Chapter 395: Words of the Heart
Last year, the troops from all walks of life who rescued Yuyang Pass added up to no less than 400,000, and now, only less than 100,000 have returned. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, the soldiers standing here all felt a little emotion in their hearts.
In front of the army's formation, Yan Mingde stood with a group of generals. Among them, Xia Zhongtian was injured on his body, and his hands were still wrapped in gauze.
The civil and military officials of the capital have long been outside the northern city to welcome the holy driver.
Chu Zhaoheng saw Yan Mingde and the others, dismounted and handed over the reins to the guards, walked a few steps quickly, and came to the front of the military formation.
Ye Fuguo led the courtiers to kneel down and salute, and after Chu Zhaoheng said that he was exempt, An Guogong took a few steps and walked to Chu Zhaoheng's side.
Chu Mo glanced at it with a smile, took two steps back, and got out of the way.
Chu Zhaoheng hurriedly walked in front of Yan Mingde in a few steps, looked up and down a few times, and was relieved to see that Yan Mingde had no other scars except for the wind and frost on his face.
Yan Mingde bowed and saluted, "Participate in the Holy Lord!" The ministers are in armor, and they hope that the saint will forgive their sins. ”
Chu Zhaoheng helped Yan Mingde, "Uncle doesn't need to be polite." ”
Everyone knows that Yan Mingde is the uncle of today's son, but seeing that the prince is so polite and respectful, everyone was still surprised. After all, Chu Zhaoheng has shown an unprecedented iron fist and resoluteness since he won Ji'anbo and others in the battle on the outskirts of Beijing, and ordered the relevant people to be imprisoned, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, and the first holy decree after ascending the throne was to reinforce Yuyang Pass.
An Guogong saw Chu Zhaoheng's gentle and polite appearance towards Yan Mingde, his heart was cold, he raised his head, his eyes searched among the generals behind Yan Mingde, and soon, he saw his eldest son Li Jing.
After Li Jing came into contact with his father's gaze, he nodded imperceptibly.
Yan Mingde turned around and took a wooden box from the hands of the soldiers behind him, "Holy Lord, the first battle of Yuyang Pass, the ministers are fortunate not to be dishonored, and the head of the Beiyan Country Lord is here." With that, he lowered his head and raised his hands up.
This is the head of the Northern Yan Kingdom Lord that Yan Ning risked his life to kill? Chu Zhaoheng lowered his head, looked at the wooden box that Zhaofu had taken, and opened it to take a look.
The man's head was well kept, and the weather was bitterly cold, but it was not rotting. The unbelievable look on the face of the Northern Yan Nation Lord could still be seen.
Chu Zhaoheng couldn't wait to throw this head out to feed the dogs, but he was the Son of Heaven and could no longer act willfully.
After the death of the lord of Northern Yan, the prince of Northern Yan and the five princes successively led troops back to the national capital. The five princes accused the prince of Northern Yan of colluding with Da Chu to kill his father, and the prince of Northern Yan said that the five princes fled from the battle, and the four princes who stayed behind the garrison insisted on not letting the two enter the city.
The three of them were noisy and fighting, and Su Lihong, the prince of Northern Yan, had the most soldiers in his hands, so he led his troops to break through the national capital, beat the four princes away, and washed the five princes' mansions in blood, and the four princes and the five princes each led people to escape.
In Beiyan, although Su Lihong sat on the throne of the country, the four princes and the fifth prince were not purged, and the country was divided.
In order to fight for a reputation of filial piety, when Su Lihong sued Dachu for peace, he asked to take back the head of the lord of the Northern Yan Kingdom.
In the country of Great Chu, he also needs to recuperate, so Chu Zhaoheng naturally agreed.
Now, looking at the head of the Beiyan Lord, he had no choice but to take a look, let Zhaofu take it down and keep it properly, and hand it over to them to bring back when Beiyan came.
After Zhaofu went down, Chu Zhaoheng took a few steps back, bowed down and saluted Yan Mingde and the other soldiers, "You have worked hard to fight for the country!" I would like to thank all the soldiers for their bloody battles! ”
The Son of Heaven gives a gift, who dares to accept it?
Yan Mingde and the others ignored their armor and hurriedly knelt down to return the salute. The soldiers behind them also knelt down, some of them thought of their brothers buried in a foreign land, their eyes were red, and some even choked with low sobs. The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years, but in a battle, there were more strong men who could not come back.
"It is the duty of a minister to kill the enemy for the country." After Yan Mingde stood up, he said in a trembling voice, "The ministers are willing to serve the saint and swear to kill the enemy to serve the country!" ”
"Swear to kill the enemy and serve the country!" In the military formation behind him, there were bursts of shouts.
When the shouting gradually subsided, in the military formation, there was suddenly another shout, "Swear to follow General Yan to the death!" ”
This sound, in the quiet wilderness, was particularly loud.
When some soldiers heard this shout, the blood was still boiling, and they couldn't help but shout along.
Yan Mingde only felt a chill in his heart, turned around and waved his hand, and the military formation was silent when it was neutral.
An Guogong stood behind Chu Zhaoheng and couldn't see the face of the Son of Heaven, but it must not be too good-looking. Seeing that everyone didn't speak, he stepped forward and said with a smile, "General Yan is really like a mountain, and the soldiers are really loyal to you." ”
"An Guogong has won the award!" Yan Mingde is not a person who is good at words, and he no longer speaks after saying a word.
Chu Mo stepped forward, "Uncle has worked hard. He turned his head to An Guogong and said, "The army must be forbidden, and if the soldiers are not loyal to the generals who lead the army, then this army will really not be able to take it." ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked around in the military formation, "An Guogong, why don't you see the eldest prince?" When I led the troops to Yuyang Pass to rescue, thanks to your eldest son, he was guarding the south city gate, and he opened it as soon as I knocked on the door, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to catch up with the battlefield in time. ”
Some courtiers who didn't deal with An Guogong couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard this.
Chu Shizi's words are nothing to hear, but if you think about it carefully, it is too mean.
Outside the north city of Yuyang Pass, Yan Ning and other soldiers are fighting bloodily with Beiyan, Li Jing, the eldest son of An Guogong, does not kill the enemy on the battlefield, what is he doing at the south gate of Yuyang Pass?
As soon as Chu Mo knocked on the city gate, Li Jing immediately opened the city gate, and he was still standing at the city gate, isn't this equivalent to saying that Li Jing is leading people to be ready to flee for their lives at all times?
When An Guogong heard those low laughter, his old face was a little unbearable, and he snorted, "Chu Shizi really likes to joke, and the dog also acts according to orders." ”
Deng Yu was standing in front of the military formation, he heard the shout from the military formation, thought about the location, it should be where the gang of people in Nanying on the outskirts of Beijing were standing, and turned his head to see Li Jingzheng with his head down.
He and Yan Mingde are brothers in life and death, and after listening to Chu Mo's words, he laughed and said, "Thanks to Vice General Li guarding the south city gate to open the door, otherwise Chu Shizi, if you hadn't entered the city so quickly to rescue, we would all have to die outside the north city." By the way, Vice General Li, I heard that you volunteered to defend the city that day, was it a clever plan, knowing that Chu Shizi would come, waiting there to open the door? ”
At this time, not only the courtiers were laughing, but there were also people in the group of generals behind Yan Mingde. The warriors are not as subtle as civil officials, and if they want to laugh, they just open their mouths to laugh.
Chu Zhaoheng glanced at An Guogong, and in that eye, the cold was like ice, and An Guogong only felt a tremor in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.
