0946 The Soul Returns

Because the Chinese and foreign mansions have not been thoroughly cleaned up, and the family members of the former Otsuka Zai Yu Wentai still live in the inner mansion, and the entourage of the king of Taiyuan is also very large, the old residence in the city can hardly be accommodated, so he simply temporarily lived in a military city outside the city.

I don't know whether Yu Jin was intentional or unintentional, the military city that was cleared out in advance was the military garrison when Li Tai was the governor of the rear army in Taiwan. Li Tai did not reject this, the reason why he arranged for Yu Jin to return early was also to release a slightly humane signal to the people in the same state, so as not to make a big mess when someone jumped over the wall during his return.

Today's King of Taiyuan is already the expectation of the masses inside and outside, and the emperor Tuoba Kuo has made no secret of his dependence on the King of Taiyuan.

Although the time spent with each other is not long, Tuoba Kuo has been deeply shocked by the former Otsuka Zai Yuwentai since he ascended the throne, and he has suffered a lot of frightens in the past.

Moreover, unlike Yuwentai, the Li clan of Longxi, who was born in Taiyuan, also had a deep affection and close relationship with their Yuan and Wei clans.

Therefore, in the process of welcoming the king of Taiyuan, the emperor couldn't help but make many intimate actions that violated the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, and when he moved to the military city, he repeatedly invited the king of Taiyuan to go with him. When Li Tai refused again and again, the emperor simply abandoned his horse and entered the city side by side.

The civil and military masses of Tongzhou City, which belonged to the imperial court and the Chinese and foreign governments, naturally followed all the way into the city, and at this time, the city had already arranged a banquet for the king of Taiyuan.

After Li Tai entered the city lord's mansion here, he saw some overly beautiful and festive decorations, including some drinks prepared in the banquet, and ordered them to be removed. Of course, this is not necessarily the negligence of the officials who prepared the matter and made such an untimely arrangement, after all, whether it is appropriate or not still needs to be decided by the king of Taiyuan himself.

Because of the removal of these arrangements, the atmosphere has also dropped a little, and everyone no longer dares to grin and show their back molars to show their enthusiasm for the return of King Taiyuan.

The crowd in the hall sat down, and there were more people outside the hall lined up until the word came out in the hall, and the people outside the hall dispersed to sit down in the houses on the left and right.

"This expedition to the east is unfavorable, Wang Neng regardless of the past, resolutely led the army north, turned the war into victory, and punished the thieves, which can be described as magnificent! I and the people of Kansai all look up to Wang Wei to enjoy peace, and I have washed the wind and sand stained by the journey for the king!"

The Emperor sat side by side with Li Tai, and because Li Tai ordered the removal of the drinks, the Emperor personally prepared the soup and served it to Li Tai.

Li Tai hurriedly took it with both hands, but did not drink it directly, but pointed to a number of Feng and other generals sitting down in the hall with a spoon in one hand and the other and said, "The minister does not dare to use the merits of breaking the enemy. All of them have slain the enemy side by side, and it is also a blessing for Your Majesty to have this loyal and brave man to defend the community."

When the emperor heard this, he hurriedly ordered the waiters to serve soup, and he distributed the case to a group of Shannan generals who followed Li Tai back to China.

A total of 10,000 soldiers followed Li Tai into the customs this time, as well as Shi Lutong, the governor of the Chinese and foreign provinces who stayed in Tongguan before, and others. As for Gao Le, Li Bi and others, they remained in Tongguan to meet and arrange for the defeated troops of the Chinese and foreign governments who were still returning from Heluo one after another.

Although it was not a formal court meeting at the moment, Li Tai also knew that the people in Guanzhong were quite curious about the outcome of the battle, so he gave a brief description to the emperor and the people present.

This war was divided into two phases, and before Li Tai led his troops to arrive, the Chinese and foreign governments were defeated all the way, and the specific losses were impossible to count.

As for Li Tai, after the battles with the Northern Qi, he had a lot of results. The first is to recover the previously lost territories and cities such as Xin'an Han Pass and Yiyang Jiuqu City, so that the front has basically restored the situation before the war.

The second and most important thing is to rescue a large number of scattered and captured Chinese and foreign soldiers, and the number of soldiers rescued from the Northern Qi army and negotiated and returned to the trade alone reached nearly 30,000. As for the Chinese and foreign government soldiers who fled and took the initiative to cling to them, there were about 20,000 people.

These people are the essence of the government soldiers accumulated by the Chinese and foreign governments for many years of military construction, in other words, if Li Tai does not go to Heluo

If they participated in the war, even if they did not consider the personnel who died in the war in the Chinese and foreign governments, it would be difficult for these more than 50,000 soldiers who were scattered and captured to return to Guanzhong.

After hearing this data, the people present couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and they didn't even dare to imagine what the Kansai regime would be like after such a defeat if the King of Taiyuan had not participated in the war and brought about a turnaround.

