- On September 27, at dusk, the decisive battle ended.
Although Mohe Dushe Ashina Dubi was still leading his army to defend the evacuation channel, the imperial army only wanted to attack this group of northern captives. The rest either fled or lay dead in the wilderness, while the war horses, cattle and sheep When all kinds of trophies were piled up on the battlefield, the exhausted but high-morale Imperial soldiers knew of course that the decisive battle was over. They had won the final victory. The next step was to divide the trophies and return in triumph.
That night, the emperor issued an edict. Considering that the Yan and Zhao rebels were attacking Taiyuan and Yanmen, and the situation in the rear was critical, he encouraged the soldiers of Tokyo, Xijing, Hedong and Taiyuan to make persistent efforts, seize the remaining power of the defeated Bei rebels, and go south to kill the rebels. Ensure the stability of Shanxi.
The emperor also ordered Wang Rengong, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army and the prefect of Mayi, and Wang Zhibian, the general of Wu Benlang, to lead the soldiers of the Northern Army to pursue the victory and kill the enemy in the north. Taking advantage of the great opportunity of the Northern Lu's overwhelming defeat, they quickly regained the front line of the Great Wall. Eliminate the remaining enemies at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, rebuild the northern Xinjiang garrison line, and ensure the security of northern Xinjiang.
The emperor¡¯s third edict was to the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, telling them that the decisive battle was over. He thanked the soldiers of the Northeast for holding the White Wolf Fortress and successfully completing the decisive battle between the north and the south. The soldiers of the Northeast Road, especially the Liaodong and Liaoxi legions, had a long way to go back. Considering the season, climate and other reasons, the emperor ordered them to take a short rest and then immediately left Daibei and returned to their respective garrison areas day and night.
On the night of September 27th, the imperial army defeated the last line of defense of the northern barbarians. Mohe Dushe Ashina Du Bisi led the remaining army to flee in panic.
The decisive battle was won. This was a brilliant victory. It was the greatest victory the empire had ever achieved in a foreign war since the unification of China and Turkey. It had a major impact on the situation between the north and the south and the historical course of the next few decades. The situation in Turkey and the intensifying imperial crisis also had an incalculable impact.
Early morning of September 28th. The emperor issued the fourth edict.
This is a commendation order. The emperor has fulfilled the promise he made to the imperial soldiers on the battlefield of Yanmen and the decisive battle of Bailangsai. All soldiers who survived the war were awarded casual officer positions based on the time, number of times they participated in the war, and their military exploits.
??For all brigade commanders and junior officers and soldiers below the brigade commander, the lowest casual officer position is Lixin Lieutenant of the ninth rank, and the highest rank is Fenwu Lieutenant of the sixth rank.
???????????? For all officers of the rank of captain and above, based on the time and number of wars they have participated in, as well as the level of their military exploits, their casual officer positions range from the fifth-rank Chaosan doctor to the highest second-rank Zuo Guanglu doctor.
All soldiers who died in battle will receive generous pensions. Yin Ze and his descendants.
All civilians who participated in the decisive battle between the North and the South were exempted from taxes and corvee for three years, and those who were disabled received double rewards. All civilians killed in the decisive battle will receive generous pensions. and benefit future generations.
According to the emperor¡¯s edict, as long as you participate in this decisive battle between the north and the south. Ordinary soldiers can at least obtain the rank of casual official from the ninth rank. As for those who are officials, their rank can be upgraded at least one level. This is a real benefit. Although casual officials have official titles but no duties, they are used to indicate the official's rank, and the rank determines your status, identity and treatment in the officialdom, and determines your A lifetime of achievement. In comparison. As a civil servant, that is, a bureaucrat who is responsible for specific things, you can enjoy the power and wealth it brings when you are in office, but once you are no longer in office. That means nothing.
The emperor's reward won the cheers of all the soldiers and civilians who participated in the war. His authority reached an unprecedented peak after the decisive battle between the north and the south.
In the early morning of September 28, Jialan received the emperor¡¯s secret edict at Bailang Pass.
In the edict, the emperor could not conceal his joy after the victory, and praised Jialan greatly. At the same time, he also implicitly expressed his gratitude to Jialan for shouldering the responsibility of failing to annihilate all the northern captives.
He must thank Jialan. In the final stage of the decisive battle, if the fight continues, both sides will suffer losses and both will be destroyed. This result will definitely bring a catastrophic blow to the situation between the north and the south. However, for the dignity of the empire, for himself and the authority of the central government, the emperor In order to cater to the imperial army and people's desire to kill the captives for revenge, he could not negotiate a peace, let alone let the northern captives go. In this unfavorable situation, Jialan's "negligence" gave the northern prisoners a way to escape. At the same time, he saved the emperor, the imperial army, the situation between the north and the south, and successfully completed the national defense and diplomacy plans formulated by the emperor and the central government. Grand strategy.
However, Jialan's "negligence", whether in military or political terms, will give his opponents an excuse to attack, and the emperor and the central government cannot use this as an excuse to punish Jialan or hurt the hearts of the empire's soldiers, so this It will definitely bring some trouble to the emperor and the central government. Fortunately, Jialan understood the righteousness well and had high political wisdom, so he resolutely shouldered the responsibility alone.
Since you have taken responsibility, you must be punished. Although Jialan is the first contributor to winning this decisive battle between the north and the south, the emperor and the central government mustRewards and punishments were clearly defined in order to maintain the authority of the central government. Therefore, Jialan could only offset his merits and demerits and had no choice but to leave Northern Xinjiang.
