In the afternoon!

The monarchs and envoys of the Western Regions who had nothing to do in the post house suddenly received an urgent summons from Emperor Shengwu, so they rushed to Ziwei City one after another.

This is the first time they have entered Ziwei City, a group of people enter the palace from the end gate, overlooking the Qianyang Hall covered with ice and snow, magnificent, majestic, it is like a sword that looks down on the world, the edge points straight to the sky, dotted with palaces on both sides of the grand scale, magnificent.

With the approach of Ying Tianmen, these monarchs and envoys from the Western Regions were more and more shocked in their hearts, Ziwei City was more and more majestic than the most magnificent palace city they had ever seen, and it was many times more majestic.

The Yingtianmen in front of them also subverted their perception of the 'door', not so much that it is a door, but rather a huge palace group is more appropriate, it is composed of the gatehouse, the Duolou and the east and west towers and the corridor in between, it is a huge building complex in the shape of "concave" facing north, the left and right are connected, and the middle is connected by the corridor, just like a pavilion in the air.

Ying Tianmen two-way three out of the que, east and west sides of a total of 12 que, the wall is all wrapped with blue bricks, it appears thick and solid, this is not only the highest level of the city gate system, but also the highest ritual system enjoyed by the Son of Heaven.

Forty-three zhang long from east to west, fifteen zhang straight high, there are two views on the main gate, the upper title "should be the gate of heaven" three bucket gold characters, the two sides of the city que straight high 12 zhang, there are city towers, arrow towers, gate towers respectively, towering volleys, majestic momentum.

These kings and envoys were dazzled in front of Yingtianmen, like hillbillies, looking left and right, and every building made them feel shocked and amazed!

"It's so great, it's a miracle for Allah...... King Guizi exclaimed.

"You're wrong, it's a gift from God, and only God has such magical powers!" King Shule showed the same amazement, but refuted King Qiuzi's words.

"You're all wrong! This is the manifestation of the Buddha's will. The king of Khotan refuted it with his own faith.

"What you say is the greatest insult to Allah......" King Guizi's eyes turned red.

King Shule rolled up his sleeves and said, "You are the one who has the greatest disrespect for God..."

"You are disrespectful to the Buddha!" Yu Khotan said unwillingly.

The three kings, for the sake of their beliefs, talked like children, touching each other's bottom line of faith.

There are many countries in the Western Regions, and their beliefs are also different.

Zhang Xuan, the attendant of the ceremonial department, listened to their argument with blunt words, and said proudly: "It is not Allah, God, or Buddha who created these wonders, but the embodiment of the wisdom of my Dasui for thousands of years, this brick and tile, wood and stone are carefully carved by my Dasui skilled craftsmen, and then assembled in a way that Allah, God, and Buddha do not know to form the Yingtian Gate in front of us." ”

"Ziwei City is the palace of ten thousand palaces, the king of ten thousand palaces, the main gate is Yingtianmen, and the main hall is Qianyang Palace; The three major halls are the Qianyang Palace, the Shengwu Palace, the Huiyou Palace, the five gates are the Yingtian Gate, the Qianyuan Gate, the Candle Dragon Gate, the Shengwu Gate, the Huiyou Gate, the whole Ziwei City has the highest etiquette system of the three dynasties and five gates. Ying Tianmen is not the place where the great court meeting is held, in my Great Sui called it the outer court, the middle court is the Qianyang Palace, the inner court is the Shengwu Palace, and the Huiyou Hall located in the inner court is the holy imperial study! The Qianyang Hall and the Holy Martial Hall are more majestic and magnificent than the Yingtianmen! ”

When these hillbillies heard this, they were even more amazed, they only knew that the Great Sui was a rich and powerful country, and they only knew that Yang Tong, who killed the powerful Western Turks, was a great emperor. I don't know the history of the Central Plains, let alone today's Luoyang City and Ziwei City, which are the embodiment of thousands of years of civilization. It's just that they simply feel that the Great Sui is great and unattainable, and they admire this country even more in their hearts.

