Chapter Eighty-Four: Hunting on Behalf of the Heavens

The army is gathered, and the day of the southward march is imminent.

On the third day of the arrival of the four major armies in Beijing, arrangements were already made as soon as the DPRK and China arrived.

The entire imperial court was ready to go out with unprecedented efficiency, a speed that was absolutely appalling in the eyes of the older generation of officials.

Which expedition did the DPRK and China not first debate for ten and a half days on whether to go on the expedition, and then for another ten and a half days and a half for the commander of the army and the transfer of the troops. When everything is negotiated, it will take another month for military preparations and troop transfers. An expedition does not have a few months before and after, and you don't want to send a large army.

This time, from the decision to send troops to the deployment of troops and the preparation of materials, it was about half a month. After the army gathered in Beijing, it was settled within two days.

King Wu Cheng's rectification of the imperial court is really immediate!

In fact, these are the views of the gentry and common people in Luojing City. In fact, it was the major holy academies that were forced by Zhou Yi's prestige above the court to send this plague god out of Beijing as soon as possible. Although after he left Beijing, the DPRK and the Central Committee still had to act according to the strategy he left behind, but after all, without him in the DPRK, the psychological pressure of the big guy is always much smaller!

Early in the morning, the entire Luojing City South City Dingnan Gate was already a banner exhibition.

According to the arrangement set by Zhou Yi when the commanders of the four army corps came to visit that night, the four army corps went south forty miles first, and only one division of each army was left to gather in Luojing City to participate in the departure ceremony.

The Guards Corps who returned with Zhao Mu had already been waiting for it, and this time Zhou Yi, in the name of King Wucheng of Zhenguo, hung the seal of the marshal of the southern capital, held the sword of Taizu, patrolled the south on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and commanded the major armies in the south of the empire. The Guards Regiment is the marshal of the capital's pro-army, and the garrison of the Chinese army is in the big tent.

The proud soldiers and fierce generals of this group of sub-guards are all old men when they accompanied Zhao Munan's expedition, and they naturally admired Zhou Yi very much. In addition, Zhou Yi's status was very different during this southern expedition, and who dared to disobey the county and local border troops along the way! Therefore, they were full of joy! This is the treatment that the guards should have!

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

While everyone was talking about each other, the earth-shattering snare drum rumbled.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Then the trumpet sounded on the tower.

A group of 500 guards of the Imperial City rode out of the city on tall horses and holding the royal flag.

Then, eight horses with white hair and no trace of variegated color pulled a chariot out of the city gate. His Majesty the Emperor was wearing a bright yellow battle armor, holding a sword in one hand and Zhou Yi, who was also wearing silver-white armor in the other, standing high on the chariot. The eyes of the two scanned the nearly 200,000 troops outside the city, majestic.

The car was followed by a team of Imperial City guards.

The chariot came to the general platform that had already been set up, Zhou Yidang got off the chariot first, and then helped Zhao Mubu to get off the chariot.

Zhao Mu pulled Zhou Yi with one hand and walked straight towards the point general.

"Wang Banban, proclaim!" After the two stood on the stage, Zhao Mu shouted loudly to Wang Banban, who was already preparing to stop in front of the stage.

The latter held the holy decree in his hand, slowly unfolded it, and then recited it aloud: "Commanded by heaven, you will live forever." The emperor's edict said: The southern elves have invaded, Baiyue has fallen, and Vientiane is in danger! At the beginning of my accession to the throne, the people of the empire suffered this great calamity, and my heart was very painful. I wanted to drive the expedition in person, dissuade the ministers, and talk about the disease of this elf's small scabies, and those who are kings should not leave the capital without permission. Therefore, I ordered King Wucheng of Zhenguo and Taifu Zhou Yi to lead the post of marshal of Pingnandu, command the army, destroy the elves, and return peace to the people in the south of the empire! King Wucheng arrived, as if I was there in person! All local officials and commanders of various legions in the south obeyed the orders of King Wucheng, and King Wucheng had the right to arbitrarily decide, and those who violated the order of the civil and military generals in the south should be killed, and the three clans should be wiped out!

