Chapter XI
It took more than a month, and Chenzhou was actually broken by a young man who had just reached the crown.
That Xiaolang's name is Dong Lian, is a child of the Dong clan, since he was a child, he loves military books, it is said that Dong Yi failed to return, he made a strategy, Dong Yi was furious after seeing it, and immediately arrested him, five horses were divided, but he was rescued by Dong Yi's military advisor, and led Dong Lian to kneel for three hours, Dong Yi saw the two, and I don't know what the military advisor told him, since then Dong Lian has been following behind the military advisor.
According to the route of the march agreed at the beginning, it should now be necessary to go to Xincheng, then cross Wuguan, and go north along the river.
I don't want to be resisted as soon as I arrived in Chenzhou, it is said that Huo Ren sent Wu Wan's army to defend Chenzhou, led by his son and nephew, who is quite capable of military affairs, but this time he was captured by Dong Liansheng, Dong Yi was overjoyed, and directly mentioned him as General Zuo.
Although Huo Ren's nephew was talented but somewhat self-contained, he didn't take it seriously when he saw a mere child, and was lured by Dong Lian's 2,000 soldiers and horses, and was later surrounded and annihilated.
More than a month passed when Xue Yu learned about these things, and Dong Yi's military report was sent back for a long time. It doesn't matter if the military report is sent back or not, it's just that the emperor is unhappy, but he can't do anything if he is unhappy, so he only sends people to inquire every day.
Xue Yu's life is still so plain, reading books every day, planting flowers and plants, or doing embroidery. Only her embroidery has not grown, and Aunt Su said that she can't bear that heart, maybe he doesn't have the talent for it.
Less than half a year after Dong Yi went north this time, Liu Yan in the northwest went east, and in less than a year, the two of them almost carved up Huo Ren's territory.
Dong Yi made up his mind to capture Kyoto this time, and the battle of Chai Cheng was tragic, with hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded on both sides, and corpses all over the field.
Huo Ren's main force was almost exhausted in this battle, as for Dong Yi, the main force lost more than half, and several sons of the Dong family died in this battle, and the battle was not unpretentious.
However, Huo Ren was seriously injured in this battle, and when he fled to Wucheng, he was captured by the army led by Dong Lian, and when he returned to Dong Yi's big tent, he was dying, and he was gone in two days, Dong Yi found a place to bury Huo Ren.
The army marched all the way north, and the garrison of Kyoto had already heard that Huo Ren was dead, and opened the city gate early to wait for Dong Yi's arrival, and the people who settled in Kyoto all cheered.
At the same time, the army sent to escort the queen mother and the emperor has also set off.
When Xue Yu learned the news, he was not excited, but he didn't dare to believe it, and asked Aunt Su several times before he was convinced that he was really going back to Kyoto.
Xue Yu specially went to see the emperor, and his health has not been reconciled for more than a year. Originally, his physique was weak, but since he contracted the wind chill last year, he has fallen into a cough, and he has not been able to get better intermittently.
When Xue Yu arrived, Mrs. Lu was feeding him medicine.
Xiao Zheng waved his hand and signaled that he would not drink it, and he drank less than one-third of a bowl of decoction.
"I don't want to go back in my lifetime."
"I'll come," Xue Yu took the bowl from Mrs. Lu's hand, and handed the spoon to Xiao Zheng's lips.
"Do you still think I'm a child?"
Xue Yu didn't answer, and motioned for him to drink with his eyes, Xiao Zheng chuckled and shook his head, took the Tao Yu bowl in her hand, and drank it all.
Handing the bowl to the waiter on the side, Xue said, "This time the journey is far away, and your health is not good, travel lightly, don't bring what you can, and someone will buy it when you go back to Kyoto." ”
Xiao Zheng coughed lightly and said, "Let Mrs. Lu handle this matter." ”
"Yes."
