This fort was built to provide a warning signal for Shule, and two watchtowers were built in front of the fort to serve as a guard.

Li Changguo and the others came to the watchtower, divided into two teams, each team of five people, and climbed the watchtower. As far as the eye can see, you can see the scenery within a radius of several miles, and you will find it as soon as there is wind and grass.

After a while, the wind and waves were calm, and Li Changguo did not relax their vigilance, because this is the only way for Xiao Bolu to enter Shule, and the Tubo people are determined to win here.

Xiao Bolu was originally a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, but later rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and threw himself into the arms of Tibet. In order to win over Xiao Bolu, Tubo Zampu married the princess to Xiao Bolu Wang Su and failed.

After controlling Xiao Bolu, Tubo was thinking about entering the Western Regions all the time, and for this reason, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo had many wars in the Western Regions.

Especially during the period of Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian, the war between the two countries in the Western Regions was extremely fierce, and the Tang Dynasty once lost the four towns of Anxi, and later sent a large army to recapture it.

"Ding! Bite! Bite! ”

The bell of the camel rang from the west, and a caravan was heading towards the fort. This caravan is not small, there are nearly two hundred camels, it is a large caravan.

The road in front of the fort is the famous Silk Road, which runs through the east and west, and is the main artery of trade between the East and the West, and many caravans pass through here every day.

After entering the Western Regions, the Silk Road was divided into the South Road and the North Road, and the South Road had to pass through the Green Mountains.

"Keep your eyes open for me, take a closer look!"

Li Changguo frowned, and shouted loudly: "If it is the caravan of the Tang Dynasty, it will be fine, if it is Hu Shang, you must open my eyes to see clearly, and I can't let the annihilation get in!" ”

Ferré's soldiers all stared at the caravan with wide eyes, as if they were facing a great enemy.

It didn't take long for this caravan to come closer, and Li Changguo saw clearly that it was a caravan from the Tang Dynasty, not only because they were dressed in Tang costumes, but also because their faces were Tang people, which could never be wrong, it was a caravan from the Tang Dynasty.

"It's our caravan!"

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not relax their vigilance.

When the caravan came near, it stopped, and the merchant led by it jumped off his camel, walked quickly to the watchtower, and saluted Li Changguo and them, saying, "I have seen all the officers and soldiers!" We are a caravan of Datang, please give us convenience, we need water. ”

There is a mountain spring behind the fort, which is the only source of water within a radius of seventy or eighty miles, and most of the caravans passing through here will replenish drinking water here.

This kind of thing, the soldiers have experienced a lot, and they are not surprised at all, Li Changguo waved at Fei Lei and said, "You take them to fetch water." ”

"Obey!" Ferre took the order and led a few merchants to fetch water.

"It's just a meaning, it's not a respect, and please laugh!" The merchant first received a few pieces of broken silver, one of them was given, and Li Changguo was given two.

A piece of broken silver is almost three coins, which is equivalent to three hundred Kaiyuan Tongbao, which is a good income.

This kind of filial piety is accustomed to the soldiers, and they will accept it if they want to give it, and they will not force it if they don't give it.

"Where are you going?" Li Changguo took the silver and asked casually.

"Of course I'm going to Chang'an!" The merchant leader's voice was slightly higher and quite proud.

"Chang'an? Are you going to Chang'an? Liu Hao and the others were surprised and excited, and asked loudly: "Have you been to Chang'an?" ”

Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Empire, has an extremely important position in the minds of the Tang people, is the place that the Tang people yearn for, is the holy place in the minds of the Tang soldiers, if you can go to Chang'an, it is a very glorious thing. It's just that Liu Hao and his pawns, how can they have such an opportunity.

"I've been there several times!" The leader of the merchants raised his head and chest, and was very proud: "I didn't tell you, I have walked so many places, Chang'an is the most prosperous, there are countless people in Chang'an, if you walk on the street of Chang'an, sneez, the heat will spray on other people's necks." ”

Chang'an is the first megacity in Chinese history and human history with a permanent population of more than one million, far larger than other famous capitals in world history, such as Constantinople, Baghdad and Rome. These famous capitals in the West cannot be compared with Chang'an at all, it can be said that one heaven and one underground, not an order of magnitude.

