Chapter Eighty-Seven: Big Vision
When the door opens, not only butterflies and bees, but also flies and wasps will fly in.
"One Thousand and One Nights" is just a rhetoric, a point, since the Tang Dynasty completely opened the country, there are far more than these, and even crocodiles, poisonous snakes, hippos and other things will also be mixed in.
This is a very big impact on a country that relies on agriculture as its main means of livelihood.
When the farmers no longer looked up at the world with their backs to the loess, the old houses caught fire.
In view of the fact that the farmers of the Tang Dynasty have the habit of collecting things to live, as long as they come from outside, whether good or bad, they will try to collect them and use them at some time.
Just like Buddhism, since this thing entered China during the Ming Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the previous Buddha statues were all like people from the Western Regions.
If you don't believe it, if you go to see the 108 Arhat statues, there are few Arhats in it whose appearance is related to the Tang people.
Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Buddha statue has gradually changed to the appearance of the Han people, whether it is the harmony of the facial features, or the movement, or the smile tends to be close to the aesthetic appearance of the Tang people.
The statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva faced the world with the appearance of a man before the Tang Dynasty.
For the sake of the believers, the monks of Shaolin Temple made the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva into a female appearance for the first time, which is nothing to the Bodhisattva, after all, Guanyin Bodhisattva has walked the world as a female avatar more than once.
But with such a little change, the monks of Shaolin Temple still can't put it on the main hall in a bright light, but put this statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva behind the door of the second hall.
After Lao Tzu rode a green ox out of Guguan, he heard that he became a Hu person, which was unheard of before the Tang Dynasty.
Since Li Yuan ascended the throne in Chang'an and recognized Lao Tzu as his ancestor, this legend has come out inexplicably, and it is very popular.
Therefore, the development of culture is actually very much related to the needs of the rulers.
From this point of view, the rulers are the initiators of culture, and the people are the passive recipients of culture.
This kind of statement is very marketable in Datang, they believe that a person who does not know big characters and only knows how to eat hard has nothing to do with culture.
It's very annoying to say this, at least for Yun Chu, it is simply unacceptable, and the education he has received tells him that the people, and only the people, are the creators of history and culture.
As for the emperor, he is also part of the people.
These words are symbolically true, but they do not stand up to scrutiny.
Because the emperor never considered himself to be part of the people, to be part of the laborers, they were exalted, the sons of heaven.
This is the reason why Yun Chu can be seen by some smart people that he is an outlier among the Tang people.
Gentle always wants to knock on Yun Chu's head to see, and always wants to cut Yun Chu's chest to see how his heart is different from the Tang people.
As for Cui Yao, it is estimated that he will want to have a relationship with Yun Chu and give birth to a child to compare with Fei Jiu's child to see what the difference is.
But as long as the intelligent people who are better educated and have their own opinions, they are actually somewhat perverted in the eyes of ordinary people.
They may feel that the rituals of the world are written by them for ordinary people and cannot bind them.
Yun Chu's caravan walked all the way towards Yumen Pass, just like a cultural cloud was pressing towards Yumen Pass.
Yun Chu didn't know if the Tang people were mentally prepared to meet these cultural invasions, but judging from the character of the Tang people, they didn't seem to care much, as long as these cultures dared to come, they dared to accept them.
When the giant caravan arrived at the city of Yumen Pass, it still caused a great sensation, the horns on the city were in the sky, and there were dense soldiers on the city, and it seemed that the rolling wood lime bottles, crossbows, and trebuchets were ready.
The generals at the head of the city may have trembled with excitement at this moment.
The enemy army has already arrived at Yumen Pass, which means that the two major protectorates of Anxi and Beiting have been finished.
Finally, it was their turn to show their strength.
Yun Chu, who was standing at the front of the line, had already smelled the smell of boiling gold juice, and then listened to the drum of the generals sounding at the head of the city, and a big battle was already close at hand.
Gently looking at the chaotic city, he said to Yun Chu puzzled: "Did they not receive the documents, or did the scouts we sent before not make it clear to them?" ”
Yun Chu smiled at the wolf smoke rising straight up and the neat sound of horses' hooves behind the city wall.
If it is really an enemy surprise attack, and the defender will only know about the enemy's soldiers in the city, and only start to arrange, if this kind of general is serving under his command, he will usually cut off the head of the defender and insert it at the door of the commander's tent to show the public.
At this time, there is no doubt that these performances should be for the big cannibals and Persians, just like Zhou Yu invited Jiang Gan to see whether his army was majestic or not.
Sure enough, a moment later, the city gate of Yumen Pass opened, and a Tang cavalry with more than three thousand people came out of the city gate in a neat line, and set up a military formation in the shape of a figure of eight outside the city.
Gently looking at these cavalrymen wearing scarlet cloaks, I also understood at this time that these people came out to put on a show.
After the cavalry came out, there were naturally ironclad foot soldiers behind, the shield hand in front, jumping behind, the crossbowman in the center, followed by a fat man on horseback.
The fat man Yun Chu in front of him is very familiar, because this person is called Fang Zheng, who was originally going to be beheaded by Zhang Donghan, but was rescued by Yun Chu, and later vowed to dig gold to atone for his sins.
Now, seeing that he is wearing an official uniform from the fifth grade, it seems that it should be gold that has played a role, and the brothers-in-law have also played a big role.
There are many brothers-in-law, and the benefits of returning the official are fully reflected at this time, Yun Chutou's help erased Fang Zheng's guilt, and the emperor no longer cares about the bastard things he did in the Western Regions, at this time, his brothers-in-law can help him enter the officialdom again.
