"Fan Lihua?" Xue Rengui squinted his eyes, watching the Western Turkic army leave, his face was a little solemn, he could feel that this Fan Lihua was an unborn general, if he wanted to defeat her, he had to make a move, and it seemed a little difficult for him to win her.

Li Daozong sighed with regret on his face: "It's a pity, if you can leave this female general and tens of thousands of troops behind, the Western Turks will definitely be greatly damaged, but it's just ...... This female general is too powerful. ”

Xue Rengui on the side nodded slowly when he heard this, obviously, he very much agreed with Li Daozong's statement, the 30,000 army is nothing, what he cares about is the female general named Fan Lihua, this person is so outstanding, he will definitely become a disaster for the Tang Dynasty in the future.

After a long time, Li Daozong sighed and said, "That's it, let's go back too, Chief Manager Xue, this time you have made another great achievement, and the addition of an official to the knighthood is just around the corner, this king congratulates him in advance." ”

"Xue thanked the prince first." Xue Rengui smiled and hugged his fists and said, "The prince has worked hard all the way, this time the military situation is urgent, Xue has not been able to catch the wind for the prince, the overall situation has been decided, and after returning to the city, Xue will definitely have a few drinks with the prince." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Li Daozong smiled and nodded.

Li Daozong is Li Hao's father-in-law, Li Hao naturally can't pit him, before Li Hao sent a secret letter to Li Daozong, let him get closer to Xue Rengui, after all, in the future, these two will be the biggest help in Li Hao's army, and Li Hao's most trustworthy person, they must let them deal with the relationship, fortunately, Li Daozong and Xue Rengui's temper is quite good, the two exchanged pleasantries, and then led the troops back to Fu Qi City.

After returning to Fu Qi City, Xue Rengui and Li Daozong first reported back to Chang'an with a great victory, and then set up a simple banquet and drank a few glasses.

Although he didn't drink much, he didn't say much, both of them were close to Li Hao, and when they chatted, they naturally had to mention Li Hao, as soon as they talked about Li Hao, the two of them had endless words, Xue Rengui naturally admired Li Hao, Li Hao was a hero in his heart, an idol, and Li Daozong was different, although he also thought that Li Hao was good, he was a talented person, but he was still a little angry about Li Hao's bastard nature, he was choked by Li Hao at the beginning, but these words, he couldn't say it, After all, now Li Hao is his son-in-law, and a son-in-law is half a son, even if Li Hao is a bastard, he has to tolerate it.

Early the next morning, Li Daozong led his troops back to Chang'an, Li Daozong originally came with a will, Li Shimin's will was to let Xue Rengui stay in Tuyuhun, establish a military base in the plateau, and train soldiers and horses here, as for Li Daozong, once he wins, he will immediately return to Chang'an to resume his life, and he must not stay.

On June 24, the hottest ten days of summer, Li Hao returned to Chang'an, and there were still more than ten miles away from Chang'an City, and a proclamation team rushed to pass on the emperor's edict to let Li Hao enter Chang'an City from Mingde Gate to show his appreciation.

Li Hao obeyed the emperor's order, went around in a big circle, and came to the front of the Mingde Gate, only to see that the Mingde Gate had already been renovated, and there was no trace of war.

Mingde Gate is different from other city gates, Mingde Gate is of great significance, generally not open, it is impossible to pass through cars, horses and pedestrians, if the people want to enter the city from the south, they can enter the city from the Anhua Gate on the left or the Qixia Gate on the right, so when will the Mingde Gate be opened?

Every major sacrificial ceremony, the Mingde Gate will be opened, such as every time the throne, or the winter solstice, the first month of the first month of Xin and Mengxia, when the emperor has to bathe and fast, personally lead hundreds of officials from the palace in the north of Chang'an City, all the way along the Vermilion Bird Street to the south out of the Mingde Gate, in the Mingde Gate outside the round mound altar to carry out the worship activities. After returning from the ceremony, he re-entered the Mingde Gate, played drums and music, and guided back to the palace.

