Chapter 84
After resting in the unnamed valley for one night, the guards went to the unnamed lake to get enough water, and then the army embarked on the return journey.

Oh, right!

The unnamed lake now has a name, and the soldiers of the guard army call him Desheng Lake, because the first victory of the guard army was won here, so in order to commemorate this time, the soldiers named the lake Desheng Lake.

The snow in the sky began to get smaller, maybe because the snow in the sky knew that the guards were going back, so it fell a little smaller on purpose.

Before the army returned, the report on the battle had already been sent back to Yunzhou County.

Two days later, after riding three horses and running for two days and two nights, the Meteor Horse (a common name in the Ming Dynasty for soldiers who conveyed emergency military information to the capital, also called Meteor Horse) finally arrived at the gate of Yunzhou County.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the guards guarding the city yawned and slowly pushed open the city gate, and the people lined up in an orderly manner and began to enter the city after going through inspections one by one.

The city entry inspection in Yunzhou County is not strict. As long as you do not bring contraband or crimes, the guards will let you pass after a second look.

There is no such thing as city entry tax in Yunzhou County.

As for that little money, our Lord Yun doesn't like it at all, and it's easy to get a bad reputation. The officials in the pass care about taking even such a small amount of money, but he, King Yun, doesn't like it.

Therefore, in the first year of taking office, the city entry tax was exempted.

Such an approach will of course offend some vested interest groups, and even the guards guarding the gate will lose some source of income, but Zhao Jun immediately reorganized all the military personnel in the city, and then eliminated the empty pay and the old, the weak and the sick After the remnant, the salary of the guards responsible for patrolling the streets and guarding the city of Marquis Wu also ushered in a substantial increase.

In this way, the soldiers guarding the city naturally had no complaints. This increase in salary was much more than the three melons and two dates given by the officials who paid the city tax every day, and if it was gone, it would be gone.

As for those official vested interest groups, Zhao Jun will let them die!

Even if you don't want to listen to my words after taking my full monthly salary, I'll drag you to the vegetable market!
In this way, the old tradition that has lasted for decades in Yunzhou County, the city entry tax disappeared, and this naturally aroused a burst of praise from the people.

The city gate had just opened for a while, before the people waiting to enter the city had time to line up, suddenly there was a sound of kicking horses in the distance!
Everyone couldn't help looking up, and saw three fast horses galloping towards the official road in the distance.

He could faintly hear the other party yelling loudly, but some of the people couldn't hear clearly, so they all listened carefully, as if they heard something reported or something.

Before they could listen carefully, the other party had already approached, and everyone finally heard clearly what the man riding the three horses was shouting!

"Good news! Good news! Hurry up for [-] miles! Our guards defeated the attacking Tatar tribe at Desheng Lake and killed [-] enemies! The enemy was defeated and fled! We did not leave a single prisoner! The casualties were no more than a hundred! Great victory! Big victory! Big victory!"

The Meteor Horse rushed towards the city gate while shouting.When everyone heard his shout, their brains were bombarded, and then they showed great joy.

The city guards who were startled and stunned hurriedly let the people entering the city clear the way to let the Meteor Horse enter the city, and the Meteor Horse rushed into the city after him, leaving only two exhausted war horses and his rear in place. The back with the emergency military order flag on the back.

As soon as Meteor Horse left, the crowd that had been silent just now exploded!
Everyone cheered excitedly!
The people of Yunzhou County have long received the news that the Tatar tribe has gathered 5 people to invade them. King Yun sent a guard to attack them. Now that the army has returned, it is a big victory. How can everyone not be shocked? !Not happy!

Even the guards guarding the city smiled, and the captain of the guard hurriedly ordered the exhausted war horse to be pulled down and sent back to the barracks to be fed with concentrate.

This is a hero. If it weren't for the two horses who traveled day and night, how could the good news come back so quickly?
Not to mention the commotion caused by the Meteor Horse at the gate of the city, it galloped all the way and shouted all the way into the city, instantly awakening the still somewhat quiet Yunzhou City.

After hearing the news of the victory, the common people smiled, and the merchants lowered their prices to celebrate, and the merchants like wine directly said that they would give away hundreds or thousands of jars of wine for free!
The entire Yunzhou City was caught in a carnival of celebration.

Galloping in the ocean of carnival, Meteor Horse galloped all the way and finally stopped at Yunwang Mansion.

At this time, Zhao Jun had just finished his breakfast of fried dough sticks and soy milk, and was thinking about whether to go fishing for sky fish again, when he suddenly heard the noise from outside.

You must know that this is the palace, covering an area of ​​tens of acres, the entire palace is terrifyingly large, and they are still in the backyard, and they are far away from other residents and streets around them. You can imagine the noise outside. How lively it is.

This situation instantly aroused Zhao Jun's curiosity, and he immediately called Wang Huai'en to let him go out to investigate the situation.

Wang Huai'en took the order to go, but after a while, he trotted back with a smile on his face. Behind him was a young man in the uniform of the guards with a command flag on his back.

As soon as he saw the young man, Zhao Jun recognized him. He was dressed as a guard. Looking at the Ling Qi behind the young man and Wang Huai'en's happy expression, Zhao Jun guessed in his heart.

Sure enough, the two trotted all the way to come to him, when they heard Wang Huai'en can't wait to say: "My lord, good news! Good news!"

Zhao Jun looked at the guy who was so excited that he didn't know what to say with contempt, and pulled him aside to face the young man.

Seeing this, the young man hurriedly stood at attention, gave a military salute to Zhao Jun, and said loudly:
"Scout Zhou Mingshan, directly under the scout battalion of the guard army, has met the prince! The prince is a thousand years old!"

Zhao Jun smiled slightly, patted the young man's shoulder, and said good-bye three times with a warm smile: "Good! Good! Good! This is not in the army, so there is no need to be so polite. Tell me, what kind of military information has come back?" ?”

Seeing Lord Yun patted his shoulder, Zhou Mingshan was so excited that his whole body was trembling, but he also knew that this was not the time to be excited, so he quickly took out the letter of victory written by Ding Hongguang from his bosom, held it above his head with both hands, and handed it to Zhao Jun. passed the past, and said at the same time:

"My lord, it's a victory! Our army defeated the Tatars by the Lake of Victory and beheaded [-] people. Our own casualties were only a few hundred, and among them, only a few dozen died. This is a great victory! This is the victory report written by the Commander-in-Chief. Please take a look!"

Zhao Jun nodded slightly, took the victory report document with a smile, opened it and read it carefully, while Zhou Mingshan silently got up and stood aside without speaking after handing over the victory report document, and waited quietly.

After a long time, a smile appeared on Zhao Jun's face, and finally he finished reading the victory report document in his hand, and couldn't help laughing loudly:

"Hahahaha! Good! Good! This is really a big victory! What a big victory!
The Guards did a great job up and down!Extremely Beautiful!

This king will definitely reward you heavily!

You are well worth the reward! "

An expectant smile appeared on Zhou Mingshan's face.

The great reward that the prince said is really exciting!

……
