At noon the next day, the cold air swept the world, the snow fell, the whole Luoyang became a forest white, the temperature was much colder than yesterday, but the whole Luoyang was boiling.

"I heard that a large army has returned triumphantly today."

"Yes, the Holy Lord personally led a group of generals out of the city to greet him."

"Then I also want to take a look, this is my great joy of the Great Sui, the power of the saint and the courage of the soldiers, which have created the glory of my Great Sui and the peace of the world!"

"Go Together, Go Together"

“……”

Many Luoyang people, foreign envoys and foreign envoys went to the position of Dingding Gate in groups with each other, after arriving at the Heavenly Street that is one hundred and fifty meters wide, only to find that this place has already been crowded with people, from Dingding Gate to Tianjin Bridge on both sides of the Heavenly Street, are already full of high-spirited Great Sui soldiers, they are like javelins, firmly rooted in the snow, the spacious royal road is completely vacated, pedestrians can only walk on both sides of the royal road.

Dingding Gate is the south gate of Luoyang City, Dingding three gates are beam-type building structure, the main city gate tower is the main body, and the two sides are connected by the city wall. The whole gatehouse is composed of piers, doorways, que towers, flying corridors, horse roads, water culverts, Guocheng south walls, roads outside the gate and water canals. Since the first year of the great cause of the city, the basic pattern of Dingding Gate has not undergone major changes, but in the battle of Tang and Zheng, the city gate has been damaged to a certain extent, after maintaining the original repair, it has been restored to the old appearance, compared with the beginning, there are more knife marks and arrow holes, more than the vicissitudes of time, and the heavy sense of history is coming.

Today's Luoyang people respect the Great Sui to the extreme, in addition to the continuous propaganda of Jingzhao Mansion, but also because of the arrival of Yang Tong, the war-torn Luoyang has been stabilized countless times, especially the love of the people by the Great Sui court and soldiers, as well as the severe suppression of the family and the strong, which makes them willing to live under the rule of the Great Sui, so even if no one organizes, they will spontaneously come to cheer for the triumphant division.

On the top of the city head of Dingding Gate, wearing an official uniform, the mighty city defense commander Deng Wei appeared with a group of people, he looked at the crowded scene under his feet, frowned and said: "If the order goes down, we must ensure order, and there must be no chaos, stampede accidents, and no harm to the people." ”

"No!" One of the lieutenants immediately answered.

Deng Wei breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look into the distance: "Xue Shuai, they should be almost there." ”

At three o'clock outside the city, Yang Tong's heart in the wind and snow felt the warmth of spring.

Just because of today!

Xue Wanche, Wei Chigong, Niu Jinda, and Qiu Shili returned from their meritorious service after sweeping thousands of miles in Tuyuhun, and they hurried and hurried, and finally did not miss the largest court meeting since the founding of the dynasty. In the excitement, he took a group of generals to greet him in person outside the Dingding Gate of Luoyang City.

Snowflakes are fluttering, like catkins flying in the sky, Yang Tong is in front of the team, dozens of generals wearing armor around him press the sword, closely follow the left and right, they have the same color of armor, the same color of the big cloud, as the emperor's personal guard, talking about solemn majesty, majestic momentum, a thousand times stronger than the Xuanjia army, a group of people in two columns, there is a different style.

On the periphery, there is the Xuanjia Army and the Xiaoguo Army.

The dispatch of so many troops is to highlight military merits and show the importance of the soldiers of the Great Sui, and also to encourage more people to join the army, so that the army of the Great Sui will always maintain its youth and combat effectiveness; Second, there were many foreign kings and envoys who came to congratulate, and he dispatched so many mighty and powerful divisions of the Great Sui to dispel the different aspirations that these people should not have, so that they would have fear of the Great Sui, and the purpose of surrendering the army without a fight.

As time passed, at the end of the line of sight, where heaven and earth meet, a battle flag gradually became clear. Everyone's eyes gradually settled.

An army slowly appeared in everyone's sight, and more and more people were attracted to this team.

Under the snow, the broken banner with the word 'Sui' could no longer be seen clearly, and about 10,000 soldiers approached, but the most attractive thing was the large number of war horses and ploughing cattle they brought.

