Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.
Fate ha...
In the end, Li Ying couldn't help but feel a great sense of satisfaction.
Then Li Ying looked at Huang Zhong and the others, and said with a smile, "His Majesty has decreed that you ride horses all the way to the Southern Palace, where His Majesty will be waiting for you!"
"This humble general will obey Your Majesty's decree!"
Upon hearing that the Emperor was waiting for them outside the Southern Palace, the four men could not hide their excitement. The Grand Commandant came out of the city to greet them, and the Emperor received them outside the palace. Such treatment was rarely encountered even by the greatest generals of ancient times.
"Victorious soldiers, enter the city!!"
With a shout from the master of ceremonies, Li Ying and the others boarded the carriage and led the way, with Huang Zhong and the others following closely behind.
"Congratulations on the victorious return of our army!!"
As soon as Huang Zhong and his vanguard entered the city, another round of shouts erupted from the crowds lining the streets.
Even as the last rank of soldiers entered the city, cheers continued unabated, while the welcoming crowds outside the city followed closely behind, heading towards the Southern Palace.
In the palace, a member of the Imperial Guard also ran quickly into the Deyang Hall.
"Your Majesty! Our victorious troops have entered the city, led by the Grand Commandant, and are heading towards the Southern Palace!"
"good!"
Liu Hong nodded, then stood up and strode out, followed closely by Chen Fan, Xi Zhicai, and the others.
Surrounded by officials and guards, Liu Hong led the group to the outside of the South Palace.
Hearing the cheers coming from not far away, Liu Hong couldn't help but smile. He then slowly walked up to the high platform. Apart from Li Ying, the three dukes and nine ministers of the court, as well as young officials such as Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng, lined up on both sides behind Liu Hong.
"Congratulations on the victorious return of our army!!"
On the high platform, Liu Hong and the others looked ahead. As the cheers grew louder, Li Ying's vehicle came into view, followed by the bright red "Han" character flag, and then the triumphant army marching in high spirits!
