The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 579 Triumphant Division
At noon the next day, a chilly air swept across the world, heavy snow fell, and the whole of Luoyang turned white. The temperature was much colder than yesterday, but the whole of Luoyang was boiling.

"I heard that a large army returned in triumph today."

"That's right, His Majesty personally led a group of generals out of the city to greet him."

"Then I'm going to take a look too. This is a great happy event for my Great Sui Dynasty. The majesty of the emperor and the bravery of the soldiers have created the glory of my Great Sui Dynasty and the peace of the world!"

"Go together, go together"

"..."

Many Luoyang people and envoys from foreign countries went to the location of Dingdingmen together. After arriving at the 150-meter-wide Tianjie Street, they found that there were already crowds of people here. It was filled with high-spirited generals of the Sui Dynasty. Like javelins, they stabbed firmly on the snow, completely emptying the spacious imperial road, and pedestrians could only walk on both sides of the imperial road.

Dingding Gate is the main south gate of Luoyang City. Dingding has a lintel-style building structure with three gates.The entire gatehouse is composed of piers, doorways, gate towers, flying corridors, horse paths, water culverts, the south wall of Guocheng, roads outside the gate and water canals.Since the city was built in the first year of Daye, the basic layout of Dingding Gate has not undergone major changes, but in the battle between Tang and Zheng, the city gate suffered some damage. There are knife marks and arrow holes, and there are more years of vicissitudes, and the heavy feeling of history blows over us.

Today’s people in Luoyang respect the Sui Dynasty to the extreme. In addition to the constant publicity of the Jingzhao Mansion, the arrival of Yang Tong has made the war-torn Luoyang more stable countless times, especially the court and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. And the severe suppression of aristocratic families and tyrants made them willing to live under the rule of the Sui Dynasty, so even if no one organized them, they would spontaneously come to cheer for the triumphant division.

On the top of Dingding Gate, dressed in an official uniform, Deng Hao, the mighty city defense commander, appeared with a group of people. Looking at the crowded scene at his feet, he frowned and said: "If you pass on the order, you must ensure order. There can be no chaos, no stampede accidents, and no harm to the people."

"No!" A captain immediately responded.

Deng Hao heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked into the distance: "Xue Shuai and the others should be arriving soon."

At three o'clock outside the city, Yang Tong's heart felt the warmth of spring in the wind and snow.

Just because of today!

Xue Wanche, Yu Chigong, Niu Jinda, and Qiu Shili, who went deep into Tuyuhun and raided for thousands of miles, came back after making contributions. They hurried, and they never missed the biggest court meeting since the establishment of the dynasty.Excited, he led a group of generals to welcome him outside the Dingding Gate in Luoyang City.

Snowflakes fluttered like willow catkins flying all over the sky. Yang Tong was in front of the team, surrounded by dozens of generals in armor, holding their swords and swords, and followed him closely. They had the same armor and cloak of the same color, and they became the emperor's generals. The personal guards, in terms of solemnity and majesty, are a thousand times stronger than the Xuanjia Army, and a group of people form two rows, which has a unique style.

On the periphery, there are the Xuanjia Army and the Xiaoguo Army, which are as imposing as blades.

The purpose of dispatching so many troops is to show their military merits and show their importance to the generals of the Sui Dynasty. It is also to encourage more people to join the army, so that the army of the Sui Dynasty can maintain its youth and combat effectiveness; secondly, there are many foreign monarchs and envoys who came to congratulate Well, he dispatched so many mighty and mighty troops of the Great Sui to dispel the unreasonable aspirations of these people, make them fear the Great Sui, and achieve the purpose of defeating others without fighting.

As time passed, at the end of the line of sight, where the sky and the earth meet, a battle flag gradually became clear.Everyone's eyes gradually settled down.

An army slowly appeared in everyone's sight, and more and more people were attracted by this team.

Under the snowy light, the handwriting on the dilapidated "Sui" flag could no longer be seen clearly. About [-] soldiers approached, but the most attractive thing was the large number of war horses and cattle they brought.

