Chapter 269 Military Parade
These two reasons are very simple. First, the first thing to do is to eliminate Huang Chao, Zhu Wen’s Bianzhou Fortress. After the battle with Huang Chao, the King of Jin was stationed in Chenzhou. This made Li Jie and Duan Mingyu feel quite frightened. This is the reason why not let others sleep soundly beside the bed.
However, Li Keyong and Zhu Wen are enemies of the worldly enemies on the one hand, because of their geographical location, they are destined to be separated from each other. Because they came out from the mountains of Hedong from a high place, they could reach the city of Bianliang in almost ten days. On the other hand, Zhu Wen and Li Keyong had some unpleasant things. Both sides even slapped the table and cursed.
Duan Mingyu and the Seventh Prince Li Jie spent all his efforts and successfully persuaded King Li Keyong of Jin to send troops, but this was the condition of King Jin, who also led the Black Armor Army to help Li Tang quell the rebellion for several years. The soldiers were quite thinking about the family and the morale of the army began to be unstable. So Li Keyong asked for the battle but succeeded and led the Black Armor Army back to the base. The Seventh Prince gritted his teeth and finally made a decision to admit the matter.
Of course, Duan Mingyu also wanted to send troops personally. Now he has more than 100,000 soldiers and armored soldiers in Chen and Song prefectures. It is considered a strong town. This time, Duan Mingyu still led Fang Wenzhong 70,000 Yingtian Army and Luohou 20,000 cavalry troops to go to the expedition. Chen and Song prefectures each left behind and 10,000 troops to stay in the rear. Duan Mingyu's newly subdued generals Shangrang and Ge Congzhou were respectively guarding a prefecture. Ge Congzhou was in charge of the operation of food and grass in the rear. Because the two of them surrendered Duan Mingyu did not dare to take the two to the expedition and were worried about turning against each other. The two of them were difficult to take action against the old master. Both sides agreed surprisingly. Cheng Zhiyuan was responsible for the operation of food and grass in the rear.
After a few days of rest, Duan Mingyu proposed to hold a military parade before departure to strengthen the power of the troops. The army lined up in front of the city tower and drove out the front line as soon as the plan came out. The seventh prince and the king of Jin applauded. Today is the military parade period and it is also the day when the army is launched.
The rolling black armored army of Hedong Army pressed over from the city floor, causing Li Jie, the seventh prince on the city tower to be dazzled and tens of thousands of soldiers sitting cross-legged in a corner of the exercise venue. With the sound of orders from each battalion, Duan Mingyu, who came to the observation stage in a neat step, glanced across the dark and delicate faces, and his eyes fell on the generals who stood up with their swords and raised their heads and spread their legs. They all paused for a while.
Then he shook his cloak behind him and pointed at the tens of thousands of troops and horses, proudly saying, "Has the army and horses in the world been punished by me?" Tens of thousands of soldiers under his command were stunned and suddenly shouted frantically: "No."
Duan Mingyu laughed and raised his hand to point out: "Since that's the case, let the people of Chenzhou see that there is such a strong army in the world. They will sacrifice their lives to protect their safety. Let them see how much we sacrificed and what we paid... Let them see the pride and glory of today. I want you to remember forever and never forget it."

After the Hedong Black Armor Army, Duan Mingyu's army slowly walked towards the city tower
These soldiers were not as bright as the black armored army, but everyone cleaned themselves up. The armor and helmets were finely polished. However, the enemy's arrows and soldiers left on it were still clear. The battle robe on each person's body had been sewn but was still soaked with bloody marks left by blood battles. These horses were all on the horse's back and waist were straight and controlled with their legs. Even so, their queues were much more neat than the black armored army. The mounts were all quietly raised and fell down. At the same time, this neat rhythm made the originally lively scenes at the city gate gradually quieted down. The only sound of the world was the horse's hooves and footsteps with only one sound for every step.
It suddenly became silent here. Every citizen subconsciously touched his hands and faces and tied his clothes to express respect to the army. This scene of thousands of people's uniform actions seemed to have a hypnotic magic that made everyone only pay tribute to the army. The city gate was still quiet. The scene became two worlds. The soldiers guarding both sides of the road were all stunned. They couldn't help but stand up straight. The yamen runners forgot to scold and didn't need to shout at the top of their lungs. They shouted at the top of their heads and maintained order. They held the same bowed salute.
The cavalry team passed by in sequence. After the white-robed knights holding the spirit position, there were a square formation of knights wearing armor and carrying soldiers. This is Duan Mingyu's personal military camp. There are hundreds of non-commissioned officers. Duan Mingyu called it "Yan Yu Guard". These horses, knights, all have rough faces and firm eyes. The armor is full of traces left after a hundred battles. The flag recognition in front of each battalion is not as complex as the Huanqing Army. The new and dazzling are slightly broken. The blood stains are no longer cleaned. However, they are still proudly floating in front of the queue. Hunting and scrolling guide countless athletes to follow the flag.
After the endless cavalry, hundreds of knights wearing plaids surrounded several commanders with bright armor. It was Duan Ming, Yu, Luo Hou, Fang Wenzhong, and the people of Chenzhou. At this time, the people of Chenzhou saw Duan Mingyu's figure and style for the first time. This noble official in civil and civil servants was still a handsome young man with bright eyebrows. The eyebrows were black. The pupils were also black. The outline on his face was as thin as a knife. His body was slightly thin. The rhinoceros belt was tighter than usual civil officials. It showed that the bee waist looked strong and powerful in the past two years.
He sat on the horse's back as straight and pale as a javelin. His face was pursed, his lips were not looking around. He just rode his horse quietly. No matter how he looked, he was not like a commander who defeated Huang Chao. He was mostly a long-time general. He was the peerless general who pacified the entire Chen Song land. If it weren't for the big flag on his head, no one would dare to say that he was Duan Mingyu.
