The next morning, Lei Changye left Kuang Zhang and Pang Hengyi to temporarily take charge of Hexi affairs, while he took Zhang Yichao, Zhang Yitan and Master Hong Wei and a group of Guiyi Army cadres to escort a group of Xihu generals who surrendered during the Western Expedition, including Shang Wanwen and Tuoba Huaiguang, and boarded the Flying Fish Lady's ship.

The Flying Fish Lady ship roared towards Chang'an City according to the fixed route. Because Lei Changye often travels back and forth between Chang'an and Shazhou, and the route is already familiar, the time to fly back to Chang'an this time is half a day faster than usual, and he arrived at the airport in Jinchangfang in less than three days.

Seeing the Flying Fish Lady ship coming back, the entire Jinchangfang was cheering.

At this moment, the autumn harvest of the entire Tang Dynasty 48 Fang Town has basically ended. The farmland in Guanzhong and Hanzhong has a bumper harvest because of the use of Lei Changye's Y Shuangyou seeds, and Chang'an City has been rich in the warehouse just by collecting the money and grain from these two places, and the Hubu Shangshu has this kind of rich and surplus happiness for the first time.

And this year, the advantages of the royal housekeeper were fully reflected, and the expenses in the Daming Palace plummeted by more than half, plus Emperor Kaicheng took the lead in advocating frugality, and also dispersed more than half of the three palaces and six courtyards, which was a large amount of savings. The warehouse of the household department is half full of money this year, and there is even a kind of sadness that the money cannot be spent.

The abundance of the treasury is reflected in the prosperity of all industries in Chang'an City, and they live and work in peace and contentment. With the gradual completion of the development zone south of the sixth Hengjie in Chang'an City, new residential areas and commercial areas of the same style in Lei Gong Town have sprung up in these square areas. At the same time, a large number of inn-style Wumeng guild halls with novel styles and unique styles have been built near residential areas and commercial areas, and have become a place to absorb the majority of masters who have defected to Wumeng.

Next to the airport, a majestic martial arts viewing ground stands majestically, surrounded by four brand-new painting workshops. Around Jinchangfang, large and small long night card clubs have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

The Bashu craftsmen and Wumeng craftsmen invited by Lei Changye from Jiangnan are doing the final finishing work for the new development zone in the southern city of Chang'an. At this moment, when they saw the Flying Fish Lady ship returning with a full load, they immediately cheered.

Another group of cheering crowds came from the Jianghu people in the Wumeng Guild Hall. Bai Yinyi did not form an army on weekdays, and after the Western Expedition, Bai Yinyi who came to defect from all over the country received a rich military salary and went home after being disarmed.

However, many unsatisfied warriors and Jianghu guests were reluctant to leave, so they relied on the rich military salaries obtained from the Western Expedition to live in the Wumeng Hall set up by Lei Changye. Every day, I went to Bai Yinyi to inquire about information from the general rudder of the Martial Alliance in the Protector's Mansion, and by the way, I saw what the Martial Alliance's hanging red could do.

Lei Changye asked Ye Luoting and Bai Yao of the Arrangement Bureau to liaise with the director of the Chang'an Arrest Department, sort out some cases that are more difficult to arrest and solve into hanging red names, and distribute them to these Jianghu guests, according to the quantity and quality of the completed hanging red, decide whether they can officially become members of the Wumeng, and grade their contributions? According to the different levels of contributions, the benefits will be given to the members of the Wumeng.

These Jianghu guests who didn't catch the big war in the Western Expedition excitedly held the Wumeng to hang red? Actively mobilize your brains and dig into your brains? has really solved a lot of big cases? Let the green forest bandits in Guanzhong and Hanzhong areas, Jiangyang thieves disappear one after another. These Jianghu guests also officially joined the Wumeng? earned a large number of auction points and lived a good life in Chang'an.

Sometimes? Zixin and Sun Shangxiang, who returned to Chang'an, will also organize a training camp for these new members of the Martial Arts Alliance in the southern camp of Baiyinyi? And according to Lei Changye's method, they were instilled with the concept of the Martial Alliance, brainwashed intensively, and developed the addiction of silver righteousness.

