Along the way, in addition to finding an inn to stay at night, I was in a hurrying during the day. Sometimes, when we reach a sparsely populated place, we stop on the side of the road to rest, and when we reach a crowded place, we buy enough food and water before continuing on the road.

The topography of the northwest is different from that of the southeast, so the distribution of villages and cities is naturally very different. In the east, for example, Yangzhou is mostly plain, with houses and inns lined up one after another, while Gansu is different, and sometimes even if you walk for a day and a night, you may not be able to see the smoke rise. Even if there is an occasional village, it is only three or four households. However, the folk customs in the northwest are very good and hospitable, it may be that there are relatively few people passing by since then, they are very enthusiastic about Yang Fei'er, and often send water and food to them. Although there have been many floods in recent years, the people in this area are far away from the Yellow River, and they themselves are self-sufficient, so they can be regarded as living a worry-free life.

After about four days, they finally arrived at their destination, Lanzhou Mansion. Just as they happily went to visit Zhu Changmu, the king of Zhenxi, they got a news that everyone wanted to know: the king of Zhenxi was not in Lanzhou.

Yang Fei'er said that they were friends with the king of Zhenxi, and they wanted him to ask for help when they had something.

The housekeeper of the palace saw that Yang Fei'er and the others were sincere, so he said: "It's really not the right time for you to come, the prince has already gone to Jiayuguan to guard the city." ”

Chu Tianzhao asked, "Is there something happening at the border gate?" ”

The butler said, "It seems that you really don't know. Have you seen many homeless people on your way? ”

"Yes, I heard that the Yellow River burst its banks and flooded many houses and fields." Yang Fei'er said.

"When Warat in the north heard that we were flooding again, he felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he sent troops to attack Jiayu Pass. The document was urgently transmitted to the prince for eight hundred miles, and after reading it, the prince got on the horse and went to Jiayuguan. ”

Chu Tianzhao asked: "Then there are so many refugees in Gansu, does he not care?" ”

The housekeeper sighed, "How can you manage so much." The Yellow River floods every few years, which is a natural cycle. The prince allocated half of the grain he had stored over the years to the refugees, and half of it was pulled to the front line at Jiayuguan. Next, it is up to the people themselves, and we have no choice. The prince said that now it is a national crisis, and the two cannot be taken into account, so they should first repel Warat, and then find a way to rescue the refugees. Otherwise, if Jiayuguan is broken by Wara, the people's lives will be even more miserable. ”

Chu Tianzhao was a little angry and said, "Won't he borrow some grain from the nearby Fujun?" Also, the Yellow River continues to flood, and if it can be blocked or channeled, wouldn't it be possible to alleviate the disaster? ”

When the butler heard this, he said angrily, "Who are you?" How dare you question my lord? ”

Yang Fei'er said in a round game: "Don't be surprised by this uncle, my eldest brother has seen the people in such hardship and has not seen the government's assistance, so his words are a little excessive, I hope you can forgive me." ”

"Hey...... Don't blame him. The prince had already borrowed all the money from the surrounding kings, but they said that their kings had also been flooded, and there was no surplus grain and grass to lend us. What's more, the court did not have documents and holy decrees, and they did not dare to borrow grain without authorization. "A loyal servant begs a loyal servant, and this steward is also a man of conscience.

Yang Fei'er said: "Uncle, how much time does it take to get from here to Jiayuguan?" ”

"If you are quick, you will be there in three days," said the butler, looking at their carriage, "if you need to rest at night in the carriage, it will be about five or six days." ”

Yang Fei'er thanked the housekeeper, then returned to the carriage and said to the emperor: "The king of Zhenxi has gone to Jiayuguan to guard the city, from here to there, about five or six days' journey, we will go on the road now." ”

The emperor hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The troops of the king of Zhenxi were stationed in Jiayuguan City. There is a widely circulated story about Jiayuguan.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in order to consolidate the defense line in the northwest, Taizu sent Feng Sheng, the general of the expedition, to garrison the area of the Hexi Corridor, and prepared to choose a site there to build a pass to prevent the invasion of the Tshorn tribe in Outer Mongolia. Feng Sheng inspected everywhere, looking for the site, and finally decided to build a Xiongguan on Gugai Mountain. He soon called in skilled craftsmen, laid threads and nails on the mountain, and prepared to break ground the next day.

