Chapter Thirty-Eight

When the Turks left, they dragged a long convoy, stuffed with stolen property, and were accompanied by thousands of women. However, no one in the Zhou army dared to challenge them, so they could only follow behind and send the Turks out of the country.

As soon as the Turks retreated from Pinggao County, the Zhou army in Anding County behind took over the city, but only got a ruin. Before leaving, the Turks not only set a fire, but also demolished the city walls before leaving, in revenge on the thousands of Turks who died under the city when they attacked the city.

When Yang Tian heard the Turks retreat, he couldn't help but be glad that his luck was. If these 70,000 Turks attacked Pule County again, Pule County would definitely not be able to resist. Fortunately, after Sha Boluo heard that there were tens of thousands of troops in Pule County, he deliberately went around Pule County. As soon as the Turks retreated, the Xuanlong army resumed the passage with the court. On the one hand, Yang Tian sent people to report the victory to the court, and on the other hand, he sent people to drive 5,000 war horses back to Beijing.

Since the Xuanlong Army set out to fight, the order in Chang'an City has returned to normal. However, after the Xuanlong Army set out to fight, there was no news to return. The people were still a little nervous. The news of victory on the front line came, and the government and the country vibrated.

This news inevitably makes people doubt that the eldest son of Duke Sui, the fourteen-year-old General of the Cavalry, personally led 2,000 people to advance thousands of miles and defeated the 20,000 Turkic army, sounded more like a myth, but the Turkic people withdrew from Pinggao County. Many people became half-believing and half-doubted. A few days later, after Yang Tian sent people to drive 5,000 war horses into the capital, this suspicion disappeared, and everyone was talking about Duke Sui's eldest son, the new talent of the Great Zhou.

However, the people inevitably become more and more mysterious. Some say that Yang Tian defeated the 50,000 Turkish army in 2,000 Yang Tian, ​​some say that the army defeated 100,000, and some say that the Turks that invaded this time were wiped out. The restaurants and teahouses in the capital talk about Yang Tian's annihilation of the Turks every day. No one can tell whether they are true or false. Young people are full of worship of Yang Tian, ​​and the restaurants in Chang'an are doing well in these days.

In the mansion of Yuan Xiaoju of the Great Pillar Kingdom, Yuan Qing'er was sitting in the garden, staring blankly at the wall in the distance, imagining the scene of Yang Tian climbing over the wall twice, but she didn't see it twice. Since Yang Tian led his army to fight, Yuan Qing'er has been worried, especially since the war report has not been reported to the capital for a long time. Although Xing'er often comforted her that it was a good thing that there was no war report, it means that the son-in-law did not fight with the Turks and was safe.

But Yuan Qing'er couldn't let it go. What if Yang Tian met the Turks? His troops were far less than those of the Turks. What if he was surrounded? But she was a girl who never left the house. Even if she was anxious, it was useless. She could only urge Xing'er to go out to inquire about Yang Tian every day. Her father would be entangled for a while when he returned to the court every day, and asked about the battle report on the front line in a roundabout way.

Yuan Xiaoju began to not understand his daughter's concerns, and was very pleased that his daughter would greet him as soon as he went to court every day. The daughter was finally not raised in vain and knew to love her father. After knowing what her daughter really cared about, she sighed that her daughter was not a big deal.

"Puliuruyong, what's going on now? The Turks are so cruel, don't fight them hard." Yuan Qing'er murmured to himself, wishing Yang Tian suddenly stood on the wall.

"Miss, Miss, there is news about my son-in-law." Xing'er ran into the garden.

Yuan Qing'er stood up, not caring about the aunt Xing'er's son-in-law, and the aunt-in-law shouted: "Xing'er, tell me quickly, is that good news?"

Xing'er took a breath: "Of course it's good news, no better news." She stuck out her tongue playfully: "Miss, I said, what do I give me?"

Yuan Qing'er raised her hand: "Damn girl, if you don't beat me for three days, you will be able to get out of the room and remove the tiles. You dare to bargain with me. If you don't say anything, look at me, don't twist your tongue."

Xing'er hurriedly put away her spitting little tongue, covered her mouth, and said in a buzzing voice: "Miss, if you want to twist my tongue, then I have nothing to say."

Yuan Qing'er was anxious, and Xiang Xing'er rushed over, stretched out her hand to twist Xing'er's little mouth. Xing'er quickly ran away: "Oh, Miss, I don't dare anymore. Isn't that okay?"

Seeing Xing'er escape, Yuan Qing'er said angrily: "Damn girl, why don't you tell me?"

