Chapter 492: Triumph!
Triumph!
Liang Xiao's official order lifted the spirits of all the soldiers.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Great Zhou only felt unprecedented satisfaction and pride.
The soldiers of Guan Long's cooperative battle were also quite excited, and even moistened their eyes.
He actually joined Liang Xiao's troops in time and also made contributions.
Returning to his hometown and returning to his hometown is a sure thing!
There was a happy smile on the face of each soldier.
The personnel who go out to fight, even if they are only logistics, or do not have a head, according to the team's combat exploits, they can at least get a reward of dozens of taels of silver!
Who dares to fight into the desert, which one is not a warrior?
Sweeping across the desert and entering a harsh environment, no one dared to think of such a thing before.
In this battle, almost all of them were going to go, including the Guanlong cavalry.
Without him, the commander of the army is the Marquis of Lanling, who created miracles!
The battle is complete, and the triumphant victory can make a name for itself.
The officers and men of the three armies have already worshiped Liang Xiao like a god.
For the empress who firmly supported Liang Xiao and rewarded the soldiers, she was also grateful to Dade.
The people of Beihu learned that Liang Xiao led his troops to annihilate 50,000 Tianri cavalry, and even erected monuments in Hanhai and Yanran to describe their achievements, and they all bowed to them, once again expressing their loyalty to the Great Zhou and never rebelling.
"Your Majesty promised before that there will be a royal marriage after the marshal returns, congratulations!"
The generals didn't know how to repay Liang Xiao, so they could only congratulate them in advance.
Liang Xiao just smiled and thanked him.
Royal Marriage......
That's what the edict says, which is enough to make people think about it.
After all, the royal family only has one pair of sisters.
"Marshal, after returning to Beijing, can we still fight in all directions?" Chang Breaking Waves is excited.
"Why don't you go back and marry Zhang Tong first?" Wang Pojun said with a smile.
The crowd laughed.
It's the spring of the following year.
One of Qin Huai's five uniques, the talented girl Zhang Tong, was engaged to Chang Polang last year.
"Get married in the capital! It is important to start a family and start a business, but it is what my generation should do to expand the territory of the country and leave a name in history! "Often breaking the waves.
The crowd agreed.
Liang Xiao also nodded and said, "Don't worry!" How can my Great Zhou Bingfeng stop here. ”
Under the joyful gaze of the generals, Liang Xiao looked around and said with a smile: "Our land is not enough, we must incorporate more territories into the territory of the Great Zhou, so that our children and grandchildren will have more 'since ancient times'!" ”
The generals laughed.
Only Liang Xiao has firm beliefs.
He was serious.
It is very important to leave more legal basis for future generations, and the clearer the better!
Long before the expedition, Duan Yunyi had issued an edict that Liang Xiao had full authority to dispose of the baggage and all the gains carried by the Northern Expedition.
When it was done, Liang Xiao gave the dead horse meat to the people of Beihu, and ordered the whole army to kill cattle and sheep, and feast on the three armies.
Liang Xiao captured only 10,000 war horses in Wolf City, but there were still more than 30,000 pull horses and 60,000 pack horses, 800,000 cattle, and 900,000 sheep.
In addition, more than 50,000 live horses, more than 80,000 dead horses, and more than 30,000 pack horses were captured from the side of the Heavenly Cavalry.
These pack horses could not carry people in battle, and most of them were snatched by the Tianri cavalry from the Mobei tribes, and were used for carrying heavy loads in peacetime, and could be used as meat supplies when necessary.
The 10,000 Heavenly Cavalry that were annihilated in the end carried the most spare.
Nearly two million head of livestock, the value is amazing, killing some cattle and sheep to reward the three armies, it is not a problem at all.
Even if the cattle and sheep are slaughtered from today, until all the soldiers return to the northern border, and then occasionally reward the people of Beihu who have performed well, it is unlikely that the consumption of cattle and sheep will exceed 100,000.
