After hearing this, Li Zhiyun waved his hand and said: "No, this kind of thing is a piece of cake for me, just open your mouth and do it. Listen, slash the enemy's head with a big sword. Brothers of the Tang Army, the time has come to kill the enemy." It's time to kill the enemy..." He changed the "March of the Broadsword" wildly, and made slashing movements with his sword while singing.
When Scarface saw it, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I just said that you are a god. You can do everything. This song sounds exciting." Cai Hu was also very excited and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will pick out some people who can sing." Dancing soldiers, let’s rehearse this song ‘King of Chu’s Broadsword Song’.” Li Zhiyun shook his head with a smile and said, “I was just joking. It was my second brother’s credit for defeating Liu Wuzhou, so we won’t steal the limelight... …”
Thousands of soldiers attended the victory celebration, and the theme was eating and drinking. There were many tables, chairs and benches borrowed from ordinary people's homes. On the table were large pots of food and jars of water and wine. The soldiers sat around the table, laughing loudly and eating happily.
A large open space was left at the front of the venue as a stage for performances. The second brother came on stage and said a few words briefly, and then the performance officially began.
"The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation" is a song and dance drama with an orchestral ensemble. The performance is huge and involves 120 soldiers in armor and more than 200 musicians. The musical instruments include drums, gongs, flutes, flutes, etc. , mixed with Qiucihu music.
On the stage, the pale sunlight and the bleak autumn wind gave the wilderness a sad and desolate atmosphere. The Tang army and the enemy army faced each other in formation in the wilderness. They could not hear the noise of people or the fighting of spears and spears, only the sound of fighting. To Xiaoxiao Ma Ming, long and long Jingjing. A burst of low and powerful drumbeats broke the silence before the battle. The soldiers clenched their swords and guns, and their horses began to snort and raise their hooves. At this time, gongs and cymbals sounded together, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the war was about to break out.
The suona played a desolate melody along with the flute and flute, and the string music sounded softly against the background of distant clouds and gongs. The audience seemed to see wherever the enemy troops went, the villages were empty, devastated, and "white bones" Exposed in the wild, there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles." The desolate scene. The people who suffered from the war were even more displaced from their homes.
Suddenly, the speed accelerated, and the snare drum and cymbals struck out a beating rhythm, which suddenly brought the audience from the illusory image back to the reality of the confrontation between the two armies.
The wind music started, the big drum joined in, and the band played in unison. Both warring parties began to mobilize their troops, and the atmosphere became tense.
At this time, the rapid sound of horse hooves (wooden fish) was heard, mixed with the neighing of war horses, and the two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat. The band played a melody that started in the second half, painting a fierce war scene for the audience. Horse hooves galloped, gongs and drums sounded, and the battle entered a fierce stage.
The King of Qin personally took the lead and went deep into the enemy's formation. All the soldiers fought bravely and finally defeated the enemy. At this time, the band played in full, playing a broad and majestic melody. Under the leadership of King Qin, the Tang soldiers fought bloody battles and finally won the final victory.
At the end of the music, there is a cheerful gong and drum section to celebrate victory.
Thousands of soldiers who had experienced brutal battles were deeply attracted by this wonderful performance. They stared at the stage intently, concentrating and mesmerized. After the performance, the soldiers burst into thunderous applause and cheers, and the performance was a great success.
After regaining Hedong, it was time for Li Zhiyun and his second brother to return to Chang'an. After the celebration of victory, the second brother appointed Li Zhongwen as the general manager of Bingzhou and left some troops to guard Jinyang. He led the rest of the troops to return in triumph. Li Zhiyun also led the new army and followed his second brother's army back to Chang'an.
After the army left Jinyang City, Li Zhiyun gradually fell to the back of the team on horseback, looking back from time to time. Cai Hu, who was following him, couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, don't count on it, she won't come." Li Zhiyun glanced at him and said nothing, but still gathered the reins of the horse, clamped his legs, and urged the horse forward. At this time, there was a sudden sound of rapid horse hooves behind him. He turned around and saw Fan Shuxiang galloping towards him on horseback. He quickly turned his horse's head to meet him.
Fan Shuxiang rushed forward, reined in his horse, and got down. Li Zhiyun also dismounted and stood next to the horse. Fan Shuxiang ran up to him, breathing heavily, her face red, and staring at him unblinkingly.
Li Zhiyun didn't say anything, just looked at her. The two stared at each other for a long time before Li Zhiyun said, "Will you go to Chang'an with me?"
"Why go to Chang'an? I don't even have a place to live."
"You can live in Prince Chu's Mansion and do whatever you want. There are many interesting places in Chang'an, such as the Bell and Drum Tower, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Weiyang Palace..." He couldn't continue, feeling as if he was kidnapping the girl.
"I'm not going." The girl shook her head and said, "I want to go back to Jiangzhou with my father, and I can't bear to leave him behind."
Although Li Zhiyun was a little disappointed, he still said: "Okay, I can understand." Fan Shuxiang suddenly kissed him on the cheek, turned around and ran to the horse, stepped on the horse, tightened the horse's reins, and said loudly : "In two years, I will go to Chang'an to find you!" After saying that, he turned his horse's head and galloped away.
Li Zhiyun stood there reluctantly, until Fan Shuxiang on horseback turned into a small black dot and disappeared within the gate of Jinyang City, then he remounted his horse and went to catch up with the brigade with Cai Hu.
