Liu Yi left Pei Xingjian's big tent with mixed feelings.

Although Pei Xingjian is the commander of an army, drinking is a forbidden thing in the army, and Pei Xingjian, as the commander, does not dare to openly violate it, both of them drink secretly, and do not let outsiders know, so Pei Xingjian is a personal guard outside the tent, and no one else is allowed to enter the tent, and there are no other idlers to disturb between the two drinking and talking, and the master and apprentice also said a lot of private words.

Although Liu Yi said that he was grateful for what Princess Taiping had done for herself, and was also moved by the changes that this demon girl made for herself, Pei Xingjian said that some things that Liu Yi did not know, coupled with Liu Yi's understanding of Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping in history, still made Liu Yi a little worried.

In addition to worrying about a series of troubles brought about by Princess Taiping's marriage, Liu Yi is also worried about another person, that is, Shangguan Wan'er, listening to what Pei Xingjian said, he wants to marry Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er, this matter is basically impossible, at least for now.

Pei Xingjian didn't say why, but Liu Yi didn't believe Pei Xingjian's words, just because Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er came out to play together before the expedition and came to visit his mansion, Princess Taiping's purpose Although Liu Yi did not have full insight, he also understood that at least Princess Taiping did not exclude Shangguan Wan'er from becoming his wife, and even Princess Taiping was creating conditions for Shangguan Wan'er to marry him.

When Liu Yi walked back to the tent, he saw the guards who greeted him, and he also laughed at himself for being too nostalgic for his children's affairs, the war was not over, the army was still on the front line in Anbei, I don't know when I could return to Chang'an, and Wu Zetian's edict for marriage was not issued, I was worried about this and that, and I didn't have a word yet, thinking of this, Liu Yi put away his thoughts, walked into the tent, called Liu Ben, Liu Quan and other leaders of the personal guards to the tent, ordered some things, and ordered them to prepare for the preparation of the class teacher.

Hearing Liu Yi say that he would be able to return to Chang'an soon, these guards who followed Liu Yi and experienced many battles also showed a relaxed smile, the war is over, their mission has almost been completed, and on the way to the class, their master Liu Yi should not be able to do anything. Liu Yi's safe return to Chang'an was the time when they were completely relaxed, and it was also their greatest achievement.

Just when Liu Yi ordered the guards to guard the house and prepare to rest, the guards outside the tent came to report, saying that Li Jingjia and Hua Dazhi wanted to see him.

The two generals came to see at this time, Liu Yi was not surprised, and immediately ordered them to come in.

These two people will follow Cao Huaishun to garrison Youanbei, and they are about to separate from him, so it is reasonable to come over and say a few words.

"See General Liu!" After the two generals entered the account, they all saluted Liu Yi.

Liu Yi looked at these two people who were older than him, and their official positions were originally higher than himself, but now they were the generals of his subordinates, and said with a smile: "General Li and General Hua, you two haven't gone to rest yet?" ”

"General, the two of us have been following the general on this expedition, and we have also made some military achievements, this time we will be rewarded by the imperial court, and we will stay in Anbei, and we are about to part with the general, and I want to talk to the general today!" Hua Dazhi spoke first.

This time, they were entrusted with the position of governor of the two new governors of the capital of the capital of Anbei because of their military exploits, and the title of the fourth rank, although there is still a certain gap between them and the guard generals who were originally from the third grade, but for them who were defeated and dismissed in the previous year's campaign, it can really be said that they have gone from hell to heaven, and the ups and downs of their career experience have also made them understand many truths.

"Thank you for the general's recommendation, if there is no general's power, the last general and General Hua may still be white, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to return to the battlefield, make military achievements, and be entrusted with important positions, the great grace is not grateful, what will the general say in the future, the last general will only obey your life!" Li Jingjia followed Hua Dazhi and said.

"The two generals are serious, this time the two generals were entrusted with military posts and went out with the army, the general only revealed this meaning to Chief Pei before the expedition, and did not tell the Queen of Heaven about it, there must be other ministers of the DPRK and China who recommended you!" Liu Yi told the truth, he wanted to recommend these two people to go with his army, but he only told Pei Xingjian, and he never asked Wu Zetian, and he still hasn't figured out who recommended these two generals, it may be Pei Xingjian, but he can't confirm it.

Li Jingjia and Hua Dazhi glanced at each other, the two of them still looked firm, or Li Jingjia said: "Since General Liu said so, we will not say anything anymore, if there is still a chance to follow the general to do things in the future, but if there is a life, don't dare to disobey!"

