Carefully entrusted everything to the people who stayed, even if they left these backbones, there are still Zhu Dachun, Chen Anmin and others in this Huangsha County, although these two people are not too powerful, but there are not many things in a county, in a short period of time, government and military affairs can be guaranteed, if you accidentally meet someone in the green forest who ignores the rules, or an assassin with strong martial arts, don't forget that there is a Feng family heir in the city.

Besides, the war in the south has subsided, the victory and defeat have been divided, even if there are restless careerists, they can't take care of this small place with a big palm, and it is really unlikely that there will be any problems at the moment, at this time, the tens of thousands of Rakshasa soldiers stationed in Huangsha County are already a terrible deterrent, and the garrison of an ordinary county town is only this number.

Gu Xuan and a group of six people, after packing their bags, came out of Huangsha County, and then returned from Youzhou, all the way, full of devastation, this war that affected the entire southern land, the damage brought to the people, at least it will take several years to fully recover.

It takes time for the greatly reduced population to slowly recover, and the cities and villages that have been damaged by the war need time to rebuild, and for many families, everything that has been accumulated after decades of hard work has disappeared, and everything is like a dream, and everything has to start from scratch.

That is why the people will hate the crown prince they once had pride, and all the initiators, the promoters, and the indulgents who could have prevented it from happening, and they should be responsible for every unfortunate person who has been implicated in this war.

War is very cruel, it is not a matter of moving lips, but represents the real bloodshed and sacrifice, everyone should fear it, reject it, although not everything has a better solution, but as an ordinary person who has been ruthlessly played by the trend of the times, we should be more afraid of it, we should unite even more, do our best to prevent it from happening, and cherish our current life.

After this war, Youzhou went through decades, with the strong support of the imperial court, it was finally established, extending in all directions, facilitating the military and civilian post station network, but also lost at least one-third, but the reconstruction has also been put on the agenda.

Youzhou is like a tenacious grass, although it has just experienced a cruel wind and rain, but under the rainbow after the rain, it is trying to recover its vitality, even if it is slow, but you can still see its vigorous vitality.

This is also the common character of Youzhou people, if they want to survive in this barren land, they must be as tough as a grass, only a little rain and dew, enough to survive, and bloom with a vigorous vitality that does not lose flowers at all.

Peace was not easy to come by, and although it came at a huge cost, it was fortunate that Ryokuni finally won.

The nominal leader of Youzhou now is the right general Luo Jingyun, but everyone knows that the candidate for the next general must be Lu Dengyun, because the strong strength of this young general in this war, including the follow-up potential, and the courage to shoulder the pressure and responsibility alone when the family and country are in danger, are far beyond others.

What's more, he was the righteous son of the deceased left general Pei Zhengyang, his roots were red, and he was deeply supported by his subordinates, and he also got the full support of the right general, qualifications, ability, character, loyalty, all aspects, are the best choice, no one in Youzhou can compete with him, even if the imperial court changed the establishment later, Youzhou became the same as Yanzhou, it is a model based on local civil officials and military generals, Lu Dengyun will inevitably be the new spiritual leader of the Youzhou Army in the future.

With Lu Dengyun's help and care, Gu Xuan and the others went very smoothly on the way home, at least better than him and Jinglong

It was much smoother when he came, and no matter how carefree he was, although he had been rushing in the wilderness with food and drink, after all, it was much more convenient and comfortable to be taken care of by someone with him.

It's just that Gu Xuan's heart has never been quiet.

It's not that it's more timid, but because once people are idle, they will always involuntarily start thinking, thinking about a lot of things, thinking about some things that they didn't have time to think about when they were busy before.

About life, about parting, about gains and losses, about the past, about the present, and about the future.

Gu Xuan still rode the Hulan Divine Horse that accompanied him to the Three Kingdoms and worked hard, but unfortunately, this was originally the one that Gu Cang specially gave to Yun Jinglong, as for the horse that belonged to him, it had already died in the mountains on the border of Yanzhou, and the one who also stayed there was one of his eyes, as well as some emotions and persistence.

The horse kept striding forward, his back rising and falling as his hooves rose and fell, but his figure stood still like a high mountain, but his thoughts had already drifted away with the wind.

There are many things, and it is true that only after experiencing them can you really feel something.

On the way back to Beijing, Gu Xuan also took them to Majia Village, but the once prosperous village has now completely disappeared, and only some ruins and ruins that can prove that people once lived here remain.

Almost all the houses in the village were destroyed, including the Ma Family Ancestral Hall, which was located in the center of the village, and the nearby fields were also deserted and overgrown with weeds, as if more than ten years had passed at once.

There is no way, this place is close to the battlefield, and the Shu army and the Youzhou army have invested a lot of troops, and it is normal to be implicated in the war, because the entire village has been destroyed, and there are not too many traces left for them to review, maybe the group of people who survived from the hands of the horse bandits did not really come back to work hard to rebuild the village, but went their separate ways.

