307. Return
Two and a half months.
The 200,000 troops led by Zhang Qi finally saw the magnificent city of Liaoning.
This time the march of the army once again allowed Zhang Qi to learn a lot of experience.
I thought that they would be able to return to Liaodi in two months, but they never thought that even with the assistance of Liaodi's horses, it would still take them two and a half months to return here.
Dusty.
Hu Luqi, the current city lord of Liaoning, who received the news in advance, went out of the city with a group of officials to greet him, and the momentum was huge.
"We see you! Your Majesty! β
Zhang Qi stepped forward immediately.
"You are. Lu Qi? β
"Yes, your lordship, humble Hu Luqi, fortunately, Hu Ling, the lord of the city, is now in charge of Liaoning affairs."
Zhang Qi nodded.
"Since it is Hu Ling's meaning, it means that you have merit, raise your head and chest, the lord of a city, why be humble."
"No!"
Hu Luqi was full of smiles, he could see that the king was supporting him, and his ability to sit on the throne of the city lord was not only decided by Sister Hu Ling alone, but also the meaning of the king.
"Your Excellency! Open the gates! Played! β
The musicians who had been prepared for a long time played the triumphant sound.
In the face of such a magnificent city that suddenly appeared, almost all the Han troops were stunned.
They didn't expect that there would be such a giant city in the bitter cold Liaodi that was not worse than Chang'an.
Of course, those who had this idea were all middle- and high-level Han army generals, especially Ah Liang, who only understood at this moment what General Wei said to him that day, 'Zhang Qi is also the Ming Lord'.
It turns out that this is something that has been planned for a long time.
Zhang Qi nodded at Lu Qi, pulled the reins and faced the soldiers.
"All the soldiers accept the arrangement of Liaoning officials, log in to the household registration information, what Ben Hou said that day still works, those who want to continue to march remain the same official position, those who have no intention of fighting in the array, accept the grant of land, Liaodi is not as good as Han land, and the harsh taxes are not much, but the lawbreakers will not be spared, I hope you know!"
conveyed one by one, and everyone heard what Zhang Qi said clearly.
is about to start a new life, and the soldiers of the Han army are also full of mixed tastes.
But this is already the case, and they have no choice but to hope that what Zhang Qi said is true.
Judging from the relationship in the past few months, most of the Han army soldiers chose to believe Zhang Qi.
At least he was the most generous general they had ever met.
"No!"
"Understood!"
"Got it!"
"General rest assured!"
The responses were varied, and Zhang Qi didn't care much, turned the horse again, and said to Hu Luqi on his side.
"Arrange for officials to register information as soon as possible, and disperse these soldiers among the villages in various places."
"No!"
"You are tired from the journey, go back to the city to rest first, and leave it to Lu Qi and the brothers of the Liaodong Army here."
Zhang Qi snorted, beat his horse and walked towards the city.
Outside the city, the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army divided the soldiers into 19 phalanxes, with 10,000 people on one side, which was convenient for Liaoning officials to count.
Zhang Qi had just entered the city on his front foot.
In the direction of the steppe, another army of almost 10,000 people came quickly.
Flags, joints, secret words.
It's your own people.
The two armies were sent to deal with the Mobei royal court and the army that pursued Yi Zhixian.
They're back, too.
Dugu Hong took the lead, Ah Yan followed, and behind the two of them were thousands of cavalry.
Huo Qu's disease is also among them.
It's just that along the way, the look of doubt on his face is very strong.
Wrong direction.
This is not the direction back to Liaoxi.
But Dugu Hong used Zhang Qi's name to say that there was a new military order, and he came all the way with the army.
Just before arriving in Liaoning.
Dugu Hong met with the heralds in Liaoning, and when he learned that 200,000 Han soldiers were registered in front of the city, he made a gesture to Ah Yan.
The latter nodded vaguely and slowed down the speed of the warhorse.
"All the army trimmed!"
"Phewβ"
The fast-moving cavalry soon stopped.
Huo Quzhi dismounted suspiciously, and was about to step forward to talk to Dugu Hong, when Ah Yan walked over and threw over a bag of wine.
"There is a big war coming soon, hurry up and rest."
Huo Quzhi was stunned for a moment, he noticed something, but he couldn't say it.
"Is there a military order?"
Ah Yan sighed.
"General Huo, we really want to leave you with dignity."
"Do it!"
After saying that, the iron cavalry of the Liaodong Army, who had already been prepared, swarmed up, and the unprepared Huo Qubing fell to the ground.
Ah Yan looked at Huo Quai, who was struggling desperately and angry, and sighed.
He had talked with a group of brothers.
This young general who is not very old, but his marching style is similar to Zhang Qi, is really not bad, and a group of Liaodong iron cavalry also recognized him, but recognition is recognition, and they have no mercy when it is time to do it.
Only the Hun cavalry who have been absorbed one after another are still a little unclear.
But when they saw that all the commanders were gathered around, they did not dare to move.
"You guys!"
"The Marquis of Liao is not waiting for you, how dare you rebel!"
"Alas, General Huo, we have not betrayed the Marquis of Liao, and now that we have tied you up, we will also bring you to the Marquis of Liao."
An iron cavalry captain who followed Huo Qubing from Monan to Mobei sighed and said.
"What?!"
Huo Quzhi couldn't believe it, and then he was even more angry!
"Impossible! Er et al. Wait! β
After waiting for a long time, Huo Quzhi slowly lowered his head.
Dugu Hong waved his hand, and a group of soldiers put him on the back of the horse and tied him up again.
"Go home!"
"Home!"
Liaoning is close at hand, everyone is happy, the speed of the whole cavalry is very fast.
In just two quarters of an hour, they came to the front of Liaoning City.
At this moment, the phalanx of the Han army outside the city wall is being registered by Liaoning officials.
Huo Quzhi's eyes widened on horseback.
Because he recognized that this was the Han army led by his uncle, and in one of the phalanxes, Ah Liang's face was clearly seen by him.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
"I want to ask! Fast! Put me down! β
On horseback, Huo Qubing struggled vigorously, and his movements made countless Han soldiers and Liaoning officials cast their eyes.
Ah Liang is also among them.
"Huo Xiaolang!"
Ah Liang stood up,
"What are you going to do!"
The officers and men of the Liaodong Army, who were in charge of security, drew their sabers and looked at Ah Liang.
The eyes and their unfriendliness, if he dares to move, he will be divided on the spot.
"I want to talk to that, General Wei has something he wants me to tell him."
The eyes of the generals of the Liaodong Army showed a bit of thought.
However, the saber was not unsheathed, but a sergeant was called in and whispered.
"No!"
The ordered soldier ran towards Liaoning City, and the general beckoned to the Liaoning Iron Cavalry.
"You wait!"
The general left a word, and ran to the horse tied to Huo Quai.
"Don't call, if you agree to talk, you can talk, now wait quietly and wait!"
"You!"
Huo Qubing wanted to be angry, but he was anxious to know Wei Qing's news, so he chose to endure it.
