Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 809 Five-clawed dragon and four-clawed python

Fan Yang.

Before the army is closed.

On the parade platform, a large banner with the characters of Qin fluttered in the wind.

The young emperor Luo Cheng sat under the big banner in an ocher yellow robe embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons. In front of him were nine fifth-rank guards with imperial equipment, and in front of him were 36 Qianniu Beishen with Qianniu knives.

And next to the emperor was King Luo Siye of Jin, who was dressed in the red robe of nine pythons sitting on a dragon with four claws in Jiangya seawater.

On the emperor's robe is a five-clawed golden dragon, which is also a real dragon.On the prince's robe is a four-clawed dragon, also known as a python dragon.

Both the emperor's dragon robe and the prince's python robe have obliquely arranged lines at the lower end, which are called water feet.There are turbulent water waves at the foot of the water, and there are mountains, stones and treasures on the water waves, commonly known as Jiangya sea water.

In the Great Qin Dynasty, all clothing had specifications and grades.

For example, the robes of officials are purple, scarlet, green and blue, the subordinates are black, and the civilians are white or yellow.

Although the Son of Heaven also used yellow, he did not prevent the common people from taking yellow as the color of the Son of Heaven. This kind of ocher yellow is the color of the Son of Heaven. This kind of brighter yellow is not low-key and luxurious enough, so people can't help but take it.

But the dragon robe can only be used by the Son of Heaven, and the python robe can only be used by princes and princes, and Daqin also stipulates that people with different surnames are not allowed to be crowned kings, so those who can wear dragon robes and python robes are all royals.

Next to Luo Siye, there is a person who is not a royal but also wears pythons. This person was given the surname Luo, and was specially decreed to be included in the genus, and recorded in the royal genealogy. His surname was Luo, and he was granted the title of General Zuo Wuwei. Therefore, although he was only granted the title of Duke of Shun, the emperor gave him a flowered boa robe.

Siye wears the red robe of nine pythons, but Simo wears the green robe of seven pythons.

On the opposite side of Simo was Liu Wuzhou, the Duke of Dai, who was wearing a purple robe, but each patch on the chest and back of the official robe.

Liu Wuzhou's official uniform was patched with two patches, not because he was particularly frugal, but because it was a new official uniform system created by the Great Qin Dynasty. Gold thread and colored silk are used to embroider patchwork, civil servants embroider birds, military officials embroider animals, and the patterns of each patch are regulated.

The son-in-law of the duke and uncle is Qilin, and the son-in-law is Bai Ze.

Civil officials embroider poultry to show civilization, first-rank cranes, second-rank golden pheasants, third-rank peacocks, fourth-rank cloud geese, fifth-rank white pheasants, sixth-rank egrets, seventh-rank grebes, eighth-rank orioles, and ninth-rank quails;

Military officers embroider beasts to demonstrate their might: lions of first and second ranks, tigers and leopards of third and fourth ranks, bears of fifth ranks, tigers of sixth and seventh ranks, rhinos of eighth ranks, and seahorses of ninth ranks;

Miscellaneous jobs are practice.

Feng Xianguan is Xiezhi.

But Liu Wuzhou's purple patch is embroidered with bullfighting, which is similar to the pattern of python, and bullfighting is originally a star in the sky.Bullfighting clothes are not included in the supplementary clothes of various products, but are bestowed by the emperor.

The bullfighting suit is made of python-headed bull horns, and the two horns on the head are bent downwards like bull horns. Generally, only those who are above the third rank can be bestowed by heaven if they have made great achievements.

In addition, there are also flying fish suits, which are given to generals.

The flying fish suit is also similar to the python robe. The flying fish python also has two horns, the dragon head and the fish body have wings, and the eyes are not afraid of thunder. Therefore, it is said to have the divinity and divine power of the god of thunder, so the emperor bestowed the third grade with the flying fish suit The above meritorious generals.

Although the bullfighting and flying fish suits are not boa robes, they are more noble than the standard civil and military suits because they resemble python robes.

