Chapter 717: The Great Earthquake Pass (2-in-1)
Time: the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty, noon on the seventh day of the second month; That is, there are less than ten days left before the deadline for the first phase of this character.
Location: On the edge of a dense forest.
His face was covered with a scruffy beard, and his clothes were in tatters; On the circle of gauze around his neck, there were faint traces of blood seeping out.
Because he has not washed for a long time, he exudes a strong smell of sweat mixed with the smell of blood, and it can be said that Hu Biao, who stinks dozens of meters in the wind.
At this moment, he was eating boiled water on one side, like a starving ghost reincarnated, nibbling on the few beef jerky left.
While silently looking at the specific situation in front of him, which was also in the team of resting and eating.
Through Hu Biao's observation, it can be seen that the specific situation of the Xuange Battalion team is compared with the original departure from Qijiaojing, or after bypassing the Yumen Pass.
All of their circumstances can now only be described in the word 'desolate'.
First of all, in terms of transportation, there is not one of the ten snow climbing plows built by Wolf Qing at the moment.
Originally, there were nearly 100 high-quality war horses, but now they can only barely reach the point of one per capita; Others were either killed in battle, or they were killed and eaten meat.
It's just that these people have one each, and it can be said that there are few war horses left, and they look very thin.
When Hu Biao and the others were eating and drinking, these war horses also arched a layer of snow on the ground with their mouths, and silently ate the grass below, looking like they didn't have any energy.
Secondly, the materials that originally filled the convoy are now completely gone.
Near the saddles of the war horses, there were bags that were originally used to hold supplies, but now they were all deflated.
The only relatively well-preserved and abundant materials seem to be only some swords, horses, bows and arrows and other weapons.
But even so, there are many of them that are just a few of them.
Because there are many arrows in it, you can find it at a glance from a distance, and they are not the kind of high-end goods made by Wolf Qing and Lao Tie themselves.
Rather, it is estimated that the Tubo people seized tatters from their corpses after the battle.
In terms of quality, it is a little better than the arrows that the Hu people polished out of stones and bones, and then installed the arrows with the shafts.
In the end, the situation with the personnel is rather bad.
Except for Zhou Yaozu, a teenager, a group of netizens can be said to be injured.
Even at this moment, there were still many broken arrows hanging on the armor of many people who only had broken arrow shafts, but the arrows were still on them.
This shows how fierce the battle they had experienced before was.
Miraculously, in the current state that can almost be described as exhausted, and the calf is about to be finished.
Including Hu Biao himself, a group of netizens counted one by one, not only did they look quite good mentally, but there was even a little light flashing in their eyes.
It's just that they forcibly restrain it, and they don't toss it so much.
The reason why this is the case is that they are all suppressing the excitement in their hearts at the moment, waiting for a piece of news, an incomparably important news.
As for what the news is, it will be revealed soon.
At most, three or five minutes later, in the sound of sprinting, Yu Hanfeng, the singer, and the warehouse manager ran all the way from the distant forest with ecstatic looks.
Xu was a little too emotional, and in such a process, the warehouse manager accidentally turned over a dog on the ground and ate; Still got up at the first time, stumbling and continuing to run towards this side.
Just seeing such a scene, after Hu Biao and the others vaguely understood, they were a little overjoyed.
After Yu Hanfeng ran a little closer, he shouted out a sentence in his mouth:
"Lao Hu, the Great Earthquake Pass is really in a position seven or eight miles away, with a telescope, we have all seen the defenders and banners of the Tang Dynasty."
Hearing this, the people who were finally confirmed to be home were about to arrive, and immediately a huge cheer rang out in their mouths.
At the same time, I had a warm hug with the people around me.
The scene and emotions were like more than a thousand years later, after completing the 25,000-mile Long March, the army finally joined forces with its own comrades.
Even Ah Li, Camellia, and God of Wealth couldn't help but redden, and they were about to cry when they saw it.
It's not that the feelings of these girls are so fragile in the past; But after hearing such news, I couldn't help it after thinking about something.
The Great Earthquake Pass is one of the four major passes that enter the pass, and there are also Hangu Pass, Blue Pass, Golden Lock Pass, etc.
Anyway, as long as you enter the Great Earthquake Pass, it is equivalent to entering the legendary Guanzhong area.
Then, they were only more than 700 miles away from the end point of Chang'an City; If they are fast and whipped, they can reach the city that haunts them in two days at most.
Think about the hardships they have gone through along the way.
For example, when crossing the Yellow River, the ice was frozen quite thick on the surface, but when it reached the center, there was suddenly a sound of 'click~' ice cracking.
Boy! The movement almost didn't make everyone, and they were scared out on the spot.
When passing through Lanzhou, their traces were finally discovered by the Tibetans; And then another continuous chase and killing happened to them again.
