- "Haba, old Haba, why don't you get up quickly? You sacrificed all your cattle and sheep and walked such a long way, isn't it just to have a look at the capital before you die? If you want to see it, get up and hurry up. The weather today is That¡¯s right, hurry up and you¡¯ll be able to reach Chang¡¯an before noon!¡±
It was just dawn when a loud, rough voice suddenly broke the silence, triggering bursts of echoes. Although many people were awakened, few expressed dissatisfaction because the words spoken in a loud voice had an inspiring effect.
Chang'an!
Among the border states of the Han Empire, this is a word that is extremely coveted. In this world, there are definitely no more than ten terms that can be compared with it!
In an instant, this small town located on the Jingshui River turned from silence to noisy, with cheers, people shouting and horses neighing, and people talking happily about related topics, and bursts of laughter would break out from time to time.
But the protagonist in that sentence, Old Haba, never showed up. Even though the loud voice shouted several times, no one answered. Soon, the noisy travelers also realized that something was wrong, and their eyes began to focus on the small gatehouse next to the stables.
"Is he dead?"
"It's hard to say. This is not the first time this has happened. These are old shepherd slaves who have no children or grandchildren to support them. They have spent most of their life saving just to make a pilgrimage to the Central Plains. They say that if they die in the Central Plains, they will be here in the next life. Tuosheng¡that¡¯s what they believe.¡±
"It's a pity, it's only half a day away"
The loud voice was a big man with a beard and a bloated down jacket. The beard on his face was so long that he couldn't even see his facial features clearly, but after hearing these comments, it could be seen on his face that An obviously worried expression.
"This old guy, it's not a good time to die, but he died at this time. This time he was escorting the crown prince to pay homage to the emperor and the general. If he missed the time, he would be dead!" He stepped forward cursing. , pushed open the door, feeling extremely depressed.
It doesn¡¯t matter if someone dies, but this person is in his team, and according to the rules, he must deal with the aftermath of the other party. Although there is no need to do any rituals, it is obviously not possible to just throw people into the wild. They must explain it to the Public Security Bureau. In this way, they will definitely not be able to leave for most of the day.
"What bad luck!" He cursed angrily, and grabbed the palm of his hand directly into the darkness.
He almost believed that the other party was dead, and thought about taking out the body first. After all, this concierge is not a place for people to live. It is dirty and shabby. There are dust and cobwebs everywhere, and there is no place to put a foot down.
He just wanted to save money on rent, so he begged his boss to accommodate the old shepherd slave he brought here. You know, a hotel like this located on the only way to Chang'an is very expensive! You need at least one gold coin to stay in any guest room!
An imperial gold coin can buy seven or eight sheep on the grassland. Why would he spend it on an old shepherd slave who has nothing to do with it?
He accurately grabbed the old Mu Nu¡¯s leg, but the touch on his hand was obviously wrong. Not only was there heat, but the leg was still trembling slightly!
Fortunately, the big man had experienced many life-and-death fights, so he was not frightened to the point of screaming on the spot. He was just slightly stunned, then took two steps back and cursed: "Immortal old man, if I call you, are you still pretending to be dead? Yes?" Just keep pretending, don't blame me for leaving you halfway!"
"No, no, Mr. Hu, no, don't be angry!" A man in a leather robe crawled out of the darkness. Because he came out on his knees, he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could tell from his figure. This was an extremely thin man. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"It's just that I'm about to arrive at Shenjing. I'm so excited. I've been in a daze all night. Plus, I'm old and deaf You, sir, have a lot of trouble. Please spare Old Haba."
"It feels like this is the Central Plains! What does it look like to kneel and worship? Do you want the Public Security Bureau to accuse me of trespassing?" The big man frowned and said: "Forget it this time, there won't be any more offenses anyway. That's it, the team is on its way now, you can follow it yourself." After saying that, he walked away quickly, as if he was escaping from the plague.
Seeing that no one was dead and no longer interested in watching the excitement, the onlookers dispersed and went about their own business, leaving only the old shepherd slave crawling on the ground.
The old Mu Nu did not stand up in a hurry, but raised his face and looked deeply at the Jingshui flowing outside the door. The humility and submission from a moment ago were no longer visible on his face. There was a hint of anger in his muddy eyes. A kind of brilliance mixed with nostalgia and reminiscence.
