Chapter 224 Buffer

Tuoba Kui finally withdrew from the army, but at this time, his alliance with the State of Yan had not been signed.

But he had to leave, because the grassland was devastated, the soldiers' homes were destroyed, family displacement and other unfavorable news spread in the camp. If he didn't leave, I'm afraid the soldiers would mutiny.

It is said that the Yan army still had a fighting power at this time, but now they have been beaten into a frightened bird by Tuoba, and they dare not take advantage of this opportunity to chase Tuoba.

Lu Qiang thought, but he didn't have that strength. He could only watch Tuoba Kui lead the army to retreat. What worries Lu Qiang most now is Deng Xiang's 5,000 lonely army.

The grassland was made into a mess by Deng Xiang and others. Tuoba Kui now has the mind to drink their blood, and he led the army back in peace. How could he not send troops to contain them? Can Deng Xiang and the others return safely?

However, Lu Qiang has lost contact with Deng Xiang and others at this time. Even if he wants to respond, there is no way to start, so he can only wait.

Murong Yun listened to Feng Hong's report that Lu Qiang did not want anything. He only hoped that after setting up a buffer zone between the two countries, he felt ashamed and a little sorry. Almost without thinking, he immediately agreed to this request and sent Feng Hong to deal with the matter with the full power, so as to achieve Lu Qiang's satisfaction.

This is also a disguised compensation! He did not hesitate to ask Lu Qiang for Sun Hu. In fact, he almost forgot who Sun Hu was.

So Sun Hu changed into a minister of the Jin Dynasty, full-time responsible for negotiating buffer zone matters with the State of Yan.

After finishing this, Lu Qiang is ready to lead the army to return triumphantly. He has been out for nearly two months. Regardless of state affairs, several women in the family are about to give birth. He must rush back as soon as possible.

As Duan Zichang said, on the day Lu Qiang wanted to leave, the people of the whole Shangdang County were dispatched to send them to the emperor of Jin, who rescued them and gave them hope.

This is still a long time ago, otherwise someone will really follow Lu Qiang.

Lu Qiang's gold helmet and silver armor, stepped down the red rabbit horse, walked in front of the army, and waved to the people around him from time to time. Behind him were three thousand iron riders with a strict military appearance and murderous atmosphere.

The iron hoofs echoed around the people's cheers. Suddenly, I don't know who took the lead, and the people knelt down in pieces.

At first, Lu Qiang was not without showing off, but as he felt the sincere feelings of the people, his heart was also deeply touched.

As he walked, his hand suddenly stretched out and stopped first. The three thousand iron riders behind him also stood together, moving neatly and uniformly, as if they were a whole.

"Fathers and fellow villagers of the Upper Party, you treat me so well that I am moved and ashamed. Please be worshipped by me."

Lu Qiang said, bowing to the people around him on horseback, and then said loudly, "No matter which country, in fact, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang. We Han people have a saying that one side is in trouble and all sides will support us. I am here to solemnly promise you that no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, the great power of the State of Jin The door is always open to you."

"Hold..."

I don't know who took the lead first, and the grateful people also shouted, and for a while, the sound spread from afar.

If this scene is seen by Murong Yunjunchen, he will faint. How can emperors of other countries have such a reputation in their own countries? I don't know if they should fall asleep?

After saying this, Lu Qiang urged the war horse again and took the lead in beating the horse. The iron horse rolled all the way to the distance.

In fact, such a big scene is due to the voluntariness of the people, and naturally there is no shortage of fanning by Duanzi's confidants. He just wanted to let the people in Yan know that there was a Han emperor who loved them in the south.

With the end of this war, in addition to the ruined Yan Kingdom, Lu Qiang and Tuoba Miao fought as they wished. Although they did not win or lose, they also had some understanding of each other.

The most lost thing is Yao Xing. This guy has been thinking about getting a cup of the cup in this war, but neither Lu Qiang nor Tuoba Kui has hurt his muscles and bones, making his wishful thinking completely fail.

He wanted to take the opportunity to grab some territory of the State of Yan, but he soon gave up this idea. Not to mention whether Lu Qiang would help the State of Yan again, he heard that Tuoba Kui also signed a covenant with Murong Yun.

In case his invasion of the State of Yan angered the two big tigers and joined hands to deal with him, he would go.

So Yao Xing quickly quietly dismissed the gathered people again.

It didn't take long for him to hear that there was a team of Wei troops entering the border, but this team of Wei soldiers was very strange, that is, they did not attack the city and plunder the land, nor did they harm the people. After grabbing the supply of the government, they left and disappeared until the border between Qin and Yan.

Someone pretended to be Wei Bing's news of making waves on the grassland. Someone had already reported it to Yao Xing. He didn't believe that this group was the Yan army. Like Tuoba Kui thought, he was sure that these were the Jin army.

