What a wonderful thing it is to return to Beijing!
But this kind of beauty is only for others.
Ling Yun and Zixuan did not show any joy at returning to Beijing, but instead showed unusual worries.
In the eyes of others, the capital city is a good place for promotion and promotion.
Only Ling Yun and Zixuan have different ideas. In their view, the capital is a cage and a trap...
If one is not careful one day, people may fall into it and be deeply bound by it, unable to extricate themselves.
As they embarked on the journey back to Beijing, Ling Yun and Zixuan gradually felt a sense of suffocation in their hearts.
This feeling made them feel depressed.
This is why, before he returned to the capital, Ling Yun had already had the idea in his heart of taking a job in a local area.
This is a kind of helplessness and a kind of self-protection.
Who told him that his foundation in the court was too short to be able to fight against the cunning old foxes such as He Yushan and Gao Anxiang?
Staying in the capital, relying on this military exploit in a short period of time, you may not run into trouble, but if things go on like this, over time, He Yushan and others will definitely find faults and frame them...
If this is the case, then it is better to guard the border and have some peace and quiet, or it is better to go down and become a prefect and have some peace and quiet.
I just don’t know if Emperor Qianxi would allow it in this situation...
Half a month later, within the capital.
Three thousand white-robed troops escorted the carriage and slowly walked towards the capital.
Ling Yun returned to the capital this time with a total of 50,000 soldiers. However, he was close to the gate of Kyoto and needed to set up camp outside the capital, and not too close to the capital, otherwise he would be warned.
This is an unwritten rule.
No matter who leads more than 5,000 soldiers, they are not allowed to enter the city without an imperial decree. Anyone who violates this will be killed without mercy!
Therefore, when they were fifty miles away from the capital, Ling Yun asked the army to find a place to camp. In fact, there was no need to look, because when they got close to the capital, the Beijing army appeared and led the army back to the capital to camp at a prearranged place.
Therefore, Ling Yun was escorted by only three thousand white-robed troops.
These people are said to be white-robed soldiers, but in fact they are all his personal guards.
On the battlefield, these people would not go to the battlefield, they would only protect him, unless of course Ling Yun personally charged into the battle.
"Sanniu, are we almost arriving in the capital?" Ling Yun mentally calculated the time to enter the city and stuck his head out and asked.
"Go back to the young master, there is still half a stick of incense left..." Yang Sanniu replied with a smile on his face.
Back in the capital, Yang Sanniu was very excited, because this time he had made great achievements, which was enough to make him a general.
Soldiers charge into battle, go through life and death, don't they just hope to become a general one day?
Yang Sanniu has exactly this mentality now.
Because Ling Yun was dismissed last time, all his subordinates were also dismissed. Now that they have made great achievements, it is the time to reward them based on their merits. Thinking about it, I can't control my excitement.
"How are you feeling?" Ling Yun saw his excitement, so he looked at Yang Sanniu and said with a smile.
While Yang Ergou was away, Yang Sanniu was the person who had been with him the longest and was the most loyal to him.
Therefore, Ling Yun took special care of Yang Sanniu.
"Hey, I think I'm in a good mood now, but I don't know what kind of general your Majesty will give me this time?" Yang Sanniu smiled honestly, and then said a little embarrassedly.
"Don't worry, it won't be too low, and he will be a genuine fifth-grade general." Ling Yun affirmed.
Yang Sanniu liked to charge into battle, so Ling Yun asked him to transfer him from personal guard to charging into battle. Yang Sanniu wanted to be a general, so Ling Yun asked him to become a famous general...
"Young master is right, San Niu believes it!" When he heard Ling Yun said that he was no less than a fifth-grade general, Yang San Niu's eyes instantly lit up, and the smile on his lips became even wider.
The two were chatting, when hundreds of soldiers came from the direction of the capital. When they saw what they were wearing, they realized that they were the Forbidden Army, and that the leader was an acquaintance, that is, the Western Beijing Army that had been summoned by Annan, who had led the Forbidden Army. Deputy Commander Zhang Dingshan.
"Deputy Commander of the Western Beijing Army, Zhang Dingshan, welcomes the triumphant return of General Ling Yun!" Zhang Dingshan came to the carriage, instantly turned over and dismounted, and bowed to the carriage where Ling Yun was sitting, with a solemn and solemn look on his face, showing great respect. .
Xixia invaded the frontier of Yongyuan, but the defenders of Yongyuan were defeated like mountains. They were beaten back and forth, unable to fight back.
He Qirui led his army on an expedition with great majesty, but ended up being captured alive by the enemy, which was embarrassing!
Ling Yun led an army of 30,000 people and went to Yongyuan. The army was not only less than He Qirui's five-man army, but also made unparalleled achievements...
After several months of campaigning, he was able to achieve an unparalleled feat, which was admired by all the people in the country and was sung throughout the world.
As a soldier, Zhang Dingshan was well aware of the difficulty of Ling Yun's expedition and could better understand the horror involved, thus respecting and admiring Ling Yun even more.
This can also explain why he seemed so excited as soon as he arrived in front of Lingyun's bicycle frame.
When Ling Yun saw this, he immediately stepped down from the carriage.
Even though Zhang Dingshan was only the deputy commander of the imperial army, he represented the emperor. Therefore, Ling Yun did not dare to be careless in the slightest. He bowed his hands to Zhang Dingshan and said, "Commander Zhang will greet you personally."
"General Ling, you are very polite. It is Zhang's honor to welcome the general on his triumphant return this time." Zhang Dingshan suddenly became more respectful, and his words and actions were full of awe.
After a pause, he added with a smile, "Zhang can come to greet the general because Commander Song needs to protect His Majesty. Otherwise, Zhang would never get this opportunity."
"No wonder!" Ling Yun thought to himself.
The last time he returned to the capital in southern Guizhou, Song Gaofei, the commander of the imperial army, personally greeted him, but this time it was Zhang Dingshan. Originally, Ling Yun thought that in the heart of Emperor Qianxi, his achievements this time were not as good as those last time in southern Guizhou. Doubts also arose.
After Zhang Dingshan said this, he suddenly became enlightened.
"Thank you, Commander Zhang." After understanding the reason, Ling Yun did not hesitate, but thanked Zhang Dingshan again.
"General Ling..." Seeing Ling Yun being so polite, Zhang Dingshan couldn't help but feel flattered.
"General, Your Majesty learned that the general has returned and personally led all my officials to welcome him at the city gate..."
"When the people of the capital learned of the general's triumphant return, they also bravely waited for him inside and outside the city..."
"Boom!" After hearing this, Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Dingshan dryly, and asked with some excitement, "Commander Zhang just said that His Majesty will personally lead all the officials to greet him at the city gate?"
If it were just a hundred officials greeting him, Ling Yun might not be so surprised. However, Zhang Dingshan told him that Emperor Qianxi was waiting at the city gate. What kind of treatment was this?
Ling Yun was frightened when he heard such a great honor...
With the dignity of an emperor, he personally leads all the officials to welcome him. This is the greatest courtesy and favor for a country.
