Chapter 102: Chengdu Military Parade (2)

Chengdu military parade

December 28 of the first year of Zhang Wu; The inns and palaces in various parts of Chengdu have been declared full, but they still can't accommodate the crowd rushing to Chengdu at this moment; The larger families of the city began to buy and sell for visitors who had not yet settled in the city.

The school field outside the city was unusually quiet, and there was not a single person in the school field of 22,000 people practicing at this time; Zhuge Qiao stayed quietly in the tent, thinking about what he had seen and heard in the morning this morning.

One hundred and forty-six counties under the jurisdiction of the 22 counties of Yizhou, Jianping County, Yidu County, Wuling County and the public security of Jingzhou all sent a team of no less than ten people to participate in the Chengdu military parade, Dongwu also sent Kan Ze to Chengdu to watch the ceremony, the Qiang people in the southwest of Yizhou also sent their own team, the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu also responded to the call, and only the southern Wuge State did not respond to the call of Shu Han.

The Southern Barbarian King Meng was surprised to participate in the military parade, which was also expected by Zhuge Qiao before, after all, the current Shu Han has not suffered a defeat except for Guan Yu who lost Jingzhou and suffered a big defeat, and his strength is far above the Southern Barbarians; And Meng Shu is also a smart person, how could he confront Shu Han at this time.

As for the Ugo country, the king of the Ugo country is a vulture bone, with tens of thousands of vine armor soldiers under him, and the vine armor soldiers are invulnerable, and he is even more domineering and ferocious.

Zhuge Qiao did not guess that the vultures would oppose Shu Han, because it was undoubtedly a fantasy for the current Ugo Kingdom; There was only one incident that made Zhuge Qiao tangled, Huang Yueying had already created the Ten Lost Repeaters, and now they were being built on a large scale, but they didn't know whether they should be added to the parade array.

If it joins, it will undoubtedly make Shu Han a little more deterrent to Nanban and even Cao Wei, but it will also expose the Ten Lost Consecutive Crossbow to the eyes of all the spies in the world, which will make others a little more guarded、、、

The trade-off between the left and right is sad and difficult to open.

"If you can be forbearing, you may be able to surprise and win with surprise!" Just when Zhuge Qiao was extremely entangled, Deng Ai walked into the camp and said softly.

The seemingly light and breezy sentence was deeply rooted in Zhuge Qiao's heart at this moment, and the frowning brows finally stretched out at this moment, "Shizai, solve the confusion in my heart."

"It was the prime minister who called me to inform the captain," Deng Ai said softly.

Zhuge Qiao was stunned, but he didn't expect his cheap dad to pay so much attention to himself, and he even had a plan for whether to parade or not; It seems that even if he is from 1,800 years later, the gap between himself and the top sages of this era is not small.

If the ten lost crossbows do not participate in the parade, the overall structure of the parade will not change; Twenty-two thousand men were already waiting for the next order.

December 30, Chengdu; The sky was as clear as a piece of blue paper, and a few thin white clouds, as if they had been sunburned, floated slowly with the wind. The annual Chinese New Year's Eve festival has landed in this city, but it seems that the people, merchants and even the families of this city are not busy preparing for the festival at home as in previous Chinese New Year's Eves, but leave the house early in the morning with a face full of anticipation, and rush towards the outside of the city with the flow of people.

At this moment, the school field outside the city, the left and right sides were already full of soldiers wearing Shu Han battle armor, holding the halberd in their hands tightly and waiting solemnly; On the far right side of the school field is gathering all the armored soldiers to participate in the parade, in the area directly opposite the city gate, the huge sacrificial platform stands in the center, the thousand-pound sacrificial tripod is also standing here at this moment, and the sacrificial livestock has been prepared early; Just waiting for the arrival of the hour to worship the heavens and ancestors.

Five days before the sacrifice, Zhuge Liang had been sent to the sacrifice center to inspect the livestock prepared for slaughter during the sacrifice. Three days ago, Liu Bei began to fast. Two days before, write the blessings on the blessing board, slaughter the livestock, make the sacrifices, and organize the sacrificial vessels of the Shenku on the day before; The emperor reads the blessing version, goes to the imperial dome to incense, goes to the mound altar to see the gods, goes to the gods' library to see the beans, the gods cook to see the animals, and then returns to the palace to fast. On the eve of the worship day, Taichang Siqing led his subordinates to arrange the tablets, offerings, and offerings of the gods.

The city tower is also full of people, but the people standing on the city tower are the teams sent by various counties to participate in the military parade, or the southern barbarians, Qiang people, and Dongwu envoys who were invited to Chengdu, and there are also families who have climbed the city tower with their own identities, and ordinary people can only stand outside the school field and look directly at the military parade school ground.

The barbarian king Meng Shu, the leaders of the Qiang tribe, the envoys of Eastern Wu, the civil and military officials of the Shu Han Dynasty, and the chiefs of other small barbarian countries in the south were all surrounding the city gate at this moment, looking into the city, waiting for Liu Bei's arrival.

If you stand at the top of the tower at this moment, you may find that this section of the city wall in Chengdu seems to have been completely swallowed up by the crowd, and the thickness of the city wall seems to be negligible at this moment; The crowd gathered outside the school yard had completely exceeded Zhuge Qiao's previous predictions, and the simple grandstand of nearly 50,000 people built was completely unable to meet the needs at this time, as if it was not even half of it.

In fact, it is not that Zhuge Qiao did not take into account the large number of people in Chengdu, but he did not expect that today is not only the day when ordinary people gather, but also the servants in the family family have also been given the opportunity to be free on Chinese New Year's Eve. Although Liu Bei killed the so-called quicksand before, which made the servants in Yizhou angry, it had nothing to do with it at the moment.

In this school field with nearly more than 100,000 spectators, the soldiers are waiting solemnly, and spies from all sides are constantly gathering; They were all waiting for the final hour to come, and it was at this moment that the shadow of the sundial finally fell on the hour.

With a sharp "Your Majesty has arrived",

Opened by dozens of royal forest soldiers, the yellow emperor's imperial chariot began to appear in front of the civil and military officials at the city gate; At this moment, the royal chariot was driven by six horses, and the body was inlaid with gold, silver, jade, precious stones, and pearls; The body is also engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, showing the royal noble and luxurious style, which also made Meng Shu and others stunned immediately.

The royal chariot came slowly, and when they were about to approach the officials waiting at the gate of the city, the officials immediately dispersed on both sides and knelt down; "Your Majesty is greeted."

Liu Bei sat in the car in full costume, without any intention of stopping the car to help the ministers, and the royal car continued to move forward; The officials followed at the back of the chariot and approached the altar.
