The significance of the parade is to make the emperor understand that he is the real commander of these armies.

Everyone here is fighting in the direction of his will.

Therefore, the point will be the responsibility of not pretending to be someone else's hand.

Li Zhi knocked down the banners of Qinglong, Suzaku, Zihu, and Xuanwu on behalf of the southeast and northwest one by one, and the Quartet immediately followed the drum beat by Li Zhi's order, marched, arranged, or interspersed, or pretended to confront.

This is a military exercise of a performance nature, but it fully shows the significance of Li Zhi as the supreme commander of the Tang Army.

Li Ji stood at the front wearing an old armor, and beside him was Cheng Yanjin, and the armor on his body was not new.

Behind the two of them, there were Su Dingfang, Zheng Rentai and the veterans, although they all had fluttering white beards, but they set off this round formation a little solemnly.

The beautiful palace maid like the fox spirit knelt in front of Li Zhi with the golden cup, Li Zhi picked up a golden pot and poured wine syrup into the golden cup, and the bewitching palace maids held the golden cup in front of Li Ji in turn, and the veterans grabbed the golden cup and drank it all.

"Drink to those who believe in me!

"Those who don't believe in me toss a cup!"

"The golden pot in the emperor's hand is a yin and yang pot, which contains fine wine, and also contains a mechanism on the handle of the poisonous wine pot......

During the Gaozu period, there were many generals who died under this wine pot, Liu Wenjing was worried that pretending to be silent would harm him, so he asked Emperor Gaozu to give him a cup of poisonous wine.

In the end, he was punished by Gaozu for rebellion and died in the court.

and all the former Eighteen-Way Anti-Kings who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and more than half of them died under this wine jug.

Including martial arts, even surpassing the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, the Sheng Yanshi of Yiguo Gong Qin Qiong.

Every time there is a military parade, one or two will be poisoned, but I don't know who will be poisoned today. ”

Hearing Pei Xingjian talk about this kind of secret past, Yun Chu, who thought that drinking in the golden cup was an honor, immediately felt a frost in his heart.

Perhaps, this process of giving wine is just to warn and warn people like Yun Chu who don't take the Tang Emperor seriously, and now, it really works.

After knowing the origin of this golden pot and golden cup, Yun Chu felt that he might not be able to be like Li Ji and Cheng Bingjin in the future, and they generally picked up the wine glass and poured the wine into their stomachs without hesitation.

Yun Chu really wanted to see someone fall to the ground and die immediately, so that he could have a little experience, in case he was going to be poisoned in the future, what kind of posture would he use to fall to the ground to have some face.

It's a pity that a large group of people stood in the cold wind for a cup of tea, and among the generals who were eligible to receive wine from the emperor, none of them fell, and then scratched their hearts and lungs and shouted.

There was no one, which made Yun Chu and Pei Xingjian very, very disappointed, Pei Xingjian saw that Yun Chu was looking at him, so he hurriedly explained: "This thing hasn't been used for a long time, at least Taizong has not appeared in the Dynasty." ”

Yun Chu nodded, indicating that he accepted this explanation, after all, with the pride of Emperor Taizong, he really disdained to use this method against his ministers, if he really didn't like anyone, he would just pull a knife out and hack him to death.

Now, Li Zhi has used it, but he does not poison people Liwei, Yun Chu thinks that this is a very clever political method.

On the one hand, he told the generals here that he could have followed the method of Gaozu to deal with the generals, but because he believed the generals, he only gave wine and did not kill anyone.

On the other hand, it is also to tell the generals here that if they don't know gratitude, next time, there will not necessarily be only good wine in the jug, but no poisonous wine.

In short, it was Li Zhi himself who admitted that he was not as relieved as Emperor Taizong of his generals, and after drinking a round of wine with Dadu, the golden cup was rewarded to the generals, and the beautiful palace maids who looked like fox spirits with wine glasses were also rewarded to the generals along with the wine glasses.

For example, Li Ji was assigned the most beautiful palace maid, and the beauty behind Cheng Yanjin also looked very good, and the beauty behind Liang Jianfang was physically strong and laughed like a fat fox.

Yun Chu and Pei Xingjian glanced at each other and said, "It's a pity." ”

Yun Chu asked: "Wait a while, if I succeed in capturing the flag, will there be a beautiful woman to reward me?" ”

Sadly shook his head and said: "Beauties all belong to veterans, and young, young generals can't get beauties."

Yun Chu said regretfully: "Tyrannical things." ”

Pei Xingjian said with a smile: "The beauty is rewarded to the veterans, hoping that the gentle township they are addicted to will die soon." Do we reward you and me in the hope that we will not have enough children in our families?

Seeing that Lao Liang had already begun to knead the fat fox's buttocks, Yun Chu nodded, and when the sad and frugal words were carried out to this extent, the originally extremely solemn atmosphere in the scene disappeared, and Li Zhi himself hugged two beauties like fox spirits, and began to laugh with the veterans.

