"Haba, old haba, why don't you hurry up? Didn't you sacrifice all your cattle and sheep and walk such a long way just to see the capital before you died? If you want to see it, hurry up and hurry, the weather is good today, hurry up, and you can rush to Chang'an at noon! ”

As soon as the sky was shining, a loud and gruff voice broke the silence, causing echoes. Although many people were awakened www.biquge.info, no one expressed dissatisfaction, because the words spoken in a loud voice had a very uplifting effect.

Changan!

Among the border states of the Han Empire, this is an extremely desirable word, and there are definitely no more than ten nouns that can be juxtaposed with it in the world!

In an instant, the town on the banks of the Jingshui River turned from silence to noise, with cheers, neighing, and people happily talking about related topics, and bursts of laughter from time to time.

But the protagonist in that sentence, Lao Haba, never showed up for a long time, and even though the loud voice shouted several times, no one answered. Soon, the noisy travelers also realized that something was wrong, and began to focus on the small porter next to the stables.

"Are you dead?"

"It's hard to say, it's not the first time this kind of thing, it's all those old shepherd slaves who have no children and grandchildren to support, and they use most of their life's savings to come to the Central Plains for a pilgrimage, saying that they will die in the Central Plains and be able to live here in the next life...... That's what they believed. ”

"It's a pity, it's only half a day's journey......"

The big voice was a bearded, bloated down jacket, and the beard on his face was too long. So much so that he couldn't even see his facial features clearly, but after hearing these discussions. But a visibly worried expression could be seen on his face.

"This old thing, it's not good when to die. just died at this time, this time it was to escort the prince to pay homage to the son of heaven and the general, if this is a missed time, it will be fatal! He scolded and stepped forward, pushed the door open, and was very depressed.

It doesn't matter if you die, but this person is in his team, and according to the rules, he must give the other party the aftermath. Though it is not enough to do any rituals. But obviously, it is impossible to throw people into the wild casually, and you must always explain to the sheriff's office, so that you will not have half a day, and you must not think about setting off.

"What a bad luck!" He scolded angrily, and the big palm of Pu Fan grabbed directly into the depths of darkness.

He almost decided in his heart that the other party was dead, and thought about bringing out the body first. After all, this porter was not a place to live, it was dirty and broken, and there was dust and cobwebs everywhere. I couldn't even find a place to put my feet.

He was just greedy to save money for the house, so he told the boss to be accommodating in order to accommodate the old shepherd slave who had been brought over. You know, this kind of hotel is located on the only way to Chang'an. The price is precious! Any room will cost at least one gold coin to live in!

One imperial gold coin can buy seven or eight sheep on the grassland. How could he spend it on an old shepherd slave who had nothing to do with it?

He accurately grasped the old herdsman's leg, but the touch from his hand was obviously wrong. Not only was there heat, but the legs were still trembling slightly!

Fortunately, the big man has experienced life and death battles. I wasn't so frightened that I screamed on the spot, but I was slightly stunned, then took two steps back and scolded: "Old immortal, Lao Tzu called you, are you still pretending to be dead?" If you have the ability, you will continue to pretend, don't blame Lao Tzu for leaving you halfway! ”

"No, no, Master Hu, no, don't be angry!" Out of the darkness crawled out of a man in a leather robe, because he came out on his knees, so he couldn't see his face clearly, and from his figure, he could see that this was a man who was too thin to look good, he knelt on the ground, kowtowing again and again.

"It's just that I'm going to Shenjing, I'm excited, I'm in a trance all night, and I'm older, and my ears are back...... You have a lot of them, spare the old pug. ”

"It feels like this is the Central Plains! What does it look like to kneel and worship, do you want the Sheriff's Office to convict Lao Tzu of trespassing? The big man frowned and said: "Forget it this time, there will be no next time anyway, the team is on the road, you can follow it yourself." With that, he walked away as if he were fleeing from the plague.

Seeing that there were no dead people, the onlookers had no desire to see the excitement, so they dispersed in a hurry, and they were busy with their own affairs, leaving only the old shepherd slave crawling on the ground.

The old shepherd did not hurry to get up, but raised his face, looked deeply at the water rushing outside the door, and his face could no longer see the humility and deference of a moment ago, and his cloudy eyes were filled with a brilliance mixed with nostalgia and reminiscence.

