Cao Cao learned that the Western Expedition Army had returned, and he also came to the west gate to join in the fun. He saw Wang Yao from a distance and walked quickly.
"Yanchen, Yanchen!"
"Brother Mengde."
The two saluted each other and exchanged a few words.
"Cao, congratulations to Yanchen first."
"What are you so happy about?"
"The Western Expedition was a great victory. As the commander-in-chief, your father will definitely be rewarded. You are one step closer to achieving your goal."
"Mengde is well-informed in the court. He must know that my father is injured. Compared with the emperor's reward, Yao still hopes that my father is safe."
"General Wang, good people have their own blessings, Yanchen rest assured."
About half an hour later, the central army arrived at Luoyang City.
Because Wang Xi was injured, he was riding under the central army's flag.
The generals of each department led the soldiers back to the camp.
Wang Yao went to meet them.
"Father."
"General Wang."
Wang Qi lifted the curtain and wore court clothes: "Axing, everyone, I will go to the palace to see the emperor. If there is anything, let's talk about it later."
"Yes."
Wang Yao and others made way, and the carriage kept approaching the imperial city.
Outside the imperial city, the general's carriage stopped.
Le Jin helped Wang Qi get off the carriage, and entered the palace with Jian Shuo and He Miao beside him.
Outside the palace, Le Jin, who was wearing armor and carrying a sword, was naturally stopped.
"General..."
Le Jin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Qi with a wave of his hand.
"I can still walk. General He, General Jian, let's go in."
"General Wang is fine." He Miao said perfunctorily and walked forward.
Compared with He Miao, the eunuch's ability to read people's expressions is obviously stronger.
Jian Shuo supported Wang Xi: "General Wang is injured, let me support you."
"Thank you."
"We are all colleagues."
The three entered the hall. As for what Liu Hong said to them, Le Jin didn't know.
After a quarter of an hour, the three walked out slowly.
He Miao bowed casually with his nose turned up to the sky and said, "General Wang, congratulations. You may come to the He Mansion more often in the future. Miao has some family affairs, so I won't see you off."
"It doesn't matter. Since General He has family affairs, don't delay." Wang Qi didn't care. He Miao was just a clown. He relied on his status as a relative to the emperor to get to his current position, but he didn't have any ability.
Jian Shuo approached and said, "General Wang, I don't have anything to do at home. Why don't I send you off?"
"I dare not trouble General Jian. My personal soldiers are here. When we entered the city, my son also came. I believe he must be waiting outside the palace now."
Before, Jian Shuo helped himself in and was seen by many people. If he was asked to send him back, who knows what others would think.
Although the literati would jump between the eunuchs and the relatives of the emperor’s wife, Wang Xi did not want to have much contact with them, whether it was the eunuchs or the relatives of the emperor’s wife, because their power changed too frequently and it was too easy to have contact with them., never make close friends.
"Oh, I am sorry for the offense. Since General Wang's beloved son is already waiting, it is inconvenient for our family to disturb your reunion. On a chosen day, Shuo will definitely visit your house with generous gifts to thank you for your care on the battlefield."
Jian Shuo bowed and left quickly.
"General, the two of them?" Le Jin hesitated.
Wang Xi shook his head and was supported by Le Jin to leave the palace.
Sure enough, as soon as he left the palace, he saw Wang Yao and his men waiting.
"Dad." Wang Yao stepped forward and supported Wang Xi, and Le Jin silently stepped aside.
Cao Cao approached and bowed: "Counselor Cao Cao, I greet General Wang."
Wang Qi had also heard of Cao Cao's name. After a little inquiry, he knew that he was a troublesome person. However, being a troublesome person also meant that he was extraordinary. He must have been made friends with Ah Xing in Luoyang.
"Counselor Cao, no need to be polite, but would you like to visit my house?"
"I dare not bother you too much. General Wang has returned from the expedition. I'd better wait a few days before visiting him. It's not too late."
