Because the incident was so bizarre, many ministers could not believe their eyes. They stood on the city wall and looked at each other, and they all saw the strange look in each other's eyes.

I heard two ministers say in a low voice: "Your eyes are not blind, and mine are not blind. Everyone saw it correctly. That is indeed King Li Yuanji of Qi..."

hiss!

There was a gasping sound.

The dignified third prince was tied with a rope and dragged behind the horse, staggering as he walked.

Some people couldn't help but steal a glance at Li Yuan, and found that the emperor's face was also filled with shock. It was obvious that the emperor was also shocked, as if he had never expected such a scene.

"Hey, that's interesting. In front of His Majesty, His Majesty's son is tied up and dragged away. I'm afraid this Gu Tianya will be in bad luck. He might have to issue an order to punish him in the next moment."

"Tsk, tsk, you're still young. I think I'm relying on Princess Pingyang, and I really treat myself as a person. If I act so perversely, I'm afraid this will offend the entire royal family."

"That's right, that's right. This boy's fate will definitely not be good. He tied up His Highness Prince Qi like this, and it was clearly a slap in the face in front of everyone."

"Shh, don't talk. Look, the Detachment of Women is about to step forward to show its military power."

"Oh, you have to take a closer look. They say the border troops can fight. I don't know if they are bragging..."

…

There were a lot of discussions on the city wall, and the army below the city was surging. However, 20,000 infantrymen were slowly approaching, and they slowly formed an eagle-wing formation looking at each other from head to tail.

Everyone on the wall was a little disdainful and sneered: "They are all infantry. It turns out that these are the so-called border troops. Haha, the rumors should not be believed easily..."

Just now, Tiance Mansion showed its military power and directly dispatched five thousand black armored cavalry. Later, the Prince's Guard showed their military power and also dispatched elite cavalry.

However, now it was the Detachment of Women's turn to step forward, and all they displayed in front of everyone were infantry. The most fearful thing in the world was comparison, and the ministers couldn't help but look down upon it.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, I suddenly saw 20,000 infantry soldiers under the city stopping, and suddenly one foot slammed on the ground, making a loud bang.

I saw 20,000 soldiers raising their heads and shouting at the city wall, roaring: "The Women's Army of the Tang Dynasty."

Although there were only five words, it was like an overwhelming force. Suddenly, 20,000 soldiers drew their swords at the same time, and then stepped forward with the sword in hand.

The steps were neat and uniform, the blades of the swords were also neat and uniform, and a roar came out from the mouth again. Twenty thousand voices were so neat, roaring like thunder: "Mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, we are victorious!"

The world between heaven and earth seemed to suddenly become chilly.

There seemed to be a murderous aura that surged into the sky, and it suddenly filled the air in front of Chang'an City.

The ministers in the city felt a chill running down their spines, and their faces turned pale unconsciously.

After a long time, someone finally spoke with difficulty and said with shock: "A total of 20,000 soldiers, all equipped with horizontal knives."

Another minister next to him had his eyelids twitching and said subconsciously: "And they are all wearing iron armor."

The two looked at each other, took a breath at the same time, and said with a heavy expression: "Border Army..."

At this moment, everyone on the city wall finally understood the meaning of the border army.

The military power of infantry is not weaker than that of cavalry.

When 20,000 horizontal knives were raised, the whole world was enveloped in murderous aura. The scene in front of them gave people the illusion that if these 20,000 warriors attacked the city, they would definitely be able to easily defeat Chang'an City.

Even though there were 40,000 to 50,000 troops in the city, everyone was worried that they would not be able to defend the city wall.

The murderous intent and bravery of the frontier troops completely overshadowed those of Tiance Mansion and the Prince's Guards.

…

"Hahaha, okay!"

Hearing Li Yuan burst out laughing, he suddenly leaned close to the crenellations of the city wall. The emperor looked down from a high position, looked at the 20,000 soldiers, and sincerely praised: "You are the tiger of the Tang Dynasty."

He paused for a moment and then suddenly said: "I am very happy and want to give you the title of Hu Mighty Army. But I don't know if you soldiers are willing or not, and whether you want to become the guards of the capital."

