Chapter 7 is a mess on the road
Nanyang County, where King Li Yu was a vassal of the German king, originally belonged to Shannan Dongdao, and now belongs to the territory of Dengzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Jingxiang Jiedu.
Before the Anshi Rebellion, Dengzhou had six counties under its jurisdiction, including Suixian, Nanyang, Xinye, Xiangcheng, Jutan, and Neixiang, with 43,000 households and a population of about 160,000.
Nanyang County is northeast of Dengzhou, next to Tangzhou.
There are 10,000 households with a population of 40,000.
After years of turmoil, Huangchao also broke through Nanyang, and the population was reduced by more than half.
Li Yu was in various opportunities, and he actually became a feudal Nanyang.
On December 27 of the second year, the gate of Fengxiang City slowly opened, and a hundred carriages slowly drove out of the city gate.
Following the carriage came out were 200 knights in bright armor, led by Wei Ai, the general of the Shence Army beside Li Ye.
The money that Li Maozhen gave to Li Yu was Kaiyuan Tongbao, with the word "Jing" on the back, and the copper money was about four kilograms, and Li Maozhen gave Li Yu 10,000 yuan, which is a weight of 40 tons, and a carriage will pull 500 kilograms, and this money will have to be pulled by 80 carriages.
There were twenty wagons pulling marching equipment, tents, grain and grass, pots and pans, shovels, hoes, and so on.
The remaining carriages were pulling the clothes and silk, and the other carriage was pulling the four beauties and Li Yu.
Li Yu wore the gold seal of the book on his body and met with the beauties in Li Maozhen's mansion.
According to Li Yu's eyes, these four beauties are all comparable to movie stars.
The clothing of women in the Tang Dynasty is characterized by lightness, thinness, and transparency, although it is winter and the weather is cold, they are only wearing fox fur and warm hats.
Gestures, graceful.
According to modern parlance, it is white skin, beautiful and long legs.
For Li Yu, a single dog who doesn't know much about women, that is, the dog sees the meat buns, and the gray wolf sees the beautiful sheep and sheep, and the saliva is undercurrent.
But after all, he is the prince, in his memory, in the East Palace of Chang'an, he has not seen many beauties, look at his appearance of not seeing the world, ahh
"Ahem, what's the name of the four of you?"
Li Yu has to ask the name, right?
The four beauties greeted Li Yu in turn, and then lightly opened their lips.
"I'm Chun Niang."
Wow, small and exquisite.
"I'm Xia Niang."
Well, the child-faced giant R-type.
"I'm Qiu Niang."
Oh, the fruit is plump.
"I'm Dong Niang."
Hey, long-legged model type.
"What, get in the car, don't freeze."
Li Yu took the beauty's hand and sent it to the car.
Li Maozhen bit her lip, looking at Li Yu's anxious appearance, the corners of her mouth twitched, hum, she is also a pervert, and she has nothing to offer.
……
On the city tower, Emperor Li Ye and Empress He looked at the convoy that was gradually moving away in the snow, and their hearts were empty for a while.
Li Ye is better, after all, it is common for her son to leave when he grows up, but Queen He is reluctant, and the tears on her face are frozen, hanging on her fair face.
More than a dozen princes and princesses also stood beside their father and queen mother, watching the royal brother leave, and the sadness in their hearts was self-evident.
Especially Princess Pingyuan and Crown Prince Li Zuo, the two of them and Li Yu are siblings of the same father and mother.
Two days ago, the three of them met secretly and said some parting words, and Princess Pingyuan and Li Zuo cried a lot.
Li Yu took the hands of the two of them and comforted: "Don't cry, we still have a chance to meet, take care of my father and mother for me." ”
Li Maozhen also stood on the city tower, looking at the carriage in the distance, her heart seemed to be hollowed out, my beauty!
Thinking of those four flower-like beauties, Li Maozhen scratched her heart, but she had to pretend that she didn't care.
"Sage, I think I'll go to Zhu Quanzhong's camp again in the first month."
"King De is gone, and in three days he will enter the camp."
……
The road from Fengxiang City to the camp of the Xuanwu Army is not smooth.
A withered and stiff arm stretched out of the snowdrift, the palm of which had been chopped off or gnawed by wild dogs, and a few strands of flesh flew from the severed part of the wrist.
Li Yu saw such a scene from the crack in the door, and secretly thought in his heart, what Ding Ergou said was right, this is a world of cannibalism!
At the gate of Zhu Quanzhong's camp, Li Zhen greeted the convoy and took Li Yu to the Chinese army's big tent.
In the big tent, there were guards with bright armor standing on both sides, all with their chests and stomachs folded, with horizontal knives at their waists, and their faces were cold.
When Li Yu saw these fierce and vicious sword and axe hands, he was shocked in his heart, and asked in a trembling voice: "Deputy Envoy Li, this, what does this mean?" ”
Li Zhen smiled slightly, "Your Highness, don't panic, this is the guard who protects Your Highness." ”
"Oh......"
Before Li Yu could breathe a sigh of relief, these dozens of guards all pulled out their cold and shining horizontal knives and threw them into the air.
Now Li Yu was really scared, he thought to himself that Zhu Quanzhong wouldn't be a killer here, right? I was afraid that my legs and feet would be weak.
He froze in place for several seconds, not daring to move.
"Hahahaha! Don't worry! ”
A rough voice sounded, and a person came out from behind the screen of the big tent, with a short figure and a chubby beard, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like Wu Dalang.
"Your Highness, this is my lord."
Li Zhen introduced with a smile.
Li Yu hurriedly greeted Zhu Quanzhong.
"King Dongping, your guards are too scary."
Li Yu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said with palpitations.
