Chapter 150 Shocking the World
Meishan Prefecture.

[Kung Fu: Zhenguo Dragon Spear. Transformation of Strength (Minor Success)]

【Progress: 855/2000】

On the city wall, Chen Sanshi put down his spear.

After the Linghe ointment was completely consumed, the speed of cultivation slowed down significantly.

Ten full days have passed since the execution of the rebel Liang Jinian.

"Chirp—"

Chen Sanshi finally received a reply from Haidongqing.

This time it flew back from the southeast, outside the wilderness, and it was a reply from the army in the capital!

Open the intelligence.

Chen Sanshi learned that the leader of the army was the Martial Saint Jiang Yuanbo, and they would reach Luotian Pass in ten days at most.

It’s just the right time to start from Meishan Prefecture.

As long as we can join up with the main army, we will win.

"Pass my general's order!"

"Move out—"

……

Jianmen Gorge.

The camp of the Western Qi army.

"Leave 10,000 troops behind in the canyon!"

"The rest of you evacuate silently!"

Zhong Wuxin commanded his soldiers in the darkness: "You must return to the northwest within 15 days!"

"Report!"

A soldier came back in a hurry on a fast horse and almost fell off his horse.

"how?"

Zhong Wuxin asked first: "Did Dong An's troops withdraw?"

"Master, something bad has happened!"

The soldiers panicked and said, "Dong...Dong An, he committed suicide!"

"Commit suicide? Are you kidding me?!"

Zhong Wuxin suspected that he was hallucinating because he had not rested for too long. He grabbed the other party and asked, "What's the reason?"

"I do not know!"

The soldiers replied: "The people of Mingzhou Army said that Dong An committed suicide not long after seeing the news of Liang Jinian's death, and he didn't say a word to them!"

"Fool, Dong An is such a fool!"

Even though Zhong Wuxin was a cunning man, he couldn't control his emotions after hearing this news. He cursed: "Once this bastard dies, my great cause of reviving the Great Qi will be ruined!"

After a little thought, he understood why Mr. Dong chose to commit suicide.

First, losing to a young man of 17 or 18 was too much of a blow.

Dong An was a well-known military fanatic. He had been studying military tactics since he was ten years old. Later, he encountered Fang Qingyun, which was the biggest demon in his life. So he made it his biggest goal to defeat Fang Qingyun in military tactics. This was also an important reason why he defected to the Western Qi Kingdom.

result……

Before Fang Qingyun even won, an even more terrifying Chen Sanshi appeared.

Moreover, the technique of crossing the Hongze River four times is probably a stroke of genius that even Fang Qingyun could not accomplish!
No, it should be said that everyone in the world!

No one can accomplish this battle!
If you review the situation on the map again, you will know how terrible it is. This is the real art of war, the real tactics. Chen Sanshi does not command his own people, he directly...

Command the enemy!

terrible!

Even now, Zhong Wuxin still has a deep sense of awe for the young man whom he has never met and only heard of his name. If this man is still alive, it is not impossible that he will surpass Lu Ji and Sun Xiangzong in the future!
If this battle had been made up by a storyteller.

Then this storyteller would definitely be scolded to death, and people would throw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at him, saying that he was making up stories!
But rather.

Crossing the Hongze River Four Times is true!

After this battle.

The name of that young man will surely be known throughout the world!
From now on, everyone knows it!

How could Dong An bear such a heavy blow?

The second is naturally the Book of Heaven.

Unlike Liang Jinian's rebellion, which was for power, Dong An's rebellion was purely for the Heavenly Book.

Now that the book has fallen into Chen Sanshi's hands, there is no way he can get it back.

For Dong An, this battle naturally lost its meaning.

Under the double pressure, how can one not commit suicide?

It’s just that his life doesn’t matter, but the whole Da Qi will suffer!
"Bastard thing!"

Zhong Wuxin kept cursing over and over again: "If I had known earlier, there would be no need for the 'catch the turtle in the jar' strategy!"

original.

They, the Great Qi, were planning to march their army directly into Mingzhou and then face off against the troops of the Sheng Dynasty.

The strategy was jointly proposed by Liang Jinian and Dong An.

They said they had a way to first consume the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Dasheng Dynasty, plus a bunch of innate martial saints, to directly gain the "big situation", and then take advantage of Sun Xiangzong's absence to defeat Liangzhou and Dasheng in one fell swoop.

result……

It's not like catching a turtle in a jar. It's clearly a case of reaping what one has sown. It's completely shooting oneself in the foot!

