Chapter 138
The three people who quietly entered the city were a man and two women, and they passed through the main axis of Youzhou Panlong Road like a guest, went out from the north gate, followed Duan Pingsheng all the way, and embarked on the road to Wanbei Mountain.

At this time, Duan Pingsheng was riding his horse, leading the mighty crowd to slowly march on the official road, without noticing the end of the team and mixing into the three figures.
He looked at the vast field under the vast sky, and his heart was full of emotion, the last time he saw such a scene, he personally led the army to conquer the northern barbarians and sweep away his worries. At that time, it was rainy and the roads were muddy, and even the disciplined warrior kings were struggling, but now that the drought has been three years, the roads are cracked due to exposure, and even ordinary people can move forward safely.
"I wonder how many post stations I built back then?"
Stretching his gaze along the road into the distance, Duan Pingsheng sighed in his heart, and then turned his head to ask the person in the carriage beside him: "Mr. Proud, when are you going to rush to the Master's Courtyard?" ā
Even though it was a break in the hurry, Xu Deyi didn't forget to teach the small stool to read the sage book, and he said without raising his head: "Three days later." ā
Duan Pingsheng nodded lightly and asked again, "Is that gentleman sure?" ā
Xu proudly replied to the question: "I sit with my master and discuss words, not simply a struggle for spirit, let alone a fight for fame and fortune, because that word affects the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty and is related to the foundation of the world's students." ā
"Can that gentleman explain the king's doubts?"
Duan Pingsheng was a little curious, he had heard of the one-word dispute, but he didn't know what the word was, after Xu proudly appeared, he even looked through the sage book again, it was full of wise sayings, there was no controversy, I don't know where this Xu family was proud, where did he see the inappropriate.
Xu Deyi's eyes were deep: "This word is not in the book, if you have a chance, you can see each other." ā
Not in the book?
Duan Pingsheng raised his eyebrows, Xu was proud to be the messenger of that senior, and he must have seen the existence that others could not see because of his lofty vision. No longer going into the bottom line, he pulled the horse's head and came to the middle of the line, where two bright red martyrs' monuments stood on top of the trailer.
One is Wu Zhibao, a veteran of Jiangdong, and the other is a veteran of southern Xinjiang who died tragically in prison.
The remains of the two were all integrated into the body of the martyr's monument, and from a distance, it seemed that they could see the surging blood from the red light, and the closer they got to it, the more they could feel the lonely atmosphere of the slaughtering field.
Wu Heita stood aside in filial piety clothes, and the master and apprentice of Huangsha Daojun also followed.
It seems that Sha Moxiao is not generally satisfied with Wu Heita, but Huang Yan's expression is a little peculiar, and his face is no longer gloomy, but quietly follows Huang Sha Daojun's side, and he calmly says something to Wu Heita from time to time.
Duan Pingsheng didn't care much, and after a few words of Wu Heita, he rushed to the rear of the team, where he followed many people in Youzhou, although the palace prepared some carriages in advance, but it was far from being able to accommodate all the people who paid tribute, and there was no other way but to let the old and weak women and children sit in the carriage, slow down the speed of progress, and let the young and strong people on foot not be left behind.
The carriage of the Confucius Academy was here, Zhang Yu, who was holding a book and reading it dizzily, heard the sound of horses' hooves, and immediately came to his senses, he lifted the curtain, saw Duan Pingsheng's appearance, and was thinking about how to speak, and saw the other party rushing to the back of the carriage without pause, as if there was no existence of himself in his eyes at all!
Zhang Yu was faintly angry, but he didn't dare to show it, so he had to hold back his anger and put down the car curtain, pretending to be light and light, and continued to look through the books in his hand.
