It can be seen that Zhang Chao attaches great importance to the relocation of the capital and is cautious.

The decision to move the capital was made, and the official road from Jinyang City to Luoyang City began to become lively, and a large number of people and things could be seen walking in it every day, and fortunately, this was considered when the road was built before, so although it was busy, there was no chaotic scene.

After Zhang Chao's decree to move the capital was issued, he began to recruit new soldiers and conduct training.

As the territory grows larger, there are naturally more and more armies that need to be used to defend the country. Although the army is too large, the expenditure of the state will also increase, but there is no way. In the era of backward communications, if you want to defend the country and prevent others from spying on you, it is necessary to have a strong army.

Zhang Chao didn't think about what regiments were being added, after all, the number of troops in the Celestial Empire was quite a lot now, so the purpose of recruiting troops was to consolidate the strength of the original legion. For example, the first legion, the sixth legion, etc., were only left with one number, and many of the original 10,000 men were now less than 1,000 people left, and they urgently needed to be replenished, otherwise once something unknowable happened, it would become dangerous.

The relocation of the country's capital, the recruitment of new soldiers, and the provision of food, grass and armaments to support the ongoing war in the north were all things that the Celestial Empire had to do.

For these three major events, Zhang Chao completely put the power in the hands of Guo Jia and Lu Su. As the existence of the first-class members of the DPRK and China, they were originally used by Zhang Chao.

It's just that because there are too many things involved, Zhang Chao can't even if he wants to completely delegate power, and from time to time there are still many things that he needs to come forward to solve in person, so that he doesn't want to spend a lot of time with his wife and children in the palace.

Time passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a year passed, and the time reached August 216, the fourteenth year of the Celestial Empire, and the battle in the north was finally coming to an end. Under the blows of the commander of Zhao Yun and several Celestial Empire legions for nearly two years, the Rus State finally could not support it, and before the defeat of the Great Rus City, the successor king Anatoly was killed in battle.

Anatoly's death indicates that the Rus' kingdom will not be able to centralize power in one person, and many smart people will begin to think about the way back. At this moment, Zhao Yun listened to the advice of the military advisor Fa Zheng, used money to open the way, and bought people's hearts, and for a while, many people moved their hearts to surrender, and the balance of the war was even more tilted.

In fact, when the news came that Commander Zhao Yun was about to defeat the Russ Kingdom, Zhang Chao, as the emperor, was not surprised at all. Only he himself knows what price the Celestial Empire paid after the war against the Rus' state.

Not to mention the number of troops and the army, in terms of grain, grass and military funds, the treasury of the Celestial Empire took out at least fifteen million taels of silver, which is almost three-fifths of the treasury reserves. If it weren't for the fact that he first took the small Wa kingdom and plundered a lot of gold and silver from there, I am afraid that there would be no silver in the treasury.

After investing so much money, if he can't win this battle, then Zhao Yun is not meritorious, but guilty. Fortunately, the war finally ended, and the news came that the silver taels obtained from the treasury of Great Rus' City alone were nearly 12 million, which was also because the Rus Kingdom had been at war for many years, otherwise it would only be more.

Besides, this is just the beginning, and there are still a lot of good things in the warehouses of other nearby cities, and I believe that the previous expenses must not have been made up

If you have a problem, if you get it right, you can make a lot of money.

The war in the north is over, although Zhao Yun will continue to calm the war with some legions, and will expand the results of the war, and capture Ukraine and Kazakhstan and other nearby countries, but these people are not as strong as the Rus' country, plus Ukraine has long turned against the water and defected to the Celestial Empire, then the results of the next wars seem to be doomed, as long as there are no major problems, then the victor will be them.

After the capture of Great Rus City, Tai Shici's Third Army Corps and Xu Huang's Fifth Army Corps withdrew back, so that Zhang Chao could finally set his sights on the land of the Western Regions.

In the past year, the strength of the First Army Corps and the Sixth Army Corps has been replenished. Under Zhang Chao's national policy of emphasizing people-oriented more than ten or twenty years ago, the most important thing for the Celestial Empire now is population. In addition, in these years, the conquest of the Quartet has not only opened up a large area of land, but also plundered a lot of population, on this basis, it is just to recruit hundreds of thousands of new soldiers, which is really not a difficult thing.

A year ago, Zhang Chao was almost blocked in the Western Regions and could not return to the east. Thanks to Guo Jia and the Zhang family's heavy cavalry and the trapped camp to hold the defensive line, they let them kill again. And now, the establishment of the trapped camp has not been fully restored, and now that the war in the north is in the late stage, he should also free up his hands to solve the problem of the Western Regions.

For this reason, when the Third Army Corps and the Fifth Army Corps just returned to Jinyang City, they were directly sent by Zhang Chao to Yumen Pass, and at the same time, the Sixth Army Corps, which had completed the full formation of the First Legion, also went there.

In fact, as early as two months ago, the crown prince Zhang Tian had already made a move against the Western Regions, and the first target of the attack was Wusun Kingdom.

