The huge carriage slowly drove out of the palace gate, and immediately a whimpering horn was heard from the palace.

Of course, it was not a charge of battle, but a song of sacrifice to the heavens.

Immediately afterwards, the guards who came out added a bit of sonorous color to this pleasant sound.

A crowd of soldiers shouted in front: "King, out!" Sacrifice, heaven and earth! ”

Immediately afterwards, with the sound of clattering horses' hooves, countless bamboo tubes were instantly thrown into the braziers that had been prepared on both sides of the road, and the sound of firecrackers resounded in front of the palace gate!

The war horses carrying Zhao Kuo had obviously gone through countless trainings, and even if the sound of countless firecrackers came from them, they still did not have the slightest panic.

Obviously, Zhao Wei and the others, who were in charge of the guards, also thought of many ways.

Stepping on the sound of firecrackers, the group has come to the outside of the palace, and Li Mu has been waiting here with a large army for a long time.

Seeing the carriage coming, Li Mu immediately raised the order flag in his hand. Immediately afterward, outside the royal city, hundreds of drums standing side by side became restless.

"Knock ......"

"Knock...... Knock ......"

From the palace to the city gate tower, it is like an order, slow and fast, from small to large, it seems to have the breath of overwhelming mountains and seas, and there is more courage to shake the sky and the earth, and the end is deafening and deaf.

Zhao Kuo, who was sitting on the chariot, quietly admired the resonance of drums and firecrackers in front of him through the heavy curtains, as if returning to the Chinese New Year when he was a child.

It's just that Zhao Kuo knows that he can't go back!

The carriage continued to move forward in the sound of drums and firecrackers, and soon arrived at the downtown area of Handan, because of the sacrifice to the sky, Handan City of course lifted the curfew, although it has reached the time of the child, the downtown is still full of people coming and going, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is ten thousand empty alleys.

According to Pingyuanjun's plan, in order to ensure Zhao Kuo's safety, it is obvious that the street will be cleaned. But Zhao Kuo naturally didn't allow it. Also because Zhao Kuo was not allowed to clean the street, the palace guards had to open the way in front of the carriage before it arrived.

Fortunately, the people of Handan are naturally very sensible, and when they listened to the drums, they had consciously given way to the center of the road. People were eagerly waiting for Zhao Kuo's arrival.

As the drums got closer and louder, the crowd in Handan City became more and more excited.

In the entire Handan City, hundreds of thousands of people, none of them kept the New Year quietly in their homes as usual.

The news of "sacrificing heaven and earth", although no one deliberately spread it, has already spread throughout the land of Zhao.

It is said that it is the people in Handan City, and even Shangdang and Daijun, which are hundreds of miles away, have many people with their wives and children to Handan City. In order to be able to participate in the ceremony of "sacrificing heaven and earth" of their king Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuozhi's prestige among the subjects of Zhao State can be seen.

Finally, the sound of horses' hooves accompanied by the appearance of a giant carriage pushed the lively crowd to a climax!

"Ten thousand years of the king!"

"I'm King Wannian!"

"Great Zhao Wannian!"

The people who poured into the streets shouted their visions to their heart's content! The high cheers even gradually suppressed the accompanying drum music.

Zhao Kuo, who was sitting in the carriage, immediately stood up, and even ordered Zhao Wei to remove the complicated curtains.

Only then did he wave his hand lightly, greeting his subjects.

What is this, this is the support of the people, and it is the support of thousands of golds and thousands of gold!

Rao is face is as steady as an old dog, but his trembling hands still can't hide the passion in his heart.

Those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times have won the world, and those who have the hearts of the people, I am Da Zhao, I am Huaxia, since I have been ten thousand years, and I will be brilliant for ten thousand years!!

With the shouts of the people, even Zhao Ping, who was driving the carriage, felt a different atmosphere.

I can't help but feel more upright when I drive!

And Pingyuanjun and the others, who followed behind the carriage, looked at this scene of shoulder to shoulder, and they were also quite emotional in their hearts, that is, this king! Even when King Zhao Wuling was there, he had never seen this scene of thousands of empty alleys!

With the cheers of the crowd, the carriage continued to move forward, Zhao Kuo and his party passed through the city, a distance that was not long or short, but walked for nearly half an hour, and near the city gate, the crowd was still not dispersed, and more and more people rushed to the city gate from all directions, wanting to catch the last chance......

However, from the palace to the city gate, although the distance is not too close, it is not too far.

In the bursts of shouts of "King Wannian", Zhao Kuo and his party finally slowly drove into the city gate cave.

In an instant, Handan City was already behind Zhao Kuo. The carnival in the city was still going on, but in front of Zhao Kuo, many people were gone, and the 3,000 army that had been waiting for a long time began to take over to open the way for Zhao Kuo.

For the sake of safety, the roads outside the city have long been cleared by the army. There is no way, the wild is not as good as the city, and there is too much uncertainty in the dark. If the people are allowed to come, I am afraid that tens of thousands of troops will have to maintain order.

