The Tartar army retreated. Under the orders of Emperor Zhou Tai, the capital army pursued. They had to take advantage of the chaos to leave more people behind to ease the pressure on the border.
"Hurry up! Follow me to see the real Marquis Champion!"
Emperor Zhou Tai was extremely excited, but he was still stopped. After all, there were many fleeing Tartar soldiers below, so it was a little dangerous.
Therefore, the Emperor could only order the Imperial City Bureau to bring Jia Huan to the audience and make sure to properly settle Jia Huan's soldiers.
"General Jia, His Majesty has summoned you. Please follow me quickly.”
"At the same time, His Majesty has decreed that your army can enter the city to rest!”
Gu Qianfan came to Jia Huan once again. Although he was exhausted, his eyes were filled with excitement and even worship.
Although he was born a scholar, he also liked martial arts, so he was skilled in both literature and martial arts.
His lifelong dream, other than to earn an imperial mandate for his mother, was to recover Liaodong!
Jia Huan had given him hope, so he admired Jia Huan.
Jia Huan nodded and said to Yang Zaixing.
"His Majesty is kind. After you enter the city, you must not spare the people!“
Following Jia Huan's order, Yang Zaixing cupped his hands and bowed.
Jia Huan then left with Gu Qianfan. Under the leadership of Yang Zaixing, 3,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry and 3,000 Beiwei Army entered the city. It must be known that there were thousands of soldiers. One could imagine the Emperor's trust in them.
At the same time, Jia Huan had already lost more than half of his soldiers.
However, it did not matter. The system had said that as long as he recruited soldiers, he could replenish them through training, and their loyalty could return to its original state.
He just needed to spend some time and resources.
"The entire army will sleep on the ground!"
After Yang Zaixing gave the order, all the soldiers dismounted and leaned against the ground on both sides of the street, falling asleep.
After a long time, the commoners finally dared to open the door. They saw the Xuanwei Army sleeping on the ground and were all in disbelief.
Although this was the Imperial City, and it was impossible for chaos to occur, they had never seen soldiers who did not spare their lives at all.
All of them sat on the ground and did not even block the door.
An old man said excitedly.
"How many years has it been since our Zhou Dynasty has seen such a King's teacher?”
Just this matter alone showed how strict Jia Huan was in managing the army.
At the same time, Jia Huan followed Gu Qianfan to the Imperial City.
"His Majesty summons! Jia Huan has made a great contribution to the world. He can wear armor and sword to see you. You don't have to bow to him.”
A eunuch's sharp voice sounded. Jia Huan stopped removing his armor and then solemnly cupped his hands towards the Imperial City.
Finally, under Gu Qian Fan's lead, Jia Huan entered the Imperial Palace and arrived outside Taiji Palace.
All the officials in the court looked at the entrance of the hall. The Emperor on the dragon throne raised his head in anticipation, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Xuan-Xuanwei General Jia Huan, please come to the palace!”
As the eunuch's voice rang out, Jia Huan walked into the hall step by step, covered in blood and clad in armor.
When they saw Jia Huan's young face, all the civil and military officials present were amazed.
"So young!"
"To think that a twelve-year-old can make such a contribution. It seems that our Great Zhou is going to produce an extraordinary figure.”
As for the four founding fathers and the other founding fathers, their eyes shone brightly.
No matter how small and invisible Jia Huan was in the past, he could no longer be ignored now. They were thinking about building a relationship with Jia Huan.
After all, they were old relatives and should be closer than others. If they could get Jia Huan's good impression, would they lack military merits in the future?
"General Jia Huan greets Your Majesty!"
Jia Huan cupped his hands and bowed. It was his honor not to bow to the king.
"Hahaha! Dear minister, please get up, quickly get up!"
Zhou Tai was a little too excited. He couldn't even speak fluently. He even coughed a few times. He wasn't in good health.
Looking at Jia Huan's heroic face, the Emperor was even more satisfied and directly said to Jia Huan.
"Your rescue of the capital this time is indeed a meritorious deed. Zhen will reward you well!”
Hearing the Emperor's words, Jia Huan could not hold it in any longer. He was already extremely weak. After seven consecutive days of traveling without sleep or rest, he could not hold on any longer.
"Your Majesty, I have a request.”
Jia Huan cupped his hands and said.
Emperor Zhou Tai looked at him curiously, only to see Jia Huan's body slowly collapse onto the ground.
"I, I will take a nap."
The moment he finished speaking, Jia Huan actually fell asleep in the main hall. Instantly, the entire court was silent.
This was Taiji Palace! The place where the Zhou Dynasty went to court, and Jia Huan actually fell asleep here?
A civil official immediately stood up and was about to loudly impeach him, but he was suddenly stopped by the Emperor's stern gaze.
Gu Qianfan said softly.
"After receiving this subject's message, Xuanwei General didn't sleep or rest for seven days straight and led his cavalry to aid the capital.”
"They used their exhausted troops to defeat the 200,000-strong Tartar army. They are really tired now.”
Gu Qianfan was alone, so he had some time to rest on the way back, but Jia Huan and the others didn't!
The Emperor nodded his head, his eyes filled with gratitude. He then walked down from the high platform gently. Under the shocked expressions of all the civil and military officials, he was actually about to take off his outer robe.
Seeing this scene, the civil and military officials 'expressions changed drastically, and Gu Qianfan's pupils constricted. Although the Emperor was showing favor, he quickly took off his coat and handed it to the Emperor to prevent Jia Huan from being slandered in the future.
The Emperor was stunned, then looked at Gu Qianfan with approval. He was protecting Jia Huan.
Then, he gently covered Jia Huan with Gu Qianfan's coat. Instantly, the eyes of all the civil and military officials present turned red with envy. If they had such favor, they would die without regrets!
the Emperor said softly.
"Follow me to the Martial Meritocrats Hall to deal with the aftermath. Then arrange for some palace maids and eunuchs to guard here.”
"Our Marquis Champion is hungry, you can add more food. If you are thirsty, you can add more water! Do you understand?"
Hearing the Emperor's order, the Head Eunuch Dai Quan hurriedly bowed in response. He looked at Jia Huan and sighed. From today onwards, the Emperor's most favored official was born.