If I had known this earlier, I would have started a war directly. Even if the cost was higher, there would still be a 50% chance of winning!

Now, there is not a single cent left!
"Marshal, I haven't finished what I want to say."

The soldier continued, "Dong An's deputy general Li Tiancheng and his men seem to be moving closer to us. They said they don't know what to do after losing their leader, and they hope to merge with us before making plans."

"not good!"

Zhong Wuxin reacted immediately: "They are not here to join forces, they have turned against us and are going to attack us from both sides with Lu Ji! Quickly, retreat quickly, don't leave anyone behind, retreat overnight, and go straight back to the west of the Great Wall!"

"Isn't that..."

Several deputy generals had been listening beside him. They asked, "Are you not going to fight anymore?"

"Fuck off!"

Zhong Wuxin said angrily: "If Dong An is alive, there is still a chance. If he dies with Liang Jinian, the 'big situation' will be completely ruined. If we continue to fight, we will definitely lose. It won't work if we retreat slowly. Hurry up!"

"withdraw--"

……

Xuanwuying military camp.

"Boss!"

"good news!"

"Great news!"

Nie Yuan rushed into the tent with an excited look on his face, holding a secret letter in his hand.

"Third brother, why are you becoming more and more unstable?"

Lü Ji had just put on his armor and picked up the huge Fang Tian Hua Ji: "How good of a good news could it be? Is Dong An dead?"

"Yes! Dong An is dead!"

Nie Yuan slapped the secret letter on the table and said, "Li Tiancheng and others sent a letter, claiming that they promised to make amends for their mistakes and are heading towards Jianmen Gorge at full speed, preparing to attack us from both sides and swallow up the Western Qi Kingdom in one fell swoop!"

"really?!"

Lu Ji asked hurriedly, "How did Dong An die? Did Li Tiancheng and others team up to assassinate him?"

"Do not."

Nie Yuan said word by word: "He was angered to death by his junior brother."

"..."

Lu Ji was silent.

From that moment on he knew.

What kind of person will appear in the Eight Camps?

"Report!"

"Shuai Lu!"

"The scouts sent news that half a day ago, the main force of Zhong Wuxin's army began to withdraw from Jianmen Gorge!"

"What are you waiting for? Chase!"

Lü Ji did not lose his mind under the huge change: "Three thousand soldiers will follow me to charge and pursue, and the rest of the people will be divided into two groups at the back to prevent Li Tiancheng and others from pretending to surrender!"

"Beat the drums! March!"

……

Outside Yangchun Prefecture, in the wilderness.

After Sha Wenlong killed more than thirty pursuers with his bare hands, he continued to flee with Cao Fan. At this time, Hai Dongqing came back with information from Jianmen Gorge.

"General Lu said that Jianmen Gorge has been breached and told us to move forward!"

"General Lu is truly brave..."

Cao Fan said with emotion: "Jianmen Gorge is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It was unexpected that we could have done it in such a short time..."

"but……"

Sha Wenlong's expression was uncertain: "It was not General Lu who took it down, but the Western Qi Kingdom took the initiative to retreat, because, because after Chen Sanshi crossed the Hongze River for the fourth time, he went straight to Meishan Prefecture to kill Liang thieves, and then angered Dong An to death."

"What did you say?!"

Hearing this, Cao Fan's injuries seemed to be healed in an instant. He suddenly jumped up from the ground: "General Sha, are you sure? This is not false information from the enemy?"

"Sir, this is indeed true."

Sha Wenlong sighed and said, "Look for yourself."

"How did he do that?!"

Cao Fan's hands were shaking constantly, his eyes were bloodshot, and his words were incoherent: "The results of the four crossings directly... led to the retreat of the entire Western Qi army. In other words... this Mingzhou battle was equivalent to Chen Sanshi quelling the rebellion with only 3,000 people!
"One person rules a state!
“This is more than just a first-class achievement, it’s a heavenly achievement!
"This is the only Heavenly Power that ranks among the top ten in the past three hundred years of my Great Sheng Dynasty!"

"Sir!"

Seeing that the other party was about to fall, Sha Wenlong hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Prince!"

"General Sha, I can't win against him..."

Cao Fan had to admit: "Not only me, from now on, no one in the younger generation can compete with him."

"A big tree attracts the wind, which may not be a good thing. He will have to face more troubles in the future!"

