Chapter 160 [Triumph]
After returning from Han Yecheng, he arrived at Ligu Pass for a few days. According to the way he came, the Han family's army returned to Donghai County. He was disciplined along the way. After all, the Kuaiji County we passed through was a part of the Xiao family and the Su family. It was really difficult to explain if it caused trouble. Therefore, Han Xuanchang issued a military order, which required the generals to restrain the soldiers and follow the rules...
The soldiers were in a good mood. After returning to Donghai County, they naturally had to reward them according to their merits. This time, not only did they destroy the Ye family and remove a thorn in their eyes, but they also obtained many real things, which was not just in vain.
Han Xuanchang was in a good mood. When he left Ligu Pass, he received a letter from Feige, which came from Lantian City. The Wu family's Lantian City was also captured. The Wu family followed the Ye family's footsteps and walked towards the abyss of destruction. When Han Xuanchang was relieved, he also warned himself that this was the consequence of the demise of the aristocratic family. In his mind, he still remembered that on the night when the Ye clan was executed, thousands of heads were separated under the sword, and the heads were terrible.
Han Xuanchang knew that although the two families were eliminated, the political environment in the future would be even more dangerous. The Han family should be more careful to deal with various changes. No one could be sure whether his family would follow the footsteps of the Ye and Wu families.
Kuaiji County is the largest county government in Yan State, spanning hundreds of miles from east to west, the Su family's territory in the east, and the Xiao family's territory in the west, and Yanjing City is located at the junction of the two families, majestic and majestic. Even if it is dozens of miles away, you can see the tall and majestic Yanjing City, solemn and grand, just like a thousand-year-old giant beast crawling on the vast earth.
The Han family's army withdrew according to the route given by the Ministry of War, so it was naturally impossible to pass through Yanjing City. It was just looking at the hazy outline of Yanjing City from afar.
Han Mo was also quite shocked when he looked at Yanjing City from afar. He had never been to Yanjing City when he came, so at this moment, he only felt amazing and had to admire the courage of his old friends. In this way, the magnificent and solemn Yanjing City, which looked from afar, took a lot of manpower, material resources and intelligence to build successfully. The cultural attainments of the ancient people were really extraordinary.
"The Fifth Young Master seems to be very interested in Yanjing City!" Zhu Xiaoyan's voice came from the side, with a hint of confusion in his eyes: "You haven't entered Yanjing City, are you?"
Han Mo gave him a blank look and curled his lips, "Is that a good place?"
To be ashamed, he has never been to Yanjing City.
Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t want to go, but the Han family has always been rigorous and careful, and disciplines the children of the clan relatively strictly. What’s more, Han Mo is a direct child of the Han family, so in order to protect Han Mo’s safety, the clan does not allow him to enter Beijing without authorization. This is true. Now that the eighteen spring and autumn have passed, Han Mo has never set foot on the land of Yanjing City.
Zhu Xiaoyan said lightly: "There are blood, conspiracies, betrayals, lust, desires, killings, and cruelty, but there are also the most beautiful women, the strongest wine, the elegance of dancing, the most luxurious palace, the most precious jewelry, the most moving singing voice...!" He did not continue to say it, as if touching some thoughts, and his face was indifferent.
Han Qing, who was following Han Mo, said, "Young Master, you have made great contributions this time. Are you about to come to Beijing to become an official?" He also looked at the Yanjing City in the distance, his eyes full of longing.
Only when you see Yanjing City can you feel the insignificance of Donghai City.
Han Mo glanced at Han Qing and asked, "Do you like going to Beijing?"
Han Qing shrank his head, smiled and said, "I will go wherever my master goes."
Han Mo said calmly: "Full with the situation!"
Because the Han family army carried a large amount of money and property, the road was not fast, and the road designated by the Ministry of War was not easy to walk. In addition, the snow in the cold winter made it last for about 200 miles a day. It only took three days to pass through Kuaiji County and enter the territory of Donghai County.
The officials and people along the way were all in great fanfare, welcoming their triumphant return soldiers, singing along the way, which was extremely lively, and it was also a joy for the military and civilians.
The army went to Panhukou, Luozong County to set up camp. There were special envoys sent by the Ministry of War here had been waiting. According to the people, it was to "enter the weapons into the warehouse, the armor was still in the court, and they were alone and returned to their hometown!"
The soldiers of the entire battalion took off their armor, handed over their weapons, and then received rewards based on military merits. Naturally, the victims of the battle were not allowed to provide pensions, and everything was in order.
After receiving the reward for three consecutive days, the property plundered from Hanye City was distributed as usual. The Ye family's wealth was in great power, and Hanye City was also extremely prosperous. Although they shared the rewards in a large amount, there were still more gold, silver and wealth.
As for the horses obtained from Bozhou County, there were five or six hundred good horses obtained from Ye Mansion. In addition to selecting twenty good horses to take them back to Donghai City, there was also Teng Shuangbai. He brought them back to Han Yuan, and all the other horses were handed over to Zhu Xiaoyan and Fengqi to bring them back to the horse farm. Fengqi was the great minister of this time. Han Xuanchang naturally ordered Han Mo to give a great reward, and each Fengqi knight had a lot of money. As for the Fengqi knight who died in battle, Han Mo even ordered Zhu Xiaoyan to give him pensions without counting the number.
When the Ministry of War sent troops to Beijing with armor and equipment, the soldiers of the Han family army also went home to reunite with the elderly and young people at home. After the war, being able to come back alive to reunite with the family is undoubtedly the happiest thing for the soldiers to come.
