The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 282 Chapter 270 One Wang Shi returned to Beijing, the emperor greeted Wang Shi in person
In the next few days, the barracks was filled with the joy of victory. For eight or nine days in a row, the barracks ate only mutton every day, and the faces of all the officers and soldiers in the barracks were full of red.

When it was almost noon that day, the emperor's imperial decree came down, and the official who delivered the decree was still the Lord Wang.

This Lord Wang stood happily in the big tent and announced the imperial decree loudly.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Changping King Qiu Rui led the army well, and made great achievements on the front line many times, and shocked the frontiers. I hope that after Changping King receives the order, he will lead the team back to the army on the same day. This is my honor."

After reading the imperial decree, the imperial envoy gave the imperial decree to King Changping, and said with a smile: "Old Qiantui, let alone, after I got those military horses back, the old emperor was very happy, and immediately added these horses to the army. "My lord, your prestige in this dynasty is also greatly shaken!"

Thousand years old Wang family, bless you! "

Changping Wang Qiurui laughed out loud.

"My lord, let's rejoice together. My lord, come, come, come, sit down quickly, and let's celebrate at the same table together later."

Lord Wang shook his head.

"My lord, I have also passed on the edict, so I won't waste my time here. I'll go back to Beijing right away. Shouldn't you pack up and go? I won't waste your precious time.

The Wang family is thousand years old, let's meet again in the capital. "

"Well, well, Mr. Wang, if that's the case, then I won't keep you. Mr. Wang, see you in the capital."

Sending off the sending officer, the old prince is in a good mood now!The desire to return to Beijing that I have been looking forward to for so many days has finally come true. The old prince can't wait to fly back to the capital all at once?It's been several months since I left home, can I miss home?

The news that the army was about to return to Beijing immediately spread rapidly among the army, and everyone was overjoyed.

People finally look forward to staying away from the battlefield, and a happy and stable life will begin immediately. Can people be unhappy?

The old prince asked Qiu Tianbao to find Jin Zhaoxiong.

The old prince patted Jin Zhaoneng on the shoulder and said, "Old Jin, I'm going back to Beijing today, so you're still here as your escort.

You have to pay more attention to this position, and if there is any trouble, report to the court with a fast horse to ensure the border security of our Great Sui Dynasty! "

"Don't worry about the Wang family's thousand years old, our brothers are here at this border, so it's safe!"

"Well, that's good. There are more than 2000 sheep in the army. I'll leave this for you. Usually, you can send a few people to keep them. When you want to eat mutton, it's not very convenient. ?
In addition, I will leave you another hundred horses from the captured horses, Lao Jin, as you know, there are quite a few horses in our army, and I can’t make the decision if there are too many horses. You can use these horses according to your needs. , how to deal with it in the future is your business, so I don't care. "

After hearing this, Jin Zhaoxiong bowed his hands to the old prince.

"Then I would like to thank the old prince, the Wang family is a thousand years old. To be honest, since you came, the brothers at the border have enjoyed a lot of happiness with you. Before you came, the brothers in this camp would not be able to eat meat once a year." ah!

Since you came, your old man said, how long have we been eating meat?

Here, on behalf of the soldiers of the full battalion, I would like to thank you, old man. "

The old prince Qiu Rui laughed when he heard this.

"General Jin, stop mentioning this soon. Don't you understand the truth? Blessings are shared, difficulties are shared, and one mind is united.

Well, let's meet again.

Qiu Bao, you go and lead a hundred horses to General Jin, come back quickly after finishing the matter, we will leave camp and return to Beijing in a while. "

Qiu Tianbao promised to lead Jin Zhaoneng away.

As soon as the old prince led the camp, he immediately set up the camp, and after a short while, he took the prince and the whole camp and set off on the road back to Beijing.

The old prince looked at his cavalry team, not to mention his happy mood. When he came, there were only a thousand or so horses in his army, and now all the officers and soldiers in the battalion have horses to ride.

Now it's infantry turned into cavalry. Thousands of unridden army horses are being bombarded by soldiers, and thousands of cattle are being driven by soldiers. How majestic and majestic it is!