In line with the mentality that it is better to make friends than to offend others, he simply ignored it, as if nothing had happened.

And this group of people is naturally Deng Xiang and his party.

In the past month's trip to the grassland, there were only more than 3,000 warriors left when they came back, and half of them were injured, which shows the danger of this trip.

However, despite the great loss, Deng Xiang and others are still in a very good mood. Not to mention that they have completed the task well, they also have a detailed understanding of the geographical situation, customs and customs of the grassland, laying a solid foundation for the future expedition to the grassland.

Deng Xiang knew that Tuoba gui would definitely send troops to contain them, so the original road could not be taken, so he led people to change the route, broke into the territory of Qin, and then turned to the State of Yan, eat, drink and spend the night all the way, and finally successfully fled into the State of Yan. Tuoba's plan to encircle and suppress them was also completely failed.

At this time, although the Wei army had retreated, the Yan army had not fully recovered the lost land, so after taking off the Wei army's clothing, Deng Xiang and others galloped all the way and finally caught up with the strong army waiting for them in Luoyang.

Lu Qiang deliberately abducted Luoyang. Murong Yun has agreed to set up Luoyang as a buffer zone, and all the Yan troops withdrew to the north. Although the war was lively, the war did not burn Luoyang, so the city was not damaged at all.

Lu Qiang stationed his army outside the city, only took Sun Hu and more than a dozen bodyguards, and served in Luoyang City. You should know that his ancestors were determined to be here. In his heart, he had a special feeling for this place.

Luoyang was once regarded as the capital by the Western Jin Dynasty, and all facilities are very perfect.

The wide moat me turns in front of the city, and the majestic wall extends to both sides. There is no end at a glance. There are all kinds of protective facilities such as corner towers and watchtowers on the wall.

It's really difficult to understand that Murong has abandoned such a majestic city. In that regard, it is more suitable to be a capital than Zhongshan.

I don't know if this is Lu Qiang's blessing or Murong's sadness.

The army has withdrawn, and the government officials guarded the gate. In the endless crowd, Lu Qiang's posture is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, but when Lu Qiang and his party came over, one of the yamen first recognized Sun Hu.

"Isn't this Lord Sun? What brings you here?"

When Sun Hu was an official in Luoyang, he had always had a good reputation and was loved by the local people.

Sun Hu nodded and said, "Fa by here, go in and have a look. Is that the adult in charge now?"

What he said was actually forced to ask on behalf of Lu. After all, he is now a minister of Jin.

Hearing Sun Hu's question, a trace of anger flashed on the servant's face, but he soon calmed down and forced a smile, "Lord Sun, please, where the little man's responsibilities are, so I won't talk with you."

Lu Qiang gently touched Sun Hu, who wanted to ask again. There were many people here, not a place to ask questions.

Sun Hu reacted and followed Lu Qiang to the city.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, since Murong Yun agreed to set this place as a buffer zone, should we also send an official to station here?"

In fact, Lu Qiang also thought about this problem just now, but he didn't want to jointly manage Luoyang with Murong Yun, but to take over it completely.

"Hehe! I think the people here miss you very much! How about you managing this?"

"Me? But..."

Sun Hu understands Lu Qiang's mind, and once this place becomes the capital again, he can imagine his power as the chief official here, which is undoubtedly like a pie falling from the sky for a person like him who has committed a great crime.

Through this period of observation, Sun Hu knew that Lu Qiang was not a lightly promised emperor. Now that the emperor has said so, he has been appointed.

For a moment, Sun Hu's heart suddenly had the impulse to die as a confidant.

Lu Qiang waved his hand and said to Sun Hu as he walked: "The so-called buffer zone is just for the military and civilians of the State of Yan. I will send a thousand soldiers to you. You change them into servistry clothes. Do you understand what I mean?"

After listening to Lu Qiang's words, Sun Hu seemed to understand and said, "What about the officials of the State of Yan here?"

Lu Qiang looked at the shops on both sides of the street and said, "You can find the government officials at the gate later. Let's find a place to talk first, and then make plans."

This time, Sun Hu understood what Lu Qiang meant and quickly bowed down and agreed.

The group walked around the street under the guidance of Sun Hu before choosing a high-end restaurant to walk in.

Before lunch, there were not many guests in the restaurant. When the clerk saw a group of extraordinary guests coming in, he immediately ran over.

"Six distinguished guests, please go upstairs. I'll keep a few of you in the single room upstairs!"

When you see what someone says, you have always been a good at it, especially when you see the familiar Sun Hu with the tall young man, you feel that you are not an ordinary person.

Lu Qiang seldom comes to such a place. Hearing what the buddy said was interesting, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you know us?"

Before the man was waiting for an answer, someone suddenly said strangely, "Ouch! Isn't this Lord Sun? What! The official has been reinstauted?"

Lu Qiang turned his head and looked at the sound and saw a white teenager coming with two strong men with frowns.