Cao Cao just came to make his acquaintance. He didn't bother him too much. He was the only outsider around, so it was not appropriate. He said goodbye very tactfully.
Wang Yao helped Wang Qi get on the carriage. Le Jin, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and Yan Xiang rode horses to protect them all around and returned to the palace together.
On the carriage, Wang Yao looked at the pale Wang Xi and asked worriedly: "Dad, how are you?"
"Huh~ not bad.
When I first arrived at the battlefield with my army, I fought against the Qiang and Hu coalition forces.
I won three out of five battles, but I couldn't completely drive them out.
So I pretended to be defeated and lured the enemy with my body.
After attracting the main force of Qiang and Hu, I launched a counter-encirclement.
The plan was generally successful, but the soldiers responsible for the encirclement and annihilation, Huangfu Song, launched an offensive in time, but Dong Zhuo delayed for a while, causing the central army to be almost broken through.
Wen Qian, De Mou, and Yi Gong, who fought to the death, After fighting hard, they stopped the dying counterattack of Qiang Hu. In the critical moment, as the main general, my father had to go to the front line to boost morale. With Wen Qian as the guard, it was not a big deal. Wen Qian was brave and helped my father block many swords. At least it was difficult to prevent hidden arrows on the battlefield, but he was still injured by stray arrows.
The arrow was pulled out by the military doctor on the same day. It's okay. Just rest and it won't take my father's life. "
Wang Yao looked at Wang Xi's condition, and it was not as relaxed as he said. After being shot, he had to continue to work hard on military affairs. After the overall situation was settled, he was ordered to return to the army. How could he rest?
"Dad, when you go out to fight, my mother is worried and hard all day long. You must comfort her when you go back."
"Yeah."
After returning home, Xun Yuan found that Wang Xi was injured, and immediately took a few servants to carry him back to the house and take care of him personally. The rest of the people were told to let Wang Yao arrange it himself.
Le Jin fell to his knees in front of Wang Yao with a thud: "Sir, I am incompetent and failed to protect the general. Please punish me."
"Alas." Wang Yao helped Le Jin up: "Father told me about the dangers of the battlefield and Wen Qian's bravery and achievements. If it weren't for Wen Qian, my father's situation would be even more dire.I'm in danger, so I have to thank you, why punish me. "
Afterwards, Wang Yao called the housekeeper Fei Yuan: "Old Fei, take the 100 gold coins to give to Wen Qian, De Mou and Yi Gong, and you can send them directly to their houses."
"Yes." After receiving the order, housekeeper Fei immediately went to the treasury to get the gold.
"Sir, I, I..."
"Okay, take the reward if you have it, don't be so fussy."
"Thank you, sir!"
A few days later, Liu Hong convened a court meeting and awarded the generals of the Western Expedition.
As the main general, Wang Xi was named General Zhenxi, Marquis of Anxiang, and had a fief of 1,500 households.
Being a general and a marquis was also considered to be a great honor to the family.
In the main hall, Wang Xi bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I, Wang Xi, report to you. ”
“Lord Wang, what’s the matter?”
“Your Majesty, I am wounded in battle, and I am afraid that my body cannot fight for Your Majesty again. I would like to return home with my remains. I hope Your Majesty will grant my permission.”
“Since you are ill, you should rest. I will grant your permission. You can choose any day to return, and you will not have to bid me farewell.
In addition, I will reward those who have made contributions. You can keep your official position and fiefdom, but if the court wants to use you, Lord Wang, you cannot refuse. ”
For Liu Hong, Wang Xi, a man of merit, was happy to retire. After all, the situation in the court was already troublesome enough. If the Taiyuan Wang family intervened too much, it would be detrimental to control.
Once Wang Xi, who had military merit, left, only Wang Yun was left. He could not make any waves, but could be used.
Wang Xi bowed again and said, "I thank the emperor for his grace."