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu put the things they got into a big bag, and followed behind the old prince in obscurity, not knowing what it was like in their hearts!

The two lieutenants, Fan Zhang and Zhou Tai, stood on the horse, looking indifferent, not knowing what they were thinking.

Due to the large number of cattle in the team, the speed of the team is not very fast.

The team walked forward slowly, and after five days of Xinfa trekking, at noon this day, the team finally reached the edge of the capital city.

With such a huge team, the dust kicked up can be said to cover the sky and avoid the sun!Pedestrians on the road ran away when they saw it.

The soldiers guarding the city gate had already reported it to the court when they saw it.

Suddenly there was a burst of gongs from the capital, and within a short time, all civil and military officials came out first, and then rows of emperor's guards of honor also came out, and then the old emperor came out in person on a dragon chariot up.

Changping Wang saw Niutou and smiled at Qiu Tianbao and the others.

Then, the old prince waved his hand behind him, and the team stopped abruptly.

The old prince got off his horse and whispered to Fan Zhang, Zhou Tai, Qiu Tianbao, Duan Wuji and Tieniu, "You guys also follow me to the fight.

How many of you haven't seen what the emperor looks like?
Let's go, this is the best time for you, Brother Emperor! "

Several people followed behind the old prince, and walked straight towards the old emperor's dragon chariot.

When they were two or three feet away from the dragon chariot, King Changping took the lead and knelt down, and the people behind him also knelt behind King Changping.

"Your Majesty, why did your old man take it over in person? Xiao Wang is really flattered!"

The old emperor smiled.

"Brother Qiu, you have worked hard this time, Prime Minister Yu Wencheng recommended you for this expedition, that is really the right recommendation.

Brother Qiu Wang, you are really a veteran, you are worth two.

On the edge of the pass, you actually won consecutive victories, you are really young!

Hey, Brother Qiu Wang, why do you even have cattle in your army?What's the matter? "

"Ask Your Majesty, when the first came, we won another great victory, beating more than ten thousand enemies, and took thousands of horses from the Turkic people. The cattle were also taken from them. , There are more than 3000 cattle in total, you said that if these cattle are distributed to the farmers, can we in the Sui Dynasty not harvest more grain?"

The old emperor was amused.

"Oh, so that's what happened! I only remember that your team was an infantry team when they left, why? Now they have become cavalry?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty's Hongfu, there is no infantry in this team, and all of them are cavalry.

Look, Your Majesty, aren't the groups of horses over there still unridden?

That's an extra horse! "

"Is that so? Brother Wang, you are really talented!"

"Your Majesty, Xiao Wang is old after all, how can he still have so much energy!

The reason why we can achieve such a great victory this time is all due to the hard work of Quan Zi and his two sworn brothers. Tell me, what can I, a lonely old man, do? "

"Is that so? Since they have contributed to the court, the Elder King Else Day must see them again, and then reward them according to the size of their contributions."

The old prince was happy to hear that.

"Then thank you, Your Majesty."

The old prince cast a wink behind him.

Qiu Tianbao took the lead and shouted loudly: "Thank you, sir."

Wang Changping looked at the army behind him and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought you back all the troops. Your old man should send someone to arrange them."

"Brother Qiu, don't worry about these matters, I will send someone to arrange them.

Mr. Wang, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, and I will leave this matter to you. You should be in debt for this matter. "

"The minister leads the order."

Mr. Wang agreed to arrange to go.

The old emperor said with a smile: "Brother Qiu, let's go, hurry up and follow me to Beijing."

"The younger brother takes the decree."

The old prince smiled at Qiu Tianbao and the three of them.

"The three of you go back to our palace first, and I will accompany your majesty into the Jinluan Hall to have a conversation with your majesty."

After speaking, Chang Ping led the horse and left first.

Seeing that nothing happened, Qiu Tianbao smiled and said to Duan Wuji and Tieniu: "You two brothers, let's go, follow me back to the palace and wait for the good news."
