Chapter 49: Return to Beijing
Hongyu struggled all night, and didn't figure out what to do, so he had to pack up his things and wait for Wu Xiao to come back.
Half a month later, it was time to return to Beijing to report on his work, and at night, the residence of the Mobei Inspector of Changzhou was brightly lit, and the generals above the command and the staff officers headed by Li Mao were all present.
Wu Xiao sat on the main seat, Zhao Hu stood behind him as usual, Li Mao sat in the first position on the left hand, Sun Deren, the guard general of Yanmen in the first position on the right hand, and the rest sat in turn on both sides, but the atmosphere in the hall was a little dignified.
"General, it is necessary to go, but Sun believes that it is necessary to plan everything, and how to arrange and cooperate with all parties must be prepared in advance. Sun Deren said
Wu Xiao nodded and said, "What does General Sun think?"
Sun Deren said: "I think it is best for the general to return to Beijing this time with a troop and station it in the left and left, thinking that it will be a countermeasure, and if there is a change, there will be strong reinforcements." ”
"It's not appropriate," Li Mao stood up
"The army in the belt is coercing, and it is inappropriate to do bad things," Li Mao said urgently
Other staff officers also echoed Li Mao's words, all saying that they could not lead troops, hearing this, a rough commander stood up and said: "You literati, you are really instigating, according to me, the marshal took it with 50,000 horses, thirty miles away from Beijing and stationed in Za, which emperor Lao'er must appoint, and if he is not appointed, he must be appointed, otherwise the marshal will return to Mobei, and we will support the marshal as the king, and be happy here, why go to the Central Plains to which troubled waters, do you say?"
Saying this, a group of generals immediately got up and agreed, and the voices of Li Mao and other civil officials were completely drowned in the voices of these big men.
"Ba Xiong can't make mistakes," Wu Xiao said slowly
Hearing this, the rough ruler hurriedly said: "Yes", and then reluctantly returned to his seat and sat down honestly.
"What do you mean, sir?" Wu Xiao asked Li Mao
"I mean, the marshal only brings his entourage of soldiers and horses, returns to Beijing with more gold and silver, and has some benefits with the court's close ministers, and I will contact a few more Jiedu envoys, and go to the fold together inside and outside, and I can't be another person if I want to come to the emperor" Li Mao said
"There is another thing, if the emperor gives marriage, the handsome must not refuse," Li Maofu said again
The generals laughed when they heard it, and some people said: "Earn a little lady for nothing, how can a handsome person have a reason to excuse herself"
Wu Xiao didn't speak, Zhao Hu looked at Wu Xiao and said, "I'm just afraid that this is the difficult thing", the generals were puzzled and looked at their young commander together.
Wu Xiao looked at the crowd and did not continue the topic, he looked around at a crowd and said loudly: "The generals will listen to the order"
Everyone immediately got up and stood at the foot of the hall, waiting for Wu Xiao's orders.
"The black cavalry camp entered the Hongshan camp fifty miles west of Yanmen Pass"
"The whole army of the Yongcai Battalion marched northward and stationed twenty miles north of Fengzhou to strictly prevent the Turkic attack"
"The four battalions of infantry of the left guard, the front guard, the right guard, and the front battalion are stationed in the four cities around Toyosu, and they must not leave without my order."
"Other systems must not slack off in their own training"
All the generals claimed that they were, and they each received their orders, Wu Xiao waved his hand, and the generals were inexplicable for a while, thinking that the matter had not yet been discussed, but they received a bunch of military orders, but they didn't dare to ask more, so they only went to the council room.
After the generals left, Wu Xiao turned to Li Mao and said, "Sir, let's go with me."
"The lower officials are willing to be sent," Li Mao stood up and said
Wu Xiao looked at Zhaohu again and said, "This time you have to stay and sit in Mobei"
"Big brother, I'm afraid I won't succeed, I'll still follow you!" Zhao Hu beat a drum in his heart
Wu Xiao patted him on the shoulder, stopped for a while, and said, "There is no one else"
Zhaohu also heard what Wu Xiao meant, he straightened his chest and said: "I must guard for my eldest brother, if there is a letter from the flying pigeon, the Mobei army will arrive as soon as possible."