"You must remember that if you go to Chang'an, don't sneeze indiscriminately, maybe spray it on a beautiful woman, then it will be a beautiful woman!" The merchant chief was an interesting man, and he did not forget to make jokes, which made everyone laugh.

Li Changguo smiled, this merchant leader was full of humor.

"There are three good places to go in Chang'an, Weishui, Longshouyuan and Qujiangchi." As soon as the merchant leader's words box was opened, he couldn't hold it back: "There are many beautiful people on the edge of Weishui, you must go to Weishui on the third day of March, there are groups of beauties there, there are countless of them, you will dazzle your eyes." Remember, bring a few more eyeballs, otherwise, you won't have to change the eyeballs if they fall off, and you will lose a lot if you don't see a beauty! ”

"Huh!" The crowd amused him with his funny words.

"You didn't go to the shore of Chengweishui on March 3 this year, so save a few eyeballs!" Li Changguo is also an interesting person, making fun of this merchant leader.

"Aren't I in Chang'an? If I am in Chang'an, I will definitely go! The merchant leader shook his head with a look of regret that he had missed the beauty.

Liu Hao and the others saw him in their eyes, admired him in their hearts, and couldn't wait to grow wings and fly to Chang'an.

"The Qujiang Pond in Chang'an is also a good place with beautiful scenery, and when you go to the Furong Garden, the royal garden of the Tang Dynasty, the people are allowed to enter, there is a sea of people." The merchant leader counted with his fingers, raised his eyebrows, and his face was flushed with joy: "In one month, it will be the day when the Hibiscus Garden can enter, and I can catch up." ”

These words had the power of earth-shattering and weeping ghosts and gods, and the soldiers almost dropped their eyeballs on the ground.

"If you want to say the best place to go in Chang'an, it should be Longshouyuan. It is the highest place in Chang'an, and you can overlook Chang'an when you climb the dragon head, and you can see the thousands of weather in the Tang Dynasty. After going to Chang'an, remember to climb the Dragon Shouyuan! The merchant leader reminded.

Fei Lei turned around with the merchant who was fetching water, and the caravan took their farewell to Li Changguo and set out for the place where the sun rose.

Although the caravan left, Liu Hao and the others were uneasy: "When can we go to Chang'an?" ”

"We are just pawns, and we are not blessed to go to Chang'an in this life!"

"That's not necessarily, Shi Chang is brave and fierce, if he makes military achievements, maybe he can enter Chang'an as an official, let's follow Shi Chang!"

"Most of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty have military merits, as long as Shi Chang has made great contributions, there is no problem in entering and exiting the generals, and we will have a good future with Shi Chang!"

Everyone has great confidence in Li Changguo. For a person like Li Changguo, who is a strong martial artist, joining the military means that he has a bright future, and he can't help but want to get into trouble.

"Ding! Bite! Bite! ”

The familiar camel bell rang, and another caravan appeared.

This time it was Hu Shang who came, and Li Changguo did not dare to relax in the slightest, and they were on guard, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"I've seen the officers and soldiers!"

The leader of Hu Shang greeted Li Changguo and them in his half-baked Chinese, took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his arms, stuffed it into Li Changguo's hand, and said with a smile: "It's just a meaning, it's not a respect, please laugh!" ”

"Tell me, what do you want?" Li Changguo threw away the silver, glanced at the leader of the Hu merchants, and asked lightly.

"What's the demand." The leader of Hu Shang smiled very kindly, as if he had seen his ancestor: "We have traveled all the way, we are very tired, and we want to find a place to rest and drink some hot water...... "His eyes looked at the fort, and the meaning could not be clearer, that is, to enter the fort to rest.

Li Changguo stared at the leader of Hu Shang and did not speak for a long time, and the leader of Hu Shang smiled vigorously and had a good attitude.

"You're a little Boru, aren't you?" Li Changguo suddenly asked.

The three guards behind the leader of Hu Shang pressed their right hands on the hilt of the sword, and their eyes flashed with fierce light.
