Shen Mo and Qi Jiguang rode side by side on the battlefield, their eyes full of soldiers of all ethnic groups embracing and celebrating, and high-spirited generals at all levels. Shen Mo discovered for the first time that the bloody battlefield would be so pleasant, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "Happy, happy, I have followed the battlefield so many times, and it is the most enjoyable to watch this time." ”

Qi Jiguang also laughed, but there was still a little loss in his smile: "Yes, after this battle, the anti-Japanese situation in the southeast will achieve a big turning point, the two armies will be transposed offensively and defensively, and victory can finally be expected." ”

Shen Mo could understand the young general's mood, patted his horse's head, and said softly: "Wang Zhi and Xu Hai's lair are all in the sea, if you want to destroy them, there is still a long way to go." He said with a smile and said, "Let's celebrate today, and let my colleagues see your Qi Yuanjing's demeanor." ”

Qi Jiguang smiled and said, "You are obviously ten years younger than me, but you always act like a big brother." ”

Shen Mo shook his head and smiled, but did not speak, because he saw Zhang Butang's handsome flag.

The two hurried over, turned over and dismounted, saluted, and said in unison: "Congratulations to Lord Xibutang, this is a miracle!" Zhang Jing smiled faintly: "Thank you." "But it is not pleasant to hear the voice.

Shen Mo looked up, if Qi Jiguang's smile was just mixed with a little loss, then the governor's smile was like a forced pretense.

"Humble words, accompany the old man." Zhang Jing also got off his horse and walked to the grass in the distance.

silently patted Qi Jiguang's arm, and quickly followed. Walking all the way to the river, Zhang Jingcai stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the rolling river, and was silent for a long time.

Waiting silently and quietly, the heart said, 'Sooner or later you have to speak.' Who knew that Zhang Jing stood by the river for two quarters of an hour before turning around, looking at him deeply, and a thousand words were combined into one sentence: "I believe in you." And he strode back.

Silent with sharp eyes, seeing Zhang Butang's eyes red, it seemed that he had just cried, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

The news of Wang Jiangjing's victory, as if with wings, spread quickly to the north and south of the river. The soldiers and civilians in the southeast were all overjoyed and wept with joy when they learned that no matter whether the officials and gentry were rich or poor, they all put up lanterns and celebrated all night, so that the incense, candles, lanterns, fireworks and firecrackers in the southern goods stores were all sold out overnight.

The people of the southeast who are in dire straits, looking forward to a day is really too hard, so the excitement in their hearts at this moment is no different from those soldiers who have returned triumphantly. Wherever the king went, the people all ate the pot pulp, welcomed them, and there were rich squires who offered countless wine, meat, gold and silver to reward the army...... And completely spontaneous.

This kind of treatment is something that no one has ever enjoyed, not to mention the newcomer of Shen Mo and Qi Jiguang, even Zhang Jing, who has led the troops to fight for half his life, is no exception, looking at the endless welcome team again and again, his eyes are moistened again and again, and after the war, some rickety backs gradually straightened up, and the leader returned to Hangzhou City with his head held high.

The celebration reached the first in Hangzhou, the people went out of the city for forty miles, wearing the stars and the moon to greet Zhang Dashuai and his victorious division, the ground was paved with loess, the pure water was sprinkled, and the firecrackers and gongs and drums sounded all the way, even the New Year was not so lively.

Who inside and outside Hangzhou doesn't want to see Zhang Dashuai's triumphant scenery? Tearing open his throat and shouting, "Good job! ”

It was nearly noon, and three cannons suddenly sounded on the tower of the city gate. The bell and drum tower immediately followed the bell and drum in unison, and the temples and Taoist temples in the city also responded together, singing and harmonizing with each other from afar. Almost at the same time, the corners on both sides of the road sounded in unison, and the military music played the military music of the victorious class.

Then there were 500 cavalrymen wearing helmets, armor, and cloaks, holding swords and steeds, and marching from a distance with their chests and bellies, and 500 horses and 2,000 horses' hooves were densely dotted on the ground, and the road made of new loess was trembling.

The common people raised their heads and stared intently, only to see that as soon as the cavalry passed, the honor guard of the army appeared. Eighty big men in the shape of a man, holding a military flag with a curved lid and a golden lock, waited for a variety of honor guards to come over, and they were dazzling...... The common people only know how to applaud, and they don't know what they are all for.

When the guard of honor passed, sixteen thousand officers dressed in mountain armor walked over with a heavy chariot. The flag in the car is more than two zhang high, with a blue background and crimson tassels, hunting and fluttering under the fierce words, and nine big yellow characters are written on it: "Qin ordered Zhang, the military governor of the southeast!" ”

Then the literacy read it out loud, and now everyone understood, and no one commanded, and spontaneously saluted to the big flag.

Surrounded by a group of civil and military officials, Governor Zhang, who was dressed in a second-grade red official uniform, had an abnormally ruddy complexion. He looked in front of him, and the battle flag was covered; Looking around, Jin Ge is brilliant. At this moment, thousands of riders followed him, surrounded him, and guarded him. The surrounding crowds of people fell to him like wheat fields, throwing their bodies to the ground, not daring to look up.

