Chapter 300: Return to Jinling
From Xinyang County to Shouyang City, Zhou Luo sent a clapping rod building ship and two warships, and more than a thousand soldiers escorted Xiao Yao! And from Shouyang City to Jinling City, Wu Mingche was even more exaggerated, a total of three clapping rod building ships and more than a dozen warships, as well as more than 5,000 soldiers, escorted Xiao Yao, people who didn't know, thought that Xiao Yao was leading troops to attack Jinling City!
Moreover, Wu Mingche had also sent people to notify the various counties along the way in advance, and then trumpeted the young generals of the Chen State, the mighty general Xiao Yao Xiao Shilang was not only not caught by the Qi God of War Gao Changgong, but also returned to the Chen State safely from the pursuit of tens of thousands of troops of the Qi State! This made the people who had heard a lot about Xiao Yao's miraculous deeds in the past six months, and they all wanted to see the heroic demeanor of Xiao Shilang, who would call the wind and rain, beat the Qi country, and sent tens of thousands of troops to catch him!
And this is also Wu Mingche's intention, he wants to let the people of Jinling know that this Xiao Shilang is his Wu Mingche's person, and he Wu Mingche is covered, if he dares to make a move against Xiao Yao, who has temporarily lost power, then he has to ask these thousands of soldiers if they agree!
On March 25th, the gray clouds in the sky were gloomy, the spring breeze was blowing the willows, the smoke and rain were in the south of the Yangtze River, and Xiao Yao's fleet returned to Jinling with great fanfare all the way!
Like when Xiao Yao first came to Jinling three years ago, Xiao Yao also came to this Jinling Wharf on someone else's boat, when the warship slowly sailed towards Jinling Wharf, Xiao Yao, who was standing on the bow of the ship, watched the rolling Yangtze River water and the gray smoke and rain blend into one, this scene was a little sad, which made Xiao Yao's mood a little complicated and emotional!
A year ago, it was Xiao Yao who led the battleships of the infantry battalion to be the first to rush across the Yangtze River, and rushed straight to the Qi army camp in the north of the river like a dragon going to sea, and then killed the Qi army! After that, the battle was even more invincible, invincible, invincible, invincible, first in Xuyi County to defeat Gao Changgong's 30,000 defenders, killing the enemy Gao Changgong fled in embarrassment; Then he broke through Wang Lin's ironclad defense in Shouyang City, and finally captured Wang Lin alive! In just half a year, he successfully recovered Huainan, and although Xiao Yao was at this time, he was already famous all over the world!
But just when Xiao Yao was ambitious, ready to recover the lost territory south of the Yellow River in one go, and realize the big plan in his heart step by step, he was very happy and sad, and was calculated by Gao Changgong, and was defeated by Gao Changgong in the battle of Linying County, not only did most of his soldiers die in battle, but also lost all the artillery weapons across the era, and even he was like a lost dog, only he was left on the battlefield, single-handedly, and fled in embarrassment, and finally could only dress up as a monk and escape into Chang'an City of Zhou. Dodge the Qi army's search!
In the past six months, I have been hiding my identity and fleeing, and I have completely lost contact with Jinling, I don't know what happened to those lovers and relatives in the city? When the news that he was defeated by Gao Changgong and disappeared on the battlefield reached Jinling, how did everyone react? Those three little beauties should all be crying to death, as well as Bao Liang and Zu Yuan, they should be very worried, but they should also calm down quickly, after all, they are still very confident in me! As for Chen Shubao, it is estimated that he will be so happy that he can't sleep for a few days, and Chen Shuling, who lost his position in the court and was transferred to Xiangzhou, should be very depressed now!
However, now that I, Xiao Yao, have returned, all this has passed, and I will make a comeback, and when the time comes, I will definitely be ashamed and glorious again! If the forward brigade is disabled, then re-recruit troops and continue to train a new army of tigers and wolves! All kinds of artillery and muskets are gone, then forge them again, these artillery weapons in this Northern Expedition showed their might, I believe that Emperor Chen Xu will also strongly support me and mobilize more resources for me to remake these firearms!
The dock is getting closer and closer, and the figures standing on the shore, waiting for Xiao Yao's return, are becoming clearer and clearer, and Xiao Yao, who is full of thoughts, even heard their excited and happy cheers, but Xiao Yao's heart has been hanging, and his emotions can't be high, and there is even a trace of worry!
What exactly am I worried about? What is it that makes me so nervous and nervous? And Gao Yuan and Wu Mingche have been hiding something from me all along, what happened in Jinling City during the time I was missing? Xiao Yao's brows tightened, and his heart beat faster and faster.
The warship finally landed, a team of majestic and solemn, heavily armed guards disembarked first, they were armed with spears and broadswords, holding a battle flag embroidered with a big Xiao character, and then lined up on both sides of the gangway, and Xiao Yao, who was dressed in military uniform, accompanied by the commander of the guards who was responsible for escorting him back, also slowly walked off the warship, and finally stepped on the ground of Jinling!
