Chapter 47: The Yan Emperor welcomes ten miles
Seeing that the Great Yan Army was so prestigious, coupled with the battle reports from all sides, the Beirong and Hanfeng armies had no choice but to return in disgrace.
Today's competition, although I didn't expect such an ending in advance, I am willing to gamble and lose.
Contrary to the dull atmosphere of the two armies in the north, the Great Yan Army in the south was elated and rejoiced.
However, not everyone was so happy, Qin Tian and the young people were relatively calm, as if all this was as it should be.
Especially the hundred miles of long wind, his face was gloomy, although he could be regarded as avenging his war horse, but his heart was still extremely sad.
With Sima Lelin here, it is definitely not a problem to find a good horse for him, but the lost feelings are real, and the war horse is not only a war horse, but also his partner. Seeing him like this, Qin Tian didn't comfort him too much, patted him on the shoulder, and then led everyone back to the camp.
Prince Yue was also extremely surprised by their performance today, others didn't know the details of these teenagers, but he knew.
These teenagers were all selected and cultivated by Qin Tian more than a year ago, and before Qin Tian selected and cultivated them, they were just ordinary teenagers, and they were not more than fifteen years old when they were selected, and now, for more than a year, they are only fifteen or sixteen years old.
After just over a year of training, it is too unexpected that at such a young age, you can win the three armies. From Prince Yue to ordinary soldiers of the Tiger Wei Army, their attitude towards Qin Tian and the young men and the Flame Army was immediately completely different.
After Qin Tian and Prince Yue had a brief chat, he refused Prince Yue's other banquets and returned to the Flame Army camp. Although Qin Tian also knew that if he could be like a fish in water in officialdom, it would definitely be of great benefit to him, but his nature was not good at this, and it was really difficult to improve, and Mr. had also warned him that this was a great weakness of his, and he needed to pay more attention in the future. Even if you are not good at this, you must not be too rigid and hurt others and yourself, and you must keep in mind the truth that if you are too rigid, it is easy to break.
Therefore, Qin Tian generally doesn't like to interact too much with those princes and ministers, and has little contact, although he can't get closer, but he should have fewer chances to offend people. Of course, Qin Tian didn't particularly care about this.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two days have passed, and the long-silent northern battlefield has moved again, but this time it is not a battle, but a retreat.
The two major armies of Beirong and Hanfeng withdrew their troops at the same time. It should be that the Eight-Nation Alliance is no longer profitable, and with the deterrence of several border battle reports in Dayan, they finally decided to withdraw their troops.
Comparatively speaking, although their two armies withdrew the latest, the casualties were the smallest, except for the Hanfeng fierce general who angered the hundred miles of wind and was executed by Ling Chi, there were no other losses. Of course, with such a large-scale corps dispatched, it is unknown whether there were any sick and exhausted people on the way.
Seeing that the two armies had withdrawn their troops in a mighty manner, a boulder that was pressing on the hearts of Prince Yue and the soldiers of the Huwei Army was finally moved away. There was a feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds, and the whole army breathed a long sigh of relief, the northern border, peaceful, they were safe.
After the enemy army withdrew, Qin Tian also resigned to Prince Yue and led the Flame Army to prepare to return to the imperial city.
Prince Yue and the generals sent them off warmly, although they only got along for a few days, but the Flame Army left an extremely deep impression on them. Seeing the flame army far away, everyone was also embarrassed in their hearts, and their thoughts were different.
The unprecedented crisis of Great Yan has now been completely lifted, and now the initiative of the war is basically in the hands of Great Yan, and Qin Tian is also rarely relaxed.
Intense study, hard training, and constant battles are indeed a bit more stressful for a teenager who is not yet seventeen years old.
Therefore, on this return journey, the Flame Army marched extremely slowly, it was already so slow that it was similar to the speed of ordinary troops, from the northern border to the Imperial City, about two thousand miles, and they traveled for half a month.
The weather had gradually cooled, and on the last day of the trip, it was drizzling. The north wind of late autumn, wrapped in a misty drizzle, blows on the face, and it is indeed a little chilly.
However, outside the north gate of the imperial city, at the ten-mile long pavilion, there is a person, standing in the wind, as stable as Mount Tai.
He didn't have an umbrella or a robe, so he let the wind and rain blow on his face, but his face was filled with excitement and pride that could not be concealed.
Behind him, there was a vast crowd of people, civil and military officials, impressively in the ranks, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
In the distance, I heard the sound of horses' hooves. Gradually, the figure of the Flaming Tiger jumped into view.
The man strode forward, in the direction of the Flame Army's return. Qin Tian saw the person coming clearly, and he also hurriedly jumped off the tiger's back and walked forward quickly.
"Brother!"
"Virtuous brother!"
These two brothers, who are not related by blood at all and have a tenage difference, hugged each other tightly. There are no words, and there is no need to say much, the communication of men, a strong bear hug, has said it all.
The Flame Army, camped on the spot, rested in place, and naturally had someone send it to them, only the young men entered the city with Qin Tian.
Surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials, Qin Tian and Emperor Yan walked side by side towards the palace.
Today, the Flame Army returned triumphantly, and Emperor Yan personally went out of the city ten miles to greet him, and this celebration banquet could not be shirked no matter what.
Today is different from the past, Qin Tian and Emperor Yan walked side by side, although there were still many ministers who were difficult to accept, but after all, it was the King of Yan himself, and it did relieve the unprecedented huge crisis of Great Yan, which was indispensable.
Therefore, no one will raise any objections again, after all, such a good atmosphere, if anyone jumps out to stir up, it will not be too ignorant of the style and will kill themselves.
Being able to hold such a large-scale celebration banquet in the palace is really the first time since Emperor Yan succeeded to the throne.
During the banquet, the prince led several princes to toast Qin Tian together, and Emperor Yan also intended to let the prince worship Qin Tian as a teacher, hoping that Qin Tian would be able to give him more guidance in the future, and the prince was also extremely humble and respectful.
But Qin Tian said that the responsibility of the teacher, he is really competent, if he wants to apprentice, he still has to go to the academy master. But if the prince had anything to discuss with him, he would know everything.
In this regard, Emperor Yan did not force it, but only asked the crown prince and the princes to learn from the king of war with an open mind, and work hard for the stability of Great Yan and the world in the future. And emphasized to them that the king of war was his brother who had died, and he was the most credible person, and they must respect the king of war well, and this respect should even exceed the respect for him Emperor Yan himself, and the prince and the princes obeyed him respectfully.