Soon, what fell into everyone's eyes was a tired face, everyone's clothes and armor were torn, and the black blood stains stuck to their clothes, and they could hardly see their original appearance, and a desolate and solemn atmosphere appeared unconsciously outside Luoyang City.

Xue Wanche, who took the lead, has lost his former abundance and handsomeness, and his angular cheeks are very thin and a little more vicissitudes. Although the short stubble concealed the British capital in the past, it added a bit of masculinity that had not been seen before, and the sharp gaze became quite gentle at this time, giving people the feeling that the sword was hidden in its sheath.

Wei Chigong and Niu Jinda are not the same as they used to be, but they have a tiger-like aura all over their bodies, which makes people dare not look at them directly.

Behind the two of them, there was a coalition soldier, even if everyone could detect the tiredness, but at this moment, everyone straightened their backs and accepted the 'review' of the elite of the Great Sui who greeted them.

Countless ploughing cattle and war horses gathered together and were driven towards the city gate, but they did not follow into the city, but someone took the lead and someone circled a vacant land and enclosed all these trophies.

Xue Wanche, Wei Chigong, Niu Jinda, and Qiu Shili, who were galloping wildly, saw Yang Tong standing quietly in the wind and snow in front of them, dressed in military uniforms, when their pupils shrank, and their faces showed a look of emotion. ”

"Don't be polite, get up!"

Yang Tong helped them up one by one, and punched them in the chest, looking at the haggard faces of the four generals, there was a sour emotion in his heart for no reason, and he said loudly with excitement: "You are in a difficult environment, thousands of miles deep into the enemy's territory, the time and place are all at a great disadvantage, but you are so frightened that Murong Fuyun did not dare to go out of the city, begging to surrender, this battle played the majesty of the Great Sui, played the peace of the southwest of the Great Sui and the Silk Road, I am proud and glorious for the great achievements you have made." ”

"Thank you for the praise of the Holy Lord!" The four generals also seemed very excited, this time the exploits compared with the previous extermination of the Khitan, the extermination of the Xi tribe, the destruction of the Eastern and Western Turks, and the Goguryeo, it is indeed not a big victory, but the combat environment is countless times higher than before.

The deeper they go into the interior of the plateau, the more strange the climate becomes, and the more severe the 'altitude sickness' will become. Many people have symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness, nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension and diarrhea, insomnia, dizziness, drowsiness and dizziness, numbness of hands and feet, convulsions, etc., and some unlucky and sturdy soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but fell asleep and fell asleep.

The harsh environment of Tuyuhun is definitely the most since the four generals joined the army. It can be said that their enemy is not Tuyuhun's army, but the harsh climatic conditions.

"No, no, no!" Yang Tong shook his head and said, "I am not a compliment, but your merits, which are real." ”

"General Su."

"The last general!" Su Dingfang hurriedly stepped forward.

"Arrange for these soldiers to rest in the barracks, and go and get two thousand jars of fine wine, give them to them, and slaughter five hundred cattle and sheep each, and wash the dust and catch the wind for these soldiers."

"Thank you, Holy Lord!"

Xue Wanche, Wei Chigong, Niu Jinda, and Qiu Shili hurriedly saluted, but the coalition soldiers behind them knelt down in unison, Yang Tong did not forget them, and the remnants of these alien races felt warm in their hearts.

Looking at these soldiers of the coalition army, Yang Tong walked straight to a soldier, helped him up with his own hands, looked around and said: "Soldiers, please get up, you are a meritorious person from dozens of countries who fought bloody battles to protect the peace of the Silk Road, even if these dozens of countries are prostrated, I can afford it, but I can't stand your kneeling, please get up quickly." ”

Yang Tong helped a famous soldier beside him to pick him up, bowed to everyone, and said loudly: "This worship is not for you, but for those coalition soldiers who died on the battlefield, although they are dead, I hope that you will inherit the will of the robe and continue to fight for peace." ”

"We will swear allegiance to His Majesty the Holy Khan!"

