Chapter 386: Entering Dali City
Long Jianfei, who was standing on the side, was slightly stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, the last general has no opinion."
Guo Rui thought a little more, but hurriedly added and said:
"Your Highness, Weichen thinks that the forbidden army, Qianniuwei, and the border army can each send a general to compete in martial arts, cavalry archery, and troop formation."
His intentions are very clear, if it comes to fighting alone, Qianniuwei is definitely the strongest, and Long Jianfei's border guards are the weakest.
However, when it comes to field battles in which troops are arranged, the border guards have all broken through in a bloody storm, especially since they had just started a war with the Western Turks last year, and they were able to win a slight victory.
Long Jianfei listened, and glanced at Guo Rui with a grateful gaze.
Yuan Zhi didn't understand the intention of Guo Rui's words, he nodded and said:
"What Guo Qing said is true, Lone agreed to compete according to this plan, all parties point to the end, regardless of the victory or loss, tonight is not enough, tomorrow in broad daylight continue to compete."
"Understood!"
The generals of the three parties went to discuss and prepare.
Later, a skirmish began.
Everyone is looking forward to it, and it must be exciting.
β¦β¦
When the crown prince Yuanzhi arrived on the outskirts of DalΓ City, it happened to be the day of Ashina Moxi's burial.
He set up camp on the spot according to the predetermined plan he had discussed with the generals before he set out.
He then sent his envoy, Wei Chang, the governor of the Zhan Mansion of the Eastern Palace, into the city and went to Jinshan to attend the funeral of the Great Khan of Moxi.
At the same time, diplomatic envoys were sent to meet with the new Great Khan to discuss the next day's entrance ceremony.
Lin Yuqian is the female official in front of the Great Khan Tent in Dali City, and she is receiving all this.
After repeated discussions, the Dali city party finally agreed to the more stringent plan for entering the city proposed by Yuan Ze.
After all, the Eastern Turks are still vassal states of the Final Jin Dynasty, and not agreeing to the plan of the Final Jin Dynasty to enter the city is tantamount to disobedience.
If you want to rebel, it will be in the future, how dare they now.
Outside the city of Dali are more than 20,000 elite cavalry who have finally been promoted, as if the momentum of soldiers coming to the city.
The next day, early in the morning.
First of all, a whole battalion of about 5,000 men of the forbidden army of the Iron Rod, which had previously marched into the city of Dali and temporarily took over the defense of the eastern gate of the city.
The east gate is the main gate for the prince of the final Jin Dynasty to enter and exit the city.
The tension disappeared all at once, and the city was no longer full of swords, and fireworks were everywhere.
The prince got up to the melodious sound of trumpets in the camp.
After washing and breakfast, he wore his whole body according to the prince's dress and walked out of his Chinese army commander's tent.
Outside the big tent, Mai Tiezhu, Guo Rui, Fan Hu and others led their respective generals, standing neatly outside in military uniforms.
Seeing the crown prince, everyone knelt down in the march together, "His Royal Highness the prince, Holy Ann! β
Yuan Zhi raised his hands slightly, smiled and accepted everyone's greetings, and said:
"Generals excuse me!"
"Without the efforts of the generals, there would be no peace in the Empire, and now, we should go to Dali City for a walk."
Trumpets and drums sounded in unison, and military music was played.
A group of generals surrounded the prince Yuanzhi and rode out of the camp slowly.
Outside the large camp, the whole army was arranged in a neat phalanx according to the establishment, and the prince was welcome to review it.
However, today is not a battle, although the team is like a rainbow, but it lacks that sky-high evil spirit.
A thousand heavily armed Qianniuwei, led by the Yingyang general Fan Hu, followed the prince into the city as the prince's honor guard.
On the left and right of the prince, in addition to Ding Jiu, Jiang Wulang's personal guards, and the general Guo Rui came in person.
The horsemen galloped about a hundred paces from the east gate of the city and stopped.
After a few moments, the closed east gate of the city of Dali suddenly opened.
Led by the successor of the Great Khan, the Turkic Keji, the civil and military officials in Dali City lined up in a neat line with the official order, and walked out endlessly.
At the front, Duji, dressed in the traditional dress of the Turkic Kages, did not ride a horse, but walked forward on foot.
This is the expression of surrender.
The crown prince jumped off the horse and took a few steps forward, Ding Jiu and Jiang Wulang were guarding one left and one right, but their eyes were staring at the people walking in front of them.
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what happens, you have to be careful at this time.
However, the city is controlled by the forbidden army of the Final Jin Dynasty.
The main street leading to the palace was lined with heavily armed Forbidden Army.
They faced the crowd and set up a cordon.
"Minister: Ashina Duji, come to greet His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Duji has no arrogance in the past, and today's posture is very low.
He kept in mind Yuanhuan's advice, and when he saw the prince Yuanzhi, his knees weakened, and he seemed to be about to kneel.
How could Yuan Zhi make the other party really kneel on the ground and make a gesture.
He laughed, took a quick step forward, supported Duji who was pretending with both hands, and said loudly:
"You don't have to be so formal, you will soon be a Turkic Khan, and I hope that all Turkic tribes will live a peaceful life under your rule, free from the disaster of war."
"Listen to the Prince's teachings!"
Duji grinned, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Embarrassing, that's for sure.
"This is the big Luo Ben in front of the royal court... Gorida..."
ββ¦β¦β
Du Ji introduced the hundred officials behind him to the prince one by one.
Yuan Zhi didn't listen to it at all, he nodded symbolically, and accepted the other party's salute one by one.
He knew in his heart that these were nothing more than a courtesy, indicating the relationship between the suzerainty and the vassal.
What he really cares about is whether the other party can continue to abide by Moxi's philosophy of governing the country and security.
His visit this time was to once again emphasize the relationship between the monarch and the courtier.
Looking at those Turkic nobles, all of them were crying and mourning like their dead fathers, and their movements were stiff, Yuan Zhi suddenly understood in his heart.
The rule of nature is that the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle.
The most effective way to do this is to permanently garrison a part of your army in the city of Dali to reorganize and rule effectively.
"Please Your Highness get on the horse, the minister is willing to lead the horse and hold the stirrups for His Highness, and the fathers and elders of the city and countryside are welcoming His Highness into the city!"
Where is Yuan Zhi willing to let Du Ji lead the horse and stirrup for himself at this time, which will further arouse the rebellion of the Turkic nobles.
You can't be fooled by him.
At present, his attitude towards Duji, hundreds of thousands of people in Dali City, especially those Turkic nobles, are all watching with wide eyes.
His own attitude is the proposition of the Ultimate Jin Empire, and it is also the attitude towards the Turks and the different races in the northern frontier of the Western Regions in the future.
I saw Yuan Zhi laugh and said:
"It's a matter of weight, you can do this kind of thing with your own hands, it's unseemly! Come on, lead a horse to Du Ji Ke, and go into the city side by side with Ke Ji! β
"Oh, Your Highness, the minister doesn't dare, he doesn't dare to be!"
Duji never dreamed that Yuan Zhi was not fooled.
But somehow, he was happy in his heart.
I didn't dare to shout, and my hands were still swaying busily.
I still have to put it on it.
Jiang Wulang, the personal guard on the side, had already brought a war horse from the guard.