"Jingshui Qing...... Weishui turbidity ...... Who is boating on the river...... The place where the soul returns is the homeland...... Chang'an, Chang'an! On the dusty face, the chapped lips moved slightly, and the faint inaudible voice recited a song full of Han style!

If the previous Master Hu heard it, he would definitely be able to scare him into falling down. Although the Han civilization is being respected by more and more people as the power of the empire spreads far and wide, no matter how deeply rooted it is in the hearts of the people, it has not yet reached the level that an old herdsman on the grassland can write a poem - this has nothing to do with the literary value of the poem itself, this is a matter of common sense.

Even in Liaodong, where the king has been the longest, the shepherds there are more slippery, and compared with the authentic Central Plains people, there is not much difference, that's all. At this level of literacy and hyphenation, in addition to the relatives of princes and generals, only some people who have made great contributions and have the highest loyalty to the empire are eligible for education, and there may not be one among the ten thousand steppe people!

As a result, a lowly old shepherd suddenly recited poetry, which is completely unimaginable!

Combined with the last two affectionate calls, if an experienced police detective from the Sheriff's Department was here, he might have guessed something, but now there is no one around the old shepherd.

Not far away there was the sound of wheels moving, and there were people calling the name 'Haba', and the old shepherd stood up, patting the dust on his body alternately with his hands, and then he staggered in the direction from which the sound of the carriage and horses came.

……

Today's Central Plains is very different from the past, and the most intuitive thing is the spacious and flat galloping road. This is the road that the old Haba and his party walked. Named Yongliang Highway, it is one of the important passages connecting Liangzhou and Guanzhong.

The road is very wide. It can accommodate sixteen carriages in parallel at the same time.

The pavement is the so-called triple soil, which is a layer of cinder. A layer of gravel, covered with a layer of earth, is durable, far above the old dirt road.

With such a magnificent road, just walking on it, people's spirits will suddenly be lifted. But this also has to divide people, and Haba's group looks very rustic when they walk on it.

To say that the identity of this team is actually not so bad, they are an armed caravan belonging to the Marquis of Dingbei. The Marquis of Dingbei was originally the title of the White Horse General Gongsun Zhan. Now it has been passed into the hands of his son Gongsun Xu, and the old general has been disarmed and returned to his hometown more than 20 years ago, and has returned to the Central Plains to enjoy happiness.

This time the team was led by Muyu, the son of the Marquis of Dingbei, on the one hand, to meet the Son of Heaven and the general, and on the other hand, to worship the old marquis. For the sake of trade, he divided the team into several groups, and led people to ride lightly, and the other caravans would gather in Chang'an at the appointed time.

The power of Dingbei Hou is not small, in the year when the old general was disarmed. The Dingbei army had crossed the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and was neck and neck with the Duliao Marquis who had reached the bank of the weak water river, and the territory was divided by Hulun Lake on both sides.

In terms of the size of the territory alone, the two sides together are not much smaller than the Central Plains. What's more, in the past 20 years, Gongsun Xu, who inherited his father's business, has not been idle.

The day when Lao Haba went south with the team happened to be the anniversary of the completion of Beihai City for eight years. With this new city as the center, the offensive of the Dingbei Army was in full swing. Their opponents changed one stubble after another, Xianbei, Ding Ling, and Jiankun. But no one could stop them.

One tribe after another was wiped out, and cities were built, but they couldn't stop at all, and no one knew where the Dingbei Army would stop in the end.

But no matter how big the territory is, no matter how prosperous the martial arts are, it can't change the location of the center of the world, everything in the Central Plains...... Food, clothing, housing, transportation, and the dream of wealth are beyond the reach of other places.

As they got closer and closer to Chang'an City, the herdsmen who were still talking about Shenjing not long ago became quieter and quieter.

Their eyes widened, their breath was held, and their nostrils twitched, as if they were going to imprint everything they saw along the way, on all their senses.

The only exception is the old Haba, although what he saw at this moment is very different from his memory many years ago, but this mountain, this water, this flower, but how many times lingering in the dream, it is unforgettable.

