Chapter 171: Thanksgiving

After a short rest, Zhou Huaji also carried the holy decree and prepared to announce it.

And Yuan Chao also respectfully set up the incense case and was ready to receive the order.

"Yuan Chao, you really have yours, we met again so soon."

"Since our family entered the palace, we haven't seen anyone like you." Zhou Huaji squinted his eyes, looking at Yuan Chao with a look that he didn't look at the wrong person.

Zhou Huaji was very happy in his heart that Yuan Chao was rising step by step, after all, his relationship with Yuan Dynasty was still very unhurried, and Yuan Chao's step by step promotion was also a great help to him.

"Father-in-law Zhou, I have made rapid progress because my starting point is low enough, I was promoted to a hundred household officials after a show, and a hundred household officials were promoted to a thousand household officials, and now I am a thousand household officials who are not in the mainstream at all in the eyes of literati, where is there anything worth boasting about." Yuan Chao said these words, half out of modesty, and half of the night was indeed the truth, after all, in this period of the Ming Dynasty, a thousand household officials, really can't get into the eyes of many civil officials.

Zhou Huaji also listened to Yuan Chao's words and knew that Yuan Chao was half modest and half a little resentful.

"Yuan Chao, no, isn't this our family here to report the good news to you again."

"Yuan Chao, prepare to receive the order." Zhou Huaji raised the holy decree and prepared to announce it to the Yuan Dynasty.

When Yuan Chao saw the holy decree raised in Zhou Huaji's hand, he immediately made a big salute and prepared to receive it.

In the previous red tape-like fixed last class discourse, Yuan Chao listened absent-mindedly.

Finally, Zhou Huaji's throat, which seemed to be pinched, read Yuan Chao's concerned sentence.

"Feng Yuan Dynasty is the commander of the five products of Chen Zhouwei......"

After hearing such a reward, Yuan Chao also showed a satisfied smile.

"It's worth the trip." Yuan Chao had such a feeling in his heart.

Finally, Zhou Huaji finished reading out a long list of holy decrees, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yuan Chao, take the order." Zhou Huaji closed the holy decree, and then stretched out his hand and handed it to Yuan Chao.

"Minister Yuan Dynasty, thank you." Yuan Chao saluted respectfully, then stood up and received the holy decree.

"Yuan Dynasty, this time not only is your promotion, but the emperor has almost approved the list of heroes you handed over, this time, it can be said that the emperor's grace is vast." Zhou Huaji also cast envious eyes.

"Father-in-law Zhou, thank you for your help this time, Father-in-law Zhou has worked hard all the way this time, and it is also hard, Yuan Chao has prepared a thin gift, and I also ask Father-in-law Zhou to smile."

"Ao, by the way, Father-in-law Zhou, and I have now been appointed as the commander of Chenzhouwei, so I plan to return to Chenzhou immediately, so I can't sit and talk with Father-in-law Zhou, and ask Father-in-law Zhou to bear with me." After Yuan Chao received the holy decree, he already wanted to return to Chenzhou with his whole mind, and he didn't want to stay in Dengzhou too much.

"Yuan Chao, we are all old friends, why are you so polite." Zhou Huaji didn't care when Yuan Chao left, but he clearly heard that Yuan Chao had prepared a "thin gift" for himself.

According to Zhou Huaji's understanding of the Yuan Dynasty, his "Bo Li" will naturally not really be Bo Li.

So now all he thinks about is those yellow and white things.

Yuan Chao also smiled. "Father-in-law Zhou, this is all a little bit of my heart, please don't shirk."

After speaking, Yuan Chao walked to the main seat and sat down.

When Zhou Huaji saw Yuan Chao sitting down, he also knew that Yuan Chao had something to deal with next, and he was also anxious to see a "thin gift" that Yuan Chao had prepared for him, so Zhou Huaji also retired by himself.

After seeing Zhou Huaji withdraw, Yuan Chao also immediately ordered the herald beside him.

"Go, pass the order, and let all the core members come to the lobby to discuss matters."

When the herald heard the news, he immediately trotted out, found the brothers who were on standby, and began to divide up to give orders.

didn't let Yuan Chao wait too long, and all the core members who followed this time came to the lobby.

The core members in the mouths of Yuan Chao and Xinbing refer to Yuan Xu, Yang Hao, those old men, and Zhou Qiang, Zhou Dadi, and Chu Kuo, who were newly included in the core.

Looking at the brothers standing in the hall, Yuan Chao was also smiling.

"Brethren, how long have we been away from home?" Yuan Chao first raised this question.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, but Yuan Xu stood up and took the next step.

"Owner, I have been away from Zhuangzi for more than five months this time. When we came out, it was still freezing cold, and now it's wheat harvest season again. As Yuan Xu spoke, his face could not hide his longing for Chen Zhuang.

"Yes. Five months have passed in the blink of an eye, and we have been wandering in a foreign land for half a year. ”

"I really miss the situation in the village." Yuan Chao's face was also full of yearning for Chen Zhuang.

"But you don't have to be too homesick, I'll tell you a good news, I have decided, starting tomorrow, the whole army will go back to Chenzhuang."

"Let's not give him Xie Lian a long-term job, and we won't give us food money." Yuan Chao said half-jokingly.

Hearing the news that they were going home, everyone had a smile on their faces that couldn't help but be happy.

"Great, I'm going home." Yuan Xu, Zhou Qiang and others all looked at each other, and their faces were full of joy that they were going home. 、

"I'm here today to inform you of the news of your homecoming, and I also want to make arrangements for the way home."

"This time I left Dengzhou and went home, and I asked Wei Hang to give Xie Lian a letter in my name, telling him that we are leaving, and I want him to send someone to station as soon as possible, although there are no bandits now, and I have helped him maintain order, but we have to say hello to Xie Lian if we want to leave." The first thing that Yuan Chao thought of was to hand over the Dengzhou defense.

Then Yuan Chao was thinking about how to go.

"This time, the army will return to Dengzhou together."

"On the road, Yuan Xu's soldiers and horses are the vanguard."

"Yang Hao's soldiers and horses are the queen of the palace."

"Kong Ergou's soldiers and horses are maneuvering back and forth as scouts, left and right."

"The rest of the men and horses are the Chinese army, leading the 1,000 selected soldiers to capture and exchange the ten cannons, as well as the captured more than a dozen cannons back to Chenzhou together."

When everyone heard the deployment of the Yuan Dynasty, even if they went home victoriously, it was a rigorous marching arrangement, and everyone had no complaints, and they all said yes.

As for why the Yuan Dynasty did not calculate the grain, grass, ordnance, and materials in Dengzhou City.

That's because after the Yuan Dynasty occupied Dengzhou, it never stopped to search for Dengzhou's materials, and all the materials found were transported back to Dengzhou, leaving only a small amount of food for Xie Lian to help the victims in the future.

And the Yuan Dynasty also successfully moved and moved such a fortress as Dengzhou to the bottom of the day.

According to incomplete statistics, this time the military rations were more than 5,000 stones, and the silver came to the figure of 40,000 taels, and those military materials were enough to arm a force of two or three thousand people.
