Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"So that's how it is," Guo Shoujing and Heshen laughed heartily at the same time, "But they were shocked just after entering the palace. Who knows what kind of joke these envoys might make!"

"Our Great Yan has a vast territory and is full of talented people. It is normal for these small countries to look up to us."

He Shen said proudly,
"I am sure that after this ceremony, the barbaric countries will no longer dare to have any bad intentions towards our Great Yan."

"That's right!"

Guo Shoujing smiled, but coughed several times continuously because he was too excited. Heshen bent down and said something like "Your Majesty must take care of your health."

Guo Shoujing waved his hand nonchalantly.
"The imperial physician has already examined it and said that there is no serious problem. Really, Dayan Jiangshan is getting better and better. Alas, it's a pity that I can't be twenty years younger."

After much discussion, the first stop for welcoming the envoys was chosen to be the martial arts training ground.

After all, Dayan is a country that is proficient in both literature and martial arts, and even the most ordinary scholar would want to serve on the battlefield.

It was with the help of its powerful army that Dayan was able to subdue these barbarians one by one.

Moreover, under the powerful military might of Dayan, the envoys from small countries will naturally have psychological pressure, and the national prestige of Dayan can be fully demonstrated.

There were countless small countries that came to pay tribute this time. At first, the envoys were worried that the place would be a bit crowded when the ceremony began, but it turned out that their worries were completely unnecessary.

Even if we count the civil and military officials and guards present, they would still be more than enough to handle several hundred more.

Standing on the land of the Han Dynasty and under the palace of Dayan, the envoys felt deeply their own insignificance.

The people who attended the ceremony, except Guo Shoujing and envoys from various countries, were basically all the pillars of the Great Yan. Although it was to welcome foreign guests, most of the people present were generals with great military achievements.

Chen Qingzhi, Xin Qiji and others were among them. Given Cheng Yaojin's love of joining in the fun, he would naturally not be left out of such good things. These people were all pillars for establishing the Great Yan Empire and even expanding its territory.

Although the scene of all nations coming to pay tribute was rare, they had seen some similar scenes, so except for Cheng Yaojin, most of them behaved relatively properly.

In addition to the "old cadres," the new generation of talents is also very dazzling.

Li Kuan kept his real name secret, but as the chief contributor to the defeat of the Turks and Goguryeo, his reputation had long been known throughout Dayan.

He was dressed in white and only needed to give a slight glance, and those aliens would be frightened out of their wits. Even though he was young, he was enough to scare people to death.

Right now,

No matter whether it was the officials of Dayan or the envoys of other countries, they could not help but glance at him.

When the palace maid saw him, her face turned red with shame and her heart was pounding.

In addition to Li Kuan, the new generals he promoted were also very eye-catching.
Despite their prestige,
There is no Li Kuanda, but who is not a man of both literary and military skills, and has made great military achievements?

Even Chen Qianzhi's people couldn't help but sigh when they saw them, saying that there are always talented people in every generation, and they could not be twenty years younger and look up at the great Yanjiang Mountain.

In addition to military generals, the civil officials who attended the ceremony included the necessary officials from the Ministry of Rites and important figures such as Li Qingzhao and Du Ruhui.

In today's Dayan, in addition to the military generals fighting outside, they are also indispensable in taking care of internal affairs in the rear.

The sun rose higher and higher, shining on people and adding a sense of warmth. Suddenly a sharp voice sounded:
"Your Majesty has arrived."

now,

Li Kuan is about to come on the stage. Although his ascension to the throne is not glorious, future generations may still give him some bad names because of the process of his ascension to the throne.

However, now he is the supreme ruler of Dayan, and now he can also be said to be the common monarch of many small countries.

How could such a person not shock the ministers of small countries and make them tremble in fear?

All the civil and military officials of Dayan bowed down one after another. As for the foreign envoys, those who did not want to kneel could bow their heads to show respect.

You have to know that Da Yan is an open country, and its courage has been admired by the world for thousands of years. Forcing envoys from small countries to kneel is not something Da Yan wants at all.

At this moment, Li Kuan was looking at the grand occasion. There was no doubt that he was an ambitious monarch. Although the break with Li Shimin was an indelible pain for him, it was also the beginning of his ambition.

