Chapter 122: Triumphant Return
A huge army stretched for hundreds of miles and galloped in the direction of Seoul. Xiao He, www.biquge.info Xiao He, with Cao Shen, Shen Wansan, Yu Wenkai and Seoul officials, stood outside the city gate in anticipation.
Zhao Wuming's figure riding a war horse gradually became clear, followed by Zhang Liang, Han Xin and other generals.
Xiao He and the others saw Zhao Wuming riding a war horse and bowed: "Welcome the triumphant return of the lord."
"Greetings to the triumphant return of the city lord". The Seoul officials hurriedly bowed and shouted in unison.
As soon as Zhao Wuming pulled the reins, the war horse stopped, and then the army stopped moving forward: "Everyone, please get up."
"Thank you, the lord of the city". Xiao He led all the officials to stand up straight.
Zhao Wuming turned his head to look behind him, Han Xin and other generals: "Settle the army to the barracks."
"No". Han Xin and other generals received orders on their horses, and led their troops from the rest of the city gates to the direction of the barracks.
Seeing the soldiers entering the city in an orderly manner, Zhao Wuming turned over and dismounted: "During this time of loneliness, Seoul is good."
"Everything is as usual, now that the war is over, will we immediately send officials to accept the tribes of the central steppe?" Xiao He asked Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming nodded slightly: "This place is not a place to discuss politics, when the army is settled, immediately go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss matters."
"No". Xiao He bowed, and then turned his head to look at the officials.
As if ordered to do so, the officers left to help the generals settle the soldiers.
Zhao Wuming saw that the officials had dispersed, so he immediately turned over and got on his horse, patted his horse, and galloped away in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
The cheers in the city continued, and Zhao Wuming didn't stay too long, and he arrived at the city lord's mansion after a short time.
Strange to say, for some reason, the system did not prompt the battlefield status to be lifted. Could it be that there is something else going on here? Thinking of this, Zhao Wuming stepped into the city lord's mansion with one foot, and immediately looked at a family member: "Do you know where the right virtuous king of the Huns is."
"The lord of Qiqi, the right king of the Huns is in the mansion, in the east wing." The family hurriedly replied.
After listening to this, Zhao Wuming walked directly to the east wing.
In the east wing, the right sage king of the Huns held a bamboo slip and watched carefully, Zhao Wuming was slightly stunned when he saw it, and then bowed down: "Zhao Wuming, the lord of Hancheng, has seen the right sage king."
"Luan Tilou has seen the city lord, and the prisoners under the stairs can't afford to be the city lord's gift." Luan Tilou put down the bamboo slip and stood up from his seat and saluted Zhao Wuming in return.
Zhao Wuming smiled: "King Xian, you can live in the city during this time."
"If you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, how can you be unstable." Luan Tilou didn't seem to hear the words, and replied to Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming didn't care: "The right general's department has surrendered, and now the central grassland belongs to my Hancheng, I don't know how King Xian feels."
"The surrender of the right general?". Luan Tilou was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had misheard.
Zhao Wuming explained to Luan Tilou: "There is no grain and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside. The families of 150,000 soldiers are in the hands of our army. The right general didn't want to surrender, but it was a pity that his subordinates admonished him and did nothing about it."
"Soldiers? The arrival of the city lord shouldn't be just to show off his martial arts." Luan Tilou recovered from his stunned stupor and asked Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming didn't say anything else, and went straight to the point: "I don't know if King Xian's letter has been sent to the royal court."
"Calculate the time and reply should be almost up." A confident smile appeared on the corner of Luan Tilou's mouth, and he hurriedly came for this matter.
Zhao Wuming made up his mind: "The right general is outside the city, if King Xian wants to go to him to catch up with the past, you can go to the outer city to find him."
"This king happens to be fine, I don't know if the city lord can send someone to take this king to find the right general." Luan Tilou heard Zhao Wuming mention the right general, and his heart moved slightly.
Zhao Wuming nodded, and ordered outside: "Come here, take the right sage king to the outer city, and look for the right general."
"No". The two guards walked in, bowed to Zhao Wuming, and then pointed outside.
Luan Tilou understood, turned around and followed the guards outside.
The sound of footsteps came, and Sun Buer hurriedly walked over, holding a bamboo slip in his hand: "The lord, the Hun national book."
"National Letters?". Zhao Wuming was stunned for a moment, hurriedly opened the bamboo slip, and showed a surprised gaze for a long time: "The Xiongnu envoy has already arrived outside the city?"
"More than 100 Xiongnu envoys are outside the city." Sun Buji replied to Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming was just about to speak, when footsteps sounded again, and a personal guard walked over: "The prime minister, the general and others are now waiting in the government affairs hall."
"Lone will go to the government affairs hall now." Zhao Wuming picked up the bamboo slip and walked in the direction of the government affairs hall.
As soon as I walked into the government affairs hall, I saw Xiao He, Han Xin and others, standing on both sides.
Zhao Wuming sat on the throne and looked at everyone with a puzzled look.
"The lord and the Hun envoys have arrived, I don't know how we should arrange them." Xiao He saw that Zhao Wuming was puzzled, and immediately asked.
Zhao Wuming thought for a while, and looked at Lan Zhengqing: "I heard you say that you are a member of the Xiongnu Lan clan, I don't know if it's true."
"The last general is the side branch of the Lan family." Lan Zhengqing heard the inquiry and replied respectfully.
Zhao Wuming opened the bamboo slip in his hand again: "The Xiongnu State Book says that this envoy is a person from the Lan family. Lone is very curious, what is the status of the Lan clan in the Xiongnu clan."
"The three major families of Huyan, Xubu, and Lan are huge, and they often marry the Luan Ti clan of the Shan Yu family. Therefore, the status of these three families in the clan is second only to the Luan Ti clan." Lan Zhengqing slowly explained to Zhao Wuming.
Xiao He listened and thought about it, and couldn't help but interject and ask: "Among the Xiongnu clan, in addition to the three major families of Huyan, Xubu, and Lan, are there any other wealthy families?"
"No, except for these three families, the rest of the people dare not call themselves wealthy." Lan Zhengqing shook his head and explained to Xiao He.
Zhao Wuming put away the bamboo slips and looked at Lan Zhengqing: "In this way, your status among the Huns is still relatively high."
"Although the last general was born in the Lan family, he was a side branch, and his mother was originally a Zhao daughter who was paid tribute to Shan Yu by Lou Fu, and Shan Yu was transferred to my father. My father passed away a year ago, and the eldest son took my father's place and married my mother. He was afraid that I would hold a grudge, and then my brother. kicked me into this central grassland, and threatened my mother with my life and death." Although Lan Zhengqing said it very plainly, he couldn't hide the anger in his heart.
Zhao Nu? Zhao Wuming suddenly had a sense of affection for Lan Zhengqing: "You said that your mother is a woman from Zhao State."
"My mother is an ordinary woman in Zhao Guodai County, and she could have lived happily. But because of Lou Fu, he went south and was taken captive to the north. My brother was against me at every turn, and a year ago he forcibly took my mother on the grounds of ancestry. This matter is regarded as a great shame by the general." Lan Zhengqing tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and explained to Zhao Wuming.
Listening to this grievance, Zhao Wuming made a decision in his heart: "Lone is a Zhao person, since your mother is the same clan as Lone, it is better for you to replace Lone and take over the Hun envoys."
"No". Lan Zhengqing bowed to Zhao Wuming, turned around and walked outside. Zhao Ren? I didn't expect the city lord to be a Zhao person, it turned out that this was a country of Zhao people. Thinking of his mother, he also has a sense of identity with Seoul.
