As Li Si said, Cao Cao has retreated back to Guanzhong, which means that Luoyang, Hedong and even Nanyang will once again face the threat of the Zhao army, and in a short period of time, he will not be able to capture Chengcheng, that is, he will likely face Liu Bei and Cao Cao again The two great heroes of the north and south are attacked, which Zhang Yuan does not want to see.

Although the city has not been conquered, the remaining Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Yanmen and other counties in northern Vietnam have all been included in the territory of the Great Zhou.

Taiyuan County and other Vietnamese counties in central Vietnam have been captured before, as for the counties in western Vietnam that were originally occupied by the Xiongnu, they were also destroyed by the main force of 50,000, and their strength suffered heavy losses.

This means that, except for the city in front of him, almost the entire territory of Yuan Shang's sphere of influence has been included in the territory of the Great Zhou.

After weighing it again and again, Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed with determination, and he waved his hand and said: "Li Si is reasonable, our strategic goal has been achieved, there is no need to spend it with Liu Lao, pass on the order, tomorrow the whole army will pull out the camp, and Zhai Shi will return to Beijing." ”

When the order was handed down, the nerves of the officers and men of the three armies that had been tense for nearly half a year may finally be relaxed.

The next day, Zhang Yuan led an army of 80,000 and returned south with the mighty Zhai Division.

Before leaving Yuan Shang's sphere of influence, Zhang Yuan appointed Tian Dan as the general of Anbei and led 5,000 elite troops to sit in Mayi to guard against the threat of the Youjun army from the city of Cheng.

Tiandan is good at guarding, even if Liu Bei has done his best to conquer the army and surround Mayi, Zhang Yuan also wants to believe that with Tiandan's ability to defend the city, there are 5,000 elite troops, which is enough to hold on to his army to help.

On the Hedong side, Zhang Yuan ordered Zhang He to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the Puban line and defend the Vietnam line.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan transferred Zhang Juzheng, who had outstanding political achievements in Yuan Shang's sphere of influence, to assassinate Yuan Shang's sphere of influence, and ordered him to rush Yueyang to take charge of the government affairs of Yuan Shang's sphere of influence.

The military and political personnel arrangements for Yuan Shang's sphere of influence were in place, and half a month later, Zhang Yuan led the victorious army and returned to Yejing in triumph.

On the day of returning to Beijing, Yecheng is naturally an empty alley of 10,000 people, and the people of a city are kneeling on both sides of the royal street, and the mountains shout long live, welcoming their triumphant return of King Zhou.

This battle was the first battle after Zhang Yuan became king, and it can be said that he played a majestic and domineering battle.

With the strength of the Great Zhou Kingdom, he singled out the alliance of the five countries, not to mention, but also forced back the division of Zhao You and the two countries with the main force, overcame the danger of Taihang Mountain, and repeatedly made strange plans, and finally defeated the lord and killed Yuan Shang, which was simply a miracle.

In addition, he also annihilated the 50,000 iron horsemen of the Southern Huns, annihilated the Montenegrin army that had been in Taihang for many years, and punished its bandit leader Zhang Yan, completing an almost impossible task.

This kind of great feats were enough to make the subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty surrender to him, and with great awe, they spontaneously came to greet his triumph.

Zhang Yuance Ma Min's head, with a kingly spirit, walked into Yejing, he could see from the eyes of the subjects who worshipped him that his people of the Great Zhou Dynasty had regarded him as a god-like existence in their hearts, and believed that he was the reincarnation of a saint and the appearance of Yunlong.

"It seems that dignity is really beaten, and this kind of awe of people who win with their fists is the most down-to-earth to enjoy......"

Zhang Yuan felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and a strong sense of accomplishment arose, and under the gaze of countless awes, he walked into the palace when he listened to the mountains calling long live.

On the day of returning to the palace, the first thing Zhang Yuan did was naturally to issue an edict and reward meritorious soldiers.

Li Cunxiao, Zhang Xutuo and other meritorious generals are either rewarded with gold silk, or increased food, or promoted official titles, Zhang Yuan is rewarded for meritorious service, and he is not stingy.

The generals are heavily rewarded, and the soldiers at the bottom, Zhang Yuan will not treat them badly, according to the number of people's military exploits, those who should be promoted will be promoted, and those who should be rewarded will be rewarded.

This time, Zhang Yuan captured the lord and copied the powerful home of the Zhang Duo clan, and the wealth obtained was countless, Zhang Yuan used the money copied to reward the soldiers, it can be said that he did not spend a dime, and collected the hearts of the soldiers.

The civil and military soldiers were all rewarded, and naturally they were all rejoicing, and they were full of gratitude to Zhang Yuan, and they quickly recovered their fighting spirit, and they all looked forward to the arrival of the next war, so that they could make meritorious deeds and get rewards.

Because, they already know that the king of Zhou they serve is a middle-class reward and punishment, as long as they are willing to fight hard, they will have the opportunity to get money, and even the reward of the title, they will have the opportunity to worship the generals from the bottom, and glorify the ancestors.

After rewarding the civil and military soldiers, Zhang Yuan began his celebration feast.

For three days, Zhang Yuan was in his palace of the king of Zhou, and he held a banquet with delicious wine and delicacies to entertain his military generals.

In this campaign, in the Taihang Mountains, Zhang Yuan has been staying up for half a year, and now he has finally returned to the luxurious palace.

At the same time as the banquet of the ministers, Zhang Yuan asked the princess Fan Lihua to arrange it, and chose an auspicious day for Sichen, so he married Zhen Mi and Meixi at the same time, and accepted them as side concubines.

Now that Zhen Mi has been completely attracted to herself, Yang is willing to marry herself, not to mention Meixi, who was flattered from the beginning, and has long wished that she could marry into the palace as soon as possible.

Moreover, the two sisters have now voluntarily become sisters, and all obstacles have been removed, Zhang Yuan still has nothing to worry about, when he married them early, in order to obtain the talent of the Son of Heaven again, and double the talent of his Son of Heaven.

If you want to say that Fan Lihua is really the material of being a princess, she knows the general situation, knowing that Zhang Yuan is now the king of a country, and it is natural for Concubine Dona to be a concubine, but she did not show any dissatisfaction, but after making fun of Zhang Yuanhua's intestines like a coquette, she was busy arranging marriage for him.

Even Princess Fan Lihua did not react, and the rest of Faye Wong, Lian Di Rouge, Cai Yan Atina and Queen Dugu naturally did not dare to be dissatisfied.

Not only did they express their dissatisfaction, in order to show their knowledge and body to please Zhang Yuan, they also took the initiative to help Fan Lihua and prepare for Zhang Yuan's concubine.

On the tenth day after Zhang Yuan's triumph, the magnificent palace of the king of Zhou was lit up, and a grand concubine dragon ceremony began.

This means that, except for the city in front of him, almost the entire territory of Yuan Shang's sphere of influence has been included in the territory of the Great Zhou.

After weighing it again and again, Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed with determination, and he waved his hand and said: "Li Si is reasonable, our strategic goal has been achieved, there is no need to spend it with Liu Lao, pass on the order, tomorrow the whole army will pull out the camp, and Zhai Shi will return to Beijing." ”

When the order was handed down, the nerves of the officers and men of the three armies that had been tense for nearly half a year may finally be relaxed.

The next day, Zhang Yuan led an army of 80,000 and returned south with the mighty Zhai Division.