After a long journey, the army finally returned to Chang'an. When the men and horses approached Chang'an City, Li Zhiyun and his second brother rode at the forefront. From a distance, he saw thousands of people gathered in a dark place under the towering city tower, a sea of people. When they arrived, Li Zhiyun realized that it was officials and people who were welcoming them back in triumph. The tall man at the front of the crowd was the eldest brother. As the prince, the eldest brother led all the civil and military officials to greet them outside the city gate. Many family members of the soldiers were also waiting for their relatives.
When Li Zhiyun saw his second brother dismounting from his horse, he quickly followed suit. Dozens of generals following them also dismounted. Li Zhiyun handed the reins to a soldier and walked forward with his second brother.
The eldest brother came forward with a smile. When they arrived, Li Zhiyun and his second brother knelt down and saluted their eldest brother. The eldest brother pulled them up and said with a smile: "Second brother, fifth brother, there is no need to be polite. In this expedition, we defeated Liu Wuzhou and recovered Jin and Fen. My father, Long Yan, was very happy and ordered me to lead all the officials to welcome the marquis here. . Tomorrow, Abba will hold a court meeting to reward the two virtuous brothers and meritorious soldiers."
The second brother cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Prince." The eldest brother nodded and made a "please" gesture.
The second brother walked forward, and the long-awaited civil and military officials came forward to pay homage to the King of Qin and express their congratulations to him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the eldest brother pulled Li Zhiyun aside and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, you performed well this time. I didn't misjudge you." Li Zhiyun said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, brother!"
At this time, Zhang Zheng suddenly stood in front of him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, we meet again." When Li Zhiyun saw it, he was pleasantly surprised: "Zhang Zheng, what, are you healed?"
"It's all done." Zhang Zheng said, and punched his chest twice with his fist.
Li Zhiyun looked him up and down, nodded and said, "Okay, he looks pretty good."
After entering the city, Li Zhiyun asked Scarface to lead the new army back to the military camp, and he, Zhang Zheng, and Cai Hu returned to the Chu Palace. Wei Xiaobao led hundreds of members of the family to welcome him outside the house. Li Zhiyun was proud and arrogant, and accepted everyone's congratulations with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Ying walked up to him with a pout. The last time he returned to Chang'an, the third sister gave him the "Women's Army" she lent him, and by the way, she also hooked up with Aunt Ying and offered to be his personal maid. Aunt Ying complained: "Your Majesty, you didn't take me with you when you went to fight. You left me alone in the palace. I almost suffocated to death."
"War is dangerous, and that's not for your safety."
"I don't care. Wherever you go, I will go."
"Well, I will take you with me next time I go on an expedition."
After Li Zhiyun returned to the palace, he simply washed himself, put on a set of clean clothes, and immediately went to the palace to meet his grandmother. Every time he returns to Chang'an, he has to go see his mother immediately.
Li Zhiyun entered the harem and was led by a eunuch to Grandma's palace. He walked into the large palace and saw his grandmother sitting on a soft couch. Two people stood opposite her, one was the fifth sister and the other was a man he had never seen before. This man was about twenty-five or six years old, with a fair complexion and a black beard. He looked very humble.
As soon as my mother saw him coming in, she stood up in surprise and greeted him: "Zhiyun, are you back?" Li Zhiyun quickly knelt down and saluted, and his mother pulled him up and said, "Zhiyun, get up and speak, let my mother take care of herself." Look at you."
"Mom, I'm fine."
At this time, the fifth sister came over and greeted with a smile: "Zhiyun, are you back?" Li Zhiyun nodded, turned to the man next to her and said, "Who is this?" The man quickly raised his hand and said, "Wei Chen Yang Shidao paid homage to His Highness the King of Chu and congratulated His Highness on his triumphant return!" The grandmother on the side smiled and said: "Hurry up and call Mr. Yang, he will be your brother-in-law soon."
When Li Zhiyun heard this, he was surprised and turned to the fifth sister: "Really?" The fifth sister smiled sheepishly and nodded.
Grandma pulled Li Zhiyun to the soft couch and asked him to sit next to her, wanting to have a good talk with him. The fifth sister said: "Mom, Zhiyun has just come back. You two have a lot to say, so let's leave first."
"All right."
After saying goodbye, the two walked out of the palace together. Li Zhiyun withdrew his eyes from the door, looked at his mother and said, "Who is this Yang Shidao?"
"He is the son of Yang Xiong, King of Guande in the Sui Dynasty. He fled from Luoyang to Chang'an a few months ago to join the Tang Dynasty. Your father appointed him as Shang Yi Tong." Mom said, "Your father thought that his family background was good, so he I want to marry your sister to him. It has been almost two years since Zhao Cijing was killed. Your sister is dragging two children alone, which makes me feel distressed. Now it’s better, and my worries have finally gone away."
"What kind of person is he? Will he be good to my sister?" As soon as Li Zhiyun said this, he felt it was completely redundant. The fifth sister is a princess, a golden girl. What man dares to treat her badly? Unless you don't want your own head anymore.
"This guy seems pretty good, quite honest," my mother said. "It is said that he is very knowledgeable and good at writing poems. Your sister likes to write and write. Now the two of them are in love. ... In ten days, they will be together." It's a big wedding, you come back just in time to attend their wedding..."