"The Jing water is clear the Wei water is turbid who is boating on the river the place where the soul returns is the hometown Chang'an, Chang'an!" On the face covered with dust, the dry and crackedHis lips moved slightly, and what he recited in an inaudible voice turned out to be a song full of Chinese style!
If Mr. Hu from before heard this, he would definitely be frightened and fall down. Although as the power of the empire spreads far and wide, Han civilization is being respected by more and more people, but no matter how deeply rooted it is in the hearts of the people, it is still not to the extent that an old herdsman on the grassland can compose poetry¡ª¡ª This has nothing to do with the literary value of the poem itself, it is a matter of common sense.
Even in Liaodong, where the king has been the longest, the herdsmen there are relatively smooth in Mandarin. Compared with the authentic Central Plains people, you can't hear much difference, that's all. To be able to read and write at this level, apart from the princes, generals and relatives, only those who have made great contributions and are most loyal to the empire are eligible to receive education. Not even one among ten thousand prairie people can receive it!
As a result, a humble old shepherd slave suddenly recited poetry. This kind of thing is completely unimaginable!
Combined with the last two affectionate calls, if the experienced police detectives from the Public Security Department were here, they might have guessed something, but now there is no one around the old Mu Nu.
There was the sound of wheels rattling not far away, and someone vaguely shouted the name of 'Haba'. The old shepherd slave stood up and patted the dust on his body alternately with both hands. Then he staggered toward the sound of carriages and horses. direction.
¡¡
Today¡¯s Central Plains is very different from the past. The most intuitive thing is the wide and flat roads. The road that Lao Haba and his party took is called Yongliang Highway, which is one of the important passages connecting Liangzhou and Guanzhong.
This road is very wide, enough to accommodate sixteen carriages traveling in parallel at the same time.
The road surface is made of so-called triple soil, which is a layer of cinders, a layer of gravel, and then covered with a layer of soil. It is durable and far superior to the previous dirt roads.
Just walking on such a magnificent road will suddenly lift one's spirit. But it also depends on the person. Haba and his group looked very rustic walking on it.
??As for the identity of this team, it¡¯s actually not that bad. They are an armed caravan affiliated with Dingbei Hou. Dingbeihou was originally the title of White Horse General Gongsun Zan, but now it has been passed to his son Gongsun Xu. The old general had disbanded his troops and returned home more than 20 years ago, returning to the Central Plains to enjoy his blessings.
This time, the leader of the team was Gongsun Muyu, the prince of Dingbeihou. On the one hand, it was to meet the emperor and the general, and on the other hand, it was to pay homage to the old prince. For business reasons, he divided the team into several groups and rode lightly with his own people. The other caravans would gather in Chang'an at the agreed time.
The power of Dingbeihou is not small. In the year when the old general was disarmed, the Dingbei army had already crossed Langjuxu Mountain and was on par with the Duliaohou who had reached the Ruoshui River. The two sides were divided by Hulun Lake. territory.
In terms of the size of the territory alone, the two sides combined are not much smaller than the Central Plains. What's more, Gongsun Xu, who inherited his father's business, has not been idle in the past twenty years.
The day when Old Haba went south with his team happened to be the eighth anniversary of the completion of Beihai City. With this new city as the center, the Dingbei Army's offensive was in full swing. Their opponents changed one after another, including Xianbei, Ding Ling, Jiankun, but no one can stop them.
Tribes were wiped out one after another, and cities were built one after another. They couldn¡¯t stop at all. No one knew where the Dingbei Army would stop in the end.
But no matter how big the territory is, no matter how powerful the martial arts is, they can't change the center of the world. Everything in the Central Plains food, clothing, housing, transportation, and dreams of wealth are beyond the reach of other places.
As we get closer and closer to Chang'an City, the shepherds who were still discussing Shenjing enthusiastically not long ago are getting quieter and quieter.
Their eyes widened, they held their breath, and their nostrils were flaring, as if everything they saw along the way was imprinted on all their senses.
The only exception is Old Haba. Although what he sees now is very different from what he remembered many years ago, the mountains, the water, and the blooming flowers linger in his dreams many times, making it unforgettable.
