Qi Zhou waved his hand and the soldiers immediately stopped. They were like one person, orderly and smooth.
Qi Zhou and Tian Chou got off their horses and walked quickly to greet He Jin's honor guard.
"This is Great General He Jin. Quickly greet him!”
Hearing this, the two of them bowed and said,"
"Yuyang Qi Zhou (Tian Chou) greets Great General!”
The 2,000 soldiers behind him also knelt down on one knee and shouted,""Greetings, Great General!"
This voice was loud and sonorous, and it seemed to shake the entire Luoyang.
He Jin's originally gloomy fat face suddenly beamed with joy. He got off the carriage and said with a smile,"Please rise!"
"Thank you, Great General!"
Whoosh! The armor on the soldiers 'bodies even let out a unified sound.
"Reporting to Great General, Qi Zhou has been ordered by the prefect to lead two thousand swordsmen and shield men to escort the leader of King Qiao's troops and five thousand Wuhuan captives. He has come to Luoyang to present the captives.”
"Good, good, good!" He Jin laughed loudly and sent people to take over this batch of captives. He escorted them into Luoyang. Qi Zhou, Tian Chou, and two thousand swordsmen followed behind.
Countless commoners stood on both sides of the street, looking at these Wuhuan captives who were obviously different from the Han people, and the two thousand Yuyang Army soldiers with extraordinary auras. Their faces were filled with pride.
This was the army of the Great Han Dynasty! This was the captive of the burly man!
"Beat his mother!"
Suddenly, rotten eggs and rotten vegetables rained down on the Wuhuan people's heads.
Not only did General He Jin not stop him, but his smile grew even wider.
Luoyang Imperial Palace, Weiyang Palace, Zhengxuan Hall.
The Spirit Monarch's face was radiant today, and his aura was boundless.
"Rang-fu, why aren't you here yet?"
Zhang Rang looked at the Spirit Monarch speechlessly. In just fifteen minutes, the Spirit Monarch had asked more than ten times. However, the Spirit Monarch was his master. No matter how impatient he was, he had to answer softly.
At this moment, a eunuch's shout came from outside the hall.
"Great General He Jin and the captives from Yuyang request an audience.”
"Announce!"
The Spirit Monarch shouted.
Zhang Rang took a few steps forward and shouted,"Xuan, the general and the prisoner of Yuyang, please give an audience!"”
He Jin's fat body was like a ball as he slowly rolled into the hall. Qi Zhou and Tian Chou followed behind him.
"I, He Jin, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"Yuyang Qi Zhou and Tian Chou greet Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!”
"Please get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Great General returned to his position, with Qi Zhou and Tian Chou standing in the middle.
"Qi Zhou, Tian Chou, right? Quickly tell me, how did Liu Zihong fight?”
Qi Zhou and Tian Chou looked at each other and saw Tian Kai take a step forward. He cupped his hands and said,""Reporting to Your Majesty, on that day, the prefect"
When Tian Chou finished speaking, it was already an hour later. The Spirit Monarch smacked his lips and smiled,""I didn't expect Zihong to be invincible in the formation and have outstanding strategies! He was truly skilled in both literature and martial arts! Hahaha…" The Spirit Monarch was delighted and even glanced at Yuan Kui. He thought to himself,'I have good taste. Fortunately, I refuted Yuan Kui. Otherwise, when would my imperial clan have produced such a general?'
Just as he thought of Yuan Kui, he didn't expect the old man to speak."
"Your Majesty, this old minister has a memorial!"
"Speak!" The Spirit Monarch was unhappy when he saw him and his tone was unhappy.
"Your Majesty, this old minister has witnessed the cruelty and bloodthirstiness of the Yuyang Prefecture Governor, Liu Zihong. I hope Your Majesty will understand!”
The Spirit Monarch was a little confused and said,""How is it cruel and bloody?"
"Liu Zihong burned 30,000 people to death and destroyed a county city. He is too cruel. I hope Your Majesty will punish him!”
"What?" The Spirit Monarch opened his mouth wide and pointed at Yuan Kui.""How can there be no deaths in this war? Grand Tutor Yuan is too much!"
"Not bad!" Great General He Jin stood out and cupped his hands."If the Hu Krupp doesn't die, the people of Great Han will suffer. Grand Tutor Yuan values the Hu Krupp more than the people of Great Han.”
Yuan Kui did not expect He Jin to make a countercharge and was very unhappy in his heart. He said,"Great General, you're wrong! Liu Zihong could mercilessly burn thirty thousand people to death. With such a temperament, how could he govern Yuyang well? Perhaps the people of Yuyang had already lived under his cruel rule?! I heard that Liu Zihong went on a killing spree when he first arrived in Yuyang, killing no less than thousands of people!”
