Under the desperate defense of Xiao Yangdao, the general of Pingquan Pass, and Li Kaigu, the general of Youzhou, the 200,000 Han Navy was blocked under Pingquan Pass and could not advance an inch.
Just when Pingquan Pass was in danger, Yue Fei led the main force of the four guards to arrive, how could Hanhai Kingdom be the opponent of the main army of the four guards, and as soon as the battle began, half of the soldiers and horses were lost.
At this time, the news of the defeat of the Liao State came, and the Hanhai Khan was bound to be shocked and led the army to retreat, and was killed by Yue Fei on the bank of the Duoyan River, and once again broke the enemy army, and was bound to flee with only more than 10,000 remnants, and the danger of Pingquan Pass was also solved.
When the news came, the whole god was boiling! No, it should be the whole world boiling!

Yue Fei, the first battle severely damaged the 200,000 army of Hanhai, causing the lord of Hanhai to flee in a hurry, throwing away his armor!
In the south, Tan Daoji led the main force of the right dragon Wuwei to Yangzhou, and as soon as the imperial army arrived at Jiangning City, King Wu tied himself out of the city and surrendered!
One after another, the trillions of people of the Great Zhou were ecstatic, and the dissidents hidden in the secret were shocked.
For a time, the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty can be described as singing and dancing, and the sound of praise is endless, as if it has entered a peaceful and prosperous era.
On the Vermilion Bird Avenue in the Shendu, the sergeants of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, divided into many teams, have begun to clear the road to disperse the crowd, and the leading officials of the military department have also arrived in the urn city of the Triumphal Arch of the Shendu, preparing to lead the imperial court to quell the rebellion to meet His Majesty in the Shenwu Gate.
At this time, both sides of Suzaku Avenue were already crowded with onlookers, and the buildings and shops along the street were also full of people, people were either standing at the door, or opening the windows to peek out.
As soon as the hour arrived, in the city of the Arc de Triomphe, the sound of snare drums and horns sounded one after another, followed by bursts of loud and earth-shattering slogans.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
In the loud shouting, the swords and guns were dazzling, the armor was distinct, and the banners were flying, and the left and right leopard guards walked out neatly from the city gate of the triumphal arch with neat steps.
At the forefront are the tens of thousands of heavily armored cavalry belonging to the Xiaoguo Army and the Crane Control Army, and then the main army of the Leopard Taowei on the left and right.
The sound of heavy and neat footsteps and horses' hooves sounded, and for a while, a wave of killing aura suddenly spread in the air, making the hearts of the onlookers throb, and they stood in place in horror and did not dare to move, and for a while the whole street wanted to be imprisoned, except for the sound of neat combat boots, the sound of iron armor and the sound of horses' hooves, there was no other sound.
It took a while for the people to react, and the people of Shendu, who were emotionally exploding, cheered loudly to the counterinsurgency army, venting their joy and love in their hearts.
Seeing that the people of Shendu were so enthusiastic, Xie Xuan, who had always kept a straight face, also showed a slight smile, and Xie Xuan, who was wearing a bright red cloak with a helmet and armor, couldn't help but keep arching his hands to the cheering people on both sides.
The counterinsurgency army did not enter the inner city directly from the triumphal arch in the south along Suzaku Street, but made a detour, went to the Xuanwu Gate in the west of the Shendu and entered the inner city through Xuanwu Street, and then went out of the inner city through the White Tiger Gate in the east through Suzaku Street, and then went around to the Suzaku Gate in the north of the inner city, and went from Suzaku Street to the Shenwu Gate of the Imperial City.
It wasn't until an hour later that the counterinsurgency army arrived outside the imperial city, and then, under the guidance of the prisoners of the Ministry of Rites, they circled outside the imperial city before stopping at the side of the royal road of Suzaku Street in front of the Shenwu Gate.
Under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the counterinsurgency army is divided into dozens of phalanxes in the square in front of the Shenwu Gate and stands solemnly, this clock and drums are loud, the music is loud, under the kneeling of the officials of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites, Ma Jin, the Shenwu Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is dressed in the dragon crown of the Ming and Huang regiments, wears twelve beads and strings of gold crowns, rides the imperial opinion, and arrives at the top of the Shenwu Gate City Tower under the embrace of a group of thousands of Niu guards.
According to the etiquette system, as early as the day before, the internal officials have set up the throne on the Shenwu Gate Tower, at this time outside the Shenwu Gate, the princes and ministers, civil and military officials, solemn and solemn, divided into classes to serve.
Thousands of Qianniuwei soldiers dressed in gilded dragon-headed rhino armor held guns in their right hands and swords in their left hands, carrying bows and crossbows, standing solemnly in front of the battlements.
In front of the Shenwu Gate, nine tall and strong Qianniuwei lieutenants, slammed the whip on the ground in their hands, the music stopped, Ma Jin sat on the throne in his suit, and Wang Chengen and other eunuchs on the side stood quietly with their heads in their hands.
Subsequently, all the civil and military officials, facing the Shenwu Gate, knelt down and bowed four times, and the mountain shouted long live.
At this time, the official of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward, knelt down loudly to the city tower in the middle of the road in front of the Shenwu Gate:
"Your Majesty! Among the rebels, a total of 827 officials above the sixth rank have been brought in, and all of them have been found to be correct, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment! ”
The official said the last words of the Holy Judgment in a heavy and long manner, and as soon as the words fell, the entire counterinsurgency army and a group of officials shouted three more long live.
"Such traitors, ungrateful, poisoning the state and county, and infringing on the people, are really serious crimes, and they will never be forgiven! Among them, the chief disciples Ma Lin, Chen Ting and others immediately escorted the market and Ling Chi was executed, except for Ma Lin, the three clans were killed! The rest of the people who are rebellious and beheaded all over the house to set an example! ”

Li Cunxiao was awarded the title of General of Zuo Bao Taowei and Governor of Bingzhou, and led the main force of Zuo Bao Taowei to the town and state.
……
At the same time, with the prestige of the great victory, he issued a strict order to order the general of the Eight Guards of the Imperial Court stationed abroad to return to Beijing to report on his work. He planned to reorganize the sixteen guards of the imperial court, reduce them to twelve guards, and only retain Yulinwei, Long Wuwei, Long Xiangwei, Leopard Taowei, Yingyangwei, and Wuhou Wei.
According to the previous discussion, the number of each of the 12 guards was increased to 24,000, and there were 24 battalions of commanders under its jurisdiction, and there was one general and three ranks; There are two generals, and there are four ranks; The twelve guards and horses are directly responsible to the emperor and are called the "Imperial Forbidden Army".

Qianniuwei is the "Guardian Forbidden Army", and is still in charge of the patrol and palace prohibition of the Imperial City, with 12,000 guards.
The number of Teng Xiang Wei was attributed to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the battalions of the Imperial Horse Supervisor were organized into the left and right Teng Xiang Guards, with 12,000 soldiers and horses each.

The local guard changed guards once every four years, aiming to strengthen the centralization of power, weaken local influence, and prepare for his future changes.
