For this matter, Zhang Chao issued a holy decree and ordered all legions to send a team of 10,000 people to Luoyang, the new capital, to participate in the grand military parade of the Celestial Empire here, which was also a way to show their demeanor.

For this matter, the other legion commanders naturally attached great importance to it. This is not only because the matter was originally presided over by their emperor Zhang Chao, but also because they also want to show themselves in this way and let the world know about them.

In order to be able to better show themselves, each legion commander conducted a round of extremely careful and strict selection in private, as if he was afraid that the people he selected would be compared to other legions.

In this way, the review becomes a kind of competition between the legions, a kind of existence that is related to face.

The selected soldiers are also extremely proud, because this is not only a qualification for them, just imagine, a few decades later, when they are old and with their children and grandchildren, isn't it one more thing to brag about?

The soldiers in the parade are being selected, and then they are trained intensively, and Zhang Chao does not want to see a group of troops who are just tall and tall, and the formation is indeed chaotic and has no military discipline, which is not in line with the starting point of his military parade.

At the same time, the legions also did not give up their own military affairs, such as the northern battlefield, and still entered the tail sweep. For example, the Western Regions are still in full swing, and the battle led by Tang Jin, the lord of Xiaowan Kingdom, has begun to expand continuously, and after destroying the Wusun Kingdom, Dawan Kingdom has also become precarious, not only that, but more countries in the Western Regions have been forced to participate in the war, and after the territory was threatened, they reluctantly took up arms to fight with the Celestial Empire army.

For this matter, I don't know how many Western Regions lords are cursing the prince of the Celestial Empire, thinking that they "let go" of each other at the beginning, not only that, but under Jiaohe City, they also sent a lot of grain and grass. I thought that this was the end of the matter, but I never thought that the war would come, and it would be more violent than they expected.

It's just that while cursing, they are also helpless, after all, although they sent grain and grass at the beginning, Zhang Tian, the crown prince of the Celestial Empire, did not make any promises. This also became the reason and reason why they could not accuse the Celestial Empire of not keeping its word.

Under the forced war, the lords of the country regretted it a little, they knew that this was the result, and they should not have dissolved the Western Regions Alliance in the first place, so that now everyone has been divided into dozens of small pieces, even if they want to unite again.

There is basically a war in the Western Regions every day, and there are different war reports delivered to Zhang Chao every day.

Of course, most of them are good news, even if there are occasional defeats on some small battlefields, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. It can be said that since the moment the Western Regions Alliance was disbanded under Jiaohe City, they were doomed to fail.

With the passage of time, more and more countries in the Western Regions have been wiped out, such as Daxia, Loulan, Qule, Wensu, Gumo, Kokand after Wusun and Dawan... and other countries in the Western Regions, one after another, were destroyed.

After more than a year of campaigning, after the Celestial Empire sent a steady stream of troops to the front line, the battle situation seemed to have become clear, and the crown prince Zhang Tian was also ordered to return to the national capital and came to the new capital Luoyang to meet his father Zhang Chaoyi

A military parade was held. The Western Regions left the second prince Zhang Xing to preside over the overall situation.

Although he is still young, Zhang Xing has experienced a lot of things, and he has even climbed on the life and death front several times. So much so that his mind became much more mature. After knowing that he could not inherit the throne, he put his hope on being a general, and in his opinion, being able to gallop on the battlefield and kill enemies is not much worse than being an emperor in the palace.

Zhang Xing's change is also what makes Zhang Chao happy. He had feared cannibalism before, but now it seemed that such a thing would not happen. As for not being able to see it while he was alive, that would be enough. As for what will happen to people in the future, whether there will be internal strife due to profit, it is indeed something that he cannot control.

And just when the parade troops of various legions entered Luoyang City one after another, there was another good news that the son of Zhang Tian, the prince of the Celestial Dynasty, was also born.

Zhang Chao became a grandfather, perhaps because of the next generation, he looked at how his eldest grandson looked at it, and happily gave him the name Zhang Zheng on the spot.

Politics refers to the actions in politics and governance, which is a kind of expectation.

The homonym of politics and righteousness also means that this child is upright.

Zhang Chao, who has a grandson, seems to attach more importance to family affection, after Zhang Tian returned from the Western Regions with the crown princess, many things will be handed over to his son, unless it is a big matter, he will not interfere.

With the passage of time, on August 1, 217 A.D., following the fifteenth calendar of the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire finally ushered in the second military parade after a long absence. It was also the largest military parade.