On the fifth day, nearly 20,000 Han family troops had already returned home, and Zhu Xiaoyan had already brought the Fengqi back to the horse farm. Han Xuanchang and his son brought less than a hundred of their personal generals back to Donghai City.
It was dusk and the wind was bleak. As it approached Donghai City, I saw a large group of people outside the city. At the front were the two sect leaders of the Han family, followed by the elders of the clan and relatives of the family, Han Qin, Mrs. Han, Aunt Bi, Han Qin, Han Bo and other sizes in the mansion, all waiting quietly.
Han Xuanchang turned over and dismounted, led Han Qing forward and bowed, and said respectfully: "Fortunately Xuanchang did not humiliate his fate!"
The sect leader stepped forward and helped Han Xuanchang up and smiled and said, "Xuanchang, I have seen all the letters you sent by Fei Ge. You handled them well and did not disappoint my thoughts." He looked at Han Mo and smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, get up, your father said in the letter that you have made great contributions this time. It seems that Grandpa is going to give you some things."
Han Mo giggled, "Grandpa, after leaving Donghai County, I have never had a sumptuous meal. Just give me a big meal!"
The sect leader smiled and said, "Don't worry, Bazhen Pavilion has been booked, and I'll go to Bazhen Pavilion to have fun today!"
Han Mo stepped forward and bowed to the second sect leader. Seeing that he was so old, he was still waiting in the cold wind, he was grateful and took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from his arms, served it with both hands, and said softly: "Grandpa, this is the spoil of grandson. I heard it is a fairy wine that prolongs life. Grandpa is here to honor you!"
This was not a fairy wine, but he got it from the cloth bag he snatched from Yuan Daoling that day. He knew it was a good thing to replenish qi and nourish the essence, so he came out with filial piety.
The second sect leader took it with a smile, stuffed it into his arms, and said, "I'm still thinking about how I should punish you if you forget to bring me a gift!"
Han Qin was already shouting: "Brother, where is my gift?"
Han Mo smiled, pointed back at the car containing the property, and said, "Those are all brother's spoils. Just go back and choose." After seeing Han Qinshi, Aunt Bi, Han Bo and others, they arrived in front of Mrs. Han and shouted sweetly, "Mom!"
When Mrs. Han saw that Han Mo's face was blowing with cold wind, she broke into small holes. She looked so tired that she felt so sad that she tidied up his clothes and said softly: "It's good to come back!"
Since the East China Sea, Mrs. Han, Aunt Bi and others were worried day and night. The father and son were on the front line. No one could guarantee an accident. They prayed day and night that their father and son could return safely. Now Han Xuanchang and Han Mo have returned without any harm, and the stone in everyone's hearts has finally landed.
Seeing the comforting look of his family's heart, Han Mo knew that perhaps countless families were crying at this time, and the thousands of soldiers who died on the battlefield were heartbroken at this time.
After entering the city, the streets were filled with residents, and everyone cheered and beat drums to welcome their heroes.
Han Xuanchang rode on the horse and waved to the people on both sides of the road. He knew that every victory would increase the confidence of the people of the East China Sea in the Han family and would also make the people of the East China Sea united around the Han family.
The Han family must not be like the Ye family, regardless of the people's hearts, and then the people will be betrayed.
Han Mo followed his father and felt the cheers of the people. In the crowd, he clearly saw Guan Shaohe's figure and waved his hand.
That night, the Han family members and the important Han family generals who fought this time were all celebrated in Bazhen Pavilion. The women naturally had women's private rooms, while the men were drunk.
The two sect leaders and Han Xuanchang and his son were naturally not in the lobby, but were talking to each other between the tribes.
"Xuanchang, you did it right to share the credit for the Xiao family this time." The sect leader said calmly: "This will be beneficial to both families. If you insist on fighting with the Xiao family, the other families will benefit from it, and our Han family may not be able to get any benefits. But since you have divided the credit with the Xiao family, it means that this gift belongs to our two families, and the biggest meat must be eaten by our two families. Although we cannot be swallowed in whole pieces, there is always a portion of our Han family!"
Han Mo couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, what benefits will we get?"
The sect leader stroked his beard and said, "The Ye and Wu families will go there, and the six departments will be vacant. The Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites will be vacant. Our Han family has such great achievements, and these two positions will always occupy a place. No matter which position, it will be of great benefit to the growth of our Han family's strength."
Previously, the Ye family occupied one minister of the Ministry of Works and the Wu family occupied one minister of the Ministry of Rites. Now that the two families are being suppressed, these two positions are vacant.
In addition to the cabinet, Yan State followed the six ministries system of the Qi Dynasty. Although the country's policy formulation was in the cabinet, it operated in the six ministries. In other words, the six ministries of the military, engineering, officials, rituals, households, and punishments were the six main components of the Yan State's court, maintaining the operation of the huge state machine of Yan State.
Han Xuanchang said: "The Ministry of Industry is in charge of various projects, craftsmen, military farming, water conservancy, transportation and other government orders. If it is obtained from our Han family, it will always benefit in land and engineering. The greatest benefit of the Ministry of Rites is to be responsible for the Beijing test and to acquire useful talents from it for my use, which is also of great benefit."
The sect leader took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Han Xuanchang, and said softly: "This is the letter I wrote to Xuan Dao, please take a look!"