This will can be described as murderous, and the necks of the four army commanders were cold when they heard it, and they were glad that they and the others saw the opportunity early, and they went to the Zhou Mansion early to take refuge after listening to the words of the Rong Yuan Dragon Sage. Otherwise, with this holy purpose, wouldn't it be like killing a chicken when Zhou Yi killed himself and others!

"Minister Zhou Yi leads the order!" As soon as Wang Banban finished reading, Zhou Yi stepped forward and bowed down to receive the decree to thank him.

Cheng Peng took the lead, and the Xu brothers and Zheng Zhe had already stepped forward as officers of the Guards Legion and shouted, "The ministers obey the order!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!" Then several people raised their arms and shouted long live, and nearly 200,000 troops behind them stood up and shouted long live.

Zhao Mu enjoyed this cheer comfortably, and in an instant, he was immersed in the memory of when he led the army south with Zhou Yi. Ha, now on the throne, but I didn't expect that it was not as casual as it was at the beginning!

"Brother Zhou!" took a few steps forward, holding Zhou Yi's hand firmly with both hands, Zhao Mu was a little sentimental.

"Your Majesty, everyone has their own responsibilities, since you have ascended the throne and become the emperor, then your duty is not on the battlefield, but to sit firmly in the court and control the whole world!"

"Well, I understand! Brother Zhou, all the affairs of the south will be entrusted to you! The affairs of the Wenwu Academy, you can rest assured, with me, there will be no problems!" Zhao Mu also knew that in this Luojing City, Zhou Yi was most at ease with the Wenwu Academy he founded. Although this academy is small, it is related to the foundation of the Qinling Empire for thousands of years to come!

"Come on, Shuqi!" After saying this, Zhao Mu suddenly shouted to the audience.

"Huh!"

One side is black, and the edge is inlaid with gold thread, and it is erected under the manipulation of several Ouchi guards, and a large Qin character sewn with gold thread on it is flying in the wind. There is also a flag of the same system next to the big Xu, which is inlaid with a big Zhou character, and the two Daxu stand on top of a chariot and slowly drive to the front of the stage.

"Brother Zhou, you told me the story of that Daqin, what a coincidence, there is also the word Qin in the name of the empire, so I asked people to specially make this Daxu as the military flag of our Qinling Empire! And this Daxu is a handsome flag specially customized for you, big brother!" Zhao Mu said with a proud face.

When he first heard Zhou Yi talk about the way to govern the country and lead the army, he was yearning for the Great Qin Army he told about. "King Qin swept Liuhe, looking at He Xiongzai. Swing your sword and hit the clouds, and the princes will come to the west!"

Such lofty ambitions and magnificence made this young emperor yearn for that invincible army from the bottom of his heart! Therefore, as soon as he ascended the throne, he was still black, except for the court clothes handed down by his ancestors, all other robes and robes were black, and even the palace was decorated with black silk. If it weren't for Zhou Yi's dissuasion, I'm afraid that even the bright yellow emperor's court clothes and armor would have been replaced with black.

Seeing these two sides in front of him, Zhou Yi's eyelids jumped, and while his heart was moved, he was also a little helpless.

Then Zhao Mu glanced at several officers of the Guards Legion below, and several of them turned around and left in a knowing way, walking to the camp of the Guards Legion.

"Old Qin, restore my rivers and mountains, blood will not be shed, and I will not swear a truce......!"

More than 100,000 people sang loudly at the same time, and they still sang such a tune, and Zhou Yi instantly felt like tears running.

Zhao Mu held his sword in one hand, turned to look at the army camp, and sang softly in his mouth: "Old Qin, restore my rivers and mountains......"

Looking at him, Zhou Yi was really speechless and complained, this is simply the largest imitation show in history! Zhao Mu is preparing to copy the Great Qin Empire in the original!

