I finally finished the first volume, so hard! It turns out that coding words is such a hard work. Please support all brothers and sisters!! )
***********
Just as Zhang Yunwen rarely returned to the reconnaissance camp to train the soldiers, a guard equipped with a thousand cattle knives came to the reconnaissance camp.
"General Zhang, Your Highness is invited!" The guard Zhang Yunwen looked at it and asked, "This guard brother, why haven't I seen you by His Highness's side!" ”
The guard clenched his fists and said, "General Zhang is polite!" The villain is a guard in the Chang'an Palace, and the father-in-law who announced the decree only arrived here yesterday, of course General Zhang has never seen the villain! ”
Zhang Yunwen said "oh" and said to Li Yang, Zhao Yi and the others: "A few of you remember to urge the soldiers to practice well, and don't slack off." Of course, as a team leader, if you can't even compare to a soldier, then you can directly go down to me as a soldier. After speaking, he looked at the team mates who covered their mouths and snickered, "You are the same!" ”
After speaking, he said to the guard, "Let's go!" ”
The two came to the palace, and on top of a side hall, gathered Li Shimin's subordinates. Of course, the officials who were sent out to take over Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande's territory were not here.
"My father has ordered us to leave for Chang'an and sacrifice the Taimiao, I think you already know. I have summoned you here today to discuss the aftermath of Henan and Hebei. Li Shimin sat on a chair and said with a faint worry on his face.
Qu Tutong, a veteran under the account, took the lead and said: "Now the land of Henan has been calmed down, but Hebei and Shandong are Dou Jiande's hometown, and in the battle of Tiger Prison, the 50,000 soldiers were all put back, if Hebei and Shandong rebel again, it will be difficult to exterminate." The old minister is willing to stay in Luoyang and sit in Henan! ”
Li Shimin suddenly smiled slightly: "Qu Tuguo Gong works hard for the country, and he is willing to sit in Luoyang alone, which is to make me admire." In this way, I will select some civil and military generals to stay in Luoyang and assist the Guogong! ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Qu Tutong said.
After Li Shimin signaled that he didn't have to, he stood up: "Pass my commander's order, the whole army, 10,000 cavalry, 30,000 foot soldiers, return to Chang'an with this commander, escort Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and his henchmen, and sacrifice Taimiao." ”
"Whoa!" Wenwu got up and shook at the same time.
Zhang Yunwen, who knew that he was going to return to Chang'an, was suddenly a little entangled. What he is not worried about is his two elder brothers. If they go to Chang'an by themselves, and these two people continue to stay in Luoyang, thousands of miles apart, how can they take care of each other.
When they returned home and talked to the Liu brothers, the two of them immediately shouted to go to Chang'an.
"But you are not ** now, you can't walk with the big army, if you are separated, I don't feel at ease......" Before Zhang Yunwen finished speaking, the Liu brothers took the lead and said: "Aren't you a general, the third child, just take us and the horse face into it!" ”
Zhang Yunwen suddenly hesitated, and said for a while: "The training of my reconnaissance battalion is much more difficult than that of other barracks, can you do it?" ”
The Liu brothers immediately patted their chests and said: "Don't worry, our brother has learned more than ten years of knife skills from my father, but he is a first-class master." Look at the horse's face again, not to mention that guy's archery skills, he can shoot a fly a hundred feet away. Well, the third child, you just let us go! ”
Zhang Yunwen was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that this Ma Wangshan, whose face was longer than the horse, still had such a hand, why didn't he know it before. Well, if possible, train him to be a sniper, pick up a sniper crossbow, and kill enemy generals from a distance.
But what about the two brothers Liu Yong and Liu Wu? Alas, no matter what, go to the reconnaissance camp to try for a few days, if not, come back!
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Yunwen took the Liu brothers and Ma Wangshan to the reconnaissance camp, and let the Liu brothers become his personal guards, while Ma Wangshan joined Liu Cheng's team and asked Liu Cheng to train him.
On the second day, the flags were displayed in Luoyang City, and the soldiers of each battalion were busy preparing before leaving.
Li Shimin called Zhang Yunwen over, and after telling him about intelligence, he asked him to leave half of the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion in Luoyang.
Zhang Yunwen had no choice but to let Li Yang stay in Luoyang with a hundred people, including Xiao Jiang's team, and told Li Yang to lead the team well, if the performance was outstanding, all the hundred people would be brought by him in the future. Li Yang was moved on the spot, and said that he must listen to Qu Tutong's words, and he will train these 100 people into an elite soldier.
