On the day that Rong Wan left the border pass, those little soldiers released the news that they were going to arrest the spies, and those spies hidden in the secret were even more panicked, and their behavior was even more secretive, but in the end they did not dare to act rashly.

On the other hand, Xun Zhan made a big change of blood for the soldiers guarding the border pass, and replaced them with more reliable people.

Xun Zhan discussed the methods of this battle with several deputy generals and military advisor Meng Sheng, and finally decided to take the initiative and kill Xiliao by surprise.

Because of this strict defense, so that the surprise attack battle out of the pass three days later made the Western Liao Army Zhang Huang at a loss, even though the Western Liao Army has been brave, when there is no war layout, it still suffered heavy casualties.

However, this was the first real victory since the war, and it greatly encouraged the soldiers of the Great Zhou, and then their morale was greatly boosted, and they pursued the victory, but twice, they drove Western Liao back to his own city.

Moreover, Xiliao suffered heavy losses this time, and it could not set off any storms for at least two years.

His Majesty, who was far away in Bianjing, received an urgent military letter from the border pass for 800 miles, and was very happy, and immediately wrote a holy decree, summoning the main general Xun Zhan, the deputy general Changping Hou, the deputy general stationed in the pass, and the military advisor Meng Sheng to return to Beijing, stay with the general Zhenguo to guard the pass, and wait for the holy order.

This time the war with the Western Liao lasted for more than half a year, the previous situation was severe, and when the Marquis of Changping led the troops to the two sides, the two sides were contained, and Xun Zhan was able to save the situation after a month or two.

When the four of them returned to the city, the gate of Bianjing City was surrounded by water, and even the tavern inn on the street of this city tower. They are all full, which shows that its grand occasion is not ordinary.

The main thing is. His Majesty ordered the crown prince and the third highness to come and welcome the four of them to the palace to usher in the feast.

The four of them rode in front of the tall horses, and their armor became more and more dazzling in the sun. Mighty and heroic, I couldn't help but let the people on the side retreat.

They were followed by thousands of soldiers from the border pass, without the fatigue of a long journey, with neat steps and a mighty voice, which was the real guard soldiers.

The crown prince and Xiao Xuanqing were not far from the city gate, watching the four people in front of them walk towards him with radiance, but they were dim. Although he was smiling as usual, his heart was as cold as an ice cellar.

Seeing that the person was near, the prince kicked the horse's belly twice, so that the horse stepped forward, although it was a prince's court dress, but the voice was suppressed by the glowing armor, "Uncle Xun Guo has made a great contribution this time, it is really gratifying." ”

Xun Zhan glanced at him casually, but it was the way. "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if you don't want to, don't force it."

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the prince's face froze. Then he said, "Uncle Xun Guo, what are you talking about, you are now the hero of my Great Zhou." Having won this battle, it is too late for His Highness to be happy. How could you not want to? ”

Ordinary people can get by here. But this Xun Zhan is not an ordinary person, "Your Highness, although you are full of smiles, the corners of your mouth are still drooping downward, and your complexion is slightly unnatural, if a person is really happy, how can it be this expression?" ”

Saying that, Xun Zhan waved his hand, rode past the prince, and headed towards the palace gate, not to mention Xiao Xuanqing, who was beside the prince, before he could take a look at Xun Zhan, he disappeared.

The prince's face sank and he didn't look back.

Xun Zhan's words, the Marquis of Changping heard it, but Xun Zhan has been willful for a long time, even if others say it, he won't listen to it, so he just looked at the prince with a haha, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Ah Zhan is spoiled by Your Majesty, Your Highness don't blame." ”

This sentence is to greet the prince's face, and the one who is favored by His Majesty doesn't even pay attention to His Majesty's biological son, what does His Majesty's biological son think?

But now the people who came back in front of him were all meritorious to Da Zhou, even if he was dissatisfied, he couldn't reprimand him at will, so he just secretly took a deep breath, suppressed Fang Cai's emotions, and looked at Changping Hou Dao, "What Hou Ye said is that this battle is thanks to Hou Ye's command on the side." ”

After all, the Marquis of Changping is the god of war of their Great Zhou, so it is not an exaggeration to say so, but the credit of Xun Zhan is given to the Marquis of Changping.

The Marquis of Changping only smiled and didn't say much, "Your Majesty must still be waiting, let's go!" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded, turned his horse around, and was about to walk towards the palace gate, but he heard someone calling him again, "Your Highness." ”

He turned his head, this person was the general stationed in Guan who followed the Marquis of Changping, and he was also the father of his side concubine, but he was in a bad mood and didn't have time to greet him.

This person was sent to the door, but he didn't want to ignore it, so he had to say, "The general has worked hard, so please come to the palace for a banquet!" ”

After saying that, he rode to the front.

Xiao Xuanqing silently accompanied the prince, making it look like he was just accompanied.

Both sides of the road leading to the palace gate were covered with people, who paid tribute to the generals from the border from time to time, and did not disappear in front of them until a few people entered the palace.

The prince walked in the front, and no one saw his face, and there was not a trace of a smile.

What happened in front of the city gate had already been reported to the Holy Lord, and the Holy One just hid his eyes and returned to normal.

When a few of them entered the palace, at the banquet, the saint just reprimanded Xun Zhan slightly, and the matter was over, and the banquet lasted until the evening, after the singing and dancing were leveled, and they each returned to the mansion.

The Xun Mansion is extremely quiet, and it is particularly unusual when the battle is won and the family is happy.

Xun Zhan came back from the palace and knocked on the main door, and after the servant at the main gate opened the door, he bowed his head respectfully and welcomed Xun Zhan in, and then closed the door again.

In the main courtyard, the lights are bright, and you can tell that there are people at a glance.

When Xun Zhanfang entered the main courtyard, he was grabbed by the arm, and he didn't need to look at it to know who it was.

Sure enough, when he turned his head, he saw a pair of bright eyes, cautiously afraid of making a sound, and looked at the main house from time to time, and then dared to whisper to Xun Zhan, "Second brother, those old guys are waiting for you in the house!" ”

Before Xun Zhan could speak, a gust of palm wind came from the main courtyard, slapping straight at them, I don't know whether to shoot Xun Zhan or Xun Ce, "You two, get me in." ”

It's full of momentum, where it looks like the voice of an old guy.

Xun Ce subconsciously shrunk his neck, hid behind Xun Zhan, and called out pitifully, "Second brother." ”

Xun Zhan glanced at him, didn't say anything, just strode towards the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw three people sitting in front of him, all with hideous faces, as if they wanted to eat him.

But he didn't seem to notice it, strode to the chair next to him, and before he could sit down, he felt a gust of palm wind blowing, and the chair next to him instantly turned into sawdust.

This is the best rosewood, these old guys, one is more than a loser, Xun Ce hid beside Xun Zhan and thought secretly.

Of course, he didn't dare to say this, otherwise it would be the same as a rosewood chair. (To be continued.) )
