Chapter 273 - The Complete History of Cangfeng
This is more pale-colored than a direct loud reprimand, who doesn't know that there are at least 40,000 defenders in the ancient city of Jing northeast of Beijindu?
However, there are not many town defense facilities in Beijindu, and if the Tiance army of Jinggu City attacks Beijindu, the remaining 20,000 defenders in Beijindu will definitely be difficult to resist.
Everyone bowed their heads, for fear that they would be named to assist in guarding Beijindu.
Zhong Qixi's face had changed from his previous horror to his usual face, and he bent down towards Shangguan Moucheng: "Yes, Xiaguan will go to Beijindu to dispatch the army." ”
"Hmm. ”
Shangguan Moucheng kept looking at Zhong Qixi until his back disappeared. Almost all of the Shangguan people below lowered their heads, and only a few of them either secretly looked up to observe Shangguan Moucheng's face and then quickly lowered their heads, or looked directly at Shangguan Moucheng with clear eyes like a teacher.
"General Division, you lead your original subordinates to the west to devour the city first. Before tonight, 80,000 reinforcements from Beijindu will definitely arrive. If you don't take the West Devouring City before the 100,000 troops are lost, or if you don't take the West Devouring City within two days, the master of this family will need your master's head to comfort the heroic souls who stormed the West Devouring City!"
"If you don't capture the city of the West within two days, you don't need to take the initiative of your family, and the last general will take the sword to attack the city and die under the city of the West Eater. ”
The others did not fall into the well again, Shangguan Moucheng's attitude was a little weird, and it was wise to protect himself with a clear mind.
......
Half of Cangfeng's territory is grassland, and half is mountainous and hilly. As a result of these two landforms, two civilizations emerged, one nomadic and the other agricultural.
Nomadism is more limited by the terrain, and can support 30 percent of the total population of Cangfeng, while agriculture naturally accounts for the remaining 70 percent.
However, most of the Cangfeng clans are families in the grassland area, and even if some of the clansmen are now in the farming area, tracing back to their origins, many can find that they are inextricably linked to the grassland area.
If you want to dig deeper, you can get a glimpse of it from the grassland area from the Cangfeng Imperial Family.
Cangfeng therefore has two capitals, the one in the farming area is the heavenly capital, and the nomadic area is the ancient capital. From the two capitals, or regions, there are two factions, one is the grassland system, and the other is the farming system, but they generally say the heavenly capital and the ancient capital.
The two capitals have palaces and hundreds of officials and so on, and the two capitals are only the emperor away, and only the emperor can start doing things immediately when he arrives.
The officials and wealthy families of Tiandu advocate Guangwu culture, economy and system, and want to "master the art of razing to control the raze". The officials and wealthy families of the ancient capital believed that their soldiers were brave and could already defeat Guangwu, and they did not need to learn the system of defeated generals under their subordinates, and the struggle between the two sides had never stopped, either openly or covertly, for hundreds of years.
However, because of the difference in ideology between the two parties, due to the geographical distance and the fact that they belonged to the Tiandu court and the ancient capital court respectively, the intersection between the two sides was not deep, so there was no direct conflict.
The Cangfeng royal family either wanted to reconcile the struggle between the two sides, or as the world said, the summer was extremely hot and needed to go to the ancient capital to escape the heat, and in the winter, the ancient capital was cold and windy, and it was necessary to warm up all the days.
Since the beginning of the Cangfeng Dynasty, the Cangfeng royal family and some officials will have a migration every spring and autumn, the specific date is similar, spring from the capital to the ancient capital, autumn from the ancient capital back to the capital.
Of course, the formation of the imperial family cannot be called migration, and the official name is "hunting".
The so-called hunting, that is, hunting, and the people of the ancient capital had this habit.
There are three official roads between the two capitals, which are specially excavated for "hunting".
The West Road is called - the patrol road, there are 343 post stations, and each post station is 20 miles apart.
The middle road is called - the middle road of the town, and there are 257 post stations.
The host is called - You Tiandao, there are 618 post stations.
From the above, it can be seen that the farthest road is the East Road You Tiandao, and the closest is the Zhenzhong Road. Naturally, if you want to go back and forth between the two capitals as soon as possible, you will generally take the middle road of the town.
However, what the emperor needs to walk the hunting road is not speed, what he needs is to be able to "sympathize with the people's feelings".
No, it took half a month, and he and his clansmen and accompanying officials finally walked through the Heavenly Road and entered the Heavenly Capital.
The officials of Tiandu not only decorated the whole city with joy, but also led tens of thousands of soldiers to greet the people on the road, and the scene was not spectacular.
"Welcome back to the city. ”
The overwhelming shouts spread throughout the city. Not to mention the people who are doing things, even the people who are still sleeping lazily have been woken up, and everyone knows that they are returning.
However, they were not called to meet them, and they quickly buried themselves in their own business.
Twice a year, they're used to it.
The wide sedan chair at the front, which can accommodate six adults walking side by side, has two rows of dressed palace maids on each side of the door, and three people each.
The door of the car was covered by two pieces of golden silk, and there was a smaller railing on the outside of the beams pasted with golden silk, on which there was a fiery red rope at intervals of the same distance, a total of thirty-nine, the same age as the one who was this year.
On the fiery red rope, there is a pearl of the same length that shines brightly but not dazzling in the autumn sun, and the bead gradually grows larger from top to bottom, and when it reaches the bottom bead, there are thirty-nine in total.
