The next day, on the outskirts of the south of Chang'an City.

The sky is clear, the breeze blows gently, the leaves of the forest sway in the wind, and the grass spits out tender sprouts in the warm sun.

The envoys of various countries invited to participate in the parade came to the city tower early, and when they looked down, there were still many people who came to watch.

When Liu Xie heard the news, he also led the civil and military officials to the city tower.

In fact, the ruler's review of the armed forces has a long history, as early as the Xia and Shang periods, there were military parades.

Later, after the development and evolution of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was officially named after the word 'military parade' in the Han Dynasty. Both the central and local armies are generally held once a year in the fall. It is called "autumn shooting", "proofreading" or "all trying". There is a capital test lang in the center, and the general review is to learn the martial arts.

It is only because in recent years, warlords have been fighting for years and riots have broken out in various places, so there has never been a large-scale military parade.

The last time there was a large-scale military parade was eleven years ago, when the moths and thieves were so loud that they almost threatened the dynastic regime. So Liu Hong optimistically held a military parade in Luoyangping, and called himself the "Supreme General", riding a horse and holding a sword to inspect the Central Army stationed in Luoyang.

Liu Hong still wanted to go to the imperial drive to fight in person at that time, but was dissuaded by hundreds of officials, so he appointed Lu Bu to quell the rebellion instead.

Time flies, and before you know it, it has been eleven years.

Subsequently, Lu Bu also took his three children to the city tower, and when he saw that the Son of Heaven was also here, he bowed his hand to the Son of Heaven.

At three moments, Hao Meng, who was in charge of directing the ceremony, crossed the hundred officials of the Son of Heaven, came to Lu Bu, bowed down and asked, "General, can you start?" ”

As Hao Meng's words landed, most of the officials around the Son of Heaven gritted their teeth and glared angrily.

Outrageous!

In front of so many foreign envoys, he actually regarded the Son of Heaven as nothing. Anyone with a little common sense knows that this kind of major matter should naturally be decided by the Son of Heaven, and you dare to be so temporarily appointed as a servant of the capital, or is it the master of your family, does he want to rebel!

The courtiers who were loyal to the Han family were angry in their hearts, but they did not dare to attack.

Lu Bu didn't overstep his bounds, he turned his cheek slightly and asked the Son of Heaven not far away: "Your Majesty, what do you say?" ”

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, so he had to follow Lu Bu's words and say, "Then let's start." ”

Hao Meng looked at the lord, and after seeing the latter nodding, he shouted the order: "Parade, start!" ”

Woo woo ~ woo woo ~ ~~

The long, low sound of the horn echoed in the heavens and the earth, and the soldiers in charge of beating the drums below struck the drumsticks on the drum surface with great force, making a rapid drum sound of 'dong dong dong', which was inspiring.

In the distance, a black cavalry was the first to appear in people's field of vision.

Here it comes!

The people below were boiling for a moment, but as the cavalry slowly approached, the cheers of the people gradually diminished until they fell silent.

There is no other reason, but the ferocious momentum is too depressing, so that these civilians who have never been on the battlefield are a little unbearable.

These soldiers all rode tall horses, dressed in inky light armor, and held six-foot-long armor swords in their hands, and on the left and right sides of the horse's back, were hard bows and quivers.

The general who led the army first held a big banner, and the scarlet banner was engraved with a big 'Lu' character.

Wolf Riding Camp!

The name of this team is about to come out.

Under the watchful eye, the wolf cavalry battalion walked to the center of the city tower, Chen Wei, who commanded the wolf cavalry battalion, made a stop gesture, and all the three thousand soldiers behind him turned around and faced the city tower.

Swish!

Not only are the movements neat, but also crisp and neat.

"That's amazing!" The envoy of the Weitou country sighed.

The reception official next to him introduced him: "Hacha envoy, this is the most elite cavalry under the general, and it is also the foundation of the general's fortune. It is said that the general relied on this strong force to successfully prevent the invasion of the Xianbei people, and hit Xianbei hard, reversing the situation behind and turning defense into attack. ”

"All the soldiers of the wolf cavalry battalion, salute the general~~~!"

Chen Weimao was full of energy, and the tiger roared.

The three thousand soldiers flipped the handle of the knife in their hands at the same time, the blade was facing downward, and then the left hand was pressed against the fist of the right hand holding the knife, and they all lowered their arrogant heads, and the roar went straight to the nine skies: "The soldiers of the wolf cavalry battalion see the general!" ”

Lu Bu raised his hand indifferently, and when Hao Meng saw this, he shook the small blue flag in his hand.