But to be honest, the Chang'an he once came to was far less prosperous than it is now. At that time, there were waves of rebels in Xiliang, and the court repeatedly proposed to abandon Sanfu. Apart from the city and the palaces in the city, Chang'an was not necessarily much better than the current Beihai City.
But things are really different now. The sixteen-mile road is full of cars and horses. If the order hadn't been good enough, the whole road would not have been crowded.
Every eight or nine miles you can find a town that functions as both a market and a transit place. Almost all the residents in the town make a living by doing business. Some people open various shops, some specialize in material circulation, and some specialize in providing various related services.
For example, in the team now, there is someone wearing a green shirt with aThe man wearing a scarf walked together with Mr. Hu, who was leading the team. While walking in a square step, he pointed around and gave various explanations.
This is a person who works as a guide, and he is dealing with people like them who come from other places for pilgrimage or business.
There have been people like this before, but they would never make a living from it. But similarly, none of the guides Haba has ever seen is more professional than this person.
"That's a track carriage. It means the carriage runs on the track. What's the use? Haha, it's a big advantage. Those rails are very smooth. Even if it's loaded with heavy things, it's easy to pull Look, there's another Come here, the car is full of coal. This is a long-distance trip to the Western Regions If it weren't for the rail car, how could it be so easy to transport supplies to the Western Regions?"
"The Liaodong side is also going to be built, you should know about it, right? Well, I heard that construction will start in the west of Liaoning. Isn't there a seaport over there"
"Actually, Chang'an is not the most prosperous. We Han people have three capitals, the central capital is Luoyang, the eastern capital is Bohai, and Xijing is Chang'an. How come there are three? Haha, of course it is necessary. To put it simply, Luoyang is the cultural and academic center, where more than half of the scholars in the empire have gathered. The original Beigong has been completely built into a library. How many books do you think there are? Several of the most famous universities in the empire are located there. There is a saying that goes well, learning No matter how high you are, you can boast after having been to Luoyang"
"Chang'an is actually a military center. Four of the Sixth Cavalry Army of the Han Dynasty are stationed here. It is prosperous, but actually it is passable. It all depends on the convenience brought by the transportation of materials. Not to mention compared with the East and West Beijings. Even some other big cities in the Central Plains are much inferior. Chang'an's reputation is mainly external, because every time the hussars go out, they use it as a starting point. The Han hussars are invincible in every battle and can't conquer any attack, so they naturally have a good reputation. .¡±
¡°To really talk about prosperity, we have to count the Bohai Sea!¡±
The guide raised his thumb, with a rare look of admiration in his eyes, "The location of the Eastern Capital is in the southern part of the original Bohai KingdomYou may not know this, but let's put it this way, the general defeated Yuan Shao and became the dominant During the Qing and Ji Dynasties, the government was located in Gaotang. The current Bohai Sea was developed on the basis of Gaotang"
"Compared to the original Gaotang, the current Bohai Sea is adjacent to the river to the south and the sea to the east. It is the political and economic center of the empire. To be more prosperous, Chang'an is probably not even a tenth of it. Well, say It¡¯s not an exaggeration to say it¡¯s one percent. That¡¯s the real beauty of the world and the wonder of the world!¡±
The guide paused for a moment, observed the expressions of the audience, and suddenly asked: "It seems that none of you really believe it?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare, I just feel that I can't think about it" Boss Hu shook his head like a drum, and explained in a hurry: "I just feel that this Chang'an City is already like a fairyland, and that Bohai Sea How can it be exceeded a hundred times?¡±
There is one town for ten miles and one village for three to five miles. This is already the case on the outskirts of Chang'an. How can such a population density be imagined by people who have lived in the wilderness outside the Great Wall for a long time? But this is still relatively less prosperous, which is really unbelievable.
"What is this? Regardless of the number of cities and towns, they all revolve around transporting materials to the outside world. The general said it well. Chang'an's pillar industries are inherently deficient. Forcible development will only waste resources and destroy the environment. Looking at the Bohai Sea again, it is close to the sea. Isn¡¯t the most prosperous thing in our country of Han now maritime trade?"
