Chapter 204

Sealing Langjuxu!

For any Huaxia military general, it is the highest pursuit.

Even.

The position of Duke pursued by Great Ming military generals is not worth mentioning before Sealing Langjuxu.

The position of Duke is the authority of one dynasty, wealth and glory.

And Sealing Langjuxu is the merit of ten thousand generations, the name of ten thousand generations, forever preserved in history.

Now.

Zhu Ying, following the former Champion Marquis Huo Qubing, became the second Huaxia military general to create the merit of Sealing Langjuxu. One can imagine what kind of sensation his prestige and name would cause after returning to Great Ming.

"How is this possible?"

"How did he do it?"

"Broke the Yuan army? And captured the Yuan Emperor?"

"He only has 50,000 troops!"

"The Yuan court already knew the clear troop strength, and even if they were stupid, they could have mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to encircle and ambush."

"How could they be so stupid? And actually let Zhu Ying succeed?"

"Broke the Yuan army, broke the royal court, captured the Yuan Emperor, Sealing Langjuxu!"

"What... what kind of great merit is this?"

Zhu Di was also stunned at this moment, completely stunned.

Even him.

Could not imagine that Zhu Ying could really return successfully.

Even him.

After Zhu Ying went deep into the Northern Frontier, he thought Northern Yuan would annihilate Zhu Ying and his army, and even if there were survivors, they would be very few lucky ones.

But the result now is that Zhu Ying has returned in triumph!

And it is a triumphant return with a great victory over Northern Yuan and the capture of the Yuan Emperor.

He has become the second military general in Huaxia history to Seal Langjuxu.

Such honor.

Will establish Zhu Ying's name as invincible in the future, making it so that no other military general in the Great Ming dynasty can compare to his prestige.

And.

This prestige is even greater than when Zhu Ying broke the Yuan capital, and greater than the prestige of being named Champion Marquis.

The four words "Sealing Langjuxu" are not only glory, but also the greatest protective talisman for a military general.

No matter which emperor is on the throne.

As long as Zhu Ying does not rebel, the emperor will not dare to kill him.

Because once he kills him.

He will bear the crime of being a foolish ruler like the one who killed Yue Fei on trumped-up charges, and his name will stink for ten thousand years.

Furthermore.

For Zhu Di.

He already knew Zhu Ying's identity, and knew even more clearly that if Zhu Ying's identity were made public in the future, his position would be as stable as Mount Tai.

"Lost."

"Completely lost."

"No one can kill him anymore."

"In the future, perhaps I should put away thoughts I shouldn't have."

"Unless I wait until Father Emperor passes away, and wait until Eldest Brother's fate ends; by then, if Zhu Ying's identity has not been discovered, perhaps there will be a chance," Zhu Di thought to himself.

At this moment.

He already had thoughts of retreating.

At least for now, he would not have any opportunity to do anything.

And beside him, Zhu Quan, with an excited expression, shouted loudly: "The merit of Sealing Langjuxu."

"Our Great Ning Commander Zhu Ying, Champion Hou Zhu Ying."

"The merit of Sealing Langjuxu."

"Great."

Zhu Quan shouted excitedly.

At this moment, his mood was also particularly excited.

"Where is the Champion Marquis now?" Guo Ying suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked Liu Lei hurriedly.

"Reporting to the Grand General."

"The Champion Marquis is only a few miles from the Great Wall."

"Subordinate was sent ahead to report the news," Liu Lei replied with a smile.

"Good, good, very good."

"The Northern Expedition has truly succeeded."

"The first merit belongs to the Champion Marquis," Guo Ying's old face was filled with excitement, and he nodded repeatedly.

Although he did not personally participate in this deep penetration into the Northern Frontier, as the Grand General commanding the troops this time, his name would also be recorded in history in the future; for Guo Ying, this was naturally extremely important.

And after this time.

He would also be able to be enfeoffed as a Duke.

For him, who longed to be promoted to Duke, this naturally goes without saying.

"Transmit this General's order."

"Let the soldiers on the Great Wall come down and prepare to welcome our Great Ming's triumphant army."

"Also, let the kitchen army bury pots and cook rice, and prepare fine wine."

"Today, the Champion Marquis has returned in triumph, and our Great Ming has achieved a great victory over Northern Yuan."

"The prohibition on alcohol can be lifted."

"This General will personally reward these returning warriors."

"Go quickly."

Guo Ying turned his head and shouted to the commander of the personal guard behind him.

"Subordinate obeys."

The commander of the personal guard responded with equal excitement and immediately turned to prepare.

Afterward.