During the period, the continuous breakthrough and then the breakthrough, the difficulties can be said to be a little unbearable.
In short, in more than two months, on the journey of thousands of miles, they experienced all kinds of hardships, and they could return to Chang'an after seeing it.
It seems completely understandable that everyone wants to cry out with a mixture of joy and sorrow for a while......
After a long period of celebration, the emotions in everyone's hearts were extremely intense, and this was calmed down.
The next thing is naturally to set off immediately, continue to hold the banner of 'Tang Anxi Army', go directly to the Great Earthquake Pass, enter Guanzhong and return to Chang'an City.
It was also at such a time, in the braincase of the God of Wealth girl, after suddenly thinking of something.
Facing Hu Biao, who was pulling the war horse and preparing to walk out of the forest, he suddenly let out an exclamation: "Old Hu, wait a while and then leave."
We're about to enter Datang, but we're embarrassed now.
Not to mention finding a place to take a good shower and change clothes, how do you have to wash your face, let's comb your messy hair, and you should also shave.
Otherwise, it looks like a shame for our Anxi Army, doesn't it? ”
Say it or not! The God of Wealth has such a spirit of treating the Anxi Army as his own home and always paying attention to the image of the Anxi Army, which is very worthy of recognition and praise.
The problem is that after hearing the above statements of the God of Wealth, a group of netizens had different reactions.
Specifically, a group of novice rookies such as Cross, Little White Face, Yun Qing, and Xiong Da immediately began to panic a little like the God of Wealth.
Looking around, trying to find a mountain spring, a pond, etc., you can wash your face or something.
And the words of the old birds, after listening to them, they all started giggling; So much so that the God of Wealth and others were confused, and they didn't know where they had made a mistake.
is still a concubine, and she can't bear to see her cousin's confused appearance.
snatched a horn comb that the other party had not thrown away under the continuous escape and breakthrough, and explained at the opening:
"Silly girl, that's not how it happened.
It is said that crying children have milk to drink, people are visual animals, if we pack up the glamorous, like going out on a blind date, we enter the earthquake pass and appear in front of the Tang Dynasty.
So how can we show how hard and difficult we are along the way, and when it comes to rewarding us, isn't it not so rich?
So before you go, it's definitely a good idea to pack up.
However, it's not that it's better to clean up, but how miserable it is to make it miserable, so that those who see it have sympathy and unbearable hearts. ”
Hearing this, novice rookies such as the God of Wealth reacted.
Boy! These old birds' routines are a little too deep.
The main reason is that they didn't expect that such a similar approach to human sophistication would actually be very particular in the mission world.
After understanding this, the God of Wealth also understood what to do.
After taking a look at his body, he directly pulled out a wolf's tooth arrow from the quiver and inserted it into a hole in the lower abdomen of the armor on his body, artificially creating the appearance of the rest of his life.
After the others saw this, they also got busy, in short, there is only one principle, how messy and embarrassed they can be on their own body, how embarrassed they are.
However, if you want to say that the means are more ruthless, it is still a kind of facial paralysis brother like a war dog, who does not talk much.
After almost tearing the clothes on his body into beggars, this thing still feels that there is something missing, and there are some shortcomings?
After thinking about it for a while, I immediately reacted, it should be that there are too few blood stains on my body, and it doesn't look like there is any impact.
It's not like you've gone through countless battles to fight your way here.
As soon as he gritted his teeth, he took out a dagger in his hand, and stabbed it in the palm of his left hand, and blood gushed out of the wound.
Then this little brother with facial paralysis waved his left hand and made a lot of blood stains on his body.
When I looked at it later, it was much more miserable.
It's just that after doing all this, the war dog didn't hurry to stop the bleeding and bandage the wound on the palm; Instead, he raised the wound that continued to bleed, and asked everyone:
"Do any of you want blood, and put some of it on you?"
The sound is falling, and many voices just keep ringing:
"I want, I want, give me some gauze on my shoulder, or the wound will heal, and it won't look like that."
"Give me some too, yes! It's on the small stomach, and I'm going to get a serious injury that was stabbed in the stomach~"
"And me, here on my thigh......"
After seeing such a scene, Hu Biao, who was holding a piece of gauze and wrapping it around his skull, suddenly couldn't help but shout:
"War dog, you kid take it easy, be careful of excessive blood loss and hang up~"
"What's this! I have a number of my bodies, and I don't have a to put a pound or two of blood out. The dog's mouth replied like this.
Anyway, under such a busy work, after a short time, the appearance of a group of netizens already looks miserable.
On the way back, the broken battle flag that was always flying in the air made the friendly soldiers of this side sad and the people who saw it cry.