Wu Xiao looked at him, and said after a long time: "If there is something, I will transfer the black cavalry camp, I don't need your help, your task is to guard Mobei"
Zhaohu nodded and said: "Zhaohu is here, Mobei is here"
The next day, Wu Xiao only brought two hundred guards, Yan Nu and Li Mao, as well as the accompanying supplies in a carriage, and set off from Changzhou City to Chang'an.
Half a month later, when Wu Xiao's horse team arrived at the north gate of Chang'an City, the people welcomed them in the middle of the road, and there were attendants from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War to greet them at the city gate.
Wu Xiao led the way to the palace gate, dismounted and walked into the palace to face the saint, because Wu Xiao did not have a mansion in Chang'an, and the rest of the personnel were led by Li Mao to rest in the post house temporarily arranged by the Ministry of War, while Yan Nu went back to Shoushan Hall first.
At this time, the early dynasty had already fallen, and the emperor and several heavyweight ministers of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council met with Wu Xiao in the Asking Political Palace.
After some red tape, Wu Xiao made a detailed report on the situation in Mobei, and also expressed his future plans and prospects, and finally hoped for the support and needs of the court.
The emperor was very happy and high-spirited, and asked about the details of the battle that day, and Wu Xiao made another statement. Speaking of the excitement, the emperor stood up and said loudly: "Aiqing raised the prestige of our country, and the martial arts were superior, and I was able to raise my eyebrows in front of the Turks this time, and I was very happy."
Wu Xiao got up and knelt down and said: "I am very grateful for the grace of Your Majesty's knowledge, this time there is such a big victory, it is completely Your Majesty's strength to override public opinion, and trust the minister, so that the minister has the opportunity to make contributions, this is Your Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, and the minister is blessed by His Majesty, fortunately not disgraced."
He paused and continued: "Now that the mission has been achieved, the talisman of the Mobei Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Anbei Patrol will be handed over to seal the letter, waiting for Your Majesty's sent."
The emperor hurriedly helped him up and said: "It's okay, Aiqing has worked hard this time, and I will discuss with several Qing families, and there will be a reward and appointment, Aiqing has been away from home for a long time, I must be homesick, I can return home to recuperate first, and listen to the will"
Wu Xiao handed the two things back to the attendant on one side, and then went out to ask the political hall with several colleagues in the military department, everyone was overjoyed, Wu Xiao had to be busy coping, and when he got out of the palace gate, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and the night was coming.
Wu Xiao couldn't suppress the endless thoughts in his heart anymore, turned over his horse, and galloped towards the Shoushan Hall in the south city.
Yan Nu heard the sound of horses' hooves and went out to see, Wu Xiao just ran to the front of Shoushan Hall and jumped off the horse.
"Where's Sister?" Wu Xiao asked
Yan Nu pointed upstairs with her finger, Wu Xiao's left foot was immediately on the steps, stood on horseback, jumped up, and grabbed the railing on the second floor with his hand, he used a slight force and turned up.
Yan Nu looked at him inexplicably and went upstairs in this way, tilted her head and thought about it, and after Wu Xiao entered the house, she also went up to the second floor in the way of Wu Xiao, but she didn't make a sound at all.
When Wu Xiao walked into the room, Hongyu was bending over and didn't know what to find in the cabinet, Wu Xiao quietly stepped forward and hugged her from behind, Hongyu was startled, screamed and turned around to see that it was Wu Xiao, and then smiled and said: "Why did it take you so long to come back"
Wu Xiao looked at her, so focused, as if there was some amazing secret on her face, and after a long time, he was heavily imprinted on her lips.
He was so greedy and hard, and the red fish responded eagerly, she was completely paralyzed, at the mercy of Wu Xiao, her Xiaoxiao was back, she thought, feeling a little unreal, but the familiar breath was really rolling in her arms.
It wasn't until she saw Wu Xiao that she knew how torturous the waiting was during this time, she caressed his back, slowly moved to the back of Wu Xiao's head, pressed his face on her firm chest, and let out a cry of joy and joy, and two lines of tears flowed down unconsciously.
Wu Xiao picked him up horizontally, gently put him on the bed, and impatiently withdrew her clothes, Hongyu only felt a ball of heat, like a deer broke into her and her body, she was immediately filled with a ball of satisfaction, and moaned.
After a big battle, the two of them were sweating and exhausted, Hongyu opened her eyes and stroked the hair on her forehead behind her ears, and suddenly, she screamed in shock, pulled the sheet over herself, and curled up with her hands over her face.
