Qi, Jinyong City.

It's snowy outside the city, but the official road is relatively clean.

The woods outside the city were also completely destroyed by the enemy, leaving only tree stumps one after another, making the outside of the city extremely desolate.

The soldiers stood on the city wall and looked into the distance.

At this moment, the generals led many knights and stood on the official road, waiting for the victorious army coming from afar.

If any Zhou people came here and saw these people standing on the official road, they would probably be scared to death.

Duan Shao stood at the front, with Lou Rui and Hu Luguang on one side, Gao Yanzong, Dugu Yongye, and Hu Luxian on the other side. The other knights were basically generals, but their status was not as good as the previous few.

.

They are all standing here now to welcome Liu Taozi who has come from afar.

After Liu Taozi crossed the river from Danzhou, he did not return directly to the frontier fortress, but instead circled back to Jinyong City.

Of course, he also wanted to meet these people and discuss some important matters.

Duan Shao stood in the wind, still as polite, elegant and easy-going, with the same smile on his face.

Hu Luguang really hates the smile on this guy’s face, it’s hypocritical!!

Duan Shao and Hu Luguang are technically the same generation, but Duan Shao is much older than him, and he participated in the war earlier, and his military ability is indeed a little bit ahead. As a result, Hu Luguang is always outclassed by him, and both of them

People's styles are also almost opposite. Duan Shao likes to be steady, while Hu Luguang likes to be adventurous.

Hu Luguang didn't like him very much anyway.

Duan Shao stopped playing with these little guys and stood alone at the front, gently stroking his beard. Although everyone was nominally the second generation, he was the second generation who was parallel to the first generation, that is, Lou

Rui, although everyone is related and has participated in the war since childhood, in terms of merit, Lou Rui has to stand aside.

Lou Rui was excitedly telling Hu Luguang about the results of this battle.

"Hahaha, I didn't even expect that Yang Tu would surrender. I heard that many people suffered losses at his hands in the past."

Lou Rui was very proud.

Hu Luguang said: "This is because he is arrogant. He thought that you did not dare to send troops to attack, so he set up his camp on a flat place. He did not divide his troops to occupy the mountain passes on the left and right. He only sent some scouts to watch. That's why

rout."

"As for surrender, I think this battle probably took all the energy out of him."

Lou Rui also agreed with Hu Luguang's idea, "Anyway, I have already sent him to Yecheng. I didn't expect such a big credit to fall into my hands!"

"However, Mingyue's contribution is not small. He shot and killed Wang Xiong, Duke of Yong Kingdom. Tsk, Wang Xiong was much more powerful than Yang Xun. He was tied with Yang Zhong and others. He died in your hands like this. It is a great contribution.

"

Hu Luguang replied: "It was just a fluke. He was indeed brave. He attacked fiercely from the flank. I was almost defeated. I could only lead my troops to escape in a roundabout way. He was chasing after me, so I shot him."

"That's why Yue Yue has made a great contribution this time."

Lou Rui touched his chin and looked at Guandao again, "However, in terms of merit, your son-in-law is the most powerful. None of us combined can compare."

"Capture three states in a row, kill two generals, and don't forget to severely injure Yu Wenhu before coming back. It's awesome, it's awesome."

Lou Rui shook his head and sighed repeatedly.

He looked at Hu Luguang with some envy, "It's a pity that I don't have a daughter."

The corner of Hu Luguang's mouth raised, but soon returned to his solemn look, "He was just lucky. Yang Zhong had few soldiers. He surrounded him with nearly ten times the force and made great sacrifices. However, Hou Longen was misunderstood by the villain and could not use it.

As for Guanzhong, the troops are empty and there is no general, and Yu Wenhu is completely ignorant of soldiers."

"That's nothing to praise."

Lou Rui laughed loudly, "If you don't like Mingyue so much, you can give it to me. Although I don't have a daughter, I still have a niece."

Hu Luguang stopped talking.

On the other side, Gao Yanzong was bragging about his achievements to everyone.

In the past, everyone would have told this little brat to go away, but now, they pricked up their ears and listened.

Because Gao Yanzong has proven his ability, if nothing else, this guy can really fight!

How come these two sons of Emperor Wenxiang are so good at fighting?

First it was Gao Changgong, and then Gao Yanzong.

It really shouldn’t be underestimated.

While everyone was talking, a cavalry appeared in the distance.

It is difficult to describe the state of this cavalry.

They formed the simplest long snake formation and marched normally, but the order and momentum could not be concealed at all.

