Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 239 Tiger Roaring Palace
Since then, Qin Feng spent every day in the barracks, personally presiding over various tactical confrontation drills. The Turkic tactics are very simple, and their confrontation is very simple. There are no tactics or tricks, and some are just head-to-head. of fighting.With the help of natural advantages, a wave of bows and arrows greeted, and then with excellent riding skills and the impact of the horse, they rushed to the front and slashed. If the troops were weak in willpower, they would have been overwhelmed by the momentum and collapsed in advance.Therefore, when fighting against Turks and other northern alien races, blocking the first wave of attacks is particularly critical. Once the first wave of attacks is blocked, the second, third, and fourth waves... will easily collide with each other. Soldiers of Turks and other northern alien races Without the discipline and sense of honor of a soldier, it's okay to win a battle, but if you encounter a defeat, you will be defeated in one blow.

One bang, then decline, three exhaustion, and finally collapse.

It can be said that this sentence is appropriate when applied to foreign races such as the North.In order to minimize the losses in the war, Qin Feng divided the whole army into two, and conducted a full-strength confrontation without any strategy. Except for the weapons, everything else was real, so every time he came down, there were a lot of people "Death" with a bruised nose and a swollen face!
The busy days pass day by day, and the new year finally arrives,
Every household of the common people is decorated with lanterns and streamers, and firecrackers are lit, hoping that the new year will be prosperous with joy.

The common people have their own way of welcoming the new year, and the Tang Dynasty also has a fixed way of welcoming the new year... Yuan Ri Chaohui.

The grandest and most solemn meeting of the year, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as long as they are above the ninth rank in Beijing, must participate, even the feudal officials who are far away from the border must send envoys.

In the ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, such court meetings have been held nine times, but the tenth and undoubtedly the most grand one, the Tang Dynasty began preparations two months ago.

The reason is naturally that Datang has made great achievements in these years and demonstrated its strength.

Sweep away all heroes, unite the world, easily defeat Xieli's elite army, and shake the world.

With this prestige of achievement, the surrounding foreign races could no longer ignore it, so they naturally sent envoys to see him.

This was the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty that so many foreigners had received court visits, which meant that they recognized the strength of the Tang Dynasty and the existence of the Lord of the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty naturally had to respond with a special attitude.

This early in the morning, Qin Feng came to the imperial city.

The civil and military officials around were like ants gathering, one by one dressed in grand court uniforms and lined up in front of the Tai Chi Palace according to the ranking of officials.

Because the relatives of the emperor must also participate in this court meeting, although Qin Feng is in the position of general, there is still a gap between him and the relatives of the direct line of the emperor, and the seat he stands is relatively low.

When the auspicious time came, the drums were hung and played, and Chen Che moved slowly with his chariot.Li Shimin wore a crown of guns and passed through Chengtian Gate under a gorgeous guard of honor, and held a foreign court here, accepting the visits of envoys from various countries, civil and military officials.

First of all, Crown Prince Li Chengqian congratulated him on his birthday. Among the crowd, Li Chengqian congratulated Li Shimin for the Tang Dynasty with great style.Then the princes also congratulated each other one by one. After them, Zhongshu ordered Zhuzhou Biao, Huangmen Shilang played Xiangrui, Hubu Shangshu played Zhuzhou Contributions, Libu Shangshu played Zhufan Contributions, Tai Shiling played Yunwu, Shi Zhongzuo After the ceremony.

Nearly a thousand people shouted long live, and after complicated and cumbersome procedures, the Great Court Assembly also came to an end.

Next came the Chengtian Gate Tower Banquet, which was specially held for civil and military officials and envoys from all over the world.

Not everyone can participate in this banquet, only the court officials and the envoys of the Tibetans have this right.

Qin Feng, who officially lives in General Huben, is also a relative of the emperor in private, so he is naturally one of the important ministers who can participate.

Li Shimin is at the top, Li Chengqian, and then on the left are envoys from various tribes and envoys from Lingnan.

Qin Feng sat in a seat that was neither forward nor backward.

The banquet was festive, with singing and dancing, and various acrobatic performances, making it lively.

