Chapter 324: Scene
This wind was released from nowhere, but it pretended to be mysterious, and all the officers above the rank of lieutenant in Anxi knew about it mysteriously, and many of them even took advantage of the drunken nonsense to let the military commander convey their loyalty to the lord. This was the eve of the opening of the world, but there was no definite news from the lord Wu Yingying. This made the commanders of the various armies who rushed to Dunhuang from all over the country a little apprehensive. Great changes are coming, those who seek the country, those who follow the dragon, don't look at the monstrous power, even if you are soft, a mistake, a hesitation, it will be the end of the death of the clan and the stench of ten thousand years.
"Wu Yingying, do you really want to be the emperor?" Looking at the towering city pass of Dunhuang from afar, the hussar commander made Xin Gu secretly say in his heart. After instructing the soldiers, they went straight to the military camp that had been built for the Dragon's Tooth Army next to the city. Xin Gu is no longer Wuxia Ameng, he has been in a high position for a long time, he governs the army on the horse, and governs the people on the horse, although he has subordinates to help hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in various matters, and can conquer and drive away hundreds of thousands of tribes in the north of the country. In terms of the tribes and regions under their rule, the hussars were already one of the most powerful forces in the steppe. Even if the commander Xin Gu himself had a vague rejection of Wu Yingying's title of emperor, and even deliberately avoided supporting it, many hussar captains also implied intentionally or unintentionally that they could not fail as a hussar army with the best strength of all armies in Anxi if they supported great merits. This time, Wu Hero ordered all armies to select the elite to form the Dragon Tooth Army, and the military horn carried a dragon character, which was also regarded by the captains as a signal that the lord was about to add the yellow robe, and recommended the most elite and reliable warriors under his command to the Dragon Tooth Army, and even many high-minded ten commanders did not hesitate to give up their official positions, and were willing to be a basic sergeant in the Dragon Tooth Army, and also to become a "man from the dragon".
Different from the generals who are full of worries and the captains who are eager to make a name for themselves, for the return of the lord Wu Yingying, whether it is the village school teaching full of wealth, the warriors in the army who fight for their lives on the battlefield, or the peddlers and pawns who work all day long, the first cultivators, the sergeants and ordinary people in the state capitals of Anxi only have a long-lost steadfastness and the joy that comes with it. The long-lasting peace that could be expected brought about by the strong and united Anxi army, the honorable status and generous treatment of the sergeants, and the granting of land that the people regarded as valuable as their lives, were all tied to the lord. For the millions of soldiers and civilians of the Anxi Army, everyone vaguely felt in their hearts that if the lord Wu Hero did not return for a day, or even did not become the real lord of the people for a day, the life that was greatly improved at present would be like a fortress built on the beach, which was extremely unreliable. God knows if the generals of the six armies will suddenly attack and kill each other, God knows if there will be a big family to invade and occupy the land, God knows if the brutal barbarians will make a comeback, and God knows if the east-west trade route will be cut off again. Fortunately, with the news of Wu Yingying's return to Anxi spreading, these hazes that vaguely shrouded the hearts of the Anxi soldiers and civilians could finally be cleared.
The people of Dunhuang have now set off a wave of competition for the lord and the lord and the mother of Mrs. Huang, everyone is enthusiastically calculating the day of the lord's return, and the hawkers plan to occupy a good seat along the street that day, just to sell some sugar water and tea soup, it is better than doing a month's business.
As if deliberately avoiding the noisy scene of the spectators, Wu Yingying arrived in Dunhuang in early August, and placed the three armies of Tayan, Flower Hat, and Iron Bone in the military camp outside the city, and saw Xin Gu, Xiao Jiu and other generals in the barracks, and inspected the camps of the Dragon Tooth Army that had been stationed in the camp again, until it was dark, and then Huang Wen was sent back to the Jiedu Embassy to rest under the escort of more than 100 Dragon Tooth Army guards. On this night, countless Dunhuang people claimed to have heard the sound of horses' hooves under the command of the lord.
