Chapter 352: Military Parade!
Early the next morning, the Western Regions School Palace.
Stepping out of the temple gate, the kings of all countries were already waiting in the square in front of the palace.
In the middle of April, the Western Regions was already unbearably hot, but the kings of the kingdoms were surprisingly quiet, and no one made a noise except for the sound of flags fluttering in the wind and the sound of ceremonial music.
"Emperor Daqin has arrived!"
As the guards shouted in unison, the kings of all countries said in unison in various saluting postures: "See Emperor Great Qin!" ”
I walked forward slowly, smiling and glancing around: "Excuse me, sit." ”
All the kings sat down in unison.
I looked at King Guizi and smiled, "I haven't seen you before, so please introduce yourself." ”
Under Kaqu's translation, King Nasuke of Guizi stood up and introduced it with a respectful face.
There is a canal to and from the Western Regions and Xianyang, and Najie is well aware of the gap in strength between the countries of the Western Regions and Great Qin, and he is the most subservient to Great Qin among all countries.
After the introduction, I said slowly, "Please be seated." Kaqu worked hard for the friendly exchanges between the Western Regions and Great Qin, thanks to the support of King Qiuzi, and I was very relieved. ”
Kaqu gave me a grateful look and translated my words to Nasuke.
Nasuke bowed slightly, supported his chest with one hand and said, "I hope that Qiuzi and Daqin will always be in harmony." ”
"I hope so." I waved my hand and said, "Please continue." ”
It took nearly an hour for the remaining forty-seven kings to finish their introductions one after another.
I looked at their expressions carefully, most of them were extremely respectful because of Loulan's affairs, and some even showed horror, but the attitude of Dawan and several other green countries was somewhat intriguing.
I didn't make a fuss on the spot, and after everyone was introduced, I got up and stretched out my hand to the bottom of the stairs: "I have prepared a performance for you, it's too high here, I'm afraid I can't see it clearly, everyone, let's go to the bottom of the stairs to watch." ”
The kings got up and went down the stairs together.
The others remained quiet, and several countries in the green mountains gathered together and muttered something quietly, and the tongue man translated it to the effect that they were tossing them back and forth, and the shelves were too big or something.
I smiled and pretended not to hear.
Walking down the steps of the main hall, a parade platform has already been set up outside the palace.
After everyone arrived, Meng He glanced at me, I nodded slightly, and immediately a herald went.
A hundred paces away, the cavalry and infantry led by Wang Jin were already ready to go.
Everyone was still looking around, and suddenly there were three neat shouts in the distance!
"Gale!"
"Gale!"
"Gale!"
After three loud cheers, the Qin army began to march towards the parade platform with neat steps.
Within a quarter of an hour, the infantry marched in orderly steps to the parade platform.
Wang Jin raised the general's sword in his hand and shouted: "Your Majesty ten thousand years!" Great Qin 10,000 years! ”
The musketeers were in a team of thousands, and the first queue of a thousand people shouted: "Your Majesty ten thousand years! Great Qin 10,000 years! ”
The sound of rushing into the sky and the sound of the neat queue advancing footsteps made everyone present moved, and even several countries in the Green Mountains were shocked on the spot, and everyone looked at each other, and the meaning was self-evident: So Qin Army, how can Loulan not die!
Najie was the first to recover from the shock of the Qin army, and wondered: "Emperor Great Qin, I heard that Great Qin's iron weapons are unparalleled in the world, why does your army only use sticks?" ”
I laughed: "King Qiuzi, don't worry, you'll know after the parade is over." ”
Nasuke nodded and continued to watch the queue of Qin Jun.
By the time the cavalry arrived, the kings of the kingdoms were speechless with shock, and it was unheard of that even the cavalry could maintain such a tight formation!
I was very happy to see their expressions, and this is just the first step!
An hour later, the parade finally ended.
I glanced around at the stunned kings of the kingdoms and said with a smile: "I showed you the military appearance of the Qin army just now, and I will answer your doubts next." ”
I waved my hand: "Let's go!" ”
Kaqu muttered something to Qiuzi to kill Hu Guan, and Hu Guan immediately went, and in a short time all the condemned prisoners of Qiuzi were gathered a hundred paces away.
Looking at the square field surrounded by the Qin army and the more than 300 death row prisoners holding sharp blades in the field, as well as the twenty Qin soldiers who were only ten steps away from the parade platform, Najie once again wondered: "Emperor Daqin, why did you ask Kaqu to prepare these death row prisoners and distribute weapons to them?" ”
I pointed to the twenty Qin soldiers in the audience, smiled and said to everyone: "I want to make a bet with you, if I win, you promise me three things, if I lose, I will exempt you from paying taxes for three years!" How is it? ”
Immediately the kings were talking.
The arrogant look on King Dawan's face had long since disappeared, and was replaced by worry, and when he heard the words, he asked, "Emperor Daqin, please speak." ”
"I use these twenty Qin troops against three hundred and fifty death row prisoners, but if one of them is injured, even if you win, otherwise, I win!" I looked at King Dawan and smiled, "How?" Do you dare to bet? ”
King Dawan was a little uncertain, and the rest of the people were also frowning.
"Twenty men with sticks against three hundred and fifty men with sharp blades? It's impossible to win! What was the idea of Emperor Daqin? ”
"I think there's a conspiracy, King of the Plough, have you ever seen an army of twenty with one as twenty?"
"I haven't seen it in my life! If it is on the battlefield, you may be able to rely on strategy to win, but such a narrow field, but a hundred steps away, it is impossible! ”
"But Emperor Daqin made it very clear, there should be no traps, right?"
……
Seeing that the kings had long since ignored the conditions after I won and only focused on whether I could win, I smiled and said, "You are all kings, why are you so indecisive, does this need to be considered for a long time?" ”
Then he said helplessly: "Forget it, I will give one more step, as long as there are death row prisoners alive who rush through the distance of a hundred steps and cross the Qin army, you will win!" You're not afraid to gamble, are you? ”
When the kings heard this, their faith was immediately increased!
"It's impossible! Emperor Daqin, this king has gambled! ”
"Hehe, I first thanked Emperor Daqin for exempting the fine from taxes for three years! This king is betting! ”
"This king is also betting!"
……
Seeing that everyone agreed, only Nasuke was still hesitating, I glanced at Kaqu's embarrassed expression and knew that it must have been Kaqu who advised Nasuke to be cautious, he knew me too well and knew that I wouldn't do something I wasn't sure about.
"King Qiuzi, you're the only one left, do you want to bet with me?"
Najie rolled his eyes and said: "Emperor Daqin, my great-great-grandfather almost lost the throne because of his addiction to gambling, so the traditional rules of the Qiuzi royal family are that people from the royal family are never allowed to participate in gambling, please forgive me." ”
I smiled and didn't care about his lame excuse, no more than him, no less than him, and after seeing the results, I couldn't help but gamble or not.
"Very well, then decide! Wang Jin, get ready and start! ”
