After winning the battle, Xiao Hanzheng asked his deputy general and others to count the casualties.
Then he left some people to set up camp outside the city to prevent the Ge army from making a counterattack, and he led the other soldiers into the city.
Liang Hengxiao was already being helped down the stairs by his personal followers, and he personally welcomed everyone at the city gate.
Xiao Hanzheng saw Liang Hengxiao and greeted him with a fist, "Greetings, Governor."
Others also saluted Liang Hengxiao.
Liang Hengxiao smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
He breathed a sigh of relief now, luckily he won the fight.
If he was defeated, he decided to commit suicide on the city wall to apologize, and would never allow the Ge people to take him prisoner.
Death is a trivial matter. He was afraid of letting down the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in Daliang and of letting down his father's trust.
Then the group and the third prince entered the city.
The generals and Xiao Hanzheng followed the third prince to the courtyard where he lived, while the other soldiers rested in the city.
After entering the courtyard, Liang Hengxiao clasped his fists to thank Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo, "This time it is really thanks to you two. I thank you on behalf of the entire army!"
He knew very well that if it weren't for Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo, not only would he not be able to wake up, but this border town would also be captured by the Ge Kingdom and he would become a hostage.
The border guarded by Daliang is likely to be breached by the Ge State.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled, "There's no need for that, Governor. As an official appointed by the imperial court of Daliang, it is my duty to protect my country."
"Not only us, but other soldiers also contributed a lot."
His words made the generals present feel very relieved.
Shi Qingluo also said, "The Emperor named me Princess Fubao, so I naturally can't just stand by and watch the enemy trample on our Daliang territory."
Liang Hengxiao knew that the two were the kind of people who would get things done, so he smiled and said, "Anyway, it was mainly your contribution that enabled us to defeat the Ge Kingdom this time, and the others will also be rewarded according to their merits."
"The governor was unconscious before, so I used the military talisman left by King Yi."
Xiao Hanzheng took out the military token from his arms and handed it to the Third Prince, "Now it is returned to its original owner."
This military token was taken from the Third Prince by King Yi before he left, in order to have a backup plan.
Now that the third prince has awakened, Xiao Hanzheng will naturally not monopolize the military command.
Liang Hengxiao looked at the military token and sighed in his heart that Xiao Hanzheng was indeed upright and not power-hungry.
If it were someone else, after receiving such a great military achievement, they would probably want to take the military token for themselves. How could they possibly return it so quickly?
He didn't take it, and said with a smile: "I won't take this military amulet back for now. Although I'm awake, it will take some time for my body to recover."
"So I have to trouble Lord Xiao to help take care of it for a while."
"I will have to trouble you, Lord Xiao, to take care of the battles along the border."
"I will write a memorial to the emperor in the capital, so you don't have to worry about it."
Xiao Hanzheng was stunned for a moment, and then other generals said one after another: "Since the Third Prince trusts Sir Xiao so much, Sir Xiao should take it."
"Yes, Lord Xiao will continue to take charge of the military talisman."
Compared to the Third Prince, they naturally believed more in Xiao Hanzheng's ability to fight.
These people are all military generals, so they prefer to be straightforward. Fortunately, Liang Hengxiao is not a petty person.
Liang Hengxiao smiled and said, "Yes, Sir Xiao, please take back the military token."
He knew in his heart that he was good at managing the northern border and keeping an eye on the Ge Kingdom, but he was really not that good at fighting a war and it was all just talk.
Although Xiao Hanzheng was younger than him, he had a talent for fighting. He had just witnessed it with his own eyes while standing on the city wall.
It could be heard that the Third Prince was quite sincere. Xiao Hanzheng thought about it and decided not to be pretentious, so he took the military token back.
He clasped his fists towards the Third Prince again, "I will definitely live up to the Governor's trust."
The Third Prince's physique is indeed not suitable for going to the battlefield, and the enemy is not as experienced in fighting as the generals of the Ge Kingdom, so it is easy for him to fall into a trap.
When the third prince was poisoned before, he and the people in the city used carrier pigeons to send messages, but there was no chance to deliver the antidote to the city because a carrier pigeon with a bottle of medicine tied to it could not fly far.
And even if he could tie it to a carrier pigeon and upload it, he wouldn't dare to take the risk.
If someone replaced the antidote and something happened to the Third Prince, not only would he be blamed, but it would also be unfavorable to the situation of the war between the two countries.
Liang Hengxiao smiled and said, "Of course I believe you."
Then they chatted for a while.
Shi Qingluo discovered that a general was staring at him with heated eyes.
She looked at him and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
There is nothing on her face! The general was a little embarrassed when asked this question.
He immediately explained, "Princess Fubao, don't misunderstand me. I'm not being disrespectful to you. I'm just thinking about something."
Shi Qingluo asked: "What's the matter?"
The general smiled and said, "I was wondering, could we ask your master for more help in our future battles with the Ge Kingdom?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the others present also lit up.
Yeah, why didn't they think of that.
If Princess Fubao's master could help more, those powerful little black balls would fall from the sky and defeating the Ge Kingdom would be a piece of cake.
Shi Qingluo: "..." These people really think, she still wants the master to help, but where can she find the old immortal? She sighed, "I want this too, but it's impossible."
The general asked hurriedly: "Why?"
Shi Qingluo explained, "My master cannot be too involved in worldly affairs, otherwise it would be a big taboo."
"The reason why he helped before was entirely because Yelu Donghe wanted to arrest me. This was simply to protect his apprentice, so it wouldn't violate any taboos."
"But you cannot interfere too much in the affairs of mortals without permission. You will be restricted and punished by the laws of nature."
Almost everyone present had read stories about cultivating immortals, so they knew what Heaven's Way was.
Everyone was a little disappointed, but it seemed to make sense after thinking about it, "The old immortal can't interfere in anything? Then can he help predict whether we can win?"
Shi Qingluo replied: "The war between the two countries is a major event among us mortals, he cannot interfere."
"My master can't even take care of our Daliang affairs."
"He said that the emperor is a true dragon bestowed by God, and will naturally protect the people of Daliang. Therefore, the victory in the war between the two countries will definitely be on the side of our Daliang."
"So just fight the battle with all your heart and don't worry about the outcome."
This is also a kind of psychological hint, allowing the soldiers on the Daliang side to firmly believe that we will definitely win. This is what the old immortal predicted.
The key is to use these people to tell the emperor that my master can only help to a limited extent and will not have any influence or threat to the Liang family's kingdom.
Otherwise, if we can help defeat the Ge Kingdom army, then can we also help overthrow the Daliang royal family one day? Shi Qingluo now wants to express a meaning, my master is on the side of the emperor, to protect your orthodoxy, so you don't have to be afraid.
It can not only reassure the emperor, but also pat the dragon's butt.
If the emperor is happy, it will naturally be more beneficial to her and her husband.