"Where is the Duke of Longxi County placed?" sent his wife back to the Jiedu Embassy, Wu Yingying had no time to disarm, so he asked Zhang Zhongyao. General Xiao was worried that the identity of the prince of Longxi County could not be announced for the time being, and he liked to be quiet, so he bought a mansion in the east of the city, close to the temple and Buddha Gate cave on the southeast mountain. "Oh, it's not too late, don't hurry back home, take me to see the Duke of Longxi first." Wu Yingying nodded, and pondered for a moment, arranging the mansion like this is in line with Cai Yu's temperament, Xiao Jiu also has a heart, but thinking about it carefully, it seems to have ulterior motives.
Zhang Zhongyao was slightly stunned, and then arranged for the guards to transfer to the east of the city. The Dragon Tooth Army is Wu Yingying's own army, and he himself is the commander of the Dragon Tooth Army, but on the way back from Youzhou to the west, it has always been Zhang Zhongyao who coordinates the westward return army and arranges Wu Yingying's daily life. At present, the Dragon Tooth Army has just been established, and Wu Yingying is not very familiar with the captains of each battalion, and before the designation of others, Zhong Yao will still play the role of the captain of the former Ya Military Battalion.
Xiao Jiu's choice of this house was originally quite clean, but also bothered to find the previous generation of monks and painters of all kinds of treasures to fill in it, the magnificence is not inferior to the south of the Yangtze River, Cai Yu was in the Zen room to watch a Buddha picture, suddenly heard that Anxi Jiedu made Wu Yingying visit, so he sighed, threw the image aside, and went out to meet. I saw Wu Yingying dressed in military uniform, followed only by his henchman Zhang Zhongyao, and arched his hand: "After Jiangnan farewell, the lord of the country lives in Bianliang, forced by Zhao Jiong, after many ups and downs, Wu Yingying can't be rescued, so he asks the lord for guilt!" Cai Yu raised his eyes to see him bow and salute, waved his hand, and sighed: "That's it." Facing Wu Yingying, he really didn't know where to start. Calling him "Wu Qing" seems to be a bit ironic, calling him "General Wu", I also feel bitter, I just feel that everything is sluggish, and I don't want to talk more about this person.
Wu Yingying saw that Cai Yu's face was bleak and his attitude was also cold, he couldn't help but be stunned, laughed dryly, and said: "The climate in Saibei is extremely hot and cold, the wind and sand are also big, and the land of Dunhuang is even Hulu, and it is a mixed place of peddlers and pawns, etc., is the lord of the country still used to living?" After a while, Cai Yu replied: "It's good." Then he was silent.
Wu Yingying couldn't, after saying a few words, he looked at Cai Yu, and finally said in a deep voice: "De relies on the lives of the soldiers under his command, passing through the western part of Anxi, and now the people in the Western Regions have no owner, and the lord of the country is the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
Even though Cai Yu's heart was like ashes, he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the words, and looked up at Wu Yingying. Guarding outside the door, Zhang Zhongyao, who overheard the words of the two, turned even more pale, his eyebrows trembled slightly, turned around and stared at the figure of Cai Yu reflected on the window ridge paper, and his hand unconsciously put on the horizontal knife handle behind him, lest he say a "good" word. The three of them held their breath, and for a while, the fragrant fragrance of Buddhism burned silently, and this wisp of Zen incense that condensed and calmed their hearts couldn't stop the heartbeat inside and outside the meditation room.
Wu Yingying has been thinking about this for a long time, but he is the most calm and relaxed among the three. Cai Yu's mood seemed to be thrown from the bottom of the valley to the peak of the waves, and then rushed up and down, almost unable to think, only muttered: "How can this make the emperor and the country?" Orer said again, "I don't want my descendants to be reborn in the emperor's family," after a while, he calmed down his mood and looked at Wu Yingying, as if he wanted to see his true face, and said in a deep voice: "General Wu's discussion is not for me, and the country is not a different surname, which is unheard of after the three emperors and five emperors." Since the previous dynasty, the armies have been accustomed to supporting the enthronement of great generals, and even if the generals are noble, how can your subordinate soldiers agree. Moreover, I inherited the foundation of my ancestors, but Jiangnan Guozuo died in the Great Song Dynasty, and the general rose up in vain, and now he has thousands of miles and tens of thousands of soldiers.