Soon, what fell into everyone's eyes was exhausted faces. Everyone's armor was in tatters, and black blood stains were solidified on their armor, and their original faces could hardly be seen clearly. A desolate and chilling atmosphere appeared unknowingly outside Luoyang City.

Xue Wanche, who took the lead, had lost the handsomeness of the past, and his sharp-edged cheeks were very thin, showing a bit of vicissitudes.Although the short stubble concealed the British capital in the past, it added a bit of masculinity that was not there before, and the pair of sharp eyes became quite gentle at this time, giving people the feeling of a sharp sword hidden in its sheath.

Yu Chigong and Niu Jinda are not the same as before, but the tiger-like aura all over their bodies makes people dare not look directly at them.

Behind the two was a soldier of the coalition army. Even though everyone could feel that they were exhausted, at this moment, everyone straightened up and accepted the "inspection" of the elites of the Sui Dynasty who greeted them.

Countless farm cattle and war horses gathered together and were driven towards the city gate, but they did not follow into the city. Instead, someone took the lead in enclosing an open space and enclosing all the trophies.

Xue Wanche, Yu Chigong, Niu Jinda, and Qiu Shili, who were galloping on horseback, saw Yang Yu standing in front of him in military uniform in the wind and snow, their pupils shrank and their faces showed emotion. They slowed down their horses. Quickly, without waiting for the BMW to come to a complete stop, they dismounted one after another, stepped forward quickly, and said loudly: "The last general will see the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty has waited for a long time, and he deserves death."

"Don't be too polite, get up!"

Yang Tong helped them up one by one, and punched them hard in the chest. Looking at the faces of the four generals who had haggarded a lot, he felt a sense of sadness for no reason, and said in a very excited voice: "You are in a difficult environment. Going deep into the enemy's territory for thousands of miles, the right time, place and people are at a great disadvantage, but you are so frightened that Murong Fuyun dare not go out of the city and beg for surrender. Peace on the Silk Road, I am proud and honored of your great achievements."

"Thank you, the last general, for your praise!" The four generals were also very excited. Compared with the previous achievements of destroying the Khitan and Xi clan, breaking the East and West Turks, and Goguryeo, the achievements this time are indeed not big victories, but the combat environment is higher than before. Countless times.

The deeper they go into the interior of the plateau, the weirder the climate, and the more serious the 'altitude sickness' will be.Many people had symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension and diarrhea, insomnia, dizziness, drowsiness, numbness of hands and feet, and convulsions. Some unlucky healthy soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but fell asleep and died in sleep.

The harsh environment in Tuyuhun is definitely the worst since the four generals joined the army.It can be said that their enemy is not Tuyuhun's army, but the harsh weather conditions.

"No, no, no!" Yang Tong shook his head, and said seriously, "I'm not commending you, but your achievements, which are real."

"General Su."

"The end is here!" Su Dingfang hurried forward.

"Arrange these soldiers to rest in the barracks, take two thousand altars of fine wine, and give them to these soldiers, and slaughter [-] cattle and sheep each, so as to wash away the dust for these soldiers."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Xue Wanche, Yu Chigong, Niu Jinda, and Qiu Shili quickly saluted, but the soldiers of the coalition army behind them knelt down in unison, Yang Tong did not forget them, the hearts of these foreign soldiers felt warm.

Seeing these besieged coalition soldiers, Yang Tong went straight to a soldier, lifted him up with his own hands, looked around and said, "Please rise up, all soldiers, you are fighting bloody battles to protect the peace of the Silk Road, is it right?" I can afford the kneeling of meritorious people from dozens of countries, even business travelers from these dozens of countries, but I can’t bear your kneeling, please hurry up."

Yang Tong personally helped up a famous soldier beside him, bowed to everyone, and said loudly: "This bow is not for you, but for those soldiers of the coalition who died in the battle. I hope you will carry on the ambition of Paozawa and continue to fight for peace."

"I will swear allegiance to His Majesty the Saint Khan!"

Among the crowd, someone suddenly spoke loudly in blunt Chinese, with a sad cry in his voice, and the emotions accumulated over the past few months, at this moment, were completely ignited with Yang Tong's heartwarming words.

