Chapter Seventy-Six: Giving Glory

Zhu Yousong stood on the city wall, looking thoughtfully at the long queue of soldiers passing in front of him.

Zhou Shuye had already sent someone back to pass the word, and Wei Zhongxian, who was careful about his thoughts, not only saw through it at a glance, but also expressed his dissatisfaction.

It seems that I still underestimate the characters of this era too much, and no one is a fool to stand out among so many people and occupy a high position. It's been going so well, and I'm a little flustered. Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong looked at Zhang Hao beside him and asked, "Are you ready?" ”

Zhang Hao was originally concentrating on observing this army, and was annoyed to find that although he was quite satisfied with the Ying'en army he had trained, compared with the army in front of him, he could instantly see the gap. Although these people have shabby military uniforms, the momentum that blows on their faces makes you believe that as long as their commander says a word, they can easily rush up and tear down the opponent.

Hearing Zhu Yousong's question, Zhang Hao came back to his senses and replied: "Don't worry, the prince is in front of the palace, the gentry are waiting there, let's go over too." ”

"Okay, you send someone to inform Cao Wenzhao, I'll go to the palace first."

In front of King Fu's Mansion, the dignitaries and nobles of Luoyang City, as well as the wealthy merchants and gentry, all gathered here. Those who are old and have inconvenient legs and feet also send their family children and grandchildren to come. King Fu asked for soldiers and horses from the imperial court to protect the people of Henan, everyone was happy in their hearts, and under the call of King Xiaofu, the collective reward army came.

In the Chinese army array, Cao Wenzhao listened to the intention of the person in front of him, and said with a hearty smile: "Since this is the case, then I will thank King Fu for his kindness on behalf of the soldiers." After speaking, he turned to the herald beside him and said: "Herald: The blessed king will reward the army, and you can bring everything you want." ”

The herald waved his whip and shouted while riding all the way: "The general has an order, and the king will reward the army, and you can receive what you give." ”

It turned out that Cao Wen's edict was extremely strict in governing the army, and it was absolutely forbidden in the army, and if there was no general order, these soldiers would not dare to receive it even if they were paid to the army.

Cao Wenzhao was a little nervous about the grain and grass, and when he heard that King Fu had rewarded the army, he not only donated a large amount of food, but also had another reward, and he was overjoyed and said: "I want to personally thank the prince, what about Jiao?" Let him go with me. ”

"The little general went away angrily, marched with the vanguard troops, and at this time he was already out of Luoyang City."

Cao Wenzhao sighed helplessly: "This kid." ”

In the huge open space in front of the palace, the gongs and drums are noisy, clothed in red and colorful, and two huge wine tanks are placed in the middle, and the two powerful men carry two wooden barrels from the palace and pour the wine in. The mellow aroma of the wine wafted in the air, and these men who fought in the south and the north all swallowed their saliva.

All the soldiers who walked by could take wine from the jar and fill their own kettles. There are special royal servants next to it, who cut the best cooked meat into pieces, one piece per person.

Wine and meat are secondary, and this kind of respected pride makes every soldier hold their heads high and their hearts moved. After so many years of fighting on the battlefield, seeing countless brothers die in battle, even they themselves feel that their lives are cheaper than others and worthless. They needed this kind of heroic treatment so badly that many had drunk the spirits in their bags and had tears in their eyes.

Riding a horse forward, he waved his hand, the noisy gongs and drums died down, and Zhu Yousong shouted loudly: "Soldiers! You came to suppress the bandits, protect me and wait for everything, I, Zhu Yousong, have thanked you for the people of Henan. ”

Only then did the officers and soldiers know that the handsome young man on the horse in front of them was the little lucky king of Luoyang who gave them glory.

I don't know who started it, and a sentence broke out in the ranks: "Thank you for the wine!" ”

"Thank you for the wine!"

"Thank you for the wine!"

...

The emotions in the hearts of these soldiers were vented, but they became more agitated, and there were already many veterans in tears. It turned out that his struggle was not because his life was cheaper than others, but because he had gained such glory and praise.

Every small battalion passed, and they had to shout in unison, and the masculine voice could be heard throughout Luoyang.

Zhu Yousong was in it, his heart was shaking, and he only felt that the man had been a man once, and his life was in vain. I secretly praised it in my heart: No wonder the leaders of later generations love to hold a military parade, this feels really cool!

Cao Wenzhao, who rushed to thank him, saw this scene, his eyes were complicated, he hesitated for a moment, and finally did not step forward, and silently drove the horse to the side.

After the army of several thousand people passed, Cao Wenzhao took a few personal soldiers and dismounted and hurried. Ji Shou bowed and said: "The last general, Cao Wenzhao, meet the prince." ”

Cao Wenzhao's name, Zhu Yousong had heard of it in his previous life, and when he heard that this person in front of him was, he hurriedly dismounted, helped him up with a single glance, and left a deep impression. The person in front of him has a kind of momentum all over his body, such as the stop of the abyss, such as the holding of Yue, not angry and self-assured, which makes people believe that this is a natural general at a glance.

"The general doesn't have to be polite, speaking of which, I have to thank you for it, a gust of wind plagued Henan, the general worked tirelessly, came to suppress the bandits, and the general was thanked here in this domain."

Cao Wenzhao was moved, he fought all the way to the south and the north, and there were many vassal kings passing by, and most of the princes ignored them. Although Xiaofuwang is small and has a bad reputation, he didn't expect to be able to make such a gesture, willing to take out money and food, and love the people so much, which greatly surprised Cao Wenzhao.

"The prince's kindness, the last general has written it down, the military order is in his body, he doesn't dare to stay for a long time, the last general is one step ahead." Cao Wenzhao hugged his fists and got on the horse, took a few personal soldiers, and rode away.

Zhu Yousong was still heartbroken for a while, and said in a low voice: "I can see this kind of general's demeanor today, it's worth it, it's worth it." ”

As soon as he turned his head, Zhu Yousong saw that Zhang Hao was still looking straight ahead, and he couldn't tell whether he was admiring and envious or slightly ashamed. Zhu Yousong hammered him and said, "Boy, listen well, you must be as good as him in the future." ”

Zhang Hao was pulled back to reality by him, and asked inexplicably: "Awesome?" What do you mean? ”

"Just to be as powerful as him, do you hear clearly?"

"Hear me clearly, I'm going to be better than him!"

“...”

Zhu Yousong walked into the palace, looking forward to it, these military horses will calm down the "gust of wind" soon, don't delay my sweet potato plan. And when this "gust of wind" calms down, I can go to Xuzhou to find my Yingying and father-in-law.

Thinking that he had married his wife who had separated before an hour, and his father-in-law, who was very good to him, Zhu Yousong scolded hatefully: "If it wasn't for this Laoshizi a gust of wind, Lao Tzu would have already taken Ying Ying and his father-in-law to enjoy the blessings, this dog's thief." ”

In the "gust of wind" tent cursed by Zhu Yousong, the spiritual seat engraved with his nickname "Zhu Fuba" was impressively placed in the tent.

Yue Chenfeng sat on the top with a golden sword, and said in a deep voice: "The two military horses of the imperial court are coming, how to deal with the enemy, what do you think?" ”
