Chapter 243 Spirit Emperor Parade

Cao Cao and Liu Ye chatted happily until late at night before giving up, and Cao Cao knew that Liu Ye would return to Liangzhou in a short time, so he was quite reluctant, so he slept in the same bed with Liu Ye. I seldom go there, so I simply live in Cao Cao's mansion, which is quite convenient.

However, reminiscing about the old days with Cao Cao is not Liu Ye's main task, the key is the military parade held by Emperor Ling in Luoyang.

In November of the fourth year of Zhongping, the sun was seen outside the west gate of Luoyang, and Ping was optimistic.

I saw a high platform with a radius of nine feet built on the ground, surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, standing in an array, each with bright armor and shiny weapons. Obviously, they knew who would simplify themselves today, so they all seemed very excited. And a little careful.

Different from yesterday's costume of a wealthy businessman, today's He Jin has resumed his identity as a general, wearing a military uniform. Although he is obese, his face is full of vigor and energy.

Dozens of senior generals in the army galloped out one after another and came under the high platform.

"How are you preparing?"

"Report to the general, everything is well prepared, just waiting for your majesty's inspection." Dozens of generals shouted in unison, with a lot of momentum.

He Jin nodded in satisfaction, and turned around: "Your Majesty, everything is ready, is the military parade going to start?"

"allow."

The person who spoke was also in military uniform, with an excited expression on his face, it was none other than Emperor Lingdi Han.

General He Jin held a yellow unicorn battle flag in his hand and waved it vigorously. The yellow unicorn fluttered in the air with the wind, as if it was about to jump out with its teeth and claws.

When the soldiers in the audience saw the general waving the battle flag, they immediately started to move.

A group of pawns in bright armor stood in formation and moved forward. Thousands of troops marched forward in formation, and the smoke and dust on the ground were arrogant.

The five thousand army moved forward as a whole, their spears waving in the wind, and the yellow ribbons were tied on them, which was quite beautiful.

"Wings for the country, like a forest!"

Emperor Ling nodded in satisfaction. Although he woke up early this morning, he felt a sense of satisfaction in seeing such momentum. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out and swept through the eight states, Emperor Ling was almost intimidated to the ground, but seeing such an elite army surrounded him, he was not worried immediately.

Five thousand troops stood in place, forming an army formation. On the right side, there were three thousand cavalrymen coming one after another, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes stepping on the ground was like thunder and lightning resounding from the clouds to the ground, and the sound was endless.

Three thousand cavalry galloped on the ground like a giant cone, as if they were flying straight towards the high platform. When Lingdi saw such a large-scale cavalry charge, surrounded by guards, he couldn't help but turn pale.

Seeing that the giant cone was about to hit the high platform head-on, the general commanding the cavalry pointed his whip to the east, and the three thousand cavalry immediately galloped towards the east flexibly like their arms and fingers. It is around the high platform for a week, and the mountain shouts long live.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

Hearing the thunderous voice of Long Live, although Emperor Ling was taken aback by the initial charge, he couldn't help but smile, and extended his hand to the thousands of cavalrymen. Seeing the Son of Heaven waving to them in person, the voice of Long Live became even louder. Almost surrounded Lingdi.

These three thousand knights are the Sanhe knights, that is, the cavalry from the three places of Hedong, Hexi, and Hanoi. Back then, Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi led the army to crusade against the Yellow Turbans, and the Sanhe knights also made great achievements.

After Sanhe Knight Shan shouted Long Live, he slowly controlled the speed of the horse and stopped, and the formation stopped next to the Habayashi Army.

But at this time, a yellow unicorn battle flag fluttered from a distance, only ten thousand troops came overwhelmingly, and one of the generals in the middle was old and strong, and it was Huang Fusong, the general of the chariot and cavalry of Gao Sheng.

"The car is flying, the flags are fierce."

"The emperor ordered me to fight in all directions!"

This 10,000-strong army is the Northern Army stationed in the outskirts of Luoyang, also known as the Central Army. They are basically elite soldiers who accompanied Huangfusong to fight against the Yellow Turbans. They have rich combat experience and firm will.

The 10,000 Northern Army is like a wall of iron and steel, slowly advancing. The formation of the army is tight, almost rubbing against each other, and a fierce force is pushing towards them. If the newly recruited soldiers encounter such fierce soldiers, I'm afraid it will collapse without a fight.

"Big man, long live!"

Huangfusong took the lead in shouting, and all the soldiers under his command fought bravely to be the first, roaring in unison.

"Big man, long live!"

"Son of heaven, long live!"

Lingdi, who had been a little numb from the deafening roar, smiled and waved to the ten thousand northern troops, and then more than ten thousand northern troops also stood in formation. Three huge army formations stood on the left and right sides of the high platform, making Emperor Ling feel extremely safe.

"Aiqing, what is the strength of our Han army?" Emperor Ling turned his head and said to Gai Xun who was behind him. Gai Xun was a veteran general in Liangzhou. After Han Sui's rebellion broke out, he did not leave the city to fight. Instead, he resolutely stationed in the city, making Han Sui look like a man on his back. When Liu Ye completely eliminated Han Sui, Gai Xun was recruited to Luoyang by Emperor Ling. , to participate in the military parade together.

Gai Xun, who was fifty years old, had a tough face, but frowned, and said coldly: "The trouble of the court is not in Luoyang, but in the frontier. In the north, there are Wuhuan, Xianbei, Qianghu, colluding with prefectures and counties, invading Has Your Majesty forgotten the calamity of sandalwood and stone in the territory of the Han Dynasty?"

Emperor Ling smiled awkwardly when he heard Gai Xun's words.

General He Jin frowned: "Old General Gai, how could you be so disrespectful to His Majesty?"

"General! Alright."

Emperor Ling waved his hand to show that he didn't care. Although he was a foolish king, he was not a tyrant. Back then, Xianbei Tan Shikai unified the three tribes of Xianbei with a majestic momentum. He sent Xia Yu and other three people to lead 30,000 cavalry to the expedition, but they were defeated and returned. Unexpectedly, Gai Xun brought it up, but he didn't say anything, but continued to watch the military parade.

At this time, more than a thousand cavalry roared out, like a feathered arrow, galloping across the ground, raising countless smoke and dust, and the leader of the general, Gu Pan Zixiong, was Liu Ye.

Seeing Liu Ye coming, Emperor Ling smiled slightly, and said to Gai Xun: "Old General Gai, the Liangzhou iron cavalry under Liu Shishi's command will surely put an end to the disaster of Qiang Hu."

Seeing that Emperor Ling was still very polite to him, Gai Xun sighed: "The old minister is rude."

"It's okay, let's see grace?" Emperor Ling was taken aback.

"Shoot!" Liu Ye yelled, and more than a thousand knights under his command immediately drew up their longbows, bumped on the horse's back, and suddenly let go of the bowstring pointing to the sky, and more than a thousand arrow feathers flew out immediately.

Whoosh whoosh!

More than a thousand arrows fell on the ground. Although the momentum was not as powerful as that of the more than 10,000 northern troops, it surprised many generals.

"Riding and archery is the unique skill of Qiang Hu. It is unexpected that the cavalry under Liu Shishi's command are also proficient in this."
