He's the King of Ryok?!

The soldiers on the city tower were about to die of laughter, and shouted to Li Huai below: "If you want to get away with it, then find a better excuse, you dare to lie to King Liang, do you know what kind of crime this is?" ”

King Liang is clearly in Jiuyuan County!

“……”

Li Huai's brows darkened, and he stretched out his hand into his arms, only to remember that he had given the Liang Wang Decree to Aisha.

In other words, he has no way to prove that he is the King of Liang.

That's when it happened.

"I'll you!"

Bang!

A veteran kicked the recruit in the ass.

"King Liang is back!"

The castle tower cheered.

The recruits around him were all dumbfounded, he was really the King of Cool?

How did King Liang emerge from the Western Regions?

"Open the gates!"

"King Liang is back."

"Hurry!"

More and more veterans appeared, all of whom were from the past who had snatched the military flag with Li Huai.

They are one of the few people who know where King Liang went.

Soon.

The hanging door was put down, and as soon as the city gate was opened, General Su Ding came out of the city gate hole with a large number of old soldiers.

The collective stopped in front of Li Huai.

Landing on one knee and holding your fists in the salute.

"Minister, see King Liang!"

The recruits on the city tower were stunned for a while, and then immediately marched in unison.

"See the Cool King!"

Since beating Li Huai and going to the Western Regions, Su Ding is food is not good, he can't sleep well, this Liang King's courage is really a little too fat.

He dared to break into the Western Regions alone!

Fortunately, King Liang came back safely.

When Li Huai saw them, he was slightly excited, and inadvertently calmed down, and naturally returned to his past state.

"Get up."

He said flatly, as if he didn't care about everything that happened, including some of his own experiences.

"King Xie Liang!"

Su Ding and the others got up, and then spontaneously formed a queue and stood on both sides of the road.

Li Huai strode into the city, Su Ding followed left and right, and the rest followed behind them.

Talk as you go.

"During the time I left, did anything happen in Liangzhou?" He asked first.

"Back to King Liang, there is nothing important in Liangzhou." Su Ding replied.

Li Huai was relieved, it was normal to think about it, there were Shangguan in Liangzhou, and Ge Liang, when he was there, they were also in charge, what could be a big deal.

"Still."

Su Ding continued, "The minister has only heard that it seems that something has happened in Longxi County, and now the communication with the Western Regions has been cut off. ”

Li Huai raised his eyebrows, and the traffic was cut off, which was still nothing.

"Tell me more about it."

"Two months ago, Longxi County painted the foundation, and then began to break ground, ready to build a city, who knows, the Western Regions Gaochang King Department maliciously blocked, engaged in several sabotage, delayed the construction of the city, after the communication was fruitless, Jiuyuan cut off the traffic." Su Dingsu said.

The order to cut off traffic was issued by Shangguan Keke, but in the name of King Li Huailiang.

I just don't know what the court thinks when this traffic is cut off.

To know.

One in Longxi County, one in Lion City, and two transportation lines in the north and south, not only in Liangzhou and the Western Regions, but also in the imperial court.

If the caravans of the Central Plains wanted to go to the Western Regions to do business, they had to take these two roads, and then turn to the Hexi Corridor.

"Since then, the Gaochang royal ministry and the imperial court have sent people to negotiate, and the pressure is estimated to be on our side."

"How about the specific discussion, Jiuyuan hasn't released any news yet."

"But from the third day after the traffic was cut off, Jiuyuan issued an edict, and Liangzhou began to recruit troops."

"King Liang, look, these recruits have been recruited in the past two months."

Su Ding pointed around.

The infrastructure is no different from the past, it is still a dilapidated earthen city, with little defense.

It's just that there are a lot more people.

"How many people are there in the Dingxi Army now?" Li Huai asked.

"Back to King Liang, there are now 3,000 and seven foot soldiers in the Western Army, and none of the rest." Su Ding replied, and carefully paid attention to Li Huai's face.

Seeing that Li Huai was not moved, he continued.

"Over there in Longxi County, I heard that a cavalry battalion of 8,000 people was formed, called the Blood Wolf Hussar Battalion, and the Hussar General was called ...... Iron Pasture. ”

"Jiuyuan also spoke, Longxi City can be built, and if it is not built, it must be built."

What Shangguan Keke said was really in line with the king's intentions, and everything that happened in Liangzhou should have been like this.

Lao Tzu can do whatever he likes, and no one wants to interfere.

Reward!

"How is the armament of the Liang army?" Li Huai was more concerned about this, and after his rectification, Liangzhou incorporated countless chaotic people and homeless people.

Nowadays, there are not one million households in Liangzhou, but eight or nine hundred thousand households.

There should be no shortage of soldiers.

However, soldiers must not use their fists and stones to kill the enemy, but must also have weapons and combat weapons.

