With the arrival of the blizzard, after the Western Xia army defeated the Song army, seeing that the wind and snow were coming, they finally withdrew from Gyeongju and returned to the territory of Western Xia, and the battle between Song and Western Xia finally came to an end.

"The Western Xia army has finally retreated." In the command post of the Gyeongju military camp, Yang Wenguang sat by the brazier, turned the charcoal in the brazier, and said to Zhao Lei.

"Yes! The Western Xia army has completed the task of revenge, two ambushes, let me lose face in the Great Song Dynasty, I heard that the official family has a big temper, I am afraid that after the Western Xia army retreats, the generals of Gyeongju and even the entire Yongxing army will have to make a big move. Zhao Lei sighed and said that he also had a brazier in his hand, and there were several iron bars wearing mutton on the brazier, and Zhao Lei's hand also put cumin, chili pepper and other seasoning powders.

"Brother Zhao Lei! Is this lamb skewer really as delicious as you say? Yang Jinhua sat curiously next to the brazier, looked at Zhao Lei's roasted lamb skewers and asked.

Zhao Lei looked at the delicate and cute Yang Jinhua with a smile, saw that the mutton skewers in his hands were almost edible, picked up the hot mutton skewers, and first gave Yang Jinhua a bunch, and then distributed them to Xiao Ruoruo, Yang Wenguang and Di Qing in the command post.

"Taste! Tastes good. Zhao Lei finished dividing the mutton skewers and said to a few people around him with a smile.

Yang Jinhua smelled the fragrance of the mutton skewers, her appetite was wide, she took a bite carefully, and sure enough, her mouth was full of fragrance, and she finished eating the mutton skewers in her hand with a big smile, and then looked at Zhao Lei's hand before she had time to eat the skewers.

"This one is for you too. I'll bake it again! Zhao Lei looked at Yang Jinhua dotingly, handed her the mutton skewer in his hand and said.

"Delicious!" Yang Jinhua hurriedly took the mutton skewer in Zhao Lei's hand, for fear that others would rob her, and soon swallowed the long string in her stomach, and then licked her lips and said.

Zhao Lei watched Xiao Ruoruo and the three of them finish eating mutton skewers, and continued to grill mutton skewers and said to Di Qing: "General Di! This official has recommended you to succeed you as the defense envoy of Gyeongju. The official document of the privy envoy has arrived, and there is no need to hand over this kind of thing, you can no longer understand the Gyeongju army, think about what else you need, and what can the official help. ”

Di Qing, who had been prepared for this, heard the news, thanked Zhao Lei without being arrogant or humble, pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "My lord has laid a good foundation for the Gyeongju Army these days, and there is no need for other things, as long as the regulations of the adults are done, the combat effectiveness of the Gyeongju Army will definitely have room for improvement, and the final general will live up to the trust of the adults." ”

"The Gyeongju cavalry still has a long way to go if they want to compete with the cavalry of the Western Xia and the Liao State. It is estimated that the problem of war horses is difficult to solve, and the Western Xia and Liao will never sell the best war horses to the Great Song Dynasty, and the high-grade war horses produced by the Great Song Dynasty are too scarce, and without the high-quality war horses, the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty will never be able to catch up with the cavalry of the Western Xia and Liao. So General Di Qing focused on the shortcomings of the Gyeongju army! Zhao Lei instructed Di Qing carefully.

"By the way, my lord, I heard that the imperial court is going to expand the army of the two states of Huanqing. To defend against the invasion of Western Xia, is there really such a thing! Di Qing suddenly asked Zhao Lei curiously.

"Not bad! There is such a thing, Huanzhou and Gyeongju are close to Western Xia, and the troops are too weak, so the official family decided to select soldiers from the Yongxing army to supplement the two armies of Huanju and Gyeongju, and it is possible that the armies of these two states will be expanded to the size of 10,000 people. Zhao Lei looked at Di Qing and said indifferently.

