Chapter 229: Expedition

The old pear orchard, now the martyr's park, is surrounded by newly built graves, the dead have gone, the living remember, many people of Chang'an, wandering in it, some are looking for their sons, after all, Chang'an guards the city at night, and there are countless casualties.

The blood-stained city wall was several feet wide, and he didn't see his son return home.

A huge square stone block stood in the middle of these new tombs, and it took a few days to build this monument under the command of hundreds of craftsmen under the command of Wu Daozi.

Countless names were engraved on it, the number of words alone has exceeded 100,000 words, the red font shows their glory, and a small stone tablet with a princess's pen is placed in front of this large stone tablet, which reads: 'Man is inherently dead, and those who sleep here are heavier than Mount Tai!' ’

The black-armored sergeants who were guarding this martyr's monument were very busy, and they welcomed many parents from Chang'an to ask if their son's name was on it.

Du Fu and Li Bai stood in the distance and watched quietly, silent with each other, at first Li Bai didn't think what the princess did, but now it seems that it is not a useless move, not long after, the two of them each wrote a poem, which was kept in this cemetery, in order to express their gratitude to the more than 40,000 martyrs!

As soon as the poem was completed, Du Fu sighed deeply, stroked his goatee, and the long hair on his cheeks fluttered slowly, "Taibai, do you think the princess will ascend to the throne of God?" ”

Li Bai stood stunned, stared at Zimei for a long time, and then slowly shook his head, dumb and then laughed wildly, "Hahahaha!" Hahaha! ”

Du Fu was puzzled, frowned and pretended to be angry and asked, "What are you laughing at?" What's so funny? ”

"Don't act, I still can't understand you? Zimei, you can do it, I haven't seen you for ten years, it's not easy to do this for the princess! And the princess probably started to arrange it ten years ago, do you think she will ascend to the throne? Li Bai patted Du Fu's shoulder and said meaningfully, "Whoever thinks about the people, Taibai will be for whom!" ”

Du Fu shook his head and smiled, grabbed Taibai's hand, and said excitedly, "The princess asked me to tell you that the answer to that question ten years ago is this world!" ”

"The world?" Li Bai recalled carefully, ten years ago, it seems that he had made a bet with the princess, he asked the princess what the way to save the people from suffering, and then carefully corresponded to the memories and tasted it, and suddenly became enlightened, "Well, I understand, then you tell the princess, Taibai knows!" Go ahead with confidence! ”

"Brother Taibai, before Du Fu goes, there is one more thing to tell Brother Taibai!"

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"When Brother Taibai is stationed in Chang'an, in addition to building a new city wall, you also need to pay attention to two other people, those two seem to be planning to contact the prince who usurped the throne of Lingwu! If something happens during the time the princess is on the expedition, it will not be easy! Du Fu took out the two letters from his arms, pressed them tightly in Taibai's hands, and handed over the important matter of guarding the rear to Li Bai.

Saying goodbye again, Du Fu rode on a war horse, galloped all the way around Yong'an Canal, came to Datongfang, turned the street, passed through Anhua Gate, and came to the south of Chang'an City.

In the south of Chang'an City, Wu Yueya rode a war horse, looked at the black sergeants, and felt proud in her heart, this is her layout in Jiannan for ten years.

The red flag covers the sun, and now the flag has been embroidered with the Tang character, and the other side is also embroidered with the martial character, they are the Tang Dynasty army subordinate to the princess of the country.

300,000 troops, only 150,000 on this expedition, after the battle of Fan Chuan and Zhongnan Mountain, the original 5,000 Black Armor Army left less than 1,000 people, some returned to the Black Armor Army Camp as regiment commanders, battalion commanders, some were seriously disabled, and directly reported illness and returned home.

Wu Yueya's eyes swept away, and the generals in front of the military formation were full of energy, and the most excited was Ji Xiao, this guy had to make him a general.

Looking at the white-robed general Lu Ziji and the bow and crossbow general Gu Renyi, the corners of Wu Yue's mouth were slightly upturned, which can be regarded as returning a wish of Lu's mother, and she can rest in peace under Jiuquan.

