Chapter 221: The Reason for the Emperor's Patrol?
If it was just when he came to Qiuzi, Guo Rong really just knew how to eat beef and mutton.
But after learning the theoretical foundation with those old guys in Qiuci, and carrying out rich practice on the way from Qiuci to Chang'an, Guo Rong knew that these beef and mutton in front of him had just been cooked.
Pick up a piece of boiled mutton with your hand, and tear it when you pull it, and you will be very appetizing when you look at it.
I took a sip of mutton soup, it was delicious, picked up the mutton and took a bite, and the heat was just right.
Looking at the freshly cooked beef and mutton, as well as the piping hot beef and mutton soup, and the Changying Army who was eating meat and drinking soup and feasting, Guo Rong fell into deep thought.
Taking advantage of Guo Rong's contemplation, Liu Quan, a close confidant of the little Huai'anbao lieutenant, quietly sat next to Guo Rong, but did not say a word, but looked at Guo Rong quietly, knowing that Guo Rong had recovered from his contemplation.
"Guo Lvshuai, this is this?"
"Ouch, Brother Liu, your meat is really good, the meat is good, the soup is also second, except for Chang'an Dingxianglou, I really haven't eaten such delicious mutton!"
"Haha," Liu Quan laughed loudly when he heard Guo Rong's praise, "Speaking of this mutton, how can Guanzhong compare to the side plug, the yellow sheep on the grassland, eat grass, drink spring water, and the boiled meat is naturally delicious." ”
While speaking, Liu Quan himself picked up the meat, tore off it and put it in his mouth, and it seemed that he enjoyed it very much.
With the help of mutton, Liu Quan, who was sitting next to Guo Rong, drank soup and ate meat with Guo Rong, and chatted with Guo Rong at the same time, from mutton to grassland, from the customs of Chang'an to the scenery of Biansai.
After a few words, he tentatively probed for information about Huai'anbao several times, but was quietly bypassed by this guy.
It doesn't matter if you don't leak anything, the key is that this guy called Liu Quan is still trying to get useful information out of his mouth.
In addition to calling himself from Guo Lvshuai to Brother Guo, Guo Rong found that he didn't get any useful information.
With just a few words, Guo Rong could judge that the guy sitting next to him was definitely not as harmless as he looked.
If Guo Rong had been put before, he might have been fooled, but this time he and Pei Zhi had already been prepared, although Liu Quan was as clever as a yellow tongue, but in addition to his own identity, everything else was according to the truth, Liu Quan didn't find a loophole, but just regarded Guo Rong as a low-level military academy of the forbidden army who followed Pei Zhi.
turned to look for a new direction, and continued to try to extract useful information from Guo Rong's mouth, as for Guo Rong, he was not good at intrigues, he chose to defend and counterattack.
Immediately, the two people with their own ghosts began a new round of secret warfare.
From the bitter cold of the side plug, Liu Quan took over the conversation and said directly.
"Although the side is good, but in the final analysis, it is still a bitter cold place, if you talk about prosperity, you still have to say Chang'an, hey, by the way, Brother Guo, since you are a forbidden army, why did you run to this vast grassland?"
"Alas, don't mention it, if you have a choice, who wants to come here, isn't it fragrant to stay in Chang'an?"
Although there was confusion on his face, Guo Rong's lament made Liu Quan ecstatic, and in Liu Quan's opinion, a breakthrough had been found.
Why is that? Brother Guo, you are the Emperor's forbidden army! ”
"Hey, who else can there be, the emperor is an old man!"
"The Emperor?"
"The Emperor Taishang, his old man can't be idle, his old man said that he wants to take advantage of the time he is still alive, take a walk around Datang, take a look at the mountains and rivers of Datang, and enjoy the scenic spots of Datang."
Liu Quan: ......
Originally, Liu Quan felt that Guo Rong was prevaricating himself, but he heard Guo Rong's addition in the back......
"The Emperor Taishang wants to go out on patrol who can stop it, as a result, we followed the Emperor Taishang from Chang'an, crossed Tongguan to Luoyang, passed Luoyang and then arrived in Bianzhou, and then crossed the river to the open hearth, and then entered from Cangzhou, Hebei to and then from Cangzhou all the way around, we have been traveling for more than half a year, and the brothers have long been tired."
Listening to Guo Rong's babbling and complaining so much, Liu Quan's face looked extremely surprised, but in his heart, he recognized Guo Rong's words.
Some people say that it is to avoid the conflict with today's son, some say that it is to persuade the wealthy families of Shandong for the new policy, and some say that it is to take the opportunity to suppress the feudal town......
Emperor Taishang wanted to see the scenery of the Tang Dynasty......
If it were a different person, Liu Quan might not even listen, but Guo Rong was a member of the Emperor Taishang's forbidden army, and listening to Guo Rong's tone, Guo Rong was likely to see the Emperor Taishang often......
Unexpectedly, it is reasonable that the Emperor Taishang's health is not good, this is known to the entire Tang Dynasty, is it too much for an old man who is dying to want to see his country before he dies?
Moreover, although he was in the border fortress, there were some things he still knew, such as the Emperor Taishang did take the Changying Army and other forbidden troops out on patrol, and he did go to Luoyang after customs clearance, and he did knock the Xuanwu Army hard in Bianzhou......
As for the things in the future, although the news has not yet come, after the eastward expansion, it is nothing more than two roads, either north to Hebei or south to Jiangnan, and now they appear here, which obviously shows that what Guo Rong said is right.
It sounds fantastical, but who says it can't be the cause?
At this moment, he felt that he suddenly knew such a shocking secret, and at the same time, Liu Quan also felt that he had dug up a treasure, this guy surnamed Guo might know more than he imagined!
In order to avoid attracting Guo Rong's attention and get as much information as possible, Liu Quan took the initiative to divert the topic.
"Speaking carefully, thank you Brother Guo today, there are thousands of Khitan cavalry outside, and looking at their ......posture, if you hadn't arrived unexpectedly, it might have been really tricky today."
Khitan cavalry, hearing Liu Quan's statement, Guo Rong smiled slightly, this thing is deliberately misleading himself, well, see who can fool who in the end!
"Brother Liu, we haven't drunk today, you can see the outside world if you say that, Lao Guo I also fought in the border army, and we have also seen big scenes, Brother Liu, your dock fort is very strong, and it is built on a hill, with geographical advantages, easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"I'll put my words today, don't talk about more than a thousand Khitan cavalry, even if there are three thousand cavalry from my Datang, they are all versatile, and they don't even have a ladder or anything, do they rely on war horses to attack the city?"
Guo Rong directly pointed out the problem mercilessly, and Liu Quan, who was punctured, was also embarrassed, but just smiled slightly.
"Besides, today's battle is not ours."
