For the Western Expedition, Shi Hu's original intention was not to extinguish the cold, but to occupy Helong and unify both sides of the Yellow River.

Now, Shi Min led the Zhao army to drive straight in, encroaching step by step, and finally captured the area of Hexi and Longyou south of the Yellow River, it can be said that Shi Min has completed the strategic purpose of occupying the land of Helong.

Zhao Jun went further, and the soldiers came to Guzang City, and there was a general trend of extinguishing the cold. Since Shi Hu was worried that Shi Mingong was high and shook the Lord, the matter of extinguishing the cold would be over.

Shi Min even wished to end the war of the Western Expedition as soon as possible and embark on his unfinished great cause of plotting to usurp the throne......

At the beginning of the summer of 343 AD, Shi Min led his army to surround Guzang, the capital of Liangguo, and could not attack it for a long time, so Shi Min was ordered by Shi Hu to send envoys to negotiate peace with Zhang Jun.

Guzang City handed over the surrender table and signed an alliance under the city.

The Liang State was abolished, Zhang Jun accepted the canonization of the Zhao State, and was worshiped as the Duke of Liang, the Mu of Liangzhou, the protector of the Western Regions, and the general of the expedition to the west, and was hereditarily replaced. At the same time, the Zhao army will withdraw from Guzang, return Cangsong, Quliu, Lixuan and other cities to Zhang Jun, with the Quliu River as the boundary, the south of the Quliu River is the sphere of influence of the Zhao State, and the north of the Quliu River is the sphere of influence of Liangzhou represented by Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun accepted the canonization of Zhao, and Zhao completed the formal unification of the north.

In this way, the Zhang clan's power in Liangzhou and the Western Regions was deeply entrenched, and although it had been attached to the Zhao State, it had the right to appoint and dismiss the local civil and military forces, which was equivalent to the existence of an independent kingdom.

It can be said that Zhang Jun can change his flag at any time and establish a cool country again!

Yecheng, Jianzhang Palace.

The sun is shining and the sky is clear.

On this day, Shi Min led the army back to Yecheng and was welcomed by the people of Yecheng. Of course, these are only superficial efforts, and in fact, it is still unknown how many people expect Zhao Jun to be able to win the battle.

More people still have nothing to do with themselves. After all, no matter whether the Zhao army won the battle or suffered a defeat, they all lived in dire straits, serving the labor that should be served, paying taxes when they should be paid, the wives who should be separated from their wives and their wives being scattered, and the families that should be ruined and their families ruined.........

More than 100,000 Zhao troops returned triumphantly, and it was impossible to enter the city in one go, not to mention the labor and mobilization, it was difficult to figure out Shi Hu's mind alone.

Shi Di, Shi Xuan and others all conspired to rebel and rebelled, to say that Shi Hu was not afraid of Shi Min at all, it was absolutely impossible.

So, Shi Min received a holy decree, and then ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to enter the city, and the rest of the soldiers were all returned to their own homes, each looking for their own mother.

Shi Min led the army into Jianzhang Palace, and on the huge square of Jianzhang Palace, he accepted the congratulations of the ministers and the reward of Shi Hu, the king of Great Zhao.

This square, located outside the council hall of Jianzhang Palace, covers an extremely wide area and stretches as far as the eye can see. The square is surrounded by palaces, the armor is horizontally displayed, the flags are fluttering, and there is a solemn atmosphere.

Shi Min arrived here with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and then passed through the huge aisle, accepted the attention of the ministers and the dragon guards, and then raised his hand, and the army behind him was suddenly stunned.

Shi Min got off the horse, holding a sword in one hand, and between walking, the sound of armor colliding "squirming", Shi Min, who was walking in a tiger's step, walked up along the high majestic platform.

There are ninety-five steps from the square to the hall of the council, which symbolizes the ninety-five supreme, and on this majestic platform, there are three royal roads, the middle of this royal road is the emperor when he returns to the court, rarely walk, next to the two royal roads, is the ministers in the great court meeting to walk.

Shi Min took the royal road in the middle, which was the honor that Shi Hu gave him.

At this moment, Shi Hu was sitting on the dragon chair at the entrance of the hall, with a table in front of him.

Shi Min walked to him, lifted his battle skirt and knelt down: "Minister Shi Min, meet my king!" Long live my king, long live, long live! ”

Shi Hu bowed slightly.

