The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

Sha Yuliang led Zhu Wei, Yuan Mingxian, Sima Yi, Hu Daxi, Zhenghe, Ying Wei and other generals of the Eastern Expedition, and detoured in Liaodong for several months, and finally drove the remaining Jurchens out of the wilderness outside Zhenbei Pass.

As Goguryeo harbored Dayu's rebel leaders and others, after Sha Yuliang destroyed the remaining Beidi soldiers, he led the original 20 cavalry and nearly Liaodong soldiers formed by Liaodong to fight in the eastern battlefield.

They swept through the area aggressively, and sent teams to attack any Goguryeo town that resisted.

In this world, although the Westerners have been selling muskets and artillery in the eastern coastal countries, Goguryeo is poor and has no other enemies except the Jurchens who bully them. Such a comfortable life also led to their king not paying enough attention to weapons.

In the past, the Yu Dynasty, which was a mess, still had some firearms, but Goguryeo was just the opposite. The king was so picky that he didn't even buy any firearms from the Xiyi people.

This can be regarded as an achievement for Sha Yuliang and his group of generals, allowing them to attack the city and capture the territory extremely smoothly, and successfully captured the rebel leaders such as Qin Lang, and finally drove all the remaining soldiers and horses of Goguryeo into the peninsula. Silla at the end.

How could Silla allow the remaining troops of Goguryeo to enter their country? You must know that Goguryeo used to be stronger than Silla due to their land area and strength, and they often bullied Silla.

In this way, Goguryeo became a lost dog. If they didn't take the opportunity to beat the drowned dog, they would be sorry for their ancestors who had been bullied to death.

Unable to return to their own country, they fled to Silla, but Silla did not accept them. In a dilemma, the royal family of Goguryeo was eventually captured by Silla's soldiers and lived a life of lifelong imprisonment.

This time, Sha Yuliang's eastern expedition team truly opened up territory for Dayu. The remaining troops in Beidi were wiped out, and the grasslands of Beidi truly belonged to Dayu.

When Goguryeo fell, Xia Jing directly stationed troops there and established the Andong Protectorate.

The area under the jurisdiction of the Andong Protectorate is directly under the jurisdiction of Youzhou.

In terms of territory under its jurisdiction, Youzhou has the smallest jurisdiction among the major northern states. This has increased a large area. The happiest person is Feng Yanrong, the governor of Youzhou.

During the Eastern Expedition, the emperor issued a decree. Except for Hu Daxi, who was promoted to the post of the guard of the Andong Protectorate, the commander-in-chief of the former Goguryeo and the soldiers and horses in Zhenbei, Zhendong and other places to protect the peace of the area, the other generals embarked on the return journey. Road to Beijing.

This is their triumph.

They were great contributors to Yu the Great's expansion of territory, and they would definitely be rewarded when they returned to Beijing.

Approaching the capital, there are green gauze tents growing well on both sides of the road. Both the generals and soldiers are in a good mood.

Didn't they lead troops to fight outside just to protect Dayu's country and the people?
Now that they see the people living and working in peace and contentment, they feel more gratified and proud than anyone else.

"General, look at this vast field of crops. The crops are growing well and vigorously. It looks like this year will be another bumper harvest!"

There is a cement road under the horses' hooves. There are many farmers working in the fields. Occasionally, I see a pond with many ducks swimming and playing in it.

Sha Yuliang looked at the prosperous scene and said with emotion: "It's good to have a good harvest. A good harvest means that people don't have to go hungry, and they don't have to flee from place to place and live a homeless life."

On both sides of the road, the farmers working in the fields stopped what they were doing when they saw the long and endless army, stood up straight and paid attention to them.

The respect shown in the eyes of these farmers is the greatest recognition of their efforts.

But there are also many people who envy them for being able to fight for the country. Not only do they fight for the country, but they can also receive military pay to support their families.Even if you join the army for a certain period of time, you can still receive a pension when you get old and have money to support your retirement. What a great thing!
Zhenghe and Yingwei, who were following behind, felt the most deeply. If their family had such good crops, would they have taken the whole village to escape from famine?
If you don't flee, you won't have the chance to join the rebels and do anything to overthrow the imperial court.

The soldiers looked at the crops on both sides of the road and felt homesick. After being away for so many years, they really wanted to go home and see the situation at home.

Since they have made a meritorious service this time, they should be allowed to go home during the holidays, right?

If they return to their hometown, it will be considered a homecoming in fine clothes, right?By the way, the clan was restored and the ancestors were honored. The villagers praised a few words, and the ancestral graves were filled with smoke.

Especially the soldiers who were once rebels and later surrendered, they are most eager to return home.

