Chapter 718: Generals Ask for Rewards

After a thousand instructions, Wang Meng roared away with a thousand howling moon wolf guards, Xiao Yi retracted his gaze, and then waved to the army behind him: "Let's go!"

More than 5,000 soldiers, hunting with banners, returned triumphantly in the direction of the Golden Dragon King City.

Three days later, the army finally returned to the Golden Dragon King City, but when it was close to the city gate, Xiao Yi did not find the figure of Sima Chi, the Jin monarch, and the person who greeted him was Sima Yu who he couldn't imagine.

Xiao Yi jumped off the horse, strode thousands of steps, and asked, "Yu'er, why are you?"

"Brother Xiao, it's a long story at this time, somehow, Uncle Huang suddenly said that he wanted to retreat and cultivate, and strive to break through to the innate realm as soon as possible, so he temporarily passed the position of Jin Jun to me, so when I received the news of your return this time, I came out to greet you with hundreds of civil and military officials, as for the imperial uncle, a day ago, he was closed in the Wuji Palace, and it is said that he will not go out of the innate realm. ”

When Sima Yu said this, he smiled bitterly and continued: "In addition, the sect elder also spread the word that he would pay the due price for his wrong behavior of besieging Xiao Daxia back then. ”

"Hmph! That old thing thinks about it very beautifully, although I don't know what happened back then, but it is rumored that the three of them were seriously injured and cannot recover, he is a dying person, saying these is nothing more than relieving my heart, but for the sake of his good attitude, I don't bother to worry about him, not to mention that this is also their grudge with my father, before my father's whereabouts are unknown, I should not make a decision on behalf of my father, since my father let them go back then, why should I do it now?"

Xiao Yi glanced at everyone present, and then said: "Okay, Yu'er, this is not the place to talk, let the army go back to the camp first, and then talk about it later!"

Sima Yu nodded, and asked someone to arrange the affairs of the army, while she led Xiao Yi, Wang Xizhi and others back to the Taiji Hall of the palace.

"General Xiao, General Wang, listed as a young man, generals, this expedition to the west, you have to work, now you have returned triumphantly, everything depends on your desperate efforts, only to have this brilliant result, so from now on, for a period of three days, I want to feast the three armies and enjoy with the people. Sima Yu sat on the dragon chair, looked at the people below, and said loudly.

"Thank you, eldest princess!" everyone bowed in thanks.

"I heard that the generals also captured the head of Xiyi this time, and their wolf lord Helian Hu and several generals have become prisoners of the ranks, my heart is very happy, what are the requirements of the generals, you might as well talk about it, I will do my best to meet them one by one. Sima Yu didn't say kind words such as rewards, but directly asked everyone to make their own requests.

Just when Wang Xizhi and the others were still thinking, Deng Qiang didn't bother to think so much, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he stepped forward directly, walked out of the queue, and said in a deep voice: "Eldest princess, I don't want other rewards, but there is only one thing, I need your support, which is also one of my wishes." ”

"Oh, General Deng, I know you, what's the matter, but it's okay to say it!" As Sima Yu's words fell, everyone's eyes in the hall focused on Deng Qiang.

Deng Qiang was not stage frightened, and said slowly: "Back then, the ancestor Deng Ai showed his strength, invigorated the national prestige, went deep into the enemy's hinterland, cut the generals and pulled out the flag, and eliminated the enemy's head, so that the person who pretended to be the emperor committed suicide by neck, and the sinner wanted by the Jin State for many years was pacified in one day. The battle never exceeded the scheduled time, and the battle ended quickly, sweeping through the west and pacifying Anseong and other places. ”

"However, because the ancestors were framed by villains, and the ancestors were framed for being proud of their merits and losing their integrity, they should be sentenced to death. Later, he was chased and killed by the traitorous villain sent by the Hu army, and even fell into the miserable situation of sending Xiyi. Looking back now, the truth of what happened back then is also revealed. Therefore, not only did I cry out for my ancestors, but also those who received the favor of my ancestors in those years complained about my ancestors. ”

"Not to mention that when our ancestors were in the west, they built boundary walls and forts. Even if there was the rebellion of the Eight Kings inside, there were also foreign tribes who launched a great rebellion, killing assassins many times, causing the road to be cut off. However, many officials and ordinary people were able to survive because of the castles built by their ancestors. Therefore, I hope that the eldest princess will issue an edict for the sake of the ancestors' merits to rehabilitate the ancestors. ”

After Deng Qiang finished speaking in one breath, he looked at Sima Yu with burning eyes, regardless of whether it was suitable or not, whether it would cause Sima Yu's disgust, because he had a clear conscience, not to mention that in this battle to conquer the west, he Deng Qiang also had military merits.

"It turns out that you are the descendant of Taiwei Deng, what do you think of Aiqing?" Sima Yu said as if asking for their opinions.

"When Deng Ai created meritorious deeds, in the face of the accountability of the previous king, he was punished instead of escaping, and his children and grandchildren were also reduced to slaves, and now looking back, I am also quite sympathetic to them, so Weichen believes that Deng Ai's crime, the eldest princess should be rehabilitated. Taiwei Wang Bin stepped forward and said.

With his leadership, Yilang and other civil and military officials also continued to write books for Deng Ai.

"Okay, since all of you Aiqing think so, and the merits of Deng Taiwei back then are indeed unmatched, then from now on, restore Deng Ai's Fengyi Luocheng, and be succeeded by General Deng Qiang, and make General Deng Qiang the Pavilion Marquis. ”

When the words fell, Sima Yu issued an edict to rehabilitate Deng Ai.

Seeing this, Deng Qiang couldn't help but kneel on his knees, and said in a condensed voice: "Thank you, eldest princess!"

"Okay! General Deng is exempt from courtesy, do you have any other requirements for being listed as a general? You can explain it at the same time!" Sima Yu waved his hand to make Deng Qiang stand up and continued to ask.

Next, except for Xiao Yi and Wang Xi, everyone said their requirements one after another, and Sima Yu didn't blink his eyes, waved his big hand, and all met everyone's requests, and many generals were even more happy, although the hundred officials on the side had a slight objection, but when they saw that the imperial lieutenant did not speak, they also fell silent.

"Wang Aiqing, don't you have any requirements?" Xiao Yi didn't speak, Sima Yu understood herself, and Wang Xizhi didn't ask either, so she asked politely.

"I don't want anything else, after this is over, I will leave the royal capital and devote myself to my studies. Wang Xizhi replied.

"In that case, I'm not too strong!" Immediately Sima Yu glanced at the palace maid next to him, the palace maid could be selected, and naturally she was also a delicate person, and immediately said when she saw this: "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat!"

Everyone retreated, and in this way, in the next three days, the Golden Dragon King City could be described as singing and dancing, and the whole army was festive. In any case, although there were casualties in this battle, it could not hide the fact of victory, and even captured the wolf lord of Xiyi.

Many generals and soldiers celebrated this great occasion. Drinking, eating meat, beauties, singing and dancing, all the same.

However, at this moment of celebration of the common army, Xiao Yi was not in the mood to appreciate it at all.
