"The general will finally understand." Yuan Jun secretly praised, such a responsible attitude is what Shepherd Tianlang should have.
"General, let's reward you based on your merits. I'm afraid other officers and soldiers will be jealous after seeing this."
"Don't pay attention to these. If you are jealous, go to Caohai and conquer, I will not be stingy with a reward of silver."
Yuan Jun smiled casually, said a few words to Li Luo, and said goodbye.
The night was quiet, and the big tent suddenly seemed lonely. Without the cicadas, Changshui Camp felt a little less lively and deserted. Li Luo felt a coldness rushing into his heart for no reason, and was wrapped up in it.
The clothes wrapped around me still couldn't stop the chill.
The coolness of autumn is not as cold as the coldness of the heart.
Li Luo guessed that there would be no reward from the imperial court, and there would probably be more if the troops were summoned to investigate. However, to his surprise, the imperial court actually granted the reward. However, along with the reward, there were also imperial envoys.
Accountability according to orders.
This time, the imperial court also knew that a few ordinary imperial envoys were definitely not qualified to hold Li Luo accountable, so there was one more person among them, someone Li Luo didn't want to see, at least not right now.
Prince Chun, Li Chengye.
Chinese army tent.
Li Luo had a cold expression on his face. The imperial envoy and his entourage were already ten miles away, and they were coming with a menacing force. The scent of an attack on the enemy could be clearly smelled even from a distance.
"General, the person who came here is not a good person."
Li Luo hummed, his expression softened a little, and he said: "Get ready to receive the imperial edict."
Yuan Jun responded, and went out to mobilize his troops to greet the imperial edict and the imperial envoys. Regardless of whether he could be rectified this time, the pomp and circumstance in front of him was essential, and if he was accused of contempt for the imperial power, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Outside the camp gate, the military flags were fluttering, and thirty-six large flags called banners were neatly lined up in four rows. Behind the big flags were the "Qing Rangers" responsible for patrolling, holding bows, crossbows and spears. They followed closely behind.
The first is the Suzaku team holding the Suzaku flag, holding spears and crossbows. Then there are twelve dragon flags: one each for Feng Bo and Yu Shi, one each for Thunder God and Lightning Mother, and wood, fire, earth, gold and mercury flags.
There are one flag on each side, one for the left and one for the right flag, and one for the Beidou flag. Behind the flags are the Tiger and Ben chariots, including the Compass Chariot, the Jiligu Chariot, the Egret Chariot, the Luan Flag Chariot, the Piei Chariot, and the Pixuan Chariot, etc.
Each cart is drawn by four horses, and has fourteen soldiers and one craftsman.
The queue is more than a hundred feet long. At this point, the ceremonial procession of the lead driver is over, and the lead ceremonial guard is followed by the lead driver.
The ceremonial guard of the lead is mainly about music and fighting. It is composed of twelve rows of cavalry holding horizontal knives, bows and arrows. It is called the "twelve layers of lead". It is followed by a drum band.
, the musical instruments are mainly various kinds of drums, including h drum, big drum, cymbal drum, festival drum, small drum, Yubao drum, etc. There are also wind instruments such as flute, Xiao, Jia, Changming and Zhongming, large horizontal blowing, 筚篥, etc.
As well as musical instruments such as gold ceremonials, there used to be nearly a thousand people in the band for such a grand ceremony in Zhuocheng, and the band in front of me also had no less than a hundred people.
After the band, there is a flag array composed of various flags, banners, flags, etc. After the flag array, there are Qinglong flag and white tiger flag arranged on the left and right, interspersed and mixed with cavalry and infantry soldiers holding weapons. Soldiers and generals
His expression was solemn, and the sword reflected bursts of cold light, which made people unable to open their eyes. There was such a strong murderous fighting spirit.
Li Luo's eyelids twitched wildly as he looked at the formation of soldiers prepared in front of the camp. Such a formation was not insignificant. If there were one more propaganda camp and rear military camp at the rear, it would be enough even if Emperor Wanlong came in person.
Merely greeting the imperial edict seems to be a bit fussy, but since it is an imperial edict, as if the emperor is coming in person, such a battle is justified, and others can't find any reason.
Ying Feng and Qu Mo came over and asked in a low voice: "General, what do you think?"
Li Luo took a breath of cold air and felt horrified. He touched the tip of his nose and said, "Where did you get these things?"
"Hey, I borrowed it."
"Borrowed it? Who has nothing to do to prepare something so complete and sufficient to welcome the Holy Commander's march?"
"The general doesn't know something. The last few people borrowed these from several military camps near Huahai. There are all kinds of flags and drums. I guess they will all be used when I go north to Youzhou.
I brought it with me, I guess I want to wait for someone from the court to use it, so I gave us an advantage first and borrowed it for our use."
Li Luo was speechless and sent his troops north. He didn't want to go into battle to kill the enemy, but only thought about these heresy.
When the drum music started playing, Li Luo immediately put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. After listening to it, a look of surprise appeared on his face and he said: "This drum music is quite good. Is it possible that there are brothers in the army who are good at drum music?"
Ying Feng and Qu Mo looked strange. Ying Feng pointed to the two agitators in the crowd and said: "General, look over there."
Ying Feng refers to two soldiers wearing Dagan military uniforms. The drumming order is the soul of the drum music. If the order is not chaotic, the music will not stop. Li Luo made a little distinction and found that the two drumming orders had different rhythms.
Weak. After listening carefully for a while, Li Luo was greatly surprised. In terms of rhythm alone, it seemed that it was not weaker than those of the court musicians, but the strength was a little worse. However, with the drums and orchestra behind him, it didn't hurt.
Li Luo pondered for a few breaths, nodded and said: "It's really extraordinary." After saying that, he asked with some suspicion, "When did such a talent appear in our camp?"
"Hey, it's ready-made, so I can borrow it for use."
As if aware of the eyes behind him, one of the instigators turned back and glanced at Li Luo, who was leading the crowd to greet him, and smiled charmingly, full of charm.
Li Luo was stunned, smiled awkwardly, turned around and glared at Ying Feng and Qu Mo, and whispered: "Didn't you say they were infected with the cold? Why did you let them leave the camp?"
Ying Feng called out to Qu Lai and said with a smile: "General, this is not an arbitrary suggestion by a few of my subordinates. It's Miss Rou and others who insist on helping. It's not like the general doesn't know that when it comes to drum music, there are many drummers in our camp."
You're a rough guy, there's no rules at all."
Li Luo shook his head helplessly and said: "That's it, forget it. Let them rest early after receiving the imperial edict. Also, be careful not to let others see it."
Ying Feng and Qu Qumo responded repeatedly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, Li Luo didn't mean to blame him seriously.
"Is there still no news about Jin Quxi?"
Qu Mo's expression dimmed and he replied in a deep voice: "Not yet..." After saying that, he glanced at Li Luo and swallowed back the word "bad luck" that was on his lips.
Li Luo frowned. Luye Naga set up an ambush a few months ago. Apart from Li Luo, only Qumo returned to Dagan. Bori Tiechna died. Kashgar, Kamo, and Jin Quyi's whereabouts are unknown, and their lives and deaths are unknown.
"The imperial envoy has arrived!" A loud shout came from far away. Li Luo gathered his thoughts and led the generals in the army to greet him.
