Chapter 158: Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March
The gate of Fenghua City was quickly lost under the onslaught of Pei Xingli and Zhang Ziliang's army, and the three hundred guards who died in battle and surrendered were taken down in an instant. d.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Li Jian was so shocked that he hid his face and cried bitterly, he didn't even put on his shoes, and fled barefoot.
Pei and Zhang handed over Li Jian to Guo Jun, who ordered Qixi to lead dozens of guards to deal with the aftermath, and he returned to the camp with his relatives.
Nian Yun and Luoluo stayed in the camp this time and never followed, seeing that Guo Yan came back so early, and there was no trace of blood on his body, he couldn't help asking, "How is it?" ”
Guo Yan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Li Jian is not beaten, and it is effortless. ”
Nian Yun also laughed: "It seems that Li Jifu said that Li Jian couldn't become a big thing, but he was right." Even counting the time to hurry, we left Chang'an in less than a month. Although the imperial court dispatched thousands of divine troops, it actually did not cost a single soldier. ”
Luoluo pouted on the side: "You are all liars!" It is said that the war is dangerous, and the battlefield is like the Shura field, why don't I even see a wound? ”
Nian Yun smiled and touched her little head, and said with a smile: "Later, let Mr. teach you the art of war, and then you will know that those who kill the enemy on the battlefield, even if they use one as ten, even if they use one as a hundred, they are only brave as a horseman." Being able to strategize, break the enemy invisibly, and minimize your own casualties is the best strategy for soldiers. ”
Luoluo listened carefully with wide eyes, lowered his head and thought for a long time, and said: "I understand, although we may also achieve victory by directly leading the army to attack head-on, but Mother grasped the weakness of the traitor, and then disintegrated from the inside, so that they could break themselves and win more beautifully." ”
Guo Yan nodded: "That's right, you have to learn more from your mother." ”
Luoluo nodded hurriedly, this time he came out and gained a lot of knowledge, such a comparison, the little princess who didn't know anything in the imperial city in the past was really a frog at the bottom of the well.
After going through this, in her heart, whether it is her mother or uncle, they are all very powerful characters.
The child is a child in the end, and she finally left Chang'an City once, but for the sake of safety these days, no one seems to take her to play. At this time, the business was over, and Luoluo couldn't help but ask Nianyun: "Mother, won't we go back to Chang'an again soon, right?" ”
Nian Yun didn't want to go back so early, and he finally came to take a trip, so he had to go to Yangzhou to have a look. She pulled Luoluo's little hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Luoluo will sleep well first, and tomorrow morning, my mother will take you to Yangzhou." ”
"Yangzhou?" Luoluo jumped up happily: "Mother is talking about the Yangzhou of 'fireworks in March'?" In ancient poems, it is said that Yangzhou is prosperous, but is the mother really taken away? ”
Nian Yun smiled and bowed: "Naturally, when did your mother lie to you?" Go to sleep. ”
In the early morning of the next day, Nianyun really ordered Qixi to prepare his horse and prepare to go out with fennel and Luoluo. Qixi couldn't follow because he still needed to stay in the Shence Army, so he specially ordered ten guards to follow.
was about to go out, but Guo Yan strode in from outside and stopped Nianyun head-on: "Go to Yangzhou?" ”
Nian Yun nodded.
Guo Yan was a little annoyed on his face and said, "Why don't you call me?" ”
Nian Yun said: "It's just to go out for a walk and see where I used to live......"
Guo Yan looked at her, and said seriously word by word: "Nianyun, I have always blamed myself, I didn't stay with you in the earliest thirteen years. So, take me along to see it. ”
Nian Yun had to nod.
Originally, I planned to take a look at it with only Luoluo Weifu, but as a result, it became a large team of more than ten people. Nian Yun had a headache, and he didn't allow them to follow too closely, only letting them pretend to be passers-by and follow them from a distance.
Luoluo was very happy, and said: "I heard from the gentlemen, everything outside is bought with money, and the money is so heavy, just let the guards take it!" ”
Nian Yun couldn't help laughing: "What is there in the palace, and you still need to bring it back so far away?" ”
Luoluo shook his little head like a rattle: "That's different, when I come out like this, I have to bring something back to Wanwan, Brother You, Brother Ning, and Your Majesty?" They may never be able to come to this place for the rest of their lives......"
But no, maybe they won't be able to get out of Chang'an City for the rest of their lives. Moreover, Nianyun also hopes that they will not leave Chang'an City for the rest of their lives, and if they do not leave, it means that Li Tang's dynasty and Jiangshan Society are still stable.
Zhenhai is not far from Yangzhou, the road is also smooth, a few of them on horseback, but a day's footsteps, to the evening, has arrived outside Yangzhou.
Yangzhou City is slowly approaching between the horses spurred by Nianyun, this is the south of the Yangtze River, the eaves corner of the flying city can be faintly seen, it is not the majestic vermilion lacquer pillar of the north, but the exquisite carved small wooden building.
Nianyun took Luoluo, his legs clamped the horse's back, and galloped in front, and the dust rising under the horse's hooves was like a cloud driving the fog, leaving the attendants far behind.
