After the end of the civil war, the Chen family, the royal family, who was attacked in this battle, did not suffer much loss, only lost some armaments and strategic materials. But the fruits they got back were very rich, not only did the battle on the Weiku Plain greatly increase their self-confidence, but also gained control of several important counties around them, and even forced the Empress of Shengde, Chen Xinyu, to take back the "thief" document that declared them rebellious, which is equivalent to saying that they also won this victory strategically. They officially announced their departure from the country, but the specific content, such as the country name and other things, was not discussed within the royal Chen family. This has also become the most concerned thing for the people and officials under the jurisdiction of the royal Chen family. They really want to win an independent country, and they don't have to look at the eyes of leaving the country anymore.

After the end of this campaign, the great victory of the royal Chen family in the south gave them the capital to be able to advance to the southeast. And Zhao Ling, who defeated and almost swept away the 50,000 troops, was called the most indispensable general in this campaign by the officials within the Chen family of the imperial family. Today, when Zhao Ling's class returned to Checheng, he was also welcomed by the people. The people all thought that Zhao Ling had helped them raise their eyebrows, and they finally didn't have to endure such humiliation and torture anymore.

Of course, some people are happy and naturally some people are worried, when Zhao Ling entered the city, there was a middle-aged general wearing dark gold armor on the city tower who was silently watching Zhao Ling from the beginning of entering the city by the people on both sides of the street around him cheered and greeted, and even was blocked at the city gate and couldn't even enter the city gate, the general's fist couldn't help but clench secretly, and then clenched his face was full of resentment and disdainful disdain.

At this moment, a group of more than 3,000 gray Xuanjia troops suddenly rushed out from the gate of the open Checheng Royal Palace located in the northwest direction of the city, and these 3,000 people quickly guarded both sides of the street, gathering the originally chaotic and noisy people together to maintain order around them. A Xuanjia army general wearing a silver helmet galloped in front of Zhao Ling, and he bowed his hand on the horse: "General, I am humbly ordered by His Royal Highness the King to welcome the general's triumphant return!"

Zhao Ling, who was riding on a war horse and accepting the cheers of the people around him, couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, where is His Royal Highness King Che?"

"General Qiqi, His Royal Highness King Che is at the gate of the palace, and he is there to personally wait for the general. The general of the Xuanjia Army wearing a silver helmet pointed at the royal city looming not far away.

Zhao Ling's heart warmed up, since His Royal Highness King Che personally greeted him, then he was a hero who made great contributions in this battle, not a traitor who negotiated privately and tried to take power. So, Zhao Ling shouted to the soldiers behind him: "You go back to the house first, tell Madame, I'm all right, I'll go and meet His Royal Highness King Che." I guess it won't be long before I'll go back and be reunited with them. ”

"Take care, general, let's go first. ”

Zhao Ling smiled slightly, and he rode towards the north of the city under the escort of several Xuanjia troops behind him. In a short time, they were already at the gate of the old palace, where they had left the country, and immediately they jumped off their horses and handed them over to the guards at the gate of the palace. A group of dozens of people walked into the palace.

Originally, when the capital of the country was still here, although the area and scale of this palace were very large, there were not many people who really lived in it, and there were only the emperor and the harem concubines. As a result, it is natural that many of the palaces in this palace will become abandoned and deserted. At the beginning, one of the more important reasons why the people of the Chen family of the imperial family were dissatisfied with the departing emperor was because they couldn't bear the feeling of living outside the palace like this.

And since the last emperor who left the country, Chen Xinyu's father led the capital out of the city, the royal Chen family has completely mastered the palace in the entire city. In contrast, the head of the Chen family of the royal family made a very correct choice, he let basically all the clansmen move into this palace complex, which also fundamentally ensured the interests of every family member. Living in the royal palace is based on one's status and status in the family, as well as one's contributions. Among them, Chen Xuan, the head of the royal Chen family, now lives in the most famous Taiji Hall in this palace leaving the country. It is also the largest hall that can be imprinted directly into the eye from the square where you enter the palace. At this moment, the head of the Chen family of the imperial family, Chen Xuan, who proclaimed himself King Che, had returned to the Taiji Palace, and he was sitting on the dragon chair that only the former emperor of the country could sit on, waiting for the return of his confidant Zhao Ling.

