But his Gui Zhang should have died under the horse's hooves, not lying in the soft tent of Song State...~

He once said that he would accompany A Zhan to death, but now, I am afraid that A Zhan is no longer the same A Zhan he used to be, and A Zhan does not want to die, and is also afraid of death.

Guizhang didn't know how to persuade him, and after ten days of hard work, A Zhan finally agreed to Song Guo's request.

Forget it, my ghost chapter will go to Bianliang with A Zhan, for the rest of my life, I can't let anyone insult A Zhan!

That's a reasonable statement.

Chapter 687 Dong Zhan Kneeled

Zhao Xi wanted to meet the Pathfinder team more than meeting Dong Felt.

When Dong felt agreed to enter Bianliang to receive the reward, the imperial court also received a report from the Pathfinder team.

The Pathfinder team crossed Dangjin Mountain in small batches, and also sneaked into the sandbar... In other words, the task of opening and controlling this passage was successfully completed.

Now I am asking the imperial court to inquire whether it is necessary to leave some soldiers on the sandbar, and whether it is necessary to set up a sentry post in Dangjin Mountain...

"It's meaningless to stay on the sandbar. The partial troops sent by the state will use firearms to clear the way, and with a destructive momentum, they will directly pass through the Hexi Corridor, and then the troops will go straight to Xingqing Mansion."

"As for setting up a sentry post at Dangjin Mountain...there is no way to set up a sentry post there. Their report also made it clear that there is no water source at all in a large mountain range. Through the passage of the chariot, there is hardly any place to stand."

"It's better to let them all turn back! This time to explore the road, they need to go to Hehuang to rest and recover, and the medical officer will evaluate the damage to the combat power through this passage."

Zhao Xi knew very well that even in later generations, from Dachaidan to Guyumen Pass, there would be no human habitation along the way.

It is not suitable for human survival at all.

"Guanjia, how to deal with the selection point of the military depot?"

"Give the Hehuang Governor's Mansion discretion! According to the report of the Pathfinder team and the text formed by the imperial court on that area, let Wang Shao and others make reasonable arrangements."

"One thing to be aware of is that I don't want non-combat attrition to happen. Even if it is another bandit suppression next year, I will try not to waste the combat power and lives of the soldiers."

The cabinet led the order to arrange it.

There is another matter that the imperial court should take seriously now, that is, the leaders of many Tubo tribes in the Hehuang area went to Beijing to accept the reward.

This matter was unprecedented for Guochao, and it was the most direct manifestation of Guochao's expansion of territory.This is the first time since the Taizong Dynasty that the country has opened up such a large territory.

In the past, not to mention the people of the imperial court, even the ministers of the imperial court would not have much interest in such a barren land, because the entire imperial court had such a concept at that time.

But now, from the establishment of the manganese mine in Guangnan by the government, to the operation of the copper and iron mine in Dali, and then to the wool textile later, people already know that there is no barren land, the key lies in knowing how to develop it.

Nowadays, even the affluent households in Bianliang have one or two pieces of woolen clothing, and there are many women in Bianliang who work in the wool textile workshops in the workshop city.

Therefore, the people of Bianliang became very interested in the attachment, or surrender, of the Tubo people in the Qingtang and Hehuang areas.

The officials said to give Dong Zhan the highest courtesy, and the Ministry of Rites really followed the highest etiquette.

No ministers in the court objected to Gao Li's reception of Dong Zhan. Who would have known that this was just a name, and it was just the practice of the imperial court's daughter.Even if the imperial court decides to give Dong Zhan the title of Marquis, the courtiers don't mind, because this Marquis may not be comparable to a member of the government who participates in politics.

To put it bluntly, Dong Zhan and the leaders of the Tubo tribe in the Hehuang area are just like children.

The guard of honor of the Marquis had already been waiting at the station in the west of Bianliang City. It was absolutely grand, even more grand than when the officials returned from Huazhou.The people of Bianliang are also very enthusiastic, densely packed on both sides of the street, and the restaurants facing the street are hard to find.

It is said that Tubo people do not take a bath, and Bianliang people want to see if the leader of the Tubo tribe is the same.

Dong felt came in a rail carriage, and Wang Shao gave up his regular carriage... The imperial court was not so considerate as to send the Marquis carriage to Hehuang directly. After asking the Ministry of Rites, Wang Shao sent himself Dong felt the carriage for the time being.Not only him, but Zhang Dun, Su Zhe, and the entire civil and military officials in Hehuang all contributed their carriages.

In the Hehuang area, there were too many tribal leaders who came to Beijing this time to be enshrined, nearly twenty.