The officials from the aristocratic families present were startled at first, and then their hearts trembled. Wang Si almost blurted out, and stopped him without thinking, saying hurriedly: "Your Majesty, no. Chang'an already has eight guards, there is no need to add another Huwei Army.

"

It's a pity that Li Yuanli ignored it and just said calmly: "I haven't slept well these days. I always feel that Chang'an city is not stable enough, so I want to add an army to avoid being full of outsiders."

These words have profound meaning, and there is a vague feeling of betrayal.

The aristocratic family present were shocked, and Wang Si couldn't help but explain: "Why did your Majesty say this? Prince Wei is very loyal..."

"Haha, I didn't say they had any objections. Why is Wang Zhongyun so nervous? It actually gave me the illusion that I was hiding something."

"Your Majesty, these are your honest words."

"Haha, I just want to have a good sleep."

"Your Majesty..." Wang Si wanted to say more, but suddenly he felt someone pulling him gently. The old man turned his head in surprise and found that it was Cui Gong, the patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe.

But after seeing Cui Gong holding him, he immediately raised his hand to Li Yuan and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the king of a country and the head of a country in Chang'an, really needs more troops and horses to ensure the stability of the capital."

Some things should not be done too obviously, otherwise it will be known to passers-by and it will easily arouse vigilance.

There was a bang in Wang Si's mind, and he instantly understood Cui Gong's intention. The old man calmed down in an instant, and also bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty wants to add a guard, it is natural."

Li Yuan took a deep look at the two of them and asked with a smile: "Are you not opposed?"

Wang Si shook his head solemnly and said righteously: "How can you object to the matter of loyalty to the emperor?"

Li Yuan smiled leisurely, seemingly sarcastically. However, the emperor was profound and would not do anything despicable like exposing someone in the face.

…

Everyone saw that the emperor turned to look at the city again, looking at the 20,000 women's army warriors in the distance, and said: "The mighty tiger will stand against a thousand oxen. If you are willing to accept the title, you will become the iron guard stationed in Chang'an in the future.

The left guard is the Qianniu Guard, and the right guard is your mighty army."

These words were spoken slowly, and they were a reward from an emperor. Although it was clearly intended to be a consultation, why did the emperor need any consultation when he was talking about the Tianxian?

As long as you say it, it's basically a foregone conclusion.

The so-called consultation is just symbolic...

Unexpectedly, the 20,000 soldiers under the city were silent, and not a single soldier responded.

Stand still and keep your mouth shut.

Do not move.

Did not say.

Like 20,000 sculptures, they stood upright.

Li Yuan was obviously startled, and then burst into laughter. However, seeing that the emperor seemed to be greatly relieved, he couldn't help but slap the city wall with his palms, and praised: "A truly loyal army, but I was a little negligent."

He suddenly turned his eyes slightly, looked at Gu Tianya on the horse from a distance, and asked with a smile: "Third son's husband, tell them."

Just this sentence shocked everyone in the audience.

Countless ministers looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes. Some people spoke subconsciously and whispered: "In such a solemn and solemn scene, I didn't expect that Your Majesty would use such a tone..."

There is no imperial majesty at all.

Instead, he used the tone of address that an elder would address a junior.

The sound of "the third son's husband" was clearly the father-in-law talking to his son-in-law.

Li Yuan laughed and asked again: "Why don't you want to talk to the third son's husband? Are you reluctant to give up the 20,000 soldiers and don't want them to become my mighty army?"

Gu Tianya suddenly turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, raised his hands in salute, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the title."

Boom.

Twenty thousand soldiers knelt down on one knee, then spoke loudly, and shouted together: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the title."

They only agreed after the general agreed.

All the officials felt chills running down their spines and subconsciously looked at Gu Tianya who was below the city.

At this moment, no one dared to underestimate him.

Just because of the scene just now, everyone knew what it meant.

That's called military power.

…

Vaguely, everyone had the illusion that Emperor Li Yuan did this on purpose. He deliberately wanted to show Gu Tianya's military power in front of everyone.

I just don’t know what the purpose is?

But I know there must be a deeper meaning...