In an instant, the city tower is already in front of you, about three or four zhang high, and the city gate below is not more than a zhang.
The city gate in front of me seemed to be a little different from what I remembered, as if it was much lower than in my memory, and the roads in the city did not seem to be as wide as I remembered.
The gates have not changed, and the roads have remained the same, but they have changed a little more in the course of more than a decade. Perhaps he is accustomed to the grandeur and grandeur of Chang'an City, and he is accustomed to the grandeur of the imperial city, so the Yangzhou City in front of him has deviated from his memory.
But this is still the city of Yangzhou that haunts me in my dreams!
Nianyun grabbed the reins and stopped in front of the city gate for a moment, Guo Yan caught up and stood side by side with her, looking at the glow of the sky and was speechless for a while.
Nianyun stood up for a moment, got off the horse, and hugged Luoluo as well. At this time, an attendant came up to take the reins from her and Guo Yan's hands, and the two of them took Luoluo's hand one by one and walked slowly into the city gate.
Unlike the wide street in Chang'an City, which is rarely crowded, Yangzhou City is just a main street that leads to the end. The pavement is paved with bluestone slabs, and the roadside is full of vendors and shops, but many of them have slowly begun to clean up and close their storefronts.
Luoluo didn't even go to the east and west markets of Chang'an City, and at this time she only felt dizzy, so she stopped along the way and asked Guo Yan to buy her a bunch of dough pinchers, small windmills and other things.
Nian Yun pointed to the main street in front of him and said to Guo Yan: "When I was a child, Aunt Wei often brought me here to buy rouge and osmanthus oil, and when I saw such a bustling market, Aunt Wei would talk to me about Chang'an. ”
Guo Yan looked at her with a smile, "Oh, what did she say?" ”
Nian Yun lowered her head slightly, with some emotion: "She said that there is a very wide road in Chang'an City, just in front of the Suzaku Gate, leading directly to the imperial city, and ordinary people are not allowed to walk. All the women in the world want to stand on that street and walk in from the Suzaku Gate, but once they enter, it is a road of no return. ”
For as long as she can remember, Aunt Wei has talked about many past events. She always talked about a city where the Son of Heaven and the General lived, prosperous and rich, with an indissoluble sadness.
There is also the largest and most famous teaching workshop in the world, and there are singers with voices like yellow warblers, and dancing girls who dance more like butterflies.
The woman with sadness in her eyes, who struggled all her life, finally escaped from the imperial city, but was forced to lose her love forever, she was not happy.
At that time, she didn't understand those words, but many years later, when she stood here, she suddenly felt that the air in Yangzhou City was still filled with Aunt Wei's sadness more than ten years later.
Nian Yun walked along the streets of Yangzhou City, walked to an alley, and stopped in front of a house.
The gate of black oil, there are a few osmanthus trees in the yard, which are not open at this time.
Nian Yun was stunned for a while, and then the black oil door suddenly opened, and an aunt came out of it, and saw a few of them standing at the door, and asked a little suspiciously: "Is this little lady looking for someone?" ”
Nian Yun came back to his senses and quickly shook his head, "No, I'm not looking for anyone." After a pause, he asked, "Has my aunt lived here for many years?" ”
The aunt said, "It's not long, it's been more than ten years...... Is there something wrong? ”
Nian Yun sighed lightly, "It's okay, just ask." ”
Aunt Wei didn't like to socialize, so they used to live in this courtyard and hardly interact with the surrounding neighbors, so there were no acquaintances to visit here. Now that she's gone, this yard is just a yard.
The aunt looked her up and down a few more times, and saw that she was handsome and did not look like a villain, so she kindly advised: "It's not early, since you are not looking for anyone, it is better to take your husband and children back as soon as possible." ”
Husband? Nian Yun was stunned, and it took a while to realize that she must be referring to Guo Yan, two men and women of the same age with a little girl, don't they look like a family of three!
Guo Yan also grinned, glanced at her, and said in a voice that was really as gentle as her husband: "So, thank you for this aunt." Lady, let's go back early. ”
Walking out of the alley, the sky outside was gradually getting dark, and Guo Li ordered the attendants who followed him to find an inn to settle down.
Nianyun stood on the street where the population was decreasing, and suddenly lowered his head and asked Luoluo: "Luoluo, do you like Yangzhou?" ”
Luoluo thought for a while and nodded vigorously: "I like it!" ”
Nianyun said: "Luoluo, let's not go back to the palace, how about you follow your mother and live in Yangzhou?" ”
Luoluo thought about it very seriously and said, "However, if you don't return to the palace, will Luoluo never see Brother You again?" ”
After a pause, he continued: "There are also Wanwan and Brother Ning!" ”
Yes, her Ning'er, her You'er and Wanwan, if she never goes back to Chang'an in this life, she will never see them again!
The children must stay in the palace, and Your Majesty is still young now, if she has a concubine in the future, or even a queen, will they treat her children well?
Come to think of it, it is really not easy to leave him.
