Now is considered a war period. In the past, the city gates of Xudu were closed early. But today, as it gets darker, the north gate of the city is still open.
Not only was the city gate open, but there were also a large number of supporters, musicians, and guards lined up.
The king's general Liu Feng personally stood in front of the city gate, looking forward to it. The scene was very spectacular.[
Soon after, the ground began to shake.
Liu Feng's face flashed with excitement and he ordered: "Play music."
"promise."
The polite officer agreed and immediately went down to deliver the order. After a while, melodious music sounded. This was very special music to welcome the general returning from war in triumph.
Soon after, a cavalry troop appeared on the horizon.
A commander's flag with the word "Dong" fluttering in the wind. It was the Han cavalry led by Dong Cheng who had rampaged across Hebei and killed Yan Liang.
The cavalrymen raised their heads and looked in the direction of Xudu, listening to the triumphal music playing in their ears. Their expressions became excited. Being loyal and brave in battle is one thing.
After returning home after making great achievements, the honor given by the court is another thing.
Who doesn’t want to return home in glory and return in triumph?
At this moment, the cavalrymen were all enjoying the music that was playing in the direction of Xudu. The cavalrymen were like this, and so were the generals.
Even Dong Cheng is no exception.
However, as the cavalry approached, Dong Cheng was also shocked when he saw the battle in front of the city gate. The scale of the reception exceeded his official position, that of general of cavalry.
This is clearly a support and etiquette set up for the generals of the DPRK to make a triumphant return.
In addition, one of them surprised Dong Cheng even more.
"Stop." Dong Cheng stretched out his right hand and shouted the word "stop." After a moment, he said to Zhou Chong and other generals on his left and right: "Follow me to see the general."
"Promise." Zhou Chong and other generals also saw Liu Feng and solemnly promised. Then they rode forward with Dong Cheng and came to the front of Liu Feng.
There were still thirty steps away, but Dong Cheng led Zhou Chong and others to dismount from their horses, walked to Liu Feng, bowed down and said, "General Lao is here to greet you personally. The old minister is frightened."
"The general will be frightened at the end." Zhou Chong and others also bowed down.
"The old general and other generals fought bloody battles outside, and sat alone in the city enjoying the dignity of the prince. Now the old general has returned in triumph. He just walked a few more steps and came to the north of the city to greet him. The old general and all the generals do not need to be afraid.
." Liu Feng laughed when he heard this, stepped forward to help Dong Cheng up, and said. [
Although Liu Feng's words were very grand, Dong Cheng still did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool and was very respectful.
The other generals also stood up, and they were all very respectful.
Dong Cheng has done a good job in training them. Although they are unruly and unruly on the outside, they are also respectful and polite on the inside.
Liu Feng glanced at these generals and felt satisfied. Some of these generals may have been promoted to take charge of the newly emerged second battalion of cavalry.
If it is unruly, it will be difficult to handle.
Soon after, Liu Feng put away his thoughts and smiled at Dong Cheng and said: "Let's not dwell on the past for now, the emperor has issued an edict."
Dong Cheng, Zhou Chong and others looked at each other, took a step back without hesitation, knelt down on one knee and accepted the order.
"General Dong Cheng, a powerful bird of prey, led his troops to fight against the Yuan family and shocked the enemy. He was promoted to General of Hussars and opened his mansion. General Zhou Chong, whose bravery was commendable, was promoted to General of Dangkou.