In the group, someone suddenly said loudly in stiff Chinese, with a bit of sad crying in his voice, and the emotions accumulated for many months were completely exploded at this moment, with Yang Tong's heartwarming words.

Yang Tong patted the shoulder of the soldier in front of him, and said with a smile: "The hero sheds blood without tears, I have already asked people to go to the military camp to set up a reception banquet for you, wash away the dust for you, and wait until the day of the great court meeting, you are responsible for maintaining the safety of the palace gate and the gate of heaven."

"Thank you, Saint Khan!"

They may not know where Ying Tianmen is, but they know what the palace gate is, and Yang Tong handed over the defense of the palace gate to them, which is a supreme trust, and for them, it is an unimaginable glory.

After everyone thanked them again, they went to the military camp outside the city under the leadership of Su Dingfang, the commander who trained them.

"Holy Lord, at the end of this battle, the general and others captured a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, as well as a large amount of war indemnities, Murong Fuyun did not have enough livestock to compensate, and at the end of the battle, he bought it back at a price three times that of the Central Plains, and asked for countless gold, silver, copper, iron, rare treasures, jade, and leather. It's just that those sheep walked too slowly, and the last general was afraid of missing the trip, so they were all put in Daxing City, and the leather was included in Daxing Palace. The horsemen and Qinghai horses requested by the saint were arranged to the island in the lake of the West Sea. ”

Xue Wanche pointed to the livestock all over the ground and said, "There are a thousand Qinghai horses here. Considering that the imperial court needed to distribute cattle and horses to the people, the last general brought 150,000 cattle and horses each. ”

When Yang Tong heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "We have received too much land this year, and we do need a lot of ploughing cattle to distribute to the people, but the transportation from Liaodong is really slow, in order to avoid missing next year's spring ploughing, I plan to replace the ploughing cattle with crossbow horses in the army, and give them to the people. Yes, yes, with the level of governance as a county warden. ”

"The last general doesn't want to abandon Wu Congwen." Xue Wanche said with a bitter face.

"I know! Just an analogy! Yang Tong laughed.

"Holy Lord, Her Royal Highness Princess Guanghua is still waiting." Xue Wanche reminded.

"Okay, I'll go over and greet you personally."

Princess Guanghua, the princess of Heqin, paid a lifetime of happiness for the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, married Murong Shifu and Murong Fuyun brothers, Tuyuhun was destroyed by Emperor Wu once before, as the princess of the Great Sui, her situation in Tuyuhun can be imagined, coupled with the displacement of the Murong royal family over the years, her fate is also quite tragic, Yang Tong welcomed her back, and also hoped that she would return to her homeland and live a peaceful life.

When she arrived, Yang Tong naturally had to greet her in person.

When he started, the generals and ministers would naturally follow.

……

At this time, Princess Guanghua's car was guarded by Xue Wanche and Wei Chigong's personal guards, and when they saw the front to greet the team, their faces changed drastically and they dismounted and saluted, and a captain said to the carriage: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the Holy Lord has come to pick you up with hundreds of civil and military officials." ”

"Huh?" Princess Gwanghwa in the carriage was taken aback.

Unlike Princess Huarong whose surname is Yuwen and Princess Yicheng Jiang Fengyi whose surname is Jiang, Princess Guanghua is an authentic royal clansman, she has lived in the Great Sui Dynasty since she was a child, she is proud of being the royal daughter of the Great Sui, in the sixteenth year of the opening of the emperor, she was selected as the object of harmony, and after arriving in Tuyuhun, she fulfilled her mission with due diligence. It's just that she didn't expect Tuyuhun to arrogantly cut off the Silk Road, and was finally destroyed by Emperor Wu of Sui, and then, she was held hostage by Murong Fuyun and went to the party, although Murong Fuyun did not kill her to vent her anger. But her situation in Tuyuhun is also quite bad, if she changes to the Central Plains Dynasty, it will be the life of being beaten into the cold palace, and Princess Guanghua, who has lost all contact with the outside world, does not know anything about the situation in her homeland.

It wasn't until Xue Wanche and the others rescued her that she didn't know the current situation of the Great Sui, and she never dreamed that the powerful Great Sui Dynasty and the rich and powerful Great Sui Dynasty would be like a flash in the pan.

