Shi Xiu wanted to capture Tong Guan, but he didn't even participate in the celebration of capturing Jizhou, and directly led his men to pursue Tong Guan.
But his idea came to nothing.
In the camp of Bazhou City, the leaders of the resentful army, Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen, and Zhao Heshou, saw that the Yan army was now so powerful that the Song soldiers could not resist it.
They understood the situation clearly and knew that the Yan army would be able to capture Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures sooner or later.
They were thinking about their own lives.
They discussed secretly and agreed to work together to take Bazhou as a gift for promotion.
It was around the second watch of the night, when Bazhou guard Zhang Tianshun was having fun with his wife and concubines in the government office.
Suddenly, he saw Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen, and Zhao Heshouxuan leading their men swarming in with swords with exposed blades.
Zhang Tianshun hid in a hurry.
Guo Yaoshi jumped up and cut off Zhang Tianshun's head with a knife.
He held his head and shouted to everyone: "The Song army is cruel and unkind.
I have decided to surrender to the Yan State anyway.
Those who are willing to follow me are here, and those who are not will follow me."
Those who will go away" Originally, Tong Guan was extorting and robbing Bazhou, which greatly lost the support of the people.
Now the news of Tong Guan's defeat has also spread to Bazhou.
Now everyone in Bazhou is quick to deal with the Song army.
Pharmacist Guo responded to his call, and nearly 8,000 resentful troops and 3,000 old Liao soldiers killed nearly 5,000 Song soldiers.
Although Guo Yaoshi and others succeeded in eradicating them, they did so in order to control Bazhou and to show that they had surrendered.
They replaced all the flags of the Song Army on the top of the city with large flags with the word "Yan".
On March 19, Tong Guan escaped all the way to Bazhou under the protection of Bi Sheng and others.
Seeing the flag on the top of Bazhou City, he was so frightened that he quickly led his people to retreat south to ensure safety.
On March 24, Tong Guan and others led the army to retreat to Tanzhou.
Shi Xiu rushed to Bazhou, saw Zhang Tianshun's head, and heard that Guo Yaoshi and others had led their troops to surrender.
Although it was a pity that Tong Guan could not be caught, he still led Guo Yaoshi and others to see Lin Chong.
Lin Chong was very happy to capture the important Bazhou without a single blow, and treated Guo Yaoshi and others with wine.
Seizing Bazhou is already the limit of what the 50,000-strong army can control.
Lin Chong ordered Shi Xiu to lead the troops to garrison Bazhou, and no further advance was allowed without military orders.
With the end of the war in Bazhou, the war between the Yan Army and Tong Guan and the Song State came to an end.
The war is over, and governance begins.
There are countless things to do in the aftermath of the war, which are complicated but necessary, such as the disposal of the Khitan people, the recruitment and surrender of the old ministers of the Liao Kingdom, the recruitment of the surrendered troops, the comfort of the common people and gentry in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, etc.
However, fortunately, Yelu Dashi and Tong Guan's plundering in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun made the people and gentry chill.
After seeing the Yan army occupying the land, he did not do anything wrong to the people and even helped them with their work.
Carrying water, repairing huts, etc., Yan Jun quickly gained recognition from the people.
Stabilized Yan Yun's rule.
On March 28, in Xingzhong Mansion, Shi Jin received a battle report sent by Lin Chong.
I saw Lin Chong conquering Yanjing and sweeping across the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Shi Jin immediately feared the writing desk and said, "Okay."
After this battle, although Yan State and Jin State, Liao State and Song State successively faced threats from three sides at the same time.
But for Shi Jin, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages.
The most direct impact is that although the fifty states of Liaoning and Tokyo are vast, they only have more than 400,000 households.
Not to mention the narrow territory of Liaozhongjing, the population is only over 200,000 households.
But Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are different.
The population here is densely populated, with millions of households.
Moreover, the handicraft planting industry is developing well.