But to be honest, Chang'an, where he once came, was far less prosperous than it is now. At that time, the rebels in Xiliang came in waves, and the imperial court proposed several times to abandon Sanfu, except for the city and the palace in the city, Chang'an was not necessarily much stronger than the current Beihai City.

But now it's really different, the sixteen-open avenue is like water, the horse is like a dragon, if it weren't for the good enough order, the whole road would not be squeezed into a ball.

Every mile you walk, you can find a town, which has the function of a market and a transit place, and almost all the residents of the town make a living from commerce. Some people open various stores, some specialize in the circulation of materials, and some specialize in providing various related services.

For example, in the team now, there is a person wearing a green shirt and a square scarf walking with Hu Boss, who leads the team, walking forward with square steps, pointing around and making various explanations.

This is a man who is a guide by profession, and he is faced with people like them who come from other places on pilgrimage or as a trader.

There were such people before, but they would never make a living from them, but again, none of the guides Haba had ever seen were more professional than this one.

"That's a railroad, it's a carriage running on the tracks, what's the use? Haha, the benefits are great, those rails are smooth, and even with heavy loads, they are easy to pull...... You see, there's another one over there, and the car is full of coal, it's a long-distance trip, and it's going to the Western Regions...... If it weren't for the rail car, how could it be so easy to deliver materials to the Western Regions? ”

"Liaodong is also going to be built, you should know, right? Well, I heard that construction will start in western Liaoning, isn't there a seaport over there......"

"Actually, Chang'an is not the most prosperous, we have three capitals in the Han Dynasty, Luoyang in the middle, Bohai in the east, and Chang'an in Xijing. How can there be three? Hehe, of course, there is a need for this, to put it simply, Luoyang is a cultural and academic center, gathering more than half of the scholars of the empire, and the original North Palace has been built into a library, how many books do you say? Some of the most famous universities in the empire were located there. There is a good saying, no matter how high the knowledge is. I've been to Luoyang and boasted about myself ......"

"Chang'an is actually a military center. The six hussar armies of the Han Dynasty, four of which are stationed here, say that prosperity actually means that it can be passed, all relying on the convenience brought by the transportation of materials, not to mention that compared with the two capitals of the East and the West, it is some other big cities in the Central Plains, which are also a lot inferior. Chang'an's reputation is mainly external, because every time the hussars go out, they use this as a starting point. The Great Han Hussars were invincible. Conquer everything, and naturally have a reputation. ”

"If you really want to talk about prosperity, you still have to count the Bohai Sea!"

The guide gave a thumbs up, and there was a rare look of longing in his eyes, "The location of the Eastern Capital is in the southern part of the original Bohai Kingdom...... You may not know this, but let's put it this way, the general swept away Yuan Shao back then, and he was in the Qing and Ji periods. It was once set up in Gaotang, and now Bohai is developed on the basis of Gaotang......"

"Compared with the original Gaotang, the current Bohai Sea is surrounded by the big river. To the east was the sea, the political and economic center of the empire. If you want to talk about prosperity, there is. Chang'an, I'm afraid it's even a tenth. Well, it's not an exaggeration to say it's one percent. That's the real beauty of the world. What a wonder of the world! ”

The guide paused for a moment, observed the expressions of the audience, and suddenly asked, "It seems that a few of you don't believe it?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, I just can't think about ......it," Boss Hu shook his head like a drum, and explained in a panic: "I just think that this Chang'an City is already like a fairyland, so how can the Bohai Sea exceed a hundred times?" ”

Ten miles and one town, three or five miles and one village, in the periphery of Chang'an, such a population density, where can people who have been in the wild land outside the Saiwai for a long time be able to imagine? But it's still relatively less prosperous, which is really unbelievable.

"What is this? Don't look at the many towns, they are all around the delivery of materials to the outside world, the general said well, Chang'an's pillar industries are congenitally insufficient, forced development, will only waste resources in vain, but will destroy the bad environment. Look at the Bohai Sea again, where the sea is located, isn't the most prosperous thing in our Han Kingdom now is the sea trade? ”。

"In short, if you have the opportunity to go to the Bohai Sea, if you don't have the opportunity to go to the Bohai Sea, it is the same if you go to Xuzhou or Jiangnan, because of the prosperity of maritime trade, even remote places like Dongzhi are now very popular...... What is Toji? How so? It's a small city near the sea in the southeast corner of the empire, which is really hard to explain. ”

Hearing this, a question suddenly arose in Haba's heart: In which capital is that mighty general resided? What about the Son of Heaven? Boss Hu said that this time the prince is going to come to Chang'an to pay homage to the Son of Heaven and the general, have they been in Chang'an all along? But if what the guide said is correct, then didn't he let go of the economic lifeline? In this way, he is not afraid of danger?

