Chang'an, as a metropolis with a population of five million, has had a great change from the first year of Zhenguan, in fact, from the beginning of the construction of the heavenly and earthly buildings, the streets here began to appear crowded, not to mention the initial construction of the top ten factories in the east and west, now the number of workers on both sides of the Yangjiang Canal outside the city is as many as one million The top ten factories have been completely on the right track, and its huge production capacity attracts businessmen from all over the country and even from all over the world, and a large number of floating population gathers here. On average, the number of people settling in Chang'an will increase by more than 500,000 every year, so the princes in the court had to seriously consider the municipal construction plan proposed by Yanglin at the beginning, and agreed to and implemented that construction plan two years ago.

Chang'an's wide city gate hole has been expanded to be equal to the width of the sixteen-lane Suzaku Avenue, such a wide city gate can not make a city gate at all, so Chang'an City is now without a city gate, in fact, according to the meaning of Yanglin, it is best to even demolish the city wall, but the minister still insists on keeping the city wall, and it is all reinforced with cement, the city wall of more than ten zhang high, has now become a good place for the people to climb high and look far away.

Speaking of streets, the original main road, Suzaku Street, has been changed to Suzaku Avenue. Dao' to call the road, the ministers stipulate that it must reach sixteen lanes, there are eight lanes on the left and right, Chang'an City now has only two such avenues, in addition to Suzaku Avenue there is also Huangcheng Avenue, the two avenues are crossed in Chang'an City, Chang'an City is divided into four large areas, Huangcheng District and the government district are relatively small, the change is not big, the two large areas centered on the East City and the West City are separated by more than a dozen eight-lane roads, and the roads are connected by four-lane streets, according to the original chessboard pattern of Chang'an City, these roads are straight, and the roads are all paved with smooth cement pavementUnderneath is a sewer passage wide enough to be used for a sports car, flanked by green bricks of different shapes. The sidewalks paved with red bricks or some vegetation, a tall street lamppost every ten meters, which will be lit up at night, and a city guard post every 100 meters to strictly control the security of the entire Chang'an City, it can be said that it has the appearance of a metropolis in later generations.

The pedestrians on the road are all kinds of people, at any intersection, and within an hour you can see more than ten countries of Hu people, blonde, blue-eyed. Dark-skinned Kunlun slaves, Turkic food with the smell of sheep or Uighurs are not uncommon, it is not only a metropolis, it is also an international metropolis.

The Heaven and Earth Building will always be the most dazzling place in this super city, after three or four years of construction, this building has basically been fully completed, and all kinds of talents for service and operation have been stationed, but it has not yet opened for business, after several months of training. It will enter a short trial operation, and when the emperor returns to Chang'an with the army before the Spring Festival, the shops stationed here will open at the same time under a heavy ceremony, and for this moment, Wang Shouren's subordinates have tens of thousands of people who are constantly improving the places where mistakes may occur. If a building is built in the future, how can such a huge amount of artificial power be used, Datang can do it now, which is equivalent to a national project.

The square under the heavenly and earthly buildings is always the most lively place in Chang'an City. This square has been named Wanmin Square by Li Chengqian, and the people of Chang'an City like to sell some private goods of their own property to those outsiders or foreigners who come to the front of the building to see strangeness, but in fact, most of these people are people who have connections in the top ten factories in the east and west. Now the top ten factories in the east and west only accept large quantities of orders, the retail industry because the supermarket of the heaven and earth building has not yet opened, there is no unified fixed price standard, so some clever Chang'an people like to slaughter the local tyrants in other places, do some profitable business, even as the controller of this place Wang Erya is too lazy to care, just wait for the supermarket to open, these people's business will naturally not be able to continue, and the only way to live a good life in Chang'an City is to find a stable job, With the wages of Chang'an, as long as you are doing things properly, you can live a good life.

Every day to Wanmin Square to walk around the elephant to enjoy the people's worship and awe of the eyes is Li Chengqian's favorite program, in Xinghuafang even after the three daughters he still feels refreshed, at this time riding on the back of the war elephant like a dog to the ground to the people who bowed to him waved hello, in fact, what he didn't know was that the people gave him a salute meant to tell him to do well, hurry up, don't affect everyone's business, today and every day in the past is actually the same, but accidents often come in this kind of day without freshness.

The elephant that Li Chengqian sat on was a well-trained war elephant, not afraid of people at all, and could act completely according to the requirements of the elephant trainer, but I don't know why, this elephant suddenly had an unusual appearance in the crowded city, and the next scene was completely out of control. The tall war elephant didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and his long nose with iron hoops waved indiscriminately in the crowd, and the small vendors in the square were overturned in an instant, and several people were trampled under the feet of the war elephant, and they died in an instant.