"The imperial court has moved back to the capital. I wonder how your empress is doing now? Is it going well?"

Zhu Wei was brave and careful. At this moment, he thought that the imperial court had moved back to the capital, where there were many people, and he didn't know if anyone would bully the empress in the capital.

The generals next to him were equally worried after hearing what he said.

After leaving Lingnan, the empress led them all the way to the Gyeonggi area, drove out the Beidi soldiers and horses, and occupied the Gyeonggi region to dominate.

Now that she is involved with the court, who knows if those sharp-tongued civil servants in the court will cause trouble for her.

When the army came back, it first returned to the Gyeonggi camp. The generals settled their soldiers and then went to the palace together to meet them.

As a result, they were still some distance away from the city gate, and they saw from a distance that the construction site that was once under construction was now crowded with people and very lively.

"General, has the train station been built?" Zhenghe asked, looking at the busy scene in the distance.

Sha Yuliang squinted his eyes slightly, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "It should be open to traffic, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people in this remote place on the outskirts of the city. Look, there are many vendors there."

"Is it open to traffic?" Sima Yi stretched his neck and looked at the train station in the distance, "Why didn't I see a train? Hey, do you know what a train looks like?"

The others shook their heads. When they left Beijing on the expedition, the train station had not been repaired. Now that it is open to traffic, they have not seen it.

The road into Beijing passes near the train station, but it is still a little far away from the train station.

Because they were in a hurry to enter the palace to see him, they did not go to the train station to find out what was going on. When they entered the city, they found that the streets in the capital were more lively than before.

But before they could take a closer look, countless pieces of colored paper suddenly fell from the second-floor windows of shops on both sides of the street, flying down and landing on the generals.

This sudden drama caused all the generals to pull out the knives hanging on their waists, thinking it was an enemy attack, but they found it was colorful shredded paper.

"Who made this happen? I was shocked. I thought the enemy's spies had already lurked in the capital!"

"Who says otherwise?" he said, pointing to the chamberlain who was throwing colorful shredded paper down from the window on the second floor. "He was almost killed. Fortunately, I stopped in time, otherwise the dagger would have been thrown. .”

The frightened waiter at the window on the second floor threw down a handful of colorful shredded paper with a smile on his face and shouted: "Play music!"

Suddenly the music was deafening.

The generals looked ahead.

"My mother, what are you doing? Is this such a grand ceremony to welcome us?"

In front, the Ministry of Ceremonies arranged a band of hundreds of people, dressed in colorful clothes, standing on both sides of the street to play music. Hundreds of music played in unison, and the music was so loud that the whole capital was probably shocked.

Yuan Mingxian raised his head and glanced at the colorful shreds of paper falling from his head, and then looked at the bands on both sides of the street in front of him, "Tsk, why do I feel like the number one scholar is parading through the streets?" The music was loud, but because of the The two were not far apart, and Zhu Wei still heard what he said.

So he laughed loudly: "When you are young, you have the feeling of being a champion while parading around the street, but I have the feeling of being a young adult!"

Yuan Mingxian looked at him with sympathy and said loudly: "You are old, why are you not anxious about life-long events? Come back this time and ask your empress to help you plan. Marry a daughter-in-law who knows how cold it is and how hot she is and can warm the bed." Home, life is almost complete.”

Zhu Wei glanced at him: "How can that be possible! How can you have a perfect life after marrying a wife but not having children yet, and not becoming a grandfather yet?"

Yuan Mingxian couldn't stop laughing after hearing this, "Okay, you haven't even written your horoscope yet, and you want to be a grandfather. I admire you!"

Dare to think!
Because there was a band playing music with them, the generals' riding speed slowed down.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Sha Yuliang and the others found a bright yellow figure standing in front of the palace gate.The only people in Dayu who dared to wear yellow robes were the emperor and the prince. The emperor had many things to do, and he would definitely not come out of the palace to greet them.

Then the person standing in front of the palace gate may be His Royal Highness.

Looking closer, Sha Yuliang saw clearly that the person coming was the familiar Crown Prince Li Chengmu.

How could Sha Yuliang and others dare to be negligent? They immediately jumped off their horses and trotted over to greet Li Chengmu.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Please get up quickly. You are the heroes of Yu the Great's expansion of the territory. You have worked hard. No courtesy. Please come with me into the palace. My father is eagerly waiting for you!" Li Chengmu hurriedly stepped forward. , helped Sha Yuliang, who was about to kneel down, up.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Sha Yuliang and others felt guilty and moved at the same time for asking His Highness the Crown Prince to wait for them at the palace gate.

