Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Different Celebration

Welcoming the triumphant return of the army is something that often happens in Chang'an City.

Every big victory is a grand ceremony for the Han people.

If it was just a big victory, it would not be enough to rejoice the well-informed and almost numb Chang'an people who were victorious.

This time was different, when Huo Qu came back from illness, he not only brought back the heads of the Huns, but also brought back the Hun Evil King, brought back the Hun slaves, and brought back the Tianjin people who sacrificed to the heavens in the hometown of King Xiutu in Hexi.

Victory belongs to the warriors, glory belongs to the emperor, the people who sacrifice to the heavens and gold belong to the ancestors of the Han Kingdom, and the Huns and cattle and sheep ...... It belongs to countless Han people.

In the past, victory had little to do with the people, and after the glorious moment was celebrated, it was over, and the people still needed to run for their lives, and victory was like a wind, a rain, which came naturally and went quickly.

Therefore, when Huo Quzhi rode into Chang'an City under the guidance of the officials of Honglu Temple, the people cheered violently.

Countless fruits, food was fed by the people to the neatly dressed army, Huo Qubing was the target of people's attention, the fruits were so densely lost that there was a cyan pear stuck in the iron thorn on his shoulder.

Huo Quzhi took the pear from the spike and took a bite, and said to Zhao Ponu behind him: "Nothing new." ”

Zhao Ponu laughed and said: "What can be new, people have left more enthusiasm to the Evil King." ”

Huo Quzhi nodded and said: "That's the truth, although the glory is good, it is not as good as the real benefits, my Han people are so real." ”

Xie Ning was a little impatient and wanted to urge the army to go faster, but the road was crowded with people and could not speed up.

He urged the war horse to come to Huo Quai's side and Zhao Ponu and said, "Finish it early, Ah Xiang, Ah Lang is still waiting for us in Chunfeng Tower to catch the wind." ”

Zhao Ponu touched his thick beard and smiled lewdly: "Are you still interested in women?" ”

Xie Ning smiled: "Except for my wives, I still have some thoughts about others." ”

Huo Quzhi threw away the pear core and wiped his mouth casually: "Your Majesty is waiting for us in Weiyang Palace, and after Your Majesty finishes reviewing the army, we will be free."

Warn the evil king that at this time, he must restrain his people, make sure that there are no feathered arrows in their quiver, the people like to touch the Huns, they must give Ye Ye to endure, dare to be bad, Ye Ye is not impossible to use a knife in the market! ”

Zhao Ponu shook his head and said: "If you can, don't kill it, there are too many people on the road, Ah Xiang already has an opinion, saying that what we kill is not people at all, but money!"

It is also said that the fiercer the Hun warriors who resisted, the more they could sell for a good price...... Isn't the more docile the slave, the better? I don't know why the appetite of Chang'an people has become so strange. ”

Xie Ning sneered: "Zhang Lian is playing a game, I heard that a Great Qin person is presiding, at the beginning it was just a slave fighting with a slave, I heard that now we have begun to get some wolves, leopards, bears, tigers, and white sheep in the mountains around us, ready to let slaves fight with beasts." ”

Huo Quzhi frowned and said, "These people are playing too much. ”

Zhao Ponu smiled: "They are all worthless slaves, it's not a big deal." ”

Huo Quzhi sighed and said, "We don't participate." ”

"Why not get involved? I heard Zhang Lian say that the profits are huge, as long as the opening is open, there will be a sea of people, and the ladies especially like it. ”

Zhao Ponu was a little disappointed, Huo Qubing didn't like it, which meant that he couldn't do what he had planned a long time ago.

A heavy watermelon was thrown down from the tall building with the wind, and Huo Quai, who was reprimanding Zhao Ponu, reached out and grabbed the watermelon steadily, and threw it to Zhao Ponu and said: "Arrest the people upstairs and put them in the barracks in the name of the commander of the sneak attack army." ”

Zhao Ponu looked up at Cao Xiang's arrogant and hateful face upstairs and said to Huo Quzhi: "You can't catch it, if you catch it, you will rely on us." ”

Huo Guang snatched the watermelon from Zhao Ponu's hand and threw it upstairs.

Cao Xiang caught the watermelon, but his chest hurt when he was hit by this thing, so he took two steps back and sat on the edge of Yunlang, put the watermelon on the table and said, "The physical strength is still good." ”

Yun Lang's attention was not on Huo Quai's few of them, as long as they seemed safe, it was enough.

He focused more on the dejected Huns who walked in the middle of the army.

As soon as they walked into Chang'an City, they were greeted with louder cheers.