Fragrant flowers and wine, looking at the dust and dancing, this scenery, this pomp, this extraordinary glory, who has ever had Wenchen since ancient times?

Although the surroundings were extremely noisy, he could still clearly hear his violent heartbeat, and the haze that had been entrenched in his heart was finally dissipated, and he let out a long roar in his heart: "Life must be happy, don't let the beauty of the good day be in vain!" 'If the husband can have this time in this life, why is it a pity to die?'

Thinking of this, he smiled, and said with a long smile: "Everyone is loved, please hurry up!" So he led his army into the city.

The triumphant procession was still entering the city, and the crowd was cheering and celebrating, and no one noticed that a few men who were dressed ordinarily but exuded a gloomy aura quietly left the bystanders. Walking until the voices became smaller, one of the voices said, "Governor Zhang is really beautiful." ”

"I'm afraid I'm just sitting on the stove." A young man said in a straight Yanjing dialect, and asked the Jinyi man who looked like the leader in the middle: "Ninth Master, what should we do now, do you want to arrest someone?" ”

The ninth master was a man of ordinary stature, and when he saw that he was far away from the crowd, he took off his hat, revealing a fair and clean face. If it weren't for the terrible scar from the corner of his eye to his mouth, he would be no different from the teacher in the private school. He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Let's wait a little longer, Governor Zhang has won a big victory that has not been won in several years, who knows if it is a life-saving straw and a thirst-quenching rain?" ”

Everyone nodded and said, "Yes, in case we just put people in chains here, and the holy decree of reward comes again, we can remarry the little widow, and we are not human inside and out." "Although they are unscrupulous and terrifying, as long as Zhang Jing does not fall, dealing with them is as simple as pinching an ant to death.

The Ninth Master slowly put on the hat and said in a deep voice: "I believe that the Governor will give instructions soon." So he went into the city from the other side with some of his men.

There is a way for a few families to be happy and a few to be sad, and if there is a happy one, there must be a loss, for example, Zhao Wenhua and Zhao Shilang, at this moment, should have led the officials left behind to greet the triumphant victory of the army outside the city gate, but now he is lying on the bed weakly, with a wet towel on his forehead.

The delicate Luo Longwen sat on the side, reached out to touch the towel, and found that it had been hot on Zhang Wenhua's forehead, so he fished out another one from the basin and changed it for him.

The cold feeling stimulated Zhao Wenhua's brain, he opened his eyes slowly, his eyes were full of bloodshot and eye feces, and his voice was hoarse: "At this hour, they should hold a celebration banquet, right?" ”

Luo Longwen's heart sank, and he forced a smile: "Maybe." ”

"They didn't ask me about the prison guard, why didn't they go?" Zhao Wenhua asked faintly.

In fact, people didn't ask, no one wants to let a fly block this big joy. Luo Longwen had no choice but to lie: "I asked, I said that you are bedridden and can't participate." ”

"Haha......" Zhao Wenhua smiled weakly: "They must think that ...... I'm lying, my surname is Zhao and I don't have the face to go......" Because he was a little excited, he coughed violently.

Luo Longwen hurriedly gave Zhao Shilang a good breath, and comforted him: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and there will be opportunities in the future." ”

Zhao Wenhua lay on his back on the pillow and gasped: "If Zhang Jing is allowed to sit firmly this time, I will be the first one to clean up with his free hands!" As he spoke, his eyes widened, and he actually supported himself to get up, pointed to the door and said, "Go, call Hu Ruzhen back, no matter what he is doing, let him come back!" ”

Luo Longwen said sourly: "Lord Hu is the hero of this time, now I can't say that he is being surrounded by people, so let's wait for the banquet to disperse." ”

Zhao Wenhua was enraged, he threw the pillow, quilt, and towel to the ground, and screamed: "You go and tell him that you won't come now, and you will never come back!" ”

Before the words fell, I heard the report of the housekeeper outside the door: "Master, Master Hu is here." ”

Zhao Wenhua heard the fairy sound, as if he was cured of his illness all of a sudden. He didn't wear shoes either, so he ran out barefoot, hugging Hu Zongxian, who rushed back with wind and dust, laughed and said: "Ruzhen, Ruzhen, I, Zhao Wenhua, will never fail you in my life." ”

Hu Zongxian pushed him away without a trace, and said softly: "The younger brother heard that my brother is sick, hurry back and take a look." ”

Zhao Wenhua nodded and smiled: "I was about to die of illness, but as soon as you come back, I will be fine." ”

Hu Zongxian squeezed out a smile and said: "Brother don't worry about Zhang Butang, the younger brother has made some small achievements this time, and he must always try to be considerate of you." ”

Zhao Wenhua shook his head and sneered: "Yanjing has not yet arrived with the holy decree, and it is unknown who will kill the deer!" When he said this, a one-eyed fat face appeared in his heart, and he said, 'Brother Donglou, Brother Donglou, whether you can turn things upside down and turn the tables in the end depends on your ability......
