Chapter 199: Catching the Wind
When they left Xiangzhou, Li Gengyun and his party only had three people, but only two days later, the guards of Xiangzhou Lingdu actually saw someone with a mighty 3,000 men and horses entering the boundary of Xiangzhou, which immediately caused panic among the guards and hurriedly called on the generals guarding the city.
After the guard saw that it was Li Gengyun leading the team, he laughed loudly, and hurriedly opened the city gate, and slapped Li Gengyun at them, so flattering.
Li Gengyun took everyone to stay in Lingdu for one night, on the other hand, he asked Lin Sen to report to Zhao Zhen and Fang Tong the news that they were going to return to Xiangyang City with three thousand elites, and he would take people to set off the next day.
From Lingdu to Xiangyang, Li Gengyun took 3,000 men and horses all the way unimpeded, and after another four days, he had already arrived in Xiangyang City.
The news that Li Gengyun was going to return to Xiangyang in the near future had already spread throughout Xiangyang City, and those who knew him and those who didn't know him were guarding the city gate to watch the excitement, and before he was about to arrive in Xiangyang City, he also specially sent a soldier with good foot strength to report to Xiangyang City, telling Zhao Zhen that they would soon arrive in Xiangyang City.
"Are you coming?!"
Zhao Zhen got the news of the advance personnel in the palace, and knew that Li Gengyun and they were about to arrive in Xiangyang City, so he was also very happy, and ordered Xiangrui: "Hurry!" Come with me to meet Mr. Lee! ”
"By the way, call Miss Lin and let her come with us!"
"Yes!"
Although Xiangrui was full of unwillingness, she was helpless, she went to inform Lin Wanyu according to Zhao Zhen's instructions, and then took Lin Wanyu and Zhao Zhen to the south gate of Xiangyang City to wait for Li Gengyun's army to arrive.
Zhao Zhen and the others were accompanied by the general Fang Tong and his son Fang Quan, as well as the pioneer He Jin and another pioneer Zhao Ziyi in the army. Of course, Guo Feng, as a military advisor, and several other military advisors in the army also came to greet Li Gengyun's triumph. The scale of this greeting can be described as quite huge, and almost all the officials in Xiangyang City have already arrived, and they are all waiting for Li Gengyun to lead the 3,000 army back.
Li Gengyun marched with Bai Luojun and them, he didn't expect Zhao Zhen to arrange such a large-scale welcome ceremony, and he didn't know the situation at the south gate now.
When their 3,000 men entered the boundary of the south gate of Xiangyang, they found that the south gate was already full of people who came to greet them, led by Zhao Zhen, and the mighty welcoming team was definitely not less than his own 3,000 people.
"Holy! That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”
Such a formation suddenly caught Li Gengyun a little off guard, he walked in the front, facing Zhao Zhen, remembering the scenes of the victory and triumph of those generals in the TV series, he knelt down on one knee helplessly, saluted Zhao Zhen, and shouted loudly: "Grass people Li Gengyun, see the queen!" See you! ”
"See the Queen! Ladies and gentlemen! ”
The three thousand men and horses behind Li Gengyun also followed him and saluted Zhao Zhen and them, and their voices resounded in the sky.
"Mr. Li, please get up!"
Zhao Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, helped Li Gengyun up, showed a happy smile on his face, pulled Li Gengyun's hand in his hand, and then shouted to everyone behind him with a smile: "All the soldiers have worked hard!" Hurry up, please! ”
"Thank you, Queen!"
"Thank you, Queen!"
At this time, Li Gengyun suddenly felt that Zhao Zhen's attitude and her behavior were completely different from the previous image of a little woman, and now she was more like a qualified emperor. His hand was tightly held by Zhao Zhen, this was obviously the routine of the superior to win people's hearts, and at the same time he saw Lin Wanyu standing behind Zhao Zhen, only to see that she was crying with joy, opening her mouth to speak and stopping, seeing that her hand was tightly grasped by Zhao Zhen, she also pursed her lips and lowered her head.
"General, arrange for all the soldiers to rest in the city!"
"Yes!"
Fang Tong also took a step forward after receiving the order, and after giving a salute, he went to arrange for the others to rest.
"Mr. Li, enter the palace with me, I have set up a banquet for Mr. Li in the palace to catch the wind and wash the dust for Mr. Li!"
Zhao Zhen had a smile on her face, and she took Li Gengyun's hand while walking in the direction of the inner city.
"Queen, I would like to recommend a few Magi, please ......"
"But it doesn't hurt to speak!"
"The three brothers of the Ding family, come with me into the palace!"
"Yes!"
Under the leadership of Zhao Zhen, Li Gengyun was dragged all the way by her on the way to the palace, which suddenly made Li Gengyun feel that Zhao Zhen must have changed like this, someone must be secretly teaching her the art of imperial power. Along the way, when the people along the way saw Zhao Zhen's behavior, they couldn't help but nod their heads and praise, saying that she was close to the virtuous ministers and was also very fond of the meritorious ministers. This can be regarded as a means to win people's hearts, and it is also a kind of recognition of Zhao Zhen's rule by the people of Xiangyang City, thinking that this empress is not inferior to those emperors.
After coming to the palace, Zhao Zhen still didn't let go, until she pulled Li Gengyun into the palace, then let go of her hand, and then turned to Li Gengyun with a smile and said, "Mr. Li has worked hard this time, I have learned from Senior Brother Lin what happened in Linkou a few days ago. If it weren't for Lu Guan's troubles, I'm afraid that the gift that Mr. Li brought back this time would be in addition to the 3,000 people, and the head of Duguke! ”
"Thanks to Empress Hongfu, this time I was able to successfully exterminate some of the Northern Yuan soldiers in Linkou. Lu Guan is indeed brave, if it weren't for his mission, I'm afraid I might not have been able to come back alive this time. ”
Li Gengyun thought in his heart that since Zhao Zhen used the emperor's technique on himself, it was obvious that it could not be the same as before, the so-called monarchs and ministers were different, so naturally they could not take the credit alone, but put the great credit on Zhao Zhen, thanks to Zhao Zhen's Hongfu. And the latter sentence is indeed true, if Lu Guan wants to take his own life, I'm afraid it won't be a very tricky thing, so it's really a bit of a fluke to be able to come back alive.
"Mr. Li has a good strategy, but he only went to three people, but now he has brought back three thousand elites for my Great Song, which really makes me happy! Come! Cloth mat! Serving! ”
Zhao Zhen said with a smile, and then she shouted to Xiangrui to serve the cloth mat.
It didn't take long for several tables to be set up in the palace, on which all kinds of delicacies were placed for Li Gengyun and them to enjoy. At the same time, Fang Tong and Guo Feng also rushed over, as generals and military advisors, both of them were eligible to participate in this banquet, and Fang Tong's son Fang Quan and He Jin were them, and Zhao Zhen did not arrange them.
Zhao Zhen sat in front of the rostrum, she raised her wine glass, and said to Li Gengyun and them in the audience: "Come, everyone raise a glass, let us congratulate Mr. Li on his triumphant return!" ”
"Congratulations to Mr. Li on his triumphant return!"
Li Gengyun also raised his wine glass, and said to Zhao Zhen and everyone: "Thank you, Queen!" Thank you! ”
After a glass of wine, Zhao Zhen also laughed heartily, and at the same time she clapped her hands and said: "Singing and dancing!" ”
"What's going on!"
When Li Gengyun heard Zhao Zhen's words, he immediately felt that something was wrong, this has not yet recovered the Great Song Dynasty, it is a wine banquet and singing and dancing! Who taught Zhao Zhen badly?!
