Japan, one month later.
Xu Yunyan and Li Chengqian once again summoned many generals in Japan to start arranging tasks.
"His Majesty has decreed that we should be invited back to the capital. Then we will return. Generals, I would like you to stay here for a while."
Xu Yunyan looked at the dark and thin Xue Li and Qin Huaiyu who were driven out of the mine, as well as the other noble children and said this.
Except for Xue Li and Qin Huaiyu who nodded, everyone else looked at Xu Yunyan and Li Chengqian as if they wanted to go back. We wanted to follow the general. The Japanese country had been pacified and it was useless for us to stay here.
Regarding this scene, Xu Yunyan and Li Chengqian showed their hands.
"There is nothing we can do about it. His Majesty only issued a decree to let us go back without you asking for it? What will happen to the army if you leave?"
But just as the two of them were talking like this, a messenger ran into the camp in a panic.
"Report...report to the general!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw the Navy Messenger who was panting so violently, and the large beads of sweat on his head kept flowing down his forehead, forming a continuous stream of water on his chin.
"What's going on? Is it possible that there are Japanese people like Turks who are hostile to our Tang army?"
Cheng Chumo suddenly asked, and Li Chengcheng was also talking unhappily.
"Although he didn't let me go back."
But he just said something and before he continued, Xu Yunyan looked at him and said fiercely.
"You have to come back with me."
Li Chengcheng wanted to say something more, but looking at Xu Yunyan's appearance, she wanted to say that she would definitely eat him to make him look good, and she lowered her head helplessly.
"I know, I'll follow you back."
After Li Chengcheng finished speaking, he admitted that he was timid, and Li Chengqian looked at the messenger and asked.
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly, the sky will not fall.
With us stationed here, even if the Japanese country takes on the responsibility of confronting us again, it will only be a battle. "
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, the messenger shook his head.
"My lords, this is not the case."
"oh?"
This moment made everyone stunned.
"If this is not the case, then which case is it?"
All the famous Japanese city lords have been dealt with by Xu Yunyan, and it is expected that they will not have much courage to gather again to fight against the Tang army.
However, looking at the appearance of the messenger, just when Xu Yunyan and Monk Zhanger were scratching their heads, Cheng Chumo was still impatient and asked what he wanted to ask.
"If you have anything to do, hurry up and tell me! Could it be that there's another volcano erupting somewhere or the ground is shaking?"
Changsun Chong took out another fan from nowhere, but this fan was even more coquettish. The fan bones were made of gold and the fan surface was silver. The dozens of fans fanned the wind, and his coquettish appearance was unmistakable.
Moreover, this fan also had four golden characters written on it, General Chang Sun, which made everyone look speechless.
Changsun Chong was happy with the strange looks from everyone. He walked forward slowly, as if he was strategizing to defeat Zhang Liang who was thousands of miles away.
"Tell me, what's going on? Ask me to give you some advice. I can't believe that I can wipe out these little guys with just one idea."
Changsun Chong looked like he wanted to be beaten. He showed off his abilities here and asked the messenger in front of him to tell him what he did wrong or what important situation he discovered.
Just when Changsun Chong was feeling complacent here, and everyone was about to get tired of Changsun Chong's appearance and stepped forward to repair him, the messenger came here.
"It's not what the generals thought, but the new troops arranged by the imperial court to change defenses have arrived."
"Oh?" Xu Yunyan and the others were shocked at this moment.
The new defense-changing army, what does this mean?
"Who will lead this new defense army?"
"Led by General Qin Qiong, Duke of Hu State!"
This was something that no one expected.
"I didn't expect Uncle Qin to come."
After Li Chengqian said something, he looked at Xu Yunyan.
"Master, we should go and greet him."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. We should indeed go and greet him."
Everyone hurriedly followed Li Chengqian and Xu Yunyan out and arrived outside the camp. A magnificent Tang army was already standing outside the camp.
Not far from the camp, those Japanese people who were making a living around the camp, delivering supplies to the military camp or exchanging some things and earning a little difference, so that they could have enough food and clothing, saw another magnificent and better-equipped army. , Tang Jun, who also had war horses, couldn't help but be proud of how beneficial it was to be a Tang person.
As Qin Qiong walked along, he couldn't help but feel proud of being a general of the Tang Army as he watched the Japanese people complimenting and congratulating them in Chinese.
After Li Chengqian came out with a group of generals, he hurriedly saluted Qin Qiong.
"???????????????Cheng Qian has met General Qin."
"The last general has met General Qin."
"I've met Uncle Qin."
"I have met Duke Hu."
"Father."
As these people finished saluting, Qin Qiong hurriedly got off the horse.
"How can the veteran He De be called His Highness the Crown Prince like this? It is the last general's fault that His Highness the Crown Prince condescends to come to greet me."
Qin Qiong spoke very politely and acted appropriately. Li Shimin must have thought carefully about asking him to come to Japan to change defenses and become the second defending general, right?
However, Qin Qiong and Li Chengqian were polite here, but Xu Yunyan waved his hand.