Sha Wenlong advised, "Besides, you will have more opportunities in the future, Prince. After you go back, you can rest for a year or so, and then go to the grasslands to fight against the barbarians. The merits of fighting against the barbarians will be much greater than suppressing a rebellion!"

"General Sha."

Cao Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Why did Yu Song disobey orders? If he hadn't, the result should have been that all the Chens would have died on the way to attack Yangchun Prefecture. You and I would have led more than a thousand cavalry to break out, attack Jianmen Gorge from the rear, and work with General Lu to defeat the enemy. This Tiangong should have belonged to you and me. It's ours, and we deserve it!"

"Your Highness is right. How dare he, a lieutenant general, disobey orders?"

Sha Wenlong clenched his fists and made a clattering sound. "When I return, I will clearly list his crimes! If all the generals are like him, I think there is no need to fight this war. It will all be a mess!"

……

Luotian Pass.

"Liang Jinian is dead!"

"You rebels, surrender immediately, otherwise I will exterminate all your clans, leaving no one alive!"

"..."

There were only more than 1,500 of Chen Sanshi's followers left. Wherever they passed, all the enemies surrendered. Until they joined forces with the Imperial Guards, they completely opened up the Luotian Pass and stabilized the situation in the south.

At the same time, news came that Dong An had committed suicide.

"This guy likes to get stuck in a rut."

Chen Sanshi knew.

Dong An's death means the end of the war.

"General Chen Qian!"

Lu Shuhua and the others were very excited: "You led us to accomplish such a great feat!"

"Yes."

Xie Sishu followed up and said, "Not only did we accomplish great things, we also learned a lot from following you this time."

"More than that!"

Yan Changqing said admiringly: "After returning, I will carefully review the entire process of this Mingzhou rebellion suppression campaign on the map, and then write it down after organizing it. I believe that it will not be long before military strategists all over the world will regard it as a treasure!"

"General Chen Qian!"

"Marshal Jiang and his men brought some good wine, let's get drunk tonight!"

"Let's go!"

"..."

When a group of people cheered and celebrated.

Chen Sanshi left silently and rode Qianxun to search in the wilderness near Luotian Pass. Finally, he found more than thirty bodies in a valley dozens of miles away.

There are many wild wolves nearby.

Many of the corpses were gnawed beyond recognition.

He finally managed to identify Yu Song's mutilated, rotten, headless body through the water bag that once contained the "Drunken Saint".

"Chihiro."

Chen Sanshi patted his horse's head and said, "Go, call Zhao Kang and the others over, and move the bodies of the brothers back and place them properly."

He could go back and collect some local materials and medicinal herbs to prevent the corpses from further decaying, and then try to transport them back to Liangzhou after the war is truly over, so that they can return to their roots.

But the overall situation has been determined for now.

But it will take another two or three months to finish.

Fortunately, there will be no more danger in the future. Chen Sanshi and others only need to follow the capital army all the way. In most cases, they probably don't need to go into battle personally and can just watch from the side.

……

Beijing.

Inside the Wanshou Palace.

All the important officials in the court were present and the atmosphere was solemn.

As there was no news of the outcome of the Mingzhou war, the emperor prepared to lead the army himself.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Yan Liang and the others kowtowed and begged: "You are the body of a real dragon, the ruler of a country, how can you go to war so easily!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Bo, the Minister of War, said solemnly: "Your Majesty is the pillar of our Great Sheng Dynasty. You must not move it easily unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Father, I am willing to go!"

The gray-haired Prince Regent walked into the hall tremblingly on a cane. He put down his cane and knelt down slowly: "Father, let me lead the way!"

"You should get up first."

The curtains were opened, and the ruddy-faced and vigorous Emperor Longqing came to the crown prince and helped him up personally: "Didn't I tell you not to bow long ago? Your legs and feet are not in good condition, please don't hurt yourself. Huang Hong, give the crown prince a seat?"

"Thank you, Father!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch in plain clothes hurriedly brought a small stool and helped the prince sit on it.

"Ah."

Emperor Longqing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Prince, what did you just say?"

"Father, I want to personally conquer Mingzhou!"

The prince said solemnly, "Mingzhou can spy on Yanzhou in the north, and Liangzhou in the east. Going south through the wilderness, it can directly threaten Fengzhou and other places with empty troops. It is the gateway to our great prosperity, and we must not make any mistakes! Father, let me lead the army to Mingzhou, and I guarantee with my life that I will be able to quell the rebellion within three months."

