After another three days, other than the 1,000 cavalrymen and 2,000 infantrymen who were left behind, the entire army was on their way back!
Along the way, the story of Yang Hao, the descendant of the Yang family of Hongnong, a fifth-grade general, became the topic of conversation for the soldiers.
"I've been a soldier for so many years, but I've never heard of an enemy retreating without even fighting a single battle.”
"Who says it isn't?"
"I've always thought that the heirs of generals are all good-for-nothings. He didn't expect that this young general who had just qualified to be called a prince was so powerful.”
"Three thousand men held out for a year!”
"In the end, three thousand men were exchanged for forty thousand.”
"Amazing, amazing!"
"It would be great if those princes in Chang 'an also had this ability.”
"That's good. If it's all like this, we can go home alive and have more opportunities to accompany this mother and Madam to plow the fields!”
Other than a small number of recruits, most of them were government soldiers from various places. They were brought back by the local generals, and the story of this young general who had just qualified to be called a prince was also brought back to all parts of the country by them.
Afternoon, 12 pm!
The last batch of troops withdrew from Songzhou City.
The remaining soldiers would wait for the recruitment of the prefecture soldiers in Songzhou to be completed before returning to their encampment.
Everything had returned to normal. The local officials would handle the recruitment of soldiers. Yang Hao had nothing else to do.
Yang Hao knew that the Great Tang and Tubo wouldn't be at war for the time being, not even small-scale skirmishes on the border.
He knew that when Geer Qinling returned, Songzan Gambo's attitude would definitely not be to scold him. Songzan Gambo would be shocked by the Great Tang's military achievements, he would offer compensation, he would apologize.
Under the sunlight, Yang Hao watched the last batch of soldiers leave and felt much more relaxed.
He looked at the blue sky and white clouds under the sun as if he was looking at his client, who was like a twin brother.
"It's time for me to go to another battlefield. I should go home so that the grandparents who watched you grow up won't recognize me.”
"This battlefield isn't any easier than a battle between two armies!”
"It's very difficult, but I promised you. I have to go, right?”
"Brother, don't worry. I, Yang Hao, have never been a hero, but I will definitely do what I say.”
"After all, you gave me a home in the Great Tang.”
Thinking of this, he stretched lazily. When he wasn't wearing armor, he felt really relaxed. He felt that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter.
"I can. I'm done!" Yang Hao inadvertently said this sentence.
"What do you mean by retired?"
"Brat, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Two mature voices suddenly came from behind.
Yang Hao subconsciously turned around and saw Su Lie, Li Daozong, and Hou Junji riding on their horses. Behind them were the hundreds and thousands of Ox Guards they had brought from Chang 'an.
The Thousand Bull Guards usually did not charge into the battlefield. They were sent by the Emperor to protect the commander and guard the commander's camp. If they were to fight, it would definitely be a battle of life and death.
"Uncles, are you leaving?" Yang Hao cupped his hands at the three generals.”
"Yes!" Li Daozong nodded and smiled.”
"Child, your father will definitely be pleased.”
"Wait here. After we return to the court, the imperial edict for you to enter the court will come in a few days.”
"I…"
"By the way, do you have a wife?"
Just as Yang Hao was about to say his true thoughts, Li Daozong immediately added another question.
As soon as Li Daozong finished speaking, Yang Hao immediately fell into an awkward and incomparably worried state.
In fact, in order to avoid contact with these three, Yang Hao had been busy with the funeral of his soldiers. As for them, they were stationed outside the city to make arrangements for the retreat.
Sigh!
No matter how he dodged, he still couldn't dodge!
What should he do?
Jiang Ke wasn't here, but if he was, he could ask him if he was married or not.
Thinking about it, Yang Hao laughed at himself. It was strange that he didn't even know if he was married or not.
He had almost forgotten that his client had left home at the age of fifteen. In the Great Tang, it was the age to get married.
Yang Hao looked at the three people who were paying close attention to him. Su Lie's eyes were sharp, Li Daozong was looking forward to an answer, and Hou Junji's eyes were a little impure.
This was simply interrogating him!
Yang Hao began to analyze the situation quickly.
No, no, no!
They were stationed in Chang 'an, and it was still a little far for him to live in Hongnong.
These generals who called themselves uncles should have some relationship with his father and should have seen him a few times. Otherwise, they wouldn't have recognized him as soon as they arrived.
However, he firmly believed that they did not meet the client many times and did not know much about him. After all, the transportation was inconvenient!
What was Li Daozong's motive for asking this question?
Could it be that he discovered something and was testing me?
Depressed, this really tested me.
"Brother, are you married or not?”
Cold sweat broke out on Yang Hao's forehead as he asked.
At this moment, Li Daozong also had some thoughts in his heart.
He wondered if Yang Hu had heard his promise. If he married a wife and his daughter became a concubine, it would be too unfair.
However, he, Li Daozong, was a man of his word. Even if it was a concubine, he had to marry her.
He just wanted to confirm it!
Su Lie looked at Yang Hao and said worriedly,""Don't really marry him. Your uncle has prepared it for you!”
In fact, Su Lie and Li Daozong were busy with military affairs and had only visited the Yang family a few times. The most recent time was three years ago. Three years ago, he didn't get married. Who knew what would happen three years later?
Hou Junji's eyes narrowed as he thought to himself,"It's best if she does. That way, my son will have hope."”
"I believe that other than him, my son is the best in both martial and civil affairs.”
The three of them looked at Yang Hao with different eyes, making him feel a little guilty.
If Yang Hao knew what they were thinking, it would be easier to answer.
However, he was a fake general. Due to the lack of information, his thoughts were not on the same line as theirs. He had no choice. He had to be careful. He had promised the client that even if he was exposed, he would have to wait for his grandparents to die.
Therefore, he didn't dare to answer questions that he wasn't sure of.
What should he do?
Pretending to have a headache again?
In just a few seconds, the four of them were thinking about their own things, but they were all waiting for Yang Hao's answer.
Just as Yang Hao was in a dilemma, Jiang Ke arrived.
" Brothers, brothers!!"
"It seems that there won't be a war in the near future.”
"Go back and see your grandparents!”
"By the way, tell me about a wife."
"You're not young anymore."
Yang Hao smiled in his heart. Brother, he was really a good brother, a brother who had gone through life and death!
