The peace talks proceeded smoothly. Within five days, the emperor's decree had already reached the southwest. The peace talks ended smoothly, and the soldiers in the capital could return to the imperial court.
The imperial edict had just been read out when a voice from the military camp resounded through the skies as it kowtowed, "Thank you, your majesty. May the Emperor live for tens of thousands of years."
Wu Shan turned his head to look at Vice General Zhang and discovered that Vice General Zhang was also looking at him. Their gazes met, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.
In the fourth month of the war, when the enemy surrendered, Wu Shan entered the capital and the Jin Country emerged victorious.
"General, we have finally done it. These four months have not been wasted. I didn't think that we would be able to win this war in such a short amount of time. It is really exciting." Vice General Zhang walked over and knelt on the ground to receive the decree while whispering to, "General, you have worked hard these past few days."
Wu Shan stood up while smiling, and shook his head at Vice General Zhang. For the past few days, all the soldiers in the military base had been working in unison in order to win this war. The soldiers fight hard all day long, and I don't really have any hard work to do. "
As Wu Shan spoke, he raised his head and looked at all the soldiers in front of him. The expression on his face slowly became serious.
When a general dies in a hundred battles, a warrior will return ten years later.
Every soldier's face revealed a joyful expression. Wu Shan's heart couldn't help but feel like boiling blood: At this moment, I just want to bring you all home.
"Soldiers, rest well for the next two days. We'll pack up and return to the capital in three days." Wu Shan waved his hands at the soldiers, signalling for them to quiet down. Now that the negotiations between the two countries have just ended, we must pay more attention to our conduct and do not exceed the time limit. "
After Wu Shan's repeated orders, the soldiers all replied and left the stage.
"General Wu." Just as Wu Shan was about to leave, someone suddenly called out to him from behind.
Wu Shan turned around and realized that the Vice General Zhang was standing behind him. Wu Shan smiled at the Vice General Zhang, his lips slightly opened, and lightly said to the Vice General Zhang: "General Zhang, why are you here?"
He reached out his hands, lifted the hem of his robe to the side, and agilely kneeled down as he said to Wu Shan: "General Wu, I represent all of the officers and generals here with my gratitude. Thank you for leading us to win this battle in just four months, and thank you for bringing the soldiers home together."
As Vice General Zhang spoke, he kneeled down heavily and bowed towards Wu Shan.
Wu Shan did not reply, but pulled Vice General Zhang up, his eyes slightly red, he forced out a smile and said: "Quickly, from ancient times onwards, men have gold under their knees, how can I afford the big bow that General Zhang gave me."
He continuously pulled at them, and then, he finally managed to help Vice General Zhang up from the ground. Only then did he continue to speak to him, "I am the general of the soldiers, I should naturally bring them home. General Zhang need not do this. "
At this time, Duan Yunfei was sitting in the middle of Red Luan Courtyard, fiddling with the little gadgets that Mu Chuyang had brought to her.
"Thirteenth Princess, the Emperor's edict has already reached the border. I believe that General Wu Shan will have received it by now." Xiao Yang quietly walked to Duan Yunfei's side, smiled at her and said: "Princess, there's no need to worry."
Only after hearing what Xiao Yang said, did Duan Yunfei regain her senses. She couldn't help but look towards the southwest, and then let out a long sigh. That's right, I've been worried all day for this silly kid, and I'm praying for him to return as soon as possible. Now, this day has finally arrived. "
"Now that the two countries have reached an agreement, there will be no more fighting. Presumably, the Southwest would also be quiet for some time. General Wu Shan also returned to the capital to rest. You two siblings will meet soon as well. " Xiao Yang nodded his head and turned to Duan Yunfei.
Duan Yunfei seemed to have suddenly thought of something as she continued to ask Xiao Yang: "Does Grandfather know about this matter?"
The moment he finished speaking, Xiao Yang was startled, then he continued to answer Duan Yunfei: "The imperial edict had just reached the Southwest military camp, and has not announced it to the court. I presume that Old General Wu still does not know about it."
Xiao Yang said from the side. Duan Yunfei frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, she continued to speak to Xiao Yang: "Since it's like this, it's been a long time since I've visited Grandfather. You go and help me prepare some exquisite food belts, we'll go to Wu Mansion tomorrow to visit Grandfather. If grandfather were to find out about this, he would definitely be overjoyed. "
Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Xiao Yang did not dare delay, and quickly went to prepare.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
It was already the third fragment of the night, but Wu Shan was still unable to fall asleep even after tossing and turning. He could only put on his clothes once more and head out of the tent.
Just as he walked outside, he saw that the Vice General Zhang was also standing under the moonlight, sighing heavily.
"It's already the third fragment of the night. General Zhang is still not going back to rest, but he's actually thinking of staying here to admire the moon." Wu Shan couldn't help but laugh as he reached out to pat Vice General Zhang on the shoulder.
Hearing Wu Shan's words, the Vice General Zhang couldn't help but laugh and hurriedly bowed towards Wu Shan. "General Wu has truly troubled me. This lowly general is just a crude person who cannot even read a few words. How could he possibly have the mood to leisurely admire the moon here? "
Vice General Zhang said as he raised his head to look at the moon in the sky. He had been here for three whole years, and now that he suddenly had to go home, he felt a bit uncomfortable. I wonder if the moon in our home is the same as the moon in the southwest. "
"Of course." Wu Shan blurted out. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw the look of anticipation in Vice General Zhang's eyes, and could only forcefully swallow the latter half of the sentence. He choked for a bit, and then continued to speak to Vice General Zhang: "We will set off tomorrow morning.
Hearing Wu Shan's words, the Vice General Zhang did not say much and only nodded heavily towards Wu Shan. He raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky. He turned his head to the side and continued to speak to Wu Shan, "This place is far away from home.
Wu Shan did not refute him and faintly smiled at Vice General Zhang.
