Han Shizu

Chapter 1414 The courtesy is grand
Early summer is already halfway through, and even with the coolness of valley water brought by the summer wind, the air is still filled with lingering heat.However, for the Liu Fang brothers, they didn't mind at all, and they enjoyed it intuitively.

Roaming in the golden sunshine, Liu Fang's dark face faced the baking of summer, and he said a little intoxicated: "It's better to be in the Central Plains, even in this scorching day, it makes people so comfortable!"

A arduous and dangerous expedition journey not only sharpens the spirit and will, but also destroys the body, especially after experiencing the purgatory-like cold, the heat from the Central Plains is very precious.

"I don't want to go to Jinshan again in my life!" Liu Fang sighed, turned to look at Liu Min's thin and rough face, and said, "Sixth brother, before you return to Beijing, you have to take care of yourself." Fan, otherwise, I don’t know how much my heart will be hurt when the Empress Dowager meets Wei Wang Taifei!”

"It will be better after a while! When I return to Beijing this time, I must take a good rest and treat myself as a reward!" Hearing this, Liu Min grinned, revealing a touch of white teeth, looking in the direction of Luoyang, bright There is also a feeling of longing looming in the pupils, and the heart is getting closer.

After the military order was issued, the returning soldiers obviously picked up speed. During the march, the two brothers chatted one after another. Of course, it was mainly Liu Fang who was talking. Under normal circumstances, Liu Min didn't talk much.

Murong Defeng and Yang Yanzhao were ordered to leave, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth, when they returned, the army had already reached the outskirts of Luoyang, the sun had already set in the west, and it was almost noon.

Yang Yanzhao was the only one who came back, he was in a hurry and sweating profusely, but his heroic face was full of excitement.Liu Fang threw him a bag of water and said, "Quench your thirst, talk slowly!"

Yang Yanzhao was also polite, took a sip and showed a comfortable expression.

"Where's Murong Rixin? Why hasn't he come back?" Liu Fang asked.

After wiping his mouth, Yang Yanzhao said: "Officer Murong Lang was left by His Royal Highness to report the details, and the general will return at the end of the special order to lead the army back!"

"Prince?" Liu Fang couldn't help being surprised.

"Going back to Your Highness, when we heard that the soldiers had returned, His Highness the Crown Prince personally brought all the officials and guards of honor to greet him outside the Dingding Gate in the South City, and he was already waiting at the gate of the city!" Yang Yanzhao reported: "Your Majesty has an order to let the soldiers pass through Tianjie. Hold the entrance ceremony!"

Hearing this, even Liu Fang couldn't help but a look of joy flashed across his face, and said with emotion: "The imperial court pays so much attention to it, how can we afford it!"

Apparently, what Emperor Liu meant was for them to return home with honor and to enter the capital amidst cheers and applause. This kind of respect and honor was an extremely deep recognition for these expeditionary soldiers.

"Notify Yang and Wang Ergong!" After calming his ups and downs, Liu Fang immediately ordered: "Send the order, keep the formation, and march towards the south city!"

The setting sun hangs down to the west, releasing a burst of rich brilliance, covering the majestic and majestic city of Luoyang.In front of the Dingding Gate, there is already a solemn and solemn scene. There are many dragons and flags, and the guards of honor are in place. Hundreds of officials and guards are waiting in a neat line, very serious, not daring to look around.

Prince Liu Yang and Prime Minister Zhao Pu were present, and the rest of the princes, ministers, and ministers, who could come, also came. This kind of welcome standard was only enjoyed by Emperor Liu in the past.

There are also crowds of Xijing people around. Although they are blocked by the guards, their enthusiasm does not affect them. They are more curious and admirable for the soldiers of the expeditionary army who are about to return.

During this period of time, the stories about the Expeditionary Army were widely spread in Luoyang City. From the Department of Propaganda and Comfort, it took great effort to publicize the merits and spirit of the soldiers of the Expeditionary Army. The experience of the soldiers is full of legends, and it has also attracted the pursuit of Xijing scholars and people.

The avenue outside the city spans the moat and directly connects to Tianjie through Dingding Gate. The road has also been cleaned up. The surrounding crowds are turbulent, but the road is empty and clear. After a long wait, the expeditionary army finally appeared at the end of the field of vision.

