Dajin royal family

Chapter 161
At night, the camp of the Jin Army in Wannian County was brightly lit, and the sound of joy in the camp could be heard from a distance. They went out in February and returned at the end of April.The soldiers miss their wives, children, and mothers, and the generals look forward to the imperial court's reward.Teams of patrol soldiers meticulously carried out the final night patrol task, and every man could hardly conceal the joy on his face.

In a tent near the northwest corner of the camp, Jiang Chengxiao sat upright on a wooden mat, kneeling upright. Opposite him was the old father-in-law, Sun Sheng.There was a wooden box on the table between the two of them. Inside the box was a large head, which was Chu Luo's head.

"So, Chu Luo didn't intend to fight us head-on at all. He just wanted to use our strength to eliminate Yishaxie. I didn't think of this. I always thought that whether it was the Turks in Bingzhou or the Turks in Yan'an County, In fact, it was just a stratagem, I didn't expect this person to be so scheming, he would rather exchange the lives of [-] tribes for the chance to unify the grassland."

Jiang Chengxiao stared at the dead head and said with emotion.

When the Turks in Yan'an County appeared, he thought that the Ministry of Bingzhou was the bait, but when Yishaxie appeared, he thought it was a two-pronged strategy, but just now Zhang Sun Sheng told him that this time only all the troops were wiped out. Luo 5 people, the remaining [-] East Turkic troops have already withdrawn to the grassland.

All of this was Chu Luo's plan. From the beginning, this man used the power of the Jin Dynasty to annex Yichaxie under the guise of going south.In this way, he finally understood why Yi Chaxie lost his fighting spirit and just retreated blindly. I'm afraid Yi Chaxie understood a little when Yang Taisu's reinforcements appeared.

Changsun Sheng reached out to pick up the lid, sealed the box again, and said: "Although the grassland has suffered a devastating blow this time, they should not be underestimated. Maybe in a few years, the remaining Eastern Turkic capitals, the Blue and the Straw It will entangle the army to start the battle for the domination of the grassland again."

"Although the population on the grasslands is not as large as mine, they recover too quickly. Teenagers stay on horseback for a few years, grow up in that environment, and will soon become horsemen. Both are warriors. Like wolves, they invade everywhere and enslave other grassland tribes. After ten years at most, there will be twists and turns on the frontier again."

At this point, Changsun Sheng looked at Jiang Chengxiao with a smile, and said, "But at that time, I think you can take care of yourself, and there shouldn't be any major problems."

The candlelight was flickering, there were rustling footsteps outside, and the shadow of the torch shone on the tent. Jiang Chengxiao showed a wry smile, and said: "Women think highly of green sparrows so much. The bird has become a dead body locked by Lou Fan."

Hearing this, Changsun Sheng did not refute.This is a fact. If they hadn't seen through Chu Luo's purpose, then Yishaxie's army would have broken through the Loufan Pass long ago. At that time, Yang Taisu could only lead his army to confront him anxiously in Bingzhou, and Chu Luo would take this opportunity to escape .

"Having said that, don't underestimate yourself. If we hadn't defended the Loufan Pass, I'm afraid we are still fighting with the Turks. How could Yang Taisu be surrounded by me?"

Changsun Sheng said with a smile: "What you lack is experience, courage and overall situation, you already have it."

"However." Changsun Sheng changed his voice and said, "Don't put yourself in danger next time. You are not a fierce general. If you face the predicament of Lou Fanguan again, who knows if there will be a second result."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao remained silent.These days, he has been thinking about what he has gained in this war, and one of the most important ones is that his conditions are actually not suitable for shooting arrows and attending the battle in person.Lou Fanguan incident was a wake-up call for him, he was indeed not a strong general as Chang Sun Sheng said.

"Qingque remembers the teachings of women and men." Jiang Chengxiao bowed.

Changsun Sheng stroked his beard in satisfaction. He had always believed that no one could compare to Li Yuan's second son in terms of spirituality, but until he met Jiang Chengxiao.This kid is no worse than him, even better.After all, he is the only son of King Zhao, and he is indeed satisfactory in teaching.

