Chapter 354 Victory and return to Liangzhou

In 937, the second year of Shi Jingtang Tianfu in the later Jin Dynasty, at the end of December, Zhang Zhao finally returned to Liangzhou City after a seven-month absence before New Year's Eve.

Zhang Zhao entered from the east gate of Xuanwu Gate, but hadn't entered the city yet. Yin Yaozi, the Deputy Jiedu envoy in charge of guarding Liangzhou, Song Shantong, the uncle of Liangzhou governor, Cao Sanniang, and Guo Wan'er, the little wild cat.

Even Zhang Zhao's loli, who is no longer a loli, Saman Persian princess Sefiye, and officials from Liangzhou, big and small, all came to welcome her.

Of course, there were more people in Liangzhou who had brothers and sons who followed Zhang Zhao to fight.

Thousands of people danced lightly outside Xuanwu Gate, expressing their joy for the returning soldiers with their dancing postures, and more drums and music rang together, playing triumphant elegant music.

With a high-pitched shout of "Remove Armor", Mrs. Cao took the lead, Guo Wan'er and Sai Feiye left and right, and the three of them came to remove Zhang Zhao's armor and put on a festive purple robe for him.

Now that Zhang Zhao is the king of the county, and the official position is also up to the first rank, the inspector Taiwei and the ambassador of Hexi Longyou Jiedu can finally wear purple robes.

After Zhang Zhao's purple robe was changed, he directly ordered the armor to be removed on the spot, and gave all the soldiers who went to war a full month's long vacation.

Then the relatives flocked to find their relatives and began to help them remove their armor.

The soldiers and officials of the Jiedu Yamen who stayed behind began to take back their weapons and armor, and registered the amount of pay to be paid and the date of return to the camp. As for the rewards, Zhang Zhao had already rewarded them.

Of course, according to the practice of the Guiyi Army, the ashes and relics of the fallen soldiers were the first to enter the city.

This time when he entered the Guanzhong to quell the chaos, Zhang Zhaozheng dispatched [-] Guiyi Army horse infantry, more than [-] horsemen from the six divisions, and more than [-] civilian husbands.

Including civilian husbands, in fact, there are only 10,000 taels in total.

Of course, the reason there were only [-] civilian men was because the Guiyi Army had a relatively large number of mules and horses.

And here, the real departure from Liangzhou, that is, 8000 people, only [-] soldiers.

In the seven-month bloody battle, more than [-] people were killed in battle, but more than [-] of the party members were killed.

The reason why the proportion is so large is because the equipment of party rangers, especially the armor, is either not available, or some leather armor of very average quality.

And they often take on relatively risky detection and cover tasks, and even lead the charge.

Among the Guiyi Army, the casualties of the six Xiaoqi were higher, the reason is the same, and the main reason is also in terms of equipment.

As for the casualties of the Guiyi Army in Hanhai Town and Yucheng Town, there were only more than a hundred people.

Because it is not easy to kill an experienced veteran who often wears double or triple armor, has practiced battles all year round, has top fat reserves, and is rich in experience.

Almost all the casualties of the Guiyi Army came from crossbow arrows, fighting head-on, and not many people died.

Of course, there is a premise that you can win every battle. Once you lose, even a warrior like the Guiyi Army will suffer heavy casualties in the pursuit battle.

Most of the soldiers of the Fengxiang Army were killed during the chase after the retreat.

Under the Xuanwu sect, the families of the soldiers who died in battle tried their best to suppress their crying. They didn't want to disturb the joy of the army returning from victory.

Moreover, generous pensions can also greatly alleviate their pain. In addition, although many relatives died in battle, some relatives have returned alive. Generally speaking, the atmosphere is not so depressing.

After settling in, it was the celebration banquet. Back to the familiar Liangzhou and his mansion, Zhang Zhao finally let go of his tense heart.

He ate meat in big mouthfuls, and drank in big bowls, as long as anyone came to toast with him, he would always come, and after a while, he was so drunk that his eyes were hazy.

In a trance, Zhang Zhao seemed to see an enchanting and playful loli with a sweet voice and a bit of a strange tune, dancing Huxuan dance for him.

The twirling figure brought up the gorgeous long skirt, fluttering like a butterfly, and dancing, the clothes on her body began to disappear continuously.

Until Zhang Taiwei, who had been vegetarian for half a year, howled and carried the naughty guy on his shoulders.

Zhang Zhao woke up, and he had no choice but to open his eyes until the sun was high, the room was really hot, and his stomach was a little hungry.

As soon as he opened his eyes, before he had time to get up, there was a soft exclamation and the sound of trotting footsteps coming out of the door.

After a while, Mrs. Cao San carried the copper basin herself, and a few maids behind her carried wooden barrels containing warm water.

Little girl, no!Now Shanniang, who should be called the big maid, also came in with her clothes in her arms.

The third lady Cao had spring in her eyes, and she came to undress Zhang Zhao without any scruples. Zhang Zhao knew in an instant who came in to replace the little loli Sefiye who ran away last night.

"Erlang doesn't know how to feel pity. Last night your little orchid ran to me screaming for help. She was crying so badly!"

Mrs. Cao San felt a little uncomfortable, she seemed to be blaming Zhang Zhao, but she was actually saying that there was a reason for her coming in last night.

Zhang Zhao laughed, and grabbed the hand of Third Lady Cao Yannai, without saying anything, the two looked at each other, there was a kind of old married couple's heart-to-heart connection.

At this time, Shanniang walked past Zhang Zhao in a long skirt that reached her chest. The silly girl who was twelve or thirteen years old in the grotto kitchen was now eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was very slim.