When they found those dilapidated but high-hanging military flags, everyone cheered up. The cavalry team of nearly 3000 people came slowly, and the closer they got, the more clear the military appearance of the soldiers was. Perseverance temperament, very contagious.

At this point, Yang Ye, Wang Yansheng, and Guo Jin are undoubtedly in the middle. They are the commanders of the three expeditionary armies. Of course, they must occupy the C position. Even if they want to give in, Liu Fang will not accept it. , Liu Fang has both insight and capacity.

When they saw the high-standard scene in front of the Dingding Gate, several people couldn't help being stunned. Even if they were prepared in their hearts, when they really faced this kind of scene, they were moved spontaneously.

The three generals Yang, Wang, and Guo are all Guo Yi's brave generals, and they are all tough guys, but the tough guys are also inevitably moved at this time.Wang Yansheng looked older, more than half of his beard had turned white, and there was a blushing on his old face, whether it was sickness or excitement, he didn't know.

"The imperial court treats me like this, even if I die on the battlefield, I will have no regrets!" A sigh filled Wang Yansheng's heart.

"Welcome all the officials!" With the loud chanting of the ceremony officer, all the officials standing in front of the road immediately bowed their hands, and all the guards also saluted. Their movements were very neat and full of momentum.

This kind of battle surprised the three of Yang Ye, especially when they saw that even the crown prince Liu Yang, who was wearing a yellow robe, did the same thing, they were a little flustered.

Yang Ye didn't dare to be negligent, waved his hand, and said loudly: "The whole army obeys the order and dismounts!"

The soldiers behind them were basically from the Northwest Frontier Army. Most of them even came to Luoyang for the first time, and they were shocked by the welcoming scene before they had time to feel the majesty and magnificence of the capital.

Orders and prohibitions are his excellent qualities. Orders are passed on layer by layer, and they dismount one after another. The movements are also capable and orderly, without sloppy, and the sound of landing is full of momentum, which also shows the style of these frontier warriors.

Yang Ye and other generals got off their horses, then they stepped forward and bowed to Liu Yang and Zhao Pu together: "Your Majesty, I will see you!"

"I have seen my husband!"

Seeing Yang Ye and the others, with a warm smile on his face, Liu Yang stepped forward to help them, then firmly grasped Wang Yansheng's rough hand, and said, "Don't be too polite, gentlemen. I welcome you according to the edict, and it is you heroes who should receive the gift!"

Hearing this, Wang Yansheng immediately said: "The court's courteous treatment is too heavy, and the ministers can't bear it. Please return to Luan, Your Highness!"

Wang Yansheng is no longer the reckless, vulgar, arrogant and uninhibited general. Over the years, his knowledge and wisdom have improved.Although shocked by such a grand reception by the imperial court, I also knew in my heart that such a standard was really out of line. They couldn't bear it, and they didn't dare to accept it directly.

Seeing this, Liu Yang showed a solemn attitude, and did not let go of Wang Yansheng's hand. He glanced around at the generals and said, "Don't be humble, gentlemen. Your Majesty has said that it is extremely difficult for you to go on an expedition and fight to kill the enemy and serve the country." , After all the hard work, I will be honored when I return.

More importantly, in terms of the hardships and dangers of the battle and the harsh situation, you are the only ones in the entire army. You are in a foreign land, not only admiring the prestige of our Han army, but also showing the spirit of our Han army. No matter how high the courtesy is, Not too much! "

As soon as these words came out, several veteran generals couldn't help but their eyes flushed, their hearts were surging, and they bowed in the direction of the imperial city.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has an edict to let the soldiers of the expedition enter the city through Tianjie Street, and receive the cheers from the people of Xijing. Your Majesty will accept the prisoners at the palace!" At this time, Zhao Pu also showed kindness to these meritorious generals, with an extremely gentle old face.

"Thank you, Zhao Xiang!"

"Fourth brother, sixth brother!" Liu Yang looked at Liu Fang and Liu Min again.

I haven't seen each other for more than a year, and the appearance and temperament seem a little strange, but Liu Yang's attitude is very friendly, especially seeing the current state of the brothers Liu Fang and Liu Min, I feel a little more emotional.

"My brother, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Probably because of the occasion, the two brothers Liu Fang also bowed to salute very solemnly.

"There is no need to be too polite!" Liu Yang smiled unabated, and waved: "Go, follow me into the city, and accept the cheers of the people."