Shi Min then took out half a tiger talisman from his arms and handed it to the chamberlain on one side.

"The king, the minister is fortunate to live up to his mission, the luck of inviting the sky, with the king's merit, the conquest is successful, and the victory returns to the court!"

"Good!"

"Flat!"

It was only then that Shi Min stood up.

Shi Hu matched this half of the tiger talisman with the half tiger on the table, and there was no gap between the two.

The tiger talisman is a military talisman used by the ancient emperor to dispatch troops, and the token in the shape of a tiger is made of bronze or gold, which is split into two halves, half of which is handed over to the general, and the other half is kept by the emperor. Only two Tiger Talismans can be used together at the same time, and the holder of the Talisman will be given the right to dispatch troops.

Now that Shi Min has returned triumphantly, he naturally wants to exchange the tiger talisman for Shi Hu.

"King Xie!"

Shi Hu said with a smile: "The thorn slave is worthy of being the god of war of my Great Zhao Kingdom, the battle will be won, the attack will be overcome, and he will sweep through Helong within half a year, and he will almost extinguish the cold!" Liu Ba, proclaim! ”

Liu Ba, who was beside Shi Hu, suddenly opened the holy decree in his hand and read: "Fengtian carrier, emperor, edict - the general Shi Min, Keliang has merit, recovered Helong, merit is in Sheji, specially given food and 10,000 households, a bounty of 5,000 taels, and his son Ran Ming is crowned as a riding captain, and bows, arrows, chariots and horses are rewarded." ”

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen!" Shi Min thanked him.

The ministers were really envious and jealous of Shi Hu's generous reward for Shi Min, but more people of insight shook their heads again and again.

Shi Hu's move is tantamount to killing!

Previously, Shi Min had already paid homage to the general, sealed the Duke of Wei, and fiefdomed Huang County, and obtained the power of the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and the clothes and the tiger Ben Shihu in the gift of Jiuxi had been rewarded to him.

You must know that Shi Hu is known as the King of Great Zhao, and his biological son is only the prince of the county, like Yiyang Gong Shi Jian, Pengcheng Gong Shi Zun or something, nothing more than that. It can be said that the most honorable title of Zhao State is "Heavenly King", and Shi Min, who is a minister and a minister, was named the Duke of Wei, which can be said to be an existence above ten thousand people under one person, he is still a general, and he has no seal.

This time, Shi Mingong was a high shocker, and since he couldn't let him go to the next level, he gave him anything, so he named his eldest son as a riding captain, and even gave him a bow and arrows, chariots and horses.

Bow arrows, Tong bow arrows hundred, Xuan bow arrows thousand. Refers to special red and black bows and arrows. It is given by those who are able to levy the unrighteous.

chariots and horses, referring to the golden chariot chariot chariot (the crossbar used to pull the chariot on the exposed chariot), and the military chariot chariot chariot; Xuanmu two horses, that is, eight black horses. Those whose virtues are feasible are given chariots and horses.

The ancient emperor's highest courtesy to his courtiers Jiuxi, Shi Min has already received four chariots and horses, bows and arrows, tiger ben and clothes, and five Lexian, Zhuhu, Na Ma, axe Yue, and Ji have not been obtained.

After accepting Shi Hu's canonization and the congratulations of the ministers, Shi Min was then summoned to the side hall and received by Shi Hu.

"The King."

"Sit down."

Shi Min sat down.

Shi Hu said again: "Thorn slave, do you know why I announced your return to the court and discussed with Zhang Jun when you were besieging Guzang, so that the opportunity to extinguish the cold was missed?" ”

"The minister is puzzled, please make it clear to the king." It's best to pretend to be stupid at this time.

"The Jin State in the south sent Sima Xun as a general, known as an army of 100,000, but in fact, 50,000 soldiers passed the Shangyong, crossed the Qinling Mountains, and attacked the pass of my Zhao State, which was only 200 miles away from Chang'an. I am deeply worried! All the elite soldiers and strong generals of our Zhao army are fighting in the cool land, and they can't draw out the extra soldiers and horses to resist the Jin army for a while. ”

"I understand."

Shi Min immediately lowered his hand and said, "King, the minister is willing to lead the troops to battle again!" ”

"Nope." Shi Hu waved his hand and said, "You have been out on the expedition for a long time, and you must be physically and mentally exhausted. In this battle, let Shi Zun lead the troops, and Ma Qiu will be the deputy general. ”

"No."
