Chapter 647: The Battle of Haihuai XXXIX
On the way back to the city with his troops, Ling Xia heard the news of Yingtian's withdrawal of troops, and learned that Yingtian's soldiers had retreated to Huanyu Province, and transferred Hou Junyao and Yingsheji's soldiers and horses to the eastern front.
"Master Horse, we have made such a great contribution this time, what will the court reward us?"
"If you want me to say, with the merits of our horse master, how can we be promoted to a first-class martial arts commander."
"The brothers have opened their eyes this time, and the colt has actually reversed the direction of the battlefield and is convinced."
"The military exploits we have made in this battle are enough to shine in the annals of history, and the whole world is shocked."
Hearing the enthusiastic discussions of the subordinate generals, Ling Xia was also a little happy in his heart, he pressed the joy and excitement in his heart, pretended to have an expression of indifference, and said with a fake modesty: "Low-key and low-key, in fact, I didn't make any great achievements, that is, I destroyed the enemy's materials, killed the enemy's main force, and forced back to win the sky by the way, that's all, nothing else." ”
When Ling Xia and the generals were talking and laughing back, suddenly a team of battle guards came to greet Ling Xia and them, and the leader of the team was Nangong Xiongba, when he saw the soldiers behind Ling Xia who were covered in injuries but full of smiles, his face showed a complicated expression, looking at Ling Xia's joyful expression, Nangong Xiongba sighed:
"When the tide is about to fall, you are worthy of being the first warrior in the world of the emperor's imperial seal. Ling Xia, you forced back the main force of Yingtian and saved the court from fire and water, and now the Yingtian army is defeated and retreats eastward, and Hou Junyao and Yingsheji, who surrounded the war zone, also evacuated the war zone. ”
Hearing that the emperor asked Nangong Xiongba to send three hundred miles out of the city to greet him, Yue Qianfeng, Ji Mo and the others all showed a trace of shocked expressions, the emperor had never heard of this kind of honor given to Ling Xia before, although I didn't know how the emperor would reward Ling Xia? But judging from the posture in front of him alone, Ling Xia will definitely receive a great reward this time.
Maybe it is really possible that he will be canonized as a Zhengyipin martial commander, if that is the case, then Ling Xia is the youngest Zhengyipin martial arts commander since the founding of the Xia Dynasty. Ling Xia naturally thought of these things that others thought of, and seeing the expression of admiration in Nangong Xiongba's eyes, Ling Xia smiled and humbly conceded, and the two of them were polite, and together they led their troops towards Xixiu Province.
After two days of hurrying and hurrying, two days later in the evening, Ling Xia and they finally returned to the city of Xixiu Province, since Hou Junyao and Ying Sheji retreated, Si Qikong led his troops to recapture Xixiu Province, because the Purple Turban Army was assembling in the Eastern Theater, in order to prevent changes there, the imperial court ordered Si Qikong to lead three million soldiers to the first theater of war to deploy, and this place was handed over to Nangong Xiongba.
At this time, there are more than two million soldiers left in Xixiu Province, these are the old roots of Nangong Xiongba, Ruan Moxuan and Pan Futian and other generals have led two million soldiers and horses back to defend Mohai Province, and now the crisis in the imperial court has been lifted, and the battle guards can finally relax, after Ling Xia's team entered the city, Nangong Xiongba immediately ordered someone to set up a flowing water seat, and conveyed the emperor's will to reward the three armies.
Seeing the delicacies and sweet liquor on the feast, the soldiers had long been hungry, and finally got to Nangong Xiongba after reading out the will of the troops, and heard Nangong Xiongba say, "You can eat," Luo Boss They immediately picked up the wine jar and feasted, seeing that the soldiers below had already opened the banquet, Nangong Xiongba entertained Ling Xia and others to take a seat.
No one noticed that just as Ling Xia and the others were drinking and tasting food, a team of nearly a thousand people quietly appeared outside the city wall of Xixiu Province.
