In three days, Zhang Xiu arrived in a hurry.
Chang'an City is ten miles away to the east.
Almost all Chang'an officials were at Shiliting to welcome Zhang Xiu's arrival. There were crowds of people around Shiliting and flags were flying.
Not long after, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard in front, and the ground began to shake. Everyone stretched their necks and looked forward. Standing at the front were Jia Xu, Liu Ye, and Li Ru.
The three of them are now regarded as the default leaders of the hundred officials. If Zhang Xiu wins the throne, they may all be expected to become prime ministers of the DPRK and have a noble status.
Standing at the front, the three of them waited respectfully. After feeling the vibration on the ground, the three of them looked at the road ahead. Not long after, the vanguard troops appeared in their sights.
It was the vanguard force led by Gan Ning.
Gan Ning galloped over and dismounted in front of Jia Xu and others. He clasped his fists and bowed respectfully and said, "Three military advisors, my lord is still three miles away from here."
"Thank you for your hard work, General Gan." Jia Xu and others returned the greeting.
Everyone exchanged a few words.
At this time, a large number of people began to appear. Zhang Xiu's personal cavalry and soldiers from the Tenglong Cavalry Battalion flew past both sides of Shiliting, forming two long walls of people to protect them.
Zhang Xiu rode a green horse, wearing black armor, and came slowly. When he saw Jia Xu and others from a distance, he clamped the horse's belly and quickly came to them.
"I'll wait to see my lord!"
Seeing Zhang Xiu coming, Jia Xu led all the officials to kneel down to greet him.
"Ah, gentlemen, you don't need to be polite, please get up quickly!" Zhang Xiu got off his horse, helped Jia Xu, Liu Ye, and Li Ru who were standing in the front, and then said humbly to the people behind him.
"Thank you, Lord!"
After Jia Xu stood up, his face was full of smiles, "In this battle, our army attacked the Xiongnu in the north, reached Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the east, and retreated to Han Sui in the west. It can be said that we single-handedly challenged the four armies. After this battle, our army will If you are powerful, you will definitely be famous all over the world.”
Others echoed.
The impact of this battle was huge, and it was extremely important to Zhang Xiu. After this battle, other princes in the world did not dare to provoke him easily, and they had enough time and space to develop their own strength. After cannibalizing Xiliang, you can develop eastward.
But it is impossible to know if it will actually develop as they expected.
Zhang Xiu had a joyful smile on his face. Not only had he won a key battle, but he also had a son. It was a double blessing, and unconcealable joy overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
"We'll discuss other things later. Let's go to the city first. I didn't come all this way just to see you old guys. I have to go hug my son first." When he said that, he laughed.
Everyone also laughed.
When Li Ru smiled, he glanced at Jia Xu and Liu Ye proudly, which meant: 'How about it, I've made it right! '
Jia Xu and Liu Ye knew he was proud, so they pretended not to see him.
Surrounded by everyone, Zhang Xiu entered Chang'an City and headed towards the general's mansion.
With Zhang Xiu's return to Chang'an, the battle that lasted for nearly two months since the beginning of this spring has finally come to an end.
Cao Cao spent 40,000 troops in vain, achieved nothing, and returned defeated.
Yuan Shao was blocked by Manhan Mountain and failed to complete his planned attack on Hetao, so he failed and returned.
Han Sui was chased to Dingxi by Wei Yan, Ma Chao, Lebat and others, and returned in embarrassment. He suffered heavy losses and was unable to fight again in a short period of time.
…
Return to the backyard.
Trainer Bu came out with his female family members to greet him. Zhang Xiu took off his armor as he walked. Hu Cheer, who was following him, took the armor and handed it to the soldiers to display. Arriving at the door of the backyard, Hu Cheer stood on one side of the door very obediently, guarding the safety.
Zhang Xiu stepped in and couldn't wait to go in. He happened to meet Trainer Bu coming out. Before Trainer Bu could finish the blessing ceremony, he was hugged by a pair of strong hands. Trainer Bu's face brushed to the ground. He turned red and said angrily: "Dad, the sisters are all here, be careful."
Others also blushed.
Zhang Xiu kissed her hard on her delicate face, then looked at Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao and others, and said with a smile: "Let me see who dares to laugh. Whoever laughs, I will 'take care of' her first tonight."
As a result, everyone laughed.
Liu Rui came over and said, "Master Hou, let's go see Sister Yueying first. She just gave birth and is still very weak."
Zhang Xiu put down the step trainer and walked quickly towards Huang Yueying's room.
Huang Yueying was lying on the couch, her pale face a little rosy, and she was recovering well. When she saw Zhang Xiu coming in, she was happy and excited, and was about to get up. Zhang Xiu rushed to the couch in three steps and held her down. Lying down peacefully, he said softly: "You are now the hero of my Zhang family. Lie down and rest well. I will take care of you during this time."
Huang Yueying and the female family members behind were shocked, and immediately said: "How can Master Hou do this? Being by your side is already our blessing, how dare we ask for it? How can we bear your service?"
In ancient times, men were superior to women, and there was never an example of a man serving a woman. What's more, Zhang Xiu's status was noble and he was above ten thousand people. How dare you let him serve you?
But Zhang Xiu has the idea of equality between men and women in later generations, and is not bound by feudal ideas. He said with a straight face: "My wife has to be cared for by me. What's wrong with that? Today it is Yueying, and tomorrow it will be you the day after tomorrow. As long as she is my wife, I will take good care of her with all my heart, and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority."
Everyone was moved to tears.
Cai Yan, who was standing at the back, also had red eyes.
Next to Huang Yueying, a white and tender baby licked its lips, closed its eyes and fell asleep very cutely, with a pair of white and tender little hands grabbing the clothes and quilt randomly, sleeping soundly.
Looking at the baby, Zhang Xiu felt a sense of intimacy for no reason. The unexplained intimacy of blood made him so happy that he wished he could hold him in his arms and kiss him enough.
"Is this what it's like to be a father?"
In her previous life, Zhang Xiu was unmarried and had never experienced the feeling of being a father. She didn't expect to travel through time and become a father. She was so excited that she couldn't express it in words.
Her first child is a son, and Huang Yueying is very up to date.
Zhang Xiu stood next to his son, with nowhere to put his hands. He wanted to hug him but was afraid of waking him up, and also wanted to kiss his delicate face. Just as he was making arrangements, Mrs. Zou walked in and saw Zhang Xiu's appearance. , Yan Ran smiled and said: "What are you doing? You just came back from outside and ran to the delivery room. Yueying still needs to rest now. Why are you anxious? You can hold her in one month. The baby is so young now, can you hold it?" "
Zhang Xiu touched his nose awkwardly and said with a smile: "That's true, Yueying, have a good rest. I'll come to see you again in the evening. Let's all go out!" With that, he took the hands of Trainer Bu and Liu Rui. Went out.
Now Liu Rui's belly has gradually grown bigger, while Xiao Qiao's has not yet bulged. Both of them have dedicated maids to take care of them.
Huang Yueying's face turned red when Zhang Xiu said she would come over in the evening. Zou smiled and scolded with a half-red face: "Nonsense, Yueying's body hasn't recovered yet. What are you doing here at night? If you have the time, do more good things."
Zhang Xiu smiled and went out.
