It seems that the person is polite and gentle, Zhou Nan can't help but feel good, and politely said, "Cai is waiting for a small courtesy." In the south of the next week, I saw Cai to be made. ”

  The official beside Cai Yan also gave a salute and said: "Wu Shi, the deputy envoy and a member of the Zhongshu House, has seen the horse. ”

  Zhou Nan hurriedly invited the two into the living room to sit down, greeted each other, and said some itinerary along the way, Cai Yan asked about the habit of living in the Banjing Pavilion, Zhou Nan replied, "This Banjing Pavilion is elegant, and quiet, all the way, it is the best to live here." ”

  That Wu Shi first glanced at Cai Ying, and said to Zhou Nanmian with a smile, "This class of Jing Pavilion can only be regarded as a cold hall in the suburbs, and it can only be used for people to live reluctantly, so it is not good." Today, the two of us were ordered to invite the horses and their entourage to live in the city in the pavilion station, which was the venue for the official reception of the Liao envoys. When I got there, I was afraid that the colt would know where to live. ”

  After saying that, Wu Shi laughed a few times proudly, that Cai Ying, as a righteous envoy, did not get carried away like Wu Shi, just sat in the seat with a smile. Zhou Nan was most disgusted with the villain face of Wu Shi, and put on the style of a great envoy, like laughing at the village husband, laughing at Zhou Nan, a colt who had never seen the world.

  However, Zhou Nan didn't bother with this Wu Shi, at least he didn't want to worry about Wu Shi now. Zhou Nan pretended not to know, and said to Cai Yan and Wu Shi, "Wu Sheren said so, and I am determined to appreciate it." ”

  Cai Yan smiled and said, "The horse is a weak brigade, which started in troubled times, and independently supported Yanjing to avoid being poisoned by the Jin people; He also understands the righteousness and submits to our country, and we have long longed for the dignity of the horse. He also received the emperor's order, so he naturally had to guide the horse with all his heart. Please follow me to the Duting Station to check in. ”

  Zhou Nan's people had already packed up, set off randomly, and followed Cai Yan and Wu Shi to Bianjing City.

  In the distance, I saw a majestic and tall, blue-gray city wall standing on the south bank of a river, and there were two rows of willow trees planted on both sides of the riverbank, but before the early spring, the willows were still a dry scene. The blue-gray city wall, just the north, looking at it from afar, you can't see the end at a glance, I don't know how many miles, and all the city walls that Zhou Nan has seen are tall and long, so long that Zhou Nan can hardly believe that this is just a city, the endless city wall, like undulating mountains, people can't help but fall for it. On the top of the city, huge flags are waving in the wind, and the armor of the defenders on the head of the city is bright, and there is an imperial capital atmosphere.

  When he got closer, Zhou Nan found that the river was a moat specially dug outside the city wall, and it was about ten zhang wide, which was even wider than the river in the north.

  Walking over the bridge of the moat, as you approach the city wall, there is a suspension bridge made of hard elm wood, with two iron cables on the suspension bridge and countless hemp ropes, which connect one end of the suspension bridge to the head of the castle, and can be hoisted up and down.

  Under the leadership of Cai Yan and others, Zhou Nan and others passed the suspension bridge one after another, and Zhou Nan saw the city wall framed with blue bricks, no wonder it looked from afar, not the yellow color of the earthen city wall in the north. From a closer distance, the city wall is getting taller and taller, and when you look up from the ground, the city wall is more than five feet high. Every other arrow distance, the city wall has a protruding horse wall, which is used to enhance the defensive ability of the city wall, which is the same as the horse wall on the wall of the worry-free wall.

  Between the moat and the city wall, there is also a wall that is a zhang high, just like the courtyard wall of an ordinary person's yard. Fortunately, there is a teacher named Lao Zheng Tou, who once explained to Zhou Nan in detail the methods of defending the city of the Great Song Dynasty against the enemy, which naturally includes building the city wall. Zhou Nan knew that this high-zhang wall was to prevent the enemy troops attacking from the glacier from attacking the city wall after the river froze in winter, and deliberately built this sheep and horse wall to block the enemy's attack time, so that the defenders on the city wall could take the opportunity to annihilate the enemy.

  The city wall is so tall, the city gate is naturally also majestic and wonderful, there is a stone plaque on the city gate, and the three big characters of "Chen Qiaomen" are written. The city gate cave is also a rare three-bay city gate along the way, which seems to indicate that the rank of the capital city is different from that of other state cities.

  When Wu Shi accompanied Zhou Nan to pass under the city gate, he pointed to the city wall and said to Zhou Nan, "The circumference of this city is fifty miles and one hundred and fifty steps, the height of the city is more than four zhang, and the base of the horizontal is five zhang and nine feet." ”

  Zhou Nan listened to Wu Shi's introduction, and was also very surprised, the length and height of the city wall, as Zhou Nan expected, was the thickness of the city wall, which was nearly six zhang thick. It is unimaginable that the city wall of more than 50 miles can be built so thick and so high.

  Seeing Zhou Nan's surprised look, Wu Shi was even more proud, and asked, "I heard that the horse Wansheng army has siege weapons and arrows, but I don't know how many arrows can be attacked by this five-foot and nine-foot city wall?" ”

  Zhou Nan was stunned for a moment, Wu Shi asked this, it didn't seem to be a routine to greet guests, there was a provocation in it, so he naturally showed weakness and looked down on this person; If he answers directly, how many explosive arrows do he need to use to attack, and he is in his trap, if someone with a heart tells his answer to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, he is plotting against him.

  Zhou Nan glanced at Wu Shi with deep meaning, and replied randomly, "Your Majesty is originally a country of returning vassals, how can you send troops to attack?!" Wu Sheren laughed. ”

  Wu Shi laughed and said, "I heard that Wanshengjun was very powerful, and I was curious for a while, and I happened to have a horse by my side, so I asked for advice, and the horse is not strange." ”

  A group of people entered the city from the Chenqiao Gate, only to see pedestrians weaving, busy on the road. A street runs south from Chenqiaomen. Looking into the city, first of all, a tall stupa stands in front of you, and on the southwest side of the stupa, there is a ring of tall blue-gray city walls, and there are many city gates and moats.

  Zhou Nan was a little strange, Cai Yan was beside Zhou Nan, seeing that Zhou Nan was puzzled, he hurriedly explained, "Bianjing has been the capital since ancient times, the ancient Spring and Autumn Liang, the nearest five generations of Bianzhou, the hub of the world's water transportation, Emperor Taizu set up the capital here." Bianjing has three cities: the outer city, the inner city, and the imperial city, all of which have city walls, dragon protection rivers, and 100,000 forbidden army guards, which can be called impregnable. ”

  Zhou Nan nodded and didn't say anything. After the group walked along the main street for about three miles, the street was cut off and could not go any further, but could only turn left and right.

  Zhou Nan was even more strange, and Cai Yan explained, "If it is not for the frugal manpower of our capital, this street suddenly cut off the corner, and it is precisely to prevent the enemy from attacking the city and clashing north and south along the street." This is true of the streets of the city. The only people who can penetrate the east and west gates are the main street and the north street that we are walking now. ”

  As they spoke, the group turned west along the street, and there was another city gate in front of them, which was the Lijing Gate of the inner city. After passing the Lijing Gate, Zhou Nan's eyes suddenly lit up.

  The richest, grandest, most prosperous and most lively Bianjing City in today's era has been truly presented in front of you. Like Song Chungui, please collect x Song Chungui.
