Cao Cao and Liu Ye had a good time drinking and chatting with each other until late at night. Cao Cao knew that Liu Ye would soon return to Liangzhou, and he was reluctant to give up. Therefore, he slept with Liu Ye in the same bed. Liu Ye seldom went to the post house, so it was quite convenient for him to live in Cao Cao's house.
However, it is not Liu Ye's main task to reminisce about the past with Cao Cao. The key is the military parade held by Lingdi in Luoyang.
In November of the fourth year of Zhongping, the west gate of Luoyang, Pingle temple.
On the ground, a nine Zhang high platform has been built, surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Each piece of armor is bright and the swords are shining. Obviously, they know who will simplify themselves today. Therefore, they are very excited and cautious.
Different from yesterday's rich merchant dress, today's He Jin regained his identity as a general. Although he was fat, his face was full of energy.
Dozens of senior generals in the army rushed out and came under the high platform.
"How are you prepared?"
"Report to the general that everything is properly prepared for your Majesty's inspection." Dozens of generals and officers cried out in unison.
He Jin nodded his head in satisfaction and turned back: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. Do you want to start the military parade?"
"Exactly."
The speaker was also dressed in military uniform, and his expression was quite excited. He was no other than emperor Hanling.
General He Jin held a yellow Qilin flag in his hand and waved it vigorously. Huang Qilin fluttered in the air with the wind, as if to jump out with open teeth and claws.
All the troops under the stage saw the general waving the battle flag and immediately started to move.
A soldier with distinctive armor stood in formation and moved forward. Thousands of troops marched forward, and the smoke and dust on the ground were rampant.
The five thousand army moved forward as a whole. The spear was waved in the wind, and the yellow ribbon was tied on it. It was quite beautiful.
"Wings for the country, like the prosperity of the forest!"
Lingdi nodded with satisfaction. Although he got up early this morning, he felt satisfied to see such momentum. When the Yellow turban rebellion broke out and swept across the eight states, the emperor was almost frightened to the ground. However, seeing such an elite army around him, he was not worried immediately.
Five thousand troops stood in place and formed an army formation. On the right, three thousand cavalry came in succession, pounding on the earth like thunder and lightning from the clouds.
Three thousand cavalry galloped on the earth like a huge cone, like an arrow from a string running straight to the high platform. Seeing such a large-scale cavalry charge, the Emperor Ling was surrounded by guards and could not help turning pale.
Seeing that the huge cone was about to hit the platform head-on, the general commanding the cavalry pointed eastward with the whip in his hand. The 3000 cavalry troops immediately ran toward the East with their fingers on their arms. Then they circled around the high platform, and long live the mountain.
"Hooray! hooray! Long live
Hearing the roar of long live like thunder, although the emperor was frightened by the initial charge, he could not help but smile and greet thousands of cavalry. Seeing the emperor of the Han Dynasty waving to them in person, the voice of long live was even greater and almost surrounded the emperor.
These three thousand knights were the cavalry of three rivers, that is, Hedong, Hexi and Hanoi. At that time, Huangfu song, Zhu Ju and Lu Zhi led the troops to fight against the Yellow scarves, and the three river Knights also made great contributions.
After the three rivers Knight mountain hooves long live, slowly controls the horse speed to stop, the formation stops next to the feathered army.
At this time, a yellow Qilin flag was flying in the distance, and ten thousand troops were seen everywhere. A general in the middle was old and strong. Huang Fu Song, who was promoted to be a general of chariots and horses, was standing tall.
"When you get out of the car, the banners are strong."
"The emperor ordered me to fight in all directions!"
These ten thousand troops were the northern army stationed in the outskirts of Luoyang, that is, the so-called central army. Basically, they were elite soldiers who accompanied Huangfu song in the battle of yellow turban. They had rich experience in various battles and had firm will.
The ten thousand northern army, like a wall of iron, was advancing slowly. The formation between the large armies was close, almost shoulder to shoulder, and a stream of evil spirit was coming. If the newly recruited soldiers met with such fierce soldiers, they would be defeated without fighting.
"Long live, big man!"
Huangfusong took the lead in shouting, and the soldiers under his command fought bravely and roared in unison.
"Long live, big man!"
"Long live, son of heaven!"
Numb by the deafening roar, the Lingdi smiles and waves to the ten thousand northern army, and then more than ten thousand northern troops stand in line. The three huge military formations stood on the high platform, which made the emperor feel incomparably safe.
"Ai Qing, what is the military prestige of our Han Dynasty?" Lingdi turned to gaixun road behind him. Gaixun was a Veteran General of Liangzhou. After the outbreak of Han Sui's rebellion, he did not go out of the city to fight. Instead, he resolutely stayed in the city, which made Han Sui very hard to bear. When Liu Ye solved Han Sui thoroughly, gaixun was called to Luoyang by the Lingdi to participate in the military parade.
Gaixun, who was more than 50 years old and had a rather tough face, frowned and said coldly: "the trouble of the imperial court is not in Luoyang, but in the border fortress. Wuhuan, Xianbei, qianghu, colluded with States and counties to invade the territory of the Han Dynasty. Did your majesty forget the disaster of sandalwood?"Lingdi heard gaixun's words and laughed awkwardly.
The general He Jin frowned: "how can old general Gai treat your majesty so disrespectfully?"
"General! All right... "
Lingdi waved his hand to show that he didn't care. Although he was a faint monarch, he was not a tyrant. At that time, tanshikai of Xianbei unified the three departments of Xianbei with great momentum. He sent Xia Yu and other three men to lead 30000 cavalry to the battle. However, he did not say anything, but continued to watch the military parade.
At this time, more than a thousand cavalry roared out like a feather arrow, galloping on the ground, setting off countless smoke and dust. The first general, Liu Ye, looked at himself as the leader.
Seeing Liu Ye coming, Lingdi smiles and says to gaixun, "Gai old general, Liangzhou iron horse under Liu Zishi's command, will be able to calm down the disaster of Qiang and Hu."
Gaixun saw that the emperor was still very polite to himself, and sighed: "the old minister is impolite."
"It's all right. Let's see Yes The emperor was stunned.
"Shoot!" Liu Ye shouts. More than a thousand Knights under his command immediately take up their long bows, bump on the horse's back, and suddenly release the bowstring that points to the sky, and more than 1000 arrows and plumes fly out immediately.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
More than a thousand arrows fell on the ground. Although it was not as powerful as more than 10000 northern troops, it surprised many generals.
"Riding and shooting is a unique skill of Qiang and Hu. I can't imagine that the iron cavalry under Liu's command is also proficient in this way."
