Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 122 Triumph
A huge army stretched for hundreds of miles, galloping towards Seoul.Xiao He took Cao Can, Shen Wansan, Yu Wenkai and the officials of Seoul to stand outside the city gate and look forward to it.

The figure of Zhao Wuming riding a war horse gradually became clear, followed by Zhang Liang, Han Xin and other generals.

When Xiao He and the others saw Zhao Wuming approaching on a war horse, they bowed and said, "Welcome my lord to return in triumph."

"Welcome the city lord and return in triumph."The officials in Seoul hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Zhao Wuming pulled the reins, the horses stopped and the army stopped moving forward: "Everyone, please stand up."

"Thank you, my lord, the city lord."Xiao He led all the officials to stand up straight.

Zhao Wuming turned his head and looked behind him. Han Xin and other generals said, "Put the army to the barracks."

"promise".Han Xin and other generals took orders on their horses and led the army towards the barracks through the remaining gates.

Seeing the soldiers entering the city in an orderly manner, Zhao Wuming got off his horse and said, "Seoul will be fine if I'm not here for a while."

"Everything is as usual. Now that the war is over, shall we immediately send officials to accept the tribes in the central grassland?"Xiao He asked Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming nodded slightly: "This place is not a place to discuss government affairs. After the army settles down, immediately go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss matters."

"promise".Xiao He bowed, then turned to look at the officials.

The officials seemed to have been ordered, and they left one after another to help the generals settle down with the soldiers.

Zhao Wuming saw all the officials dispersed, immediately got on his horse, slapped the horse's back and galloped towards the city lord's mansion.

There were constant cheers in the city, Zhao Wuming didn't stay too long, and went to the city lord's mansion in a short time.

Strange to say, for some reason, the system did not prompt the battlefield status to be released.Is there something wrong here? .Thinking of this, Zhao Wuming stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, and immediately looked at a servant: "Do you know where the Xiongnu Youxian King is?"

"Report to the city lord, the right wise king of the Xiongnu is in the mansion, in the east wing room."The servant hurriedly reported back.

After Zhao Wuming listened, he went directly to the East Wing.

In the East Wing, the Xiongnu Youxian King held the bamboo slips in his hand and watched carefully. Zhao Wuming was slightly taken aback when he saw it, and then bowed and said: "Zhao Wuming, the Lord of Seoul, has seen You Xianwang."

"Luan Tilou has seen the city lord, and the prisoner can't afford the city lord's gift."Luan Tilou put down the bamboo slips and stood up from his seat, and saluted Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming smiled: "Your Majesty, you can live safely in the city during this time."

"Eat and drink without worries, how can you be insecure."Luan Tilou didn't seem to hear the words, and answered Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming didn't care too much: "General You's troops have surrendered, and now the central grassland belongs to our city of Seoul. I don't know how the virtuous king feels about it."

"The right general surrendered?".Luan Tilou thought for a moment that he had heard wrong.

Zhao Wuming explained to Luan Tilou: "There is no food and grass inside, and no reinforcements outside. The family members of 15 soldiers are in the hands of our army. General You didn't want to surrender at first, but it's a pity that his subordinates remonstrated with him, so there is nothing he can do about it."

"Admonishment? The arrival of the city lord shouldn't be just to show off his martial arts, right?"Luan Tilou recovered from his daze, and asked Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming stopped talking about other things, and went straight to the topic: "I don't know if the letter from the virtuous king has been sent to the royal court."

"After calculating the time, the reply letter should be coming soon."There was a confident smile on the corner of Luan Tilou's mouth, and it was really for this matter that he came here in a hurry.

Zhao Wuming made up his mind: "General You is outside the city, if King Xian wants to find him to reminisce about the past, he can go to the outer city to find him."

"The king happens to be fine, I wonder if the city lord can send someone to take the king to find General You."When Luan Tilou heard Zhao Wuming mention the right general, his heart moved slightly.

Zhao Wuming nodded, and ordered to the outside: "Come here, take You Xianwang to the outer city, and look for You General."

"promise".Two personal guards walked in, bowed to Zhao Wuming, and then pointed outside.

Luan Tilou understood, turned around and followed the guards to go outside.

The sound of footsteps came, and Sun Buer hurried over, holding bamboo slips in his hand: "My lord, the letter of the Xiongnu".

"credentials?".Zhao Wuming was taken aback, and quickly opened the bamboo slips, showing surprise for a long time: "Has the envoy of the Huns arrived outside the city?".

"More than a hundred Huns envoys are outside the city."Sun Buer reported back to Zhao Wuming.

Just as Zhao Wuming was about to speak, footsteps sounded again, and a personal guard came over: "The prime minister and the general are waiting in the government affairs hall."

"Gu go to the government affairs hall now."Zhao Wuming picked up the bamboo slips and walked towards the government affairs hall.

As soon as he walked into the government affairs hall, he saw Xiao He, Han Xin and others standing on both sides, divided into civil and military.

Zhao Wuming sat on the main seat and looked at everyone with puzzled eyes.

"My lord, the envoy of the Huns has arrived, I don't know how we should arrange it."Seeing that Zhao Wuming was puzzled, Xiao He immediately asked.

Zhao Wuming thought for a while, and looked at Lan Zhengqing: "I heard you say that you are from the Lan family of the Xiongnu, I don't know if it is true."

"The last general is the offshoot of the Lan family."Lan Zhengqing heard the question and answered respectfully.

Zhao Wuming opened the bamboo slips in his hand again: "The Huns' national records say that the envoys this time are from the Lan family. Gu is very curious about the status of the Lan family in the Huns."

"The three great families of Huyan, Xubu, and Lan are very powerful, and they often marry with Shanyu's Luanti family. Therefore, the status of these three families in the clan is second only to Luanti's."Lan Zhengqing slowly explained to Zhao Wuming.

Xiao He listened and pondered, and couldn't help interjecting to ask: "Apart from the three major families of Huyan, Xubu, and Lan, among the Xiongnu, are there any other rich families?"

"No, except for these three major families, the rest dare not be called rich."Lan Zhengqing shook her head and explained to Xiao He.

Zhao Wuming put away the bamboo slips, looked at Lan Zhengqing: "In this way, your status among the Huns is relatively high."

"Although the last general was born in the Lan family, he was a side branch. His mother was Zhao's daughter who Lou Fan paid tribute to Shan Yu, and Shan Yu gave it to my father. My father passed away a year ago, and the eldest son took his place and married me. He was afraid that I would hold a grudge, so my elder brother kicked me to the grassland in the middle of the country, threatening my mother with my life."Although Lan Zhengqing spoke very plainly, she couldn't hide the anger in her heart.

Zhao female?Zhao Wuming suddenly developed a sense of intimacy towards Lan Zhengqing: "You said your mother is a daughter of Zhao Guo."

"My mother is an ordinary woman in Dai County of Zhao State. She could have lived a happy life. But because Lou Fan went south, she was taken captive to the north. My elder brother opposed me everywhere. My mother. This matter was regarded as a great shame by the last general."Lan Zhengqing tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and explained to Zhao Wuming.

Hearing this grievance, Zhao Wuming made a decision in his heart: "Gu is originally from Zhao, since your mother and Gu belong to the same family, why don't you go to replace Gu and take over the envoys of the Huns."

"promise".Lan Zhengqing bowed to Zhao Wuming, turned around and walked outside.Zhao people?Unexpectedly, the lord of the city is actually Zhao people. It turns out that this is a country of Zhao people.Thinking of my mother, I also have a sense of identity with Seoul.