Carrying the Yundan Han sword on her waist and wearing a red-scaled steel armor on her chest, Wu Yueya rode the reins and slowly walked forward, the red feather crown on her head shook slowly, and the red cloak fluttered in the wind.

Wu Yueya took the wine bowl from a sergeant's hand and raised it high, this is the wine for the expedition, she wants everyone to drink this spirit, "The generals will listen to the order, recover Tongguan, and exterminate the rebels, it is the ultimate goal of our trip, I hope you will ride a war horse majestically today, and you can return here to drink and chat in the future!" Now, drink this cup to the fullest! ”

Raise the wine glass, drink first as a respect, and after drinking, the wine bowl will be broken to the ground, "If you don't break the thief, you won't return home!" No more mountains and rivers and no return home! ”

"If you don't break the thief, you won't return home, and if you don't return to the mountains and rivers, you won't return home!"

Over and over again, more than 100,000 black-armored sergeants roared and shook the sky, and this resolute momentum rippled throughout Chang'an City, and unconsciously, Wu Yueya, who led thousands of troops and horses to the battle, heard the boiling sound in Chang'an City, and seemed to be singing this sentence.

In the mighty long wind, a beautiful red shadow headed towards Tongguan with countless black torrents.

At this time, Lingwu, the eunuch Situ Dao was waiting in the back garden of the Sage's Mansion, pacing left and right, he was a little anxious, after all, he was not the same saint, I don't know if he would be rewarded, if he could get a reward, it could be regarded as a new place to live, as a eunuch, there was no other way to make a living.

At this time, in front of the garden path, the saint appeared, and Situ Dao stepped forward to see His Majesty in accordance with the etiquette of the eunuch, "Your Majesty, the minister Situ Dao has finally found you, and the minister has something to offer to Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty likes it!" ”

Li Heng walked slowly, looked at Situ Dao who was lying on his stomach, stepped on his body, and left three big footprints on his back, "What, let me see!" ”

"Yes!" Situ Daocheng was terrified, stood up and trotted out, took out the fireworks he had made, and put them in the open space in the garden.

Guo Ziyi walked from the side and looked at Situ Dao, who was fiddling with the fireworks, the square box placed on the ground was a little familiar, he seemed to have seen it somewhere, it seemed that he had seen it in Xingqing Palace during the Thousand Autumn Festival of the saints a few years ago!

"Your Majesty, this is a 'big' firework developed in Xia, which can release a greater effect in the air, bigger than the previous flowers!" Situ Dao said with a smile, and then lit it on fire, "Your Majesty, please cover your ears!" ”

Li Heng covered his ears, looked at the sky, and exploded a dazzling firework in the sky with a 'boom', the corners of his mouth hooked up a cheerful smile, and he admired the good things in his heart!

Guo Ziyi looked at the fireworks that exploded in the sky, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, the current effect, if it is put into a jar and then thrown out through a trebuchet, wouldn't it be able to achieve the effect of interfering with the enemy camp!

"Good, good, good stuff! Hahaha, Your Majesty, let this person come up with the method of configuring fireworks, otherwise he will be severely punished! Guo Ziyi said to Li Heng, her old face flushed, as if the concubine had given birth to another son.

"General Guo... Why is that? Li Heng was puzzled and asked Guo Ziyi.

"If such a strange thing were to be thrown into the enemy's camp in the form of an altar, it would surely work wonders! It can make the cavalry and horses flee in a panic, and it can disrupt the opponent's formation! Your Majesty, do you think this thing is good! Guo Ziyi immediately asked the guards on the left and right to restrain the person and explained.

"Okay, it's worthy of General Guo, come here, tie him up, interrogate and come up with a prescription! If you say it, you will be rewarded, and if you don't say it, you will fight until you say it! Li Heng stood up, shook his yellow robe, and ordered with majesty.

This is good, Situ Dao is like drinking Coptis wine, and he has to take a sip of bitterness, but when he hears it, he will be rewarded, so he shakes out all the methods of making blue gunpowder.