Li Chengmu glanced at them and said with a smile: "Since everyone is here, come with me!"

There are sedans in the palace to ride on, but those sedans are not suitable for everyone entering the palace, but are prepared for the elderly, the weak, and the courtiers or family members who have the power to pardon.

Several strong generals would definitely not have the nerve to ride on it, but the palace gate was too far away from the emperor's Qinzheng Palace, and it would take a lot of time to walk there.

But this time when they entered the palace, they found several strange objects not far from the palace gate.

"Your Highness, this is"

"Haha." Seeing their confused looks, Li Chengmu was overjoyed: "This is a new means of transportation made by the Bingzhan Bureau in its spare time. It's called a bicycle, or a bicycle. Do you want to try riding them to work?" Zhengdian?”

He wanted to know whether this group of warriors, who had frightened their enemies on the battlefield, could control this little bicycle?
The generals were surprised: "Bicycle?"

Yuan Mingxian circled around the bicycle, but he still didn't understand how to ride it. "Your Highness, this thing has no legs, how can it be ridden?"

Sima Yi gestured at the height with his hand, "And the height of this bicycle is not as high as that of a war horse. It's also thin. I'm afraid it won't be able to bear our weight."

Li Chengmu and Chang Lu looked at each other, and then they couldn't help laughing.

The laughter of the two made Sha Yuliang and others look at each other. Can this thing really be ridden?Or are they ignorant?

"I'm still young, let's show you the generals." After laughing, Chang Lu did not forget about the business. He taught the generals how to ride bicycles. They couldn't let the prince come to teach them.

"."

The generals' eyes were wide open, and they wanted to know how this legless iron lump could ride away.

Changlu didn't care about the generals' thoughts. He rode on his bicycle, held the front of the bicycle with his hands, and kicked off the bicycle.

After swinging the front of the bike a few times, he was able to ride steadily on the long road. Of course, he didn't go very far. He just circled around them so that they could observe the riding skills of the bike.

It looks easy to ride. Sha Yuliang and others are eager to try this new toy.

Correct!
In their opinion, such a thin piece of iron is just a toy. If they really want to talk about transportation, they prefer horseback riding.

Each person had one, and Li Chengmu also rode one. He explained to them the precautions for riding a bicycle.

"Look ahead, hold the front of the car steady and don't shake it."

When Sha Yuliang and others heard this, they understood!

Get in the car and start walking!
But they were dumbfounded. This bicycle seemed to be easy to use on long roads, but why was it disobedient in their hands?
They tried to hold it to prevent it from falling to the left, but they insisted on falling to the right. They didn't dare to step on it hard. Whichever way they stepped, the bicycle would fall that way. They wanted to control it but couldn't.

"What kind of bicycle is this? It's not obedient at all. It's not as obedient as my Hayate!"

Blast was Yuan Mingxian's war horse. If he hadn't been in the palace, he would have almost smashed the bicycle out of temper.

Being so disobedient is worse than a wild horse!
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhenghe was so anxious that he was sweating on his forehead, "What the hell is this? The front of the car is unstable. I tried to straighten it to the left and it fell to the left. When I tried to help it to the right, it fell to the right. It just refused to move forward. Come on, is there something wrong with this bike?”

Several generals were learning and heading towards the Qinzheng Hall, but it was already an hour later when they arrived at the Qinzheng Hall.

"I thought you disappeared halfway, it took you so long to come back!" Li Jingfu almost fell asleep waiting, and when he saw the person coming, he glared at Li Chengmu angrily.

As soon as he entered the palace, he was scolded by the emperor, and no one dared to say a word.

After waiting to stand in front of the emperor, all the generals greeted him: "The last general Sha Yuliang (Sima Yi.) has met the emperor!"

Li Jingfu walked down Danqi, personally helped Sha Yuliang up, and then motioned to the other generals to stand up without ceremony.

Looking at the other generals who had been on the battlefield and had tempered their sharpness, he said cheerfully: "Generals, you are marching eastward for our country. I have always thought of you in my heart and hope to come back safely.

Now I am very relieved to see that you have returned safely. Leaving aside other rewards, I will give you the bicycle you rode all the way just now. "

"It is a dereliction of duty for the general and others to let the emperor worry."

Li Jingfu waved his hand nonchalantly, went up to Danchi and sat back on the dragon throne. He asked about the situation in Liaodong and what problems he encountered during this expedition that could not be solved.

Sha Yuliang shook his head: "We generals are all ruthless people. We are ruthless to ourselves, but responsible to our families. We face difficulties head on. We have not encountered any problems that cannot be solved for the time being." (End of Chapter)