Chen Xuan, the head of the Chen family of the royal family, recently returned from Jucheng near Shenghai, and he also heard about the great victory and results of the battle ahead, he himself is a person who trusts his subordinates very much, and Chen Xuan is very satisfied with the series of measures made by Zhao Ling and the subsequent negotiations, thinking that Zhao Ling has done what he wants him to do, especially the victory over the 50,000 troops who have left the country, so that they have at least no possibility of invading them again in recent years. In this way, it is equivalent to saying that in the disguised time, they no longer need to deploy troops to defend against attacks from leaving the country. In this way, they can focus more on certain special aspects of research. Therefore, Chen Xuan values Zhao Ling's outstanding contributions now.

Not long after, Zhao Ling came to the door of the Taiji Hall under the protection of the Xuanjia Army, and a guard at the door shouted loudly: "Your Highness, General Zhao Ling asks to see you!"

Chen Xuan hurriedly stood up and stared at a general in white armor who was walking briskly from under the tower of the Taiji Hall not far away, and a particularly heroic general was walking briskly towards the front hall of the Taiji Palace. Chen Xuan stared at Zhao Ling's footsteps with a smile, only to see Zhao Ling come directly to the throne, knelt on one knee, and slowly bowed down and said, "Weichen Zhao Ling, I have seen His Royal Highness King Che." ”

Chen Xuan looked up at the heroic middle-aged general below, he slowly walked back to his throne, and said with a smile while sitting down: "General Zhao has worked hard all the way, and the general has made great contributions, so I will naturally reward the general." I wonder if you can tell me how much you have gained in this battle?"

Zhao Ling told all the things and things he had originally harvested to His Royal Highness King Che who was sitting on the throne in front of him, and saw that Chen Xuan's face showed a very surprised color. He originally wanted to use the opportunity of Zhao Ling to negotiate with the country privately to balance Zhao Ling's military power, but what he did now suddenly made Chen Xuan's heart flutter. In this way, they can definitely complete the transition in front of them and smoothly usher in the fact that they have the advantage.

"Okay, good, General Zhao has made great contributions, I will naturally reward the general!" Chen Xuan used three "good" words in a row, and it was obvious that he could see a deep smile like the wind on his face. Zhao Ling was secretly happy in his heart, he hurriedly arched his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, this is what Weichen should do, I don't dare to ask His Highness for reward." ”

Chen Xuan shook his head with a smile, and then waved his hand, and a team of maids holding white jade-colored jade plates in their hands came out of the back of the main hall, and this team of maids all held pearl silk in their hands, so the added value was really immeasurable. At this time, Chen Xuan said with a smile: "This is just a reward for property, in addition, I will crown you as the governor of Yangcheng and the commander of the Viku Plain, and the army over there is under your control." Of course, there is another task to be handed over to you, which is to try to find a way to take Yangcheng, an important southern town that is still in the hands of the country, through some means. ”

Zhao Ling's face showed a very surprised smile, one of the great joys of his life was to distribute his money to the soldiers under his command, such an act would allow him to win the support of the soldiers, and then make these soldiers in his hands. So, he hurriedly knelt down again, bowed and saluted: "Weichen will never live up to His Highness's expectations, and he will definitely complete this task!"

"Go ahead, go home and reunite with your family, and in two days, I'll tell you the specifics of the mission. Chen Xuan smiled slightly, turned around and stood up, and walked to the back hall of the Taiji Palace.

"Wechen obeys His Highness's orders!"

Riding a war horse and slowly leaving the palace, Zhao Ling's mood warmed up again, Chen Xuan's important task was handed over to him, he would inevitably be able to further grasp greater military power, when the time came, how could Wang Ren compete with him for the honor of this marshal of soldiers and horses? You know, he is a general who is very good at reconciling the relationship between soldiers and leading the army to fight in battle, Wang Ren, how can he compare with himself?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ling couldn't help but whip his war horse again, he was going back to his mansion. He couldn't wait any longer.

After a while, Zhao Ling's body had already appeared at the door of his mansion, and the family members in the concierge had already led his war horse to the forage room in the rear. Zhao Ling adjusted the armor on his body and walked quickly into the garden at the back of this mansion.

In the middle of the garden sat a woman dressed in a bright red garment, behind whom stood several maids in long pink dresses. The woman was facing a bay of crystal clear water in front of her, carefully enjoying such a gentle time at noon. Although it was facing away from him, Zhao Ling could naturally imagine that this woman's beautiful honor and face, his heart suddenly warmed up.

Zhao Ling coughed lightly, the body of the woman in front of her shook slightly, and she turned around, revealing a beautiful and gentle face. I saw this woman smile slightly, looking at Zhao Ling's very gentle smile, she stood up and said with a smile: "Welcome, the general goes home"
