Hua'an and his 10,000 personal guards soon returned to Ctesiphon, and merged with Ctesiphon's soldiers and horses, at this time, the world has been settled, the declining Roman Empire is threatened by the Germanic tribes, and it can not threaten the Roman Governorship of the Great Jin Dynasty at all, and the rest of the Governor's Mansion is also generally stable, the situation is much better than expected, at this time, Hua'an's goal of the Western Expedition is not only completed, but also overachieved, which makes Hua'an and all the generals under his command very happy, and ready to celebrate after returning to Luoyang City.

"Your Majesty, this time in the west, we have established six prefectures, and the area of these six prefectures is larger than the more than 20 states of the Great Jin Dynasty, which can be described as brilliant results! Next, we can return to Luoyang City. Wang San said happily.

Hua An nodded and said: "That's right, this time the western expedition is generally very smooth, far exceeding the king's estimate, and the king is also very happy, however, the seat of the Persian governor's palace, Tai Xifeng, has not yet been completely built, so we still have to stay longer, and by the way, discuss how to arrange 60,000 Roman prisoners." ”

"Your Majesty, it is better to organize these Roman soldiers into auxiliary legions, and let them go to Tianzhu, Tocharo, and Hezhong respectively, so as to increase the strength of these prefectures." Song Cheng said.

Hua An nodded and said: "That's right, it is true that all of them should be incorporated into the auxiliary corps, and this matter will be handed over to General Song!" After all, General Song is the protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and in the future, the entire Anxi will need General Song to guard it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will be fortunate not to be dishonored." Song Cheng replied.

Hua An nodded, looked at the generals, and said: "Generals, when our army set off from Shule Town, there were 160,000 troops on both roads, and now, the Anxi Protectorate needs a large number of soldiers and horses to garrison, and the soldiers and horses who can return to Luoyang City are only less than 40,000, and the remaining soldiers and horses can only wait for the next batch of soldiers and horses sent by the Great Jin Dynasty for rotation." ”

When the generals heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

At this time, there were six governors in the Anxi Governorate of the Great Jin Dynasty, including the Roman Governorate, the Persian Governorate, the Gandhara Governorate, the Tianzhu Governorate, the Tocharian Governorate and the Hezhong Governorate, among which the Gandhara Governorate, which deployed the least Jin army, only had 10,000 Jin troops, and the Hezhong Governorate, which had the most garrisons, had 30,000 Jin troops. In addition to the main force of the 120,000 Jin army, the major governors also have a different number of auxiliary troops, the scale of these auxiliary forces is two or three times that of the main force of the Jin army, that is, there are two or three hundred thousand scales, these auxiliary soldiers and horses are all prisoners of various countries along the way, and the soldiers and horses formed after being recombined are weaker than the Jin army, but at least they can be used.

The construction of Ctesiphon was accelerating, and a month later, thanks to the efforts of 60,000 Roman captives, the main buildings of Ctesiphon were completed, and at least the seat of the Persian Governorate of the Great Jin Dynasty could be functioning normally.

After that, the Jin generals mixed 60,000 Roman captives with Persian and Tianzhu soldiers and horses, and sent them to the other prefectures to serve as auxiliary soldiers of the Great Jin.

"Your Majesty, news has come back from the direction of Constantinople that the Roman Emperor Julian has always stayed in the city of Milan honestly, and there is no sign of recovering Constantinople." A Jin army general said.

Hua An smiled and said softly: "Constantinople has 80,000 men and horses of our army, and Julian's main force is pinned down by the Germanic tribes, so he naturally has no strength to attack Constantinople, besides, Constantinople is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he has no ability to capture this city." ”

"Your Majesty, since the governor's mansions of Anxi have been stabilized, can we return to Luoyang City?" Wang San asked in a low voice.

Hua An smiled: "That's right, we can return to Luoyang City, tell the soldiers, celebrate tonight, leave Tai Xifeng early tomorrow morning, and return to Luoyang City." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang San replied.

In the evening, Hua'an and his soldiers launched a crazy celebration in Tai Xifeng, in order to celebrate the glorious results of the Great Jin Dynasty's westward expedition, in order to reward the soldiers, Hua'an asked the generals to take out the good wine in the army, so that the soldiers could drink as much as they wanted.