As soon as the morning dawned, Zhang Chao got up very early, changed into a new imperial dress under the service of Queen Cai Yan, and then strode out of the palace.

"Long live the emperor, long live." It's just that as soon as I got out of the Queen's Palace gate, I saw Guo Jia and Lu Su, two first-class adults, coming up.

"Aiqing is flat." Seeing that the two of them appeared here at the same time, and it was so early, his intuition told Zhang Chao that something should have happened, so he cursed and asked, "Say, what is the matter that came to me so early." ”

"Your Majesty." Guo Jia slapped a sycophant on the side, and then got up and replied: "Your Majesty, there are two envoys from outside the palace, they say that they are coming on behalf of Islam and ancient India, and they want to meet the emperor. ”

As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Lu Su on the side immediately cooperated: "The prince of Zhang Xing on the front line sent an urgent military report, saying that Yi Ji, the lord of Kangju in the Western Regions, fled when he was destroyed, and there is reliable news that he crossed the Himalayas and went to the other side to find reinforcements. According to the news from the eye of heaven, there are indeed traces of army gathering on the other side of the mountain. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Su closed his mouth early, he believed that what might happen next would not be hidden from the wise emperor.

Sure enough, when he heard this, Zhang Chao's brows furrowed slightly.

Whether it is Islam or ancient India, Zhang Chao has long known about their existence. The Tianyan Organization has also infiltrated and understood it for a long time, and it is known from various sources that their power is not

is small, and the number of troops is also extremely impressive, and when combined, it is not as good as the former northern power Rus, and it is not too far behind.

If, at this time, these two forces suddenly intervene in the affairs of the Western Regions, it will obviously be an obstacle to the Celestial Empire's unification of the entire Western Regions.

But it was only an obstacle, and after the Celestial Empire unified the north, the grain base was expanded and stabilized. With money and population, Zhang Chao is really not afraid of any country and power now, even if it is Islam and ancient India, it is also difficult to put it in his eyes.

"It's just a clown jumping off the beam, huh! Go meet you. Zhang Chao's nasal voice let out a cold snort, and then strode forward to the main hall.

Hearing Zhang Chao's comment, Guo Jia and Lu Su glanced at each other, and then they both showed a relaxed attitude. The longer they followed Zhang Chao, the more they became infatuated with the emperor, as if there was nothing in the world that could scare their emperor.

Even if Zhang Chao said that he was a clown jumping off the beam, then presumably even if there was a war one day, they didn't have to be afraid and worry about anything.

The team followed behind Zhang Chao and went straight to the main hall, but it was almost in front of the main hall, Zhang Chao, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and said thoughtfully: "Fengxiao, you go and make arrangements, I will see them in the side hall." ”

"Yes." After listening to this, Guo Jia agreed without the slightest hesitation. He already saw what Zhang Chao meant, and when he saw someone in the side hall, he clearly told the other party that what people were doing was not above board, so naturally they didn't need to be in the main hall, and the treatment of a side hall was not low.

In fact, the envoys of the two forces had already come to Luoyang, but they would suddenly ask to see Zhang Chao on the morning of the parade, and the implication was very obvious.

They just want to suddenly appear and force Zhang Chao to make some concession decisions, and it is best to stop the military parade, in that case, it will be a blow to the soldiers of the Celestial Empire army, which is of course a good thing for the two of them.

It's just that they still overestimate their influence, maybe before they take the Rus Kingdom, Zhang Chao will hesitate in the face of the oppression of these two powerful forces. But now, with his wings in his wings, nothing could scare him.

Just a while later, in the side hall, Zhang Chao sat on the top, and on the left and right sides stood Xu Chu, the chief of the guard, and Lu Su, the minister of the first rank of the interior. At the same time, Xiao Xiangzi, the chief eunuch, also held a whisk to the side, and after seeing the emperor nod slightly, Xiao Xiangzi shouted in that special voice, "The envoys of India and Islam are here." ”

When the voice fell, there was the sound of footsteps outside, and then accompanied by Guo Jia, two men who were obviously dressed differently from the Central Plains walked into the side hall.

After Guo Jia entered the palace, he knelt on the ground and shouted Long live the emperor, long live long live, and then there were three knocks and nine bows.

In fact, Guo Jia didn't have to make this big gift at all, especially when he had just separated from Zhang Chaocai, but he still did it, in order to set an example for the envoys of these two countries.

It's just that the result is destined to be useless, because the two envoys just put their hands on their chests, bowed slightly, and said, "I've seen the Emperor of the Heavenly Empire." ”
