After returning to Dingzhou, Mo Wen lived in the Dongcheng military camp, which was very empty with only a few hundred soldiers.
Two days after the imperial court had withdrawn to Dingzhou, the crown prince and the officials of the Taiwei Mansion, who were in charge of military affairs, understood the matter better than Shi Zhen and knew how glorious the battle was.
After reading the holy decree, Mo Wen frowned, he frowned not because he became the first prince with a foreign surname in Zhao State, but because the last sentence of the holy decree gave marriage to Princess Yu begging for wings Agu Zhen, a thousand years will be good, and ten thousand years will be concentric.
After reading the holy decree, it happened that Shi Zhen came in from outside, and Mo Wen handed the holy decree to Shi Zhen.
"They didn't allow you to play" Shi Zhen saw that Mo Wen's expression was different, and he took the holy decree in confusion.
Mo Wen didn't answer, Shi Zhen had seen the battle report sent back to Yecheng before, and it didn't mention the marriage, and there was only one Haidongqing in Dingzhou, so it was impossible for her to secretly send a letter back, which means that the marriage was not what she requested.
Shi Zhen took the holy decree and looked at it quickly, then turned to look sideways at Mo Wen, trying to figure out his attitude towards this matter from Mo Wen's expression.
"I didn't expect my father to really give marriage."
Shi Zhen saw that Mo Wen had been expressionless, and cautiously made a tentative speech.
"Please Ling Zun take back his order, I am already disloyal to the Jin Kingdom to help you recover the three counties, so don't trap me in unfilial piety again."
Mo Wen said calmly.
Shi Zhenyan's face instantly showed disappointment when he heard this, Mo Wen's tone was very calm, and the calmer he was, the more it showed that there was no room for looping in this matter.
"There's always a way to make up for mistakes, right?"
Shi Zhen hoped.
"Not all mistakes can be remedied."
Mo Wen took a sip of the teacup, the marriage was still because of Shi Zhen, although she did not take the initiative to ask this time, she must have said it in front of Emperor Zhao before.
"Can we leave this matter for later, when you recover the three counties and sixteen states, we ask our father to permanently reduce the taxes of the Zhao State."
Shi Zhen said.
"I am dedicated to helping the people of Zhao because of the death of my parents, if my parents are still there, I will be the first to honor them."
Mo Wen smiled and shook his head, "The people are not my relatives after all, and they have no nurturing grace for me." ” "You're right, this matter is indeed in a hurry, I immediately replied and asked for a postponement."
Shi Zhen was cautious and discussed.
If Shi Zhen had a nonsensical look at this time, Mo Wen would have turned her face immediately, but she didn't do that, but kept lowering her posture and asking for discussion, which made Mo Wen unable to speak coldly to her.
"Please Ling Zun take back his fate, or I will leave immediately."
Mo Wen stiffened his heart and shook his head resolutely.
"This matter has been announced to the world, it's okay to withdraw from relatives, can you not publicize it with great fanfare, and leave me a little bit of face" Shi Zhen smiled embarrassedly and bitterly.
Mo Wen pondered for a moment and nodded, he didn't accept the marriage because he already had Ah Jiu, and there was a threshold in his heart that he couldn't overcome, as long as he had an explanation for himself and Ah Jiu, there was no need to care what the world thought.
"I'll go back to the court immediately."
Shi Zhen put down the holy decree, got up and walked out.
Although Mo Wen resolutely refused the marriage, deep down he felt hurt Shi Zhen, and wanted to say a few words of comfort to appease her, but when the words came to his mouth, he forcibly held back, and the emotional things were most afraid of being entangled, and kindness could easily be misunderstood by the other party as affection, so it was better not to say it.
After Shi Zhen left, Mo Wen summoned Pu Xiong, "The imperial decree has arrived, and the soldiers in the battalion left Dingzhou and returned to Yecheng on the same day, went to the Taiwei Mansion to receive the reward, and then returned to their hometowns." ” Hearing this, Pu Xiong nodded in agreement and went out to gather the soldiers.
After a while, the soldiers lined up, Mo Wen read out the holy decree of the Zhao court, and the five hundred soldiers fell to their knees, thanking Mo Wen for his heavy reward and support.
Mo Wen was not hypocritical and humble, and after saying a few parting words to everyone, he allocated military rations, arranged for everyone to return, and after lunch, everyone left the camp to the west.
"General Pu, you go back too."
Mo Wenchong said to Puxiong, who did not ride out of the camp on horseback.
"Appreciated by real people, the last general is already ranked in the first grade, and he can't be promoted to the third level, and he doesn't get any benefits, how can the last general go" Pu Xiong said with a smile.
"Your mind is poor, but the future war will become more and more dangerous, you may lose your life at any time, you and I are already friends, if you die in battle, Poor Dao will inevitably be sad, you better go."
Mo asked the detective to pat Pu Xiong's shoulder, people who have experienced the battle of life and death will cherish their lives more and more, this time everyone is gone, but Pu Xiong remains, this loyalty is commendable.
"Real people can't be without people who are self-conscious, and they will always follow real people until they retire."
Pu Xiong shook his head.
Mo Wen nodded when he heard this, "Don't be more vulgar in the future." ” After everyone left, only the defenders who came to see the garrison and Mo Wen Puxiong were left in the huge military camp, although Pu Xiong respected Mo Wen, but he did not have the enthusiastic actions of those villains, and did not take the opportunity to curry favor, he has been living in his own room, unless there is something to report, he does not bother Mo Wen at other times.
Yecheng to Dingzhou is very far away, it will take a month for the army sent by Zhao to arrive, and after three days, Mo Wen's injuries have healed, and the rest of the time is only waiting.
