Chapter 240 Welcome to the gate of the city
Shengtian City is the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. There are nine city gates in a circle around the city, which are majestic and majestic. Among them, there are five main city gates, which are unusually tall, symbolizing that this city is a place of great honor.
The main city gate in the south is Deshengmen. At this time, flags were fluttering at the entrance of Deshengmen and there were crowds of people. It was a rare lively scene in winter.
The old lady Fu Yuwen Hongru stood in the first place with his hands behind his back. Half a step behind was the six ministers in red robes. Behind them were dozens of distinguished and high-ranking court ministers. It can be said that all the powerful and powerful people were there.
Hundreds of musicians from the music studios are lined up at the foot of the city. Bronze drums, harps and other ceremonial instruments are all ready. They will play music for the triumphant army and add a sense of joy to the imperial capital.
A broad official road winds out from the city gate, with no end in sight at a glance.
Along both sides of the official road were two thousand Imperial Guard cavalry, all wearing red clothes and red armor. Everyone looked proud, and the pride in their eyes could be seen at a glance. Since those who could join the Imperial Guard were all strong and victorious soldiers, for
The approaching Liang army naturally intends to compete.
There were dense crowds of people above the capital city and far away from the official roads, all craning their necks to see what the world-famous Liangzhou Army looked like.
Although it is winter, the warm sun hangs in the vast blue sky above our heads today, making these senior officials dressed in fur clothes feel a little bit hot.
It stands to reason that Chenyue's official rank was only the third rank of Liangzhou General, but at most he had the title of General Annan. It seemed a bit grand for a group of ministers to come out to greet him.
But after all, without the bloody battle of the Liangzhou Army, no one knows how this war would develop. It is not an exaggeration to say that Chenyue saved the country from difficulties. Unexpectedly, even the Nangong family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, was defeated at the hands of King Fu.
.
In addition, several ministers wanted to win over him, so a group of important ministers were present today, unwilling to talk about etiquette.
Just as everyone was waiting eagerly, there was a slight sound of horse hoofbeats, and a large black spot appeared from the official road in the distance, and everyone immediately turned their attention to it.
The Imperial Guard soldiers on both sides of the official road also involuntarily puffed up their chests, became more energetic, and used a little more force in their hands holding their spears.
The black armored cavalry were getting closer and closer, and the sound of horse hooves began to roar. The rhythm was uniform and orderly, like thunder, and the sound was heard in the hearts of a group of forbidden troops. There were also several dust-shaped military flags whistling in the wind.
, so impressive.
Chen Yue looked at the Imperial Guards on both sides of the road ahead and seemed to understand something. Do you want to compare?
Chenyue raised the corner of his mouth and raised his hand.
Xiao Shangwen behind him shouted angrily: "Stop!"
"Ouch!"
The five hundred soldiers roared at the same time, and the horses' hooves that were stepping forward suddenly slowed down and began to march slowly along the official road.
The huge roar spread far away, and the horses of the imperial army that were getting closer seemed to be frightened. The horses' hooves stomped a few steps, and the team seemed a little scattered.
The people watching behind the imperial army had a hint of surprise in their eyes, and they were obviously calmed down by this simple roar.
Yu Wen Hongru and other ministers who were far away also heard this roar and saw that the cavalry column went from traveling at a high speed to suddenly decelerating in one go, and the team was still in order.
Yu Wen Hongru's cloudy eyes trembled slightly, and the ministers in the crowd couldn't help but smacked their lips. The straightforward Xue Chengyi even muttered: "Not bad, really good."
The black-armored cavalry slowly passed through the official road, and a dramatic scene appeared.
The horses in Liangzhou are all carefully bred at the northern horse farms. They have been galloping on the grassland since they were young. They have been sharpened for a long time and are raised with high-quality materials. The horses' backs are much higher than those of the war horses raised by these horse farms in the suburbs of Beijing.
One head.
At a glance, the Imperial Guards on both sides were shorter than the Liangzhou Cavalry Army. The Imperial Guards, who were so majestic in the past, looked petite and weak at this moment.
The eyes of the Liangzhou soldiers were indifferent, with no expression on their faces. His eyes glanced at the imperial troops on both sides intentionally or unintentionally, which made people feel chilly under the warm sun.
Chenyue's pro-army defeated Nangong, destroyed Tengjia, and fought against Xiangping. They entered and exited the battle formation as a routine matter. Each and every one of them crawled out from the pile of dead. Their aura emerged, and the imperial troops on both sides suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
The five hundred cavalry waiting finally passed through the ranks of the Forbidden Army. There were bursts of sighs of relief from both sides of the official road. The leading Forbidden Army cavalry general also breathed a sigh of relief, and the hands holding the reins were already covered with sweat.
Chen Yue, who dismounted and walked, led several generals to the front of a group of ministers. Before Chen Yue could speak, a hearty laughter rang out in the crowd: "General Chen, it's better to be famous than to meet, and to meet is worse than to be famous. Ah, the Liangzhou army is so brave, they are indeed a model for the frontier army!"
Chen Yue's eyes turned to the old man who was the first to speak. His old skin and rickety figure made Chen Yue, who had experienced many battles, feel wary in his heart.
Without thinking, Chen Yue knew that this person was the Grand Tutor Yu Wen Hongru. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "General Chen Yue of Liangzhou has met the Grand Tutor, and the Grand Tutor has praised you!"
"Haha, the general is so humble." Yu Wen Hongru still had a smiling face: "The weather is very cold and your majesty is young, so I specially ordered me to bring all the ministers to welcome General Chen's triumphant return and cleanse the Liangzhou army."
Chenyue's expression turned serious, and he said seriously: "Thank you, Your Majesty Hongde, thank you all for your help!"
Yu Wen Hongru turned slightly sideways and said: "General Chen comes to Beijing for the first time. Let's get to know all the ministers first."
Shangguan Taiqing, who was beside him, took half a step forward first and said with a loud smile: "General Chen fought for the country to quell the rebellion. He has made outstanding military achievements and deserves to receive this courtesy."
"This is the new Minister of Industry, Lord Shangguan of Runan." Yuwen Hongru introduced from the side.
"I've met Lord Shangguan!" Chenyue returned the salute with his hand, while unconsciously looking at the uncle twice. This middle-aged man looked much more stable than Shangguan Tailei, who was the governor of the East China Sea.
"General Chen, I didn't expect you to be so young. Heroes come from young." Zhao Zhonghai took over the conversation and said with a smile: "My brother at the front has been sending letters, and he praises General Chen's leadership in arranging troops.
You must be honest, the Liangzhou Army is also one of my most elite soldiers."
Chenyue guessed who he was as soon as he heard this, and said with a smile: "Master Zhao is joking, General Zhao is also fighting bravely on the front line, and the Yangzhou army is also a capable soldier!"
When Zhao Zhonghai heard that Chen Yue was so polite and had a good attitude towards the Zhao family, he burst out laughing and his face was red. After all, his younger brother would soon be an official in Beijing, and the power of the Zhao family would be even greater.
Go up one floor.
Chenyue looked at a middle-aged man who was taciturn among the crowd. His appearance was very similar to Xue Leihan. At a glance, he knew it was Xue Chengyi, the Minister of Punishment.
