The snow fell without a trace, and the wind calmed down. When another round of snow finally stopped falling, the grassy land where the Yellow River flows through the grassland finally ushered in another grand carnival after being occupied by the Han army.

It was a real. Beacons, killings, blood, deaths, conspiracies, worries...... All of this is gone for a while, and now everyone's face is filled with nothing but joy and glory.

The people who came from Chang'an all the way to the starry night finally let go of the big stone in their hearts and left the burden that no one wanted to bear far behind. How nice that is! Only the celebration of victory and the reward of honor, and the laughter on the faces of the soldiers should be what it should look like at this time.

As for the death of the prince in Chang'an City, who still remembers him in this far northern frontier! Death is death, since it has nothing to do with the little marquis of Changle that everyone likes, and no one needs to be embarrassed about it, then you can forget a certain intention of His Majesty the Emperor first. Rewarding the three armies is what everyone likes to do!

The change in mood and atmosphere began with the real meeting of Yuan Zhao. When the crown prince Liu Ju and the prime minister Sun Hong and a large group of people came to the back camp under the personal guidance of Wei Qing, and saw this person who had become the idol of countless soldiers in the army, he was busy selecting a large number of various ingredients, humming an unknown song in his mouth, and his expression was leisurely.

He was joined by Cui Hong, Xiaoice, Nie Sheng, and the teenager Park Yongyeol. Under his command, they were carrying, washing, cutting into pieces, lighting fires, slaughtering cattle and sheep...... Dozens of cauldrons slipped away, the flames began to rise, the hot water waves were churning, and they were accustomed to swords and slash the hands of the enemy, and they were skillfully doing these chores, laughing and playing with each other, and they were actually full of interest.

Seeing the scene in front of them, Li Dang and Li Guang's father and son glanced at each other, and Prime Minister Sun Hong and Feng Yanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. And the crown prince Liu Ju almost blurted out at the same time as he was at peace in his heart, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and felt that his already nervous throat was a little dry all the way.

As if he had already predicted the arrival of Chang'an's distinguished guests, when he heard the footsteps behind him, the figure who was preparing the seasoning according to his own method turned his head, and the smile on his face was extremely bright. The Great Han Shang Shuling, the Great Sima, and the Changle Hou Yuanzhao who took off their battle armor are not yet seventeen years old this year, and they look like the boys next door at this time.

"The crown prince, the prime minister of Gongsun, Feng Lao, General Li...... Don't come unharmed? The journey has been hard, Yuan Zhao has never been far away, there are many slackness, and he apologizes in person! Hehe! ”

Yuan Zhao put down the things in his hand, arched his hand calmly, and treated the old man like a spring breeze, and he could no longer see a trace of sharpness and grandeur on this face.

To everyone's surprise, Liu Ju, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, did not say those polite words according to the etiquette system, he took two steps forward, stretched out his arm and hugged Yuan Zhao, like a real brother who had not seen him for many years, and whispered in his ear that only two people could hear clearly.

"Brother Yuan, I, I'm finally relieved!"

The crown prince is two years younger than Yuan Zhao, but he is already very tall, which is related to his uncle and mother, who are both slender people. Yuan Zhao was a head shorter than him, and he helplessly stretched out his arm and hugged him, with a slight sigh in his heart, the sincerity in Liu Ju's tone was worried, of course he could hear it, the temperament of the prince of the dynasty inherited the generosity of the Wei family sisters and brothers, and he was very affectionate. This is of course a precious quality for ordinary people. But being born in the family of the emperor and embarking on the road that is destined to be sword light and power is a fatal flaw!

"On behalf of the Son of Heaven, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can personally come to this snowy place to express his condolences to the three armies, which is already a great honor for all the soldiers on the front line. Hehe! Yuan Zhao also thanked them again! ”

Yuan Zhao patted him lightly on the arm, took a step back, and said a word loudly to everyone. It's good to keep some words and some emotions hidden in your heart, and you don't have to express them so easily. There is still a long way to go, and I will naturally repay him for this friendship.

"Hmmm! Yes, my father asked us to come this time to reward all the soldiers of the three armies! Yuanhou, you don't know how happy the father and the ministers were when this time a major victory was passed into the Weiyang Palace! Haha, the prime minister is here, he can testify to how jubilant the people of Chang'an are! ”

Liu Ju suppressed the emotions in his heart, all his worries ran out of the clouds, and his expression became excited. When the people behind saw that the prince was so frank and honest, they also felt that he was easy-going and funny, and they couldn't help laughing. Prime Minister Gongsun Hong and Feng Yanzhi and others also greeted Yuan Zhao one after another, and everyone gathered around him, Gongsun Hong twisted his beard and couldn't stop nodding.

