Especially Zhao Gou, whose face was about to turn purple.
Because he was caught off guard by this news, he choked and coughed violently. The veins on his forehead bulged."Cough cough, this is impossible!"
His eyes were extremely ferocious as he said,"Yang Zaixing led his army and set off. It has only been five days. According to the speed of the army, they will only reach Liangshan Lake for a day at most!
Liang Shan Po was surrounded by water and was easy to defend but difficult to attack. There were also so many high-skilled rebels. No matter how powerful Yang Zaixing was, how could he take down Liang Shan in a day?”
"Cheating! This must be a scam!
Yang Zaixing must have lied about the victory and concealed his military achievements to consolidate his position!
This is deceiving the emperor. Quickly prepare the sedan chair. This king wants to enter the palace to meet the emperor and consult Yang Zaixing!”
Zhao Gou did not believe it at all. His eyes were filled with self-righteous excitement and excitement as he wanted to sue Yang Zaixing.
At this moment, Tong Guan, who also had a dark expression, suddenly took a few steps forward and stood in front of Zhao Gou.
"Majesty Kang, you can't!
Yang Zaixing was not an idiot. Since he had used the Red Plume Messenger to report the victory along the way, it was definitely not fake news!
Otherwise, even if he could deceive the emperor for a while, he could not hide it for a few days!”
Although Tong Guan was already in his sixties, he was still very strong due to the foundation he had gained from leading armies in his youth. He pulled Zhao Gou's sleeve and shouted loudly.
Tong Guan's loud shout caused the self-righteous look in Zhao Gou's eyes to stop abruptly, turning into a thick sense of defeat and disbelief."Privy Tong, Yang Zaixing has only sent troops for five days. How could he destroy Liangshan so quickly?
Back then, Grand Commandant Gao and you each led 100,000 troops to attack Liangshan, but they couldn't do anything to it. How did Yang Zaixing destroy the Liangshan bandits as easily as paper?”
Zhao Gou roared hysterically, his entire body trembling violently. He simply didn't want to believe this.
Because of his anger, he even bit his lips, and blood flowed down the corners of his lips.
Han Zongwu, Zhang Bangchang, and the others did not look any better than Zhao Gou. All of them looked like they were in disbelief!
They were just planning how to take advantage of Yang Zaixing's failure to conquer Liangshan to kill him.
In the blink of an eye, he received news of the great victory at Liang Mountain and the destruction of Liang Mountain by Yang Zaixing!
It was as if a mouthful of dead flies was stuck in their throats, making them unable to swallow or swallow.
Looking at the hysterical Zhao Gou, Tong Guan's face was filled with bitterness."Majesty Kang, I don't want to believe this news either.
However, Yang Zaixing had used the Red Feather Emissary to travel 800 li. The news had probably spread not only in Bianliang, but also throughout the entire Jingdong Road.
No matter how stupid Yang Zaixing was, he could not have blatantly lied to the emperor and left evidence behind.
This time, we have miscalculated. Not only did Yang Zaixing destroy Liangshan, but he also destroyed Liangshan in one battle!
This heaven-shaking military merit would make that kid even more arrogant in the court!”
At this moment, a confidant of Zhao Gou strode in from outside the mansion and reported hurriedly,"
"Reporting to Your Highness, our people saw that the palace sent people to the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the ceremony. They said that His Majesty will personally lead the officials to welcome Yang Zaixing ten miles away!”
Hearing this, Zhao Gou's eyes turned red with anger. This time, not only had he miscalculated, but he had also lost face in front of so many people.
Zhao Gou, who was both angry and furious, immediately felt a sweet taste in his throat. A smear of scarlet splattered on the ground. He actually vomited blood in front of everyone!
"Welcome!
This is the etiquette of the emperor to his distinguished guests. Since the founding of the Great Song, no one has ever enjoyed such treatment. My royal brother actually wants to welcome a martial artist!
This is ridiculous!"
Zhao Gou's body swayed slightly after vomiting blood. He angrily smashed several beloved teacups and roared hysterically.
Tong Guan, Zhang Bangchang, and the others were depressed and anxious. Their mood was not much better than Zhao Gou.
They could all imagine that Yang Zaixing had made another solid contribution. The current Emperor Zhao Heng would definitely reward Yang Zaixing even more.
With Yang Zaixing's martial arts and prestige, Zhao Heng's throne was more and more consolidated.
Zhao Gou, Tong Guan, and Zhang Bangchang, the civil and military officials of the Retired Emperor's faction, were losing their footing!
……
A day later, Yang Zaixing led nearly 50,000 troops and returned to Bianliang City. From afar, he saw the Song Emperor Zhao Heng leading the civil and military officials. Ten miles east of Bianliang City, he had set up a full ceremonial array.
Drum music filled the sky, playing triumphant music.
"Great General, His Majesty is personally leading all the civil and military officials to the suburbs to welcome him. Moreover, he is ten miles out of the city. This is unprecedented!”
The soldiers under Yang Zaixing were excited. They had never been so excited even when they followed Yang Zaixing to conquer Liangshan.
This was because the emperor's welcoming ceremony in the suburbs showed the importance and honor of the emperor to the soldiers who had returned from the expedition!
Even in the Tang Dynasty, where martial arts were valued, the emperor would only welcome them outside the city gates.
Firstly, the emperor had a high status, and secondly, he relied on the city to prevent the army from mutiny and could retreat into the capital at any time.
The current emperor, Zhao Heng, led his civil and military officials ten miles out of the city!
This was not just a supreme honor, but also an unabashed trust!
Although they knew that this was mainly because of Yang Zaixing, these martial artists had never experienced such a scene before.
At that moment, all of them felt their blood boil and felt honored!
He looked at the commander-in-chief Yang Zaixing with deep admiration!
They firmly believed that not only would they be able to seal off their wives and children, but they would also be able to make immortal contributions and leave their names in history!
Everyone's eyes were filled with tears, and their desire to die for Yang Zaixing was even more deep-rooted!
