Changsha City.

Under the bright sunshine, this imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty reappeared in its grandeur.

Thousands of people are empty, and I don't know how many people gather at the west gate of Changsha City.

Zhao Dongting personally led Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu, Zhang Shijie, Chen Jianghan, Su Liuyi and other civil and military officials to the west gate of Changsha City.

Zhao Dongting stood on the head of the city in a dragon robe, and the sword god Kong Qiangu stood on the side in a green robe.

Yue Peng led the Tiankui army to Changsha.

The Zhenxi Military Region under his command won a series of great victories in the territory of Kuizhou Road, but did not encounter defeat, although it did not annihilate the New Song Army, but it also drove the New Song Army away from the Song Dynasty in panic.

This is a great achievement, and it also allows Deyue Peng's prestige in the Great Song Dynasty to reach new heights.

Rao is that he has already gone to Chen Yushu, the fourth lady of the Chen family, as his wife, and he has not been able to reduce the enthusiasm of the people in the city to welcome him.

Before the army reached the outside of Changsha City, the city was already full of firecrackers and fireworks.

Zhao Dongting personally led the civil and military officials to wait at the city gate, which is enough to show that the imperial court attaches great importance to Yue Peng.

"It's coming!"

"Marshal Yue is back!"

I don't know when, such a voice sounded in the crowd, which pushed the warm atmosphere to a climax.

An army dressed in blood-red jade armor appeared in everyone's field of vision.

In front of the army is the golden and red flag of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the army, there are also the military flags of the Zhenxi Military Region, the military flags of the Tiankui Army, and the military flags of various regiments.

Countless flags fluttered in the wind, and the beasts on the flags showed their teeth and claws.

The cheers on the city began one after another.

In the midst of such a tidal wave of cheers, Yue Peng led the Tiankui army slowly to the city gate.

Yue Peng was wearing silver armor and holding a silver spear, like a heavenly general, raising his spear, and the army stopped together.

"Generalissimo Yue Peng of Chenzhenxi knocks to see the emperor!"

Looking up and seeing Zhao Dongting standing with his hands at the head of the city, Yue Peng's eyes showed excitement, and then he turned over and dismounted, bowing to Zhao Dongting.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Tiankui Army dismounted and bowed to Zhao Dongting in unison.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

The chorus of shouts made the cheers on the head of the city gradually die down.

There was a slight look of astonishment on the faces of the people.

As the elite of the forbidden army, the Tiankui Army made countless meritorious contributions with Yue Peng's southern expedition to the north, and the sergeants and soldiers of the army all had a faint murderous aura. Although it was not deliberately shown at this time, it also made the hearts of the people in the city slightly frightened.

It's a seed potential.

The power of the elite division.

Zhao Dongting's black hair fluttered gently.

He looked at the entire Tiankui Army, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, shouting: "All the soldiers of the Tiankui Army, please get up!" ”

The tone is very peaceful, but under the urging of internal qi, the voice is not small.

"Emperor Xie!"

Such voices rang out in the army.

Only Yue Peng didn't get up, and no one among the soldiers of the Tiankui Army stood up.

It wasn't until Yue Peng stood up that the soldiers all got up slowly.

This shows how high Yue Peng's prestige is in the army.

Su Liuyi, Zhang Shijie and others frowned slightly.

For the imperial family, it was not a good thing for generals to have too much prestige, especially a generalissimo like Yue Peng, who guarded the frontier.

It is likely that this will happen that the officers and men of the army only obey the orders of the marshal, but not the royal family.

But Zhao Dongting's face did not have any discoloration.

He just said aloud: "Welcome the soldiers of the Tiankui army into the city!" ”

Yue Peng was picked up by him, and Yue Peng was also born and died countless times for the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Dongting has a strong trust in Yue Peng.

"Please invite all the soldiers of the Tiankui Army into the city!"

Under the city, there is a palace honor guard wearing red cloaks, holding countless bright colored flags, shouting.

The cheers of the city began again.

Yue Peng bowed his hand to Zhao Dongting again, and drove his horse and led the army into Changsha City slowly.

As soon as he entered the city, he hurriedly dismounted with the deputy commander of the Tiankui Army and Du Yu Hou Zhang Hongfan and ran towards the city.

The rest of the soldiers of the Tiankui army stopped under the city.

The troops still stretched out of the city.

to the city.

As soon as he arrived in front of Zhao Dongting, Yue Peng knelt on one knee again, "Minister Yue Peng knocks on the emperor!" ”

The deputy commander of the army and Zhang Hongfan also knelt down.

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, helped Yue Peng up, and said, "It's really hard for you to hurry to Changsha from Kuizhou Road." ”

Yue Peng suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty, hard work is not hard." It's just a pity that I didn't make it to the battle of Gangneung. ”

Zhao Dongting glared at him lightly, "You guy, why do you still want this battle to continue?" ”

Yue Peng still smiled.