"In short, you will know if you have a chance to go to the Bohai Sea. If you don't have the chance to go to the Bohai Sea, it is also good to go to Xuzhou or Jiangnan. Because of the prosperity of sea trade, even remote places like Dongzhi are now very popular ¡Where is Dongzhi? How do you say it? It¡¯s a small city by the sea in the southeast corner of the empire. It¡¯s really hard to explain.¡±
Hearing this, Haba suddenly had a question in his mind: In which capital city is the world-famous general stationed? Where is the emperor? Boss Hu said that this time the prince is coming to Chang'an to pay homage to the emperor and the general. Are they always in Chang'an? But if what the guide said was true, didn't he let go of his economic lifeline? In this way, isn't he afraid of danger?
Although he was disturbed by this series of questions, the old man did not dare to ask rashly. It was precisely because of this forbearance that he survived to this day. Before his last wish was fulfilled, he would not take risks casually. .
Fortunately, there were people in the caravan who were knowledgeable and curious, and they quickly raised similar questions.
"The general is usually in the Bohai Sea, and your majesty is in the palace in Luoyang. If it weren't for the personal guidance of the general, how could sea trade develop into what it is today in just thirty years? As for your majesty, the university Among them, bachelors and academicians with outstanding achievements have to graduate, but the emperor must personally issue medals of honor. Of course, it is more convenient for Your Majesty to stay in Luoyang."
"Chang'an is usually run by a few generals. Anyway, there haven't been many wars in recent years. It's already a big deal to send out a general. Basically, Chang'an is the headquarters of the Shangzhu State. The general is in charge, so you don¡¯t know his name, right?¡±
Boss Hu was not questioned this time. He gave a thumbs up with a proud look on his face: "Changshan Zhao Zilong also served under our old master! Now on the grassland, this is the only one with this name. The head can scare everyone! General Zhao of Shangzhu Kingdom, and two generals Zhang on the left and right, who are not frightened by the wind and fire?"
Hearing the familiar names, Haba¡¯s thoughts began to wander.
Speaking of which, he also worked with General Zhang Zha on the right. More than forty years seem to have passed by in an instant, and the gap between the two sides is really a huge difference.
How did all this happen? Haba tried his best to open his cloudy eyes, trying to find something from the depths of his long-lasting memory.
Yes, I was once the enemy of these people, dedicated to subverting the advantage of the Hussars in the world. However, repeated failures pushed me into the abyss
"Chang'an, it's Chang'an!" A tearful cheer woke him up from his memory. When he looked up suddenly, under the strong sunshine at noon, a majestic city shone. In the golden halo, the ancient city glowed. It has a dreamlike brilliance that cannot be accurately described by words such as brilliant alone.
"Chang'an!"
"Shenjing!"
The cheers came and went, like waves. People who have been admiring him for a long time can't find any other way. They can only shout these two words with the greatest strength to vent the excitement in their hearts.
This is the charm that Xijing of the Han Empire should have!
¡¡
The guide and the people from Chang'an had seen this situation many times and didn't think it was strange. They just waited quietly for these bumpkin to regain their composure. Contempt is unnecessary. Confident Imperial people do not need to use this method to show their superiority.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the caravan got back on the road. Some people started to look at Shu, and asked with a bit of luck: "I don't know if the prince has arrived Speaking of which, Boss Hu, since we want to meet the emperor and the general, we are Don¡¯t we also want to visit Luoyang and Bohai?¡±
"The prince only said that we should come to Chang'an." Boss Hu shook his head and did not explain much.
The guide suddenly interrupted: "Your Majesty and the general will come to Chang'an in the near future. Why? Because the empire will launch a large-scale campaign in the near future. How big will it be? Well, it is said that 50,000 hussars will be dispatched!"
"Fifty thousand?!"
Boss Hu was so frightened that he gasped and said: "When the Marquis of Xihai rebelled, the empire did not use so many counter-rebellion troops, right? This time they actually have to use 50,000 hussars? Who are they trying to deal with? In this world Are there any rivals out there who deserve the empire to do this?¡±
"Marquis of Xihai" was Yuan Tan's original title. Later, Yuan Tan retired and gave up his position to his younger brother Yuan Shang. The latter was an ambitious man, who was instigated by others and actually became rebellious!
He sent envoys to contact several surrounding princes, including: Yan Ranhou - Gao Jun, the son of Gao Gan, Dayuan Hou Ma Dai and other more than ten princes in the northwest, hoping to jointly send troops. Even if you can't, you still hope that the other party will remain neutral.
