Chapter 125: Grandpa Tang (1)

In November, the morning in the Northwest was marked by severe frost, morning fog and cold temperatures. But on this morning misty morning, on the official road leading to Qinzhou, there was a team singing war songs.

"Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, Sunset Yunsha Ancient Battlefield, Golden Hundred Battles Wear Gold Armor, Don't Break Loulan and Swear Not to Return!" Hundreds of years ago, Wang Changling's military march was once again sung along the ancient Wei River.

The familiar tone immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

So, when the morning fog gradually dissipated, people saw a strange procession wearing red robes, leather armor, and a bag on their backs, full of bags, tightly dressed, and with a long knife at their waists, along the official road on the bank of the Wei River, all the way south.

They are said to be eccentric because the dress of this team is surprisingly uniform and standard.

This is really rare in the Great Song Dynasty.

Except for the upper four armies in Bianjing, I am afraid that few troops can meet this standard.

As for this northwest border, the one who can do this is the army of Shiheng, and I am afraid that there is no such capital.

What's even more weird to look at is their mental state.

One thing that is well known is that the army of the Great Song Dynasty, except for the time of pay, was generally demoralized.

In particular, the morale of those troops who were ordered to be stationed in other places or to change their guards simply fell to the bottom.

However, this team marched all the way, singing the military songs and poems of the Tang Dynasty all the way, with high morale and a prosperous military appearance.

Thousands of troops, acting in unison, in complete formation.

This inevitably reminds people of the situation decades ago, when Cao Wei, a famous Song general stationed in Qinzhou, was there.

So much so that when an old man saw this situation, he almost exclaimed: "Could it be that the official family sent Cao Shizhong back?" ”

When Cao Wei was on the border, the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty was as stable as Mount Tai.

Whether it is the Tubo people or the party members, they all obediently obey the orders of the Great Song Dynasty and dare not have the slightest infringement on the border people of the Great Song Dynasty.

It's like now, the soldiers are in danger, and the beacons are in flames.

So people came out of their homes and gathered on the side of the road to watch the procession coming from a distance.

They saw two ceremonial guards.

Those who are literate immediately read it: "The Imperial Song Dynasty Tianzhang Pavilion servant, Qin ordered Qin Fenglu Ma Bujun to be in charge of Gao ......"

"The envoy of the imperial city of the Emperor Song Dynasty, the commander of the grenadier army, the envoy of the Chunfang affairs, and the commander of Qinzhou ordered the capital of Qinzhou to govern Liu ......"

"It turned out to be a master from Bianjing...... someone laughed, the laughter was full of ridicule and helplessness, who doesn't know, the old soldier from Bianjing, except for his good looks, is nothing else?

Just as these people were teasing, the team, from a distance, also walked in front of them.

Just in an instant, all the ridicule disappeared.

Because, everyone can clearly see the military appearance and mental state of this team.

The burly figure is like a giant, and the shortest soldier is probably more than six feet.

The leather armor he wore was wiped clean, and although the military boots under his feet were stained with mud, there was not a trace of wrinkles.

The red robe on the back is bright and eye-catching.

The pace of these soldiers was almost the same, so every step out of the country was a tight fit.

What's more, they completely ignored the eyes of the people around them.

As if no one existed, they sang their war songs and marched forward.

During the whole process, not a single soldier deviated from the team, and no one was distracted by the outside world.

This is not at all forbidden!

When was the military discipline of the Great Song Forbidden Army so good?

Countless people have questions.

It must be known that in these years, the soldiers and bandits are a family.

In particular, the military discipline of those troops who have been transferred from other places and stationed in them is simply impossible to look at directly.

Even if it is along the border, the department of the Chongshiheng Division, which is known for its strict military discipline, will inevitably rob the people's daughters and rob the goods of merchants when they change their guards.

But now, there is a force that treats outsiders as nothing, has strict military discipline, and seems to be extremely strong.

"Is it the Fourth Army?" Some of the more knowledgeable people questioned.

At this time, several nearby feudal lords heard the rumors, and also brought their subordinates to watch and investigate.

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insiders look at the doorway.

The Qinzhou region, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, has been a place where the Han and the feudal people lived.

Even, at one time, the number of people in the domain here was far more than that of the Han Chinese.

And these clans, everyone has it.

