Chapter 268 Post-war Disposal(1/2)
After an expedition of hundreds of miles, the Wei army achieved perfect victory.
Escorting the captives such as Prince Yiqu and his son, the leader of the Wushi Kingdom, and others captured in this battle, Sun Boling, the leader of the Wei army, issued the order for a triumphant return.
Under the red Wei flag fluttering high in the wind, there is a Wei army soldier marching forward with his head held high.
At this moment, the mood of these Wei soldiers was completely different from when they arrived.
If we say that Wei's 100,000-strong army came with the intention of a decisive battle and were ambitious to break through Wushi's city wall and capture the enemy chief alive;
So at this moment, these soldiers are more filled with pride after a great victory. They can already see the generous rewards in front of them.
Driven by this kind of pride, Wei's 100,000-strong army marched eastward and soon returned to Yuzhi City along the way they came.
In the carriage, Yiqu Wang Yiquhan had his eyes closed and had not spoken for a long time. Silence seemed to have become the main theme in his heart.
The Prince of Yiqu, Yiqucang, turned his worried eyes away from his father and gently stretched out his right hand to open the side curtain of the carriage.
When his eyes followed the bright light and looked out, when an extremely familiar city appeared in his field of vision, Yi Qucang's originally worried face immediately showed a bit of excitement.
"Father, father, father..."
Yi Qucang's voice awakened Yi Quhan, and listening to the surprise in the words, he slowly moved his eyes over.
Yi Qucang looked at Yi Quhan and pointed to the outside of the car with his finger: "Father, look, this is Yuzhi City, my Yiqu's Yuzhi City."
The words Yu Zhicheng poured into his ears, and Yi Quhan, whose face was calm at this moment, immediately leaned over.
When that familiar figure appeared in front of me, when all the recalled memories emerged in my mind, a smile appeared on the face that was originally like a walking zombie.
This is Yuzhi City, which belongs to Yiquhan, and this is his Yiqu Royal Court.
Yi Quhan's right hand subconsciously grasped Yi Qucang's hand beside him. He didn't know where the strength came from, "Cang'er, I want to go down and have a look."
"good."
"Drive, drive, drive..."
After a moment, a fast horse galloped out of the queue and came to the chariot Sun Boling was riding.
The messenger saluted Sun Boling on his horse and said, "General, Prince Yiqu and his son have a request. He wants to get off the bus and see Yuzhi City again."
When Sun Boling heard the request conveyed by the messenger, he immediately looked at Zhai Liang standing aside.
"What does General Zhai Liang think of this request from Prince Yiqu and his son?"
"I am reporting this to you, the general. I think that although we, the Wei State, are rivals in Yiqu, we have now returned with a great victory."
"As the victors of this battle, we cannot be proud, but we still need to show our broadmindedness in some things."
Turning his head to look behind him, Zhai Liang looked at the mighty marching team, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
"General Zhai Liang's idea coincides with mine. In this case, as the victors, we really shouldn't refuse this request, which is not too much."
After saying that, when he looked up at the sky, the color of sunset in the distance appeared in front of Sun Boling's eyes.
"It's getting late now, and it's time for our army to stop advancing."
After saying something that seemed to be muttering to himself, Sun Boling immediately looked serious and said, "Send an order to the entire army to stop advancing..."
"We will rest in Yuzhi City tonight and leave early tomorrow morning."
"Follow orders."
Sun Boling gave an order and several fast horses galloped out immediately. He and Zhai Liang next to him looked at each other, and a smile appeared in their eyes at the same time.
There was no words for the whole night, and time flew by quickly.
This night can be said to be very peaceful, both for the Wei State and for the soldiers on the Yiqu side.
After experiencing successive battles and traveling for hundreds of miles, although there was a lot of rest and recuperation, the officers and soldiers of the Wei army were undoubtedly very exhausted physically and mentally.
The good rest in Yuzhi City allowed the Wei soldiers who were about to return to their home country to recuperate and embark on their victorious return journey.
For the Yiqu soldiers, they had to choose to flee hundreds of miles to Wushi due to their previous defeat at the hands of the Wei army.
Now that they have returned to the land of Yiqu and slept in Yuzhi City, where the Royal Court of Yiqu was once located, they feel as comfortable as returning to their mother's arms.
It's a pity that all the good things seem to be short-lived. After a night, the team had to embark on the road again.
In the early morning, standing beside the city wall of Yuzhi City, Yi Quhan slowly stretched out his right hand.
