After the Zhifu Department withdrew the tribal soldiers from Li Simo's camp, the Sunong Division, the Ashid Division, the Yiqi Division, and the Relic Department also withdrew their respective tribal soldiers from Li Simo's camp, so that Li Simo's battalion was left with only his Ashina tribe soldiers, and they could no longer be called Turkic.

The leaders of these tribes also saw that Li Simo had no future in Datang, and even the surname Zhaowu Jiu abandoned him, could they still suffer from Datang with him?

Moreover, as soon as they withdrew their tribal soldiers and joined Li Chengqian, they were immediately accepted by Li Chengqian, not only did he no longer force them to send troops to the east, but also told them that they had found a large number of gold and silver veins west of the Yellow River, and they wanted them to dig gold and silver mines.

This made the little guilt of the leaders of the various departments for abandoning Li Simo also dissipated, and they only wanted to use Li Chengqian's protection to recuperate, and when they became stronger, of course, they would go south to rob.

--------------

The second dragon raised its head on February and was also the day set by Li Chengqian to hold a celebration party, and the entire Datang military camp was boiling before dawn in the morning.

All the generals and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty knew that Li Chengqian clearly said that it was a celebration meeting, but in fact it was to deter the leaders of various departments here, and the generals attached no less importance to this matter than a major war.

"Woo-woo-woo-"

As a red sun rose from the east, there was a long and desolate sound of painting horns in the camp, and the celebration of this day was officially begun.

At this time, a group of officials and leaders of various departments who had come to participate in the celebration were already waiting at the gate of the camp in full costume to participate in the celebration.

These men were informed in advance that they could bring some of their own family members into the camp, but the soldiers of the various tribes could only line up outside the camp.

Although the Turkic tribes withdrew their soldiers from Li Simo's camp, the Sunong Department, the Ashide Department, the Relic Department and the Suyue Department still let Li Simo stand in the first place, and Zhi Yuqi Hui was only the second-in-command in the tribe, so he naturally did not dare to compete with Li Simo in the position.

Li Simo also knew that his ability was not good and it was difficult to convince the public, so he also thought it out in the past two days, and asked Li Shimin to return to Chang'an to be Li Shimin's guard, and he was still a little grateful to the leaders of the tribes for still inviting him to stand in the first place.

However, as soon as the elders surnamed Zhaowu Jiu, dressed in Tang clothes, came to the camp, they immediately attracted a group of Turkic tribes to look at them angrily.

Even the Tang officials of the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion who came to participate in the celebration felt that these Yi people were wearing Tang costumes awkwardly, and couldn't help frowning.

Seeing that he was disliked by everyone, the elder surnamed Zhaowu had to retreat to the end and stand with the nearby Duodi Art Loss Department, the Humble Loss Department, and the Yu Shooting Department, these three tribes are all small tribes living in Monan, and whoever is strong will obey whom, and in which group is just a group of people standing aside.

But at this time, even they felt that it was good to be wrapped in sheepskin, and the eyes of the elders surnamed Zhaowu Jiu were also very strange.

……

After three times in a row, the door of the camp was slowly opened, and the attendants of the East Palace who came to lead Li Simo and others at the door walked to the south of the camp.

At this time, the tents in the southern part of the Tang army camp had been dismantled, and a huge square was sorted out.

Li Cheng's army of more than 40,000 people, of which 30,000 was divided into ten phalanxes of 3,000 people, lined up horizontally and vertically in the south of the square.

A five-foot-high earthen platform was set up opposite the military array, and hundreds of armor soldiers wearing Mingguang armor held bright steel guns, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry to protect the earthen platform tightly.

On the earthen platform, Xu Jingzong was leading a cadre of scribes to inspect the arranged crown prince's guard of honor, while the tall Liu Renliang stood at the front of the earthen platform and scanned the ten Tang troops in the south with his eyes.

They are making final preparations for this celebration.

As soon as Li Simo and his entourage walked into the square, the leaders of the various tribes saw tens of thousands of Tang troops with their helmets lined up like mountains in the south of the square, and a powerful momentum rushed towards them, making them feel a lot of pressure.

Busy are intimidating, follow the person in front of you and go forward, for fear of making mistakes.

Li Simo and the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion were led to stand on both sides under the earthen platform.

Li Simo and the clan leaders behind him automatically stood on the right, giving up the throne on the left to the officials of the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, and the elders surnamed Zhaowu Jiu and others naturally stood in the last column on the right.

It's just that after everyone is standing, the attendant who is responsible for leading them in the East Palace leads the elder surnamed Zhaowu to the left side and is standing below the officials of the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion.

This made the leaders of the Turkic tribes who thought that they had taken refuge in Li Chengqian and were more useful than the Zhaowu nine surnames, and they couldn't help but look at Li Simo, hoping that he could teach the elders of the Zhaowu nine surnames, after all, the Zhaowu nine surnames turned out to be the slaves of the Ashina department.

It's just that when they looked towards Li Simo, they saw that Li Simo was staring at the military formation of the Tang Dynasty in the south.

As soon as Li Simo walked into the square and saw the ten military formations standing there majestically, he knew that Li Chengqian wanted to use military power to deter these people. sighed in my heart, after this incident, I am afraid that no one in the Hetao will dare to disobey the Tang Dynasty in a few decades.

