It turned out that Boyan followed Zhang Qian and others all the way into the border of Khorezm, and did not show up to meet them until the delegation reached an agreement with the emperor of Khorezm, got up and returned, and Boyan followed all the way east. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he saw that the mission was escorted by 5,000 Imperial Forest Army, and he thought that there was no problem, so he no longer followed them, but hurried back alone, so the mission arrived at Jiayuguan one step first.

Qin Chonghai hurriedly went to arrange, and after a while, all the main generals in the Northwest Army were notified, and everyone went to the gate of Jiayuguan to wait, Qin Chonghai and Boyan walked to the door together, and saw a huge crowd in the distance raising a puff of smoke and dust, and it was the delegation that arrived.

Zhang Qian saw that Boyan was already waiting at the door, hurriedly whipped his horse, ran all the way to Boyan, jumped off the horse, the two hugged each other tightly, and Boyan said: "Hou Ye! Xiaguan has been waiting here for a year, and finally looks forward to the day when you come back." ”

Qin Chonghai scolded on the side: What do you mean that you have been looking forward to it here for a year, and you have followed others all the way.

Zhang Qian couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and said to Boyan: "A year ago, we set off from here, and the general personally saw me off, and today we came back, and the general personally picked up the wind for us, but when I left, it was easy to be Xiaoxiao, and now I am back with a full load!"

Wang Yangming also stepped forward to greet Boyan, Qin Chonghai and others, Qin Chonghai saw that Wang Yangming was full of energy, and his skills seemed to have grown again, and what was even more rare was that his temperament was more mature and stable than a year ago, and it seemed that this kid had indeed experienced a lot of exercise this year.

Zhang Qian said to Boyan: "Ben Hou has gone through hardships and dangers all the way, if it weren't for Captain Wang and Ying Yang's army fighting to protect each other, it would be difficult for Ben Hou to return to Middle-earth in this life." ”

Boyan said: "Being able to serve the Hou Ye and contribute to the country is the supreme glory of the Northwest Army and the Eagle Yang Army." When he saw that Wang Yangming's skills were better than in the past, he rejoiced in his heart and asked him, "How is this trip?"

When Wang Yangming heard him ask about the battle damage, a trace of gloom flashed on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Ten soldiers have died heroically. ”

Boyan nodded and said, "Be sure to properly handle the aftermath." ”

At this time, Brother Ali Buge stepped forward, Boyan didn't know him, and after listening to Zhang Qian's introduction of his identity, he hurriedly said: "General Ali is our distinguished guest, please follow us into Jiayuguan to rest, it is expected that the mission will return to Chang'an in a few days, and the general can follow the mission to Chang'an to pay homage to our monarch." ”

Ali Buge said: "I have heard the name of General Boyan for a long time, and when I see it today, it is enough to comfort my life." It's just that I, Emperor Khorezm, am still waiting to go back next time to restore my life, and besides, we are all soldiers in this line, and there are no diplomatic envoys, so I am afraid that there will be more inappropriateness when I go directly to see the emperor of your country. ”

When Boyan heard what he said, it made sense, so he had to say, "In this case, please go into my city to rest first, and then discuss." ”

They dismounted and went into the city, and each of them went back to his camp to rest. The first thing Wang Yangming did after putting down his things was to go to the logistics battalion to apply for the pensions of the ten martyred soldiers, and the financial officer gave Wang Yangming a hundred taels of gold, and he couldn't believe it: "Everyone only has ten taels of gold?"

The financial officer carefully explained to Wang Yangming: "Your Excellency may not understand, our Daxia death pension for soldiers is five taels of gold per person, and our Northwest Army is under the care of Marshal Boyan, and this amount has been raised to ten taels from military expenses, which is already the highest among the border guards on several roads." ”

Wang Yangming's heart was full of feelings, and his heart said that a human life is only worth ten taels of gold, and these soldiers all have small families, so let their families have a surplus of ten taels of gold? But the system is here, and he has no way to resist, so he has to silently receive a hundred taels of gold and go back to his barracks.

Biluo was helping him pack up his things in Wang Yangming's room, and when he came back sullenly, he hurriedly asked him what was going on, Wang Yangming told him what was going on, and Biluo said: "Brother, we still have 10,000 taels of silver in our hands, and you are not in a hurry to spend it, why don't you use this silver?"

Wang Yangming suddenly realized that he had forgotten that he still had such a net worth, so he took out 5,000 taels of silver from 10,000 taels of silver, called Gu Xifeng, handed him the 5,000 taels of silver and the 100 taels of gold, and said to him: "These are the pensions for the ten soldiers who died in our Yingyang Army, 500 taels of silver and 10 taels of gold each, and send them to their families. ”

Gu Xifeng saw that everyone had so much money, and said in his heart that this must be a large part of Wang Yangming's own subsidy, holding Wang Yangming's hand and saying, "Brother Wang, I thank you on behalf of these dead brothers!"

Wang Yangming waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to say much, and Gu Xifeng turned around to do it.

That night, Boyan was the east and held a banquet in Jiayuguan to catch the wind for Zhang Qian and his party, and at the same time wash the dust for Ali Buge, who came from afar. After returning to their hometown, they no longer had to worry about being surrounded by enemies and spies, and they no longer had to send people to take turns to keep vigil.

In the next few days, Wang Yangming was busy dealing with the follow-up affairs of the return of the mission, and he didn't even care about anything else. Three days later, Ali Buge immediately asked Zhang Qian for his resignation, Zhang Qian and Boyan saw that he was very decided, so they had to go out of the city to see off, and the 5,000 Royal Forest Army went back to China. Three days later, Wang Yangming received Zhang Qian's order: the mission and his entourage should immediately return to Beijing to resume their lives, Boyan, as the commander of the Northwest Army, should follow him back to Beijing, and Wang Yangming, as the supreme military commander and security officer of the mission, should also return to Beijing to resume his life. Wang Yangming said in his heart that this was a good opportunity, and he happened to return to China to take a look at everyone, so he happily walked along.

At this time, Boyan had already reported the good news to the capital in two ways: the beacon fire herald and the eight-hundred-mile urgent paperwork, and it was expected that the news had been obtained in the capital. Sure enough, after everyone set off, they were received by the local top administrators of each province along the way, and all of them praised Zhang Qian's trip as unprecedented, and it seemed that these magistrates had already received the news.

All the way east, after a month, everyone finally arrived in Chang'an. After resting in the post house for a day, he received a summons from the palace, saying that he wanted to summon Zhang Qian and others into the palace. When everyone came to the palace, they saw that the civil and military officials were waiting in the court today, and it turned out that today was the day of the early court. The law of Great Xia, the emperor once a dynasty on the fifth day, convened hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss state affairs, today happens to be the early dynasty, so the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty came.

Zhang Qian and others stood in line according to the order of their grades. Boyan is currently a third-grade general, and according to the sequence, he almost stands at the end of the hundred officials, you must know that these officials who are qualified to go to the early dynasty in the capital, which is not the second grade and the third grade of the official residence, and Boyan's official position is nothing at all. Wang Yangming didn't have a seat like this, so he had to stand in the corner and wait for the dispatch.

He saw in the crowd that San Yisheng actually came, standing at the forefront of the civil and military officials, this is the special preferential treatment given to him by the emperor, Wang Yangming thought to himself that this old man has never liked to participate in political affairs, and today he actually came, it seems that he is here to support his apprentice, he wants to come forward to say hello, but because the civil and military officials are standing in an orderly manner, he is no longer convenient to move around, so he has to give up, thinking that it is the same to go to see his master after the early dynasty.