It's just that Zhang Zhao looked at Shanniang's chest in a strange way, and even pointed at the void with his finger.

"Shan Niang, where did you eat all the food? Is it because you ladies don't feed you! Why hasn't it changed? It used to be smaller than mine, but now, it seems to be the same!"

Shanniang was so angry that she yelled, and it seemed that she even wanted to pounce on Zhang Zhao and bite Zhang Zhao.

A person's first impression is really important, others regard Zhang Zhao as a celestial being who shakes Hexi Longyou.

Only Shanniang couldn't match the Hexi Longyou Jiedu Ambassador and mighty county king with the silly little novice in the grotto six years ago who was only wearing black clothes.

Mrs. Cao San laughed so hard that the little embarrassment just now disappeared immediately. She looked at Zhang Zhao dumbfounded and said.

"Is Erlang pleasing to Shanniang? If she is pleasing to the eye, she will be in charge of your daily life in the future!"

Zhang Zhao quickly waved his hand, "A certain martial artist, for daily life, you can just come.

Shanniang, wait for a while, so-and-so will find him a good family, so many unmarried good sons under his command, let Shanniang go to be a dignified and dignified big wife! "

After saying these words, Mrs. Cao San narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, and Shan Niang immediately forgave Zhang Zhao for her petty remarks.

Marrying a young military officer as a big wife is definitely much better than being a housemaid who is not even as good as a concubine in Zhang Zhao.

However, after washing, Mrs. Cao San was suddenly a little depressed, with tears still in her eyes.

She looked at Zhang Zhao with all her courage and said, "Did Erlang send Nobunaga'er to Tokyo because he really wanted him to be Princess Shang?"

"It seems that I still can't hide it from you!" Zhang Zhao also sighed.

"Why did Erlang do this? Nobunaga'er is brave and good-looking, and he brought hundreds of brave cavalry with him. I'm afraid the emperor in Tokyo will fall in love with him when he sees him. What if we don't let him go back to Hexi?"

"San Niang is so confident, Shi Jingtang will definitely keep Nobunaga'er?"

"That's natural. He is a good boy whom my concubine has painstakingly taught. How many young men in the world can compare with him?" Speaking of her son, Mrs. Cao San looked very confident.

Zhang Zhao thought about it for a while, and then said to Mrs. Cao San, "There is really an unavoidable reason for sending Nobunaga'er to Tokyo."

The reason for Zhang Zhao's helplessness is actually very simple. His status is getting higher and higher now, and there will be fewer and fewer things that he used to do in person.

And Murong Nobunaga was actually the substitute Zhang Zhao chose for him, the substitute when he charged into battle.

It was actually a test for Murong Nobunaga to go to Tokyo to meet Shi Jingtang this time.

If Murong Nobunaga was retained by Shi Jingtang with all his strength, but still managed to return to Zhang Zhao's side, then it would be considered that he passed the assessment.

In the future, Murong Nobunaga will be no different from his son except that he will not have the right to inherit the throne.

If he didn't pass the assessment and stayed in Tokyo to feast and feast, Zhang Zhao, who was spared, would continue to put in a lot of effort and emotion.

Moreover, the Central Plains will undergo drastic changes ten years later, and Murong Nobunaga, who is in Kaifeng, can also play an unimaginable role.

As for the last point, it is his selfishness. He wants to let the Daibei Wuxun Group accept him to a certain extent through the marriage of Murong Nobunaga and Princess Yongle.

In order to create a good external environment for Zhang Zhao to swallow the Jiedu envoy of Shuofang and attack the Li family of the Dingnan army.

As for the six hundred Xiaoqi who went with Murong Nobunaga, Zhang Zhao was not worried. He Zhang Zhao was not a civil servant like the Song and Ming Dynasty, but a vassal in the form of a foreign vassal.

Shi Jingtang is not the real son of heaven with a promise of Tianxian, but a son-in-law who is despised by everyone.

Shi Jingtang at this time can be said to be the most despised among the emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years.

In history, even Li Shengtian, who was far away in the Western Regions, despised him and dared to ridicule him in front of the envoys of the Jin Dynasty.

Not to mention the Central Plains, An Chongrong said, "The Son of Heaven is for those who are strong in soldiers and horses." ’ He said it while despising Shi Jingtang.

In fact, before Shi Jingtang betrayed his country and became the emperor, although the Five Dynasties were chaotic, the face of the emperor of the Central Plains had not been torn off by warriors from all over the country, and he was completely trampled in the mud.

But as soon as Shi Jingtang ascended the throne, the title of emperor and son of heaven became just a big Jiedushi.

Therefore, even if Shi Jingtang intends to keep the six hundred warriors from the Guiyi Army, he must pay several times the compensation.

Moreover, half of the six hundred knights were composed of various clans in Shazhou and Tang'er in Hexi. Their admiration for Zhang Zhao could not be moved by simple gold and silver treasures, not to mention that Zhang Zhao gave more gold and silver treasures.

What Shi Jingtang could really win over were the two hundred or so cavalrymen from the Liugu tribe.

As for these cavalry, Zhang Zhao can pull more cavalry from Liangzhou, Shanzhou, Lanzhou, and Taozhou at any time, as long as they have enough equipment and certain training.

Zhang Zhao already had a backup, the two hundred or so cavalry were the bait given to Shi Jingtang, as long as he ate it, he would be led away by Zhang Taiwei with righteousness.

　I'm afraid that in case there is something to be reviewed, just send it out in advance.