He had the intention to take the opportunity to go to the nameless mountain and the wilderness to see Ah Jiu and Lao Wu, hesitated for a long time and finally did not dare to go, at this time the torrent of the Eastern Meadow has receded, the Yan army may make a comeback at any time, there are not many defenders in Dingzhou City at present, there are scruples with him sitting in the Yan army, if he leaves, the Yan army may take advantage of the weakness.
Shi Zhen never returned to Heijun, but stayed in Dingzhou to discuss with Mo Wen how to advance the follow-up war, Mo Wen did not ask about the result of the resignation, Shi Zhen did not mention it anymore, stayed in the government at night, and did not often go to the military camp to disturb him.
Ten days later, the five thousand cavalry came first, and I don't know whether the court took into account his personal preferences or the Hu cavalry was afraid of death and did not dare to come, these five thousand cavalry were all Han Chinese, Pu Xiong was very dissatisfied when he saw these cavalry, these people were mostly new soldiers, and their bodies were not strong, far less brave than the Hu cavalry.
There was cavalry coming, Dingzhou had defensive forces, Mo Wen could no longer hold back the idea of going west, and prepared to get up and go west that evening.

Just as Mo Wen was about to go out with the official documents and battle reports at the table, there was a knock at the door.
"Who is coming" Mo Wen frowned slightly, there was wind tonight, and someone came without noticing.
"Mo Zhenren, Gui San is visiting."
Gui Sanniang's voice came from outside the door.
"Please come in."
In order to be perfect, Mo Wen did not go to open the door, although Gui Sanniang had secretly reported to him, he did not fully believe Gui Sanniang, after all, they belonged to different camps.
After Mo Wen spoke, Gui Sanniang pushed the door in, closed the door and bowed to Mo Wen, "I've seen Mo Zhenren, don't come to real people unharmed" "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, thank you for your concern, everything is fine, I promised you the news earlier, Zhao Jun was able to retreat smoothly, and this favor has been recorded."
Mo Wen raised his hand lightly and invited Gui Sanniang to take a seat.
"How dare you make up for the mistake of being admitted by Mo Zhenren, Mo Zhenren's humanity is through the sky, the divine power is invincible, and the previous battle is really true" "I don't know why you're here this time," Mo Wen smiled and interrupted Gui Sanniang's sycophancy.
"Previously, thanks to the real person's hand, Gui San had nothing to repay, and today I accidentally found a green-blooded nine-leaf clover, and I came to present it to the real person, and I hope the real person will not dislike it."
After Gui Sanniang finished speaking, she took out a long cloth bag from her bosom and put it on the wooden table next to her, then got up and gave her hand, "In this way, I won't disturb the real person Qingxiu, Gui San will retire." ” "The mountain road is difficult, so it's good to walk slowly."
Mo Wen got up to see off the guests.
Seeing that Mo Wen did not refuse its gift, Gui Sanniang showed joy and went out happily.
Mo Wen knows the intention of Gui Sanniang's arrival this time, Gui Sanniang is a beast into a spirit of plants and trees rather than a beast into a person, a beast into a person can walk around, but the grass and trees become a spirit but there is a certain area of activity, Gui Sanniang reported the message before the formation and came to present the gift today is to leave a way back for itself, those birds and beasts are like wild monks without a temple, and they can run away at any time.
It is a monk with a temple, and it can't run far, so it will pave the road first to avoid being found and cut down by Mo Wen after the Yan army is defeated and retreated.
The nine-leaf clover is an aphrodisiac, but it is useless to Mo Wen, the reason why he did not refuse is to make Gui Sanniang feel at ease, he originally had no intention of holding Gui Sanniang accountable, after experiencing Lin Ruochen's incident, he always has a tolerant attitude towards those who are compromised because of the coercion of their lives.
As soon as Gui Sanniang left, Shi Zhen pushed the door and entered.
"Who is the woman who left the east of the camp just now," Shi Zhen held the well-restored crane in his hand.
"A goblin on the Yan Army's side reported to me before the battle," Mo Wen raised his hand and pointed to the cloth bag that Gui Sanniang had placed on the wooden table, "This time I came over and sent me a nine-leaf clover." ” Shi Zhen put down the crane, walked to the wooden table and picked up the cloth bag, "Why did she give you a gift?"
"It's a grass and tree essence, and the body is not far from here, and it is worried that I will hold it accountable after the Yan army retreats, so I came to bribe it before."
Mo Wen said casually.
"What nine-leaf clover, this is clearly the Purple Sheep Weed, why did she send you this," Shi Zhen looked at the plant that still had dirt in his eyes.
"Sheep weed is a nine-leaf clover, and it may not be able to find anything else in a hurry.
You've come just in time, I'm going to go out, and I'll be back before the infantry and archers arrive.
Mo Wen straightened the official documents on the table.
"Where are you going?"
asked Shi Zhen.
"Go to Kunlun Mountain to see an old man."
Mo Wen did not hide Shi Zhen.
"Are you worried that the news of your father's marriage will reach the ears of that fox spirit, and it will be misunderstood," Shi Zhen's words were not without jealousy.
"The marriage was originally wishful thinking on your part."
Shi Zhen's title to Ah Jiu aroused Mo Wen's disgust.
"Take this, see the vixen in use."
Shi Zhen's brutal princess temperament reappeared, and angrily threw the nine-leaf clover at Mo Wen.
"I'm going crazy again after pretending to be a few days" Mo asked the nine-leaf clover and raised his eyebrows to look at Shi Zhen.
"I'm going crazy, don't let me see it, or this palace will definitely skin it."
Shi Zhen was furious.
"I'm right outside the door, you can peel it."
A woman's laughter came from outside the door:
