In the spring and March of the eighth year of the Great Cause, the Eastern Expeditionary Army finally came to the east bank of Liaoshui, and the Zhulu army was more than 80 miles long before and after, and the horse's hooves brought up smoke and dust to cover the sun. After the soldiers and horses set up camp around Huaiyuan Town, they sent fine cavalry to protect the official road, and dispatched the people to re-level the road surface of the burial with loess, wash off the dust on the tree trunks on both sides of the road with clean water, and wait for everything to be cleaned up. With silver armor on his head and a silk on his chest, he stepped on the rumbling drums of war and walked into the south gate of Huaiyuan Town. (Note 1)

Behind the Son of Heaven's front army, there were nine teams of cavalry guards, each with a hundred people, and they were stupid. Each team of soldiers has a different color of war horses under their crotches, and the nine teams of war horses have different colors. After the nine-color cavalry, there were nine people over seventy years old and children and grandchildren selected by Huaiyuan Siye on the road, and they held brooms made of green bamboo, and while making the shape of sweeping the road, they moved forward, and from time to time they went down to the house to "pull out" the weeds that did not exist at all.

After the road was cleared and the weeds were "pulled", His Majesty the Emperor's imperial meat, which was nine feet wide and more than thirty feet long, slowly came into the eyes of the grain guards in Huaiyuan Town. All they can see is the meat themselves. In order to prevent the assassins from attacking, the left and right armies of the six armies of the Son of Heaven protected both sides of the imperial meat. The Imperial Meat took a step forward under the traction of the white horse, and the bodies of the soldiers of the left and right armies also surged forward.

All civil and military officials followed the royal meat, so that the Son of Heaven could summon him to discuss state affairs at any time. In order to be considerate of the hardships of the officials, His Majesty the Emperor specially allowed officials above the third grade, and the nobles above the village marquis to bring their families with them. Accompanied by the Western Turkic Khan, the King of Gaochang, the Prince of Tuyuhun, and the envoys of the Western Regions and the Nanyang countries, their canes were lined up outside the internal guards, and the rear army of the six armies of the Son of Heaven was served by specially recruited people.

The entrance ceremony was magnificent, and even the Goguryeo "savages" across the river could feel its grandeur. Thanks to the many rehearsals beforehand, the whole process of the ceremony can be described as perfect. The only bit of paper is on the city gate, Huaiyuan Town was built for the army, the city wall and the city gate of the superintendent of the construction of the narrow vision, the construction only took into account the safety of the city defense, did not take into account the majesty of the Son of Heaven. Therefore, the width of the city gate can only be paralleled by four horses, which is not enough for the royal meat to pass through. But this little problem is difficult to be known for his cleverness. As soon as the old man gave the order, thousands of warriors rushed forward, shouldered their hands, and in a moment they demolished the gates and door frames of the outer city and the urn city, and expanded the door hole by more than seven feet.

"The power of heaven is there, and it is devastating! Gao Yuan clown, Keri will die. In order to avoid the displeasure of His Majesty the Emperor because of the delay in the demolition of the city gates, the ministers who prayed and praised him bowed down at the same time. So, in the cheers of everyone, the imperial meat that had stopped for a while walked slowly and walked to the not wide street in Huaiyuan Town. (Note 2)

Fortunately, the buildings in Huaiyuan Town have been cleaned up in advance, and no one's house is not long, and they dare to block the Son of Heaven's Imperial Meat. The Son of Heaven drove smoothly, and after two full hours of demonstration, he moved into the palace that had been built in advance. Baiguan and Waiyi Mountain shouted, resigned, and were led by the palace supervisor to arrange for the management of the palace near the palace. Half an hour later, the eunuchs of the inner palace announced the decree at the gate of the palace, summoning hundreds of civil and military officials and foreign officials to enter the palace to meet and discuss the matter of crossing the Liao.

"With such a big show, it's no wonder they are walking slowly!" Li Xu led his war horse and slowly walked to the newly opened military camp outside the city. The barracks of the guards in the city were taken over by the inner army, including the houses inside and all the grain and grass. But this does not mean that Li Yuanmi's more than 1,200 people can be disbanded and go home, this Eastern Crusade, in addition to the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven and the flag bearers of each army who preached the prestige of the Great Sui, the soldiers who went to Liaodong to fight each carried three stone meters with them. The grain guards are responsible for organizing the people to sort the rice into warehouses in the shortest possible time, so as to prepare for the needs of the army.

There were a lot of people on the road, all of them were officers and soldiers who welcomed the holy car back to the camp. Some people have a peach color on their faces that can only be seen after they are drunk, and there is no need to ask, they must be in a good position to stand and are fortunate enough to witness the face of the sky. Some people had jealous expressions on their faces, obviously seeing those royal guards with silver helmets on their heads and colorful silks, and regretting in their hearts that they were unlucky when they joined the army and were placed in the wrong team. Mixed among the officers and men, there were also brigades of ragged civilians pushing wheelbarrows and leading donkeys to move forward, and they were recruited from all over the country to serve the people, a total of more than 2 million people, twice the size of the army.

"Today, we finally saw the emperor! It's not in vain that I've been in this place where birds don't for more than half a year!" Away from the city, Zhou Wenyuan, the captain of the grain guard who walked beside Li Xu, said with emotion. His official rank is slightly higher than that of everyone, so he is standing closer to the emperor's car, and according to common sense, he has more opportunities to witness Tianyan than others.

