Chapter 13 In the third quarter, the East China Sea rises

The season is still in Zhongyou, and there is still a Xiayou away from Shihan, but the Linzi Palace is already busy up and down. Those who are busy are prepared to do things in many ways.During the reign of King Xuan of Qi, this kind of busyness was only for a few days when Shihan came.Now, it is much earlier, and the busy Shipai is even bigger.The charcoal was brought in continuously by ox carts, the artisans repaired the gaps day and night, the servants hurriedly installed wooden frames with thick cotton curtains on the outside of each hall, and the maids were busy repairing all the halls, corridors, and houses. Set up a stove for lighting a fire.The doctor in charge of royal affairs was busy buying valuable furs from the official market, so that King Qi could reward each concubine with a good fur on the first cold day.And the officials who enter the palace at any time will inevitably make some comments, point out various flaws from time to time, or even personally give all kinds of whimsical suggestions to King Qi Min. It should be brightly colored, and there should be a small burner to warm the crotch under the throne, and so on.When King Qi Min was happy, he would stand up and give orders loudly, and then he was very busy with all kinds of repairs and changes.As a result, the palace is full of vitality as it flows in and out continuously.

This unprecedented royal scene was all due to a tortoise divination by the wizard of the Taimiao. When King Qi Xuan had just ascended the throne, the queen gave birth to a son.The maid rushed to report, and King Xuan of Qi left the ministers who were discussing matters, and rushed to the harem to visit in a hurry.The queen said that when she was giving birth, she clearly saw a hornless green dragon flying towards her from the clouds!King Xuan of Qi was shocked, and immediately rushed to the Taimiao to ask the great wizard for divination.The white-haired and childlike wizard made an exception and chose the ancient method of drilling turtles to divination this extraordinary omen.When the sharp red pillar that was so bright that it almost glowed yellow and white pierced into the drill hole of the tortoise shell, there was a slight "click!", and the tortoise shell had cracks of varying thickness.The old wizard looked at it for a while, but he didn't say a word, and after a while, he ordered to the fortune teller: "Drill again!" In this way, he burned nine pillars and pierced nine tortoise shells, and the cracks were not bad at all.The old wizard frowned, and sighed to King Xuan of Qi who was guarding the outer room: "Nine diamonds are as one, I have never heard of it! This omen corresponds to the blue dragon in the Tianhe River, but it is difficult to know whether it is good or bad." King Xuan of Qi was puzzled, so he sent Ji Zou Yan, a master of the Onmyoji School in Xiaxue Palace, secretly summoned him to the palace for advice.Zou Yan pondered for a while and said: "To disassemble the tortoise pattern, the national teacher is the most important. Zou Yan dare not speak nonsense. However, there is a precedent in history. Shang Tang destroyed Xia, drilled seventy-two tortoises, and the tortoise patterns are all the same. This proves that when It is undoubtedly an auspicious omen. Besides, Qi resides in the east, and the position of the blue dragon is also. Tianhe Qingjiao hangs down on the royal family, which corresponds to the prosperity of the Qi State." Zou Yan has profound knowledge and is a great master of the Yin-Yang family. Fate, yin and yang, and five elements are almost all well understood. After extensive demonstrations, King Qi Xuan was overjoyed.

This prince who goes up to Tianhe Qingjiao is the Tiandi of King Qi Min.Because of this sign of great prosperity, Tian Di was established as the prince of Qi State for the first time at the time of the full moon.When he ascended the throne and became king at the age of 20, the original omen of the green dragon was revived in Qi State.As a result, all kinds of rules corresponding to Qingjiao became popular unexpectedly, and all kinds of myths related to dragons and snakes quietly spread.For example, winter is the season when dragons and snakes hibernate to maintain their vitality, and the palace has to make extra arrangements to prepare for the winter, and everything must be marked with the sign of the hidden dragon to be considered a good effort.

The theory of Qingjiao was widely spread by the alchemists of Qi State.The state of Qi was originally the birthplace of alchemists. Seeing this good opportunity, the alchemists were so energetic that they ran around and rumored that the four sacred snakes, jiao, qiu, scorpion, and scorpion, are all hornless dragons. It also ranks first among the dragons, almost as sacred and noble as the dragon, and the dragon is good at fighting, and is more ferocious than the dragon. It is the image of the overlord of the Eastern Azure Dragon!As the rumors flowed, King Qi became a heaven-sent overlord in the hearts of the Chinese people, and the alchemists became guests of the royal palace.

The secret is the secret, this King Qi Min's land is really different from ordinary people. Ever since Zongjiao was a child, Tiandi believed that he was born with a domineering dragon nature, quick speech, and firm demeanor.When getting on the horse, the maid should kneel on the ground as the mounting stone, and when dismounting, the white and tender maid should kneel on the ground with her tall buttocks as the dismounting stone.After being the crown prince for 20 years, he killed more than 60 maids and servants.As soon as he started studying at the age of five, Tian Di became even more talented. He actually drove away two elementary school teachers.Later, King Xuan of Qi personally invited Tian Ba, a well-known scholar in Jixia Academy who was famous for his polemic skills, as Prince Fu.Before the first lecture, Tian Di asked loudly: "May I ask you, what are the five monsters?" Tian Ba ​​was startled, and replied seriously: "Scholarship is based on the classics. Why do you say strange powers and chaotic spirits?" Tian Di giggled Said: "If you don't know, you don't know. There are monsters in the world, can't you tell them?" Tian Ba ​​was embarrassed, blushing and said: "The prince said, what are the five monsters?" The monster is a sprite, the wood monster is Kui, the soil monster is a sheep, and the fire monster is Song Wuji!" Tian Ba ​​couldn't help laughing, "I don't have this kind of knowledge!" He left in a huff and immediately resigned from the crown prince. Fu.From then on, the State of Qi housed Jixia Academy, a place full of world famous scholars, but no one wanted to be the Prince Fu.Later, Tian Di simply refused any teachers, and studied and practiced martial arts by himself, without any instruction, and he developed a whole body of skills, memorizing eloquence and being brave.As a result, the government and the public were in an uproar, and the secret of the "Qingjiao Tianshou" spread even more shockingly.

After ascending the throne and proclaiming himself king, King Qi Min boldly started his hegemony.The first edict is to double the tax, and the treasury will be filled.The next step is to conscript 300,000 strong troops. Together with the original 300,000 troops, Qi will have 600,000 troops, making it the leader of the Seven War Kingdoms in one fell swoop!Then there is a series of secret plans, only to choose the right time for the dragon to come out of the water. At this time when the murderous aura was permeating, Lord Mengchang reported: Gan Mao, the frustrated official of the Qin State, has arrived.When King Qi Min heard that Gan Mao was disappointed to enter Qi, he sneered: "Since the powerful minister is defeated, he should die! Do you come to Qi to make up for it?" Meng Changjun whispered, and then King Qi Min smiled: "Okay! I saw this rambunctious Yu." At this moment, King Qi Min was wandering around the corridor of the main hall, and in front of him, the oxcarts and maids who were busy in the palace square suddenly turned into thousands of troops galloping. , Shan Hu rushed into Hangu Pass like a tsunami, countless black flags of Qin State were invincible, and the purple flag of Qi State rushed into Xianyang in one fell swoop, King Qi Min couldn't help laughing loudly...

"Report to my king: Lord Mengchang and Gan Mao from the state of Qin have arrived at the palace gate!" Sima's voice was high and anxious. King Qi Min sternly scolded: "Is there a thief behind you? Slow down!" Before the Sima of the palace gate came back to his senses, King Qi Min had already turned around and ordered: "Come on! Take down this ignorant Shu Zi, and behead the palace gate!" !" At this moment, Sima of the Palace Gate was shocked, and while struggling in the circle of soldiers, he shouted: "I, Wang Mingjian! It's my Wang Ligui: The power of the green dragon shakes the sky, and the warriors in the palace must not whisper!"

King Qi Min gave a stern smile: "The season has changed, the blue dragon is dormant, and all things are silent. Don't you know the crime?" The Sima of the palace gate was dumbfounded, and his voice was hoarse in despair: "Smart words are impermanent, what is the way of the king!" King Qi Min was furious, he pulled out the long sword around his waist and stabbed straight in the chest, only heard a muffled sound of "Puff!", blood spattered for several feet, and King Qi Min who was in front of him was immediately covered in blood red.A circle of armored soldiers were at a loss, they all put aside their spears and knelt down and bowed their heads, no one knew what to say.The blood-red King Qi Min stood in the circle of soldiers, but suddenly laughed: "Winter sees blood, and spring is good luck! The soldiers of the palace gate, each of them will be promoted to a rank!" He kowtowed to his head, but the voice of "Thank you my king" was humming and had no energy.King Qi Min sternly scolded: "Where is the strength of Qinglong guard? Didn't you eat?!" The leader of the armored soldier quickly kowtowed in panic: "The Qinglong is dormant, and everything is silent. No one dares to disobey it." King Qi Min smiled slyly: "Hidden The period will not come yet, but if you break it with the dragon's heart, can you know the law?" The soldiers suddenly shouted loudly: "My king is a god! Long live—!" King Qi Min laughed loudly: "Okay! Such a soldier is worthy of the king's great cause!" The soldiers roared again: "Thank you, my king, for the reward! Long live!" They quickly got up and hurriedly packed the corpses.

This sudden change was clearly seen by Mr. Mengchang and Gan Mao who had just entered the palace gate.The corner of Meng Changjun's mouth twitched as if he was about to step forward to persuade him, but Gan Mao grabbed the skirt of his shirt: "Wait a minute, 'it will not arrive', don't be embarrassed." Meng Changjun gritted his teeth, pulled Gan Mao and went outside the palace gate again waiting.Gan Mao laughed in a low voice: "You are enlightened, and you can be self-sufficient." Meng Changjun kept his face dark but didn't say a word, standing like a stone man in the chilling autumn wind.

A moment later, a loud shout came from far away in the palace: "Uncle brought the Qin envoy to meet—! Uncle brought the Qin envoy to meet—! Uncle..." Wave after wave, it was continuous.Gan Mao couldn't help but smile.Mr. Mengchang's big eyes stared: "Where does the smile come from?" Gan Mao said in a low voice: "Six Proclamations, the ambition of the emperor, Gan Mao dare not smile?" But Mr. Mengchang said with a sullen face: "It's so noisy! Let's go, go to the hall!" Gan Mao grabbed Meng Changjun's sleeve again and said in a hurry: "Your listen to me is fine, and I will meet you with the six proclamation ceremony!" Meng Changjun hesitated for a moment, and Gan Mao had pulled his sleeves and bowed down to the ground and shouted in unison, Lord Mengchang shouted: "Bochen come to court! Long live my king—!" Gan Mao shouted: "Foreign ministers come to court! Longevity is boundless—!" After he kowtowed six times before getting up, there was a protocol officer Came to guide, Meng Changjun went forward, Gan Mao followed, and then entered the busy palace.

There was a reason for all this tossing just now: King Qi Min liked to show off his knowledge by surprise, and if his ministers or envoys didn't know how to deal with it, it would be hard to say what the outcome would be.In the whole court, except Lord Mengchang and Su Dai, who have not encountered such embarrassment, the more talented and famous the courtiers, the more often they encounter bizarre criticisms.After a long time, the ministers of the state of Qi will be in fear when they enter the palace for an audience or a routine court meeting.Ordinary days, I would search my brains to figure out the weird etiquette and the knowledge in the corners of the book, for fear that if I was questioned, I would be killed.Today, King Qi Min was in a peaceful and happy mood, but after the palace gate Sima shattered his dream, he suddenly became anxious again, and when he killed the palace gate Sima, Qi Min Wang suddenly became that stubborn man again. Unbearable for the young prince who loves to play pranks, so there is this six-person ceremony that has already entered the grave. The Six Proclamation Ceremony is the ceremony for the emperor of Zhou to meet the princes.Zhou etiquette regulations: big princes with the same surname as the royal family are called "Uncle", small princes with the same surname are called "Uncle", big princes with different surnames are called "Uncle", and small princes with different surnames are collectively called "Uncle".All in all, it is nothing more than the etiquette of declaring the blood relationship of the monarch and his subjects.The princes must listen to the announcement and kowtow before they can enter the palace.Proclamation is also very particular: the six