On November 20th, Xia Bolong arrived in Yizhou City with 30,000 troops. Zhang Jun, the lord of Yizhou City and the commander of the Second Legion, went out of the city ten miles to welcome Xia Bolong's army into Yizhou City.
After experiencing the wind and snow along the way, the soldiers felt warmer as soon as they entered Yizhou City. The barracks were all heated. In the northwest corner of the city, there was also a boiler room dedicated to burning coal, which provided supplies to the people in the city. A hot place. In the past few years, the Dragon Empire has undergone complete changes. The original Uighurs voluntarily gave up their nomadic lifestyle and turned to farming and business. In the years when the Dragon Emperor was in its prime, caravans from various countries could often be seen coming and going. among the various cities within the empire.
In the city lord's palace in Yizhou City, Xia Bolong had a different feeling in his heart when he saw Zhang Jun. He and Zhang Jun had not seen each other for many years, but now that they met, Zhang Jun became more and more heroic. In the city lord's palace, Xia Bolong shunned the outsiders, leaving only Zhang Jun and Liu Chengzong as his companions. The three of them picked up the wine, clinked glasses with each other, and drank happily.
After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Jun said first: "Your Majesty, this time to support Xixia, can you take me with you? I have been stationed in Yizhou for many years. Whenever there is a war, Your Majesty keeps me here to station. As time goes by, I am afraid that I will forget how to do it." There¡¯s a war. Test text watermark 1.¡±
Xia Bolong chuckled and said: "If you hadn't been stationed here in the past few years, the Dragon Empire would not have been so prosperous. Although you did not go to the battlefield, the task was more arduous than the battlefield. Yizhou is our Dragon Empire At the east gate of our country, you guarded the gateway to the empire and captured spies. These deeds are all vivid in my mind. Even though I wanted to transfer you to the battlefield, I have never found a suitable candidate, so I can only temporarily aggrieve you. "
"I will fight to the death to serve Your Majesty. However, this time His Majesty led the army to support Xixia. I thought that I could lead the second legion to be His Majesty's forward and pave the way for His Majesty to open mountains. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to give me this opportunity?" "Zhang Jun said.
Xia Bolong smiled and said: "Even if you don't say it, I will take you there this time. This time it is not only as simple as supporting Xixia, but also to stay in Xixia for a long time. Test text watermark 1. In the past few years, our Dragon Empire has We have always been in a state of harmony with Xixia. There are frequent caravans and there are countless things we trade. When I think of the situation when the Xixia people chased us, I feel that there is no hatred that cannot be resolved. What's more, Li Liangfu is a real man. If If he had not guarded the northwest and had not been ruthless when our empire was first established, our Dragon Empire would never have developed into a Central Asian power like it is now."
"Your Majesty, do you mean to station in Xixia?" Zhang Jun asked.
"Yes, regardless of whether the Jin soldiers retreat or not, we have to station our troops in Xixia, and we can prepare for the conquest of Xixia in the future. Today's Xixia is different from the Xixia a few years ago. I heard that the Xixia soldiers In the battle with the Jin soldiers, one hundred thousand Xixia soldiers were killed by the Jin soldiers, right?" Xia Bolong asked.
Zhang Jun nodded and said: "That's what happened. Today, the entire Xixia country has less than 150,000 troops. All 130,000 people have been sent to the front line to resist the Jin soldiers. The guards in other places, As many as a thousand people, as few as dozens of people, it can be said that they are already facing the danger of destruction. Test text watermark 5. Otherwise, how could the Emperor of Xixia, Li Qianshun, be willing to submit to our Dragon Empire and beg His Majesty to send troops to help? "
"Well, it's a shame. Our country and Xixia are closely related to each other. Once Xixia is captured by the Jin soldiers, then our Dragon Empire will become the next target of the Jin soldiers. This time I brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, plus your second legion. "There are a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou City to support Xixia. I am going to bring 40,000 soldiers and horses and give you 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard to go to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia, to support." Xia Bolong said.
With joy on his face, Zhang Jun hurriedly stood up, walked out of his seat, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xia Bolong: "I will live up to your majesty's trust!"
"Look at you, why are you so excited?" Xia Bolong hurriedly helped Zhang Jun up, "Now there are only three of you, me and Liu Chengzong here. We are all brothers, why do you need to give such a big gift?"
