Chapter 342 The General Returns Triumph

On November 12, Sun Tu led his army to triumphantly, only about half a month ago. The Qingzhou army pacified Qingzhou again and the last and largest thief nest Erlong Mountain.

On that day, the north wind was howling and snowflakes were falling, but Qingzhou City was empty. All men and women in the city were all out of the city to welcome the heroes who went out of the battle. Yes, for the tens of thousands of people in Qingzhou City, this army of troops is a hero they deserve to be admired and grateful to.

At noon, when the waving flag at the front of the army suddenly appeared from the end of the horizon, the crowd waiting inside and outside the city gate, stood out from the 10 miles away from the corridor suddenly burst out with the greatest cheers: "We welcome Sun Dujian to lead the army to triumph! Sun Dujian is mighty, and Qingzhou troops are thousands of victories!"

The shouts spread far away and went straight into the sky, which also made the spirited soldiers who were already energetic rise again. The dozens of soldiers who pioneered the way also moved to Dantian and shouted loudly: "The Qingzhou army pacified Erlong Mountain, killed 736 enemy bandits, captured 657 bandit bandits, and our army won a great victory!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"mighty!"

The cheers erupted again, and many people rushed forward eagerly and bowed to the ground with excitement. Regardless of whether Sun Tu had come to the front of him at this time, they all thanked loudly: "We have been in the bandits of the Three Mountains for a long time, and many Sun Dujian sent troops to combat the thieves. Please accept a bow for me!" After that, the people had already bowed deeply.

This action quickly received response from almost all the people present. After a while, the people waiting inside and outside the city gate fell down a lot, and everyone knelt down. Only hundreds of officials and soldiers who stayed here, led by Huang Wenbing and Tang Feng, were still standing there in a daze. After a while, under their leadership, they quickly walked forward to meet them.

At this time, Sun Tu was already riding his horse with some confusion. After seeing this scene, he was moved by it. He quickly jumped off the horse and quickly stepped forward to help the old man in the lead: "The old man doesn't have to do this. Everyone should invite me quickly. I, Sun Tu, cannot be so respectful to all the villagers. Since we are the Qingzhou official army, we have the responsibility to defend the people. Not to mention that we are just three thieves' villages, even if there are many thieves' nests, we must clean up the local people!"

The old man naturally could not resist Sun Tu. He was quickly supported by him, but his eyes were filled with tears: "Dujian, you don't know anything. Almost every family in my Qingzhou has suffered from the suffering of those bandits. How many good people have died because of their family's destruction, most of our hard lives have been born from them... Now, Dujian pacifies the three mountains, to save us from the sea of ​​suffering, and is our reborn parents. We have no choice but to repay the people, so we can only thank us for our great kindness!" As he said that, he wanted to bow again.

But under the obstruction of Sun Tu's iron arms, how could he, a weak old man, go on to worship? Sun Tu supported the other party with great force and said loudly: "The old man is so serious. The government is incompetent and the government's army is not fighting effectively. My Sun Tu just fulfilled his duties today. I also believe that after eliminating the bandits in the Three Mountains, my Qingzhou will inevitably be very different. Everyone's good days are about to begin. Please come up, and you should go back to the city to celebrate. Moreover, I am tired when the soldiers come back for a few days. Everyone will not want to block the road and not let me return to the camp, right?"

This made me laugh. Now the old man dared not persevere anymore, so he quickly stood firm and shouted to the people behind him: "Everyone should get up too, we have expressed our feelings, and it depends on our actual performance in the future!"

"Thank you, Sun Dujian, for eliminating the harm for the people. We will do our best to make Qingzhou better in the future!" The others finally stood up and made a promise with excitement. Everyone looked at Sun Tu and the hundreds or thousands of soldiers behind him with gratitude. After a moment, they all avoided the road and asked the soldiers who went out to pass first.

Sun Tu was not polite, and immediately waved his hand: "The army entered the city!"

At this moment, with a neat promise, the official army lined up in line to enter Qingzhou City. The momentum was once again shocked the surroundings. The people were both shocked and admired, and finally understood why the three-mountain bandits, which had not been resolved for more than ten years, took only half a year to pacify them all.

Because the Qingzhou army is the real elite army at present. Compared with them, the imperial official army in the past ten years or even decades has been a group of mobs.

It was not until Sun Tu rushed to the city gate that Huang Wenbing and the others came forward to see the more or less wounds on everyone's body. The left-behind people also showed complicated expressions: "The Chief Minister... We congratulate the Chief Minister on leading the army to triumph, and from then on, our Qingzhou territory will surely be peaceful."

"Well said, my Qingzhou will be peaceful again from today, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment!" Sun Tu shouted again, winning cheers again, and then his eyes fell on Huang Wenbing's face and blinked with a smile.

