In the past, the beacon fire was ignited, even in the hinterland of Mayi, and in Shanyang City, where there was a place in the clouds in front of it, it was also a scene of Zhang Huang.

At that time, the herald cavalry will be constantly sent out to keep in touch with the land in the clouds, and to find out the movements of the Turkic army at any time. The people were also immediately requisitioned, and they formed teams to march to Yunzhong City in batches to replenish grain and military supplies to Yunzhong City.

There is also a rumor to ride to the east of the river, crowded in the road, a county east of the river is the rear of the counties on the edge of the border. At this time, no matter how many Turkic military horses there were, they first asked for soldiers and horses, materials, and various things from Hedong.

And Shanyang's Mayi Yingyang Mansion was also mobilized at the same time to repair the city defenses, and formed a capable battalion from the usual regimental square, waiting to be ordered to set off at any time to participate in the war.

And the curfew in the city immediately began, and the military villages around Shanyang City also immediately began to accept the people from all over the city who had moved to avoid the Turkic soldiers. While these evacuees were protected by the Yingyang Mansion in Mayi, they also had to work hard, either to transport supplies for the people, or to repair the fortifications, dig trenches, and die of exhaustion every day.

Once the Turkic cavalry was strong, the land in the clouds did not entangle them, allowing them to break through to the area of the Sangan River Valley. That Shanyang City will be even more tense, needless to say, the curfew of the whole city, all the people Ding Zhuang must be organized into a group, or on the city wall, or on the wall of the wall day and night, everyone with a bow, waiting for the Turkic iron cavalry to attack!

In the years after the rise of the Turks, such days were lived in the border areas. The people of the frontier land live and fight here. This kind of day has become a habit.

But this time the beacon fire was burning in winter, and everything was very different from before.

There was no curfew in the city, and the military fortress was not open. The materials and grains were still constantly collected and stored in Shanyang City, and there was not a single grain, and an arrow was sent towards Cloud City. And although the soldiers and horses of the Yingyang Mansion of Mayi do not live in the south in the ice and snow, even the beggars of Shanyang City know that these soldiers and horses are all going to deal with Yunzhong City, not preparing to fight the Turks!

In Shanyang City, everything is as usual, Sui Shi was in Luoyang, Chang'an, and there was already a very large-scale restaurant. Although the family still only held a banquet in their own home, they were ashamed to eat together with the Hanmen. However, these are not from a family, and have achieved a certain status under the rule of two generations of emperors of the Sui Dynasty, and the family cannot afford to build a garden, and cannot afford to raise too many servants and maids, or gradually formed the atmosphere of going to this kind of restaurant to drink and feast.

Seonyang Castle is the seat of Mayi County, so naturally it has learned about this latest trend.

In Shanyang City, there has never been a famous family, although this restaurant is very crude, people in the capital are afraid of humming out of their nostrils, but the business seems to be much better than those big restaurants in Luoyang, Chang'an.

The restaurant is located on the main street of Shanyang City, which is north-south and about 15 or 6 steps wide. The three-storey restaurant stands tall and is already a rare spectacular scene in the borderland.

Above the third floor, there are large houses, which are used for drinking and feasting. At the moment, even if it is a restaurant, it is still a separate seat system. Several cases are scattered and arranged, and one room after another is fully furnished.

At this moment, on the third floor, every room is noisy and lively, and the rooms are full, and the sound of Hulu urging wine is boiling to the sky. Groups of orchid singers waited on the second floor, waiting for the call, and as long as the guests in the house were called, they would go in for a round of singing and dancing, and persuade them to drink for a tour.

The sound of the pipa and the hugs came from the houses, and there were random bursts of applause. Even if you look out from the three-story house, the wolf smoke in the beacon tower on the snow-capped mountain is still rising towards the sky, but the liveliness here has not diminished slightly!

Everyone knows that the end of the Great Sui has arrived, and what follows is an unknown number of years of melee fighting until the last winner is decided. It is also very likely that there will be no winner, but the Hu tribe of the northern steppe will take advantage of the situation and roar south, repeating the bloody chaos of the past hundreds of years.

The boundless darkness is about to come again. If you don't indulge in drinking and carnival at this time, when will you wait?

In the largest room on the third floor, the banquet was at its most lively. The view here is also the best, open the warm curtain to shelter from the wind, you can see the snow-covered mountains under the good sun, and the wolf smoke burning on the mountains.

But the drinkers did not look out more, but only shouted to persuade the drinkers. In the open space in the middle of several cases, several singers were speeding around. These singers are all of Cypriot blood, with high noses and deep eyes, and fair skin. The clothes on his body are thin, and he is covered in sweat because of his hard work singing and dancing, and there is no temptation.

The door of the house suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a square-necked curved green shirt over his leather robe hurried in, and the cold wind penetrated, making everyone turn their heads.

The middle-aged man in the green shirt was full of smiles, but he just arched his hand: "It's late, it's late, it's guilty." ”

The host of the banquet who was the first to feast, who also looked like a chivalrous man in the city, jumped up, stepped forward to take the middle-aged man and introduced to everyone: "Duke Chu is the judge of the county government, and all matters in the county government must be handled in his hands. The most important thing is that the king and the county are trustworthy, and today they appreciate their faces, and they are full of brilliance! ”

After introducing this Duke of Chu, this big man smiled and blamed him: "Duke Chu, I personally delivered the post to the house seven days ago, and I was replied that it would come on time, but why is it too late today?" ”

After listening to this big man's introduction to his identity, Gong Chu had a little more arrogance on his face. Although he is just a judge of the county government, he is just a small official in charge of miscellaneous affairs, and there are other drivers on it, and there are various bosses of Sima. But he already looks like a great man.

At the moment, he just smiled and said lightly: "I am entangled in everything, and I really can't be idle." Tomorrow, the Tang Guogong Erlang will enter Shanyang, all these reception matters are responsible for my responsibility, this time with the Li family Erlang into Shanyang, and the prince of the county, everyone knows that the prince is a picky, the matter in his hand is a little, and he will rush to come, it is really not that he does not give Lang Jun face, and please forgive the sin. ”

The big man's eyes widened: "Li Jiaerlang is coming tomorrow?" ”

This sentence was very loud and alarmed everyone present. Someone immediately waved his hand, stopped the music, and told the orchid to retreat. watched the big man lead Chu Gong to take a seat.

That Chu Gong was not polite, he took his seat proudly, looked around at everyone, but smiled silently.

Everyone is full of thoughts, and everyone here is a person with little wealth in the city. Although in the eyes of the family, they are all lowly to the mud, and they will not glance at it with their eyes. But these characters still want to find a way out in this troubled world, at least to keep the little bit of industry that one or two generations of their families have borrowed.

Today's feast is actually for the purpose of discussing contingencies. Otherwise, how could he spend a lot of money and ask this Duke of Chu to come and find out the inside story?

But Chu Gong didn't speak, and everyone didn't want to ask anything. In the end, it was the big man who asked: "What is the plan of the county prince now?" ”
