The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 75 Han General
"Yuan Chang wants Mr. Cai to prepare for the ceremony?"

Zhong Yao could tell that Liu Xie's tone sounded unfriendly, and it was not easy for him to refuse, so he had to move faster and head to the palace gate as soon as possible to make preparations.

The Shangshutai is going to prepare the ceremony in Baqiao!
This news cannot be concealed, and there is no need to conceal it.

First the gates of Chang'an were closed, and then Zhang Liao led 300 cavalrymen out of the city. Even the dumbest person would realize that something big might have happened near Chang'an!

Originally, the people of Chang'an were all worried, fearing that they would be harmed by war... Even some experienced old people had begun to hide their food, women, and property in secret places to prepare for the possible war that might come next.

But now that the news of the preparations for the celebration ceremony has spread, the people of Chang'an are undoubtedly relieved.

"No disaster!"

For ordinary people, they cannot see the swordplay in the court, nor can they hear the political turmoil. No matter whether it is Wang Yun or anyone else in power, as long as they can protect their lives and property, they are good officials and good people.

Although Zhong Yao had just complained about this hard job, he was also shocked when he saw and heard the expressions and discussions of the people in the streets of Chang'an.

"It seems that this is not because your Majesty is looking for glory."

Chang'an really needs a ceremony!
If your mind is at peace, things will be settled.

Although one hour was tight, Zhong Yao managed to prepare the ritual instruments and musicians required for the ceremony in Baqiao within the time limit.

The people of Chang'an also heard the news and rushed to Baqiao, lined up on both sides of the soldiers and joined in the fun.

The time is getting closer and the people are increasing.

But cold sweat still dripped down Zhong Yao's forehead.

It’s not that I’m afraid of the noise of the people.

But Cai Yan’s Han Fu has not been delivered yet!

Time passed gradually.

Zhong Yao suddenly heard a cry of surprise from the crowd!

Looking up, I saw the Han flag slowly moving towards Chang'an in the east.

Zhang Liao is back!
But the Hanfu has not been delivered yet!

Zhong Yao's face turned pale and he tried hard to calm himself down.

"That's it!"

Zhong Yao was already thinking in his mind, recalling several Han Dynasty poems he had read that praised the soldiers returning from battle, and decided to use them temporarily.

"You can recite them piece by piece, as long as no one finds out."

Just after Zhong Yao made up his mind, a rider suddenly came from Chang'an with a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand.

"Minister Zhong! Essay!"

When he saw the knight, Zhong Yao almost cried.

"If it had been a moment later, today's situation would have been really difficult to end!"

Zhong Yao also needed to vent at this moment: "Your Majesty, how could you trust the daughter of Cai Yong so much? In such an occasion, how could she finish the article at the last minute? After all, she is a woman and does not know the importance of things!"

The knight looked a little strange.

"Minister Zhong, Master Cai finished writing in half an hour. It was because Your Majesty forced Master Cai to talk about the allusions in Han Fu that it took so long..."

"..."

Zhong Yao returned to his usual attitude and took the bamboo slips: "I didn't say anything just now, and you didn't hear anything."

"Here..."

At this time, the people around cheered again!
The cavalry led by Zhang Liao has arrived at the edge of Baqiao!
In front of him, there were more than a thousand newly captured bandits tied up. Their dejected appearance made the big knights behind them look even more majestic!
Zhang Liao and a group of cavalrymen were feeling a little uneasy, their faces all turned a light red by the setting sun.

Even though they had fought for many years, they had never enjoyed such treatment. The sudden glory made them a little shy and even a little afraid.

However, when they reached the Ba Bridge and listened to the praises from the people around them, they all straightened their backs unconsciously!
Why be shy?
Why be afraid?
Fighting for the country and defeating the bandits is a great honor!

"Long live the Han! The Han army is mighty!"

Someone in the crowd shouted this, and in an instant, the sound gradually gathered into an ocean like a stream!

"Long live the Han! The Han army is mighty!"

"Long live the Han! The Han army is mighty!"

……

This voice drove away the last bit of discomfort in Zhang Liao and others' hearts. They all raised their chins and immersed themselves in the cheers!
Walking in front was the captured Xu Huang.

Xu Huang remained unusually calm from beginning to end after being captured.

Even when Zhang Liao tied Xu Huang's hands as if to humiliate him and made Xu Huang walk in front of the prisoners, Xu Huang did not show any sign of fear.

But at the moment.

When he heard the cheers of the people around him, Xu Huang raised his head and looked at Chang'an not far away with envious eyes.

Be a general of the Emperor of Han.

Respected by the Han people.

How many warriors dream of this kind of scene?
Xu Huang originally thought that he would never have the hope of seeing such a scene again in his lifetime.

But today, he saw it.

The only regret is that Xu Huang is not a Han general riding on a warhorse and receiving praise from the people, but an enemy of the Han Dynasty...

"Have I become a traitor to the Han Dynasty?"

Since entering Guanzhong, Xu Huang no longer allowed people around him to call him "General", but instead called himself "General".

Although he had the intention of disguise, Xu Huang might really want to become a general of the Han Dynasty in his heart!

But why did things turn out like this today?
Just when Xu Huang was feeling sad, the sound of ritual music suddenly started.

As the director of this ceremony, Zhong Yao also unfolded the bamboo slips he had just received and read aloud:

"The glorious Han Dynasty has a long and lasting destiny. Emperor Gaozu founded the Han Dynasty, and after hundreds of years, it still shows its might. The great imperial power supports the people, and the power is feared by all. The Xuanji is in operation, the destiny is in the hands of heaven, the imperial plan is consolidated, and the golden bowl is forever secure. The dragon flag flutters, the phoenix soars in the sky, the jade chariot is winding, and the crown is dazzling. Such a grand occasion is all due to the loyalty and good. The men of Pixiu are brave and unparalleled, wearing armor and holding sharp weapons to protect the country and the people."

When Zhong Yao thought about it, he could hardly believe that such a majestic Han Dynasty poem was actually written by a woman named Cai Yan!
"Don't doubt the emperor in anything!"

At this moment, Zhong Yao not only changed his opinion of Cai Yan, but also felt a certain awe towards Liu Xie again.

"Has the emperor ever read Mr. Cai's Hanfu before?"

……

Zhong Yao shook his head. Now was not the time to think about this matter.

After shaking off his recent panic, Zhong Yao was also lifted up by the Han Fu.

"He supported his wise master, served his country on the battlefield, and was loyal to his country. He was a great general of the Han Dynasty, and his achievements were outstanding..."

After reading this, Zhong Yao had no choice but to stop again.

It wasn't that he was tired, but the cheers of the people around him were so loud that they drowned out the sounds of him and the surrounding music.

"Long live the Han! The Han army is mighty!"

"Long live the Han! The Han army is mighty!"