Although he was disturbed by this series of questions, the old man did not dare to ask rashly, it was by this forbearance that he lived to this day, and he would not take any risks until his last wish was satisfied.

Fortunately, there were also well-informed and curious people in the caravan who quickly asked similar questions.

"The general's old man is generally in the Bohai Sea, and His Majesty is in the palace in Luoyang. If it weren't for the personal guidance of the general, how could the sea trade have developed into what it is today in just over 30 years? As for Your Majesty, in the university, the bachelors and academicians with outstanding achievements have graduated, but they are all issued by the Son of Heaven to the Medal of Honor, and of course it is more convenient for Your Majesty to stay in Luoyang. ”

"On the Chang'an side, it is usually mainly operated by a few generals, anyway, there has been no war in these years, and it is already remarkable to dispatch a general. Basically, Chang'an is the general of Shangzhu Guoda who is in charge, you can't know his name, right? ”

Boss Hu was not asked this time, he gave a thumbs up, and looked like a proud look: "Changshan Zhao Zilong, he is still working under the command of our old marquis!" Now on the grassland, just this one name can be intimidating! General Zhao of Shangzhu State, two generals Zhang on the left and right, the wind is on fire, who is not frightened? ”

Listening to the familiar names, Haba's thoughts began to wander.

Speaking of which, he also worked with the right general Zhang Jaw. More than 40 years seem to have passed in an instant, and the gap between the two sides is really different.

How did all this happen? Haba struggled to keep his cloudy eyes open, trying to find something in the depths of his distant memory.

Yes, he was once the enemy of these people, and he was committed to subverting the hussars' superiority in the world. However, failure after failure. but pushed himself into the abyss......

"Chang'an, it's Chang'an!" A crying cheer woke him from his memory. When he looked up, in the strong midday sun, a majestic city glittered, and in the golden halo, the ancient city glowed with a dreamlike brilliance, which could not be accurately described by words such as splendor alone.

"Chang'an!"

"Shenjing!"

The cheers came and went, like layers of waves. The people who have admired it for a long time have no other way but to shout these two words with the greatest force. can slightly vent the agitation in my heart.

This is the charm of Xijing of the Han Empire!

……

The guide and the people of Chang'an have seen a lot of this situation, and they don't think it's strange, they just quietly wait for these dirt buns to return to calm. Contempt is unnecessary, and self-confident Empire people do not need to use this method to assert their superiority.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the caravan restarted on the road, and someone began to look at Shu and asked with a bit of luck: "I don't know if the prince has arrived...... Speaking of which, Boss Hu, since you want to meet the Son of Heaven and the general. Do we also want to go to Luoyang and Bohai? ”

"The prince only said let us come to Chang'an." Boss Hu shook his head and didn't explain much.

The guide suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty and the general will come to Chang'an in the near future, why?" Because the empire is going to launch a large-scale campaign in the near future, how big? Well. It is said that 50,000 hussars will be dispatched! ”

"Fifty thousand?!"

Boss Hu was frightened, gasped and said, "When the Marquis of Xihai rebelled, the empire didn't use so many counterinsurgency forces, right?" This time, you have to use 50,000 hussars? Who are you going to deal with? Is there any rival in this world worthy of the Empire? ”。

Xihaihou was Yuan Tan's title at the beginning. Later, Yuan Tan told the old man and gave up his position to his younger brother Yuan Shang. The latter is an ambitious man. was instigated by others, but he turned into a rebellious heart!

He sent messengers. They got in touch with several surrounding princes, including: Marquis of Yanran, Gao Jun, the son of Gao Gan, Marquis of Dawan, Ma Dai, and other princes of more than ten roads in the northwest, hoping to jointly send troops. Even if you can't, you want the other side to remain neutral.

