Chapter 287: Back to the Western Capital

A flying horse came running: "Lord, there is a person who calls himself Liu Yang to ask to see." ”

Liu Yang, who surrendered in the battle of Kaicheng in the attack on Zhou Yi, was later sent by Wang Xu to build a ship, and went to Hexi County to serve after giving up Guxi County last year, and was still the post of county commander.

"Why is Liu Yang here, call him over."

"No."

After a while, Liu Yang escorted a car and drove on horseback, Wang Xu ordered the army to pause, Liu Yang helped Liu Ya in the car down, and saluted: "King Wen." ”

Looking at Liu Yang's whole body clothes, although gorgeous, but torn in many places, and his hair fluffy like a beggar, Wang Xu wondered: "You are...?" ”

Liu Yang said embarrassedly: "King Wen, his subordinates and sisters came here to visit relatives, but they met bandits here, and all the county soldiers brought by his subordinates died. ”

"This thief is so daring, I'll go and see!" Zhang Meng's voice was like thunder on the side.

Wang Xu waved his hand to stop Zhang Meng, and then looked at Liu Yang: "You saw me just for this?" ”

Liu Yang said: "Can I still be the county magistrate of Fuchun County, and my subordinates will swear to exterminate these thieves." ”

It is absolutely not allowed to appear bandits on their own territory, but there is no hurry to let Liu Yang be transferred, and now Guxi County and Hexi County are initially decided, and there is a great shortage of manpower, Liu Yang's arrival reminded Wang Xu of one thing.

After the beginning of spring next year, it will definitely be necessary to implement a large-scale tuntian in order to store military rations, and other generals will be busy with military affairs and it is inconvenient to handle this matter, and Liu Yang is just right.

"Liu Yang, don't do the county order of Hexi County in the future, follow me back to the Western Capital, I have an important task for you."

Looking at Zhang Meng on the side, Wang Xu said: "Order the county order here to exterminate the bandits!" ”

"No."

Although Liu Yang was puzzled, he was curious. I don't know what the important task Wang Xu said, but I can only promise: "Promise." In fact, in Liu Yang's heart, he didn't want to do any big tasks at all, his wish was to be a small county magistrate. It's enough to live a good life.

This is a man without ambition!

In fact, Liu Yang was a little worried, if Wang Xu was sending him a task like shipbuilding, it would be better to resign and return home, it was good to complete the task, but it would not be completed. That's a great crime to kill the head.

..............

Guxi County, west of the western capital, ten miles away.

Thousands of people crowded, looking into the distance, as if waiting for something.

Directly in front of the crowd, a horse-drawn carriage was parked.

Next to the carriage, there stood an old man in good spirits, this old man was all white, the silver-white silk was not enough to tie up, and a wooden hairpin was inserted in the bun. The old man was dressed in a dark blue robe. Standing in the cold wind and looking into the distance, there was a look of anticipation in his eyes. The old man's back protruded slightly, looking a little rickety, but the old man's clear body stood in the cold wind, still straightened up, standing like a pine, and did not move.

In particular, the old man's eyes were blazing, as deep as the starry sky.

"Mr. Jia, the weather is a little cold, and it is easy to get cold. Let's go back to the carriage and wait! ”

Qin Shuang said on the side.

Jia Hui waved his hand: "I want to go back to you, today is the day when the lord returns to the city, how can I not come to greet you." ”

According to the decision of the Ministry of Rites and the Military Aircraft Department, King Wen returned to the Western Capital. The officials of the Western Capital want to go out of the city for ten miles to greet each other, this can stand here, Huang Quan's county soldiers are lined up on both sides of the city from here until they are under the Western Capital, the army is majestic and neat, and the momentum is extraordinary!

Qin Shuang smiled and said, "Mr. Jia, I have a good body. Not afraid of wind and cold. But although you can hold on, don't wait for the lord to come back, you will fall, and then the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

Now Jia Hui is fifty-two, and it is true that it is freezing on this day.

Jia Hui scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Qin Shuang, even if you fall, the old man can still stand." ”

Both of them did not admit defeat and scolded each other, but a discerning person knew at a glance that both of them were joking.

"It's back, King Wen is back!"

Suddenly, the soldier standing at the front saw a black flag fluttering in the wind in the distance, and the big black flag was embroidered with the word 'king' in a big fight, and immediately shouted loudly.

The spring is cold, and the cold wind blows the flag hunting.

The black flag appeared in everyone's sight, which made the atmosphere suddenly warm.

Jia Hui, Qin Shuang, and Huang Quan's eyes all looked into the distance, saw the flag fluttering in the wind, and at the same time, they also saw a vague figure at the front of the team, constantly advancing.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Xu's face can be clearly seen, and today Wang Xu did not make a frame, but walked majestically in the forefront.

I saw Wang Xu riding a black war horse under his crotch, wearing black chain mail, wearing a golden helmet, a big red cloak behind him, a long sword hanging from his waist, and a long bow hanging next to the horse's belly. Under the cold wind, the big red cloak was raised, like a fiery red elf following behind Wang Xu. At a glance, Wang Xu is dignified, majestic, and desirable.

Behind Wang Xu, Zhang Meng and Li Zhi walked side by side, with a happy look on their faces.

The march of the army day and night has finally arrived, and today is exactly the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the whole country is jubilant, which is really an auspicious day.

After a few shuddered with Huang Quan and the others, everyone turned over and got on their horses and continued to move towards the west, along the way, Wang Xu could clearly feel that everyone was in a happy mood.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Western Capital, Wang Xu saw a lot of people standing on the streets, and all the officials of the Six Ministries, Wenyuan Pavilion, Wuying Hall and so on came to the gate of the Western Capital to greet them.

Everyone has a bright smile on their faces, especially the people, at this time in the Western Capital, there are many people who are newcomers, and they didn't believe that the government would exempt them from taxes, but it's the New Year, and there is not even a single person from the business alliance who collects taxes, so it can be seen that there is really such a thing.

"King Wen Chitose, Chitose, Chitose."

.............

Under everyone's kneeling, shouting, and supporting, Wang Xu led the officials of various ministries through the streets, and finally arrived at the Chengqian Palace, where all the troops returned to the school and stationed.

Wang Xu returned to the Western Capital, Zhu Huan, Hu Ling, the Imperial Capital and other forces learned the news three days later, and rushed to shock for this I and other scenes, especially Hu Ling, if his army returned, the people would be closed, such as entering the dead city, but I didn't expect Wang Xu to be so happy.

Such a scene made all the generals and officials in the imperial capital, and even the emperor, Zhou Xie and others restless, because it showed that Wang Xu had occupied a very high position in the hearts of the people, and it would be even more difficult to exterminate the thieves in the future.

As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world!

Everyone understands this truth, but there are very few people who can do this, just like Hu Ling, he also knows this truth, but he can't do it, oppressing the people is what he must do, if he doesn't oppress, I'm afraid he will be exterminated by the court long ago. (To be continued.) )
