Chapter 460 Qiuzi, the emperor's Hongmen banquet

Under the whole world, only I am China!

This was originally a sentence that the emperor had said to Tian Kexin in private, but for some reason, it quickly spread in the army, and almost became the slogan of the Chinese generals to train and march. []

So much so that Zhang Xuan went to the military camp to inspect the army one morning before he set off to Qiuci to accept the worship of the Western Regions Hu, and he just appeared in front of the waiting soldiers in the array, waved his hand, and the camp erupted in earth-shaking cheers and shouts: Under the whole world, only I am China!

Under the whole world, only I am China!

Long live my emperor, long live!

Later, a certain kind of benign interaction and convention was formed. As long as he is in the army, the soldiers shout "Long live my emperor", the emperor will reply with "Long live China", and then there will be a wave of passion like a mountain.

On the first day of the sixth month of the third year of Yongning, Zhang Xuan led 50,000 Shence troops under the standard of Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun, marched east from Broken Leaf City, and arrived at Qiuzi nine days later. Guo Ziyi led 200,000 Chinese troops and 30,000 Hui cavalry to the south of Shule, rested in Shule, and prepared to cross the Green Ridge to the west and recover the land of Zhaowu Jiu from the hands of the Great Cannibals.

Qiuzi is one of the few great powers in the Western Regions, the royal city of Ilulu, and because this city is also the location of the Anxi Protectorate, it is a large city second to none in the Western Regions, and it is also the commercial center and military hub of Anxi.

"Your Majesty, this city is dozens of miles around, its city is threefold, the palace is magnificent, and it is like a god's residence, and the outer city is almost comparable to the city wall of Xijing Chang'an......" Nan Jiyun rode on a horse and pointed to the city of Yilulu not far away, and sighed.

Lei Wanchun next to him pursed his lips disdainfully, and said softly, "Don't talk nonsense ♀, how can a small city in the Western Regions be compared to Xijing Chang'an." Don't talk about Chang'an, even if it is Lingzhou City, it is much bigger than this city. ”

"This kind of projectile land where birds don't, wherever my army goes, will be in ruins!" Lei Wanchun waved the horsewhip proudly, and at the same time flicked a crisp whip.

Nan Jiyun frowned and glanced at Lei Wanchun, and said in a deep voice, "Presumptuous!" Old Ray. How dare you speak out in front of Your Majesty! ”

The two have a very strong relationship, but because of their different personalities, when they are together, they have to quarrel a lot. Nan Jiyun thought Lei Wanchun was too rude, and Lei Wanchun complained that Nan Jiyun was pretending. In this way, along the way, listening to the two bickering has also become a great pleasure for Emperor Zhang Xuan.

Seeing that the two of them were in the mood for a war of words again, Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "Okay." Don't fight any more verbal battles. ”

"Nanba, have you ever notified Feng Chong?"

Nan Jiyun hurriedly and respectfully whispered, "Your Majesty, the last general has already sent someone to send someone to pass Lord Feng. We are in a hurry, I'm afraid Lord Feng didn't expect it - Your Majesty, look, isn't that Lord Feng bringing people out of the city to greet Your Majesty? ”

Nan Ji Yunyang pointed to the gate of Yilu City, and everyone stared at it, as long as Feng Chong was the head of the No, he was a cadre of officials and generals of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and after that, he was the lord of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions who had rushed to Yilu City in advance to worship the Chinese emperor.

Feng Chong really didn't expect the emperor's army to come so quickly, which was also a manifestation of his underestimation of the ability of the Shence army to march. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor was in the army, Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun would have led these 50,000 divine troops to attack Qiuzi from Broken Leaf City, and it would take 5 days at most.

Feng Chong led everyone to hurry to the front. He bowed loudly, "The minister Feng Chong, the head of the Anxi Protectorate, and the kings of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, welcome Your Majesty's late arrival, and ask Your Majesty for forgiveness!" ”

Zhang Xuan turned over and dismounted, his clear eyes fell on the group of kings of small countries in the Western Regions who were kneeling on the ground through Feng Chong's shoulders, and said lightly, "I am in a hurry, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

"Nanba, you take 5,000 troops into the city with me. Lei Wanchun, you lead a large army to garrison the west of the city, and wait for my orders at any time. ”

Nan Jiyun bowed down to receive the order, and Lei Wanchun did not dare to slack off, so he agreed with it.

Knowing that the emperor brought 50,000 military horses over, although Feng Chong knelt on the ground, he was secretly sighing in his heart, and the emperor seemed to really want to take thunderous measures against these little kings.

"Feng Chong, flat body, head in front of the way."

Zhang Xuan walked in the front and entered the city first. Although the emperor was in time and Feng Chong was not well prepared, in a hurry, he still ordered the Anxi army to impose martial law in the whole city, and all the merchants and people in the city were closed, so as not to disturb the emperor.

Although it is in the city of Qiuci Wang, the emperor's safety is still in charge of Nanjiyun's Shence army. The national army of Qiuci is less than 10,000, and the 5,000 troops of Nanjiyun can almost destroy Qiuci.

Zhang Xuan, under the leadership of Feng Chong and Helu, the king of Qiuci, went straight to the palace of Qiuci.

Inside and outside the huge palace, the defense was immediately taken over by the Shence Army, and it was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

……

……

Emperor Zhang Xuan hosted a banquet in the palace of Helu to entertain the kings of the 36 Western Regions. In fact, the kings were quite uneasy in their hearts, and they did not know what the Chinese emperor wanted to summon them here.