Except for Ma Dai's categorical refusal and hostility, the others did not give an immediate reply, and the situation suddenly became delicate.

This is the change that occurred 20 years ago, that is, in the 29th year of Kaiyuan, and it is the biggest crisis that Wang Yu has faced since he established the country.

At that time, the Wind and Fire Cavalry was invited by Hou Ma Chao of Pingxi to go to the Western Regions under the leadership of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to fight against the Yue Clan. The Taishan army participated in the pacification battle south of Jiaozhou.

Although Chang'an is guarded by Yu Ban and the Yulin Army, the Yulin Army is mainly foot soldiers, and the mobility is too poor, but the strength is enough to suppress the Gongsun Zan of the West Sea, Gongsun Xu is still handing over power, and Ma Chao is attacking the Yue Kingdom with Zhao Yun.

With the Yulin Army alone, it is difficult to prevent Yuan Shang, and Chang'an is the most empty time.

Once Yuan Shang breaks through to the Central Plains, it is likely to cause an extremely serious chain reaction. It was because of this that the princes of the northwest kept watching, thinking that if Yuan Shang succeeded, would they be able to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

However, at a critical juncture, their own talents stand out!

At that time, a group of cadets from the Military Academy were interning at the border gates, and Yu Ban, who stayed in Chang'an, sent someone to inform them, with the intention of letting them withdraw to safety as soon as possible. As a result, Deng Ai, who was the most prestigious of the students, Deng Ai, who was twenty-four years old at the time, and Jiang Wei, who had the best grades and was eighteen years old at the time, put forward completely opposite opinions.

The two agreed that since Yuan Tan, Xihailing has not used troops for more than five years, and although the momentum is great, it is not to be feared. Let him just toss like this, but it is easy to disturb people's hearts and cause accidents.

Led by two people, 234 cadets, plus more than 4,000 armed caravans and cavalry along the way, carried out a 3,000-mile raid.

Yuan Shang only cared about guarding against Ma Dai, and he didn't expect that a cavalry would come out of Liangzhou and was caught off guard. In Juyanhai, the 5,000 Han army broke the 100,000 Western Navy, and Jiang Wei beheaded Yuan Shang and shocked the world.

After Gao Jun heard the news, he surrendered, and the princes from all walks of life in the northwest went to Chang'an to ask for guilt. Yuan Shang's ambition eventually achieved the name of the empire.

Since then, there has been a proverb in the world that says: The Han army is not more than 10,000, and it is invincible!

Suddenly, I heard that the Han army had made a big move and was preparing to dispatch 50,000 hussars, which was a bit appalling.

"It seems to be Rome or Persia?" The guide replied uncertainly. He couldn't be better-informed. It can only find out non-confidential information, although this kind of national war-level military intelligence may not be a high-level secret. But it's not something he can inquire about in this capacity.

"Anyway, in a few days, Your Majesty and the Great General will hold a military parade in the Lingyan Pavilion outside the Zhicheng Gate, and you will know when the time comes. Speaking of which. The luck of a few of them is really good, how many years has the empire not had such a grand event? There is no opponent in this world at all, and it is worth fighting with all the strength of the hussars. ”

……

Wang Yu walked slowly up the steps of Lingyan Pavilion, although it was not too much of a burden, but if he wanted to be the same as before, it would definitely not be possible to climb to the top as if he were walking on the ground.

Forty-five years have passed since the fourth year of the unification of the world, and it should be 235 years in the later AD. Wang Yu, who used to be a dragon and a tiger, is now nearly seventy years old, and naturally he is no longer used for the year.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who followed him, were even worse. Both of them were panting and sweating like rain, and there were only more than 100 steps, and it took them three breaks to finish.

However, no one thought of letting people come to help, the portraits enshrined on the Lingyan Pavilion were all companions who lived and died together, and the portraits were all taken from their most active periods, all of them were full of spirit and high spirits.

Whether it was Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong, they didn't want their peers or competitors to see their embarrassment.

And whenever you come to this place. Seeing those familiar figures, you will have a trance feeling of going back in time. Because of nostalgia, and because there are fewer and fewer old people around him, Wang Yu and his important ministers are extremely nostalgic for this place.

