Chapter 463: Reception(1/2)
Three miles outside Jinling City, in a road pavilion.
Li Yu led the main officials in Jinling to wait here.
"Report! Report to Your Majesty, the triumphal army is already five miles away!"
At this time, a horse was running towards the pavilion on the road ahead.
When approaching the pavilion, the soldiers stopped the war horses, turned over neatly, and ran to Li Yu.
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, let's go and rest first."
Li Yu smiled and nodded, and whispered a few words to Liu Jin beside him.
The two little yellow gates immediately walked towards the soldier with a bowl of warm water and food.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The soldier was very excited to receive the emperor's care.
He bowed to thank him here, and then followed the little yellow gate to the side to drink water and rest.
"The army is coming soon, let's prepare too."
Li Yu stood up and smiled at Song Yuan, Yue Feng and others behind him.
"yes!"
Everyone also stood up, and the musician brought by Li Yu also checked the instrument again. The leading musician kept comforting his companions, making sure nothing unexpected happened when welcoming the triumphant army.
About half an hour later, Li Yu suddenly felt the ground under his feet vibrating.
He raised his eyes and looked at the avenue ahead.
At the end of the road, smoke and dust appeared.
"Here you come!"
Li Yu smiled and brought everyone behind him to the center of the avenue.
The musician who had already prepared came to the side of the avenue, found his place and started playing.
The cheerful and exciting music sounded on the avenue, which was very consistent with the background of the triumphant army at this moment.
But everyone could still hear the music at first, but as the army continued to approach, the rapid sound of horse hooves covered up everything around them.
On the wide boulevard, a large army appeared.
The leaders were wearing armor and fierce aura. The army behind them rushed towards them like waves, full of oppression.
Li Yu's eyes were filled with shock when facing the amazing army.
When the army left the tree-lined path, the soldiers scattered to both sides.
But in a moment, the team expanded by more than ten times.
Looking up, there were soldiers wearing armor in front of them, like a torrent of steel, stimulating the minds of everyone present.
But Li Yu saw more.
From the spread of soldiers to both sides in a short period of time, you can see the army's orders and prohibitions.
Of course, if it is just the Xuanhuang army, it is not worthy of praise.
It was mainly because Li Yu saw that there were also Ming Wu Army in the spreading army.
As the basic unit in the military system of Daxia, the Ming Wu Army was mainly responsible for maintaining local order and dealing with bandits and so on.
His army's strength was better than that of the county soldiers during the Yu Dynasty, but it was not much better.
The main reason is that the time for the founding of the army was too short, which was a little worse than the elite army during the Yu Dynasty.
When you go out at this moment, you will have a significant improvement in both military appearance and discipline, and it will not be in vain to Li Yu's training.
The army was ahead, and Xu Lin, Yu Zhen, and Zheng Yuanhao immediately showed surprise and moving expression on their faces when they saw Li Yu and others on the avenue!
Although they had long been told that the emperor would go out of the city to greet him, they also thought that the number of people would not be too large.
After all, Yue Feng was the first to win the battle along the way, and the imperial court moved the capital, so many things happened in a short period of time.
It is impossible for the court to draw too many people out of the city to welcome them.
But now, the team that welcomes the army is obviously of high specifications.
Almost all the senior officials of the third rank or above arrived, and a large number of them stood closely above the seventh rank or above.
When Xu Lin and the other two were still a hundred meters away from Li Yu, all of them dismounted and walked.
When there were still fifty meters away, the army stopped, and only the main generals such as Xu Lin continued to step forward and meet the emperor.
"Last general Xu Lin, please see Your Majesty!"
Xu Lin led the way, and everyone followed him to greet him.
"Xu Qing get up quickly." Li Yu came forward in person, helped Xu Lin and the other two up, and then said to everyone: "Please get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone answered in unison, each with very happy faces.
Li Yu perfectly played the role of central air conditioning, making Xu Lin and others feel like they are bathed in spring breeze, sweeping away the fatigue of war.
The chat with the soldiers who went out to fight did not last long.
Because Xu Linyu and his team had to resettle the army, Li Yu let everyone go after expressing his attitude.
The two armies left many troops stationed everywhere.
This time I came back, the total force was only 50,000.
Among the three major war troops, only more than 3,000 people returned.
Except for those who died in battle, the rest of the war troops stayed in the local area to prevent the demons from attacking after the army left.
Since Li Yu's last time communicated with Huafeng, Jinling has seized the time to build a large number of houses.
A clearing was opened outside the city, and the logs and other things were ready.
The army just needs to build a camp directly.
After Xu Lin and the other two arranged the army, they entered the city to meet Li Yu.
"Xu Qing, Yu Qing, Zheng Qing and all your beloved friends. Thank you for your hard work during this period. I respect you!"
In the manor, Li Yu set up a banquet in the courtyard to welcome Xu Lin and others.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xu Lin and others responded quickly and then drank it all in one go.
After a glass of wine, the original unfamiliarity among the people immediately dissipated and each became excited.
"Old Yue, hasn't your Majesty held a welcome banquet for you long ago? Why are you sitting here?"
Yu Zhen sat next to Xu Lin and joked to Yue Feng opposite him.
When he joined Li Yu, the first person he met was Song Yuan and Yue Feng.
However, Yu Zhen and Song Yuan have a fair relationship, but they have similar interests and have good relationships with Yue Feng.
"Yes, yes, when I saw him at the door, I was stunned and thought I had made the wrong time!"
Zheng Yuanhao ate the meat in his mouth in a few bites and accused everyone.
"Haha! Lao Yu, we are all generals on the expedition. What's wrong with having a reception banquet for you?"
Yue Feng laughed, then looked at the man on the right and said contemptuously: "That's obviously you who are alone, and you can't even remember the time you have received the banquet!"
"Luckily I'm here, otherwise if you really forgot, I can make up for the number of people!"
"Get out!"
Several people laughed, and the other generals who went to war were also infected by the atmosphere and began to speak more casually.
Li Yu sat in the upper head and listened quietly to everyone's chat.
After staying for a while, he left with an excuse.
His status is different now, and continuing to stay will only make everyone feel uncomfortable.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sure enough, after he left, the sound in the yard quickly became much louder.
Li Yu even heard the sound of punching.
Leaving the front yard, Li Yu walked towards the back yard.
It just so happened that Ning Hongye and Hu Xian'er were both there.
"See Your Majesty!"
Ning Hongye, Hu Xianer and others saw Li Yu appear, and they all stood up to salute.
Li Yu nodded and asked everyone to get up, then came to sit next to him.
He looked at the stone table, which was placed on it.
