On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month of the third year of Dayan Chunhua, this day is destined to be recorded in the history of Dayan. Because the first big military parade in the history of Dayan was held on this day.

But Tiangong is a little unpretty, from the time of the child, the sky has been snowing heavily, goose feather-sized snowflakes in the north wind swirling and falling, the temperature has also plummeted, it is almost to the point of dripping into ice, people can freeze their mouths with a sigh of breath.

The Ministry of Rites has been preparing for this matter for several months, and Cao Ziwen has fully supported this matter at any cost. Naturally, it won't be canceled just because of the weather. Suzaku Street, directly opposite the Imperial Palace, has long been decorated with red and green, and it is a joyful scene in the heavy snow. 10,000 Imperial Forest troops took over the entire Suzaku Street, wearing bright armor and holding the latest weapons, and lined up majestically on both sides of Suzaku Street with five steps and one sentry at ten steps. Responsible for maintaining law and order, and also responsible for protecting the safety of Cao Ziwen in the city.

Behind the Imperial Forest Army, it was crowded with the people of Youzhou, and it was really an empty alley. Dayan has always been bullied by other countries, and the lives of ordinary people are also very difficult. This time, the imperial court finally had this opportunity to raise their eyebrows, and the people of Youzhou were also honored, even if they were frozen on the ground and stomped their feet, they would not miss this grand event. Like the New Year, they found out the bright clothes that they usually don't want to wear, and looked forward to the start of the parade.

In the noise of gongs and drums and firecrackers, Cao Ziwen's guard of honor appeared on the head of the palace surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials. Behind Cao Ziwen were Wen Man, Li Cheng'an and other important ministers, and behind them were envoys from Qi State, Jin State and other countries, and behind the envoys were hundreds of other officials.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Seeing Cao Ziwen appear, tens of thousands of ordinary people knelt down in unison as if they had been rehearsed, and the sound of the mountain resounded in the sky, shaking the city walls trembling slightly.

Looking at the people of Dayan who were crawling on the ground below, listening to the mountain call, Cao Ziwen took a deep breath, he was very intoxicated by this feeling, "Zhongqing is flat!" ”

"Your Majesty has a will, flat!" More than a dozen eunuchs with loud voices shouted in unison.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" All the people shouted in unison, and they all stood up.

Zhao Ping, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, strode forward at this time, he was the host of this military parade and began a long speech. The content is nothing more than how the Great Yan Cao clan responded to the mandate of heaven and saved the people of the world from fire and water. In the eighteen years since the founding of the country, the emperor and Cao Ziwen have worked hard for the country and the people, and finally ruled the country and the people with strong troops. What a demonstration of the martial arts and martial arts of this military parade, and the nonsense of uniforms from all over the world.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you see if my Dayan army is still strong? Are the people rich? Taking advantage of Zhao Bao's nonsense, Cao Ziwenzhi looked at several envoys from various countries behind him proudly, and asked deliberately ostentatiously.

"There are many warriors in the land of Yan Zhao, and today I found out that it really deserves its reputation." Qi Guo Jin Zhenghui smiled slightly and opened his mouth to say. But to say it ambiguously, he only said that Yan Zhao was more warriors, but he didn't say how Dayan's army was.

The Khitan envoy looked arrogant, didn't say a word, looked at the glamorous Imperial Forest Army below, his eyes were full of disdain, in his eyes, the real warrior is not for seeing, and he is a good soldier if he can kill.

Ping Qingsheng's eyes were full of shock, he is from Dongying, when has there been such a scene in a place where there are few people in a small country? He was hit again, although the Central Plains was torn apart, it was still as strong as ever, just one

The weakest big swallow actually has such a grand occasion.

The envoys of the Jin and Chu kingdoms laughed dryly, or complimented them sincerely or falsely.

Seeing the attitude of several envoys, Cao Ziwen snorted coldly in his heart, he knew that these people still looked down on Dayan, but it didn't matter, the military parade would make those people speechless in shock.

Finally, after Zhao Ji finished talking nonsense, the time of a stick of incense had passed, and the next thing was to go to the three animals, sacrifice to the ancestors, and after the complicated procedures were completed, another hour had passed. Next was the victory dance of the Imperial Forest Army, which tossed for almost two hours, and it was endless.

The cavalry formed by 30,000 Cao Ziwen had already been arranged, and these newly trained Dayan cavalry were brightly armoured, trying their best to control the war horses and prevent them from running away from the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers. Behind the cavalry was the 500 parade troops of the 500 Imperial Forest Army, followed by the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the four towns guarding the outer city of Youzhou were all there.

The 500 inspection troops of the 1st Army in Zhenbei, where Qin Wang's party was, were arranged at the rear, three miles away from the imperial city, Cao Ziwen and the civil and military officials could not see them, but the common people of Youzhou could see it clearly, they were shocked, they had never seen such an army.

I saw the five hundred Zhenbei army standing there straight and firm, the phalanx was neatly arranged, and it was a line when viewed horizontally and vertically, exactly the same as a tofu block. A brand new black armor was neatly packed, like green pines standing there. Even in the cold wind, shivering from the cold, they didn't even blink their eyes, and if they looked at the hot air that kept spewing from their mouths and noses, these people would think that they were not alive. The murderous aura that rushed to the sky erupted from the military formation, as if it was more freezing than this cold wind.