Chen Wei understood, straightened up on the horse's back, pulled the reins of the horse again, and led the soldiers of the wolf cavalry battalion behind him to the open space on the right.

The wolf cavalry battalion was the first to appear, and the second team that followed was still a cavalry army that was waiting for the battle, although the equipment was a little worse, but it was still high-spirited, and the number was far superior to the wolf cavalry battalion.

The leader was Wei Musheng, who was relocated to the position of general, and the once sharp young man was now past his prime, growing a black and hard beard, adding a bit of roughness and might to the originally handsome face.

When he came to the bottom of the city tower, Wei Musheng also turned his horse's head and shouted loudly towards the city tower: "All the soldiers of the flying cavalry battalion, salute the general!" ”

The soldiers of the 5,000 Flying Cavalry Battalion immediately threw the spears in their hands into the ground, clenched their fists and shouted loudly: "Flying Cavalry Battalion soldiers, meet the general!" ”

The roaring sound was deafening, more than twice as big as the wolf riding camp of Fang Cai.

As the two signature cavalry armies under Lu Bu's command, the Flying Cavalry Battalion has always regarded the wolf cavalry battalion as a fierce rival, and often competes in secret.

Lu Bumu on the city tower was relieved that the flying cavalry battalion could have the scale and strength it has today, becoming second only to the wolf cavalry battalion, and Wei Musheng should have made great contributions.

"It's worthy of the elite under the command of the lord!" Sun Ce's eyes, who were watching from the side, were full of envy.

The Jiangdong County where he is located is full of rivers and lakes, and the land is mostly mountainous and hilly, which is not suitable for large-scale accumulation of cavalry at all.

Ma Chao heard this, shook his head and said: "The wolf cavalry camp and the flying cavalry camp are good, but if you want to say that there are only these two strong teams in the world, my Liangzhou Jiaqi and Qiang iron cavalry are ironclad and unconvinced!" ”

If it weren't for the sake of deterring the situation, Ma Chao really wanted to pull the Liangzhou Iron Horse out to slip away, so that these people from the Western Regions could open their eyes. Let them know that the people of Liangzhou are not only fierce, but also brave in Kyushu.

"My God, how much money does it cost to form so many cavalry troops!" The envoy of the Western Night Kingdom stared at his blue eyes wide, like a country man who had seen the prosperity of the city for the first time, and exclaimed in surprise.

It is no wonder that the Western Night Kingdom is only a small country in the south of the Western Regions, with a total population of only more than 10,000 people, and the strength of the country is only 3,000 soldiers and horses. Now Lu Bu is holding a military parade casually, and there are 7,000 elite cavalry troops, more than twice the total strength of the Western Night Kingdom.

Yesterday, Lu Bu said that he wanted King Qiuzi to step down, and many envoys thought it was a joke, but now when they see this battle, their cheeks are hot, not that Lu Bu does not have this strength, but that they are arrogant and sit in the well and watch the sky.

"The cavalry army is a money-burning machine, and small families like us will probably not be able to form it in this life." Someone sighed.

Chen Gong, who served as the imperial historian, heard these envoys sigh and said with a smile: "Under the jurisdiction of the general, there are many large pastures in Hetao and Shuofang in Bingzhou, which are dedicated to raising war horses. If you are interested, you may wish to negotiate with the Shogun at that time. ”

A few years ago, Lu Bu discussed with Chen Gong and others, saying that he would open Hu City in the north of Bingzhou and trade with the Western Regions.

If it weren't for Song Jian's sudden rebellion, Hu City in Bingzhou would have been open for business long ago.

The main purpose of Kaihu City, in addition to collecting intelligence, can also transport the jewelry of the Western Regions to various places in the Central Plains for sale.

Buy at a low price and sell at a high price, this business is definitely the fastest money.

With money, we can build better armaments, raise more troops, and further expand and expand our strength.

After the Flying Cavalry Battalion descended, a heavy infantry squad followed.

Judging from the small number of people, there are only a few hundred, and it seems that it will not be much of a climate.

However, reality has given these underestimated people a hard slap in the face.

When the trapped camp stepped into the parade ground, the shields held by the soldiers suddenly raised in front of their chests, and the steel knives held in their right hands slammed into the shield again and again like a machine, emitting a strong aura of slaughter.

This is not the end, when the trapping camp was about to walk to the central field below the city tower, Gao Shun, the leader of the army, suddenly shouted: "The will to fall into battle!" ”

"There is death and no life!"

"There is death and no life!"

The neatly trapped soldiers behind him made a posture of preparing to fight, roaring into the sky, and stomped on the ground with both feet, emitting a dull thunder that made the earth tremble.