"General Xiao, the last general has successfully completed the task and sent you back to Jinling safely! However, the Metropolitan Governor ordered the last general to divide this guard into several groups and slowly return to Shouyang City, so during this time, the last general will stay in Jinling with some brothers and wait for General Xiao's dispatch! The commander of the guard whispered.
"It seems that Governor Wu still cares about me very much, knowing that I have just returned to Jinling, and there may be people here who are not good for me, so leave you here to pick me up!" Okay, then thank you guys! Xiao Yao said gratefully.
"But the Metropolitan Governor also said that during our time in Jinling, General Xiao will be responsible for all expenses!" The Captain of the Guard gave a lewd smile.
"I'm responsible? I knew this old fox wouldn't be so kind! Dare to let you come to Jinling for a vacation! Xiao Yao glanced at him angrily, and then said with great pride: "Since the brothers are staying in Jinling for me, then of course I have to take care of you!" Don't worry, I, Xiao Yao, will never treat my brother badly! You have all the food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling in Jinling, I Xiao Yao has it all! When the time comes, I can also arrange for the brothers to go to the general casino to see and see! 652 Literature Network
"Then the general will thank General Xiao for his brothers! You don't know, our brothers are all poor people, and they have long longed for the famous general casino, but they are shy and have never dared to go! The Captain of the Guard said excitedly.
"Okay, I'll let Fat Zu arrange it for you later!" Xiao Yao said with a laugh.
At this time, a familiar voice, crisp and gentle, with a slightly trembling cry, came from far to near, "Shiro! You're finally back! I miss you so much! Then, a delicate figure rushed towards Xiao Yao, and directly threw himself into Xiao Yao's arms, a pair of jade hands hugged Xiao Yao tightly, and then a fresh lotus fragrance came to his face, it was the talented girl Xu Miao!
"Miaomiao, I'm sorry for worrying you! You have lost weight, exactly, the belt is gradually widened and you will not regret it, and you will be haggard for Yixiao! It's been a hard time! Xiao Yao held Xu Miao's beautiful face, which was carefully dressed up, but still showed a trace of haggard and pale, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, and said softly.
"I don't regret the gradual widening of the belt, and I will make people haggard for Yixiao? Shiro, you really can coax me to say such a poignant sentence again! Yes, for you, the big villain, we don't think about tea and dinner every day, and we think about you every night and can't sleep, the whole person is thin and haggard, but we have no regrets, we pray to the Buddha every day, and now we finally wait for you, the big villain, to come back! Xu Miao tried to smile, but the tears kept flowing!
"Childe! You're finally back, and you're really worried about the days you've been missing! Another figure also threw himself into Xiao Yao's arms, hugging Xiao Yao tightly, that perfect figure, wonderful curves, not Song Keer or who?
"I'm sorry to worry you, I swear, I won't let you worry about me like this again!" Xiao Yao hugged a beautiful woman with one hand and said excitedly.
Xiao Yao looked up and looked around, the entire Jinling Wharf was full of people, including the people of the Xiao family led by Xiao Moke, the people of the General Commercial Bank led by Zu Yuan, and the people of the Xingwang camp led by Chen Boxi, but there was a most familiar figure missing, Xiao Yao's heart couldn't help but tremble, and when he was about to ask Xiao Wuhua why he didn't come, Xiao Moke also brought his family to surround him.
"Shiro, you're finally back! Seeing you return safely, we are finally relieved! In the past six months, you must have suffered a lot, if it wasn't for saving your father-in-law that day, you wouldn't have fallen into the ambush of Gao Changgong, and you wouldn't have suffered such a crime! Father-in-law is sorry for you! It's all to blame on the impulse of the father-in-law! It's all to blame on the father-in-law... Xiao Moke cried with tears in his eyes.
"How could the Father-in-law say such a thing! I, Xiao Yao, are your son Xiao Moke, it is a matter of course for a son to save his father, if he sees his father in danger, but as a son, he will stand by, then he will be an unfilial son who will be destroyed! Xiao Yao hurriedly stopped Xiao Moke from continuing.
"Shiro is really brave and resourceful, and he is witty, he can escape from the search of tens of thousands of troops of Gao Changgong, and I also heard that Shiro not only escaped safely from Qi to Zhou, but also made a lot of moves in Zhou, this kind of intelligence is indeed very admirable!" Xiao Shilian seemed to have something to say.
"We'll talk about that later, and now that I'm back, we should be happy! It's all here, why didn't you see Wuhua? Why didn't she come? Is she sick? Xiao Yao asked nervously.
"Shiro, Maihua, she's fine, it's just that she's already..." Xiao Moke wanted to speak and stopped, and some words seemed difficult to say.
"Shiro, don't worry, Wuhua is doing well now, she's now... Xiao Shilian laughed and was about to tell Xiao Yao about Xiao Wuhua's situation, but was interrupted by a piercing and shrill voice!
A person who looked like a eunuch walked quickly, and then in front of the group, he straightened his waist and said arrogantly: "At the behest of Your Majesty, General Weilie Xiao Yao, enter the palace immediately!" ”