Who knew that early the next morning, Feng Sheng came to the construction site to take a look, and found that the lines and piles on the ground were gone. The soldier on duty reported: When I was on duty last night, I never closed my eyes, and at the fourth watch, a sudden wind blew in all directions, and the sky was dark, and after the wind stopped, I saw that the lines and piles on the ground were gone.

At this time, the soldiers who had gone elsewhere to look for lines and piles came to report that the lost lines and piles had been found on the slopes of Jiayu Mountain to the north of the narrow valley. Feng Sheng ran there suspiciously to see that the piles and lines were neatly nailed to the hillside, and he was really surprised at that time. Calm down and take a closer look at the topography here: you can see the snow-capped Qilian Mountains in the south, the Horsehair Mountains in the north, the vast Gobi Desert in the west, the oases in the east, and the flowing springs.

At the foot, the mountain is flat, and there are fifty acres of land in a radius. If you build a pass here, it is close to the mountains and rivers, condescending, you can attack, you can defend it, and you can defend it. Thinking about it carefully, the original site was located in the Guigai Mountain, which was the lower reaches of the Qilai River, and in the summer, due to the large melting of snow in the Qilian Mountains, the flood washed through the pass, which would cause the entire army to be wiped out. The more I think about it, the more fortunate I feel that God helped me to change the location. Feng Sheng immediately played the emperor, and then, a large number of buildings were built, and a 220-zhang long Jiayuguan City was built.

According to legend, the relocation of Guancheng was due to the guidance of Guan Yunchang's apparition. In order to commemorate him, the common people built a temple of Emperor Guan in the city. The temple is composed of the main hall, the accompanying hall, the court, the archway, etc., with an area of about 720 square meters, and it is very magnificently built. As a sign of devotion, many people also voluntarily raised funds and donated money, and bought a jewel with a lot of money, which was embedded in the top of the main hall. Since then, the orb has radiated a dazzling light day and night.

One evening, suddenly the sky was dark, black clouds were overwhelming, lightning and thunder roared, the people of the whole city were terrified, and they ran to the door of the platform to watch, and suddenly heard a deafening loud noise, and suddenly saw two giant dragons flying in the air, all the way to the Guandi Temple, never to see the platform again. The next day, after the rain and the sky is clear, people have come to the Guandi Temple to see, on both sides of the top of the main hall to place the orb, there is a giant dragon each, lifelike, just constitute a picture of two dragons playing with pearls.

I don't know whether this legend is true or not, but it proves one point, that is, Jiayuguan City is a place that the imperial court should not underestimate. If the emperor wants to strengthen his power, these generals in the border areas must be co-opted.

Inquire all the way and finally came to the Xiongguan of the world, looking from afar, the city of Jiayuguan is slightly trapezoidal, and the city wall is about ten meters high. There is a gate in the east and west, and there is a gate building on it, the structure is exquisite, and the momentum is magnificent. An arrow tower was built at each of the four corners of the city wall, and an enemy tower was built on each of the north and south walls. Outside the east and west gates, an urn city was built to connect the gates to cover the inner city. About 20 meters to the west of Guancheng, there is a brick-clad city wall, the height is equal to that of Guancheng, and the two ends are connected with the outer city earthen walls on the north and south sides, constituting Luocheng. There is an arrow tower at the north and south ends of Xiluo City, the middle is the gate, and there is a three-storey gate building on the top of the door, and the inscription "Jiayuguan" is three big characters. This architectural form makes Jiayuguan have a city outside the city, and the city is heavy, forming a trend of guarding the heavy pass, and constituting a solid defensive fortress.

Everyone was amazed and tried to enter the city, but was stopped by the generals who defended the city. Chu Tianzhao asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

The soldier said loudly: "What do you mean? Do you have a clearance token? If you have it, take it out, and if you don't, you will stand aside. ”

Everyone was stunned: Do you still need a token to enter the city? They watched as the people came and went, and each took out a round copper sheet of earthy yellow, on which was written a large "order". It's embarrassing now, this thing is probably a copy for everyone, where can I get it?

Chu Tianzhao stepped forward to plead for accommodation, but was impatiently pushed away by the soldiers. Yang Fei'er saw it clearly, she wondered if these people wanted money, so she took out some silver and stepped forward, and said with a smile: "All the military masters have worked hard, a little heart, not a respect, the military master has taken a drink from a small bar." As he spoke, he stuffed them with silver.