As the actual person in charge of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Xuan understood the thoughts of these hillbillies, but what he remembered most clearly was Yang Tong's sentence - 'Admiration is envy, and the end of envy is jealousy. The reason why the aliens did not move was not because they were honest and honest, but because they did not dare, and once they had strength, they would show their sharp fangs. When you deal with aliens, you can treat them as docile dogs, cunning foxes, and fierce wolves, but you can't treat them as knowledgeable people. ’

"The Holy One is waiting for you in the Holy Martial Temple! Please......"

Everyone felt that Zhang Xuan's tone had become serious, so they all dressed up one by one: "Squire! Please. ”

Zhang Xuan stopped talking and led a group of people into the main gate of Yingtianmen.

Everyone followed closely and entered the palace surrounded by thousands of Great Sui soldiers covered in Xuan armor.

Yingtianmen and the Qianyuan Gate behind are separated by a huge square.

The spacious square is surrounded by the palace wall, the palace road in the square is very obvious, straight to the south, you can't see the end at a glance, only see the vague outline of the Qianyuan Gate.

On both sides of the palace road, every fifty steps, there is a soldier with bright armor, one by one, not moving, like a spear-like upright posture, like a cliff pine and cypress, standing proudly.

Zhang Xuan led the way in front, and a thousand murderous Xuanjia soldiers followed with their swords, and only the sound of armor collision could be heard in the empty square.

The road was solemn and silent.

Yang Tong's requirements for the previous dynasty were extremely strict, from Yingtianmen to Qianyuan Gate, Qianyang Palace, Candle Dragon Gate, Shengwu Palace, and Shengwu Gate, the palace maids and eunuchs were not allowed to laugh and play, and those who dared to violate the order were severely punished, and the crime was seriously punished.

With the approach of the Qianyuan Gate, everyone felt more and more nervous, and the sound of the soldiers' armor gave people a kind of 'armor is more secluded'. In this way, everyone felt that a mountain of majesty hung over their heads, as if it would crash down at any time!

These people are all human beings in their own country, but at this time, they are so suppressed by this atmosphere that they don't even dare to breathe hard, and they secretly clench their fists one by one, and some people's foreheads are even sweating in this ice and snow.

Seeing that these people gradually became sincere and frightened, Zhang Xuan admired Yang Tong's arrangement very much.

Since ancient times, there is a saying of 'preemptive voice', but the requirements are also extremely high, if not in place, it is a smiling and generous Dong Shi Xiaofeng, Yang Tong in order to deter these big people from foreign countries, the opposite way, so as to get the effect of seizing people's hearts.

These envoys were already extremely surprised to see Luoyang and Yingtianmen, and when they saw the Qianyang Hall towering into the sky, their performance was even worse than before, and the height and grandeur of the hall were far beyond their imagination!

And the magnificent halls they saw along the way were like dragons lying in the snow, and the magnificent momentum made them dare not raise their heads, feeling like ants under the gods of the sky.

When they stepped into the Shengwu Gate, King Qiuzi, who had suppressed this strange atmosphere and almost climbed softly, had a little sense of security, he was the successor of the previous king, not only did he not have the opportunity to participate in the grand event of the coming of all nations in the second year of the Great Cause, but he also did not see Yecheng's martial arts, this time it was the first time he entered Sui in his life, everything he saw made him feel surprised and shocked, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and whispered to the King of Yanqi beside him: "I have long heard that the Central Plains is a powerful and powerful Heavenly Empire, and I didn't believe it before." Today I finally know the meaning of the word 'frog at the bottom of the well', this palace alone is bigger than my royal city, and any palace is more majestic than my palace, and we can't build any palace. ”

There was a mixture of awe and jealousy between the words, and the king of Yanqi was also the successor, and his mood was not much better, but he did not say anything. His country is closer to the territory of the Great Sui, when he was still a prince, he stayed in Daxing City for a long time, in his opinion, even the Eastern Turks, who had millions of troops, were beaten to pieces by the Great Sui who had not yet integrated the power of the world, so it was natural that the Great Sui was strong, he never had the heart to compare, and he naturally wanted nothing if he wanted anything, but he was shocked by the majesty of Ziwei City, but he had no ambition to take it for himself.

