March 28th, the third year of Dalong's reign.
Ganzhou!
The sun rises in the east and there are no clouds in the sky.
The 400,000 elite cavalry selected from the 1.2 million elite troops of various health ministries gathered outside Ganzhou City to prepare for the attack.
Ten years ago, Liu Mingzhi commanded 400,000 soldiers and horses to conquer the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions that were invaded by Dalong. After more than two years, he finally included the countries in the Western Regions within Dalong's territory.
Ten years later, the great dragon that dominated the world once again easily gathered 400,000 elites, preparing to conquer the two countries of Tianzhu and Tianzhu, whose crimes were worse than those of border crimes.
Liu Mingzhi didn't know how long it would take for this expedition to be victorious, and neither did the generals of the Western Expedition and the 400,000-strong expeditionary army.
However, the 400,000 elite troops showed no fear or confusion about this expedition, and some only had a passionate fighting spirit.
The soldiers and horses who can stand here are all elite soldiers who survived hundreds of fierce battles in the Three Kingdoms in order to unify the world.
After the unification of the world, they were stationed and idle in various places for two and a half years. It was a misfortune for these soldiers who made a living by fighting.
Now that all the hardships have come to an end, the imperial court has been hard at work for more than two and a half years, and finally it is time to let the hot-blooded men leap on their horses and whip their whips to fight on the battlefield!
Generals will inevitably die in battle, and no one will be buried in the loess.
It was learned that this time they were going to attack two barbarian countries who dared to massacre the people of Dalong who were countless miles farther than the countries in the Western Regions. Although the 400,000 soldiers came from the three camps of Dalong, Jin and Tu.
But after two and a half years of hard work, the camp has long been unified.
I learned that Your Majesty needs these soldiers to avenge the tragic deaths of three thousand people and expand the territory for the imperial court.
Four hundred thousand soldiers were waiting on the battlefield to set off for the flag sacrifice, but Xin'er had already flown to the Silk Road leading to the countries in the Western Regions, rolling thousands of miles of yellow sand.
There was a chilling atmosphere, but only the sneezing of war horses and flags whistling in the spring breeze. Suddenly, rumbles of war drums came from inside and outside Ganzhou City.
The 400,000-strong army immediately calmed down, reined their horses, held their weapons, and looked with evil eyes towards the general platform about two miles outside the west gate of Ganzhou City.
There are flags with the word Shuai on both sides of the Dalong flag, and the Nangong Shuai flag is fluttering in the wind.
Hundreds of figures rode out from the gate of Ganzhou City and galloped towards the general platform.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
"The Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition Army's left wing, Lord Protector, is so arrogant!"
"Generalissimo Yong'an Gong Nangongye has arrived on the right side of the Western Expedition Army!"
The 400,000 soldiers were stunned for a moment by the chorus of hundreds of messengers shouting, "Your Majesty is here?"
Has His Majesty also come to Ganzhou?
However, when the soldiers and horses of the ten square formations of the current army saw them, they dismounted and were arrogant. Nangong Ye and other generals surrounded Young Master Liu who was heading towards the general commanding platform. He immediately knelt down on one knee with excited eyes and began to salute.
"We see your majesty, long live long live!"
One spreads to ten, and ten spreads to a hundred.
Liu Mingzhi's appearance could not be seen clearly from the soldiers and horses of the Chinese army behind him. When the soldiers and horses of the rear army saw the behavior of the brothers in the front army, they immediately took the reins of their horses and knelt down on one knee.
"We see your majesty, long live long live!"
"We see your majesty, long live long live!"
Liu Mingzhi seemed to be imposing, but he smiled and raised his hands to the 400,000 troops in front of the formation.
"All officers and soldiers are exempt from the gift!"
"His Majesty ordered that all officers and men be exempted from courtesy!"
"His Majesty ordered that all officers and men be exempted from courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live long live!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live long live!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live long live!"
All the generals present looked at Liu Mingzhi's back standing in front of the general stage and pointing out the country with complicated and excited eyes.