These new members of the Wumeng were brainwashed and completely washed by the two beauties one by one, listen to the words of the Wumeng? Do the affairs of the Martial Alliance? The three core ideas of the people who do the martial arts are the same, and all of them have grown in the depths of their minds and become their core values.

At this time, when I saw the Flying Fish Lady's boat, I immediately knew that it was the alliance leader who was back, so I naturally rushed out of the room and opened my throat in Jinchangfang to cheer? I'm afraid that others won't know that I'm already a member of the Wumeng.

Other people who participated in the cheers included the merchants who stopped in Jinchangfang, the princes and rich sons who visited Jinchangfang in Chang'an City? There are even sixteen royal families like Li Xiangchun and Li Shuyi.

And through the linkage of the Prancing Circus and the Lei Gong brand, many people in Chang'an Pingtou know that there is a good thing called the Lei Gong brand in the world? You don't need money to get started, and you can still play against the princes? If you play well, you can still play Lei Gong Opera for free? Become a prancing horse in the Prancing Circus? A famous hero who roams the battlefield.

Therefore, with the completion of the Long Night Card Society, Lei Gongpai also became popular in Chang'an City. Countless people and warriors who itched because of the suspension of the Leaping Circus went into the Long Night Card Club to play the Lei Gong Card to chat to relieve their worries, but they did not expect that because of the rich gameplay and various routines of the Lei Gong Card, they were deeply addicted to it, and the leisure time after the autumn harvest was played non-stop every day.

When the Flying Fish Lady ship arrived, these Lei Gong players also ran out to watch the excitement and joined in the cheers.

In the cheers of all kinds of people in Chang'an, Lei Changye took Zhang Yichao, Zhang Yitan, Master Hong Biao and the generals of the Guiyi Army, and escorted the depressed Shang Wanwen, Tuoba Huaiguang and other Xihu generals with the Eight Hundred Yin Generals, and walked down from the Flying Fish Lady ship one after another.

Qiu Feiying, the lieutenant of the Shence Army, who learned the news, had already led Zhao Huan, Dong Yan, Meng Xun, Qian Suan and others to lead the North Gate Suwei and Jin Wuwei to line up in an incomparably magnificent formation on the street, solemnly welcoming the arrival of the generals of the Guiyi Army and the generals of Xihu.

Lei Changye's leader Zhang Yichao and others got off the Flying Fish Lady's boat, and Qiu Feiying immediately stepped forward to inform him of Emperor Kaicheng's arrangements. Emperor Kaicheng announced to the civil and military officers this morning that a ceremony would be held at noon today. At this time, the Ministry of Rites had already contacted the Shence Army and sorted out a complete set of procedures for sacrificing prisoners. Lei Changye naturally knew about it a long time ago, and had already informed everyone on the ship.

This time, the Western Expedition to the Baiyin Yi Army and the Guiyi Army were brilliant, defeating hundreds of thousands of Xihu troops, capturing the famous Xihu wise general Shang Wanwen and the fierce general Tuoba Huaiguang, and capturing the eleven states of Hexi, which was a brilliant victory that the Tang Dynasty had not seen for a long time.

Lei Changye naturally would not let Emperor Kaicheng miss this golden opportunity to show off the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and subdue the commanders of all the world. At the same time, Zhang Yichao and others can also take the opportunity to be rewarded for their contributions to the recovery of Hexi.

Therefore, this time the prisoner sacrifice ceremony was actually planned for a long time. However, Lei Changye didn't want Zhang Yichao and the others to know so quickly, firstly, he wanted to surprise them, and secondly, he was afraid that telling them too early would make them restless.

When Zhang Yichao and others heard the news, they were overjoyed. They just wanted to go back to Chang'an to see the style of the Celestial Empire's homeland, but they never thought that they would encounter such a big scene.

"Don't be nervous, Your Majesty is approachable and funny, you just have to be at ease. Lei Changye smiled slightly.

Emperor Kaicheng speaks the same as him, so he is naturally approachable and funny.

