As Chinese New Year's Eve approached, even the howling cold wind in the north could not stop the pursuit of beauty among the Han people, and Hexi City gradually fell into a festive atmosphere.

According to the good news reported back yesterday, the troops of the four expeditions will be able to rush back at about noon today. Therefore, Wang Jun ordered the preparation of ingredients and wine from yesterday to hold a celebration banquet for the army returning from today's victory.

After finishing all the government affairs in the morning, Wang Jun, who saw that the time was about the same, took Huang Zhong, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin and the rest of the guards out of the city gate to greet Guan Yu and others.

The sun climbed above the head of Hexi, and a pile of black shadows shook on the horizon in the distance, and as the distance got closer and closer, everyone saw a group of cattle, sheep, horses and other cattle that could not see the edge, followed by rows of Huns tied together with hemp rope.

At the end, there were four banners of "Guan", "Zhang", "Zhao" and "Dian", and a group of Han soldiers rode on the giant beasts one after another, and slowly walked back with a bang.

Soon the various departments arrived in Hexi City, and Guan Yu and others came to worship Wang Jun.

Everyone turned over and got off the dinosaur, walked in front of Wang Jun, knelt down on one knee in unison, raised the talisman above their heads, and said in unison: "Lord Yu, subordinate Guan Yu (Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei) returned with victory, and I am here to give orders." ”

Wang Jun nodded, stretched out his hand to take the tiger talisman, and helped the four of them up one by one, and said, "Okay, this official has already set up a celebration banquet in the city, and all the soldiers will enter with this official." ”

The four of them responded in unison: "No." ”

Then Wang Jun took the lead to return to the city, Guan Yu and others followed step by step, followed by Tyrannosaurus rex, Allosaurus, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus and so on.

The people of the city stood on both sides of the street, looking at the dinosaurs like giant beasts, and immediately talked about it.

A white-bearded old man in the crowd, with a wrinkled face and patches on his clothes, looked at the behemoths of dinosaurs, happy and afraid, and shouted: "Lord Taishou is really a god." ”

"Yes, with these divine beasts, those damn Huns will no longer dare to bully us." A man with a whiplash on his face scolded resentfully.

A five- or six-year-old naughty boy, dragging his nose, riding on the shoulders of adults, pointed at the Allosaurus with a little finger, and said enviously: "Daddy, I want to ride a big horse when I grow up." ”

The man under him said dotingly: "Then you must eat a lot, and when you grow up, you can join the command of Lord Taishou." ”

"Daddy, I eat a big bowl every day." The naughty boy said innocently.

A young girl on the other side looked at the soldiers on the back of the giant beast and said reverently: "I really hope that my future husband can also ride these divine beasts to marry me." ”

.......

Back at the Taishou Mansion, a group of people came to the lobby, Wang Jun sat on the main seat, and the others sat on both sides according to their merits and seniority in turn and began to talk about their experiences.

The cheers of the people of Taishoufu came into everyone's ears like waves, and when they heard this cheer, everyone had a trace of joy and happiness on their faces.

Wang Jun put away the smile on his face, his face was straight, he glanced at everyone and asked, "You can all hear the cheers outside the mansion?" I don't know how you guys feel? ”

Everyone saw that Wang Jun's face was not good, although they didn't know what was wrong, but they didn't dare to touch Wang Jun's brows, they lowered their heads and stopped talking.

"Slap" Wang Jun slapped the table, got up angrily, and scolded: "Is it just a small battle that makes you arrogant?" If it weren't for the fact that you relied on a near-sneak raid, there would have been such a big result this time? ”

"I remind everyone here not to forget, you can say that you are facing a single small tribe in the past few days, and the many tribes that you have to face in the beginning of spring are at least the so-called virtuous kings of the Xiongnu, and then these Huns will have a command, not a plate of scattered sand, understand?"

The arrogance that had just risen in everyone's hearts didn't exist for long, and they were splashed from head to toe by Wang Jun's basin of cold water, and he hugged his fists and said: "We know our mistakes, and please punish the lord." ”

Wang Jun put on a smiling face again and said, "Why should I punish you if you win the battle, I just hope you don't rise to arrogance." ”

"No."

Wang Jun nodded and said, "Zhicai, talk about the battle losses and gains this time." ”

"No." Xi Zhicai already knew these things well, and said unhurriedly.

"My lord, this time we did not suffer much damage, only 78 people were killed and wounded, of which 23 were killed by arrows, 17 were disabled, and the rest were minor injuries."

"Disabled soldiers, try to arrange to be guards at the city gate, or arrange to go into the Taishou Mansion to do what you can." Wang Jun turned his head to Zhao Feng and said: "Zhao Feng's pension must be done well, those who have children must be raised to adulthood, and those who have parents must also be supported until they die." ”

"No, when the subordinates go back, they will arrange for the people below to act according to the orders of the lord." Zhao Fengdao.

"Zhicai, continue."

"Lord, in this battle, more than 30,000 enemies were killed, more than 10,000 people were captured, more than 8,000 Han people were rescued, and the booty included 15 carts of gold, silver and jewelry, and a total of 420,000 cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, of which more than 20,000 were wounded."

"The Han people arranged to enter Hexi City, but the population in the city is still too small." Wang Jun thought about it, so many cattle and sheep have no place to raise, and there are still injured, it is better to distribute some to the people in the city, and said: "There are still many poor people in Hexi City, Zhicai, you can arrange it, each household will share 3 pounds of meat, just when Chinese New Year's Eve arrives, it will be a congratulatory gift from the Taishou Mansion to the people, so that everyone will be happy." ”

Everyone stood up at the same time, clasped their fists and bowed: "The lord is merciful, we will bow down." ”

Everyone understands that Wang Jun is not stingy with these things outside his body, if those officials of the Han Dynasty are eager to put everything in their pockets, take them home and hide them, and can leak some benefits to his officials and soldiers, it can be said that they are rare good officials.

Cheng Yu thought about the Huns who were imprisoned in the captive camp, and asked, "My lord, how to arrange those Hun captives?" ”

Wang Jun said in his heart that these Huns are not my people, I need to take care of him to die, and sneered: "There are still a lot of roads in Hexi City, and the city wall needs to be repaired, so let these Huns be coolies, and the province will requisition the people in the city." ”

Cheng Yu looked understood, nodded and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

Calculating the time, the sergeant should have also returned to the barracks, and said, "The official of the celebration banquet is ready, let's go, we should also go." ”

After speaking, Wang Jun took the lead out of the Taishou Mansion and went straight to the military camp in the city.

At this time, the military camp has been lifted, the soldiers in the battalion are bragging, comparing the number of enemies killed by each other, a few soldiers are squatting in the playground and playing Ao physical strength, and a few soldiers are slowly gesturing with knives and guns.

As soon as Wang Jun and the others arrived, the battalion sergeants spontaneously gathered, and Wang Jun shouted when he saw this: "Brothers, you are all good, and I am proud of you." ”

"Long live the lord, long live the lord." All the soldiers raised their right hands and shouted.

"This official has prepared good wine and food for you, and today the prohibition is lifted, and everyone can drink it." Wang Jun was also rendered by this warm atmosphere and shouted.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."