After a night of carnival, the soldiers of the Jin army have been greatly relaxed, however, except for a small number of soldiers who returned to Luoyang City, most of the soldiers have to stay in the Anxi Protectorate, which makes them unconsciously homesick, but fortunately, Hua'an has promised them that they will be replaced within three years, that is, after three years, they can return to their hometown to reunite with their relatives.

Early the next morning, Hua An and his main generals led the army out of Ctesiphon and marched to the east.

Since there was no enemy to intercept the Jin army, for this reason, the soldiers of the Jin army abandoned a large number of unimportant heavy equipment and went into battle with light equipment, so the speed of the march naturally increased a lot.

As they passed through Mulu City, a group of auxiliary troops stayed, and the rest of the men and horses continued their march east after resting for the night.

After some time, Hua'an and his party finally broke away from the Persian Plateau and entered the land of the river with a charming scenery, and stopped at the city of Save, the seat of the Anxi Protectorate.

"General Song, in the future, Anxi will rely on you to defend it." Hua An looked at Song Cheng Zhengse and said.

Song Cheng nodded, and said with a straight face: "Don't worry!" King, with Song Cheng here, the Anxi Protectorate will be fine. ”

Hua An nodded with satisfaction, and left all the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Protectorate, and then led the main force of the Jin army of less than 40,000 and the troops to continue to march eastward.

When they came, Hua'an and his party took the South Road, and at this moment returning to Luoyang City, Hua'an decided to take the North Road, the North Road is much better than the South Road, after all, the North Road no longer has to go through the narrow Wakhan Corridor, and the Jin army and horses will inevitably arrive at Shule Town faster.

However, the North Road was also very cold, and the Jin army encountered ice and snow weather when passing through the North Road, and many soldiers were frostbitten, and even Hua'an's strong body felt the cold air.

The cold wind outside the tent was blowing with snowflakes, and Hua An was sitting in the big tent drinking to keep out the cold, and next to him was Yu Chilan with a fox fur.

"Your Majesty, it's cold, and you can't drink too much, so don't drink it!" Yu Chilan filled Hua An with the last glass of wine and said softly.

Hua An looked at Yu Chilan with a smile and said softly: "If Lan'er lies in the arms of this king, this king will not drink it, but it's good." ”

Yu Chilan smiled, gently put down the wine jug, and lay gently in Hua An's arms, looking at Hua An with beautiful eyes, and said softly: "The king is really bad, it's so cold, and he is not honest." ”

Hua comforted Yu Chilan's hair, put it on Yu Chilan's ear, and said softly: "It's because the weather is cold, that's why this king wants to hold my Lan'er!" It's so cold, can't Lan'er feel it? After speaking, he hugged Yu Chilan tightly.

Yu Chilan smiled, closed her eyes gently, and pressed her head tightly against Hua An's chest, feeling a comfortable sense of security.

Hua An closed his eyes, listened to the sound of the wind and snow whistling outside the tent, smelled the fragrance of Yu Chilan's hair, and felt the soft body in his arms, and an extremely wonderful feeling came to his heart.

"Lan'er, it's not early, let's rest!" Hua An said softly.

Yu Chilan opened her eyes lightly, nodded and said, "Let Lan'er serve the king to rest." After speaking, he and Hua'an walked in the direction of the back tent.

As for what happened in the back account, naturally there is no need to go into details, it is not suitable for children!

After surviving the bitter cold, Hua'an and his party finally arrived in Shule Town.

Shule Town is the most important city of the Great Jin Dynasty, for this reason, Hua'an gathered a lot of soldiers and horses in Shule Tun to ensure that Shule Town is always firmly controlled by the Great Jin Dynasty, so as to ensure the safety of the entire north and south of the sky.

After staying in Shule Town for a few days, Hua'an You was faced with a choice, you can take the north road to Dunhuang, of course, you can also take the south road to Dunhuang, both roads are about the same distance, however, the climate is relatively cold at this time, so Hua'an and the generals discussed, decided to take the south road, through Khotan, return to Dunhuang City, and then entered the core of the Great Jin Dynasty.

When the army arrived at the royal city of Khotan, it was warmly welcomed by the king of Khotan, Wei Chishun, and Yu Chilan was also reunited with Yu Chishun, looking very excited.