But the Chinese courtiers knew in their hearts that this was a Hongmen banquet set up by the emperor. Regardless of whether the lords of the Western Regions are willing or not, after today, their national titles will not be kept. In other words, from tomorrow, the state of small states in the Western Regions will be completely broken and assigned to the imperial court.

Feng Chong has never announced the emperor's order, according to Zhang Xuan's will, this order will be announced by him on the spot at today's banquet, in front of the emperor.

In the evening, many kings of small countries in the Western Regions began to enter the main hall of the Helu Palace, and under the leadership of the Anxi army, they entered their seats. It is said that there are thirty-six countries, but in fact there are only twenty-seven countries, because none of the kings of the nine countries surnamed Zhaowu have arrived.

And among these more than 20 countries, there are also some small countries and small tribes to which Beiting belongs.

When they entered the main hall, they did not turn their heads to each other, but sat there silently, thinking about their own thoughts.

The atmosphere was somewhat wrong, and some sensitive kings already felt that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty has arrived—"

At the entrance of the hall, a heavy voice was heard.

At this time, Zhang Xuan took off his armor, put on a formal dragon robe crown, turned his hands behind his back, and strode in.

And behind him, Feng Chong, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun and others were either dressed in official robes, or armor, or followed with solemn or murderous faces, and when the emperor sat on the throne, they were divided into two shifts, and took the lords of the Western Regions to bow down, "See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live!" ”

"Wait for you!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

Feng Chong sat down with a group of Wenchen, but Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun stood on the emperor's left and right, holding swords with awe-inspiring expressions.

"Come, please drink this cup!" Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently and raised his glass to drink.

"Your Majesty, please drink!" He Lu and the others hurriedly raised their glasses, and then drank them all.

"Your Majesty, the little dynasty worships the Son of Heaven, and specially presents a hundred beautiful singers and two cars of beautiful jade...... Please smile at your majesty! He Lu was the first to step forward, present the list to the emperor, and began to worship.

Just when someone was about to follow He Lu and come forward to offer treasures, he heard the emperor smile slightly and said, "Ceremony, I won't accept it∞ I will summon you to come to Qiuzi King City, I should have given you some gifts, but I came in a hurry, and I didn't have time to prepare, so let's wait for compensation in the future - Nanba, write it down for me, and in the coming day, in Zhongjing, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households will discuss and reward the kings of the Western Regions." ”

He Lu was stunned for a moment, and then his heart suddenly burst out, and he heard some very unusual flavors from the emperor's words.

He hurriedly looked up at the emperor, but saw the emperor raise his hand to Feng Chong, Feng Chong sighed in his heart and slowly got up, walked to the middle of the field, and said loudly, "Your Majesty has Zhao-"

“…… For the long-term peace and stability of the Western Regions, for the people of the Western Regions to live and work in peace and contentment, and for the prosperity of the Western Regions for a hundred years, I decided to remove the names of the countries in the Western Regions, endanger the kings and princes, and turn the Western Regions into 36 states, divided into two towns and two provinces, Beiting and Anxi, which are under the unified jurisdiction of the imperial court. ”

For Han Chen, Feng Chong's words are nothing, but for the kings of the Western Regions, it is no less than a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

Well, the Chinese emperor actually wants to destroy their country?!

It's a misfortune!

He Lu and the others' faces suddenly turned extremely pale, and their whole bodies trembled.

"Your Majesty, please forgive Xiao Wang for not accepting it. I have been a country for hundreds of years and have been passed down for more than ten generations...... And Xiao Wang asked himself that he has always been loyal to the court and obeyed Wang Hua, His Majesty wants to destroy my turtle for no reason, Xiao Wang categorically can't accept it! ”

He Luyi said solemnly.

As soon as Helu's voice fell, the other kings began to retort and express their anger, and the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became chaotic.

Bang! Zhang Xuan slapped the table and stood up with his sleeves.

"I don't want to destroy your kingdom and take away your power, but I want to set up prefectures and counties in the Western Regions and govern them as one." Zhang Xuan said angrily, "The intention of destroying Tibet, Pingtu Qishi and Qarluq is this∞ here you can promise that you will not take a penny of your respective royal wealth, the court will not take a penny, and your throne will be hereditary - but from now on, all the lands in the Western Regions will be subject to the unified governance of the imperial court." ”

"I have made up my mind, and there will never be the slightest change∞ ugly words are said in front, if anyone dares to disobey my orders, my army will come, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!"

Zhang Xuan finished speaking coldly and sat down slowly.

"I can give you time to think about it. Seal the charge, timer! From now on, within an hour, whoever is willing to obey the orders of me and the imperial court, I canonized it on the spot and gave the manor land in the Central Plains, and even a mansion in Zhongjing. Of course, it doesn't matter who doesn't want to, I won't stop you, you can leave and return to China on your own. However, when you leave the city of Qiuzi King, you will no longer be my vassal, but my enemy country∞ and you will send troops to destroy it, just like the Turquoise Cavalry. ”

Heru gasped.

The emperor said such a conclusive word, obviously he had already moved his determination to destroy the countries of the Western Regions. It's a pity that these small countries in the Western Regions, with the largest number of troops such as Qiuzi, are less than 10,000, and even thousands of people, how can they withstand the iron hooves of hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops?