"Sending the king a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end!Your Majesty, the minister is leaving!" I feel that if he continues to make such a fuss, I don't know what the result will be. In addition, I don't like the sadness of parting the most, and a good man is determined in all directions, how can he hinder this kind of behavior. Zhou Yi slapped Zhao Mu's hand heavily, then turned around and strode off the stage.

"Eh, King Wucheng, take care!" Zhao Muzheng was immersed in the illusion of the empire's prosperity, but Zhou Yi strode towards the stage, directly interrupting his conjecture. Although I felt some regret in my heart, I couldn't help but stand on the stage, shouting loudly and giving a command.

Zhou Yi waved his hand without looking back, and a guard next to him led the mount.

He turned on his horse, shook the cloak behind him, drew his long sword, and shouted, "Go to battle!"

The singing of the Guards Corps suddenly stopped, the commander gave the order to set off, and several commanders hurriedly reorganized the ranks.

"No!" the four army commanders mounted their horses one after another, directing their respective divisions to turn forward.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The drums of war sounded again, and the army marched in full order towards the south.

The army set off, Zhou Yi rode back to the Chinese army, arched his hand towards Zhao Muyi on the point platform, and then shouted "Drive!" in his mouth, and led the Chinese army to follow the army to the south.

Min Min, Yi Shang, Xuan'er, Zhen Yao, and Luo Qingyan all followed closely behind Zhou Yi in samurai uniforms, and Min Min could understand the scene just now. Isn't what the Guards Legion sang the pre-Qin war song!? Could it be that Brother Zhou said something to His Majesty again! I was puzzled, but this scene made her feel funny in her heart, and she was also infected by the tragic and heroic love in the pre-Qin war song!

Bursts of smoke and dust were raised, flags were like clouds, swords and guns were like rain, and in the rumbling war drums, they drove murderously towards the place where the main forces of the four major army corps were stationed. With the Guards Legion, the five major legions of nearly 600,000 troops could not reach Chuyang City by water. can only go straight to Pingman City by land.

The military heart is available, and Zhou Yi's heart is also full of pride. This southern expedition was the first time he commanded an army of more than one million. All local officials and garrisons in the entire south must obey the dispatch, and they can be described as the real king of the south!

"Old Qin, restore my rivers and mountains, the blood will not be drained, and I will not swear to truce the ......" The battle song sung by Zhao Mu loudly sounded on the stage.

Baiyue County has fallen, the corpses of Manchuan Pass are all over the field, and the 100,000 soldiers of Vientiane County are in a hurry! These soldiers of the Qinling Empire were also extremely sad and indignant at this time, although they had just said that everyone had not heard the war song of the Guards Legion. But the meaning revealed in the song is very close to their psychology, coupled with the fact that the song is simple and easy to catch, and suddenly the army resounded with the singing voice. At first, it was just the Guards Legion and the scattered soldiers of the four major legions, and after a while, the entire Southern Expeditionary Army began to sing.

More than 200,000 troops sang in unison, much louder than the singing of the Guards Corps just now, and it was more shocking, Zhao Mu stood on the point platform and heard this voice, and his heart was even more heroic! The voice in his mouth was also getting louder and louder, and even the eunuch Wang Companion couldn't help but reconcile.

Among the five girls, Yishang and Xuan'er were not from the empire, so they didn't have that feeling, and seeing that Brother Zhou didn't sing, they naturally wouldn't respond. Although Zhen Yao and Luo Qingyan are people in the empire, one is too deep in his heart to be affected, and the other is strictly speaking, he is a remnant of the old Chu, and he can't sing harmony. Only Min Min, a strange woman who was fighting in the small army, felt something in her heart, thinking about the momentum of Daqin back then, and couldn't help but sing along.

Zhou Yi heard the army singing in unison, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, although the national disaster was at hand, these soldiers sang spontaneously because they felt something. But this song always made him feel weird in his heart, a feeling of time and space disorder!

When he heard Min Min sing along again, his heart was crossed, and he simply sang another song softly to himself, the voice was not loud, but it could be heard by the surrounding women.