On the Great Wall, many soldiers came down one after another, lining up at the pass gate, preparing to welcome the return of the triumphant army.

When the news came.

These soldiers who participated in the Northern Expedition naturally shared the glory.

These battle results also had a share of theirs.

Or rather, every one of the 300,000 soldiers who set out on this expedition had a share.

Time gradually passed.

North of the Great Wall.

The earth began to tremble violently.

Even the Great Wall had a slight tremor.

Looking from afar.

Countless Great Ming battle flags fluttered in the wind, appearing on the horizon.

Gradually.

Beneath the battle flags, more and more cavalry rushed over.

The leading general.

Riding a black sweat-blood horse, wearing red armor, holding a tiger-headed saber, with infinite power.

Behind him, every soldier was murderous, revealing an invisible, solemn, and killing power; even just rushing over from the north, it was as if there was endless killing intent, and the power of slaughter swept toward the earth.

This army.

After this Northern Expedition battle, the battle of Sealing Langjuxu, can definitely be called the number one strong army of Great Ming.

And it is a strong army that no one can question.

"They are here."

Zhu Quan looked at the distance excitedly, his face full of expectation.

The great hero Zhu Ying who Sealed Langjuxu, the army that Sealed Langjuxu, is about to return.

Not only him.

At this moment, the soldiers lining up in the Great Wall were also full of expectation.

Zhu Ying!

A hero who deserves the name, a hero of Great Ming, a hero of Huaxia.

"Zhu Ying."

Zhu Di looked at the distance with a complex gaze; for him, there was an uncomfortable feeling of being defeated in his heart, and this kind of defeat, he dared not vent in any way.

Because once it appeared, it would be total destruction.

Finally.

As the sound of horses' hooves grew louder.

Zhu Ying arrived at the Great Wall gate first.

When he was less than a few dozen steps from the Great Wall gate, Zhu Ying pulled on the reins, stopped moving forward, and at the same time raised the battle saber in his hand, and the soldiers behind him also stopped one after another. Pulling on the reins, standing with sabers.

Just standing still, that invisible murderous intent swept through the inside and outside of the Great Wall.

Infinite power, infinite murderous intent.

And they were not enemies, but the army belonging to Great Ming, the army of Huaxia.

"They are truly our Great Ming's invincible army, the strongest army!"

Guo Ying looked at this army that had experienced the most cruel months of war in the Northern Frontier, and emotion surged in his heart.

From Zhu Ying, and from the countless soldiers behind Zhu Ying, Guo Ying could see the hardship and cruelty of this Northern Frontier conquest.

From Zhu Ying, covered in blood, his battle armor and robes were all covered in blood, and his face was the same.

Before Zhu Ying set out for the Northern Frontier, he didn't have much of a beard, but now he was unshaven.

Not only Zhu Ying.

Every soldier behind him was the same, covered in blood; even from a few dozen steps away, one could smell the pungent blood and fishy stench on them.

Nearly three months!

Galloping on the land of the Northern Frontier, without even a chance to bathe, one can imagine how much these soldiers on the expedition endured.

"Great Ming, finally back."

Looking at the Great Wall that had been repaired, and the Great Ming flags flying on the Great Wall, for Zhu Ying, there was also an indescribable sense of closeness.

In a foreign land for so long.

He has finally returned.

And.

He also brought back more than 80 percent of his brothers.

This is something Zhu Ying is proud of.

50,000 brothers, slaughtering in the foreign land of the Northern Frontier for nearly three months, with over 80 percent surviving; one can imagine what kind of great victory this is.

"Brothers."

"I, Zhu Ying, have brought you home."

Zhu Ying turned his head, raised the battle saber in his hand, used all his strength, and shouted loudly.

At this moment.

This sound.

It was as if Zhu Ying had fulfilled his own responsibility, fulfilled the promise he made to his soldiers before he set out.

He, Zhu Ying.

Would do his best to bring his brothers home.

He, Zhu Ying, did it.

And after Zhu Ying's soldiers heard their general's words, everyone excitedly raised the weapons in their hands and shouted loudly.

"We are home."

"Home."

"Great Ming for ten thousand generations, Huaxia for ten thousand generations."

"Brothers, we are home."

"Finally back."

"Hahaha."

"We slaughtered into the heartland of the Northern Frontier, captured the Yuan Emperor, broke the Yuan army, the General led us to complete a merit of the ages, we are alive and home."

"Home..."

Every soldier looked at the Great Wall ahead, looked at the territory of Great Ming inside the Great Wall, all were extremely excited, all were shouting loudly, all seemed to have ten thousand feet of heroic spirit, all had a love for Great Ming, for this land of Huaxia.

