Chapter 55 Triumphant Return to Beijing
Looking back at the men and horses had all arrived at the Hun camp, a "kill" sounded, and the Daqi soldiers swung their knives to kill the Hun Tartars, Yang Xuan heard the shouting of killing, and rushed over with all the men and horses.
Eaton came out of the tent, saw the Great Qi army attacking inside and outside, and knew that the general situation had gone to lead people to flee to the northwest, Mu Chenmo and Yang Xuan converged, and organized a crossbow team to chase until dawn, and completely expelled the Huns from the territory of Great Qi.
The jade gate closed the main account, and as soon as Mu Chenmo came in, he saw Yang Xuan nodding and following behind Qi Yu, Qi Yu was full of impatience and perfunctory, raised his eyebrows and sat directly on the chair above and said.
"The Xiongnu have been repulsed, can General Yang and General Li arrange all matters at the border?"
The two of them got up and clasped their fists: "The return general has been arranged." ”
Mu Chenmo got up and looked at everyone: "Rectify the army and return to Beijing in three days." ”
Everyone dispersed, and Qi Yu followed Mu Chenmo to the county government courtyard, saying as he walked.
"Mu Chenmo, you were full of momentum in the handsome tent just now, if it weren't for your face being too young, you would definitely look like a general."
Mu Chenmo, who was walking in front, had black lines on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched, what do you mean by being like a general, am I good, don't praise people if you don't know how to praise people.
As soon as he entered the small courtyard, a fragrance wafted into Mu Chenmo's nose, and he glanced at Qi Yu, only to see that this thing was smiling so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and he was a little puzzled in his heart.
"What does it smell so good?" Mu Chenmo didn't resist the fragrance, inhaled it twice, and asked.
Following the fragrance to the side courtyard, I saw a lamb roasted on the shelf of the fire, a cook-like person sprinkled the material and turned it, and the little third son put the roasted meat on the table and bowed down.
When the two sat down, they saw Qi Yu holding a wine jug in one hand and a wine jug in the other, filling the wine cup with a soft eye, holding a glass and saying.
"Respect, dead soldiers and people."
Qi Yu got up and slowly spilled the wine in the cup on the ground, and Mu Chenmo followed.
"Erjing, I will always be prosperous."
After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, Mu Chenmo sat opposite and drank the wine without saying a word.
Qi Yu got up and poured the wine full: "Three respects, General Mu is victorious." After speaking, he touched Mu Chenmo's wine cup, raised his head and drank it.
Looking at Qi Yu, who was as warm as jade at this time, Mu Chenmo's heart was in a trance, and he drank the third glass of wine with his eyes full of intoxication, full of the feeling that everyone was drunk without being drunk.
The two were eating barbecue and drinking wine, chatting in the mountains and the north and south, and Mu Chenmo listened to Qi Yu talking about the beautiful scenery and customs of Daqi, and his heroic preaching.
"If one day I let go of the burden of this body, I will definitely go all over this great river and mountain." A wine burp and said with a silly smile: "Eat all the food in the world." ”
The sound became smaller and smaller, and with a bang, the wine cup fell to the ground, and the person also fell to the table, and more than a dozen wine jugs were thrown on the ground, Qi Yu staggered to his feet, pushed the person lying on the table, and said.
"Hey, get up and drink, don't get drunk and don't come home."
The man lying on his stomach shook with his movements, and his mouth waved his hand like a fly.
The third son wanted to step forward to help, but he saw his own prince holding General Mu and staggering towards the house, and he wondered a little in his heart, these two people are not incompatible, how can they be like one person now.
He had never seen his prince come so bothered to come over for anyone, looking for a cook to roast sheep, pouring wine to celebrate, and personally helping people.
Ten Mile Pavilion
The emperor's dragon has stopped here for an hour, and Gonggong Cao bowed down, reporting to the emperor with a smile on his face like a flower.
"Long live the lord, the army is less than ten miles away from us."
When the emperor heard this, he happily put down the white jade cup in his hand: "Go and send someone to tell Lao Qi and Mu Chenmo, and say that I am here to welcome the triumphant return of the soldiers." ”
As he spoke, he saw that the banner of Zhengbei had appeared on the horizon, several horses were galloping quickly, and in a blink of an eye, people were in front of him, turned over, dismounted and knelt down to hug his fists.
"Long live the emperor, the ministers will live up to the sage, and finally drive out the Hun Tartars and recover the land of Daqi."
The emperor said three good things in a row, helped everyone up, and ordered Mu Chenmo and others to arrange the affairs of the army, and reward them for their merits tomorrow morning.