A slender and awkward long shout came from the sedan chair: "Open the yellow curtain-"
The palace maids on both sides of the car door are closest to the car door and hold the top outer side of the yellow curtain that is higher than them, the middle women hold the middle of the yellow curtain, and the outermost palace maid bends down to hold the bottom of the yellow curtain.
Without the need for a command, they lifted the yellow curtain in unison.
A pale face, wearing a cyan robe, and a beard, led four eunuchs out.
He stared at the sky and was distracted, and it was not until a slender leaf that drifted from nowhere fell on his face that he slowly came back to his senses.
"Let's all be flat. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
Glancing around, he turned around and returned to the sedan chair: "Go back to the palace." ”
The four eunuchs who were still outside sounded in unison again, as if they were pinched in their throats: "Move the sedan chair palace." ”
The party went straight to the imperial city, although it was already early, and it was past the time of the early dynasty, but without the early dynasty, you can go to the middle court, if the time is later, you can also go to the evening court, as long as you need to, it is okay.
When he walked into the palace - Gonglian Palace, the hundred officials of the heavenly capital had been waiting for a long time.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live. ”
"Everyone loves to be flat. ”
"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”
After he sat down, he habitually looked to the front on the right, where there was an empty chair, and it was also the only chair in the Gonglian Hall except for the chair he was sitting on, and there were countless emotions in his eyes.
The eyes of everyone in the court are very fine, and they are quietly paying attention to his every move, and when they see his eyes, the expressions below are different.
The most excited were the military attaches on the right, a general about forty years old stood in the center of the hall: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to play." ”
"Speak. ”
"There are too many hidden facts in Lord Huang's case that have not been clarified, and I hope that Your Majesty will not judge the case first, so as not to cause misfortune to Cangfeng!"
There are also officials on the left who walked out of the queue and bowed down: "Lord Huang is the pillar of the country, the first battle of Guangwu Liaodong Prefecture, Lord Huang has made great contributions, and at this time he is guilty of punishment, I am afraid that he is suspected of ingratitude, and it is difficult to explain to the people of the world!"
"Everything Lord Huang has done over the years, everything can be seen in his loyalty, and I hope Your Majesty will investigate it carefully!"
"I have made up my own mind about Huang Hexuan's case, is there anything else important?"
No one spoke below, so he got up directly, and the hundred officials below were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly knelt down: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
Standing behind the chairs, several eunuchs who were usually responsible for shouting court etiquette weakened their knees, fell to their knees, and trembled.
Fortunately, he walked past them and did not punish them.
......
A carriage not unlike the carriage of ordinary officials ran out of the east gate of the palace and galloped along the road of Tantu.
As the distance from the palace became farther and farther away, the houses on both sides of the avenue rapidly decreased, and at about ten miles from the palace, the houses on both sides of the avenue disappeared without a trace.
Obviously, it is still in the capital, but the towering trees and desolate scenes on both sides of the avenue make people wonder if this is still in the city.
After passing through a stone forest, a cliff wall appeared in front of it, and in front of the cliff was a building that looked like a huge iron pot that had been turned over and covered the ground.
After approaching, it turned out that outside the black main building, there were two or so wooden pillars of about three zhang interspersed, and each wooden pillar required four adults to hug each other.
On either side of the pillar was a soldier, dressed in black and red.
When the carriage was still five feet away from the wooden pillar, the soldiers on the left and right waved their spears, and there was a commotion all around.
They were silent, only the bloodthirsty eyes watched the carriage silently.
The carriage stopped, and two men in gray robes drove the carriage, one running to the soldier blocking the road, and the other standing on the side of the carriage.
Out of the carriage was a cyan robed man, his whole body shrouded in a robe like a gray robe.
He stepped out of the carriage, and the soldiers in front of him had returned to their positions.
Raised his feet and walked towards the building, his looming eyes sweeping around.
The wooden pillar has four sides, and the color is also black, and on each side is carved a god who is two or three adults in size, or the demon god is more appropriate.
They either open their teeth and claws, or their eyes are split, or they are staring like Lingling, and every expression of expression is the dark side of people.
In addition, the wooden pillars where they are located gather in the middle as the main building goes up and down, and the demon god standing outside, the action made by the demon god in front of him is to wave the weapon in his hand, making a gesture to swing over. Standing inside, the demon god seemed to bend down and look down, laughing maniacally, his eyes full of mockery and contempt.
Their demeanor is so profound and moving, if an ordinary person in their right mind is here, at most half a month, they will either be crazy or crazy.
There is a high probability that he will become a madman, because he is too depressing. And in the midst of depression, the red color on the face of the demon god that makes the demon god come to life will make people collapse.
It wasn't until I was only two feet away from the main body of the black building that I saw that there was a door in front of me, and it was still open.
It's just that because the door panels and passages are also black, even if the distance is only five feet, the mystery is still not discovered.
The three of them walked into the passage, and the passage was only three people walking together, and only such a wide passage was perverted that there was a soldier every ten paces.
They may not have been soldiers, for they were not dressed in armor, hats, etc., like soldiers, but in loose robes and carrying a long sword.
The three of them walked by, and the eyes of those people did not blink, like stone sculptures that were too realistic for people to mistake for people.
Walking inside, it felt that the passage had always been flat, but after a quarter of an hour of progress, a passage appeared in front of them, and from the small window next to the entrance of the passage where they stood, looking out, their carriage was more than ten zhang away, and their height was already several zhang higher than the carriage.