Li Jingjia said and respectfully bowed, Hua Dazhi also saluted, in Liu Yi's slight consternation, the two generals also withdrew from the tent, so that Liu Yi was confused, not that these two generals knew the situation, and it was also related to himself, Liu Yi couldn't help but think of the two women Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping, it is very likely that these two women were doing things for him in secret, -- a month after the imperial court's edict was delivered, the army of Dingxiangdao was officially divided, Cao Huaishun, the newly appointed Anbei Metropolitan Protector and Anbei Fu Lieutenant, led more than 60,000 men and horses to stay in the territory of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate to perform their new duties, Pei Xingjian only led about 15,000 men and horses, and carried more than 100,000 Turkic and Xue Yantuo prisoners, as well as a captured livestock, and most of the property, to Chang'an.

When the division of troops was said, a grand ceremony was also held, most of the middle and senior generals in the army, as well as the Turks who surrendered and were captured, and the heads of Xue Yantuo all attended the ceremony, and the mighty military posture shown by tens of thousands of Tang soldiers at the ceremony made the leaders of these tribes tremble, including Ashina Funian and Dusha, these original Turkic and Xue Yantuo leaders also understood Pei Xingjian's intention to let them participate in the ceremony.

Even though they had become prisoners, Pei Xingjian further threatened them with force, one of which had an important purpose, that is, to warn them that when they marched to Chang'an, they must not make any changes, otherwise he would not hesitate to take tough measures against them.

The ceremony was solemn and short, and after the ceremony, the people of each department will rush to their next itinerary one after another.

Liu Yi led Zhang Qianxuan, Yang Yuanyan, Jinghui, Huan Yanfan and others who followed him on the return journey to see off the other soldiers who set off first.

Separated from Liu Yi's department, Li Jingjia and Hua Dazhi, who stayed in Anbei, each got 1,000 men, so that Liu Yi's original 6,000 men and horses were only 4,000.

Li Jingjia and Hua Dazhi also had 2,000 men from other armies, each with 3,000 men and horses.

When the two divisions were about to leave, Li Jingjia and Hua Dazhi ran to Liu Yi together.

"General Liu, the last general will say goodbye to the general!" The two stopped in front of Liu Yima, saluted, and shouted loudly.

"General Li, General Hua, take care all the way, presumably we will be able to meet soon!" Liu Yi returned the salute and said meaningfully.

Li Jingjia and Hua Dazhi glanced at each other with some surprise, but they didn't ask Liu Yi anything, the two saluted again, "The general also takes care all the way, there will be a period later," After the two generals finished saluting, they each ran back to the front of the queue and commanded their soldiers to set off.

Although Li Jingjia and Hua Dazhi were stationed in the Shan Yu Metropolitan Protectorate, because this place had just experienced war, a certain number of troops were needed to garrison it to maintain stability, effectively support Cao Huaishun's troops who were traveling farther away, and began to build the city, so they were also the first to advance.

After Li Jingjia and Hua Dazhi took the lead in leaving, Cao Huaishun followed and led the army to advance.

Cao Huaishun led his subordinate soldiers to salute Pei Xingjian and his generals in a line, and then embarked on the journey.

On the second day after the armies of all walks of life set off for their respective places of conquest and garrison, Pei Xingjian also led his soldiers to march south with more than 100,000 prisoners, as well as a large number of cattle, sheep and other livestock.

The time is already the height of summer in June, which is about the same time as the previous year's post-expedition, but this time because the number of sergeants on the side is not large, and the number of prisoners is quite large, the difference in proportion is very huge, in order to prevent accidents, the speed of travel is not fast, and the escorted sergeants are all on guard against all possible abnormal situations.

In July, the army arrived in Shengzhou, rested in Shengzhou for five days, and then continued to march, when arriving in Shuozhou, there was a Shuozhou border army to join the escort procession, until it arrived in Daizhou before returning, after the border army of Shuozhou returned, the border army of Daizhou continued to escort in its jurisdiction, directly to the state, and so on, every time they arrived in a state, there were local border troops or government soldiers to join the army of escorting prisoners, which made Pei Xingjian and Liu Yi, who had been carrying their hearts, let go of most of their hearts.

Along the way, Liu Yi followed Pei Xingjian's commander to act together, one of the most important purposes is to protect Pei Xingjian's safety, to prevent the prisoners from being impacted, and again, such a march, you can ask Pei Xingjian for a lot of things, such as the summary of the war, and some discussion of operational concepts, Pei Xingjian also took the trouble to explain and analyze all the battles in this campaign for Liu Yi, and pointed out some places where the layout was not too perfect. It also affirmed the many performances of the generals in combat.

At the beginning of September, the Tongguan escorted the captives, Tongguan is the gateway to Chang'an, here is only a few hundred miles away from Chang'an, and it can be reached in a few days, in Tongguan, Pei Xingjian also received an edict sent by the imperial court, ordering him to escort all the captives to Chang'an, and the imperial court will hold a grand triumph and sacrifice ceremony outside Chang'an.

Liu Yi knew that this triumphal ceremony should definitely be similar to the last time, although it was an honor to be received by Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, but when he arrived in Chang'an, Liu Yi wanted to see the two women Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping.

Beauty, Young Master Ben is back.

I'm going to have to get along with you in a more intimate way this time...
