On the official road leading to Shanhaiguan from the north of Yingzhou City, first the gold-embroidered dragon flag fluttering in the wind appeared on the city wall in front of everyone's eyes.
Then the banners of the Six Guards of the New Army followed closely behind, also whistling in the breeze.
The banners of the generals Cheng, Ye, Chu, Feng, Ning, and Zhou, as well as thirty banners of the generals of each battalion, were laid out and appeared in the eyes of all the officers and soldiers on the city wall.
“Mr. Xia, the Marquis and the General, there are also soldiers and horses in the northwest!”
When everyone heard the message from the lookout on the city tower, they immediately turned their attention to the northwest. Sure enough, there was also a group of soldiers and horses from the northwest approaching Yingzhou City slowly like the soldiers and horses from the north.
Within a few sticks of incense, the two armies and horses merged into one, and gradually integrated themselves into a neat formation on horseback outside Yingzhou City. They stationed their horses and looked at the Yingzhou City Wall.
Xia Gongming sighed solemnly and adjusted his official robe.
“Guan Ninghou, use the hanging basket to send me down the city wall!”
Lu Tao hesitated for a moment, looked at Xia Gongming with admiration in his eyes and nodded.
“Sir, take care of it.”
"It is about to become a piece of rotten wood, so how can we take care of it? If I cannot get what I want and keep my troops out of the city, the heavy responsibility of defending the city will be left to you and General Chang."
“Don’t worry, sir, I and General Chang will definitely live up to your majesty’s trust.”
While talking, Xia Gongming had already jumped into the hanging basket with the support of the general.
Lu Tao couldn't bear to wave his hand gently and watched Xia Gongming being released under the city wall by the soldiers.
After a while of tea, Xia Gongming jumped out of the hanging basket, and his old figure walked steadily towards the six guards of the New Army who were neatly formed outside the city.
Six generals Cheng Kai, Zhou Baoyu and thirty battalion generals have gathered the three brothers Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengzhi and Liu Chengqian in front of the formation, as if they were following the lead of the eldest son Liu Chengzhi.
“Your Royal Highness, in addition to the Longwuwei flag on the city wall, six of the other eight flags are the flags of the generals of the Sixth Battalion of the Forbidden Army, and the other two should be the flags of the Beijing Military Guard.
In other words, the current number of troops in the city is estimated to be around 80,000, and the number of auxiliary troops is still unclear.”
Liu Chengzhi heard Zhou Baoyu’s explanation at the side, put down the telescope in his hand and nodded clearly.
“Uncle Zhou, I understand.
I will listen to you on how to act."
Zhou Baoyu stared at Liu Chengzhi for a moment, turned and looked at each other for a moment, nodded to each other, raised the flags in their hands and started to dance towards the soldiers and horses behind them.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers around him immediately waved their command flags and galloped toward the rear military formation, passing on the flags of the Six Guards generals.
Within about a moment of burning incense, six of Zhou Baoyu’s men got off their horses one after another, followed by thirty battalion generals and walked towards Liu Chengzhi’s horse.
“We respectfully invite His Highness the Crown Prince to inherit the throne!”
The thirty-six people were all generals with solid foundations in martial arts, and their words were shouted like the thunder of tigers and leopards, clearly reaching the ears of tens of thousands of soldiers in the front army.
Tens of thousands of soldiers had already understood the instructions of the flag, immediately dismounted, held the reins of the horses in one hand, and the sword in the other hand and knelt down on one knee to salute Liu Chengzhi.
“We respectfully invite His Highness the Crown Prince to inherit the throne!”
The shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were so loud that they resounded through the sky, and their words reached the ears of the more than 200,000 cavalry soldiers at the rear.
More than 200,000 soldiers dismounted without hesitation and followed the example of their brothers in the front army, dismounting and saluting.
“We respectfully invite His Highness the Crown Prince to inherit the throne!”
“We respectfully invite His Highness the Crown Prince to inherit the throne!”
“We respectfully invite His Highness the Crown Prince to inherit the throne!”
Three loud shouts resounded inside and outside the city. The sound was so loud that the forest birds inside and outside the pass were frightened and the people in the city paid attention.
