Chapter 15: Heading to Yumen Pass (Part II)
Rongjun Palace.
Yu Wengong was sitting in the pavilion in the garden, and Li Shouren walked over from the side: "The last general will see the prince." ”
"What's the matter?" Yu Wengong raised his eyes and looked at Li Shouren.
"Lord Wang, is it true that there have been rumors in the city recently that Yu Wenxuan will marry the princess of Liuji Kingdom?" Li Shouren asked respectfully.
Yu Wengong looked at the book and said "um" casually. It seems that he doesn't care about what Li Shouren said at all.
"Lord Wang, the last general also heard that the emperor ordered Yu Wenxuan to personally go to meet the envoy of the Liuji Kingdom to escort the princess." Li Shouren said again, "Early this morning, he went to the Yueguo Mansion, probably to discuss this matter with Tian Shaotu. ”
Yu Wengong said slowly: "Do you want to kiss...... How many people did he bring? ”
"Back to the prince, according to the Great Zhou etiquette law, if you welcome your relatives, it will be at least a thousand." Li Shouren replied.
"Do you know what to do?" Yu Wengong raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Shouren and said.
Li Shouren blinked his eyes: "At the end, the end will be dull, and please ask the prince to learn clearly." ”
Yu Wengong closed the book and threw it on the table. Then he stood up, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at the flowers and plants in the yard. Li Shouren stood behind Yu Wengong, slightly hunched back.
"Lord Wang?" Seeing that Yu Wengong was slow to express his position, Li Shouren said tentatively.
"Send five generals who are strong in martial arts and have never dealt with Yu Wenxuan's gang to bring a thousand cavalry to ambush them on the way back." Yu Wengong said with a sneer.
"A thousand ......," Li Shouren pondered, "Lord Wang, do you want to send another thousand?" ”
"Do you think you're going to war!" Yuwen Gong was furious, and sharply accused, "This king has said that it is a surprise attack, just kill a few envoys of the Liuji Kingdom to cause a riot, it is best to snatch that princess." Those soldiers under Yu Wenxuan, can you beat me if I give you another 2,000? ”
Hum! Black Feather Army. If this king is in command of such a strong army, why worry about the failure of the great cause?
"The prince is angry, it is the stupidity of his subordinates, please forgive the prince." Li Shouren hurriedly apologized and explained.
"I'll leave this matter to you, gather people and horses to hide and wait outside the city as soon as possible, and as soon as Yu Wenxuan leaves the city, you will follow the path, a thousand people is not a small number, disguised as passers-by and bandits, and advance in groups. Do not be exposed. Yu Wengong commanded.
"No. Then this will be the end. ”
Yu Wengong was too lazy to talk nonsense, he didn't look at Li Shouren, and waved his hand to let him leave.
……
Two days later, outside the city of Chang'an.
The sky has been cloudy, but the sun has not yet come out, the early morning of midsummer is cool, the wind is blowing, a thousand cavalry are waiting, the battle flag is fluttering under the blue sky, the cavalry in the first row holds the Great Zhou national flag and the battle flag of the Black Ling Army, and the next row carries the "Prince Xi" Wang Qi and "Zhang", "Tian", "Wei" and other general flags. These warriors who had experienced the bloody storm seemed to fill the air around them with the smell of slaughter.
All the soldiers stood beside their horses with the reins in their hands, quietly looking ahead, no one spoke, and occasionally only a few horses could be heard swaying their big heads and making a "whirring" jet sound.
"The emperor has arrived!" An announcement was heard.
All the soldiers immediately knelt on one knee, as if they had been rehearsed in advance, and their movements were neat and unprocrastinating, fully demonstrating their well-trained training.
Yu Wenduan, Yu Wenxuan brothers, Zhang Shaohua, Tian Shaotu and others and a group of entourages went out of the city together, and Wei Chuan, who was wearing a black and black feather army uniform, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, Lord Qi." The 1st Cavalry Battalion of the Black Feather Army was assembled. ”
Yuwen said: "Let's be even." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" A thousand people got up at the same time, and their movements were still uniform.
Yu Wenxuan smiled at Yu Wenduan, and then said to Wei Chuan: "Get on the horse and stand by." ”
"No!" Wei Chuan clasped his fists and saluted, got up to return to the team, and ordered, "Get on the horse!" ”
After Zhang Shaohua and Tian Shaotu saluted Yuwenduan, they also returned to the front of the team and turned over their horses.
Yu Wenduan and Yu Wenxuan walked forward side by side, and sent him to the dark cloud snow horse, and told him as he walked: "Be careful on the road, don't cause trouble." On the way back, you must protect the envoys of the Ryuki Kingdom. ”
"Ouch, Brother Huang, this is not going to war, what is there to be careful about." Yu Wenxuan said reluctantly.
Yu Wenduan sorted out Yu Wenxuan's dark golden battle armor and said, "Then you have to be careful." ”
Then patted Yu Wenxuan's shoulders: "Let's go." ”
"Hmm." Yu Wenxuan took a step back, took the war horse from the hands of his own soldiers, turned over on the horse, and smiled at Yu Wenduan: "Brother Huang, take care, I'm leaving." ”
"Stay safe." Yuwenduan admonished again.
"Don't worry." Yu Wenxuan picked up his gun and shouted: "Let's go!" Then he lightly clamped the horse's belly between his legs and led his cavalry away slowly.
Yuwenduan watched Yuwenxuan walk away all the time, and then said to Gonggong Han beside him: "Let's go, go back to the palace." ”
"Let's go!" Han Gonggong reported.
……
Yuwenxuan and the others galloped along the official road, and the scene of more than a thousand people marching at the same time was extremely spectacular.
The midday sun scorched the earth, and even a foot above the surface could see a rolling heat wave. The forest was full of knowing cries, under the scorching heat and scorching sun, and with the loud noise, everyone in a hurry couldn't help but feel bored.
More than one soldier was already looking up at the sky, and more than one soldier was looking into the distance with a frown.
Yu Wenxuan hurried forward, ignoring the state of the soldiers at this time, but these were all seen by Tian Shaotu.
"Haoxuan, it's going to be too hot, let the brothers rest and rest." Tian Shaotu proposed.
"Okay, there's a forest ahead, let's go there and rest." Yu Wenxuan said. Then his right hand is clenched into a fist and raised above his head, which is a gesture in the Black Feather Army to stop advancing.
"Brothers, let's go to the forest ahead and rest for an hour, and then we will hurry when the heat of noon will pass." Yu Wenxuan said loudly.
The Black Feather Army was strictly disciplined, and no one dared to cheer, but many people could be vaguely heard sighing.
Entering the woods, Zhang Shaohua divided the 1,000 people into four groups, three groups of people rested, and one group of people stood guard, changing every two quarters of an hour.
"Shaohua!" Yu Wenxuan leaned against the tree, holding dry cakes and dried meat in his hands and eating.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Shaohua was wearing the Eight Treasures Ruyi Silver Dragon Armor given by Yuwenduan that day, and was feeding grass to his horse in the shade of the tree.
Zhang Shaohua's crotch treasure horse is called Jade Qilin, which is generally the same height as the dark cloud stepping on the snow, both of which are eight feet. Its whole body is snow-white, and its personality is relatively docile. It is one of the four famous horses in the rivers and lakes.
The so-called four famous horses are evidenced by poems.
Dark clouds tread the snow all over the plum, and the red flame scorched the light and shadows. The green hooves and green nails are emerald colored, and the pear blossom jade unicorn is falling.
These four verses refer to the four horses, namely the Dark Cloud Treading Snow, the Red Flame Horse, the Green Beast and the Jade Kirin.