"Ten thousand!" Yang Wenguang heard Zhao Lei's words and looked at Di Qing with envy, since he joined the army, he has not led an army of 10,000 people!

to Yang Wenguang's gaze. Zhao Lei smiled slightly, smiled at Yang Wenguang and said, "General Yang! The official has already been appointed to the official family, asking General Yang to take up the post of defense envoy of Huanzhou, and at the same time to implement the reform of the official land to change the status quo of the Huanzhou army. ”

"Really!" Yang Wenguang looked at Zhao Lei in surprise and said, happy is easy to tidy up, after all, leading the troops to fight, leading the army to serve the country is his greatest wish.

"Not bad! I heard that the official family has promised that the official letter of the Privy Council will arrive in Gyeongju soon. Zhao Lei looked at Yang Wenguang with a smile and said.

"Thank you, sir!" Yang Wenguang said very gratefully.

"No, it won't! In this way, wouldn't my brother return to Bianjing and go to Huanzhou. Yang Jinhua, who was staring at the mutton skewers in Zhao Lei's hand, heard the conversation between the two, and hurriedly raised her head and said in surprise.

"Not bad! If the official letter from the Privy Council arrives, General Yang will definitely not be able to return to Bianjing. Zhao Lei said with a smile to Yang Jinhua.

"Brother can't return to Bianjing, Jinhua, you're going to go to Huanzhou with your brother!" Or go back to Bianjing with the adults? Yang Wenguang looked at his sister Yang Jinhua and asked with concern.

When Yang Jinhua heard this embarrassing question, she looked at her brother Yang Wenguang, and Zhao Lei, who was concentrating on grilling mutton skewers, suddenly blushed, lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "I miss home, I still will go to Bianjing, I heard that my sister-in-law is about to give birth, and I have to go back to take care of the baby!" ”

Hearing Yang Jinhua's answer, Yang Wenguang couldn't help but feel a little distressed, he looked at his sister Yang Jinhua looking at Zhao Lei's affectionate gaze, how could he not understand his sister's thoughts, but between Zhao Lei and his sister, there are too many problems, after all, the Yang family is also a figure with a face in Bianjing, marrying Zhao Lei as a concubine, this kind of thing may attract criticism, two people want to combine, it is not so easy to do, unless Zhao Lei takes a break from the Yuan Pei Tian family, but with Yang Wenguang's understanding of Zhao Lei, he knows Zhao Lei's feelings for Yuan Pei Tian Lan who is far away in Meishan, This kind of thing is divorced, Zhao Lei will not do it no matter what.

Zhao Lei concentrated on the barbecue, and Yang Jinhua looked at Zhao Lei shyly and tenderly, Yang Wenguang shook his head, a little worried about his sister Yang Jinhua's future emotional fate.

"By the way, General Xiao, you bring the books that the official is looking for." Zhao Lei suddenly said to Xiao Ruoruo.

Hearing Zhao Lei's words, Xiao Ruoruo agreed and walked to the side hall of the command post and took out a few neatly bound books.

"Here, General Di. These books are for you, courage and strategy is the way of a famous general, read more of these books, it will definitely be good for you to lead troops in battle in the future. Zhao Lei handed the books to Di Qing and said.

With military books such as "The Left Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period", "The Art of War", and "The Thirteen Articles of the Art of War" in his hand, Di Qing looked at Zhao Lei gratefully and nodded vigorously.

Soon. The official letter of the Privy Council went down to the Gyeongju military camp, Di Qing took over Zhao Lei's position and became the new Gyeongju defense envoy, and Yang Wenguang will also go to serve as the Huanzhou defense envoy, and Zhao Lei, with Yang Jinhua and Xiao Ruoruo, the two sisters in the army, as well as Zhu Dali, Zhao Ming and Fan Quan, began to set off to return to Bianjing, the long-lost land.

……

On a cold winter and snowy day, the world is crystal clear. However, on the official road of the Great Song Dynasty, it became a piece of mud, and the ice and snow were destroyed by pedestrians who passed and destroyed its beautiful existence, turning into cold snow and water mixed with the loess on the official road, turning the official road of the Great Song Dynasty into a piece of mud.

Gyeongju is on the official road leading to Segyeong Changan. Pedestrians are scarce, and in the cold winter, the people of the Great Song Dynasty are blocked at home, and as the New Year is approaching, pedestrians are becoming more and more rare.