The emperor beckoned to Qi Yu, Qi Yu glanced at Mu Chenmo and walked forward and saluted.
"Son-in-law, see father."
"I'm dark and thin, but I'm more manly than when I was in Beijing, and I've grown a lot after watching this experience." The emperor looked Qi Yu up and down and said with relief.
looked at the crowd in the dust: "Okay, let's disperse, old seven, go with me." ”
The dragon drove away slowly, and after Mu Chenmo and Yang Xuan and Li Meng said goodbye, they rushed towards the direction of the General's Mansion non-stop.
In the palace of the great general of the country, Mu Mu kept looking and looking, and said uncontrollably.
"Didn't you say that you have arrived at Shili Pavilion, why haven't you come back yet?"
Mu Chenyue hurriedly comforted her mother: "Mother, you sit down and drink tea first, and I heard the housekeeper say that the emperor greeted the triumphant soldiers in the Shili Pavilion, and it is estimated that you will have to wait for a while." ”
After listening to Mu Chenyue's words, Mu Mu kept commanding the maids, asking them to go to the kitchen to see how the food was prepared, and then asking them to see if the bathing water was boiling.
"Madam, the young master is back."
When Mu Mu heard this, she quickly stood up and walked out, and before she left the main hall, she saw Mu Chenmo walking quickly, her eyes were red, she hugged Mu Chenmo, and kept shouting my son.
Looking at Mu Mu, who was so excited, Mu Chenmo comforted her well before giving up, hearing that Mu Chenmo was going to enter the palace tomorrow, Mu Mu hurriedly arranged for her to rest early.
Throne room
The emperor sat on the dragon chair, looked at the ministers below with a bright look and said.
"The Northern Army defeated the Huns and returned triumphantly, I am very pleased in my heart, and today I want to reward the meritorious deeds and reward the officers and soldiers of the three armies."
There was a slight pause: "Mu Aiqing, let's talk about how you drove out the Hun Tartars." ”
When Yang Xuan heard this, he was unwilling to be born and die for the country for thirty years, could he let this yellow-haired boy take all the credit today.
Hurry out: "Your Majesty, the old minister sells an old face and comes to tell you about ......"
Mu Chenmo's legs were retracted, and he shrank aside as a quail, thinking about this kind of showy thing, who likes to do it, he doesn't want to do it anyway, hehe, look at what this old guy will say about his glorious deeds.
Just listened to Yang Xuan's talk in that mouth, the more he listened to Mu Chenmo's face, the darker it became, okay, I said, how can this old guy move forward by himself, he insisted on licking his face and talking, I thought he was just in the limelight, but I didn't expect this mouth to be so black that it could be said to be white, the whole reversal of right and wrong, nonsense.
"You old horseman, you really rely on the old and sell the old." Qi Yu walked to the hall and pointed at Yang Xuan's nose and scolded.
Yang Xuan saw that Qi Yu stood up and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he wanted to keep pleasing himself all the way, sending food and fun, serving well, and feeding the white-eyed wolf with all the money he spent.
Qi Yu glanced at him with disdain and said.
"You use your body as a bait to lure the enemy deep in, if it weren't for you, this battle would not have been won? General Yang, you are not afraid that the wind will flash your tongue, and you dare to deceive today's saints. ”
After speaking, he knelt down: "Father, please be aware and don't chill the hearts of the soldiers." ”
The emperor's face sank, looking at the two kneeling below, and said to Mu Chenmo.
"Mu Aiqing, you say!"
"Your Majesty, this victory is all due to the Seventh Prince, if it weren't for his surprise army, the minister would have given up Yumen Pass and retreated to Dunhuang County."
As soon as Qi Yu heard Mu Chenmo's words, he reached out and pulled down the hem of his clothes, Mu Chenmo glanced down, and saw Qi Yu squeezing his eyebrows and shaking his head at himself.
The emperor looked at Qi Yu puzzled: "Old Seven, where did you come from and what tricks did you use?" ”
Qi Yu just wanted to speak, and the emperor said to Mu Chenmo.
"Chenmo, you say, I don't believe in other people."
Qi Yu's heart was in his throat, and he used all kinds of methods to hint at Mu Chenmo and not push him out.
Mu Chenmo secretly glanced at Qi Yu and said to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, those 500 people were allocated to the Seventh Prince by the ministers to protect the safety of the prince, and they came back from training outside on the day of the siege, so that they could defeat the Huns together."
Qi Yu put his mind at ease, secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and thought to himself, this Mu Chenmo is too upright, so sooner or later he will have to be eaten without bones, and he has to mention him more when he sees himself.