"Which army is this, why is it so powerful, I see that it is stronger than the Royal Forest Army." A strong man whispered to his companion that he thought he was not small, but looking at this army, he actually felt that he did not dare to speak.

"I have lived for more than 60 years, and I have seen a lot of troops like marquees, but I have never seen anything like this. Look, look, horizontal and vertical, the same as chopsticks. An old man said excitedly.

"That is, when the Qi State came back then, if we also had such an army, would we be able to fight for ten years? If you can't say it, you would have beaten the Qi people back to your grandmother's house a long time ago. A hawker said.

"His father, he doesn't look good, he can't use it, right?" A woman saw the admiration all around, and a woman pulled her man by the hand and asked in a low voice.

"You know what?" Afraid that his mother-in-law would embarrass him, the man glared at the woman, "Those who are soldiers must have this spirit, stand like a pine and sit like a clock, otherwise what will they do to fight?" ”

Qin Wangsu stood next to the five hundred soldiers, and he heard all these voices in his ears, and he couldn't help but feel complacent in his heart. Gu Zhixin and Yu Zhen didn't work in vain during this time, and they really trained these soldiers well. Although there is still a big gap compared to the elite soldiers in Akagi, it is indeed not easy.

Looking at the previous armies, Qin Wang's brows furrowed slightly. The Zhenxi Army in front of them was better, General Zhang led the troops in a good way, and also accepted Qin Wang's suggestion, and he could barely maintain the formation, although the soldiers were also frozen, but they could still hold on.

But the Imperial Forest Army, the Zhendong Army, and the Zhennan Army, which are further ahead, are even better equipped

After putting on the iron armor, they can't wear cotton clothes, plus they have no training, and they can't stand it after standing in the cold wind for an hour. On such a solemn occasion, almost all the soldiers were stamping their feet and holding their hands, and Qin Forget even saw more than a dozen soldiers squatting on the ground, hugging their shoulders and trembling.

Qin Wang's brows furrowed deeply, how can he parade like this, isn't it a shame? Training soldiers to resist the cold, he had already reported this matter to the imperial court, and the emperor must have given an order to the generals, otherwise the Zhenxi army would not have performed so well. But apparently the other generals didn't adopt it, or they wouldn't have behaved like this.

As soon as the drums sounded, the parade officially began.

Cao Ziwen's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't wait to see what the 30,000 cavalry he had personally assembled looked like. He glanced haughtily to the side, vowing to give the envoys a good look. The envoy of Qi State, Jin Zhenghui, and the Khitan envoy, obviously also saw his eyes, the two just smiled and didn't say anything, they also wanted to see what the suddenly rising Dayan army looked like, and they both gave a vague look to a few generals around them, asking them to pay attention to it and measure what the Great Yan army was in the end.

After a cup of tea, there was no army coming in front of the imperial city.

There was still no movement after a stick of incense, and Cao Ziwen was slightly anxious.

"Your Majesty, your cavalry seems to be late." Seeing that the cavalry hadn't come over after so long, the Khitan envoy chuckled and said bluntly.

Cao Ziwen's face turned dark, and the Khitan envoy was slapping his face naked, but the Khitan State was really strong, and Cao Ziwen really didn't dare to be too tough.

"There is a saying in the Central Plains that a good meal is not afraid of being late, what are you anxious about?" He said with a gloomy face.

After the two pillars of incense, the cavalry who had come over a long time ago still did not move, Cao Ziwen frowned, such a procrastination, it was already a shame, don't have an accident, he gave Chen Liang a look.

Chen Liang took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, and while everyone was not paying attention, he quietly walked down the city.

As soon as he arrived at the front of the cavalry army, Chen Liang almost exploded. Seeing that the cavalry army had already become a mess, they obviously heard the sound of war drums, and knew that it was time to set off to be inspected by the emperor, and they also wanted to move, but they were really powerless. Standing in the wind and snow for two hours, they had already froze to death, and most of them had cold hands and feet, and they were unconscious at all, and they couldn't even climb up the war horses.

"General Zhang Wenbo, General Zhang, what are you doing here? What time has it been, and it's still delaying here! His Majesty was angry. Chen Liang strode up to Zhang Wenbo, the commander of the First Cavalry Army, who was hurriedly commanding his manpower, and said unhappily.

"Gonggong Chen, look at this, the Erlang are all frozen, and there is nothing the last general can do." Zhang Wenbo said with a bitter face.

"We don't care about this, even if we die, we have to ask them to carry out this parade, otherwise, General Zhang, you know the consequences. The envoys of all the countries are watching from above. Chen Liang put down this sentence, no longer paid attention to Zhang Wenbo, and strode towards the back of the first cavalry army, he wanted to see how the other armies were.

After looking at a few more armies, he put down a few cruel words one after another, and Chen Liang was so panicked that he didn't dare to go any further. Today's matter is big, he must quickly report to Cao Ziwen, so that Cao Ziwen can be mentally prepared. Before he reached the Zhenxi Army, he was impatient to go back.