"Your Majesty! I second the motion."

Gao Bo, the Minister of War, followed up by saying, "I am willing to accompany you. With Jiang Yuanbo, Lu Ji, the Crown Prince and me, we will definitely be safe!"

"Haha~"

Emperor Longqing did not rush to answer them. Instead, he turned around and sat on the dragon throne. After a long while, he replied leisurely, "The prince is ill and the journey to Mingzhou is long. I will go there myself. That's it."

The prince and Gao Bo looked at each other secretly, with a hint of disappointment on their faces.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Yan Liang, who had previously been against the emperor personally leading the army, began to agree after hearing that the prince wanted to go: "If the Emperor Wanshou leads the army to Mingzhou in person, he will surely win the battle!"

"When your Majesty arrives, the bandits will surely be terrified!"

"..."

"Okay, you all don't have to flatter me..."

Emperor Longqing said in a deep voice: "Do you think I want to go? I have to go! It is said that my Great Sheng Dynasty is full of talented people, but when it comes to the time of need, how many of them can stand on their own? In the final analysis, there are not enough available people, and not enough loyal people!"

"I am incompetent!"

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

"..."

"Fang Qingyun!"

Emperor Longqing looked at the Confucian scholar in the corner and said, "You can go with me!"

Fang Qingyun bowed his head slightly: "I obey your orders."

"Well, then..."

Emperor Longqing was about to continue selecting his troops and generals when a loud shout suddenly came from outside.

"Good news——"

"Great victory in Mingzhou——"

The battle reports were delivered into the palace layer by layer.

Inside the hall, all the civil and military officials heard it clearly, and everyone had a look of joy on their face.

Huang Hong, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, immediately went out to greet him.

"Jiang Yuanbo is indeed the best among the younger generation!"

"Yeah, it's such a fast time."

"Lü Ji, it must be Lü Ji!"

"You're right, siege warfare is what Lord Lu is best at!"

"..."

Emperor Longqing said, "Read it quickly, read it in front of everyone."

"Order!"

Huang Hong opened the letter and read it aloud.

However, soon, the expressions of the civil and military officials froze, and even Emperor Longqing's usually calm face showed uncontrollable emotional fluctuations.

Burning Jinquan, crossing Hongze four times, attacking Meishan, angering Dong An to death...

Any one of these things, taken individually, would be a tremendous achievement, but when they are combined together, they are all attributed to one person.

General Wude——Chen Sanshi!

"Rumble--"

There were no clouds in the capital, but everyone could clearly hear the rumbling of thunder.

For a while.

The entire Wanshou Palace was in complete silence.

No one spoke. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to express their shock.

"Huang Hong!"

Finally, it was the voice of Emperor Longqing on the dragon throne that pulled everyone back from their trance. He pointed at the chief eunuch and ordered, "Quickly draw the entire process of the Mingzhou rebellion suppression campaign and show it to everyone. No matter if you are a civil or military officer, memorize it and learn what a general and a commander are!"

The chief eunuch immediately called over several junior eunuchs, hung the map of Mingzhou in front of many officials, then sorted out all the battle reports of Mingzhou, and began to review the entire process stroke by stroke.

"This……"

"This seems ridiculous!"

"Every time we passed by the enemy."

"The Xiqi army and the rebels had a total of more than 100,000 people, but they were defeated by just a few thousand men from this young man!"

"..."

"My disappointing grandson is so lucky to be able to participate in this kind of war!"

The cabinet chief Yan Liang said in an old voice: "It is a blessing for the Great Sheng Dynasty to have such a young general. It is a blessing brought by your majesty's extensive merits and virtues!"

The prince leaned on a cane, his face almost touching the map: "God-given generals..."

"It seems that neither your Majesty nor your Highness will have to go to Mingzhou anymore."

Gao Bo kowtowed and said: "After this battle, I believe that in three to five months at most, the rebellion in Mingzhou will be completely quelled!"

"Well, it saves me and the court a lot of worry."

Emperor Longqing looked into the corner and asked, "Fang Qingyun, come on, are you the one who taught me these things?"

"To reply to your majesty, this is not my strategy. I am ashamed to say that I have had no contact with Chen Sanshi since the battle in Mingzhou."

Fang Qingyun said: "I'm afraid he just improvised all of this."

He looked at the route drawn in red ink on the map, and was afraid that even after he returned, he would have to study it carefully and record it. Even if he were to fight this battle himself, it would be impossible for him to do so. The best he could do was to save his life.