Zhang Yunwen took the remaining seventy or eighty people, including the Liu brothers, followed Li Shimin's Xuanjia team and drove all the way out of Luoyang City. It's a pity that Zhang Yunwen's mansion hasn't lived for a few days, so he patted his ass and left Luoyang, and he doesn't know when he can come back to live again.
So Liu Yong carefully kept the thin deed, and Liu Wu wanted to fight for the custody of the deed, but he couldn't match Liu Yong's fist and unfortunately lost.
All the way, 40,000 horses, carrying dozens of prisoner cars, stretched for several miles, and gradually left Luoyang.
Luoyang to Chang'an, the carriage and horses are sparkling, and it takes half a month to arrive. A cadre is a veteran of a long battle, and he is familiar with the road when it comes to marching.
It's boring, but it's good to see the scenery along the way.
Along the way, Cheng Yanjin often dragged Qin Qiong to Zhang Yunwen's camp, saying that he was chatting with him, but most of them were talking to the Liu brothers, and between the words, he laughed and was actually happy.
Although the Liu brothers are muddy, they also know that this Cheng Jin is a general, and the Qin King's cronies are also willing to talk to him.
Seeing that Zhang Yunwen often shook his head helplessly, and then slipped out of the camp tent to find his master Wei Chigong to learn how to use the long lance.
The days passed slowly during this march. Half a month later, I have arrived at Bashui, and I will be in Chang'an.
It is said that in ancient Roman times, the moment the triumphant hero stepped into his city-state, there would be countless maidens on both sides of the street to sprinkle flower petals on the hero and his soldiers, offering fragrant kisses, I wonder if His Royal Highness King Qin will have this effect when he enters the city. Zhang Yunwen thought to himself secretly.
As soon as the army crossed the Baqiao, Chang'an rode over and reported to the King of Qin that the crown prince Jiancheng was greeting the triumphant soldiers at the south gate, and asked the army to go to the south gate, and enter through the south gate, along the Vermilion Bird Street north to the palace, along the way there will be countless onlookers watching this army and his prisoners of war.
So the army went to the south gate.
As soon as I arrived at the Suzaku Gate, I saw a guard dressed in bright light armor at the gate of the city. This is the left and right clearing rate among the six rates of the East Palace. The crown prince was built, dressed in a yellow robe, riding on a big horse, watching the arrival of the procession.
Li Shimin walked in front with more than 20 generals under his tent, while Zhang Yunwen and generals of his level walked behind the more than 20 people, and then there were all black-clad Xuanjia teams and reconnaissance battalions, and the prisoner cars lined up were behind the Xuanjia team and reconnaissance battalions.
Seeing Li Shimin's triumph, Li Jiancheng showed a reluctant smile on his face, patted his horse to greet him, and said to Li Shimin: "Congratulations to the second brother for his great achievements!" As he spoke, he glanced at the general behind Li Shimin with jealousy. Well, Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche were removed, and there were Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Wei Chigong, Xu Shiji, Qiu Xinggong, Wang Junkuo, Guo Xiaoke and others, and famous generals gathered. If he can collect all the accounts, then his position as the crown prince will be so secure. Li Jiancheng has some fantasies.
"Brother Shimin, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" Li Shimin clenched his fists first and half-knelt on the ground. And behind him, tens of thousands of soldiers also knelt on the ground like waves.
Zhang Yunwen raised his head and secretly glanced at the hidden prince in history. is about 20 years old, and he is also a handsome guy. Come to think of it, Li Yuan is a handsome guy, Queen Dou is a beauty, and the children born are of course outstanding.
"Second brother, get up quickly, and all the soldiers get up! You are meritorious people, how can you bear it when you kneel like this! Li Jiancheng looked frightened, and quickly helped Li Shimin and those generals. The remaining soldiers took advantage of the situation to stand up.
Then, Li Jiancheng blocked the door of Suzaku and spoke to the 40,000 soldiers with words of greeting, praise, and loyalty, so that the 40,000 people were scorched under the scorching sun for three quarters of an hour. Seeing that the soldiers began to take off the helmets on their heads, he stopped his mouth, led the way in front, and stepped into Chang'an City with all the soldiers.
Zhang Yunwen was mixed in the flow of people, looked at the tall Chang'an city wall in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly say to himself: "Chang'an, I'm here!" ”
