There is no sound of chasing soldiers anymore, let's take a rest. Even if people don't rest, the horse can't stand it! ' shouted a breathless voice behind them.
The group of them escaped with great difficulty, and they were already exhausted and half dead. It should be safe now, and it won't delay things if you stop and rest.
Seeing that Chachaqi still didn't intend to stop, he shouted again: "General, my lord's body and bones may not be able to withstand such torture!"
As soon as these words came out, it really had an effect, and the horse in front finally slowed down. The man was overjoyed, and stepped forward to listen to his orders, "General?"
Chachaqi looked around and ordered: "Find a safe place to rest for a while."
Everyone led the order and found the place not long after. Chachaqi checked Tuoba Ren in his arms, and then carefully carried him off the horse.
He was the one who had been protecting Tuoba Ren before, and there was a voice in his heart that Tuoba Ren could not die. Tuoba Ren was greatly stimulated and fainted from the horse and fell off the horse. It was Chachaqi who rescued him and led him out of the tight encirclement.
Someone had already fetched water, Chachaqi took it, and carefully fed Tuoba Ren a few mouthfuls. Tuoba Ren just woke up faintly at this time, and when he opened his eyes and saw this scene, he already understood a little bit in his heart. He coughed violently for a long time before asking hoarsely, "Where are our people?"
Chachaqi looked around at the hundreds of remnants and defeated generals behind him, lowered his eyes, "It's all here."
"Pfft!" Tuoba Ren spat out a mouthful of hot blood.
"My lord!" Chachaqi was impatient, and wiped the blood from his lips at a loss, "My lord said that if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. You must take care of yourself!"
"Cough cough cough..."
"Wang Ting is still there, and Suixi Kingdom is still waiting for the prince to go back to preside over it. You must not be in trouble."
Tuoba Ren shook his head, his heart was full of sadness, it was God's will! He thought he was foolproof in his calculation, but was easily deciphered by others, and he used his schemes to break the royal court. The eldest brother Tuobahong is still alive and dead, and the royal court is torn apart. How can he go back
"My lord, our ancestors have a saying that even if the Achnatherum splendens in the grassland is crushed and broken, as long as the roots are still there, it can survive the ice and snow and grow more lush the next year. You really have the heart to keep the royal court in turmoil. Torn apart?" Chachaqi tried his best to persuade.
Tuoba Ren looked at his hands helplessly, "I am no longer the King Hunle."
"No, you are, you were in the past, you are now, and you will be in the future." Chachaqi said firmly. He used to think so too, but the longer we get along, the more he gets to know him. Tuoba Ren's ambition, responsibility, and commitment made him deeply attracted and unable to extricate himself.
Looking into Chachaqi's eyes, Tuoba Ren slowly closed his eyes, he was wrong, outrageously wrong. Once he thought that as long as he controlled Chachaqi, he would have everything, but now he regretted it.
"I'm not a good person. You should know that everything I did was just to use you to seize the military power on the right." Tuoba Ren slowly spit out cold words from his mouth.
Chachaqi was taken aback, feeling bitter in his heart, "I know." It's just that I am willing to be used by you.
Tuoba Ren looked him up and down, as if seeing him clearly for the first time. The astonishment on Tuoba Ren's face made Chachaqi a little ashamed and angry. He was also the son of a great general. He was proud and self-willed since he was a child, so he had to keep his decency.
"We'll go all the way south and then turn back to the west. In short, I won't leave you behind, and you don't have to say any more depressing words." Chachaqi said fiercely.
"Hehe!" Tuoba Ren smiled lowly, with a few coughs in the middle, nodded and said: "Okay!"
Chachaqi was overwhelmed with surprise, as if he couldn't believe it, it took him a long time to recover, rubbed his head and grinned.
The capital is still bustling and bustling.
In the midst of the commotion, a horse rode up from the dust, and the messenger on the horse held up the battle report in his hand and shouted again and again: "Good news! Good news! The barbarians are defeated! King Duan led people to break through the royal court!"
He flew all the way into the imperial city, but the words in his mouth made people stop and listen. Some people even asked others in disbelief, "Hey! Did you hear what was said? What was the defeat of the king's court? Isn't that something that happened in the west?"
Others were also shocked, "I'm afraid I heard it wrong? Breaking through the royal court, hey! What a dream come true."
"But that's what I seem to hear."
"Wrong! Absolutely wrong!"
The news spread quickly, and everyone didn't believe it. They heard that the barbarians from the west were coming again, and they didn't know if it was because the Yan army was defeated again. But how can it be announced with great fanfare if it is defeated? And that person clearly said the victory report, could it be that the messenger reported the battle report wrongly? This is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and it will cost you your head! How could such a mistake be made
While the common people were muttering in their hearts, they were also looking forward to it, hoping to learn the real news.