Zhu Quanzhong laughed, "Your Highness, don't be afraid, they are protecting you." ”
Li Zhen, who was following him, was even more smiling, and his eyes were almost invisible.
"Since King Qi gave you money and beauty, I can't be ambiguous, I have prepared it for you, and the deputy envoy will take His Highness to receive it."
Seeing Li Yu, who was still palpitating and his face was like earth, Zhu Quanzhong was relieved.
Such a coward, even if he is given a mountain of gold, he can't keep it.
"Okay, okay, thank you King Dongping."
Li Yu hurriedly thanked Zhu Quanzhong and ran out of the tent quickly, it seemed that he didn't dare to stay in the big tent.
Seeing that Li Yu was out of the handsome account, Zhu Quanzhong pursed his lips with a look of disdain, can such a person still be the son of heaven?
Li Tang Jiangshan is mine!
There was a carriage parked outside the big tent, and there were more than 200 of them.
More than 100 of them were carriages loaded with money, and some were silk and satin.
How could Zhu Quanzhong let Li Maozhen compare? He gave 10,000 guan, and I, Zhu Quanzhong, must surpass him and give 20,000 guan.
Good fellow, there were one hundred and sixty carriages for money, twenty carts of silk and satin, and twenty carts of grain and grass utensils.
There was also a carriage empty, and several beauties with masks stood beside the car, waiting for Li Yu's inspection.
"Hehe, Your Highness, this is the beauty that King Dongping gave you."
Li Zhen introduced it with a smile.
When Li Yu saw it, these four beauties were completely different from those given by Li Maozhen.
All of them are charming and moving, showing a mature and sexy temperament.
Li Yu's eyes were straight, and he swallowed his saliva and asked, "What are the names of the four beauties?" ”
"Hehehehehe, I'm Mei Niang."
Uh, curvaceous figure, not bad.
"Hehe, I'm Lan Niang."
Well, the hollow valley orchid, there is a faint fragrance on the body, I like it.
"Giggles, I'm Zhu Niang."
Wow, this leg is long, grunt, black silk type.
"Your Highness, I'm Ju Niang."
Uh, it can't be a girl from Dongying, right? Collect, collect.
"Deputy Envoy Li, then, I'll laugh and accept, hehe, the beauties get in the car and walk!"
Li Zhen saw Li Yu pulling the beauty into the car, and sneered in his heart, how can such a royal child be in charge of the world, or my vision is good, King Dongping must be the overlord of the world.
Coming out of Zhu Quanzhong's camp, the convoy became more than 300 vehicles, and the guards changed from 200 to 400, all of which were cavalry.
The group went straight from Fengxiang to Chang'an.
……
If you want to go to Nanyang, you have to go from Chang'an.
From Chang'an to the southeast to take Lantian Pass, over the Qinling Mountains, take Shangluo, cross Wuguan into Dengzhou, Shannan East Road, and then walk a little way to Nanyang County.
The reason why Li Yu was in such a hurry to leave was that he was afraid that Zhu Quanzhong would regret it, and if they figured it out, they would be dead.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to throw his father and mother in Fengxiang, and left first.
Along the way, you can see the bare dry and hard human body exposed in the snow on the side of the road at any time, and after a long time, Li Yu is also a little numb.
Think about how when you wake up, you almost get unplugged!
Occasionally, there were shadows on the mountain beams and in the bushes swaying, because of the protection of four hundred elite cavalry, these people never came out to try, and the journey was quite smooth, and they arrived at Chang'an safely.
Far away, the capital of Chang'an is like a huge square jade seal creeping on the plain, magnificent, solemn, solemn, and simple, and at the same time, a trace of dilapidation and loneliness make Li Yu have mixed tastes.
It stands to reason that Li Yu still has some things in the Sixteen Kings' Mansion in Chang'an, and he should take them away, but he is really afraid of that Cui Yin.
This old boy and Zhu Quanzhong colluded, if he detained himself in Chang'an, wouldn't he be busy!
When the convoy arrived at the Baqiao outside Chang'an City, they did not cross the bridge and enter the city to rest, but went straight to Lantian County on the east bank of the Wei River.
Lantian County is also called Qingniyi, which was originally a post station, and then gathered people to become a small city. Due to the large number of chariots and horses, in addition to the 400 cavalry, there were also more than 300 coachmen, so they camped outside Lantian City to rest.
The next day, they went to the city to replenish some of the grain and grass, and there were piles of money on the wagons anyway. After lunch, I set off for Lantian Pass.
This road has been one of the post roads between Beijing and the world since ancient times, and it is also the main road for merchants to travel between the north and the south.
Although there have been wars and turmoil in recent years, the trade activities of the people have not been interrupted, and there are still people who take risks to do business.
There are more than 100 miles from Lantian County to Lantian Pass, and the road is covered with snow, and several rutted ditches are also sprinkled with light snow, indicating that vehicles have passed here recently.
Along the way, Li Yu was helpless about the current speed of travel.
Except for closing his eyes and laughing with the beauty, he was in no mood to check the corpse on the side of the road.
The road was a dirt road, uneven, snowy, and the wagons were carrying heavy copper coins. The speed of travel can be imagined.
If you are not afraid of slowness, you are afraid of standing, as long as you can move forward.
He asked the guards how far Wei Ai was, and according to Wei Ai's judgment, there were still thirty or forty miles away from Lantian Pass.
Just when Li Yu was tired of bragging and napping on the lap of the beauty, there was a commotion outside the carriage.
Bang bang ~ Someone banged on the car door.
The beauty in the car panicked, and Li Yu was also woken up.
Outside the car door, Wei Ai hurriedly said, "Your Highness, there are bandits." ”
