35. Chapter 35 Return of the General

After marching for two days and one night, the Qin army finally arrived at the long pavilion ten miles outside the east gate of Xianyang City, the capital. Wei Han was shocked when he received a report from the front saying that the monarch had come to greet him at the east gate in person.

Wei Yan dismounted and came to the pavilion, tidied his clothes, and sent someone to find Su Qin. He first asked about Su Qin's injury with concern. Su Qin said that he asked Ning Jun to cut open the muscles of his left shoulder and pull out the short crossbow.

I applied wound medicine and it was no longer a serious problem.

Wei Xuan told Su Qin that the king of Qin was coming to greet him, and asked Su Qin to go to see the king of Qin together after entering the city.

"Why is General Wei so urgent?" Su Qin was not mentally prepared.

Wei Xun replied: "Today, Qin Jun feels that I have been tired during the journey, so I proposed to him that I would let you go and live in my house temporarily, and he would give me some thin noodles. If we talk about it later, I'm afraid it will waste the opportunity."

"If you fall into the hands of Gao Sheng or Gongsun Yan again, they will definitely not let you go easily." Wei Yan was worried.

"General Wei was so kind to me, Su Qin couldn't be more grateful!" Su Qin hurriedly bowed to thank him.

Wei Wei waved his hand, indicating that he was not polite. Then he said: "After a while, I will go to see Qin Jun. You and Ning Jun will follow me together. I will introduce you to Qin Jun at the appropriate time." Su Qin kept saying.

promise.

When they arrived at the east gate of Xianyang City, which was far away from the city gate, Wei Yan dismounted, followed by Ning Jun and Su Qin on the left and right. When Gao Sheng learned that Qin Jun had arrived at the east gate, he secretly envied Wei Yan's respected status.

He also hurriedly followed Wei Xian.

Gongsun Yanze was placed in a chariot. He wanted to get up to see the chariot, but he couldn't get up. He was so anxious that he gritted his teeth and beat his chest.

Wei Yan led the generals of the expeditionary force to the front of Ying Si's chariot. When they saw him standing in front of the chariot, Wei Yan and others quickly knelt down on the ground and said, "I am here to see you, your Majesty."

Ying Si personally bent down to help Wei Han up. Su Qin and others also stood up after Wei Han. Su Qin saw that Ying Si was about thirty years old, capable and neat, with a solemn look on his eyebrows, showing no anger or authority.

Su Qin secretly praised: "No wonder Qin has risen rapidly. With such a capable monarch, the country will prosper."

When Qin Jun saw Gao Sheng, he stepped forward and held his hand, greeting him and saying, "Mr. Gao Sheng is back too. Thank you for your hard work."

Gao Sheng bowed to thank Qin Jun for his care, but in his hurry, he had no time to report on the completion of his mission. He glanced at Su Qin and said to himself: "Why did Wei Xuan bring this person here at this time? It is so untimely.

.”

Qin Jun looked at Ning Jun and Su Qin and saw that both of them were impressive and talented. However, he didn't know them both. Qin Jun thought they were both Wei Xuan's personal followers and didn't ask any questions.

It was almost dusk at this time, and Qin Jun said: "General Wei and Mr. Gao have worked hard, and I will hold a small banquet in the palace today to welcome you in person." Wei Yan hurriedly argued that he was not worthy, but Qin Jun couldn't help but said, Wei Yan

I can only obey orders.

When Qin Jun turned around to return to his chariot, he suddenly thought of Gongsun Yan, so he raised his hand to call Wei Yan to the front and said, "Why haven't you seen General Gongsun? Is he holding the battle from behind and not returning?"

Wei Yan was worried, so he tried his best to calm down and said: "General Gongsun Yan is greedy for merit and arrogant, and has repeatedly violated military orders, which led to the defeat of Quwo City. I will punish him."

"Really? Where is he now?" Qin Jun felt quite unhappy after hearing this, but he asked calmly on his face.

"He is resting in the car. He is inconvenient and may not be able to come to see you." Wei Xuan answered cautiously.