When the Tang army appeared, the caravan of the Great Cannibals and Persians behaved a little panicked, and the army was more terrible than robbers in their eyes.
It's just that Yun Chu stood at the forefront on a horse alone, acting stronger than those Tang soldiers, which made their panicked hearts slowly quiet down.
"Don't drive squarely on the sandbank, I've seen the prince!"
After the fat man came over, he jumped off the horse, and lowered his waist with both hands, in front of the two armies, Yun Chu's talent is the real core.
】
"A blessing in disguise?"
"No, the prince will save me from death, so that the family can help, but unfortunately Fangzheng has no long things now, and I want to thank the prince and the prince for being powerless."
"Don't drive in Xizhou and don't drive on the sandbank, really count, you are promoted."
There was no one next to him, Fang Zheng didn't pretend to be in front of Yun Chu, and said in a low voice: "My mother's head and face jewelry have been sold, so I have met the requirements of Li Yifu." From now on, the elder brother will no longer be able to help you, and he is ready to quietly take this official down. ”
Yun Chu glanced at Fang Zheng and said, "After the caravan in Chang'an enters and exits the pass, can you help?" ”
Fang Zheng nodded and said, "A small caravan is still fine." ”
"Well, in the future, the small caravan will come to the sandbank to worship your dock."
Fang Zheng naturally knew the meaning of Yun Chu's words, pointed to a banner in the cavalry group and said: "The new general of the government soldiers is from Silla, called Black Tooth Changzhi!" It doesn't look very close to the prince. ”
Yun Chu looked at the banner of the Black Tooth Changzhi for a moment, then took out a horizontal knife and turned it in the palm of his hand a few times, and the horizontal knife swirled towards the flagpole of the Black Tooth Changzhi.
As a general under Yun Chu's command, he is not qualified to show off his power in front of Yun Chu.
Seeing that the horizontal knife was about to cut off the flagpole, the black tooth Changzhi sighed, stretched out his hand, and firmly pinched the handle of the horizontal knife in mid-air, but the strength was slightly insufficient, so that the blade of the horizontal knife trembled violently, and almost fell out of his hand.
Hei Yan Changzhi, who had been avoiding Yun Chu's reluctance to meet, couldn't hide it at this time no matter what, left the cavalry team, came to Yun Chu, returned the horizontal knife with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "The last general, Hei Yan Changzhi, has seen the prince!" ”
Yun Chu sighed and said: "The white horse and the red tassel are new, it is not the relatives who force them to kiss, the horses are dead in one move, and the relatives are like strangers."
Black teeth are often the same, and Ben Hou's crotch is not dead yet. ”
Hei Yan Chang Zhi arched his hand again: "Black Tooth Chang Zhi is a general, and being close to the prince will bring trouble to the prince." ”
Yun Chu said coldly: "I heard that the king of Baekje, Haedong, went to the Wa Kingdom, and still refuses to return to Wanghua, and I also heard that the Baekje disciples and the Silla Hualang disciples are still sneaking in the Tang Dynasty and are pervasive, could it be that you are still missing the Baekje Kingdom?" ”
The black tooth Changzhi glanced up at Yun Chu, bowed his head again and said: "The heart of the prince has always been beautiful, why has it become so suspicious now?" ”
Yun Chu glanced at the black tooth Chang and said: "Your Majesty ordered you to stick to the Jade Gate Pass, this is the trust of the sky, I hope you will not live up to Your Majesty's hard work."
Although Silla, Baekje, and Goryeo are said to be hundred-legged insects that die but do not stiffen, once this insect shows signs of resurrection, Benhou will personally raise an army of 100,000 and kill them all, leaving no one behind! ”
The black tooth Changzhi said: "The last general is now the guard of the Yumen Pass of the Tang Dynasty, not the guard of any pass in Baekje, so naturally he will only be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and not miss the Baekje country." ”
Yun Chu's sharp gaze stayed on the body of the black tooth Changzhi for a moment, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the black tooth Changzhi, and then he said, "It's good that you remember this." ”
After speaking, accompanied by Fang Zheng, he led a giant caravan into Yumen Pass.
Yun Chu was undoubtedly stern, he rode a war horse to inspect the cavalry and foot soldiers under the command of the Black Tooth Changzhi, these people were the elite of the Tang Dynasty at a glance, at least, Yun Chu did not see the Silla people, or the Goryeo people, or the Baekje people from this group of people.
At the same time, Yun Chu did not see gunpowder weapons on the bodies of the group, which shows that although these people were well trained by Hei Zhi Changzhi, they were not the real henchmen of Datang.
With a gentle smile, he came to the side of Hei Zhi Changzhi and arched his hand: "General Black Tooth, it's been a long time. ”
Hei Tooth Changzhi arched his hand and said: "I've seen the county honor." ”
Gently and affectionately, he took the hand of the black tooth Changzhi and smiled: "Don't blame the prince for being harsh, there are many people in the army, he is strict with you, it is only good for you, there is no harm." ”
Blacktooth Changzhi bowed and said, "The end will know." ”
Gentle smile: "You just need to know which direction the gate of the Lantian Marquis Mansion is open." ”
Hei Tooth Changzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't dare or forget." ”
Gently pointed to the caravan that entered the city and said: "This investment promotion is the hard work of the prince, and I don't dare to make any mistakes."
General Blacktooth, as long as you take this matter to heart, the prince will be happy in his heart. ”
Hei Tooth Chang Zhi looked up at Gentle gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, Gentle didn't wait for him to say it, he continued: "Yumen Pass is a good place, it is a fat difference, but it is also a divide, as far as you are concerned, it is a furnace, it will bake you day and night, until the last drop of your blood is dry. ”
