Chapter 40: Northern Frontier View
Yanmen is one of the most famous passes in the northern border of the Northern Tang Dynasty, the border is repeatedly violated by the outpaced people, often large and small battles, the garrison army has suffered great damage, so a large number of prisoners are assigned here, once a war occurs, those prisoners with less experience have to rush to the front, and few can survive.
Therefore, when he was still locked up in prison, Guan Kuo thought about what would happen in the future, and he was a little panicked and helpless in his heart, he didn't know what unbearable past he would encounter when he arrived at this place, it was a very desperate depression.
Later, along the way, he met Tetsuyama Wu, and finally had someone to talk to, it was a very strange person who was a little indifferent to anything, and gradually, that fear faded a lot.
Now, Yanmen is showing in front of his eyes like this, and his feeling of rapid heartbeat has arisen again, life is like this, when he learns that a certain one of them is about to face the bad news, he will be afraid of helplessness, for a long time, it will be very tormenting, longer, but it will gradually fade, but suddenly, the bad news rushed into your eyes, and the fear may be deeper than when he first learned it.
Fortunately, there was also a different Tie Shan Wu, who was different from all the prisoners who were sent to the frontier, and seemed to be indifferent to anything, affecting him in front of him, and looking at that person's appearance of looking around with interest, his heart gradually settled down a lot.
The Great Wall stretches and bends, accompanied by heavy mountains and mountains, and extends to the vast place of heaven and earth, and Yanmen Pass, which opens a hole that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, lies there in this way, guarding against the abrupt people in the north, and it seems that it will never collapse.
Everyone knows that the kind of never collapse is obtained at the cost of the death of countless soldiers.
Guan Kuo looked at the brick walls that had been through the vicissitudes of life, and saw that they seemed to glow with a faint golden color in the sun, and couldn't help but feel that his eyes were shaken.
His mind pondered the information he had known, and he began to speculate about the fate he was about to face.
Yanmen Pass, including a large area of more than 100,000 garrison guards, all have the same commander - His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Li Xianyue.
Many people in the Tang Dynasty know that Li Xianyue, the king of Jin, was thrown to this northern frontier five years ago because of a "mistake", and the will of His Majesty at that time was that the king of Jin was arrogant and unruly, and in order to experience this prince, he was instructed to go to the northeastern frontier, including Yanmen, to resist the attack of the Tu people.
Guan Kuo calculated, five years ago, His Majesty would occasionally visit the government in person, listen to the rumors of the servants in the palace, and the rumors outside were that in fact, His Royal Highness Li Xianyue, the King of Jin, was the so-called "mistake", but he only urged His Majesty to care about the Tang Dynasty, and vaguely expressed the hope that his father would not indulge in the harem, and the meaning of the dog and horse, His Majesty was furious, and threw him to the north. Qiu Jingshan asked His Majesty to resign from the post of general of Zhenbei, believing that Li Xianyue, the king of Jin, was enough to protect the stability of northern Xinjiang for decades, but because Qiu Zhanshen had no queen and no worries, he was willing to die in the army, and did not want to die in old age, but accompanied the growth of King Jin.
At that time, His Majesty had stopped taking care of political affairs and lived in the harem, Guan Kuo's father, Zhongshu Ling Guan Qinghe approved Qiu Jingshan's proposal after discussing with some court officials, so Li Xianyue, the king of Jin, became the general of Zhenbei in the substantive sense.
Of course, Guan Kuo knows that his current self, thinking about these things again, is too far away, he is no longer the son of Zhongshu Ling, who is in power to the government and the opposition, but an outlaw prisoner who is in danger, he is assigned to the frontier, and he doesn't know when he will be hacked to death by the sudden people, Qiu Zhanshen, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and he are really not from the same world.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely.
He saw Tie Shan turn around with a smile on his face and said, "What do you think?" ”
"Think when you're hacked to death." Guan Kuo restrained his lonely expression a little, and then said.
"Hehe," Tie Shanwu's laughter sounded a little sarcastic, besides, with his mind, he could see that Guan Kuo said that he was hacked to death, but he was actually afraid that he would be hacked to death, so he said: "Don't think too much, you have to understand, people like us who have nothing and have nothing to worry about, just live, don't think about anything else." ”
"Is it......" Guan Kuo muttered, looking at the bricks and tiles in all directions, and more and more heavily guarded soldiers, his expression was a little dazed.
The six of them were not going to be treated any more, and they were soon ordered to get out of the prison car, and then they were coldly sandwiched between the soldiers who were escorted enough to surround them.
Yanmen is a dangerous pass, but also a big pass, and it is one of the most attacked targets by the Turpents, and the meaning of iron and war here is stronger than that of the famous Yulin military camp, because you have to be prepared to face the line of life and death at any time and place.
With his feet on the solid ground, Guan Kuo looked at the scene of Yanmen Pass with some apprehension.
Here, unlike the soldiers of the major battalions in Chang'an, who paid attention not to squint, while maintaining the majesty of the soldiers, he saw that those people all glanced at the six of them with different expressions, and they were very open.
There will be enemy attacks here at any time, so vigilance, as well as the ability to explore anytime and anywhere, is very necessary, so this is not to look around, but to see everything that can be known, in your eyes, in your mind, everything is not a child's house.
This gave him some insight into what would happen at Yanmen Pass anytime and anywhere.
Tie Shan Wu is still walking in front of him, after a long journey, this guy still looks energetic, although the pace is not hurried or slow because of his personality, which makes people feel a little slow, but he is definitely full of vitality.
In front of them, there were four other prisoners, those people were not necessarily without that kind of idea when Huhu and Guo Monkey were about to escape, but they were not opened the prison door, and then, they saw the head that rolled to the ground, such a blow was huge for them, in other words, if Guo Monkey helped them open the cage and roll into the head on the ground, would there be their own?
In addition, their mood was relatively very depressed, and now, they came to Yanmen Pass with a hard hold, almost thin to skin and bones, and a decadent face.
In such a state, even if they once had some skills, in front of the abrupt people, they could only be killed.