It can be said to be the economic powerhouse of the Liao Kingdom.

Without the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, the economic strength of the Liao Kingdom would be cut in half at least.
Zhu Wu said with a smile, "Looking at the look on His Majesty's face, it seems that Marshal Lin has gained a lot."
Shi Jin gave the battle report to Zhu Wu and said, "You should also take a look.
Lin Chong has recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, and General Tong Guan has felt Tanzhou like a lost dog."
Zhu Wu read it quickly, raised his hands and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, with the addition of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, the only place left in the Liao Kingdom is Liao Shangjing.
Great things can be accomplished."
"Zhu Aiqing, how are the newly recruited soldiers doing in training?"
Shi Jin asked Zhu Wu loudly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty.
After all the generals' training over the past year, the new recruits have become proficient in training and formations and are ready to go to the battlefield at any time," Zhu Wu quickly replied.
"Good" Shi Jin nodded in approval, "Now that the new grain has been harvested, there is enough food and grass.
It is time to attack the Liao Kingdom again, annihilate it in one fell swoop, and conquer the old land of the Liao Kingdom."
In the afternoon of that day, the news of the capture of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures came, and the whole city of Xingzhong Mansion celebrated.
For a time, the city was decorated with lights, firecrackers roared, gongs and drums played, and there was a burst of joy.
At the same time, the news of the recovery of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures was quickly reported to Liaoning, Tokyo and other places.
Xingzhong Mansion was filled with joy, but Liao Shangjing was gloomy and gloomy.
"Your Majesty, this is the third time that Yelv Dashi has asked for help," Prime Minister Zuo Youxibojin said with a hint of anxiety.
"Now how many troops and horses do we have in Daliao that we can mobilize?"
The Lord of Liao raised his head and asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, there are no other troops to mobilize now," You Xibojin said bitterly.
"Your Majesty, in order to solve the current difficulties, we can only borrow domestic slaves from various nobles to help."
Ouyang Shilang stepped forward and shouted.
Just when the Lord of Liao was about to agree, a Liao soldier ran up to the hall with an urgent military report from 800 miles away.
He knelt down on one knee, took out the letter from his arms and drank, "Your Majesty.
Urgent report from Yanjing."
"Hurry up and submit the report of the battle in Yanjing!"
Lord Liao suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart and shouted hurriedly.
Li Ji was closest to the letter soldier, took the letter, walked forward quickly and presented it to the Lord of Liao with both hands.
The Lord of Liao snatched the letter from Li Ji's hand.
After reading the contents of the letter, Lord Liao's expression changed drastically.
His body shook involuntarily and he almost fell down the steps.
Yelu Dashi was defeated and suffered heavy losses.
The city of Yanjing was destroyed
Yelu Dashi is fleeing to the Western Regions, preparing to become independent After reading this military report, Lord Liao raised his head and said in a hoarse voice, "My dear friends, there is no need to rescue Yan Yun.
Yan Yun has fallen."
"What?"
Including Youxi Bojin, the civil and military officials in the palace turned pale for a moment.
They were completely stunned by the news.
They were stunned on the spot, like clay dolls.
Lord Liao's face was livid, and he sat back on the dragon chair without saying a word.
Anyone in the hall could see that his anger had reached its peak.
When the right prime minister Chu Jian heard that Yan Yun had also fallen, he looked helpless and shocked.
Although Chu Jian, the right prime minister, had a bad premonition, he did not expect that the result would be so bad.
The fall of Yanyun destroyed Daliao's last hope.
The Lord of Liao suddenly slapped the table, stood up with an unprecedented look of determination on his face, and said resolutely, "I will personally lead the army to fight to the death with Shi Jin's bandits."

When Chu Jian, the Prime Minister on the right, was about to step forward to start the prelude, the Lord of Liao had already opened his mouth and said, "My beloved ministers, there is no need to persuade you any more, I have made up my mind":
