Above the tower of the north gate of Shuozhou City, I saw a black army from a distance, rushing towards the direction of the city with billowing smoke and dust.

"It's them, lord, it's them!"

Su Dingfang was like a child, looking at the army in the distance with excitement on his face, but the worry in his eyes was relaxed.

Li Yuanba squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, waved his big hand, and said, "Pass the order and open the city gate!" ”

"Open the gates!"

One order after another was delivered, and the soldiers under the tower shouted, pushing open the north gate.

The army came in the dust, and one by one they had dark red blood stains on their bodies, and their eyes were red as if they had been stained with dye.

"The last general, Liu Renliang, the general of Shenwuwei, has seen the prince!"

"I've seen the prince!"

Just before arriving at the city gate, Liu Renliang took the lead in turning over and dismounting, and all the Shenwu Guard soldiers acted in unison, and performed a unique etiquette to Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba and the other Shenwu guards who stayed in the city returned the salute with solemn expressions.

"Renliang, brothers, thank you for your hard work!"

Looking at such brothers, Li Yuanba's voice was solemn.

"Lord ......"

Such iron-clad men, after hearing Li Yuanba's words, their eyes were full of tears ⊕ all of them.

"Okay, I'll talk about it later, now the brothers have gone home, so they should wash themselves well, and serve good wine and meat!"

Li Yuanba interrupted everyone's feelings and directly ordered the soldiers to take Liu Renliang and them into the city.

……

Speaking of which, in this campaign, the merits of Shenwuwei are really comparable to the sky, if there is no Shenwuwei, the consequences are really unpredictable.

Taishou Mansion is still the original lobby of Taishou Mansion, including Liu Renliang. All the generals of the rank of Shenwu Wei Zhonglang and above appeared here.

"Lord Wang, now that the war with Xue Yantuo's thieves is over, how do you think the next thing will be arranged?"

Su Dingfang and other Shenwu guards followed Li Yuanba across the battlefield, but they had already begun to miss their relatives at home.

Others may not ask Li Yuanba this question, but Su Dingfang and they didn't take this into account.

After all, although the war is now over, there is still a lot of work that must be done. However, the Shenwuwei army is a guard of its own, and it is very mobile, and there are some things that do not need them.

Because, for example, sending good news, reporting battle damage, and copying the list of meritorious people...... Li Ji and Li Jing don't know how many times they have done such things, but if this kind of thing is handed over to Li Yuanba, it will be a lot more troublesome.

Hearing Su Dingfang's question, Li Jing and Li Ji, who were sitting on a high seat on one side, also pricked up their ears. I'm going to hear what Li Yuanba will say.

"What can be arranged? It's nothing more than going back to their own homes and looking for their own mothers! What's the matter, do you still want to stay in Shuozhou City for the rest of your life? According to this king, catch Ming'er to trim it. I will return to Chang'an City the day after tomorrow! ”

After hearing Su Dingfang's words, Li Yuanba took a sip of his wine glass, and there was even a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Nima, don't hurry up after the battle. Lao Tzu still has a little wife waiting for Lao Tzu at home!

"Ah, I'll go back the day after tomorrow......"

Hearing Li Yuanba's words, Su Dingfang and the others hadn't said anything yet. However, Li Ji and the others all opened their mouths in surprise and looked at Li Yuanba in disbelief.

"What? What do you mean, isn't it possible that the king still has to stay here to deal with the aftermath of these thieves' grandchildren? ”

Li Yuanba saw the surprised faces of Li Ji and the others, and couldn't help but speak.

"No ......"

Li Ji hurriedly denied it and said, "I just didn't expect the prince to rush back in such a hurry!" ”

"There's so much you didn't expect!" Li Yuanba shrugged his shoulders and said, "There are still many things to do in this king's Chang'an City, if you waste all your time here, won't it be worth the loss?" ”

Li Jing, Li Ji, Niu Jinda, Cheng Yanjin and others all showed that they didn't believe you, but Li Yuanba didn't care.

Lao Tzu just has a lot of things, what can you do?

……

Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the third day.

Opening his somewhat tired eyelids again, Li Yuanba swept the surrounding environment, this is the inner hall of the Taishou Mansion, drunk for two consecutive days, Li Yuanba has also set a new record since he came to Datang.

This is also Li Yuanba's voluntariness, and after running around to fight for the first half of the month, it is still necessary to relax appropriately.

However, now is not the time to relax, right now, there is only one thought in his mind, and that is to go back to Chang'an, to the place that haunts his soul.

When he returned to Chang'an this time, Li Yuanba originally just planned to bring the 3,000 Shenwu guards who had stayed in Shuozhou City before, but as for Liu Renliang and them, Li Yuanba wanted to tell them to take a good rest before returning home.

And after a full day of repair, the Shenwuwei army led by Liu Renliang had regained its former energy and was in good spirits.