Not long after the messenger entered the imperial city, the little yellows in the palace left the palace and scattered in all directions. Immediately afterwards, the courtiers who had already gone to court changed into official uniforms and hurried into the palace.
Oh! The messenger who came to report just now must have had a major event. Could it be that the barbarians broke through Shi Chong Pass? After that, soldiers will come to the city. If Liangcheng can't resist, will the barbarians go straight in and attack the capital? Judging by the hurried expressions of the courtiers, it was clear that the matter was not simple, and they must have gone into the palace to discuss a solution. By the way, what did the messenger report just now
Just as the common people were speculating wildly in fear, news finally came out from the palace. Duan Wang Mingyu and General Xie led two troops deep into the hinterland of Suixi and directly broke through the Suixi royal court. However, the frontier army defeated the barbarians and captured countless barbarian soldiers.
The people in the capital who heard the exact news cheered completely. For decades, this was a big victory that had never been seen before. They were bullied so hard by the barbarians that their memories of defeating the barbarians were all in their memories. It's also like this, when General Xie turned out to save Liangcheng and the water and fire, he became famous in the first battle, and everyone admired him.
Now, the great victory that they dare not even dream of is in front of them, and it is an unprecedented victory. How could it not make the common people weep with joy.
An imperial decree hurried to the frontier, and made a plan with King Duan to return to Beijing to offer prisoners. All meritorious persons will be recorded in the book, and the imperial court will reward them one by one.
After everyone's longing and anticipation, this day finally ushered in. With the banners unfurled, the soldiers of the Dayan Army lined up in a square formation, lined up neatly, and walked in the same step. It gives people an unprecedented deterrence, and people can't help being in awe.
No wonder, it was such an army that defeated the barbarians, and only such an army could win so happily.
As the procession came along, the common people lined up to greet each other, and looked at the long procession excitedly pointing, "Look, the ones riding in front of the horse are the red-robed army, red-robed and silver-armored, you can recognize them at a glance. The one in charge is General Xie Yixiu."
"The back should be King Duan's guard battalion. I heard that it is now the guard army. I still remember the situation when King Duan left the capital, and now I can hardly recognize his appearance."
"Isn't it? Look at the imperial guards in the capital city. They can't be compared with them! They have worked hard with the prince and their future is limitless. I heard that the imperial guards in the capital city are very envious."
Thinking back to the time when the prince left Beijing, everyone was not optimistic about it. The west side was a poor place, and they were all waiting to see the jokes of Prince Duan. But in the past few years, all kinds of items from the Western Regions are worth a thousand gold, and the specialty watermelon in the West is snapped up by everyone. Now that Shichongguan in Liangzhou has won a great victory, countless barbarians have been captured.
I heard that the life of the people in Liangzhou is getting better and better. This is something that generations of people have dreamed of. King Duan has already achieved initial results in just a few years. Now the Xiqi Corridor is no longer a threat, and it only takes time to build. Merchants have already swarmed up there smelling the smell. The life of the people of Liangzhou is in the future, it can be said that the prospects are bright, and I am afraid that it will not be much worse than the prosperous towns in the south.
"Here we come! That's King Duan's car, and the one behind is Jingwei of the Royal Guards. This time, they all made great contributions with King Duan."
"Look at our Dayan soldiers, this is the real Haoerlang! Powerful and domineering!"
Behind them were the captured barbarians, who had already lost their former bravado. They looked like eggplants beaten by frost, with their heads drooping, and the surrounding people all clapped their hands and cheered.
At the end of the team was the neat garrison led by General Wei. Although he has tried his best to restrain himself, there is still a smug smile on his face. This kind of honor only happens once in this lifetime.
Naturally, the purpose of going to Beijing to present prisoners this time is to show people their best looks, so this batch of people who went to Beijing were selected from thousands of people, and they are all people who have made great contributions in this battle.
All the way into the capital in a mighty way, all the way to Desheng Gate, the emperor and all the civil and military officials had already been waiting there. It can be said that this is the biggest grand event since the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty. After this epidemic, the crisis of Suixi Kingdom will be lifted, and the Liangzhou frontier will gradually stabilize. Under Ming Yu's leadership, it will begin to develop rapidly according to his plan.
All the officials had festive smiles on their faces, and the emperor sitting under the canopy was even more in a good mood. His lofty aspirations and gloomy clouds, which he had never completed in his life, were easily completed by his son. How could the emperor not be proud and happy
"Your Majesty, I was afraid that when you sent King Duan to Liangzhou, you never thought it would be like this?" The Prime Minister standing beside him stroked his gray beard and said with a smile.