However, in his heart, he despised the king of Qiuci Kingdom, although Qiuci Country was stronger than Yanqi Kingdom, but it was only a small border country, compared with the Central Plains Dynasty, it was simply a firefly and a bright moon to compete for glory.

Zhang Xuan glanced back at King Qiuci and said lightly: "The monarch and don't say a word first, the Holy Martial Hall will arrive soon." ”

King Guizi immediately fell silent.

He had inquired before, and heard that the sage Khan was a ruthless man who killed people like hemp, and there was once a country envoy who kindly gave gifts, but because he said the wrong thing, he was destroyed by the Great Sui in a blink of an eye, so it is better to say less (Liang Luoren's gift was exaggerated. ）

After walking a long distance, they saw a majestic palace second only to the Qianyang Palace, with many sculptural gold-armored warriors standing on both sides of the red lacquer and yellow nail gate. ”

"I'm not as good as a little soldier in Da Sui..."The next moment, such a strange idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

Entering the Holy Martial Palace, there is another world inside, the floor tiles are smooth glass, large and heavy, and you can see your own appearance clearly when you lower your head.

The huge pillar carved dragon painting style is magnificent. On the wall of the main wall of the hall, there is an ancient dragon made of brass. The big dragon is lifelike, and every scale and claw seems to have wind and thunder! The dragon's eyes were angry, and the dragon's mouth was wide open, as if he was going to devour everyone in one gulp!

Under the dragon's head, there is a pitch-black dragon case, and the Great Sui Emperor wearing the crown of the twelve chapters is sitting on the throne, and only vague outlines can be seen under the cover of the bead curtain.

More than ten zhang away, and Yang Tong was wearing an imperial crown, and the bead curtain was hanging down, so everyone couldn't see what he looked like at all, and could only vaguely see a heroic silhouette, sitting on the throne, like a mountain. At this moment, everyone felt that there were two sword-like eyes staring at them, like two sword lights, which made people's hearts chill.

Everyone hurriedly bowed down and said, "Meet His Majesty the Sage Khan." ”

Yang Tong raised his hand slightly: "All monarchs and envoys are exempt from courtesy......"

The Shengwu Hall is the hall where the monarchs and ministers of the Great Sui discuss daily government affairs, and there are originally a few cases and chairs in it, but this is the treatment of their own people, and these small countries in the Western Regions, the big ones are less than the number of counties of the Sui Dynasty, and the small ones are only like a big county, regardless of whether he is a king or an envoy, when it comes to the Great Sui, they are just some small roles, treat them, Yang Tong naturally does not need to be polite, the Heavenly Empire is on the shelf, otherwise, how can he enjoy the sense of accomplishment of the Sage Khan.

Looking at the sincere and frightened appearance of these kings and envoys below, Yang Tong was very satisfied, and it seemed that all the previous arrangements were not in vain.

The previous solemn scene of 'the armor hall is more secluded' forcibly implanted a concept of divine power in the hearts of these people, and when they see the emperor high above them in the empty hall, this sense of awe will naturally explode, and the conversation will be much smoother in the future.

This was silent for a long time, and when everyone couldn't stand the pressure, Yang Tong spoke: "Before, the merchant travelers on the Silk Road were attacked by horse thieves, who not only robbed people of money, but also killed people and killed people, so that the interests of the Great Sui and the Western Regions were damaged. After careful and thorough investigation by my Great Sui, I found that this was the work of the army of a certain country... I suspect someone is guarding and stealing it..."

At the bottom of the stairs, everyone only heard it in horror and cold sweat, for fear that Yang Tong would suddenly point to his head and say that he was the mastermind behind the horse thief, if so, then his country would inevitably be destroyed by the angry countries.

Speaking of which, it's also funny.

The soldiers are the soldiers of the countries in the Western Regions, but until now, these kings and envoys don't know where the 30,000 allied troops are used by Yang Tong, and they don't know that Yang Tong doesn't like Tugu and thinks that it has a sign of threatening the southwest of the Great Sui, so they slandered it as a horse thief, and then used the soldiers of the Western Regions to destroy their enemies, and they happened to find the real horse thief leader.

