Chapter 41 Greeting Prince Wu's Triumphant Return

For Guo Xing is still alive, Emperor Guo Wei and the ministers are more comforted, not to mention the results achieved by Guo Xing, whether it is a military attache or a civilian official, they are deeply admired, and at the same time, there is a deep worry, the grassland people will definitely increase the encirclement and suppression of Guo Xing.

In September of the 30th year of Longshuo, the Great Jin and the prairie signed an agreement on a temporary truce for two years, and the emperor Guo Wei was going back to Beijing, Guo Wei raised his weak hand and took Guo Jun's hand and said, "You must always pay attention to the news in the direction of leaving the pass, that is the only way out for Xiao Seventeen, I can't lose a son."

Guo Jun nodded sadly, "Father, don't worry, the child will always pay attention to the news of leaving the customs, as soon as there is news, the son is a fast horse to report to Beijing" Emperor Guo Wei nodded, now his body is very weak, the death of the prince has hit Guo Wei too hard, and it is too difficult to cultivate a qualified successor.

Guo Xing was evading the pursuers at the same time, but he couldn't go straight to Wuletu, but the preparations that should be made did not stop at all, the water bags have been collecting, and he has been entering the grassland for more than five months, including Guo Xing himself has felt deeply tired, physically better, the key is psychological, the soldiers are becoming more and more murderous, one by one they are standing there without moving, this day, they are finally going to attack Wuletu, and there are only more than 1,200 soldiers left.

There is a small earth town in Ultu, there are caravans that specialize in camels, there are people there, it is a mixed area of many races, it is a trade point unique to the grasslands, and some caravans specialize in trading across the desert to the pass.

Guo Xing also learned about this situation, and took this place as the direction of return, the guards of Wuletu were about five or six hundred people, and Guo Xing and they attacked here at night, and the men of the grassland were not afraid of death, and Guo Xing's team was reduced by more than 100 people again at the end of the battle.

Hurry up to find a guide who is familiar with the desert, and at the same time prepare water bags and food, and finally find two Great Jin people to be guides, and buy a full thousand camels, accounting for more than two-thirds of the Wuletu camels, only in this way can we ensure that the chasing soldiers behind can not chase themselves.

On average, each person had nearly sixty water bags, a thousand camels, and a thousand horses, and set off with sixty days of food, and it would normally take more than forty days to get out of the desert, but Guo Xing felt that it was better to prepare more than not enough at that time.

The team set off in the night, Guo Xing didn't dare to wait, he would rather rest in the desert for a day than take it in Wuletu, worried about the arrival of the chasing soldiers behind, the figure of more than 1,000 people disappeared into the night, Guo Xing didn't know that it took more than three months when they came out of the desert.

When Emperor Guo Wei returned to Beijing, he appointed Guo Jun as the commander to continue to sit in Yunzhou, and after the arrival of reinforcements, he gave priority to replenishing the Yunzhou troops, maintaining the total strength of 200,000 in Yunzhou, and the other troops returned to various places one after another, and it took more than 20 days to return to Beijing, and dealt with the funeral of the prince, and he recuperated in the palace.

It has been more than half a month since the prince's funeral ended, and the vacancy of the prince also made the minds of several princes move, the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh until tenth, several people were full of thoughts, and the third was persuaded by the princess to give up her mind, the princess said very clearly, as long as the second Guo Jun is still there, they will have no hope, if Guo Xing is also there, there is no hope at all.

For several princes, the biggest competitor is Guo Jun who is sitting in Yunzhou, and Guo Xing, whose life and death are unknown, as long as the two of them are there, then they have no chance at all, which is very clear.

Several princes entered the palace to greet each other more times, and visited the queen more often, in the Beijing division is to jump up and down to make friends with officials from all walks of life, Emperor Guo Wei is very clear about the thoughts of these sons who are ambitious and talented, but he didn't care, let them jump up and down, the old ministers are all old fritters, and they will not follow the muddy water, but there are also some drill camps invested in the command of several princes.

Guo Jun in Yunzhou is clear and ruthless about what happened in the Jingshi, Guo Jun has no interest in that position, he stays in the palace all day long, how can he be happy now, he knows the thoughts of his father Guo Wei, Emperor Guo Wei is waiting for Guo Xing's news, and the successor candidate in his heart is also Guo Xing, Guo Jun wants to say that there is no vinegar taste It is impossible, but Guo Jun has a good and virtuous helper like the third Guo Zhong.

After some analysis by the princess, Guo Jun is not in a hurry at all, and at the same time he sees himself clearly, he really lets himself govern the country, as the princess said, there will be problems, and the more important thing is that he is not ruthless enough, and he does not have the ruthlessness of despising all beings, Guo Xing is different, so far Guo Jun still remembers the incident he saw a ten-year-old Guo Xing do a few years ago.