In addition to being the only way for the Son of Heaven to participate in the ceremony, Mingdemen was also an important place for the people to hold large-scale sacrifices in the Tang Dynasty to eliminate disasters.

Looking at the magnificent Mingde Gate, Li Hao felt a lot of emotion in his heart, this is the third time he has entered the Mingde Gate, the first time is to return from Tingzhou, Li Shimin authorized him to enter Chang'an from the Mingde Gate, and the second time is that he returned from Qiongnan King Qin, and forcibly opened the Mingde Gate with a cannon.

Now, he has made great contributions again, he repelled the barbarian alliance of the four tribes in Youzhou, and stopped a national military catastrophe in the cradle, Li Shimin was happy with his heart, and authorized him to enter the city from Mingde Gate.

Li Hao led more than 500 people into Mingde Gate and came to Suzaku Street.

Suzaku Street is 150 meters wide and 5,000 meters long, from Mingde Gate to Suzaku Gate, 150 meters wide street, it makes people dizzy to think about, but this is not enough for the bustling Chang'an, at this moment, Zhuque Street is full of people on both sides, looking at it, a piece of black pressure, all black heads, fortunately, there are many guards to maintain order, all these people are blocked on both sides of the street, and the center of the street gives way to a 30-meter-wide aisle.

Seeing Li Hao appear, the people suddenly boiled, and I don't know who shouted: "God of War!" ”

Immediately someone shouted along, and at last the cheers became so neat that they were like a tidal wave, and all ears could hear: "God of War!" God of War! God of War ......"

There are many people who have seen such a grand scene for the first time, and they were a little frightened for a while, such as Dadao Guan Hong, Situ Feng, Zeng's father and daughter, and even masters like Ye Mengqiu were also shocked by the momentum of this scene, dumbfounded, and speechless for a while.

Di Renjie turned his head to look at Li Hao, who was praised by the people, and saw Li Hao smiling, without half of his arrogance, he couldn't help but secretly admire, and said sincerely: "Lord Wang, you are really a strange person." ”

"Huh? What did you say! Li Hao sat on horseback, bent down and leaned in front of Di Renjie, trying to hear what Di Renjie said, no way, he only saw Di Renjie's mouth move, but he couldn't hear the sound, because the people's voices were too loud, even if Di Renjie was only one meter away from him, he couldn't hear Di Renjie's voice.

Di Renjie also bent down, leaned into Li Hao's ear, and said loudly: "I said! Rajah! You really are a strange man! ”

Even so, Li Hao still didn't hear clearly, only heard the word prince clearly, which shows how loud the cheers of the people are and what a grand scene the scene is.

Li Hao was helpless, so he simply pretended to hear it, straightened up and nodded again and again, looking serious.

Since he couldn't hear anything now, Li Hao didn't bother to speak, raised his hand and pointed forward, and then the others dismounted, only Li Hao rode on horseback, and the team began to move forward, heading towards the Vermilion Bird Gate.

Wherever Li Hao's team went, the people everywhere were excited, shouting more happily, and some even jumped up and shouted, in order to express their enthusiasm and worship, Li Hao was helpless, the people were so enthusiastic, he couldn't pretend to be cold, he could only smile and wave to the people along the way, and greet them.

Finally walked ten miles long Suzaku Street, came to the Vermilion Bird Gate, the Vermilion Bird Gate slowly opened, Li Hao was just about to dismount, a team of eunuchs ran out, obviously, they came to announce the decree.

Li Hao hurriedly turned to face the people, raised his hand high, after the people saw it, they were immediately silenced, although the people in the distance could not see, but when they heard the silence of others, they immediately understood, and followed the silence, like dominoes, the people of Shili Zhuque Street soon quieted down, no one spoke, the huge Zhuque Street, nearly 100,000 people, but did not make a single sound, it is comparable to a well-trained army, the quality of the people of the Tang Dynasty is really the highest existence in Chinese history.