proclaims of the great princes are issued by the emperor, and the "Shangbai" at the entrance of the palace is the first to proclaim, and then the "Chengbai" at the gate of the palace is the second to proclaim, and the "Mobai" at the lower steps of the palace is proclaimed. "Do the third announcement, and then the Xiajie, Intermediary, and Shangjie (collectively referred to as the Sanjie) from the Palace Chariot and Horse Square to the Palace Gate make the fourth, fifth, and sixth announcements in turn until the sound reaches the peak. The princes waiting to meet at the palace gate.This is the Six Proclamation Ceremony that has long since disappeared in the Warring States Period. Lord Mengchang belongs to the royal family of Qi, so he has the title of "uncle".It's a pity that mengchangjun's generation of heroes most despise those decadent etiquettes that have passed away, but how do they know the importance of them?It sounds weird and cumbersome to my ears, and I want to maintain the reputation of King Qi Min as a hero in front of Gan Mao, so I have to drag Gan Mao straight in.But Gan Mao is a first-class miscellaneous celebrity in the world, and he knew the mystery as soon as he heard it, so he hurriedly grabbed Mr. Mengchang.After all, Mr. Mengchang was shrewd and clever, and Gan Mao didn't have any strengths to force himself into it, but he felt depressed in his heart. Entering the gate of the palace, Gan Mao tugged at Lord Mengchang again.Lord Mengchang was annoyed, he flicked his sleeves, and entered the hall from the middle gate.Gan Mao sighed, bowed his head and cupped his hands, stepped lightly into the hall from the door on the right, and bowed deeply three times in the hall, but still bowed his head. "Uncle raise your head." There was a deep voice in the hall, which actually resonated with a buzzing sound. Gan Mao then shouted: "Cai Ganmao, see the king of Qi." He raised his head, but was surprised——on the sixth-level king's steps sat a tall and tall emperor with curly temples The big beard fluffed up to the neck and chest, making that big bronze face look like a god.What's even more strange is that there is a naked long sword on the big case in front of him, and the tip of the sword is pointing directly at the mouth of the palace!Gan Mao glanced up, then immediately lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, waiting for the "Son of Heaven" to ask questions. "Uncle and minister, do you know how the king dresses?" The thick voice resonated again. Gan Mao bowed his head and arched the jade pendant with both hands: "This is the emperor's crown, and it is the second class of the emperor's six clothes." King Min of Qi knocked on the two jade tables on the left and right: "What is the standard for the two tables?" "This is an ancient ritual: the gods are set on the right, the person is set on the left, the emperor is supreme, and the left and right are set." King Qi Min sneered coldly: "What's so particular about this king's naked and extroverted long sword?" Gan Mao bowed his head in fear: "The king's heart is like the sea, and he cannot fully know it. Foreign ministers dare not speculate about the pioneering work that has not been reported." King Qi Min suddenly laughed loudly: "You can be like Gan Mao, but you will never know, it's hard for you, just sit down!" Gan Mao was even more frightened: "The minister is ignorant, please ask Wang Yan to teach me." "Okay!" The voice on the king's steps was full of excitement: "This king has made it clear to you: unsheath the long sword and head straight to the west! Remember?" "Foreign ministers are taught." Gan Mao bowed solemnly before walking to the long table opposite Meng Changjun and taking a seat. Meng Changjun frowned, staring at Gan Mao with sharp eyes, showing obvious disgust.Gan Mao, on the other hand, sat upright and calmly with a smile on his face, like a gentleman and guest at a ceremonial banquet.Lord Mengchang finally withdrew his eyes, bowed his hands to King Qi Min and said, "My lord tells my king: I have reported Gan Mao's plan, and I ask Wang Ming to make a decision, and I will be ordered to implement it." King Qi Min slapped the king's case and said with a smile: "Gan Mao knows the past and the present, and there should be no mistakes in planning. In the spring when Qinglong rises, he will send Su Dai as an envoy to Qin." Lord Mengchang said again: "It's my king's decision to decide whether Gan Mao will stay or not." Suddenly, King Qi Min sneered a few times: "A fugitive subject, what else do you want? Let him go." Mr. Mengchang was about to speak, but the old servant in front of the throne loudly announced: "Separate the court—!" Following the words, four maids pushed the big screen embroidered with the axe of the Son of Heaven rumbled over, and King Qi Min, together with The throne suddenly disappeared.Meng Changjun was stunned, he couldn't help getting up angrily, and wanted to rush in to make a theory. "Wait a minute!" Gan Mao