Straight man of steel

Chapter 224 Homecoming

At dawn the next day, more than 2000 soldiers of the gate army had packed up their luggage to take back.

The camp here was left to the remaining Han troops to deal with.

There were 3000 people when they came, but only more than 2000 when they left.

The soldiers of the Qimen Army all engraved their lives on the wooden plaques, and the nameplates of the dead would be taken back and handed over to their relatives.

Han Anguo and others in this group also have to go on the road with Qimen Army.

Facts have proved that the army of the Han Dynasty can still function normally without these generals. The Sima of each army became the actual commander of the army after the general handed over the tiger talisman.

After Zhang Yuan rode on the horse, he took out the scroll and carefully studied the papermaking technique, trying to understand the principle.

The rest of the people marched on their own, and Wei Qing didn't bother Zhang Yuan when he saw that Zhang Yuan was watching seriously.

Sometimes when he saw obsession, the war horse stopped and Zhang Yuan didn't even notice it.

In other words, the accompanying army was the Qimen army, which made everyone avoid it, and there were no surprises.

There are as many as four kinds of papermaking techniques recorded on the scroll. Although the process seems to be almost the same, the final paper is different.

After studying on the horse for a whole day, Zhang Yuan finally decided on the direction.

Zhang Yuan intends to specialize in the manufacturing process of bamboo paper.

The process of papermaking is actually very complicated, and there are so many processes. Even if there is a process on the reel, and the operation is strictly followed, it may not be possible to make good paper.

Just after leaving Shangdang County, passing Wangwu Mountain and entering Hedong County, the visitors from Pingyanghou's Mansion in Chang'an City entered the army to meet Wei Qing.

Of course, not only Wei Qing, several other families also sent people to pass the news to these dignitaries who were about to return to Chang'an in advance.

Except for Zhang Yuan.

It seems that several people who have a particularly strong relationship with Zhang Yuan in the court are now in the Qimen army.

One is Wei Qing, and the other is Chu Da.

It may be because both Ji Fu and Han Anguo had torn faces with Zhang Yuan, the people sent by the prime minister's mansion only went to meet Han Anguo, but did not find Zhang Yuan.

After Qimen Army and his party arrived in Yuan County, they chose to stay outside the city for the night.

After Zhang Yuan set up his camp tent, he wanted to take a look at papermaking again. Just lying on his side on the bed, a Qimen soldier shouted from outside the tent.

"Chang Shi, the general asked you to come over, saying that there is something important to discuss."

Although Zhang Yuan has resigned now, the army still calls Zhang Yuan this way.

"Okay, I see, you wait outside the account first."

Zhang Yuan hurriedly got up and hid the scroll, then went out of the military tent to meet Wei Qing with the soldier.

Presumably, the visitor from the Pingyang Hou Mansion brought some terrible news during the day.

Wei Qing's tent is very close to Zhang Yuan's, just a few steps away.

When Zhang Yuan opened the curtain and walked in, he saw a smile on Wei Qing's face.

"Brother Yuan, you are here."

Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded, it seems that the news from Chang'an is a good thing.

"What news came from Princess Pingyang that made you so happy?"

As soon as he asked, Zhang Yuan was pulled by Wei Qing to sit down.

"Although our Han army did not achieve a great victory in this crusade against the Huns, His Majesty reluctantly accepted it.

That's why they didn't listen to Li Xi's words and sent people to investigate the Mayi battle.

The court discussed this battle for several days, and finally decided that Han Anguo had no merit or fault, and the other generals were given rewards.

Wang Hui was posthumously granted the posthumous title of Dashuchang, and his title was inherited by the eldest son of the family, and the funeral was handled according to the standards of Guanneihou. "

Zhang Yuan snorted, and whether the rest of the people are happy or worried has nothing to do with him, he only cares about what rewards the Qimen Army has received.

"What about us?"

Only at this time, Wei Qing's eyes shone with brilliance.

The whole person stood up all of a sudden, and bowed to Zhang Yuan.

"Thanks to Brother Yuan's advice this time, and the previous training period of the door army, I want the younger brother to say that Brother Yuan should be the first in this battle.

Inheriting brotherly favors, His Majesty decided to grant me the title of Marquis of Guannei. Since it is a holy grace, I can only be ashamed to receive it. "

Zhang Yuan also got up and helped Wei Qing, who had bowed ninety degrees, to his feet.

Both of them knew in their hearts that whoever won the title of Marquis of Guannei would be happy in their hearts.

One glory and one glory.

Wei Qing didn't hold back, and Zhang Yuan didn't feel jealous either.

"Young brother, you are now entrusted with the title of marquis, and you have realized your ideals and ambitions. You deserve all of this. You said so much that it made me blush a little."

"Haha, it's not in vain for me to befriend Brother Yuan in this life."

"Don't talk about those nonsense, what about me?"

Zhang Yuan decisively interrupted Wei Qing's next meaningless words.

As a result, Wei Qing patted the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Well, the visitor from the Pingyang Hou Mansion said that His Majesty did not mention you.

I'm also wondering, Gongsun Ao is said to have been named Wei Weicheng, with a rank of Qianshi.

Now he is Li Guang's deputy. Just now I saw him go to Li Guang's military tent outside.

But His Majesty just didn't mention you, Brother Yuan. According to my opinion, when Brother Yuan returns to Chang'an, once the military achievements are settled, His Majesty will definitely use you again. "

Now it seems that the entire Chang'an city has forgotten about Zhang Yuan.

But Zhang Yuan always felt that there was a ghost behind it.

Man, that's how it is sometimes.

Tian Tian didn't want the emperor to miss him, but one day the emperor really stopped thinking about him, but he started to panic again.

"If that's the case, let's do it first.

After returning to Chang'an to report on his work, there must be an explanation. "

Zhang Yuan said flatly.

After all, Wei Qing was able to become a marquis, and Zhang Yuan was very happy in his heart. As long as Wei Qing didn't have any accidents, he lived long enough to protect Zhang Yuan all the time.

"That's natural. If His Majesty doesn't mention it at that time, I will mention it, little brother."

Wei Qing assured Zhang Yuan, patted his chest.

The news in Chang'an City caused some changes in the Qimen army. Li Xi, Li Guang and others were all approaching Wei Qing.

As for Gongsun He, he couldn't close his mouth every day.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the reason why Liu Che made Weiqing Marquis of Guannei was to let everyone in the Han territory see his determination to conquer the Xiongnu and stabilize the northern border as an emperor.

And Wei Qing became the biggest pawn in Liu Che's grand plan.

After the failure of the cooperative battle this time, Liu Che understood a very important thing. In a big battle, the general order must be unified on one person.

At this moment, Wei Zifu is deeply loved by Liu Che, and Ai Wu and Wu Hui have reached Wei Qing.

Liu Che wanted to take care of Wei Qing from the bottom of his heart, but the award must be based on real achievements. This raid on Dragon City made Wei Qing a marquis in one fell swoop.

For the first time in history, Han Anguo went to Wei Qing to have a drink, trying to resolve the conflict between the two.

Wei Qing is a nice guy, as long as he doesn't provoke him, he will be kind to anyone he sees.

So I went directly to Han Anguo's tent to eat that meal.

Afterwards, I immediately told Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan didn't mind.