The cattle and sheep are raised along the way, and they also need the assistance of the cattle herds and sheep herds in Beihu.
But the most important thing is that everyone can go back safely!
Liang Xiao remembered something and issued a military order again.
"Count the firewood, increase the use, and make sure that the soldiers don't catch a cold!"
The soldiers began to add firewood every day, and by the way, they took care of the old and weak women and children in Beihu, and tens of thousands of people in the latter were grateful and swore allegiance.
Seeing that Liang Xiao killed the cavalry, but did not abuse the people of Beihu, Tibai was grateful, and he also took the initiative to propose.
"There is still a part of the Beihu tribe in the east and west, and the slave maid can try to repair the book and persuade him to surrender!"
Liang Xiao immediately said: "The property of those who surrendered still belongs to themselves, but the place where the whole family goes must be resettled by the imperial court." ”
"The slave knows! There is still preferential treatment for returning as soon as possible, otherwise when the king enters the desert, the consequences are not something they can bear! Those tribes have always succumbed to Huyanche, and now Huyanche has died at the hands of the marshal, so I don't worry that they will not surrender! ”
Liang Xiao was generally very satisfied with Tibai's knowledge, so he entrusted him to repair a few letters, and only selected the former Beihu officials whose families were in the team of Wolf City, set them as messengers, gave them wine and food, and promised heavy rewards.
Including after returning to the north, the whole family can give priority to becoming the people of the Great Zhou.
Dozens of Beihu officials brought dry rations and spare horses and rushed towards the vast grasslands on the east and west sides.
At the same time, Liang Xiao also sent Pegasus to the south, releasing most of the flying pigeons to report the victory to the north.
Great Chu Palace.
Emperor Chu's health deteriorated, and he vomited blood every three or five days, knowing that his time was running out, he secretly recruited Xing Feng and his wife.
Xing Feng, who had become a colt, couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw Emperor Chu like this.
Emperor Chu had the grace of reinvention for him, and even married his beloved daughter to him, and he was so favored.
The imperial doctor couldn't find out the cause, and Emperor Chu finally listened to his opinion and alienated Concubine Rou, but unfortunately it was too late.
"Son-in-law, my sons are not successful, and there is King Wu eyeing you, my father knows your ambitions in life, no matter what choice you make in the future, I don't blame you. But my father wants you to give priority to protecting yourself, your wife and children......"
Xing Feng immediately kowtowed and said: "The minister must be loyal and wise......"
Emperor Chu shook his head and sighed.
"I didn't see it until I knew the destiny of heaven. Without my Great Chu, it may not be worthy of your loyalty and wisdom, and you may not be able to have a place in the court. I only hope that you will not forget your original intention, continue to think of the people, and try to make the people suffer less......"
"I broke the covenant with Gaozu back then, instructed the generals to attack Jingzhou, angered the Great Zhou monarchs, and conquered the city, and finally Gaozu was forced to retreat south of the Hengjiang River. At the beginning of the founding of our dynasty, virtue was so thin, and now there is Liang Xiao as the Optimus Pillar Stone in the Great Zhou, which cannot be matched. You must remember that as long as you can think of the people, you can do what you think you need to do, and you can go wherever you want......"
Emperor Chu repeatedly told Xing Feng to know his intentions, but he solemnly agreed, and he was still confused in his heart.
Emperor Chu was terminally ill, and Great Chu was surging.
The spring has warmed up, and the efficiency of flying pigeons has increased a lot, and a few days later, Yanzhou has received a good news from the desert.
"I led the troops into the desert to the great Sima and the former general Lanling Marquis, beheaded 50,000 white ghosts, 30,000 Beihu cavalry, captured countless livestock and horses, and surrendered nearly 100,000 people in Wolf City without blood, and ordered to seal the heavens and Zen in Wolf Juxu Mountain and Guyan Mountain, Hanhai Shugong, Le Shi Yanran, and the triumph of the three armies, which have been !! on the way"
