According to the design plan given by Qin Lei, the suspension bridge on Wang Mang Gorge was completed in more than 40 days, and the 100,000 troops and 200,000 war horses trapped in the Yangjiban fortress finally returned to Huguankou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info As for the city defense of Yangjisaka, it was naturally taken over by Marshal Zhengdong. It is said that Xu Xu personally led 50,000 elites to sit in Yangguban, intending to monopolize the Huguan Grand Canyon.

As soon as the main force of the 20,000 Jingshan Army returned to China, he received an order from the prince to rest on the spot until the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and then went south in concealment, arriving at Hangu Pass on the second day of the first month of the following year, accepting the dispatch of Le Buyi and cooperating with him to complete the Spring Festival offensive.

It is gratifying that although Qin Lei did not give orders to the friendly army, the eldest prince still led 70,000 horses and horses with Che Yinguo and Shen Wei to follow the Jingshan Army south to participate in the battle together.

For recruiting 100,000 horses at once, Qin Lei could only smile bitterly, although Tongguan City originally had a lot of reserves, but from the beginning of the war to the present, the imperial court has not allocated a grain of grain, even the big family business is about to be lost. He had been careful in his calculations and scraped together 25,000 men and horses for two months' worth of grain, but as a result, the men ate three times more horses, which was only enough to fight for half a month.

"Half a month is half a month." Fortunately, Qin Lei was easier to speak, and after smiling bitterly, he smacked his lips and said, "Then let's fight quickly." ”

Under the guidance of this policy, the Qin army marched east to Guguan in three ways on the first month, and Yang Wenyu and Shen Qing led the North Route Army to recover Jiafu on the sixth day of the first month, destroying 3,000 enemies; The eldest prince personally led the middle route army to recover Hongnongfu on the seventh day of the first month, destroying 5,000 enemies; Che Yinguo led the Southern Route Army to recover Lufu on the seventh day of the first month, destroying 2,000 enemies.

Immediately after the eighth day of the first month, Caoyang, the ninth Ke Michi, the tenth day of the first month, to the thirteenth day of the first month, the three-way army attacked Luoyang City, defeated the 100,000 Qi army that surrounded Luoyang, and rescued the army that had been besieged for several months in the city.

The army was full of vigor and swept the clouds, and drove all the Qi ** teams that invaded the territory of Daqin back to the Tiger Prison Pass, and then they still collected their troops and returned to the camp to make up for a happy Spring Festival.

Qin Lei personally went out of the customs for dozens of miles, bringing wine and meat into the camp to work in the army, which was a lively celebration banquet. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the two brothers got up and left the table, so as not to let the generals be restrained and not drink.

Walking out of the big tent, I saw a clear day in the sky, and the ground was covered in silver, and the scenery was extraordinarily enchanting.

The brothers walked through the snow, and at first neither spoke, except for the creaking of the snow. After walking out of the long distance for a while, seeing that the guards had been left far behind, Qin Li spoke: "Do you know the whereabouts of the old man?" ”

Qin Lei took a few steps before slowly nodding and said, "This year is the first year of Tianyou. ”

Qin Li frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Have you changed the yuan......

"yes." Qin Lei looked into the distance and said lightly: "One day in the month of Layue, after the withdrawal of the Qi State, the sixth man appeared under Tongguan City with the old man. As he spoke, he glanced at the old avenue: "The old man is demented and only knows how to eat, drink, and sleep, which is no different from a one-year-old child." ”

Qin Li was taken aback, his pupils shrunk and said, "Why?" ”

"I don't know, maybe it's stimulated by something." Qin Lei frowned and said, "Even Mr. Le can't understand it, it's really incomprehensible." ”

"So you hid them?" Qin Li said in a deep voice: "This is neither a long-term solution, nor is it the way of the son!" It's better to inform the court earlier. ”

"Of course I do." Qin Lei scratched his head in distress and said: "The transcript of the secret report has already been submitted, and it is enough to call a few back and forth, but there is no will so far, what do you say is the matter?" ”

"Second ......" Qin Li walked out of the distance with his hands behind his back, and then said with a pale face: "I think he doesn't want his father to go back." Saying that, he stomped his foot and said, "I know that he is reluctant to break his seat!" ”

"But a few scholars sent letters." Qin Lei's face was also not good-looking, and he said in a deep voice: "I also asked about the front-line war, but I just repeatedly asked Your Majesty if he was really demented." ”

"I think they can be punished!" Qin Li waved his hand violently and said, "Behind this, it can't be said that the second child is making trouble again!" ”

