Liu Yizhen looked at the Hu Xia cavalry behind them, who were only a few hundred meters away from them. He made a face with a smile and slapped Mian Qian's big butt: "Let's go, we're home! You've lost weight several times because of my riding. I’ll give you a good supplement.”

Cotton snorted and reluctantly shook his body, strongly expressing his desire to rest.

"I know, I know!"

Liu Yizhen jumped off his horse, comforted Mian, and then asked about the situation in Guanzhong.

General Shanggui was a subordinate of Fu Hongzhi and belonged to the Shen Tianzi clan. Seeing Shen Tianzi, Fu Hongzhi was filled with emotion that he was still alive.

"Since Helianbobo retreated, there has been no trace of Duke Guiyang, General Shen and others. We are really anxious! Later, we heard from General Wang Zhene that you had gone to the outside of the Great Wall. We thought we would never see the general again in this life."

"Okay, stop being sensational."

Liu Yizhen's eyelids were trembling due to sleepiness at this time, and he had no time to listen to the other party's expression of loyalty.

"Now we are all back, and there are quite a few of us. Please tell me carefully what news there is in Chang'an?"

General Shanggui saw Liu Yizhen's question and quickly responded: "I heard that reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive in Guanzhong and will switch defenses with us!"

This news shocked Liu Yizhen and Shen Tianzi.

Troops change defense...

That means the Jin soldiers stationed in Guanzhong can go home.

And soldiers changing defenses also means that generals have to go back.

Is it Wang Zhene or Shen Tianzi?

"Do you know who is leading the troops?"

General Shanggui shook his head.

Without people and official documents, it is indeed difficult to know who the generals who came with the troops are.

But Liu Yizhen made a guess in his mind, and it was just those few.

The generals who can be sent by Liu Yu at this time must be 100% loyal to Liu Yu.

Either Zhu Lingshi was a hardcore person who was single-handedly promoted by Liu Yu, or Kuai En was a die-hard loyalist who had fought with Liu Yu since the Beifu Army period.

"No matter what, I'll find out when I see Wang Xiu."

No matter what actions Jiankang takes at the moment, Liu Yizhen can't interfere. He only needs to predict it a little bit.

What Liu Yizhen didn't know was that the information that he led his troops to disrupt Tongwan City and detoured to Yinshan Mountain to fight thousands of miles had spread throughout China.

Originally, Liu Yizhen felt that he had done nothing, just repay the enemy with the same method, and went to the enemy's hinterland to burn, kill and loot. In fact, it was not a glory. He was neither like Wei Qing who destroyed the main force of the enemy's army, nor like Huo Qubing who swept away the royal court and established an unstoppable enemy. He has made great achievements in the world, so there is nothing to promote.

But not in the eyes of others.

Liu Yu heard that Liu Yizhen took Shen Tianzi, Fu Hongzhi and others behind enemy lines and almost got angry. He immediately ordered tens of thousands of troops to march west from Pengcheng, a defensive town in the east, into Guanzhong. If Liu Yizhen made any mistake, Liu Yu would definitely do everything possible. Send troops from Guanzhong to sweep the Hetao.

When the news came that Liu Yizhen and others had returned to Guanzhong without losing a hair, Liu Yu suddenly felt that the gloom had been swept away.

"See if my son is brave?"

In the past few days, Liu Yu showed off Liu Yizhen in front of several of his old officials every day.

"We fought thousands of miles in Hetao, and even burned the capital of Hu Xia. I heard from my son that he also grabbed the golden crown of the Xiongnu Chanyu. Che Shi (Liu Yizhen's nickname) really has the same demeanor as I did back then!"

The other ministers could only apologize.

"Che Shi must have suffered a lot. Let's call him back to Jiankang after the spring plowing!"

Liu Yu's remarks aroused the vigilance of many people.

"My lord, Duke Guiyang is brave and good at fighting. He is the perfect choice to guard the border. Why is it necessary to rush Duke Guiyang back to Jiankang?"

The speaker was Xu Xianzhi.

Now the official residence is Shangshu Pushe, and the official is Shangshu.

Not surprisingly, this person was Liu Yu's future prime minister.

Seeing Xu Xianzhi speak, Liu Yizhen was a little hesitant.

Also, there really are no suitable clan members in Guanzhong to suppress except Liu Yizhen.

But if Liu Yizhen is not allowed to come back, Liu Yu will always feel empty in his heart.

"This matter will be discussed later."

Liu Yu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but Xu Xianzhi showed a victorious smile on his lips.

It's okay, just grind it slowly.

Liu Yu has been under a lot of pressure recently, maybe he will forget about this matter?

But Liu Yizhen, Duke of Guiyang

Xu Xianzhi lightly twirled his beard, and something strange flashed across his abyss-like pupils.

"I hope this son can be willing to be the second Duke Liewu."

Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The lights in the dark room were swaying uneasily, and the surrounding golden Buddha statue looked particularly strange under the light, and the compassionate face also became a little ferocious.

"Cough cough cough!"

A frail middle-aged man sat on the bed coughing continuously.

"Father?"

Next to him is a burly young man with a high and narrow nose bridge, round eyes, and sickly white skin. He has a typical Xianbei appearance.

"Buddha."

The man on the bed is Tuoba Si, the current emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Tuoba Si's face turned pale and he looked at the young man weakly.

"Foli, do you know about Liu Yu's youngest son Liu Yizhen?"

"My son knows."

Tuoba Si's eyes dimmed.

"There are outstanding people in the Central Plains, including Huan Wen and Xie An before him, and Liu Yu after him. Now even Liu Yu's son is so brave. I don't know when we, the great Wei Dynasty, will be able to outline the four realms and join the Ronghua."

The young man was not convinced.

"Father! He, Liu Yi, can really turn around and fight for thousands of miles, and my sons and ministers can also go deep into the south of the desert."

Seeing that the young man was not to be outdone, Tuoba Si smiled happily.

"That's right, my son may not be worse than that Liu Yizhen."

Tuoba Si was quite confident in his son.

That's why he was named "Tao".

The word Tao comes from fire, from longevity, and longevity also sounds.

"Shou" and "fire" combined mean "long-burning fire", which can also be translated as "everlasting lamp".

Tuoba Tao will one day light up the world with eternal fire.

"Some spies from the north say that the creeps in the cold land are dishonest again. Let Foli lead the troops this time."

Tuoba Tao raised his fists to accept the order.

As the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was time for him to step out and start accumulating prestige.

The external turmoil could not reach Liu Yizhen, who was at the eye of the storm. Liu Yizhen and others rested for a while in Shanggui before returning to Chang'an.

After arriving in Chang'an, Liu Yizhen did not go to Wang Xiu or Wang Zhene immediately, but went straight to General Anxi's mansion.

He needs rest!

Well, have a good sleep.
Chapter completed!