Yang Tong patted the shoulders of the soldiers in front of him, and said with a smile: "Heroes shed blood but not tears. I have sent people to the barracks to set up a banquet to wash away the dust for you. On the day of the court meeting, you will be responsible for maintaining the gate of the palace. Security at Heaven's Gate"

"Thank you Saint Khan!"

They may not know where Yingtian Gate is, but they know what the gate of the palace is. Yang Tong entrusted them with the protection of the gate of the palace, which is a kind of supreme trust, and for them, it is an unimaginable honor.

After everyone thanked them again, they left for the barracks outside the city under the leadership of their coach Su Dingfang.

"My lord, at the end of this battle, the general and others captured a lot of cattle, sheep and war horses, as well as a large amount of war indemnity. Murong Fuyun didn't have enough animals to pay for it, so the final general asked him to buy it back at three times the price of the Central Plains. There are countless silver, copper, iron, rare treasures, jade, and leather. It's just that those sheep walked too slowly, and the final general was afraid of missing the trip, so they were all put in Daxing City, and the leather was included in Daxing Palace. The horsemen and Qinghai Cong horse breeds requested by the Holy Majesty were arranged on the island in the West Sea Lake."

Xue Wanche pointed to the livestock all over the ground and said, "There are a thousand Qinghai Cong horses here. Considering that the imperial court needs to distribute cattle and horses to the common people, the total number of cattle and horses that will be brought will be 15 each."

Hearing this, Yang Tong was overjoyed and said, "We have received too much land this year, and we really need a lot of farm cattle to distribute to the people, but the shipment from Liaodong is really slow. In order not to miss next year's spring plowing, I plan to The crossbow horses in the army were used to replace the farm cattle, and they were given to the people. You brought so many, it can be said to have relieved my urgent need. Not bad, not bad, you have the level of governance as a county guard."

"The last general doesn't want to abandon martial arts and follow literature." Xue Wanche said with a bitter face.

"I know! It's just an analogy!" Yang Tong laughed loudly.

"My lord, Her Royal Highness Princess Guanghua is still waiting." Xue Wanche reminded.

"Okay, I'll go to greet you in person."

Princess Guanghua, a conjugal princess, dedicated her life to the great cause of the Sui Dynasty. She married Murong Shifu and Murong Fuyun brothers successively. Tuyuhun was destroyed by Emperor Wu once before. As the princess of the Sui Dynasty, her situation in Tuyuhun can be imagined , coupled with the fact that the Murong royal family has been displaced all these years, her fate is also quite tragic. Yang Tong welcomes her back, hoping that she will return to her homeland and live a peaceful life.

When she arrives, Yang Tong naturally wants to greet her personally.

With his start, all the generals will naturally follow.

……

At this time, Princess Guanghua's carriage was guarded by Xue Wanche and Yu Chigong's personal guards. When they saw the welcoming team ahead, their faces changed drastically and they dismounted to salute. A school lieutenant said to the carriage: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty has brought all the civil and military officials to pick you up."

"Ah?" Princess Guanghua in the carriage was taken aback.

Unlike Princess Huarong, whose surname is Yuwen, and Princess Yicheng, whose surname is Jiang, Jiang Fengyi, Princess Guanghua is an authentic royal family member. She lived in the mighty Sui Dynasty since she was a child. She is proud of being a daughter of the Sui royal family. In the sixteenth year of the founding emperor, she was selected as a marriage partner, and after arriving in Tuyuhun, she fulfilled her mission with due diligence.It's just that she didn't expect Tuyuhun to cut off the Silk Road arrogantly, and was eventually destroyed by Emperor Wu of the Sui Dynasty. Then, she was kidnapped by Murong Fuyun and went to the party, although Murong Fuyun didn't kill her to vent her anger.But her situation in Tuyuhun is also quite bad. If it were in the Central Plains Dynasty, it would be a life of being thrown into limbo. Princess Guanghua, who has lost all contact with the outside world, does not know anything about the situation in her homeland.