"I see that you have a prejudice against the second brother." Qin Lei smiled and said, "Things may not be what you imagined. ”

"How not?" Qin Li said with a red face and a rough neck: "Don't say anything else, just say that you guard Tongguan, but it's a battle of life and death for my Great Qin!" What emperor in the world should not be fully supported? But what about our Heavenly Emperor? Ignore it, ignore it, is this what it looks like to be an emperor? Saying that, he roared at Qin Lei and said, "I'm not jealous, to tell you, I'm not interested in that position, don't think of me as an unbearable villain!" ”

Gently wiping away the spittle that was sprayed on his face, Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "It's up to him whether it's suitable or not, and there's no pick." ”

Qin Li's face was stunned, and he pouted: "I think you are more suitable than him, you look at his wretched appearance, you will be angry when you think about it!" ”

Qin Lei shook his head quietly, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about these futile things, he is now sitting in the world on behalf of our Qin family, if even our brothers don't give face, who else do you expect to listen to him?" "Since he made up his mind to make a fortune in silence, accumulate strength, and wait for the right time to seize power, he has been much calmer about who will be the emperor.

"That's right." Qin Li nodded and said, "Then what should I do next?" ”

Looking at him deeply, Qin Lei shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, let's rest first." said with a smile: "I want to go back to Beijing, my second brother and grandmother have urged me many times, and I am about to become a father." ”

Qin Li was overjoyed and said, "When?" ”

"It's going to be February or March." Qin Lei smiled and said, "I didn't feel anything at first, but I became more and more worried in my heart." ”

Qin Li laughed and said: "Yes, when your eldest nephew was born, I didn't feel anything, but as soon as I saw that little face like a monkey's buttocks, my tears came down." Scratching his head and laughing: "That feels like you will know when you become a father, and you will never know if you are not." ”

"Where's the big brother?" Qin Lei nodded with a smile and asked softly, "Do you want to go back with me, or do you have other plans?" ”

"I'll go back too, since the second brother asked me to lead the troops, then I have to go next, right?" Qin Li scolded with a smile: "Speaking of which, he is not stupid, no one can do this errand except me." ”

"No one is more energetic than anyone else." Qin Lei nodded and said, "Then let's set off together." ”

"Still not." Qin Li shook his head and said: "The Taiwei Mansion ordered me to clean up the mess of the Zhendong Army, and I have to straighten out the three or two kittens before I can set off." "In this war, the Zhendong Army lost 100,000 killed and 100,000 captured, and the remaining 50,000 troops were also besieged in Luoyang City.

"It seems that the new Marshal of Zhendong is none other than the eldest brother." Qin Lei's heart moved, and he smiled faintly.

"Who knows......" the eldest prince shook his head.

After breaking up with the eldest prince, Qin Lei returned to the Jingshan military camp. The generals are all drinking and having fun in the Chinese military tent, and only Le Buyi, who does not like to be lively, is lying high in the kimono, which is quite a famous man.

"What do you sleep in the daytime?" As soon as he entered, Qin Lei shouted, "Get up and drink with me." ”

Le Buyi turned over, opened his eyes, looked at Qin Lei and said, "Zhuge Kongming is lying down solemnly, if he encounters a lord like you, he will definitely ignore it." ”

"I'm not Liu Da'er." Qin Lei pursed his lips and smiled, crossed his legs and said, "That person is too hypocritical, I don't like it." ”

"If he can be false and righteous in his life, then he is truly righteous and righteous." Le Buyi got up sleepy-eyed, poured a bowl of water from the pot to drink, smacked his lips and said, "How about it, have you tried something?" ”

"Nope." Qin Lei smiled bitterly: "The boss's performance is impeccable, in line with his usual image. "Ever since he became suspicious of the boss, Qin Lei often used conspiracy theories to guess him. For example, Qin Lei wondered if the reason why he went south to help in the war was because he wanted to get a piece of the pie and not let himself win alone? But even if Qin Lei is suspicious, he will only knock on the side, and will not ask too directly.

