Three Kingdoms

Thousands of infantrymen were spaced ten steps apart, standing upright with tricolor flags lined up on both sides of the road, stretching from the military lecture camp outside the city to the old city of Chang'an.

Inside the city gate, the Hussars Guard Battalion and the Chang'an Inspection Office are in charge. The bright red armor and bright red battle robes have become the most eye-catching scenery in Chang'an City.

The streets were empty, and almost all the people from Chang'an gathered on both sides of the streets. When I couldn't stand any more inside the city, I stood outside the city. When I ran out of space on Zhuque Street, I risked being cursed by my host by leaning on the wall and climbing up to the roof.

This time it was more of a military parade than a big celebration.

After all, Angel has run away, and Chang'an Sanfu is Fei Qian's greatest, so it may not be appropriate for anyone to seal Fei Qian. After the angel dropped a volume of edict, he fled Chang'an in a hurry, as if he would be infected with some disease if he stayed for a while. In the eyes of many Shandong nobles, Sanfu in Chang'an is like a devil living in him. If he is not careful, his mind will be shaken and he will fall into self-doubt and scrutiny.

Of course Fei Qian would not tell these Shandong people that there are some things that cannot be escaped or stopped. Unless the Shandong nobles are willing to work hard and vigorously develop technology to surpass the three assistants in Guanzhong, they will only be invaded bit by bit until they completely collapse.

A military parade is a display of strength.

This can be felt in the several major military parades Fei Qian experienced in later generations, except of course, the Third Brother Military Parade. In fact, the first half of San Ge was quite serious, but the second half was so joyful that many people only remembered the fun in the second half and forgot that there was something in the first half...

Naturally, Fei Qian could not make the same mistake. He arranged all the "flower activities" on the day after the grand military parade. The location was also near Chang'an City, but around the Qinglong Temple, so as to ensure the success of the military parade. The effect is not to be led astray by some flowery activities.

The entire military parade route started from the school grounds outside the city, then passed through the South Gate, crossed Suzaku Street, passed the Golden Gate Bridge, arrived in front of the Husband's Mansion, and then headed north along the road and exited from the North Gate.

Basically, it is a reference to the military parade model of later generations.

But for the current people of the Han Dynasty, it can even be said that after Liu Xiu established the capital in Luoyang, the people of Chang'an Sanfu have never seen such a scene again. Although there were some prisoner dedication ceremonies, how could they be compared with the current military parade?

Everyone inside and outside Chang'an City and around Wuling was excited for this grand event. Those who were eligible to enter the city early held their heads high and were well-dressed to watch the ceremony. There were even descendants of the gentry who continued to spend a lot of money to rent an elegant room upstairs on both sides of the parade road to invite friends. He took his servants with him, set out fine wines and delicacies, and waited while drinking. While talking loudly, he seemed to regard himself as a reviewer, and even pointed out the country, recounting the numerous battles of the Han Dynasty one by one, as if they were treasures, and then inevitably all The title of General Hussar was attached to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing...

On this day, if you don’t have a few thousand dollars for a high-level position facing the street, don’t even think about it. If you have a better view, someone will still pay tens of thousands of dollars!

As for ordinary people, they can only huddle together in groups and piles on the street. Basically, they put down their work for the day, and a large family came out, calling their children and waiting in the crowd. The little kid was riding on his father's neck, looking around curiously with his dark and translucent eyes. He didn't know if these little kids would remember the current scene when they grow up.

As for those guys who were full of fun, they were in twos and threes. When they saw that there were many young ladies over there, they used all their strength to squeeze in and rub against each other, and then they might make some cooing. She would be scolded, or simply caught by the tigress next to the young lady, and she would be beaten.

Of course, a daughter of a noble family would not stand on the street. After all, it would be a shame to be a noblewoman after being squeezed and returned. Fortunately, after Fei Qian's governance, Chang'an City has many high-rise buildings and canals, so these The noble girl either rented a high-rise building alone, or rented a boat, and set up a green gauze curtain. From time to time, some soft and charming laughter came out. When the breeze blew, the green gauze would be lifted up, revealing some red or red gauze. The slender figure in yellow clothes, if he accidentally exposed some white flesh, would attract whistles one after another from the idle men around him...