Even having fun with the people needs to have a limit.

As the 3,000 cavalry took over the marching columns, the originally lively scene suddenly dissipated a lot.

The three thousand iron armor are all elite troops selected from various armies, and one person is tall and big, so it is natural to firmly protect Zhao Kuo and the accompanying hundred officials in the center.

On the outside of the queue, there are teams of two, one holding a blade and the other holding a torch, to prevent all possible accidents.

It was also this flame that directly spread the excitement of Handan City to the high platform of the sacrifice of heaven and earth!

Even though the marching queue has been solid to a terrifying point, but Li Mu is especially insufficient, in that unknown darkness, Zhou Qi and Sun Gu each have more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and they can reach the large army at any time in the kung fu of Chacha for reinforcements.

In other words, for this festival, Li Mu mobilized more than 30,000 elite soldiers and horses to garrison Handan.

At the same time, in Shangdang County, Zaidai County, and even the newly attached Wuyang and other places, all the Zhao troops had entered the first-level combat readiness state three days ago.

Anyone dared to destroy this ceremony, Li Mu had to let him know why the flowers were so red.

It can be said that for this festival, Zhao Guo has done his best from top to bottom. And such a mobilization is hardly inferior to a large-scale campaign mobilization.

Being able to ensure the safety of all aspects in such a complicated transfer, Li Mu, as the person in charge of security, is obviously a great contribution.

Because of this, Li Mu was completely recognized by almost all the generals of Zhao State. Especially Lian Po and Tian Dan, who have been checking and filling in the gaps by Li Mu's side, praised Li Mu even more.

Everyone knew that the next general was already on the march of the sacrifice and quietly came out.

Soon, under the escort of the army, after more than half an hour of trekking, the three thousand army finally escorted Zhao Kuo and the hundred officials to the towering altar!

It's an altar, but it's a bit rudimentary. To put it simply, it is a mound, which is not very tall in the northeast of Handan.

There is no reason to choose this place, there is a certain height, which can save materials, and it is not close to Handan City, so it will not make everyone tired.

Although this mound is not as majestic as Mount Tai, it is enough in Zhao Kuo's heart.

At least for the current Zhao State, it is enough. As for Mount Tai's sealing of Zen, that was after that.

Of course, if you want to sacrifice heaven and earth, you can't just be a pile of soil. Under Yu Qing's supervision, it only took three days to tamp the mound, and then on top of the rammed mound, a high platform was piled up with loess, and a copper tripod, several cases, drips and other things were placed on the high platform.

Well, that's all there is to the altar of the Zhao Kingdom.

Obviously, Yu Qing also tried his best to fulfill Zhao Kuo's requirements of hard work and simplicity.

Finally, the 3,000 army stopped under the altar, and then Li Mu's command flag waved, and thousands of soldiers lined up one after another, surrounded the altar, and then lit all the bonfires. 33

Don't say it, under the blazing fire, this simple mound of earth is indescribably mighty and domineering.

After the soldiers surrounded the altar, Li Mu turned over and dismounted, rushed to the front of Pingyuan Jun, and said, "The altar has been prepared. ”

Immediately, Pingyuan Jun nodded calmly, only then took two steps forward, and said to Zhao Kuo in the carriage: "Please take the stage." ”

After that, all the ministers, under the leadership of Pingyuan Jun, fought to the end.

Then, Zhao Kuo got down from the carriage, glanced at the altar that was still a little towering, and said calmly: "Zhuqing, please get up and go to the altar with the widow." ”

"Yes." The ministers responded one after another.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo held the long sword in his left hand, and his right hand was slightly behind his back, and he strode towards the altar not far away.

At the same time, Ping Yuanjun was on the right and General Lian Po was on the left, and each led a hundred civil and military officials to follow closely behind Zhao Kuo and slowly walked to the high platform.

Soon, the rammed mound had been completed, and the remaining high platform was naturally not for everyone to go up.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo led Ping Yuanjun, Lian Po and Yu Qing to climb the stairs.

Needless to say, Pingyuan Jun and Lian Po were the chiefs of Zhao Guo's civil and military affairs, so they naturally had to take the stage with Zhao Kuo.

As for Yu Qing, he was the host of the ceremony, so he was also fortunate to follow Zhao Kuo to wait on the stage.

It's just that this mere honor has already envied many Zhao Chen.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Zhao Kuo waited slowly to climb the steps, not slowly, Zhao Kuo knew that as he climbed the high platform step by step, history was completely rewritten at this moment.

What Zhao Kuo has to do is to stabilize!

Steadily ascend the high platform, steadily complete the sacrifice to the sky, and steadily renovate the Zhao State......

Less leaning, the four of them have reached the top of the altar.

On the high platform, the gift of the three sacrifices had already been placed on the case, and Yu Qing on the side also slowly walked in front of Tong Ding, turned around, and faced Zhao Kuo and the others.

For a while, on the high platform, there was silence, and there was a cool breeze, only the copper kettle was dripping, and the time was calculated for the sacrifice.

Some people died, but not completely......