"The prince might as well give up the Zhendong Army to His Highness." After listening to Qin Lei's retelling of the content of the conversation, Le Buyi muttered: "How can you say that he is also surnamed Qin, not Li." ”

"That's what Lone thinks, too." Qin Lei took out a handful of watermelon seeds from under the table, clicked and said: "Although Tongguan is guarded by us, and Hangu Pass is also recovered by us, but we can't swallow all the Shenwu Army and Zhendong Army in one go. ”

"That's right, the 300,000 new troops that Marshal Zhennan trained for us will be released next year at the latest." Le Buyi also touched a handful of melon seeds, and said with a click: "When the time comes, with the expanded Jingshan Army, it will be an army of 400,000, which has reached the limit of the south's support." 'Bah' spit out a few pieces of melon seed skin and said: "400,000 is enough to do anything, and more is a pure waste." ”

"Okay," Qin Lei nodded, "Just Mr. Yi." He changed the subject again: "What about Huang Fuxian and Li Xun?" ”

"Pairs." Le Buyi said in a deep voice: "Let Huangfu Xian take Li Xun and return to the field, and then let Huangfu Zhanwen take over the Tiger Army, so that you can take the Tiger Army calmly, and secondly, let His Highness control the Zhendong Army." ”

"Tiger Ben, Shenwu, Iron Armor, Broken Captive." Qin Lei pinched his fingers and calculated: "Half of the Eight Great Forbidden Armies are already under our control, it seems that Lao Tzu is really strong." ”

"Having said that," Le Buyi said with a smile: "But the Zhendong Army is in vain, and the task of guarding the Hangu Pass and the East Gate of the Direction has to fall on these forbidden troops who have suffered heavy losses." ”

"Hold on." Qin Lei slapped the table and said: "I'll go back and fight with Li Hun, this Great Qin is our Qin family, how can we give him the treasury to the Li family!" ”

By the end of the first month, Qin Lei had arranged the defense of the Eastern Front, and then led the Jingshan Army Division, which had great achievements in battle and was scarred, to return to the Dynasty, accompanied by Li Xun and Huangfu Zhanwen, who had returned to Beijing to ask for guilt, as well as the Six Princes and His Majesty the Emperor Taishang, who had fainted.

On the way back to Beijing, Qin Lei knew how famous he had established, but all the states and counties along the way, there were thousands of empty alleys, men, women and children out of the city to greet him. The people carried wine and meat, and stuffed them into the hands of the soldiers of the Jingshan Army one by one. As soon as he saw the majestic Black Tiger King Banner, he cheered, kowtowed, and followed the team for a day or two, until the next wave of welcoming people appeared, and then reluctantly turned back.

So that the send-off and greeting procession are end-to-end, endless, which can be described as a rare spectacle in ancient and modern times. There is a poem in the time:

Since ancient times, there have been many battles, and the origin is still a soldier. Press the sword from the eastern frontier and drive thousands of miles.

Beat Yum Gong and draw two levels with one stone. To send a message to the world's generals, it is necessary to establish a martial arts reputation

Qin Lei intended to cultivate the pride and honor of the officers and soldiers of Jingshan, and in order to create the image of the Jingshan Army as a mighty division and a division close to the people, he ordered his subordinates to polish their armor, cheer up their spirits, and march majestically on the official road of Daqin.

He undoubtedly turned this class into a show, and although the speed of the march was greatly affected, the effect was obviously excellent...... In people's word of mouth, the soldiers of the Jingshan Army have become wearing colorful armor and red rabbit BMW under their crotch, each of them is a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general! For a time, the heroes of the whole people became the idols of the whole people again, so that those who signed up for the army from all over the country stepped through the threshold of the Jingshan Army recruitment point.

The good quality and high willingness of these volunteers solved the problem of the Jingshan Army's troop source in one fell swoop, and laid a solid foundation for the recovery of its combat strength and the subsequent expansion of its scale.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, at that time, there were few people who could understand Qin Lei's order, but the officers and soldiers were willing to carry it out, in addition to good military discipline as a guarantee, but also because this 'class teacher returned to the dynasty' ceremony, it was definitely the most glorious, proud, and rewarding trip in the lives of the officers and soldiers.

At the beginning of February, they set out from Tongguan, and all they saw along the way were loess mats, incense, candles, flowers, and the scene of all the people cheering and sending off. The four provinces of Shanbei, Longdong, Hedong and Guanzhong along the way, from entry to exit, are all greeted and sent by the governor and governor, and the prefect and county are in charge of the whole process, and the people along the way are obsessed with each other! The officials treated them with great respect, and the people were like gods, and they didn't have to worry about eating and drinking...... Good wine and good food, big fish and big meat are full, so that these guys who have suffered in purgatory for more than half a year seem to have returned to heaven!

After being grateful, Qin Lei encouraged them to bring out the best side, and it became easy.