In the end, with such a look, netizens carried a burden full of ashes.
made the appearance of giving up everything and finally bringing back the ashes of his comrades, and led a war horse that was so thin that it was not good, and walked all the way to the Great Earthquake Pass.
It's just that novice rookies such as the God of Wealth girl don't know that pretending to be pitiful is just an insignificant point in their follow-up plans.
After returning to Datang and arriving in Chang'an.
How to quickly ascend to the throne in the future, and how to accumulate strength, so as to achieve their plan to return to the Western Regions.
As early as the recuperation period of the modern plane, the old birds actually had a detailed plan worked out; But as the old saying goes, plans don't change quickly.
Soon after, they discovered something very different from what they had expected......
*******
"The thief's mother's Sun team is Zheng, and the amount of wheat rice and cakes provided by the daily morning meal is getting less and less.
In the past, every day was almost when the time of Shen was approaching, and I would be very hungry; Now is the early stage, and the stomach is hungry.
On the contrary, Team Sun is here, but he is getting fatter and fatter, and he can't even tie his belt, right?
It's better to be fatter, and wait until the Tubo people kill it, so that this guy can't even run~"
While tightening the belt of his waist to keep himself from being so hungry, Gao Erniu glanced at the fat figure of his partner Sun Wuyang with hidden eyes.
At the same time, he used a voice that only he could hear, and cursed from the ground, and he didn't dare to let the other party hear it, which caused huge trouble.
No way! Gao Erniu is in the Tang Border Army, although he is a gang leader, he is in charge of fifty people.
But who called Sun Teamzheng, not only his top boss, but also the brother-in-law of Wu Duwei, the general of the Great Earthquake Guard, and Wu Duwei has a younger sister, who is the favored concubine of a certain brother of the Cui family in Qinghe.
Although the above kinship is a little bit more circumvented.
But Qinghe Cui's family, such a behemoth is not something that can be provoked at all for Gao Erniu, this kind of person who is not even a low-level military attaché.
A casual hello from the other party can easily kill him.
Therefore, even scolding Sun Team's body in his mouth can only be carried out silently.
After scolding, Gao Erniu lazily leaned on the root of the city wall of the Great Earthquake Pass, holding a rusty spear compared to his comrades, which was a well-maintained Mo knife.
While looking at the front of him, it was an empty official road at all.
While waiting for the meal that will start in three quarters, that is, the last meal of the day, I have some things on my mind.
Specifically, it is how long you need to save money before you can talk about an aunt.
Because in the current year, the government soldiers used by the Tang Dynasty to deter the Quartet in the past have long been dilapidated, so he is a recruiter.
That is, it was recruited by the Tang Dynasty, and the annual salary was 12 stones of corn and 7 horses of cloth.
In addition, the robes, weapons, horses, and food and drink on weekdays are all supplied by the imperial court, although it is not too much, but it is enough for a man in charge to feed the family.
It's a pity that the second cow in high school is now seven out of twenty.
Relying on such a military salary, not to mention being able to support a family, in fact, even a daughter-in-law can't afford to marry this goods, and it is difficult to support yourself.
Why? Because today's Datang is no longer the Datang of more than 50 years ago.
Although An Lushan's rebellion of the Hu people was finally quelled by the imperial court, under the huge consumption, Datang is now like a weak patient.
There are Tubo, Hui, Nanzhao, etc., surrounded by powerful alien threats.
Internally, a group of eunuchs and eunuchs are in power, and not only control the most elite Shence army, but even the support of the current emperor is also determined by them.
The envoys of the local festival have the right to manage the local area even independent of the imperial court.
Therefore, the military salary, which was not small, was often in arrears, and every time it was distributed to his hand, he did not even have half of the amount.
The reason for this is that the first thing is that the imperial court has some deficiencies when it is issued.
In addition, when they passed in the hands of each level of Shangguan, they would more or less share some of the profits, and in the end, when they reached the hands of Gao Erniu and others, there was only less than half left.
Originally, he was a high school second, but he was still able to get some money and food from his fifty brothers to subsidize himself.
It's just that I saw these brothers, who usually look bitter and haha, and they can't do anything.
In addition to these, the officials will be deducted from some of their battle robes, blades, daily meals, and even the forage for feeding war horses.
In short, this Datang is like a big tree whose roots are gradually rotting.
It's just a tall second cow with a leaf on the tree, although I often think about it in Ah Weng's mouth, why is the Tang Dynasty, which was so powerful in the past.
But most of the time, the only thing on my mind is how to fill my stomach and get more money and food.
If you can get some benefits from the merchants who come and go from Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Qinzhou and other places, and eat a meal of wine and meat, then you will be completely satisfied.
This is not! Looks like the opportunity has come......
PS: After checking the information for a day, people are getting stupid, and the writing is also very slow, so the next chapter will be a little later.