"The real culprit has been found... If it was the army..."

Everyone's hearts were seven up and down, and as Yang Tong's real hammer returned to its original place, the next moment, everyone became indignant, because they knew that they had never done such a thing, so they were very frank indignation and anger.

"The horse thief is Tuyuhun's army," Yang Tong's eyes like knives swept through the main hall, and said in a deep voice: "The Silk Road is one of the economic lifelines of my Tang Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions. Murong Fuyun and King Tugu Hun Tianzhu were jealous in their hearts, so they attacked the Silk Road and intercepted and killed merchants along the way. However, my Great Sui has the Great Wall and an army, so Murong Fuyun's elite cavalry entered the Tulun moraine from the southern foot of Kunlun Mountain. ”

"Is this true of the Sage Khan? That Tuyuhun really dares to be so rampant! The king of Khotan asked aloud.

"You have no jokes!" Yang Tong said in a deep voice: "In the past, when the north and south of the Central Plains were separated, the caravans in the south entered the Western Regions through Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun attached great importance to this economic lifeline, and opened up many new routes of the New Silk Road. ”

"I beg the Holy Khan, for the past business travel!" The king of Khotan bowed to the ground and pleaded loudly. Half of their territory in Khotan is the Tulun Moraine Desert, and the first unlucky object is Khotan, and this is a small country, when they send troops out, they are often killed by Tuyuhun's army.

"I beg the Holy Khan, for the past business travel!"

"I beg the Holy Khan, for the past business travel!"

This snatching people's money is like killing parents, and as a person whose interests are damaged, everyone has asked Yang Tong to uphold justice.

"Tugu Hun wants to be the enemy of the Great Sui and the countries of the Western Regions, it is really a frog at the bottom of the well!" Yang Dong's tone was full of undisguised mockery, to this day, Tuyuhun is not dead and crippled, there is no need to tear it down, "After the Silk Road was attacked, I sent the coalition soldiers to escort the trade road, and then sent people to investigate, knowing that the real culprit was Tuyuhun, I waved my army into Tuyuhun, due to the proper command of the Great Sui General, the coalition soldiers were brave and good at fighting, Tuyuhun has been crippled, if it were not for the fact that the army encountered a snowstorm and had to withdraw the army, there would be no Tuyuhun in the world anymore, but despite this, This evil country is almost gone. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, and the gaze that looked at Yang Tong suddenly became different.

Is Tugu Hun weak?

It's not strong for the Great Sui.

But in the eyes of the countries of the Western Regions, it is a behemoth that cannot be provoked!

But at this moment, according to what Yang Tong said, Tuyuhun seemed to have almost died at the hands of 30,000 allied troops, and after the initial shock, he didn't believe it.

"General Xuan Right Xiaowei, General Zuo Weiwei, General Wei Wei right, General General Lu Jian, General Qiu Shili will meet you."

With Yang Tong's order, Xue Wanche, Niu Jinda, Wei Chigong, Su Dingfang, and Qiu Shili entered the palace proudly.

"The last will see the Holy One." The five generals lined up in a line and bowed their hands.

"No courtesy." Yang Tong waved his hand, and said to the monarchs and envoys: "Xue Wanche, the general of the Right Xiaowei, is the commander of this battle, Wan Che, you will tell the whole story of the matter." ”

Yang Tong looked at his confidant and said with a smile.

"Whoa!" Xue Wanche stepped forward and said!

The beginning and end of the matter began from receiving the order to join Qiu Shili, to running thousands of miles, annihilating the remnants of the Western Qin forces, and approaching Jiyu City, ending with Murong Fuyun begging to confess.

Xue Wanche's eloquence is not good, at least it does not make people feel the swords and swords on the battlefield, generous and tragic, but there is no superfluous and gorgeous words to embellish it, but it hits people's hearts directly, making people deeply feel the tragedy of the war and the bad weather!

"It's a pity that many of the injured soldiers were weak and couldn't stand the bad weather, so they all slept to death on the way back." In the end, Xue Wanche's tone became low.