In Zhuque Street and Xuanwu Street, as well as in other places outside the Yaqian Square of the General's Mansion, there are many smart people in some small alleys, carrying baskets and burdens, shouting and selling some The prices of food, fruits, and even some small sideshow items were slightly higher than usual. Even though some people were dissatisfied, sales were still good.

Among the crowd, there were some barbarians wearing Han robes but wearing beard hats. They had the style of later generations where the hair could be cut off or bleeding, but the hair should not be messed up. They also gathered together spontaneously and pointed across the crowd. They were talking some gibbering words, but there were also many barbarians with their mouths wide open, dumbfounded by the current grand scene of Chang'an City, and being pushed around by the crowd.

The inspector rode a war horse and patrolled the peripheral auxiliary streets of Zhuque Xuanwu. He would stop from time to time to maintain order. When he saw those guys who were making a lot of noise and refused to listen to advice, or some thieves who held out their three hands without opening their eyes, Just separate from the crowd, rush up, grab it and leave.

In the martial arts hall outside Chang'an City, the soldiers preparing to participate in the military parade also got up early. After eating breakfast, they dressed neatly and lined up at the designated position to wait.

The military formations lined up from the Martial Arts Hall to outside the south gate of Chang'an Old City!

Even veterans who have been in battle formations will inevitably feel a little excited and nervous as this is their first time to participate in such a grand military parade. However, after the experience of battle formations, the first batch of veteran troops gradually calmed down and naturally It showed a kind of solemn spirit of a soldier.

Just standing there can make people feel a murderous aura coming towards them. In addition, the soldiers participating in the military parade were all wearing a complete set of armor, which was shiny and polished. Even the smallest silk ribbons were carefully arranged. The saddle reins of the saddles were decorated with colorful silk, and the three-color flags were fluttering. It adds a third of "nobleness".

At the front of the queue were Wei Yan and Ma Yan.

A young man and an old man.

One is full of vigor, and the other has gray hair and beard.

One is wearing bright light armor, and the other is wearing black light armor.

But both of them are equally majestic and look forward to gaining authority.

A moment later, the sound of bells and drums came in succession, and the soldiers on the sentry towers along the way vigorously waved the red flags.

Ma Yan laughed and bowed his hand to Wei Yan, "Chang Wen, I'm leaving first!" 』

Wei Yan also held his hands solemnly, "Please!" 』

Ma Yan rode his horse forward, and the two flag-protecting cavalry behind him only followed behind until they were in front of the array of troops.

Ma Yan raised his arms and whistled, which resounded over the military formations: "First formation!" Set off! 』

On the viewing platform set up in the palace square of the Hussars General's Office, with the sound of rumbled military drums, Fei Qian appeared on the viewing platform with his direct subordinate officials, big and small.

Fei Qian naturally climbed to the top alone, and no one could compare with him. People like Pang Tong, Xun You, Sima Yi, Huang Chengyan and others lived on the second floor. As for ordinary officials, they went down one by one, extending to both sides of the square.

Around the square are directly armed guard battalions. Xu Chu is slightly shorter, and Wei Du is half a head taller, but they are both wearing black armor, standing like two iron towers below the high platform.

There are no seats on the high platform.

When Fei Qian was alone on the high platform, there were countless shouts and shouts around him. When he stood on the high platform and faced all the officials and people below, Pang Tong, Xun You and Sima Yi on the second floor The leaders of the others all bowed down, followed by some middle-level officials on the third floor, and finally Xu, Chu, Wei and other soldiers standing on the ground, as well as ordinary officials and ordinary people. The sound of shouting from the mountains!