The portrait of Cao Cao, the Marquis of Chen, is at the bottom of the list. Twenty-eighth.

Although he worked hard for fifteen years, he finally died in the official office due to overwork. But after all, his identity and experience are there. Many people are reluctant to let him be on the bench, let alone put him at the top. Although Wang Yu said nothing, he was unwilling to force everyone's will. Just put it at the bottom of the list.

During Cao Cao's period, the Han Dynasty was in the midst of drastic social changes, and without Cao Cao's sophistication, it might have taken ten more years to achieve similar results.

Of course, Zhuge Liang, who took over, was not inferior to his predecessor in the slightest, but after all, when Cao Cao was the prime minister, the former was still too young. Wang Yu didn't want this pillar of talent to work too hard, but he never thought that Cao Cao would block this disaster for Zhuge Liang.

Therefore, there is Wang Yu's autograph inscription on Cao Cao's portrait: Bow to the end, and then die. But many people didn't understand the meaning, and Wang Yu could only entertain himself.

"It's a pity that Gongjin ......" ranked twenty-seventh is Zhou Yu, who is also a hero who does not belong to the founding period of the People's Republic of China and has an embarrassing identity.

"If it weren't for Brother Gongjin, the development of Nanyang would not have been able to make such rapid progress, if his heroic spirit is still there, he must have smiled when he sees today's grand occasion." Zhuge Liang nodded and echoed.

He and Zhou Yu debated fiercely in Jiangxia for 24 days, and since then they have become a relationship of mutual affection but competition. It was a time of boiling passion, and the two competed with each other and promoted each other, and both went one step further. Later, Zhou Yu died of a heart attack in Nanyang, and the saddest was Zhuge Liang.

At this time, seeing the appearance of the deceased, it was also sad for a while.

Walking slowly, the eyes of the three monarchs and ministers swept over the old faces.

Tian Feng, who also died because of hard work; is completely opposite to him, stealing most of his life to be lazy, and finally enjoying the age of eighty-six, Jia Xu who almost became a fairy; Yu Ban and Xu Huang, who have been guarding the frontier for 40 years; Because he refused to accept old age, he went into battle at the age of eighty and died in the great battle with the Persian Empire......

Each portrait can evoke a memory, and the familiar sound and smile are still in front of you.

Wang Yu suddenly sighed with emotion: "Brother Yide's painter should be listed among the masters of the world." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and agreed: "Indeed, if it weren't for Mrs. Cai holding an art exhibition in Xuzhou, who would have thought that General Zhang would have lived in seclusion in Xuzhou for so many years and still made a living from painting?" And about the generals too...... It's a pity that these two have lost the ambition they had back then, otherwise they would ......"

"Kong Ming is bad." Pang Tong said suddenly: "Although the two generals Guan and Zhang have no intention of making a name for themselves, General Guan Er and General Zhang Xiao are not inferior to their fathers, and they are also the pillars of the hussar army over the years. ”

Wang Yu smiled and nodded, for the old people back then, even if they were enemies. He didn't bother with recourse either. Liu Bei or Sun Quan. None of them can threaten the security of the Empire anymore, since that is the case. Why not let them choose their lives again?

In fact, if you want to find Sun Quan, there are still clues.

In recent years, there is a novelist in Toji who is very popular. The satirical novels he writes are penetrating and have the ability to reach the depths of the soul.

Wang Yu was most impressed by his novel called "Heaven and Earth", which tells the story of brothers who grew up dependent on each other, and later turned against each other for various reasons, and the younger brother killed the elder brother, but the elder brother did not fight back. In the end, the younger brother encountered great danger. There was no one to rely on, so he said something like this: It would be nice if the eldest brother was still there...... With that, he jumped off the cliff.

This is not a heartfelt statement, Wang Yu thought.