Crossing Hongze four times.

These four words are destined to be recorded in the history books and included in military books for disciples of military strategists hundreds or thousands of years later to study and admire!
He just...

Eighteen years old!
In the thousands of years of history, how many famous generals were there at the age of 18?!

"Adapt to circumstances?"

After hearing that it had nothing to do with "Feng Chu" and was purely the result of Chen Sanshi's independent command, the dignitaries were even more amazed.

"God General!"

"God-given general!"

Many officials kowtowed heavily.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Okay."

Emperor Longqing was not emotional, but he could not hide the joy in his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Reward, I will reward him generously. How about this, after the Mingzhou Rebellion is completely quelled, I will find a time to summon him to the capital! I want to meet this 18-year-old general!"

Fang Qingyun said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, this..."

"What? Is there something wrong?"

Emperor Longqing said in a joking tone: "My dear Lord Fang, are you afraid that I will rob the people from your eight camps?"

"Your Majesty's words terrify me."

Fang Qingyun explained: "Whether it is the Eight Great Camps or the whole world, they are all subjects of your majesty. How can you say they are robbing people?"

"Look how scared you are. I was just teasing you."

Emperor Longqing leaned back on the dragon chair and said, "It is settled then. After the war is over, the rest of the people will be rewarded as appropriate. As for General Wude Chen Sanshi, let's wait until we enter the capital. This period of time is just right for me to consider what reward I should give him!"

"Your Majesty is holy."

Fang Qingyun bowed his head.

He turned around and looked outside the hall at the northern sky.

The Mingzhou Rebellion is over.

……

The seventy-third year of the Longqing reign.

On July 25, the situation in southern Mingzhou was pacified.

On the sixth day of August, Zhong Wuxin led his troops to evacuate from Jianmen Gorge, temporarily stabilizing the situation in Dingxi Prefecture, while dealing with the Dasheng troops from Yanzhou, while evacuating in order. On the twenty-second day of August, the Suzaku Camp and the White Tiger Camp attacked the western part of Mingzhou, and together with Lu Ji and others, they caught up with Zhong Wuxin's troops. The Western Qi army lost 80% of its troops, including two Xuanxiangs and twenty Tongmai, and countless others. They retreated all the way back to the west of the Great Wall, and after receiving support from troops in the territory of Western Qi, they were defeated twice in a row before they stabilized the situation with the help of the terrain.

On September 12, the army cleared out the remaining rebels in Mingzhou.

On September 21st, Mingzhou was pacified.

On September 28th, the Beijing army returned to the capital, and the remaining troops returned to their original locations. The reserve camp returned in triumph.

"Old Zhao, are we here in January or February?"

"Can not remember."

"This war has been going on for almost a year."

"Yes."

"It seems our master has become famous this time."

"Not at all. What the hell is that martial saint Jiang from the capital? He has to be courteous to you when he sees you!"

"Strange, why are they all so shocked after knowing the outcome of the battle?"

"Yes."

"Isn't it normal and reasonable to follow the adults to win the battle?"

On the way back to Liangzhou.

The other groups were still discussing the Fourth Crossing of Hongze, only the brothers in Poyang were unusually calm; they just felt a little guilty.

"Brothers, we must work harder on our training after we return."

"Yeah, it's of very little use."

"By the way, have you seen the adults?"

"I think he went to Baigou County."

……

Baigou County.

Under the broken walls, only half of the city gate remained, crumbling in the autumn wind.

Chen Sanshi rode Qianxun slowly into the city.

Not long ago, the Suzaku Camp and the White Tiger Camp came here.

The corpses on the streets disappeared. I guess the army dealt with them all, either burning them or throwing them into a mass grave in the mountains. The county town became empty. Except for one or two survivors with numb eyes wandering around, there were only rats crossing the street. Such a big city was like a ghost town.

After this battle, the Western Qi State suffered heavy losses and probably would not dare to make any moves again for many years.

But at the same time, Minnesota also suffered huge losses and will need five to ten years to recuperate.

Chen Sanshi rode his white swan horse around the city and outside the city, but in the end he didn't see the person he was looking for. He felt that it seemed like they were not destined to be together, so he turned his horse around and prepared to leave.

"Daddy..."

Just at this moment, a timid yet courageous voice was heard.

Chen Sanshi turned around.