Unexpectedly, these people didn't receive the money, threw Yang Fei'er's silver on the hand, and scolded loudly: "If you don't go here again, be careful to arrest you and go to jail." ”

Yang Fei'er cursed while picking up the silver: "It's really a stone in the latrine, it's smelly and hard." ”

The soldier next to him was furious and asked, "What do you say?" Don't want to live anymore? The soldier next to him grabbed him and winked.

The soldier said angrily: "If it weren't for the strict military law of the King of Zhenxi, I wouldn't beat you up, wouldn't you get out of here?" ”

Chu Tianzhao pulled Yang Fei'er back. The emperor and Yuanyuan followed, and the three of them sat down to eat at a roadside stall while discussing how to enter the customs.

Yang Fei'er glanced at the goalkeeper and said, "This Zhenxi King is quite strict in governing the soldiers, I wanted to bribe them just now, but I was almost arrested by them, hehe......"

Chu Tianzhao looked at the majestic Jiayuguan and said: "With such a guard and such a way of governing the army, there is no danger in Gansu and no danger in the Ming Dynasty." ”

"If my Ming guards are like the emperor's uncle, the Ming Dynasty is really worry-free for thousands of generations......"

The emperor, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said such a sentence at this time, and then burst into tears.

Yang Fei'er said in her heart: I'm afraid you still missed a sentence, right? If the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were as loyal as your imperial uncle, you wouldn't have ended up in such a situation, right?

Yang Fei'er has almost no good feelings for this emperor now. Originally, he respected him as an emperor, but after listening to Chu Tianzhao, he had wanted to commit suicide twice, which directly caused Yang Fei'er to be completely disappointed in him. However, if there is no emperor in this world, then everyone will compete to be the lord of this world. When the time comes, the world will be even more chaotic, and the people's lives will be even more difficult. What Yang Fei'er wants now is to restore the emperor as soon as possible, and she doesn't want the war to start again and ruin her lives.

Yuan Yuan said: "If we don't have a token, won't we really be able to enter the city?" If you can't enter the city, you won't see the king of Zhenxi......"

Yang Fei'er saw Yuanyuan's sad look and knew that she couldn't wait. These days, she has indeed suffered the most grievances among them.

Yang Fei'er said: "That's not necessarily. The reason why the guards are so nervous and have to check the token is because they don't want spies to sneak in. These are extraordinary times, so we will do it. As long as the fighting is over, you can go in. ”

"When's that going to be? We can wait, but the refugees in Gansu can't wait. They're all waiting for life-saving food. Chu Tianzhao was obviously a little impatient now.

At this time, Yang Fei'er saw a few gorgeously dressed merchants coming over. Many beggars hurriedly came forward to beg, and those people were afraid that the beggars would stain their clothes, so they dodged and dodged, and by the way, mixed with fists and feet, and scattered the beggars. After that, he scolded and walked forward.

Yang Fei'er had a plan, and secretly stabbed Chu Tianzhao and said, "Brother Chu, the opportunity has come." I'm going to trouble you this time, just those few people, I think they all have clearance tokens when they first come out of the customs, let's be robbers too. ”

Chu Tianzhao said happily: "Why didn't I think of it just now? Okay, then you wait here, there is a mountain road ahead, I guess there are few people passing by, why don't I just wait for them there. "I'm leaving.

Yang Fei'er pulled him, gave him a black face towel, and said, "Wait a minute, don't let people see your face, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Chu Tianzhao kicked the face towel in his arms and said to the emperor and Chen Yuanyuan: "You wait a while, I will come back when I do good things." ”

Yuan Yuan asked Yang Fei'er worriedly: "Sister Fei'er, will something happen?" ”

Yang Fei'er waved her sleeves and said boldly: "How is it possible, Brother Chu is so good at kung fu." Let's have tea here, I guess he'll be back in less than half an hour. ”

Sure enough, when Yang Fei'er drank the fourth cup of tea, Chu Tianzhao came back with a happy face. As soon as he came, he said happily: "Let's go, I got it." "There were four yellow bronze medals in his hand.

Yang Fei'er said with a smile: "Look at what I said, Brother Chu has always been the most reliable, let's go, let's go into the city." ”

The four of them entered the city with a smile and a smile, and the soldiers guarding the city saw that they came with the clearance token after a while, and they didn't know how they got it, but they were embarrassed to have the token in their hands, so they could only let them in. Yang Fei'er was the last to go in, and she made a grimace at a few soldiers, which made them angry and funny.
