Chapter 1477: Scared to the knees
There was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and he saw a group of cavalry roaring, Cangli suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring at the horizontal knife on the opponent's waist, he could see that the horizontal knife on the opponent's waist was made of high-quality steel, such a horizontal knife, in Mobei Cangli were shaken, but in the Central Plains, just in the hands of an ordinary soldier, the Central Plains is prosperous and powerful, which makes people jealous! It is no wonder that the grassland people throughout the ages have wanted to enter the Central Plains, it is not unreasonable, like such a prosperous place, they can only use their eyes to see, how painful it is.
"Ahead of you are the brother who escorted the envoy of the steppe Keree?" One of the soldiers at the head shouted loudly.
"Hu San, a personal soldier under the command of General Boyan in the north, was ordered to escort the king of Zuogu Li, the Kereh Department, to meet the Son of Heaven." The captain of the escort also stepped forward at this time and shouted loudly. There was just a hint of envy in his eyes.
"Brother Hu and all the brothers have worked hard. When you come to Yanjing, it is equivalent to coming home, you will first go to the military aircraft to pay off, and in the evening I will invite you brothers to drink in Nanshun. The soldier at the head glanced at Cang Lidu, laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go into the city first and send you to the pavilion." ”
"Thank you, Brother Nan." Hu San suddenly showed joy when he heard this, and a little embarrassment in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, these people in front of him are well-equipped, and they are undoubtedly the guards who protect the Son of Heaven, and any army in the Tang Dynasty wants to enter the guards, so they are naturally shorter than the guards, but they didn't expect that here, they felt the enthusiasm from the guards.
Cang Li calmly looked at the two armies in front of him, although there were differences in equipment, but the momentum on his body was similar, and more importantly, the relationship between the two armies. This is something that can't be found in Mobei. Although the soldiers under Kereh are unified under the great command of Ju'er Khan, there are still many small tribes among each other, since there are small tribes, there are times when they fight, don't say that in peacetime, in war, they may fight each other because of their military exploits, where is it like now.
Everyone followed Nanshun into Yanjing City, at this time Cangli was just wide-eyed, on the wide street, the traffic was busy, and he couldn't see the end at a glance, and he could faintly see a magnificent temple in the distance at the end, which was the location of the palace, but the whole attraction of Cangli was the surrounding shops and crowds, in just a few months, Yanjing City has turned into a huge city.
In Yanjing City, the rules of the middle royal road and the trade road on both sides have been abandoned, and anyone can walk on the huge Suzaku Avenue, and only when the emperor arrives, the street will be banned. Because of this, it seems that Suzaku Avenue is more prosperous, more crowded, the streets are made of green bricks, there are culverts on both sides of the street, leading the waste water in the city, there are faintly visible officials walking on the streets, they hang long knives around their waists, but they are holding wooden sticks in their hands, not driving pedestrians, the existence of these people in addition to maintaining order, more to check the hygiene between the markets.
At that time, Bianjing City was very large, but the same unhygienic, often had the smell of urine, and even there were indescribable things on the ground, which made people look disgusting, after Li Jing built Yanjing, he attached importance to the permanent construction of the city, it can be said that Yanjing City is now an excellent city in the world, with the most advanced architectural concept.
"Huh! General Nan, what are those veterans doing? Hu San suddenly saw many young men lining up in the distance, these young men were wearing leather armor, although it was not regular armor, but Hu San still recognized that these people were all veterans, all of whom had been retired, but they were only a little older, basically over forty.
Nan Soon looked over, and suddenly showed a trace of envy on his face, and said: "I heard that there is a Miaoqing monk in Goryeo, and he played the Son of Heaven and asked the Son of Heaven to send troops to Goryeo to solve the internal problems of Goryeo, but His Majesty did not agree, saying that Goryeo is a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, and it is inappropriate to send troops to interfere in the internal affairs of the other party, but he can't help but beg the other party, so that the Gongsun of the Military Aircraft Department thought of a way, that is, to recruit those retired veterans in the DPRK and the central government, tsk, that money, if I am not an active soldier, even I want to go." ”
"That is, what is the army of Goryeo, the last general has also heard of it, it can't be compared with my Tang Dynasty at all, if it were me, I would also like to go." Hu San also showed excitement on his face when he heard this.
Cang Li, who was beside him, was also surprised by the conversation between the two, looked at the long line in the distance, showed a hint of thought on his face, and couldn't help but say: "General Nan, are there many veterans like this in the Central Plains?" ”
"Many, now that the Tang Dynasty has been unified, Your Majesty is merciful, some veterans have been fighting all year round and have been injured a lot, so they are persuaded to go home to recuperate, but where can these people be idle, even if they have a generous pension, they have also rewarded the fields and houses, and they are all small landlords when they go home, these people don't fight every day, they are uncomfortable, some people act as dart masters, and now there is one more trade, Your Majesty is jokingly called a mercenary, tsk, a great opportunity to make money!" Nan Soon said with a smile: "When I retire, if the Military Aircraft Department can find such a good messenger, I am also ready to go." ”
"Mercenaries?" Cang Lidu's face was solemn, and he suddenly said, "I wonder if I can also hire some soldiers to go to the grassland to help us train the army?" ”
Nan Soon said with a smile: "If you want to be a mercenary, it is also arranged by the Military Aircraft Department, this mercenary is not something that anyone can do, and no one can go out for half a step without a certificate from the Military Aircraft Department." ”
"I see, I see." Cangli nodded again and again, although the Tang army was defeated in the grassland, but the combat effectiveness of the Datang army is still obvious to all, if it were not for the center of gravity of the Tang army in the Central Plains, Cangli believed that the Jin people would never defeat the Tang Dynasty so easily. If a few soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can be recruited to join the Kereh Ministry, it will definitely be helpful for the development of the Kereh Army. Cang Lidu suddenly discovered that Datang had a lot to learn by himself. He can only hope that after he meets the Son of Heaven, he can get more benefits.
After walking for a few miles, he arrived at the pavilion station, and in the face of the luxurious pavilion, what made Cangli even more shocked was the palace in the distance, which was resplendent and brilliant from afar, and the golden light was shining brightly, and he was shocked in his heart.
"General Nan, is the palace of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty made of gold?" Cangli exclaimed, and the soldiers around him were also shocked, the original greed and covetousness disappeared without a trace at this moment, more of a color of fear, such a luxurious palace, who can live in it.
"His Majesty the Great Emperor is the Son of Heaven, and naturally he is above the Nine Heavens. What kind of place the palace is, it is natural to say that it is a place of majesty and dignity, how can we talk about it? Lam Soon looked proud.
Falling into the heart of Cang Lidu, he had already secretly admitted that the splendid palace in front of him was made of gold, and the shock and panic in his heart were indescribable.