At dawn the next day, the gate of Chang'an City opened, and cheers erupted from both sides. Tens of thousands of people lined the road to welcome the two armies returning to the court. The elderly were looking for their sons in the long queue, women were looking for their husbands, and young children were looking for Father, touching scenes appeared one after another.

Jiang Chengxiao rode behind the two coaches, and his figure was obscured by the dense banners, flickering.Li Yaoshi beside him blushed slightly, this was the first time he had experienced such a welcoming scene, and he was quite touched.

Looking at Chang'an City, Jiang Chengxiao smiled slightly.He's back again, intact.Thinking of the scene of the previous expedition, combined with the slight ups and downs in his heart now, he couldn't help but say: "How many people have fought in ancient times."

This sentence happened to be heard by Li Yaoshi, he muttered twice, and sighed: "Yes, how many people did it?" He thought of You Xiaowei's [-] army, which was the brother team that went out with them. No one came back, and even the general's house was killed.

Among the buildings on both sides of Zhuque Avenue, Le Ping looked left and right with his head stretched out, looking for his brother in the army.Behind her, Yan'er also stood on tiptoe to observe from time to time, hoping to find her elder brother.

Eldest Sun Qingyi stood behind the two of them. Although she was anxious to see her husband, she also knew that she would not be able to see her today because she would have to attend various ceremonies when she returned from the expedition.

Who among the common people suddenly recognized Jiang Chengxiao, and suddenly shouted: "Jiang Huanqi is good!"

The news of Hussar General Jiang Qingque defending Loufan Pass has been spread throughout Chang'an City under the emperor's instruction.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxiao smiled slightly, and bowed slightly to those common people.

When the army arrived at Xuande Gate, the emperor's imperial chariot stopped on the stage.Standing on both sides are the princes of the clan, who are civil and military officials, and the emperor attaches great importance to this war, because Yi Shaxie and Chu Luo are all dead, and the frontier of the Jin family can be stable for at least ten years, and many of his big plans can also be based on this. implemented without hindrance.

When the two coaches approached Xuande Gate, they pulled the reins and pushed down the horse's head at the same time. At the same time, all the soldiers stopped, and there was no sound, only the cheers of the people on both sides.

Yang Taisu, Changsun Sheng, and all the generals behind them all got off their horses, knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "Participate, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wannian!"

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years."

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years."

The sound of echoes spread from Xuandemen to Baqiao outside Chang'an City. The greetings of the 30 troops were sonorous and forceful, covering up the cheers of the people.

The emperor got up slowly, walked down the high platform steadily, came to the two generals, helped them up at the same time, and said softly: "The two generals have worked hard, and the people of the Jin Dynasty will always remember the great contributions of the two generals."

Yang Taisu hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is serious. The army can win the flag and win all thanks to His Majesty's blessings. The people of the Jin Dynasty can be ruled by Your Majesty. It is in accordance with the heavens. Should be robbed."

Changsun Sheng nodded slightly, took the wooden box from the soldiers, and offered it up with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is a place where the head is collected and handed over to Your Majesty."

The emperor took the wooden box, opened it, and there was indeed Chu Luo's head inside. He glanced at King Zhao, and found that his eyes were slightly complicated looking at the head in the box.The emperor knew that this was indeed a genuine Chuluo head, and then he closed the wooden box and handed it to King Zhao, and then smiled and praised Changsun Sheng: "General Changsun, the pillar of the country, will be rewarded heavily after the sacrifice to the Taimiao." .”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I dare not take credit for this great victory. This great victory depends on the dedication of the soldiers of the three armies. I hope that Your Majesty will reward them heavily and serve the loyalty of the country with the security of the soldiers." Changsun Sheng said.

The emperor nodded and said: "The officers and men of the three armies have made meritorious service, and you and Xiang Xiang have equally contributed."

After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to the back of the two of them, just in time to see that figure.
