among them, there are 10,000 artillery troops, 5,000 cavalry, 100,000 musketeers, and other arms.

Since the grain harvest in Henan was bumper and all was tax-free, more and more people from the Song Dynasty poured into Henan, wanting a piece of the pie.

With more people, abundant labor, and sufficient military resources, Li Yongxuan was also happy to see the results.

In these years, the Mongolian army burned, killed and looted on a large scale. The fields in Henan were deserted and houses were empty. Most of the people who were lucky enough not to be killed fled to the south of the Yangtze River or went to the Mongols.

Precisely because there was no one to farm, Li Yongxuan distributed the land and made it tax-free for three years, hoping to restore vitality to this devastated place.

Henan is located in the North China Plain and has a lot of cultivated land. Accommodating hundreds of thousands more refugees is not a problem at all.

Li Yongxuan learned that the Emperor of Song Dynasty had issued a decree to commend him, so he wrote a memorial: stating that the recovery of the lost territory was all the work of the soldiers, and he had no credit; if he wanted to be rewarded, he should be rewarded to all the soldiers, not himself.

As the number of soldiers and horses under his command increased, he did not receive a penny in taxes, and the court did not provide material supplies, so financial expenditures were already difficult to support.

Since Emperor Song wanted to act, Li Yongxuan wanted a little salary and was a good person.

After receiving Li Yongxuan's advice, the Song Emperor was almost mad. He actually wanted him to provide him with food and grass supplies. This rebellious minister was too courageous: not only did he deliberately disobey the decree, but he also dared to blatantly raise conditions with the court.