Luo Siye is the emperor's elder brother, and also the Dingxiang Jiedu envoy who holds a heavy army in his hand, so he is naturally wearing a nine python robe.Although Luo Simo is now only the deputy envoy of Dingxiang Jiedu, he is very prestigious among the Turks. He is a typical representative selected by the emperor among the Turks.

As the governor of a town, Liu Wuzhou has three counties in Daibei under his command, and has more than [-] soldiers. It is considered a mountain that has not been formally reorganized, so he has to be made the Duke of the state, and he is also bestowed with bullfighting uniforms.

On the opposite side of him, another Jiedu envoy, Hengshan Jiedu envoy Feng Xiaoci, although he is also a duke of the state, can only be served by Feiyu.Because although he is also a Jiedu envoy, the army under his command is the army with the head of the gods who has completed the reorganization.

Now, the Great Qin Dynasty Hall has divided the rear horses from all walks of life into two categories. One is the soldiers and horses with the prefix of God, and they are all called the Royal Guards.Instead of soldiers and horses with the initials of gods, such as Siye's Xuanwu, Luo Yi's Zhenhai, and Liu Wuzhou's Yiwu armies, they are all local armies.

Liu Wuzhou stroked his needle-like beard, and said to the emperor with a smile, "Your Majesty thinks highly of Li Mi and Wang Shichong, saying that they are two tigers fighting each other, but at most it is two dogs fighting for food. Now only Pei Xingyan and Lai Xing are the two of you." General, escorted by [-] sailors and [-] cavalry, they have already taken both of them to their nests, this battle was really well won."

Although the capital of Fanyang Army is [-] miles away from Luoyang, the Duwei Mansion of the pro-military army has already started to use flying pigeons to relay messages in stages. In today's situation where various regions are divided and roads are blocked, this information will take more time.

But with this pigeon messenger, some important military information can be guaranteed to be delivered within three days.Although the cost is not small, it is very worthwhile.

Pei Xingyan and the bearded man seized Luoyang and took over Xingluo.

These two messages were delivered at the same time as the news of Wang Shichong's defeat of Li Mi in Beiman Mountain, and it only took two days.

However, Luo Cheng, Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, summoned the Jiedu envoys of Dingxiang, Daibei, and Hengshan to come to the military capital, and it took five days for them to arrive.

Before the emperor sent two generals, Pei Lai, to take advantage of the opportunity of Li Mi and Wang Shichong's battle to enter Luo. At first, all the generals thought that it might not have any miraculous effect.

The imperial court is still planning a new round of offensive step by step.

Regardless of whether Wang Shichong or Li Mi won the victory, they could not escape the attack of the Qin army.

But who would have expected that Li Mi, who had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, would be defeated by Wang Shichong, let alone that Pei Xingyan would take Luoyang, and Xingluocangcheng in Laizheng.

As for Pei Renji and Wei Wensheng occupying Yanshi to join the Great Qin, and Li Mibing being defeated in Luokou Cang and returning to Qin, these were even more unexpected.

The soldiers and horses on the side of the imperial court, where the situation is fast, have not yet been mobilized.

"Li Mi claims to have millions of soldiers and covers an area of ​​more than ten counties, but he is so vulnerable." Liu Wuzhou sneered.

Although he had never dispatched a single soldier since he killed Wang Rengong and had been busy stabilizing the interior and guarding against Yang Yichen and Xiao Yu in Taiyuan, this did not prevent him from looking down on Li Mi.

"It doesn't matter how many soldiers there are. In a real war, more soldiers may not necessarily be a good thing. More soldiers may not necessarily be able to deploy all of them. The more soldiers are mobilized, the more money and food will be spent, and the commanding ability of the general will be tested. Looking at today's In the world, there are not many people who can command a large army of more than 10 people to fight." Luo Siye did not underestimate the enemy.

Having fought so many battles with Luo Cheng, and being on his own, he knew very well that a large number of soldiers is not everything.
