Buzz.
The gates of Yanmen Pass opened again.
After the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield and the heavy rain, the entire Yanmen Pass had already receded from its thick atmosphere.
However, the damage to the city gate, the scratches on the city wall, and some thick blood stains needed to be cleaned up.
Therefore, it would take some time for Yanmen Pass to return to its original state before the war.
Ta Ta.
When the city gates were completely opened, the army of Yanmen Pass appeared one after another, accompanied by the sound of neat hooves. The first was the ranks of the generals from the battle at Yanmen Pass.
There were Lai Hu 'er, Li Yuan, Wei Wentong, and the others.
Behind the generals were Li Shimin and the four thousand soldiers.
The left and right wings of the army were occupied by the remaining 19,000 soldiers of the West Ocean Army, while the 17,000 Vigor Guards were stationed in the middle and rear.
Yuwen Chengdu, together with civil ministers Su Wei, Yu Shiji and Yuwen Huaji, accompanied Your Majesty.
Of course, the one closest to His Majesty was the King of Qin. During the march, the two of them would talk about some things.
It was about how the King of Qin destroyed Tuyuhun after he arrived at the West Ocean and how he trained the West Ocean army.
Yuwen Huaji wanted to eavesdrop on these matters many times, but he was too far away to hear anything.
After all, the West Ocean Army was such a terrifying army. Who wouldn't want to know how they were trained?
From Yanmen Pass to Luoyang, the eastern capital, it was estimated to take seven or eight days by foot.
Without any mishaps along the way, the army finally arrived at Luoyang.
Before he entered the city gate, he saw a crowd outside.
"I'm finally back."
Yang Guang, who was in the middle of the army, looked at the huge words on the city gate of Luoyang and sighed.
Back when he was besieged at Yanmen Pass and the situation was quite bad, Yang Guang felt that he would never see the gate of Luoyang City again. Now that he could see it again, he naturally felt a lot.
The army did not stop for a moment. It was only when they entered the city gate that they could clearly see the situation at the city gate.
After knowing that the Emperor was safe and sound at Yanmen Pass and that he had won a great victory, a group of officials came here to welcome the Emperor back.
Wang Shichong, the chief steward of Luoyang, and Li Tongke, the civil minister of the Northern Tu people, were led by Pei Ju, an important minister of a famous family in the west of the river, to welcome them at the city gate.
"Your Majesty's blessing, the dragon body is fine, and we were able to defeat the Turks. This is a good omen for Great Sui!”
Pei Ju was the first to shout.
"Your Majesty's blessing, the dragon body is safe and sound, this is a good omen for Great Sui!”
Immediately after, the other officials also knelt down.
Why was he kneeling here?
Firstly, it was to celebrate His Majesty's safe return, and secondly, to know that Yanmen Pass had won a great victory.
"His Highness the King of Qin is extremely brave and showed his might at Yanmen Pass. He is really the God of War of Great Sui!”
After saluting the Emperor, the ministers once again saluted Yang Ji. Of course, this was only a salute of kneeling on one knee, which was considered a military salute.
"Everyone, please rise quickly. When I'm not in court, I'll have to trouble you to contribute to the Great Sui Dynasty and do some political work.”
Yang Guang stretched out his hand and made a supporting gesture to get the officials to stand up.
" Is that His Highness the King of Qin?"
"You don't recognize him. His Highness the King of Qin was a famous figure in Luoyang. He was deliberately sent to the border because of some conflicts with His Majesty. I didn't expect him to come back this time.”
"Nonsense. During the Battle of Yanmen Pass, His Highness the King of Qin dispatched an army from the West Ocean to come here from thousands of miles away. This shows the kinship between His Highness and His Majesty.”
"The defeat of the Turks at Yanmen Pass has truly raised the prestige of our Great Sui.”
Some of the commoners discussed animatedly.
At this moment, Wang Shichong, the manager of Luoyang, narrowed his eyes slightly. The King of Qin was indeed a thorny existence. When the Great Sui was on the verge of collapse, there were rebellions everywhere. In fact, many ministers in the court had the intention of rebelling.
But why didn't he rebel?
They were wary of the King of Qin and his West Ocean army. When the King of Qin attacked Tuyuhun, no one was optimistic about his chances, but he still attacked.
The battle in the Hexi Corridor was also a cause of concern for some of the officials of the Guanlong nobles. Otherwise, how could the Great Sui maintain its peace on the surface?
However, with the victory at Yanmen Pass and the unexpected bravery of the West Ocean army, the ministers began to consider other factors.
After the battle at Yanmen Pass, the Great Sui, which was on the verge of collapse, had the possibility of coming back to life.
First of all, the Turks had been defeated, and the external threat had been stabilized. As long as the internal threat had been stabilized, then Great Sui's situation would be completely stabilized.
In addition, the return of the Great Sui War God, Qin Wang, made the ministers who wanted to rebel think twice.
Apart from considering whether they could rebel, they also had to consider the West Ocean army under the King of Qin's command.
Previously, it was because of the turmoil in the country and the many external threats, but the King of Qin had no intention of returning. This made some of the villains feel that the relationship between the King of Qin and the Emperor was probably broken.
Such speculations became more and more intense, thus increasing the thoughts of many ministers who wanted to rebel.
However, now that the King of Qin had returned, and he had brought back outstanding military achievements, he naturally had to think twice.
In addition, other than restraining his thoughts, he also needed to re-examine the situation in the court.
With the King of Qin's illustrious military achievements, the position of the third generation emperor was definitely the King of Qin. He was the most powerful candidate for the third generation emperor.
If he were to serve the King of Qin now, wouldn't he be able to replace the original close ministers of the royal family and become a new generation of close ministers of the royal family?
As long as they seized this opportunity, they would definitely be able to soar to the sky. This was what many of the ministers were thinking.
Whether it was Wang Shiyun or Pei Ju, they all had the same thoughts.
"Let's enter the city."
After the welcome ceremony, Yang Guang waved his long sleeves and announced.
"Enter the city!"
Pei Ju shouted, and the ministers standing on both sides opened up a path for the Emperor to enter Luoyang City.
When the King of Qin, Yang Ji, passed by, Wang Shiyun subconsciously lowered his head, appearing very respectful.
"Hang the corpse of Shibi Khagan."
After entering the city, Yang Ji first instructed.
Li Cunxiao immediately rode his horse straight to the city wall.
"This is the corpse of Shibi Khagan!"
Li Cunxiao explained as the corpse was hung up.
" Alright, Your Highness the King of Qin is mighty!"
"As expected of the Great Sui War God!"
The commoners instantly became agitated.
When he saw Luoyang City again, as well as the streets and bustling scene in Luoyang City, a strange and familiar feeling suddenly attacked Yang Ji's heart.
Luoyang, this king has returned."
Yang Ji sighed with mixed feelings.
At the same time, the people in the city all stopped. The eyes of many youths lit up as they looked at the black-armored Qin King in awe.
In addition, there were also many noble children who looked at Li Shimin with envy and jealousy.
Such popular support and prestige was clear at a glance.
