In March of the seventh year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, the cold wind outside the gate was biting, and everything in the Central Plains recovered, as if the spring breeze arrived overnight, and green shoots appeared all over the mountains.

A loess official road, smoke and dust three feet into the air, but seeing a fast horse galloping, the knight on the horse frantically whipped his mount.

The fast horse galloped all the way, and the frightened pedestrians on the road avoided one after another, and the young boy was so angry that he couldn't help but curse twice, but before they could open their mouths to curse, they had already been kicked by the elder on the buttocks.

The elders not only kicked people, but also scolded harshly, saying: "Blind your eyes, Hongling dares to scold in a hurry?" This is an eight-hundred-mile fast ride, and it will be in vain to hit and kill you. ”

The young boy suddenly died down, but he couldn't help but feel a burst of curiosity in his heart, and they grabbed the elder's arm one after another, shouting to let the elder say what is called the Red Feather Urgency.

The elders gradually became proud, and began to explain while taking the juniors to hurry, the Tang Dynasty is a government military system, and Guanlong ambush soldiers account for seventy percent, and many people have been soldiers and fought in wars, so they have a deep understanding of the system in the army.

But I saw an old man in his fifties pushing a small cart, full of pride, and said to a group of boys: "What do you ask about the Red Feather Urgency?" Hongling's urgent envoy is to ride eight hundred miles quickly, this is a way for our Datang to transmit messages, and the news from eight hundred miles away can be known within a day. ”

After a pause, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the Hongling Urgent Envoy who had already gone away, and said, "Have you seen the Hongling on the back of that Urgent Envoy?" ”

A group of young people nodded hurriedly, and asked curiously around the old man of the cart, "What does he say about the red feather on his back?" ”

The old man of the cart sighed with emotion and said: "The news that Hongling delivered on his behalf is 100,000 urgent, and it can be unimpeded anywhere in our Datang, if you meet the city and enter the city, you can pass the customs when you meet the customs, even if the city gate has been closed at night and the curfew, the Hongling emergency envoy can also use the red feather to shout to open the city gate, even if it is to the palace of the imperial capital of Chang'an, the Hongling urgent envoy still dares to ride a horse into the palace gate, if you hit and kill someone on the road, you can only die in vain......

The young people were stunned and said, "It's so unreasonable? Our Datang has such a rebellious messenger? ”

"You know the!"

The old man of the cart suddenly became angry, and scolded loudly: "This is an eight-hundred-mile fast ride in the court, and when the message is transmitted, it is often restless, and they pass on all the top priorities, and a slight delay may kill many people, these messengers have a great responsibility, they are taking their lives to grab time, do you little hairy children know that nine out of ten red feather envoys will die of exhaustion......"

A group of young people looked at each other, a little disbelieving: "Exhaust yourself to death? Are these Hongling Envoys stupid? ”

The old man of the cart was even more angry, and suddenly he lost interest in explaining, and he pushed the cart forward angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with this group of young people.

The young people were very puzzled, and they couldn't figure out what kind of anger this elder was angry about.

At this time, a middle-aged man came up from behind, looked at this group of young people and sighed, "You were born in a good year, you have not experienced the suffering of our generation, you don't know what war is prolonged, and you don't know what foreign invasion is, so in your eyes, you don't care about the soldiers, and even feel that Hongling is a fool to exhaust yourself to death." ”

He shook his head with a wry smile and muttered softly: "You live too easily, but you have lost your conscience." ”

The young man was suddenly dissatisfied, and he shouted, "Uncle Tian, how can you speak?" How come we live too easily? We farm and work every day, beat grain and push it to Chang'an to sell, and we have to go to work when the farm is slack, and there are no comfortable days all year round......"

"Whew!"

The middle-aged man spat suddenly, and the spit Xingzi directly sprayed a young man all over his face.

He was still dissatisfied after spraying, and suddenly asked loudly: "Isn't your life easy?" Do you know what it means to starve to death? Do you farm and sell grain every day? Do you know that there was not enough food to eat before? What happened to working in the slack time? Do you know that there was nowhere to do it when you wanted to work? ”

He scolded angrily for a long time, snorted angrily and said: "That is, the situation has been good in the past few years, and you hairy boys are qualified to be crooked, if you push forward for a few years, we ordinary people can't even afford to eat salt." ”

A group of young people hid far away, feeling that the elders were a little angry today.

That Uncle Tian left them with a snort, walked quickly all the way to catch up with the old man with a cart in front, and suddenly said with a low wry smile: "Fourth uncle, don't be angry, these children don't know, they haven't experienced those years, so it doesn't make sense......"

The old man of the cart sighed with emotion and muttered, "How can you say that you haven't passed those years?" It's only been a few days since you've eaten? People don't know how to be grateful when they live, what is the difference between this and animals? Our Guanlong is indeed rich now, but we can't forget who made us so rich. ”

As he spoke, he glanced back at the group of young people, and muttered: "If there are no various industries founded by that prince, where will we ordinary people have the opportunity to live a prosperous life?" If there was no prince who worked hard outside, where would our common people be qualified to live peacefully? After the Turks fought Liaodong, there was almost no rest for seven or eight years, but our next generation was completely ungrateful and even laughed at him for being a fool......"

The old man said no more, obviously disappointed in his juniors.

That Uncle Tian grasped a sentence in his words, and couldn't help but whisper: "Fourth uncle, have you also guessed the origin of the Hongling Urgency?" ”

The old man glanced at Uncle Tian and said with a smile: "Coming from the east, the wind is galloping, although he is running wildly all the way, but he does not see the color of panic, but his expression is full of excitement and pride, I am afraid that the east has won a big victory." Who can fight in the east? I can't think of anyone else except our pillar prince......"

Uncle Tian was obviously excited, and said hurriedly: "Fourth uncle, can you be sure of your guess?" ”

The old man of the cart smiled again, and said to him very firmly: "Don't forget your little thing, the fourth uncle, I also did a scout when I was young, although I did not belong to the Hongling urgency, but I also knew the doorway of the Hongling urgency, when reporting worries, his face sank like water, and he reported the good news for a while, with a red face, and the emergency envoy was full of pride just now, he must have gone to Chang'an to report the victory." ”

"Okay!"

Uncle Tian clenched his fists heavily, and said happily: "If you can dispatch Hongling to report a great victory, the results of this battle will definitely be extraordinary." ”

He and the old man of the cart looked ahead at the same time, and the Hongling Messenger had already disappeared at the end of the official road, but the two of them tried to look up, full of longing and guessing: "I don't know how many cities have been conquered, and how many Liaodong dogs have been killed." ”

The Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo have a life-and-death feud, and even the peddlers and pawns are looking forward to revenge.