Huang Wenbing smiled ashamed, but soon said stutteringly: "The chief minister, I still feel that this matter is inappropriate... Now that Qingzhou is pacified, I am afraid the court..."

Just before Sun Tu sent troops to attack Erlong Mountain, Huang Wenbing raised objections. Because Sun Tu had left no room to kill all local officials and reported everything to the court, the consequences must be quite serious. In his opinion, what Sun Tu had to do next was to accumulate strength and win the hearts of the local people while raising the enemy and respecting the enemy, so that the court did not dare to attack him easily. This was the most correct way to protect himself.

But Sun Tu did not accept his suggestion at all, and resolutely led his army to attack Erlong Mountain, and this time he really completely suppressed Erlong Mountain. In this way, Qingzhou was completely pacified and the court would have no worries. If a subsequent decree was to punish Sun Tu and others, what should we do?

Sun Tu did not answer at the beginning, but now he smiled: "The reason why I eliminate Murong Yanchao and others is because they are selfish and never consider the people of Qingzhou. Since this is the case, how can I make the same choice as them? As for the blame from the court, I think once this matter is reported, the emperor and the nobles in the court will know that I am just dedicated to serving the country. Since I have made great contributions to the court and Qingzhou, how could they condemn me?"

"But..." Huang Wenbing's heart was still full of uneasiness. He seemed to want to say something else, but he was interrupted by Sun Tu's wave of his hand: "Okay, now that's it, there is no need to mention these concerns. What we have to do now is to manage the entire Qingzhou City and then to recruit more soldiers to join the army. Only when my Qingzhou Army is strong enough, no one dares to attack me and Qingzhou City!"

After saying this, he had already strode forward and soon entered the city. Amid the cheers of the people who were welcoming on both sides, he kept waving with a smile, which made his image in the minds of all the people of Qingzhou become taller.

But just after he walked for a long time, the great hero in everyone's mind suddenly stopped, and the man turned around and looked at a small person among the cheering people in front of him - Ya'er!

At this time, Ya'er's little face was already red due to the wind and snow, but she was also excited and kept pushing forward, looking at Sun Tu not far away with joy and attachment, muttering: "Third brother... Third brother, you are finally back..."

Although the two were still several feet away and the people around were still screaming and cheering, Sun Tu could still clearly hear the sound of her screaming, and at the same time she could feel her joy, her worries, and a hint of loss and anxiety hidden in her heart...

Yes, Sun Tu has always been her only one, but as his status continues to improve, as more and more things he needs to deal with, and the enemies he needs to deal with become stronger and stronger, he can no longer be with her as he used to be.

Ya'er was both proud and a little scared about such a change. She was really afraid that one day the third brother would suddenly go and never return, and she would completely lose her only support and relatives. But she never revealed this kind of worry to anyone, even to Sun Tu, she never mentioned it.

Sun Tu never felt this way in the past, but at this moment, when he saw Yaer looking at him and the sad expression in his excitement, he had completely understood.

Suddenly, a thought arose from Sun Tu's heart. He no longer had any concerns. He quickly came to Ya'er. Under her eyes of surprise, the hero who won the victory and triumphant suddenly knelt down on Ya'er on one knee, and then looked up affectionately at the somewhat lost girl: "Ya'er, today I use the entire Qingzhou City as a betrothal gift. Do you want to marry me as your wife?"

This sentence was not very loud, but the moment Sun Tu said it, the entire Qingzhou city suddenly became silent, with only the howling north wind blew, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes fell on the two of them. The snow in the sky seemed to have completely stopped at this moment...

Countless people looked at this amazing scene in disbelief. The hero Sun Dujian, who stood tall in their minds, actually knelt down to a little girl in public? And he actually asked someone for marriage in such a direct way? This is an unprecedented strange proposal, and it is also a declaration of love that makes women in the city envious and jealous!

Although people at this time did not know the word romance, all women, especially young women, clearly felt the magic of this word. Many people hoped that the person who was courted so much by Sun Tu would be replaced by himself...

Ya'er was completely confused at this moment. This happiness came so suddenly that she didn't know what to react. It was not until after a long time that she noticed that the whole city's military and civilians were looking at her that she suddenly woke up. Her pretty face was so ashamed that she was about to burn out, and her body was soft, just like she was soaked in a honeypot, and she was about to fall down.

"Ya'er, are you willing to be my Sun Tu's wife?" Sun Tu asked persistently and gentlely.

This time, Ya'er finally reacted, and tears as big as beans flowed down, but she didn't care about wiping, but she just nodded vigorously and choked up, "I'm willing... Third brother, I want to be your wife..." Before she finished speaking, she was already embraced by Sun Tuqiang, and then the whole city cheered again.

Today's events will be circulated for a long time and become a good story-

The general returns triumphantly and hires a beautiful lady with the city!