"See! 』

"General Hussars!" 』

"Wan Sheng!" Won victory! Won victory! 』

Although he didn't shout "Long Live", it still made Fei Qian feel a little dazed, and then Qingming came over and raised his hands upward, "Everyone, please stand up!" 』

"Thank you, General!" 』

Before Shan Hu, there was still some unevenness, but when I got up, it was much neater, as if I had trained countless times.

This situation suddenly made Fei Qian feel a little funny, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. It feels like going to school in later generations. The teacher is sparse in greeting and procrastinating in class, but after class is over, there is a very neat and orderly rush...

Before the serious military parade, there was a review process, but Fei Qian was not the emperor after all, he was just a hussar general, so he skipped the previous review process and started the parade directly.

Pang Tong raised his head and stared at Fei Qian's expression, as if he was looking for something in Fei Qian's expression, but to his surprise, he saw that Fei Qian quickly changed from trance to calmness, and then had some mocking expressions... …

Well, this seems normal, after all, this is the hussar general, isn't it?

Then Pang Tong saw Fei Qian's gaze, grinned, smiled, and withdrew his gaze. Suddenly he felt something, so he turned his head slightly, only to see that Sima Yi had just withdrawn his gaze.

Sima Yi cupped his hands towards Pang Tong.

Pang Tong nodded.

Immediately, the two people seemed to have no communication, and as if they had finished communicating, they each looked in different directions.

The sound of mountain calls spread layer by layer outside the city gate.

The soldiers on the gate tower of the city gate shouted loudly, "The general has come to the stage!" Please start! 』

Ma Yan shouted in a deep voice: "Cheer up!" Enter the city! A gift! 』

"Shout!" 』

As the military drums sounded loudly, the Xiliang men who were carefully selected in the front row stood up straight with flags and flags, and gave orders in unison for the horses to move forward slowly.

Everyone knows that it is not easy to make a war horse look as neat as a human being, but there are some tips. The horses in the first row are the most important. As long as the horses in the first row are neat, the horses in the following rows will also appear neater due to their natural following habits.

And Fei Qian asked Ma Yan and others to specially select the first row of horses with similar heights and colors during training. The effect of strengthening the training was revealed. He only heard the collision of armor and the sound of horses kicking, and the military formations marched one by one. , which caused the surrounding people to cheer one after another.

The cheers sounded from outside the south gate, and then vibrated in the sky above Chang'an City. All the common people and nobles stretched their heads to look south as if someone had lifted their necks!

The sound in Chang'an City increased a lot as Ma Yan led his soldiers onto Zhuque Street. For a moment, it was as if the entire Chang'an City was agitated, cheering, and shouting. Looking forward to this rare event, it has become a festival that everyone can enjoy in Chang'an City, regardless of men, women, old or young, or scholars!

The cavalry moved forward.

Cheers surged.

Flags are flying.

The sound of horse hooves.

At this moment, the blood of the soldiers under the three-color flag seemed to be boiling with the cheers and looks of the common people and scholars in Chang'an City, men, women, old and young!

All the hard work of training before, all the suffering in the war, and the pain of injuries seemed to have disappeared. What was left was incomparable pride and pride. Everyone stood up straight, wishing that they could not put all of them together. The arrogance is engraved and displayed at this moment!

"Big man!" 』

"mighty! 』

"Hussars!" 』

"Wan Sheng!" 』

Amidst the cheers that surged like huge waves, the military formations moved forward slowly, one after another.

Behind the cavalry array was the "Kaishan Camp" wearing heavy armor.

The Tomahawk heavy armor soldiers transformed from the original Modao heavy armor soldiers are simply like the powerful warriors responsible for cutting mountains and roads in mythology. The whole body is covered with thick armor, except for a few parts such as the armpits and the back of the knees. In some places, cloth armor is used to ensure flexibility, and the rest of the places are covered with at least two layers of iron armor.

Thanks to the new armor support structure, the shoulders of these heavy armored soldiers can no longer bear most of the weight of the armor, allowing them to move more freely, ensuring stronger endurance and destructive power.

