Chapter Seventy-One: The People's Heart!

Three days later, in Chang'an City, every restaurant was no longer as lively as it once was. www.biquge.info When war looms over Chang'an City, everyone's hearts are replaced by helplessness and panic. The battle of Weishui Bridge is still vivid in the scene when the Northern Turkic soldiers approached the city. Almost everyone who went through that battle will never forget the despair and fear of being destroyed and killed.

Although since the accession of Tang Emperor Li Shimin to the throne, although the national strength has been continuously strengthened, people have gradually lived a good life. Just when everyone was almost about to forget the scene that people didn't want to remember anymore, the war broke out again without warning! Due to the cowardice and mediocrity of the former Sui, people's instinctive fear of war has led to almost everyone's consciousness, as long as it is a war, with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is bound to lose more and win less. It's not that Datang is incompetent, it's just that the enemy is too much to blame, too strong!

Therefore, when people learned that Dongying actually landed a surprise attack on the coast of Fengzhou, it can be said that no one in the entire Chang'an City, from the dignitaries to the common people, could think that Fengzhou could survive this surprise attack by Dongying. There are optimistic people who only think that the reinforcements are timely and hold the place outside of Toyoshu. In other words, almost everyone thinks that Toyosu must be lost. What people are worried about now is that after this surprise attack of Dongying, if other small countries of Fanbang see the success of Dongying's surprise attack, will they attack the Tang Dynasty. If it does, then everyone will have to think about how to survive.

Not far from the south gate of Chang'an City, there is a well-known restaurant called Fumanlou. If it's in normal times, it's basically full every day, and it's hard to find one. However, when the war broke out, the business of the restaurant began to decline day by day, until now there are only three or three sitting there drinking drunk, there are no blind people singing songs, no storytellers, and no high-minded chivalrous warriors.

The shopkeeper of Fumanlou is a middle-aged man with a big belly and a beard, this person's surname is Huang, his name is Huang Dequan, everyone calls him Huang Xiaoqi, as for how this name came about, I think it is obvious if I understand it literally.

Looking at the deserted store, Huang Dequan, who was fiddling with his abacus, couldn't help but sigh for the Nth time, "If this business is going to continue like this, it is better to sell this restaurant for money and hide in the countryside." Although the days will be harder, it is better than waiting for the day when the enemy suddenly comes to the door! ”

"Huang Xiaoqi, you are so calculating! But why do you think I'm going to lose? Huang Dequan's self-talk did not deliberately lower his voice, so in the quiet hall on the first floor at this moment, everyone heard Huang Dequan's emotion.

Hearing the sarcasm of the big man in the corner, Huang Dequan couldn't help but pout: "Now, who thinks that my Datang will win?" You? Seeing that the other party was choked speechless by his own words, Huang Dequan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "If you give Datang another three years, under the leadership of our Tang Emperor Li Shimin, my Datang will definitely have the confidence to start a war with any or even more small countries!" But now...... What a pity! ”

"Yes! If Tang Emperor Li Shimin had been in charge of the Tang Dynasty a few years earlier, we wouldn't have to suffer from the guilt of that state! This has to be fought, there are not enough people, there is no food. If you don't fight this, others won't watch me grow stronger! What a dead knot! ”

"Who's to say it isn't!"

"It is said that in the next two days, I will be able to get the news from the Fengzhou side, and I don't know how the fighting is going on there, but I pity the people of Fengzhou, who have suffered from this war for no reason. After this battle, I don't know how many displaced people will be added! ”

"Time is also fate! It is said that General Su had already sent the Imperial Forest Army and the Praetorian Guard to reinforce him a few days ago, and I hope that General Su will arrive in time to trap the enemy in Toyosu. Otherwise, if you let the enemy march all the way to the northwest, you will be able to attack the city in a few days! ”

"Your idea can be regarded as the best result, wait with peace of mind, you can receive the battle report from the front line in these two days."

"Yes, I'm here so that I can hear the battle report from the front line for the first time. Otherwise, at this time, who would want to come out! Which is not to spend time at home with your family! ”

Just when everyone gradually chatted together because of Huang Dequan's opening remarks, suddenly the originally calm street became lively in an instant. Everyone was puzzled, "What are you doing outside?" ”

"Someone says a big win?"

