Returning to Chang'an City after nearly five months, Zhang Yuan felt a different atmosphere.

As the only army that fought head-on with the Xiongnu and suffered very low losses and won a lot, the Han army of the Qimen Army entered the city of Chang'an to greet the cheers of the people on behalf of the Han army in the entire Battle of Mayi.

Because of the need to prepare something, the period gate army was stationed outside Chang'an City for a day, and the next morning Wei Qing rode a horse and stood at the front of the entire period gate army.

Han Anguo and Li Xi followed, while Zhang Yuan and Gongsun Ao could only follow behind the butts of these bigwigs.

More than 2,600 soldiers of the Qimen Army were stubborn, and some of them were seriously injured and lost their mobility, but fortunately, they were riding around the city, and those whose arms were missing could hook the stirrups with their feet, and those whose legs were missing were tightly holding the reins with their hands.

The army moved from north to south from the Chucheng Gate, and finally entered the Weiyang Palace at the Anmen to wait for Liu Che's reward.

When Wei Qing rode into Chang'an City under the guidance of the officials of Daxing Mansion, the people couldn't be more excited one by one.

The cheers rose higher and higher, and countless petals were scattered in the air.

There were even more bold people who hung baskets full of fruits and food on the horses of the soldiers of the Qimen army.

This is a victory that the Han people have been waiting for for decades, a victory that is enough to make everyone vomit the resentment in their chests at once.

More than 20,000 cattle and sheep harvested by the Qimen army were distributed to the people around Chang'an, which was the happiest thing for the people, otherwise this victory did not have much to do with them.

Liu Che used the reward to closely link the victory of the Han army with the people, and it was from this time that the people began to realize that as long as the Han army continued to defeat the Huns in the future, their living conditions were likely to become better.

The high priest of the Huns was tied with a rope all over his body, and he followed behind Zhang Yuangong Sun Ao on a horse, and when he saw such a huge welcome party, the high priest finally couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Hmph, I think your Emperor His Majesty didn't tell your people the truth.

Victory? It's all a lie. ”

Zhang Yuan took a pear from the basket hanging on his war horse and took a bite, then turned around and said to the high priest of the Huns.

"There is no lie, our Futures Army has won this time.

Captured a high priest of the Huns, harvested more than 20,000 cattle and sheep, and beheaded more than 10,000 Huns, of which more than 4,000 were Huns, and our battle losses were only more than 300.

Isn't such a victory worth cheering? ”

The Hun High Priest's face became more and more ugly, but he still said stiffly.

"This time it was you who attacked and used trickery.

Wait until the next time, when your Han army is completely annihilated. ”

Zhang Yuan threw out the uneaten pears, and then said to the high priest of the Huns.

"Next time?

Next time, we'll have more three-bow crossbows, more horses, more crossbows, and more soldiers.

And you Huns still use bronze scimitars and inferior tactics, and the population will continue to decline in one war after another. ”

After saying this, Zhang Yuan didn't think about taking care of him, but instead showed a smile and looked at the cheering people around him.

Hearing Zhang Yuan say that the cheers around him were all for the time of the Gate Army, Han Anguo in front was a little impatient, so he wanted to urge the army to move faster.

But the road was crowded with countless people, and the Qimen army couldn't go as fast as they wanted.

As time passed, the crowd followed the period gate army to Weiyang Palace.

In normal times, ordinary people can't see the mysterious son of heaven, even if they travel, Liu Che uses another identity.

After the army arrived at Anmen, they directly backed the Prime Minister's Mansion and lined up in front of Weiyang Palace.

Liu Che was already standing on the tall palace wall at this moment, and the crown of the Son of Heaven looked very majestic.

When the people saw Liu Che, they immediately stopped cheering and didn't dare to speak more.

Wei Qing immediately dismounted and shouted.

"Captain Wei Qing of the cavalry did not disgrace his mission, returned triumphantly, and accepted the review of His Majesty."

After this, everyone dismounted and knelt on one knee, while the people fell to their knees, shouting long live the Son of Heaven.

"Flat."

Liu Che's voice naturally couldn't reach Zhang Yuan's ears, and this voice was spread by countless palace attendants, eunuchs, and small officials to spread Liu Che's words throughout this huge Chang'an City.

Immediately after that, everyone got up and looked at Liu Che, waiting for Liu Che to start rewarding everyone.

"When I learned of the triumphant return of the Han army, I rejoiced and grieved for the soldiers who were buried in the wasteland.

Today, all the people of the world celebrate together, and I also want to reward the meritorious and hard-working people.

With a crowd of 3,000 people, the Qimen army beheaded 17,685 Xiongnu thieves, but the battle losses were less than 400.

It is also directly inserted into the land of the dragon city of the Hun royal court, which makes the Hun thieves hear that the reputation of our Han army is terrifying, and this merit has been since the founding of the Han Dynasty.

Today, I promoted Wei Qing, the commander of the cavalry, as a servant and gave him the title of Marquis of Guannei. During the sealing period, Sima Gongsun Ao of the Gate Army was Wei Weicheng and resigned from Daliang. Shi Zhangyuan, the commander of the closed gate, was a lieutenant, and he resigned from the ranks. ”

After Liu Che said these words, he disappeared from the palace wall amid a cheer of praise.

The door of the harem was wide open, and the Yellow Gate Squire led a group of eunuchs, with the new official uniforms and imprints of Zhang Yuan and the others.

After Zhang Yuan and a few people took it, they thanked Liu Che again.

It wasn't until this point that the whole process was over.

Under the leadership of Li Jian and several other Qu soldiers, the Qimen army went out directly from Anmen and went back to Jianzhang Palace to station.

And Han Anguo and the others dispersed, each going back to his own house to find his own mother.

As for the high priest of the Huns, he was directly taken to the palace by Wang Sui and them, and it was necessary to review the authenticity of his identity, and Liu Che also wanted to see the high priest of the Huns dancing in his palace.

"Brother Yuan, your hard work for more than half a year has only earned a title of less master, I feel a little unwilling for you."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said.

"After all, you're the general, we're just doing it.

Gongsun Ao really killed so many Huns, and he forcibly exchanged his military exploits for the title of Daliangzao.

I just hid under the protection of a group of people, and shot a few Huns with crossbow arrows, and the results are pretty good. ”

Zhang Yuan was very relieved, and when he heard Liu Che's reward for him, he knew why no one was talking about him before.

Transferred to lieutenant Cheng at the same level, it is indeed inferior to Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao.

What Liu Che didn't say in front of the people of the world this time was that Han Anguo was directly removed from the position of Imperial Doctor and replaced by Gongsun He.

Then Gongsun He's vacated position as a servant let Wei Qing sit directly on it.

Han Anguo didn't know that he was sent to that county to be a taishou.