"Ladies and gentlemen! For the peace of the Silk Road and the glory of the country to which they belong, the soldiers paid their young lives! I have decided to reward the families of these fallen soldiers! Yang Tong looked at everyone and said in a heavy tone: "The money comes out of the spoils, and you don't need to spend a penny, but I hope that you will supervise it in place and send the rewards to the families of the soldiers, so as not to chill the families of these soldiers who sacrificed for the peace of the Silk Road, otherwise, I will be very unhappy." ”

King Yanqi took a few steps forward and said in a loud voice: "Please rest assured that the holy Khan will do his best to supervise the ministers, and there will never be a copper coin for the families of the young soldiers, and for the families of these loyal and brave soldiers, the rewards of our country will not be less." ”

The rest of the people also expressed their positions.

"As for the soldiers who survived, they were promoted according to their military merits and distributed directly to them according to the reward system of the coalition forces. General Qiu, the soldiers were brought by you from the Western Regions to fight, you are more familiar with them, you are responsible for verifying the military merits of the living and the dead, and the bereavement and rewards must be fair and just. ”

"The last general commands!" Chushili stepped forward and bowed.

"Your talent and ability are not bad, what you lack is large-scale actual combat experience, after this battle, you have also accumulated a lot of experience, I named you the commander of the Eighth Army, Xiang Shanzhi as the deputy commander, and continue to train the coalition army in Mingyue County! General Su, you can go to the court and listen to it! Yang Tong looked at the two and smiled.

"Thank you, Holy Lord!" When Su Dingfang and Qiu Shili heard this, a flash of excitement flashed on their faces.

Qiu Shili was promoted from deputy to regular. Although Su Dingfang did not have any reward, he knew that Yang Tong transferred him to the court, in fact, for the big war in the coming year, as long as there was a chance to fight, he was not afraid of no merit.

"Tuyuhun has gone through this battle, and he has already broken his muscles and bones. But Murong Fuyun is a person who likes to bet on the operation of the country, and the first attack on the Silk Road ended in being destroyed by Emperor Wu of our dynasty, but within a few years, he relapsed! I don't know when he will attack Shangdao again, besides, in addition to Tuyuhun, there are many large tribes of the Western Turks who have not been integrated into the Silk Road Consortium, and these people are very likely to become the second Murong Fuyun, and it is very necessary for the coalition to inherit the existence! As for these meritorious soldiers, I plan to keep them at the Great Sui Martial Arts Academy for a year or two to learn the advanced art of war in the Great Sui, so I need to replenish 30,000 soldiers in the coming year. ”

"The value of the coalition has been reflected, and I deeply agree with the decision of the Sage Khan in Khotan, and I am willing to advance and retreat with the Great Sui." If it weren't for the coalition army, Khotan would not be able to withstand Tuyuhun's attack at all, and if Murong Fuyun made trouble again, it would still be Khotan that would suffer first, and the king of Khotan would raise his hands in favor of the existence of the coalition army.

Others did not object. After all, in this incident, all countries have benefited, and if the coalition forces are dismantled, no country will be able to face Tuyuhun and Western Turks independently. If there is no coalition army, why should the Great Sui support them against foreign enemies? Whether it is the Western Turks or Tuyuhun, they are all Pixiu who only enter but do not leave, and all that is given to the Western Regions is endless coercion and oppression. What is like the Great Sui, a great country that is mutually beneficial and equal? Therefore, it is good for everyone to have the Great Sui in charge of affairs in the Western Regions, at least the strength of various countries can be twisted into a force.

In the face of the powerful Great Sui Dynasty, they had no intention of fighting, and they behaved quite obediently and well-behaved. For Yang Tong's military ideas and designs, he is not obedient. As for the plan of meritorious soldiers to 'further study' in the Great Sui, they are even more in favor of it, they think that the people of their own country can learn the art of war of the Great Sui, it is simply a great joy, and when they return to China in the future, they can also form a strong army!

Yang Tong smiled slightly! These people who have undergone advanced studies must still be the same people as before, but after a few years of brainwashing, I am afraid that a soul will be replaced, and when the time comes, most of these international students who have high hopes from various countries are the backbone of the armies of various countries, and it is still okay to carry out some military coups if they have nothing to do.