Back then, Emperor Wen of Sui enjoyed the experience of being recognized as "Khan" by both the Chinese and foreigners, and Emperor Yang of Sui organized something similar to an exposition.

Li Kuan had long ago made up his mind that his achievements must not lag behind theirs, and that his reign must become a famous prosperous period in Chinese history.

Looking at the talented people and the obedient foreign envoys at the foot of the stairs, Li Kuan was suddenly excited.

"Everyone is safe."

To be honest, Li Kuan is no longer young, but his eyes are still as sharp as an eagle. Coupled with the gorgeous clothes of Dayan, those foreign people still dare not look him in the eye.

"Since you are here, you are the people of the Great Tang and are under the protection of the Great Tang. Although there may have been more or less conflicts and misunderstandings between the Great Yan and your country, and we may have even fought against each other."

"Since you are here, please be my Great Yan and forgive me for what happened. Of course, if you still have dissatisfaction in your heart, my Great Yan's cavalry will be waiting for you at any time. You can accept my Great Yan's protection and grace, or insist on being my Great Yan's enemy. Please make your choice."

Civil and military officials shouted "Long live the emperor!" and envoys from small countries also echoed him.

If it were in the past, when Li Kuan said that they were the people of Dayan, they would probably jump up in excitement.

But now Dayan has successively defeated the Turks and Goguryeo, and has been invincible wherever it goes. Some of the envoys present at the scene had even been defeated by Dayan in their countries.

So naturally they should not have any objections, and some envoys were even very excited because of this title.

Li Kuan smiled slightly, and it was obvious that this was the scene he was very happy to see.

Now that he has shown his face and made his presence felt, the next thing to do will be left to Heshen and Guo Shoujing, who are specifically responsible for this matter.

He waved his hand, and then the food was placed on the dragon chair that had been brought in.

"The next thing will be handled by Mr. He."

At this moment, Heshen, now he is standing on the thick Han land, with a powerful country behind him, and he is an official of this powerful country, so he feels extremely honored. Although he is a literati, he is also very heroic in his heart. Heshen has been an official for many years, and with his solid experience, he is still very clear that if he does not show the true strength and power of Da Yan, these small countries may still have other ideas in their hearts.

He Shen waved his flag: "Arm your troops in triumph!"

Although Heshen was a civil official, the literati of Dayan were not a group of corrupt scholars. Most of them were proficient in both civil and military affairs.

In addition, with the support of famous generals such as Chen Qingzhi and Xin Qiji, Heshen only needed to wave the flag. They had already made the details, so it was impossible for the Dayan army to have any accidents.

"A mighty army slowly approached from afar. Even though the distance was far, the aura they exuded was enough to make people tremble with fear."

In terms of numbers, these soldiers are like a black tide; in terms of temperament, they are like a group of lions and tigers. The weapons in their hands also sparkle under the sunlight, emitting a compelling light.

Although not all soldiers were handsome in appearance, they were energetic and imposing.

He clenched his fists, waved his sword, and held a shield in his hands, showing his determination and courage to give everything to defend Da Yan, fight Da Yan, and expand its territory.

When the foreign envoys saw this, they couldn't help but think that these soldiers were like tigers and wolves.

The ranks slowly withdrew, and targets were placed in front one after another.

In a blink of an eye, several Dayan soldiers in the army jumped out.

The foreign envoys estimated that the distance was about a hundred steps. To hit the target, not only did they need tremendous arm strength, but they also required very high archery skills.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh--,"

Arrows flew past like raindrops, carrying with them a sharp sound of wind.

The soldiers who came to watch the show shouted loudly, and many of the soldiers shot the bull's eye out of the ten arrows, and those who didn't have the authentic bull's eye were almost always wrong.
The soldiers shouted angrily, then retreated in an orderly manner.

The envoys from the small countries looked at each other in bewilderment: in their countries, only generals or someone like that could possess such excellent archery skills.

I didn’t expect that Dayan, an ordinary soldier, would have such ability.

Li Kuan saw the situation below and nodded with satisfaction.

However, the real highlight has not yet begun. Chen Qianzhi, who makes Li Kuan very proud, and his trap camp are still behind, and the magical soldiers guarding Dayan have not been shown to these barbarians.