It was also on the road that she heard the name 'Yang Tong' for the first time, heard a series of brilliant achievements of Yang Tong's generals, and knew that the current Great Sui was fully equipped with the atmosphere of winning the world again.

Who knows, he actually came in person.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, not only the Holy Lord, but even the Queen is here, she should be here to greet you." The lieutenant was surprised again, Yang Tong was a martial emperor, and he personally greeted the triumphant division, although everyone would be proud and proud, it would not be strange. But at the moment of glory of this man, the queen who lived in the palace appeared, which must have come for the princess.

"General, please stop the carriage." Hearing this, Princess Gwanghwa hurriedly ordered.

"Whoa!"

At this time, Yang Tong had already taken the queen Wei Fengwu, the Tang king Yang Yu, the Boling king Yang Gongren, the right servant Yang Shanhui, the civil department Shangshu Yang Shidao, Yang Chanshi and other clan relatives to the side of the carriage, behind them, were the great Sui civil and military ministers.

Such a high-standard lineup of greetings, not to mention the last, but also unprecedented, the glory of Princess Gwanghwa has reached its peak.

"See the Holy Majesty, the Empress......" Although these soldiers understood that these people were not coming for themselves, they were also very excited, and many of them did not recognize them, and could only see the high position of their clothes from their clothes.

"No need to be polite, everyone has worked hard!" Yang Tong said with a smile.

"That's what a lowly job should do!" This lieutenant was so excited that he couldn't speak smoothly!

The curtain is lifted!

A palace maid who accompanied the dowry helped Princess Guanghua get out of the carriage!

Princess Guanghua looked at the heroic young man wearing a golden crown standing in front of her, and couldn't help but lose her mind for a while.

This new emperor and her brother look too similar, not only in appearance, but also in temperament, from the appearance, it seems to be indifferent, neutral and peaceful, but in fact there is a faint majesty, what makes people feel is their majestic momentum that dominates the world.

"Auntie and grandmother have worked hard!"

"Auntie has worked hard!"

"Her Royal Highness the princess has worked hard!"

"Her Royal Highness the princess has worked hard!"

"Her Royal Highness the princess has worked hard!"

“……”

Under the leadership of Yang Tong, the royal clansmen, the Great Sui civil and military, and the Great Sui soldiers shouted one after another, and the loud voice resounded in the sky, and the sound boomed for several miles, and Luoyang could be heard.

When Princess Gwanghwa heard the grand voice, tears burst out of her eyes instantly, and she sat down on the ground like catkins, covering her face with her hands, and wept bitterly.

That mournful cry has too many complex emotions, which makes people feel heartbroken!

"Aunt, don't be sad, please get up quickly, everything is over, you have gone home, as long as there is Da Sui and the Holy One in the future, no one can hurt you!"

Wei Fengwu stepped forward and helped Princess Guanghua up from the ground, and her eyes turned red as she spoke.

"Thank you, Holy Lord, thank you, Queen!" Princess Gwanghwa cried for a while, and the grievances in her heart seemed to have dispersed a lot.

"Over the years, my nephew and grandson have been busy quelling the civil strife, so I have delayed it until now, and I hope that my aunt and grandmother will not blame me." Yang Tong sincerely apologized.

"The Holy One is serious!" Princess Gwanghwa's tears were like pearls with broken threads, and the big ones rolled down.

"Grandmother Huang has prepared a family banquet in the palace, waiting for you to go home."

"Thank you, thank you!" Princess Gwanghwa couldn't cry.

"I should be thanked, the royal family who has no worries about food and clothing." Yang Tong sighed lightly, he really couldn't understand Emperor Wen Yang Jian, the Great Sui at that time was obviously powerful in all directions, and everyone was frightened, why did he still engage in peace, even if he wanted to maintain the friendship between the two countries by means of marriage, it should be reasonable for the weak Gaochang, Turkic, and Tuyuhun to marry their daughters into Sui, but Yang Jian came the other way around!

Yang Dong really didn't understand the thinking of these ancients.

"Back to the city!"

"Back to the city."