"Yes, yes, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is not wrong at all. The great victory in the Henan Campaign really shook the world. Kill the king, open up the territory and expand the territory, the power of my Han army has reached such a strong point. The old man never thought that he could still hear such news in his ancient years, and it was really amazing that this old body could still set foot on the land of this grassland! You young people are really terrifying. Ha ha! ”

Hearing his praise like this, Yuan Zhao, Wei Qing and others hurriedly thanked them a few words, expressing their shame. Although this old man is sometimes chicken-bellied, after all, he is a Han scribe who grew up reading sage books, and the righteousness of the family and the country can still be distinguished. There is no doubt about the sincerity of safeguarding the Han family.

The rest of the people also congratulated each other a few words, Prime Minister Sun Hong read out the emperor's commendation in public, and the generals cheered in unison, long live the mountain. Although there is no specific title mentioned here, the fact that the emperor can send the crown prince and the prime minister to personally reward the army is enough to explain a lot of problems. When the garrison here is arranged, the day when the class teacher returns to the dynasty will be the time to be crowned a marquis.

In order to reassure everyone, Gongsun Hong has already revealed a lot of information openly and secretly. His Majesty the Emperor has ordered Yousi to properly evaluate the merits of this time, and the predetermined rewards are beyond the usual practice, and the rewards will be more generous than everyone imagined.

The man is determined to be famous, but he takes it right away! With the sword as a weapon, with his own ability, the battlefield is bloody, the flag is beheaded, and the marquis is immediately sealed, these are the supreme honors.

Everyone's hearts are hot, let's not talk about others, according to this standard, these captains in the Black Eagle Army can rely on their own combat exploits to make a Hou Ye dang this time. It seems that a large number of generals with the name of the marquis will appear in the army soon!

Under the domination of such emotions, how can it be justified without a hearty celebration? Although the laws and regulations in the Han army are very strict, and all the accompanying military commanders will also take strict military discipline, it is generally difficult for a general to dare to be so casual in the army. But now it is Yuan Zhao who is sitting here, and in the face of these victories on the northern frontier front dominated by him, Sima in any army obediently closed his mouth and did not dare to point fingers arbitrarily. The little marquis said to do what he did well, facts speak louder than words, listening to his command is not only easy but also able to win the battle, has become a consensus of both the Black Eagle Army and the soldiers of the Northern Frontier Army.

The reward from the emperor was distributed to each soldier. This is just a reward that comes with the army, and the rewards for meritorious deeds will of course be heavier later. The imperial court is not short of money now, and what it lacks is this kind of hunting heroism.

The sunset of the long river, the lonely smoke of the desert, the earth reflected by the remnant sun after the snow is like a blood-stained demeanor, and the flat grassland that cannot be seen at a glance is particularly pride in people's hearts.

When the Han army camp near and far was full of laughter. On the waterfront, where the Huns once gathered their soldiers and horses to the south, an unprecedented grand celebration began.

Nie Sheng looked at the scene in front of him excitedly, and the commander kept transporting drinks here, he felt a little regretful, why didn't he practice martial arts in the first place? How nice it would be if I could join them, such a moment of glory is the dream of every man.

The lieutenant generals and colonels all gathered here to enjoy the sumptuous delicacies specially prepared for them by Hou Yuanzhao of Changle. The things made by the hands of the little marquis are of course different. In addition to all kinds of meat, barbecue game, and cheese products, the main dish prepared by Yuan Zhao today is to "eat hot pot" together.

The big mouthful of the marching pot was lined up in a slippery manner. Using the ingredients he had prepared long ago as the base of the pot, the fresh meat was cut to the right thickness, plus the fungus, bracken, and various wild vegetables collected from the grassland, and the various ingredients prepared were piled up like a small mountain. In such a season, it is the best choice for everyone to gather around and eat "hot pot".

These soldiers in the army, where have they ever seen such a way of eating, seeing the tempting fragrance of all kinds of food tumbling up and down in the cauldron, Gongsun Rongnu and others have nowhere to start with their respective ceramic bowls in their hands, and they don't know how to eat appropriately.

Looking at their clumsiness, Captain Huo, who had already eaten countless times with his master on Changle Plateau, pursed his lips disdainfully and said hello, learn a little hard, don't be like a bun. Then, put the sauce in your own small bowl, go to the boiling cauldron and put a few slices of yellow mutton and bracken, and gently put it in your mouth, a hot and spicy fragrance is refreshing.

She actually wanted to feast very much, but in her heart, she firmly remembered the master's teachings, even if she didn't have an image in her own home, she had to learn to be elegant when eating out. Well, it's elegant, don't be like those guys, holding a bowl bigger than a human head, once you taste it, your eyes are red, and you can't stop gobbling it up!

"What a bunch of dirt buns! Master is absolutely right, when we go home, we will start to learn to live a delicate life, and we must not be like these guys...... ”

Holding the small bowl in his hand, he turned his head to look at the figure of Master Yuan Zhao talking to Prime Minister Sun Hong. Huo Quai, the youngest captain of the Black Eagle Army, who broke through 10,000 horses and captured the king alone, bent the corners of his eyebrows into a crescent moon, although he was still dressed like all the soldiers, but the touch of style that disappeared in a flash, deeply hidden, was so different!