Mr. Qiuzhi, who closed his eyes and meditated, suddenly said: "If you can walk to the foot of Wanbei Mountain without saying a word, the old man can give you a good review!" ā
Hearing this, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, the evaluation of the old Confucian scholar was very important to whether he could inherit the mantle of the master, didn't he come here to win a good evaluation? Zhang Yu jumped out of the carriage without saying a word, helped the coachman lead the horse, and his chest was full of pride.
Zhang Yu was full of ambition, and immediately heard the sound of a horse behind him, and then Duan Pingsheng's voice sounded: "Old man, why don't you get in the carriage?" ā
He turned his head to look back and saw Duan Pingsheng standing next to an old man with gray hair, and said softly, how close to the people is like that. Zhang Yu was disdainful in his heart, and his sympathy for the people's feelings was decent, but don't forget, your title is no longer His Royal Highness the Martial King who is in charge of Youzhou.
The old man grinned at his broken arm, which had only a few remaining teeth, and pointed to his broken arm: "Five years ago, my arm was lost on this road, and now I want to see if I can get it back." ā
Duan Pingsheng was silent, Zhang Yu pouted, he had heard of the tragic battle of Wanbei Mountain, the high priest of Helan led a surprise attack, if it weren't for the martial king Li Changfeng to fight to the death, I am afraid that the powerful people of Youzhou at that time would wake up and become prisoners.
Wuwangfu paid a heavy price for this, but the result was not only not rewarded by the imperial court, Li Changfeng died in prison because of this, if it were not for the rapid appointment of the assassin Shi Gu Hao and An Dajiedu envoy to suppress it, even if Youzhou was not captured by the Khitan alien race, it would be destroyed by the anger of the old Wuwang department.
Alas! Who told you that Li Changfeng is too majestic!
Zhang Yu suddenly envied Li Changfeng's existence, unrestrained for half his life, if I could successfully get the mantle of the master, I could also live so wanton and chic! He glanced at Duan Pingsheng, and hummed secretly in his heart, I just don't know if you, the descendant of the martial queen, can jump out of the shackles and live longer, I am still waiting for the great achievement and slapping you in the face with my own hands!
The old man looked at Duan Pingsheng's appearance and smiled: "The prince doesn't have to mind, it is a voluntary matter of our elder brother to defend Wanbei Mountain, and the back is the door of the house, if you don't work hard, you can't do it, the old man and I are better, I only lost one arm, but a lot of people lost their lives." ā
"But I'm angry, old man, it's only been a few years, and some people have forgotten about it, Lord Wang, you give a commentary, if we didn't throw our heads and spill blood, they would be able to live a good life today?"
We!
Duan Pingsheng liked this word very much, although he had not participated in the battle of Wanbei Mountain, he had already been recognized by these martial king veterans, which was a key step for him to reorganize the martial king army. Faced with the old man's inquiry, he resolutely replied: "Of course not, don't worry, old man, as long as I stay on the throne, I won't let people forget the battle in Wanbei Mountain." ā
"Good!"
At this time, a man in armor rode his horse and shouted from afar: "It is my luck that the prince can have this heart!" The end will be late, and please atone for your sins! ā
"Old General Liu has a heart."
Duan Pingsheng greeted him, and the old general retired from his high position in the early years, but with the growing strength of the two tigers, his voice in Youzhou has gradually improved. The old general came on this trip, in addition to paying tribute to the fallen martyrs, to find the feeling of fighting on the battlefield back then, because he was one of the few generals who could protect himself in the battle of Wanbei Mountain.
"Lord Wang, the last general dared to ask, if you were given 30,000 male soldiers, would you dare to slaughter the Khitan?"
Old General Liu seemed to have gone back to the past, still serving under King Wu, he looked at Duan Pingsheng with burning eyes, and he didn't know why he spoke like this.
Duan Pingsheng didn't ask the reason, and replied categorically: "It's just a little Khitan, why don't you dare?" ā
"This king can suppress Helan at the foot of Wanbei Mountain today, and he can also go to the Khitan Golden Horde tomorrow to take the head of that barbarian!"
