Chapter 496: Triumphant Notice

It was March, and it had been more than half a year since Liang Xiao counterattacked the desert.

Today, the mouth of the Great Wall is an extremely safe grassland.

Half of the nearly two million cattle and sheep seized for the first time in the Great Zhou were grazed in this area.

The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, which should be the case.

In the military camp at the mouth of the Great Wall, the triumphant Liang Xiao and the soldiers took advantage of the night rest to take a rare hot bath and change into robes, and then returned to Yanzhou.

The next day, passing by the barracks on the south bank of the Tianjiang River, the soldiers washed with Liang Xiao again, and by the way, they received an urgent report from the rear.

Now they represent 100,000 soldiers, and they dare not be ashamed in terms of appearance.

Liang Xiao led some of the soldiers to speed up the journey, but the progress of the 100,000-strong army to subdue Beihu along the way will be reported back and forth by Pegasus.

In the Marquis of Lanling's Mansion, the three girls climbed high in the north building and looked into the distance, full of eagerness.

Jian Wuwu sat on the side and drank tea, watching Gongsun Yue look excited, just smiling, full of helplessness.

In the early morning of the next day, both sides of the official road at the north gate of Yanzhou were overcrowded.

Guanlong Generalissimo Wei Chiping led the children of Guanlong nobles, and the new Yanzhou Taishou Zhuge Yu led the officials of the Taishou Mansion, gathered in the north of the city, looking forward to it.

There was a sound of drums and horns from the north, which lifted the spirits of the people who were waiting.

The Marquis of Lanling, who changed the fate of Da Zhou and Guan Long, has arrived!

Wei Chiping stood at the height of the crowd, hoping to see the real thing.

Until Liang Xiao and the generals appeared in the north of the city, the people waiting knelt down one after another, and their words were respectful.

"Greetings to Da Sima and Marquis of Lanling!!"

Liang Xiao has already sent someone to inform him in advance that he will not be called a prince for the time being before he is sealed.

The entourage will look at the crowded north of the city, and they are extremely excited.

This is a glory that has never been seen before, and what happened today will go down in history!

Stand to reason!

"You don't have to be polite!"

Liang Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and helped Wei Chiping, who had never known his life.

"Your Excellency is General Wei Chi?"

Wei Chiping is wearing a marshal outfit and holding the seal of Guan Long, which is not difficult to recognize.

"It's ...... lowly position"

Only then did Wei Chiping raise his eyes and look at Liang Xiao in amazement.

The young man in front of him had the same face as Liang Xun, resolute and calm, without the slightest arrogance.

"Marquis Lanling!!"

"Da Sima!!"

The excited screams of young boys and girls were heard from behind, and countless people raised their arms and cheered, tears of gratitude.

Yanzhou ushered in earth-shaking changes because of Liang Xiao.

The four great families who oppressed the people withdrew from Yanzhou with their tails between their legs, and the imperial court and private farmland gave the tenant farmers a fairly generous share, so that they would not sell their sons and daughters in disaster years.

On the city tower, the female guards guarded Gongsun Yue, Diana, Li Xinwen, and Jian Wuwu.

Jian Wuwu looked at the eldest son behind Liang Xiao, Gongsun Wuji, who was full of spirit, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

She saw unprecedented pride and fanaticism in her son's face.

It's changed, it's all changed......

He is the future head of the Gongsun family!

"Generalissimo Lanling Marquis led his troops westward, expelled the remnants of Beihu, and beheaded more than 30,000 before and after. The Marquis of Lanling has currently collected 250,000 people from Beihu, and all of them have returned to their hearts. Successively sealed the wolf Juxu, drank Ma Hanhai, and Le Shi Yanran! ”

"1,300,000 head of cattle, 1,200,000 head of sheep, 70,000 war horses, 50,000 horses, 80,000 pack horses, 40,000 taels of gold, and 200,000 taels ......of silver were collected before and after."

"Behead 50,000 white ghosts again! Our army has captured more than 80,000 pairs of armor and countless ...... of grain and grass."

The people listened to the heralds shouting about their work, and they were inexplicably excited.

They never thought that they could get richer and richer by fighting a war!