Xing'er knew that it was enough to stop, otherwise Yuan Qing'er would be really angry but she would not have the best results. She hurriedly said: "Miss, it is rumored that my son-in-law brought two thousand people to cross Pinggao County occupied by the Turks and fought with tens of thousands of Turks. As a result, the Turks were killed so hard that they were bloody. Now the Turks have fled to the border."

When Yuan Qing'er heard Yang Tian fighting with tens of thousands of Turkic troops, he was so scared that he almost jumped out of his heart. After hearing Xing'er say it, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Damn girl, if you don't finish it first, you will almost scare me to death."

Xing'er gave her lady a blank look. The world was so conscience, but she finished speaking in one breath, without even pausing in the middle. Unexpectedly, she still ended up complaining.

After pausing for a moment, Yuan Qing'er hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him? Are he injured?"

"He?" Xing'er pretended to be puzzled: "Miss, which one is him?"

"Damn girl, she's itchy again, right?"

Seeing that the lady was about to come over and twist her again, Xing'er hurriedly said, "Miss, I really don't know this. It's just a rumor on the street that my son-in-law defeated the Turks. The Turks not only retreated, but also died tens of thousands of times. As for the others, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the master to come back."

Yuan Qing'er suddenly felt restless, walked around the garden, muttering to himself: "He is so stupid. How could he take the risk of fighting against tens of thousands of Turkic troops? Don't you know that others will worry? What if you are injured?"

"No, Xing'er, didn't you say there were a lot of people talking on the street? Let's go out of the house and listen?"

Xing'er shook her head: "Miss, those people on the street are spreading rumors. Anyway, my son-in-law won a big victory. If you have to wait for accurate news, you still have to wait for the master to come to court."

"Then go outside the door to see if the master has gone to court?"

Xing'er was immediately amused and crying: "Miss, it's not over yet. The master will not come back until Shenshi at least."

Yuan Qing'er said oh, looked up at the sky. The sun had not passed the middle of the sky, so he had to give up the idea of ​​letting Xing'er go outside to check. However, then Xing'er was still sent by Yuan Qing'er to ask if there was any more accurate news on the street.

Regarding Yang Tian's great victory, not only did the people of Chang'an hear it as a myth, but also felt it was like a myth to the ministers who had dealt with the Turks. Yang Tian's memorial could not be faked, otherwise it would be clear if the court investigated, especially the five thousand Turkic horses would soon enter Beijing. If it were fake, where would the five thousand good horses come from? Many people couldn't help but wonder, could the Turks not be as terrible as they imagined?

Yang Jian was becoming more and more satisfied with his son. From Yang Tian’s request to go to war, Yang Jian had a premonition that his son would probably soar to the sky before he agreed to Yang Tian’s request. However, Yang Tian’s contribution was not consistent with his strategy of keeping a low profile. Yang Jian had a headache.

Emperor Xuan of Zhou was very happy to receive the great victory of Yang Tian. He read it several times last night and kept applauding. Today, he took the initiative to come out of the harem for the first time and summoned the ministers to discuss the reward of Yang Tian. In his opinion, Yang Tian was his brother-in-law and achieved such great contributions at the age of fourteen. This is also his keen eye for talent.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Emperor Xuan of Zhou asked Zheng Yi to read Yang Tian’s memorial. Although this memorial was received last night, many ministers had read it before Emperor Xuan of Zhou, so everyone was not surprised at all.

"Dear friends, Pu Liuruyong has made such great contributions at such a young age. How should we reward him?"

Zheng Yi, who knew the emperor's wishes, immediately said: "Receive to the Heavenly Lord, Pu Liuru bravely deserves a reward, and a great reward."

Yuwen Yun was excited: "Yes, then I will enthrone Puliuru Yongboping County Duke and a general of the Zhuguo State, how about it?"

The ministers were stunned. It would be fine if the county duke was fine, but it was a false title, but it was too fast to be added to the general of the Zhu Kingdom at the age of fourteen. However, many ministers were rarely happy when they saw Yuwen Yun and were inconvenient to object when they had a good relationship with Yang Jian. However, if they wanted to agree, they always felt that it was too absurd and no one wanted to speak up. They were even cold for a moment.

Yuwen Yun was displeased: "My dear friends, Pu Liuru Yong made such a contribution with only two thousand people. Shouldn't you be rewarded? Don't think that I, the Heavenly Lord, didn't know that if you were asked to lead the troops, they would definitely push back and forth. Now, seeing that others made contributions, I will become a dumb."