The long-handled double-sided battle ax, the shining blade is like the ice cold under the Nine Netherworld. Even a simple glance, you know that if such a heavy armored warrior is knocked into the array of ordinary soldiers, it will be a disaster. Just like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, it will definitely cause a torrential rain of blood!

These heavily armored soldiers marched forward in unison. Because of the weight of the armor, even if they did not goose-step like in later generations, every step they took forward brought out an irresistible momentum.

In normal times, if ordinary people saw such a suit of armor and a soldier holding such a terrifying weapon, they would definitely feel scared. However, at the moment, these people were not only slightly scared, but also more excited. And proud!

Some people couldn't help but tremble under the dual stimulation of fear and excitement, and then from the bottom of their hearts, they felt an irresistible heart of obedience to the hussar general Fei Qian represented by these soldiers...

Can he fight against such an army and such soldiers?

cannot.

So what kind of existence is a hussar general who can command such an army and such soldiers that no one can resist?

This is the result of Fei Qian's adjustments to the martial arts hall.

Because the current soldiers of the Han Dynasty cannot be selected and prepared nationwide in advance like those of later generations. They even have certain standards for height and leg length, and then conduct long-term isolation training to achieve a tacit and unified effect. So we can only take some tricky measures.

Such as cavalry and heavy armor.

Because of the characteristics of the arms, the cavalry can form a neat pace as long as they are linked up. The heavy armored soldiers move slowly, one step at a time, and can form an indestructible steel momentum similar to that of later generations...

Therefore, the military formations of the two sides immediately aroused the emotions of the people of Chang'an, causing the cheers to almost resound through the sky. Everyone seemed to have lost their hearing, only feeling a buzzing in their ears, and then they couldn't help but follow along. Only by shouting can the trembling and excitement in my heart be vented.

Among the crowd and in the tall buildings, there were some people with ugly faces.

When facing these military formations and advancing slowly, these people felt as if they had been stabbed hard several times. They felt uncomfortable everywhere, neither standing nor sitting.

These guys are naturally the descendants of the gentry from Shandong.

For them, Shandong has been arrogant for a long time. They once regarded Xiliang, Guanzhong, as a wild and wild land. They were like a self-proclaimed goddess who despised a hard-working brother. They felt that these Xiliang warriors should be born to be theirs. When driven, one must be obedient and willing to work without complaint. But now it is discovered that these big men from Kansai are so powerful. The mental outlook displayed in the military ranks has condensed into one place, as if it were substance. They are oppressed and find it difficult to breathe...

The noble temperament, beautiful moral character, beautiful character, and even the soul that have been cultivated over the years will be destroyed...

So, I could only turn my face away and pretend I hadn't seen it.

The Eastern Han Dynasty despised the suppression of Shanxi from generation to generation and talked too much. Even he believed it. He believed that the so-called literati could rule the world with their pen and ink, and that they could level the world with their holy words. In addition, Jizhou and Yuzhou It is a land of prosperity and peace and enjoyment for a long time. How can they understand the misery of repeated fighting in the Han Dynasty and the desert north of Xiliang for decades, the pain of wind and frost in the face of battle, and the pain of losing their families when the Hu people went south to attack the pass and build a fortress? ?

Even after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's Rebellion, the Shandong Allied Forces still feel that they are still the boss, and they still want to kill each other and annex each other. In the eyes of the children of powerful locals, those who can control the world can still only be People from Shandong and these guys from Shanxi, even if they gain power for a while, they will never last long!

In real history, it was Cao Wei who took advantage of the Three Kingdoms in the Han Dynasty. However, these powerful nobles did not reflect on the war and pain. Instead, they continued to indulge in party strife and fight for power. The political power was also in turmoil. After the final unification, they could not Like other unified dynasties, they recovered again, but continued to have turmoil and disputes, and eventually evolved into the Five Husbands!

What they see now makes these Shandong scholars who came to participate in the Qinglong Temple lectures feel turbulent. Some people are doubtful, some are frightened, some are thinking, and some are worried...