"General Qin must be tired from traveling and traveling here. Please come to the camp and rest."
As Xu Yunyan changed the topic here, he asked Qin Qiong to go to the camp and stop standing there with the army, but Qin Qiong shook his head.
"No hurry, there is one more thing."
Qin Qiong just finished speaking and looked at Qin Qiong very curiously. Is there anything that cannot be said in the camp?
In an instant, Qin Qiong took out a bright yellow scroll from his arms, surprising everyone.
"The imperial edict has arrived! The prince, the champion prince and the naval generals have received the edict."
Following Qin Qiong's words. Li Chengqian and Xu Yunyan hurriedly made movements to receive the order, and the group of second-generation officials behind them also followed Li Chengqian.
Although they were not naval generals, they came with Li Chengqian, and Xu Yunyan also assigned some troops to them. Due to circumstances and reasons, the naval general could also include them.
Even if they can't transform into it, their identities can't escape here and accompany Li Chengqian to receive the order.
Qin Qiong saw all the generals getting ready and then said here.
"It is destined to be blessed by heaven, the emperor decreed..."
There was another series of explanations, but everyone heard it clearly this time, and asked the group of generals in front of them to go back with Xu Yunyan and Li Chengqian. Moreover, this time's military exploits made this group of generals who did not have many general titles in the first place, just because of their status. People who are called generals or little generals are also called generals.
Even though he was only a fifth-grade general, for them, it made them smile.
After Qin Qiong finished talking about what kind of bandits this group was, and when the generals cheered there with eagle strikes or long water shooting, Li Chengqian was stunned.
"Have your father forgotten my master? My master is a champion. How come there is no reward for leading us to conquer the Japanese kingdom?"
Why didn't Xue Li and Qin Huaiyu receive any rewards? "
Li Chengqian was confused here, but Qin Qiong said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Xue Li and Qin Huaiyu were also made generals by Your Majesty, and they are fourth-rank generals.
This is another decree. I want to read it to them personally. Because of their merits, His Majesty gave them a separate decree.
As for the champion, he has to go back and his Majesty will personally award the reward. I can't do it for you. "
Li Chengqian was very happy at this moment and nodded here.
"It's so good. What they have paid for me, Datang, is that they cannot be allowed to pay in vain."
But as soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, he looked at Qin Qiong again.
"Uncle Qin, do you know what kind of generals Xue Li and Huaiyu brothers are awarded, and what rewards their subordinates are given?
I once said that they have paid so much for me, Datang, and I will reward them well. "
Li Chengqian's appearance made Qin Qiong very happy.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. His Majesty has already arranged these matters. The two of them have become fourth-grade loyal generals like the champion before."
Xu Yunyan was happy all of a sudden.
"I didn't expect that the two of them would have a good opportunity. We must supervise them carefully and don't make them proud.
If they become proud, I will not care about General Qin's face and will repair them both severely. "
Qin Qiong was not unhappy because Xu Yunyan said that he should teach his son a lesson, but instead said it here.
"Marquis Champion, then we have an agreement. At this age, I don't know how long I can live. I, the heir, will have to take care of Marquis Champion."
Qin Qiong touched his beard as he spoke, laughing like a late hero, while Xu Yunyan's heart skipped a beat.
"General Qin, you are joking. You, a general who has made great achievements in the war for the country, have not yet enjoyed the benefits brought by the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of the people. How can you say such a thing?
You will definitely live a long life. Let's watch these people grow up to replace me. Isn't this a beautiful thing? "
"Stop talking about this."
Qin Qiong knew that if he continued to speak, it would be a bit uncomfortable, so he immediately said, "Although the positions of many soldiers have not changed, your majesty has given them a lot of honors and rewards."
Everyone was happy about this, and everyone couldn't help but feel proud. As soon as they brought Qin Qiong into the camp and prepared to celebrate, Qin Qiong said to Xu Yunyan and Li Chengqian there.
】
"His Royal Highness, Prince Champion, after we hand over the situation, you two should return to the Tang Dynasty urgently. There are many good things waiting for you in the Tang Dynasty."
"What do you mean by this?"
What Qin Qiong said made Xu Yunyan and Li Chengqian a little confused and didn't know what was going on. However, they didn't think much about Qin Qiong as they walked forward. Instead, they followed closely into the camp.
The next step is to catch up with the wind and wash away the dust. They must be able to get what they want.
The group of young generals who followed everyone into the camp were laughing and joking here, especially Chang Sun Chong and Li Chengcheng, two people who were originally considered to be more scholars than generals. After they were called generals, they were even more arrogant.
The two of them put their hands on their hips and laughed.
"I didn't expect that I would become a general today! Come and compliment me."
The two of them looked like I am very powerful and I am stronger than you. They were itching to see the group of soldiers and generals next to them who originally had more military blood than literati blood.
Those soldiers? They don't dare to move, but don't these generals still dare to move?
In an instant, everyone rushed forward, and soon some wailing sounds came from behind Xu Yunyan and Li Chengqian.
"Don't slap me in the face, we are all generals, how can we act so recklessly?"