They were all shocked by the deafening shouts and high morale of the 400,000 soldiers and could not recover for a long time.
I sighed in my heart that after all, he was the Ma Emperor who unified the world, the founding king, and his prestige in the minds of the soldiers was extraordinary.
The people who were most surprised were Wanyan Chizha, Hu Yanyu and others who were the generals of the former Jin and Tu countries.
Among these 400,000 elite troops were half of the troops belonging to the Beifu Ten Guards and the Xinfu Twelve Guards. When did the prestige of the emperor Liu Mingzhi actually affect the armies of the two places.
However, when they glanced at the uniform armor, unified weapons, unified long bows and serial crossbows on the six guards of the new army and the soldiers and horses of the two mansions and the six guards of the Northern Territory of Dalong.
Wanyan Chizha and the others were no longer surprised at all.
How broad-minded do you have to be that you dare to replace the soldiers and horses left over from the previous dynasties of the two countries with the same elite military equipment as your own people without hesitation?
The emperor uses his heart, and the soldiers use their life.
Maybe this sentence was born for Liu Mingzhi.
The reason why Liu Mingzhi appeared in Ganzhou was because he was worried that this tripartite coordinated expedition would cause some accidents due to their former hostile status.
After bargaining with Xia Gongming and repeatedly promising that he would not be sneaky in the future, the commander-in-chief of the army and his troops went to the expedition in person, and Liu Mingzhi analyzed the pros and cons in detail to Xia Gongming, Xia Gongming agreed to release him.
He also threatened that if Liu Mingzhi dared to leave without saying goodbye and march in person, he would receive a letter from the golden eagle on the way as the chief minister of the cabinet died after hitting a pillar for his loyalty to the country.
If left in the hands of some unenlightened emperors, Xia Gongming would have died dozens of times if he dared to threaten the emperor like this.
However, this upright master has assisted several generations of emperors and is an open-minded and wise king.
From the Weihe Dynasty to the Taiping Dynasty of Liu Mingzhi, he was still alive and well, and he held the title of imperial censor, chief minister of the cabinet, a position where one person was subordinate to more than ten thousand people.
He became the well-deserved first person among the evergreen trees in the officialdom of Dalong Chaotang.
Knowing full well what a bad old man Xia Gongming was, Liu Mingzhi's little thoughts at that time disappeared instantly.
He really didn't dare to have sex with Xia Gongming, an old bastard.
If this bad old man really gets mad and kills Qinzheng Palace, let alone the imperial commander himself.
Once the cabinet is without its first assistant, it will be a problem for me to still guard the bookstall and spend my idle days at the fortune-telling stall.
"War horse!"
"Yes, please, Your Majesty!"
Liu Mingzhi turned over and mounted the majestic war horse led by Cheng Kai, whipped his whip and ran towards the army formation.
"Sirs, since I have proclaimed myself emperor and unified the world, time has flown by, and more than two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Isn't it a hard time for you when the weapons are stored in the treasury and the horses are released to Nanshan?
I don't need to guess, I know that you hot-blooded men have already fallen ill. "
It's not that there are no soldiers who can read and write, but there are too few.
Liu Mingzhi wandered among various military formations, and he did not mince words. What he said was quite straightforward.
Sure enough, Liu Mingzhi's passionate words containing inner strength made hundreds of thousands of troops laugh while staring at Liu Mingzhi wandering on horseback.
In order to convey military orders in a timely manner, the soldiers and horses dispatched from Xinfu and Beifu are all elite soldiers and horses who can understand Chinese.
Naturally, he would not look confused because of Liu Mingzhi's words.
"Brothers, I am the Emperor of Ma, and I have committed too many crimes in my life.
I originally thought that after unifying the world, I would be a good emperor who works diligently and loves the people, so that the world can restore its prosperity and even reach a higher level.
I don’t know which level I will go to. At least I can make the soldiers and the people not have to worry about their livelihood, and they can eat meat for one of the three meals.
I am working hard and watching the people's lives getting better and better.
But some people disagree.