The knights were fully armed, as if even the hooves of their war horses were waving in an orderly manner. They all leaned forward slightly, looking murderously, looking left and right. The sides of their horses were covered with human heads.

Duan Shao's eyes lit up and he stared at these cavalrymen.

The other generals were also staring at them fiercely at this moment.

Lou Rui said with some surprise: "No wonder he can do so many things, he is really a strong soldier."

After discovering the people in front, they quickly changed their formations and separated a road. Liu Taozi and Gao Changgong walked out of the knights one after another. The knights changed their formations again and the road was closed.

Duan Shao took the lead in dismounting and walked on foot in the direction of Liu Taozi and others. Seeing Duan Shao dismounting, the others did not dare to continue riding, so they jumped off one after another and walked in the direction of Liu Taozi.

Of course Liu Taozi also wants to dismount.

The two sides meet.

"Meet Da Sima."

Liu Taozi bowed to see Duan Shao, but Duan Shao just stared at the knights on the side and said, "Don't let these cavalry disperse."

Liu Taozi was stunned, and Duan Shao hurriedly said: "With such a strong army, it is best to allow them to continue to maintain their current scale. You can recruit some strong soldiers to join, but don't disperse them into different armies, otherwise it will be a shame.

It is extremely difficult to train such a strong army, but it can be used as an important force in the future. If used properly, it can play an extremely crucial role."

"I see."

After Duan Shao said this, he remembered to return the gift and hurriedly helped Liu Taozi up.

Lou Rui laughed and walked forward, "What a boy, what a boy!"

"King!"

"Hahaha, why are you so polite to me?"

Lou Rui looked Liu Taozi up and down with some disbelief in his eyes, "I heard they said that you killed Yang Zhong and Hou Longen and went to Chang'an. I couldn't believe it. Later, they said that you ambushed Yu Wenhu's army and used

Most of his elite troops were lost and you couldn't even understand the map at first. Hey, this is a natural-born general!"

"I heard someone say that the king used a small number to attack a large number and captured Yang Fu alive. I was particularly surprised."

"Hahaha."

Hu Luguang cleared his throat at this time and raised his head.

Liu Taozi then looked at him and said, "Meet the Governor."

"Um???"

"Greetings, sir."

"Um."

Gao Yanzong hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Brother!!"

"I have made a great contribution this time!!"

"I defeated Yu Wenxian!!"

"I lead the troops"

As soon as Gao Yanzong opened his mouth, he couldn't stop and began to imitate Lu Gong. Several other generals also hurried forward.

Gao Changgong stood alone in the distance, took off his mask, and watched his brother and a group of relatives chatting animatedly with Liu Taozi. In the end, he just showed a wry smile.

Dugu Yongye was also standing next to Liu Taozi at this moment. His head was no longer raised as high as usual, with a smile, and his eyes were a little unnatural, "Your Majesty, if there was anything that offended you in the past, what should I do?

I hope the king will not blame you.”

Those nobles who were very opposed to Liu Taozi in the past are now completely honest.

Dugu Yongye led the army to defend Jinyong City and refused to retreat in the face of an army of 200,000. He thought he was already very powerful, but when he turned around, he saw that everyone had gone to Chang'an.

The nobles immediately understood their position. This group of old Xianbei has always been like this, only giving in to the strongest person.

Not only Dugu Yongye, but also Duan Shao's Jinyang soldiers and Jinyang generals no longer regarded Liu Taozi as a serious enemy at this moment, and they all admired him very much.

If according to Lao Xianbei's alpha wolf system, Liu Taozi gave Duan Shao a try by name, I guess they wouldn't object.

Gao Changgong waited for a while before Lou Rui noticed him.

"Chang Gong!! When did you come?!"

"I just came."

"Oh, I was so focused on Taozi that I forgot about you. Come on, come on!"

Lou Rui pulled Gao Changgong and started chatting with a smile. Duan Shao was still staring at the knights at this moment, and even stepped forward to talk to them.

Lou Rui took Gao Changgong to meet with the others, and Gao Yanzong suddenly realized that his brother was still there!

Everyone entered the city together.

The soldiers in the city looked at these people, their eyes almost shining.

Everyone walked into the official office, Duan Shao sat at the top, and the others sat down again, and Liu Taozi's position became more forward this time. Lou Rui even smiled and asked him to sit in front of him. Liu Taozi changed his position.

According to the usual rules, he did not compete with Duan Shao for the upper position, but sat behind Lou Rui and Hu Luguang.

Dugu Yongye had already prepared drinks and delicious food.