"A big win? What big win? In addition to the Toyosu Theater, are there any other places where the war is going on and still won? ”

"Guess what, let's go, go out and have a look!"

"Let's go, let's see!"

Huang Dequan took the lead, don't look at Huang Dequan's fat body. But if you really want to run, you can't be worse than anyone else. In Huang Dequan's words, if you run slow after the war, it will be fatal! When Huang Dequan and a few diners came to the street, the emotions of hundreds of people at the entire south gate were instantly detonated, and they burst out with an amazing shout, "Victory, victory!" "Oh my God, how is that possible?!" "I'm not dreaming, am I? Did my Datang actually win? "Great victory, this is a great victory! No, I'm going back and telling my old mother! ”……

The people in the restaurants, houses, and mansions on the periphery and in the distance were attracted by this amazing cheer. Almost all the people who heard the movement came out of the house to find out. A friend of Huang Dequan patted Huang Dequan, "What is this for?" Listen to what they shout about victory and victory, where is this fighting again? ”

Hearing this voice, Huang Dequan didn't even look back to know who it was, "You ask me?" I still want to know! It's a pity that I can't squeeze in! What are these people excited about? Doesn't a small victory happen from time to time? As for being so excited! ”

From time to time, when people in the inner circle were detonated with tears and shouted with tears, outsiders were even more puzzled and puzzled. Everyone's first reaction was that except for Toyoshu after being attacked by Dongying, other places were also attacked at the same time, and they also won.

In the inner circle, a scholar who has not been carried away by the victory, unlike those who heard this amazing news, instantly lost their minds and shouted wildly, if this scholar is usually just a weak, introverted and somewhat autistic cowardly scholar, then at this moment this scholar used all his strength to shout out the proudest sentence in this life, "The front line Fengzhou victory, all annihilation of the 100,000 Dongying army!" When this voice came out of the scholar's mouth, the people on the periphery who didn't know what to do were shocked on the spot!

And when Huang Dequan heard the news, if the news was true, at this moment Huang Dequan was already trembling with excitement, and an unknown sense of pride went straight from his chest to his throat, and Huang Dequan shouted out a sentence for the first time that he had never thought of in his life, "Fengzhou is a great victory, and the whole venue of Fumanlou is free today!" "Huang Dequan doesn't know why he is crying, I am obviously a calculating, selfish, mercenary businessman, why am I crying? But there was an inexplicable feeling of emotion and pride that made Huang Dequan unable to stop the tears that fell at all!

Before this, who would dare to believe that the Battle of Toyosu would be won? Before this, who would have believed that Fengzhou would actually win a great victory and annihilate 100,000 enemies! What is this concept? It's the equivalent of an adult not believing that a newborn child can win against an adult with a weapon! But now, this battle situation, which no one is optimistic about at all, actually gave people such a big surprise in a desperate situation!

"Everyone, let me tell you the news!" At this moment, Su Ming's whole body was already embarrassed, and his inner armor was already soaked with sweat. His lips were a little dry from the lack of water for a long time, dragging his almost unconscious body, Su Ming brushed aside the guard in front of him and said again: "Get out of the way, I want to tell Your Majesty the great news!" ”

"Lift him up, and we'll send him to the Imperial City." Seeing Su Ming's appearance at the moment, no one would have the slightest contempt for Su Ming's embarrassment. At this moment, Su Ming's image to everyone is so tall and majestic. Everyone can imagine how much Su Ming suffered and suffered on the road in order to pass the news back as soon as possible! This is my Datang soldier, this is our hero! Heroes should be treated like heroes, and there was no one to command them at all, so several big men took the initiative to stand up and lift Su Ming's whole person up and walk towards the imperial city. Along the way, even if the streets and crowded with people who heard the news. But at this moment, everyone spontaneously gave way to it, among which Huang Dequan took out his treasured more than ten years old wine from the restaurant and handed it to Su Ming, "It's hard work, drink some wine to quench your thirst." ”

On the second floor of a restaurant, looking at the scene happening on the street below, Hua Dieyi, who was sent by the flowers, said to the flowers beside him without tears: "This is the most terrible place in Datang, people's hearts!" If the hearts of the people of Datang are cohesive, Datang will have an invincible army that will terrify the enemy! ”