Not only did they plunder the goods of our merchants in Dalong, they also brutally slaughtered our brothers and sisters.
What's this? Provocation, naked provocation.
The provocation against me is also a provocation against you, brothers.
They think our dragon has no more passionate men to protect our country!
So, if this person wants to die, he will be blind and arrogant.
He cannot recognize his own abilities clearly, nor can he see the abilities of others clearly.
I didn't ask you to collect their annual contributions. It is God's grace to ensure their safety.
But they just hit me and the brothers' swords.
Since they are seeking death, there is no need for the brothers to be polite.
Tell me, what are the weapons in your hands for? "
"Protect the homeland and expand the territory!"
"Protect the homeland and expand the territory!"
"Protect the homeland and expand the territory!"
"Okay, tell me what our soldiers should be proud of?"
"Fighting on the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather!"
"Fighting on the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather!"
"Fighting on the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather!"
"You're right, soldiers should serve their country and serve their country, and they should return their bodies wrapped in horse leather.
I also worked my way up step by step from a small soldier-in-command, and I was ready to die for my country many years ago.
Generals will inevitably die in battle, and there will be no place where people are buried in the loess.
They both have one head and two shoulders, it’s not certain who will bury whom!
Are you right? "
"Long live! Mighty!"
"Long live! Mighty!"
"Long live! Mighty!"
"Come on, let's get some wine!
Soldiers and brothers, after drinking this bowl of hometown wine, I am waiting for you to win the battle and return home as soon as possible. "
"Long live Long live Long live."
After taking a look at the high-spirited Western Expeditionary Army, Liu Mingzhi galloped towards the general platform.
Zhang Kuang and others looked wildly, smiled lightly and touched the wrists of Wanyan Chizha and the others.
"You see, you were not unjustly defeated back then!"
Wanyan Chiezha, Hu Yanyu and the others looked at each other and nodded with a wry smile.
"In just a moment, the morale of the 400,000-strong army can be aroused to its peak. The defeat is indeed unjust."
"If the dragon flag hadn't been mixed with the wolf flags of our twelve tribes, I would have thought they were soldiers and horses from your inner palace!"
From the rising sun in the east to the three poles above the sun.
With the assistance of the soldiers from Ganzhou, Suzhou, and Yunzhou, 400,000 elite men carried a bowl of wine and looked towards the general station.
Liu Mingzhi raised the large Haikou bowl in his hand and scanned it for a week at the soldiers of the three armies in front of the formation.
"Here's to the expedition soldiers, be brave!"
"Your Majesty pays tribute to the expedition soldiers, they are mighty!"
"We respect your Majesty! Long live, long live, long live!"
Just like ten years ago, the soldiers of the three armies finished their drinks and put the porcelain bowls in the saddles on their horses.
He stared feverishly at Liu Mingzhi who was standing on the general stage.
Liu Mingzhi wiped the drink from the corner of his mouth, took the flag in Zhang Kuang's hand and waved it a few times.
"Three animals were sacrificed to the flag, and the drums were beaten to go into battle."
In and around the quiet Ganzhou, when the first war drum sounded, on the city wall, the war drums sounded one after another in front of the three army formations.
One wave overshadowed the other, causing all the people who came out of the city to watch to express their excitement and whisper in agreement.
After the three rounds of drums fell, Liu Mingzhi lowered his command flag, drew out his heavenly sword and pointed it towards the west.
"Send the order, the army marches out to conquer the bandits in the west!"
"Your Majesty has an order! The army marches out to conquer the bandits in the west!"
"Your Majesty has an order! The army marches out to conquer the bandits in the west!"
"Your Majesty has an order! The army marches out to conquer the bandits in the west!"
The 28th day of March in the third year of Dalong's reign of peace.
Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye took command and commanded an elite army of 400,000. They left the border and galloped to the west to fight against the thieves.
Looking at the smoke and dust billowing all over the Silk Road, covering the sky and the sun.
Liu Mingzhi bowed and saluted.
"Everyone, I am waiting for your victory and triumph!"
