Yanzhou, Liangguo, the vast area, the grass is even the sky, the size alone, even bigger than Youzhou, is the second largest state in the Liang State, the most special thing is that most of the places in Yanzhou are fertile and boundless grasslands, it is a good place for cattle and sheep to herd, chic and free, if it is not for the free water and soil of this side, it is impossible to raise a horse in Hulan Ranch, no wonder that Liangguo tried his best to snatch it from the hands of the Jin State, and built the Great Wall to resist foreign enemies, it is really because compared to the barren Youzhou, Yanzhou is too fertile。

Inside Yanzhou, the west is next to the border of Youzhou, and the north is facing the two countries of Wei and Jin, which is considered to be a place between the three forces, and the imperial court has a Xiongcheng used to guard the frontier here, which is called Kanmeng'an, which is transliterated from the language of the indigenous people of Yanzhou, which means a beautiful city.

Kanmeng'an this city, is the starting point of the entire Yanzhou border city wall, is not only a majestic military fortress, but also a densely populated trade border city, according to the division of the Liangguo court, here is also the county seat of the entire Yanzhou Hulan County, the rear is the Hulan pasture with fertile water and grass.

As one of the most famous pastures in the Liang Kingdom, it can even be said that it is one of the most famous pastures in the entire southern region, producing the Hulan Divine Horse that makes the generals salivate, the endurance and explosiveness of this war horse are top-notch, not only long-distance treks, but also short-distance charges, can be competent, and this kind of * Horses are naturally tame, although they are capable, but they are not fierce horses, with a little training, they can perfectly cooperate with the cavalry, complement each other, and at the same time have great courage, cross the stream and cross the stream just to wait, do not need to cultivate, and will not panic when they arrive at the battlefield, they are simply natural war horses.

A general from another state once said that as long as he was given a Hulan horse, he would rather fight a single man than a wife for the rest of his life. If the horse is in his hand, let him sleep directly in the stable, these words were a joke for a while, but it also made the Hulan Divine Horse famous, and became the top war horse that the cavalry of the southern countries flocked to, every year I don't know how many people have asked the court for this kind of war horse, but unfortunately, the Hulan Divine Horse is only for the exclusive use of the Yanzhou Bloody Army, that is, a person of Gu Cang's level, can barely get two horses, more, he can't do anything.

The importance of Hulan Ranch can be imagined, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the heart of Yanzhou, so as the gateway to Hulan County, Kanmeng'an, the defense is extremely tight, and the garrison in the urn city is one of the nine armies of the empire, because the soldiers are composed of the local aborigines of Yanzhou, they eat beef and mutton, drink milk and grow up, and they are all as strong as bears, so they are given this name.

The general soldier here, named Wanyan Keni, Wanyan is the surname of the local aborigines of Yanzhou, Keni is only a transliteration, which means the son of the earth, the Liang country follows the ancient system, and implements the policy of separating the military and the government, although it is the border Xiongcheng, and it is the general in the Xiong Zhen army of the Liang country, but Wanyan Keni can only live by guarding this urn city and the fortresses of some nearby jurisdictions, and the real principal of the entire Kanmeng'an is still the county guard sent by the imperial court, Pu Dingbo.

So if you want to achieve your goal, you can't find any of them alone, you have to agree to both of them, but there are rumors that the two are not in harmony, and if you want both of them to agree to the same thing, you really have to have a big man come out in person.

Traveling a long distance, passing through a large desolate area, as far as Yanzhou, such a dangerous task, it is natural that Gu Xuan and Jinglong travel together on horseback.

Before, it was to take care of the two subordinates of the Wang family, because the two of them were not good horses, so they rode a little slowly, and now the two of them are traveling, and I feel that I have returned to the days when I first went to work.

In the distance, a majestic city rising from the ground suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

After all, this is a county town, and the rules should be smaller than the state city and the capital, Gu Xuan, a person who grew up in the capital, shouldn't be surprised, but after staying in Huangsha County for a long time, he still feels huge when he sees Kanmeng'an again.

The side to the north is the city of urns, which is specially used to station the army, the two do not plan to go from there, and ordinary people can not actually get close to that side, so as to save any misunderstanding, and from the south here is the gate to enter the city, now at noon, it is the time when people come and go in and out, this kind of border city, conducive to trade, now it is the time when the world is peaceful, and there will never be less people coming and going.

The walls of Kanmengan are towering, the soldiers are well-equipped, all of them are tall and big, wearing thick armor lined with cashmere, all of them are as strong as bears, scanning back and forth, their eyes are fierce and aggressive, not to mention those lowly horse bandits who do not enter the stream, that is, the guards on the opposite side, and the regular armies of the two Jin countries can't help but feel worried when they see it.