When he reached the last ten portraits, Wang Yu stopped again, frowned and asked, "Where did Ziyi run again?" ”

The years did not affect Zhuge Liang's amazing memory in the slightest, and he replied without thinking: "Does the lord still remember the dispute between the Marquis of Duliao and the Marquis of Zhendong?" ”

"Hmm," in comparison, Wang Yu's memory is much worse. He thought for a moment before he found the relevant information in his memory, "Is it the incident between Chen Yuanlong and Gongsun Wenyi fighting for Ezo Island?" When did that guy learn to mediate? ”

"The lord doesn't know." Pang Tong said with a smile: "The Marquis of Duliao is not plotting to seize Ezo Island in order to expand the land. He just took a fancy to the location of Ezo Island and wanted to use it as a pedal to explore eastward. ”

"To the east? That's not ......" Wang Yu was slightly taken aback. To the east of Ezo Island, isn't that America? Although the development of the New World is a matter of time. But it's a bit surprising to put it on the agenda now.

"General Ziyi didn't go to mediate. He was very interested in Dongdu, and for this reason, he also deliberately brought in Wen Chang, Xunyi and General Xingba, plus Yuan Zhi, Wen Qi, and Mrs. Taishi, and the specifications were quite high...... "Pang is in charge of intelligence, and he is like a treasure about the movements of all parties."

"I said why can't I see these guys lately." Wang Yu was slightly puzzled: "Xingba, Yuan Zhi, Wen Qi, and Zhu Rong are just a few, how can Xunyi's wood, and Wen Chang's unprofitable guy who can't afford to be early, be willing to accompany him to mess around?" ”

"Oh, I heard that during the Eastern Expedition that year, General Wenchang promised that he would unconditionally agree to General Ziyi's request, so ......"

Wang Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes, and complained: "Ziyi, this guy is really far-sighted, the promise made more than forty years ago ......" He shook his head: "Wen Chang's character is really good." It seems that he has to go to this new world? ”

Pang Tong nodded: "With the identities of those people, even if the Marquis of Zhendong wants Ezo Island again, it is impossible to refuse their request, and the Marquis of Duliao has the style of his ancestors, and his enthusiasm for navigation is also very high, so it must be irrevocable." ”

"Tai Shi Ci discovered the New World, hey, it does sound majestic, let him go." Wang Yu thought about it in pieces, and finally smiled with relief, and said: "Kong Ming, you shouldn't have to worry about manpower, all kinds of materials should try to meet them as much as possible. ”

"Yes." Zhuge Liang responded with a smile.

Obviously, the lord wants everyone to finish the last journey of their lives together, but others don't think so, just like the old general Huang back then, who was obviously that old, but he wanted to go to the front line to fight.

Zhuge Liang knew very well in his heart that these people were not short of fame and wealth, they just didn't want to die on the couch.

"My lord, the hour is almost up." Seeing that Wang Yu had come to the end, Pang Tong reminded softly.

"Well," Wang Yu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Then let's start!" ”

……

Han, the forty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, March 17, Chenshi.

On the Lingyan Pavilion, the tallest building in Chang'an City, which enshrines the heroic soul of the founding hero, the hussar flag that everyone in the world knows is rising. Almost at the same time, the drums of war came, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians gathered outside the west gate, cheering to their heart's content.

Wang Yu was used to such cheers, so he just raised his hand slightly, but his eyes looked at the head of the city under the Yellow Dragon.

As if feeling Wang Yu's gaze, a slightly pale but graceful face was revealed at the window, which was Liu Xie. Seeing Wang Yu, the son of heaven who was set up in the air did not have a trace of resentment or annoyance, showed a smile like a warm spring breeze, and bowed slightly at Wang Yu.

is also a puppet, but Liu Xie and the historical Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty are completely different, in Luoyang, the cultural center of the empire. He is like a fish in water, enjoying the glory at the same time. Academically, it is also a great show. He specializes in psychology and now has a duly accredited academician degree.

The ground shook suddenly. Exactly the same rhythm as the drum beat.

The cheers inside and outside the city were slightly stagnant, and the next moment they suddenly went up a new step.

"The great Han is mighty, the general is mighty, and the hussars are invincible!"

"Hussars out of the plug, raise my heroic!"

The hussars are coming!

Fifty phalanxes of thousands of people streamed out from the city gates, led by a knight, dressed in crimson armor and holding a halberd drawn by the sky. Under the crotch rode a war horse like coals, and the whole person was like a raging fire.

In a trance, Wang Yu almost thought that he had turned back time and returned to Luoyang, where the flames were raging again, and he was about to win a decisive battle with the invincible Lu Wenhou in the world.