Li Simo looked further south, but saw three tall trebuchets standing straight behind the military formation, and some soldiers were busy around the trebuchets, not knowing what to mean.

Just when Li Simo was puzzled, he heard the loud footsteps and the sound of the collision of iron armor from ...... distance, and the loud footsteps and the sound of the iron armor came into everyone's ears in unison.

Compared with other soldiers, this team of soldiers is particularly tall and strong, and every time they lift their feet, their thick legs are as straight and strong as pillars.

Every few steps, someone would stop and stand on the side of the road, and the person standing there as straight as the barrel of the gun made people want to cheer.

When everyone saw that the place where this group of soldiers came from was the big tent of the Chinese army, they probably guessed that the road where these soldiers stood guard might be the way Li Chengqian came out later.

Sure enough, these soldiers who were marching were standing guard along the way, and the last one happened to be standing at the easternmost end of the military formation.

When they were all finished, they heard the sound of "all the ......" and a rapid sound of war drums from the way they came.

With the sound of the drums, there was a louder sound of footsteps, and a tall Tang army carrying a large flag, followed by a phalanx of hundreds of soldiers, walked over with a unified step.

Behind the phalanx were two teams of cavalry on white horses, playing a simplified version of the crown prince's honor guard, slowly marching slowly.

When the first pair of cavalry walked to the high platform, Li Chengqian, who was wearing gold armor and hanging a sword at his waist, rode a jujube red horse, and walked slowly under the escort of the four major generals Wei Chigong, Su Dingfang, Wang Fangyi and Cheng Wuting.

The leaders of the tribes looked at Li Chengqian on the horse, almost unrecognizable, only to see that today's Li Chengqian was wearing a military uniform and riding on the horse, his waist was straight, and there was no longer a trace of the breath of a gentleman on his body, and there was only iron and blood and fortitude on his face, and it was really difficult to match the Li Chengqian they had seen before.

Soon Li Chengqian's war horse walked to the front of the first military formation, and the three thousand soldiers marched to Li Chengqian in unison under the leadership of the generals in the front row, shouting "See His Royal Highness the Prince"

Li Chengqian rode on his horse and walked forward slowly, waving to the soldiers and shouting: "The soldiers have worked hard! ”

When Wang Fangyi and Cheng Wuting heard this, they tore their throats and shouted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks the soldiers for their hard work. ”

The army shouted again: "Defend the country and pacify the world." ”

Then Li Chengqian walked to the next military formation

The soldiers saluted

Say hello

Shout slogans

……

More than a dozen military formations continued to repeat the above operations, and for a while, thunderous shouts came one after another, and the leaders and officials of the various departments who came to the celebration party in Tutai were shocked and closed their mouths.

Finally, Li Chengqian walked from the west to the east and rode to the high platform, slowly walked up to the high platform with the support of Liu Kui, and then turned his body and looked at the military formation under the high platform again.

Xu Jingzong, who had been presiding over the celebration party on the high platform, was signaled, stepped forward and shouted: "Twenty-seven salutes!" ”

It symbolizes the 27th year of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

When the captain standing in the corner of the high platform heard this, he immediately raised his flag to the south, and when everyone under the high platform looked at each other head-on, they suddenly found that the catapult standing behind the military formation had moved, and they saw three catapults throw a black object at the same time and fly to the small hill covered with snow in the distance.

Due to the distance, everyone did not see when the explosives bag landed, only to see a burst of fire and black smoke flashing on the mountain, and there was a loud sound of "boom and ......rumbling" in their ears, which shook their ears and buzzed......

The trebuchet did not stop after throwing the first pack of explosives, and only stopped after throwing it twenty-seven times in a row.

The sound of "boom, boom, boom ......" came one after another, and finally even the earth under his feet shook, and the leaders of the various tribes under the high platform were shaken by the sound of explosions like the power of the sky, and when the last three packs of explosives exploded, all the tribal leaders and the civil officials of the Lingzhou capital were lying on the ground and couldn't stand up.

The gunpowder stopped for a long time before they helped each other to stand up and pat the dust on their bodies, and then saw that the small hill in the distance had been razed to the ground, and everyone was shocked and stunned again.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended to the throne, and the ministers saluted." It was at this moment that Liu Kui's sharp voice came from the high platform.

The tribal leaders were stunned when they heard this, and hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed.

"Hmm"

There was a faint "um" sound from the high platform, and the leaders of the various departments who had seen Li Chengqian knew that this was Li Chengqian expressing dissatisfaction, and they couldn't help but look up at the high platform in astonishment.

Li Chengqian saw that these goods were looking at him with sincere fear, and said with a faint anger on his face: "You have taken refuge in Datang, Datang has not only placed you in a place to live but also sealed your official position, why haven't you changed Datang's outfit now?"

Several tribal leaders couldn't help but be terrified when they saw Li Chengqian's anger, and when they were in a dilemma, they heard Liu Kui shouting sharply on the soil platform: "Why don't you go and change into Tang clothes?"

Seeing this, the officials of the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion who were standing next to him understood that Li Chengqian made such a big move to let these people change their clothes.

"Ministers, ministers obey orders." Trembling, Sunonweiler stammered.
