Seeing that the first battle was a great victory, and none of the Eastern Zhou soldiers ran away, Zhou Bian was happy in his heart, so he ordered the surrendered Eastern Zhou soldiers to be tied up, and the bodies of the rest of the Eastern Zhou soldiers were carried to the river for burial. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info then ordered Zhou Mi to wait for a clear, but he was startled, our side died 22 people, seriously injured 10 people, and slightly injured more, although all victories, but the casualty ratio reached 1 to 2, and the superior forces were sneak attacked, this result made Zhou Bian very dissatisfied, Zhou Bian's heart became depressed again, it seems that the reform of the military system is imminent.

After disposing of the corpse of the Eastern Zhou soldiers, Zhou Mi came to ask me how to deal with Cheng Zhou's corpse, Zhou Bian looked around, there were only barren mountains and ancient roads, although there was a saying that Qingshan buried the bones everywhere, but it was obviously not appropriate to bury them here at this time, and his mind moved, so he ordered a few carriages to be vacated, load the body into the carriage, and bring it back to Cheng Zhou.

After the scene was cleared, the blood stains were covered with dirt until no trace was visible. Zhou Bian thought about whether there was still a summary meeting, so he ordered Zhou Mi and Pang Xing to gather the team, and he climbed a big rock, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, this battle is the first great victory after the king ascended the throne, and your credit to the king is remembered, my Great Zhou royal family is now a little poorer, but there will always be a time when it will be developed in the future, and your rewards will be honored by the king one by one." ”

Everyone hurriedly shouted, "Thank you, King!" ”

After a pause, Zhou Bian said, "But there are two people who don't listen to the command of this king, and they attack without waiting for this king's order, and they should be punished, but this king sees that the two of them are brave in battle, so they will offset their merits, and they will no longer reward these two when they reward this merit in the future, do you have any opinions?" ”

Wang Sunjian laughed when he heard this, "It is not uncommon for a certain person to kill the enemy, as long as he brings a certain next time!." ”

Liu Yun wanted to speak, but was preempted by Wang Sunjian, and his heart was unhappy, he glared at the latter and said, "When I was in the palace, I knew that Wang Sunjian was fierce, and I had already had the heart of competition. The crowd laughed.

After everyone laughed, Zhou Bian said again, "Those who dare to fight with this king this time, whether they kill the enemy or not, are all heroes." The king has decided that in addition to the king's personal guards, the rest of the people who will participate in this battle today will form another army, which will be called the Imperial Forest Army, which will be directly under the king and will go out with the king, what do you think? ”

The crowd applauded.

"In this case, after returning to Chengzhou, this king went to ask for people with the young master and Sima Tu. This king sees that Pang Xing has led the troops well, and he used to be a centurion, so this king will let him continue to be your centurion, how about it? ”

Pang Xing hurriedly knelt down and didn't even dare to say that he wanted to give way to Zhou Mi, but he was persuaded by everyone, so he kowtowed and thanked him.

After the arrangement, Zhou Bian gave an order, and the team went back to Chengzhou. This march was different from when they came, everyone was high-spirited and high-spirited, and Zhou Mi and other thirty personal guards naturally walked in two rows according to their usual training, and Zhou Mi shouted, "One, two, three, four!" The other thirty people also shouted, this is Zhou Bian's teaching, at this time shouted loudly, with great momentum, and gradually the newly established Imperial Forest Army also consciously or unconsciously lined up, and the pace slowly coincided, and they also shouted, and it was really majestic.

At this time, it was the setting sun, but the sun that had been cloudy for a day showed its face at this last moment, reflecting that half of the sky was red, and it must be a sunny day tomorrow. Zhou Bian's heart moved, remembering the song he learned in elementary school in his previous life, and after thinking about it, he sang loudly, "The red glow flies in the west mountain at sunset, the warrior returns triumphantly, returns triumphantly, the blood-stained robe welcomes the colorful xia, the song of victory flies all over the sky, revitalizes my Great Zhou, returns to his hometown with glory, and the song of victory flies all over the sky." ”

Everyone was infected by this, and this song was also easy to learn, so they soon sang in unison, "The song flew to Chengzhou, the Queen Mother was really happy to hear it, praised us for singing well, praised us for the number one in martial arts, revitalized my Great Zhou, returned to our hometown with glory, and praised us for the first number of martial arts." The lyrics were changed by Zhou Bian himself, but they also fit the occasion.

Not to mention that Zhou Bian led the team to be jubilant and sang songs all the way, but it was said that in Zhou City, some people were happy and some were worried.

In the dim ancestral temple, the light is worse at this time, in the misty oil lamp, you can see two figures kneeling in front of the hall, one is naturally the queen mother, the other is Liu, after Zhou Bian left, she came to accompany the queen mother to kneel and ask for peace. Suddenly, a maid hurriedly ran in, but it was Qiao'er, "Queen Mother, Niangniang, the king is coming back soon." "The people in the palace want to call Liu Niangniang."

The Queen Mother's expression moved, but it was Liu who spoke first, "What about the king?" ”

"No one has reciprocated yet."

"Then why don't you go out and explore again?"

