In 180 B.C., on the 29th day of the winter and November, the general returned to the dynasty.

The new servant, Boyang Zhuang Chen Bi personally drove the imperial chariot, Liu Hongan sat in the chariot, accompanied by hundreds of officials from the central government, in an open place five miles outside Chang'an, waiting for the triumphant return of the baby, and the elite of the 5,000 Northern Army taken away by the baby.

The Northern Army, because of the particularity of its duty to defend Chang'an, seriously exceeded the standard, with a total of seven lieutenants and a total strength of more than 14,000 people.

Therefore, after deciding to secretly contact the princes and kill Zhu Lu, Zhou Bo first asked Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, to lead an army to attack Chang'an.

Its purpose, of course, was not to welcome Liu Xiang's army into Chang'an; Instead, he forced Lu Lu and Lü Chan, who controlled the northern and southern armies at that time, to send the northern and southern armies out to quell the rebellion.

In this way, the forces in the hands of the Lu clan can be weakened, and an opportunity can be created for the destruction of the Lu clan.

What Zhou Bo didn't expect was that Lu Lu and Lu Chan were not fooled, and did not send all the northern and southern armies, but ordered all the southern troops to stay in Chang'an, and handed over nearly 5,000 of the seven captains of the northern army, Changshui and Tuncai, to Guan Ying, and ordered Guan Ying to go to Xingyang to block the rebel army of Liu Xiang, the king of Qi.

In desperation, Zhou Bo could only change to a planB, so that the plan forced Li to send it, and went to Lu Lu's side to deceive the Northern Army soldiers, and then staged the famous 'Liu's Left Favor' incident.

As a representative figure among the ministers, Guan Ying certainly knew the plans of Zhou Bo and others, and also understood the task of his trip: to win the support of Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, and...

Stop the army of King Qi!

From the very beginning, Xunchen Group never considered letting Liu Xiang go to Chang'an; The reason why he secretly contacted Liu Xiang was just to distract the Lu clan and send Chang'an's troops out.

There are only two captains in Guan Ying's hands, and the total number is only more than 5,000 people, how can he resist Liu Xiang's army of more than 100,000?

Therefore, on the way from Chang'an to Xingyang, Guan Ying opened a 'plug-in' that only the Western Han Dynasty could use - absorbing militiamen, young and strong, rangers, etc. along the way, and using the elite of the Northern Army in his hand as the skeleton to expand the army in his hand!

With the elite in his hands as officers, the people who came to join the army were stuffed into the establishment and served as soldiers.

In less than half a month, the infant army has rapidly expanded from two captains of 5,000 people to a huge cluster of 22 generals and more than 80,000 soldiers!

As for why, this kind of 'plug-in' can only be opened in the Western Han Dynasty, because: from 5,000 to 80,000, nearly twenty times the expansion, but the combat effectiveness of the infant army has not weakened at all, and it is still forbidden, like an arm command!

And all of this is guaranteed by the huge militia training system of the Western Han Dynasty and the strong martial style of the people - every militia villager and young ranger who has been stuffed into the establishment has received strict military training since the age of fourteen, and all of them have been in the army for two years or more.

Compared with the military mobilization and training system of the Western Han Dynasty, Smecta's 'all the people are soldiers' in later generations is simply a playhouse!

A few days ago, the army of the king of Qi was ordered by Liu Xiang to return to the territory of Qi, and the infant was adjusted in Xingyang for a period of time, and led the army to return to Chang'an from Xingyang.

As when I went, on the way back, the militia Xiangyong who had been stuffed into the establishment was gradually dismissed, until today when it arrived outside Chang'an City, the army in the hands of Guan Ying naturally shrank again, returning to the original 5,000 or so.

Outside the city, waiting for the return of the infant army, in addition to Liu Hong and the hundreds of officials of the court and the central government behind him, there were countless ordinary people who climbed on the roof or climbed on the dead branches, stretched their necks, waiting for the heroic army to come.

- The Northern Army is the pride of the people of Guanzhong! The soldiers in the minds of the people of Chang'an!

If the Southern Army is based on the old villagers of Pei County who followed him when Liu Bang started the incident, and the children of Pei County are the source of soldiers, then the Northern Army is all the children of the good family in Guanzhong!

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the martial arts style was strong, and 'good men are not soldiers, good iron does not hit nails', diametrically opposed, ambitious, promising young people, all they yearn for are wearing armor and armor, holding a three-foot sword, to become a member of the Han field army.

The Northern Army is the most desirable place for the men in Guanzhong.

In Guanzhong, if a child from a poor family is selected as a soldier of the Northern Army, even if it is the lowest soldier, it will immediately attract the township Haoqiang to visit: Wen Gong has a son, Yunwen Yunwu can be called a masterpiece, a certain family has a daughter, 28 years old, can be described as a good match for the male unicorn...

If the powerful landlord's family has a son who is selected for the Northern Army, it will be even more amazing!

In two days, the son who was selected into the Northern Army will be 'taken away', and in a few days, he will appear at the door of the house with the newly married little lady and visit his parents at home: Ermeng will not give up the marquis, and he will take the wife of his daughter, and ask the adults to agree...

Seeing that his son was married to a high-ranking daughter of the Houmen, the old rich men naturally burst into tears, and went to visit their in-laws with large bags and small bags of gifts.

It can be said that the scholars of the Song Dynasty were on the list and paraded on the streets, compared with being selected into the Northern Army at this time, they couldn't get on the stage at all!

At this time, looking at the people in the distance, what they were looking forward to was their own sons, and the children of Guanzhong returned triumphantly.

This grand occasion made Liu Hong nervous, giving birth to a kind of anxiety in his previous life when he saw his girlfriend's parents.

After a long time, there were still no soldiers and horses on the distant horizon, and the waiting courtiers couldn't help but stir a little - this winter, the wind blowing outside for a while can make their noses run!

Liu Hong was also puzzled, subconsciously turned his head, and after seeing the undisguised provocation in Zhou Bo's eyes, his face sank, and anger suddenly ignited in his chest.

Sure enough, as Liu Hong expected, a moment later, a horse galloped from the east, dismounted about fifty steps outside Liu Hong's imperial chariot, trotted over, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the officers and men of the Northern Army have all returned to the camp, and the general will arrive in a moment." ”

Liu Hongdi's face turned completely black, and the alveolar deciduous teeth that had not yet been replaced were even bitten into pieces!

As the emperor, he came to greet him in person, but he didn't even see the army returning to the court...

Turning his head viciously, he saw that Zhou Bo's face was even more proud, Liu Hong stared deeply at Chen Ping, who was closing his eyes and recuperating with his hands around his arms.

When he turned around, Liu Hong already had a faint smile on his face that was not too stiff.

"It's okay, I'm here, waiting for the general's triumph."

After Liu Hong turned around, Chen Ping slowly opened his eyes and looked indifferently at the short and stubborn back.

What happened in Beique that day, that time was disgusting enough!

Now that Liu Hong is actually under house arrest in the palace, and Zhou Bo has wasted all his strength, and finally stabilized the northern army left behind in Chang'an, how could Chen Ping allow Liu Hong to appear in front of the soldiers returning from the expedition?

A tall and stout figure appeared in the field of vision, accompanied by the guards, and Chen Ping's eyes slowly closed.

- The attitude of the baby will be known today.
