Yang Song was also surprised to learn that Huo Qubing led the cavalry brigade to cross several forces from outside Shanhaiguan to return to Xia Kingdom.

But after being surprised, he was full of excitement and pride. Huo Qubing is worthy of being a famous general of Fenglangjuxu. In this world, there is no northern barbarian who needs to be conquered, but Huo Qubing still accomplished such a feat!

If you don’t make a sound, you will make a splash. This incident is another great achievement that will definitely record history and be passed down through the ages.

Even if the Xia Kingdom had wars abroad in the future, the other generals did the same thing, and there would not be the dazzling glory that Huo Qubing now has.

"Send the order, let Huo Qubing lead the cavalry brigade back to Tianqi City." Yang Song was stunned for a moment, came to his senses, looked at the information in his hand, smiled slightly at Chen Ping who came to report the message in person, and ordered: "Come back and accept their due honor."

"Yes, lord, I will go now." Chen Ping was also very happy and bowed to Yang Song. He also wanted to meet this young and promising general.

"Slowly, when will Li Jing and Liu Ji and others be able to return all?" Yang Song called out Chen Ping, who was about to leave, and asked about the itinerary of the other troops going to the expedition.

Chen Ping turned around and replied to Yang Song: "Because there are many soldiers on the expedition and the domestic shipping is limited, it is expected that all of them will be returned in two months."

Just like when we went on the expedition, it took three months to transport 24,900 soldiers and 30,000 militias to the Kingdom of Baxter.

But in the eyes of the enemy, these militias were also Xia army. The entire 50,000 troops came to the Baxter State, putting huge pressure on Aubrey.

"If you continue to command, you must let all the soldiers who went to the war return to the country before October." It is now the last few days of June. Yang Song thought of his subsequent plans and ordered Chen Ping to pass the order.

Chen Ping calculated the time and took the order and said, "Yes, Master. The time is still abundant now. By mid-September, all the soldiers will definitely be able to return to China."

"That's good, that plan is time. You can ask Xun Yu and the others to prepare in advance." Yang Song gave Chen Ping again, then waved his hand to let him go and do things.

------------

On the ninth day of the ninth month of the 12th year of the Apocalypse, the last group of militias who set out to the expedition arrived in Navy Town by boat, which means that the nine-month expedition came to an end.

Li Jing and Liu Ji personally welcomed the last group of militias to the shore in Navy Town, watching the last person get off the ship and get ashore.

"It's finally over." Li Jing stood in the port and looked at the many ships docked in the port, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He finally completed the task assigned to him by Yang Song. The rest only needs to make a summary report to Yang Song again to submit the matter thoroughly.

Liu Ji also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, it's over."

"The next thing is to reward you according to your merits. I'll congratulate General Li in advance for winning military merits!" Liu Ji said, then clasped his fists at Li Jing.

"The military advisor was joking." Li Jing clasped his fists and bowed, shook his head and said, "Li has nothing to congratulate, it's just asking for nothing. If you want to talk about military merits, General Huo is the most conspicuous one this time."

Liu Ji smiled and said, "General Li is too humble. Although General Huo has made brilliant achievements, the so-called warriors have no great achievements. Therefore, in the battle of good people, there is no strange victory, no wisdom and reputation, and no courage. Isn't this the saying that General Li, you?"

Huo Qubing was very active on the battlefield, which made people at home and abroad know that the Xia State had a cavalry with extraordinary combat power.

But without Li Jing's unified command and Li Jing's consent, how could Huo Qubing be active?

Under Yang Song's order, Liu Ji followed the army to fight as a military supervisor and chief of staff. However, after participating in this war throughout the whole process, how could he not know what Li Jing did?

...

"See you!" In the afternoon of the same day, Li Jing and Liu Ji rushed to Tianqi City and reported to Yang Song that the army had all returned to China.

After listening to the report of the two, Yang Song stood up and raised his hand to them and signaled: "Pharmacist, Bowen, thank you for your hard work this time."

"This is the duty of the minister!" The two of them saw Yang Song's polite and polite wise men, and hurriedly bowed and said that they should.

"Yeah." Yang Song nodded, sat down, and then said: "This time he went to the expedition to bring back 150,000 young and strong laborers to his country, plus the remaining 50,000, and 200,000 young and strong laborers can start construction of the Tianshan Railway."

The Tianshan Railway, a railway from Tianqi City to Shanhaiguan, is 700 kilometers long. This time, it was to obtain cheap labor for this railway.

"When you come to the emperor, the manpower of the Tianshan Railway is enough, but as far as I know, the country's steel output is far more than support." Liu Ji bowed to Yang Song and told that there are still problems in the construction of the railway.

By the end of the 11th year of the Apocalypse, the steel production in Xia Kingdom had reached 110,000 tons, about one-tenth of the million tons.

"Gu knew that, so Gu decided to use the 200,000 labor force to mine iron ore and increase steel output. The remaining 100,000 labor force will first build a railway from Tianqi Town to Tianqi Pass."

Yang Song did not do nothing during the period when the army went to fight. After discussion with Xun Yu and others, he made many decisions and plans.

Yang Song asked Li Jing: "In addition, are the pharmacists surprised that the army was not prepared for the triumphal ceremony after returning to China?" Yang Song decided to tell the two of them what he next plans were.

When Li Jing heard this, he immediately folded his fists and lowered his head and replied: "I dare not, it is up to the lord to rule it!"

Liu Ji also immediately bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, are there any changes in the country?"

"Haha, don't worry." Yang Song waved to the two again to show that nothing happened, saying: "There is no change in the country, and it is not that I am alone in knowing the victory of this expedition, but the changes that will happen in the country in the future."

"I dare to ask you, what is the change?" Liu Ji was very curious about Yang Song's words. What was the change? It was more important than the victorious army. Although Li Jing on the side didn't say anything, the lifting ear did not mean that he really didn't care.

Yang Song smiled mysteriously and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that my country is going to upgrade again!"

"Upgrade?" Liu Ji and Li Jing heard this word and looked at each other, a little confused.

When Yang Song saw the two of them's unusually puzzled appearance, he suddenly felt interesting and couldn't help laughing. They both laughed so hard that they looked down at their own clothes. Is there anything strange that could make their lord laugh so much?

When Yang Song saw these two people, he laughed even harder, but he didn't laugh for long. After all, he could only laugh secretly for such a thing.

He restrained his smile and said seriously: "I decided to be king next month!"