When the Spirit Monarch heard this, he felt that it made sense. He could not help but look at Qi Zhou and Tian Chou.
"Your Majesty, Tian Chou has something to say.”
"Tell me."
"Your Majesty, not only is the Prefect not as cruel and heartless as Grand Tutor Yuan said, he loves the people like his own children!”Tian Chou first supported Liu Yuan before explaining,""It is true that the Prefect went on a killing spree when he first arrived in Yuyang.”
"However, there is a very big reason for this!”
"Your Majesty and all of you may not know this, but Tian Chou was born in the Right Beiping and has been working in Yuyang for several years. Yuyang City had a local tyrant named Zhang Clan. He had always been a tyrant. After the death of the previous prefect, he became even more unscrupulous. Not only did he control the military and government of Yuyang City, but he also colluded with the Wuhuan and harmed the people.”
"That's why the Mayor uprooted the Zhang family in one fell swoop and gave the people of Yuyang a peaceful life.”
"And this time, the attack on Pan Xi by the Wuhuan was caused by the remnants of the Zhang Clan!”
"The prefect did not have enough soldiers, and they were all county soldiers. Their combat strength was not strong, so they could only think of a fire attack strategy to defeat the Wuhuan.”
" I see." The Spirit Monarch nodded as he listened." I wonder if Grand Tutor Yuan has anything else to say."”
"This old minister was negligent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!”Yuan Kui had no choice but to retreat, once again returning empty-handed.
Seeing that Yuan Kui had been defeated, the Spirit Monarch couldn't help but smile even wider and said,""Since that's the case, there are still two memorials here. Let father read them out to all the beloved ministers.”
Zhang Rang took out two memorials from his sleeves. They were from Liu Yan and Liu Ji.
“... Liu Zihong was a gentle and refined person with the demeanor of a royal family. He had defeated the Hu Krupp twice and was the role model of the country!... Zhang Lin, the captain of the Wuhuan, did not think of the emperor's kindness and allowed the Hu Krupp to plunder the people and wantonly attack Youzhou... I hope Your Majesty will remove him from his post and choose another capable person... I recommend Liu Zihong…"
"Dear ministers, what do you have to say?”
"Liu Ji and Liu Yan are famous all over the world. They definitely won't shoot without thinking.”He Jin was the first to report.
Although Yuan Kui had the intention to stop him, seeing that His Majesty liked it, he did not dare to say anything more.
"Announce the imperial edict!”
Zhang Rang picked up an imperial edict that had been written long ago from the table and gently opened it."Liu Yuan, accept the decree!"
Liu Yuan wasn't here, so his subordinates naturally received him. Qi Zhou and Tian Chou couldn't hide their joy and quickly knelt down to receive the edict.
"Liu Zihong has worked hard and made great contributions. He has defeated the Hu Krupp. I am very comforted. I hereby confer Liu Zihong the position of Wuhuan Guard Lieutenant. I hope that he will put the country's affairs first and guard the northern border for the Great Han Dynasty!”
"This subject receives the decree!"
Tian Chou took a few steps forward and bowed to receive the edict. He carefully held it in his hand and returned to the hall.
"Men!" Seeing that this matter had been handled according to his wishes, the Spirit Monarch was very straightforward. Then, he remembered that Liu Zihong had captured a leader and hurriedly said,"Bring that King Shen Qiao here!”
A moment later, soldiers escorted the clean-washed King Qiao to the palace. The palace was sacred, how could it be tainted?
"Sinful Wuhuan King Qiao greets the Great Han Emperor. May His Majesty live a long life!”
King Qiao trembled and prostrated himself in front of the Spirit Monarch.
The Spirit Monarch laughed out loud.”
"Zhen asks you! How dare you bully us?”
"Your Majesty, the sinners were bewitched by villains, which is why they did such an unwise thing. The sinners know their mistakes, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive them!”
Seeing that this person was so obedient, the Spirit Monarch no longer had the mood to tease him. He thought of Liu Yuan, who was fighting with him, and couldn't help but ask,""What do you think of Liu Yuan?"
King Qiao answered honestly," Liu Yuan's martial arts skills are strong. He can be said to be invincible. His schemes are divine and unparalleled in the world!”
"Hahahahaha…" After hearing this, the Spirit Monarch was overjoyed.""It is truly a blessing that the Hu Krupp has sincerely submitted to our Great Han! I'm happy today, King Qiao!"
"The sinners are here!"
"Since you sincerely submit, I will spare your life. Come, demote King Qiao to a commoner and build a palace for me with the captives!”
