I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 210 The triumphal return of the pirate army

"It's been so long. Those remnants should have been chased by the general. The general should be back soon."

Su Dingfang said with a somewhat comforting tone.

After returning to Youzhou, Su Dingfang was still worried that King Wu Li Ke would keep questioning him. After all, Li Zheng asked him to stay as a shield to take the blame, but he never thought that Wu King Li Ke would become the biggest shield. The imperial edicts from Chang'an City were all aimed at him. .

"hope so."

Li Ke shook his head helplessly.

"The current emperor really values ​​the general!"

"The general put down the Xue Yantuo rebellion, killed three enemy chiefs, and captured countless slaves. Now the emperor urges the general to retreat, but it is a favor to the general!"

"The current emperor is truly the emperor of the ages!"

Su Dingfang said with emotion.

"My father has followed Emperor Gaozu since he was a child, fighting in the north and south. Naturally, he knows the dangers on the battlefield. He also knows the most about Li Zheng's life and death."

"My father is well aware of the sufferings of the people, so he is naturally much better than those emperors who are obsessed with life and money."

Li Ke also smiled proudly.

But in his heart, Li Ke also added: "Others who dare to pursue cross-border pursuits like this will inevitably be punished by the father, although they have meritorious service. But Li Zheng is different, he is the prince!"

At this time.

Border town in the north.

A group of more than ten cavalry scouts could be seen patrolling and approaching the border town.

"Another group of scouts are back.

At first glance, his expression was very dull, because he understood that these returning scouts would not bring any news.

Because I have experienced too much.

Seeing these scouts getting closer and closer, Li Ke waved his hand and the city gate opened.

But after these scouts approached the border town.

The leader shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, King Wu, has discovered the traces of General Li Zheng. Now General Li is only ten miles away from our border city, and he also escorted many slaves with him. In two hours at most, General Li will be there." Return to Youzhou."

Upon hearing this.

Li Ke's expression changed slightly, even a little unbelievable.

The same goes for Su Dingfang and Ding Yu, who seemed to have heard extremely shocking news.

"Are you serious?"

"Li Zheng is back?"

Li Ke asked loudly immediately, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Return to your highness."

"I dare not say anything false."

"My subordinates found traces of the bandits twenty miles away from the border town."

The leader of the scouts reported loudly.

"Okay, great."

"This guy is finally coming back."

"I finally don't have to worry about being scolded by my father."

"The six imperial edicts can finally be handed over to the rightful master."

Li Ke laughed loudly, very excited and happy.

But in the entire Youzhou, no one was happier than him.

Because he knew Li Zheng's identity clearly, Li Ke would worry about him every day he was on the battlefield, because even if Li Zheng was injured, he would be held accountable by his father. Such days of fear, Li Ke really suffered No more.

"Ding Yu."

Li Ke said loudly.

"The end will be here."

Ding Yu responded immediately.

"Tell the people in the city that Li Jinjun is coming back."

"For the people of our Youzhou Prefecture who fell into rebel control of the city, General Li is their great benefactor, and they have long been looking forward to General Li's triumphant return."

He said immediately.

"The last general takes orders."

Ding Yu bowed and went to do it immediately. "How do you think Li Zheng will repay me when he comes back?"

"I have been acting as his shield these past few months!"

Li Ke said to Su Dingfang with a smile.

"Your Highness King Wu, tell the truth."

"Originally, the general wanted me to stay as a shield, but I didn't expect that His Highness King Wu would be blocked."

Su Dingfang said with a look of gloating.

"He runs Lin's Vinegar Shop and Lin's Restaurant. This time, I have to ask him to prepare the best aged vinegar and the most beautiful wine for me."

"Otherwise, I will be used as a shield by him."

Li Ke smiled.

As time goes by.

Ding Yu told the people in the city that Li Zheng was about to return in triumph.

The entire border town was surging in an instant.

To the people of Youzhou Prefecture, and even to the entire Tang Empire, Li Zheng was a hero, their god of war and champion.

of course.

The focus is still on the millions of people who were originally controlled by the rebels. For them, Li Zheng is their reborn parent. Especially in the border towns that have been trapped for the longest time, one can imagine the suffering suffered by the people in the cities.

"General Li is back."

"Great."

"General Li helped us drive away thieves like Xue Yantuo, and helped us kill the enemy and take revenge..."

"General Li is the savior of my family. I must go to welcome the general in triumph and thank him in person."

"The general's kindness and kindness will never be repaid."

"Let's go, everyone go outside the city to welcome the general in triumph."

"Both go."

"..."

Nearly 100,000 people in the entire border city were mobilized, but this was not intentional immediately. He just told these people that Li Zheng was about to return in triumph.

As for the people in the city being so moved, it was all because of their spontaneous gratitude to Li Zheng.

Six cities with a territory of hundreds of miles, nearly a million people fell under the control of the rebels, and were massacred, killed, and humiliated.

The kind of suffering that the bandits killed was only superficial. Only the common people who were bullied by the aliens knew how cruel the miserable suffering was.

soon.

Thousands of people rushed out of the city, but they did not mess up. Instead, they followed the rules and lined up on both sides of the city gate. They were all spontaneous, and people were still pouring out. They also They are all the same, walking forward and spontaneously gathering on both sides of the road.

They all welcomed Li Zheng from the bottom of their hearts and were grateful to the hero who saved them from danger.

Wang Xinyu stood in the city, with a nervous look on her pretty face, but she could not hide her excitement.

Beside her, there were two maids accompanying her, and some guards with weapons.

"Miss."

"You finally waited."

"General Li Zheng is returning in triumph."

A maid said with a smile.

"I just don't know if he can still recognize me."

"Besides, he doesn't even know me."

"I was just a sloppy little beggar at that time. Could he have an impression of me?"

Wang Xinyu said softly, with a bit of expectation and anxiety in her eyes.

Remember that day.

He looked sloppy and looked like a beggar, but Li Zheng gave her food and money without any delay, without any disgust in his eyes.

Seventeen years old.

Wang Xinyu had never had her heart touched by a man like this.

For him, it was love at first sight.

Seeing the scars on Li Zheng's body, showing that he fought to protect his family and country, and his approachable manner towards the common people, Wang Xinyu clearly felt what a real man is.