grabbed Meng Changjun with a stride, his voice trembling a little.Jun Mengchang glanced at Gan Mao, sighed, and strode away.When he got out of the palace square, Mr. Mengchang dragged Gan Mao to that quiet other residence without any explanation. "Tell me, why are you teasing me again and again? You made a mistake, shouldn't your courtiers be admonishing you?" Mr. Mengchang's face was ashen, and his tone was more severe than ever. But Gan Mao smiled leisurely: "Mengchang Lord don't blame me, Gan Mao is just someone from here." "Come here?" Jun Mengchang laughed teasingly: "Are you a roundworm in King Qi's belly?" Gan Mao sighed: "In your opinion, are King Qi and King Wu of Qin on the same side?" Meng Changjun was startled: "How do you say that?" Gan Mao smiled wryly and said: "I am not talented. I made my fortune in Qin Wuwang, and the foundation was laid when Qin Wuwang was the prince. Yingdang is brave and fierce, and often has absurd actions when he is young. He is quite similar to the current King Qi. Also Gan Mao has a small success in miscellaneous studies, and from time to time he guides Ying Dang with weird knowledge and tricks, which stabilizes Ying Dang's foundation as a prince. Over time, Gan Mao has some speculations about this weird boy born in the deep palace, except Besides, why have him?" "That's true." Jun Mengchang nodded: "Based on your thinking, what is the difference between King Qi and King Wu of Qin?" Gan Mao sighed and said: "King Wu Qin has a strong nature and is extremely martial. He can't commit crimes when he is in a hurry, but he is not hostile. He can reflect on himself when he makes a big mistake. The king of Qi is grotesque and violent. He seeks novelty. , impermanent and unpredictable. Gan Mao entered the palace today because he made a desperate attempt and got lucky." "Success by luck?" Meng Changjun looked at Gan Mao like a monster: "I scolded you for fleeing the country, but you did it?" "Mr. Mengchang, forgive me." Gan Mao smiled lightly, "These monarchs just want to show their unpredictable power and make their subjects subdue, so the wind and thunder are impermanent. Praising my talents before and scolding my actions later is nothing more than making Gan Mao feel It's just fear, but it has no intention of expulsion. If someone speaks at the right time, King Qi will definitely use Gan Mao." Mr. Meng Chang was stunned when he heard it, but it was clear when he thought about it carefully, so he nodded and sighed: "People say that one thing falls one thing , Liu Mu’s horns are really not bad. Such kings are actually only Gan Mao is right.” Gan Mao said with a smile: “This situation is just speculation, how dare you be a roundworm in your stomach?” "It turned out that Tian Wen was rude and offended." Meng Changjun cupped his hands and smiled, but then suddenly whispered, "In this way, I can only accept it?" Gan Mao thought for a while and smiled: "At least, you can't go against the scale when you are in a hurry. For example, there is no reason today. If King Mengchang stepped forward to persuade him to kill and disintegrate the dynasty abruptly, his words would be angry, and the consequences would be unimaginable. King Qin Wu was not so surly, and someone as capable as Zhang Yi would have retreated far away. What's more, King Qi is so surly and violent. Is there him?" After a long silence, Mr. Mengchang sighed up to the sky, bowed deeply to Gan Mao, and threw away his big sleeves. In the early morning of this day, Lord Mengchang received an edict from the royal family: three days later, the autumn hunting parade, the prime minister led hundreds of officials and envoys from all countries to accompany him.Lord Mengchang was unhappy, so he asked Shangqing Su Dai to inform the envoys of various countries stationed in Linzi, and ordered his subordinates to inform the various government offices, but he shut himself up and slept for a whole day.The confidantes were very surprised, knowing that Mr. Mengchang must have encountered unprecedented troubles, so he guarded all the doors and did not allow any officials to visit.For a time, the mansion of Monarch Mengchang, which was crowded with people, was unexpectedly clean for two days. On the last day of Zhongyou, King Qi Min's hunting cavalry accompanied by hundreds of officials and envoys left the Linzi Palace in a mighty way.King Qi Min was wearing a bronze armor, a purple-red cloak, the hardest bow on his back, sixteen good arrows in his quiver, a broad sword at his waist, and a bronze chariot with four horses at his feet. , up and down a ball of golden light, just like a god!After leaving the palace, the people of Linzi came to pay their respects to the King Qinglong of Qi like a tide, and the cheers of "Oriental Qinglong! Overlord of the world!" resounded through the streets.However, King Qi Min was the most patient when facing the fanatical worship of the Chinese people. He walked slowly and raised his long sword to appease the