The emperor gave Jialan three choices in the edict: the first choice was to leave the army and serve in the central government agency, temporarily hiding his talents until the time was right, and then serve as commander-in-chief in the Wei Palace; the second option was to stay in the army and serve in a certain guard in Gyeonggi Province. He served as General Hu Benlang in the mansion and stayed dormant for a while. When the time was right, he took up the post of commander-in-chief again and led the army to put down the rebellion. The third one also stayed in the army, but since he could not stay in the northern Xinjiang, he went to the Western Xinjiang and returned to the Western Territory. Garrison.
The three choices the emperor gave Jialan had profound meanings, and were far from simple as seen in the imperial edict.
After reading this secret edict, Xue Shixiong and Yang Gongren also looked at each other speechless.
The trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. A young general like Jialan, who is arrogant, domineering, lawless, and extremely talented, will surely attract the attention of the public after becoming famous in the decisive battle between the north and the south. At the same time, he will also be criticized by the court. All the forces were afraid, but the emperor was particularly uneasy. It's not that the emperor didn't trust him, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to command this sharp knife like an arm. The knife could hurt people as well as himself, especially an unruly and murderous knife like Jialan. Once out of control, the consequences would be disastrous. .
The emperor's next big plan is to deepen reforms and accelerate the pace of centralization. To do this, he needs to further contain and crack down on the conservatives in the court. However, blind containment and crackdowns will inevitably intensify the contradiction between the two sides and lead to greater and more serious conflicts. Intense conflicts, therefore, the emperor still needs to find ways to compromise and tolerate in order to ease conflicts and ease conflicts. Ensure political stability. If we want to ensure the advancement of reform, we must have a stable political situation.
Galan is the emperor's sword, a sharp weapon used by the emperor to overwhelm his opponents with force. However, it is too dangerous to hold in the hand. It may cause excessive killing and may also hurt oneself, so it must be hidden deep in the knife case so that it can truly act as a deterrent. .
"It cannot be said that the emperor is trying to kill the donkey, let alone that the emperor is a cunning rabbit and a running dog. This is a necessary political method. Blameless.
??
Jialan is very calm. A decision appears to have been made.
Yang Gongren asked, "Jialan. How do you choose?"
"Go back to the West. Go back to someone's home."
Jialan's tone was very firm, and there was a vague sense of relief from a nightmare, "I once made an agreement with Ashina Nishu to meet again in ten years, but fate is unpredictable, and it took less than four years for me to return to Middle-earth. So I left. On the way home. Thank you to the emperor! Thank you to the soldiers of the empire! Thank you to the relatives who gave life to someone! It is because of your existence that someone can understand the world, life of someone can be reborn in Nirvana, and life of someone can Have confidence and courage to embark on the road home. Fight until the last breath to protect Middle-earth, protect the empire, protect the emperor, and protect someone's relatives!"
Jialan was excited, his hoarse voice suddenly choked up, and tears filled his eyes.
When he was guarding the beacons in Tulunchuan, when he was nostalgic for the poplar euphratica in autumn by the Qiemo River, and when the generous years passed in the ancient city of Loulan, he once swore, naively and ideally believed that after arriving in China, he should be able to change history. He could save the Sui Empire and turn the tide from collapse. However, reality shattered his dreams and the truth destroyed his ideals. Today, he has made great achievements in battle, and he is in a high position. When he looks back, he suddenly finds that he is trapped in a cage, tied up, with no freedom, no autonomy, more than enough ambition but not enough power. He can only watch the empire collapse, and it is empty and sad.
The gap between reality and ideals is like the distance between Dongdu and Turunchuan, which is tens of thousands of miles away, while dreams are like flowers in the moonlight in a well, which can never be realized.
Jialan wants to cry, cry for Middle-earth, cry for the empire, cry for thousands of innocent creatures. I tried, I tried my best, but I still can't save you.
Jialan¡¯s tears rolled down.
Yang Gongren stared at Jialan, feeling inexplicably sad in his heart, and sighed sadly.
Xue Shixiong also had mixed feelings, stroking his beard and sighing.

Where should the knife be placed to maximize its deterrent power?
Knives should not be placed where everyone can see them, because over time, both the person who wears the knife and the person who is afraid of the knife will gradually turn a blind eye to it, or even forget it one day.
Therefore, the knife must be placed in people's hearts, lingering like a nightmare. Over time, it becomes a nightmare, making people fearful and uneasy.
How can you put a knife into someone's heart?
How can we maximize the intimidating power of Jialan, the Asura?
The emperor¡¯s solution was to release Jialan??The Western Land is placed thousands of miles away from the Eastern Capital. They can come when they are summoned and fight when they come. When they fight, heads will roll and blood will flow like rivers.
On the sixth day of October, the emperor arrived in Taiyuan.
The emperor issued an edict to remove the post of deputy ambassador of Jialan Northeast Road, abolish the Yanbei expedition, and use the post of General Hu Benlang to lead the old Long Guard Army garrisoned in Taiyuan.
Almost at the same time, Wang Xuba, Wei Daoer and other leaders of the Yanzhao rebel army led their troops to withdraw from the Taihang Mountains.
On October 22, the emperor returned to the Eastern Capital.
A grand ceremony was held in the Eastern Capital to welcome the emperor's triumphant return.
In mid-November, the emperor ordered that Jialan be appointed as the right guard general to command the Hexi Army, one of the three major armies in the northwest, to garrison the counties in Hexi and the Western Regions.
Jialan accepted the order and set off with the old Longwei troops that day.
The northwest wolf brothers and the soldiers from the northwest cheered. Home, finally home.
Jialan urgently wrote to Wencheng, Hedong, to say goodbye to Mrs. Gao, and told Su Hexiang: Asu, let's go home.