Gu Xuan looked at the huge flow of people queuing up to enter the city in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh towards Jinglong next to him: "If there is such a scenery in Huangsha County one day, we can really complete the task." ”

Jinglong next to him said with a smile: "Yes, the prince is benevolent and righteous, he deserves God's help, the prince's wish will definitely come true in the future!"

Deal with it personally, think about it, after experiencing so many things, Gu Xuan no longer has the optimism he just came, he just sighed softly: "I hope." ”

The two got off the horse, lined up, while observing the surrounding situation, chatting about leisure, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, and there is no need to show their identity and enter the city directly, that is not good, and maybe there is a horse bandit here, once they show their identity, they are afraid that there will be a lot of trouble when they go back.

The speed of the crowd is extremely fast, and the defenders at the gate of the city are not very strict, the reason is very simple, even if the people with ill intentions enter the city, as long as the 10,000 Xiong Zhen army in the urn city is not destroyed, you break the county city fart is useless, and the support is blocked out by an urn city, and then it will be a tragic situation of being attacked on all sides, the Liangguo court has arranged the most manpower in Yanzhou and Youzhou, whether it is quantity or quality, it is not the opponent of others, don't think about these crooked ways.

This is the pride of Kanmeng'an, and it is also the pride of Xiong Zhenjun.

Gu Xuan looked at the scene in front of him, and only felt that it would be good if Huangsha County also had this confidence in the future, opening the city gate wide and welcoming guests from all over the world, what kind of arrogance is this?

He took a deep breath, his mood was complicated, and he stopped talking, just silently followed the flow of people into the city.

When it was finally the turn of the two, Gu Xuan didn't wait for the other party to remind him, so he took out an identity card from his arms with a sense of humor.

Since Gu Cang's rise to power, the entire Liangguo court has become extremely strict in the control of the people's household registration, and every Liangguo person must go to the local yamen to register since birth, and then go to get their own identity card, and every three years, the identity card must be updated again, and every year, the yamen must check the file again.

This kind of identity card actually existed in ancient times, but the verification is strict, and it is the current Liangguo as the most.

The soldiers casually checked their identity cards, and then carefully looked at the faces of the two before they said coldly.

"One person who enters the city will be cashiered fifty wen. ”

Fifty wen is not cheap, and of course, it is not expensive.

Jinglong, who was standing on the side, hurriedly took out a hundred articles strung with thread and handed them over.

The soldier on the other side did not count them, but held them in his hands and weighed them twice, and after confirming that they were correct, he threw them into the wooden basket on the table next to them, and then pointed behind him, and said, "Go in!"

The two of them didn't carry any extra packages or armor, they just carried ordinary swords, and the soldiers didn't bother to search their bodies.

Just when the two of them agreed, they were about to walk in with the horses.

The soldier who had just let the two of them go directly suddenly turned his head, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly.

"Stop!"

He roared like this, not only startling the people who were still lining up in the distance, but even the other soldiers clenched their spears in their hands, and then looked at this side one by one.

Gu Xuan turned his head, saw that the other party's eyes widened, strode over, and then looked at the Hulan Divine Horse next to him, and immediately knew what the problem was, and was about to explain.

The soldier on the opposite side waved his hand violently and shouted, "Take it for me!"

Under the city wall alone, there were more than 30 soldiers stationed at the gate of the city, checking the passing merchants, and as soon as they heard the movement, all of them ran over with spears and broadswords, and the procession of entering the city that lingered at the city gate was suddenly scattered, and the merchants were running away in a panic with their things.

Seeing that the people around him were approaching with unkind faces, Gu Xuan pressed Jing Long's hand that stretched out to his waist with a saber, and then raised his hands high, indicating that he had no malicious intent.

Gu Xuan said helplessly: "Everyone, this is my own horse, I 。。。。。。 ”

"Fuck your shit!" the leading soldier scolded, "Your horse, you don't look at the virtue of the two of you, this can be your horse, damn horse thief!"

The other party was so rude, Jinglong suddenly became angry, and reprimanded angrily: "Presumptuous, do you know who you are talking to!"

The soldier was estimated to be the squad leader of the city gate guards, with a burly figure and a fierce face, and when he heard Jinglong's words, he laughed angrily, pointed at Gu Xuan and the two of them, and scolded: "What are you? Dare to talk to Lao Tzu like this! Tie up Lao Tzu! Horse thief, phew!"

As he spoke, a mouthful of thick phlegm spit on the ground not far in front of the two, and the soldiers next to him showed the demeanor of the Ninth Army of the Empire, and when they heard the order, they didn't care about anything else, so they rushed up directly.