I saw a thin and tiny figure coming out of the narrow alley. His clothes, which were already full of patches, were already tattered. In his hand, he was holding a dead rat that he had picked up from somewhere. His big eyes looked particularly clear against the backdrop of his dirty face.

God knows how she is still alive.

"You just..."

Chen Sanshi leaned forward and asked, "What did you call me?"

"Daddy."

The little girl didn't dare to get too close. She stood about seven or eight steps away and said seriously, "My father told me that when he can no longer speak, I will go out and call men daddy and women mommy..."

"Okay."

Chen Sanshi turned over and got off the horse, stretched out his hands, and tried his best to make his voice sound gentle: "Daddy will take you home."

One battle after another.

He had long been tainted with an inexplicable evil spirit.

But the little girl hesitated for just a moment and then walked over in small steps.

Chen Sanshi carried him onto the horse's back and asked, "Have you ever ridden a horse before?"

"No."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Xixi."

"Last name?"

"What's Daddy's last name?"

"My surname is Chen."

"Then I, my name is Chen Yunxi."

"..."

"Xixi, throw the mouse away."

"Hungry……"

"Daddy, we have some dried meat and biscuits here."

"Oh."

"..."

"Dad, where are we going?"

"Didn't I tell you to go home?"

"Oh, thank you, Daddy. Do I have a mother?"

"Yes, count the days, you're going to be a sister soon."

……

October 22nd.

The flames lasted three months, and the family letter was worth ten thousand gold.

Liangzhou.

Chen Mansion.

"what--"

There was a sound of painful struggle in the bedroom.

"Yeah!"

Siqin and Mohua were in a panic: "What should we do? What should we do?"

"What are you yelling about?"

The best midwife in Liangzhou City said impatiently, "Everything was going well, but now it's causing a headache. Everyone, get out! Miss Sun, you get out too!"

"Oh, oh okay."

Sun Li reacted and led the two maids away.

"Bang bang bang-"

When I came to the front yard from the middle yard, I heard someone knocking on the door.

After Sun Li opened the door, she found it was Sun Buqi.

"sister!"

"Good news! Good news!"

Sun Buqi said with great joy: "Sister, my brother-in-law, no, Sanshi and the others are back! How should I put it, you can see for yourself!"

Sun Li read the text quickly, the expression in her eyes was complex and indescribable.

"It's amazing! It's amazing!"

Sun Buqi jumped back and forth excitedly: "Four Crossings of Hongze, do you understand? You don't understand! I understand now, I will draw it and explain it to you later! This time Sanshi is not only going to be famous in Liangzhou, but also in the whole Dasheng, no no no, it should be said that the whole world! Including Dongqing and Beiman, everyone must remember this name!"

"Where are they?"

Sun Li asked, "Have you come back?"

"It's almost there. It will arrive today."

Sun Buqi pointed in the direction of the South City Gate: "Everyone is waiting there."

"Go and have a look."

Sun Li brought the horses.

On the way to the city gate, the brother and sister met a carriage from Hongxiu Tower.

“Sister, isn’t this the bitch from Hongxiulou?!”

Sun Buqi was furious: "Why is she joining in the fun?"

……

wilderness.

After the army walked up a slope, a giant beast crawling in the wilderness finally appeared at the end of everyone's sight.

Liangzhou City!
came back!
As the first hero of this battle, Chen Sanshi rode on a white swan horse and walked at the front of the team, with the drowsy Chen Yunxi in his arms. In order to make it easier for her to lean on him, he didn't even wear armor.

He ate up all the precious medicines he had on him, but fortunately, he was only two months away from reaching the great perfection of Hua Jin, and then he would strive to break through to the Tong Mai realm and try to enter the Xuan Xiang realm as soon as possible.

……

[Magic: Sword Qi Technique (Introduction)]

【Progress: 135/500】

The spiritual sand was completely used up, and not only did his proficiency barely improve, but Chen Sanshi was also temporarily unable to use magic. After he calmed down, he still needed to get the incense burner in Ciyu Temple as soon as possible.

The exploration deep in the Luotian Mountains must continue, the Wushen Cult's mischief in Mingzhou must be investigated, and the materials for the bows and arrows must be prepared...

This is a private matter. As for military affairs, we will probably invade the grassland again next year. It will be a real war on a scale larger than the Mingzhou Battle, and the danger will only be higher, not lower.

After all, Mingzhou did not face off against a warrior of a higher level this time, but if he took the initiative to attack someone else's hometown, he would definitely encounter a warrior of a higher level.