They set out for the country, set out for Huaxia.

This time.

They have returned in triumph.

Seeing this scene.

On the Great Wall, inside the Great Wall.

Including Guo Ying.

Everyone's expression revealed a complexity.

They were proud from the bottom of their hearts that these Northern Expedition soldiers could return in triumph, but watching these Northern Expedition soldiers shouting at the top of their lungs, they also seemed to feel their longing for Great Ming, for returning home.

This kind of thing.

Only those in the military can empathize with.

"Soldiers of Great Ming guarding the Great Wall."

"Respectfully welcome our heroes who broke Northern Yuan in the Northern Expedition, home."

Guo Ying's expression was solemn; even though he was old, he also let out a roar that resounded in all directions.

The sound fell.

On the Great Wall.

Inside the Great Wall.

Every soldier guarding there used their reverence for the heroes, their respect for the brothers who lived and died together, and shouted in unison: "Respectfully welcome the Northern Expedition heroes, home!"

"Respectfully welcome the Northern Expedition heroes, home..."

The voices of tens of thousands of soldiers combined, like rolling thunder, in the northernmost part of this Huaxia territory, in the northernmost part of the Great Ming dynasty, resounded through the sky and the void, resounded through the universe of the earth.

At this moment.

Their voices made every returning soldier feel a longing for home.

"This is the military."

"This is the soldier of our Huaxia."

Feeling the rolling sincerity coming from inside the Great Wall, Zhu Ying's heart was also full of emotion.

Afterward.

Zhu Ying put down the battle saber, then took a package from his back, held it up with both hands, with a solemnity, with a respect.

"Brothers."

"Let the brothers who died in battle go home first," Zhu Ying said with a sorrow, with a wish to bring the soldiers home, shouting loudly.

As Zhu Ying's voice fell.

They saw thousands of soldiers in the front line put down their weapons, put the weapons behind the horses, and then all solemnly took the cloth packages from their backs, all solemnly held them up, extremely solemn.

These packages!

Were not anything else.

Each package represented the bones of a comrade who set out on the Northern Expedition, died for the country, and died for Huaxia.

In the land of the Northern Frontier.

Zhu Ying could not bring their bodies back intact; Zhu Ying could only burn their bodies, turn them into bones, bring them back to Great Ming, and bring them home.

Inside each package were their comrades and brothers, the heroic souls who died in a foreign land.

Inside each package, it carried the heroic spirits of these comrades.

In the past.

Zhu Ying had promised every soldier that he would bring them home, would try his best to let every soldier live to go home, but also guaranteed that if they died in a foreign land, Zhu Ying would also bring their heroic souls home.

Even Zhu Ying himself.

Had also told his soldiers that if he unfortunately died in the Northern Frontier, he would let his brothers bring his bones home for burial.

And today.

Is the day Zhu Ying fulfills his promise.

The living, go home.

The dead, souls return.

"Souls, return, souls, return!"

Zhu Ying shouted loudly, and following this, the Wu Feng beneath him slowly moved toward the pass gate inside the Great Wall.

"Souls, return."

"Souls, return..."

Behind Zhu Ying.

Every soldier used the greatest strength of their lives, shouting loudly.

Thousands of soldiers holding the packages of heroic bones also gently shook their stirrups, and the war horses also slowly moved forward toward the inside of the Great Wall.

The heroic souls return first.

The living soldiers bring up the rear.

"Heroic souls."

Guo Ying stared at this scene, and his heart was also indescribably moved, but more of it was a kind of sorrow.

Afterward.

Guo Ying turned to the side, not blocking Zhu Ying's path, but shouted loudly: "Respectfully welcome our Great Ming's heroic souls to return."

"Souls, return."

"Souls, return..."

Inside and outside the Great Wall.

Every soldier let out the sound of souls returning.

At this moment.

The joy of the great victory was diluted a bit, replaced by an indescribable sorrow.

Zhu Ying, eyes filled with tears.

Behind him, every soldier's eyes were filled with tears.

They have returned.

But some soldiers, some comrades and brothers, will never be able to return.

Forever left in a foreign land.

"War."

"Military."

"Comrades."

"Perhaps... I understand."

"Perhaps Father Emperor letting me come to the Northern Frontier was to let me truly see what it means to protect the home and country, to see what it means to be a man's responsibility."

Zhu Quan stared at the soldiers gradually approaching the pass gate, and the heroic bones they held in their hands; for him, this was clearly also a kind of impact.

At this moment.

He seemed to understand.

Even Zhu Di.

At this moment was the same.

The true military affection, how could he not understand?

But, he had already done unforgivable things.