Obviously, there were only seven or eight hundred people, but they were stunned to walk out of the momentum of thousands of people.

The envoys of various countries on the city tower all changed color, just the cavalry was powerful, and this foot soldier was not like he was dying. The blades that flashed with cold light, as well as the fierce eyes that looked at death as if they were at home, made them feel cold in their hearts.

"The last general, Gao Shun, led seven hundred and ninety-four soldiers in the camp, and he has seen the lord!" Gao Shun, who looked majestic, lifted his leg armor and knelt on one knee with a fist.

"I've seen the lord!"

The soldiers behind him also knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.

The soldiers trapped in the camp are all carefully selected, and the combat effectiveness is naturally needless to say, and from the day of its establishment to the present, the record has never been defeated.

Even after casualties, the strongest and most elite soldiers from each battalion will be selected in time to make up for them. After all, nearly 100 catties of armor are put on the body, and no good body can bear it.

Looking at Gao Shun, who was kneeling below, Lu Bu had a special smile on his face.

Gao Shun has followed him for many years, marching and fighting, and commanding the troops, all of which are impeccable.

All in all, he was faithful and capable, and he never let himself down.

Most importantly, Gao Shun has no ambitions.

Of course, there are also shortcomings, such as being brainless, not flexible, and not getting along with many generals, and easy to offend people.

But in Lu Bu's view, these shortcomings are almost negligible.

Subsequently, the Cavalry Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the Wuwei Battalion appeared one after another.

The envoys of various countries on the city tower experienced a series of psychological changes such as shock, suspicion, and fear, and later, they were directly numb. even began to wonder if Lu Bu could just choose a team to come out and destroy them.

After the parade was completed, the huge open space under the city was already overcrowded.

50,000 soldiers lined up neatly below, with battalions as units, each standing in a phalanx.

"This is the entire army under the command of Da Sima?" An envoy asked in a low voice, in his opinion, the 50,000 soldiers and horses alone were too much.

"Envoy Wulin, you really like to laugh, the soldiers and horses here are not even half of the troops under the command of Da Sima."

The Han official who accompanied him answered patiently, "These 50,000 soldiers and horses are just troops temporarily stationed in Guanzhong. The troops that can be mobilized under the command of Da Sima, in addition to Guanzhong, there are also Bingzhou, Xiliang, Hanzhong, Sili and other places, probably give you an estimate, and it should not be a problem to transfer 200,000 soldiers and horses casually. ”

The envoy of the Wulin Kingdom swallowed his saliva with difficulty, two hundred thousand!

What a horrible number.

The accompanying Han official secretly had fun, how could he know about Lu Bu's troop deployment, he just said it casually. However, when I was able to see the surprised appearance of these people from the Western Regions, it was refreshing in my heart.

Lu Bu inadvertently heard this conversation, and he wanted to laugh in his heart. Adding up all his existing troops, it is only about 250,000 or 60,000, and it is a bit exaggerated to say that 200,000 soldiers and horses can be transferred casually.

But looking at the appearance of the envoy, it seems that he really believes it.

Lu Bu's military parade this time was actually mainly to show these small countries in the Western Regions the military strength of the Han Dynasty and play a deterrent role.

Looking at the panicked demeanor of these envoys now, it is clear that the purpose has been achieved.

Afterwards, Lu Bu gave Hao Meng a look, signaling that today's military parade could be over.

Hao Meng understood, put away the small flag in his hand, and shouted at the soldiers facing down: "Lu Zi flag!" ”

"Invincible! Invincible! ”

"Invincible! Invincible! ”

This roar was like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, causing countless reverberations.

The sound of drums and trumpets resounded violently, accompanied by the excitement and roar of the soldiers, and soared into the sky.

"Lao Tzu's goosebumps are up, it's so hot-blooded! It makes me want to join the army! ”

"Call me when the time comes, if you can join such an army, you can do it for nothing!"

"And me!"

"Me!"

In the crowd of onlookers below, the peasant men were also enthusiastic, shouting one by one to enlist in the army.

Everyone celebrated, but Liu Xie didn't see a smile on his face.

"What a good son of the Han family, it's a pity that all of them are Lu Bu's minions. From the beginning to the end, no one cared about me at all! In this world, is the surname Liu or the surname Lu? ”

Liu Xie glanced at Lu Bu over there, and there was a little self-deprecation in his helpless voice, some jealousy, and some resentment.

As the curtain fell, a drowned sound sounded in the tower amid the shouts of the soldiers, the beating of drums, and the sound of trumpets.

"Dog thief, come here!"

"Daddy, be careful!"

The mastermind behind this assassin, I'm afraid you can't guess it, O(∩_∩)O haha~