Therefore, we still need to improve our strength quickly.

It is not enough to open up the meridians. It is best to reach the Xuanxiang realm before conquering the grassland.

It would be fine if I didn't count it, but now that I have counted it all, there is still a lot to do, and I really can't rest for a moment...

"Dad, are you here?"

Chen Yunxi woke up and asked in a daze.

On the way back to Liangzhou, Chen Sanshi stayed in the provincial capital for two days to find a place for the adopted girl to take a bath and change into clean and nice clothes. The girl was smart and cute, but a little thin and looked a little dry.

"arrive."

Chen Sanshi pointed ahead with his whip: "That's our home."

"Daddy, what are they singing?"

"Triumphant song."

"..."

The Mingzhou army returned victoriously from suppressing the rebellion, and inflicted heavy losses on the Western Qi State, so it was natural to celebrate.

Officials of all ranks in Liangzhou City had already left the city to welcome him.

The guard of honor and the banquet can be seen from twenty miles away.

Pei Tiannan, Eunuch Hou and others were naturally at the front.

Lu Ji and his men are all in the rear, and it will take some time for them to arrive back.

Although Chen Sanshi was not the head coach, he still became the only focus.

"Master Chen!"

Eunuch Hou came forward with a glass of wine in his hand and said, "We have all heard about your contribution. The way you fought this battle was truly unprecedented and will never be repeated. I admire you so much!"

"Yes."

Pei Tiannan didn't say much: "Where are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the others?"

Cao Fan and Sha Wenlong were finally rescued by Lu Ji and his troops near Jianmen Gorge. Later, they followed the Xuanwu Camp and made some small contributions to the cleanup.

"His Royal Highness is in the back."

Chen Sanshi said lightly.

He naturally did not forget that the other side had stabbed him in the back time and time again on the battlefield, and that they were all open conspiracies. Even if everyone knew what was going on, there was nothing they could do about it, and the most they could do was to blame it on a command error.

But the biggest blame was put on Dong An.

The court meant that the generals of various departments would not be held accountable for all the failures this time, because even the Ministry of War could not have anticipated Dong An's treason. Including the fact that the Mingzhou rebels would not be all killed after they surrendered, only a part of them would be killed at most, and the rest would be disrupted and transferred to other places and handed over to other prefecture armies to absorb and digest. There were 70,000 to 80,000 people in total. If they were really killed, it would be a huge loss for Dasheng itself.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

After Pei Tiannan got the news, he went to the back to find the prince.

After Chen Sanshi drank the wine given by Eunuch Hou, he continued to ride his horse forward.

There was a dark crowd near the city gate, filled with ordinary people. It was estimated that there were at least hundreds of thousands of them, stretching all over the mountains and fields. They listened to the triumphant songs and music, standing on tiptoe and stretching their necks, looking for their husbands, sons or fathers in the team. Some were so happy that their family members had returned with merit, while others did not see any familiar figures until the team had completely entered the city. There were only carts of corpses at the back. They could not control their emotions and began to mourn and cry, and then rushed up to claim the bodies.

Some are happy, some are sad, the autumn is sad and cold.

One general's success is built on the bones of thousands of soldiers, and the desolate tombs of Beiliang are adding to the new ones.

"Three stones!"

"Little junior brother."

A mixture of male and female voices rang out.

Sun Buqi and Sun Li said in unison.

"No, Senior Sister."

Chen Sanshi smiled and said, "You are here too."

"You are too cruel!"

Sun Buqi exclaimed: "For almost a year, we all thought you were dead, but you turned out to be alive and not only did you not die, you also caused such a big commotion!"

"Congratulations, little brother."

Sun Li's cold voice became much warmer: "After this battle, you are really going to shock the world."

"Huh~"

Sun Buqi noticed the child in his arms: "Sanshi, where did you get this little girl from?"

"Daddy, what should I call them?" the little girl said, gently tugging at the man's sleeve, looking a little embarrassed.

Daddy?

How long has it been?

Sun Buqi: “?”

Sun Li: “?”

"They are both your uncles."

Chen Sanshi introduced: "Don't be afraid."

"Xixi has met Uncle Master."

Chen Yunxi called out in a soft voice.

"Well, hello little girl..."

Sun Li reacted and reached out to pat Chen Yunxi on the head.

They will understand if they think about it carefully.

Although I was away for a year, it was not enough time to have a child, not to mention that the child looked to be five or six years old.

