Chapter 359: There is no battle in Xiongguan, and the fortress is full of merchants
The Northwest soldiers are strong and strong, and the soldiers who have won the battle are like rainbows, and they patted their chests and assured after listening to Yang Lin's words.
Yang Lin is also a little determined in his heart, at least he has confidence in a battle for the generals, at this time in history, there are almost no people in the Song army who want to fight.
When Tong Guan conquered Liao, all the soldiers only wanted to return to their hometown in Shaanxi as soon as possible, and did not want to go hungry in Hebei and Hedong.
This also led to the fiasco of the Battle of Liao, which gave the army of the Great Song Dynasty a reputation for not being able to defeat the Khitan soldiers who were on the verge of extinction.
In fact, the soldiers had no will to fight, and they would have the heart to retreat, Tong Guan and the generals of the Western Army fought endlessly, and the orders issued were first aimed at weakening the dissidents in their own army.
Seeing that friendly troops are surrounded, they choose to watch the fire from the other side, and who fights such a bad battle is like that, and it has little to do with the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
The Land of Hidden Clouds, which was ceded from the time of the Tang Gang's demise, can no longer wait until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to take it back.
After the banquet was dispersed, the generals withdrew from the courtyard satisfied, since some of them fought, they had military merits, who didn't know that they would not be taken as military merit if they followed Yang Shaozai to fight.
How many brothers in the Western Army have been fighting hard for many years and can't get out, and they followed Yang Shaozai to fight Fang La and Tubo, and now they are generals with soldiers and horses.
The most obvious example is that the rotten gambling stick splashed Han Wu, and now he seems to be on an equal footing with several Xuan Shuai.
Yang Lin's residence occupies two courtyards on Yanmen Long Street, and the bluestone pavement in front of the door is rolled out by wheels into two half-foot-deep ruts.
Countless soldiers and horses came in and out of it, and were transferred to various places in the northwest, and people from all over the country came to inquire.
In this operation, everyone doesn't even know who the enemy is, whether it is the Khitan who occupies the land of clouds, or the newly rising strong enemy Jurchen.
Yang Lin comforted him one by one, and then sent someone to Datong Mansion to inform Yelu Yanxi that he was going to see him soon.
Now that Yelu Yanxi is shouting every day to vote for Song, he will obviously welcome himself, and he really can't figure out that there is such a strange emperor.
He sits on the strongest empire in the world, and he led 700,000 people to suppress the rebellion of small tribes, which is strange enough. As a result, after losing the battle, his courage was lost, and he shouted every day to defect to neighboring countries, and there were still millions of soldiers and horses in his country, and the huge territory spanning the east and west, in his eyes, it was better to go to Bianliang to enjoy happiness.
This guy is worthy of being a peerless man with Zhao Ji, Yang Lin is willing to call him Xiao Zhao Ji in his heart. I hope that my efforts this time can make this pair of friends no longer need to make friends in the city of the Five Kingdoms, it is better to go to Bianliang to get acquainted.
Song Jiang sent people from Xiazhou to ask if he wanted to continue to provoke the Khalkhanian Dynasty, Yang Lin only had one sentence: The war in the east has nothing to do with you, Song Liaojin has turned the sky upside down, and he will not transfer a single soldier or horse from you, you just take the Xizhou Uighurs, the Kerebu, the Tubo people and the Dangxiang people to destroy the Khalhan.
If the east-west trade route is not opened for a day, these Isilans will monopolize the trade routes, sit on the ground, and make countless money in vain.
If you get through it a day early, make money early, and get through it a month early, maybe all the money spent this time will come back.
Standing on the tall building in the courtyard, Yang Lin looked at the scenery of Yanmen, this Xiongguan fortress that had experienced at least a thousand wars, and now it has become a different appearance in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty.
Because of the opening of the tea and horse trade route, the Khitan and Han people in Yingzhou could also trade across the border.
The northwestern border is becoming more and more prosperous, and the streets are lined with all kinds of shops.
Some sell silk brocades, some are full of pearls and jade ornaments, and some are grain shops in a row.
Women's shawls, embroidered straps, and even bandeau tops are displayed in the clothing store, with delicate embroidery glittering in the sun. Large and small liquor shops are dotted around, crowded with merchants from afar.
Unlike Bianliang in the mainland, most of the people in charge of selling in the northwest are young women, who are bold and intelligent, and their attitudes are neither cold nor pretendedly enthusiastic.
The bustling crowd shuttles through the streets and alleys of Yanmen, shouting, bargaining, singing and storytelling by street artists, laughter and cheers of onlookers...... Together.
Occasionally, a large group of soldiers and horses would walk along the road, and the pedestrians along the way would give way, and when they passed, they would return to their original state. After all, there are more than 100,000 troops stationed here, and everyone has long been surprised. There are even many shops that are specially opened for soldiers, selling some leather armor and horse harnesses and the like.
The cars and horses on the road, and the pace of pedestrians are much faster than elsewhere, all of which give people a vibrant impression.
Yang Lin's eyes were meaningful, looking at this scene of the street, some poems suddenly appeared in his mind.
"The snow flutters open the wild goose gate, and the flat sand calendar rolls up the roots."
"In the past, I heard that there was a county in the clouds, but today there are no clouds and no sand."
"The wind blows the leaves and the wild goose gate in autumn, and the smoke and dust are faint."
...
Since ancient times, there is only a place to fight, but there is no place to fight, even if Yanmen is good, as long as it is strong enough, it can still become a happy land for the people to live in peace.
This is still the scenery of Yanmen, and it is really in Xiazhou, Xingzhou and other places that it is called a prosperous place.
At the beginning, Yang Lin thought that the Loulan and Gaochang described in the textbook were exaggerated, but in fact they were not weaker than Jiangnan.
The complementary markets of two different cultures contain infinite potential, which is far from being comparable to the inland's own production and self-consumption.
Back in the inner room, Zhehuanxiang had already taken people out for a walk, and she was wearing a Hufu with the style of the Western Regions.
The slender jade neck is surrounded by a fox fur collar, and a ruby is embedded in the neck; Exposed snow-white shoulders and collarbones on both sides. A silver-white embroidered long skirt hangs from the waist, revealing the curve of the waist.
Yang Lin's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered a word, and exclaimed: "Isn't this what the ancients said about living color?" ”
Looking at Yang Lin's gaze, Mrs. Yao smiled proudly, came with a cup of tea, and said, "Jingzhao Mansion sent someone to pick them up, what do you say?" ”
Yang Lin took the tea, slapped her on the buttocks, and said, "You just say, don't go back, Yang Shaozai hasn't played enough with me." ”
Wang Ba punched Yang Lin's body, although it was soft, it still made Yang Lin keep telling forgiveness: "Okay, okay, do you want to go back, if you don't want to go back, I'll find a way." ”
"You're bad, wrongdoer, you're really bad to the bone." Zhe Huanxiang's face was flushed, and he scolded with shame and disgust, and after speaking, he leaned on his shoulder, hugged Yang Lin's neck, and said with a smile: "I won't go back, people will go to Datong with you." ”
A few little maids in the room couldn't stand the rape of 1 husband, 1 adulterant and 1 woman, and they lowered their heads and blushed and spitted without a face, pretending that they couldn't hear it.
