Originally, Liu Deng planned to rest in Suiyang City for a few days before setting off for Beijing. However, seeing Zhou Yafu's stubborn attitude, Liu Deng decisively chose to lead his meritorious soldiers to Beijing in advance on the morning of the third day.
In the past few days, Liu Deng also received news that the emperor was already preparing for him.
Let him go to Beijing in advance and then discuss his marriage. Arrangements have now been made with the empress of the country, who will be escorted by the army of Daiguo and go all the way from Jinyang to Chang'an.
"Your Majesty, why are we in such a hurry?"
Su Jian was a little puzzled. King Liang was holding back and didn't want to see Zhou Yafu, but Zhou Yafu insisted on waiting at the gate of the palace.
What does their stubbornness have to do with Liu Deng?
"You don't know something about this. If I am not in Suiyang City, of course it has nothing to do with me. But if I am in Suiyang City, what if that Leng Zhong dies there? How should I explain this to His Majesty?"
Liu Deng just said casually and lost interest in talking.
Of course, there is actually a deeper reason that Liu Deng did not mention.
In the original history, the entire Liang army suffered numerous casualties, and Liang's strength had completely declined to the extreme. Zhou Yafu naturally did not need to worry about the reaction of the Liang King.
But things are different now. Although Liang Jun experienced more than half of the casualties in the battle, the results of Liang Wang's battle were equally brilliant.
What's more, more than half of the seizures in this war were collected by the King of Liang first.
Although Liang Guoguo's army suffered heavy casualties, with these captured items, I'm afraid it won't take long for a brand new iron army to stand up again soon!
Now that the six kingdoms have been destroyed, King Liang's hard work has made great achievements, and Liang has strong soldiers and horses.
If King Liang refused to take the credit for this time and insisted on holding Zhou Yafu accountable, even the emperor might have to make concessions.
The Zhou family has gone through several major changes, and finally had a chance to make a comeback. How could Zhou Yafu let go of such a good opportunity?
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Seeing that Liu Deng had lost interest in talking, Su Jian of course did not continue to ask any more questions. After all, as a subordinate, he had to be more or less self-aware.
Anyway, no matter what, they won a great victory this time. When they return to Chang'an at this time, they will definitely be entertained with good wine and meat.
Even if there was any bad blood between the emperor and Liu Deng, it would not affect these little pawns.
Not only Su Jian, but also the thousands of soldiers in the entire team were all in high spirits.
These are all the men who have made contributions in this war. When marching along the way, everyone is smiling.
The atmosphere in the entire queue was really relaxed. People say that when the spring breeze brings joy, horses' hoofs will break down, which is probably what they are talking about at this time.
Luan Bu also followed Liu Deng happily. Thanks to Liu Deng, he had made great achievements this time.
Not to mention anything else, just by capturing Liu Xun, at least the position of Guannei Throat will not be able to escape.
After waiting for so many years, he finally joined the ranks of the Marquis, which made him extremely excited.
After all, the generals who were at the same time as him had already entered the ranks of marquises. For a long time, he was embarrassed to say hello to others when he went out.
Now, I can finally feel proud.
More importantly, the cavalry under his command also benefited a lot from following him.
Just the equipment they were wearing was enough to make them overjoyed. A good suit of armor could greatly increase their chances of survival on the battlefield.
To put it bluntly, if they faced the same number of Qiang cavalry again now, it would definitely be a crushing victory.
On the way from Liang to Chang'an, even though they were all cavalry, it still took them seven days to reach Chang'an City.
Different from every time before, this time Liu Deng came back victorious.
And this time, we can turn the tide and help the building from falling!
There were still thirty miles away from Chang'an City, and Liu Deng had already seen the bustling crowd.
"Replying to your Majesty, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is leading hundreds of officials on behalf of His Majesty, and is waiting in front of the official reception pavilion to welcome you!"
Liu Deng was stunned when he heard the news. Did he not expect that his current salary is so high?
I had risked my life to beat the Huns until they pissed their ass off before, but I had never enjoyed this kind of treatment.
Now, just to calm down the chaos, I can enjoy the welcome of all officials...
It seems that this matter has nothing to do with the bad habit of being aloof. Even the emperor is not immune to it.
"Soldiers, have you heard this?"
The scout's voice was loud, and the soldiers near Liu Deng naturally heard these words clearly.
Seeing those people preparing to move, Liu Deng simply stepped onto the big rock next to him and shouted loudly.
"heard it!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leads hundreds of officials to greet you. You are the face of our army! Speed up and march with force!"
"promise!"
Liu Deng gave the order, and immediately, the soldiers of Dai Kingdom seemed to have been given a shot of blood, arranging their armor as they hurried on.
It must be said that after these consecutive battles, the riding skills of all soldiers have made long-term progress.
Of course, this does have a lot to do with the new saddle promoted by Liu Deng.
The entire team was made up of cavalry, and the twenty-mile journey only took less than half an hour.
"I'm coming!"
In the distance, he heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves, and Wang Deyi immediately shouted in surprise.
Although the emperor's health was much better, he was naturally unable to go out to meet Liu Deng in person, so he was asked to take Yu Hu and accompany the Crown Prince to meet Liu Deng outside the city.
"Your Majesty, on behalf of King Liu Deng, please see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
No matter what, rules still have to be followed. After seeing His Royal Highness, Liu Deng quickly got off his horse and said with his hands.
"Good boy! Although in terms of love, your boy is my nephew, and it is reasonable for me to accept a gift from you. However, I cannot accept this gift today! Not only can I not accept your gift, I also have to accept it on my behalf. Father, I salute you! The soldiers behind you! And the heroic spirits who sacrificed their lives for the country!"
As Liu Qi spoke, he stepped forward, straightened his clothes, and bowed seriously to Liu Deng!
"His Royal Highness, you have worked hard to fight for the country!"
Shen Tujia also followed Liu Qi and saluted Liu Deng together with the officials behind him.
"My lords, please get up quickly! Aren't you Zhesha boys?"
Liu Deng also hurriedly stepped forward and returned the gift.