In all likelihood, he was a poor homeless child picked up in some desolate place.

Just like the eldest brother did in the beginning.

"Where's Sister Lan?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "How is she?"

"Go back quickly."

Sun Li said: "According to the time, my niece is about to be born, and I haven't had time to tell her that you are safe and sound."

"drive--"

Before they could finish their words, Chen Sanshi rode away on Qianxun and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

……

Chen Mansion.

"Wow--"

A newborn baby was born with a loud cry.

Gu Xinlan, with a pale face, held the child in her arms, her eyes a little red.

"Woooooooo..."

Siqin Mohua also started sobbing.

"Ah~"

The midwife sighed, "These days, there is chaos and disorder. I heard that tens of thousands of people went to Mingzhou this time... But Master Chen is different. Good people will be blessed by heaven. Madam, don't worry."

"Woo, woo, ma'am!"

Siqin couldn't help crying sadly: "Don't worry, we will take good care of you."

"We will also serve the young master well."

"Why are you crying? I'm not dead!"

The door suddenly opened.

A strong and upright figure appeared.

"Brother Shi?"

"master?!"

Chen Sanshi rushed to the bedside in a hurry.

"Brother Shi..."

"Don't move."

Chen Sanshi did not go to see the child, but asked the others: "Before I left, have you taken all the medicine I left for Madam to nourish her health?"

"Leave me alone."

Gu Xinlan tried to get up: "How are you? Are you not hurt?"

"Don't you know how strong I am? Don't worry."

"You really scared me to death..."

"..."

"Whoa whoa-"

The two talked for a long time until the baby started crying again. Chen Sanshi finally reacted and picked up the child. "It's really a son. Duhe was named right. Yunxi, this is your brother, and the one on the bed is your mother."

"Mother, mother."

Chen Yunxi shouted with some stammering.

"Good boy."

Gu Xinlan also guessed the reason and gently hugged the little girl.

Siqin Mohua was very perceptive and bowed together, saying, "Hello, young lady, hello, young master."

"Congratulations, Mr. Chen."

The midwife smiled and said, "Now we have both a boy and a girl."

"Hey, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Sanshi took out a few ingots of silver.

"Oh, thank you, sir!"

"Please take care of my wife and children first. I still have some military affairs to deal with."

After Chen Sanshi confirmed that everything was fine, he headed straight towards the military city.

After the team comes back, they will gather again to take stock of the tasks.

He also took this opportunity to inquire about something important.

barracks.

"Don't mention it. The Wushen Cult has not stopped at all during the year you were away. By the way..."

Li Qianzong said with a worried look on his face: "Just a while ago, the two Taoists in Ciyun Temple died."

"died?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "I remember that these two people were not convicted. Did you find evidence later?"

"That's not there."

Li Qianzong explained: "We tortured him for almost half a year, but there was really no substantial evidence. In addition, many major sects came to help speak for him and were privately dissatisfied with the Liangzhou Army. Due to the pressure, we were originally prepared to let him go.

"Guess what happened?

"The night before they were to be released, the two of them died in prison."

"is it?"

In order not to attract attention, Chen Sanshi chatted with Li Qianzong for half an hour before he talked about Ciyun Temple. He continued to ask, "How did he die?"

Li Qianzong said: "He committed suicide!"

"suicide?"

Chen Sanshi pretended to be just a casual observer and asked, "How do you commit suicide?"

"He smashed his own head with a slap."

Li Qianzong said with a sigh, "This is really weird. They were all held in solitary confinement. Who knows why they committed suicide? They died easily. Now people outside are saying that the Liangzhou Army killed innocent people indiscriminately."

Chen Sanshi knew in his heart that there must be something strange about this suicide.

He inquired, "If I remember correctly, the two people arrested were the abbot and the dean. If they were both dead, wouldn't Ciyun Temple have to close down?"

What he was most worried about was whether the incense burner was still there and whether it had been taken away by someone.

"Ciyun Temple is fine, and the Taoist priests under it haven't found any problems."

Li Qianzong said, "And I heard that they have a so-called uncle who will come back to take over Ciyun Temple soon. I think there will be someone to take over. I don't know how much money they can make from incense offerings every year. It's simply a cash cow! I don't know what those martial saints are thinking. Can they become immortals by worshipping the gods? It's ridiculous."

Someone else is coming...

Chen Sanshi knew that if he wanted to take action, he had to act quickly.