Da-da-da-da! Above the official road. The sound of horses' hooves spread all over the world, and Zhao Lei and his party rode more than 20 times, heading towards the Weishui ferry like a swift wind.

Scarce pedestrians on official roads. Seeing Zhao Lei and his party, they immediately hid far away, in the winter, no one was willing to accept the baptism of mud and ice water.

In the tea shed of Weishui Ferry, Zhao Lei sat in it with a sigh, looking at the Weishui that was not far away and the water was not frozen.

"Remember! A few months ago, the official was here to observe the sky at night, and now the Yellow River is flooding, and the official family was notified. Zhao Lei pointed to the big boat ferrying in Weishui Ferry. said with a wry smile to Xiao Ruoruo and Yang Jinhua beside him.

"Of course, I remember that when we went out of Beijing, there were more than 100 people in our group! Now that they're back, there's only so few people left. Xiao Ruoruo looked at Zhu Dali and the others brought back by Zhao Lei around him, and said with a smile.

"General Di Qing was originally going to send a cavalry battalion to escort us back, but the official refused, five hundred people will spend a lot of time and silver taels when they come for a while, so let them train well! In the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the official is not afraid of someone cutting the path. Zhao Lei looked at the rolling east to Weishui and said with a smile.

"I'm finally going back to Bianjing, my brother and General Di Qing have been promoted, I don't know how the official family will reward Zhao Lei's brother?" Yang Jinhua said with a cute frown.

"It is estimated that the official position will not be promoted too much, after all, I still have the second-grade high position of the prince and the prince, even if the actual position is promoted, it is estimated that it will be the fourth grade, and there will be no change, but this kind of thing will definitely be very generous, and the hundred officials will not stop it." Zhao Lei pondered for a while, and said the answer he had been thinking about for a long time indifferently.

"It's still four products! What kind of official position will it be? Is he still in charge of the two cases of salt and iron? Yang Jinhua continued to ask curiously.

"The ferry is coming, don't talk about it, when you get to Bianjing, won't you see everything!" Zhao Lei drank the tea in the toast in one gulp, asked Xiao Ruoruo to drop some broken silver, took more than 20 horses, got on the boat and went straight to Xijing Station.

……

As soon as Zhao Lei and his entourage came to Xijing Station, they immediately saw a group of post guards and post station officials standing at the gate of the post station with respectful faces.

"The crown prince and the prince Zhao Lei, Lord Zhao! Xia Guan has been waiting for a long time. The official at the front of the waiting group of people saw Zhao Lei on the horse, and immediately ran over and said respectfully.

When it came to the respectful post officials, Zhao Lei was confused, he really didn't understand why these post officials were so stubborn about him.

With Zhao Lei's puzzled face, the post station official hurriedly explained: "Lord Zhao doesn't know yet!" The official family has issued an edict to the post stations from Qingzhou to Bianjing, and they want to entertain Lord Zhao according to the standards of the prince, and the official family has already held a banquet in Bianjing, waiting to celebrate Lord Zhao's achievements, and is also preparing to personally welcome Lord Zhao who has returned victoriously at Fengqiu Gate in the north of Bianjing! ”

The official family wants to personally greet himself who returns to Bianjing in Fengqiumen, why! It's just that to defeat the 5,000 Qiang army and the 2,000 Xixia army, you don't need to work so hard! Is this glory so easy to get! Zhao Lei was confused, and couldn't understand why the official Zhao Zhen attached so much importance to this victory.

Zhao Lei was full of doubts, stayed at the Xijing Post Station for one night, and then hurried up and returned to Bianjing quickly, wanting to know what happened in Bianjing, so that the official Zhao Zhen treated Zhao Lei, a courtier with a little credit, with such fanfare.

……

Zhao Lei took Xiao Ruoruo and Yang Jinhua and his party to Bianjing quickly, but as soon as he arrived in the north of Bianjing, far away, he saw a grand welcome scene, at least 50,000 officials and people lined up in a long line, looking eagerly at Zhao Lei and others on the way back.

Why, exactly? Zhao Lei looked at the familiar Violet Tianhua Gai and the Imperial Throne in front of the greeting team, and thought even more suspiciously.
