He said words of thanks to Mr. Great Xuan Army.
Another four or five days passed in this way, day and night.
Great Xuan Army arrives outside Upper Valley Commandery City.
The blue brick city wall in the distance glows with a cold luster in the sunlight. It is Upper Valley Commandery City.
As the distance gets closer, the flag on the city wall is clearly visible, which is Black Bird Banner symbolized by the Yan Kingdom.
Du Tianwu breathed a sigh of relief, there is this flag.
This shows that the city is still under the control of the Great Yan court and has not yet fallen.
The army marched three miles outside the city, and Du Tianwu ordered to slow down the march and clean up the formation.
At this time, the Upper Valley Commandery City door was wide open, and a group of people wearing Yan Kingdom official uniforms came quickly to greet them. The leader was about fifty years old, wearing Fifth Rank cyan official robes and a jade belt around his waist. Although his face was thin.
But he couldn't hide the fatigue and anxiety he felt over the past few days.
This person is none other than Upper Valley Commandery Sheriff Ji Xunjiang, who was born in the Yan Kingdom royal family.
Ji Xunjiang led the civil and military officials of Upper Valley Commandery to the front of the army formation quickly. His eyes first glanced at the majestic Du Tianwu, and then fell on Su Fei.
When he saw Su Fei's appearance clearly, he quickly stepped forward, in full view of everyone.
He knelt down directly to the ground with a plop and performed a standard kowtow to Su Fei with a respectful and loud voice.
"Ji Xunjiang Meet my great-aunt."
The sound of "uncle" not only stunned Du Tianwu and the general Great Xuan beside him, but even Su Fei froze in place for an instant, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Are you polite? What are you doing? When did I get such an old grandnephew? How come I didn't know about it?
Upon seeing this, Ji Xunjiang stood up quickly, with an apologetic smile on his face, walked quickly to Su Fei, and explained in a low voice.
"Grandpa, don't be surprised. It's a long story. According to the Yan Kingdom royal family, my great aunt Yuyan is my great aunt. If you marry your great aunt, you will naturally be my great aunt. There was a war in the past and I couldn't go far to greet you. Please forgive me."
Ji Xunjiang's tone was sincere and his eyes were respectful. He was not at all negligent because Su Fei was Great Xuan.
Su Fei Hearing this, he quickly went over the seniority relationship in his mind and suddenly realized.
So, according to this theory, Ji Xunjiang is indeed his great-nephew.
This issue of generation was also a metaphysics in previous lives.
The other party bowed down immediately when they saw him, probably not only because of his seniority, but also because of his Celestial Person Realm strength.
The only thing to worry about is that the other party is over fifty years old, but I am in my twenties. It is really awkward to be called "grandpa" by such an old person.
He waved his hand and said calmly.
"No need to be too polite, just call me Marquis Su."
"Yes, Marquis Su."
Ji Xunjiang was so transparent that he immediately changed his name to Marquis Su, then turned around and saluted Du Tianwu with clasped fists, a warm smile on his face and a sincere tone.
"Greetings to General Du, thanks to the kindness of His Majesty Great Xuan, he sent a large army to rescue me Yan Kingdom and rescued my Yan Kingdom Upper Valley Commandery people from the fire and water. Ji Xunjiang is very grateful."
"The tents and residences have been prepared in the city for the army to rest. I have also prepared a large amount of food and hundreds of cattle and sheep to reward the soldiers. I leave it to General Du and Marquis Su to resist White Lotus Sect's rebellion. Please don't be polite to me."
Ji Xunjiang's words were both polite and sincere. He knew that Great Xuan's army was coming from afar, and food, grass and accommodation were the top priority, so they had already made arrangements in advance.
Du Tianwu saw this and was quite satisfied with it. He nodded and said in a deep voice.
"The governor is interested. We are also here under orders. It is our duty to exterminate Yan Kingdom White Lotus Sect people and stabilize the Yan Kingdom territory."
After saying that, Du Tianwu raised his hand to signal the army to prepare to enter the city, glanced at the neat military formation behind him, and said loudly.
"Enter the city."
Ji Xunjiang quickly turned sideways to lead the way and gave instructions to the officials behind him.
"Quickly, lead the army into the city and arrange it properly according to the established arrangements. Make sure the soldiers are well fed and rested."
Immediately, he quickly walked to the side of Su Fei and Du Tianwu, leading the way and introducing the current situation of Upper Valley Commandery in a low voice.
"Marquis Su, General Du, the situation in Upper Valley Commandery is quite safe now. There are no large groups of the White Lotus Sect rebels coming to attack. We only encountered small groups of rebels who came to harass us, but they were all repelled by our Yan army."
"I think the White Lotus Sect rebels are digesting the territory they have laid. Once these White Lotus Sect rebels have finished digesting it, it will be time to attack me Upper Valley Commandery. At this time, the arrival of the two of you is really a timely help..."
Ji Xunjiang is very good at talking.
Su Fei listened to Ji Xunjiang's introduction while scanning the inside and outside of the city, only to see some arrow marks on the city wall.
The soldiers at the city gate all looked solemn and held weapons tightly in their hands, obviously having experienced a lot of war.
When Su Fei and Du Tianwu led the army into the city.
It was almost evening when the army entered the city.
The shops on both sides of the street were affected by the war, and most of them were closed.
The doors of the houses on the roadside are also closed.
Occasionally, some people poked their heads out of the cracks in the door and looked at the mighty Great Xuan Army in front of them with curious eyes.
Ji Xunjiang leads Su Fei, Du Tianwu and the army they lead.
"The grain and grass from the granary in the West City were immediately distributed to the military camps, with full supply based on headcount. All the empty houses and inns in the south of the city were vacated for the cavalry troops to be stationed. It was necessary to ensure that there were sufficient horse feeds. Dozens of military doctors were also dispatched to go to the military camps in turn for inspections. Soldiers who were not acclimated to the environment could be diagnosed and treated immediately."
Du Tianwu observed along the way and saw that Ji Xunjiang arranged everything properly and thoughtfully, and he felt a little more appreciative of the Yan Kingdom governor.
Su Fei is walking on the other side.
Placing an army of 100,000 troops is not an easy task. From dividing camps, distributing food and grass, to counting weapons and setting up sentries, everything is complicated.
Ji Xunjiang accompanied me throughout the whole process, before and after the run, but there was never any complaint.
Du Tianwu ordered his subordinate Deputy General to take the lead in docking, and Su Fei also asked Imperial Guard to disperse throughout the military camp to investigate hidden dangers and prepare for the White Lotus Sect's sneak attack at night.
When the smoke rose from the barracks, all sentries were ready.
The night is filled with darkness and the bright moon is hanging high.
Ji Xunjiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile on his face.
"General Du, Marquis Su, thank you for the hard work of traveling and arranging the army."
"The Sheriff's Mansion has prepared a small banquet. Although it is not a sign of respect, I would like to ask you two to move aside and allow me to show my friendship as a landlord."
Su Fei and Du Tianwu looked at each other and saw a tacit understanding in each other's eyes.
Ji Xunjiang works hard and is polite and courteous, but if he shirks it, it will appear to be unreasonable.
Moreover, through the banquet, we can also explore the situation of Upper Valley Commandery and the movements of the White Lotus Sect rebels.
Du Tianwu nodded.
"Commandery Governor Ji You're welcome, then I won't bother you two."
The Sheriff's Mansion is located in the center of the county town, with a red gate and high walls, reflecting the orderliness of the mansion.
Stepping into the Sheriff's Mansion, the palace lanterns hanging in the corridor lit up one after another, and the warm yellow lights reflected the flowers and trees in the courtyard.