Some people crossed the Han soldiers, grabbed the Huns they fancied and put their hands on them, and some even opened people's mouths to look at their teeth.

The Huns were enraged, and were about to make a move, but the Han soldiers on both sides firmly sandwiched him in the middle, and controlled both hands and could not play.

The Huns who can be selected to be inspected by the emperor are considered to be more docile among the Huns, and their appearance is also good-looking, and when they entered Chang'an, they seem to have been washed once, that is, the sheepskin jacket and messy hair are still maintained, which is a little bit of the shadow of the Huns.

There was a lot of noise downstairs.

"This group of Huns is good, very strong, it seems that the price will not be low......"

"Good goods are worth a lot of money, so they can be used for a long time, it makes sense to get what you pay for, but I don't know when these people will sell it?"

"You don't have to think about these goods, I heard that these people are all presented to Your Majesty by the hussar general.

All the goods we want are in Crouching Tiger. ”

"Your Majesty wants to release the life?"

"I don't know, Your Majesty is merciful, and you always have to give people a way to live......"

"Nonsense, it's all the Huns......"

Listening to the chaotic sound downstairs, Yun Lang felt that Chang'an was full of slave traders.

The team of the Evil King of Hun came, and the one who rode at the front was the King of Hun Evil on horseback.

Yun Lang had seen this evil king on the battlefield, and at that time, this guy should still be a general.

When he rode in a chariot to launch a desperate assault on these people, they were still alive, fierce and cruel......

Now, they all seem to be dead, even if the evil king is trying to straighten his chest, in Yun Lang's eyes, he is not much different from those Xiongnu slaves who have been speculated by Han slave traders to be fat and thin.

The former crown prince of the Xiongnu, King Zuoxian, the Marquis of She'an of the Han Dynasty, took his last breath in the Yeting Palace two years ago.

This made the emperor very dissatisfied, and for this reason, he also disposed of more than a dozen embroidered messengers who were in charge of Yu Shan.

It's just that after being castrated, Yu Shan has long been bored, drinking all day long, and finally died drunk in a dilapidated room in the Yeting Palace.

Yun Lang wasn't sure how long this evil king would live in the Great Han Kingdom, anyway, it was difficult for a Xiongnu nobleman like him to live long after leaving the grassland.

There will not be too many troops and Huns who can enter Chang'an City, and it will not take much effort, and the queue has already passed through the Chunfeng Tower.

The surging crowd followed the team to the location of Weiyang Palace.

Yun Lang, Cao Xiang, Huo Guang, and Zhang Anshi also got in the carriage and went to Weiyang Palace.

When they arrived at Weiyang Palace, Liu Che had just appeared on the tall palace wall of Weiyang Palace, and Liu Che, crowned by the Son of Heaven, looked more like a god than a person.

When Huo Qu got sick and knelt down on one knee and shouted that the hussar general had been ordered to return to Beijing, everyone under the palace wall knelt on one knee, even Yun Lang, Cao Xiang, and Li Cai, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty who came to watch the ceremony, were no exception.

"Flat!"

Liu Che's voice is not very loud, but there are countless eunuchs with loud voices, who use their sharp voices to spread the emperor's grace in all directions.

"The whole army has returned, I am very relieved, the general has worked hard, I remember it in my heart, the soldiers are brave, I am happy, and now, the merit has been paid, and the reward rate of the three armies is inevitable.

Step aside! ”

After Liu Che said these words, he left the palace wall amid the overwhelming sound of His Majesty's thousands of prayers.

Then, the palace door was opened, and Prime Minister Li Cai held the emperor's decree to name the meritorious ministers in the army to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

Seeing Huo Quai, Li Kang, Zhao Ponu, Xie Ning, the Evil King and a cavalry commander and soldiers walked into the imperial city, Cao Xiang sighed and said, "The husband should be like this." ”

Yun Lang looked at Cao Xiang strangely and said, "It has nothing to do with you in the future." ”

Cao Xiang said with some loss: "It would be nice if my courage could be bigger, after all, no merit can be greater than military merit." ”

"Military achievements are outstanding for a while, and if you get the rich city well, you will be able to be prominent for a lifetime."

Cao Xiangba clicked his mouth and said, "This guy is sick." And Li Dang them...... Damn, and those guys who rode the captains...... Alang, when do you think we will have such glory? ”

"When Fuguicheng can support the needs of the whole Han country, it will be almost there."

"I think it's a little hard."

"Think about it, is it difficult to get sick during the Battle of the River Meander?"

"Oh, that's hard......"
