Chapter 34: A Triumphant Return

Three days later, Li Huiyi was basking in the sun in the backyard of the government with Juan Nizi.

Chen Gong shouted from afar, "Lord, Zhang He, they are back"!

Li Huiyi hurriedly got up and said, "Come there"?

"Just now, Zhang He sent a messenger to spread the word that it is less than 20 miles away from Xiangping"!

"Haha, okay, we'll go meet right away. Juanniko, you have a good rest at home, I'll be back right away"! After Li Huiyi finished speaking, he followed Chen Gong to greet Zhang He and others.

Li Huiyi walked to the city gate and said to Chen Gong, "Sir sent someone to inform the people in the city that I want to celebrate with the people."

Chen Gong recruited soldiers to go to the whole city to tell each other, and the people gathered at the city gate for a while.

A quarter of an hour later, there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves in the distance of the city gate, and Zhang He, Gao Shun and others led the trapped camp to gallop with one person and three horses.

Gao Shun, Guan Hai, Zhang He and others came to the city gate and knelt down and bowed and said, "We will not disgrace the mission of the lord, break Wuhuan in Liucheng, and now lead the trapped camp back to restore my life, this is the military merit of this campaign, please check it out"!

Li Huiyi stepped forward to take the military merit book and handed it to Chen Gong and said, "The generals have worked hard, hurry up, you have made great contributions to the great victory of this expedition, and I will send you to Luoyang in the coming day to give you a promotion and knighthood."

Gao Shun, Guan Hai, and Zhang He replied, "This is a soldier's life, and we dare not be greedy for merit."

Li Huiyi said, "Okay, everyone on this expedition will reward ten acres of fertile land."

The trapped soldiers shouted, "Thank you, my lord, we will fight to the death."

Li Huiyi waved his hand and said, "Okay, the soldiers have entered the city, and the people have been waiting for everyone for a long time."

The people of the city welcomed them, and a woman asked, "Do you see our son?"

The man said, "What's the old woman's name, I'm not looking at it!" I saw it, I saw it, you see that the one riding the big horse in the middle is our family Lang'er."

The woman said, "Here, let me see!"

The man pulled his daughter-in-law and pointed and said, "Well, do you see it?"

"I saw it, I saw it, or my son has the ability, not like you, who is not promising"! The woman said happily wiping tears from her eyes.

The people next to him were all envious, and they all wanted their families to serve the country in the army.

In the evening, Li Huiyi held a celebration banquet for Gao Shun and others, and Li Huiyi said, "Everyone has worked hard, everyone has a good drink today."

Guan Hai took the lead and said, "Okay, since the lord has spoken, I have to drink a good drink today." After speaking, I went to find Gao Shun to fight for wine.

At this time, Zhang He came over with a wine bowl and said, "Lord, I would like to give you a glass", and drank it all after speaking.

Li Huiyi said, "Okay, how can I fall behind if I am so arrogant." After speaking, he drank it all.

At this time, Gao Shun was entangled by Guan Hai and had no choice, because this guy drank with the altar, Gao Shun came back from the expedition, and originally wanted to save his strength and keep warm with his daughter-in-law at night, Guan Hai was afraid on the spot.

I just saw Zhang He toasting Li Huiyi, so he patted his ass and said, "General Guan, this expedition, General Guan is unparalleled in the world, why did the toast really fall into disadvantage!"

Guan Hai didn't know what to do, so he said angrily, "I'm in a bad place, if you don't explain it today, I'll drink ten jars with you!"

Gao Shun rubbed Han and said, "You see that the lord celebrates us, and the first glass of wine is given to the emperor, and you say that what I said is reasonable, general!"

Guan Hai said stupidly, "It seems to make some sense, okay, I'll go to the lord first, I'm looking for a fool, and you won't be able to run away in the end."

After speaking, he took the jar and went to Li Huiyi and said, "Thank you for bringing me to Xiangping from Youzhou, I can have such an achievement, the lord is like my reborn parents, Guan Hai respects you an altar."

Li Huiyi said in a daze, "General Guan, other people's toasts are all cups, why don't you return a jar!"