In the past few days that the brothers of the Ma family have worked hard in Huangsha County, they have seen a lot of real life and death partings, and after experiencing a lot of big scenes, they are no longer the two mud legs who cowered at everything, and their minds have become more and more determined, and even Lu Yi praised them, but looking at the hometown that was already a ruin in front of them, they still couldn't help but burst into tears and whimpered.

The two brothers knew that from now on, they could really only rely on each other, because their roots were gone, and they didn't know if there were any relatives left in this world, but that didn't matter, and they said goodbye to the past completely.

After that, the atmosphere of the entire team began to become more and more dull, and everyone, including Jinglong, seemed to have some things on their minds and were reluctant to speak.

After being away for nearly a year, Gu Xuan finally returned to his hometown in the capital at the beginning of this winter, this imperial capital is still as prosperous as ever, the Liangzhou battlefield has won a complete victory, and the news that Xu Jintang of Youzhou led troops to resist the Shu army and successfully expelled foreign enemies has been sent back to the imperial capital very early, plus thanks to Gu Cang's efforts to promote the development of the people's newspaper, even the people in Liangguo quickly knew about these news from the front line, which led to many people who had been secretly migrating further south, and they came back one after another.

Except for those who lost everything in the war, the people, businessmen, and officials of Daliang are now enjoying their unique moment of celebration, all night long, and the sound of festive gongs and drums, and cheers resounded in the sky.

Not only is it open all year round on weekdays, the two side gates for people to enter and exit, but also the gate of the main gate that will be opened only when important people enter and exit is unprecedented, and the bustling crowd is still endless, waiting for inspection, and the queue to enter the city has been lined up from the gate to a mile away.

It is said that it will be opened all at once

There are three gates, and the queue should not be so long, but this is because the door is checked too carefully, which leads to the blockage of so many people here, because after the defeat of the enemy, it is necessary to prevent the other party's dog from jumping over the wall and coming to the imperial capital to carry out some retaliatory assassinations, so the verification of the capital has become more and more severe.

Morobeti rode a horse, still in the distance, after a few looks, he couldn't help but sigh: "Our Rakshasa clan used to really sit in a well and watch the sky, I don't know how thick the sky is, such a city, it is simply a miracle, it is absolutely impossible to build in the desert, there are so many people in line, how many people should be inside, we return to the imperial court, it is really a wise move." ”

But no, the city in front of him, even if it is still so far away, it seems to be in front of his eyes, because it is too huge, from a distance, it is simply a thick mountain on the ground, in contrast, the so-called city of their Rakshasa clan, that is, the level of the general village of Liangguo, but how many villages are there in the entire Daliang, I am afraid that I can't count them.

After seeing such a majestic city, Morobeti realized how big the gap between the two sides was, if they were bent on fighting against Da Liang, it would really be a mayfly shaking a tree, and a mantis arm would be a car, and they would not be able to do it themselves.

At this time, Lu Yi suddenly opened his mouth and proposed: "Lord Wang, do you think we want to go to the front to find the guards for convenience?"

Gu Xuannai is a relative of the emperor and a nobleman, of course he has this right to do it conveniently, not to mention that they have the documents of the imperial court, in other words, this is the will of the imperial court, how can they skip the choice of wasting time queuing with these civilians.

But before Gu Xuan could speak, Jinglong interjected: "Sir's words are wrong, the prince's return to Beijing this time is bound to attract the attention of all people, so it is better to keep a low profile at the beginning, so as not to attract the attention of outsiders at the beginning, so many pairs of eyes staring, it will be difficult to do the rest of the matter." ”

Lu Yi turned his head and glanced at him, frowning slightly, the Ma brothers behind him had no right to speak, they just drove the carriage silently, and the carriage was full of dry food necessary for camping, etc., after all, they were basically in the suburbs along the way, and they still needed a carriage to rest.

Gu Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "What Jinglong said makes sense, although this king also wants to return to Beijing as soon as possible, it is better to take this opportunity to think about what should happen after returning to Beijing." ”

They came back this time, there are too many things to do, and they also have to take away the benefits from too many people, as a sudden rise of emerging forces, this is bound to cause many people to be disgusted, if you want to really gain a foothold and get the inheritance left to him by Gu Cang, you need a complete and feasible plan, how can you just take things and break in, this will attract the attention of many people, if you line up quietly, the people in the city may not know that they have returned.

Lu Yi sighed, and could only say: "Since the prince has said so, then so be it." ”

While the group was waiting, Gu Xuan and Lu Yi were discussing what to do after entering the city.

Although the speed of the team was not fast, it was still advancing, and after two hours, the sun above them had already set in the west, and it was finally their turn.

The city guards have been replaced, at least Gu Xuan and the others have sharp eyes to find that these people are not the mediocre goods before, looking at their vigorous posture and sharp eyes, they all understand that they are not ordinary people, Gu Xuan, who has participated in the royal autumn hunt almost every year in the first thirteen years, is even more keenly aware that these people are all people who are fierce guards, but they are wearing ordinary clothes, but some traces can still be seen, these traces are subconscious, and it is difficult to erase and deliberately avoid them.

After Gu Xuan and the others glanced at each other, the Ma family brothers stepped forward and handed over the paperwork plate for customs clearance and their Liangguo identity certificate.