Except for Ma Dai who flatly refused and showed hostility, the other companies did not give an immediate reply, and the situation suddenly became delicate.
This is the change that happened twenty years ago, in the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan. It is the biggest crisis that Wang Yu has faced since he founded the country.
At that time, the Fenghuo Cavalry, led by Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, went to the Western Regions to fight against the Yuezhi at the request of Ma Chao, the Marquis of Pingxi. The Taishan Army participated in the pacification battle south of Jiaozhou.
Although Chang'an was guarded by Yu Jin and the Yulin Army, the Yulin Army was mainly infantry and had poor mobility. However, Gongsun Zan, who was strong enough to suppress Xihai, disarmed. Gongsun Xu was still handing over power, while Ma Chao and Zhao Yun attacked simultaneously. Yuezhi country.
It is difficult to defend Yuan Shang with the Yulin Army alone, and Chang'an is at its most empty.
Once Yuan Shang breaks into the Central Plains, it is likely to cause an extremely serious chain reaction. This is why several princes in the northwest are waiting and watching, wondering if they can take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie if Yuan Shang succeeds.
However, at critical moments, talented people stand out!
At that time, a group of students from the Military Academy were practicing at the border. Yu Jin, who was staying in Chang'an, sent someone to notify them, with the intention of letting them withdraw to a safe zone as soon as possible. As a result, the most prestigious among the students, 24-year-old Deng Ai, and the best-achieving 18-year-old Jiang Wei put forward completely opposite opinions.
?Two people to oneZhi believes that since Yuan Tan, the Xihai Territory has not used foreign troops for more than five years. Although the momentum is great, it is not something to be afraid of. If you let him continue struggling like this, it will easily disturb people's hearts and cause unexpected events.
Led by two people, 234 students, plus more than 4,000 armed caravans and city-side cavalry who joined along the way, carried out a three-thousand-mile assault.
Yuan Shang only focused on guarding against Ma Dai and did not expect that a cavalry force would come out from Liangzhou and was caught off guard. At Juyanhai, 5,000 Han troops defeated 100,000 Western Navy troops, and Jiang Wei's formation beheaded Yuan Shang, shocking the world.
After hearing the news, Gao Jun surrendered, and princes from all over the northwest went to Chang'an to plead guilty. Yuan Shang's ambition eventually led to the empire's reputation as a double wall.
Since then, there has been a proverb spread throughout the world: The Han army is no more than ten thousand, but if it exceeds ten thousand, it is invincible!
Suddenly I heard that the Han army was making a big move and was preparing to dispatch 50,000 hussars. This was simply shocking.
"It seems to be Rome or Persia, right?" the guide replied uncertainly. No matter how well-informed he is, he can only find out non-confidential information. Although this kind of national war-level military information may not be a high-level secret, it is not something that he can find out with his status.
"Anyway, in a few days, His Majesty and the General will hold a military oath-taking parade at Lingyan Pavilion outside Zhicheng Gate. You will know when you go and listen to it. Speaking of which, you guys are really lucky. The empire has not had a military parade for many years. Have you ever had such a grand event? There is no opponent in the world worthy of the Hussars fighting with all their strength."
¡¡
Wang Yu slowly walked up the steps of Lingyan Pavilion. Although it was not a big burden, it was definitely not possible to climb high and walk on flat ground like before.
Forty-five years have passed since the fourth year of Kaiyuan, when the world was unified. Calculated using the AD of later generations, it should be 235 years. Wang Yu, who was once a dragon and a tiger, is now nearly seventy years old and naturally no longer the same as before.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong who followed him were even worse. Both of them were panting and sweating like rain. They had to rest three times before finishing the more than 100 steps.
But no one thought about asking people to help them. The portraits enshrined in Lingyan Pavilion are all companions who shared life and death in those years. The portraits are all based on their most active periods. Each one is full of energy and high spirits.
¡°Both Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong did not want their former companions or competitors to see themselves in embarrassment.
Whenever you come to this place and see those familiar figures, you will have a trancelike feeling of going back in time. Because of nostalgia and because there are fewer and fewer old friends around him, Wang Yu and his important ministers are very nostalgic for this place.
The portrait of Cao Cao, the Marquis of Chenliu, is ranked last, 28th.