The soldiers and horses on the city wall have been staring intently at every move of the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Six Guards of the New Army outside the city. They were shocked to see how well-trained they were and how they carried out orders and prohibitions.
This is the elite of the border army.
In the time it takes to make a cup of tea, the general can communicate with the entire army in an instant, and the soldiers can follow the order without hesitation.
Facing 200,000 arrogant and powerful generals who could become enemies, the soldiers and horses on the city wall had no confidence.
Even if we defend the fortified city, we still have no confidence at all.
Liu Chengzhi looked around excitedly at the 200,000 soldiers and horses behind him who could barely see the edge. He got off his horse and slowly raised his hands.
“My nephew Liu Chengzhi is still young and cannot afford such great gifts from the officers and men.
However, my father’s ambition was not fulfilled and he suffered misfortune. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the family cannot be without a master for a day.
The nephew bravely accepted the gift and obeyed his father's order. He inherited the throne and reassured the people of Northern Territory.
My nephew, I would like to thank all the seniors for your approval. Thank you.
Gentlemen, please rise."
“See King Bingjian, a thousand years old!”
“See King Bingjian, a thousand years old!”
“See King Bingjian, a thousand years old!”
Xia Gongming listened to the deafening shouts in his ears, looked at the three Liu Chengzhi brothers standing in front of the Six Guards Formation of the New Army, and fixed his eyes on Liu Chengzhi standing in the middle.
When the noise subsided, Xia Gongming looked around with a complicated expression at the 200,000 tiger and wolf troops who were dozens of steps away and slowly walked towards Liu Chengzhi.
“I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.” Fastest updated PC version::/
Xia Gongming's voice caused Liu Chengzhi to turn around and look at Xia Gongming. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the front army stared at Xia Gongming eagerly.
“Who is the elder?”
“Xia Gongming, the official imperial censor, has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”
Liu Chengzhi was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand Xia Gongming's identity. He glanced towards the city wall, fixed his gaze on Xia Gongming and bowed in a flat salute.
“It turns out to be Mr. Xia. The king has heard Mr. Xia’s honorable name for a long time from his father’s mouth, and it can be said that it is like thunder in his ears.
I saw you today, the old man is indeed getting stronger with age, and the younger man is very polite."
“I don’t dare, I don’t dare. I don’t dare to give a big salute to His Royal Highness.”
“Mr.
Xia Gongming couldn't help but tremble when he looked at the high-spirited Liu Chengzhi. A complicated look flashed through his old but sharp eyes, and he secretly thought that he really had a tiger father but no dog son.
The appearance of King Bingjian's direct heir today is so similar to that of King Bingjian when he first entered the court.
High-spirited and sharp.
Especially the body that stood there as straight and straight as a spear with the weapon on his waist, it was exactly the same as his father's appearance when he returned from the war.
It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's journey with the army has been recognized by the six guards of the new army under King Bingjian. Otherwise, there would never have been the scene of today's 200,000-strong army respectfully requesting the throne.
If he is determined to rebel at this moment, he will probably be followed by all the troops if he gives an order.
Suddenly, Xia Gongming felt that the pressure on himself was even greater.
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
When the King of Side by Side passed away, the lower officials were also grieved.
However, to inherit the throne, you need to make an order to spread the word to the world, and go to the capital with the dragon king's seal to apply for the title.
It's not that the official is dissatisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince's succession to the throne, but in fact the etiquette cannot be abolished.
Wang Liu Mingzhi, whose name is "father", has known his subordinates for many years. They abide by etiquette and treat others with fairness.
If there is a soul in heaven, it will be difficult to rest in peace knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne in a hasty manner without regard for etiquette and law, without the character of his father.
Our dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and I hope that Your Highness, the Crown Prince, will imitate it because of my father's selfless character and his upright and honest nature.
Inherit the destiny, respond to the world, and succeed to the throne with etiquette.
Although I am old and frail, I am still willing to lead the way for His Royal Highness.
也也也也也也与人人也与天人人也 will be obeyed by Heaven and others, and will inherit the throne.)
“Mr.
Since our dynasty governs the country with filial piety, why shouldn’t the younger generation succeed to the throne immediately in accordance with the king’s wishes?”