Su Ding had long wanted to find an opportunity to complain, and when he heard Li Huai ask, he hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness King Liang, what we lack most now is weapons. ”

"Although the Blood Wolf Hussar Battalion has 8,000 men, many of them don't even have saddles, and they still use old iron scimitars."

"And here in us, most of the 3,000 foot soldiers are still in the arsenal, and the old guns and halberds of some unknown age have rusted."

"Tucheng doesn't have a single cannon to shoot."

"Although it is said that the main forces of the Gaochang royal department are on the side of Longxi County, Tucheng is facing the Hexi Corridor after all, if ...... If the Western Regions attack the Northlands, we have almost no chance of winning, and I am afraid that the Blood Wolf Hussar Battalion will not be able to support it in a short time. ”

What Su Ding said was very realistic.

This also gave Li Huai a wake-up call, although he had a lot of blood, but now that the war starts, Liangzhou will suffer 100%.

An army of 100,000 should be formed, equipped with appropriate military weapons, and basic military literacy should be trained.

These take time.

"General Su, don't worry, this king will find a way." Li Huai, as the lord of Liangzhou, he can't complain, and he can't even doubt his own performance.

He had to show that everything that was happening now was expected and prepared.

Only in this way can the morale of the army be appeased.

When Su Ding heard Li Huai's words, he was a little relieved, although he didn't know what he could do.

But King Liang said that if there is a way, it will definitely change the current situation.

They just wait for the good news.

Li Huai stayed in the Dingxi Army for a day, and the next day he borrowed a sleigh at the post station and rushed back to Jiuyuan.

Just after the Spring Festival, it is still winter, the Yellow River has not yet thawed, and the snow on the road is three feet thick.

The snow is fluffy and you can step on it to the end, but after a few nights of freezing, the snow becomes hard.

The surface is very smooth.

Under the sun, the snow glows like a spar, and the sky is very clear.

Li Huai was accustomed to smelling the yellow sand of the Western Regions, and then came into contact with the breath of Liangzhou, as if there was a trace of sweetness in the air.

The cold wind blew through my ears, and I didn't feel like I was cutting my face at all, but like a gentle hand, gently caressing it.

He slept on a sleigh.

The next morning.

Li Huai entered the territory of Jiuyuan County, and two hours later, he should be in front of Qingshui Township.

When he first came to Liangzhou, in the seventeenth year of Shenwu, it was also winter, and it was also covered with thick snow.

At that time, it seemed that the whole of Liangzhou was like an empty city, and there were no people at all.

This winter was different than usual.

"Stop!"

Li Huai said to the sleigh driver that he didn't know what was going on in front of him, but at least tens of thousands of people had gathered.

It's very lively.

"It's not far, I'll walk the rest of the way myself." Li Huai took out a piece of silver and gave it to the coachman, and rewarded him more.

"Young Master Xie." The coachman happily kicked the silver into his arms, but did not go back, who doesn't like to watch the excitement?

Li Huai came to the edge of the crowd, "Uncle, what are you doing?" ”

The uncle turned around and gave him a strange look, "Where are you from?" ”

"I'm from Jiuyuan." Li Huai replied.

The uncle's eyes were even more weird, "You Jiuyuan people, don't you know what's going on?" ”

"I just got back from out of town." Li Huai explained.

The uncle saw that he was carrying a big bag, so he believed it, so he said to him: "This year...... No, it should be said that last year, last year was a good harvest year, let's not say anything else, half of this harvest year depends on God, and the other half still has to be grateful to King Liang for skating to purchase grain. ”

This...... I'm a little embarrassed.

"Didn't King Liang go skating at the beginning, many people thought it was interesting, so they learned according to the pattern."

"There are more and more people who are learning, and they have all reached the ears of Princess Shangguan, and Princess Shangguan is happy when she hears it!"

"Let's just hold a skating competition, and the winner will have a bounty of ten taels and a medal."

The old man said with his eyebrows fluttering, he hated to be young, if he was young, he would also sign up.

Li Huai was stunned after hearing this, didn't this become a skating competition in later generations?

Later generations searched for the source of skating.

Isn't he going to be the founder of ice skating?

"Young man, do you know how to skate?" Uncle asked.

Li Huai nodded, "It will be a little." ”

"Then you also go to sign up, you can't report if you go late, not to mention the ten taels of gold, if you get a commemorative medal, it will be enough for you to brag for a lifetime." The uncle said dreamily, as if he already had a picture in his mind of boasting about his glorious deeds to his grandson.

"Can anyone sign up?" Li Huai asked.

"Simple."

The uncle woke up from his dream and said, "As long as you put on a skating boy and walk around without wrestling, you can sign up." ”

Li Huai is really a little eager to try, but if he really wins the first place, won't it ruin the atmosphere.

No matter!

It's all based on strength, this kind of lively, since you have caught up, why not make a lively, if everyone knows that he is the King of Liang, he will not be able to catch up with this kind of excitement in the future.

Li Huai inquired about where he could sign up, so he went straight to it.