Feeling the touch from his palm very clearly, Yi Quhan felt that his eyes suddenly became moist.
Gradually, a tear came out of Yi Quhan's eyes. The once all-powerful King Yiqu was now shedding tears of reluctance.
What he saw before him was Yuzhi City, where he had lived for decades, and he didn't know if he would be lucky enough to return here in this lifetime.
While Yi Quhan was holding on to the city wall, feeling uncomfortable in his heart, a set of footsteps came behind him.
"Father, it's time for us to go."
"Wait a minute."
After saying this, Yi Quhan slowly turned around and walked towards the Wei army general Sun Boling who was standing not far behind him.
"General Sun, I know that I am a failure. The general is tolerant of allowing me to stay in Yuzhi City for one night."
"I'm not qualified to put forward any conditions. I just leave this time and don't know if I will be lucky enough to return. I also ask General Sun to allow me to take a handful of loess from the edge of Yuzhi City."
Listening to the voice ringing in his ears and looking at the humble middle-aged man in front of him, Sun Boling nodded slowly.
"King Yiqu, please help yourself."
After receiving Sun Boling's request, King Yiqu walked back to Yu Zhi's city wall.
"Stab"
With a harsh cracking sound, a piece of linen was torn off by Yi Quhan, but Yi Qucang, who had been following him, hurried forward at this moment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After the two father and son were busy at the city wall for a while, there was already a pile of loess on top of the linen cloth.
Holding the linen cloth up with great treasure, looking at the loess on it as if it were a treasure, Yi Quhan walked towards his carriage with great solemnity.
After a few breaths, he saw Prince Yiqu and his son boarding his chariot, and Sun Boling also walked towards his chariot.
"Send the general's order to advance the entire army!"
At this moment, a gust of breeze came from afar, blowing all the flags in the team, blowing over the face of a famous Wei soldier, and also blowing up a wisp of loess beside the Yuzhi City Wall.
…
The capital of Wei State was Anyi.
In the main hall, a number of Wei courtiers sat opposite each other, with faint smiles on each of their faces.
Three days ago, the victorious army led by Sun Boling returned to Anyi. Wei Marquis Wei Feng personally led hundreds of officials from the court ten miles out of the city to greet the victorious soldiers.
What is the main theme of today's court meeting can be guessed from the expressions on the faces of these Wei court officials.
Just as the courtiers were chatting with each other with smiles, a loud trumpet sounded from outside the palace.
"Marquis Wei has arrived..."
Under the gaze of all the courtiers, Wei Feng, dressed in a gorgeous princely robe, stepped into the hall.
Perhaps it's because people are in high spirits during happy events, but Wei Feng's steps seemed so brisk today, and his speed was much faster than usual.
When Wei Feng's figure climbed up the steps in front of the hall, with Prime Minister Gongsun Qi still leading the way, the courtiers all stood up and bowed to the front.
"I will pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."
"Everyone is safe."
After a few breaths, he watched the courtiers return to their seats, but Wei Feng did not return to his throne as usual.
There was a smile on his face, and Wei Feng said to everyone: "I am in a very happy mood today. As for the reason, you must also know the reason. Yes, this is that Wei Jun has obtained the Duiyi Canal.
The victory of the battle.”
"In just a few months, we, the State of Wei, overthrew Yiqu. All this was due to the bloody battles of the frontline soldiers, the cooperation of the ministers, and the concerted efforts of the entire Wei State."
After Wei Feng's impassioned words fell, the ministers below stood up from their seats again.
"I would like to congratulate you, Your Majesty, and I would like to congratulate the State of Wei!"
"I would like to congratulate you, Your Majesty, and I would like to congratulate the State of Wei!"
"I would like to congratulate you, Your Majesty, and I would like to congratulate the State of Wei!"
…
The sound of congratulations continued in the hall for a long time. When the sound gradually subsided, Wei Feng and all the court officials returned to their seats.
He sat down on the throne, with the majesty of a superior appearing in his sight, and heard Wei Feng issue the first order of the day in a deep voice.
"Xuanyi Quhan and his son went to the palace..."
Upon hearing Wei Feng's order, an eunuch standing beside him immediately walked quickly to the palace gate.
"Your Majesty has an order, Xuanyi Quhan and his son go to the palace..."
Through the mouths of this eunuch and Lang Wei standing outside the palace, Wei Feng's order was quickly passed on, and soon two figures wearing dark clothes appeared in front of everyone.
"Yi Quhan (Yi Qucang), pays homage to the Marquis of Wei."
