"It's Your Majesty. Your Majesty has left the palace in person!"
A sharp-eyed man saw His Majesty the Emperor in full body armor from a distance. The golden dragon armor was not only windy but also heavy. Only the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was qualified to wear it. However, His Majesty the Emperor actually traveled in armor.
Instead of taking the bus as usual, that means people's previous speculations are true.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty is about to conquer the country in person.
"Xiaoxiao in the north is provoking the imperial power; thousands of miles of beacon smoke, the soldiers are using their lives; the life and death of the country are on our shoulders!" Li Ping, who led the cavalry to open the way, shouted loudly, "Today the emperor of the Han Dynasty personally went on an expedition to defeat Xiaoxiao, pacify the north, and regain China.
In my homeland, the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty will be reopened, and the people along the way will kneel down to receive the holy driver!"
"People along the way, kneel down to receive the Holy Driver!"
At this time, the news that had been circulating in the streets and alleys of Jiankang Prefecture for several days was finally confirmed. The emperor was leaving Jiankang Prefecture to personally participate in the Northern Expedition. For the people of the Han Dynasty, this was definitely a surprise.
Exciting news.
In just a few years, everyone has not forgotten the reputation of His Majesty the Emperor who was victorious in all battles. The things that Jiankang Mansion boasted about are still in the minds of most old people in Jiankang Mansion. Although the emperor back then was more powerful than he is now.
Although he is young, he has already shown the attitude of a hero dominating one side. And even if the current emperor has not participated in the war for several years, people can still feel the chill in his body when he rides by.
spirit.
This is the momentum of fighting for the rest of your life.
And the same momentum can be seen in almost every Han soldier who passed by Yu Street.
The Imperial Guards of the Han Dynasty were, after all, the top elite of the Han Dynasty.
And with an army like this protecting our country, what else do we have to be afraid of?
"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"
"Long live the great man, long live the great man!"
The people worshiped Shan Hu.
Li Xingchen, on the other hand, rode his horse with his head held high. This was the blessing he should enjoy.
After all, only a small group of people were qualified to accompany His Majesty from Da Sima Gate to the south of the city through Imperial Street. Most of the other soldiers had already assembled at the south of the city.
After all, Li Xingchen is going on an expedition, not a military parade. Speaking of military parades, he is still more interested in having a military parade in Yecheng then. So now it is impossible for him to lead a large group of people to pass through the city from Jiankang Prefecture, tens of thousands of people.
If the Imperial Guards have to spread out their formation and pass through Tianjie, I don't know how long it will take.
So when Li Xingchen arrived at the school grounds, the Imperial Guards had already formed their formation.
The square formations stretched from the front of the general stage to the distance. The huge campus was filled with people, but there was no sense of crowding at all. Perhaps it was because the soldiers were standing so neatly that it didn’t make people feel that they were there.
This land will be extremely crowded because there is no room for them. All people can see is the black military formation, with a chilling air, ready to rush to the battlefield at any time.
"Soldiers!" Li Xingchen's voice was loud, but after all, there was no microphone, so only the people in the front row could be heard. However, there were huge echo walls on both sides of the general stage, and every word Li Xingchen said would be heard.
Someone recited it to the echo wall, and then let the echo spread throughout the school, "The Han Dynasty has launched an all-out war with the Zhou people. As the Imperial Guard, your main responsibility is to protect me. Perhaps you feel that you have no chance to participate in this national game."
battle, or maybe regret that you can’t make any achievements, but now, I will lead you northward, and you will make the northern expedition under my banner!”
There is no need for any cause or effect, nor is there any need for coercion or inducement.
When the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were in the army, they already knew why they ate the food they had and why they sweated every day.
They were waiting patiently for this day.
And now, that day has arrived.
"Long live!" The mountain roared, like a stormy wave crashing on the shore.
It's extremely neat, because this is what they want.
Li Xingchen took a deep breath: "Do you dare to follow me in the Northern Expedition?!"
"Swear to the death to follow His Majesty, Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition!"
Countless soldiers raised their swords at the same time.
Under the sun, the bright swords reflected the faces that may still be a little immature.
Every pair of eyes reveals an absolutely determined look.
It is the honor of their lifetime for the Imperial Guard, the most elite army of the Han Dynasty, to follow His Majesty the Emperor and fight under the dragon flag.
People in troubled times originally had no sense of national belonging and identity. Now Li Xingchen has given them this sense of belonging, allowing them to understand that their roots are in the land beneath their feet, and that before they understand their names, there is a nation.
We are all Han people, so we must take back the country of the Han people, wash away the shame of three hundred years of partial peace, and let the huge empire of the Han Dynasty be reborn in this Yanhuang homeland!
Li Xingchen suddenly drew out his sword and pointed it straight to the north: "Northern Expedition!"
This voice echoed not only on the school grounds in the south of the city, but also on the banks of the Qinhuai River, under the vast Zhongshan Mountain, and in the hearts of everyone in Jiankang Mansion.
Three hundred years later, after Zu Ti Zhongliu attacked Ji, after Huan Wen entered Guanzhong, after Liu Yu cleared Heluo, and after Chen Qingzhi's seven thousand white robes swept across the north, someone else shouted out these two shocking words.
.
During the Northern Expedition, the common people of the Han Dynasty at this time were no longer the common people of any dynasty in the past three hundred years. They had a sense of belonging and identification with this new dynasty. The Northern Expedition was no longer a matter of "nothing to do with themselves, just hang on high."
It is everyone's expectation. Everyone is looking forward to peace and unity, and everyone is looking forward to completely calming down the troubled times that have been turbulent for three hundred years.
Enough is enough, it's time.
At this time, the Han army was no longer the army of any dynasty in the past three hundred years. They had a sense of responsibility and honor belonging to soldiers. They were willing to protect the land under their feet and to compete with those famous ministers in history.
The names of generals and ministers will go down in history and fight in bloody battles. They are willing to follow the red flag flying in front and the generals who charge forward, and use struggle and sacrifice to interpret their understanding of loyalty and passion.
After training for so long, it’s time.
Even the officials of the Han Dynasty at this time, officials from all over the world, have reached an unprecedented consensus on this matter. They are still young. They do not want to wait or just settle down like this. They are more inclined to become
The founder of a unified dynasty.
Heaven cannot tolerate two masters, so naturally there cannot be two sets of lists of founding heroes.
What we have to do is to defeat those people and create a unified dynasty like the Qin and Han Dynasties before.
From the emperor to the officials, from the soldiers to the common people.
Either because of beliefs and ideas, or because of interests and fame, the Han people are united like never before.
Towards the north, no one is afraid.
On the fifth day of April in the fourth year of the New Year of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Li Xingchen of the Han Dynasty swore an oath to go to war in Jiankang Prefecture.
On that day, the streets of Jiankang Prefecture were crowded with thousands of people, and above the river, the sky and the sun were covered with gourds and oars.
