On this day, the majestic city of Kyoto woke up much earlier than usual.
Only in the early morning, the first ray of sunlight has just set.
Countless people followed suit, and many even stayed awake all night.
On both sides of the street, on both sides of the palace...
The whole city was filled with noisy discussions. Countless people poured into the streets, looking forward to it. Those who couldn't squeeze to the front returned to their homes, opened the windows, and looked into the distance.
It's not just the people of Kyoto.
Even the geniuses of the aristocratic families, the priests of various mansions, and even the high-ranking officials of the Forbidden City, princes, generals and ministers... have torn off their former labels of "aloofness".
One after another, big figures who were previously elusive began to appear in front of everyone, causing many people to exclaim in surprise.
They may have different thoughts, but they are all extremely concerned about something that is going to happen next, and... their appearance itself is a kind of implicit indication...
Seeing this, many people couldn't help but sigh - Kyoto hasn't been this lively for some days.
The last time it was so lively was when Chu Tianxiao initiated the final battle on the top of the Forbidden City, right? The last time? It seemed to be the final battle between the two dragons of the Chu family, which attracted all the gods and dukes in the world to gather in Kyoto...
Why
By this calculation, it seems that most of the "excitement" in Kyoto this year is related to that Chu Baijia
Isn't it the same this time too
After figuring this out, everyone couldn't help but have all kinds of thoughts in their minds... The enemies of the Chu family were filled with bitterness, sadness, and resentment, while those who were pro-Chu were either beaming with joy or feeling quite amused - this little prodigal son was too much of a troublemaker!
Not only does he cause trouble in Kyoto, but even if he leaves Kyoto, he can still make a hole in the sky...
Just when everyone was thinking different things, there was suddenly a loud commotion in front of them!
“Here it comes! Here it comes!”
All that could be heard was a burst of extremely joyful shouts, followed by the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground in the distance.
Smoke rose from several miles away.
All of a sudden, everyone in Kyoto was excited. Countless people climbed up the city wall and looked out, just to see the true appearance of the defeated army with countless legendary colors...
Yes.
According to the itinerary, today is the day when Chu Tianxiao leads three thousand defeated soldiers back to Beijing.
To be honest, the journey of the three thousand defeated soldiers was "extremely uneasy" - it's not that they encountered enemies, but... the enemies they encountered were too enthusiastic!
You know, after this period of fermentation, the various achievements of the three thousand defeated soldiers have already been exposed to the public... In the first battle, he eliminated the name of the blood barbarians, then marched south, broke Liyang, deceived the narrow gorge, and opened the southeast gate of the Great Zhao! Then, the three thousand defeated soldiers met Zhaodu, broke the city with ease, abducted the prince and the concubine, changed Zhaodu to Tianmei, and presented a gift to the princess on a happy day!
Finally, this mighty army descended from the sky, slaughtered the emperor to prove their doctrine, and killed the King of Zhao, which eventually led to the decline of the Great Zhao. The new king surrendered, and the Great Zhao was destroyed!
Yes.
This army of 3,000 defeated soldiers, which was built from scratch by Chu Tianxiao, caused a huge storm and destroyed the Third Empire of China!
Of course, if we say that it was the three thousand defeated soldiers who destroyed the Great Zhao, there may be some doubts, but to say that they were the powerful and dominant factor that led to the decline and ultimate demise of the Great Zhao is beyond doubt!
Such a strong army, such a horrific record... coupled with the unremitting publicity of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the deeds of this army have become the topic of conversation in almost every household in the Great Zhou Dynasty...
Who doesn’t know you in the real China
In this situation, wouldn't the people of the Great Zhou be "full of enthusiasm" towards these three thousand defeated soldiers
Excessive enthusiasm is real!
As soon as the news of the Prodigal Army's departure spread, a shocking scene appeared... Traveling tens of thousands of miles back to Beijing, there were countless towns along the way. Every time the Prodigal Army arrived at a place, they were warmly welcomed by the local elders. These Zhoudi elders spontaneously welcomed them with food and drink, and often blocked the road! There were also cute girls in their prime, unmarried sisters in their prime, and even beautiful widowed women in their thirties... They all rushed to the road and flirted with the heroic and high-spirited Prodigal Army soldiers on horseback.
And Chu Baijia, who was walking in the front, the most majestic, the youngest, and the most handsome, naturally became the primary target of many women!
Flirting is a must, and wearing heavy makeup and dressing up to welcome the guests are basic requirements. As for showing flesh... Are you kidding me? If you don't even dare to show flesh, what are you doing standing out
a shame!
Yes, the women of the Great Zhou were so open-minded and daring to love and hate, as could be seen from Princess Tianmei. Therefore, almost every time Chu Tianxiao arrived at a place, he had to endure the temptations of beauties of all ages. Therefore, he felt that this journey was even more tiring than when he was stirring up trouble in the Great Zhao...
Of course, he felt tired in order to protect his virginity, but the other soldiers of the prodigal army were extremely happy. They accepted all the beauties who threw themselves at them and enjoyed it very much. Occasionally, they would even sneak into the woods in the middle of the night - after all, they came from the wild river basin and were not particular about trivial matters.
So it looked like the number of people returning to Beijing would be expanded several times!
Seeing this, and catching a few more incidents in the grove, Chu Tianxiao, who was showered with dog food, was so angry that his teeth itched. In order to "retaliate"... bah, for the unity and reputation of the army, he strictly disciplined his troops. Whenever he passed a place, he did not let them stay overnight. When passing by, he also required the three thousand defeated armored soldiers to maintain a strict formation, with several horses in a row, marching neither fast nor slow. He must absolutely enforce the orders and be serious!
However, Chu Tianxiao miscalculated, because the more serious the three thousand defeated armors were, the more the various beauties who flocked to them liked him, so...
Since it doesn’t work openly, we have to move everything underground.
Chu Tianxiao was helpless about this. After discussing with Xue Yan and others, he finally came to the conclusion - since it was a mutual agreement, just let them do it.
After fighting for so long, the three thousand defeated soldiers need to vent.
Since the two are so close, why should I be the bad guy
Therefore, after that, Chu Tianxiao only restrained the three thousand defeated soldiers in public, but ignored them in private. This caused a historian in later generations to be confused: "Why did the population of some important cities in the Great Zhou show a strange increase in the year after the fall of the Great Zhao?"
Of course, that’s a story for later.
At this moment, after this magnificent journey back to the capital, Chu Tianxiao finally led three thousand defeated soldiers back to Kyoto!
The smoke and dust filled the air, and it was finally getting closer.
Then a huge cavalry column appeared on the road ahead.
The troops were in neat order, wearing silver armors, and all of them stood with their chests puffed out and their bellies bulged out. They looked energetic and majestic.
What an elite cavalry!
You can tell at first glance that it is a powerful army that has experienced many battles!
I loved it at first sight!
The people of Kyoto don’t care about the overall situation. They only know that the powerful army approaching is our own people, the heroes who have just returned from victory and made great contributions!
So subconsciously, they were full of love for this powerful army, and the more they looked at it, the more they liked it - it made sense, with such a strong army, which protected the peace of the Great Zhou internally and expanded the territory externally, making powerful enemies tremble in fear... How could the people of Kyoto not like it
For a moment, the cheers were thunderous and deafening!
"The Loser Army!"
"The Loser Army!"
"The Loser Army!"
Countless shouts gathered together and naturally formed an astonishing momentum!
Right at this moment.
A somewhat "strange" ritual music sounded...
Suddenly, the expressions of many important figures in the field changed drastically!