In order to allow Wei Chilan to reunite with his father for a few more days, Hua'an decided to stay in Khotan for a few more days, so that the army under his command could get enough rest, especially since many soldiers had frostbite and needed a good rest for a few days.

A few days later, Hua An led the army to continue to march eastward, Yu Chi Lan also said goodbye to his father, he wanted to follow Hua An to Luoyang City, however, at this time, her heart was still a little apprehensive, after all, in Luoyang City, Hua An has many princesses, and she can only be one of them at most, now, he can accompany Hua An every day, but after entering Luoyang City, maybe Hua An will not be able to accompany her day and night, after all, Hua An has to spoil the rest of the princesses.

Yu Chilan felt very sad at the thought that after returning to Luoyang City, she might not be able to see Hua'an for many days, but if she didn't follow Hua'an back to Luoyang City, she would never see Hua'an, which would make her even more sad, so Yu Chilan still decided to follow Hua'an back to Luoyang City.

"Lan'er, why do you seem to be very unhappy." Seeing that Yu Chilan's complexion was not very good, Hua An asked.

Yu Chilan pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty, after returning to Luoyang City, will Lan'er still be able to see the King every day?" After speaking, he looked at Hua'an affectionately.

Hua An smiled and said softly: "Of course you can, but it's ......"

"But what?" Yu Chilan hurriedly asked.

Hua An deliberately betrayed Guan Zi just now, and when he saw that Yu Chilan really asked, he hurriedly said: "However, this king can't spoil Lan'er every day, after all, this king's energy is very limited, and he can't be busy!" ”

"Hmph, the king is so annoying." Yu Chilan shyly reprimanded, and said: "Lan'er can see the king every day, it doesn't matter if she can get the king's favor or not, and Lan'er doesn't dare to expect it." ”

Obviously, in Wei Chilan's heart, as long as he can see Hua'an every day, it is a very happy thing, as for the pampering thing, his interest is not particularly great, just to please Hua'an, he responds to Hua'an's request.

Of course, what Hua An said about seeing each other every day meant that when he returned to the backyard every day, Yu Chilan could appear on the way and have a few brief words with him, and even, stand in the distance and look at him a few times, instead of being together for a long time.

This may be cruel, but there is no way, who let Hua'an be the husband of a person in charge and insist on getting wet with rain and dew? If he accompanies Yu Chilan every day, there should be many people who will be lonely, how can Hua An bear it?

Seeing that Hua An said that he could imagine it every day, Yu Chilan felt very happy, and the gloomy mood just now was instantly swept away.

Seeing that Yu Chilan was in a good mood, Hua An's mood also improved, and he walked east with a smile and a smile with Yu Chilan.

There is a long distance from Khotan to Dunhuang, but I didn't feel that there was much to get to Dunhuang along the way.

For Hua'an, it is not too important when she can arrive in Luoyang City, but for Yu Chilan, she naturally hopes that Hua'an will arrive in Luoyang City as late as possible, after all, after arriving in Luoyang City, she can't be with Hua'an every day, so in Yu Chilan's opinion, the speed of the march is too fast.

However, even if Wei Chilan was not satisfied, Hua An and his soldiers and horses still had to quickly rush towards Luoyang City in order to reach Luoyang City as soon as possible.

At this time, in Luoyang City, many ministers who intended to control the army panicked, after Hua'an left Luoyang City, they secretly planned and prepared for more than two years, but only a small part of the generals of the various armies were moved by them, saying that they would join them, and most of the generals still supported Hua'an, and now, Hua'an will soon return to Luoyang City, after they heard the news, how could they not be frightened.

"The King of the North is about to return to Luoyang City, we must start the plan immediately, otherwise there will be no chance." A minister intent on rebellion said loudly.

Another minister hurriedly said: "The King of the North has brought back nearly 40,000 troops this time, and the soldiers and horses we can mobilize will not exceed 30,000, and these soldiers and horses are deployed in non-stop places, it is difficult to secretly assemble in a short time, and they will definitely be discovered when the time comes." One minister objected.

"Then what should I do, do you just watch the North King be arrogant?" A minister said.

"In my opinion, it's better to launch it immediately, first control Luoyang City, and then order the world in the name of the Son of Heaven to eradicate the Northern King." A minister said.

"Okay, that's it." All the ministers answered the word together, and went out to prepare. (To be continued.) )