However, downstairs came the shouts of his wife Lu Qiling, and Wang Yu came back to his senses and knew that it was not the person who was resurrected, but the pioneer general of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. His youngest son, Wang Fengxian. Among his twelve sons, this son is the most brave, after all, with Lu Bu's blood flowing on his body, it is not surprising that he is blue.

"Twelve! Twelve! The world's sharpest twelve! The cheers became rhythmic. The crowd shouted in unison. Although separated by one floor, Wang Yu still felt the joy and relief of his wife.

It was followed by a neat phalanx of iron horsemen.

This time the cheers were much quieter, because the equipment of the Iron Rider was much worse than before. It looked as if it was moving closer to the light cavalry, and the iconic extra-long cavalry spear was gone. Only waist knives or chain hammers around the waist. and a strange-shaped weapon on his back.

The weapon looked like a repeater or something, but it wasn't. Rao is a fierce folk in Guanzhong, and there are many veterans who have fought in battle, and no one knows what it is.

"Ten years of sharpening a sword, a battle is decided." Pang Tong smiled lightly and said meaningfully: "Woe to the Roman and Persian wings. ”

Wang Yu didn't answer, but just smiled knowingly.

The weapons that changed the times finally appeared, firearms, to be precise, hot weapons!

It was not a historical breech gun or flintlock gun, but a semi-automatic rifle made according to the standards of later generations! You must know that in the war, the interoperability of science and technology is very strong, and if the two Western powers are prepared in advance, this battle will not be easy to fight.

In terms of national strength, the Han is naturally far superior to the enemy, but the long distance is a big trouble, even if a considerable amount of materials can be transported by sea, it is a drop in the bucket.

So, the first blow is the strongest blow of the soldier! Let the Romans, who have entered the era of centralization and have lost their vitality and enterprising spirit, tremble under the rain of bullets and bullets of the Han army!

As more and more squares came out, the onlookers finally discovered that that kind of strange-shaped weapon had almost spread throughout the army, needless to say, it must be a new weapon.

At this moment, a flag jumped out, which aroused everyone's enthusiasm.

"General Shangzhu Guoda!"

"Changshan Zhao Zilong, who is old and strong!"

"Two left and right!"

"Imperial Twin Walls!"

The commander of this western expedition is Zhao Yun, the deputy generals are Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei who joined the army, plus Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Cao Zhang, Wang Shuang, Ding Feng, Xiahouba and a group of rising stars, the lineup is so luxurious, it is not under the group of people who are going to the New World.

Wang Yu didn't want Zhao Yun and Erzhang to go out, after all, he was old, what should he do if he made a mistake? But just as Tai Shici was unwilling to be lonely, Zhao Yun and others were also martyrs in their twilight years, and their ambitions still existed, and Wang Yu had no choice but to pour cold water on them, so he had to go with the flow.

"If the mountains are before them, they will fall!

If the abyss is ahead, the abyss will collapse!

The big Han hussar, the strongest in the world!

The big man is invincible! ”

The sound of battle trumpets rising into the sky like the earth shaking the mountains, this is the soldiers paying tribute to their supreme leader.

In the midst of the sound, Wang Yu raised his eyes and looked west, and there seemed to be a magnificent scene of a pair of Jin Ge iron horses in front of him.

He knew that 50,000 male lions would go west out of the Jade Gate and join the princes of all walks of life in the Western Regions Corridor. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses will draw an arc on the map, with the hussars as the lead, sweeping westward!

Not to mention that Rome is no longer the era of a republic with the famous Hannibal, even if it is, the Westerners can't stop the elite army of the Great Han. Persia, who bullied the weak and feared the hard, could only tremble under the iron hooves of the Han army.

After this battle, the Han civilization was no longer able to resist, and a glorious era had begun!

……

Wang Yu, who was immersed in the majestic strategy, did not have an idea, and there was a small commotion in the crowd. An old shepherd suddenly collapsed with a look of relief on his face that had never been seen before.

No one cares too much, this kind of old man who went to the foot of Shenjing, witnessed the weather of the Celestial Empire, and died of too much excitement, in a year, there are not a thousand, but also eight hundred, who cares?

Maybe it was because he saw the heyday of the military and was scared to death, but did he blame the brave soldiers?

No kidding.