Of course, Qin Lei's harvest is also greater, and the gifts and 'Cheng Yi' given by provincial capitals and counties are piled up like a mountain, and the houses are full, and it is estimated that it will be more than two million taels. Qin Lei is not the kind of prince who can't rub sand in his eyes, he knows that although these money are ill-gotten gains, even if he doesn't want it, those officials will not return it to the people, it is better to laugh and invest in business, and it is not a waste of these people's fat and people's ointment.

Along the way, the scenery and scenery were beautiful, and finally arrived in the Gyeonggi area in the spring of March, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, who had been waiting for a long time, came to meet the prince......

As soon as he heard the list of people, Qin Lei hurriedly jumped off his horse and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, attracting the surrounding guards to look sideways, and whispered: "The first time I saw the prince attach so much importance to it, it was usually the governor and the governor who came, and I have never seen it like this." "Stupid, it's Li Shangshu here! Can the governor be compared? Even a university scholar can't compare! Li Shangshu ...... Oh, the prince's father-in-law......"

Qin Lei took two steps out of the way, and saw Li Guangyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, leading Tian Ainong and Mu Renwei to walk towards him. As soon as the two sides looked at each other, Li Guangyuan took the two waiters to kowtow and said: "Weichen knocks to see Prince Wucheng, the prince is a thousand years old and a thousand years old......."

Qin Lei hurriedly helped Li Guangyuan up, and said with a smile: "The two waiters should also get up." The two thanked the prince and got up, but when they saw that the prince pulled Lord Shangshu to the south and stood up, they withdrew two steps and pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar to pay respects.

Li Guangyuan didn't expect Qin Lei to kneel on his knees, and suddenly said at a loss: "I can't help it, I can......'t help it" But he heard Qin Lei say loudly: "The child knocks on his father-in-law, and his father-in-law is healthy and auspicious." "Li Guangyuan calmed down at this time, and said in his heart: 'You snatched my daughter away, and made my old Li family lose so much face, and I won't be wronged when I kneel.' Having said that, he said vigorously: "I can't do it, I can't do it." Hurry up and help Qin Lei up.

Qin Lei stood up with the momentum, and then said with a smile: "My father-in-law went out of the city for a hundred miles to greet him, so he should use official business." "He has a 'father-in-law', obviously a thief with a weak heart, and he is afraid of the bitter lord Naqiao.

But Qin Lei is arrogant, but he doesn't know that after Shiyun became his concubine, the Li family shared weal and woe with him, either the water fell low, or the tide rose - after his bloody battle against Muyeyuan, besieging Shangjing, defending Tong Pass, overcoming Baisheng Gong, turning the tide and falling, and supporting the building in the general, the Li family's momentum and status are also soaring, and they have become the wealthy lord of the central capital again, Li Guangyuan is too late to hurt him, how can he blame him?

Under the deliberate intention of Weng and his son-in-law, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious, and the two soon became closer than relatives, Li Guangyuan took out a pair of yellow silk from his arms, and said with a warm smile: "Weichen is here to deliver the decree." Qin Lei let out an 'oh', so he had to kneel down slowly, but was pulled by Li Guangyuan and said: "Your Majesty said, the prince doesn't need to kneel down, just stand and listen to the order." ”

"Brother obeys." Qin Lei said happily.

"Brother Qin Lei, you have made great contributions, and your achievements are in Sheji, if it weren't for you, this time our Great Qin and our royal family would be finished. Brother, I have prayed to my ancestors, praised you for your good life, and rewarded you well, as for what it is, you will know when the time comes. Now I will give you the three privileges of 'praising and worshipping without a name, entering the court without trending, and going to the palace with a sword', and then arrange a huge ceremony to enter the city to boost the prestige of our royal family. I know you don't like red tape, but you have to do special things during special times, so you just listen to Li Shangshu......"

"This, the younger brother obeys the order......"

On March 3 of the first year of God's blessing, butterflies flew all over the sky.

The people of Zhongdu got up before dawn, changed into new clothes made for the New Year, hastily ate a few bites of breakfast, and then took dry food, helped the old and the young, and the whole family set out. When I went to the street, I saw that there were so many people! But also, who doesn't want to see the pomp and circumstance of the triumphant victory of the army? Who wouldn't look forward to seeing the majesty of Prince Wucheng? People bustled outside the city, surrounding the spacious official road in an airtight air.

The crowd that can't see the end, can't see the edge, and it has been more than 30 miles to the east to reach the end, not that they don't want to go far, but further east, there is a golden armor royal forest guard, and they have the courage to come back in the past.