people from time to time.The guard of honor with horses and horses finally poured out of the west gate of Linzi, but it was already noon.Gathering 6,000 cavalry from the towns outside the city of Qi, King Qi Min gave an order, and the cavalry headed straight for the Jishui River Valley in the northwest. Turning over a mountain plateau with pale grass and trees, you can see the vast valley with flags flying, golden drums shaking the sky, people screaming, it's like a battlefield! This section of the river valley is close to the place where Jishui flows into the sea, with undulating mountains, vast sea, verdant trees, and wild reeds and grasses.Every time the autumn grass withers and turns yellow, this is the best hunting ground for nobles in Linzi.However, since King Qi Min came to the throne, this hunting ground has been enclosed as a royal forbidden garden.Whenever hunting, no nobles are allowed to approach unless the edict is written by King Qi himself!Although it was a forbidden area, King Qi Min never came here to hunt.In the second year of his accession, the river valley became a vast military camp.All the newly recruited strong men from the whole country gathered here, a mighty 300,000. Since then, the powerful and powerful training has begun in this mountainous plateau area where water and sky are connected.Six years have passed before King Qi Min came here for the first time. After gazing for a moment, King Qi Min gave a loud order: "Order Tian Zhen to purge the three armies!" Thirty-six conch horns blew, and the purple king's flag on the three-foot-high cloud chariot behind the king's chariot also waved from side to side.In a short time, the sound of horns and gongs was heard in the vast military camp, and the banners of the four fields gathered rapidly towards the central area.At this moment, a cloud of smoke and dust rose up, and a team of horses rushed towards them like lightning!All of a sudden, a group of generals rolled off their saddles and got off their horses. The leader with flying cloaks clasped their hands and reported loudly: "General Tian Zhen leads the barracks with thirty-six generals, see my king!" King Qi Min nodded to Tian Zhen, then waved his hand: "Forbidden troops line up, enter the barracks!" The general of the forbidden army waved the flag, the conch horn blew, and the horseshoes boomed in an instant, and the six thousand forbidden troops formed a marching square behind the royal chariot guard of honor.King Qi Min stomped his feet, and the bronze chariot flew out with a rumble.As soon as Tian Zhen waved his hand, the thirty-six generals flew on their horses and lined up on both sides of the king's chariot to guard and rush forward. On the school military field in the center of the valley, a huge fan-shaped formation has been formed, and the mountains on both sides of the fan-shaped formation are also covered in purple mist.Looking around, the army is boundless and directly connected to the sea, which is unprecedentedly spectacular!Although King Qi Min was ambitious, he had never seen such a magnificent army formation, and he couldn't help admiring loudly: "Good! It's the Qinglong Heavenly Army!" As soon as the words fell, he heard the mountains and tsunami in the vast valley : "Qinglong Heavenly Army—! Invincible—!" When the chariot drove directly to the central general platform built on a small hill, King Qi Min had a bird's-eye view of the valley, only to see that the valley and the plateau with a radius of more than ten miles had changed. It has become a boundless cluster of swords and trees, and the battle flags and armor are shining!Before he knew it, he was suddenly full of courage, and without waiting for Tian Zhen to lead the ceremony, he climbed to the highest place of the general platform and shouted: "Soldiers of the Qinglong Heavenly Army: You wait for the Eastern Sea Divine Soldiers, uphold the power of the sky! You will conquer the world and become me!" Overlord!" There was another wave of mountains and tsunami shaking the sky: "Qingjiao goes out to sea! Qi country dominates!" King Qi Min laughed loudly, and his voice shook the valley like thunder: "Okay! The day when the flood dragon raises its head in the coming spring, it will be the time for you to come out! Who dares to be my soldier, teach him to die without a place to die!" "Qing Jiao goes to sea! Invincible in the world!" Wang Qiangran of Qi Min drew his long sword and pointed it at the sky: "Heaven is above: Qingjiao Fenwei, you and other warriors, each show his ability, high-ranking officials show his lords, this king will not hesitate!" After finishing the words, he suddenly turned around and gave Tian Zhen an order: "Start fighting!" Originally, this army assembly drill was a complicated operation, and its level of detail was no less than that of a big battle. What's more, it was even more difficult than fighting a war to arrange such a dense army of 300,000 troops in a valley.But King Qi Min just wants