Although he worked hard for fifteen years, he finally passed away in the official office due to overwork. But after all, his identity and experience were there, and many people were unwilling to let him ascend to the throne, let alone be among the best. Although Wang Yu kept his words, he was not willing to force everyone's will, so he simply put him on the throne. Got the last one.
During Cao Cao¡¯s period, the Han Dynasty was in the midst of drastic social changes. Without Cao Cao¡¯s sophisticated skills, it might have taken ten more years to achieve similar results.
Of course, Zhuge Liang, who took over, was no worse than his predecessor, but after all, the former was still too young when Cao Cao was prime minister. Wang Yu didn't want this talented man to work too hard, but he never thought that Cao Cao actually blocked this disaster for Zhuge Liang.
That¡¯s why Wang Yu wrote the inscription on Cao Cao¡¯s portrait: ¡°I will do my best until I die.¡± But many people didn't understand the meaning, so Wang Yu could only entertain himself.
"It's a pity Gong Jin" Ranked twenty-seven is Zhou Yu, who is also a hero who does not belong to the founding period and whose status is somewhat embarrassing.
"If it weren't for Brother Gongjin, the development of Nanyang would not have progressed so quickly. If his heroic spirit is still here, he would definitely be smiling when he saw today's grand occasion." Zhuge Liang nodded and agreed.
Back then, he and Zhou Yu argued fiercely for twenty-four days in Jiangxia, and from then on they became in a mutually indifferent but competitive relationship. It was a period of passionate passion. The two competed and promoted each other, and both made further progress. Later, Zhou Yu died of a heart attack in Nanyang. The saddest person was Zhuge Liang.
When I saw my old friend¡¯s appearance, I felt sad for a moment.
Moving forward slowly, the eyes of the monarch and his ministers swept across the old faces.
Tian Feng, who also died due to overwork; Jia Xu, who was completely opposite to him, had been lazy for most of his life, and finally reached the age of eighty-six, almost becoming a god; Yu Jin and Xu Huang, who had guarded the border for forty years unwaveringly; because Huang Zhong, who refused to accept his old age and went into battle at the age of eighty, died in the war with the Persian Empire
Each portrait can evoke a memory, and the familiar voice, face, and smile are still before your eyes.
Wang Yu suddenly said with emotion: "Brother Yide's painting skills should be ranked among the masters of the world."
Zhuge Liang nodded and agreed: "Indeed, if Mrs. Cai had not held an art exhibition in Xuzhou, who would have thought that General Zhang would have lived in seclusion in Xuzhou for so many years and made a living from painting? And so did General Guan It's a pity that these two All the ambitions we had back then are gone, otherwise"
"Kong Ming is wrong." Pang Tong suddenly said: "Although Generals Guan and Zhang have no intention of fame, General Guan Er and General Zhang are not inferior to their fathers. They have also been the pillars of the Hussars Army in recent years."
Wang Yu smiled and nodded. He didn't bother to trace his old friends, even his enemies. Neither Liu Bei nor Sun Quan can threaten the security of the empire anymore. In this case, why not let them choose life again?
In fact, if you want to find Sun Quan, there are still clues.
In recent years, there is a novelist in Dongzhi who has become very popular. The satirical novels he wrote are insightful and can reach the depths of the soul.
What impressed Wang Yu the most was his novel called "Heaven and Earth", which tells the story of brothers who grew up relying on each other, but later turned against each other for various reasons. The younger brother killed his older brother, but the older brother did not fight back. Finally, the younger brother encountered great danger, but there was no one around him to rely on, so he said this: It would be great if the elder brother was still here After saying that, he jumped off the cliff.
¡°This may not be true,¡± Wang Yu thought.
When he reached the last ten portraits, Wang Yu stopped again, frowned and asked, "Where did Ziyi go again?"
Time has not affected Zhuge Liang's amazing memory at all. He replied without thinking: "My lord, do you still remember the dispute between the Marquis of Du Liao and the Marquis of Zhendong?"
"Well," Wang Yu's memory was much poorer in comparison. He thought for a moment before he found the relevant information in his memory, "Is it the incident where Chen Yuanlong and Gongsun Wenyi fought for Ezo Island? Ziyi When did that guy learn to mediate?¡±
"My lord is unaware of something." Pang Tong said with a smile: "Marquis Du Liao's plan to seize Ezo Island was not to expand the land. He just took a fancy to the location of Ezo Island and wanted to use it as a stepping stone to explore eastward."