There was one other little thing.After boarding the carriage, Gui Zhang was very interested in the carriage, because he heard that arrows are indestructible, so he hammered it twice.As a result, the soldier who was handling the carriage told him: You can try to chop a few times with a waist knife.

Guizhang didn't know what sarcasm was, and under the wide-eyed gaze of the soldiers, he really slashed with his waist knife.As a result, Guizhang was very frustrated, he just stared blankly at the knife mark on the wall of the carriage, regardless of the distressed expression of the soldiers.

"Gui Zhang, this is the reality. Song people can hide in iron boxes and shoot arrows through those holes, but we have nothing to do with him."

Dong felt was also very frustrated. What he said this time was really not to make excuses for himself, but to state the facts.The State of Song is really no longer the State of Song it used to be.

The distance from Qingtang to Bianliang is three thousand li, and Dong Zhan is clear about this.It takes nearly a month to travel a hundred miles a day, and Dong Zhan is also aware of this.But now, they almost never left the carriage, and they were served by people who ate, drank and lazed... They didn't take it seriously because he was the leader in the first place, and it was the same in Qingtang.

What he couldn't let go of was that the carriage never stopped, and he didn't need to rest. He just went to different stations to change the horses pulling the carriage, unloaded the garbage on the carriage, equipped the required materials, and the carriage continued on its way.

When he got out of the carriage again, he was already in the west of Bianliang...

Dong felt was escorted out of the car by Gui Zhang, and he didn't slow down until he got out of the car.He didn't have the excitement of other leaders, only lonely.

The etiquette cannot be considered grand, and the reception cannot be said to be grand, but Dong Zhan's mood is not at all joyful.

Entering the city is also a carriage, which is the marquis's ceremonial carriage.Dong felt heard it, and the Prime Minister of Song State told him that this is his special car when he is in Bianliang...

Dong Zhan didn't know whether the Prime Minister of Song State was sympathetic or sincere, but from the smile on the Prime Minister of Song State's face, he knew that this was the smile that a winner should have.

The Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty ordered the soldiers to remove the baffles on both sides... It was very simple, just pull it casually, and you can see the street view of Bianliang City.Seeing all kinds of gorgeous costumes on both sides of the street, Dong Zhan no longer had any right to be proud.

He once thought that even if he was awarded the title in Bianliang, he should maintain his posture as the king of Qingtang.However, what he has seen along the way, he deeply realized that a green pond is really incomparable with the Song Dynasty.Even the Xixia, even the Northern Liao, no matter how far away Huihe, I am afraid that in the near future, like Dong Zhan, he will come to Bianliang and accept the captivity of the Song State.

Before entering the palace gate, Dong Zhan had completely lost the demeanor he should have as the king of Qingtang. He was completely defeated, defeated from the heart.

So, when he saw the Emperor of Song on the steps, he really had the consciousness to worship... So, Dong Zhan knelt down, just like the leaders of those small tribes, he knelt down to accept the reward!

Chapter 688 Let Them See and See

Fu Bi could show a sincere smile to Dong Felt, and Zhao Xi could do the same.

In fact, in Zhao Xi's heart, there is no such thing as being different or not, but following the times, there are some things that have to be done.Therefore, when meeting Dong Zhan, he was sincere and sincere from the heart.

Of course, this was also because Dong felt was accepting his reward, not because he needed to bow to Dong felt.

The moment Zhao Xi knelt down on Dong felt...

"Why is this!"

I feel that the official is really quite sincere, even this one is full of apology.

Zhao Xi hurriedly came down from the steps, holding Dong Xing's arms with both hands: "Qinghai Hou, there is no ritual of kneeling in the court, so I would be rude to do so."

As soon as Dong felt was supported, Zhao Xi quickly turned his head and said to the tribal leaders: "Please hurry up, everyone, they are all ministers of the Song Dynasty, and I never knelt down to say it!"

The officials really surprised the courtiers.With such ease and comprehensiveness, the method of dealing with surrendered ministers is even more suitable for the current situation than the method set by the Ministry of Rites.

Even Gui Zhang, who had always been sullen, relaxed his frown at this time.Indeed, Song Guo gave enough courtesy.As long as A Zhan is not discriminated against, why should he continue to struggle... The matter has come to this point, there is no way to recover!

"Everyone has traveled all the way, and I will not engage in those red tapes anymore. I also ask you to wash up first, then go through a procedure, and then have a good time!"

The Tubo people were very happy with what the officials said, but they stunned the officials of the court, especially the officials of the Ministry of Rites, who didn't know whether they should follow the rules in the next step.