Although the 7,000 Shenwu guards who came over recently were all more or less injured, as soon as they heard that Li Yuanba was going back to Chang'an City, where could they care about whether they were injured or not, and it was the royal way to hurry back to the city.

Therefore, Li Yuanba was just ready to act, and when he appeared at the gate of the Taishou Mansion, he was blocked at the door by Liu Renliang and seven thousand Shenwu guards.

"Lord Wang, I am willing to return to Chang'an with you!"

Liu Renliang took a step forward and shouted loudly.

Li Yuanba looked at Liu Renliang with some helplessness, and said: "Renliang, most of the brothers in Weizhong are injured, if they are allowed to go back like this, it will inevitably make their families worried." In the eyes of this king......"

"Lord Xie cares, I don't care about the injuries on my body, I am willing to follow the prince to the death!"

Li Yuanba didn't finish his words, and the soldiers of the Shenwu Guard interrupted Li Yuanba's words.

Yes, it seems that these guys are determined to go back to Chang'an City today.

"Lord Wang, I think it's better to take these brothers back to Chang'an! Big deal, let's slow down the march! ”

In the end, Su Dingfang, who was still standing beside Li Yuanba, looked a little unbearable, and stepped forward and said.

Li Yuanba sighed and could only accept this fact.

"Lord Wang, the carriage and horses are ready......

At this moment, a defender of Shuozhou City hurried over. Respectfully saluted Li Yuanba.

"Well, I'm bothering you!" Li Yuanba came back to his senses, first thanked the little soldiers, and then said to Liu Renliang and the seven thousand army in front of him:

"Okay, if you want to go back, don't continue to pestle here, let this king see it upset, why don't you go back and pack up before leaving?"

"No!"

All the Shenwu guards responded excitedly, and hurriedly returned to the camp and began to pack up.

Because there was no need to hurry up for the return trip this time, Li Yuanba simply opened Xiaobai's restraints. Let it run away at will, and this thing won't dare to run away anyway.

As for himself, it was a rare time to enjoy it, and he deliberately snatched the account of the Yi lost man.

He put his pair of drums, urns, hammers, and swords in the tent. In addition, there are some gold and silver jewelry, jade and agate that were snatched from Aquila City.

These things are all the best of the fine products specially selected by Su Dingfang and others from the secret vault of Xue Yantuo King City, just the most inconspicuous small box of golden pearls. All have to be the size of a thumbnail cap.

Of course, in the secret vault of Xue Yantuo Royal City, there are still many gold and silver treasures, which are all war trophies. Except for a small amount of gold and silver that could be distributed to the soldiers, the rest had all been sealed and stored by Li Jing and others, and every item was registered, and it was impossible to be greedy or lost.

Sitting in a tent dragged by eight horses. Li Yuanba patted the wheel of the car and said, "Let's go!" ”

"Boom ......"

The chariot was driven by a soldier of the Shenwu Guard, who flicked his horsewhip violently. Pumped on the horses.

The eight horses neighed a few times, their hooves steadily moving forward.

In front, the two wings and the Shenwuwei army in the rear also moved, and a team of about 10,000 people slowly marched towards the official road leading to Chang'an City.

……

Just when the Shenwuwei army was moving away in the direction of Chang'an City, the high-level leaders of several armies such as Li Jing, Li Ji, Cheng Yanjin, and Niu Jinda stood on the high city wall, looking at the distant figure of the Shenwuwei army, and did not speak for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, when the figure of the Shenwuwei army gradually disappeared on the horizon, Li Jing suddenly said:

"Mao Gong, have you sent scouts to explore the hinterland of Xue Yantuo?"

Li Ji showed a look on his face that he knew that you would ask this question, and said, "I've been there, you can never imagine what the scouts have seen!" ”

"Old Dao, among us people, you are similar to the two old men of Fang Du, you love to sell everything, if you don't sell Guanzi, you can suffocate you, can you suffocate you?"

Cheng Yanjin almost rushed up and grabbed Li Ji's neck, throwing him off the city wall and falling to his death.

Your. Milk legs, do you really want to suffocate someone?

"Don't worry, I said you're in a hurry!"

In fact, Li Ji said this on purpose, he just wanted to see Cheng Yanjin's anxious appearance, after so many years, he had this little fun.

"Alright, old way! Tell me, I'm curious! ”

Niu Jinda and Cheng Yanjin's tempers are similar, and they are both impatient, so he can't wait for this.

Li Ji saw that the heat was almost over, and if he held it back, he would definitely be beaten hard, and hurriedly said:

"After General Liu returned to the city with the rest of the Shenwuwei army the day before yesterday, I sent several scout teams to the hinterland of Xue Yantuo to investigate the situation that night!"

When he said this, Li Ji paused slightly, and then his face became solemn:

However, when they began to enter the hinterland of Xueyantuo, they found that all the villages of Xueyantuo along the way were in ruins. Some tribes are even burning with fires, and it seems that no one in the tribe can survive anymore! (To be continued......)
