In addition, twelve forbidden troops, including the left and right Yi guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right Tun guards, the left and right Wuhou, the left and right Wu guards, the left and right imperial guards, etc., also accompanied them.

All in all, during this expedition, a total of 1,138,000 troops were gathered from across the country, including imperial troops, government troops, border troops, and county troops.

"Brother Gao, Brother Sun, don't worry. I have already made arrangements. In a few days, the news will come back."

Gao Gao and Sun Xuanya were very grateful to Qin Hu, but they didn't know what to say.

It's just that my heart is still hanging on, and I haven't slept all night, so I didn't say anything more and went to order some snacks.

Since the morning, the entire military camp has been busy and boiling.

There are a lot of preparations that need to be done to welcome the Holy Emperor. In fact, the people have been working hard these days, cleaning all the places, and the red carpet has been rushed out for 50 miles.

In addition, the soldiers polished their armor and maintained their weapons and equipment neatly.

Twenty thousand soldiers were not given food when they got up in the morning. They took turns going to the toilet, emptying their stomachs, and lined up neatly on the north bank of the Liao River, waiting for the arrival of the holy driver.

Li Qin personally led the generals above the thousand captain level and 5,000 cavalry into five square formations in front.

Behind him are five other infantry phalanxes, each with 500 spearmen and 500 swordsmen.

The soldiers had bright armor and high morale, with hundreds of military flags flying fiercely above their heads.

At noon, the flag of the Xiaoguo Army indeed appeared on the south bank of the Liao River. Their military appearance was in full glory, their battle flags were fierce, and they were followed by a grand drumming troupe, and they began to cross the river amid music, music, and dance.

The colorful flags were flying, the gongs and drums were beating loudly, and the scene was as spectacular as the beginning of the world.

Li Qin's large group of people did not move, but knelt down and waited. All of them buried their heads in the ground and did not even have the courage to look up.

After the Xiaoguo Army, there were thousands of beautiful palace maids. They were dressed in silk silk and wore exquisite jewelry on their heads. Each one of them looked like a fairy.

Later, everyone discovered that the emperor actually crossed the Liao River on horseback.

Behind the emperor, there were several huge luxury carriages.

A large flag was flying on one of the carriages, which read: Princess Chang'an!

Others didn't dare to look up, but Qin Hu dared to look because he had seen the emperor often since he was a child, and he didn't think there was anything too sacred.

But when he saw Princess Chang'an's flag, he instinctively felt a little cold in his heart.

This princess can be said to be his biggest enemy, and it was because of herself that she ended up in this situation.

She was supposed to be enjoying herself in Beijing, so how could she come to the front line?

Yes, in order to show off his majesty, the current emperor brought many of his relatives, including his countless concubines, as well as envoys from many countries, even Tuque Khan, Tuyuhun Khan, and the King of Ryukyu.

All the kings of the Western Regions are in this ranks.

He just wanted everyone to witness his great achievements and prove that due to the power of Yu Dynasty, Liaodong Kingdom surrendered.

He wanted to use the method of promoting the great national power to put pressure on Liaodong and all other countries, so that they would all surrender to the Yu Dynasty without a fight and respect him as a man of heaven.

Qin Hu knelt in the front row because he was a vanguard.

He saw the emperor jumping off his horse in the midst of a grand dance and music scene, with sharp movements and vigorous skills.

He knew that the current emperor had always been extremely intelligent, well-equipped in civil and military affairs, and had extraordinary appearance. When he was young, he led troops to pacify Jiangnan and brought back two beauties from Jiangnan, Zhang Lihua and Chen Xuanhua.

Because Zhang Lihua looked too coquettish, the old prince said that her beauty was a disaster and had her executed. The current emperor has always held a grudge against her.

But until his father died of illness, the emperor never took revenge.

As a princess of the Southern Dynasties, Chen Lihua had always been the concubine of the old emperor, but the new emperor could not forget her beauty. After the old emperor died, he immediately turned Chen Lihua into his concubine.

She is here too.

While deep in thought, the emperor began to shake hands with the generals on the front line one by one.

Everyone present, starting from Li Qin to the captain, the emperor could accurately call out their names and tell their deeds and achievements.

Many people were moved to tears.

"Li Qin, I know in my heart that you have been working hard on your errands over the years." The emperor was talking to Li Qin while inspecting the three armies.

"I asked you to be the Governor of the Forward Army. This is a heavy responsibility, but you have lived up to my expectations. From now on, you must work harder and be more careful."

Li Qin followed the emperor in small steps, and then said in his generous tone: "I am willing to go through fire and water, never let down the emperor, never let down Yu, report to the country, and report to the king and father."

Emperor Tianming nodded and said with his hands behind his back: "I have just met all the captains, as well as the centurions, scouts, and vanguards. They are all trapped in the battle. Let them come out. I will give you wine to encourage them."

Li Qin hurriedly led all the generals to kneel on the ground. Even the generals of the Imperial Army, the ministers of the imperial court, and the maids and concubines also knelt down and shouted, "Long live the mountain."

"The emperor's grace is great, and he is the king of Yao and Shun. His benevolence extends to the grass and trees. He loves his soldiers as if they are his beloved sons, and his humble ministers shed tears of gratitude."

"Everyone, please get back on your feet."

A satisfied smile appeared on Emperor Tianming's lips, and he said loudly: "I am conquering Liaodong this time because I don't want to see the people of Liaodong who don't know the royal way, lack education, and live in poverty. I can't bear it. Everyone must know that I love the people.

With a strong heart, we strive to move forward.”

Li Qin had already taken over the roster from Yang Shanhui and called out the centurions and vanguard one by one.

"Gaoda, Sun Xuanya, Yang Sen...Qin Hu..."

Emperor Tianming still shook hands with the centurions one by one, and he could also tell their deeds, which showed that he must have done a lot of homework on the way here, but when it was Qin Hu's turn, the emperor clasped his hands behind his back and sighed.

"Qin Hu, I asked you to serve in the army. You don't hate me in your heart, do you?"

Qin Hu hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, who is Wei Chen? Wei Chen made a big mistake. Instead of killing Wei Chen, the Emperor asked me to commit my crime and perform meritorious service. There is no greater kindness in the world than this."

Well."

"It is precisely because of the Emperor's grace that is as high as the sky and as deep as the sea, I have never been afraid of death in battle, because my life was given by the Emperor, and I should have used this life to repay the Emperor."

Qin Hu knew that what Emperor Tianming wanted most was flattery, so he cried louder and louder, and even lay on the ground and vomited.

"This person, this person, this person is what I grew up watching. This person is very good. Let him come to the Xiaoguo Army and let him follow me..."

But at this moment, suddenly a voice came from behind the emperor: "Your Majesty, think twice. I think this move is inappropriate. Qin Hu has committed a heinous crime. Even if he has done some small deeds, it is not enough to atone for his sin. I think this is inappropriate."

, he should be beheaded immediately and sacrificed to the flag to deter the three armies and serve as a warning to others."

Princess Chang'an finally took action.
