"Boom! Click! Click! ”

The sound of horses' hooves is from the outskirts of Chang'an City, from far to near. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, is there another 800-mile border report?"

The people of Chang'an City all stopped to watch.

Previously, Pegasus Express delivered a very bad message, the Liao State brazenly raised troops to attack the field, if it weren't for the quick reaction of the border army, they even crossed the Great Wall and drove straight down.

Now that the Pegasus Rush is coming again, the news that Shamo is the Khitan invader again?

All the people's hearts are clouded, they live at the feet of the Son of Heaven, although the cost of living is higher, the price of land is higher, but all kinds of conveniences, all kinds of novelties, beyond the imagination of other state cities. I feel a sense of pride in being a Kyoto citizen, and I am very interested in national affairs. In the restaurant and tea shop, most of them are people who talk about current affairs, but no one thinks it is impossible.

When the people were stunned, the shouts were also close: "Report: Yunnei Prefecture City Good News!" Zhu Daguang, the commander of the border army, together with the head of Yunnei, led 50,000 soldiers and horses, broke the Khitan 20,000 cavalry, and captured the enemy alive! Newspaper: Yunnei Prefecture City Good News ......"

Pegasus rushed away like a gust of wind, and the pedestrians had already avoided it, but they had not yet come back to their senses: "I didn't listen to it, right?" The imperial court defeated the Khitans again? ”

"Hey, it's another cover-up! During the Yuan Shou period, the border army was all talking about winning the battle, but in fact, everyone knew what it was! This is a pessimistic common man who is disappointed in the imperial court, said disdainfully.

"I think it's true, today's saints are working hard, and there are only 20,000 Khitans who have come to attack, and it couldn't be easier to capture......"

"You said it lightly, why don't you go and be a soldier? Let me tell you, we were the forbidden army before! ”

"Yo, good man!"

"Hey, although it's said to be an auxiliary, I haven't been in battle. But I'll tell you, the training of the forbidden army is really beyond the ability of ordinary people to withstand. ”

"How?" Everyone was curious and gathered around.

The retired auxiliary soldier said: "Every day, I practice formation coordination, literacy, and various killing skills; Weight-bearing cross-country once in three days; an all-army drill once every five days; Exercise once a month...... Anyway, no matter how you toss it, it won't make you feel better. Our guy said, what is this 'more training on weekdays, less bloodshed in wartime', although I didn't have a chance to go to battle, but the brothers who came back said that this is the reason! ”

"How can you withstand the daily exercises?" A scholar who looked like a talent heard it and said disdainfully.

The retired auxiliary soldier looked at this Xiucai and sneered: "With your Xiucai's body, you are so thin and weak, you really can't stand it!" ”

Na Xiucai's face flushed: "Well, you Qiu Ba, you are so rude!" ”

"You don't have the strength to scold, why don't you go home and eat a few catties of pork! Or will I give you this pork in my hand? Hearing the words of the auxiliaries, everyone burst out laughing.

Na Xiucai felt that he had suffered a great shame in his life: "How can such a lowly thing be...... Isn't it...... Is it eaten by the people of my generation who are studying? ”

"Phew, fake Qinggao! If you don't eat meat, how can you have strength? Let me tell you, in the forbidden army, there is fish and meat every day! The auxiliary soldier said disdainfully, "Even if it's your body, after you go in, you have to train out a horizontal body." Maybe I'm not as good as you in terms of literacy, but when it comes to age, you definitely can't live me, do you want to bet? ”

"If you have ambitions, you are not old, and if you have no ambitions, you are a hundred years old, I am ashamed to argue with you ...... rough man" After that, the show squeezed out of the crowd and ran away in disgrace.

Everyone laughed again: "It's a fake Qinggao!" ”

Someone else asked, "What about pork...... Isn't it a shame to eat? ”

"I don't have much money, so I only dare to buy some money. Where is the pork now? It is estimated that it is because of the boar, anyway, since I was beaten to eat meat in the forbidden army, I have not eaten the taste of the boar...... "At this time, the face of the boar refers to the fine meat. At this time, the people ate meat, which was mostly semi-fat and thin, but as for fine meat, it was cheap.

"Ah, I see!" Everyone suddenly realized, "Why don't you go to those ones and taste them, but how to cook them well?" ”

The auxiliary soldier smiled and said: "I like to make braised pork, I heard that it was invented by the talented Su Shi and Su Zizhan, also known as the champion meat...... "I immediately said the method," ...... That's it, it's delicious. Ah, it's getting late, I have to go to work......" he said, squeezing through the crowd and hurriing away.

At this time, it was already time for the people of Chang'an to go to work. The hour is from seven to nine o'clock in the twenty-four hours, and it is almost an hour before the rooster crows.

Nowadays, all workshops and factories are located in the suburbs of Chang'an City, and they are not allowed to enter Chang'an City. When the people of Chang'an go to work, they have to take a public carriage and pay two pennies for the fare, and the sun sets from morning to finish. Most of the workshops and factories take care of a lunch, but there are also homemade ones to eat, so the wages will be much higher......

But it was said that the Pegasus was in a hurry, all the way unimpeded, through the Royal Street, and went straight to the Xuande Gate.

In this way, it can be said that the entire Chang'an knows the news of the great victory ahead.

When the Pegasus broke into the Vertical Arch Palace, he saw Lu Chengqi stand up excitedly, opened the fire-lacquered wooden box tremblingly, and after repeatedly confirming that it was correct, he laughed and said, "Okay, good fight!" ”

Seeing that although the Pegasus was tired, he was very excited, Lu Chengqi also said generously: "You go to the inner treasury and receive ten rewards!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

The Pegasus Rush retired, although this Pegasus Rush is not something ordinary people can do, hurry up along the way, change horses without changing people, and even sleep on the horse for a while. Beat the spirit, galloped for three days and three nights, and finally got Chang'an. Although there is a lot of money and a lot of military pay, those who are not good at riding will definitely not be able to do it. This kind of work of exchanging his life for money, Lu Chengqi still takes care of it. For better or worse, there is a reward.

A few times, a few times, a lot of ten, twenty times. Don't underestimate this ten yuan of money, it is already equivalent to tens of thousands of yuan in later generations. Dashun's copper coins are very valuable.

Lu Chengqi impatiently read the good news several times before he said viciously: "I finally got out of my breath, but it's not enough!" The blood debt of the border army and the people must be recovered one day! ”

Although he made a plan to send troops in the spring, Lu Chengqi was still a little apprehensive.

Without him, he is just worried about whether the treasury can afford to hold up this big war.

Once the Shunliao War begins, it will not be a matter of one day or two.

To fight a war is to fight the economy, to fight grain and grass, to fight logistics, as the saying goes, the emperor is not hungry soldiers! But now that the treasury is empty, can it survive this big war? But you can't fight it, now is the time when the Liao country is weak, and the timing is good, spring is the thinnest time for horses on the grassland, after the middle of winter, cattle, sheep, horses and llamas will freeze to death a lot. In this way, the topographical factor can be minimized.

After thinking about it, Lu Chengqi still felt that he had to ask from the town of Shangshulin, the Ministry of Households.

"Someone, summon the head of the household!"