He is a battlefield general, a guy who likes to fight.

In front of Zhao Dongting, he didn't intend to hide anything. The Chinese military officer of the dynasty, when he and Zhao Dongting are the most intimate, in front of Zhao Dongting is not as restrained as others.

After laughing, Yue Pengcai gave Lu Xiufu, Su Liuyi and others a salute.

"Master Yue."

When he gave up his hand to Chen Jianghan, Chen Jianghan smiled from ear to ear, "Good son-in-law, good son-in-law." ”

The civil and military officials next to him had strange faces.

Every time Yue Peng returns to Changsha, it is the time when this old man is the most proud.

However, the Chen family was really lucky, and there was a Miss Chen Si who was favored by Marshal Yue. Otherwise, with the status of the Chen family, it is really not the top in the Great Song Dynasty.

Although Chen Jianghan is the secretary of the finance department, he is ranked at the head of all departments. But above him, there are also Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu, Su Liuyi and other provincial chief and deputy officials.

And there are not too outstanding talents among the juniors of the Chen family, if it were not for Chen Yushu and Yue Peng to marry, the Chen family could only be regarded as a second-rate nobleman in the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if it was rumored that Marshal Zhenbei Su Quandang wanted to marry a folk girl named Zhou Qianluo, the Zhou family actually did not take such a big advantage of the Chen family.

After all, there is a Su family behind Su Quandang, even if he is married, he is still dominated by the Su family. And Yue Peng's family, except for his sister Yue Yue, there are no other relatives.

This means that the Yue and Chen families are almost one family.

After everyone had greeted him, Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said with a smile: "Come, you will follow me into the palace and catch the wind for the soldiers of the Tiankui Army!" ”

He strode toward the city.

The civil and military officials of the Great Song Dynasty followed closely behind.

When they arrived at the city, the soldiers of the Tiankui army also slowly followed behind everyone.

Along the way, people on both sides of the street greeted each other.

"Your Majesty!"

"Marshal Yue!"

Shouts like this are incessant.

When they arrived at the palace, the soldiers of the Tiankui army were taken to the barracks for dinner. Yue Peng, Zhang Hongfan and others followed Zhao Dongting into the palace.

There was a feast in the palace.

The Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing of the Great Song Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Yang Shufei and the Empress Dowager Le Chan all attended.

Zhao Dongting's battle to welcome Yue Peng into the city can be described as grand.

During the banquet, the cup was changed and omitted.

After the banquet was dispersed, all the civil and military dignitaries dispersed one after another, and Le Chan and others also returned to the palace. Zhao Dongting took Yue Peng to the imperial study.

Of course, he still has some things to explain to Yue Peng.

Just on the way, Yue Peng asked, "Your Majesty, why don't you see my sister?" ”

Zhao Dongting replied with a smile: "Yue Yue originally returned to the dynasty with Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong brothers, but on the way, he heard that all the sects were exterminating the rivers and lakes and making chaos, so he stayed on Guangnan West Road again. However, now that the chaotic sects in various places have basically been cleared, I think she should be about to return to Changsha. ”

After speaking, he took the initiative to ask Yue Peng, "Are your wife and children okay?" ”

Yue Peng said: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, they are all in Chongqing Mansion, and they are very well." ”

Zhao Dongting patted Yue Peng on the shoulder, "There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be so polite to me." ”

Yue Peng grinned and asked Zhao Dongting again, "Your Majesty, now that the war in Northern Xinjiang has been decided, the Yuan Dynasty is seeking peace." Why did you let me lead the army to Changsha? ”

He may not not understand the word "meritorious master", but he has no intention of showing his heart to Zhao Dongting.

The emperor trusts him, and he doesn't need to say anything, the emperor will still trust him.

And if the emperor doesn't believe him, he can't reduce the emperor's suspicion of him.

Zhao Dongting replied quietly: "I have already ordered Su Quandang to find a way to take Xiangyang Mansion. ”

Yue Peng was slightly moved.

Although Zhao Dongting did not say it in detail, he could also think clearly about the stakes.

It is true that the Yuan army was destroyed one after another in Jiangling Mansion and Fuzhou, but they still have hundreds of thousands of troops in northern Xinjiang.

If Su Quandang took Xiangyang Mansion, no one could conclude that the Yuan army would not jump over the wall in a hurry. After all, Xiangyang Mansion was too important for both the Song and Yuan dynasties.

After a moment of silence, Yue Peng said, "The emperor wants me to lead the army to Jiangling Mansion...... Or Ezhou? ”

He knew what Zhao Dongting's intention was to let him come to Changsha.

Shocked the Yuan army in northern Xinjiang.

Let the Yuan Dynasty not dare to start the war again easily, even if it loses Xiangyang Mansion.

And the Flying Dragon Army led by Zhao Da and Zhao Hu, who were also transferred back to Changsha, thought to be the same.