The general of the Zhu Kingdom can lead the troops of the two governments. Yuchi Shun was not willing to strengthen the strength of the Pu Liuru family. He said with a tough needle: "Report to the Heavenly Lord, Pu Liuru Yong is a young talent, but he is still young, and he will definitely make more contributions in the future. It is not appropriate to entrust him to the General of the Zhu Kingdom now. I heard that Pu Liuru Yong has engaged to the daughter of Yuanbaoju. It is better to reward more gold, silver and wealth, and grant Baoju's daughter's imperial edict to make them prosperous."

Yuchishun said clearly that he would now be appointed Yang Tian as the general of the Pulver Kingdom. It would be difficult to be appointed as the title of General of the Pulver Kingdom in the future. Yuwen Yun immediately hesitated.

Yang Jian walked out: "Report to the Heavenly Lord, I have something to say."

"If you have any requests, just say it. As long as it is reasonable, I will definitely agree."

All the ministers looked at Yang Jian enviously, thinking that Pu Liurujian was already suspicious. His daughter was the Empress Tianyuan and his son was so heroic. The Duke's Mansion of Suiguo might have to be prosperous from generation to generation. However, Yan Zhiyi frowned. The power of the foreign relatives is so great, which is probably not a good thing. However, Yan Zhiyi is also an old man from the Emperor's Eastern Palace. He has always been regarded as a confidant by the emperor. Knowing that the emperor was disturbing those uncles, he would try his best to strengthen the power of the foreign relatives and establish five queens. It is not entirely nonsense.

Yang Jian said: "What Yuchi Zhuguo said is reasonable. The dog son is still young and should not be rewarded. My family has been quite polite recently. The Heavenly Lord only needs to give more money and I am grateful."

All the ministers smiled, and no one would think that the Duke of Sui was really short of money and property. Obviously, this was a trick to hide his humbleness. Pu Liurujian didn't want his son to show his sharpness.

"This..." Emperor Xuan of Zhou felt a little embarrassed. He just said that he wanted to grant Pu Liuru Yong as the general of the Pillar Kingdom, but he overthrew again in a blink of an eye. However, Yuchi Shun's words were not unreasonable. Emperor Xuan of Zhou decided to follow the situation: "That is the case, he appointed Pu Liuru Yong as the Duke of Boping County, rewarded 5,000 pieces of silk and 1,000 guan of money. The rest of the meritorious soldiers will be rewarded after the Duke of Boping County returns to Beijing."

"Long live thanks."

After rewarding Yang Tian, ​​Emperor Xuan of Zhou said enthusiastically: "Dear friends, since the Turks have been defeated, can the property and marriages they have prepared before be spared?"

Several old ministers were very anxious. The Great Zhou and the Turks had frequent interactions with the Turks and had some understanding of the dispute over the Khan throne. Although the Turks were defeated this time, the loss of tens of thousands of people was far from being hurt by the Turks. Sha Boluo took the initiative to give in because he was afraid that the losses were too great and he could not go back to the grassland to explain. However, once the Great Zhou repents, it would be equivalent to forcing Sha Boluo to a dead end and had to attack the entire army of Da Zhou.

Yu Yi, the Shangzhu Kingdom, quickly stood up: "Report to the Heavenly Lord, the country must not be trusted. Since we have signed a contract with the Turks, our dynasty should abide by it. Please think twice."

Many ministers also said, "Please think twice."

Yu Yi was an old minister from the Western Wei Dynasty. He was once on par with the Taizu of this dynasty. Yu Wen Yun was just a whim and did not take the property he wanted by the Turks. Seeing that Yu Yi and the ministers opposed it, he no longer insisted: "Okay, okay, that's it, let's deliver it to the Turks as agreed before, and let them return to the grassland as soon as possible."

"The Heavenly Lord is wise."

Emperor Xuan of Zhou immediately dealt with several more political affairs, remembering the beauty in the harem, he couldn't sit still on the dragon throne, and couldn't wait to announce the severance of the court and return to the harem.

After the court came, Zheng Yi, Liu Fang and others congratulated Yang Jian, and Yang Jian returned the salute one by one. The doctor Gao Bing and others left but whispered: "Sui Gong, it is probably not a good thing to make the young master too sharp."

Yang Jian nodded: "I didn't expect the dog to make such a big splash, so I turned down the emperor's reward."

Gao Yang shook his head: "It's useless. If the young master's talent has been revealed, he may become a thorn in the eyes of some people."

Yang Jian was shocked: "Dugu Gong, do you have any news that is unfavorable to the dog."

Dugu was given the surname of Gao Yang. The father and son of the Gao family were very close to Dugu Xin. Dugu Xin once recognized Gao Yang as his son and nephew and often called him Dugu Xin. Yang Jian called Gao Ying this way to bring the two sides closer.

Gao Bing said in a daze: "King Zhao is about to enter Beijing." He left.
