Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 259 The Triumph of the Army (Part [-])
At noon the next day, the sky was high and the air was crisp, the blue sky was cloudless, and the soft sunlight spread all over the earth, and the whole Jixian County was in a state of boiling.

"I heard that the Liaoxi Army returned in triumph today."

"That's right, Master Hou has already gone ten miles out of the city to meet him in person."

"Then I'll go and have a look later. This is a great joy for me in Youzhou. The prestige of the Marquis and the courage of the deputy commander are the only reasons for such a great victory."

"Go together, go together"

Many people went to the north gate together. After arriving, they found that the place was crowded with people. From the north gate to the main gate of the governor's mansion, soldiers were all standing there, completely pulling out the spacious street. .

Today's people in Youzhou respect Yuan Xi to the extreme. In addition to the continuous publicity of the government affairs hall, and because of Yuan Xi's arrival, Youzhou has become more stable countless times, especially the care for the soldiers and the love for the people. The suppression made them willing to live under Yuan Xi's rule forever. Even if no one organized them, they would spontaneously come to cheer for Yuan Xi.

On the top of the north city gate, dressed in official uniform, Lu Yu appeared here with a group of people who became more and more majestic. Looking at the crowded and cheering scenes at his feet, he said solemnly: "If you pass the order, you must ensure order. , there must be no chaos, but it must not hurt the people."

"No!" A school captain responded immediately.

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked into the distance: "The deputy commander and the others should be arriving soon."

At this time, on an official road ten miles away from Jixian County, I saw a huge number of personal guards appearing in front of me, all wearing armor, staring sharply at the surroundings, on a flat ground in the middle of them, Yuan Xi, Yuan Ping, Li Ru, Han Yan, Pang Tong, Yan Fang, Ju Hu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other civil servants in the governor's mansion, as well as the military generals of Ji County all gathered here, talking and laughing.

However, as time slowly passed, Yan Fang, who was closely following Yuan Xi, suddenly became nervous, why hasn't he come yet!It stands to reason that he should have arrived long ago. If there are no problems on the way, that's okay, but if his father deliberately delays it to show his meritorious service, then the consequences will be serious. Although Yan Rou is the deputy commander, she is known as the No. 1 military general in Youzhou , but everyone in Youzhou knew that Yuan Xi was the supreme one. Going out of the city for ten miles this time was already a great honor for the Yan family, how could they be arrogant!

The other civil servants and military generals also started talking about it. Among them, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who had just surrendered, also felt that something was wrong.

"Master Hou, do you want to send someone to take a look?" Hu Niu'er came over and asked in a low voice.

"No need, it's probably due to some kind of delay, so don't worry, just wait patiently," Yuan Xi laughed.

"Hou Ye is wise," all the officials immediately bowed.

After waiting for about half a stick of incense, the army has not arrived yet. This is a problem. Some civil servants are already dissatisfied. Yuan Xi has already sent a letter to Yan Rou about welcoming him, and even came out very early. It's been a long time, but it hasn't arrived yet. What does Yan Rou want to do? Does she just think that she can take credit for taking the credit for taking over Liaodong?
Beads of sweat had already appeared on Yan Fang's forehead, and he looked into the distance very worriedly.

"Master Hou, it's been an hour already," Hu Niu'er said slightly displeased.

"Bastard, Xi still reminded you that the deputy commander gave up his life to fight Gongsundu, regained Liaodong, and made great contributions to the unification of Youzhou. What! I will wrong you if you wait for an hour." Yuan Xi suddenly turned to Hu Niu Er yelled, but anyone who cared knew that this seemed to be scolding Hu Niu'er, but it was actually a warning to everyone that he, Yuan Xi, didn't care about this, and told them to take back all their petty thoughts.

"Hou Ye is kind, don't say it's just an hour, today is the evening, and we have to welcome the triumphant return of the army, don't let the soldiers feel cold," Li Ru said with admiration.

"What the military adviser said is very true. The deputy commander was willing to let go of his military power back then. He will never delay for no reason today. There must be something wrong." Pang Tong also said loudly. Letting the military commander enter would not send his only son to Ji County.

Yan Fang smiled wryly, and immediately knelt down on the ground in shame, "It's my father's fault for keeping Lord Hou waiting so long, and I hope Lord Hou will make amends."

"Xueping, get up quickly." Yuan Xi quickly pulled Yan Fang up, turned his head to look at the officials and said solemnly: "You are all important ministers of the governor's office, you need to have a magnanimous belly and the ability to discern right and wrong. Army, fighting against Gongsundu's [-] troops, how difficult it is. For the great cause, the deputy commander sacrificed a lot. Don't let some so-called conspiracies and tricks appear in your mind because of a little storm. Xi firmly believes that the deputy commander will treat Xi Loyalty, respect for Xi, all stand up for someone honestly, remember that there is no room for intrigue or flattery in my governor's mansion in Youzhou, only unity and courage."

Entrepreneurs need unity, because the master has enough prestige to deter everything, and only the successors will adopt a balanced approach to stabilize the court.

Hearing Yuan Xi's warning, all the officials were startled, and immediately shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is wise, I will know my mistake!"

Especially Zhang Liao and Gao Shun couldn't help but looked at each other, with a trace of admiration on their faces, this must be the heart of the hero!If Lu Bu had encountered such a thing, he would have been furious.

"Fang, Xie Hou Ye on behalf of my father," Yan Fang immediately saluted again with tears in his eyes.

"Drive!" At this moment, there was a loud sound of horseshoes, and Yan Rou, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and other generals, as well as a small group of soldiers, were rushing over. Everyone's body was wet. Damn, it seems to have just been drenched by rain.

Xu Shu, who was galloping wildly, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the people waiting in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After Yan Rou's fast horse approached, she looked at the young man standing proudly in the middle, wearing a cloak and a golden crown on her head. She immediately pulled the horse, dismounted quickly, walked forward, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "The last general, Yan Rou, pays homage to Lord Hou and keeps him waiting for a long time. He really deserves death."

"Meet Lord Hou" Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others immediately knelt down on one knee.

"You don't need to be polite, everyone get up." Seeing this scene, Yuan Xi immediately stepped forward, supported Yan Rou, and said with surprise, "Deputy Commander, what's wrong with you? It didn't rain today!"

Hearing this, Yan Rou showed a wry smile, her eyes full of helplessness.

"Master Hou, before dawn this morning, the deputy commander has already ordered the whole army to set off. You must not keep Lord Hou waiting for a long time. Whoever wants to go halfway, the Hanshan Bridge that must be passed for some reason is broken. , the army couldn’t pass through at all, and I planned to arrange for them to cross the river to report the situation to Lord Hou, but the deputy commander said that Lord Hou had been waiting for the army, so there was no delay, so he left the army to repair the Hanshan Bridge, and took us personally Wading across the river, the river is still extremely cold, and the river is wide, so it was only an hour late, and I hope the Marquis will make amends." At this time, Xu Shu opened his mouth and immediately explained.

When Yuan Xi heard this, he looked at Yan Rou, who was wet all over, and the corners of his mouth were bruised perhaps because of the cold, his eyes fixed, and he immediately took off his ermine cloak, hung it on Yan Rou's body, and shouted loudly. Said: "Go and prepare the stove."