Li Chengqian, who was sitting on the back of the elephant, was shocked, grabbed the guardrail on the car with all his might, and kept shouting to the beast tamer to control the war elephant down, but the war elephant didn't know why, it became strange and violent, and the pedestrians broke away from the brigade in the rage, and the animal trainer had no way to take it. He knew that the medicinal properties of the tiger and wolf medicine he had taken were about to pass, and now he had to rest for a night to regain his vitality, but at this moment, he could rest there, and he was unable to grasp the guardrail, and his limp body was thrown out by the war elephant at once.

When the guards approached the war elephant through the fleeing crowd, Li Chengqian had been thrown out by the elephant, only to hear a miserable scream, and Li Chengqian, who fell to the ground, fainted in pain, and his left leg had been trampled by the war elephant's hoof, and his flesh and blood were blurred on the ground.

"This, this, quickly, bring the prince back, and the imperial doctor will come" The guards shouted with pale faces, if something like this happened, they were afraid that they would not be able to escape a dead word, but how could such a thing happen suddenly!

The news that the crown prince Li Chengqian was injured by a surprise in Wanmin Square reached the palace as quickly as possible, and the six palaces shook, and the entire Chang'an panicked. Almost all the doctors in the Tai Hospital, and even those who knew how to heal in the pharmaceutical factory, were summoned to the palace in the shortest possible time, and after dark, a diagnosis was passed out of the palace, and the prince's life was saved, but his leg was useless, and there was no possibility of healing. It wasn't until a few days later that the Criminal Department and the Third Division, which were in charge of investigating the shocking incident, had no clue at all, so they had to send the situation to the southern front in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

The minister was very lucky to complete the task assigned to him by Abejun, but he didn't have the kung fu to be proud, and there were two other things that he needed to deal with, Datang's military strength from now on, led by the Wan cavalry army, of course, Wan Cai has been scattered and sent in three directions, but if Wan Cai is not removed, the impact of those neighboring countries on Datang is very limited.

The 3,000 cavalry of Liaodong Road has been killed by Gaisu Yuanwen, and most of them are not worried, but there are also Li Ji in Shu and Li Jing outside the Guan, Li Ji has a large army in Shu around him, which is difficult to shake, Li Jing's 3,000 cavalry is after two years of hard fighting to destroy the Western Turks, and is preparing to return to the army. As long as Li Jinglu passes near Lanzhou Mansion, Tuyuhun suddenly makes a move and takes it down, then Tuyuhun's national strength will increase several times in an instant.

Cutting off Datang's mobile combat power one by one and letting Datang have a civil war is a good time for them to invade Datang as foreigners.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that even the Liaodong 3,000 cavalry army that suffered a defeat was not so easy to eliminate, and the 800 pacesetters under the leadership of Xue Rengui fully played the role of guerrilla tactics, like wolves, constantly stealing meat in Gai Su Yuanwen's sheepfold to eat, Hou Junji had been sent back to Hebei by Xue Rengui, and Xue Rengui was officially appointed by Li Daozong as the captain of a thousand cavalry, with 800 cavalry constantly harassing Gai Su Yuanwen's large army, trying to prevent Gai Su Yuanwen's large army from advancing to the Tang Dynasty, after all, the defense line of Hebei is too long, not ready for war, and Shandong's Zhendong Army under the leadership of Liu Hongji marched into Black Stone City, but also by Goryeo's strong resistance, in history, Yang Guang and Li Er's first expedition to Goryeo, failed to take Black Rock City to attack Goryeo proper, Liu Hongji hurriedly launched the war naturally not, the city wall of Black Stone has been reinforced by the Goryeo to five zhang thick, fifteen zhang high, even if it is a gunpowder bomb, can not shake the defense of the city, Liu Hongji's results can be imagined, he can play a role, nothing more than to reduce the pressure on Hebei.

In the camp of Nanzhao Li Er, Monado finally set the time and place of the decisive battle, it was the ancient battlefield of the Three Kingdoms period, Qishan, Cheng Biting Jin triumphant Wei Chi Gong showed off in front of him for a long time, until the old guy Yu Chi couldn't help but roll up his sleeves and fight with him, but the two veterans didn't get a good deal, and the yellow teeth in their mouths were missing a few.

The date of the decisive battle is approaching, and the army is about to start, but another urgent document of 800 miles was sent to Li Er's account, the content is very long, it is written by Empress Changsun herself, Li Er has a complicated look after reading the letter, of course, he is more angry, Li Tai seems to be even more angry after reading it, but he is ecstatic in his heart, God is really helping him, Li Chengqian will suddenly be lame at this time.