"What, what does His Majesty the Emperor look like?" Wang Yuantong, Samurai A and others couldn't resist the temptation, and when they heard the other party boasting like this, they immediately surrounded them.

"This, this, anyway, it is very majestic, and with a slight sweep of the eyes, it makes people's hearts beat in stages!" Zhou Wenyuan hesitated for a long time before coming back with a red face.

"Go, Lao Zhou, you can blow it, and you are not afraid of being flashed by the wind." Wang Yuantong punched Zhou Wenyuan with all his strength and scolded with a big grin.

"This guy is probably nervous and doesn't see anything. If it were me, I would have pulled my chest high, and I would have been swept by the heavy pupils of Long Live I, and I might be promoted to a lower level or sixth level at once!" Qi Poning also came over, teasing with disdain on his face.

His Majesty the Emperor is the pride of the sky, born at the right time, Ze is by all the people, and it is a great blessing to see him at a glance. Even important ministers in high positions, except for civil servants above the fifth grade, they can't see the emperor every day. As for the generals who led the troops to fight, such as the generals of Mai Tiezhu and Xin Shixiong, they looked majestic outside, and they only had the opportunity to participate in a court meeting on three days after returning to the capital. According to the number of times they met with the emperor each month, the officialdom also automatically classified the hundred officials into three counselors, six counselors and nine counselors. As for ordinary martial artists, just like Li Xu and Wang Yuantong, if it weren't for the emperor's personal expedition, he would never have had the opportunity to witness Tianyan at such a close distance in his life. (Note 3)

"Nervous, who is not nervous, at that time, Banzai's eyes swept over from afar, I felt that I was seen by him, and my heart was warm and coaxing, and I felt that the suffering of this half year was worth it!" Zhou Wenyuan ignored everyone's ridicule, and boasted to himself, "Bah, at your height, put it in a whole pit in a pile of people, a bunch of heads, long live and still see you." It's almost the same with Xuzi, at least he's big, and he looks like a soldier!" Qi Poning's mouth was like a chain crossbow, striking people unceremoniously. As soon as Li Xu was mentioned, everyone remembered that he sacrificed his horse to the camp last year. Tang Gong selected thirty horses at that time and said that they were dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor, and now that the emperor has arrived in Huaiyuan Town, the timing of the horses is in the last day or two. If it's just in case.......

"Zhong Jian, if Banzai summons you, you can answer correctly. It is said that when the emperor gets angry, he will cut off people's heads. As soon as I am happy, it is not impossible to seal you as a county marquis or a township marquis!" Samurai: "It's hard to say, Asahiko is young, and she looks good enough." The emperor is said to have brought the princess with him this time, once he is taken a fancy to..."Zhou Wenyuan was fed up with everyone's "bullying", and finally found a soft persimmon that was better than himself to bully, and pinched it to his heart's content.

Li Xu raised his head and returned a harmless smile from everyone. He didn't have a good dream of being summoned by the emperor, appreciating it, and soaring in one fell swoop. With the person of Tang Gong Li Yuan, he will definitely mention his and Liu Hongji's names when offering horses. And the old general of Mai Tiecane, who has an unclear relationship with him, may also be virtuous for the emperor for the country. Usually thinking of the possibility of being summoned by the emperor, Li Xu seems to have a fire burning in his heart. But after seeing the royal meat today, the fire in his heart calmed down.

The tall imperial meat, the mysterious yellow curtain, and the red big A all left an extremely deep impression on his mind. But I don't know why, Li Xu always linked these with those wizards who danced gods in his hometown. I remember when I was a child, there was a great drought in the whole of Shanggu in the spring, and the fathers and elders also held a grand ceremony to worship the heavens on the riverside under the guidance of the wizards. The ceremony used more than 30 sheep, five horses, and thousands of empty alleys, but later, there was still not a drop of rain. If it weren't for the fact that the previous year was a good year, and each family had some food in stock, and the county warden at that time handled it properly, the whole county didn't know how many people would starve to death.

"Zhong Jian, Qi joins the army, Wang joins the army, Captain Zhou, everyone go slowly!" Just as Li Xu was thinking wildly, Liu Hongji hurried over from behind on a fast horse. His eyes swept over everyone, and he reported a shocking and almost crazy news, "Long live tomorrow to personally review the Zuo Wuwei, Zuo A Wei, and Zuo Tunwei who are the first to arrive at the front line, and we have made meritorious contributions to protecting the granary, and tomorrow we will accompany the three guards and horses in the Zuo Wuwei University Yard to accept the review of Your Majesty!"

"Ahh Everyone screamed at the same time, and in an instant, everyone could stuff a whole egg in their mouths.

Carrying the horse leash, he leaned closer to Li Xu's side, and smiled and drove him away. His family is also a merchant and has never been an official, so he is full of longing for officialdom. "It's hard to say, Xuzi is young, and she looks good enough. The emperor is said to have brought the princess with him this time, once he is taken a fancy to..."Zhou Wenyuan was fed up with everyone's "bullying", and finally found a soft persimmon that was better than himself to bully, and pinched it to his heart's content.