The cause of the incident was still Tang Jin, the lord of Xiaowan Kingdom, who deliberately angered the neighboring country Wusun, and deliberately initiated friction on the border, which finally caused the lord of Wusun to be furious Yuen Long, and sent troops to annihilate all the 3,000 soldiers and horses sent by Xiaowan State to provoke.

On the grounds of this incident, the lord of Tang Jin asked the prince of the Celestial Empire for help, and asked the Celestial Empire to help him uphold justice in the name of being bullied.

Zhang Tian, who had long been ready for battle, was waiting for this moment, and immediately ordered the vanguard commander Lu Bu to lead his troops, and at that moment the 500,000 troops entered the territory of Xiaowan Kingdom.

Frightened by the sudden arrival of the Celestial Empire's army, Yuen Long, the lord of the Wusun Kingdom, hurriedly sent his ministers to negotiate and was willing to pay the price of 100,000 Wusun horses.

It's just that Lu Bu is interested in all the war horses in Wusun, how can he stop the pace of attack because of these 100,000 horses?

The negotiations were destined to be fruitless, and Lu Bu also led the vanguard army to attack the Wusun Kingdom with the cooperation of Xiaowan Kingdom's soldiers and horses.

Although Wusun Kingdom is also one of the powerful countries in the Western Regions, after the previous war, the total number of soldiers and horses in the country is only more than 200,000, how can it be the opponent of the vanguard legion. In desperation, he had to ask for help from nearby countries.

Yuen Long's request for help attracted the attention of Pei Du, the lord of Dawan Kingdom, and under the cold of his lips and teeth, he sent 150,000 troops to copy the back road of the vanguard army.

The 150,000 army was sent out, but who would have thought that the vanguard army had already prepared, under the planning of the military division Pang Tong, the main force of the vanguard army did not really send troops to the Wusun country at all, and what they were waiting for was the Dawan country to send troops.

When the 150,000 troops of Dawan entered the encirclement, the main force of the vanguard army was exhausted, and a beautiful battle of annihilation was great

There were less than 30,000 people who fled back to Wanguo.

This battle immediately shocked other countries in the Western Regions. Originally, the countries of the Western Regions, who didn't want to see the Celestial Empire become stronger, became much more honest. They don't want to be like Dawanguo, stealing chickens and rice, and rebelling against the army and burying them there.

Under their own thoughts, the army of the Celestial Empire did not have so many constraints when attacking the Wusun Kingdom, and in one month, they captured two-thirds of the territory of the Wusun Kingdom.

This is also equivalent to opening a new chapter in the reconquest of the Western Regions.

The matter of the conquest of the Western Regions was entrusted to the crown prince Zhang Tian, and Zhang Chao focused on moving the capital and parades.

The matter of moving the capital has already begun, and there are not many things that Zhang Chao himself needs to worry about. In contrast, it was the military parade that made him have to bother with his efforts.

The earliest record of the "military parade" can be traced back to the Tushan Alliance many years ago.

It is said in "Huainanzi Yuan Daoxun" that in the past, the leader of the Xia tribe, Kun, built a very high city wall to defend himself, and everyone wanted to leave him, and other tribes were eyeing Xia. Later, Yu became the leader, demolished the city walls, filled the moat, distributed the property to everyone, destroyed the weapons, and taught the people with morality. So everyone did their part, and other tribes were willing to come and join them. Yu invited the princes to meet in Tushan.

It is said that at the assembly, Yu's men held weapons decorated with feathers and sang and danced to music to express a grand welcome to the leaders of the southern tribes. The clan leaders who came to the alliance all brought valuables such as jade and silk to show their submission to Yu.

In the Tushan Alliance, although Yu did not send a single soldier, his display of force was enough to deter the princes, so as to "turn the war into a jade silk". Yu's behavior is actually the prototype of the "military parade".

In the 11th century B.C., King Wu of Zhou held a large-scale "military observation" in Mengjin, and at the same time declared that he would do the right thing for heaven. After that, King Wu led a large army, crossed to Mengjin in the east, and fought a decisive battle with the Shang Dynasty army in Muye, severely defeating the main force of King Yin, and laying the foundation for the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty.

It can be seen from this that at this time, "watching troops" as a military means to inspect troops and deter the people or the enemy has begun to be used consciously and in a planned way. And the so-called "military viewing" is actually what we now call a "military parade". The military parade is a way to show national strength, and it is also a means to deter the psychological pressure of the small one.

Zhang Chao just wanted to use this way to tell and warn those imaginary enemies who were still about to move, how powerful the Celestial Empire is now, and it is best to measure your own strength before thinking about it.

Speaking of which, the military parade of the Celestial Empire is not the first time, it was once held when Zhang Chao first established the Celestial Empire, and the impact of that time was also great, and it also attracted the vigilance and hostility of other forces in China.

Later, because it had been in the midst of a campaign, the Celestial Empire did not have time to hold a military parade. And this time, taking the opportunity of moving the capital and coinciding with the 15th anniversary of the founding of the Celestial Empire, it can be said that it is the right time to conduct a large-scale and wide-ranging military parade.