What's more, Guo Jun knows very well that he can defend himself in Yunzhou, but the attack is insufficient, which is also the reason why Emperor Guo Wei put himself in Yunzhou, after seeing himself clearly, Guo Jun is now also looking forward to Guo Xing's safe return, and I really want to see what kind of situation Guo Xing can bring to this country.

Speaking of Guo Xing, the current situation is very bad, a big desert storm caused Guo Xing's only two guides to lose one, the wounded in the team, lost more than sixty people, this is not worse, what is worse is that the guide also lost his way after the big storm, can only rely on his feelings, Guo Xing regards this disaster as God's training for himself, so most of the time is on foot, drinking less water, honing his will Dao heart, and practicing martial arts all the time.

The desert is boring, there have been signs of suicide of soldiers, the battle has not broken these iron-clad men, the silence of the desert has taken their lives.

The occurrence of this situation also made everyone's mood unhappy to a few points, Guo Xing only comforted everyone, there is no other better way, behind a rock that can be sheltered from the wind, rested, Guo Xing also came up with a few small games to distract everyone's thoughts, consume everyone's physical strength, and drink to make everyone drunk, to relieve the pressure in their hearts. After a few days of rest, I went back on my way.

Winter in the north always comes relatively early, in December when the heavy snow falls early, the border pass is a hard day, especially leaving the pass, winter comes early, the soldiers guarding the pass also hide in the shelter.

The guards stomped their feet, poked each other with their hands, and talked to each other, and A said, "Do you say that this Prince Wu can come back?"

B said, "I will definitely be able to come back, this prince of Wu is really powerful, he killed the grassland people and shouted the demon king, and the child stopped crying"

A said, "You know a fart, Prince Wu is this" After speaking, he stretched out his thumb.

Then he said, "Prince Wu leads three thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, how can you let those barbarians catch them, they will definitely come back" The two soldiers farted and chatted with each other to pass the time.

At this time, Xiao Bingjia inadvertently looked into the distance, only to see a group of people appear in front of him in the snow, and thought that it would not be his own eyes, and someone would come to enter the customs at this time.

He poked the little soldier B next to him and said, "Let's see, am I dazzled or is there really a team of people coming"

Xiao Bing B also raised his head at this time and said: "No, this is the army, report it quickly" The team leader above the pass saw that it was indeed the army, the snow was too big to see clearly, but the precautions that should be done had to be done.

"Ring the alarm, close the city gate" The alarm bell of the pass is "dangdang" rang, hearing the sound of the alarm bell, the defenders who left the pass are quickly assembled on the city wall, and the guard of the pass is Zhong Hui, who came to the city tower and asked what was going on, and the captain reported the matter, and stood on the city tower and could see that the team of hundreds of people in front of him was rushing to leave the pass.

This group of people is Guo Xing and them, from the beginning of entering the grassland to now more than eight months, even if they are back, there are less than 500 people left in the three thousand people, looking at the closer and closer to their own pass, Guo Xing stopped, and said, "Organize the team, brothers, we are back, but we can't let them underestimate us, the momentum is all out, go to the Guanli everyone to rest and recuperate", everyone responded "yes"

Guo Xing then said, "Zhou Hu, go and call Guan, report the name of the master, and let them switch it for the master."

Zhou Hu said loudly next to him, "I have to order" a person to ride a horse and run forward, Guo Xing then waved his hand to "go", and a group of people lined up in a military formation to march forward.

Zhong Hui, the guard on the upper floor of the Guancheng City, also looked at this team, and when he saw this team out of the military formation, he knew that it was a regular army, and he saw a fast horse coming straight to the pass, and the people on the horse came to the gate of the city and shouted loudly, "The Great Jin Prince Wu came to call the Guan, and quickly opened the city gate, and Prince Wu was behind" Zhong Hui, the guard who left the pass, was stunned as soon as he stopped, Prince Wu, he is still alive, and now most people think that Guo Xing may not be there.

It's not wrong to think so, after all, after the return of the prairie army, it must be to encircle and suppress Guo Xing, there has been no news for such a long time, there must be a lot of murder, but the deeds of Guo Xing in the prairie spread with the appearance of the caravan, three thousand men and horses fought for thousands of miles, killing hundreds of thousands of enemies, this kind of deeds made everyone admire.

Zhou Hu, who was in the gate, saw that the people on the city tower did not move, so he shouted loudly again, this time Zhong Hui is sober, this must be true, it will not be fake, and it is impossible for the enemy to send hundreds of people to sneak attack and leave the pass, and ordered, "Open the city gate, and the whole army will go out to welcome."

After speaking, he went down to the city tower, to say that Guo Xing's prestige is very high in the hearts of these generals and soldiers, idols, as soon as the soldiers heard that it was the whole army to welcome Prince Wu, it was a spiritual head that came, the city gate was wide open, it was a group of soldiers in front of the pass, with Zhong Hui coming to wait together, seeing a team of people coming, Zhong Hui said loudly, "Shout with me, welcome Prince Wu to return victorious."
