Mortal Immortal Gourd

The capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Sima Yi led dozens of people to recapture Qingzhou. Everyone was waiting to see his jokes. If there were no jokes, it would be good to hear the news of his death.

It's just that not long after he left the capital, he came back with his people.

What's going on?

Could it be that he didn't even see the shadow of the demon and just ran away in despair?

Originally, everyone had placed a few people around Sima Yi, but Deputy General Wang died, and there were still several people alive.

It's just that Sima Yi was too fast this time, and those followers had already returned before they could send the news back to the capital.

Those court officials who did not know the inside story thought that Sima Yi had escaped from the battle and were waiting to see his joke.

Because no one would have thought that the demon army, which had caused trouble for so many years and even destroyed the national army, would be defeated so easily.

Even Emperor Longxingsheng in the palace was worried. If Sima Yi failed too badly, he would lose not only his own face, but also the emperor's face.

Even if Sima Yi died in battle, it would look better than escaping back.

So on the day Sima Yi returned to the capital, he had not yet returned to his home in the capital.

He was stopped by Ji Song on the way, and Emperor Longxing Sheng wanted to summon him.

Sima Yi was led into the palace by Ji Song, where Emperor Longxing Sheng was waiting for him with a serious face.

"How is the situation in Qingzhou?"

Emperor Longxingsheng was a little disappointed to see Sima Yi come back so soon.

Everyone knows that you can't defeat the demon army in Qingzhou, everyone knows it.

Even if you make a show of toiling there for two or three years and then come back, you can still save some face.

Emperor Longxingsheng originally wanted to rebuke him face to face, but as an emperor, he still tolerated it a little longer. No matter what, he had to ask the whole story first.

"I report to Emperor Longxingsheng that I have lived up to His grace. Qingzhou has been pacified and the demons have been expelled from the country."

"What?"

Emperor Longxingsheng's hands trembled, and he almost thought he heard wrongly.

"I have defeated the demon and recovered Qingzhou. I am returning to Beijing to resume my duties."

Sima Yi repeated what he just said.

Emperor Longxingsheng felt as if he was dreaming for a moment, and had an unreal feeling.

He silently calculated in his mind that it had only been three months since Sima Yi received the mission and came back this time.

It takes more than a month to walk back and forth from the capital to Qingzhou. The remaining month also involves organizing troops, recruiting civilians, and preparing food and grass...

Excluding these miscellaneous time, the time that can actually be used for fighting is less than a month.

In other words, it took Sima Yi less than a month to defeat the demon and regain Qingzhou.

This time, in order to deal with the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, Qingzhou continued to fight for twenty or thirty years.

During this period, even the Zhenguo Army and General Ji lost money.

Then Xia Mingyuan tried to get a lot of benefits intermittently, but still failed to defeat the demon and even lost Qingzhou.

But less than a month after he sent Sima Yi this time, he had successfully defeated the demon and regained Qingzhou.

So what were you doing in the past twenty or thirty years?

"How did you recover it? Tell me specifically..."

"After I arrived in Sanyang County, I relied on Uncle Zhongyong to give me all my help..."

Sima Yi polished the process of their battle a little and told it exactly as it was.

Although Er Gouzi said that he did not need to live up to his reputation, he still gave Er Gouzi a lot of important credit.

Sima Yi is still far inferior to Ergouzi in this regard, probably because he has not read the sages' books thoroughly enough.

If it were Ergou who came to report, he would at least exaggerate the credit 10 times and give the primary credit to Emperor Longxing Sheng.

Then each person will be given some credit according to their importance.

Even though Sima Yi was not that good at talking, Emperor Longxingsheng was so excited that his hands and feet were trembling at this time.

I am indeed the Ming Lord of Zhongxing, a man who knows people well and is responsible for their duties.

Although Sima Yi was not as sensible as Ergouzi and did not say it out loud, Emperor Longxingsheng could understand it himself.

"good!"

"good!"

"You have accomplished such extraordinary feats, I will reward you heavily..."

Emperor Longxingsheng was overjoyed. The Zhou Dynasty was surrounded by enemies on all sides, including the Hai tribe in the east, the Taoshan Kingdom in the west, the Wanyao Kingdom in the south, and the barbarians in the north.

The Sea Tribe in the east is the hardest to fight and the strongest, taking away the most power from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Followed by the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom and the Fleeing Mountain Kingdom, the strength of these two places is comparable to that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The two sides always fought and fought repeatedly, without a winner or loser, and continued to consume the national power of the Zhou Dynasty.

As for the barbarians in the north, they only need to select some boys and girls from Dazhou every year and give them to eat, so that they can temporarily maintain peace.

The north is relatively easy to worry about, but the people suffer a little bit.

Now, Sima Yi finally pacified one side, and the only powerful enemies of the Great Zhou Dynasty were the Taoshan Kingdom and the Donghai Hai Clan.

I can finally breathe a little sigh of relief.

Sima Yi and Zhang Ergou are truly blessed generals for their own rejuvenation and capable ministers in governing the country.

The pace of ZTE can be accelerated a little more.

…………

Just when Sima Yi was called into the palace for questioning by the emperor, those who followed him also returned to their master.

"What……"

"Pah! Real or fake?"

"How is it possible..."

"He Sima Yi is so capable..."

Those ministers who had previously urged Sima Yi to go to Qingzhou to fight the demons and regain the territory.

Now I feel regretful and my intestines are blue.

Originally, they wanted to trick Sima Yi. They couldn't imagine that Sima Yi could defeat the demon, recover the territory, and make great achievements in such a short time.

In this way, it would be even more difficult for them to stop Sima Yi from rising in the court.

In the future, the emperor will have Sima Yi inside and Zhang Ergou outside to assist him.

The interests of these old ministers and their groups will definitely be greatly affected.

It can be imagined that everyone will have a harder time in the future.
