"Young Madam, we met Zhang Shuai, Nangong Shuai, and all the generals."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yun glanced sideways at Liu Mingzhi, who was half-lying on the pillow and sleeping soundly.
"Just give them a signal and ask them to continue rushing to the city gate to welcome the return of the Second Route Western Expedition Army."
"yes."
The Ouchi guard who was driving heard Qi Yun's instructions and quickly made several gestures to Zhang Kuang and the others who were about to get off their horses.
Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Yun Chong and the others saw the gestures made by the Ouchi guards and hurriedly stopped their movements as they were about to turn over and dismount.
In just a few breaths, several carriages gradually drove away under the watch of Zhang Kuang and other generals.
"Brothers, let's go and continue to the south gate."
"drive!"
"drive!"
When Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye and his group arrived at the city wall.
On the endless official road outside the city, another ten fast horses galloped straight towards the royal city.
"Report!"
"Report! The army is less than twenty miles away from the royal city."
Hearing the shouts coming from outside the city, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chiezha and the others no longer bothered to chat with Han Peng and hurriedly walked towards the city wall.
"Report! The army is less than twenty miles away from the royal city."
Zhang Kuang withdrew his gaze and turned directly to look at Han Peng, who was standing a few steps away.
"Han Peng, immediately notify the brothers on duty outside the city gate to send the scout brothers to the city wall."
"yes."
Han Peng nodded and immediately leaned forward to look under the city wall.
"Brothers on duty at the city gate, send the little brothers to the city wall immediately."
"Yes, I have the order."
Zhang Kuang looked at Han Peng who had retracted his body, and immediately asked loudly: "Han Peng, where are His Majesty and His Highness King Wuyi?"
Hearing the arrogant question, Han Peng immediately gave him a fist.
"Coming back to the commander-in-chief, Your Majesty, King Wuyi, and Butler Liu are all drunk and have rushed back to the palace to rest."
After learning from Han Peng that Young Master Liu was drunk, Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, and Yunchong all involuntarily frowned.
However, there was no look of surprise on their faces, as if they had known that such a situation would happen.
Nangong Ye and the others looked at each other and sighed in unison.
"Oh, it seems that it is exactly what we expected earlier."
"Brother Zhang, the same goes for you. Why do you insist on mentioning Liu Weng's matter to His Majesty?
If I really want to talk about it in detail, this matter is still your fault!"
"Brother Nangong, please stop talking, I'm almost regretting it now.
Before that, how could I have imagined that His Majesty didn’t know about this matter at all!
I just mentioned it in a hurry, who knew it would end up like this?"
"Okay, okay, brothers, it's too late to say anything now.
Besides, Brother Zhang made an unintentional mistake.
Now that things have happened, there is no point in dwelling on this issue anymore.
I hope your majesty will feel better after getting drunk."
"Oh, I hope so."
While several people were talking, a loud voice suddenly came from the stairs.
"Two marshals, generals, and brothers from the Second Route West Political Army are coming up."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Kuang and others immediately stopped talking and looked towards the stairs.
"You all come here..."
"yes."
Ten young scouts quickly arrived behind Zhang Kuang's group and immediately knelt down on one knee to salute.
"I'm waiting to see the two commanders."
"No more courtesy."
"No need to be polite, just get up."
"Thank you two handsome men."
Zhang Kuang turned around and looked outside the city, and then his eyes fell on Han Peng.
"Han Peng, which batch of scouts is this?"
"Come back to the commander, these ten little brothers are the second batch of scouts."
"Where's the announcement document about the return of Duan Dingbang's class teacher?"
"Go back to the commander-in-chief. Your Majesty has taken the notification document away."
"Have you read the contents of the notification document?"
"Go back to the commander-in-chief. The general has already seen it."
"That's good, that's good. You can tell us briefly about the contents of the notification document."
"Come back to Marshal, Marshal Duan is full of this in his notice..."
Han Peng quickly recounted the contents of the notification document to Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Yunchong, and Wanyan Chizha.
After Nangong Ye, Zhang Kuang and the others listened to Han Peng's story, they immediately looked at each other.
In an instant, these old foxes, big and small, all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"hiss."
Zhang Kuang took a breath and frowned slightly as he looked at Han Peng.
"When the main army returned, it only brought back more than 40,000 people, and 50,000 soldiers were directly stationed in Persia?"
"Go back to Marshal, that little Duan Dingbang... uh huh...
Cough, cough, cough, Marshal Duan said so in the notification document."
Zhang Kuang was silent for a while with a weird look on his face, then turned to look at Nangong Ye and others opposite him and couldn't help but sneer a few times.
"Ha ha ha ha ha.
The first time he led an army to go on an expedition, he dared to station a full 50,000 troops directly in another country's territory.
Damn it, Duan Dingbang is so damn courageous!
Hahaha, this really fits that sentence.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the new generation is better than the old!"
Listening to the arrogant words, it was unclear whether they were sincerely praising Duan Dingbang or had other intentions. Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha, Yunchong and others all frowned slightly.
Nangong Ye raised his hand and stroked the gray beard on his chin, and let out a sigh of relief with a slightly complicated expression.
“Being courageous is indeed quite courageous.
However, while he is courageous, he is also a little reckless.
It was obviously to help other countries put down the rebellion, but in the end, 50,000 troops were stationed in this country.
Considering the current situation in all aspects of Western countries, if his behavior is even slightly deviated, it might be self-defeating!"
Wanyan Chizha heard Nangong Ye's worried tone and narrowed his old eyes slightly.
"From the current overall situation, just stationing troops and horses in other countries will not have much impact for the time being.
To be continued...
