Chapter 971 True Dragon

At the end of the third year of Zhonghe, the Chang'an court had issued an edict to impose a general amnesty in the world, and exempted taxes from Henan, Guanlong and Hedong next year. At the same time, it was announced that next year would be the first year of Zhenlong. Li Keyong did not celebrate the New Year in Taiyuan. On the 18th day of the 12th lunar month, Li Keyong ordered the rebuilt cavalry Black Crow Army, 5,000 infantry Tielin Army, 5,000 Yier Army, and 3,000 three thousand yarns. A total of 18,000 people left the main land and headed south. After Li Keyong entered Wang Chongrong's Hezhong Town, he prepared to go directly to Heyang Town, cross the Yellow River from the Heyang Bridge, directly into Zhengzhou, and go to Bianzhou. As a result, the Heyang Jiedushi Zhuge Shuang was full of vigilance against Li Keyong, afraid that the one-eyed dragon would take a false way to destroy Guo, so he found several reasons and refused Li Keyong's passage.

When the messenger sent back the news, Li Keyong was furious and almost led his troops to siege Mengzhou, Heyang. He did not expect that even a fence-bearer like Zhuge Shuang would dare to turn him out. Fortunately, his subordinates persuaded him, he regained some rationality. This time he went south to Zhu Wen, not Zhuge Shuang, and could not lose his big fortune. In the end, Li Keyong had to swallow his anger and lead his troops south from Hezhong Town, crossed the river in Fengling, entered Shanzhou, then passed Luoyang, and then went to Zhengzhou to Bianzhou.

Just as Li Keyong marched south, the New Year finally arrived, the first day of the first lunar month, New Year's Day, and the first year of the Zhenlong of the Tang Dynasty.

It was on this day that the people in Yanjing City learned from the announcements all over the streets that the Qin King, who had been rumored to establish a new emperor for half a year, was just a rumor. The Qin King did not enthrone the new emperor, and even had a very close relationship with the Chang'an court.

The Emperor of Chang'an conferred the King of Qin as General of Tiance, Shangshu Ling, the Grand Secretary of Shaanxi Daxingtai, the Grand Marshal of the World, the fake Huang Yue, Pingzhang's military and national affairs and other series of important positions. What surprised everyone was that the court appointed King Mu as the military and national affairs, and in Yanjing, a left-behind team headed by King Li Jing, Zhao Li Si, and Ji Li Bao were also the three Pingzhang's military and national affairs. In addition to these, the emperor would also marry the niece of the King of Qin as the empress.

Since the tense years ago, I have become intimate in the blink of an eye, which surprised everyone and breathed a sigh of relief.

Years of war have made everyone very nervous and even their lives have been greatly affected. If they can stay in peace with the court, or even take a short rest for a few years, everyone will be happy. No one is willing to fight, and war is closely related to everyone. What makes many Qin people even more happy is that after reaching a peace agreement with the court, more than 100,000 people who were plundered before the New Year on the border will be returned, which means reunion of relatives for many people.

The dark clouds of the war dissipated, and the atmosphere in the Qin vassal world was full of joy during this New Year, especially in Yanjing City. This place was even more cheerful and lively.

Chengtian Gate, the south gate of the Yanjing Royal City, is also the main gate. Inside Chengtian Gate is the royal city, and in front of the gate is Chengtian Gate Square. The huge Chengtian Gate Palace Square isolates the imperial city from the inner city. There are also royal city walls separated from the inner city walls.

The distance between the royal city and the inner city is extremely large, especially in front of Chengtian Gate. There is also a magnificent Chengtian Gate Palace Square here. This huge street and square not only separates the royal city from the inner city, sets off the majesty of the royal city, but also strengthens the security defense of the royal city. Moreover, this huge square and street has become the place for the major celebrations in Yanjing.

At this time, on the first day of the first year of the Zhenlong, the square was filled with people, and people were wearing new and festive clothes everywhere.

If it weren't for the Nine Gate Admiral's Office, the Five City Military and Horse Office, the Six Imperial Guards, etc., who had made preparations in advance, they would all be dispatched to maintain order on this day and limit the number of people entering the square, even the spacious Chengtianmen Square would have the possibility of being crowded.

Despite the many restrictions, the number of people pouring into the square still exceeded 400,000. This was not only the locals in Yanjing, but also a large number of people came from Yanxi, and many even came from the distant Bohai Sea, even Annan and other places. Especially during the New Year, it was the important day for officials from various provinces, prefectures and counties in the Qin vassal area to come to Yanjing to discuss matters, so it became even more lively. What's more, this year, there were millions of Fan and Han troops gathered near Yanjing. Even if only a small number of the million troops received the order to enter Beijing, it still made the city of Yanjing this time full of people.

There are more than 400,000 soldiers and civilians in the entire Chengtianmen Square, which does not include the 100,000 imperial guards responsible for the garrison of Yanjing and nearly 100,000 other guards in the capital. There are more than 400,000 people in the square, and many people who cannot enter the square celebrate in the inner city, outer city, and even twelve small acropolis. According to statistics from the Five City Military and Masjids, a large number of people have started to flow into Yanjing a week ago. By New Year's Day, in addition to the 400,000 soldiers and civilians entering the square, more than 500,000 people in the inner city celebrated on the street. In addition, the 12 gate forts in the outer city and the Acropolis have combined more than one million people.

This was a huge celebration. More than two million military and civilians were celebrated throughout Yanjing City. These days, more than one million people flocked to the center of the Qin vassal state.