Qin Feng also couldn't take his eyes off it. The ancient acrobatics didn't have any brilliant props, they all relied on real kung fu, which is amazing.

The wine was sweet and warm, and the envoy of Tuyuhun suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, in order to celebrate this happy day, I, King Tuyuhun, specially ordered me, the Tuyuhun Warrior, to prepare a show, hoping to get His Majesty Tang's permission."

The banquet fell silent suddenly.

Li Shimin was not surprised by what Tuyuhun sang, and even thought it was reasonable.

Qin Feng also understands that the current Tang Dynasty is not after all the prestigious "Tian Khan" era, after all, it is not a dynasty that surrenders from all sides and all nations come to congratulate.Although he has achieved certain achievements, it is not enough to be respected and feared by the barbarians in all directions.The reason why they came to the dynasty was that some people tried to establish normal diplomatic relations, and they could obtain innumerable benefits from the Tang dynasty. After all, the Central Plains dynasties of all dynasties were very generous to foreigners, and they only needed to pay one to get a hundred Of course, the real purpose is to see Datang's strength.See if Datang is really strong today, and whether it is worth forming an alliance and normalizing.

The strength of Tuyuhun in the Western Regions is second only to the Turks. During the Sui Dynasty, the border began to be troubled.The Sui Dynasty sent troops twice to set up the four counties of Heyuan, Xihai, Shanshan, and Qiemo in the Tuyuhun area. Also getting stronger.Because it is stuck on the economic artery of the East and the West, the economy is quite developed.

With a certain amount of strength, one should not be arrogant.The purpose of Tuyuhun's envoy's visit this time is to investigate the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and secondly, to show off the power and let the Tang Dynasty know the strength of Tuyuhun.In this way, in the business contacts between the two parties, the weight of speech is heavier.

Regarding Tuyuhun's request, Li Shimin sneered in his heart, but said with a hearty smile: "You have specially prepared a show to celebrate my Tang Dynasty, so there is no reason for me not to approve it."

Li Shimin did not have any hesitation or hesitation towards this disguised provocation.The very straightforward response also shows the greatness of a great country that is not afraid of any challenges.

"This place is too small. The ministers implore Your Majesty to move to the tower and watch from the tower!" The envoys of Tuyuhun bowed respectfully, and they did enough in terms of etiquette.

"Okay! Then move to the gate tower!" Li Shimin responded without hesitation, strode out of the Chengtian gate tower, and stood on the gate tower.The left and right envoys and officials are arranged in order.

Qin Feng looked around boredly, waiting for the next sideshow.

Two Tuyuhun people drove a six-horse carriage through the palace gate and into the square. Behind the carriage was a square container-like object.But because it was covered by a thick cloth, I didn't know what it was, so it looked extremely bulky.

"What kind of tricks are these Tuyuhun people playing? If you want to compete in martial arts, just come directly. With the Great General Qin around, it is not a problem to beat them by a dozen or twenty. If it is Wendou, there will be a little General Qin, why bother to play tricks like this. "Qin Feng looked at the sound, there was a general on the left, he looked down blankly, but said to Qin Feng.Qin's father and son have their own strengths, and enjoy a great reputation in the Tang Dynasty, so this person has such a talk

Qin Feng replied: "Foreigners admire the strong, it should be related to this!"

Everyone on the tower, except the mysterious Tuyuhun envoy.Everyone else showed the same expression.

The envoy of Tuyuhun said: "Dear Your Majesty Tian Khan, our performance is a bit dangerous. Please allow us to prepare for this and put in place protective measures so as not to disturb Your Majesty's pleasure."

Li Shimin was curious from the bottom of his heart, but he did not refuse, and specially ordered the soldiers to assist.

But after a while, one by one the soldiers moved the nearly two-meter-high Julu antlers, forming a circle around the vast field in front of the Taiji Hall.

Seeing the sharpened antlers, Qin Feng was full of doubts.

"What is this Tuyuhun doing?" Li Ke stood beside Qin Feng and was also at a loss.

Everyone in front of the hall, except the confident Tuyuhun envoy, showed the same expression.