Having said that, Lei Changye didn't expect that the Ministry of Rites would be so extravagant in order to organize this grand ceremony of sacrificing prisoners. Emperor Kaicheng sat out of the Daming Palace in the imperial chariot, and solemnly greeted the generals of the Guiyi Army and the generals of Xihu with the honor guard of the Son of Heaven on Zhuque Street.

Suzaku Street is one post in five steps, and one post in ten steps. The entire street has already been carefully cleaned and even sprinkled with five-colored flower petals. The scent of flowers and musk in the air is refreshing.

When I came to Suzaku Street, there were already people standing on both sides of the street. Chang'an is empty today, and all the people ran out to meet the triumphant soldiers.

Although Lei Changye won the Hexi Corridor, he had not completely eliminated the Xihu Empire, so he insisted on planning on the front line and did not return to Chang'an to report on his work. Although the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty kept asking for orders to reward him, they could not find any opportunities.

Now he returned to Chang'an with the soldiers of the Guiyi Army and the general of Xihu, which happened to give Emperor Kaicheng the opportunity to reward.

In the cheers of the people of Chang'an, Lei Changye was given the title of King of Longyou County by Emperor Kaicheng, in charge of the affairs of the Western Regions, and in charge of the military affairs and people's livelihood of Beiting, Anxi and Hexi. Zhang Yichao was given the title of Envoy of the Guiyi Army, Doctor Zijin Guanglu, in charge of the military affairs of the eleven states in Hexi. Zhang Yitan, Hong Wei and the generals of the Guiyi Army were also rewarded very much, and everyone was grateful to Dade and was so excited that they couldn't cry.

The Shang maidservants, Tuoba Huaiguang and a number of Xihu generals who asked for surrender on the street also had their own rewards, and gave them permanent residence in Chang'an Jinchangfang to spend their old age in peace.

Shang Wanwen, Tuoba Huaiguang and a group of Xihu generals got their wishes, and they threw themselves to the ground one after another to thank the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Seeing the high-ranking officials of Xihu prostrate on the ground, respecting the Tang Emperor, an unparalleled sense of national pride arose spontaneously in the people who watched the ceremony.

All the people spontaneously knelt on the ground and shouted loudly to Emperor Kaicheng: "Long live my emperor, long live!"

This long live voice echoed over Chang'an City for a long time, and the aftermath was endless. Seeing Emperor Kaicheng's supreme demeanor today, the civil and military officials couldn't help but burst into tears.

In the twenty years that Chang'an was ruled by Qiu Shiliang, how could he have thought that Datang would have the glorious years it has now.

Finally waited for the end of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, Lei Changye took Zhang Yichao and others to the Provincial Office of the Military Aircraft of Bai Yinyi from the Protector Mansion. Zhang Yichao and Zhang Yitan were still floating under their feet until they walked into the conference hall.

"Two generals, how is today's prisoner sacrifice ceremony?" asked Lei Changye with a grin.

"Heavenly grace, heavenly grace!" Zhang Yichao saluted again and again in the direction of Daming Palace, and said with emotion.

"Lieutenant, you only told us that you wanted to go back to Chang'an to see the scenery. I didn't expect you to delay the prisoner sacrifice ceremony until now. We deserve it. Zhang Yitan said gratefully.

"Exactly. These captives were all designed and captured by the Lieutenant, and they are all your credit. Zhang Yichao also said eagerly.

The two generals cherished their homeland and were willing to fight for their lives to recover Shazhou. The reason why these captives were captured was the righteous act of the two. I don't dare to take credit. Lei Changye said with a smile, "I only hope that in the future battle to open up the Western Regions, the two of you can fight side by side with me, expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty, open up gold trade routes, and ensure eternal prosperity." ”

"I am willing to die for the lieutenant!" Zhang Yichao and Zhang Yitan hugged their fists with solemn expressions.

"Whew, okay!" Lei Changye's heart finally landed on a boulder. If Zhang Yichao and Zhang Yitan are not greedy for Chang'an scenery, they are willing to work with him to develop the Western Regions, this is his new right-hand man. The idea of a multi-racial mixed army in the future is finally being realized.