This is a sea of ​​joy. On the Chengtian Gate Tower, Li Yi, the king of military affairs, stood there. At the age of ten, he was full of excitement in his eyes. Half a step behind him, the King of Qin Li Jing, who was in the important military affairs of Pingzhang, was wearing a crown on his head. Behind him were King Zhao Li of Pingzhang and King Ji Li Bao.

Behind them were the important civil and military officials of the Qin vassal, and several envoys sent from Chang'an were also standing on the city tower to watch.

The Grand Tutor Cui Yunqing, the Grand Tutor Zheng Ting, the Grand Marshal Zheng Cong, the Situ Wang Duo, the Sikong Yu Cong, the Taigu Cui Anqian, the Shangzhu Kingdom Zhang Zimian, the Tong Zhang serving Li Zhuo, and the Shizhong Yu Jun...

Those who were once important officials of the Li Tang Dynasty, but now they are all standing behind Li Jing and becoming members of this emerging force.

There were already crowds of people on both sides of the square, with lights and decorations everywhere.

After Li Jing and others climbed the city gate tower, the guard of honor that had already prepared immediately sounded 108 cannons. The huge cannon sounded rumbling, and the military band played the passionate military music.

After a passionate music, the square had become quiet and everyone held their breath.

A macaque red horse rode down the Chang'an Street, which was sixty feet wide, was 16 lanes high and eight lanes high and eight, and was sprinting like drum beats.

Under the gaze of attention, the knight wearing golden light and full of armor immediately came to the Jinshui Bridge under Chengtian Gate, took off his helmet, held the helmet in his left hand, and saluted the city gate tower with his right hand.

After taking off his helmet, many people have recognized that this is the eldest disciple of the thirteen disciples of the Qin King, Liu Xun, the great Taibao of the Thirteen Taibao. The Taibao who was granted the title of Taibao by the Chang'an court, the General of the Left Jinwu Guard, the Zhuguo, and the Duke of Guangning County, and Liu Xun, the Nine Gate Admiral of Qin Fan, the head of the Jinjia Shengjie Army, and the commander of the Wansheng Legion. There were a series of dazzling halos on his head, but he was actually only twenty-five years old.

"The admiral of the Nine Gates of Yanjing, the commander of the Jinjia Shengjie Army, the commander of the Wansheng Legion, the champion general, the Zhuguo, and the commander of the New Year's Day military parade, the three-star Lieutenant General Liu Xun, report to the Grand Marshal. The military parade ceremony is ready, please give instructions!"

Li Jing looked at the majestic Liu Xun with a smile on his face. This kid showed his face today, wearing a gorgeous full body armor, but put on the full set of medals on the shiny breastplate. Not only was he worn on the left breastplate, but he even wore the right chest. It can be seen that he did not keep his real mouth at home today, but replaced the imitation and put on all the real things. Just looking at the medals and commemorative medals can make people look at him with admiration.

Li Jing took a step forward and bowed.

"The military parade begins!"

After saying that, Li Jing went down to the city gate tower next time, where his mount, a famous Western Region horse, a giant sweat-blooded horse with a golden body with a shoulder height of seven feet. This is a giant among horses. He raised his head, his head was eight feet high, his hooves were seven feet high, and his weight was more than 1,500 kilograms of hay, twenty kilograms of millet grain a day, and he had to drink 20 kilograms of water a day. Generally, such deformed horses look tall, but most of them can only be used as horse pullers and cannot run fast.

The BMW among this BMW can truly travel thousands of miles a day. Moreover, this horse is very fierce, and even has to eat ten kilograms of beef every day. Not only can it ride in wars, but it can even bite and kick people. It is difficult for ordinary people to get close, let alone ride. The messenger of the Eastern Romans gave this giant horse as a gift to Li Jing, but was surprised to find that Li Jing tamed the giant horse. Li Jing named this horse Land Rover and became the tallest and most majestic among the many Li Jing's royal horses.

This time, Li Jing refused the proposal to ride in a convertible carriage during the military parade, but rode directly on the Land Rover to inspect the troops.

Sure enough, when Li Jing appeared in Chengtianmen Square on this giant war horse that was taller than most people, the people watching the ceremony on both sides of Chang'an Street made huge screams. He put on a golden armor, a golden crown on his head, a golden sword on his waist, a golden battle spear in his hand, and a golden Land Rover under his crotch, he was like a war god in the sky descending to earth.

In ancient times, there were Lu Bu and Red Rabbit among horses! Now there are kings, Li Jing and Land Rover among horses!

Under the escort of the 108 most brave non-commissioned officers, Li Jing began to inspect the soldiers who were preparing to go on stage at Chang'an East Street. Chang'an Street was eighteen miles long, bounded by Chengtianmen, with Chang'an East Street to the east and Chang'an West Street to the west. The boundary between the inner city and the royal city is 60 meters wide and can drive side by side with one hundred cavalry.

The 108 non-commissioned officers who followed Li Jing were all replaced with golden golden python-shaped armor today, and everyone wore a sword. These 108 cavalry were all the most brave non-commissioned officers in the Battle of Bohai. Each of them was covered with medals and commemorative medals of major battles. They were all young, under the age of thirty, and were all from ordinary Han families. They were awarded medals and became a nobleman of the knights because of their bravery and outstanding performance in battle.

It is a huge honor to be the guard of the King of Qin at the military parade, and everyone is an elite child selected from a hundred.

Li Jing rode a Land Rover all the way forward, constantly saluting the troops waiting to go on the field for review.

"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!"

"Long live!"
