Yongzhou is the city's most powerful military fortress in the world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Inside the dizzying outer city wall, there is an even more complex and elaborate inner city wall, which is densely arranged with many of the most powerful city defense weapons in the world, and the ballista escorted by the forbidden army is just the icing on the cake, which is not very dazzling here.
The place between the two city walls is where the barracks of some Yongzhou soldiers are located, these soldiers are the elite of the Yongzhou army, and they can't help but shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the outer city wall, and they also need to take on the heavy tasks of patrolling out of the city, chasing the enemy, and sweeping bandits.
Of course, the vast majority of the Yongzhou army was still stationed in the inner city, and their main responsibilities were to defend the city tower and maintain law and order in the city.
Most of the people in the team are coming to Yongzhou for the first time, and even if everyone already has a hazy impression in books or word of mouth, it is far less shocking than seeing it with their own eyes.
The division of responsibilities of the Yongzhou army is very strict, the inner city and the outer city are clearly distinguished, and the troops who come in rotation are not allowed to enter the inner city according to the rules, even the most elite and the most trusted forbidden army!
Chu Nan ordered Li Yong to take the soldiers of the forbidden army to rest, and the camp was selected on the side of Chu Ma's subordinates in the outer city, with Chu Mad taking care of him, I believe that they will soon be able to integrate into the Yongzhou army, if there is no accident, these people will be in Yongzhou for at least three years.
The iron gates of the inner city rumbled open, and the sound was so loud that people could know the heaviness of the gates without looking at them, and they really didn't know how such a fortress could be breached.
Chu Nan has the highest nominal identity, of course, he walks in the front, and on the flanks behind him are Chu Mad and Li Zhen, and Leng Yun and Dugu Qiu can only follow last.
Guo Liang, the governor of Yongzhou, took Wenwu to welcome him inside the city gate, his eyes first glanced at Li Zhen, and then said to Chu Nan with a smile: "You have worked hard all the way............
............................................................ This is the first time Chu Nan has seen the most brilliant second son of the Duke of Yasukuni, Guo Liang, the prominent governor of Yongzhou.
Guo Liangren is nearly middle-aged, but he looks dignified and elegant, always has a faint smile on his face, he is worthy of being a talented man who has been exploring flowers back then, and he is very angry, but he does not look pedantic and wooden, which makes people feel close and good at first glance.
Of course, Chu Nan would never take Guo Xianyan's closeness seriously, he almost killed his mother, and the grudge between the two hairs was irresolvable, so he just smiled and nodded, maintaining peace on the surface, and even the perfunctory greetings were gone.
Yongzhou is a military city, which is naturally full of a strong military atmosphere.
In the inner city, not only can you see armor-piercing soldiers with knives everywhere, but even the streets and houses are conspicuous military characteristics, neat, simple, and sturdy, as for whether it is comfortable, it is not considered.
Of course, Yongzhou has been an important military town for hundreds of years, and all dynasties have invested a lot of resources in development, and naturally many aristocratic classes have also emerged.
In the vicinity of the Yongzhou Mansion, there are large mansions and compounds, and the people who live are not only high-level civil officials and military generals, but also a larger number of local families, the Yongzhou Yang family is one of the leaders, and there are also luxurious residences nearby.
When Chu Mad returned to the capital, he naturally had his own place to live, and now he came with Fang Zheng, so he definitely couldn't go to the military camp to stay, and he also needed to bother to take care of it.
Li Zhen has a noble status and was warmly invited by Guo Liang to live in Yongzhou Mansion.
Dugu Qiu and Leng Yun were also arranged to live, and ordered the slaves and soldiers who came with them to go down to rectify it.
It's just that when it comes to Chu Nan's residence, it's a little difficult.
Chu Nan is the chief envoy of the mission, at least nominally higher than Li Zhen as a prince, Li Zhen has entered the Yongzhou Mansion, it stands to reason that Chu Nan should also come in to live, after all, in Yongzhou, except for Yang Shouye's big tent, it is impossible to have a higher standard residence than the mansion.
It's just that the grievances and grievances between the Guo family and Chu Nan are not a secret, and the scene of Guo Liang and Chu Nan living under the same roof makes people's scalps tingle just thinking about it.
It's a little cold, for the civil and military officials present, neither of them can afford to offend, let alone interject to make suggestions, and they don't even dare to breathe.
"Heh............" Chu Nan smiled casually, and arched his hand and said: "I saw the people of the Yang family before entering the city, so I won't bother Lord Guo, it will be more convenient to go to the Yang family to live!"
Only then did the people present wake up suddenly.
Although Guo Liang has been operating in Yongzhou for several years, Chu Nan is just a newcomer, but Chu Nan is not a soft persimmon that Guo Zhizhou can handle at will.
Chu Nan is not only the brother of Chu Mad , but also the son-in-law of Yang Shouye, the absolute number one person in Yongzhou, and has already hooked up with the Yongzhou Yang family before he arrives in Yongzhou.
What's more, Chu Nan is the chief envoy of this mission that everyone in the world should pay attention to, and even the official prince of Daliang and the accomplished generals like Chu Mad have to walk half a step behind him, which can be said to have taken an advantageous position.