And a table of wine banquet was also placed on the high platform, and the emperor and the veterans entered the table one after another, and began to watch the second and third sons play in front of the army in the company of beauties.

The second and third sons play in front of the army, this is an old saying, in the past when the Spring and Autumn Period fought, people were very polite, before the war, first of all, a few fierce generals would be sent to fight each other, and the kings of both sides watched on both sides.

This is called the second and third sons playing in front of the army.

At that time, if the fierce general on your side chased and killed too fast, and the king of the other side did not run fast enough, and was overtaken, the fierce general brother would salute the king and ask if he could be captured alive now.

The king said no, the fierce brother had to wait in the same place, and when the king ran away, he continued to chase, and after catching up again, he asked again, and the king said no, and the fierce brother had to wait a little longer to let the king run again.

After catching up with him for the third time, ask again, if the king still doesn't agree, the fierce general brother can ignore the difference in identity and treat the king roughly.

However, once he is caught up by the fierce brother for the third time, the virtuous king will usually commit suicide, and the unrighteous king will surrender and wait for his own people to redeem him after the war, with the city, or silk, and food.

In the process, the captured king was treated with the same courtesy as a guest.

Therefore, this second and third son plays in front of the army, which is a sentence that sounds very ridiculous now, but it was strictly enforced in the Spring and Autumn Period, if the fierce general brother chased too quickly and the king fell off the chariot and was injured, the king of his family would not hesitate to cut off the head of his fierce general.

That's the ceremony!

The eunuch shouted at the top of his voice to the whole army: "The king has an order, so let the second and third sons play in front of the army." ”

Before the voice fell, a black fool rushed out of the ranks of the guards on a black horse, holding a horse plastic and shouting: "Who dares to fight with a certain family!"

Yun Chu asked Pei Xingjian: "Who is this idiot?" ”

Pei Xingjian looked at it for a while and said: "Guo Zhizhao of Xiaowei, the second son of Guo Xiaoke, this person can also be regarded as a person who is both civil and military, and he has the rank of captain in the army, and he was also admitted to the Hongwen Pavilion from Taixue.

The disadvantage is that he is short-tempered, although the first rush out can make him impressed, if there is no outstanding performance, I am afraid it can only be a bad impression, and the first to play, it is very unwise.

Yun Chu sighed and said: "I saw the blood of his father and brother left there at the gate of Qiuzi City back then, and judging from this person's current performance, his father and brother confessed to death. ”

Just when Yun Chu and Pei Xingjian were squatting on the warm brick kiln drinking hot soup and whispering, a person also rushed out from the emperor's personal guards, and the two took a closer look, it turned out to be Xue Rengui.

"A certain family has come to fight you." Xue Rengui rode a tall white horse and rushed to the bottom of the high platform.

This guy's words were shouted at Guo Zhizhao, but his eyes were looking in the direction of Yun Chu and Pei Xingjian. Baidu search 7, 4, literature, learning, network.

Yun Chu put down the soup bowl and said to Pei Xingjian: "The two of us have no intention of ending, what is he watching us do?"

Pretending to be frugal and quiet: "The second and third sons called by the eunuch just now include the two of us. ”

"You're saying the two of us are going to play too?"

"Yes, the higher the ranking, the higher the team, the first when it comes to leading the team. Of course, if the main general is unwilling to fight, it is okay to send a deputy general, who is your deputy general? ”

Yun Chu glanced at Zhang Jia, who was standing on another brick kiln with people and horses, and said, "It's Zhang Jia!" ”

Pei Xingjian laughed, patted Yun Chu on the shoulder and went to his team, at this time, his deputy general Wang Fangyi had already sorted out the military formation, where there were a forest of spears.

The battle under the platform has begun, or it has ended, Xue Rengui used a huge mace and a stick to smash Guo Beizhao's horse and fly out five or six zhang away, and when the two horses were in the wrong mirror, he grabbed the long hair on Guo Beizhao's horse's neck, and with the help of his own war horse strength and the heavy characteristics of his body, he tore Guo Beizhao's war horse over, and then jumped off the war horse, grabbed Guo Beizhao's armor silk edge, and grabbed him out from under the body of the fallen war horse.

After Guo Beizhao, who was dancing with his hands, turned around in a small area, he threw him on the injured war horse, although he couldn't kill Guo Beizhao, it is estimated that Guo Beizhao's ambition was broken.

Xue Rengui's strength, arrogance, and practical combat skills were praised even by the veterans sitting on the high platform.

Xue Rengui was Li Zhi's bodyguard, so after Xue Rengui defeated Guo Zhizhao in a crushing style, Li Zhi smiled very proudly.

He also said to Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin, who were sitting on either side of him: "Two Aiqing, how about this warrior under Zhenmo?" ”

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "I have surpassed the prime of life." ”

Li Ji said with a smile: "This is just the beginning, after beating Yunchu, it is not too late for Pei Xingjian to boast." ”

Li Zhi remembered the scene he saw on Suzaku Street a while ago, nodded and said, "What Ying Gong said is very true, I just don't know if there are still heroes in this army who can make my eyes shine." ”