After the refusal antlers were surrounded, a dozen or so Tuyuhuns appeared in front of the crowd driving two carriages.

Qin Feng glanced over and saw something dragged on the carriage, square and covered with black curtains. I don't know what it was, but it looked extremely heavy.

"What's inside?" Qin Feng's eyes showed curiosity, and he thought to himself. Suddenly, he heard a low roar similar to that of a tiger. Seeing the movement of Julujiao's heart, he thought of a possibility, and lost his voice: "Could it be a tiger?"

Two carriages entered the interior of Rejecting Antlers.

Hei pulled it apart, and the square was an extremely huge iron cage.Locked in the iron cage is a very majestic white tiger.

The white tiger was crawling in the cage, but the moment the black cloth opened, it jumped up and roared.

"Roar..." There was a long and deafening howl, which only shocked all the horses near the Tai Chi Hall to neigh in panic.

Everyone in the hall was a little out of control and turned pale with horror.

It was not uncommon for people to see tigers present, but they had never seen such a majestic tiger.

The tiger in the cage was more than ten feet long, with a long tail and shoulders nearly half a foot high, and weighed at least seven or eight hundred catties. The obvious "king" character.

Qin Feng was also taken aback. The characteristics of this tiger in front of him were very similar to the Bengal tiger, the second largest tiger in the world, but it was extremely rare in terms of body size, which was bigger than the largest Siberian tiger in later generations.

Presumably, it was because the ancient beasts were rampant and the competition was fierce. The beasts of this era are far more fierce and stronger than those of later generations.As the king of beasts, the tiger should be even more so.Presumably, the Siberian tiger, known as the most ferocious and largest cat in the world, is even more majestic.

Most of the tigers in the Central Plains are South China tigers, which are relatively small species, and the Central Plains has always been densely populated, so it is difficult for such fierce beasts as tigers to grow effectively.Therefore, it is rare to see a really strong tiger, let alone a tiger with Bengal tiger blood.

The envoy of Tuyuhun said loudly: "I, Tuyuhun, am a martial artist and take fighting tigers as my greatest honor. I specially offer a human-tiger fight to His Majesty."

Looking at the rare Bengal tiger, the officials on the tower whispered.

In the eyes of Tang Wenwu, it is really harmful to the peace of heaven and earth to fight with humans and tigers.

However, Gaochang, Yanqi and other audience groups showed expressions of great interest. As a barbaric place, although there is a certain culture in accepting Sinicization, this kind of spirit of fighting and fighting is still full.Compared with the exquisite dances and mysterious acrobatics of the Tang Dynasty, they prefer this kind of exciting and bloody show.

Because of the different cultures, Kong Yingda stood up and said: "Today is my first day celebration of the Tang Dynasty, so it is not easy to see blood. Such a show is detrimental."

The envoy of Tuyuhun shook his head in great disappointment and said, "The foreign ministers have long heard that the Celestial Dynasty favors martial arts, but they don't want to dare not even see the blood. It is a waste of my king's sincerity." He saw that everyone on the city wall was amazed by the caged tiger, thinking It's because I'm afraid and dare not face each other, and I can't help being proud and complacent, and the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than that.

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Master Kong is right, but the customs of different countries in the world are different, and we can't force it. My Tang Dynasty has the tolerance of a sea and a hundred rivers. The king of your country sincerely prepared this show. I have no reason not to watch it. But it’s too far away here, so I can’t see clearly. Today’s sunshine is very good, so I decided to surround the square with a banquet. I’ll eat and drink while watching how your country’s warriors subdue the tiger.”

The envoys were also deeply surprised to see Li Shimin's courage.The king of a country is so magnanimous.Datang really should not be underestimated.

Qin Feng also secretly praised Li Shimin.

A group of people went down to the city tower, and the banquet was placed again.

The envoy of Tuyuhun saw that Li Shimin's response was decent, without compromising the bearing of the Tang Dynasty, and he was also convinced, but for the sake of his country, he still had a calm expression and waved to the distance.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man with his upper body bare walked into the field surrounded by the antlers.