this kind of momentum of "unprecedented in ancient times, swallowing mountains and seas with anger", so what can he do?For the past few days, Tian Zhen and a group of generals carefully prepared and drilled repeatedly, and they managed to fill every hilltop with soldiers, and there were also extremely strict regulations on the connection of various orders.But in any case, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and King Qi Min improvised bursts of improvisation, which made Tian Zhen at a loss.Originally, drills and contests were two separate battles.The drill comes first, and the changes in the array can be seen.After the martial arts, it can be seen as the soldier's kung fu.At this moment, the king gave orders to fight directly, Tian Zhen was stunned for a while, not knowing how to deal with it.Mr. Meng Chang could see it clearly, and with a gesture of his eyes, Tian Zhen suddenly came to his senses, raised his chest and said: "Hi!" Then he slapped the flag and said, "Cancel the drill, and let's fight!" Rolling the flag of the Commander in Chief of the Chinese Army mounted on a tall wooden frame, twenty-one conch horns rang out, and the sixteen cowhide drums also rumbled rapidly and slowly. The first order issued by the Dazhu Banner was to cancel the drill, and the order issued by the Luo Hao at the same time was to prepare for the battle, but the cowhide drum was to guide the entry and exit positions of the troops.300,000 people gathered densely, it was indeed a boundless sea of ​​people.The original plan was to retreat to the mountain one by one by practicing the formation, leaving the military field of the Central School empty for the martial arts competition. Now that the army has not retreated and the troops to participate in the martial arts competition are in place, it is obvious that there will be conflicts and crowds.Not to mention that practicing formation and fighting are two sets of armor. After the practice, the heavy armor and large shield can be removed to show the martial arts and archery skills that the Qi army is best at.As soon as this moment changed, the Wubu Wu would be busy removing their armor and shields, and the cavalry would be busy replacing their majestic spears with swords for knights, and surrounded by crowds of people, they couldn't find a space settle down.The soldiers were in a hurry, and they shouted and shouted again and again, and then they became chaotic and buzzing. Tian Zhen glanced at Gu Zhong, and knew that something was wrong. Seeing King Qi Min's mouth twitch, his beard curled up into big curls, his legs trembled with cold sweat.At this moment, one of the group of envoys behind the general's platform exclaimed loudly: "We are vying to pay homage to the might of God, and Qi's army is loyal, and they are unparalleled in the world! Do you think so?" A group of envoys responded one after another. : "The envoy of Qin is right. The king of Qi obeys the heart of heaven and obeys the will of the people. He is sincere and respectable!" Tian Zhen's heart suddenly brightened, his spirit was lifted, and he strode to the side of King Qi Min and raised his hands Said: "The army's heart respects the king as a god! I invite my king to stand for a while, and Rong Chen dispatched troops to pass through the general's platform one by one to admire the majesty of my king's god!" King Qi Min suddenly laughed: "Okay! Loyal, The head of virtue! It doesn't matter if this king stands upright and competes against the sun." "My king is god!" Tian Zhen's spirit was shaken suddenly, and he couldn't help saying a eulogy that he was usually ashamed to say. He turned around and issued an order loudly: "Purge the three armies, step first and ride second, pass the general platform one by one, and pay homage to my king's divine power!" !" The Sima of the Chinese army let out a long sigh, and immediately issued an order to the war drum and conch without caring about his profuse sweat, and at the same time rolled the big banner.As the order was issued, order was finally restored in the vast valley, and groups of soldiers began to pay their respects solemnly and mightily.It's just that no one expected that this shouting and looking up at the flowing water went for two full hours, and the valley was still full of troops.Seeing the red sun sinking to the west, King Qi Min became very excited, and simply ordered torches to be held around the general platform to illuminate himself in a red light. The soldiers who flowed in the valley cheered and cheered. He himself was like a huge mountain and a boulder. Stand still.If this is the case, the long river of soldiers and horses will continue to flow until the red sun rises.Even though the last cavalry roared past, this grand ceremony of admiring the divine power did not end until dusk came again. In the twilight, only Sima of the Chinese army screamed: "Not good, imperial doctor!" King Qi Min's face was pale, and he fell down like a bronze statue!