"But when they said that the king's procession could be seen at the top of the city, and that they were singing, the little guard said that the king's song was very good."

The Queen Mother and Liu glanced at each other, and their mood was suddenly very good, since they were singing, they must be safe and sound. The Queen Mother bowed down respectfully and shouted, "Thank you for the manifestation of your ancestors, thank you for your blessings!" Liu hurriedly bowed down, and Qiao'er quietly retreated.

In another place in Chengzhou, in the courtyard of the young master's house, after listening to the report of the next person, the young master's body was weak, and he sat down on the low couch, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." The old man thought that the king would learn some lessons. The young master's son was busy beside him and said eagerly, "Father, what about Sima Tu who is still locked up in the mansion by us, how to deal with it?" ”

"Let's put it away, what else?"

When the young master's son heard the sound, he walked out of the door, and was stopped again when he arrived at the door. "My son, let that Sima Tu tell the king a word, just say that the major affairs of the country are enshrined in Rong, although the Taishi and the young master are not there, the ministers in Chengzhou City are headed by the young master, why didn't the king come to ask the old man, and then he started a fight?" The son of the young master went out in response.

Seeing that Cheng Zhou was in sight, everyone was happy in their hearts, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace a lot. The guards on the east city gate saw Zhou Bian and them out of the city, and when they saw the singing and returned, many cattle and horses and grain carts were rushed back, and they were immediately overjoyed, and the whole city gate was in a hurry.

Chengzhou City was even more jubilant, many people took to the streets to watch Zhou Bian's procession, and many children also ran with the team, but they did not dare to approach because they were afraid of the murderous aura of the soldiers, which caused the team to laugh from time to time. The Great Zhou royal family has not had a victory for many years.

When Zhou Bian arrived, he saw the Queen Mother and Liu standing in front of the ancestral temple, and a group of maids stood on both sides, Zhou Bian was moved in his heart, and when he walked to him, he knelt down on one knee, "The child is not filial, so that the queen mother is worried!" ”

Behind him, a group of people knelt down and shouted neatly, "Say hello to the Queen Mother!" ”

The Queen Mother had tears in the corners of her eyes, her hands trembled, and after a while, she stretched out her trembling hand to help Zhou Bian up, and held her in her arms lovingly, as if she was afraid that she would disappear as soon as she let go. Liu and the others didn't say a word, so they let the mother and daughter stay quietly.

It took a long time before the Queen Mother let go of her hand, "It's good that Wang Er returns safely, it's good to be safe." ”

Zhou Bian was not satisfied, "This battle is the first battle of the child, forty-two enemies were annihilated, eight people were captured, the child had already made an oath in front of the ancestors and ancestors, and never let my Da Zhou be bullied again, the queen mother can rest assured, the child will work hard in the future." ”

With that, he looked behind him. After careful understanding, he commanded everyone to shout, "Da Zhou will win, Da Zhou will win!" ”

The Queen Mother looked at everyone one by one with tears in her eyes, only to see that some were young, and some were full of beards, although they were all stained with blood and a little tired, but all of them had calm eyes, and they were obviously already qualified soldiers. Moved in his heart, he said loudly, "You are all the heroes of my Great Zhou, and this palace has thanked you for the ancestors of the past dynasties." After saying that, he bowed slightly, and Liu and the others behind him hurriedly helped him up. Zhou Bian secretly said in his heart, this queen mother is much more powerful than me.

Sure enough, everyone hurriedly knelt down, not even daring, it could be seen that they could let them die in the future. The Queen Mother said, "Although my royal family is poor, but today," she said and looked at the cattle and horses led behind everyone, and continued, "Today, the palace is in charge, kill a cow, and take the palace wine for all the strong men to drink!" ”

This is the benefit in front of him, and all the soldiers were immediately overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

After seeing the queen mother's arrangement, Zhou Bian said, "This battle, there are twenty-two victims, I hope the queen mother is allowed to temporarily place it in the ancestral temple, if there is a family, then let the family take it back for burial, my royal family will pay compensation, if there is no family, then my royal family will come forward to bury it in a unified manner. "The queen mother will play power, and this king will naturally win people's hearts, Zhou Bian thought about it and said it.

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. After arranging it, everyone was moved again, and soon they were busy getting things done. At this time, the cow was killed, and everyone was in front of the palace gate, lit a bonfire, ate meat and drank wine, which made all the cities of Zhou envious.

Zhou Bian naturally didn't eat with everyone, and as soon as he finished eating, he saw Sima Tu, who he couldn't find before leaving. At this time, the latter was kneeling on the ground with a ashamed face, and when he saw the king, Zhou Bian didn't open his mouth to ask, Sima Tu desperately cried and recounted.

A moment later, in the quiet palace, a snap was suddenly heard, as if something had broken, and it seemed particularly crisp in the night, startling the busy maid not far away, almost dropped the pottery bowl that was being cleaned in her hand, but then it was quiet again, and the maid patted her chest, let out a long breath and continued to get busy. It turned out that it was Zhou Bian who smashed a clay pot not far from his hand to the ground, and Sima Tu behind him trembled and carefully accompanied, "Back to the king, the young master really said so." Don't be angry, the future will be long, this royal family is still pointing at the king! ”
