1201 Post-war
A night of celebration, a night of carnival!
The victory of the war brought excitement to the people of Yangzhou City did not completely dissipate until dawn.
The first rays of sunlight shone into the city from the east, and the gate of Yangzhou, which had been closed for many days, finally opened slowly again as usual.
And with the opening of the city gate, those Yangzhou people who had been waiting here for a long time rushed through the gate and rushed out of the city like a flood that opened the floodgates.
In the surging flow of people, the young man who was beaten in front of Cui Jingzhi yesterday, the students in the academy, Wang Chongan, Bamboo Pole and others took the lead and ran at the forefront! As soon as he left the city, he ran towards the legendary battlefield with excitement on his face.
It's just that they were only ahead for a while, and there were fast horses behind them.
Seeing a few galloping horses passing by, several people hurriedly dodged, but the dust that was stepped on by the horses' hooves still covered the faces of several people.
"Ahh Riding a horse doesn't have long eyes? Why don't you fall to death? ”
A few young people of about the same age were foaming at the mouth, jumping and scolding at the galloping horses that were gradually moving away!
But scolding and scolding, they suddenly remembered a question: they were excited to patronize this morning, as if they had forgotten about this trip, there were thirty miles, and the round trip was sixty miles! At such a distance, why didn't you think of horseback riding? No matter how bad it is, it's better to get a donkey cart than to break your legs?
"Why don't you go back again?"
Subconsciously turned around, looking at the still surging flow of people at the city gate, several young people shivered together, and instantly dispelled this thought.
If you squeeze back and find the horse, you don't know when you will be able to squeeze it out again.
Thinking of this, Wang Chongan pulled the bamboo pole and ran towards the crowd that had already surpassed them in front: "Let's go, it's hard to come out, why go back again?" When you meet a big car on the road, please ask someone to take a section! ”
When the other people heard this, they seemed to be the same, so the little melancholy that had just arisen was immediately thrown out of the clouds, and they rushed to the north again with great interest.

Yangzhou City, the Governor's Mansion.
The victory of Yangzhou City, Xiao Hou killed more than 10,000 enemies in a battle, the merit document has been written by Cui Jingzhi overnight, early in the morning, sealed with a fire paint seal, called a red feather messenger, 800 miles to send to Chang'an urgently.
Haosheng instructed the messenger, and when the knight turned over and got on the horse, and the sound of the horse's hooves faded away, Cui Jingzhi yawned a lot, and staggered back to the bedroom, and fell on the bed without taking off his clothes.
After so many days, I can finally let go of my worries and sleep peacefully! From then on, in his dreams, there will be no scene of the city being destroyed and people dying!
"Yes... That's right...... Let people go to Xiao Hou to watch, and if there is any situation, come back immediately and report it, without delay......"
As soon as his head was on the pillow, Cui Jingzhi's eyes were as if they had been enchanted, and they couldn't open them at all! Reluctantly, with the last bit of clarity in his mind, he explained the matter of Xiao Han to the old wife beside him, Cui Jingzhi couldn't hold on any longer, fell asleep, and snored loudly!
Cui Jingzhi in the chief's mansion was already asleep, and Wang Wu, who was only one street away from him, was not sleepy at this time!
Sitting in a room in the official post house, Wang Wu looked down at a small card in his hand, frowned, and said uncertainly: "We are now officials?" ”
The little knife sitting opposite him was happily rubbing the small card that belonged to him with the corner of his clothes, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this, and said with disgust: "What do you think?" We're not officials yet! It's officers and soldiers! ”
"The officers and soldiers also have an official character in them, isn't it almost the same!"
Hearing the words of the knife, Wang Wu finally seemed to wake up from a dream, "let's click" kissed the cards in his hand, and then asked with a smirk: "Oh yes, was that Wubei Shilang surnamed Yang last night?" Let's report to him in two days? ”
"Nonsense! If you don't look for him, who will you look for? Xiaodao also endured Wang Wu's idiotic problem almost enough, he pursed his lips, and said with hatred: "How clear will Yang Lang say last night: this time most of the city defense of Yangzhou City has been damaged, and then the pursuit of those fleeing thieves will depend on us heroes!" Hmph, if you make a little more merit in the future, I guess it's an official, not a soldier! ”
"Oh......" When Wang Wu heard this, his heart was immediately happy!
In fact, he was already extremely satisfied to be able to join the Yangzhou Mansion Army!
You must know that in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, although anyone could enlist as a soldier, it was an auxiliary soldier who entered, not a government soldier like them!
Government soldiers, auxiliaries!
Although there is only a difference of one word, but in terms of identity and status, it is like a difference between cloud and mud, not to mention, being a soldier in the rich and peaceful Yangzhou City! That's a good position that countless people can't grab when they break their heads!
Wang Wu closed his eyes and looked forward to the scene of wearing armor and showing off his might on the street, and suddenly remembered something, and asked the knife: "Huh?" Why do you need to make meritorious service to be promoted? Isn't it okay for him to be our official directly? Isn't our credit enough? ”
When the knife heard this, his eyes were about to turn to the sky, what is called the lack of human hearts and swallowing elephants? This is a typical example!
"Hey, big brother, although our merits seem to be not small, but who called us at that time, we were not from the imperial court! I can't take credit for it! The knife explained to him bitterly.
Wang Wu still didn't believe it: "Really? But how did I hear that after making meritorious contributions, people directly became big officials from the white body? ”
The knife was speechless, and said helplessly: "Ahem...... Big brother, you will listen to less storytellers in the future! Jumping from a white body to being called an official, that is a general, the emperor has the right, our Yang Lang General is a petty official of seven or eight grades, you tell him this, believe it or not, can you scare him to death? ”
"Only the great general has this power?"
Wang Wu blinked his eyes, suddenly thought of Xiao Han, and then grinned with a big mouth!
That's right! Isn't he just a great general? And he owes his reward unpaid! If I told him not to reward him, but to ask him to raise his official position, it wouldn't be too much!
Wang Wu's saliva ripples when he wanted to be an official, as if he had forgotten that Xiao Han was still unknown about his life and death!
In other words, after he saw Xiao Han's magic, he never thought that something would happen to him!
How could such a powerful person die? With those weapons of his, even if the bull head and horse face come, he has to take a detour obediently, right?
After all the previous experiences, Wang Wu's trust in Xiao Han has reached a blind state!
Even he believed that even if Xiao Han died and entered the reincarnation hell, he would be like that monkey, turning hell upside down, and redefining his life limit in the book of life and death.