After looking at it, Liu Chengzong smiled and said, "I think you have been in Yizhou City for too long. I remember that you have never left here since you occupied Yizhou, right?"
Zhang Jun replied: "I left once. I went to Gaochang once when His Majesty proclaimed himself emperor. At other times, such as the May Festival and the Ninth Festival, I sent people to attend. Test text watermark 9."
Xia Bolong said: "This time I can let you make a long journey and let you stay in Xixia for a long time. Ifif the Emperor of Xixia, Li Qianshun, does not agree, then he will simply launch a mutiny, capture Xingqing Mansion in one fell swoop, and incorporate Xixia With the territory of our Dragon Empire, we will truly dominate the Western Region."
"Your Majesty's ambition"??¡±
Li Liangfu hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, who did you listen to? The golden soldiers are still those people, there are no reinforcements. Your Majesty, the Dragon Emperor's army is coming. With the Dragon Emperor's foreign aid, we will definitely be able to defeat those golden dogs. .¡±
Li Qianshun said: "I hope so. I know that you and the Dragon Emperor are very friendly, otherwise, he would not send troops to support our Daxia. Liangfu, if the Dragon Emperor is really like what Brother Cha said, , are here to seize our Great Xia, when the time comes, where will you go?"
Li Liangfu heard something in Li Qianshun's words, and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and said: "Your Majesty is aware that Li Liangfu is loyal to Daxia and will never dare to have any second thoughts. Test text watermark 5. If the Dragon Empire is really true There are plans to annex our Great Xia, I am willing to die with the Dragon Emperor!"
Li Qianshun said: "Get up, I'm just asking casually."
Seeing that his brother was under suspicion, Li Liangsi felt a little worried for him. Just when he was worried that he could not escape, he saw a horse galloping into his sight from a distance. He hurriedly pointed to the horse in the distance and the rider. The knight on the horse said: "Your Majesty, look, it seems to be the army of the Dragon Empire!"
After the voice fell, Li Qianshun looked intently, and sure enough he saw cavalrymen in red military uniforms forming a neat formation, slowly heading towards him. He looked happy and said hurriedly: "It seems that Zhang Jun did not lie. The Dragon Emperor really came with his army. Pass the order and ask the honor guard to line up to welcome him and play drums and drums!"
Xixia and the Song Dynasty are adjacent and are deeply influenced by Han culture. The national honor guard and national band used are basically imitations of the Song Dynasty. Because they cannot play such majestic and solemn music, all the drum corps are Han Chinese Serving as an official.
First, the horns sounded, the salutes rumbled, and then the drums sounded, and the solemn and solemn royal music was played by the palace musicians, which spread far and wide in the open fields.
In the red cavalry team in the distance, Xia Bolong's golden helmet and golden armor walked majestically at the front of the team, followed by Liu Chengzong. When he saw the Xixia people setting up a welcoming formation, the look on his face He seemed very happy.
"It's finally here. We have traveled a long distance and gone through a lot of hardships, and finally arrived at Xingqing Mansion." Xia Bolong said.
Liu Chengzong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that the one who came to welcome us is the Emperor of Xixia, Li Qianshun."
Xia Bolong said "Oh" and looked forward carefully. He saw a man wearing a golden helmet, and his old friend Li Liangfu was standing behind the man, so he guessed that the man must be Li Qianshun.
"Oh, what a grand welcome team. Behind Li Qianshun are all civil and military officials, and there is also a guard of honor. This formation is more grand than when I first ascended the throne. This royal music is also something we don't have there. Wait for it in the future , I must start a band!" Xia Bolong said to himself after reading it.
Not long after, Xia Bolong galloped forward with Liu Chengzong, came to Li Qianshun, and got off his horse.
When Li Liangfu saw Xia Bolong coming, he stepped forward, stood between Li Qianshun and Xia Bolong, and introduced: "Your Majesty, this is the emperor of the Dragon Empire."
Li Qianshun took a look at Xia Bolong and saw that his appearance was not that amazing. He was just a head taller than him, so he held up his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Dragon Emperor, I am Li Qianshun, Emperor of Xixia. I have been waiting here for your Majesty for a long time."