The children of the Dugu family who were hiding in the crowd wanted to cry without tears.

Those armor, livestock, gold and silver, a large part of them are supported by the major families every year, and they accumulate a lot......

Now, it's all back to Da Zhou!

Counting Liang Xiao's previous defeat of more than 200,000 Beihu troops, more than 150,000 pairs of armor were captured.

The quality of these armors may not be as good as the armaments of the Great Zhou Wuwei and Yanyun Iron Cavalry, but they are enough to arm the regular army!

This means that in recent years, the imperial court will save tens of millions of taels of military expenses in various aspects such as weapons!

And because of the salt reform, the imperial court increased its annual income by more than 20 million taels of silver compared with before the reform......

Unless Liang Xiao and Mu Dingguo rebel, the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty will usher in long-term peace and stability.

With the triumph of Liang Xiao, the Tianri Sect in the south is afraid that it will not become a climate......

Not only that, once Liang Xiao returns to Beijing, it will be the time to assist the empress to liquidate her political enemies!

The title of king already represents the empress's recognition of Liang Xiao.

There is only one pair of sisters left in the imperial family of the Great Zhou, and everyone thinks that he should be the candidate for the emperor or the concubine......

Gongsun Yue and Diana at the head of the city looked at Liang Xiao on the high platform stupidly, eager to fly in front of him now and get into his arms.

Li Xinwen just looked at him in a daze, biting his lower lip.

The cheers of the soldiers and civilians present rose one after another.

At the age of nineteen, he has such a miraculous feat!

They all firmly believe that the future Great Zhou will be better because of this Marquis of Lanling, who is about to be crowned king!

After all, their great majesty is the empress, and it's not impossible to tie the knot with the Marquis of Lanling!

Guan Long's eyes fell on Chang Polang, Wang Pojun and others, and they smiled at each other.

They made contributions with Liang Xiao and won glory for Guan Long, which can be regarded as proving Guan Long's loyalty to the imperial court!

In front of thousands of soldiers and civilians, Liang Xiao assured Wei Chiping and Guan Long's disciples.

"Guan Long's soldiers are brave in this battle, especially the Wang family, the Chang family, and the Lin family, I should truthfully report to the court for you, and Your Majesty will be rewarded."

Everyone in Guan Long was overjoyed, and their hanging hearts were also put down.

This is Liang Xiao's official statement in public, and it is impossible for the imperial court to treat Guan Long, who is consciously obedient!

"On the orders of our emperor, Youzhou, Liaodong, and Guanlong are exempt from this year's Ding tax!"

As soon as the words fell, the audience erupted in even more deafening cheers.

"My Emperor Shengming!"

"The Emperor's grace is immense!"

"Xie Lanling Martial King!"

Liang Xiao just smiled.

Duan Yunyi entrusted Xuan Wei to urgently send him the edict and official document, which was the news that he announced the reduction and exemption of Ding taxes.

It is imperative to spread the land into the mu, but it will take some time to promote it across the country, at least this year is unlikely.

Prior to this, the Ding tax was still the largest part of the people's tax revenue.

Suddenly, Liang Xiao noticed that Dongye Qingyue was standing in the aisle beside Qin Baili, looking at Qin Baili in his veins, and he knew it in his heart.

It seemed that she had a choice between Lin Xiu and Qin Baili.

This result is also good......

The overall situation has been decided, and Liang Xiao also called for the disbandment of the army and civilians, and he couldn't wait to go to the city.

Gongsun Yue and Diana threw themselves into Liang Xiao's arms with tears in their eyes.

"Great work......"

"Are you sick? Are there any injuries? Tired? ”

Li Xinwen looked at the intimate three, and was even more sad, and silently returned to the Marquis of Lanling's mansion.

Gongsun Wuji also happily found the old mother Jian Wuwu, and talked about the desert war, gushing endlessly.

Jian Wuwu just smiled and listened, and his left hand, which was holding the letter in his sleeve, trembled violently.

Liang Xiao finally coaxed the two girls to go back to the house to wait for him first, and then went to the Taishou Mansion to prepare the official document sent to the capital.