Qin Jun said "Oh" in surprise, intending to go and see Gongsun Yan in person, but felt that it was inappropriate to do so in front of Wei Xuan, so he didn't care much, boarded the Junjia himself, and led the returning Qin State.

The army entered Xianyang City.

Wei Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his face and felt glad that he had passed the test. He summoned another personal entourage named Pang Hui and asked him to bring his luggage and the carriage with the music and dance class back to his house, and wait for him.

He will be settled after he returns from the palace.

Pang Hui took the order and left. Wei Xian, Gao Sheng and others rode their war horses and followed Qin Jun Yingsi's chariot all the way to the Qin Palace.

Qin Jun's chariot is pulled by six pure white horses, almost the same height, fat and thin. Four horses are in front, and two horses are sitting upright and one behind. The horses' heads and bodies are covered with dark and shiny armor.

Majestic.

On both sides of the Xianyang streets, a large number of people had already gathered to watch. They were separated by three or four feet by the Qin Imperial Guards who maintained order. People saw Qin Jun's chariot and Wei Xian and others riding horses, and they were excited

There was a lot of noise and cheers.

Su Qin saw that the people of Qin spontaneously and warmly welcomed the returning Qin army, and admired their unity. There must be brave men under heavy rewards. The people of Qin all have the desire to make achievements. When they go to the battlefield, who is not a brave soldier.

Su Qinxin said: "The strength of the Qin State is not only due to the right time and location, but also to people and people. No wonder Senior Brother Sun Bin said that. It seems to be a solid fact."

Su Qin followed Wei Xuan and arrived at Xianyang Palace in less than an hour. It lay in the north of the city and stood high on a terrace. Looking down at the flowing water of the Wei River, the high-rise buildings were majestic and magnificent, as if they were showing

In line with Qin's ambition to dominate the world.

Su Qin and others stepped across the long and wide steps and walked to the side hall of Xianyang Palace, where Qin Jun Yingsi had already held a banquet.

Ning Jun and Su Qin were not qualified enough to enter the palace and have a meal with Lord Qin, so they waited under the corridor outside the palace. Lord Qin and Wei Xian entered the palace and sat down in order of honor, while the ladies of the palace came and went.

, serving dishes and pouring wine, the monarch and his ministers chatted happily.

Wei Xun's expedition lasted more than half a year, from winter to summer in previous years. He killed Wei General Long Qie at Anmen on the west bank of the Yellow River, captured Shaoliang, and then crossed the Yellow River to besiege Wei's old city.

Duquwo.

Although he failed to capture Quwo in the end, his achievements were unprecedented. The Lord of Qin particularly appreciated Wei Han, and he also expected Wei Han to capture more cities from the eastern princes. Therefore, he was extremely polite and put down his identity as a king.

He frequently raised his glass and drank with Wei Xian.

Since Wei Han was captured into the Qin Dynasty more than ten years ago, he has been treated very generously by Qin Xiaogong and the current Qin Jun. In the past, because of the gratitude in his heart, Wei Han was willing to live and die for Qin.

However, this time when they hit Wei's hometown, they had an unforgettable kinship with the country of their ancestral home, and the execution of Qin Jun Yingsi's orders was also compromised.

After all, Wei Xuan was a native of the Wei State. No matter how favored he was, he could not become a native of the Qin State. Moreover, it was a coincidence that he was reunited with his children this time, so he was even more determined to leave.

Wei Xuan had been silently reciting the words of retiring and returning home in his heart, but because Qin Jun Yingsi was so diligent in celebrating his victory, he could not say it out loud.

After drinking more than a dozen glasses of wine, Wei Xuan thought of interceding for Su Qin, and was afraid that it would be too late if he didn't speak up. So, while drinking, he looked at Qin Jun and loudly reported: "Do you know that you are with me today?"

Also coming to the palace is Mr. Guigu’s disciple Su Qin? He is currently with His Highness.”

In fact, when Qin Jun first met Gao Sheng, he always wanted to ask him about the capture of Mr. Guigu, but because Wei Han had made outstanding contributions, he wanted to give Wei Han enough face first, so he refrained from asking.