There are not only Tibetan people, but also party members, and even Qiang people.

Compared with their relatives in Qingtang and Yinxia, there is no difference between these people except for the high degree of sinicization.

The Song court also relied on these feudal tribes, who were familiar with bows and horses, and were good at conquest, and often sent their troops to participate in wars.

Naturally, these feudal heroes are all knowledgeable soldiers.

"It's weird!" A forty-year-old feudal hero, riding on a horse, looked at the team from a distance, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Yes...... It's weird...... another Haoqiang whispered next to him: "The Great Song Dynasty official army has never had such a ...... troops"

"It stands to reason that such an officer and army should at least have a horse ...... everyone."

The Great Song Dynasty lacks horses, but this is only relative to the whole country.

Here along the border, there are many elite cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty.

Ren Fu, Ge Huaimin, and Zhao Xun of Jingyuan Road, and Chong Shiheng and Di Qing of Huanqing Road, all of whom are famous generals of the official army, all have an elite cavalry.

And the team in front of them, in terms of individual soldier quality, overall momentum, and mental outlook, is far superior to the so-called elite along the border.

To be reasonable, they should be the best source of cavalry.

However, this force is on foot.

What's even more strange is that if the average officer army is an infantry army, such an elite army, everyone should be a marksman.

But they didn't carry a bow or a crossbow.

Instead, he was carrying a strange bag on his back.

"Imperial Song Dynasty Imperial City Envoy, Grenadier Army Commander Envoy, Zhichun Fang Affairs Liu ......" A young man looked at the guard of honor from afar, and read out this strange title, he was a scholar in the domain, and he was determined to be admitted to the Jinshi, so he had studied the official system of the Great Song Dynasty, and reading this title, he suddenly screamed: "Zhichun Fang...... Zhichunfang ...... It's the future of Grandpa Tang! ”

Rumble!

All the people of the clan exploded.

"What did you say?"

"Chunfang, is the residence of the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and now that the Great Song Dynasty has not established a prince, who else can live in the Spring Fang, except for the grandfather of Tang Wang, the heir of the medicine master Wang Bodhisattva who personally taught the supreme holy law?" The young man said excitedly: "I have long heard that Grandpa Tang has a minister surnamed Liu, who is the son of the former Duke of Rongguo. Yun Wen Yun Wu, loyal and ......"

"Now, on the plaque of the guard of honor, it is clearly written: the envoy of the imperial city of the Song Dynasty, the commander of the grenadier army, and the commander of the Qinzhou ......."

"Besides the general under the throne of Grandpa Tang, who else could it be?"

As a result, all the feudal heroes trembled, and all the previous incomprehensions and questions had answers at this moment - these soldiers must be the elite trained by Grandpa Tang himself, and the Vajra Arhat who protects the Dharma and defends the way!

Grandpa Tang Wang, who was taught the supreme holy law by the pharmacist Wang Bodhisattva, blessed the people, and planted pox to solve problems, is now in the domain along the four roads, and everyone knows it.

Even the Tubo Zampu of the Qingtang Dynasty personally sent his son to the grandfather of the Tang Dynasty to listen to lectures and teach.

Where can this matter be faked?

You know, Zampu is a son of a Buddha, a living Buddha.

Such people must be willing, trembling, and devout, and send envoys to bow down and send their sons to listen to them.

What does this mean? There is no doubt about it.

Therefore, these devout Buddhist vassals immediately took the troops respectfully to meet the team, and then everyone knelt respectfully to the side of the road, saying: "Grass people, foreign ministers, respectfully ask the grandfather of the Tang Dynasty to bow ......"

There are even people who burn incense and pray on the roadside, chanting words.

And the powerful actions of these feudal clans immediately attracted the attention of other people.

When the people inquired, they were also stunned.

"Grandpa Tang Wang? Grandpa Tang Wang! ”

So, the news that Grandpa Tang sent a minister to Qinzhou immediately spread out, but after half a day, the whole Qinzhou knew about it.

When this team arrived at the outskirts of Qinzhou City in the afternoon of the same day.

The merchants, the common people and the nearby peasants of the entire Qinzhou region all dragged their families and waited at the gate of the city.

Inside and out, there are crowds of people.

Gao Ruone and Liu Yongnian were a little overwhelmed when they saw this situation.