Seeing that so many people quieted down after only a moment, the group of eunuchs were also extremely stunned, and after an old eunuch in the lead was slightly moved, he hurriedly collected his surprise and said loudly: "Li Hao, the king of Qiongnan, took the order!" ”

Li Hao hurriedly dismounted and saluted: "Minister Li Hao takes the order!" ”

"Spread the emperor's edict, Li Hao, the king of Qiongnan, is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and allows the emperor to ride a horse in the imperial city to show his appreciation! Immediately enter the temple of nectar! ”

"Thanksgiving!" Li Hao saluted again, straightened up, and was secretly excited in his heart, riding a horse in the imperial city, this is a special honor, it seems that Li Shimin's reward for him this time will not be small.

Everyone else stayed outside the Vermilion Bird Gate, Li Hao rode into the Imperial City alone, and after entering the Imperial City, it was a broad street, leading straight to Chengtianmen, this is Chengtianmen Street, people in the officialdom like to call it Tongtiandao, it was on this street that countless Xuanjia soldiers fought bloodily and died in the flames, Li Hao stood under the Suzaku Gate, looking at Tongtiandao, and his heart was difficult for a long time.

"Lord Wang, why don't you go in?" The old eunuch came to Li Hao's side, looked up at Li Hao on horseback, and urged in his words.

Li Hao smiled abruptly and said, "I think of my comrades-in-arms who died in the bloody battle here, and I am a little sentimental, so I made Liang Gonggong smile." ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Liang nodded and said: "The prince is very affectionate and sexual, it is very rare, if the prince's comrades-in-arms know that the prince is grateful for him every time he comes here, he can also be comforted under the nine springs." ”

"Inherit the good words of the father-in-law." Li Hao smiled, lifted the reins lightly, and drove the horse onto Chengtian Street.

There are two rows of Yu Lin Guards standing guard on both sides of Chengtian Street, at a glance, straight as a line, although this group of Yu Lin Guards just stood there simply, without any movement, but it gave people a cold and solemn momentum.

Li Hao is a hero who has experienced the baptism of war, and he will only have a sense of intimacy with this momentum, and he rides a horse very indifferently in the middle of the street, "Da-da-da-da......" The horse's hooves hit the bluestone street unhurriedly, and the sound is exceptionally clear and rhythmic.

All the way to the Chengtian Gate, it was already afternoon, Li Hao was a little tired, he remembered that it was still morning outside the Mingde Gate, and it was already afternoon when he arrived outside the Chengtian Gate, alas, what a waste of time, fortunately he could ride a horse in the imperial city, otherwise he really doubted that he would have to wait until sunset to face the saint.

As soon as Li Hao turned over and dismounted, the Chengtian Gate opened, Xu Lian held a bright yellow scroll, and walked out with a team of Jin Wuwei, and when he saw Li Hao, he said loudly: "Li Hao, the king of Qiongnan, takes the order!" ”

Li Hao hurriedly saluted: "Minister Li Hao takes the order!" ”

Xu Lian unfolded the holy decree and read aloud: "The edict said: The Tang Dynasty rivers and mountains, thousands of miles of territory, the founding of the country is difficult, and the same is true for defending the land, the heavy responsibility of the society, the monarch and the minister should be the same, the monarch is the virtuous, and the monarch is the evil ......."

I have listened to the holy decree many times, Li Hao can be regarded as experienced, and this time the holy decree is still relatively easy to understand, it is a bit long, there are a lot of big truths, all nonsense, the last paragraph is the real purpose of this holy decree, this is the holy decree of Li Hao's reward.

The last paragraph is: "Qin Feng Qiongnan King Li Hao's name of military god, on top of all military positions, Jin Feng Hussar General, awarded the title of Shangzhu State, Feng Qiongnan King Li Hao's main room Li Shi, side room Tu Shi Yi Order." ”
