Chapter 55: Driving
The diligent government affairs building, the square in front of the building is crowded.
In front of Tang Xuanzong's dragon chariot, there were hundreds of civil and military officials kneeling to see him off.
I led Wang Long, Benniu, Dog Baby, and Yang Jian, riding a tall horse, standing in front of the dragon chariot, looking full of aura and majestic.
Chen Xuanli with 10,000 soldiers had gathered outside the east gate of Chang'an City.
To sum up, everything is ready, and when the auspicious time comes, the army will be mobilized.
At this time, a very loud voice said: The auspicious time has come, and the Holy One has set up.
As soon as the words fell, a deafening horn sounded on the square in front of the diligent government building.
I gently clamped my crotch with my legs, and the horse walked slowly towards the outside of the palace.
I took the lead, with Wang Long, Benniu, Gouwa, and Yang Jian following behind me.
A group of soldiers followed behind the horses of Wang Long, Benniu, and Gouwa, and behind this group of soldiers was Tang Xuanzong's dragon chariot, and around the dragon chariot was a eunuch and four palace maids.
Behind the dragon chariot was a group of accompanying ministers' horse team, and behind the minister's horse team, followed by a large number of soldiers.
We walked all the way out of the palace and walked to the streets of Chang'an City.
All the people of Chang'an City stopped to watch and welcomed.
I rode on my horse, smiled at the people on both sides, and waved my hand, and when the people saw that I was so friendly, they all applauded happily -- one -- this -- reading -- the novel {y}{b}{d}{u}, and there really felt like ten of them were sending the Red Army.
When we walked out of Chang'an City, Chen Xuanli's 10,000-strong army was already lined up on both sides of the official road.
Chen Xuanli saw that the emperor's dragon chariot had come out, and immediately rushed over.
Chen Xuanli: General Jiang, Chen's 10,000-strong army is here, please give General Jiang an order.
Me: General Chen, you will lead the 10,000 people of the Chen family army to the end and suppress the formation of the army.
Chen Xuanli: Commanded.
We hugged each other on the horse, and Chen Xuanli slapped his horse and rushed back to the troops.
I raised my right hand in the air and waved it forward, signaling my troops to move on.
We marched along the official road, and the whole army was like a huge long dragon, slowly marching eastward.
The army marched forward for more than thirty miles, and it was time for lunch.
I clenched my right hand into a fist and raised it high in the air, signaling the troops to stop advancing.
Me: Stupid cow, dog baby, pass the order down, the troops rest in place, bury the pot and cook.
Stupid Cow, Dog: Yes.
I turned over and dismounted, and looked ahead of the official road, but I couldn't see anything but the mountains.
Me: Brother Long, Brother Sword, let's go to the side of Long Yuan.
Wang Long: Okay.
Yang Jian didn't speak, just nodded.
We came to the dragon chariot and did a good job of protecting it everywhere, although there was no emperor in the dragon chariot, but in order to confuse the opponent, we still had to pretend that there was an emperor inside.
This is called, that is, the show begins, then, everyone on the stage must play their own role.
Me: Brother Long, Brother Jian, you are here to protect the emperor, and I will go to General Chen's side to have a look.
Wang Long: Okay.
Yang Jian can always not speak without speaking, he just told me with his sharp eyes that he knew what to do.
I just wanted to go to Chen Xuanli, but the stupid cow and the dog baby have already sent an order back.
Me: Stupid cow, dog baby, you are also here to protect the emperor.
Stupid Cow, Dog: Yes.
I walked alone towards Chen Xuanli's army.
When he came to the army, he found that Chen Xuanli was scolding a small soldier, and he scolded very loudly.
I hurried over and wondered what was going on?
When I was about to get to Chen Xuanli's side, I said loudly: General Chen, what happened?
When Chen Xuanli heard my voice, he turned around and said, "General Jiang, you are here."
I walked over and glanced at the little soldier, and was really surprised, this person was none other than Xue Baozhu.
Me: Miss Xue, aren't you messing around?
Xue Baozhu said triumphantly: I also want to go to Mount Tai to play.
As soon as I heard this, I thought: If you want to go to Mount Tai to play, you can set off with the emperor! We're going to war.
However, I can't tell her the truth now, because this is an important secret related to whether or not I can destroy a bowl of porridge sect.
Me: Miss Xue, don't walk around here first, I'll go over there with General Chen to talk about something.
Xue Baozhu glanced at me angrily and didn't speak.
I took Chen Xuanli's hand and said, "General Chen, take a step to speak."
I pulled Chen Xuanli to a small hillside and said, "General Chen, there is something I have always wanted to ask you, but I am afraid that you will be surprised.
Speaking of which, I didn't say any more, because Chen Xuanli seemed to know what I was going to ask him.
Xuanli Chen: You want to ask if Baozhu is my biological daughter, right?
Me: Yes, of course, Jiang didn't mean anything else, he just felt that General Chen was too spoiled by her, and if she got married in the future, who could stand her temper!
Chen Xuanli: Hey! She has today's temper, and it is indeed caused by the old man.
After Chen Xuanli finished speaking, he looked up at the sky.
I found that his eyes full of vicissitudes were filled with tears.
At this moment, I realized how well this ancient Chinese saying is in place.
A general who has been famous for a long time, has experienced a hundred battles, has seen countless life and death, and should be said to be an extremely strong person.
