Chapter 288 The Zhenbei Army wins and returns to Beijing in triumph!
Shen Lanxi smiled at the corner of her mouth: "It's not us who are anxious now, it's the Turks, it's Hiroshi Abe. According to the conditions we proposed before, double the amount!"
Everyone took a breath, before In addition to the above conditions, the three tribes were also asked to pay tens of thousands of loads of grain as compensation, which has now doubled. Their general really knows how to bargain!
The peace talks are still continuing, but the three Turkic tribes have quietly withdrawn their troops from the occupied cities.
“They’ve come to their senses!” Shen Lanxi said meaningfully.
Che Mingyuan and others' eyes lit up. Do you want to reduce consumption on the Turks? Or should you send troops back to the imperial court to protect them?
Soon the detective came to report the news.
"The Turkic troops withdrew quietly towards the southwest."
The southwest is where the Turkic imperial court is.
“The Turkic Queen Mother must have been forced into the palace.”
Shen Lanxi: "Let our people prepare to take over the city, and write another memorial to the court, saying that we will fight bloody battles to recapture a city!"
Everyone: "..."
This The city was too easy to capture!
After receiving the battle report, the imperial court publicly praised Shen Lanxi lavishly, but secretly urged her to take back several other cities as soon as possible.
Shen Lanxi took the opportunity to ask for food, wages and supplies, and proposed that the court increase its troops.
Emperor Renxiao thought for two days and wrote an edict to inform the northwest.
The military power in the northwest has been transferred to Shen Lanxi!
Although the northwest guards have long shown their concern, they are still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Emperor Renxiao clasped his hands behind his back and looked to the northwest with a thoughtful look on his face.
He gave him military power, and everyone in the world knew about it. Whether Shen Lanxi can catch it or not depends on herself.
If she can't even do this, it only means that her identity as a woman is not convincing to the public.
It was this imperial edict that Shen Lanxi was waiting for. After receiving the imperial edict, she immediately ordered people to carry the contents of the edict to every corner of the northwest.
Within two months, the Turks gradually removed the cities they occupied. Since then, all the cities that have been removed have all returned to the Zhou Dynasty.
When the Zhenbei Army entered Fengling Pass, the last city, Shen Lanxi stood on the city wall holding a star knife, fiercely dressed in red, the Zhenbei Army and the people all surrendered!
One after another good news came back to the court, which excited the monarchs and ministers in the court every day.
"Six years, nearly six years..."
"The northwest is finally pacified!"
Every minister's hands were trembling with excitement and they kept shouting.
The smile on Emperor Renxiao's face has not broken during this period of time, and there are two more smile lines.
“Okay, well done to the Zhenbei Army!”
Courtier: "Congratulations, your majesty, congratulations to your majesty..."
After Emperor Renxiao was happy, he said with a smile in his eyes: "Now we just need a piece of paperwork!"
Shen Lanxi occupied Fengling Pass. On the third day after that, a ten-year peace treaty was signed with the three Turkic tribes, and the delivery of prisoners of war and compensation was completed at the same time!
Compared with the Tatars and Persians, the Turks suffered the worst losses.
The Tatar-Persian envoys shook their heads and sighed as they signed and sealed the treaty. After completing the payment of compensation, they left in a hurry.
Turkic compensation delivery was scheduled to the end.
Hiroshi Abe is like an animal that has been defeated, and he no longer has the majesty of the past.
"Finally see you again!" Hiroshi Abe sighed after meeting Shen Lanxi.
Shen Lanxi smiled steadily and said: "Congratulations, you can finally go back to your hometown in Turks!"
The corner of Abe Kuan's mouth froze. His mistake was that he underestimated this woman too much.
Now that the mistake has been made, it can never be undone. "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I, Hiroshi Abe, am convinced!" Even if a man loses, he must be magnanimous and not let a woman look down upon him.
Shen Lanxi knew in her heart that Abe Hiroshi was eager to go back and seize power. Unfortunately, he had been away from the imperial court for too long. The eighteenth prince who had been under his control had long been out of control. He was afraid that he would still be there. In the dark!
Half a month later, the treaty was sent to the court. Emperor Renxiao cried with joy that day and decided to open the Ancestral Temple and inform his ancestors!
Northwest
Shen Lanxi: "Get ready, we are going to return to Beijing in triumph!"
Everyone was shocked, so fast?
For a time, everyone had different thoughts.
"General, after we return to Beijing, will we come back?" Will we be seized of power like we were in Dongchuan?
Shen Lanxi scanned the crowd and finally set her sights on Wei Dongzhu.
Six years later, Wei Dongzhu has grown into an eagle in the northwest. The sons of the Shen family are all like falcons, handsome and upright, able to stand alone.
Liu Yanhui, Ban Sicao, Xiao Fang, Qian Feng, Cheng Zheng, Sang Guo... have all lost their youthfulness.
"It depends on you. If you want to come back, you can come back. If you don't want to come back, you can also make up for it!" Shen Lanxi said with a smile.
When Shen Yuanjing and others heard the news of returning to Beijing, they had expectations but also sadness and reluctance.
They were homesick, and their families were all in the capital, so they were naturally eager to return home.
However, they were equally reluctant to leave the northwest.
They were still young when they left Dongchuan. Now that they have grown up, looking at the homes they have built little by little, they can’t bear to leave this place.
Che Mingyuan: "It shouldn't be that fast. There are still a lot of things to do to deal with the aftermath." For example, to appease the Wala tribe and to subdue the soldiers from various cities who came to serve.
It will take at least half a year to finish all this work.
Shen Lanxi smiled and said nothing. Half a month later, the imperial edict for his return to the imperial court was sent.
"...After three years of absence, my family in Beijing misses me greatly. I hope the general will return to Beijing in triumph as soon as possible!" The eunuch who delivered the order recited the last few sentences and respectfully presented the imperial edict with both hands.
Shen Lanxi took it and said: "Your Majesty, take the order and thank the Lord for your kindness!"
...
"Fortunately, we made preparations in advance. I didn't expect that His Majesty would really He urged us to return to Beijing so quickly!" Shen Yuanjing said with lingering fear.
Shen Lanxi: "Follow the previously arranged instructions and set off back to Beijing in five days!"
"Yes!"
The imperial edict named Wei Dong Zhu Liang Shao and other famous people in the palace to return to the capital together, which was equivalent to her taking away most of the elite soldiers of the Zhenbei Army.
Within two days, Zhou Ruan came with the imperial edict, which stated: While the main force of the Zhenbei Army enters Beijing, Zhou Ruan will temporarily take charge of the army!
"General, Zhou Ruan is here to pick peaches as expected!" Xiao Fang and others were furious.
Ban Si was angrily and said: "I told him before, feed him some medicine, and you have to stop him!"
Xiao Fang and others hurriedly explained in their hearts: It wasn't them who stopped him, it was her who stopped him.
Che Mingyuan rolled his eyes at him: "It's not too late for you to feed him a pack now!"
Ban Sicao was not stupid, he smiled and waved his hand: "It's too obvious to feed him now. , I will feed him when Zhou Ruan returns to the capital. Even if the medicine can’t kill him, it will kill him!”
Shen Lanxi: “…” This guy has a lot of ideas!
Arranging follow-up matters, sorting out the luggage, and naming the people returning to Beijing, Shen Lanxi and his men were busy with their feet on the ground.
The eunuch who conveyed the order was still there, and since they knew they were going back to Beijing, Wu Tong and others also cheered up.
Even if you are not busy, you still have to do it for these eyes and ears.
On the fifth day, the Zhenbei Army won the victory and returned to Beijing in triumph!