"Xiangdong? That's not" Wang Yu was slightly surprised. To the east of Ezo Island, isn't that America? Although the development of the New World is a matter of time, it is really unexpected that it is put on the agenda now.
"General Ziyi is not there to mediate. He is very interested in the eastward crossing. For this reason, he specially roped in Wen Chang, Xun Yi and General Xing Ba, plus Yuan Zhi and Wen Gui. , Mrs. Taishi, the standards are quite high" Pang Tong is in charge of intelligence, and he is very familiar with the trends of all parties.
"I wonder why I haven't seen these guys recently." Wang Yu was slightly puzzled: "Forget about Xingba, Yuanzhi, Wengui, and Zhurong, the idiot in Xunyi, and the unprofitable one in Wenchang. Why would a guy who gets up early be willing to mess around with him?"
"Oh, I heard that during the Eastern Expedition, General Wen Chang promised that he would unconditionally agree to General Ziyi's request, so"
Wang Yu couldn't help but rolled his eyes and complained: "Ziyi is really far-sighted. The promise he made more than forty years ago" He shook his head: "Wen Chang has a really good character. It seems like this Does he have to go to the New World?"
Pang Tong nodded: "With the status of those few people, even if the Marquis of Zhendong wants Ezo Island, it is impossible to refuse their request, and the Marquis of Duliao has the style of his ancestors, and his enthusiasm for sailing is also very high. It must be irreversible.¡±
"Tai Shi Ci discovered the New World. Hey, it sounds really majestic. Let him do it." Wang Yu muttered to himself, and finally smiled with relief and said: "Kong Ming, you don't need to worry about manpower. Please try your best to satisfy them with all materials." Yes, Marquis Du Liao is really like his ancestors and is stingy."
"Yes." Zhuge Liang responded with a smile.
"Obviously, the Lord hopes that everyone will spend the last journey of their lives together, but others don't think so. It's like General Huang, who was already so old, but still wanted to fight on the front line.
Zhuge Liang knew very well that these people were not short of fame and wealth, they just simply did not want to die on the bed.
"My lord, it's almost time." Seeing that Wang Yu had reached the end, Pang Tong reminded him softly.
"Well," Wang Yu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Then let's get started!"
¡¡
Han Dynasty, the forty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, March 17, Chen time.
The tallest building in Chang'an City - Lingyan Pavilion, which honors the heroes and heroes of the founding of the People's Republic of China, is unparalleled in the world.The unknown hussar flag is rising slowly. Almost at the same time, war drums beat loudly, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians gathered outside the west gate, cheering heartily.
Wang Yu was used to such cheers. He just raised his hand slightly to signal, but looked at the city head under Huanglong's banner.
As if Wang Yu¡¯s gaze was felt, a slightly pale but graceful face appeared at the window. It was none other than Liu Xie, the emperor of the day. Seeing Wang Yu, the neglected emperor showed no trace of resentment or anger. He showed a smile as warm as the spring breeze and nodded slightly at Wang Yu.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the historical Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is completely different. In Luoyang, the imperial cultural center, he was like a duck in water, enjoying the glory, but also flexing his talents academically. He specializes in psychology and now has a formally certified academician degree.
The ground suddenly vibrated, exactly in line with the rhythm of the drums.
The cheers inside and outside the city paused for a moment, and then suddenly reached another level the next moment.
"The Han Dynasty is mighty, the generals are mighty, and the hussars are invincible!"
"The hussars are riding out of the fortress to show off our heroic glory!"
The Hussars are coming!
Fifty thousand-man phalanxes filed out from the city gate. In the lead was a knight, wearing red armor, holding a square-shaped halberd, and riding a charcoal-like war horse under his crotch. The whole person looked like Like a ball of fire.
In a daze, Wang Yu almost thought that he had turned back time and returned to the war-torn Luoyang. He was about to have a decisive battle with the invincible Marquis Lu Wen.
However, the shouts of his wife Lu Qiling came from downstairs. Wang Yu came back to his senses and realized that it was not the dead person who was resurrected, but his youngest son Wang Fengxian, who served as the vanguard general of the Eastern Expedition Army. Among his twelve sons, this son is the most brave. After all, Lu Bu's blood is flowing in his body, so it is not surprising that he is better than his predecessor.
