At the Ministry of War, Song Zhen is packing his things.

"I'm old, what else do I want to have dignity? Hey! I should have left long ago! But I can't see the grand scene of the Tang Dynasty subduing the foreigners and all the nations coming to court."

He walked out of the check-in room.

A group of officials waited silently outside.

Song Zhen smiled and said: "I'm gone, even if I'm at home, even if I'm in a coffin, even if I become a ghost, I will still stand on the grave and look at Chang'an and watch the Tang Dynasty rise. All gentlemen, work hard!"

Everyone salutes.

"Farewell to Song Gong!"

Song Zhen waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to send it away, no need to send it away, I can still leave!"

He walked out as fast as he could fly.

Everyone turned around to watch him off.

An old voice came:

"Young man joined the army and spent half his life in the army. Today he returns with gray hair.

I will live up to the Tang Dynasty and the world!"

…

Several cavalrymen rushed into Chang'an City.

The emperor suddenly ordered important officials to enter the palace.

"Does the head of state know what is going on?"

The weather was cold, and Zheng Qi was blown a few times by the wind when he went out, and his face turned livid.

Yang Songcheng shook his head.

Zheng Qi said: "It's not just the people who came to report victory in the southern expedition, right?"

Yang Songcheng said calmly: "It will happen when conditions are ripe."

Zheng Qi knew what the father-in-law was planning, "If we can make Southern Zhou bow in this battle, Southern Xinjiang will be at peace. In the future, we will use the Southern Xinjiang rebels to train troops. In this way, Xu Guogong will have great confidence in being the governor."

These words seemed to belittle Zhang Chumao, Duke of Xu, but Yang Songcheng had no objection.

The son-in-law seemed to be a young and talented man at first, but over the years, he seemed to have lost his talent.

Yang Songcheng glanced at Left Prime Minister Chen Shen in front of him and said, "Don't be complacent until the end."

At this time, a gust of wind blew by, and Zheng Qi shrank his neck, "That old dog, His Majesty is becoming more and more displeased with him now. But now His Majesty has raised another vicious dog."

"I don't like the emperor's dogs, especially Liang Jing. In the past, the emperor's dogs were mostly cruel officials with cruel methods, but they were easy to deal with."

Zheng Qi said softly: "That's a bad boy."

"Cruel officials act cruelly, and there are traces to follow, and they always move within the same box. Evil people are different, they cheat and deceive, they do all kinds of evil, and there are no traces to follow."

"The state leader is talking about the fields?"

"There aren't many fields, and the whole family doesn't care. But this incident reminds us that the dogs your Majesty keeps have begun to bite people."

"That vicious dog will be beaten to death sooner or later!"

"Luo Shangshu!"

Liang Jing's voice came from behind.

Luo Cai frowned slightly, turned around and said, "Shilang Liang!"

Song Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of War, has become an official. Liang Jing is now in charge of the Ministry of War until the new Minister is in place.

"Does Shangshu Luo have anything to do later?"

Liang Jing asked kindly.

Luo Cai shook his head slightly.

"Nothing."

"Then let's go and have a drink together? That's settled!"

Luo Cai: "..."

I am very old, and it would be embarrassing to go drink wine with you.

But Liang Jing didn't allow him to refuse. He strode forward, raised his hands to Yang Songcheng, and said sincerely: "Monarch, thank you very much."

hehe!

Yang Songcheng smiled.

"polite!"

Liang Jing's joy lasted until the emperor appeared.

The emperor's face glowed red, and everyone knew that something happy was coming.

"My lords, the southern expeditionary army has sent envoys to report their victory."

Everyone's hearts were shaken.

"Nian Xu gathered an army of 200,000 men, fought against my tigers, and was defeated."

Two words condense everything.

The endless thoughts and sacrifices of countless soldiers below were finally reduced to two words.

Rout!

The ministers were overjoyed and stood up one after another to congratulate him.

"The army immediately arrived at Yingshui, overlooking Bianjing. Bianjing was shaken, and the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty were frightened. After several negotiations, finally..."

The emperor looked with some morbid joy, his eyes were shining, "compensation is five million yuan."

Yang Songcheng calculated in his mind that five million dollars would naturally not be able to make up for the cost of this expedition, but it could be regarded as a powerful supplement. The life of the Ministry of Revenue would be much easier.

"Nian Xu's envoy will come to Chang'an with the army to apologize."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

The ministers congratulated him again.

Going out with a large army and making the enemy surrender is a sign of strong military virtue.

"The army destroyed the city for seventeen years, but Nian Xu was timid and took the initiative to let the three cities go to let the army enter." The emperor said calmly; "The pride and arrogance at the beginning have now turned into bitterness. This battle should tell the world that the Tang Dynasty cannot be defeated."

bully!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Big win!

The biggest thing this year has finally come to fruition.

Then, prepare for the reward.

Wang family.

Wang Douxiang is reading in the study room.

"Second uncle!"

Figures flashed outside and a clear voice came.

"Xian'er!"

Wang Douxiang raised his head and said with a smile: "Why don't you go to study?"

Wang Xian'er walked in and said, "Sir, he has contracted the cold and is taking leave today. By the way, second uncle, I heard that the Southern Expedition was successful?"

"Yeah!" There was a battle report on the desk in front of Wang Douxiang, which was very detailed.

Wang Xianer's eyes rolled a few times, "Second uncle, there are many books in your study, do you have any travel notes?"

"What do you want to ask? Tell me!" In Wang Douxiang's eyes, her niece's little trick was just a joke.

Wang Xianer said sarcastically: "Second uncle, what happened to that wild boy?"

"Wild boy?" Wang Douxiang was startled.

Wang Xianer said: "That's that Yang Xuan! That wild boy we picked up on the way back from Yuanzhou."

"Oh! Him?" Wang Douxiang took a look at the battle report, and inevitably had mixed feelings in his heart. "In this battle, he led the left army, and he was the most dazzling."

"That's it!"

Wang Xianer saluted, "Then I'm going back. Second uncle, I'll talk to Aye later and let me have less homework!"

"Let's do this! My second uncle is helpless!"

Wang Xianer begged again and again, and Wang Douxiang agreed.

"Then I'll take some time off today!"