However, when he talked about his daughter, she was still so fragile, like fragile glass, which shattered to the ground at the slightest touch.
Chen Xuanli looked at the sky for a long time, slowly regained his calm, and then said: Regarding Baozhu's life experience, Chen has never mentioned it to anyone, so tell General Jiang today.
Me: General Chen, if there is anything unspeakable, don't say it.
Chen Xuanli waved his hand at me and said: Actually, the old man can see that she is in love with General Jiang.
As soon as I heard this, it was as if I had heard a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which was extremely scary!
I thought: If this woman marries and goes home, she won't make the family troublesome.
I didn't think much about it, smiled at Chen Xuanli, and said: There is no such thing, right?
Chen Xuanli: General Jiang, although the old man has never been married in his life, he has seen too much about the love of his children, and the old man's understanding of the treasure beads, this matter must not be wrong.
As soon as I heard this, I thought to myself: Judging from Xue Baozhu's appearance alone, it is not bad to marry home. However, her temper was so bad that I couldn't bear it.
I don't know how to answer this question, so I can only laugh wryly.
Chen Xuanli: The old man knew that General Jiang thought Baozhu's temper was too bad; In fact, she has a very kind heart, and as for this temper, it is exactly the same as her biological father.
Me: So, who is Miss Xue's biological father?
Chen Xuanli: Baozhu is the great-great-granddaughter of Xue Rengui, the general of this dynasty, the granddaughter of Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua, and the daughter of Xue Gang, the general of the Right Wuwei during the period of Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou, and she is now the only one left in the Xue family.
As soon as I heard that Xue Baozhu was Xue Rengui's descendant, I was in awe of her, and thought: When I was in Shanghai before, I often watched TV series, what is the legend of Xue Rengui, Xue Dingshan's expedition to the West, and the Tang Dynasty heroine Fan Lihua, I can see that I admire the Xue family very much.
Thinking of this, I feel very strange, the Xue family has done so many things for the Tang Dynasty, logically speaking, it should be inexhaustible in glory and wealth, how could it be that there is only this one person left?
I was very puzzled, so I asked Chen Xuanli: General Chen, how can this be?
Chen Xuanli sighed and said: General Xue Gang drank too much wine at a Lantern Festival lantern festival, and he didn't know how to have a conflict with Wu Zetian's eldest son.
As soon as I heard this, I was in awe of this Xue Gang, and thought: Xue Gang is really a talent, and the emperor's son dares to kill him.
Me: Because General Xue Gang killed Wu Zetian's eldest son, Wu Zetian beheaded the Xue family, right?
Chen Xuanli: That's right, the Xue family was beheaded all over the house, and only Xue Baozhu, who was still in infancy, was hidden in the cellar by General Xue Gang's subordinates, so he escaped this catastrophe. Later, the subordinate who hid Xue Baozhu in the cellar took Xue Baozhu back to his home, treated her as his daughter, and raised her as an adult.
Me: It turns out that General Chen is a subordinate of General Xue Gang!
Chen Xuanli: Being able to become a member of the Xue family is a blessing in Chen's life.
Me: Miss Xue shouldn't know her background either, right?
Chen Xuanli: Yes, she didn't know, but she asked me why her surname was Xue and not Chen, and I told her that your mother died after giving birth to you, and in order to commemorate your mother, I asked you to follow your mother's surname.
Me: In order to keep Miss Xue from doubting his background, General Chen simply chose to die alone, right?
Chen Xuanli: General Jiang is really talented and intelligent, and he can't hide anything from General Jiang's eyes.
As soon as I heard this, I glanced at Chen Xuanli with admiration, but my eyes were too small for him to see my eyes.
Me: In this way, Miss Xue is also a poor person, I hope she can live happily!
Chen Xuanli: Chen also thinks so, everything is destined by God, let everything go naturally.
Me: General Chen is a human being, Jiang deeply admires, Jiang once discussed Zen with Master Wuxiang, and Master Wuxiang also taught Jiang to go with the flow and follow the trend in everything.
Chen Xuanli: I hope General Jiang can keep this secret for the old man.
Me: Please rest assured General Chen, Jiang will be tight-lipped. The soldiers must have already made their meals, so let's go down and eat.
Chen Xuanli: General Jiang, please.
Me: General Chen, please first.
We walked down the hillside and returned to the army.
Me: Miss Xue, since you're here, you can follow me in front.
What I mean by this is completely for her safety, I don't want to, Xue Baozhu doesn't give me any face.
Xue Baozhu: Why do you want to follow you? I'm going to follow the soldiers.
When I saw Xue Baozhu say this, I could only shake my head helplessly.
Me: In that case, General Chen, Jiang will take his leave first.
Chen Xuanli: General Jiang, Chen apologizes to you for the matter of the little girl, and I hope that General Jiang will not take it to heart.
Me: General Chen has seen the outside, I, Jiang Dazhi, have never been a stingy person, so I will take my leave.
I saluted Chen Xuanli and Xue Baozhu, but Xue Baozhu did not give me a salute in return, but gave me a roll of the eyes.
For the sake of Xue Rengui's face, I don't bother to worry so much about her.
I walked back to the side of the dragon chariot, and everyone was already eating.
After lunch, the army continued to march.
At this moment, I was in good spirits.
Because, a bowl of porridge may appear at any time; So, I have to be ready to go into battle at any time.