"Twelve Lang! Twelve Lang! The most powerful Twelve Lang in the world!" The cheers became more rhythmic, and everyone shouted in unison. Although they were separated by one floor, Wang Yu still felt his wife's joy and relief.
Followed closely by was a neat phalanx of cavalry.
The cheers were much smaller this time, because the equipment of the iron cavalry was much different from before. It seemed to be closer to the light cavalry, and the iconic long lance was also missing. There is only a waist knife or chain hammer on the waist, and a strange weapon carried on the back.
That weapon looks like a repeating crossbow or something like that, but it¡¯s actually not. Even though the people in Guanzhong are fierce and there are many old soldiers who have fought in battle, no one knows what it is.
"It takes ten years to sharpen a sword, and one battle will determine the outcome." Pang Tong smiled lightly and said meaningfully: "The Roman and Persian officials are in trouble."
Wang Yu didn¡¯t answer, just smiled knowingly.
The weapon that changed the era finally appeared. Firearms, to be precise, are thermal weapons!
That is not a historical muzzleloader or flintlock gun, but a semi-automatic rifle made according to the standards of later generations! After ten years of sharpening a sword, I just don¡¯t want to show off my trump card before encountering a truly powerful enemy. You must know that in war, science and technology are very interoperable. If the two Western powers are prepared in advance, this battle will It's hard to fight.
In terms of national strength, the Han Dynasty is naturally far superior to the enemy, but the long distance is a trouble. Even if considerable supplies can be transported by sea, it will be a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, the first blow is the soldier¡¯s strongest blow! Let the Romans, who have entered the era of centralization and lost their vitality and enterprising spirit, tremble under the hail of bullets from the Han army!
As more and more squares came out, the onlookers finally discovered that that strange-shaped weapon was almost common in the entire army. Needless to say, it must be a new weapon.
At this moment, a flag jumped out, arousing everyone's enthusiasm.
"The Great General of Shangzhu Kingdom!"
"The ever-growing Changshan Zhao Zilong!"
"Two pictures on the left and right!"
"Empire double walls!"
The head coach of this Western Expedition was Zhao Yun, and his lieutenants were Zhang Jia and Zhang Liao. Deng Ai and Jiang Wei joined the army, plus a group of rising stars such as Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Cao Zhang, Wang Shuang, Ding Feng, Xia Houba, etc. The lineup was luxurious. Not at all inferior to the group of people going to the New World.
Wang Yu didn¡¯t want Zhao Yun and Er Zhang to take action. After all, he was old. What would he do if something went wrong? But just as Taishi Ci was unwilling to be lonely, Zhao Yun and others were also martyrs in their twilight years and still had great ambitions. Wang Yu could not pour cold water on them, so he had to let nature take its course.
¡°If a mountain is in front of you, it will fall!
If the abyss is in front of you, the abyss will collapse!
The great Han hussar is the strongest in the world!
The great Han Dynasty is fierce and invincible! "
The war horns that shook the earth rose into the sky. This was the soldiers paying tribute to their supreme leader.
Amidst the sound, Wang Yu raised his eyes and looked west, and there seemed to be a heroic scene in front of him.
He knew that 50,000 lions would leave the Jade Gate in the west and join forces with various princes in the Western Region Corridor. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses will draw an arc on the map, with the Hussars as the leader, sweeping westward!
Not to mention that Rome is no longer the republic that can defeat the famous general Hannibal. Even if it is, Westerners cannot stop the elite division of the Han Dynasty. Persia, which bullied the weak and feared the strong, could only tremble under the iron hoofs of the Han army.
After this battle, the Han civilization was no longer able to resist, and a glorious era had begun!
¡¡
Wang Yu, who was immersed in his grand plans and strategies, did not realize that there was a small commotion in the crowd. An old shepherd slave suddenly collapsed, with an unprecedented look of relief on his face.
No one cares too much. There are so many old people who die of excitement when they reach the foot of Shenjing and witness the weather of the Celestial Dynasty. In one year, there are not only one thousand, but also eight hundred. Who cares?
Maybe he was frightened to death after seeing the might of the army. Should we blame the brave soldiers?
Do not make jokes.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
The most powerful soldier in the Three Kingdoms