Guan Hai replied, "How can a cup show my respect and gratitude to the lord, one altar is not enough, I want to honor the lord ten altars, not a hundred, anyway, I want to get drunk with the lord tonight."

Li Huiyi said fearfully, "Don't, don't, don't, I can understand the general's mood, let's do a jar, you see that you will have to drink with Zhang He and them later!" You said yes, right"?

Guan Hai thought for a while and said, "It's still reasonable for the lord to say, and I will do it first as a respect." After saying that, he picked up the wine jar and drank wildly.

Li Huiyi looked helplessly and drank a jar, and that night's wine banquet became Guan Hai looking for someone to fight wine everywhere.

At noon the next day, Li Huiyi woke up from wine, got up and washed up, and was ready to eat, when the guard at the door reported that Chen Gong had arrived.

Li Huiyi welcomed Chen Gong to the guest room and said, "What is Mr. looking for me?"

Chen Gong said with a happy face, "In this battle of Wuhuan, 20,000 war horses, countless gold, silver and jewelry were captured, and there were more than 100,000 Wuhuan people in Liucheng."

Li Huiyi said, "It all depends on the lives of the soldiers to have such a victory, but our army also suffered heavy casualties!"

Chen Gong replied, "Yes, our army suffered more than 23,500 casualties in this battle, not counting the common people!"

"I didn't expect so many casualties in our army, so how many troops do we have at the moment"? Li Huiyi asked.

Chen Gong replied, "At present, there are 8,000 recruits in the Xiangping military camp, 321 soldiers brought back by Gao Shun to the trapped camp, and 5,000 soldiers stationed in Liucheng, adding up to about 13,000."

Li Huiyi said, "There are too few soldiers, I want to recruit 30,000 soldiers from Liucheng, let them bring their own war horses, and form a cavalry army, what does Mr. think?"

After thinking about it, Chen Gong replied, "The Wuhuan people have horses in every family, it shouldn't be a problem, but there is no one to train."

Li Huiyi replied, "Let Gao Shun train on his behalf for the time being, and then elect officers in the barracks by means of martial arts, do you think this method is feasible?"

Chen Gong said, "At present, it can only be like this, thousands of troops are easy to get, and one will be difficult to find"!

"Yes, Liaodong was originally sparsely populated, and there were even fewer leaders of the army, so I think I should go to Luoyang as soon as possible to ask for merit in order to increase my reputation. The Zhaoxian Pavilion should also change places, I see that the palace was good before, so put the Zhaoxian Pavilion there"!

Chen Gong said, "It's so good, I don't know if the lord has anyone to go to Luoyang"?

Li Huiyi replied, "Just let Li Quan go, how does Mr. feel"!

Chen Gong said, "Since this is the case, then I will write a note when I go back now."

"Okay, Mr. Hard, why don't you have lunch together?" Li Huiyi asked.

Chen Gong said with a smile, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, it just so happens that I haven't eaten today, so I won't be polite to the lord."

After lunch, Li Huiyi summoned Li Quan and said, "Li Quan, there is something you need to do."

Li Quan replied, "Please let the lord command."

"Okay, this expedition to Wuhuan returned triumphantly, and now I need one person to go to Luoyang to watch the Son of Heaven, and I am ready to let you go."

Li Quan said, "Thank you, my lord, I promise to complete the task."

"Okay, this time you go to Luoyang, and the treasury money is at your disposal. Remember to publicize this battle along the way, so that the people of the world will know about it. There are also more recruits of Sky Eye personnel and let them lurk in place. The most important point is that before leaving, go to the treasury to pack ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry and bring them to Luoyang to hand over to Zhang Rang, the tenth permanent attendant, and hand over this letter to Zhang Rang himself, remember that this letter must not be known to others. Is it clear that there is"? After Li Huiyi finished speaking, he handed Li Quan a letter.

Li Quan took it and said, "My lord, please rest assured, I will definitely hand it over to Zhang Rang in person, and I will never let a third party know"?

"Okay, when I get to Luoyang, help me visit Cao Cao and my mentor General Zhu Wei, and say that I miss them very much."

"Yes, my lord, I will bring it."

"In that case, then you go back and prepare."