You must know that, at least nominally, all the resources of Yongzhou, Chu Nan has the right to govern and dispose of, and they belong to the existence of the official university!
The opponent is so strong, no wonder Lord Guo has been a little irritable recently, and even went a little too far to woo Li Zhen just after they met.
Guo Liang smiled reluctantly, didn't even say the polite words he kept, and changed the topic and said: "Then you will go back to rest first, and at noon in the Yongzhou Mansion, this official will set up a banquet for you to catch the wind and wash the dust!"
Chu Nan nodded and didn't speak, and bowed his hands towards everyone and left.
Guo Liang's face flashed a trace of gloom, and he quickly smiled again, glanced at everyone seemingly unintentionally, and turned back to talk to Li Zhen with a smile.
Everyone subconsciously bowed their heads, and they could already see that the two had just met and gave each other a dismount, but judging by the results, Guo Zhizhou lost half a step!
Yongzhou, it's not calm outside, and it's turbulent inside!
................................................ The Yang family's mansion is not far from the mansion.
Chu Nan didn't plan to live in the mansion to see Guo Liang's face at the beginning, and directly ordered his subordinates to send Linglong to the Yang Mansion.
Yang Shouli, the head of the Yang family in Yongzhou, waited outside the door early and greeted Chu Nan with a group of people.
Speaking of which, Yang Shouli is Yang Lin's cousin and Chu Nan's elder, even if Chu Nan's status is high, it is not easy to bear such treatment.
Chu Nan hurriedly dismounted and helped Yang Shouli, who was about to bow down, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, how dare you work hard, and how dare you accept your big gift?!"
Yang Shouli old fox, he didn't really mean to worship, he had already calculated Chu Nan's reaction, pretended to hold on for a while, then stood up straight, walked towards the door with Chu Nan, and said with a smile: "If you want it, you always have to make a show for outsiders to see, you can't make people feel that Shouye is not in Yongzhou, and the uncle of the Yang family has to let people bully him, right?"
Chu Nan smiled, he didn't expect that the matter outside the mansion would reach Yang Shouli's ears so quickly, these deep-rooted big families were really not ordinary, and they didn't take Yang Shouli's words too seriously.
This old fox said nicely, but he didn't want to really get involved in the struggle between himself and the Guo family, at most he was waving the flag and shouting in the back, if he really wanted to cheer for himself, he could go outside the mansion, just by virtue of his identity as a super head snake and Yang Shouye's cousin, he would definitely be able to deter a group of Xiaoxiao, and it could also make Guo Liang feel jealous and dare not act rashly!
.................................... The area of Yongzhou Yang Mansion may be larger than that of Yang Mansion in the capital, but the layout of the courtyard is much worse, at most it can be regarded as neat and atmospheric.
However, when Chu Nan followed Yang Shouli through several arches, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, and in front of him, there was a quiet pond, and the water area covered about five acres.
You know, this is the northwest known for its drought, and it is Yongzhou, which is close to the desert!
The previous simplicity and atmosphere are just foreshadowing, and this pond is the place where the luxury is really revealed!
Such a pond is nothing in the capital, but in Yongzhou, it is absolutely unique!
Yang Shouli looked at Chu Nan's surprised expression, stroked his beard and smiled.
This idea was originally thought up by Yang Shouye himself, when other big clans in Yongzhou were eager to even put the thatched huts with gold edges, the Yang family was unexpectedly much simpler in decoration, but the big clans who came to show off and ridicule were all killed by this simple pond without exception!
Yang Shouli is proud when he thinks about it!
.................................... Chu Nan sincerely complimented Yang Shouli, this pond in Yongzhou is definitely worth 10,000 gold, and it is not simply rich and powerful to dare to repair.
Yang Shouli was proud in his heart, and his face was still very modest.
Chu Nan still praised.
Yang Shouli continued to be modest.
........................ The two of them talked about this boring topic by the pond for most of the hour.
In the end, Yang Shouli was defeated by the cold air by the pond in winter, and his lips were blue and he trembled and suggested entering the house.
Chu Nan pretended to be reluctant to give up, and continued the topic just now, but Yang Shouli insisted repeatedly, and entered the house with a chuckle.
Yang Shouli trembled and gritted his teeth secretly.
Who said that my uncle was easy to bully? I accidentally fell into this kid's way, he has martial arts protection, and his face does not change a bit, but his frozen hands and feet are numb, and it is really a shame to spread it!
Chu Nan chuckled, this old fox calculated himself three times and twice.
If it weren't for his calculations, the people of the village would have appeared for a while, and the battle on the mountain road would never have been so tragic, and the forbidden army would naturally not have suffered heavy losses; if it weren't for him, how would those villagers dare to take the forbidden army's things; if it weren't for his greed and coercion to ask for reward, how could the ballista be so much less, and it would be a great hidden danger to turn over the old accounts later............ is always cunning and clever, treats others as fools, and refuses to suffer a little loss, even if it is Yang Lin's elders, he can't let him mess around like this, he always has to give him a little dismount to wake him up!