The queen mother and the emperor are leaving, and the palace maids in the palace are leaving, and the hearts of the people below are in chaos. Xue Yu didn't care about this matter and left it to the queen.
This time back to Beijing, a group of hundreds of people, all the way stop-and-go, it took more than two months to walk half the way.
Xue Yu got out of the carriage and walked towards the emperor's Luan, and before he could reach it, he heard a constant cough coming from inside, and the sound seemed to be pinched by his throat, with a weak struggle.
When the emperor's attendants saw her approaching, they saluted her.
"How is the emperor?"
"Yu Niangniang, the emperor has a cough again, and Lu Niangniang ordered to rest in place for two hours."
Xue Yu heard a weak female voice from inside, the voice stopped, and the curtain of the car embroidered with dragon patterns was lifted.
Mrs. Lu got out of the car and greeted her, "Niang Niang Wan'an." ”
Xue Yu glanced at her, there was a coquettish hidden between her eyebrows, her body became more and more plump, and she was accompanied by Mrs. Lu along the way.
Xue Yu nodded, "Since the emperor is unwell, then rest in place, tired of you taking care of the emperor, if there is anything that can't be opened, I will tell someone to say it." ”
"It is the duty of a concubine to take care of the emperor, and I dare not say that I am tired."
The emperor can be said to have favored her alone over the years, but since she gave birth to Xiao Changzuo, she has no heirs. I also ate a lot of the doctor's prescription, but it didn't work at all.
Xue Yu returned to the carriage, the maid brought the tea, took a sip, the water was not right, it was a little astringent, but it was estimated that the clear spring water in the wilderness could not be found.
After using tea and snacks, Xue Yu closed his eyes and recuperated until the carriage began to shake, and two hours passed.
It took three months to travel all the way from the capital to Kyoto.
When entering the city, Xue Yu lifted the brocade curtain of the car window, and the streets were full of people kneeling on both sides, and the buildings seemed to have not changed, but for those who were familiar with Kyoto in the past, everything in the city had changed, and even the taste was different. He was slaughtered, and Huo Ren showed no mercy to Kyoto and its people when he first came in.
When they arrived at the city gate, Xue Yu and the emperor got out of the car, and Dong Yi had already led the generals and hundreds of officials to greet the emperor.
Dong Yi will give the emperor a son at any time, and nominally he is still the emperor's teacher.
Xue Yu looked at the thin emperor in front of him, the wind blew his dragon robe, and the voices of the generals and Baiguan Shan seemed to shake him down.
The three-month journey seemed to scorch him, Xue Yu stood beside him, he actually hid a few gray hairs in his hair, and he was only a teenager.
He has no longer been close to her over the years, and he does not discuss with him when he has anything, except for holiday greetings, he rarely visits her palace gate.
"Zhongqing is flat, this time Da Sima beheaded Na Huo Ren, eliminated harm for the imperial court, and recaptured Kyoto, he is a great hero of the imperial court and a benefactor of my Xiao family......."
I'm afraid that there is no official function in the vicinity that can match Dong Yi's exploits, and he is now above 10,000 people under one person.
It is a major event for the emperor to return to the palace, and there are many and complicated things to deal with.
On the second day after returning to the palace, he issued an amnesty to the world, rewarded meritorious officials, and lifted the curfew for one month.
Huo Ren has dominated Kyoto over the years, and the palace has changed a lot. On their way back to Kyoto, Dong Yi had already asked people to start repairing and renovating the palaces, and the bricks, walls, tiles, and corners all revealed new ideas.
Various banquets were held in the palace, and the ministers of various places and the princes of the feudal divisions sent people back to the court to congratulate them.
Xue Yu still lives in the Changming Palace, and many of the furnishings and arrangements have changed greatly from before.
Although Aunt Su didn't need her to work harder for everything, it still made her tired.
This time, Dong Yi was also injured and recuperated at home for more than a month, and the emperor personally visited him several times.