However, Li Kuan began to get a little anxious, but Heshen remained calm and unhurried. It was unclear whether he was teasing him or the envoys from small countries.

In the blink of an eye, the scarecrow had been set up under the martial arts arena. A row of strong soldiers stepped forward and without any deliberate aiming, they just pressed the button lightly, and the arrows flew out like meteors.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Before the envoys from the small countries could even blink, the scarecrows turned into hedgehogs, with countless arrows sticking into their bodies.

The eyes of the Gentiles were suddenly opened.

You have to know that the main function of bows and arrows is range attack. In actual combat, it is not necessary to hit the target every time, but to reduce the enemy's offensive with high density and cause some large-area casualties. This is one of the reasons why the more people there were in a war in ancient times, the more advantages they had.

But there were not many soldiers in the arena, and in just a moment, they were able to fire so many arrows. If they were on the battlefield, what an advantage would that be! The envoys of the small countries talked about it, saying that it must be God's blessing on the Tang Dynasty, so there are such magical weapons in the world.

Next, the highlight, the Eight Ox Crossbow, made its grand debut. As a weapon that should have appeared hundreds of years later, it was effective in siege, killing enemies, and naval battles. It is no exaggeration to say that it represented the highest level of weapons at that time.

Several Dayan soldiers ran forward, and after assembling the Eight-Ox Crossbow, they put the extra-large bow and arrow on it.

The envoys took a closer look and wondered what this strange thing was. The bows and arrows on it were even taller than their heights.

Under the arrangement of the squad leader, thirty or forty soldiers pulled their bows together, and with a "swoosh", the arrows on the Eight Ox Crossbows flew out quickly with the force of breaking through the air. In the blink of an eye, they were out of sight and were still moving forward.

It was incredible, incredible. This time, not only the envoys from small countries, but even some civil officials of Dayan, could not help but marvel at the existence of Dayan's national protective artifacts. After all, they had never been to the battlefield in person, and some of these things were the first time they had seen them.

However, as citizens of Dayan and officials of this great country, they also feel that they have gained a lot of respect due to the strength of the country behind them.

Yuchi Gong, Chen Qianzhi and others were also deeply proud of the scene before them.

At this point in the ceremony, the mighty Dayan warriors, and the magical weapons in their hands to kill the enemies, gave the envoys of these small countries a great psychological shock and visual enjoyment.

While they were impressed by the demeanor of the Tiger and Wolf Division, they also hoped that this part would end quickly. After all, everyone with a discerning eye knew that the Great Flame Sword, Chen Qingzhi, and the trap formation he had wielded had not yet been revealed.

When the envoys came to Yanyun City, in addition to paying tribute and expressing their sincerity, what they most wanted to see was Li Kuan's face and the demeanor of that god of death.

Heshen rolled his eyes and felt that the time had come, so he waved the flag and presented the sword of Dayan to the world.

If Li Kuan's appearance is compared with that of Yuchi Gong and others, it is indeed not in line with the image of a battlefield.

When many people see him, the first word that comes to their mind is "handsome." But the aura he exudes is chilling!

Under everyone's gaze, Li Kuan, wearing a white robe and holding a weapon, walked slowly towards them.

Even though the sun was scorching hot, when the foreign envoys saw him, they still felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave and felt a bone-chilling chill!
Unconsciously, the image of the killing god who led a small number of elite troops to kill Jie Li and defeated Yeon Gaesomun appeared in everyone's mind.

The envoys were all amazed and felt that their trip was not in vain.

"Dongdongdong---,"

The inspiring war drums sounded, and Li Kuan slowly swung the weapon in his hand.

Although these envoys from small countries seemed to have never seen the world, in order to promote the power of the Great Yan Kingdom, Chen Qianzhi would not mind showing them some real things in the future.

Under his methodical command, the Xianzhen Camp quickly assembled and formed a fantastic formation. For a moment, the sound of killing was deafening and dust was flying everywhere.

The members of the Xianzhen Camp followed Li Kuan through life and death, and each of them can be regarded as the elite of Dayan.

If what they saw just now was an army of tigers and wolves, then Li Kuan, his trap camp, and the white-robed army were simply heavenly soldiers and generals sent down to earth.