Although the Battle of Bishan many years ago also suffered heavy losses, at least the children of the soldiers of the Xihao Qiang and the township could be armed and replenished. But if the hundreds of thousands of troops of this crusade were all buried in this battle, the blow to the Kansai regime would be fatal!

Some of the Guanzhong Shiliu who had been persecuted by Duke Luoyang and Li Zhi and others before, originally had some faint complaints in their hearts that the King of Taiyuan did not go directly to Guanzhong to take power, and even went to Heluo at the near and far, and connived at the misfortune of such a vertical son as Duke Luoyang, and even the great Sima Duguxin was killed, and felt that the King of Taiyuan had made a mistake in this accident.

But when they heard that the King of Taiyuan had saved so many Kansai Erlang in Heluo, such thoughts in the hearts of these people suddenly disappeared.

If the king of Taiyuan went directly to Guanzhong at that time, of course, he could successfully hold the power, but what he inherited was only a dilapidated and withered, green and damaged Guanzhong, and it would be difficult to expand the army in the future.

Just when the masses here were still lamenting the great achievements of the King of Taiyuan, another team also arrived in Tongzhou City soon after, that is, the team escorting the coffin of Otsuka Zai Yu Wentai.

Unlike the bustle of the hundreds of thousands of troops supporting the Eastern Expedition a few months ago, and the scenery of the emperor and the civil and military ministers welcoming the king of Taiyuan not long ago, there were only more than 1,000 guards before and after Yuwentai's coffin, and it was also the Shannan Dao soldiers led by Li Quji.

Yuwen Hu was dressed in sackcloth, with his hair and feet, walking on foot beside the cart carrying his uncle's coffin, the corners of his lips were cracked, his throat was dry and hoarse, when he looked up and saw the gate of Tongzhou City, he suddenly came from sorrow, and he held the coffin and called in a dry and weak voice: "Uncle, the soul returns, returns...... We're home!"

In front of the gate of Tongzhou City, when the brigade followed the emperor and the king of Taiyuan to the military city, Yu Jin arranged for Yuwentai's children and concubines to wait here.

Yuwentai has many children, but the eldest daughter died with the abolished emperor Yuanqin, the eldest two sons also died one after another, the third son Yuwenjue is in prison, the fourth son Fucheng Gongyu Wenyong is twelve years old, and the rest of the sons are younger, and some are still held in swaddling clothes by servants.

These young men and women don't know the cruelty of life and death, some of them still stomp their feet in the cold wind and complain, and when they see their father's coffin, they don't know what happened, but when they see their older brothers and sisters weeping and crying, there are two people who can't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

Yu Jin was still enduring his grief, but when he heard the children laughing ignorantly, he finally couldn't hold back his old tears, stepped forward and pressed the two children who were unaware of the coffin of his father, and said sadly: "Silly child, it's you Aya in the car. You have no father since then......

In the world, joy and sorrow have never been connected, and Tongzhou City, a city that witnessed Yuwentai's rise in Kansai and monopolized hegemony, is now only silent and deserted to welcome the return of the old master.

As the new leader of the overlord, Li Tai naturally has personnel that he needs to deal with, and it is also a kindness to leave the Chinese and foreign mansions to the Yuwen family to live and mourn.

In front of the Chinese and foreign mansions, Yu Wenjue, Wei Chigang and Cai You, who had been imprisoned before, were also released by Kai En at this time, and returned to the coffin of Yu Wentai in front of the mansion.

Yuwenjue has been in a state of numbness since he was captured by Yu Jin, and when he saw his father's coffin at this time, he rushed forward and lay on the coffin and cried, "Aya, I was wrong! Aya save me, save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to ......."

Yuwen Hu, who was already sad and tired, was so weak that after seeing Yuwen Jue, his anger suddenly surged in his heart, and a surge of strength poured out, and he stepped forward to tear Yuwen Jue down, still scolding in a hoarse tone: "Son, son! Uncle is a hero for half a life, why did he give birth to your evil seed...... But if you can be a little self-controlled, why should family affairs be like this......

A soldier stepped forward and separated the scuffling two, and Wei Chigang, who looked extremely haggard, stepped forward to support the crumbling Yuwen Hu, still self-contained

Unwilling to give up, he whispered to Yuwen Hu: "Cousin, Li Boshan is still willing to keep you, whether or not he is willing to ......?"

He wanted to ask Li Boshan if he would be grateful for his old feelings and open up his face, but Yuwen Hu just shook his head gloomily after hearing this, and said, "Don't think too much, don't think too much...... He's just, he just can't bear the desertion of Uncle Lingtang......

We can't escape, none of us can escape, for the sake of Uncle's reputation behind him, we will definitely die! I deserve it, and I am not afraid of death, but I hope that he will keep his promise, and he has promised me that he will let me see me again as long as I have properly mourned for my uncle."