It wasn't until Xue Wanche and others rescued her that she realized the current situation of the Sui Dynasty. She never dreamed that the powerful and prosperous Sui Dynasty would be like a flash in the pan, with only a short period of glory for the second generation, and then fell into a chaotic world of fragmentation. In such a state, the country was almost wiped out.

It was also on the way that she heard the name 'Yang Tong' for the first time, heard a series of brilliant achievements of Yang Tong's upcoming mansion, and knew that the current Sui Dynasty is fully equipped to win the world again. She thought that the new emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who was as domineering as her clan brother, would at most arrange a master of ceremonies and clan relatives to welcome her.

Who knows, he actually came in person.

"Your Highness, not only the Holy Majesty, but also the Empress, she should have come to welcome you." The captain was surprised again. Yang Tong is a martial emperor, he greeted the victorious teacher himself, although everyone would be proud , proud, but not weird.But at this man's moment of glory, the queen who lived in the palace appeared, and this must be for the princess.

"General, please stop the carriage." Upon hearing this, Princess Guanghua hurriedly ordered.

"Here!"

At this time, Yang Tong had already brought the Queen Wei Fengwu, Tang Wang Yang You, Boling King Yang Gongren, You Servant Yang Shanhui, Minister of Civil Affairs Yang Shidao, Yang Zen Master and other clan members to the side of the carriage. Civil and military minister.

Such a high-standard welcome lineup, not to mention unprecedented, is also unprecedented. The glory of Princess Guanghua has reached its peak.

"See the Holy One, the Empress..." Although these soldiers knew that these people were not coming for them, they were very excited. Many of them couldn't recognize them, and they could only tell their high positions from their clothes.

"There's no need to be too polite, everyone has worked hard!" Yang Tong said with a smile.

"This is what a humble job should do!" The captain was so excited that he couldn't speak smoothly!

The curtain is up!
A dowry maid helped Princess Guanghua get off the carriage!

Princess Guanghua looked at the heroic young man wearing a golden crown standing in front of her, and she couldn't help but lose her mind for a while.

This new emperor looks too much like her elder brother, not only in appearance, but also in temperament. From the appearance, it seems that he is calm and peaceful, but in fact there is a faint majesty, which makes people What people feel is their majestic momentum that dominates the world.

"Grandma's hard work!"

"Aunt has worked hard!"

"His Royal Highness has worked hard!"

"His Royal Highness has worked hard!"

"His Royal Highness has worked hard!"

"..."

Under the leadership of Yang Tong, the royal family members, the civil and military officers of the Sui Dynasty, and the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty shouted one after another.

When Princess Guanghua heard the loud voice, tears burst out of her eyes instantly, she sat on the ground like catkins, covered her face with her hands, and cried bitterly.

There are so many complicated emotions in that miserable cry, it makes people feel dizzy!
"Grandmother, don't be sad, please hurry up, everything is over, you have gone home, as long as Da Sui and the Holy One are around, no one can hurt you!"

Wei Fengwu stepped forward and helped Princess Guanghua up from the ground, her eyes were red as she spoke.

"Thank you Majesty, thank you Empress!" Princess Guanghua cried for a while, and the grievance in her heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.

"Over the years, my nephew and grandson have been busy quelling the civil strife, so we have delayed until now. I hope my aunt and grandma won't blame me." Yang Tong sincerely apologized.

"Your Majesty's words are serious!" Princess Guanghua's tears rolled down like broken pearls.

"The imperial grandmother has prepared a family banquet in the palace, waiting for you to go home."

"Thank you, thank you!" Princess Guanghua burst into tears.

"The one who should thank me is the royal family who has no worries about food and clothing." Yang Tong sighed softly. He really couldn't understand Emperor Wen Yang Jian. To maintain the friendship between the two countries by means of marriage, it should be reasonable for the weak Gaochang, Turkic, and Tuyuhun to marry their daughters into the Sui Dynasty, but Yang Jian did the opposite!

Yang Tong really doesn't understand the thinking of these ancient people.

"Back to the city!"

"Back to the city."
